Hu Xiaotian just now heard a commotion outside, noisy footsteps, and not long after someone knocked on the door. Murong Feiyan only realized a very serious problem after the knock on the door. How to explain their lonely man now?
The problem of widows living in the same room, it's okay if others don't know them. Those four servants, my God, why are I so confused? I actually let this guy come in, my reputation for innocence will be over now! She motioned to Hu Xiaotian
He went to hide behind the curtain, but Hu Xiaotian remained indifferent. When he heard the knock on the door, he blinked hard at her and motioned for her to open the door.
Murong Feiyan bit her lips. When things came to a close, she had no choice but to let nature take its course. She came to the door and opened the latch. There were more than a dozen guards from the post house standing outside. They shouted loudly: "Come out, all of them come out.
!”
Murong Feiyan said: "Why disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night?"
One of the guards said: "There are snitches sneaking in. Come out and search thoroughly!"
Hu Xiaotian also walked out. He and Murong Feiyan came to the courtyard one after another, and found that Murong Feiyan had a dark red cloak on her body, probably to cover up the rip in the robe on her back.
The four servants also walked out sleepily. At first they were panicked when they saw that Hu Xiaotian was not there. But when they went out and saw Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan together, they immediately understood that the young master is the young master after all.
His ability to pick up girls is really incredible. He already picked up girls on the first day he came out. Liang Dazhuang looked at Murong Feiyan with a grin on his face and said to himself that Murong Feiyan usually pretends to be a chaste and virtuous girl, but he has been having sex with us for a long time.
The young master has had an affair for a long time and they all live in the same room. No wonder the young master obeys her orders. It's strange. Why didn't I hear any sound just now? I was so sleepy.
The group of guards searched the room, and then searched each person one by one. When they came to Murong Feiyan, they wanted her to raise her hands. Murong Feiyan said angrily: "What are you doing? We have the official seal of the clerk appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
If you do this, believe it or not, we will report it to the imperial court and punish you for the crime of disrespect!"
A strange voice came: "What a loud tone, I want to see how you deal with my crime of disrespect?" But it was the Yi Cheng who arrived.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked Yi Cheng, and had the urge to punch him twice in the face, but now he was on his territory after all, and his official rank was too low. He coughed and said:
"Men and women are not intimate. Even if you want to search, you still need to find a woman."
One of the guards couldn't stand it. He had just seen Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan come out of a room. Now he was talking about men and women not being intimate. He didn't know what he was doing just now, so he mocked: "Just now you two
What are you doing in the room?"
Murong Feiyan's face turned red with embarrassment, but it's no wonder that others didn't think much about the fact that a man and a woman were alone in the same room. She waved her hand and hit the guard. Hu Xiaotian stood beside her, with quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed her arm.
If you are caught, it's not that you shouldn't fight, but that you can't fight. If you cause trouble now, you can only bring trouble to yourself.
As expected, the Yi Cheng's expression changed, and he waved his hand and said: "Catch them for me." He would not take a ninth-grade official like Hu Xiaotian seriously at all.
Murong Feiyan said: "My lord, let's talk in steps!"
The Yi Cheng frowned and thought to himself what tricks they wanted to play, but they might as well listen to what he said. He followed Murong Feiyan to the side. Murong Feiyan whispered a few words to him. The Yi Cheng listened to her
After saying that, his face changed very quickly, and his originally cold expression suddenly turned into a spring breeze. He laughed and said: "I didn't say it earlier, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" He waved his hand and motioned for the guards to retreat. In fact, just two
Every room has been searched and no problems were found.
After Yi Cheng led the gang to leave, Hu Xiaotian came to Murong Feiyan and whispered: "What did you say to him?"
Murong Feiyan smiled mysteriously: "Secret!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I know even if you don't tell me, it's just the Jingzhao Mansion sign that scares people."
