Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 675 To Hwaseong

The next morning.

It was just dawn, and Xun Zeli, Shen Yuan, Wei Ying and others gathered outside Banyue Xiaozhu, ready to go, Zhao Afu took the horse and handed the reins to Su Rao, "Miss, you must take care of yourself when you go out, eat on time, eat early Rest..."

"There are some pre-marinated dried meat and preserved fruits inside. The young master put them in, and I also stuffed some commonly used medicines..."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Su Rao took the reins and got on the horse, interrupting his chatter, "Ah Fu, I will leave the family to you, take care of Master and Xiao Nan, and wait for me to come back."

Zhao Afu nodded hurriedly.

"Walk."

Su Rao turned the horse's head around without any further delay, and Xun Zeli and the others rode their horses one after another to follow. The sound of the horse's hooves broke through the early morning mist and disappeared at the end of the long street.

Standing outside the mansion and watching for a while.

It was not until the sound could not be heard that Zhao Afu turned around full of thoughts and prepared to go back to the house. Before he took two steps, there was another sound of horseshoes.

He stopped and looked back in astonishment.

But this time it came from another direction, the voice approached in an instant, and when Ban Yue Xiaozhu hurriedly reined in, Zhao Afu stared in surprise and said, "My lord."

"What about your lady?"

As soon as Yan Yun came out of the palace, after returning to the mansion, he heard Jingchen talk about leaving the capital, so he hurried over without even having time to change his clothes.

Zhu Yan and Qi Chi followed behind him.

Zhao Afu said anxiously: "Just now, I couldn't make it to a cup of tea, but now my son is chasing after him, maybe he can still catch up."

"drive!"

With a whip and a horse, several people chased after him.

As a result, after exiting the South City Gate, only a few black shadows on the horizon in the distance had completely disappeared, Yan Yun's eyes were sharp, and he reined in suddenly.

"Young master, why don't you chase after me?"

After rushing a few meters, Zhu Yan hurriedly turned her head, "Let's hurry up, maybe we can catch up with the girl."

Qi Chi also looked at Yan Yun suspiciously.

Yan Yun sat on the horse, his thin eyes were more silent than the morning forest, his shoulders were straight, he looked quietly at the direction she left, pondered for a long time, and sighed softly: "Forget it."

Chasing after her will only delay her progress.

Since she was eager to go to Hwaseong and couldn't even wait to say goodbye in person, it meant that the situation was urgent, so why should he make trouble.

Zhu Yan keenly sensed his emotions, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "That's fine, riding a fast horse to Hwaseong, it only takes about ten days to go back and forth, the girl is quick at handling things, and I think she will be back soon gone."

"After she comes back, the wedding date will be agreed, and we will follow up with the wedding ceremony, seamlessly, how great it is."

Zhu Yan observed that the light in Yan Yun's eyes turned slightly warmer.

The smile grew stronger.

After looking at the gate of the city for a while, Qi Chi said to Yan Yun: "My lord, you didn't sleep all night last night, go back and rest first."

Yan Yun withdrew his gaze, and tightened his fingers holding the rein, "Go back."

They rode back to the city.

When Le Shichuan, Lu Heng and the others received the news, Banyue Xiaozhu had already gone to the empty building. He was away on business and would return in a few days, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Shengjing City is still prosperous.

Su Rao and his party hurried on and rested at Guan Yi for two nights along the way. The rest of the time, because they were in a hurry and missed the inn and farmhouse, they just dealt with it casually in the mountains.

Eat dry food when you are hungry, and drink water when you are thirsty.

After three or five days, the sons and boys of Xun Zeli were all like the eggplants beaten by Shuang, but Su Rao, a girl, didn't complain about being tired, and the others were too embarrassed to complain.

He could only grit his teeth secretly and hold on.

"Let's divide it up."

Su Rao threw the burden to Xun Zeli, picked up a stick and fiddled with the fire, Xun Zeli was taken aback, saw the dried meat and dried fruit wrapped in oil paper, and subconsciously wanted to return it to her, "My lord, that's all that's left Well, you'd better eat it yourself."

"Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly, and go to rest after eating."

Su Rao's eyes reflected the fire, which melted into a warm color in the dark mountain forest, and Xun Zeli's heart felt warm when she saw it. She was busy on the road these days, and she didn't talk much, but she always tried to take care of other people in places where she couldn't see.

Except for the guards assigned by the military commander earlier, the people on this trip.

Most of them are sons and brothers from the Imperial City Department, who came here with her from the time when she was first appointed as a supervisory order.

Their temperaments have changed a lot, and they also have the intention to do errands so as not to hold her back. However, their pampered bodies are not used to such a life of eating and sleeping, and they have caused many problems.

"it is good."

Xun Zeli knew the priorities, so he could only distribute things to other people. Everyone sat around the fire, swallowing food in silence, trying to gather strength for the next journey.

After eating, Xun Zeli was about to arrange the night watchman.

Su Rao said calmly: "You guys sleep, I will guard tonight."

"grown ups……"

"sleep."

Su Rao cherishes words like gold.

It was a final decision, with unquestionable determination.

Compared to her, their spirits were worse, and forcing the vigil would only delay the next trip, Shen Yuan and the others looked at each other, their faces were ugly, but they were sensible and didn't say anything, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Instead of arguing endlessly, it is better to recharge your batteries and adjust your state as soon as possible to replace her.

There were wolves howling in the forest at night.

Someone woke up and sat up, looking around in panic, but when he saw the figure sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, his flustered heartbeat gradually slowed down, and he fell asleep again.

do not know why.

Obviously that figure was slender and weak, even a head shorter than them, but as long as she was there, no matter how dangerous the place was, people would feel at ease.

All night.

As the dawn broke, everyone woke up one after another, turning over and getting up skillfully.

Put out the fire, pack your bags, and hit the road.

Huacheng is close to Jizhou, located at the junction of the two continents. It is located on the main road of traffic. It is a very prosperous city.

But in recent days, the gate of the city is under martial law.

Allow in but not out.

When Su Rao and the others arrived, the gates of the city were closed tightly under the blue sky and the sun, and the officers and soldiers on the tower saw someone approaching, and immediately raised their voices and shouted: "The city of Huacheng is closed, please leave quickly."

"Dare to ask why your lord closed the city, we have an urgent matter to enter the city to find someone."

Xun Zeli asked back.

The above replied: "The missing criminals of the imperial court are fleeing in the city. In order to prevent these murderous criminals from escaping, the prefect ordered the city to be closed. When you catch people and when you let them go, you should leave quickly."

The soldiers on the tower waved away people like flies.

Xun Zeli looked solemn, and looked at Su Rao together with the others. Su Rao pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Shen Zhibai said in his last letter that he would stay here temporarily. He should still be in the city."

They came here just for this person, and there was no reason to go back home when they got there.

Her eyes flickered, and she raised her head suddenly: "Master, to prevent exiles from leaving, people should not be prohibited from entering the city. Please open the city gate and let me in."

"What's the rush to enter the city at this juncture?"

The higher-ups muttered for a long time, poked their heads out and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's easy to enter the city and difficult to leave the city, you should think it through."
