The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 86
The sky in June scorched the earth like a stream of fire.

Cheng Yuguan took Liuyun with him, and was going to ride a horse on the grassland in the north of the city to relax.

As soon as they left the mansion, Cheng Yuguan and Liuyun were soaked in three layers of hemp gauze summer clothes. The weather was really hot and stuffy, and the sun was scorching hot.

"Miss, you still have to go out today? Didn't you just make an inventory yesterday? Let's rest at home today."

Uncle Zhang, the concierge, hid in the shade behind the door, watched Cheng Yuguan go out facing the sun, anxiously wanted to dissuade him, but Lie Yang stopped him.Only dare to persuade a few words in the shade.

The concierge, Lao Zhang, is an old man in the house.

Since he returned to Beijing with the old lady a few years ago, he has been serving at the gate.

I saw that the masters and wives of other families, young masters and young ladies, were all respected and pampered.Look at yourself again.

The master is on duty, not too late a day, not too late every day.

The wife does housework in Huichun Hall every day.

The two eldest sons followed the master, working tirelessly.

Even the young lady worked hard in the shop every day, taking stock every month, and giving him the thick account book, he might not be able to read it for half a year.

The most leisurely people in the mansion are the two young wives and the third son.

But the family style is like this, and the few are not lazy.

The two young wives followed his wife to house the house, and the third young master also got up at midnight every day to practice martial arts, read books and calligraphy. His talent was limited, but he couldn't hold back his liking.

Today is another hot day. It stands to reason that at the end of yesterday, the young lady just finished the inventory, and Lao Zhang privately thought that the young lady should be able to rest for a day today.

Who would have imagined that such a big sun, such a strong light, would be scorching hot on a person's body.

Instead of taking a carriage, the lady rode a horse instead.

Cheng Yuguan turned his head and waved at Lao Zhang.

"Dog days, the capital is stuffy, I'll take Liuyun to the grassland for a run to relax."

With that said, Cheng Yuguan rode away with Liuyun on horseback.

Lao Zhang closed the side door and hid in the shade at the base of the wall. While protecting himself from the sun, he stretched his neck to see the young lady's back.

Mouth helpless sigh.

"What if she is the future princess? Even Liuyun is amazing, and she can still go out in this kind of weather. My girl is still in the house wearing only a small coat to hide from the cool! When summer comes, it's worthless It's a disgraceful death, I will go back later and let her mother scold that dead girl!"

Lao Zhang was talking about going back to teach his daughter, but he refused to get out of this shady place, so he kept talking about going back to settle accounts at night.

On Cheng Yuguan's side, no one yelled, no one yelled, and only brought a floating cloud that could not be shaken off, and galloped out of the city.

The official road in the north is spacious, and it is summer weather, the streets are empty and there are no people.

The two rode their horses and skipped, bringing up a gust of fire-like wind.

The guard at the north city gate looked at the galloping horse, muttered something "something wrong" in his mouth, and then retreated into the city gate hole to hide in the shade.

Cheng Yuguan and the two galloped like this for a long time, and finally stopped when they saw the greenery in their eyes and felt the coolness brought by the wind.

"Miss, I wanted to give up just now, so I turned around and went back. Fortunately, I followed the lady, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the capital and suffer from the sweltering heat. You said that everything in this capital is good, but why is the heat persistent? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

Liuyun is from Jingzhou, but he has lived in a mountain city since he was a child. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the climate is very comfortable and pleasant.It is not hot in summer and not cold in winter.

When they arrived in the capital, it was freezing cold in winter, so they could wear furs and light charcoal fires.

But the summer heat is sweltering, but there is nowhere to hide.

Banpo hall is the coolest place in the mansion, with towering trees.

These days, even the Chang family can't wait to move their living place to Banpo Hall.

The two sister-in-laws naturally followed their mother, hovering around Banpo Hall.

Because of this, Cheng Yuguan thought about going out of the city to explore the way, to see if there was a summer resort where the family could escape the heat.

Sure enough, what she expected was right, the north of the city was not as prosperous as the south of the city, and was occupied by the nobles of the capital as a place to escape the summer heat.

It's cool and open here, and even though the journey is a little farther, it's still a summer resort.

After scouting out the place, Cheng Yuguan and Liu Yun went to the poplar forest not far away to avoid the sun.

...

The root of the imperial city, the north gate.

"Drive! Drive!"

It was another chaos.

The startled guards of the north city gate ran out of the gate and looked at the galloping horse.

"Defense, it doesn't look right. There are a dozen or so in this line, and each of them is aggressive, so it's not a good thing!"

