Jian'er did receive a reward, and Lu Ping did have her own destiny.
The carriage went all the way west, starting early and staying late, for three days. When it reached the foot of a big mountain, the driver said to her: "Madam, I can only take you over this mountain before you can go any further. You must turn back. There is something on the other side of the mountain.
It's a small town, and you can hire another carriage in the town. The younger one will help you hire the carriage, and you can just keep walking."
Lu Ping nodded and didn't say anything else. She just looked up at the mountain in front of her, feeling a little scared. There was a faint uneasiness that followed. This uneasiness didn't come from the mountain, but from the place behind her.
Hidden dangers of interruption.
The only thing she was worried about was that the people from the Lu family would catch up. Although there had been no movement in the past three days, it did not mean that there was still no movement behind. It would take more than half a month to go from the capital to Ji'an County no matter how fast it was, and the time was too long.
After a long time, she sighed secretly, half a month was enough for too many things to happen.
"Let's go quickly!" She lowered the curtain and told the coachman, "The winding mountain road is not easy to walk. We still have to put safety first. No matter how urgent it is, we are not in a hurry."
The coachman responded happily and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry, although the mountain road is not easy to walk, I have walked it many times and nothing will happen. This mountain is the only way to go west.
There are many people, and the road has been smoothed by the horses and carriages in front, so nothing will happen." After he finished speaking, he hit the horse and started winding up the mountain.
Lu Ping was sitting in the car, and the feeling of panic became more and more intense. She opened the car curtains and looked back. There was no special movement on the winding road, but occasionally birds and eagles flew up and interacted with each other.
Chase, she stared at it for a while, and it was thrilling.
She stopped looking and returned to the car, closed her eyes and calmed down as much as possible. The winding mountain road went upwards, and the car was slightly tilted backwards, with some bumps. Lu Ping was leaning on the back of the car, holding her hands
Li clutched his big baggage tightly, thinking that his future life would have to rely on the things packed in the baggage and the small amount of silver.
Although she is the eldest lady of the Lu family, she is not favored. In addition, she has been suffering from hidden illnesses in recent years, and her family has ignored her. She has received a lot of money every month, but the money is not enough for her to reward her servants.
Yes, I can't save much. I have only saved a total of more than 300 taels in these years, and gave part of it to Jian'er to make a living. All she can bring out now is just more than 100 taels of silver notes, and then some
Plus dozens of taels of silver. I hope there is a place for her in Jian County. I heard that the eldest young master and young lady of the Ren family are still there. Lu Ping thought that she did not go there because of the eldest young master of the Ren family.
Jian County, I just have a longing for that place. If we meet by chance, I hope the other party will not misunderstand it.
Lu Ping unknowingly thought of Ren Xitao, but she didn't know that for the sake of Xuan Tiange's marriage, Ren Xitao and Ren Xifeng, brother and sister, were riding back in a carriage desperately trying to get there. The Ren family's coachman had already rushed the carriage.
The fastest, and the two big cart horses were specially raised in General Pingnan's mansion, specifically for the use of these two young masters. But even so, Ren Xifeng still felt that the speed was too slow, and kept complaining: "
At this rate, by the time we get to the capital, Tiange will be almost at Gushu."
ren
If you don't want to give in, the worst case scenario is that we should chase further south. The Hi team won't go very fast. If we ride fast, we should be able to catch up."
Ren Xifeng complained to her brother with a bitter look on her face, "It's all your fault for insisting on taking me hunting in the mountains. If we can set off with Furong, we will definitely be able to catch up with Tiange's wedding."
"Why are you blaming me?" Ren Xitao felt aggrieved, "Don't you have to go? You've been arguing with me for two whole days. If I don't take you there, you still have to lift the roof off?"
Ren Xifeng was speechless and lowered her head in silence. The mountain road was bumpy, but when she thought that as long as she climbed over this mountain, there would be a flat road ahead, and she could reach the capital in three days at most, her mood improved. She asked Ren Xitao:
"Brother, what do you think I should give to Tiange?" After saying that, he sighed softly: "Well, I don't know if we can still catch up with her wedding team. Otherwise, let's not go back to the capital first.
, go directly to the south!"
Ren Xitao laughed at her: "I was just thinking about adding makeup to someone else. If you don't go back to the capital, what will you do with it? Could you buy something to give as a gift on the way? It's not as good as the collection at home."
"That's right." Ren Xifeng began to calculate what good things there were in General Pingnan's house. While calculating, he said, "I don't know if father has given me any gifts."
"How could I not give it to you! It's the princess's wedding, and our family has a good relationship with Prince Wenxuan's Palace. Not only will my father give it, but the gift will definitely not be too light." Ren Xitao opened the curtain while replying to his sister's words.
Looking out at the scenery, I heard the sound of horse hooves approaching in a hurry from the opposite side. The carriage was rushing in a hurry, and I could pass by their carriage in at most thirty steps.
He didn't think much about it. This was the only mountain road from the capital to the west, and there were many people walking on it. It was common to encounter one or two carriages. Just as he saw it, he came to a turn, and the coachman slowed down.
He also reminded them: "Master, Miss, the road ahead is narrow. We are riding in a two-horse carriage. We cannot run away. We must be careful and walk slowly."
The two owners in the car had no objection, but when they turned the corner, they happened to meet the carriage that Ren Xitao heard about. It was a very ordinary carriage, probably a rental one, so he didn't pay much attention to it and only reminded the coachman.
