Unable to resist the good intentions of the magistrate and his wife, and it was indeed unsafe for a light car to take off on the road, Jiang Nianjiao thought about it and accepted the prefect's good intentions.
When we left, the sky was barely bright, and in the hazy mist, a red sun was rising from the horizon.
It seemed that today would be another scorching hot day, which was why Jiang Nianjiao had just arranged for the team to set off early in the morning. At least with this arrangement, they did not have to worry about the light ending too early and the sun being too harsh.
And because they were traveling along highways, the drivers quickly covered half of the distance in just one morning.
And when they arrived at Stone Valley, the sun began to show its warmth.
But no one dared to delay here at the moment. After all, the terrain of the Stone Valley looked like a dangerous place.
And I heard that someone died in this stone valley a while ago, all because someone threw stones from above the stone valley.
It is also because of this that the chaos here does not last only one day or two.
Therefore, even though they were extremely hot at the moment, no one said they wanted to rest here.
Even when the guard passed by here, he only said loudly as if to remind others, "We are about to cross the Stone Valley. You arrange a few people to explore the way first, and we will follow later. The others also cheered me up. Once we pass Stone Valley, we can rest!"
Hearing what the instructor said, the officials who were already hot and tired naturally immediately responded with a "Hello" after hearing the words.
The instructor then only found two more experienced government officials to explore the way ahead.
Under the instruction of the instructor, the two government officials naturally only explored the path into the Stone Valley first.
At this time, the Stone Valley was full of all kinds of stones.
It can be seen that this is the scene that those people did not have time to clean up the last time the sky rained rocks.
But when they looked up, they did not see the conditions for such a huge boulder to fall above the stone valley.
Therefore, most of the boulders here were dropped here artificially.
Although when they looked up, it was clearly empty above.
But right now, they are below, so no one knows if there is anyone hiding above, and whether they will encounter something like what happened to the previous wave of people.
However, after looking up and looking around, the two of them returned to where they were.
When they came back, the instructor naturally asked them what they saw in the Stone Valley.
The two men immediately replied, "Teacher, I'm afraid this stone valley is impassable. Although we didn't find anyone up there, the ground is full of stones, and judging from the stacked stones, I'm afraid this place has been there before." There was a man-made accident. So no matter how we get the carriage through the pile of rocks, it's a problem. Even if we can get through, we have to consider whether there is enough safety here."
After hearing the reports of the two people, the instructor immediately fell into a dilemma. He knew that Stone Valley was sad, so he asked the two veterans to explore the way first.
However, at this moment, the veterans really came to the conclusion that this road was not suitable for travel. But he started to get into trouble again. After all, if you want to go from Anxi to Leiyang City, this Stone Valley is almost a must-go place.
If they want to avoid Stone Valley, they must go back now, pass through Peixian County, and then make a big circle to Leiyang City.
Although they took a shortcut at that time, the long route was not safer. After all, Peixian County and Leiyang City were both on the border of Yunzhou. Therefore, when they detoured to Peixian County, they still had to take the shortcut. Go to Leiyang on the border road of Yunzhou.
And that's where bandits are rampant.
Therefore, although they don't want to encounter danger nearby, they also don't want to deliver food far away.
So after some tangle, one of them just put forward his own suggestion: "Napei County is even more unsafe and further away. In my opinion, otherwise we have to pass through here, or in the worst case, this is it. For the safety of the princess, you will return to the town first, while we go to say hello to the Leiyang County Magistrate, and then we
We can ask him to arrange some more people to clear the roadblocks. In this way, we can not only ensure the safety of Princess Jin, but also the princess can see Prince Jin smoothly. What do you think of my proposal? "
At this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people here only feel the unbearable heat.
Moreover, they couldn't stand the scorching heat, so the situation of Princess Jin who was in the carriage might be even worse.
Moreover, the first three months of pregnancy are the critical period to save the child. If anything happens to Princess Jin and the child in her belly, they will really be left without food.
It was also because of these reasons that the instructor only said, "In that case, this is fine."
Then he pointed at one of them and said, "Since you said so, then go to Leiyang Mansion with the two people just now to inform them of our arrival, and let them arrange the clearing of the road by the way?"
After hearing what the instructor said, the others naturally followed suit.
The coach had arranged everything and planned to take the people back to Huanghua Town first.
