Chapter 281

In the early morning, the city gate of Beidi had just opened. On a snowy day, a few people who entered the city quickly got into the city gate hole with their hands and feet to escape the wind and snow.

In this way, the green shed car parked at the gate of the city, and the people standing beside the car and looking into the distance, became the most abrupt scenery.

Seeing the people standing at the city gate from a distance, Hong Ying quietly withdrew the horse to the side of Yan Qing's carriage, raised his hand and tapped lightly on the window sill of the carriage.

The people in the carriage who were not asleep at all sighed inaudibly after hearing the knocking sound.

Guo Jia, who was leaning on one side, woke up when she heard the movement, saw Yan Qing's expression, and smiled at her, "Are you also afraid at times?"

Yan Qing ignored her, leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes again.

On the other side, when the horse team reached the gate of the city, Qin Mang reined in the horse, looked at Nanny Qi beside the cart, and asked in a low voice, "It's so early in the morning, what are you waiting here for?"

"I've seen the general."

Nanny Qi greeted Qin Mang first, and then said, "Madam heard that the young lady has arrived in Beidi today, so she specially asked the servants to come to the gate of the city to welcome her."

Qin Mang was not very happy when he heard this, and felt a little funny, "The old man went to pick it up in person, and she is afraid that I won't let her granddaughter go home?"

After hearing this, Nanny Qi echoed Qin Mang with a smile, and said, "Madam said, you don't understand Miss's temper and methods. If she doesn't send someone, Miss might not really go back."

Although the person who spoke in front spoke softly for fear of disturbing her rest, Yan Qing, who had never been able to fall asleep at all, listened clearly at this moment.

Not only she heard it, everyone inside and outside the car could hear it, except for the one at the end of the line who was far away, they all heard it.

Several people who knew Yan Qing's plan in the morning all looked at the carriage she was in from the corner of their eyes.

Qin Mang looked over suspiciously, just in time to supervise this scene, before he could figure out what to do, a shout came from the gate of the city.

"Old General Qin!"

In the loud voice, with a bit of panting, the snow on the city gate was shaken off, "You are back!"

Qin Mang immediately stared, and yelled at the person coming, "Slow down!"

The visitor was puzzled, but immediately covered his mouth, ran a few steps in front of Qin Mang's horse, and said out of breath, "Something has happened! The magistrate is looking forward to you!"

Qin Mang frowned, "What happened?"

"Didn't it snow a few days ago? Laogaozhuang, Lizitun'er, and the villages in Heyuan County all suffered catastrophe!"

The visitor spoke in a hurry, and the white air he spit out could not even be blown away by the cold wind in the north, "The people sent by the government to rescue are also trapped inside. My lord, there is nothing I can do. I just ask you to send troops to Give me a hand and save everyone!"

"Didn't you say earlier that this year's snow is so heavy that people have to evacuate? Why are there still trapped?"

When Qin Mang said this, the out of the corner of his eye fell on the carriage where Yan Qing was, "Even if you are trapped, why don't you just ask Wei Hao directly? Before I left, I told him to take charge of the matter, and this matter will also be handled by the committee." You prefects, what did you come to stop me at the city gate?"

"Hey, old general, don't mention it! General Wei is so busy these days that he can't see anyone. Don't talk about helping out, it would be great if he didn't make trouble!"

As soon as someone patted his thigh, he came to lead Qin Mang's horse, "Human life is at stake, let's talk as we walk!"

Qin Mang shook the reins, avoided the man's hand, turned around and shouted behind him, "Give him a horse!"

Immediately someone dismounted and put on the reins.

Qin Mang ordered two more people, pointing at Yan Qing and the others, "Send the Defense Envoy back to the General's Mansion. I won't see anyone when I come back, but you are the only ones asking!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Mang took his people, beat horses and left with the people from Beidi Yamen.

Qin Mang left someone behind to cup his fists at Hongying, "Please, everyone, follow me back to the General's Mansion."

Hongying coughed lightly, and said slowly and almost procrastinatingly: "The defense envoy enters the city and stays in the general's mansion, isn't it in compliance with the rules?"

The leader of the two laughed, "Anyone else would be a bit out of order. But if it's Defense Envoy Yan, there's nothing out of order."

As he said that, he also bowed towards the carriage where Yan Qing was, and raised his voice, "Please also defend the envoy Yan, don't make things difficult for me!"

Hongying turned her head around, raised her hand again and knocked on the window sill of the carriage a few times, then paced around, looking at the sky and the ground, but she stopped looking at the people nearby, and she almost didn't care about things. the meaning of.

Inside the car, Guo Jia looked at Yan Qing, who was dozing off, and said, "Since you're back, can you still hide? Even if you stay outside to recuperate, Mrs. Hou should be worried about not losing a penny. It's better to go back with peace of mind, being close by will make her feel more at ease."

Yan Qing lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, muttering, "Nurse Qi has come to stop people at the gate of the city, can I still hide?"

Almost as soon as Yan Qing finished speaking, Hongying outside the car started to set off again with the cavalry.

This made Yan Qing shrank his neck somewhat depressed, and buried his whole body in the quilt, like a tortoise unwilling to face the truth.

Guo Jia was afraid that she would bore him, so he reached out to pick it up, but just opened it a little, but he hid a little bit inside.

Seeing a person who has always been calm and calm suddenly make such a childish behavior, Guo Jia couldn't laugh or cry for a while, so she had to let her go.

Yan Qing, who shrank himself into the quilt like a tortoise, was thinking about how to tell his mother to reassure her a little, but he couldn't get over it no matter what he thought.

She was thinking of resting in the post house for a few days, at least she didn't see any serious problems before going back, she didn't want to be seen through by her mother halfway and cut off.

Now she just wants to pretend to be okay, and she is afraid that she will be seen through at a glance.

On the swaying carriage, Yan Qing was thinking vaguely, and finally his consciousness sank into chaos, as if he was thinking about thousands of things like a mess, but also seemed to have nothing to think about like nothingness.

When she woke up again, she was already lying in the Shanhai Residence of the General's Mansion.

The candles were dimly lit, the couch was soft, and the brazier was burning vigorously, making her covered in sweat.

The person resting on the window sill in front of the bed woke up when she turned her head and touched the brocade quilt. When she looked at her, her sleepy eyes were shining brightly, with tears of mixed joy and sorrow, "You It can be regarded as waking up!"

Just this sentence made Yan Qing's heart skip a beat, "How long have I been asleep?"

The voice that came out was dry and harsh, like the breath of a person who was about to die, only vaguely audible.

The person guarding her bed understood, and carefully lifted her up, stuffed a cushion behind her, handed a glass of clean water of just the right temperature, and brought it to her mouth to watch her drink, while saying: "You fell into a coma for three or two days, and the high fever came and went again and again. It's really frustrating. Fortunately, you're awake now, and you're fine."
