Huo Zhiqing wanted to leave with Murong Shuqing, she held Murong Shuqing with one hand and Lu Yi with the other, and said seriously, "It doesn't matter, you only bring one girl from your family. It's too dangerous for a maid to go out with a bodyguard. My elder brother, younger brother, and elder brother Yan all know martial arts and can protect you. Big brother, don't you think so?!" Finally, he did not forget to mention Huo Ziqi.
Huo Ziqi smiled bitterly to himself, his younger sister is really ignorant, what kind of ordinary guard is this guard beside Murong Shuqing? From the moment he came in, he noticed him. His steady and fast pace, long and strong inner breath, and martial arts might be better than him. This person has always stayed by Murong Shuqing's side, even though he seemed to be sitting next to him just now, he was actually able to attack and retreat, and to defend Murong Shuqing. Besides, since sitting down to now, let alone eating, he hasn't even taken a sip of water. With people like this around, they don't need their protection at all. But seeing Xiaomei's beautiful eyes staring at him, as if she was going to bite him if he wanted to say nothing, he could only shake his head and said following Huo Zhiqing's words, "If Miss Murong doesn't mind, Just go on the road with us, and there will be someone to take care of you."
Murong Shuqing also saw Huo Ziqi's helplessness, and it seemed that he really loved this sister very much. Huo Ziqi agreed, Huo Zhiqing exclaimed happily and said, "That's right, there is someone to take care of, okay, Sister Murong?"
Murong Shuqing couldn't stand someone looking at her like an abandoned puppy. She thought that Tang Xiaoxiao was the only one with such skills, but she never thought that Huo Zhiqing was also a master. In the end, Murong Shuqing could only nod and smile, "Then... Excuse me."
With a cheer, Huo Zhiqing happily dragged Murong Shuqing to the upstairs room, regardless of Huo Ziqi's angry and funny sighs behind him, and without looking at Li Youyu's angry face.
Early in the morning, the bright sun shines through the wooden windows into the lobby of the inn, with warmth in simplicity. The bright sun always makes people feel inexplicably comfortable. Huo Zhiqing stretched her waist and walked out of the inn. The servants of Huo's family and Murong's family were already tidying up their horses. When Huo Zhiqing saw Murong Shuqing's carriage, she ran over there screaming, cheering excitedly. After a lot of tossing, she led Huo Ziqi out to see what this crazy girl was calling again.
Huo Ziqi was stunned for a moment, his resolute and calm eyes were tinged with scorching heat. It was not how luxurious Murong Shuqing's carriage was, but a pure black carriage with no decoration. It looked very spacious, but it was low-key and unobtrusive. What caused Huo Zhiqing to scream were the four equally sturdy, well-proportioned, black-haired horses in front of the carriage. Huo Ziqi also walked over and stroked the horse's back, the black horse stepped on its front hooves restlessly. These four horses are not the fastest horses for thousands of miles, but the precious thing is that they should come from a mare with basically the same footsteps, and because of the blood relationship, the four horses will run more tacitly, and the carriage will be more stable and fast. .
When Murong Shuqing walked out of the inn, he saw the two brothers and sisters of the Huo family staring at her horse. They couldn't help laughing. Their family really loved horses. Behind Murong Shuqing is Li Youyu, a fan Luo skirt compliments her flowery face, which looks really beautiful on this fresh morning. After nodding and saying hello, the two went out.
Huo Zhiqing greeted her with a hearty smile, "Morning, Sister Murong!" Sister Murong's pure white t-shirt is so beautiful and simple, it's not as procrastinating and complicated like other women's clothes, and with the wooden hairpin on her head, it's even more elegant and elegant. .
Seeing her energetic appearance early in the morning, Murong Shuqing also felt in a better mood, and replied with a smile, "Morning!"
"Sister Murong, your horse is so beautiful. By the way, what about the horse you rode when I first saw you? It's so majestic." Do not forget.
Murong Shu smiled lightly and said, "It's at home, so I didn't bring it out this time." Ice Soul is running too fast, other horses can't keep up, and it doesn't like being covered by a quilt.
Huo Zhiqing was a little disappointed that she couldn't see the horse she was thinking about, but soon, she raised her lovely smiling face again, shook Murong Shuqing's sleeves, and asked, "I want to ride in your carriage, can I?" She didn't want to ride in a carriage with Li Youyu, the scent on her body was killing her.
