At noon, Xiaoding and a group of six people finally arrived at Chenzhuang.
Although Bing Hua Tuo set an ambush for them on the way, he did not tell lies. The post station they met on the way was indeed being rebuilt. As a result, they had to walk an extra twenty miles to reach Chenzhuang.
Chenzhuang is a small village, but because it is close to the official road and has a post station, people from all over the country will come here to visit every market and temple fair.
Today happened to be the temple fair, and Chenzhuang was bustling with people coming and going.
The six of them planned to fill their stomachs first and then go to the inn to find a large carriage.
Tang Qingqing originally planned to buy two carriages. She wanted to ride in one alone with Xiao Ding. She had many banknotes on her. But Xiao Ding said that it was a long way to go, and she didn’t know what other plots the Qinglong Society would use. It was convenient for everyone to take care of each other in the same car. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that what Xiao Ding said made sense, so she pouted angrily and reluctantly Agree.
Everyone ate something casually and bought a lot of dry food at the market. Xiao Ding also specially bought some roast chickens and two jars of daughter red.
Tang Qingqing laughed that he was indeed an alcoholic, but he sneered. After traveling a long distance, of course you need wine to relieve your thirst. How can you women understand these truths?
Everyone spent a long time choosing at the inn, choosing three tall and big horses and a tall and big carriage.
When the owner of the inn saw that all six of them had foreign accents and were in a hurry, he said that the horse was owned by the government and he did not dare to buy or sell it privately.
When Tang Qingqing took out a large stack of banknotes, his eyes widened. He said that when he was away from home, it was convenient for himself and he would make it clear to the officials.
In fact, everyone understands that although this inn is set up by the government, it is mostly run by private individuals. They only need to pay some tax money to the government every month. This is a hugely profitable industry, and you can't make a living without some connections in the government.
Tang Qingqing's offer was really too generous. The banknotes she gave were almost enough to buy two carriages. The owner of the inn nodded and bowed all the way, and even asked politely if he wanted to provide them with a coachman for free.
Of course they didn't ask for a free coachman. There is nothing free in this world. The inn owner just saw that Tang Qingqing had enough banknotes and looked for opportunities to get close to him. After he became familiar with it, he had many ways to make money from others.
The carriage followed the official road and continued heading southwest.
Wei Qingshu and Liu Qingfeng took turns driving and resting. They didn't change their horses. They took a break every two or three inns, replenished their horses with fodder, and prepared food and drink at the inns.
When the weather was good, they would rush on their way. If they were unlucky enough to encounter rain or snow, they would have to stay in an inn at night.
After a long journey and a tiring journey, drinking some wine is really comfortable. It can relieve fatigue and ward off the cold. So when Xiao Ding bought another wine, Tang Qingqing stopped teasing her. Later, she herself drank more than Xiao Ding. Very powerful.
Leaving the boundary of the Central Plains and getting closer to the southwest, the weather is getting better and better. It has been good weather with clear skies for three consecutive days.
When the weather was nice, there was no need to huddle in the car. Tang Qingqing opened all the curtains in the car and stuck her head out the window, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.
Qingcheng Sixiu rarely spoke. Xiaoding felt so bored that he also stuck his head out the window and looked at the scenery outside the window with Tang Qingqing.
Hurrying slowly, the group finally entered the boundary of Boryeong. At this time, both the people and the horses were in urgent need of supplies, so they found a nearby inn to stop.
This place has a nice name, Mingyue Valley.
There are many mountains in Sichuan, and the mountains form valleys. Mingyue Valley is a canyon. The official road winds along the canyon, and the post station is at the entrance of the canyon.
The owner of the inn greeted him enthusiastically: "Sister, do you want to change your horse? Can you get some food and drink to take with you?"
Tang Qingqing was born in Sichuan. When she heard the local accent in the inn, she suddenly felt a mixture of emotions.
She also answered in Sichuan dialect: "There is no need to change the horse, just feed it with some fodder. Get us some food and drink first."
The inn owner had a smile on his face and called into the room: "Okay, Erwazi, come out and feed the horse."
While everyone was eating and drinking, Tang Qingqing suddenly pointed to the door and said, "That carriage is so cool."
Following the direction she pointed, everyone looked up and saw a tall and large carriage slowly driving into the inn at the intersection. The carriage Tang Qingqing bought was also tall and big, but compared to the one coming in in front of them, their carriage looked like a child's toy.
This carriage is not only tall and big, but also very long, so long that it divides one carriage into two compartments.
Not only is it long, it is also very luxurious, with canopy and tassels, the interior of the carriage is covered with Persian carpets, the objects are placed on a fine sandalwood coffee table, and the walls of the carriage are filled with fine wine.
Of course such a majestic carriage must have a majestic name.
Xiao Ding murmured: "This car is called 'Yun Che'. The name is not only impressive, but also sounds nice."
