Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 198 Departure, the road encounters a strong wind

"Okay!" Shang Jingchuan nodded, then looked back at his daughter.

"Luoluo, it's getting late, we should go!"

"Well, let's go!"

Shang Luoluo responded with a low voice, and then followed his father to the door.

The carriage was already ready, and when getting on the carriage, Shang Luoluo took one last look at the street in the distance.

I saw that the long street was empty, except for some pedestrians who got up early, there was no figure I expected to see.

Also.

I didn't tell him the exact date at all, so how could he know that he was leaving today?

Shang Luoluo laughed at himself, then boarded the carriage a little lonely.

After seeing this scene, Shang Jingchuan in the distance couldn't help but secretly sighed.

He had already guessed what his daughter was thinking.

Otherwise, Shang Luoluo, who has always done things quickly and neatly, why would he be so slow to go out this time?
This is obviously waiting for someone.

But knowing that Gui Zhi knew, he didn't say anything, just coughed lightly, and then said to the guard commander of this team.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Accompanied by the sound of waving the horsewhip, the convoy slowly started moving towards the east gate.

Shang Luoluo sat in the carriage. Although she didn't lift the curtain, she could still clearly distinguish where she was now based on the speed of the vehicle and the direction of the turn.

It should be turning out of Lion Street now and entering the street leading to the East City Gate, because the carriage obviously became bumpy, and there were faint aromas of fried dough sticks, fried buns and other breakfasts coming from outside.

There is a morning market here. Shang Luoluo often came here for breakfast when he was free, so he is very familiar with this place.

After passing here, it will take about a stick of incense to arrive at the city gate.

The timing was quite accurate. When we arrived at the city gate, the city gate should be opened just right, without hindering traffic at all.

In fact, she knew very well that her father should have noticed something, but he didn't say anything.

And it's the best time not to see each other at this time, after all, after meeting, it will have no effect except to increase the sadness.

But for some reason, as the carriage continued to move forward, Shang Luoluo began to desire to see Zhao Ya more and more.

Even if it's just a glimpse from a distance.

This irrational impulse burned her brain like a flame.

Shang Luoluo could only take a deep breath, then close her eyes, trying not to let herself think about these things.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled, and then slowly stopped.

what happened?

Shouldn't it be at the city gate yet?
Shang Luoluo opened his eyes with some doubts, opened the curtain of the car and looked forward.

Then she froze.

Because there were two people standing in front of the convoy, one tall and one short, a man and a woman.

The male is tall and heroic, while the female is petite and delicate.

If it wasn't Zhao Ya and Zui'er, whoever it was.

When he saw Shang Luoluo, Zhao Ya smiled at her.

"Miss Shang, if you leave without saying goodbye, don't you think you are not enough friends?"

Somehow, after seeing Zhao Ya's smile, Shang Luoluo felt a warm current in his heart, and the previous anxiety was swept away.

She brushed the loose hair around her ears, and said with a slight smile: "I just don't want to disturb you, but what about you two?"

She noticed the bags Zhao Ya and Zui'er were carrying on their backs, and she had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm, so she asked cautiously.

"It just so happens that I have some business to go to the capital, so Miss Shang... can you allow us to take a ride?" Zhao Ya smiled.

Shang Luoluo finally realized what it means to be extremely pleasantly surprised. She was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

"it is good!"

Shang Jingchuan watched this scene from a distance, and when he saw the bright smile on his daughter's face, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion from an old father.

"It's really...girls are extroverted!"

The sourness in the words was obvious, as if a pot of flowers that I had carefully cultivated was taken away by someone.

These guards dare not say a word.

But for Zhao Ya's joining, they all agreed with it.

Because in today's Yunxiao County, who doesn't know how powerful Zhao Ya and Zhao Shaoxia are?
With his participation, this trip to the capital must be much safer.

After leaving the east city gate, the convoy turned into the official road, and then walked down in the direction of the capital.

Zui'er turned her head to look at Juncheng, her eyes were full of nostalgia.

This city left many good impressions on her, and now that she left suddenly, she felt a little bit sad.

Shang Luoluo was also looking back, but what she was looking at was not the county town, but the young man riding a horse beside the convoy.

The only little sadness about parting was dispelled by the sudden appearance of this young man.

At this moment, Shang Luoluo felt that his heart was filled with happiness.

Zhao Ya didn't notice this, he was chatting with Shang Jingchuan right now.

"What is Zhao Shaoxia doing in the capital?" Shang Jingchuan asked.

"It's good for Uncle to call me Xiaoya. I'm going this time to see the world. After all, my martial arts have fallen into a bottleneck, and I can't break through overnight." Zhao Ya said.

Although Shang Jingchuan always felt that Zhao Ya's purpose should not be that simple, but since he has said so, it is not good to ask further.

"The hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital city of Great Yan are full of talented people. Although you, Xiaoya, have achieved a lot, you must be more careful after you go there, and you must not be blindly impulsive."

Shang Jingchuan exhorted with some worry.

