Qingchuan History

Chapter 169: Walking Barefoot (Part [-])
Chunfeng became sluggish, in a trance for a while, and asked again in a murmur, "Ninth Brother, Shen Ji is leaving now, can he still be chased back?"

"Should be fine. Just,"

"only?"

"If this is true, she may not be able to come back alive."

Chunfeng's pale face became even paler, "Ninth brother, don't you want to arrest her and ask her?"

"Of course Shen Ji won't do anything. But as soon as they appear, Shangguan must understand that I have discovered the truth seven years ago. If this inference is all true, then it is a dead word. She may not be willing to come back alive. A past that I don’t want to look back on.”

"I'm going."

For 20 years, Gu Chunfeng has never spoken so firmly and forcefully.Those stubbornness in the past can only be regarded as capricious at best, and they are by no means unresistable as they are now.She stared at Gu Xinglang without blinking for a long time, as if her eyes would never swell, and she seemed to use this inexplicable way to punish herself, or someone else.

"Shen Ji has already set off."

"Then I'll go by myself."

"Gu Chunfeng."

The golden and precious Duke Qi mainly went out of the palace alone, and also went to the vast Qibei, which she had never been to, and she would get lost if she didn't go out of the city.So, of course, this is another willful statement of no importance.

"Ninth brother, those of us who are born with flowers are actually the loneliest. My mother and concubine have passed away for many years, and Xiao Mo is often in Xiling. Although the other brothers and sisters are all in harmony, they are not always together. Auntie," she bit The lips seemed to be mourning, and the expression and tone were far more complicated than mourning, "Or our father-killing enemy, but the time spent together, thousands of days and nights, at least, I want to see her for the last time." She hung down I closed my eyes, it seemed difficult to speak,
"Her relatives in this world are only me."

Gu Xinglang didn't get angry because of the words of accepting enemies as relatives.

He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Until someone is found, this matter should not be made public. So I asked Shen Ji to go in person. The elder sister has just left the Turning Lan Palace, and she should not have left the palace yet. You follow her back to the Xiangguo Mansion, let Ji Qi is going with you, there will be hidden guards following you. Ji Qi has his own way to contact Shen Ji. Remember, just keep your head on the road, don't startle the snake."

Pausing for a moment, he added: "Try to bring her back. Come back alive."

Gu Chunfeng always thought that the appearance of Jidu was the epitome of Daqi.

The carriage headed north, and the autumn scenery was everywhere, but all the towns that passed by had different styles and appearances, and they were not the same as Ji.This is the first real long-distance trip in her life, but it cannot be called a trip, it is more like chasing after her life.

So she carefully lifted a corner of the car curtain, and looked through the gap at the fleeting images that receded rapidly, without any joyful emotion of feeling free and free.

"How long?"

Finally arrived at a post station, it was already dark, Ji Qi exchanged his horse with his token, and stood by the cart to drink.

"Ancestor, you've asked me eight hundred times in less than three hours. I'm already running at full speed. Haven't you seen how tired the horse I just replaced is?"

"Can it be faster? Shen," considering Gu Xinglang's explanation, she changed her words: "Where are they?"

Ji Qi has been used to arguing with her for many years, and thought that he could choke for a few more rounds, just to relieve his fatigue. He never thought that the other party was not annoyed at all, and was very calm. He was bored for a while, and replied in a dull voice:
"I was in Qiancheng County an hour ago."

"Where is that? How far is it from us?"

Ji Qixin said that this person has no concept of geographical location and mileage, so it's useless to talk, he just rolled his eyes and said: "If they stop in Qiancheng County from now on, and we set off immediately, we can catch up in two hours. superior."

"So long? When we left from Jidu, he only set off for more than half an hour. But because you are much slower than them?"

Ji Qi was young and energetic, and hated others to say that he was inferior to others, so he immediately turned his face: "Are you kidding! I compared Shen Ji at the beginning of the year, and he was not much slower. He is six years older than me, and he has more experience. In time, Will be overtaken by me!"

Gu Chunfeng showed no expression, and said casually: "Can you keep your voice down? Can you not mention your name? I forgot all the explanations before departure? Besides, he is also four years older than my ninth brother, but they are both as fast." After speaking, Suddenly, I felt that it was meaningless to say these things, and wondered why I was so keen on chatting with people before, and waved my hand without waiting for the other party's reaction:

"Forget it. Have you rested? Can you go?"

Ji Qi was stunned again, and handed her a water bottle with a dark face: "I just poured it, don't you want to drink it?"

Gu Chunfeng stared at him.

"Don't worry, this is mine." He pointed to his waist, where another jug ​​was tied, "If it wasn't for my sister-in-law asking me to take care of you, and my lord and your brother telling me, I wouldn't bother to take care of you."

Chunfeng ignored his muttering, took it, didn't drink, raised his foot to get into the car, suddenly turned around and said:
"You just said that you are not much slower than him, so how could you be an hour and a half slower?"

"Sister, he is a horse, and we are a carriage! His horse only needs to carry one person, but our horse has to carry two people to a cart. My speed is already against the sky! It would have been much faster to pull a few more horses together. But," he looked around to make sure there was no one there, and said in a low voice, "How can such an ordinary carriage have the arrogance of four horses? It can be seen at a glance."

"Then don't use the car."

It was Ji Qi's turn to stare: "You know how to ride a horse? Then let me drive for so long?!"

"will not."

At this moment, Ji Qi only regrets that he has no beard and cannot complete the full action of blowing beard and staring: "Then tell me—" The other party is a princess after all, he is too rude, "Then why don't you use a car!"

"You take me."

Ji Qi was astonished as if he had seen a ghost.

"This, this won't work. I don't take people easily, especially women. If I want to take them, I only take her. And what is your identity, how dare I take it casually?"

Gu Chunfeng had already walked to the tall, dark horse, and stared back at him: "You were ordered to protect me to chase people. Let's go."

He set off in a hurry, Ji Qi only obeyed the order to escort Chunfeng to chase Shen Ji, and he didn't know anything at all.It was strange that she was abnormal all the way; at this time, her expression was solemn, serious like he had never seen before, as if the person standing beside the horse was not Gu Chunfeng.

Unable to refuse for a moment, he moved over slowly, hesitatingly said: "I can tell you, if you abandon the car now, it will be difficult to find it again. .”

"Stop talking nonsense. Go up."

He couldn't remember exactly how he got on the horse and how he pulled Chunfeng up.The black horse galloped wildly on the path where the grass could not be seen clearly, and there was no one around. Occasionally, there was a rustling sound from the lush grass. It was not known if it was a dark guard accompanying him along the way.

On the first day of November, the night wind was cold.

"You just said that if they stop in Qiancheng County, it will take two hours. But they can't stop, and we also abandoned the car. Now, how long will it take?"

Ji Qi leaned forward, his right hand holding the rein was relaxed, but his eyes were like a torch, focusing on the road ahead:

"It's not that complicated. You just need to know that from here to the Qiwei border, at our current speed, including the time to change horses halfway, it will take about eleven hours. He must arrive before us, and he will tell me then For the specific location, we will go directly to the destination and will not go wrong.”

After he finished speaking, he secretly wondered, why can't he tell the exact location now?Doesn't Shen Ji know where to go?
