The carriage turned into the small road. Naturally, it could not run as fast as on the wide official road. In addition, it was dark and the road was difficult to walk. Leng Ning was worried about Jiu'er and Tianci in the car, so he slowed down the car and flew in front of the car.
He took off an angry wind lantern and held it in his hand, dropped it in front of the car, and led the carriage forward with one hand.
It was early summer at this time. The crops on both sides of the road were high, forming a gloomy scene under the moonlight. There were also roaring sounds in the night wind. Leng Ning was not afraid at all. He pulled the carriage all the way and carefully avoided it.
Follow the big ditches on the road.
Fortunately, the sky was clear, and with the moonlight and the light of the lanterns, the carriage made its way through the narrow paths between the crop fields and into the mountain road. The mountain road seemed smoother because there was less walking.
Leng Ning was about to sit back on the cab and speed up, but his ears sensitively picked up the faint sound of horse hooves coming from behind. It was obvious that the other party was not very familiar with this road and was not running very fast.
Despite this, Leng Ning still didn't dare to neglect and jumped onto the car's shaft. She hung the lantern back to its original place and ducked out of the bushes on the roadside.
There were bushes all around, and it was impossible to completely hide the carriage and horses. She could only hide herself first, and then see who it was so she could deal with it.
Holding his breath, Leng Ning hid behind the bushes. He hooked his left hand on the branches that were covering his eyes. His right hand had already taken out the dagger from his body and held it tightly in his palm.
In the grass, night insects hum.
The escort's horse had been trained quickly and had already stopped automatically. He looked around, thinking it was time to rest, and lowered his head to nibble on the tender grass that had grown up after the rain on the roadside.
The sound of hoofbeats gradually became closer, and the muscles in Leng Ning's body tightened little by little.
Soon, she heard that the person was not riding alone, but the sound of hoofbeats seemed to be that of two horses. Soon, there was a conversation, which further verified her speculation - there were indeed two people, and
Or a man and a woman.
"Brother Duan, are you sure this road is really walked by people?!"
"Sister Qingyan is saying that your brother Duan and I are not human?"
"Of course Brother Duan is not a human, he is a dragon among men, and the future..."
"Yan'er!" Duan Linfeng stopped Zhuge Qingyan's words in a deep voice, "Don't say this nonsense!"
"There's no one around here, what are you afraid of?!" Zhuge Qingyan flattened her mouth in disapproval, but she didn't continue talking, but quickly changed the topic, "Brother Duan has walked this road before?!"
