Chapter 1459 Weird Weather

The next morning, everyone washed up and had breakfast before setting off. Last night was the first time Zhu Yurao stayed overnight in the countryside. She had an unexpectedly good rest and was very energetic. She didn't know how to ride a horse, but she didn't want to be bored in the carriage. She sat at the front of the car and was curious.

Looking at the scenery along the way, shouting and screaming from time to time, the image in the palace was completely different from that of the past, which made Chang Yu sigh with emotion. How many people with depression have been raised in captivity in the majestic imperial city from ancient times to the present? It is a dog that has been shut down all year round.

People can also be depressed inside.

Zhu Yuluo's identity is no longer a secret. It has been the third day since he left the capital. If he had stayed in the car and not left, maybe his identity could still be hidden. Now nearly a hundred guards know that there is not only a prince but also a princess in the team, but

No one said anything, and they still called the two brothers eldest son and second son.

The second young master made a fuss all the way out of the capital for the first time. The first young master was so playful that he followed Kuang Ren and a group of guards, sometimes galloping on horseback to race, and sometimes hunting with bows drawn. In just three days, it had become

Wild child.

At this time, Kuang Ren and Wang Zhengnan were invited to compete in archery. Kuang Ren was recognized as an expert archer and was favored by Chang Yu to take him with him because of his miraculous archery skills. Wang Zhengnan was known as the best among the younger generation for his high martial arts skills.

A top master, but few people know that he is also a master of archery.

This is recorded in historical records. The epitaph written by Huang Zongxi for him contains the record that when he was in the army, "If he was defeated by seven arrows, he would make up for the commander-in-chief of Linshan". Chang Yu also sent people to Yuyao to find him based on this.

Chang Yu and nearly a hundred of his subordinates were all good at martial arts. When they heard the masters competing, they naturally cheered and responded. Seeing the two men's amazing skills, they cheered endlessly. Zhu Cixiang even kept shouting: "It's amazing, it's amazing."

However, Zhu Ainao was not interested in this: "Is that young man named Wang very powerful?" Song Luoyu beside him nodded: "Very powerful, he is a top master in the world, and he can even be among the top five in the Dongchang Yamen.

”.

Zhu Ailao let out an ooh, "Although your yamen is considered to be the best in the world, your yamen can only be ranked in the top five. Doesn't that mean that the masters in your yamen are even more powerful?"

"There are indeed masters at the yamen level." Song Luoyu pointed at Jiang Fa beside Chang Yu: "Second Young Master, look at that inconspicuous skinny old man, he is one of them."

This surprised Zhu Ailao: "He is so thin...can he beat Chang Yu? I once heard that Chang Yu's martial arts is said to be the best in the imperial city. Can he be ranked first in your Yamen?"

"Well," Song Luoyu scratched his head, "A comparison of skills and a battle of life and death are two completely different things. If it's a comparison of skills, then the Governor can be in the top five, but if it's a matter of life and death, I'll keep third place in the second place."

"Who is the most powerful person in Dongchang?" Zhu Yuyao's curiosity was finally aroused, and a trace of pride appeared on Song Luoyu's face: "Wuzhong".

Wuzhong? Zhu Aao frowned: "This name is a bit familiar."

"Your Highness, you must be familiar with him. He is the one in Wuzhong who held off nearly a hundred Tatars alone and defended the city gate..." Song Luoyu's eyes flashed, and Zhu Ayao also realized: "It turns out it was him. Father... once praised him as a great Ming Dynasty man."

The first loyal and brave..."

The masters competed with each other naturally and did not stop to kill the target. They rushed on the road and showed off their skills, causing everyone to cheer and cheer. Chang Yu was also amazed. Although his archery skills were moderate, his skills were not as good as Kuang's and his tenacity was not as good as Wang Zhengnan's, but in his heart

Deep down, I still feel that the guy named Chi Qingshi under Luo Hu is powerful, and he can be said to have miraculous skills.

Everyone was watching the excitement, but Jiang Fa looked back frequently. He always had a strange feeling in his heart that he was being followed. However, there were few people on the official road going east. If there were people following him, they would be easily caught.

A person who found something but couldn't see anything suspicious.

They had also encountered several groups of travelers but had not found any flaws, but Jiang Fa was convinced that this one must be following them in the dark. He believed in his many years of experience in the world and his sixth sense.

Chang Yu noticed something strange about him and patted Jiang Fa on the shoulder: "Master Jiang, don't worry, we are on guard. If he doesn't come, he will be captured and killed if he does."

As he said that, he rode up to Zhu Yuluo's carriage and said, "Ah Jiu, you'd better stay in the carriage for the past two days..."

"What did you call me?" Zhu Aao frowned: "Ajiu?"

Uh... Okay, the legend of Chang Yu's later one-armed nun was poisoned, ahem: "Code name, Ah Jiu is your code name, to cover up people's ears."

Oh, girls are always easy to fool.

The speed was a little faster that day, and by the evening we had entered Lulong County. The temperature dropped sharply, and there was faint snow foam flying in the sky. Zhu Yuyao stretched out her hand curiously: "Is it snowing?"

"This shouldn't be considered snow, it's often like this in the mountains in winter," Song Luoyu said softly from the side. Not far away, Chang Yu ordered a rush to enter Lulong County for repairs before the city gate closed.

However, things didn't go as planned. Zhu Yuluo's carriage suddenly broke down. The attendants hurriedly repaired it. Chang Yu was speechless. It seemed that although the royal BMW was glamorous, it was far less solid than his own Jetta.

