After Xiao Yao's previous reminder, Hong Lingbo's heart suddenly calmed down, not only did he no longer urge him on the road, but whenever he encountered something, he had to ask Xiao Yao's opinion before doing it himself. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) It seems that in her heart, she has become more and more regarded Xiao Yao as someone she can rely on.

The two of them were in the post station of Ziling Town, and after hearing that Li Mochou had bought the fastest horse in the post station, they immediately continued to run south along the official road non-stop. After Xiao Yao asked the guys in the post station about the direction of this official road, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He smiled and said to Hong Lingbo: "Master is eager for revenge, and he can't wait to have wings on his back, so he hurriedly flew to 6jiazhuang." But she didn't know that the faster she thought about it, the more she would go the other way. ”

Hong Lingbo heard this, although she didn't understand what it meant, but she knew that Xiao Yao must have her own reason, so she asked softly: "Although it is still a long way from Jiaxing, the master is running along the galloping road and starry night, and this road is like a stone, wide and smooth, and I think I will be able to go to Jiaxing soon." Why do you say that Master is going the other way?"

Xiao Yao pointed to the road in front of him and said: "This road connects Xiangyang in the north and Changde in the south, which is an important road through the vast land of the lake. When we went from Hengyang to Xiangyang before, we took this road. But this road from here to the south less than 30 miles is Jingmen, more than 100 miles is Jingzhou, although after passing through Li County to Changde, then turn east, go to Yiyang, Changsha, through Hongdu Mansion (Hongdu Mansion is today's Nanchang), and finally can also go to Jiaxing, and all the way are Kangzhuang Avenue, flat and wide, but it is a detour. Master was vengeful at this time, and he didn't want to take those rugged paths, and he only thought that when we went to Xiangyang a few times ago, this road was smooth and easy to walk, so he walked here, but he didn't realize that this was actually a lot of wrongful roads. ”

Hong Lingbo screamed softly "ah", and after thinking for a while, he said, "When you say that, I also understand." After the master left Xiangyang City, he should have traveled all the way east, although the road was rough and a little slow, but it was a straight road to Jiangnan, and he would not take the wrong road at all. But at this time, Master walked on this southbound road, although the road was smooth and wide along the way, but he still had to make a big circle to get to Jiaxing. In contrast, it is much slower than taking a small road. In this way, the master actually does not have the desire to achieve it. ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you want it, you can't reach it." So, now we just need to follow the path and wait patiently for the arrival of the old man on the path that Master must pass. ”

Hong Lingbo said, "There are many cities that Master has to pass through along the way, how do you know where to wait to meet Master?"

Xiao Yao smiled confidently and said, "Master rides a fast horse and walks the road, so naturally he will not be slow. I'm afraid, just when the two of us walked from Ziling Town to the post station just now, and stood here and talked about kung fu, Master, she can already see the walls of Jingmen City at this time. But although we ride slow horses and walk the path, we may not necessarily be left behind by the master, so you can rest assured. After a pause, he said: "I have long heard that Yueyang Tower is famous all over the world, but I have never had the honor to personally climb the tower to see the beautiful scenery of Dongting. It just so happens that this place is not far from Yueyang, let's go, let's go to Yueyang first. ”

Hong Lingbo, who was secretly guessing in his heart which city Xiao Yao would be waiting for his master, never expected that he would suddenly say that he was going to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongting at this time, and at first he thought that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw that he had already mounted his horse and turned towards the southeast path, the direction he went to Yueyang, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Yao, this is not the time to visit the mountains and rivers, let's hurry up and wait on the master's necessary road, so as not to miss a big event." As he spoke, he also turned on his horse and hurried after him.

Xiao Yao saw Hong Lingbo chasing after him, his expression was anxious, and he couldn't help but want to tease her. Seeing that he was about to be caught up by Hong Lingbo, Xiao Yao's legs suddenly clamped inward, and the leather whip in his right hand was swung out, and he whipped it crisply on the horse's buttocks. The horse was in great pain after the blow, and with a sharp force on his feet, he sprang forward several feet in an instant. Hong Lingbo saw that Xiao Yao seemed to be intending to play with him, and his heart was even more anxious, and he shouted "Stop" while whipping his mount. One of them took the lead, galloping wildly in front, and the other galloped and chased after him. Nowadays, the moon is in the sky, the silver stars are all over the sky, the hills and ravines on both sides of the road, and the shadows of the trees are shady.

