I'll leave the harsh words here for now, but now that I'm here, I have to do something to collect some interest before I can go back. There's no reason to go back empty-handed after being robbed by bandits.
Besides, seeing that the fat sheep would arrive at the place where they expected to ambush in two days, how could they miss such a good opportunity.
After resting in the cave for a day, they marched quickly to the ambush site the next day.
Prince Qian's team walked in the rain for two days in the mountains, and then the weather gradually cleared.
Both the master in the carriage and the young servants escorting the team were relieved. It was difficult to travel on the mountain road in the rain, and two days was their limit.
If we keep going like this one step at a time, if the people are not scrapped, how many horses and carriages will be scrapped?
Especially where there are mud pits on the road, the carriage can't get through it, so it has to be pushed by manpower. If the manpower is limited, pushing like this for a long time is a time when people can't bear it.
Moreover, sometimes when encountering landslides, guards and strong men have to act as road builders.
At noon, we found a slightly flat mountain col to rest.
"Princess, after bypassing the mountain in front, our team has basically left the Nanling Mountains. There are many villages on the periphery, and the road conditions are much better than in the mountains."
Mr. Zhang has now developed a habit of jumping off the carriage and walking to the front of the team whenever it is time for him to rest and join in the fun with Xia Jing.
Mr. Yan is just the opposite, a man who likes to be quiet.
The air in the mountains was fresh and fresh. Xia Jing took a deep breath and looked at the mountains not far away. "Looking at the mountains is like running to death. This mountain looks not far away. If you really start walking, you don't know how long it will take to get around it."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "About three days."
Wang Jiaqian, who was not far ahead, saw Mr. Zhang's mean smile and thought it was really unsightly.
"This old man's old face is wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. He's really not afraid of hurting other people's eyes!"
With that said, he helped Anu get out of Wang's car and asked people to move the coffee table and tea sets out of the car.
"Sir, are you coming over to make tea and enjoy the flowers together?"
Mr. Zhang looked around and saw that there were indeed many azaleas vying to bloom. "The prince warmly invited me. I was flattered, so I accompanied the prince to enjoy the splendor of the mountain flowers with a bright face."
Anu poured two cups of tea that had been brewed in advance.
King Qian looked at Xia Jing, who was smiling and talking to Yan Yan just now, "Won't you come over, Princess?"
Xia Jing took the coarse cloth scarf handed over by Hongmei and tied up her hair. After hearing this, she just glanced at him lightly and said, "You are in a good mood. I won't disturb you. I will take Xiaowu and the others to the mountain."
Find some ingredients."
As soon as she said this, King Qian noticed her clothes. The cuffs were tied tightly, the skirt was shorter than usual, and she was wearing a pair of deerskin boots instead of the usual embroidered soft-soled shoes.
This neat outfit is obviously prepared for going up the mountain.
"It's not safe to go up the mountain in this kind of weather, and I don't lack food or clothing for you, so who can look like this miserable peasant woman?"
It was a worried expression, but the person who said it was so deserving of a beating!
Xia Jing raised her head provocatively, "If you have the ability, don't eat the ingredients I will bring back later!"
The Nanling Mountains are rich in species, which is no worse than the mountains along the way. Moreover, this area has not been affected by drought, and the animals and plants in the mountains are very rich.
King Qian was furious, ". Treat your good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs. Be careful and break your dog's legs!"
However, I only dared to whisper the last sentence in a low voice, otherwise the female evil star would have to skin him if she heard it.
Xia Jing now has spiritual powers. No matter how quiet his voice is, she still hears it in her ears, but she doesn't want to argue with him.
Li Chengmu rushed over, "Mother, are you going to take your son up the mountain to hunt rabbits?"
Xia Jing deliberately frightened him, "How do you know it's a rabbit? What if it's a wolf?"
Li Chengmu laughed loudly after hearing this, "Haha, concubine, please don't scare me. I have been sleeping in the mountains for the past few days. Not to mention wolves in the middle of the night, I have not even heard a dog barking. It can be seen that there are no wolves in this mountain."
Kind of animal."
"If you're not afraid, then let's go."
Xia Jing left the two maids in the camp and planned to take a few guards with her to wander around the mountain.
Of course, there are also many slaves picking wild vegetables around the camp.
"Concubine, fifth brother, wait for me!"
The group of people hadn't gone far when the fourth brother, Li Chengyi, held a bow in his hand and carried arrow feathers on his back and chased after them.
Several people stopped and looked back at him.
Xia Jing joked: "I've had enough of spending time with my beautiful concubine during this period. Are you willing to move around?"
"Haha, my son doesn't know that his mother-in-law is so humorous."
Li Chengyi ran to Xia Jing and shook his hair confidently.
Xia Jing looked around from head to toe and sighed in her heart, Li Jingfu's genes are still good, and all the sons in the family are good-looking, so why did he gain weight all over himself?
Li Chengyi raised the bow in his hand, "How is it? Does your son have the demeanor of a military general?"
Xia Jing turned around and continued walking up the mountain. After hearing his words, she sneered, "I don't know if you have the style of a military commander, but to be honest, I'm a little worried about whether your arm strength can draw this bow? Don't encounter danger on the mountain.
If you can't even draw the bow, then it will be a small matter of humiliation, but a big matter of loss of life!"
Li Chengyi is a dandy among dandies in the capital. If you ask him which flower house girl in the capital has the most charm, he can tell you three days and three nights.
But Xia Jing really didn't think much of him when he went hunting in the mountains.
"Looking at what my mother and concubine said, we are not going up the mountain to explore a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. Besides, there are guards around us." Li Chengyi had a sly expression on his face. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow him up the mountain. He felt a little regretful and impulsive.
Xia Jing smiled and shook her head, "Boy, don't put your life in the hands of others at any time. It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."
Li Chengyi laughed in his heart, noble people like them were born to enjoy a happy life, and the guards were born to protect their masters.
If you rely on yourself for everything, you won't die of exhaustion.
Xia Jing saw the disdain in this boy's eyes and obviously disapproved of her words.
Then he said casually: "How about you train with Xiao Wu every day from now on?"
"Ouch!" Li Chengyi wailed, "Mother, please spare me. My son can't compare with Xiaowu. He is single and can get up whenever he wants. But I am different. I have warm and fragrant soft jade in my bed every day.
Huai, how can I get up in the morning?"
"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense!" Li Chengmu's handsome face turned red with embarrassment.
However, the warm-fragrant nephrite mentioned by his fourth brother aroused his curiosity.
Xia Jing had no idea that her own casual words aroused her son's curiosity about the opposite sex.
When she heard the fourth boy's refusal, she didn't force it. She just made a suggestion. If he didn't accept it, she would leave it at that.
In the mountains and forests, the grass and trees have grown young leaves and sprouted new branches. It is a prosperous scene, which can relieve the boring mood and make people feel happy.
"I'll strangle it! The four-legged snake!"
Several people were observing the surrounding environment, and suddenly a cry of surprise startled everyone.
