On the way to Fuyang, Jinxin always felt that his master was absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After following her for so long, this was the first time I saw her so distracted.
"Master, we can reach Fuyang City tomorrow." Jinxin said while pulling the reins.
Chu Qingyan nodded, "Hurry up, you can reach Fuyang in just one day, but it may take three days for us to return to Jiangnan by then."
"The son needs a night's rest, will he leave tomorrow morning?" Xu Yi asked.
Chu Qingyan felt amused when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Xu Yi, touched her chin and said, "Do you think my skin and tender flesh can't stand up to bumps?"
Xu Yi felt embarrassed to be seen through, he quickly shook his head, "My subordinates don't dare."
"Xuyi, you guys are too underestimated. Before, she hurried to intercept the enemy in the rainstorm for three days and three nights, and she never frowned. This is just a trivial matter. You can do your own business with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about your son's affairs. ." Liu Guang said with a smile on the side.
Chu Qingyan curled her lips into a smile, and then ordered, "Hurry up and make sure to reach the next town before dark to supply food and grass."
"Yes."
Dozens of people, each riding a horse, were taking the path and heading forward quickly. In the gradually darkening evening, like a black cloud, it quickly swept the earth.
At this time, the two figures each led a horse and walked slowly towards Fuyang.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves passed from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.
"Young Master, those people don't seem to be weak in martial arts. I don't know what kind of people they belong to!" The people who followed behind put their hands on their foreheads to look from afar, smacking their tongues.
"Zimo, do you think the boy in red in front of you looks familiar?" The lazy voice was hoarse, pure, and faintly trembling.
"Who is it?" The person who was asked looked blank.
"Even though it's been five years, that familiar feeling..."
Those phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a bright dark light flashed through them.
"Familiar feeling?" He was a little confused.
As soon as the words fell, the master beside him had already led the horse, jumped up, and swung the whip towards the pedestrian.
"Young Master, where are you going, wait for your subordinates!" Xuanxi Zimo immediately jumped on the horse's back, and started running.
When catching up with his master, Xuanxi Zimo looked curious, "Master, who did you see?"
Could it be—
Five years? The boy in red? Familiar feeling
Could it be her
But the master beside him pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was very complicated, like he was pleased and like he was afraid, afraid of guessing right and afraid of guessing wrong!
The girl who has been hidden in her master's heart for five years.
Dongting Wangyu's eyes were locked tightly in front of him, and since he encountered it, don't lose it.
"quick!"
Chu Qingyan, who didn't know that she was already being targeted, happened to have arrived at this town called Luzhen at this time. Because there were more horses, the town was relatively small, and the inn was not big enough for people, so they were divided into two. After resting at an inn, having supper and feeding the horses, they assemble outside the city and start their journey again.
"Master, Liu Guang and Ma Yan took fifteen people to rest at the Little Deer Inn not far ahead." Jin Xin received the news from Liu Guang and immediately reported it.
Chu Qingyan nodded when she heard the words, and asked Jinxin to order by the way.
They went out this time with a total of 30 strong riders from Jiangnan, and a dozen others stayed in the bank, because they themselves were stewards and other civil servants, only these 30 were the secret guards who usually guarded the bank. Wei and Ming Wei.
They also had fifteen valiant knights in the inn, and they were scattered in every corner of the inn, eating in a low-key manner.
"Believe me, tonight we will take the official road. Tomorrow, we will take the official road and take the small road." Chu Qingyan pondered for a while before saying.
Although they are not doing shady deeds, but after all, they are all born in fierce riding, although these three words are not written on their bodies, but so many people are sent out to hurry, they are always eye-catching, if there are people with sharp eyes and good deeds, said Not sure what will come out.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Chu Qingyan arranged it like this.
"Okay." After being with the master for a long time, I believe that I can also guess her intentions.
"Believe me, eleven, eighteen, the three of you should also sit down to eat! After eating, let everyone rest for half an hour, and then we will continue on our way." Chu Qingyan greeted them and sat down.
The three sat down obediently, and when the food was just on the table, Jinxin suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Master, do you feel like someone has been paying attention to our table?"
Chu Qingyan took the chopsticks for a while, and looked in the direction Jinxin's fingers pointed on the table.
As night fell, the county government gate in Lucheng was closed, and the county magistrate was yawning as he was about to return to the residence, when suddenly three or four men in black appeared in front of him.
Sleepy Worm was instantly terrified.
"Who are you, who are you? How did you get in here? Someone!" The county magistrate was so frightened that he sat down on his seat, his face turned pale, and his body trembled as he looked at these uninvited visitors.
"Shut up, look at this thing first!" The man in black shouted impatiently, then took out a token from his arms and showed it to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was a little unconvinced when he first saw the token, and immediately rubbed his eyes. After taking a closer look, he immediately rolled down from the chair and knelt down on his stomach, "Wei, Weichen have eyes but no pearls, collided a few times, A few adults, please forgive me!"
"Just know the brand, get up." The headed man in black put away the token.
"I don't know how many adults suddenly came to this county. What's the business? Do you need the cooperation of the lower officials?"
"There is an order from above, let me wait to hunt down a few important fugitives, and now these people are escaping to your Lucheng, so please cooperate with adults, and now close the city gate immediately, I will wait for the turtle to be caught in the urn!" The headed man in black said indifferently.
"It turned out to be chasing down fugitives, the subordinate officials must cooperate, and now order to close the city gate!" The county magistrate immediately bowed, called a yamen, and immediately gave the order, and the yamen took the order and left.
"Do you have any other orders, sir?" The county magistrate turned and asked attentively.
The headed man in black said coldly, "This matter is carried out in secret, I hope you don't leak the news, no matter how much noise there is tonight, the people in your county government will treat it as ignorant, otherwise - I'll wait for the word. That's it, do it yourself."
The county magistrate was so frightened that his legs softened, and he almost knelt down again.
After speaking, a few men in black left the county office.
"Which inn is he in?"
"At the Roe Deer Inn, some of her people are in the Little Deer Inn, which is of great benefit to us."
"Okay, I'll do it tonight when I'm ugly! The master explained that we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!"
"Yes."
