urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 96 Nightmare 4
For Mu Zhaozhao, although riding a horse was very bumpy, and his hips and thighs were also uncomfortable, it was still more tolerable than sitting in a carriage.

The sunshine in August is warm but not dazzling. Although the wind blowing on her face is a bit cool, but she is wearing a lot of clothes, so she doesn't feel cold.

At the beginning, Mu Zhaozhao felt that men and women were not close to each other, so he straightened his waist reservedly.

About a quarter of an hour later, she leaned into the arms of the man behind her, comforting herself. Anyway, no one else saw her, so she could do whatever she felt comfortable with.

Boudoir is not suitable for eating or drinking, if he wants to marry himself, then he can marry him, at least this man is also good-looking, and he looks good to him now.

If he dislikes that he came from a small family and wants to accept him if he doesn't want to marry, then let him pretend that he doesn't know him.

Anyway, in her memory, she has already been married to two husbands, and it is not difficult for her to accept another marriage.

At first, Qin Mu noticed that the little girl's body was tense, and he really wanted to say that it would be uncomfortable, and wanted her to feel more comfortable relying on himself.

But after thinking about it, Qin Mu still didn't say anything, lest she misunderstand that he wanted to take advantage.

After that, when she really leaned into his arms, that soft body rushed into his nose with a faint fragrance, making him tense up uncomfortably.

He is not an eunuch, although he is not married yet, but he has heard a lot from soldiers and colleagues who are thinking about the mother-in-law at home, or about the concubines in the mansion, or talking endlessly about the romance in the place of fireworks. past.

At that time, he was impatient to hear it, and felt that as a man, he was not thinking about making achievements, but only thinking about that, which was really useless.

Now it's his turn to have a beautiful woman in his arms, as if he understands what it means to be a hero with short breath and love with children.

At this moment, he only wants to protect the sweet girl in his arms, to shield her from the wind and rain, to soothe the sorrow in her brows and eyes, and to put her...

After all, he is young and energetic. Once some thoughts pass in his mind, they will take root and sprout in his heart uncontrollably. In the end...he blushed secretly glad that his cousin didn't find the clue, otherwise he would really be ashamed to see others up.

He turned his attention to the eldest uncle, and then slowly calmed down.

Qin Mu led her forward on horseback, and indeed left the carriage behind.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he reined in the horse to stop the horse slowly, looked around and said: "It's not convenient to ride a horse when it's dark, let's come down and have a rest, wait for Yun Xiao to catch up."

Mu Zhaozhao couldn't wait: "Okay, I feel like my whole body has been torn apart."

After Qin Mu hugged her and got off the horse, he helped her to sit down on the grass that looked fairly clean, and when he came over with the water bag and dry food that he brought with him, he saw Mu Zhaozhao had fallen to the ground.

"Zhao Zhao..." Qin Mu was taken aback when he saw it, and thought she had passed out, so he immediately put down his things and tried to help her.

"Don't touch me, I'm fine, I just feel more comfortable lying down."

Mu Zhaozhao immediately stopped him, if he wasn't there, she would have wanted to lie down more casually instead of curling up on her side like this.

When Qin Mu heard this, he was a bit embarrassed and kept silent for a while, before he said, "Why don't we hurry up at night and leave tomorrow?"

Although he was worried about the safety of his uncle and the others, he couldn't bear to see her suffer so much.

"It's okay! I'm fine." Mu Zhaozhao smiled wryly: "Anyway, the carriage won't go fast at night, so I shouldn't feel bad."

"Then why don't you drink some water and have some pastries first?" Qin Mu looked at her worriedly: "You haven't eaten anything all day, your body will not be able to bear it."

Mu Zhaozhao thought so, so he ate a few pieces of jujube cake and Poria cocos cake with water, and found a hidden place to change his clothes, and felt the temperature drop at night.

She simply wrapped herself in a cloak and lay down on the ground again.

She was really tired today, she closed her eyes and rested for a while, but fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up again, she found that she was already lying in the quilt on the carriage, and she could feel the carriage driving slowly.

It was still pitch black in the carriage, which made her a little scared, so she called out tentatively: "Cousin, are you there?"

"Well, I'm here." Qin Mu's voice came from outside, and after a while he came in with a lantern in his hand, and asked thoughtfully, "Is it motion sickness, or do you need to change clothes? It's still dark outside, if you If you want to change clothes, I will accompany you."

"..." Mu Zhaozhao was stunned when he heard that, you asked so directly, did you ever think that I would be shy?

But looking at him waiting for his answer seriously, it seemed that if he said yes, he would stop the carriage.

"No!" Mu Zhaozhao changed the subject: "Didn't you rest for a while?"

Qin Mu is very narcissistic and thinks that she is caring about herself: "Yun Xiao and I take turns to go on the road, and we can just rest for a while. It is estimated that it is almost Yin time now. You can sleep for another hour, and we will ride on the road after dawn."

