Chapter 208: A Chance Encounter
On the flat and wide official road, a sturdy ox pulled a black and valuable carriage, galloping wildly at a speed not completely inferior to that of a horse, rolling up smoke and dust along the way.
Four huge bells hung at the four corners of the carriage, which kept tinkling along the way, constantly attracting strange eyes from passers-by.
"Eldest Prince, we will arrive at Lianshan City before noon today. ”
Hu Dali wore a sunshade hat on his head, held the reins in his hand, and said loudly to the carriage behind him.
"Wow, that's so fast, didn't you say it would take at least two days to travel?"
Before Huang Qi could speak, Huang Zhen had already rushed out of the carriage, stood behind Hu Dali and held his shoulder, and shouted in surprise.
Hu Dali sighed with emotion: "According to the normal speed, it does take two days to travel from Yunzhou City to Lianshan City, but it is just this thousand miles that the eldest prince has found...... The cow is really powerful, so I shortened half a day. ”
After hearing Hu Dali's explanation, Huang Zhen couldn't help but nod in agreement.
After nearly two days, the few of them finally saw the strength of this big scalper.
Not only is it not inferior to a horse when it runs at full strength, but even its endurance is very strong, and it is generally used to pull the cart with a horse, and it must be allowed to rest and rest when it walks a certain distance, otherwise it is easy to get tired.
And this big yellow ox pulled the carriage for a day yesterday, only everyone rested for a while during lunch, and the rest of the time did not rest at all, and this shortened half day was actually the time for the horses to rest.
Huang Zhen looked at Rhubarb, who was pulling the carriage at a gallop, and was amazed, and soon got back into the carriage again.
In the carriage, Du Lao was fiddling with some of his bottles and cans, and after passing through Huang Qi's special carriage, it was extremely stable, and he was not worried about the powder in the bottles and cans bumping out.
And Huang Qi is the same as before, leaning against the car window and holding a book to study carefully.
Huang Zhen had never seen this book before, it was unusually old, he leaned over to take a look at it yesterday, and it was full of some messy and strange symbols, just a glance made him dizzy.
"Big brother, I heard that this Lianshan City is bigger than Yunzhou City?" Huang Zhen squeezed to Huang Qi's side, sat down next to him, and asked curiously.
Huang Qi just hummed, nodded slightly, and just looked at the book in his hand and stopped talking, which made Huang Zhen quite helpless.
"Then are we still in a hurry in the afternoon?" Huang Zhen continued.
Only then did Huang Qi speak: "Naturally, I will continue to hurry, if I stay for half a day every time I go to one place, when will I be able to reach Jiangnan?"
Going back is not as good as when I first came to Yunzhou, at that time there were cloud beasts from Qiushui Palace to greet me, so it only took half a day, and I didn't use cloud beasts when I went back this time, but it took ten days to get out of Yunzhou.
Huang Zhen was a little regretful, he still wanted to take the opportunity to play.
He looked through the window and saw in the distance a slow carriage in the distance, and as the bell rang, their carriage soon approached to catch up with the carriage and became side by side.
Huang Zhen looked up, only to see that there were two guards with knives driving in front of him, although Huang Zhen did not know martial arts, but from the cold light that flashed in the eyes of the two of them, it could still be seen that they were definitely not easy people.
The carriage was covered with carvings and ornaments, and a pale pink gauze curtain hung on the window to block the scene inside the carriage, and two petite figures were faintly seen sitting quietly in the carriage.
Seeing that they were about to overtake the carriage, as if attracted by the sound of their bells, a small white hand lifted the corner of the curtain, revealing a pair of large smart eyes, looking at them.
It's just that the one behind can't be seen, because Hu Dali has completely overtaken the carriage and is far behind, Huang Zhen retracts his gaze with some regret.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of galloping behind the carriage, and Huang Zhen looked curiously, only to see that the original slow carriage was chasing after it from behind at this moment.
"Dare to ask, but it's Yinyue Gongzi ahead?"
One of the guards shouted loudly, and even Huang Qi, who had been holding the scroll, put down the scroll and looked out the window in surprise.
Hu Dali naturally heard it, and he gradually slowed down, letting the carriage catch up, and the two carriages drove slowly side by side.
The gauze curtain was completely lifted, revealing a delicate and lovely little face, but it was a rich lady, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was an even younger pretty little girl next to her, who was blinking her big smart eyes and looking curiously at this side.
"It turns out that it's really Brother Huang, Xin Ming has seen Brother Huang. After the young lady saw Huang Qi through the car window, her pretty face quickly turned red because of excitement, which added a bit of coquettishness, and she actually made a etiquette for a scholar to meet.
Huang Qi looked at the inexplicably excited little girl opposite, with a look of hesitation on his face, and replied: "This girl, it seems that I have never seen a girl before." ”
Huang Qi is very confident in his memory, as long as he has crossed paths with him, he will never be unable to remember, the rich lady in front of him, who calls herself Xin Ming, has a brother Huang, and his tone is so intimate, he shouldn't have any impressions.
Seeing Huang Qi say this, the young lady's face seemed to show a hint of frustration and loss, but it quickly flashed and disappeared, but explained: "Brother Huang, my eldest brother is Jiang Liuchuan, I am his younger sister, you also came when my father was fiftieth birthday three years ago, and I met you at that time." ”
Hearing the name Jiang Liuchuan, Huang Qi finally came to his senses.
"Surabaya Sword" Jiang Liuchuan is a famous young master in the Yunzhou martial arts, who has defeated several martial arts celebrities with a hand of Surabaya swordsmanship, and is known as one of the most promising juniors in Yunzhou.
The Yunzhou martial arts mentioned here are naturally ordinary rivers and lakes, and they have nothing to do with the Xianwu Sect.
Huang Qi came to Yunzhou to take care of his family's property at that time, and accidentally met Jiang Liuchuan, at that time, his reputation as the son of Yinyue had been widely spread, and he also wanted to understand the rivers and lakes of this world through this prestigious Surabaya sword.
It also coincided with Jiang Liuchuan's father's fiftieth birthday, Huang Qi came to congratulate him by the way, and now that he thinks about it, isn't the Jiang family in Jiulian City.
"It turned out to be a sister of the Jiang family, but I was clumsy. Huang Qi replied apologetically.
Huang Qi remembered this Jiang Xinming, Jiang Liuchuan seemed to love his young sister very much, and that day in the Jiang Mansion, he specially hugged him in his arms and introduced Huang Qi.
But Huang Qi remembered that at that time, Jiang Xinming was obviously still a little girl who was only as high as her chest, and her eyebrows had not fully grown, but in three years, she was so delicate, and her bulging breasts were not at all like the scale that should be at this age.
It's no wonder he didn't recognize it at first.
Jiang Xinming laughed happily, her two eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and she was indescribably cute: "Brother Huang doesn't have to see outside, just call me Xinming." ”
