Chapter 128: Escort
The carriage moved slowly, and it seemed very quiet all the way, and occasionally you could hear the "rustling" sound of the wheels running over the snow, and the "crackling" of charcoal from time to time in the charcoal basin in the carriage.
Maybe it was because the carriage was driving too smoothly, or maybe it was because he got up early in the morning to hurry, in this warm and quiet environment, Lin Wanwan only felt a burst of sleepiness coming, and the whole person soon fell into a state of drowsiness.
The heavy curtain on the window completely isolated the wind and snow outside, and she didn't know that at this time, outside the curtain, there was a group of secret guards in secret, and the two close guards who had been guarding Su Jingqian's side were also escorting her in the snow.
In order not to let her notice, Zishu and Ziheng deliberately kept a distance from the carriage, and carefully watched the movements around them every way.
After driving smoothly for a while, Ziheng suddenly noticed a trace of abnormality, and he immediately used his internal force to probe into the distance with his ears, and heard a faint sound of horses' hooves behind him, as if a galloping horse was galloping towards them, and his heart was cold, and he immediately grabbed the reins, vigilantly guarding against the movements around him.
Zishu, who was walking in the front, also seemed to notice the abnormality, and made a vigilant gesture around, and the carriage immediately slowed down steadily.
At this moment, Lin Wanwan, who had already fallen asleep in the carriage, was unaware of the tense atmosphere outside the carriage.
When the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Ziheng's eyebrows froze, and a sharp light crossed his eyes, and suddenly the sword was unsheathed, and the sword light reflected a cold glow in the snow.
The snow and mist in the forest are shrouded, just like the light curtain of white yarn blown by the wind, and in the hazy and hazy, there seems to be a black shadow shuttling through the snow curtain, appearing and disappearing.
In order to prevent the other party from turning the tiger away from the mountain, everyone had to hold their breath and stare at it, and when the man approached, they attacked him in a group and captured him.
However, when Ziheng saw the person on horseback through the snow mist, he only heard a "snap", and the long sword in his hand had been reinserted into the scabbard.
Ziheng immediately turned over and dismounted, greeted the comer, and asked in some surprise, "Master, why are you here?" ”
Su Jingqian sat on horseback, the black fox fur on his body was almost dyed white by frost and snow, and the green silk was covered with a thin layer of snow, as if he had just passed under the pear blossom tree.
"When I had nothing to do, I came."
Su Jingqian responded lightly, and then dismounted, the green silk turned slightly with the wind, and the frost and snow all over his body shook off the ground.
When Ziheng heard this, he was speechless for a while.
He looked at the frost flowers condensed on Su Jingqian's long eyelashes, and the face that was so pale that it almost merged with the ice and snow on the ground, and his mood was quite complicated.
Before leaving, he also saw that the master was discussing with General Nie, thinking that he should be very busy, plus the master has always acted in a personal way, so there are so many things to worry about, how can he be idle? In the final analysis, he still can't rest assured that Miss Lin can't be relieved, if he doesn't see her arrive safely, I'm afraid that his heart will always hang and not settle.
Ziheng couldn't help frowning, and immediately persuaded: "It's freezing outside, even if the master is not raised in the house, he shouldn't ride a horse against the wind and snow, how can your body withstand such bumps now?" ”
"I'm not so weak that I can't even ride a horse." Su Jingqian's tone was still flat, as if he was saying something inconsequential, and after he handed the horse whip to Ziheng, he walked towards the carriage.
Zishu received a message from the secret guard, and immediately ordered someone to stop the carriage and rushed all the way over.
When he saw Su Jingqian, he saw that Su Jingqian was already standing in front of the carriage, carefully dusting off the snow and frost on his body.
"Master, ...... are you?" Zishu was stunned, his heart full of doubts.
The master had told them before that they must not make Miss Lin suspicious and escort them in secret, but now, he is standing in front of the carriage so openly and brightly, and he still looks like he wants to get into the carriage, could it be that the master is planning to tell Miss Lin the truth?
The sub-book is puzzled.
But what made him even more puzzled was why Miss Lin didn't even move at all after the carriage stopped.
Zishu looked at Su Jingqian with a bit of inquiry and incomprehension, and through the snowflakes flying like catkins, he saw that Su Jingqian's deep eyes were still quiet, but they were even more unpredictable, he stared at the heavy curtain of the carriage, and said, "I'll send her back with you." ”
"But ......"
Zishu was about to ask, how would he explain to Lin Wanwan later, but saw that Su Jingqian had already lifted the corner of the door curtain, and then he seemed to remember something, paused, and said quietly: "I forgot to tell you that I put some soothing incense in the carriage, and she has already slept." ”
Zishu was stunned again when he heard this, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.
It turned out that the master had made up his mind from the beginning to send Miss Lin back with them, but he didn't want Miss Lin to find out, nor did he want them to know in advance.
If they had known in advance that he would have braved the wind and snow, they would have tried their best to dissuade him, and even if they could not dissuade him, they would not have let him ride the horse, but would have arranged for another carriage, which would not only delay the journey, but also attract attention. And along the way, they were only afraid that they would be worried about his body, always pay attention to his every move, pay attention to him, and take care of him, but they would neglect Miss Lin's safety, so he came up with this method, hiding it from them first, and then rushing halfway.
Su Jingqian's mind has always been unpredictable, even Zishu, Ziyu, and Ziheng, who have been by his side for many years, can't figure it out, but in matters about Lin Wanwan, they can always vaguely glimpse some traces.
Zishu looked at the curtain that had been lifted and lowered, and sighed faintly.
Perhaps, loving someone is like this, even if you don't say anything, no matter how deep you hide, you will always inadvertently reveal flaws, the master is like this, and so is Miss Lin.
The moment Su Jingqian stepped into the carriage, he immediately extinguished the soothing incense in the incense burner, and then roasted his cold clothes by the charcoal basin until they were warm, and then carefully moved to Lin Wanwan's side.
He slowly lowered his eyes, quietly staring at her quiet sleeping face, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually turned into a pool of spring water, soft and beautiful, as if telling the secret that he had been buried deep in his heart all these years.