Tang Qingqing pouted and hummed: "What's so cool about it? I'll get one for fun someday."
"Wait, you know this car is called 'Cloud Car'?" Tang Qingqing stared at Xiao Ding and asked.
Xiao Ding didn't speak, just stared at the carriage, and the people in the carriage also walked out of the carriage.
A handsome young man in a purple shirt, holding a long sword, came over.
Who is this young man if not Ye Rongqiu?
At this time, Ye Rongqiu also saw Xiao Ding, their eyes met, and Ye Rongqiu was stunned on the spot.
Xiao Ding was also stunned and forgot to get up to say hello.
Neither of them expected to meet again thousands of miles away.
We meet again in such a place whose name is full of dreams.
There is an ancient poem that says: The clear breeze and bright moon are priceless, and the mountains and rivers near and far away are all sentimental. He also said that tonight, when the moon is bright and everyone looks around, I don’t know who is missing in autumn thoughts.
Mingyue Valley is really a nice name.
Both of them forgot to speak and just looked at each other in confusion.
Ye Rongqiu left in anger and regretted it as soon as he walked out of the gate of Shaolin Temple.
At that time, she secretly cursed Xiao Ding in her heart, why didn't she keep her? After her anger subsided, she figured out how could Xiao Ding leave her quietly in such a crowded situation like a martial arts conference. But she was still angry. When she thought about Xiao Ding and Tang Qingqing's close behavior, she felt uncomfortable for no reason.
As for Xiao Ding, he has cursed himself in his heart more than once. He is as stupid as a pig. At that time, he just wanted to ask Tang Qingqing to detoxify the Shaolin elders, and then explain what happened to Ye Rongqiu after the martial arts conference was over, but he did not expect how impulsive a woman would be when she was angry.
These days, he has regretted it more than once and thought of Ye Rongqiu more than once. He even secretly decided that after sending the head of Qingcheng back to Qingcheng Mountain, he would look for Ye Rongqiu, and he would find her regardless of the ends of the earth.
When he thought of Ye Rongqiu, he forgot that there was Tang Qingqing beside him. Just like at this moment, when he looked into Ye Rongqiu's eyes, he also forgot that Tang Qingqing was looking at him.
He never thought about how he would arrange for Tang Qingqing if he went to find Ye Rongqiu, and how he would say those words about leaving to her.
He had never thought about how he would tell Ye Rongqiu everything about Tang Qingqing after he found her.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't think about it, but that he doesn't dare to think about it. Faced with a dilemma, he can only choose to escape.
He knew in his heart how the two women felt about him, but he didn't understand what he was thinking.
He thought the person he liked was Ye Rongqiu, and Ye Rongqiu was the first woman who made his heart beat. They both had the same unfortunate childhood experience, experienced many things together, and left many beautiful memories.
These days, he often thinks of Ye Rongqiu, especially when he is sitting in the carriage drinking. He will think of his surprise when he got on the 'Cloud Car' for the first time, and Ye Rongqiu's surprise when he put her into women's clothes for the first time. There was also the helplessness of crying in his arms for the first time, and the shyness when cooking for him for the first time... When he thought of these things, Tang Qingqing sat next to him, sometimes looking at him quietly, sometimes Qiao smiled sweetly, sometimes giggling charmingly, and then there was a voice in his heart asking himself, have you forgotten Tang Qingqing again?
Tang Qingqing had experienced life and death with him, and his true feelings before life and death were revealed. How could he forget that long night in this life?
Men are selfish in the face of love.
But what about women, why don’t they want to keep the man they love to themselves?
A woman's intuition is a strange thing. When Xiao Ding went down the mountain to find the antidote, Ye Rongqiu felt faintly uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell why. She didn't understand until she saw Tang Qingqing appearing next to Xiao Ding. , what she worried about actually happened.
Tang Qingqing just heard Xiao Ding say a name, and felt that the "Little Leaf" in Xiao Ding's mouth was not an ordinary person. At the martial arts conference, Ye Rongqiu looked at Xiao Ding and she happened to see it. At that time, she knew that this wind god A handsome boy, not a man!
Either a man or a woman. The woman next to Xiao Ding is his love rival.
The disappeared love rival suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was much more surprised than anyone else.
Although Tang Qingqing is sometimes unruly and willful, she understands right and wrong. She also understood that the person Xiao Ding met first was Ye Rongqiu. Sometimes she even felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt in her heart, feeling that she had snatched Xiao Ding from Ye Rongqiu's hand. But this kind of thinking is just the mercy of the superior towards the weak. At this moment, Ye Rongqiu suddenly appeared, and her superior thoughts had long disappeared. Now who can tell who is superior?
As for Ye Rongqiu, have you ever thought that Tang Qingqing was the one who showed up later, and that she took away Xiao Ding who was supposed to be hers?
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with it. No matter what the three of them think in their hearts, they must not have figured out a problem.
A fatal question: In real love, what comes first?