And when he ordered everyone to return, Jiang Nianjiao, who was still waiting for them to finish solving the problem and move on, had to ask Cui Qiao next to her to run over and call the coach over and ask him what was going on.
The instructor was afraid that Jiang Nianjiao would regret it, so he immediately said to Jiang Nianjiao, "The stone valley ahead is blocked, and we can't pass at all."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao asked persistently, "Can't we go from another place?"
Regarding Jiang Nianjiao's inquiry, the instructor was not surprised at all. He only took the initiative to explain, "Mountain Master, I'm afraid this is not possible. After all, Peixian County is too far away from here."
"Then are we going to turn around and go back?"
It was obvious that Jiang Nianjiao could not go back, so when faced with the instructor's words, Jiang Nianjiao only expressed that she would get off the carriage and go there.
When the instructor saw Jiang Nianjiao about to get off the carriage, he immediately hurried to stop Jiang Nianjiao.
"Princess, we are not going back home. We are just resting in the nearby Huanghua Town for one night. The main reason is that the road here is blocked and we have to arrange for other people to go there and clean the stones."
"When the road is clear, we can go to find Prince Jin smoothly."
When Jiang Nianjiao heard the instructor's explanation, of course she stopped moving forward.
After the instructor convinced Jiang Nianjiao, he immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat quickly.
The others received the instructions from the instructor and naturally turned back immediately.
The other three were responsible for going to Leiyang City to find people.
But after the two parties parted ways, no one would have thought that unexpectedly, they would be the first to come to the three people who went to explore the road.
After these three people finally walked out of the Stone Valley smoothly, they thought that there should be no danger waiting for them ahead.
However, they didn't want to think that they had just come out of the Stone Valley. Before they could even see the situation in front of them clearly, two of them fell to the ground instantly with the flash of sword light.
The remaining person realized that his companion's head fell to the ground in just a moment, and he sat down on the ground in fear.
As for his one, he barely managed to escape, but it also allowed him to see clearly the people who had just beheaded his brother.
He saw this group of people wearing black robes, blocking his path completely.
As soon as he saw this group of people, he immediately felt a murderous aura.
Therefore, when faced with this murderous intent, all he could do was to put as much distance between himself and those people as possible before they took action.
However, his move only angered these people even more.
One of them saw him retreating and almost chopped him to death.
It was Chen Yanrong who said at this critical moment, "Everyone, please wait!"
After hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the group of men in black were quite obedient and stopped taking action.
And Chen Yanrong immediately picked up from among them
Walked out.
When the man saw her, she was a beautiful woman, and she was not wearing such black clothes, so at the moment he just thought that he had met his savior.
However, Chen Yanrong quickly dashed his dream of being a savior.
After she saw the clothes of the government servants on the two dead men, she had already made a rough judgment about them.
"Are you from Anxi Prefecture?"
Hearing Chen Yanrong's words, the man wanted to deny it.
However, when he saw Chen Yanrong paying attention to his brother's gaze, he knew that lying would only make people feel more untrustworthy, so he immediately nodded honestly.
Chen Yanrong then immediately asked, "Where are you planning to go?"
"Yunzhou!" This time the guy lied.
Fortunately, Chen Yanrong didn't seem to have any doubts. After all, Stone Valley was not only a must-pass for Leiyang City, but also a must-pass for Yunzhou.
After Chen Yanrong asked about the other party's whereabouts, she just said, "Then what are you going to Yunzhou for?"
The man immediately said, "We are going to Yunzhou and Yunzhou Border Guard to deliver some documents."
However, after Chen Yanrong heard this, she immediately whispered to the man in black, "He is not the person we are looking for. Let's just kill him."
After hearing Chen Yanrong's order, the men in black surrounded him again, and it seemed that they were ready to attack that man.
The spy was not aware of their actions at first. It was not until he felt Chen Yanrong retreating and the men in black surrounding him that he felt something was wrong.
He immediately shouted, "What do you want to do!"
At the same time, he immediately said to Chen Yanrong, "Girl, save me!"
However, facing his request for help, Chen Yanrong just chose to stand on the sidelines.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might still die.
However, he did not think that Chen Yanrong gave up on him because he felt that he was already useless. On the contrary, the result of his reflection was that Chen Yanrong knew all the lies he told later.
