Zi Ling refused to shirk, but Wang Huan persisted, so Zi Ling had no choice but to get on the horse. However, she had never ridden a horse before, so sitting behind Wang Huan was unavoidable and frightening.
Everyone had already stood up, and Ma Liang and Yan Qianshi came closer to pay their respects.
Wang Huan was so anxious that she nodded slightly to say hello. She knocked her horse's belly and was about to continue galloping downstream of the river bank. Another horse suddenly came out from the side, stopped in front of the horse and shouted: "Miss!"
Wang Huan hurriedly tightened the reins, and the strong horse stood up with a long neigh. Wang Huan sat steadily on the horse, but Zi Ling behind him had never encountered such a dangerous situation, and desperately hugged Wang Huan's
Slender waist, so as not to fall off the horse.
However, even so, I was so frightened that my face turned pale.
Wang Huan glanced forward with her handsome eyes, and saw Wei Chuanzheng standing in front of her, saying loudly: "Miss, your Majesty, Master, and Princess are all looking forward to your return! It's too chaotic outside, so it's not advisable to stay out for too long.
!"
He had been traveling with Wang Huan these past few days. When he returned to Jiangling, he heard about Lou Qingyi's disappearance. Without waiting to enter the city, he asked the defenders at the city gate and rode straight to the river.
Wei Chuanzheng was riding his horse in pursuit, but Wang Huan was light in body and was very good at handling horses. He chased her all the way but failed to catch up.
"Go back?" Wang Huan pulled the reins of the horse and circled him, her voice getting colder, "Wei Xiaowei, do you know that Miss Lou is my close friend? She has disappeared now, what do you think?
Can I turn a blind eye?"
Wei Chuanzheng said: "Now Jiangling is surrounded by unrest, spies from the Northern Qi Dynasty are hiding in the dark, and bandits are running around everywhere. The villain is afraid that they will be detrimental to the eldest lady."
Chen Chang glanced at Wei Chuanzheng. Although this man was brave, he was more cold-blooded than Zhou Yihai and Ma Liang.
This can be heard from the way Wang Huan addressed him. You must know that Wang Huan always called Zhou Yihai brother Zhou, and called Ma Liang by his first name. Only Wei Chuanzheng was addressed by his military rank, which shows how close he is.
Yiban.
Wang Huan raised her eyebrows and said simply: "If you are in a hurry to go back to keep yourself safe, just go back by yourself. I still want to find my sister." After saying that, she shook the horse's rein and galloped away.
Wang Huan rode a fast horse, but Chen Chang and others rode an ox cart, which was too slow. Although the Lou family had hairpins for generations, there was no land in the back beam to produce horses. The military use of horses was seriously insufficient, and there were not so many among the people.
There are horses, so the vehicles are mostly ox-carts.
Chen Chang's body has not fully recovered yet, and he is sitting on the creaking bullock cart, his thoughts racing.
Miss Wang is really a warm-hearted person. I hope she can become his noble person again this time and help Lou Qingyi avoid danger.
Just because she came to the house without entering to rescue the sisters, this friend is worth keeping.
Seeing that Chen Chang and the others were lagging behind, Wang Huan had to rein in her mount. Zi Ling took the opportunity to offer to dismount and ride in the bullock cart with Chen Chang, but Wang Huan had no choice but to agree.
After walking for a while, a group of cavalry came galloping towards them. There were actually twenty or thirty horses. One of the leaders dismounted and reported to Wang Huan: "Miss, after I got the letter, I will mobilize the troops according to your instructions, but In a hurry, they only gathered more than 200 people. However, please rest assured, young lady, they are still mobilizing people everywhere. I estimate that mobilizing a thousand people will not be a problem."
Chen Chang listened and couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue. Wang Huan could summon thousands of people with just one word. This alone showed how huge the Wang family's connections and power were in Jiangling.
Wang Huan said to the man: "Thank you!"
In fact, she knew very well that the reason why she was able to mobilize so many people must have something to do with her parents. Without their acquiescence, it would not have been possible.
The Wang and Lou families have been family friends for a long time. Wang Huan and Lou Qingyi are similar in age and love each other as sisters. Wang Pin and Xiao Miaoying also like the smart and lovely Lou Qingyi very much. This kind of matter is a matter of life and death. It is the most normal thing to give a helping hand.
The leader then took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Wang Huan: "Miss, when I was leaving the city, I met a servant of the Lou family. He was carrying Miss Lou's portrait, but this time The man didn't have a horse to ride on, so the younger one was brought for him."
Wang Huan took it and unfolded it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
These eyebrows and expressions were so familiar to her, almost like a real person standing in front of her.
He has never seen such a painter before, it looks too similar.
"This...who painted this?"
The leading man scratched his head and said awkwardly: "The servant never mentioned it, and the young man never asked about it."
Zi Ling heard the conversation between the two, walked over and stepped closer to take a look: "Hey... this is not my house just now..."
"No, no... there's something wrong..."
"It looks a bit similar, but...but it's not..."
Wang Huan heard her talking to herself and asked, "Zi Ling, what are you talking about?"
Zi Ling waved her hands hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing..."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Chang, but the knot in his heart was still not completely resolved.
Chen Chang leaned against the carriage board and looked over. He had already guessed that someone must have copied Lou Qingyi's portrait. He didn't expect to draw it so quickly. It seemed that the shopkeeper of Bo Wenxuan was quite efficient. .
If you have the opportunity in the future, you can chat more with the shopkeeper, and you may be able to find some ways to make money.
The leading man added: "According to the servant, these portraits are being painted, and a batch will be sent out immediately after they are painted."
Wang Huan smiled faintly. With this painting, her chances of finding Lou Qingyi were as great as if she had followed the picture.
When a woman like Wang Huan with her own leadership qualities arrived, Chen Chang became the second-in-command of the search and rescue team. When Wang Huan rode on the horse, she looked like a heroic man. She rode the horse and walked around.
The whole team kept spinning, boosting morale and analyzing the situation. Although their faces looked a little haggard, they felt like they had endless strength.
Chen Chang felt warm in his heart.
Chen Chang didn't know that Wang Huan had galloped back all night on a fast horse. She had dined and slept in the open air all the way and almost never stopped. She wanted to take a shower and change clothes to have a rest after returning home.
After all, Wang Huan's body was not made of iron. It didn't take long before she swayed on the horse. Wei Chuanzheng, who was following her, hurriedly helped him dismount.
While sitting on Chen Chang's bullock cart, Wang Huan felt tiredness sweeping over her. She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.
Chen Chang gave her cushion to Wang Huan, not to mention her pity for her, but based on her concern for Lou Qingyi, she deserved such treatment.
Although it was just a small and careful move, there was still an inexplicable feeling in Wang Huan's tired heart, and her mind was in a state of confusion...
