Chapter 403: Go up the mountain to save people
"Let's go!" Xia Qiyue's voice was clear and cold, and it sounded coldly from the carriage, and at the same time gave Lao Wu and the servant a great sense of security.
It turned out that the lady was the one who was deeply hidden, and I thought that they would not be able to protect the master even if they were desperate, but they let the master protect it in turn.
Lao Wu didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly drove past the group of victims.
Seeing that the sky is almost dark, but he has not yet walked to the town, Lao Wu is a little bottomless, this snowy day, Mrs. is still pregnant, if you stay outside this night, can you pay it back?
"Madam, why don't we take advantage of the fact that it's still early, and have a little more road, maybe there is a town ahead!"
The waiter was also worried, but it was white outside, and he couldn't see anything at all. Not even a village can be seen.
"Forget it, it's been a day's walk, and the horses can't stand it, so let's stop and find a leeward place to rest, and then hurry tomorrow morning at dawn!"
Even if Xia Qiyue is anxious, he also has to consider the practical problem, this horse has been on the road for a day, and if he doesn't stop to rest and rest, something will really happen.
And it's so cold outside, Lao Wu has been in a car for a day, so he has to rest anyway.
The carriage had hay and fodder for the horses, as well as foam mats and tarpaulins that she had bought from the space, which could fence off the resting area and keep out the cold even if it was not windy.
However, these were given to Lao Wu, and Xia Qiyue took the book in the carriage.
Although Xia Qiyue, who was followed by a waiter, was a little inconvenient to use the space, she had nothing to find fault with if she made this condition first.
Checking the situation in the space from time to time with her mind, An Zichen still had no trace of coming in, and her heart was a little more anxious.
"Madam, you are resting here, and the slave maid will go out and find a way to boil some hot water and make some porridge for you to drink! This dry food is too cold, you are pregnant, you can't catch a cold,"
The waiter got out of the carriage as he spoke, first helped Lao Wu set up the tarpaulin, fed the horses, and then lit the charcoal he was carrying, and began to boil water and porridge.
Xia Qiyue took advantage of the fact that she was the only one left in the carriage and took hot food from the space, although she was anxious about the man, she couldn't really ignore the baby in her belly.
When the three of them slept until midnight, Lao Wu sat up because he heard movement in the distance.
After getting up, I carefully called the waiter up first, but Xia Qiyue had a light sleep and woke up together.
The three of them listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and prepared for battle.
But when the people approached and found that it was An Youde and their group, the waiter was the first to react, reacted violently, and cried directly.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you have walked quite far in a day, and you almost can't catch up." An Zihao rubbed his hands and spoke.
Xia Qiyue looked over, and six people came.
"Why are you all here? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you spend the New Year at home? ”
"Fourth sister-in-law, you still say this, you dare to run out indiscriminately while pregnant, or the New Year, scaring everyone to death, where are we still staying?" An Sijin couldn't help but sigh to warm up, and the words he said were extremely heartwarming.
There were twenty of them in total, in addition to the six of them and ten family members, four or three Wen Po and Mei Niang also followed.
Behind it is Xia Qiyue's luxurious carriage.
After talking for a while, Mei Niang's eyes were red and she got out of the carriage and helped her pregnant lady into the carriage.
Although he came out in a hurry, he brought everything in the carriage, including several warm bedding, rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, etc., and charcoal.
I brought all the things I needed all the way, and it was three horses that pulled the cart, all of which were BMW-level horses in the house and good horses that traveled thousands of miles a day.
Xia Qiyue still felt a little unreal until he got into his luxury carriage.
suddenly remembered that after she had just crossed over, when she fled from the famine, she also invited these six people to protect a few of them.
With the addition of this group of people, plus a horse per person, and a separate carriage for the next people, Mei Niang and the waiter are waiting next to them when they are going to rest in summer and July.
When they went out to cook or something, Xia Qiyue made up for herself, but it didn't matter if she didn't secretly make up for herself, because they protected her very well along the way.
The closer you get to Anyang Mansion, the more people there are, but fortunately, there are many of them, even though they still encountered several robberies, Xia Qiyue finally sent a crossbow directly to each person.
The team was so strong that no one could get close, so the rest of the road was a little calmer.
When I arrived at Anyang Mansion, it was already twenty days later, and An Zichen had been missing for more than twenty days.
Xia Qiyue's heart was even more manic.
Her stomach has been seven months old, and under the bumps along the way, there will occasionally sting, but she can't care about it so much, so she goes straight to the yamen when she arrives at Anyang Mansion.
I didn't meet An Zichen's team along the way, and I should have arrived at Anyang Mansion.
I just don't know why he didn't enter the space and lost contact for so long.
When they arrived at the Yamen, what they greeted was indeed the new county order that An Zichen had mentioned and was sent by the emperor to serve here.
She explained her identity, and Wen County Ling invited people into the yamen, but she drank a few cups of tea, but she didn't speak, which made Xia Qiyue even more anxious.
"Wen County Order. You are talking, where is General Dingyuan? ”
Xia Qiyue asked again in a tough tone.
The six people behind her also looked at Wen Xian Ling anxiously, giving him a sense of oppression, and finally he sighed and spoke
"I also ask Mrs. to mourn, the general, he took a few cronies up the mountain, saying that he was exploring the terrain, but it has been ten days, and there is no news at all, this official ...... Alas, two groups of people were sent to look for it, but there was no news. ”
Xia Qiyue chuckled in his heart, go up the mountain? Isn't going up the mountain in this snowy road closure looking for death?
"What about the fourth brother's 10,000 army? Why did you only bring your cronies up the mountain? An Zihao spoke behind her.
"This little brother, the 10,000 troops are in disaster relief, and it was personally arranged by General Dingyuan! The terrain on the Black Tiger Mountain is complicated, and the general is also afraid that the army will press up, so he will follow the path of the bandits in the Black Tiger Mountain, so he decided to only take his cronies to explore the way! ”
The county magistrate explained carefully, knowing that he dared to find the woman here with a big belly in front of him, and he only had admiration.
"But... Fourth brother, he..."An Zihao glanced at Xia Qiyue and didn't dare to say any more.
Everyone understands in their hearts that going up the mountain for so long is fundamentally unlucky.
"Prepare, we'll go up the mountain early tomorrow morning!"
Xia Qiyue's heart was already in a mess, but his face was still very firm.
She wants to go up the mountain, she wants to get her man back, she wants to see people in life and death and she wants to see corpses.
"Madame, you can't run around with this body! Let them go up this mountain, let's stay here and wait for news, what if this affects the child in the belly? ”
Mei Niang didn't approve of it when she heard it, and now she can persuade her, and no one else will listen.
