With the help of the coachman, Gu Fuzhou and Qu Lang were helped into the car one after another. After they were seated firmly, the coachman shook the reins, and the strong and gray sled dogs immediately started running on the icy streets.
The car was swaying, and Qu Le was jolted hard, causing her wounds to hurt. She covered her chest with one hand, her face turned pale. Li Changfeng, who had been staring at her closely, immediately noticed something strange about her, and he flirted with her.
He raised the curtain and said to the coachman: "Run slower and try to walk on flat ground."
The driver's attitude was extremely respectful: "Yes."
He slowed down the car, and the car became much smoother.
Li Changfeng looked at Qu Le nervously and said softly: "You can lean on my shoulder, it should be more comfortable."
"Thank you, no need," Qu Le subconsciously pulled up the blanket covering her body to cover the faintly bleeding collar on her chest. She avoided Li Changfeng's burning gaze and began to close her eyes to rest.
The sleigh stopped after running for a short time. Li Changfeng immediately asked: "What's going on?"
The driver explained: "Lord, the road ahead is blocked."
Li Changfeng lifted the bamboo curtain of the car window and took a look outside. The street in front of him was crowded with people. The street, which was originally not very spacious, was now even more crowded, making it almost difficult to walk. He frowned slightly: "Can I take a detour?"
Coachman: "I can give it a try."
So the sleigh started again, and they tried to bypass this place, but they ran for half an hour and still couldn't find a way around this place. In the end, they could only return to this place. Looking at the dense crowd of people in front of them, Li Changfeng said dissatisfiedly
: "Yan Jiu, go ahead and take a look. What happened? How long will it take for this road to be passable?"
The driver, known as Yan Jiu, respectfully agreed. He jumped out of the car and ran forward. He was not tall, but his skills were unexpectedly flexible. In just a few clicks, he squeezed in smoothly.
After entering the crowd, in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the vast sea of people.
In the carriage, Li Changfeng took out the teapot and teacup from the hidden compartment behind the seat cushion, and poured a cup of tea for everyone present.
The tea cup was actually still warm. Qu Le held the warm tea cup with both hands and took a small sip. His eyes narrowed in comfort: "This tea tastes pretty good. I remember Sister Su Yue likes to drink tea very much. If
If she were here, she would be very happy."
Li Changfeng's expression was a little strange: "I also like drinking tea."
"Oh?" Qu Le glanced at him and smiled knowingly, "As expected of a couple, they both have the same preferences. I believe your relationship should be very good."
Li Changfeng's mood became even more depressed.
It didn't take long for Yan Jiu to run back out of breath. He said, "My lord, I have just inquired. The road ahead has been blocked by officers and soldiers."
Li Changfeng frowned slightly: "Since the road is closed, why are there so many people blocked in front?"
"They all came to pay homage to King Ling."
Li Changfeng looked puzzled: "King Ling? You mean the third prince of Snow Region?"
"Yes, that's him," Yan Jiu paused, stepped forward and lowered his voice, "I heard that three months ago, there was a banditry in the Tianlin Mountain area. The bandits burned, killed, and looted, and they were like locusts.
Not a single inch of grass was left, causing trouble for the people. The local government sent troops to suppress it several times, but all failed. In desperation, they had no choice but to report the matter to the King of the Snow Region. The King of the Snow Region was very angry when he found out about it.
, sent King Ling to lead 30,000 elite soldiers, and defeated the bandits. Today happened to be the day when King Ling returned in triumph. The people who came after hearing the news lined the streets to welcome them, and the road was blocked.
Well."
"I see," Li Changfeng glanced at the crowd in front again, "Can you tell me when the road will be opened?"
Yan Jiu: "It can take as little as half an hour, or as long as most of a day. It depends on when King Ling can enter the city."
There is nothing we can do about being anxious now. Li Changfeng said: "Find a place to park where there are fewer people. Let's continue on our way until the road is clear."
Yan Jiu immediately agreed.
The sleigh came to a stop in a corner nearby. Li Changfeng dug out two boxes of exquisitely crafted snacks from the hidden compartment. After opening them, he placed them one by one in front of Qu Le. He said, "We probably have to wait here for a while.
Time, you guys eat something to fill your stomach first, I’ll have someone go around the area later to see if there’s any food that can be packed back.”
Coconut-shredded glutinous rice cake, white jade lotus paste buns, emerald pearl cloud slices...
They were all Qu Le's favorite desserts. Her eyes lit up when she saw them, and she and Gu Fuzhou shared them all. Since the desserts were relatively dry, she drank several cups of tea. It didn't take long before she had one.
The urge to urinate came up, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Seeing something strange in her expression, Li Changfeng asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Qu Le lowered her head in embarrassment: "No, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
There were men in the car, and even if she was a hen, she didn't have the face to say that she wanted to pee in front of them. Qu Le had to hold it in, but the more she held it in, the more uncomfortable it became. Until she finally couldn't hold it in anymore,
She had no choice but to quietly tug on Gu Fuzhou's sleeve and whisper to him: "Can you help me get out of the car?"