Be careful and try to give way to the other party, so as not to let the seemingly very thin carriage stumble and fall off the cliff.
The carriage of the Ren family took the initiative to walk outside, that is, on the edge of the cliff. The driver on the other side hugged the driver of the Ren family gratefully. The two carriages passed by each other and arrived safely. However, they never thought that at this moment,
, there was sudden movement from the direction of the capital facing the Ren family's carriage, the sound of countless horse hooves, which made the birds in the mountain flutter their wings in fright.
Ren Xitao heard that the sound must be that of at least ten horses. There was no sound of wheels, and it should be the kind of horse riding alone. He felt strange, and went back to look at the carriage that he had just passed, and saw that the carriage was inside
A dark-faced woman also lifted the curtain and looked back with a worried expression. It was obvious that she had also heard the loud sound of horse hooves, and she seemed to be very concerned about it. Ren Xitao even heard her urging the coachman to say:
"Quick! Let's go! Let's go!"
Just this sentence made Ren Xitao's whole body tremble! Why was this voice so familiar to him? He rarely dealt with women, and the most familiar female voices were only two, one was his mother's, and the other was his own.
My sister. But then one day suddenly, I also remembered the voice of another woman in my heart. Although they only exchanged a few words, they have not been forgotten to this day.
He subconsciously shouted to the driver: "Stop!" and then looked at the black-faced woman in surprise. It happened that the woman heard him shouting to stop and looked towards him in surprise. The two looked at each other.
, both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Lu Ping blackened her face, drew a mole, and even wore her hair in a woman's bun. If someone who didn't know her looked at her casually, she would be just an ordinary person.
Dark and not too stunning. But Ren Xitao was different. He had already fallen in love with Lu Ping when he was in the capital. Ren Xifeng abducted him to Ji'an County in order to prevent him from having any further contact with the Lu family. This was not the case in Ji'an.
It was summer as soon as Jun moved in, but he found that he couldn't get Lu Ping out of his mind at all.
Because of this, Ren Xitao recognized Lu Ping at a glance at this moment, and Lu Ping naturally recognized Ren Xitao.
But what can be done? Behind him, the pursuers of the Lu family have arrived. They were sent by Lu Song. There are more than a dozen of them, half of them are guards of the Lu family, and the other half are simply experts invited by Lu Song's money.
In order to capture Lu Ping, the Lu family spent a lot of money. In order to prevent Lu Ping from escaping, they specially agreed to pursue the robbery on this mountain road. One side was backed by a mountain wall and the other side was a cliff. Lu Ping had nowhere to run.
Seeing so many people approaching, Lu Ping's heart tightened, knowing that she might not be able to escape this disaster. Of course she did not believe that these people would harm her, because the Lu family still wanted her to be alive and intact.
She wanted to achieve the glory of her family, but she just didn't want to become a pawn of the Lu family. In this critical moment, she had to make a break as soon as possible.
She just didn't expect to meet Ren Xitao here. She looked at the person who also looked at her, and it didn't matter. Her heart suddenly moved, and an emotion she had never felt before suddenly came to her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
She couldn't tell what her emotions were, some were sad, some were sad, some were happy to see each other, and some were sad to say goodbye. As the pursuers arrived, Lu Ping reluctantly took her eyes away from Ren Xitao, and took the initiative to get out of the carriage.
Just then, the leader of the chase said loudly: "Miss, although you have blackened your face, we can still recognize you. Go back! The Prime Minister is still waiting for you at the house. Don't let the brothers do anything."
, that would be really offending." 22*2ge2,
As soon as these words came out, Ren Xifeng also reacted and said with some surprise: "Miss Xiangfu? That Lu Ping?" After saying that, he also went to the window to take a look.
Ren Xitao was squeezed by her and simply got up and got out of the car. Ren Xifeng was anxious, "Brother! What are you doing down here? This is none of our business, we have to rush back to the capital!"
The pursuing soldiers also noticed the carriage, but when they saw the word "Ren" written on the sign outside the carriage, some people recognized that it was the carriage belonging to General Pingnan's Mansion, so they did not take the initiative to embarrass themselves and pretended not to have seen it.
But at this time, Ren Xitao had already got off the carriage and ran towards Lu Ping.
When Lu Ping saw him coming, she couldn't help being startled, and she subconsciously took a few steps back. Until Ren Xitao stopped, there were still five or six steps between them, and she saw Lu Ping shaking her head slightly at him, with tears in her eyes and dark eyes.
The rouge could no longer cover up her beautiful face, which reminded Ren Xitao of the slight surprise in his heart when he first met Lu Ping in the Lu Mansion.
But Lu Ping hated her own face. She looked at Ren Xitao and then at the pursuers, and suddenly smiled, sadly. She said: "I have been a chess piece of the Lu family since I was born.
My family has not treated me sincerely for a day, and now they are forcing me to do something I don’t want to do and marry someone I don’t want to marry. My face is a disaster, and my life is also a disaster. In this case, then I will
My life is returned to the Lu family. From now on, I, Lu Ping, will no longer exist in the world." After saying that, he looked at Ren Xitao again and opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but no sound came out.
Ren Xitao saw Lu Ping's tears falling one by one. Just when he had the urge to go forward and help her dry them, he saw a look of absolute dismay on the face of the woman opposite, and her whole body turned violent.
The ground jumped up, and the direction of the jump was actually the cliff with a height of 10,000 feet.
