It takes about two days to go from Linyang City to Qingyan City, a small town on the northern border. A caravan escorting goods usually takes two or even three times that time, not including emergencies encountered on the road, such as heavy rain.
Or the mountain road cannot be walked or something like that.
Murong Villa's caravan uses Mongolian horses with strong limbs, thick bodies and well-developed tendons. Mongolian horses are one of the most durable breeds of all horse breeds and have extremely strong vitality. In addition to Mongolian horses, there are some
The smaller southwestern horses are the best at climbing mountains and ridges despite their small size. They can also walk for a long time while carrying goods.
The number of people in the caravan this time is not large, but all of them are strong-backed, with a long knife on their waist, calm expressions, and steady steps. At first glance, they are Lianjiazi who have been training for many years. The last car of the caravan is a car
Simple carriages and carriages made of elm wood are always very practical and extremely stable for long journeys.
This group of people traveled like this for two days. The first night was spent on the edge of the woods. During the day, they missed the town where they could stay overnight because they were hiding from the rain. The second night, they were able to stay in a small town.
Rested in an inn in the town.
"Master Yun, please go upstairs and rest first. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning. Following our footsteps, we will be able to reach Qingyan City in the afternoon of tomorrow at most." The man who spoke was Su Yan, one of the hall masters of Murong Villa.
Holding a long sword, he has the tone of a knight-errant. No one would have thought that such a swordsman-like figure would be the master of Murong Villa.
"Here comes Hall Master Lao Su." Liu Yun, who was dressed in men's clothing, nodded slightly and turned around with a calm expression. Wan Qing and Zi Qian followed her left and right, sending her upstairs to rest.
Su Yan frowned slightly and looked at Liu Yun's leaving figure. He actually did not know Liu Yun's identity. Deputy Villa Master Qin specifically told him to escort Mr. Yun all the way to Qingyan City and not to let her get hurt at all.
He had some doubts in his mind. It was really strange that he was obviously a girl, but she was dressed in men's clothes and went all the way to the border where the war was going on.
"Master, who is Young Master Yun, and why is the master so polite to him?" Su Yan's bodyguard came over and asked curiously.
"I don't know." Su Yan shook his head. He knew that there were many things that he shouldn't be curious about, so he shouldn't be curious. However, Master Qin said that all the horses in these cars were given to him by Mr. Yun. His magnanimity alone
He was impressed by his kindness. He glanced around and ordered his subordinates: "Send people to take turns to look after the goods. We will definitely attract attention when we come here. Even if we use the sign of Murong Villa, those in the court may not
I won’t take any risks.”
"Yes, I understand." The man nodded. They all knew that what this truckload was escorting was not just medicinal materials, but the lives of the people, so they speeded up their journey in order to reach the border as soon as possible.
, to save the people suffering from the plague.
Su Yan looked up at the wing room on the second floor again, then turned to go to the warehouse to check.
Liu Yun and the three of them lived in a large room, and there were two bedrooms after entering through the door. Liu Yun originally meant that she and Wan Qing would live in the same room, but there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, and Wan Qing could not live with her at all.
Liu Yun slept on the same bed, and Zi Qian told Wan Qing to sleep in another room. There was a pit in the front hall, and he could just sleep on the pit. It would also be convenient for protecting the young lady. Liu Yun couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to agree.
"Master, the inn here is simple and it is not safe to take a bath. I asked the waiter to bring hot water. I will wipe the master's body and apply some ointment. The master has a delicate body. I am afraid it will be uncomfortable after being so bumpy for two days. It's tight." As Wan Qing spoke, he had already wrung out the soft handkerchief and wiped Liu Yun's body.
When she was away from home, she was not allowed to call her, but Wan Qing was not used to calling her master, so he simply called her master.
"Don't be too busy. Get some rest early. You have to go on the road tomorrow morning." Liu Yun lay on the bed, almost feeling drowsy as soon as he touched the pillow.
She always slept lightly, let alone outside. She and Wan Qing were sleeping in the carriage. She almost never fell asleep. She just closed her eyes and fell asleep. Although she knew that there was someone around her to protect her, she did not dare to fall asleep deeply.
I don't know if she was too tired, but she didn't calm down and think about how she could impulsively follow the caravan to the north. Originally, she wanted Qin Yi to send someone to send Malian to the north. The Mu family can just take the credit. Shen Yi's entanglement is one of the reasons. As long as she is in Linyang City, the Mu family will not be able to escape the bad luck. Since the old god Qin Yi is here asking her to wait, then she might as well solve this problem Throw it back and let him deal with it.
"Master, this slave has been holding back for two days, and finally wants to ask, Master, to the young Marquis..." Wan Qing couldn't help asking while applying ointment to her.
Liuyun was already drowsy. Suddenly, he heard someone mention Dongfang Ye. His eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not open them. She was the best at pretending to be stupid, not to mention that she really had no strength now.