Without waiting for Gu Fuzhou to answer, Li Changfeng noticed her little move. Seeing that she would rather find other men than ask him for help when something happened, Li Changfeng's face darkened again. He said in a deep voice: "Young Master Gu still has a poison on his body.
Du, he has to be helped to walk by himself, so how can he still have the strength to help you? Let me help you."
As he spoke, he ignored Qu Le's objections, picked her up and strode out of the car.
In the ice and snow, the cold wind howled by. Li Changfeng held Qu Le and stood in the shelter behind the sleigh. He leaned against Qu Le's ear and asked softly: "What do you want to do down here? Tell me, I can help
you."
Now that everyone is out, it would be too stupid to be pretentious. Qu Le put on a self-defeating posture and said expressionlessly: "I want to pee."
Li Changfeng: "..."
Li Changfeng, with a blushing face, hugged Qu Le and borrowed a toilet from a nearby house. After taking care of his personal needs, Qu Le breathed a sigh of relief and felt cute all over!
Li Changfeng casually threw a piece of silver to the host to express his gratitude.
He actually asked for two taels of silver just to go to the toilet. Damn it, the second generation of rich people don’t regard money as money at all! Qu Le, with a hatred of the rich, stared at the host with envy and jealousy as he put the money into his arms. The two of them
People walked out of the door amidst the host's gratitude.
Before the two of them returned to the car, they heard bursts of noise coming from the front. Qu Yue followed the sound and saw those people squeezing forward, shouting loudly.
Shout...
"It's King Ling! King Ling is finally back!"
"I heard that not only did they beat the thieves to pieces this time, but they also properly resettled the local victims and returned all the things that were stolen. Prince Ling is really a kind-hearted and good man!"
"Prince Ling is not only handsome, but he is also very knowledgeable and talented. He is truly amazing. The most important thing is that he is kind-hearted and has good moral character. If my future husband can have
His 10%, I am so happy that I can laugh even in my dreams!"
The folk customs in the snowy region are open and the restrictions on women are not strict. Everyone who heard this girl's bold words couldn't help but laugh out loud and said that she was wishful thinking.
When Qu Le heard their conversation, she not only became curious about the Ling King whose name she heard before she met him, she stretched her neck and looked ahead. Unfortunately, there were too many people, and she couldn't see it after looking for a long time.
What is the shadow of King Ling?
Seeing that she cared so much about other men, Li Changfeng felt very uncomfortable. He held her in his arms and strode towards the sleigh: "He's just a good-looking prince, what's so good about us? It's windy outside, we
Let’s go back first and wait until everyone has dispersed, then we can continue on our way.”
Qu Le said: "Anyway, waiting is just waiting. Let's take a look here. Compared with King Yu, I don't know what is so outstanding about King Ling that he deserves the support of so many people."
Li Changfeng tucked her head away to prevent her from catching cold and getting sick due to the wind and snow. He said nonchalantly: "The more people support him now, the greater the resistance will be for him to ascend to the throne in the future."
Qu Le looked at him out of the corner of her eye: "How do you know he definitely wants to inherit the throne? Maybe he is really just kind-hearted. Not everyone in this world has ambitions."
"As long as there is desire, there will be ambition, but everyone's ambition is used in different places. Some people like power, so they are full of ambition for status; some people love money, so they are full of ambition for interests; some people yearn for freedom, so they are full of ambition for interests.
The future is full of ambition; some people are addicted to love, so they are full of ambition for relationships..." Li Changfeng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled with unclear meaning, "Greed, anger, stupidity, love and hate, as long as you are a human being, you will inevitably be tempted."
What he said was so mysterious that Qu Le couldn't help but look at him twice. From the angle of looking from bottom to top, he could clearly see his jawline, which was clean and strong, his long eyelashes were slightly upturned, and his black eyes were
Deep as the vast starry sky.
Qu Le's heart moved, and she suddenly felt that he looked very much like a person now.
That man also has a pair of deep black eyes. When he speaks, his chin will rise slightly, like a proud and elegant black swan.
Seeing her staring at him, Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Qu Le immediately came back to her senses. She looked back embarrassedly, turned to look at the crowd in front, and said in a mocking tone: "Look how good you look!"
Li Changfeng didn't care about the sarcasm in her tone at all, and smiled with satisfaction: "As long as you like it."
Once upon a time, there was a man who often said these words in her ears many times.
Qu Le lowered her eyes, feeling a little sad and nostalgic.
Seeing that she suddenly became a little sad, Li Changfeng asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Qu Le shook his head and said calmly: "Nothing, I just accidentally remembered an old friend."
"Oh? What old friend?"
Qu Le did not answer. She looked up and looked ahead again, and unexpectedly saw a group of people. She said in surprise: "I seem to have seen King Ling!" (To be continued)