The old gatekeeper reported to the guard, and at the same time felt a little uneasy.

His old grandson suffered from the city gate all his life.Except for the years when the world was in chaos, similar strongmen came to the capital, but never before.

After a long time, he forgot the appearance of those dragons crossing the river.But the unruly aura at the Son of Heaven's feet made him feel familiar unconsciously.

these people.Almost engraved the word "unkind" on his body.

The most benevolent place in the capital, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries.Even if a stone falls and hits a nobleman, that is no small incident.

What's more, these strong men?

The guard at the city gate looked at the backs of several people, unconsciously looking solemn.

The guards at the four gates of the capital seem to be ordinary little officials, but in fact, every official position in the capital is tense.

If this kind of strongman enters the capital, he will definitely check it carefully as a defense.

It happened to be out of Beijing.

Looking up at the glare of the sun, there are very few pedestrians on the street at this time, and the number of people leaving the city will gradually increase after Shenshi.

Thinking of the two eye-catching horses among the people who left the city just now.

"Old Sun, did you see the nobleman who left the city just now?"

The guard didn't know what he thought of, so he asked the old grandson.

Old Sun narrowed his eyes and recalled carefully.

"The horse just now is a military horse. It is tough and tall, even worse than other horses. It is full of capital, but it is humble. I saw General Cheng ride it. His family is from Bingzhou. The horses in Bingzhou are famous in the capital. I heard that the former son Didn’t you give a batch to His Majesty?”

The old grandson guards the city gate all day long and chats with people, and he is very fond of some families with obvious characteristics in Beijing.

As soon as the guard heard that it was related to General Cheng's mansion and the royal family, there was no further delay.

General Cheng is in the camp in the north of the city, in charge of guarding the palace.

It seems that they have nothing to do with the North City Gate, but in fact they need to take care of each other.

There might be a gang of thieves going after Cheng's family, how can he sit still?

At that time, if something really happened, it would be inevitable if he knew about it and didn't report it.

It's like this in the capital city, you can't miss any clues, otherwise it will lead to a catastrophe.

The gate of the camp in the north of the city was quickly opened to the guards.

I don't know what the garrison said after entering. Soon, the gate of the camp in the north of the city was opened, and a group of cavalry went to the grassland in the north of the city.

The leader was Cheng Liuchuan.General Cheng, who was supposed to be in the camp in the north of the city.

...

"Your Highness, soldiers from the camp in the north of the city are here to report."

The fourth prince's mansion at the root of the imperial city also welcomed an unexpected visitor on this ordinary day.

As soon as Li Mian heard about the camp in the north of the city, he asked people to come in.

"Your Highness, General Cheng received a report from the guards at the city gate, saying that a group of suspected strongmen had gone to the grasslands in the north of the city. Before they left Beijing, Missy just rode out of Beijing alone."

Cheng Liuchuan naturally knew every move of Cheng Yuguan.

When Cheng Yuguan went out, he had to report to his parents in advance, and he would not go out alone as soon as he came out.

Hearing the words "Miss Cheng", Li Mian suddenly got up.

"Prepare the horse!"

...

Under the scorching sun, the air in the capital city surged abnormally again.

Four cities camp in one.

The north city gate moved, the garrison battalions in the west city and east city got the news first, followed by the south city.

The fourth prince's mansion was moved, and the fifth prince waited for several Tianhuang nobles to go out, consciously or unintentionally active, to inquire about news.

The princes were restless, and the Xunguimen below noticed something unusual, and sent people out one after another to inquire secretly.

In the capital, you don't know it's raining until it thunders.

A little wind blows the leaves down, and those who are interested will know that the wind and rain may be coming, and they have to prepare in advance.

...

The undercurrent in the capital is surging, and Cheng Yuguan and Liuyun don't know about it.

The two entered the poplar grove and found a clear water bubble.

In the past, here was a place of running water, but now, there are only a few ripples on the water surface, which proves who is still flowing stubbornly.

Cheng Yuguan and Liuyun took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their trouser legs, sat next to the water bubble, soaked their feet in the water, half of their calves were immersed in the water.

"Wow, miss, the water is so cool and comfortable!"

Liu Yun exclaimed.

"I thought the water bubbles were not good, but I didn't expect it to be running water. It's so cool!"

The water is probably only a dozen degrees Celsius, flowing out from the depths of the forest, and irradiated by the sun, although it is chilly but not bone-piercing.

There are trees here for shade, cool and comfortable, with this place, who would want to go back to the steamy capital city all day long?

"Miss, I'll report to my family at the camp in the north of the city later. Let's pitch a tent here tonight, right? I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time."