Murong Shuqing nodded amusedly, "Okay!"
Huo Zhiqing happily climbed into the carriage, which was very spacious. After the carriage started running, she exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Murong, your carriage is really comfortable and not bumpy at all."
After looking left and right for a while, Huo Zhiqing suddenly climbed up in front of Murong Shuqing, staring at Murong Shuqing with big watery eyes, and asked very seriously, "Sister Murong, what do you think of my eldest brother?"
Murong Shuqing thought about the words for a while, and replied with a smile, "Young Master Huo is a decent person, very good."
Huo Zhiqing smiled and rolled her eyes, sat happily side by side with Murong Shuqing, and said proudly, "You think my eldest brother is not only good, he is not only decent, but also handsome." Murong Shuqing whispered, biting her ear, "And you haven't married yet!"
God, is this little girl going to help her as a matchmaker? Seeing Huo Zhiqing laughing like a stinky kitten beside her, Murong Shuqing rubbed her temples secretly, not knowing what to do next, so she could only take advantage of the situation and said, "Mr.
Huo Zhiqing smiled and said, "But not yet! My eldest brother is not only handsome, but also very nice, considerate and capable."
Huo Ziqi must not know that his little sister is trying to sell him. Seeing that she has a tendency to talk more and more vigorously, Murong Shuqing didn't want to get involved, and quickly changed the topic and asked: "Zhiqing, you seem to be very interested in horses. ?"
Hearing Murong Shuqing mentioning horses, Huo Zhiqing became interested, put aside what he was going to say before, and said proudly, "Yes, our family is mainly in the horse business, but I'm very good at picking horses, big brother. compliment me."
Murong Shuqing let out a sigh of relief, and asked questions about Wrangler from time to time to prevent Huo Zhiqing from bringing the topic to Huo Ziqi again. The persistence of a little girl is sometimes a headache.
Lu Yi pulled up the bamboo curtain slightly, and the morning light could shine in through the curtain, but it would not be too sunny, and the mottled sunlight was another charm. Murong Shuqing was leaning against the window, listening to the little sparrow chirping and talking about interesting stories on the pasture, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of early autumn through the bamboo curtain, which was quite a pleasant thing.
The afternoon sun gradually became stronger, Huo Zhiqing said that she was tired, lying on the corner of the carriage, studying the delicate bamboo patterns on the green brocade handkerchief, she said it was exquisite.
Huo Zixi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was already early autumn, it was still very hot on this sunny afternoon. Seeing a small tea house not far ahead, Huo Zixi said to Huo Ziqi in front, "Brother, go to the tea house in front of you to rest for a while before leaving."
The sun is really strong today. Huo Zhiqing and the others in the car should be hungry too. Huo Ziqi nodded and said, "Take a rest."
The carriage stopped, and Huo Zhiqing couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage. As she walked into the tea house, she said to the white-haired old man inside, "Old man, bring us tea and cakes."
The old man came over with a few tea bowls and said embarrassedly, "Girl, this is a mountain tea shop. I just give you a place to stop and quench your thirst. There are no pastries, just some tea and steamed buns."
Huo Zhiqing lay on the table weakly, and said lazily, "Steamed bread? It's okay, I'm starving to death."
"Ladies and gentlemen, take it easy." The old man put some steamed buns in a big bowl, put them on the table, and squatted beside the tea house to smoke. He has seen many such young ladies and young masters, and in the end he will only waste food.
This black and yellow steamed bun was different from the white flour steamed bun at home. Huo Zhiqing grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. "Oh my God, why is this steamed bun so hard?" Huo Zhiqing cried out as soon as she took a bite. This is a steamed bun, it is clearly a stone!
Yan Haoyu comforted her in a funny way, "Qing'er, you can eat something to help your stomach. I'll take you to Jiahe Town in the evening to take you to eat something delicious." Naturally, it cannot be compared with the delicate steamed bread snacks at home.
Huo Zhiqing pouted and whispered, "That's the only way!"
The Huo brothers and Yan Haoyu often go out, and they are used to such rough food. They can even eat steamed buns. Just embarrassing a few young ladies here. Li Youyu kept frowning, but seeing that everyone had taken it, he reluctantly took one. After taking a bite, he swallowed it with difficulty, and did not take another bite.
