At noon, the sun was high in the sky, the wind was not strong, and the weather seemed extremely hot. However, on the official road, a carriage was still moving forward. In the carriage, Yun Yan was sitting in the center, closing his eyes and meditating.
, fine sweat seeped out from time to time on the forehead, Qiu Yuan and Bishui both fanned themselves with fans and wiped the sweat from time to time.
"The weather is really hot." Mu Zhaoyang complained softly. Although Bishui kept fanning her, it was inevitably hot when walking outside in the bright sun. I don't know how the person outside could bear it.
.
"Hey, can't you find a cooler place for us to rest first? Aren't you hot?" Mu Zhaoyang said to Ji Lengxue outside.
Ji Lengxue waved his riding whip and stared straight ahead. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. He said indifferently: "It's important to hurry up."
Mu Zhaoyang pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "How long will it take to arrive?"
Seeing a fast horse coming not far ahead, Ji Lengxue kept moving her hands and said indifferently: "It will take a few more cities to reach Xiangcheng." While speaking, he raised his hand and took the horse.
When the man on the fast horse passed the note, he nodded slightly at him, and the man on horseback turned the horse's head and drove away.
At the same time, in the carriage, Yun Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
"How many more seats do we have to pass!" Mu Zhaoyang said dissatisfiedly, but when Yun Yan opened her eyes, she couldn't help but said with concern, "Sister-in-law Six, you're awake, do you feel unwell?"
Yun Yan shook his head, smiled calmly, and looked at the car door curtain. At this time, Ji Lengxue suddenly opened the door curtain and looked at Yun Yan in the middle. "The latest news." As he said this, he handed over the information he had just received.
In her hands.
This action startled Mu Zhaoyang. She was sitting at the door and looking at Ji Lengxue at such a close distance made her heart panic. She quickly turned her head and looked away.
Yun Yan nodded slightly at Ji Lengxue, took the note, opened it and read it, but as she looked at it, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
On the side, Bishui and Qiu Yuan both saw the change in Yun Yan's expression and said quickly: "Miss, has something happened?"
Yun Yan handed the note to Qiu Yuan, looked at Ji Lengxue and said: "Without further delay, let's rush to Xiangcheng as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ji Lengxue nodded, but he couldn't help but look at Yun Yan one more time, with hesitation in his expression.
On the other hand, Qiu Yuan and Bishui read the contents on the note and couldn't help but exclaimed, "The Sixth Prince has been poisoned! This Yan Lingxiao is so despicable, and the East Vietnamese Army has now retreated to Fengyang City.
This...how could this happen?" After saying that, the two of them looked at Yun Yan again, "Miss, do we really want to go to Xiangcheng?"
Even Mu Zhaoyang came back to his senses and looked at Yun Yan.
"Mu Jingnan is not something we should worry about. Let's go to Xiangcheng first!" Yun Yan said in a deep voice. She opened the curtain and took a look outside. She could already see a city in front of her, and after a few more cities, she would almost be there.
Qiu Yuan and Bishui looked at each other, and their eyebrows became more confused. Is the young lady not worried about the Sixth Prince at all? Mu Zhaoyang said directly: "Sister-in-law Six, if you are so calm, does it mean that Brother Six will be fine?
"In her memory, Sixth Sister-in-law was not someone who would ignore Brother Sixth when he was in danger.
After hearing this, Yun Yan didn't speak. She looked outside. Under the scorching sun, the grass was still alive and well. A smile appeared on her lips. Fortunately, she had done that before, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
Ji Lengxue looked at Yun Yan's calm expression, finally closed the curtain and continued driving.
Mu Zhaoyang glanced at Yun Yan, suddenly opened the curtain, and sat outside the carriage. Looking at the man beside her, she whispered: "Hey, is my sixth brother really going to be okay?"
"I don't know." Ji Lengxue waved her riding whip and said calmly.
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on Mu Zhaoyang's face. They were traveling together these days, but he had always been very cold to her, but he always obeyed the sixth sister-in-law's words. Thinking about it, she was not happy.
"Hey, can't you talk to me properly?" Mu Zhaoyang muttered suddenly.
Ji Lengxue stared straight ahead and said indifferently: "I have already answered your question."
"You..." Mu Zhaoyang glared at Ji Lengxue, who said this! Can't he be more enthusiastic towards her? With a cold snort, she turned around and entered the carriage directly.
Feeling that the person next to her was leaving, Ji Lengxue lost her slightly relaxed look and continued on her way.
In the carriage, Yun Yan looked at Mu Zhaoyang's angry look and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's going on? Did you have a quarrel with Leng Xue?"
"That piece of wood!" Mu Zhaoyang pouted, Lao Gao said dissatisfiedly, "It's not like he doesn't know that others don't even have him in their hearts... and he's so stupid!"
After hearing this, Bishui and Qiuyuan's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but become nervous, and they both looked at Yunyan.
After hearing this, Yun Yan woke up and looked at Mu Zhaoyang suspiciously.
At this time, Bishui pulled Mu Zhaoyang and said with a smile: "Princess, don't be angry. Leng Xue has always been cold on the outside and warm on the heart. If you have any questions, just ask us directly."
"I..." Mu Zhaoyang looked at Bishui in surprise. Did she say she was angry?
