Chapter 77
Six Hundred Miles Expedited (3)
"Miss…"
Xiao Zhi opened her mouth.
The dangerous valley road was blocked by heavy snow, and Uncle Hao and his escort team were trapped in the valley road for three whole days, and several bodyguards had frozen to death.
Last night, Uncle Hao and the others found a dangerous path in the mountains and forests that they could still walk on, so they took the risk. Fortunately, they got out of the dangerous valley path, but what followed was a disaster. A group of bandits suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests.
, robbed Uncle Hao and his escort car.
The bandits seemed to have been prepared and were waiting there for the passing merchants.
The Tianxuan Valley Road is inherently long and narrow, making it the easiest to set up ambushes. It is the only place that must be passed from Tianguguan County to Langjing.
During the Qin Dynasty, rogue incidents often occurred there, and the caravans in the past were robbed many times. The Prince of Qin personally led troops to suppress the bandits and eradicated the rogue strongholds in the area, so that the caravans were safe.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yunlang established Tianguguan County in the dangerous valley road, which was guarded by the local garrison.
Although there were still rogue bandits in recent years, they no longer dared to blatantly rob like this, let alone rob under the eyes of the Tianguguan County garrison, and rob her of the goods in the pavilion.
"Miss, the robbery of the goods in our booth this time is probably related to the snow disaster in Tianguguan County. Now that the escort car has been robbed, Uncle Hao and the others..."
His whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.
Xiao Zhi said seriously, walked to Yiying and held his hand.
Yiying glanced at Xiao Zhi and tightened her hand.
Su Rao's curled jade fingers also turned pale, and the ends of her eyes and eyebrows became even redder.
"Yisu, you stay in Langjing. Don't let Qin Niang know about this for now. Yiying and I will go to Tianguguan County."
However, in just a short moment, Su Rao's curled hands suddenly tightened.
Uncle Hao will be fine.
He strode out of the house and went straight to the stables in the backyard of the pavilion.
Yiying quickly caught up with him.
"Miss…"
Yi Su also wanted to follow, but Xiao Zhi held her back.
"Yisu, follow the arrangements of the young lady. Uncle Hao will be fine. The young lady in Langjing still needs you to cover up her absence."
Yisu pursed her lips tightly, but her steps stopped. Her eyes fell on Xiao Zhi. For a moment, her dropped hand tightly squeezed the dagger at her waist.
Miss…
Father…
…
The night falls.
The two horses left quickly before the key to Langjing City Gate was released.
The breeze stays inside.
Yunfeng also strode in again...
The stars were dotted, and the winter night wind was cold and blowing like a sharp blade.
The colorful colors shine in the winter night, falling into the Cloud Palace, but it is difficult to catch the eye at the moment when the lights in the Luan Tian Palace are transparent and the dragon lanterns are shining.
Emperor Yu convened the evening dynasty, and the ministers of third rank and above, General Hu, hurriedly entered the Cloud Palace.
An evening court is not over yet.
The evening wind in winter is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind blows across my face, which is painful.
In the mountains, two extremely fast figures jumped all the way like the wind, carrying them back layer by layer through the surrounding peaks and forests, and the cold wind swept through their clothes.
"Young Master, if we leave like this, if the Second Young Master goes to Qingfeng Residence and finds that you are not here..."
This sound entered Su Rao's ears as the night fell. Although Yiying was very worried about her father, if the second young master Zhi was allowed to leave like this...
Su Rao was dressed in white, not the red dress worn by Young Master Xiao. After all, Young Master Xiao had left long ago, and it would be too eye-catching to wear that outfit now.
"Yi Ying, don't say any more. You are the relatives I care about most. Qin Rao's only relatives in this world. Uncle Hao's life and death are uncertain now. How can I sit back and wait with peace of mind? Moreover, the second brother said that he will not care about me anymore.
, no matter what I do, not to mention Yunji, he will..."
The words seemed to be swallowed up by the cold night wind, but it seemed that they were not.
"He will help me cover up. Su Rao has never left Qingfengju."
"Miss…"
Yiying turned her head, looked at Su Rao through the bamboo hat, and spoke again:
"Miss is not someone who trusts others easily. Why do you trust Prince Jiyue so much?"
"I don't believe in Yunji."
Su Rao shook his head and didn't think about it for a moment.
"I believe that my second brother will be my best friend sincerely treating him for many years, and his character will never be bad. Since Yunji promised to be with me, he will definitely cover up for me, otherwise he will not agree."
After Su Rao said this, Yiying said nothing more. Although he had never seen Prince Jiyue's demeanor, he had heard many rumors about him.
The scenery is as bright as the moon, the beauty is astonishing, and the breeze is like a bright moon.
Zhilan Yushu gentleman.
Such people should disdain villains.
He drove all night and worked hard.
From Langjing to Tianguguan County, take the small mountain road and walk non-stop. It takes two days and nights to reach the Tianxian Valley Pass.
The two of them did not take the official route.
Taking the official road would not only prolong the time, but also face interrogation of official documents at various passes along the way. They did not have so much time to waste, and taking the small mountain road would save time, and they could reach Tianguguan County as quickly as possible, reducing unnecessary
Trouble.
Even if the stars are bright on a winter night, the wind is blowing coldly.
Su Rao and Yi Ying both wore big cloaks and bamboo hats to block the cold, and their horse hooves quickly trampled across the path.
The snow in the mountains is flying.
Twilight passed quickly all around.
Mountains, rivers, and forest trails.
The night falls quickly, like a shooting star, fleeting.
After running around all night, even if people are not tired, horses will be tired. The sky has not yet seen the morning light, between darkness and dawn. At dusk, Su Rao and Yi Su stopped near a stream and took a short rest.
Then continue on your way.
This small stream flows from the mountain forest. It has already frozen during the winter moon. The ice surface is smooth and translucent, like a translucent mirror, slightly dispersing the hazy early frost and fog this morning.
He tied the reins, dug a hole in the shadow to draw water, and lit a fire.
It illuminates the foggy and frosty forest.
The cold body was only slightly warmed.
"Sir, eat first."
He took out the dry food from the package and handed it to Su Rao. Su Rao was not squeamish, so he directly took the dry food, drank it with the boiling stream water, and chewed it.
"Yiying, let's eat quickly and leave early after eating."
With a muffled voice, Su Rao looked around while eating.
The creek is surrounded by dense mountains and forests, and the fallen snow has not yet melted. At this moment, there is frost and fog in the early morning, and the vast mist is white. When you see the close view, the white snow with bits of green intersect and blend together, in the winter forest.
The scenery is wonderful.
When I looked farther away, I couldn't see clearly, and my eyesight was obscured by the morning fog and frost.
The entire forest was silent except for the whistling sound of the cold wind. There was not a single trace of an animal. They were all probably sheltering from the cold in the cave. At this moment, the only ones panting were the two of them and the two horses.
Yiying nodded and chewed heavily.
The morning breeze broke through, but the half-moon was still in the sky. It had not yet exchanged positions with the morning sun. However, the morning fog and frost had been dispelled, and the haziness in the vision was blown away by the morning wind.
Su Rao and Yi Su finished their breakfast, packed up their packages and prepared to continue on their way. As soon as they took off their reins, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away in the forest, getting closer and closer.
Tap tap tap…
Su Rao and Yiying immediately looked at each other, and then their eyes became wary.
So early in the morning, who was taking a small road like them?
