Chapter 88: Strange Caravan
Cangping House.
A group of dozens of brocade guards rode horses on the official road, all dressed in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists, with an awe-inspiring momentum.
Passers-by looked at them, all dodging, like snakes and scorpions.
This trip was Gu Fengqing and others who rushed to Beijing.
This time I went to the capital, in addition to Gu Fengqing and his subordinates, there were also Qin Cha and Hu Huan who returned to Beijing - because of the rebellion against King Yu, Hu Huan's defection can be regarded as making up for his mistakes, and he was finally transferred back to the capital from Yingtianfu.
Away from Nanzhen Fusi, for Hu Huan, it was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and he suddenly felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, and he was smiling all the way.
It's just that this smile often converges unconsciously when he sees Gu Fengqing at the front.
He is really in awe and awe of Gu Fengqing now.
Gu Fengqing didn't know Hu Huan's thoughts, riding on a horse, walking in front of the team, with a deep groan on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
"My lord, it's getting late now, why don't you find a nearby inn to stay in the evening?"
At this time, Guo Xinyuan drove over and asked.
This voice interrupted Gu Fengqing from his contemplation, woke up, glanced at the sky, and found that it was already sunset, and I was afraid that it would not be long before the twilight.
After thinking about it, Gu Fengqing asked, "Is there a human being nearby?"
"This is an official road, generally there is a post station in twenty miles, and there is a post station about seven or eight miles away, but the post station is a little small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many of us! But about twenty miles ahead, there is a small town, and there is an inn in the town!" Guo Xinyuan replied.
"Let's go to the inn! everyone is tired all the way, let's go to the inn today to have a good rest and take a hot bath!"
Gu Fengqing thought for a moment and made a decision.
They had been on the road for more than half a month, and because they were accompanied by Qincha, the speed was not fast, and they only walked half the distance in half a month.
Everyone was a little tired all the way, so they just went to the inn to rest.
Guo Xinyuan naturally nodded and came down, and then called two Jinyi guards and asked them to set off first and rush to the inn to prepare in advance.
Then he shouted loudly in the ranks: "My lord has an order, go to the inn tonight to stay, brothers speed up, and try to get there before the sun sets!"
"Yes!"
......
The team picked up speed slightly, quickly crossed the official road station, and then changed to another path - the town deviated from the official road.
Walking all the way on the path, the sun also set little by little, and seeing that there was only a little afterglow left, everyone couldn't help but subconsciously speed up a little.
Gu Fengqing was sitting on his horse, and suddenly saw a group of people in front of him who seemed to be parked on the side of the road, as if they were resting.
When I got a little closer, I found that it seemed to be a caravan, there were dozens of vehicles, all with flags, the scale was not small, and the number of people was quite a lot, roughly speaking, there were at least two or three hundred people.
At this time, they also saw Gu Fengqing and the others, and they all looked at them one by one.
"My lord, this group ......"
At this time, Guo Xinyuan suddenly came up and said with a frown.
"Just be on guard!"
Gu Fengqing didn't say anything, just made a gesture, which was the code word of Jin Yiwei.
After seeing this, all the brocade guards were in their hearts, and subconsciously clenched their hands on the embroidered spring knife.
At this time, the two teams passed by, and the brocade guards looked indistinguishable from each other, but in fact, their hands were all on the handle of the embroidered spring knife.
As for the caravans that were resting in place, they also looked at Gu Fengqing and them tightly, and their eyes were shining.
Gu Fengqing rode by and glanced at them seemingly very casually, but at this moment, a carriage in the caravan beside the road suddenly opened a corner of the curtain.
The curtain opened so little that you couldn't even see what was inside, but the hand that lifted the curtain was revealed.
A woman's hand, to be exact.
That's not the point, it's what a woman carries on her hands – armor covers!
It became common for aristocratic women in the Great Xia Dynasty to grow nails, but ordinary people could only wear one or two on their little fingers and ring fingers, and the patterns and accessories had strict requirements and could not be transgressed.
But this woman wears one on the little thumb, ring finger, middle finger, and index finger on each hand, and all of them are jade finger guards, which are about four inches long, and the surface is engraved, dotted with emerald, and inlaid with beads. The pattern is extremely complex and exquisite.
Although this woman's hand was only lifted and then quickly withdrawn, in this shocking glance, Gu Fengqing still found something unusual.
In addition to the carved flowers on the armor cover, there are also phoenix patterns!
That's not right!
This is not the queen of the palace and the queen mother, and ordinary concubines are all trespassing!
Gu Fengqing's heart immediately sank.
But his face was silent, but he led the team and quickly passed the group.
After throwing it away, Guo Xinyuan said in a low voice: "My lord, this group of people is very wrong!"
"When I passed by just now, I felt that there were many masters in this team, and a few of them even made my heart beat just by breath - it is impossible for an ordinary caravan to have such great strength!"
Speaking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Guo Xinyuan's eyes: "My lord, do you want to take people from humble positions and take down this group of people of unknown origin for interrogation?"
Hearing this, Gu Fengqing's face showed a deep groan.
Of course this caravan is not right!
This can explain everything just by the few finger sleeves that Gu Fengqing saw!
But......
"Forget it, enter Beijing first," Gu Fengqing shook his head and said: "As long as they don't provoke us, there is no need to meddle in our affairs! Tell your subordinates to be on guard, and when they rest tonight, the patrol and guard personnel will be doubled!"
Guo Xinyuan nodded and didn't say more.
As for Gu Fengqing, the reason why he didn't win the championship was because there was a group of unidentified caravans that he met on the side of the road, even if he knew it was strange, there was no need to meddle with it.
Although Jin Yiwei said that he can manage everything, he can manage everything, but there are many strange things in this world, and he can't see one in charge of another.
Not to mention......
Based on the woman's finger trap that Gu Fengqing saw, if it weren't for the audacity of this group of caravans and secretly transgressed. That is, this caravan has an extraordinary background, and it is even very likely to involve the affairs of the palace.
As long as they don't come to provoke, there's no need to meddle.
......
Jin Yiwei had already walked away, and the caravan left in place was still watching vigilantly.
"Wang ...... Steward, how did we meet Jinyiwei? Will it ......?"
At this time, a sturdy man dressed as a guard walked up to a tall young man and whispered.
Hearing this, the young man frowned, looked at the direction where Jinyiwei had gone, and groaned secretly.
After a long time, he said: "I think it should be a chance encounter! Don't pay attention to it, just let our people be secretly vigilant, if they really find out, then ......."
Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Kill it!"
......