Huo Zhiqing also reluctantly took a few mouthfuls, put down the steamed bun, and poured a few sips of tea before swallowing the steamed bun.
Lu Yi ate half of it, but she couldn't take it anymore. Although she was not a young lady, she had been a maid in Murong's house for five years, and she was always by her side. Even if it wasn't brocade clothing and jade food, it was a delicate dish. This steamed bun is really hard Throat below. Just as she was about to put it down, Murong Shuqing handed the tea in front of her and whispered gently, "Lvyi, eat more, or you will be hungry later."
"Yeah." Taking the tea, looking at the half-eaten steamed bun in the lady's hand, Lu Yi nodded, drank the tea, and continued to eat.
It's not that Murong Shuqing didn't see Lu Yi's difficult expression. It was the first time she ate this thick and multi-grain steamed bun, and it was really hard to swallow. It was just that she was away from home, so she couldn't be too particular about it. Yesterday, she asked Yan Yu, tonight You may not be able to get to Jiahe Town, or it will be very late. If you don’t eat now, you will have to last for a day. The steamed buns are not delicious, but they can fill the stomach.
Huo Ziqi has been paying attention to Murong Shuqing all the way. When he was in the guest house last time, he knew that she was not ordinary. In the past two days, it seemed that she was worthy of being the head of the family. The guards are calm and reserved, and the maids are meticulous and gentle. Even when she walked into such a simple tea shed, she was equally at peace and at ease, as if walking into a gorgeous palace and a humble house, for her, there was no difference.
Seeing that they had almost eaten, in fact, only Murong Shuqing and her maid ate a steamed bun, Huo Zhiqing and Li Youyu basically did not eat, and even the maid next to Li Youyu did not eat anything, Huo Ziqi stood up, Said: "Okay, let's go!" They would be hungry soon, and they didn't know if they would be able to reach Jiahe Town at night.
Huo Zhiqing said coquettishly, "Brother, take a break!" Sister Murong's carriage was large and comfortable, but staying in it all day would be boring.
Patting her head, Huo Ziqi said gently, "Be obedient, if you don't leave, you will be sleeping in the wild tonight." Usually they ride horses, and they can go to Jiahe Town at night, but now there are two carriages, and the speed is too slow. few.
"Okay!" Huo Zhiqing felt reluctant to get into the car while rubbing her flat stomach.
Perhaps because of hunger, even the little sparrow closed his mouth and didn't speak much along the way. In the end, he couldn't hold it any longer and fell asleep on his side. Murong Shuqing took out the book on the lower table and casually flipped through the window.
It was already completely dark, and the road seemed very difficult to walk. After a few bumps, Huo Zhiqing woke up, slowly got up, opened the curtain, and shouted to the front, "Brother, how long will it take to arrive?! I'm tired and hungry!"
Huo Ziqi pulled the reins, approached the carriage, and said, "It will be there in two hours."
Huo Zhiqing became anxious when she heard it, she sat up straight, and shouted, "Two hours? No, no, no, I'm going to get out of the car and move about, my bones are going to freeze."
After staying in the carriage for a day, seeing her tired face, Huo Ziqi sighed in distress: "Okay, then take a rest and then go."
Miss Huo jumped out of the carriage, bent down and stretched her legs, shouting that she was tired and hungry. After sitting in the car for a day, Murong Shuqing was also tired. He got off the carriage and stretched his muscles a little in the woods by the roadside.
Lu Yi took the water and handed it to Murong Shuqing, "Miss, drink some water." Seeing how exhausted Miss Huo and Miss Li were, Lu Yi sighed secretly. Fortunately, Miss let her finish the steamed bun, and now she is not that bad. Hungry.
Murong Shuqing took it, took a sip, then leaned lazily against the tree trunk, letting Qingfeng lift her long hair. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare mountain night. Lu Yi stood quietly by the side, under the night wind and moonlight, the woods became more secluded.
She was still not used to riding in a carriage for a few days, and she missed the speed of the plane very much at this moment. Murong Shuqing turned her stiff neck and was about to move her arms when Yan Yu's low voice made her turn around. She only felt that the black shadow flickered in front of her, and Yan Yu flew in front of her and fought against the shadow. Before she could walk away, a cold, cold long sword was placed on her neck.
