Chapter 755: We can still drive another five hundred miles
These words were naturally just words of comfort, and Aunt Lan would not understand, but she still smiled and nodded: "I am waiting at home for the princess to come back soon, I will still..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of something and simply swallowed the second half of his words.
Xie Songhua and Xiao Yu sat across from each other and ate two bowls of noodles, then immediately went back to their rooms to change clothes.
Since he was going out, he couldn't do what he was doing in the capital right now. Xie Songhua changed into light men's clothes, and so did Cuiliu.
The carriages and horses outside were already waiting in the alley. Xie Songhua looked at it and said, "Your Majesty...can you take me to ride with you?"
"No!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of how she rode a horse several times. "If something goes wrong, it will waste time even more."
Xie Songhua felt a little embarrassed when he saw his thoughts at a glance, but still said seriously: "If it doesn't work, how about we buy another carriage along the way?"
It only takes two days to go from the capital to Datong at a quick pace, but if you are dragging a carriage, it is completely uncertain.
Time is urgent now, and Xie Songhua doesn't want to be the one who drags him down.
Xiao Yu naturally understood what she was thinking, and hesitated for a while before saying: "You come with me!"
Cuiliu followed Xiaoqing without hesitation, and when Xie Songhua looked over, she nodded with certainty.
Even if it hurts, I can only endure it. At worst, I will lie down somewhere for a few days.
Otherwise, how can you say that Cuiliu is considerate?
I actually hurriedly made two soft cushions that could be used to sit under my buttocks. Although the effect was limited, it was better after all.
Xiao Yu was wearing an indigo t-shirt, his hands were tied, and his face was expressionless. At first glance, he looked very serious.
Sitting in front of him, Xie Songhua felt a rare sense of peace of mind.
As she said yesterday, as long as we can be together, anything is good.
The streets of Beijing were still quiet at this early morning, with no pedestrians at all, and the shop doors were tightly closed. Only a few shops selling breakfast had bursts of white steam coming out, adding a bit of fireworks.
After speeding all the way to the north of the city, as soon as they arrived, they saw that the city gate was already open. Apparently someone had already come here to say hello.
Xiao Yu raised his whip and ran out.
The feeling of riding a horse was really bad. Xie Songhua tightened the saddle as much as possible, adjusted his center of gravity, and then gritted his teeth and persisted without saying a word.
In fact, this is somewhat dangerous, she knows this in her heart, but she is afraid.
Relatively speaking, she is afraid of changes in the capital.
If the city gate is closed, if some kind of order is suddenly issued from the palace, she doesn't know how to resist. She is not Xiao Yu, she does not have that kind of planning ability, but she is Xiao Yu's wife, and she is afraid of such a situation.
.
Even though she is not a liberal arts student, even though she does not understand the bloody history thoroughly, how can she not understand the fragile life behind those few sentences in the history textbook?
Now that he had agreed to let her ride with him and agreed not to be a burden, Xiao Yu didn't say anything and just galloped all the way.
After walking for about twenty miles, the sun finally dawned. There were farmlands on both sides. Hard-working farmers were already working in the fields. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they couldn't help but look over here curiously. Several people gathered together.
Discussing together.
But these images all passed by in a flash and did not stay for a moment longer.
Lunch was even simpler, just finding a flat place to get off the horse, grabbing some dry food and drinking some water, and then we had lunch.
Xie Songhua's face turned pale and she felt like she was about to be knocked apart. However, she just gritted her teeth and did not shout a word. Then she took the steamed bun handed over by Xiao Qing and forced herself to eat most of it with water.
Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xiao Yu wasn't paying attention, he secretly injected himself with a few needles, and then he felt that the breath that had been surging in his chest was suppressed.
She must hold back.
At this time, news came from the capital. Xie Songhua knew that Xiao Yu would not show it to her, so she did not go over and rested against a tree.
From this angle, he could see Xiao Yu's expression.
Even though this person always seems to have a paralyzed face and doesn't show his emotions easily.
But the two of them have been together for so long, and Xie Songhua can also see a little bit of his emotions from the subtle changes in his expression.
For example, at this time, he might not even have noticed that there was a shallow wrinkle between his eyebrows.
Therefore, it is obvious that there is also movement in the capital.
fortunately!
She thought to herself, fortunately everyone set off early.
I don't know if it was because of the letter from the capital, but after Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, he immediately issued an order for everyone to set off immediately.
Cuiliu's face turned pale, but she said nothing and followed Xiaoqing into the carriage in silence.
Xiao Yu looked at her face carefully and felt a little worried, "Are you sure it can be done?"
Xie Songhua nodded seriously, "When you were not at home, I tried asking Xiaoqing to take me to train together. Don't you think I'm much better this time than last time?"
Judging from the look on her face, she is indeed much better than before, even much better than Cuiliu.
So he didn't say much and continued on his way in silence.
This time I didn’t even stop in the evening, and even went straight to a forest to rest at night.
It can be seen that they are very familiar with this journey. The people under Xiao Yu even know where to find water and where to make a fire.
I have walked this road back and forth countless times.
There is no moon tonight, but the stars are extremely bright. Xie Songhua sat on the root of an old tree and looked at the stars in the sky. He felt a little sad but also felt inexplicably happy.
Most of the things in life are accidents plus accidents.
However, being able to drink a sip of hot soup under such circumstances is truly a blessing in life.
Xiao Yu was still dealing with official matters, and the Jin Yiwei who was following him was busy delivering letters everywhere. Some things seemed a bit difficult, and she could see Xiao Yu's dilemma.
Xie Songhua sometimes feels that as a time traveler, he is too weak and cannot help at the critical moment.
But now her mentality is gradually weakening, probably because she has integrated into this world and regards herself as a person of this world.
After sealing the last letter, Xiao Yu finally finished dealing with the trivial matters and walked straight towards her, with a slight apology on his face, "What do you think?"
"We can still drive another five hundred miles!"
Her words made Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile, and he lightly tapped her nose, "Only four hundred miles left!"
"Is it over so soon?" Xie Songhua's tone was obviously intentional, and he even sighed, "Such a romantic trip ended like this."
Although everyone knew that she said this on purpose, Xiao Yu was still amused by her, "We will start the next journey soon, are you ready?"
"Um?"
Just as he was talking, Xiao Qing brought a bowl of soup over and said, "Princess, please drink the soup first. Steamed buns are already being baked over there."
After a while, Xie Songhua knew what fast meant. The speed of everyone could no longer be described as fast. In just a moment, the hastily prepared food was swept away by them like wind and lingering clouds.
Then I packed up my things quickly, everything was in order, and it was almost uncompressed.
Then Xiao Yu smiled and said to her: "We are about to start the romantic journey you mentioned again, get on your horse!"
Xie Songhua said in surprise: "You don't want to sleep?"
"We'll arrive in Datong tomorrow morning. We'll go to bed then."
