The carriage moved forward slowly, and it was very quiet along the way. Occasionally, you could hear the "rustling" sound of the wheels running over the snow, and the "cracking" sound of charcoal exploding from the charcoal basin in the carriage.
Maybe it was because the carriage was driving too smoothly, or maybe it was because she got up early in the morning to rush on the road. In this warm and quiet environment, Lin Wanwan felt waves of sleepiness coming over her, and she soon fell into a trance. A drowsy state.
The heavy curtains on the car window completely blocked out the wind and snow outside. She was very sleepy and didn't know that at this time, outside the window curtains, a group of secret guards were following in the dark, and the two men who had been guarding Su Jingqian never left each other. Two close bodyguards were guarding her in the snow.
In order not to let her notice, Zi Shu and Zi Heng deliberately kept a distance from the carriage. They carefully paid attention to the movements around them every step of the way.
After driving smoothly for a while, Zi Heng suddenly noticed something strange. He immediately used his inner strength to probe into the distance with his ears, and heard a faint sound of rapid horse hooves behind him, as if a galloping horse was heading towards him. As they galloped in, he felt a shiver in his heart, and immediately pulled on the reins, warily guarding against the movements around him.
Zi Shu, who was walking at the front, seemed to have noticed something strange, and made a warning gesture to the surroundings, and the carriage slowed down smoothly.
At this moment, Lin Wanwan, who had already fallen asleep in the carriage, was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere outside the carriage.
When the sound of horse hoofbeats gradually approached, Zi Heng's brows narrowed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. In an instant, his sword was unsheathed, and the sword light reflected a cold light in the snow. Seeing this, the hidden guards around him also They all drew their weapons and stood ready.
The snow and mist in the forest are lingering, just like a light curtain of white gauze blown by the wind. In the hazy place, there seems to be a black shadow shuttled through the snow curtain, appearing and disappearing.
In order to prevent the other party from luring the tiger away from the mountain, everyone had to hold their breath and watch, waiting for the person to get close, then they would attack him in groups and capture him.
However, when Ziheng saw the man on horseback clearly through the snow and fog, he only heard a "pop" sound and the long sword in his hand had been inserted back into the scabbard.
Zi Heng immediately got off his horse, faced the visitor, and asked in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"
Su Jingqian was sitting on the horseback, the black fox fur on his body was almost dyed white by the frost and snow, and his black hair was covered with a thin layer of snow, as if he had just passed under the pear tree, and the flowers were falling in the rain. Sprinkled in his hair, the pressure on him became lighter, and he became more unruly and unruly.
"I have nothing to do, so I came here."
Su Jingqian responded lightly and got off the horse. His black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and the frost and snow all over his body shook off to the ground.
When Zi Heng heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
He looked at the frost on Su Jingqian's long eyelashes and his face that was so pale that it almost blended in with the ice and snow on the ground, and he felt quite complicated.
Before leaving, he saw his master discussing matters with General Nie. He must have been very busy. In addition, his master always had to do everything personally. He had so many things to worry about, so how could he have nothing to do? In the final analysis, he still couldn't worry about Miss Lin. If he didn't see her arriving safely with his own eyes, he might be worried that his heart would remain unfulfilled.
Zi Heng couldn't help but frowned, and immediately advised: "It's freezing outside, even if the master doesn't keep him in the house, he shouldn't ride his horse in the wind and snow. How can your body withstand such a bumpy situation now?"
"I'm not so weak that I can't even ride a horse." Su Jingqian's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant. After handing the whip to Zi Heng's hand, Su Jingqian stepped towards the carriage. Go.
After receiving the message from the secret guard, Zi Shu immediately ordered someone to stop the carriage and drove all the way over.
When he saw Su Jingqian, he saw that Su Jingqian was already standing in front of the carriage and was carefully brushing the snow and frost off his body.
"Master, what are you...?" Zi Shu was stunned, filled with doubts.
The master had previously told them not to make Miss Lin suspicious and to escort them secretly. But now, he was standing in front of the carriage so openly, as if he was about to get on the carriage. Could it be that the master was planning to challenge Lin? Did the lady tell the truth?
Zi Shu was puzzled.
But what puzzled him even more was why Ms. Lin didn't even make any movement after the carriage stopped?
Zi Shu looked at Su Jingqian with a bit of inquiry and confusion. Through the snowflakes flying like catkins, he could see that Su Jingqian's deep eyes were still calm, but even more revealing. Unpredictably, he stared at the heavy curtain of the carriage and said, "I will follow you to send her back."
"But……"
Zi Shu was about to ask how he was going to explain to Lin Wanwan later, but he saw that Su Jingqian had already opened the door curtain. Then he seemed to remember something, paused, and said quietly: "I forgot. Let me tell you, I put some sedative incense in the carriage and she has already fallen asleep."
Zi Shu was startled again when he heard this, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
It turned out that the master had made up his mind from the beginning to send Miss Lin back with them, but he neither wanted Miss Lin to find out nor wanted them to know in advance.
If they had known in advance that he was going to brave the wind and snow, they would have tried their best to dissuade him. Even if they could not dissuade him, they would not have allowed him to ride the horse. They would have arranged for another carriage. This would not only delay the trip, but also cause trouble. People pay attention. And along the way, they were afraid that because they were worried about his health, they would always pay attention to his every move and pay attention to everything, but they would neglect Miss Lin's safety. That's why he came up with this method. Hiding it from them and coming halfway.
Su Jingqian's thoughts have always been unpredictable. Even Zi Shu, Zi Yu, and Zi Heng who have been with him for many years can't figure it out. But when it comes to Lin Wanwan, they can always vaguely understand it. Saw some traces.
Zi Shu looked at the car curtain that was lifted and then dropped, and sighed quietly.
Perhaps, this is how it is when you love someone. Even if you don't say anything, no matter how much you hide it, flaws will always be exposed inadvertently. This is the case with the master, and the same is true with Miss Lin.
The moment Su Jingqian stepped onto the carriage, he immediately extinguished the soothing incense in the incense burner. He then heated his cold clothes by the charcoal basin until they were warm, and then carefully moved to sit next to Lin Wanwan.
He slowly lowered his eyes and stared at her peaceful sleeping face. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually turned into a pool of spring water, soft and delicate, as if telling the story of what he had been buried deep in all these years. The secret that cannot be revealed in the heart.
