beauty heart thorn

Chapter 11
At this time, the person involved, Gu Mingzhu, was already on his way to Xiangbei.

This trip was kept simple, Gu Mingzhu only brought her maid, Chun'er, and the two met Wu Yue's people at the gate of the city, and hurried on their way.

On the way, they were exhausted, and the four of them found a cool place to settle down and rest.

"Yang Jiu, at this speed, how long will it take us to arrive?"

Yang Jiu dutifully observed the surrounding terrain, and replied: "Miss, at this speed, it will take six days at the fastest."

Gu Mingzhu looked at the person walking behind him.

"Miss Gu."

Gu Mingzhu smiled at her and said, "Miss Yueyan, you have heard her name for a long time."

Yueyan smiled gently, and sat down near her: "Yueyan is afraid, I am a servant, and the lady can call me by my name. Yueyan has admired Miss for a long time, and seeing her face today is a great deal for Yueyan. luck."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Miss Yueyan is polite, I still need your help to go to Xiangbei."

Yueyan lowered his eyebrows: "Miss, just tell me."

Gu Mingzhu smiled, didn't speak any more, and leaned back, lying on the grass, the sun shining through the leaves.

Six days is six days.

There was a moment of silence under the shade.

Yue Yan looked at the figure beside him, and suddenly said, "Miss, I am a good horse."

Gu Mingzhu half closed her eyes.

Knowing that she was listening, Yueyan continued, "I learned equestrianism when I was young, so driving a horse on the road is not a problem."

How did she guess that she didn't express her eagerness to hurry?
Gu Mingzhu sat up, with a smile in her eyes, said unhurriedly: "Yueyan is very much in my favor."

Yang Jiu asked the coachman to go back home, and there were four people and three horses. Yang Jiu and Gu Mingzhu rode alone, and Chun'er and Yueyan rode together.

Soon the sun was approaching dusk, and the four of them finally settled down in Qiandeng Town before dark.

The spring night was chilly, Gu Mingzhu looked out of the window, and all the scenery in the town was hidden in the darkness.

Chun'er gently wiped the end of her hair with a dry towel. Gu Mingzhu's side face in the bronze mirror was expressionless, she said nothing, and Chun'er didn't dare to speak. She just wiped it for a long time. Good dry towel, brew a cup of white water, and say: "Miss, dinner is a bit salty, and I will be thirsty at night."

Gu Mingzhu took the teacup and said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

Chun'er nodded, packed up and backed out.

This inn is the best in Qiandeng Town, and this room is also the best, but it is a small town after all, and it is very different from the county seat.

Gu Mingzhu looked out the window quietly, the wind blowing through the leaves rustled in the distance, she blew the wind for a while, closed the window, and went to bed to rest.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly someone shouted sharply in the dark night: "Who is it!"

It was Yang Jiu's voice.

Gu Mingzhu woke up from a light sleep and heard the sound of fighting outside the window. She got out of bed and opened the window. Under the darkness, two figures were facing each other with swords on the roof not far away.

The other person is wrapped in a blue suit, with exquisite body lines, and a pair of sharp eyes are exposed under the silver mask.

is a woman!

Yang Jiujian pointed at the masked man, and said in a cold tone, "You can't move the people inside!"

The masked man was silent, the two had just fought each other, and knew that this man was not inferior to her.Under balance, the sword picked up the tile and flew towards Yang Jiu. Yang Jiu turned sideways, and when he looked again, there was no trace of the person.

Yang Jiu chased after two steps, looking around, the night has returned to a quiet, he couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "What a handsome skill!"

Yang Jiu fell not far away, martial arts practitioners have excellent eyesight at night, he saw Gu Mingzhu's clothes at the moment, immediately lowered his head and said, "Miss, it's all right."

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's late at night, you should go to bed too."

Yang Jiu retreated.

This little episode did not disturb the tranquility of the town, the four of them continued on their way at dawn, and Gu Mingzhu didn't even ask Yang Jiu what happened last night.

Not long after leaving the town, the sun was gradually rising and the morning breeze was blowing. Gu Mingzhu couldn't help sighing: "If Wu Yue is here, it would be suitable for horse racing."

When mentioning horse racing, Gu Mingzhu was very interested. Chun'er behind her smiled and said, "Miss, I don't forget to play with Master Wu when I go out, but Master Wu is not here, so please be patient and wait until we return to Gusu, miss." Just have a good match with Master Wu."

Gu Mingzhu regretted a little: "What a pity."

Yueyan saw her look of pity, and said: "Miss, Yueyan is good at horses, but he can compete with Miss."

Gu Mingzhu was very pleasantly surprised: "Yueyan can still race horses?"

Yueyan smiled softly: "I have learned a little bit."

Yang Jiu said with a straight face, "Miss, we just left the town not far away, the thief from last night"

"Guardian Yang." Gu Mingzhu interrupted him, and said, "Although we are here to handle errands, we shouldn't be overly afraid. That man was probably a thief from somewhere last night. Seeing that I was wearing expensive clothes, he just wanted to buy some valuables. Hurry up and get off the horse!"

The four stopped their horses, and Chun'er quickly got off the horse.

Gu Mingzhu was full of enthusiasm, she held the rein tightly, and smiled at Yueyan: "Yueyan, then let's compete."

"Then Yueyan will be impolite."

"drive!"

"Miss." Before Yang Jiu could utter the words, the horses of the two of them disappeared on the avenue like arrows from the string.

Chun'er looked at the direction in which the two were walking away, turned her head and asked, "What should we do now? This is just a horse."

Yang Jiu frowned slightly, and quickly let go, saying: "Get on the horse, there are all mountain roads ahead, we have to catch up with Miss and the others."

Chun'er thought to himself, although a man and a woman can't get close, they are both servants of the Gu family, so how can there be any difference between men and women at this moment, using his outstretched hand to get on the horse, the two rushed towards Gu Mingzhu's direction.

Yang Jiu wanted to chase after her, but Chun'er was bumped by the mountain road and her face turned pale. Seeing this, Yang Jiu had no choice but to slow down her pace: Don't let the young lady's close maid vomit if she doesn't catch up with her.

The wind whistled incessantly in my ears, and the two people on the avenue, one in front of the other, quickly left the two behind them far away. Before they left the southern boundary, the suburbs were full of greenery, and everything slowly came to life in the spring. The smell of the wind is also very pleasant.

Gu Mingzhu turned her head: "Good riding!"

Yueyan was in high spirits, and met her eyes: "Miss is better."

Interesting person!

Gu Mingzhu slowed down and couldn't help laughing: "You are such a wonderful person, no wonder Wu Yue treasures you so much, you are so wonderful."

Yueyan said: "The victory and defeat have been decided. Yueyan is weak and tired after riding the horse for too long. He wants to rest here for a while. Miss is lively and lively, so she definitely doesn't want to wait. Why don't you go first? I will tell Chun'er and Yang A guard."

Gu Mingzhu's gaze changed suddenly, and she examined her expression, with a half-smile but not a smile: "If it wasn't for Wu Yue's precious love, I'd like to keep you by my side to serve you."

"It's Yueyan's blessing to have Miss look at you differently."

Gu Mingzhu looked playful, glanced at her humble face, and said in a moment: "Since you are tired, just rest here for a while, I will go ahead to explore the way first."
