Uncle Jiuhuang and Feng Qingchen have been back to Dongling for more than half a month. God has been very kind to them. It has not rained a day and the weather is good enough that they can go out to play at any time.
But the weather suddenly turned cloudy today, and it started to rain soon. Judging from the intensity of the rain, it was likely that it would not stop in a short time, and today was the day they expected the Valley Master and Guo Baoji to arrive in the imperial city.
"I don't know if it will delay the trip." Feng Qingchen felt a little uneasy.
The day was frighteningly gloomy, and the ink-like dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on his heart, heavy and breathless. Feng Qingchen always felt that something was about to happen, but he also felt that he was thinking too much.
In order to relieve the boredom in her heart, Feng Qingchen had no choice but to walk around the house to dispel the uneasiness in her heart.
"Guo Baoji has good martial arts skills. The King of Jiangnan and the King of Qing also know the dangers of this trip and will not let them go alone." Feng Qingchen kept comforting herself, but as time passed, the shadows of the Valley Master and Guo Baoji were not seen.
Feng Qingchen's uneasiness gradually grew.
Feng Qingchen sometimes stood and sometimes sat when someone walked by outside the house, so he got up and went to take a look, hoping that it was Guo Baoji and the owner of the valley.
The housekeeper was quite puzzled when he saw Feng Qingchen like this.
Girl, is this too boring?
The housekeeper took the opportunity to refill Feng Qingchen's tea and said in a low voice: "Girl, the young master and the others are awake. Why don't you bring the young master over?"
Playing with the young master is better than walking around the house.
"No need." Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes at the housekeeper angrily: "Is there any news about the people who went to pick up the Valley Master?"
"Not yet." It turned out that he was worried about this matter, and the housekeeper nodded understandingly: "Girl, don't worry. The weather is bad today, maybe they were delayed on the way."
With such a long distance, even if you drive very fast and travel day and night, it is normal for there to be an error of one or two days.
"I know." It's just that the uneasiness in my heart cannot be dispelled.
The arrival of the Valley Master and Guo Baoji was a fatal blow to the Xie family. It was impossible for the Xie family to do nothing.
Even the emperor can find out about this matter, and the Xie family will definitely know about it. But in the past half month, there has been no movement from the Xie family. This is definitely unusual. According to her understanding of the Xie family, the Xie family is definitely not sitting around waiting for death.
people.
Now that you know, what are you worried about?
The housekeeper looked at Feng Qingchen in confusion. Feng Qingchen was lost in his own thoughts at the moment and did not notice the housekeeper's eyes at all.
She waited from morning to noon and then to afternoon, but there was still no news. Feng Qingchen couldn't sit still anymore. She had to go out even if it was raining.
"Zuo An, come out, come out quickly." Feng Qingchen shouted to the room. Not long after, Zuo An appeared from the front entrance and looked at Feng Qingchen impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Looking at him, he seemed to have just woken up.
"Accompany me out of the city." Feng Qingchen apologized slightly. If she wasn't really worried, she didn't want to trouble Zuo An.
Zuo An rolled his eyelids, turned around and walked out.
Feng Qingchen stared at Zuo An's back with a question mark on his face...
Is this to accompany or not to accompany?
"Aren't you going to leave the city? Move quickly." Zuo An walked dozens of steps and found that no one was following him, so he had to stop and turned his back to Feng Qingchen.
"Here we come." Feng Qingchen hurriedly followed, asking the butler to lead the horse out, and then prepare a raincoat for going out.
Feng Qingchen and Zuo An put on black waterproof clothes and were about to go out, but they were blocked by Snow Wolf.
Snow Wolf roared in a low voice, and the two horses immediately tensed up and looked at Snow Wolf warily.
Snow Wolf glanced at the two horses arrogantly, then ran to Feng Qingchen, raised his head, and looked at Feng Qingchen pitifully. The wolf's eyes said: Take me with you.
The snow wolves were really pitiful. The wolf hair that Feng Qingchen had cut off finally grew back, but when it rained it all stuck to their bodies, making them look ugly.
Feng Qingchen knew that Snow Wolf had been bored to death during this period, and Snow Wolf didn't need her to protect him. If he wanted to go out, just follow him.
Snow Wolf howled happily, but the two horses were so frightened that they neighed and their hair stood on end. Feng Qingchen and Zuo An comforted them for a long time before the two horses calmed down.
Therefore, people on the street were lucky enough to see Feng Qingchen wandering around on a rainy day.
With the snow wolf following behind them, the two horses seemed to sense the danger and ran much faster than usual. Even with heavy rain, they took much less time than usual.
Feng Qingchen secretly thought that Xue Lang was so awesome that he must give Xue Lang extra food after returning.
It rained so heavily that there was not even a shadow of a person outside the city. Although their vision was blurred by the rain, Feng Qingchen and Zuo An still let their horses run freely without slowing down.
They are familiar with this part of the road and are not afraid of problems.
After running for half an hour in the rain and wind, even with waterproof coats, the two of them were still wet, and the horse's speed gradually slowed down.
Along the way, I occasionally saw one or two people taking shelter from the rain, but there was no sign of Guo Baoji and the valley owner, and there was no sign of a fight.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, still no one was seen, so Feng Qingchen hesitated.
The Uncertain Valley Master and Guo Baoji couldn't make it today. It was normal for such a long journey to take three to five days at night, let alone one day, but the uneasiness in her heart did not dissipate.
Feng Qingchen gritted his teeth and decided to move forward: "Left Bank, let's walk for another half hour. If we don't see anyone for half an hour, we will go back."
She had to leave everything to fate, and she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't go forward and take a look.
"Yeah." Zuo An did not retort.
Feng Qingchen is a woman who can come and go in the wind and rain, so he can't be inferior to a woman.
After setting a time for himself, Feng Qingchen stopped hesitating, temporarily put down the pressure in his heart, and moved forward all the way.
Half an hour later, Feng Qingchen and Zuo An still could not find Guo Baoji and the valley owner.
Feng Qingchen frowned and sighed secretly. It seemed that she thought too much and her work today was in vain.
Feng Qingchen pulled the reins and stopped the horse. Soon Zuo An also stopped beside her. Feng Qingchen apologized to Zuo An and said, "It was a waste of time for you to follow Zuo An today."
"It's okay." Zuo An said firmly.
On this rainy day, running in the rain for more than an hour would make anyone unhappy, but Feng Qingchen himself had suffered so much, what else could he do?
"Let's go back." She had already run away, and she had no interest in it anymore.
The two of them turned their horses and prepared to go back, but Snow Wolf stopped. He howled on the spot and ran forward. Halfway through, they found that Feng Qingchen had no way to go. He stopped for a moment on the way and faced Feng Qingchen.
Qingchen called out, and the voice seemed to be: "Follow me."
"What's wrong with Snow Wolf? Are you crazy?" Feng Qingchen looked at Snow Wolf going away and had no choice but to follow him.
She couldn't leave the snow wolf outside. It would be bad if the snow wolf outside was lost or in danger.
"trouble."
Zuo An said that he had never encountered such a troublesome woman and such an annoying wolf.
God forbid, that silly wolf better have something important to do, otherwise...
Haha... Zuo An smiled sadly.
He couldn't take it out on Feng Qingchen, so he could take it out on this stupid wolf...