"How about this? I'll tell you a few embarrassing things about Leng Xue. Next time Leng Xue makes you angry again, you can say this to him." Bishui continued.
As soon as these words came out, Mu Zhaoyang suddenly became interested and pulled Bishui to tell her about Leng Xue's embarrassing story.
Yun Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw this. This girl Zhaoyang has been getting close to Leng Xue recently, but according to Leng Xue's temperament, it may be difficult for them. But what she is most concerned about now is the war between the two armies and Jingnan
If I say I'm not worried about my safety, I'd be lying. I just hope I can get to Xiangcheng soon.
In the past day or two, we basically traveled day and night, resting only on the carriage, so the most tiring person was Ji Lengxue. He had been driving and barely slept a wink.
Yunyan opened the car curtain and looked at the sky outside. It was already dark. There was a small city in front of him. After passing this city, he could reach Xiangcheng.
"Let's rest in this small town tonight. Tomorrow we will go directly to Xiangcheng!" Yun Yan said to Ji Lengxue outside.
Ji Lengxue lowered her eyes and whispered, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine. The most important thing is you. You haven't had a good rest these days, and I think Zhaoyang and the others haven't eaten well or slept well recently. Let them eat something delicious tonight and then have a good sleep.
Yun Yan said with a smile.
When Mu Zhaoyang heard this, he couldn't help but said happily: "I can finally have a good night's sleep in peace and quiet."
"To tell you the truth, I'm really hungry. I've been eating my godmother all the time recently, and I've lost weight." Bishui also said.
Yun Yan shook her head slightly and looked at them funny, but it was true that she had not been eating well recently, and she unconsciously felt her lower abdomen. Fortunately, the child was still young and there was no major problem. She could just take some supplements and it would be fine.
After entering the city, a few people chose an inn and ordered some wine and food. Looking at the hot dishes and soup on the table, several people swallowed their saliva. After a while, a storm swept away the food on the table.
Most of it.
"Hiccup—" Bishui burped, shook his head and said, "I can't eat anymore."
Qiu Yuan took a sip of the soup and took a deep breath, "I'm so full, I'm almost exhausted."
Although Mu Zhaoyang always ate delicately, his stomach was bulging this time. The food he had eaten these past few days was really bad. They hadn't eaten hot food for several days, let alone soup.
Seeing the three of them struggling, Yun Yan shook his head helplessly and said to Ji Lengxue beside him: "I think the three of them will definitely not be able to sleep at night. Why don't we finish the meal?
Let's go for a walk and eat something."
Ji Lengxue nodded, "Okay."
After finishing the meal, the five people left the inn and walked along the street. This small town was quite prosperous. After all, it was adjacent to Xiangcheng, a city where business travelers came and went, and there were many businessmen passing by.
In a building ahead, girls stood at the door and shouted to the men passing by, their voices weak and boneless.
"Uncle, come on -"
"Our girls are the best - I guarantee your satisfaction..."
"Sir, come in, I will serve you well..."
…
Some girls even directly grabbed the men who were passing by the door. Some men went in directly, but some men waved their hands and avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Mu Zhaoyang suddenly smiled and said: "That should be the building. Brother Six used to go there often. My father talked to him a lot about this. I even asked him to take me with him.
But he refused no matter what...
"Ahem..." Bishui suddenly coughed and winked at Mu Zhaoyang.
Mu Zhaoyang looked at Bishui and said doubtfully: "Bishui, are you sick? It shouldn't be a cough after eating too much. Is it because you feel sick and want to vomit?"
Hearing this, Bishui couldn't help but raise her forehead. She glared at Mu Zhaoyang, wondering why she couldn't understand.
Yun Yan saw this in her eyes, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stingy." Looking at the building in front, business was booming, she said with a smile, "Anyway, we have nothing to do today, we might as well go over there.
Take a look." Speaking of which, she was also curious about what Mu Jingnan had been doing in the building before.
Seeing this, Qiu Yuan smiled at Yun Yan and said, "Miss, I don't mind, but the madam in that building may not let us in. Look at how we are dressed, how can we let women in this building?"
"Isn't there another profession called face-shou?" Yun Yan glanced at Qiu Yuan, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Ji Lengxue beside him.
After being reminded by Yun Yan, Mu Zhaoyang suddenly realized, "I see, if Leng Xue goes to be the leader, I guarantee that the other people in that building will not be able to survive."
"Nonsense!" Ji Lengxue frowned and said displeased.
"Lengxue, you're blushing - heehee -" Mu Zhaoyang leaned in front of Ji Lengxue and said with a smile.
Yun Yan stood aside but smiled and said nothing. It seemed that it was right to stay in this small town today. Everyone seemed to be very happy.
However, at this moment, a voice came from not far away.
"I said, you drunkard, you have no money, why do you come to our place? You have no money and you come to drink wine, what kind of place are you, Leshan Hall!" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded.
"How dare you, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this!" A man's voice suddenly rose.
Hearing this voice, Yun Yan's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately looked towards the door of the building in front of her, where an old madam was thrusting her waist, cursing and yelling at the man in front of her. There were many onlookers standing around.
, and then look at the man holding a wine bottle in his hand. He is swaying around and a little unsteady. Although he is unkempt, looking at his figure and listening to his voice, he looks like the same person. But if it is really him, how can he?
