Along the way, there was Cangmu to take care of me, Xiaojia and I could rest easy.
Cangmu not only didn't urge us to hurry, but everything put comfort first. For example, in order for me to be less bumpy, Cang Mu insisted on abandoning the small road and proceeding slowly from the official road, and this way, the trip was bound to be delayed.
However, Cang Mu was not in a hurry at all. Whenever I asked, he would always block me back with the phrase "as ordered by the lord".
What the hell is Beichen Shaoyuan doing! Sending me out to look for witnesses and letting me waste my time on the road is not clearly a problem.
One evening, we were staying at the largest inn in town, and I leaned against the window rail, watching the crowds on the street.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper's child was playing a game of rolling iron rings with a group of friends. In order to increase the difficulty, the vendors on the street became their obstacles, and they moved forward one by one, and they had a lot of fun.
I looked at it in a trance, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I shouted "No!"
I hurried to find Cang Mu, and I questioned him with a livid face.
"You're procrastinating on purpose, aren't you?"
But Cang Mu remained expressionless and refused to say a word.
"Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb!" I said angrily, "Actually, there is no such person I'm looking for!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Cangmu's face, and then he returned to calm, and this little turbulence made me more sure of my guess.
"Since you left Nanhuai, you have been following us secretly! I have never understood why we were robbed of Phoenix Village at that time, but you didn't help." I watched his face turn pale and continued, " I didn't expect this to be in your favor, as long as we don't have an accident, you will be happy for us to waste time in Fenghuang Village!"
After I finished speaking in one breath, I stopped to gasp, Cang Mu gave me a strange look, and finally spoke slowly.
"how do you know?"
"Because along the way, your name is protection, but you actually use various excuses to delay us! And this is to prevent me from finding that person, that person who doesn't exist at all!"
After Cang Mu was silent for a while, he actually let out a long sigh.
"Sure enough, it's not what the lord expected!"
"what?"
"Your Highness did instruct me to protect the two of you secretly, and to find a way to delay the time, so I didn't take action in Phoenix Village." Cang Mu paused, looking strangely authentic, "But Your Highness also said that Master Jun will definitely find me, Just asked me to slow down the two trips on the road."
"Why did he do this?" After hearing his affirmation, I was even more puzzled.
"The lord didn't say it, I don't know."
I thought about the whole thing again and again, but I always felt that something was wrong. Beichen Shaoyuan provided me with the information about the witness, and he deliberately delayed my time to find the witness and blocked me outside. correct! He won't let me go back to Nanhuai as soon as possible!
There must be something wrong with Nanhuai!
At this moment, my heart is in a mess. I have already said that I have participated in Huang Shangshu. Who wants to have trouble again. I know that the corruption forces in Nanhuai are intertwined and cannot be easily shaken.
The art of war has a cloud, and it is stopped by stillness. The first mover does not have the first opportunity.
In that cloud and waves, is it possible that Beichen Shaoyuan's single tree can support
Before I knew it, I was worried about him.
Concerns are messed up, I only have one thought left subconsciously, go back to Nanhuai!
"Pack up! Let's go back!"
"But..." "Now?"
"Yes! Immediately! Immediately!" I said decisively.
Cangmu and Xiaojia looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
I hurried back to my room to pack my things, pack my bags, and calm down a little, thinking that the decision just now was too impulsive.
Outside the inn, Cang Mu had prepared the carriage and waited for me to get on.
I grabbed him and said solemnly to both of them:
"Cang Mu, take Xiao Jia and continue to look for that witness, I'll go back to Nanhuai alone!"
"Master?" Xiaojia widened her eyes while carrying her bag.
"Scholar Jun didn't say that there is no such person?" Cang Mu also looked at me suspiciously.
"This is just my guess. None of us can see through the prince's thoughts. You should go and look for it!" Anyway, if there is such a person, it is best, and it will not take too long.
"Master, can I go back with you?" Xiaojia blinked pitifully, then glanced at the cold Cangmu again.
I understand what she means. She doesn't want to be with a big ice cube, but I don't even want her to be in danger. The situation in Nanhuai is unpredictable. During this time with Cangmu, you can at least be safe for the time being.
"No!" I interrupted her decisively, urging her to get in the car quickly.
Taking advantage of the interval between Cangmu pulling the horse, I held him down, glanced at the carriage, and whispered to him:
"Cang Mu, what the lord ordered you to do, I hope you will continue to do it!"
Cang Mu also turned to look at the carriage and nodded to me clearly, his assurance reassured me.
I turned around and got into another carriage, Cang Mu hesitated for a while, then stopped me again.
"Scholar Jun! Wang Ye... will there be any danger?"
"What do you think?" I gave him a bright smile.
He and I both understand that Beichen Shaoyuan is a person who will suffer from everyone in the world and neither will he. My smile also made Cang Mu feel at ease, he gave me a trusting smile and hit the road.
I pulled the curtain of the car, but my face sank. The words I comforted Cang Mu just now could not convince me to feel at ease. No matter how powerful Beichen Shaoyuan was, he was still a human being, not a god.
Hopefully I was wrong.
The moment the curtains were drawn down, the clouds in the distance were dark, and it was only early spring, but there were thunderstorms. This day was unusual.
In order to go back as soon as possible, I changed several carriages, traveled day and night, and drove continuously. When I was tired, I would curl up in the car and sleep for a while. I was so worried that I forgot my physical exhaustion.
Finally, I rushed back to Nanhuai, only half a month later, when I found that standing by the city gate of Nanhuai, I felt as if I had passed away.
What is more timid about being close to nostalgia, I seem to really regard Nanhuai as my home.
I didn't have time to go back, so I was in a hurry to inquire about the situation first. Looking around, there was an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes by the city gate. The smell made me hungry.
I took out the broken silver to buy sweet potatoes from him, and asked casually:
"Old man, has there been any major incident in this city recently?"
"Something happened?" The old man skillfully picked up the sweet potatoes and grinned at me, "What big thing can happen? The people who sell sweet potatoes still sell them!"
Hearing this, I finally let go of my heart that had been hanging for a few days, as long as nothing happened.
"Are you from out of town?" The old man handed me the sweet potato and looked me up and down again.
I also took a look at my body, and smiled, rushing for days to get rid of the dust.
"If there is something, there is also such a thing." The old man thought about it and said uncertainly, "It is said that a prince of some kind has been placed under house arrest!"
"What!" I was shocked, I choked when I ate a mouthful of sweet potato and swallowed neither spit nor spit.
"Don't worry!" The old man quickly patted me on the back and argued, "Maybe it was my family's Erya talking nonsense! Don't take it seriously!"
There is only one prince in Nanhuai!
My heart hangs again.
