Under the scorching sun, both the horses and the driver were a little sleepy, and the speed of the carriage also slowed down a lot.
At this moment, Wei Zijin, who had left the General's Mansion, was not sleepy and silently looked at the scenery outside the car.
It had only been a day since she left the General's Mansion, but she felt that it was a long time and wanted to come to Li's former residence as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to Wei's father, Wei Zijin asked Qiaoxiang and Huan'er to pack up and go on the road together. Qiaoxiang and Huan'er didn't expect that Wei Zijin would leave again just after returning to the general's mansion. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, they still obeyed her.
He was told to quickly pack his luggage.
Kong Wu, as Wei Zijin's bodyguard, also followed him. However, Wei's father was worried that Wei Zijin would not be well served by the maids around him when he was traveling far away, and he was worried about Wei Zijin's safety.
Several guards followed him.
So the group of people, together with the three carriages, left the general's mansion in a mighty manner.
Wei Zijin also did not expect that the old general Wei Ning would send so many people to travel with him. Looking at the posture of the three carriages, he secretly thought that when he arrived in Zhaojun, he might abandon the two following carriages to prevent her from investigating her elder brother.
News of whereabouts leaked!
Although the people sent by Father Wei were all trustworthy, they were not loyal to her after all, and she did not dare to take the risk!
"Miss, would you like a drink of water?" Qiao Xiang and Huan'er, who were taking a nap, were suddenly awakened by the shaking of the carriage. When they opened their eyes and saw that Wei Zijin was not asleep, they hurriedly picked up the kettle and asked.
Wei Zijin took the kettle and took a sip, then looked at the driver and Kong Wu who were driving the carriage, and said to Qiao Xiang: "You should also let them drink some water and take a rest. Driving under the scorching sun is a bit hard after all!"
Qiao Xiang nodded, quickly opened the curtain with a kettle and went out. The carriage happened to drive to the outskirts and stopped at this moment.
Huan'er also stuck out his head to take a look at the scenery in the suburbs. Seeing that the scenery outside was good, he said enthusiastically: "Miss, why don't we go down for a walk?"
Wei Zijin looked at the sky, shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, it's better to hurry up and get to the inn to rest early, so as not to encounter a heavy rain on the road if the weather changes!"
Huan'er tilted her head in confusion, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, it didn't look like it was going to rain heavily!
Under Wei Zijin's instructions, the coachman sped up. When the troika arrived at the inn, the weather suddenly changed and a storm suddenly hit. If they had not arrived at the inn in time, they would have been caught in the heavy rain.
"Miss, what a clever plan!" Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, clapped her hands and praised with a smile.
Wei Zijin just smiled and said nothing. Fortunately, they arrived early. Otherwise, if they had arrived late, all the rooms in the inn would be full!
After they were settled in their room, Wei Zijin went downstairs to have tea. He met a group of merchants who had come to the inn to take shelter from the rain. They were making a noise with the innkeeper because the guest rooms were full.
"These things of mine can't get wet. I'll double the amount of money they give you!" The merchant said, took out a banknote and slapped it hard in front of the innkeeper.
"I'm really sorry..." The old shopkeeper shook his head and kept bowing and apologizing. He refused to follow the merchant's statement and kick out the original guest because he was given more money.
The middle-aged businessman's eyes widened with anger, and he roared angrily: "Do you know where my batch of silks and satins are going to be sent? If these things get wet by the rain, there is no need to open your inn.
