The road to exile was too difficult. In the snowy weather, my hands and feet were frozen. After being warmed by the fire, the heat invaded, which was very painful and unbearable.
After drinking the hot pepper soup, the team had to move forward, walking in the quiet wind and snow. After five days of this, they finally walked out of the snow onto a dry and smooth road.
"I've seen it rain across the street before, but I didn't expect it to snow across the street!" Caiwei said strangely.
Li Ruijiu stroked his beard, which was covered with frost formed by the breath he exhaled. "The world is full of wonders, so this is not surprising!"
Pointing to the sky in front of him, he said: "Look, the sky is gray. It should have snowed just like where we walked. It's probably just not the right time yet!"
Zhang Linggu said: "Uncle Li's words are wrong. It's not that the time has not come, but that the temperature in the sky here has not reached low enough to form ice crystals!" Gu Huairu's family of three were on the carriage, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy inside. As a big girl, he sometimes got out of the car and walked around to avoid suspicion. As a top student, he knew more than Caiwei, so he couldn't help but speak.
What is temperature and what are ice crystals? As an ancient person, how could Li Ruijiu understand? In the spirit of not being ashamed to ask questions and getting to the bottom of things, he chased Zhang Linggu and asked endless questions.
Zhang Linggu explained it three times, but Li Ruijiu still couldn't understand the terms he said, so he pretended that he had something to do and wanted to escape back to the carriage. However, he underestimated Li Ruijiu's thirst for knowledge, so how could he let him go so easily? Face walked quickly, kept asking questions, and trotted after him.
Gu Jingzhi laughed secretly in his heart, letting you show off your knowledge and talent.
Seeing Zhang Linggu's embarrassment, he was secretly relieved. Ji Kuo had already sent an order: "Everyone, work harder. There is Qingfeng Mountain in more than three miles. Let's rest at the col over there!"
Are you arriving at Qingfeng Mountain so soon?
Gu Jingzhi's secret path was not good. Qingfeng Mountain and Mingyue Lake were at the junction of the three states and were under no one's jurisdiction. When the exile team came here in the previous life, they encountered bandits and robbed them, and there was a scuffle between Jie Chai and the bandits.
The eldest brother Gu Jingchao showed off his power and killed many people before scaring them away. One person was killed by Jie Chao, three prisoners were also killed, and as many as ten people were injured.
He walked out of the queue, crossed his hands in front of Ji Kuo and said, "Master Ji, it is said that bandits often appear in Qingfeng Mountain. We should stop and set up camp now, and then pass through after dawn tomorrow, how about?"
Ji Kuo waved his hands to disagree, "Mr. Gu doesn't know something. There is indeed a group of bandits in Qingfeng Mountain. They only rob the wealthy businessmen who come and go and ask for some passing money. They don't hurt anyone!"
He turned back and pointed at the crowd and said: "We have been exiled all the way and have no money left. How can any blind bandit rob a prisoner who has been sent to prison?"
In the past, the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain did not rob and exile prisoners. First, the prisoners did not have much money to rob. Second, once the prisoners were injured, it was not a matter for one state or one city, but for the entire Qiantai Dynasty. If something happens, the imperial court will issue an official document ordering many places to send troops to encircle and suppress the situation. For a little money, the gain outweighs the loss.
But today is different from the past. Gu Jingzhi knows that after Prince Xian failed in his rebellion, one of his subordinates slipped through the net and was thrown into Qingfeng Mountain, where he planned to kill the leader of the village. Now the bandits under the rule are killing people and stealing goods here, doing all kinds of evil.
"Sir, I'm afraid things will be different now. It's better to wait until dawn before leaving!" Gu Jingzhi advised again.
Ji Kuo was a little annoyed. It is true that you are the brother of the Ninth Prince, but you are no longer the heir apparent of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. You are just an exiled prisoner. You actually interfered with the release of the prisoners. It was beyond belief.
He calmly did not answer his words and shouted loudly: "Yang Xiong, quickly form the team and speed up!"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head helplessly, as the saying goes: Good words can't persuade a damn ghost. Let him be!