What he was most worried about was that Zhao Ya would act arrogantly after arriving in the capital. In that case, if something went wrong, wouldn't his daughter's life be ruined?

As Shang Luoluo's father, he knew his daughter too well.

Clever is naturally smart, but she has a very stubborn personality. As long as she looks for someone or something, she will never change it.

So even if he had any opinion on Zhao Ya, he didn't dare to say anything, but reminded him carefully.

Zhao Ya smiled and nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, I have always been very mature and prudent, and I will never act impulsively."

As soon as the words were finished, Zui'er poked his head out from the carriage in front of him and shouted, "Brother Xiaoya, Sister Luoluo wants you to come here!"

Hearing the words, Zhao Ya cupped his hands at Shang Jingchuan, "I'll go over and have a look."

Then he rode away.

Looking at his back, Shang Jingchuan murmured in a low voice: "Old man, what a ghost, is there such a man who almost overturned the entire county?"

Shang Jingchuan still had a fresh memory of what Zhao Ya did back then, so he felt that what he said was simply nonsense.

At this time Zhao Ya came to Shang Luoluo's carriage, Shang Luoluo opened the curtain and smiled at him.

"What did my father just say to you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just warned me not to be impulsive after arriving in the capital, but to be careful."

"Hmph, I knew he would say that, and you don't have to pay attention to him, he's just like that. Sometimes you're cautious, you're afraid of hitting your head if you drop a leaf." Shang Luoluo said.

Zhao Ya couldn't help laughing, "Is that what you say about your father?"

"What I said was the truth, can't you let me tell it?" Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and have a look!"

Zhao Ya always felt that Shang Jingchuan was looking at him from behind, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

"Well, when we eat later, you come over to eat with me. The food I brought is much better than the others." Shang Luoluo did not forget to say a word of concern.

Zhao Ya nodded and rode away.

In this way, the convoy was slowly moving towards the capital at a speed of seventy to eighty miles a day.

This is because the official road leading to the capital is relatively new, otherwise the speed would be slower.

But Shang Luoluo is not in a hurry, and sometimes he even thinks that the farther the road, the better, and it is best to walk for a year or so.

ten days later.

The group of them had already left the range of Yunxiao County and arrived at the boundary of Fengwei County.

This Fengwei County was once famous for its merchants, and it was a very wealthy place among the counties like Dayan.

But when Zhao Ya and his party entered Fengwei County, they could clearly feel the desolate atmosphere coming over them.

Whether it is the official road that has been left unattended for a long time, or the dilapidated and collapsed post station on the side of the road, all of them show the fact that this place has declined.

Not only that, Zhao Ya also noticed that bones and traces of fighting often appeared on the side of the road.

Sometimes you can also see burned carriages.

All this proves that Fengwei County is not very peaceful.

"Be vigilant, especially pay attention to whether there is any suspicious person approaching." Zhao Ya said in a deep voice.

Today, he has replaced the guard commander and became the boss of these guards.

In this regard, the guard commander not only did not complain, but was very impressed.

Because along the way, Zhao Ya's strength has already deeply impressed these people.

After hearing his order, these guards also knew that the situation was serious, so they all made preparations.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the further you went in, the more shocking the scene you saw.

Most of the villages, towns and shops we passed were deserted, and some even had traces of arson.

Even in those villages where there are still residents, people's life is extremely difficult.

Zhao Ya has personally seen eight or nine-year-old children working naked in the cold weather of early spring without even a pair of pants.

When the convoy passed by, these children would scatter and run away like frightened birds, and then hid in the distance and looked at Zhao Ya and the others with vigilant eyes.

In this case, let alone the inn, there is not even a place where you can settle down.

They can only live on the dry food they carry with them.

But on this day, when everyone was on their way, a strong wind suddenly blew up.

The strong wind swept the sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun. It was only in the afternoon, but it turned dark in an instant, as if it was night.

Not only that, but the trees along the road were uprooted and branches were blown everywhere.

In such extremely bad weather, it is absolutely impossible to continue on the road, because the horses are easily frightened under such conditions.

It is necessary to find a shelter from the wind quickly, otherwise the car crash is very likely to cause death.

While comforting the frightened horses, Zhao Ya roared loudly and directed the crowd.

At the same time, his eyes have been wandering in the distance, trying to find a suitable place.

soon.

Then he noticed a deserted inn beside the official road.

Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, many places have collapsed.

But most of the walls are still intact, just enough to keep out the wind.

So he shouted: "Quick, all into the station!"

As he said that, he rushed forward at the head of the horse, followed closely by everyone, and finally entered the post station.

With the shelter of the wall, the wind is a little less.

Zhao Ya ordered people to surround the carriages again to prevent the horses from being startled, while he began to check the post station himself.

The inn had been abandoned for a long time, most of the houses were uninhabitable, but a few rooms were still in good condition, so Zhao Ya asked Shang Luoluo and Zui'er to take shelter inside.

After finishing all this work, Zhao Ya still felt a little uneasy, went outside and jumped onto a high ground, carefully observing the surroundings.
