"Master Ning, are you going to the capital?"
Shen Youchu thought about it carefully and asked him.
"When are you going?"
Seeing that she actually started to think about the date of departure, obviously taking her question seriously, Ning Wuyan laughed in embarrassment and gently raised his left arm that was still hanging.
"We'll wait until the injury heals. It's too early to tell now."
Actually it's not too early either.
When King Jin guesses the truth behind Zhou An's death, he will have to go to the capital whether he wants to or not.
The King of Jin was able to send someone to take Zhou An back to the capital, and also gave him the Jiachu token, which shows that Zhou An held a very important position in the heart of the King of Jin.
If my son dies, it is only human nature if I want to take revenge.
When Shen Youchu saw him retreating, he gave him an angry look: "Mr. Ning, are you kidding me?"
"No, when have I ever played tricks on you? I just made an assumption. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm not interested in the matter of the real guard. Whether Zhou An is dead or alive is up to him. choose."
Ning Wuyan picked up a stick from the roadside and handed one end to Shen Youchu.
After Shen Youchu grabbed it without thinking, he asked him curiously.
"do what?"
"Hold on, let's go up the mountain."
A young lady like Shen Youchu, who relies on horse-drawn carriages for all her travels and relies on escorts for all her fights, would not be able to run around the hills for two days in a row even if she travels around to collect scenery for painting.
As early as when Shen Youchu grabbed the hem of his clothes, he realized that the girl couldn't keep up with her feet, but he didn't want to say it.
As for why he didn't want to say it, a sentimental thought flashed through Ning Wuyan's mind, and he was too embarrassed to explain it, so he decided to be more practical.
"But Mr. Ning, your arm is not good either. You still have to drag me along. Aren't you tired?"
"Master Hua taught me a set of exercises to make my body healthier and stronger. Don't drag you up the mountain, there is no problem in dragging Mei Xiang up the mountain too."
"Really? Mei Xiang just said that her shoes hurt her feet. I asked her to come with me?"
I go!
I'm bragging, do you, Ms. Shen, still have to pierce it?
Just as Ning Wuyang was about to refuse, he saw Shen Youchu tilting his head and smiling at him, then clenching the stick in his hand and walking uphill side by side with him.
This is just teasing him!
Ning Wuyang laughed dumbly. Seeing Shen Youchu's effort, he hurriedly ran two steps and rushed in front of her.
The two of them walked forward one after another. In order to maintain each other's strength, neither of them spoke anymore.
Walking to the place where they met yesterday, the two of them looked behind each other in unison.
"Meixiang! Lead the way!"
"Miss, Mr. Ning, have you finished talking?"
We’ve finished chatting long ago.
They were so far away, as if the two of them were having a private meeting.
Thinking of this, Shen Youchu's cheeks turned slightly red and he secretly glanced at Ning Wuyan.
ah!
She didn't know if it was because she was a little hot because she walked too fast, but why did she see Mr. Ning's face turning red?
"Miss Shen, I hope you can pretend not to know about Zhou An."
Ning Wuyang made a request before Mei Xiang, a loudmouth, arrived.
Shen Youchu nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, apart from Ju Xiang and me, I won't even tell my parents. If Ju Xiang tells her, I will punish her severely."
Ju Xiang, who was squatting in the bush, rolled her eyes at the two sparrows that were leaning against each other on the branches. Then she grabbed a stone and threw it at them.
"Chacha!"
The sparrow flutters its wings.
Juxiang's ears suddenly became quiet. She patted the dirt on her hands with satisfaction and glanced at her young lady who was still walking forward with the stick. She couldn't help but feel worried when she thought about Zhou An.
The Shen family never participated in the royal family's battles. Zhou An's death must have something to do with Mr. Ning or Princess Xian.
If the young lady wants to help them but doesn't tell the head of the house and his wife, what will happen if something goes wrong?
However, the young lady had just warned her not to tell anyone, so she was really in a dilemma.
Juxiang regretted even more at this time.
She shouldn't have come!
"Chacha!"
The annoying sparrow flew back again, landed on the branch and spread its wings to ask for a mate.
Snapped.
Juxiang knocked out the male sparrow with a light blow, but saw the female sparrow fluttering its wings and flying towards other branches. Before she had time to sigh, the pair of birds in the same forest flew separately when disaster struck.
The female sparrow flew half a circle around the tree and then flew back to the male sparrow, who was beaten dizzy.
Juxiang looked at the pair of sparrows, and then looked at her own lady who was walking on the mountain path, and had the impression of a husband singing and a married woman, and gave up the idea of informing them.
The lady believes in Mr. Ning.
Then, she would also believe Mr. Ning for once.
She believed that Mr. Ning knew the young lady's position and would definitely not involve her in those struggles between right and wrong.
…
The sun sets.
The endless plains of Luancheng were shrouded in orange light. The strange and beautiful scene made the soldiers who had been on the road for several days couldn't help but slow down and watch, taking a breather.
Only Zhou Jingxian, who was riding a horse in front, did not dare to relax for a moment.
On horseback, her body was always like a tight long bow, ready to go.
Whenever there is any disturbance around her, she will react, clenching the sword in her hand, ready to take action at any time.
Until the non-existent crisis is over, she will breathe a sigh of relief, and then start over again, continuing to guard against all troubles.
"Princess Xian, it's time to bury the pot and make rice."
Ning Feng came over on horseback and reminded in a hoarse voice.
According to the plan, everyone was divided into three groups for duty and on the road. The remaining people were pulled by carts specially arranged by the governor of Luohe Road and were ready to be replaced at any time.
Every three hours we walked, we rested for an hour to make rice before continuing on our way.
But during this one-hour break, other officers and soldiers who were on duty were resting, but Zhou Jingxian stayed beside the eleven trucks carrying tobacco seeds, never more than a hundred steps away.
"Stop. I just ate a few wild fruits and I'm not hungry yet."
Zhou Jingxian unscrewed the cork of the kettle and took another sip of cold water.
It wasn't that she was holding on, but she was rushing in the heat, and she really didn't feel hungry.
If it weren't for maintaining her physical strength, she wouldn't even want to eat wild fruits, but occasionally the ice drink fruit plate she ate in Jinling would pop into her mind, making her mouth wet.
"drive!"
"drive!"
The officers and soldiers who had just been preparing to change duty heard the sound of galloping horse hooves from behind before they could react.
A red dress floated past, and Zhou Jingxian on horseback rushed far away.
"Alas, Princess Xian is really quick to take action upon hearing the news, and she has no time to spare."
Ning Feng saw that there was only one rider coming, and when he was about to signal everyone not to worry, he felt an awe-inspiring murderous aura coming towards him, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the Tiger Head Guan Dao in his hand.
"alert!"
"Enemy attack!"
A hundred feet away.
Jiachu rode the best horse selected in Lai'an County and galloped on the plain with a wide view. From a distance, he saw the convoy cleared and protected by officers and soldiers.
And, that dazzling red dress.
Zhou Jingxian.
Princess Xian.
is her!
She must have killed the young Marquis.
Jia Chu held the reins with his right hand and touched the oilcloth bag on his chest with his left hand.
A handful of the ashes of the young Marquis were placed inside.
