Chapter 301
Also, what happened to Zhuang Feiyu in the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom? Since she pretended to poison Zhuang Feiyu that night, she had never seen Zhuang Feiyu again, and she had never heard any news about Zhuang Feiyu in Jiangzhu Mountain, so he might have hated her very much.
Zhuang Mengdie's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, just in her moment, Qi Xiangchen had already left her behind, Zhuang Mengdie shook her head gently, forcing herself not to think too much for the time being, her toes kicked the horse's belly, the horsewhip in her hand twitched, and quickly caught up with Qi Xiangchen.
At noon, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and the heat under his feet was steaming. After a long day's journey, people are already tired and tired, not to mention that it is not suitable to rush at noon in this hot summer, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke.
Qi Xiangchen and Zhuang Mengdie saw that there was a tea shop in front of the official road, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and rode their horses to the tea shop to replenish some water and rest.
After drinking a large bowl of herbal tea, Zhuang Mengdie finally felt a lot more comfortable, looked at Qi Xiangchen beside him, but saw Qi Xiangchen holding a big bowl in his hand, and the herbal tea in the bowl had not yet been drunk, so he held it like this, staring at a big tree on the side of the road with his eyes.
Seeing Qi Xiangchen's eyes were different, his face was solemn, Zhuang Mengdie also followed Qi Xiangchen's gaze and looked at the big tree, which was full of branches and leaves, but although there were not many such leafy trees along the way, there were also a lot, and there was nothing unusual.
But Qi Xiangchen's face was so solemn, it would definitely not be because of an ordinary big tree, Zhuang Mengdie looked at it fixedly, and finally saw what was the difference between this big tree and the big tree on the side - on the trunk of that big tree, a pattern similar to a mountain was drawn.
Qi Xiangchen should have seen that pattern, could this pattern be Jiang Zhu Mountain's contact signal? What is the message it wants to convey? What is the incident on Jiang Zhu Mountain? Has Xiao Yuanqing and Yu Zhouwan successfully escaped from Jiang Zhu Mountain?
Just as Zhuang Mengdie's mind was circulating, Qi Xiangchen came to her side, lowered his voice and said to her: "Something happened to Jiangzhu Mountain, it seems that our two-day trip will be temporarily delayed." ”
"What's going on in Jiang Zhu Mountain, should we turn around and rush back now?" Zhuang Mengdie also lowered her voice, looked at Qi Xiangchen with a concerned face, and asked anxiously.
"Eat some dry food first, and we'll be on our way after eating. Qi Xiangchen didn't answer Zhuang Mengdie's words, took the dry food and ate it.
Since he couldn't ask from Qi Xiangchen's mouth, Zhuang Mengdie didn't ask any more, and silently ate the dry food, after all, it is unknown whether he will have to travel a long way next, or if he is full first, it is important to fill the water bladder with water.
Qi Xiangchen and Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly finished eating the dry food, and immediately hit the road after supplying the water source. The scenery along the way quickly receded, the oncoming wind was hot, and after running off the beaten official road, Qi Xiangchen took Zhuang Mengdie into a small city.
Although the small town has nothing to do with the bustle, there are many pedestrians on the street. Qi Xiangchen led Zhuang Mengdie through several streets and alleys with ease, and finally stopped in front of a relatively lively wine shop.
The flag in front of the door of the restaurant is waving in the wind, making a loud noise, and it is very enthusiastic to attract customers.
As soon as Qi Xiangchen and Zhuang Mengdie turned over and dismounted, a shopkeeper came up to take the reins with a smile on their faces. Love to read
"Take care of these two horses for me. Qi Xiangchen said as he stepped into the wine shop. However, he was stopped by the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's smiling face disappeared, and he asked Qi Xiangchen for silver.
Just when Qi Xiangchen's face sank and was about to attack, another person came out of the wine shop, judging from the dress of that person, he looked like the shopkeeper in the wine shop.
"Bring me two jars of good wine. Qi Xiangchen saw the shopkeeper, and secretly gestured to the shopkeeper while ordering the wine, and when the shopkeeper saw the gesture that Qi Xiangchen was gesture to, his eyes instantly became respectful, and he said loudly to the shopkeeper who was still waiting for the silver: "What else do you see, why don't you take care of the guest's horse quickly!"
"Yes, yes, the little ones will go. The shopkeeper snorted twice, didn't dare to look at it again, and hurriedly led Qi Xiangchen and Zhuang Mengdie's horses and retreated.
"Come with me, two distinguished guests. The shopkeeper smiled kindly and beckoned Qi Xiangchen and Zhuang Mengdie to go inside.
After seeing Qi Xiangchen secretly make a gesture, the shopkeeper's attitude became very respectful, and Zhuang Mengdie finally understood why Qi Xiangchen passed through several wine shops and did not enter, but chose this one. Thinking about it, this liquor shop should be the stronghold of Jiang Zhushan, which seems to be opening a liquor shop to do business on the surface, but in fact it is for exploring and exchanging news.
Although Zhuang Mengdie knew it in her heart, her face was still silent, she followed behind Qi Xiangchen, and after entering the wine shop, she looked around while walking inside.
Secretly thinking in his heart, he should have thought that Qi Xiangchen had eyeliner all over the Tianxuan Kingdom, otherwise how could he find out so coincidentally and so easily that she was taken back to the Tianxuan Palace after being taken away by the guards, how could he know that there were some things about Xiao Yuanqing and Yu Yin back then.
Zhuang Mengdie thought that when Qi Xiangchen just took her back to Jiangzhu Mountain, although Yu Shiyi was ordered to take her to familiarize herself with the terrain and organs of the entire Jiangzhu Mountain, at the beginning, wherever she went every day, Qi Xiangchen was either personally accompanied by Qi Xiangchen, or she followed Yu Shiyi at any time. Obviously, when she first arrived at Jiangzhu Mountain, Qi Xiangchen was not very confident in her, and he was more vigilant about her whereabouts.
But later, she was completely free to enter and exit, and Yu Shiyi no longer followed her all day long, and even she could go to visit Xiao Yuanqing alone.
Maybe visiting Xiao Yuanqing is not alone, after all, there is a blind and dumb Qi Bo who guards outside the stone gate where Xiao Yuanqing is imprisoned all day long. It's just that I was drunk by Zhuang Mengdie's wine every time.
Now, Qi Xiangchen led her to the secret stronghold of Jiangzhu Mountain, although he didn't tell her clearly, but he didn't shy away from her at all, obviously he was no longer wary of her, and completely regarded her as his own.
Qi Xiangchen trusts her so much at the moment, when she deals with him with her own hands, Qi Xiangchen will definitely be furious. But who made him Qi Xiangchen, who imprisoned and calculated his father, and hurt his brother who was pretending to be him.
If it weren't for this, he might not have to deal with Qi Xiangchen, at most, he would find the right time to leave him, and he wouldn't let him get the Sima family's art of war and Xiao's mental method.
Zhuang Mengdie followed behind Qi Xiangchen with a heavy heart, and when Qi Xiangchen stopped, Zhuang Mengdie came back to her senses and found that they had already passed through the guest dining and accommodation area of the wine store at this time, and arrived at the door of a room in the inner courtyard.