"Originally, I thought the master just wanted to leave Linyang City and find a place to hide for a while. I didn't expect that the master had such an idea. If I had known that the master was going to the border town, I would have made more preparations. So How can the master's body be able to eat when he is traveling in the open air?" Wan Qing became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, chattering endlessly, and did not even notice that his master had already fallen asleep.
After a long time, Wan Qing noticed Liu Yun's lingering breath. She couldn't help but sigh and swept the quilt aside with disgust. It was not as rough as the quilt in the servant's room in the Mu Mansion. She walked to the side and put the big baggage on it. Open it, take out a thin blanket and cover Liu Yun, then cover it with the quilt from the inn.
"I hope the young marquis can understand the hard work that the young lady has gone through." Wan Qing sighed heavily and quietly exited the room.
When Qing appeared in Zi Qian's room that night, he was sitting at the table wiping his sword. When he saw her entering the room, he asked in a low voice: "Master, is he asleep?"
"Well, I haven't slept for almost two days, and I'm sleeping soundly now." Wan Qing nodded and put the beef and porridge in his hands on the table, "I just asked the waiter for some food, you eat first. Some, I'll go to the kitchen later to see what else there is, and I'll get some for the master when she wakes up."
"Do you want to tell the young master?" Ziqian took a bite of beef in silence and then asked.
"Did you leave any marks along the way?" Wan Qing frowned, thinking that the young master should already know the news of the young lady's departure, and he was still unsure how to get angry. He hoped that he would not offend Qianlan.
"I kept it." Zi Qian nodded. He was riding beside the carriage, so it was easy to leave a mark.
"The young master's people will keep up." Wan Qing rubbed his forehead, feeling tired after relaxing.
"You should go and have some rest. We still have two days to go to Qingyan." Zi Qian was a person with a background in martial arts after all, so he didn't seem very tired after two days of trekking.
Wan Qing held her head, nodded randomly, and whispered: "Well, you should also go to bed early."
After Ziqian lowered his head and took another bite of beef, he found that Wan Qing, who was sitting next to him, had fallen asleep with his head propped up. He sighed, walked over and stretched out his hands to pick her up. Wan Qing was probably really tired, so
He didn't wake up despite the big movement. Instead, he let out a sigh, moved his body, and continued to sleep deeply with his little face on his chest.
He carried her into another bedroom and carefully put her on the bed. He was slightly startled when he looked at her sleeping face as pure as a baby. He didn't expect that the girl who was like a housekeeper during the day fell asleep.
She is so well-behaved, he has never looked at her so seriously as he does now, with her palm-sized face, skin that can be broken by blows, delicate facial features, curved eyebrows, small nose, and slightly opened cherry lips, revealing a hint of love.
The stock is fresh and elegant.
He suddenly came back to his senses, frowned tightly, looked away uncomfortably, pulled the quilt on the side to cover her, stood up straight and was about to leave the room, but couldn't help but look back at her.
, she is not the most beautiful, especially next to the stunning young lady, but there is a beauty about her that makes him unable to take his eyes away.
He clenched his fists, turned around and left the bedroom, walked to the cave and lay down, closing his eyes. What came to his mind was the beautiful sleeping face in the late Qing Dynasty. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
, he didn’t understand why he became so strange, and he didn’t understand why as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the defenseless sleeping face just now.
What he didn't know was that the woman who was supposed to be sleeping soundly in the bedroom opened her eyes after he left. There was a cunning look in her eyes. She turned her head carefully and looked out through the gap in the unclosed door to see the man.
After falling asleep and getting up again, I couldn't help but curl up the corner of my mouth.
Wan Qing liked Zi Qian, but that piece of wood was real wood. Even his younger brother Zi Yuan and Qian Lan, who was most confused about the style, saw Ni Duan, but this guy didn't know anything. Wan Qing was not
She was such a reserved woman, but she couldn't do it even if she was asked to confess her love. What's more, Zi Qian didn't like her, or rather, Zi Qian had never liked anyone. Maybe he didn't understand feelings at all.
When they went out this time, Wan Qing secretly felt that it was the opportunity that the young lady deliberately created for them. Otherwise, why would she take her and Ziqian with her when no one else would? Although the young lady didn't say anything, she knew that their young lady had always been smart.
It was certain that Xiao Si could not escape his discerning eye, not to mention that she had never thought of hiding it.
It's just that the man outside the door is too stupid. She probably doesn't think about anything else because of her concern for him. She is really worried that she will end up like Zi Yuan teased, and force her to tie him up and go to the bridal chamber.
.Thinking of Ziyuan's teasing gaze when she went out this time, Wan Qing felt a headache. If she couldn't get Ziqian to wake up to such a great opportunity, she really planned to consider letting the lady make the decision to split the wood and use it as firewood.
.
However, seeing his confused look, Wan Qing suddenly felt that he was still in trouble. At least he should have felt it when he hugged her just now, right?