After all the busy work, it was already dark. Kuang Ren asked the villagers on the roadside about the distance and learned that it was still nearly thirty miles away from Lulong County. Everyone knew that they could not enter the city before the city closed anyway.

But the eunuch of Dongchang, who can even open the four or nine gates in the capital, can naturally open the small town on the border. Of course, under normal circumstances, Chang Yu would not be so troublesome. If you want to check your waist card, you have to report it to each level, and then the city

All the officials, big and small, were coming to see me, but there was no reason to bother so many people just to get a night's sleep.

But now there are a prince and a princess around. Not to mention the inconvenience for the princess to stay out at night. Even this area is not peaceful. Lulong County is located at the foot of the Great Wall at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. It is a mountainous area. There are few people in the mountainous area these days and bandits are rampant. Chang Yu

Once when I was out of seclusion, I was ambushed by a group of bandits in this area.

On normal days, he wouldn't be afraid, but with the prince and princess, he was always worried that something might go wrong.

"It's okay, we can camp outside if we can't enter the city. I think camping is more interesting than staying in an inn." Zhu Yuyao called Chang Yu and said softly. Chang Yu sighed helplessly, like the strange circle between the poor and the rich.

Poor people want to eat in restaurants, rich people like food stalls, poor people want to stay in star-rated hotels, and rich people like farmhouses...it's all about the atmosphere.

"Camping outside is fun, but there are bandits here in the mountainous area. Wouldn't you be afraid if they kidnapped you and made you the wife of Yazhai?" Chang Yu joked. Zhu Ayao had never heard anyone say such a thing to her since she was a child.

His face suddenly turned red: "Are you planning to beat me?"

Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and Zhu Nuaao said again: "With you here, no thief dares to come."

"No, Miss Ninth, please don't flatter me like this." Chang Yu touched his head: "How many people are concerned about this head, and right now there are people secretly watching."

"Don't scare me." Zhu Yulao looked around at the dark surroundings and couldn't help but shuddered, but she smiled again in the blink of an eye, "You can kill thousands of troops and horses, but you still care about a few thieves? You

You just want to scare me."

Zhu Cixiang, who was chatting with the Chen brothers at the front of the team, looked back and saw Chang Yu riding a horse and following Zhu Yu's car. The little girl stuck her head out and chattered something. She was very puzzled. Kun Xing was cold by nature and didn't like to talk.

He likes to be close to others, but he talks a lot when he sees Chang Yu. Hey, Chang Yu seems to have magic power about him.

"Hey, is it snowing?" Zhu Cixiang felt a chill on his face and looked up. White snow was fluttering under the light of the fire. He couldn't help but cheered immediately: "Hey, it's really snowing, Kun... Ah Jiu, it's snowing."

".

All the guards were speechless. They had never seen snow fall, but they still thought it was magical. It was only the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Yeah, it's really snowing." As soon as Zhu Yuluo got out of the car, Chang Yu reached out and pushed her in: "I told you, you can't come out."

"I just want to see the snow," Zhu Ya'ao pouted, a little unhappy.

"What's so good about snow? I've never seen it before." Chang Yu said casually, but he felt it was strange in his heart. At this time, later generations also heard that it snowed in mountainous areas such as Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, or Shanxi, but never heard of it in the Shanhaiguan area.

It had snowed at this time, but then I thought about it, now is the Little Ice Age, winter has come early and the climate is changing, anything is possible.

"Has it snowed at this time in Beijing in previous years?" Chang Yu was curious, and Zhu Aa thought for a moment: "It happened when I was a child, but it hasn't snowed so early in recent years."

Chang Yu raised his eyes and looked around. It was pitch black in the wilderness, and the torches were flickering brightly and dimly due to the mountain wind. He then ordered to rush into the city to avoid the wind and snow.

Little did I know it was too late.

Originally it was just a sudden snowstorm before walking two miles, and the wind was so strong that people and horses could not open their eyes. This was something Chang Yu did not expect. It was also the first time he experienced such a snowy day in person on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

sky.

Everyone was shocked by the rare weather. Zhu Cixiang, who was still very excited at first, finally couldn't bear the cold and got into the car.

Jiang Fa rode his horse to Chang Yu's side and whispered: "If this horrible weather continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter the city tonight, so we'd better find a sheltered place to camp."

"No one knows whether it will stop for a while or continue to rain heavily. It would be best to walk around and see if we can encounter villages and towns." Chang Yu sighed. Although the temperature was cold, it was still bearable. The main reason was that the wind was too strong and the snow was too fast and he couldn't open his eyes.

Even when I opened my eyes, it was completely white and I couldn't see the road.

"It seems like something is going to happen on the road this time." After walking for a long time, the wind and snow continued to get worse and worse. Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "What is supposed to come will eventually come."

"Sir, you are saying...that the thief will take advantage of this day to take action?" Jiang Fa looked wary.

"I'm afraid this is the best opportunity along the way." Chang Yu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "But the weather is a double-edged sword. The wind and snow will not only blind our eyes."

Kuang Ren came to report. He could vaguely see lights in front of him, and some villagers must have sent people to investigate. Chang Yu was silent for a while and ordered to stop and warn. The lights that can be seen in such a heavy snowstorm are definitely not small, but the village Tianyi these days

Almost all the black people went to bed, and even some lights would not spread far, let alone in this weather.

So he concluded that the place with lights was definitely not a village.

As expected, not many of the guards who knew how to explore the road reported back that there was a group of caravans camping in front of them, and the light was the bonfire of their camp.

Chang Yu and Jiang Fa looked at each other, and some words did not need to be said, they were understood with just one look.
