Who remembers each other in late autumn, Konoha Xiaoxiao. The countryside is a long way. Liuqu Pingshan and Mengyao.

When it is good, it is a pity to say goodbye to the scenery, not to ascend. I only feel that my soul is gone. When the southern goose returned, it was even more lonely.

……

There are several routes from Northern Yanheluo to Huaizhou in Southern Qi, such as turning to Dongyang Road, going south from Qingtian City or Yongquan Pass, or directly entering Huaizhou through Panlong Pass, but with the outbreak of war and the tension between the two countries, these directions cannot be passed smoothly, at least not in a grand manner, because there are ranger scouts on both sides of the road watching closely.

The route arranged by the Wang family was from Heluo City to the south, and after entering the territory of Moyang Road, it continued to quietly go south from the west of Shiquan City, until it reached Xunyang City, which was now under the rule of Southern Qi.

After arriving in Xunyang, there was a response from Wang Shao, a partial branch of the Wang family, and the follow-up journey was a smooth road.

Although this road has to go around in a large circle, relatively speaking, it is the farthest, but it is better to be hidden and safe enough not to attract the attention of those who care.

After a short rest in Xunyang City, the Wang family's convoy entered the Wangmei Ancient Road in the southeast of Xunyang City and headed for Huaizhou in the east.

After more than a year of efforts by the governments of Jinghuai and Huai, the three ancient roads in the Shuangfeng Mountains have been rested and widened to varying degrees.

In particular, the southernmost Qiling Ancient Road, both sides of the mountain wall are shielded, and the road is smooth and widened on the original basis, just like an official road across the mountain, making the communication between Huaizhou and Jingzhou more convenient.

At the critical moment, the defenders of the two places can make a wide range of roundabout maneuvers through these three ancient roads, and the speed is not slow.

The scenery in the mountains is majestic and wonderful, but you can see strange rocks and lush vegetation as far as the eye can see, even if it is the late autumn season, you can still see a large area of green and green.

The mountain breeze passes through the forest and sea, like a crisp concerto, stretching endlessly.

In the carriage in the center, the maid brocade book lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside curiously with a pair of big eyes.

Wang Chulong was dressed in a moon-blue coat, leaning on a pillow, holding a volume of geographical records describing the border area between Yan and Qi in his right hand, and Wang An's entrustment before leaving came to mind.

"Chu Long, this trip not only has to show the sincerity of our Wang family to Nanqi, but also can not hand over all the hole cards and there is no place to maneuver, you must be cautious in grasping the proportions. Although Lu Shen is young, his mind is extremely deep, he can hold the hands of those green forest heroes of the Seven Stars Gang, it can be seen that he is by no means a reckless person, you don't have to be bluffed by him, you need to act freely. ”

The corners of Wang Chulong's mouth were slightly hooked, in fact, she didn't think that Lu Shen preferred that kind of means to play with people's hearts.

Jinshu put down the curtain and retracted his head, looked at the faint smile on Miss's face, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, you don't seem to be worried at all?" ”

"Worried about what?"

Wang Chulong's delicate eyebrows stretched out, and he put the book on the small table next to him.

The brocade book wanted to speak and stopped.

She is just an ordinary little maid, and a slave of the Wang family, she has been waiting by Wang Chulong's side since she can remember, and she has never left the Wang family's mansion. Compared with those peasant daughters in cloth and hairpin skirts, her life can be regarded as fine clothes and food, but in today's troubled times that have not been seen in a hundred years, she is still just a small grass that falls with the wind.

For the upcoming unfamiliar environment, as well as the Nanqi soldiers who are difficult to distinguish between good and evil, the little maid is naturally uneasy in her heart. Perhaps with this in mind, Wang Chulong didn't want to take anyone with her before leaving, except for the guards who were responsible for protecting her, she went south alone. Jin Shu pressed the fear of the unknown in his heart, insisted on following desperately, and only after repeated persuasion did Wang Chulong reluctantly nod.

She hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I don't know what kind of person that Lu Gongzi is." ”

Wang Chulong said: "What kind of person do you want him to be?" ”

Jin Shu had obviously thought about this more than once, and said with anticipation: "I hope he is gentle, understanding, respectful and considerate of Miss's difficulties, and can accept Miss's suggestion." ”

"What if he is self-righteous and rude, and never polite to me?"

"That'...... Then I'll fight with him! ”

Wang Chulong couldn't help laughing, and said leisurely: "You are a little girl who has no power to restrain chickens, how can you fight with a general who has killed countless people?" Aren't you afraid that he will let those soldiers below tie you up and put you in a dungeon? ”

Jin Shu shrunk his neck, and that terrible image appeared in his mind, and couldn't help but say timidly: "He won't be so rude and rude, right?" ”

"Naturally not."

Wang Chulong stretched out his hand to collect the scattered hair on her sideburns, and said softly: "Judging from those past deeds, Lu Shen is not that kind of frivolous temperament, but he will also not be a man who obeys women's words. Although he is young, has his own hills and valleys in his chest, and is very assertive in encountering problems, how can such a person be a submissive character? ”

Jin Shu blinked his eyes, he didn't expect that the young lady would have such a high opinion of him before she had seen that Lu Gongzi.

"I know you don't necessarily understand that, but it doesn't matter."

Wang Chulong leaned back on the pillow and said slowly: "I'm telling you this, I just hope you understand that now the Wang family is eager to be accepted by the south, and if we ask for others, we must lower our posture and not put up a stand in front of outsiders." In the future, when I get along with Lu Gongzi, you must not carry the arrogant temper of the past, remember? ”

"Miss, don't worry, the maid will never talk nonsense."