He also wanted to feel sorry for Zhaozhao, but now that uncle and the others are in a more dangerous situation, he can only let her suffer first.

Thinking that she had slept for a long time, he tentatively asked in a low voice, "Did you dream about uncle and aunt?"

"..." Mu Zhaozhao blinked his eyes: "I seem to have had a dream, but I can't remember it clearly, but I remember being very tired, as if I was running all the time."

This is normal. Under normal circumstances, people do not remember dreams after waking up.

She was a little worried that he didn't believe his words and felt that he was hiding her.

Anyway, after she finished speaking, she felt that she was a little careless. The life and death of her parents were uncertain, but she fell asleep.

So he hurriedly said: "I'll squint for a while, maybe I'll be able to dream of them."

"Don't force yourself." Qin Mu was also afraid that she would think that he was trying to force her to dream, so he explained in a low voice: "I suspect that the reason you dreamed about uncle and the others having an accident is because they are really in danger. Dreaming about them, it should mean that they are out of danger."

Of course, there were worse possibilities, and he didn't dare to speak out for fear of frightening her.

But even if something happened to the uncle and the others, he would take them back and avenge them.

...

The stars and the moon in the sky are gradually disappearing, and the sky is turning white.

The rays of the sun leap out from the east, gradually dyeing the surrounding clouds red, and the sun comes with the breeze.

Mu Zhaozhao originally opened the curtain on the car window to look at the wide but unfamiliar place outside, but he was also shocked by the natural beauty of the cloud breaking and sunrise.

At this time, Qin Mu opened the curtain and came in: "Taiping County is not far ahead, let's go there by carriage?"

"Taiping County?" Mu Zhaozhao didn't expect to arrive at another small county town so soon, and asked a little nervously, "Cousin, my parents and the others have been away for three days, so I'm afraid they won't stay here?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "The eldest uncle walked with his aunt, and he wouldn't walk too fast because of his body. We didn't stop all day and night, so it should be worth their three-day journey."

"You're right," Mu Zhaozhao looked outside nervously, "Let's go and find out."

When I came to the gate of the city, I saw more people carrying loads and pushing wheelbarrows.

Yun Xiao was driving a carriage, and there were two horses beside the carriage, and his face was new, so he attracted more attention.

The guard at the gate asked cautiously, "Where did you come from?"

Yun Xiao took out his master's brand name and threw it to him, with a sullen face, cherishing words like gold: "There is something to do!"

Xishan Daying was a well-known place in the Daqing Dynasty, and it can be said that the imperial guards were all selected from it.

Therefore, when the little official saw that it was the signboard of Xishan Daying, he immediately handed it to him with both hands, and said respectfully: "My lord, I will offend you so much, please come inside."

At this time, Qin Mu also lifted the curtain of the carriage, waved to the little official, and asked when he came over, "Is there peace in Taiping County recently? Is there a Four Seas Inn inside?"

The little official also thought wrongly, thinking that he was someone sent by the superiors to investigate, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he told everything he knew: "My lord is here to investigate the case, right? In the past, our emperor The town below is also safe and sound."

"But the night before last, the Four Seas Inn suddenly caught fire, and several nearby shops were also burned down."

"Twelve people also died in the Four Seas Inn. When the fire is extinguished, those people will be completely changed by #..."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard the little official's words, he felt nervous and fearful, feeling guilty and short of breath, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

Now she only hoped that among the twelve people, none of them was known to her.

After listening to the little official's words, Qin Mu remained calm on the surface, but he was also extremely shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Zhao Zhao to be able to dream of a place thousands of miles away, and the scene of the big uncle and the others having an accident.

After the little official finished speaking, he handed the little official a ten tael silver note: "Thank you for letting me know, you can take this to have a drink."

The little official didn't expect this lord to be so generous, ten taels of silver was worth his three months' salary, his eyes lit up, and his attitude became even more considerate: "My lord, there is a caravan passing by on the first day of August, and the other party also has The person got sick and is still living in the Lucky Inn.”

"On the second day of August, a team of bodyguards also came over. It seems that they are going to rest for two days, and they are staying at the Welcome Inn."

"But then something happened at the Four Seas Inn, and the caravan and bodyguard team were detained by the magistrate."

"If your lord comes to investigate the case, you can go to the county government first to ask."

"Thank you for letting me know." Qin Mu nodded, knocked on the wall of the car to signal Yun Xiao to drive the car into the city gate.

Mu Zhaozhao asked him nervously: "Cousin, tell me, is everything that little official said true?"

"Nine times out of ten it's true." Qin Mu also noticed that she was fidgeting, so he talked to her a little more, trying to ease her mood: "Actually, no matter where it is, the guards of the city gates are very bright-eyed. of."

"They will see any new faces coming in and out."

"Don't they all say that money can turn ghosts around? What he said before is quite satisfactory. After we go in, we can find someone to find out."

"But after I gave him ten taels of silver, he told me what he saw."
