When Huafang docked, there was a lush apricot forest on the shore.√∟
Xiao Shi walked out of the cabin. A piece of white gauze covered her beautiful face, revealing only a pair of autumn eyes, which were clear and cold, quite similar to Xiao Qi's temperament.
Hai Qingshan put up the board, then got off the boat with Chu Li and went straight into the woods.
Chu Li followed him for more than ten meters. There was an open grassland in the forest, with a large green carriage and eight horses arrayed across it.
Hai Qingshan turned around and said, "Brother Chu, can you drive a carriage?"
"Yes." Chu Li said.
When he came down the mountain, he learned from the coachman Lao Cui and drove the carriage.
"Then there are brothers Lao Chu." Hai Qingshan said.
He unbridled the eight horses and led them outside.
Chu Li got on the carriage, waved his whip and made two noises, the carriage started, and followed the horses in front to the shore.
Hai Qingshan smiled and said: "Miss, Brother Chu will drive the carriage, just let Mr. Guo rest."
"Boy, stop flattering me, I just like driving carriages!" Guo Mulin said coldly.
Hai Qingshan chuckled twice and looked at Xiao Shi awkwardly.
Xiao Shi said: "Mr. Guo, sit with me and let Chu Li drive."
"Okay." Guo Mulin reluctantly agreed and glared at Chu Li coldly: "Boy, if you don't catch up well, see how I deal with you!"
Chu Li cupped his fists and smiled.
Guo Mulin snorted coldly and helped Xiao Shi into the carriage.
The carriage has a purple body and is wide and large. It looks ordinary on the outside, but it is just wide. The interior is elegantly and pleasantly decorated, and you can lie down no matter how far you go.
Hai Qingshan patted Chu Li on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo is a good person."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Words have no power to him, and he doesn't care what others say.
He drove the carriage like an arm and a finger, and the four horses seemed to know his thoughts.
Through the large round mirror, he could clearly see the road conditions and the thoughts of the four horses. He made fine adjustments at any time to make the carriage fast and stable, and he did not feel bumpy when walking on a narrow path.
Half an hour later, they walked onto an official road.
The six experts from Heaven and Earth spread out, four of them guarding the four corners of the carriage, and the other two went one behind the other, while Hai Qingshan was at the front exploring the road, disappearing from time to time.
There was still an empty horse, so he let go of the reins and let it follow behind. There were two large burdens on the horse's back.
Chu Li ignored everything else and only focused on driving.
He knew that Guo Mulin was full of sarcastic remarks and would pour them out at any time. Unfortunately, he never found the opportunity and could only hold it in, which was very hard.
Xiao Shi holds a volume of poetry in his hand.
Guo Mulin suppressed his words, took out a medical book and flipped through it. He quickly immersed himself in it, making gestures from time to time, his eyebrows were dancing, and time passed by unconsciously.
Soon the sun reached the middle.
Hai Qingshan urged his horse to the front of the carriage, clasped his fists and said, "Miss, there is a small pavilion in front of you, go in and have a rest and have something to eat."
"Yeah." Xiao Shi said.
Hai Qingshan urged the horse to lead the way. Chu Li shook off his whip and the carriage accelerated, and soon entered a woods. In the woods was a mottled and old pavilion for pedestrians to rest. It was built by the government.
Hai Qingshan unpacked two large bundles, which contained several wooden boxes and water bags. He opened the boxes neatly, took out four side dishes and placed them on the stone table, and then distributed some dry food and braised meat to Chu Li and the six masters.
Guo Mulin and Xiao Shi sat at the stone table to eat, while the six masters sat outside the small pavilion, protecting the small pavilion. While eating dry food and braised meat, they looked around and were on guard.
Hai Qingshan called Chu Li, and they led the horse far away, untied the reins and let the horse eat grass. He sat on the grass and began to eat dry food. Chu Li also ate dry food and braised meat.
Xiao Shi took off her white gauze, revealing a happy and angry face, and ate the food in small bites, elegantly and calmly.
She only ate the vegetables without saying a word, and Guo Mulin didn't speak either. The two of them adhered to the principle of eating without speaking, so they only ate in silence and slowly.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Shi wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, tied the white gauze scarf again, got up and walked out of the pavilion, walking in the woods, her green and graceful blouse fluttering.
Six masters from Heaven and Earth followed closely, surrounding her, and couldn't leave her for a moment.
Chu Li finished the dry food and braised meat in several mouthfuls, but Hai Qingshan still ate slowly.
Half an hour later, Xiao Shi returned to the car. Before getting in the car, Guo Mulin glared at Chu Li: "Boy, what are you doing in such a hurry!"
Chu Li cupped his fists and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'll be slower."
Guo Mulin snorted, very angry at his attitude of not retorting. He couldn't scold him freely, which seemed like he was being unreasonable, so he could only snort heavily and got into the car.
Xiao Shi sat in the carriage, pursed her lips and chuckled, shook her head and picked up the poetry collection.
Chu Li has no other thoughts now, he just wants safety. This trip is very secret and will not be leaked, but Lu Yurong is very powerful and must be on guard.
After Guo Mulin sat down, he took out his medical book and hummed: "What is this kid's background?"
"Mr. Guo, he is someone whom Third Sister values highly and wants to train him well."
"Oh, Miss Third's beloved general." Guo Mulin snorted, nodded and said nothing.
"What do you think, Mr. Guo?"
"Of course you can't go wrong with the person Miss Three has fallen in love with."
"That's right." Xiao Shi looked at the collection of poems and said in a long voice, "A very smart guy."
"Hey!" Guo Mulin shook his head: "It's a pity that you don't like smart people, Xiaoshi!"
Xiao Shi smiled, obviously not caring that Chu Li was sitting outside the carriage and could hear their words.
Chu Li secretly smiled bitterly, Xiao Shi looked at Chu Chu moving, gentle as water, indeed as Suru said, harder to get close to than the third lady.
He drove the car quickly and steadily, a minute slower than in the morning, and the carriage was more stable.
There were gradually people around, and from time to time I met people riding horses or driving carts, and there were many people coming and going on the official road.
The group of them did not attract much attention and encountered several groups of pedestrians of this size on the official road.
A carriage with several riders is a very common equipment. Although their carriage is wider, its appearance is simple and does not look like those who are too rich.
Hai Qingshan galloped back on his horse and walked side by side with the carriage: "Miss, there is a small town ahead. Do you want to go in and rest for the night?"
"Yeah." Xiao Shi responded.
Hai Qingshan whispered to Chu Li: "Turn left at the intersection ahead. There is a Northern Acropolis fifty miles away."
Chu Li nodded.
He suddenly glanced at the two knights who had just passed by and frowned.
Hai Qingshan saw his expression was different and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Chu Li pointed at the two knights who were walking away: "They are stepping on the spot!"
"You want to do something bad to us?" Hai Qingshan's face turned serious.
Chu Li nodded.
Hai Qingshan frowned: "Is it a robber?"
Chu Li shook his head while waving his whip: "I'm afraid I'm here for the second young lady."
Hai Qingshan's face darkened: "Do you suspect that he is from the Renguo Duke's Mansion?"
Chu Li nodded.
Hai Qingshan said: "I'll go take a look!"
After he said that, he hit the horse and chased the two knights. Even if Chu Li was wrong, it would be right to check more.