The two of them galloped south through the small road of Shayang County southeast of Jingmen, and when they reached the boundary of Jiangling, the sky was already bright. After this night's bumpy gallop, Xiao Yao and Hong Lingbo were already sleepy and tired. At this time, Xiao Yao had no intention of frolicking and amusing Hong Lingbo anymore. When he arrived at the Jiangling ferry, he finally stopped his horse and waited in front of an inn next to the ferry, waiting for Hong Lingbo's arrival.

About a tea hour later, Xiao Yuanyuan saw Hong Lingbo's yellow shirt appear on the horizon, but whether it was the horse or the person on horseback, they all looked embarrassed and haggard at this time, and every time the horse lifted his foot and galloped, he had no intention of being light and fast, and it seemed that he might stumble and fall to the ground at any time.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao hurriedly rushed over and helped Hong Lingbo off the horse. Seeing that Xiao Yao finally stopped playing with him, Hong Lingbo said weakly: "You let me chase so hard." ”

Xiao Yao galloped on his horse before, letting Hong Lingbo chase after him, the original intention was just to make Hong Lingbo nervous in the name of joking, so as to see her little daughter's posture, as for going to Yueyang, it was not a joke, but Yueyang really went to the place where Li Mochou had to go. At this time, he saw that both of them were tired and their playfulness had long been exhausted, so he helped Hong Lingbo and said, "Lingbo, I'm joking with you." ”

Hong Lingbo smiled bitterly: "Of course I know that you are joking with me. Alas, it's good to catch up with you, let's not rest, let's go directly to the Master's path and wait. ”

Xiao Yao said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made you worried." But we have come all the way, and it is the only way to rush to Master. ”

When Hong Lingbo heard this, he said curiously: "Didn't you say that you were going to Yueyang Tower to enjoy the scenery of the cave before?

Xiao Yao looked at Hong Lingbo's face as if he was happy and worried, stunned, and had some unbelievable complicated expressions, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and said secretly: The hard work of this road was finally not in vain, and said with a smile: "We are going to Hongdu Mansion to wait for the master to arrive, then you say, should we go up to this Yueyang Tower?" After speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at Hong Lingbo's expression.

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Hong Lingbo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, his cherry lips opened slightly, and he pointed at Xiao Yao with his left hand with a stunned face, as if he wanted to say something to him, but after his lips moved a few times, he never said it. Xiao Yao saw that Hong Lingbo wanted to speak and stopped, he seemed to be very angry in his heart, and just wanted to apologize, but he saw that the corners of her mouth suddenly rose, her smiling eyebrows were slightly condensed, her cherry lips were quietly closed, only a little white teeth were exposed, her eyes were also flashing with brilliant brilliance, and her face suddenly turned happy, and the hands that were originally pointing at her were also clenched into a fist. Looking at the expression on Hong Lingbo's face that changed and changed in an instant, Xiao Yao couldn't bear it anymore and finally laughed.

After the two laughed together for a while, Hong Lingbo raised his fist, gently slapped Xiao Yao's shoulder, and said in a coquettish voice: "You are so bad, you have worried about others in vain along the way." ”

It turned out that after Xiao Yao learned that Li Mochou went all the way to Jingmen and Jingzhou, he expected that she would turn east in Changde, pass through Changsha and Liuyang, pass through Hongdu Mansion, and finally arrive in Jiaxing. Changsha is not far from Changde, and Li Mochou took a fast horse, so Xiao Yao calculated in his heart that he and Hong Lingbo might not be able to reach Changsha before Li Mochou, so he simply went directly to Hongdu Mansion to wait, so under the pretense of joking, he took the small road and Hong Lingbo went straight to Yueyang on the shore of Dongting Lake, preparing to rush directly to Hongdu Mansion through Yueyang.

After Xiao Yao explained his plan to Hong Lingbo, Hong Lingbo said angrily: "Although you are kind, but this road has made me frightened and chased hard, so that now we are both tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and then ride a horse thousands of miles to rush over, I am afraid I will have to die of exhaustion." ”

Xiao Yao said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, don't be angry." Let's take a break and go. ”

Hong Lingbo hurriedly said: "I can't rest, Master must be on the road day and night, if we take a rest and delay time, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Master in Hongdu Mansion by then." So saying, he went to lead the horse and hurried away.

Xiao Yao looked at the Jingjiang River in front of him, and suddenly said wistfully: "Since this is the case, then let's take a boat to visit the eight-hundred-mile Dongting." ”