Jin Shu nodded obediently.

Wang Chulong didn't say anything more, picked up the book and looked at it slowly.

A few days later, the convoy of two carriages and more than a dozen knights arrived at the exit of the Wangmei Ancient Road, and after being inspected by the first section of the Guangling Army here, it continued to the east.

After walking more than ten miles, more than 20 knights appeared in front of them to block their way.

After a while, a person came to the carriage under the guidance of the Wang family's guards, and a peaceful tone passed into the carriage: "The villain Tan Zheng, now the leader of the Lu family's guards, came to greet Miss Wang on the order of my young master." ”

A gentle voice came from the carriage: "There is the leader of Lao Tan." ”

Tan Zheng's eyes were square, and he saluted: "Don't dare." This is the certificate of the Lu family's business name, as well as the private seal of my young master, which can prove the identity of the villain, please Miss Wang for inspection. ”

The two things were handed into the carriage by the Wang family's guards, and they were sent out later, and there was an additional silver ticket with a denomination of fifty taels.

Then I heard the Miss Wang say: "You have to escort you all the way." Now that the weather is cold, there are fifty taels of silver here, please make some wine to warm up your body, and don't refuse. ”

Tan Zheng's heart moved slightly, this Miss Wang's behavior is not like a deep boudoir who does not go out of the door, he will naturally not be shallow when he follows Lu Shen, and he will not lose his temper because of this bit of silver, so he said calmly: "Miss Xie Wang will reward money." My young master is busy with military affairs and has no time to greet him in person, so he asked the villain to apologize to Miss Wang and pray for understanding. ”

The woman in the carriage said softly: "This is right, I don't dare to work Lu Gongzi." ”

Tan Zheng negotiated with the Wang family's guards, and the carriage was still guarded by the Wang family, and the people he brought were protected on the perimeter.

The convoy did not enter Guangling City, but turned from the straight road in the northwest direction to the official road in the north-south direction, and then inserted it diagonally into Baoying Mansion and then arrived at the territory of Lai'an Province.

Nothing to say all the way.

In early November, on a cold afternoon even though the sun was shining, the carriage entered Lai'an City unimpeded, and after walking in the city for about a stick of incense, it stopped outside the Lu family's house.

Tan Zheng said hello to the steward who was waiting outside the door, and then watched the carriage enter the Lu Mansion through the side door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't deliberately peep along the way, but he also knew that Miss Wang had stayed in the spacious and luxurious carriage from beginning to end, and he had hardly seen the curtain open when he was on the road during the day, which showed that he was clumsy and could endure loneliness.

Tan Zheng has now entered the inner circle around Lu Shen, he knows a lot of things very well, and he also knows that his young master and that Miss Lin have been married, and he can't help but be a little curious at this moment, this new Miss Wang doesn't seem to be a simple character, I just hope that there will be no chaos in the young master's backyard in the future.

Tan Zheng is not the only one who has such thoughts, at the door of the back house, Song Pei, who was standing beside Lu Shen, stared at the slowly approaching carriage, and his heart was full of twists and turns.

Although she has not opened her face yet, she still stays by Lu Shen's side as a maid, but with Lu Shen's previous promise, she is not worried about her future, she just hopes that she can meet an atmospheric housewife in the future, not for herself, but for the young master not to worry about things at home.

There is no doubt that she will naturally be biased towards Lin Xi in her heart, and it is inevitable that she will look at the eldest lady of the family who seems to have fallen from the sky in the carriage in front of her.

In exchange for the driver, the mother-in-law parked the carriage near the Yimen, and then lowered the wooden steps with a smile on her face and opened the door.

Song Pei suddenly felt a little nervous.

Then I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid come out first, and then helped a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old down the wooden steps.

The woman is slender and graceful, and seems to have a natural and timeless temperament, although the clothes are not deliberately luxurious, and the makeup is relatively simple, you can still feel the atmosphere and calm demeanor of the eldest lady of the family.

His face is like a hibiscus, his eyebrows are like willow leaves, and his clear eyes are shining with pure brilliance.

Just looking at it at this glance, Song Pei was a little ashamed of himself.

Wang Chulong's expression was calm, like a soft cloud, he took a few steps forward, and raised his eyes to look at the man opposite.

She was a little surprised in her heart, although Lu Shen was long, he was not a burly general in the ordinary sense, but like a handsome son, even if it was just a simple moon-white round-necked robe, he still showed a warm and jade-like temperament.

Seeing his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Fengshen Yulang, with a faint smile on his face, at this moment, Wang Chulong's unknown uneasiness when he went south alone dissipated, and he stepped forward and said, "I've seen Lu Gongzi." ”

Lu Shen returned the salute and said with a smile: "Miss Wang has traveled a long distance and worked hard. ”

Wang Chulong shook his head slightly.

Lu Shen said: "An independent courtyard has been prepared in the house, please take a break for Miss Wang, and then talk about business." This is Song Pei, the housekeeper in the house, and she will help Miss Wang arrange it. ”

Wang Chulong responded: "Thank you." ”

"Please."

"Okay."

Walking in this strange mansion, Wang Chulong looked at Song Pei's back in front of him, and then looked at the elegant and exquisite environment around him, and his heart became more and more peaceful.

Although she was calm and indifferent in front of the brocade book, this time she went south to shoulder arduous responsibilities and deal with all unknown risks, how could she not have any worries in her heart.

Now it seems that the situation is much better than I expected.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but smile softly in her eyes.