Liu Yun was a little bit reluctant to think about Shu and didn't want to leave.

They came out to explore the way and find a place to escape the summer heat.

Now that I have found it, I don't want to go back right away.

They were tied to horses outside the woods, and they had tents with them!
Just in use now.

Cheng Yuguan didn't want to leave either.

But thinking that her family was still enduring the heat in Beijing, she was a little embarrassed to enjoy it all to herself, so she decisively removed her legs from the water.

As soon as she left the water, it seemed that she was immediately insulated from the cool and refreshing world, and the heat immediately hit her.

Fortunately, it is cool in the woods, so it is not unbearable.

"Let's go, our Cheng family came to Beijing late. Other families have ice cellars or resorts for summer vacation, but the Cheng family has not had time to prepare in the past two years. The family members are all under the heat at home. Let's go back to the house earlier and send people over. It's easy. After repairs, within ten days, the whole family will be able to come here to escape the summer heat. Although it will be simple, having a house is better than setting up a tent."

With that said, Cheng Yuguan put on his shoes and socks, ready to go back.

The Cheng family's stone shop now attracts a lot of craftsmen.Using ready-made stone materials of various colors to build a simple summer house, for the craftsmen that the Cheng family spent a lot of money to recruit, it was as easy as they could grasp.

Hearing what the lady said, Liu Yun also took his legs out of the water, shook them, and put on his shoes and socks.

"Miss, wait for me, I will come right away!"

Liu Yun saw that Miss was moving quickly, she was already walking out of the forest, so she hurriedly shouted and moved faster.

Little did they know, the wilderness was quiet in summer.

Except for the sound of the wind and insects, there was silence and emptiness all around.

As soon as Liu Yun yelled, he attracted interested people to surround him.

Cheng Yuguan was still walking out of the forest, but suddenly felt strange and stopped.

Listen carefully, the sound of insects is gone, and there seems to be footsteps around.

Cheng Yuguan's body stopped for a moment, his thoughts turned, and then he turned around instantly and walked back, complaining as he walked.

"Liuyun! Get the package in a hurry!"

Cheng Yuguan's voice was very loud.

"I told you a long time ago that there is no ready-made Zhuangzi in the north of this city. You have to bring a parcel with gold leaves to buy land and Zhuangzi. Let's see, is it for nothing? You have to keep thinking about it so that you don't lose things. It's really troublesome." Is the package you put the gold leaf in green? I can’t even find it. Did you throw it in the grass just now? Come and look for it with me! I almost forgot just now, it’s a lot of money! We all know The Cheng family is rich and rich, but they can't waste things like this!"

While talking, Cheng Yuguan clutched his chest and leaned over to search for something in the grass.

She clutched her chest not because she disliked mosquitoes, but because she was afraid that her "boom boom" heartbeat would reveal her nervousness at this moment.

"What package... Ah, by the way, without telling Miss, this servant almost forgot that there is still money in our package! This servant thought that the capital is expensive, so I took a few hundred taels of gold from your box."

When Liuyun heard Cheng Yuguan talking about gold, he put on his shoes and socks indiscriminately, regardless of the water droplets on his legs and feet, and came to Cheng Yuguan's side.

While walking, he anxiously pawed in the grass, "Don't miss it, it's a lot of money!"

"Is it here? Did you put it behind a tree?"

Cheng Yuguan asked while searching.

Seeing the two meeting each other, they looked at each other, and they approached the thickest tree beside them.

With a "whoosh", there was a sound of breaking through the air.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two rolled on the spot and hid behind a tree.

"Miss Cheng, you don't need to try your best to hide. We are all around here. If you come out directly, our brothers can still give you a good time. If we wait for us to surround you, what will happen may not be certain."

A sudden man's voice, breathy and with a slight accent, sounded not far away.

Surrounded by the jungle, for a while, I couldn't tell the distance.

But judging from the fact that the arrow missed by an inch, I'm afraid there is still some distance.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Liu Yun threw his purse towards the general direction of speaking.

"Hero, I'm just a girl. This is all the gold and silver I saved around Cheng Yuguan. Please accept it and let me go. I promise to return to Jingzhou immediately and never return to the capital!"

"Little girl, who are you fooling? Who doesn't know that you and Miss Cheng are inseparable? How much gold and silver can you have in your purse?"

Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and promised loudly.

"Don't worry, my purse is full of gold leaves, which are very valuable! The Miss Cheng family has nothing else, there is no shortage of gold and silver!"

No matter what you say at this time, as long as you can say a few words, you can delay the time.

Liu Yun kept talking non-stop, with a loud voice, just hoping to keep a chance of survival.