Murong Feiyan glanced at him coldly, didn't bother to say anything more, walked back to her room, and closed the door heavily.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Murong Feiyan's closed door and couldn't help but shook his head. He waved his hands to the servants with strange expressions behind him and said, "Go back and rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Hu Xiaotian got up early. The four servants and three others were all asleep. Only Hoover got up early to take care of the horses. Hu Xiaotian opened the door and walked out.
But he saw that Murong Feiyan had already gotten up and was kicking and practicing in the courtyard.
Hu Xiaotian yawned lazily and walked over: "You really work hard!"
"How can I protect you if I don't work hard?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I am a big man and I don't need your protection." He tried to be brave, but in his heart he had to admit that if it weren't for Murong Feiyan, he would have died a long time ago.
Murong Feiyan stopped and asked Hu Xiaotian: "Do you know what happened last night?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
Murong Feiyan said: "There was a theft in the upper room of Tianzihao. It is said that a lot of things were lost last night. Even the urgent official letter sent from Yumen Pass was stolen."
Only then did Hu Xiaotian understand why there was such a big fuss last night. From this, the man in black who escaped from their roof yesterday should be the thief. Although they saw the thief, they did not stop him.
The skills of a famous thief.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This inn is also a place of right and wrong. We shouldn't stay for a long time. Let's go see if Hoover's carriage and horses are ready. Let's get on the road as soon as possible."
Murong Feiyan had the same idea as him, nodded and said: "It would be better to leave as soon as possible."
The group had a simple breakfast in the post house, prepared their carriages and horses, and continued traveling southwest.
The rest of the journey went much smoother, without wind or rain, and the sun was bright and sunny. With Murong Feiyan accompanying him all the way, safety could be guaranteed. As for the four servants, although they were timid and fearful, they were by no means what Hu Xiaotian said.
Hoover was very good at taking care of horses. With his care and conditioning, their horses always maintained strong energy during the half-month journey.
Li Jinhao and Shao Yijiao were responsible for arranging food and accommodation along the way. They were quite experienced in this area, and they were also hard-working and took the initiative to take on the heavy work in the team. As for Liang Dazhuang, this guy has always been a person whose words outweigh his actions.
, he doesn’t do much serious business, but he is definitely good at flattering and making jokes, and even teasing him when he has nothing to do will relieve his fatigue.
Hu Xiaotian's riding skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past half month. Although he is not as sophisticated as Murong Feiyan, he can still be regarded as an above-average level. Murong Feiyan will also teach him one or two moves when he is free.
, and the world is not peaceful today. If there is any trouble, even if Hu Xiaotian cannot help, he can still use the martial arts and swordsmanship he has learned to protect himself. This can be regarded as a precautionary measure.
But everything began to change after they entered Xichuan. As they were about to enter Xichuan, they encountered the longest rainy season of the year. It rained for days and the roads were muddy. When they were in Pingtung, the carriage axle broke, forcing them to abandon the carriage and move forward.
Ahead is Pengyin Mountain. Only after climbing over this mountain can they truly enter the realm of Xichuan. Along the way, they rested at the inns if there were inns, and chose inns if there were no inns. Although Hu Xiaotian had the detailed annotation given to him by Shi Xuedong in his hand.
Although he had never visited it once, he had never visited it once. The further southwest he went, the more desolate it became. Sometimes, he couldn't even see a single family for two or three days, and had to sleep in the wilderness.
The rain kept falling, the clouds were so low that they seemed to be pressing down on the top of the head, and the sky was dark and dreary. Hu Xiaotian was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and he looked like an old fisherman who had experienced a lot of weather. There was nothing he could do.
These are the most common rainproof equipment in this era, and Murong Feiyan is the same as him. The only carriage has been abandoned by them, and the horses are marching in the wind and rain. The wind is very strong, mixed with soybean-sized raindrops.
Come, slap their bodies and faces, until everyone can't open their eyes.
The horses couldn't even open their eyes. The men and horses all lowered their heads and moved little by little in the wind and rain. The march was extremely difficult.
A bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky, and the clouds seemed to be suddenly torn into a long hole by the lightning, and then the rain accumulated in the clouds poured down overwhelmingly.
