After a day of repairs, everyone got on the newly built carriage in the early morning and continued heading north. What was unexpected was that through the fish-scale hollow windows on both sides of the new carriage, one could see that there were only five people in the carriage: including Bai Feng was driving, and the other four people were chatting in the car. The charming "Master Su" was not accompanying the little girl.
The wheels of the car were rolling, mixed with some lively laughter and laughter, as it drove on the endless official road, climbed over the hillside, passed through the flowing water, and finally left Yanzi Town.
"I don't know when I will meet Su Qing again, but I am very willing to become friends with him!" Zhao Kuo, who was sitting in the car, complained while watering the potted plant in his hand, which was thought-provoking.
Zhao Xiaomei, who was sitting in front of Zhao Kuo, saw that he had not let go of the potted plant since he started walking. She thought it was a rare thing, so she asked: "Zhao Kuo, what are you doing holding a potted plant all day long?"
"This is Miss Ajuan's potted plant. I'm just taking care of it for you," Zhao Kuo replied.
After hearing this, Ajuan replied with a slight smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, otherwise, before the poisonous flower seeds germinate, the slave family would have to hold it and serve it, which would be very tiring!"
Murong Yan, who was next to her, was holding a book left by Master Qian. Perhaps she happened to see the anecdotes recorded in the book, and she became curious, so she interrupted and asked, "Ah? What kind of thing is this that needs such careful care?" ?”
"Actually, this is the poison that Miss Mengdie gave me. She asked me to water the seeds every half a moment before they germinate, and at the same time, I have to watch them to protect them from the evil effects of dry wind. 'The infection..." Ajuan said and took out a small wooden box from the bag. After opening it, everyone saw something covered with yellow brocade. When they opened it, they found it was a butterfly chrysalis!
Ajuan covered the chrysalis with her hand, carefully showed it to the others, and said: "If you don't take care of it carefully, the seeds will not become flowers, and when the chrysalis becomes a butterfly, there will be no poisonous flower nectar for food. This way 'Golden Eyes', apart from being able to bite people, is just like an ordinary butterfly!"
"That's it!" Zhao Kuo sighed: "The poison of this Miao people is really magical. I have to be more careful when talking to Miss Ajuan from now on, hahaha..."
The little sister said calmly: "If you dare to bully others, I, Xiaomei Zhao, will be the first to come and trouble you!"
"Little sister, don't skirt around the topic!" Zhao Kuo said, "I just talked about Mr. Su, why are you so flustered? Brother Bai told me that he saw you and Su with his own eyes the night before yesterday. I don’t know what the young master is doing on the roof, he seems quite happy?”
The eldest daughter of the Zhao family was startled for a moment, looked at Murong Yan beside her, and then at Bai Feng who was riding the horse at the front of the carriage. She thought for a while and said: "I... I just said a few words casually... Brother, please ask me to be more polite to him. Besides, he seemed to be crying for some reason that night, so I was so merciful that I went to sit outside with him for a while!"
"Is there anything in this world that can make him shed tears?" Ajuan said in disbelief.
"Alas! You don't understand this!" Zhao Kuo responded: "A man! He always keeps the most important and unforgettable things in his heart. If he tells you, then he really puts your mind at ease.
.Don’t you think so? Brother Bai?”
Bai Feng, who had been driving the carriage and riding the horse just now, did not expect to be asked, so he hesitated and replied: "This... it should be..."
"Pfft!" Murong Yan covered her mouth and smiled, probably remembering something that happened on Qingliang Mountain before.
"So! Su Qing really likes you, sister!"
"Ah? But he didn't tell me anything?"
"You don't need to explain. We have no right to know other people's thoughts. Just know it yourself, hahahaha..."
No matter how the younger sister argued, she could not defeat Zhao Kuo, who was eloquent and good at winning people's hearts, and was ultimately defeated. Although in her heart, Su Qing was just a strange passerby, but there was always a feeling that soon
In the future, the two of them will meet again.
This journey is a long one, and if not carefully thought through, it will inevitably take a lot of wrong turns. In particular, the journey ahead may pass through Qihuang City, where the people who want to capture Murong Yan are hiding, so the planning of the journey becomes the next step.
The most important thing.
At noon, several people came to a trickling stream and were about to rest and recuperate. So Bai Feng stopped the carriage on the side of the road, untied the horses from the carriage, and led them to the river to drink water. The companions on the other side
They took the map they dug out of the book left by Qian Xi outside and sat around under the forest shade to discuss important matters.
This continent has a coast to the east, endless land and mountains to the west, and grasslands and Gobi to the north. The distinct climate has formed a variety of people and populations. The coastal areas are among the few that have not been trampled by the Xianbei civil strife.
Yes, there are several rich cities living there, including Jiangzhou City and Qihuang City.
"Now we need to bypass Qihuang City. Miss Murong is the target of the 'Great Eunuch' Mei Lin. We must not fall into the trap." Zhao Kuo pointed to a small place to the west of Qihuang City and said: "Let's take a long way to get there.
We will repair the "Chicken Cing Post" for a day or two, and then set off along the "Chicken Cing Post" to the "Xiahe Town" on the edge of the Yellow River to discuss the matter of crossing the river."
"What a long detour this road has to take! Do we have to spend the night on the road again?" Zhao Xiaomei said dissatisfied: "I don't want it!"
"But Miss Murong is so considerate... we can't take such unnecessary risks." Ajuan comforted her, "It's better to follow Young Master Zhao's suggestion."
Zhao Kuo said: "If you really don't want to spend the night outside, then we will drive all night and we should be able to reach Jimingyi at noon tomorrow. However, this will have to be hard work for Brother Bai. I really can't help but stay up at night..."
"Brother Feng, he probably won't refuse. After all, he wants to repair the sword as soon as possible, as well as his master's affairs..." Murong Yan said, stroking the little sister's hair, and said: "Actually,
No one wants to eat and sleep outside, so don’t worry, little sister.”
"Sister Murong, you are so kind!" Zhao Xiaomei sniffed and buried herself in the other person's arms.
After several discussions, Bai Feng also took good care of the horse, tied it to the carriage again, and was ready to set off at any time. Zhao Kuo told Bai Feng the plan, and it was approved. Zhao Kuo patted the other party on the shoulder and called to heaven.
He gave himself a good brother, and also left some lofty words, saying that when everyone arrives in Yuyi Town, he will not treat you badly.
After everyone had a hasty meal, they returned to their cars and started moving forward again.
