Chapter 740 Outing
On Qin Yao's side, the family put aside the unpleasantness that had just happened, felt the free air brought by nature, looked at the scenery outside Beijing along the way, and walked happily towards the temple in the northern suburbs.

Halfway through the journey, Awang walked up to Qin Yao and whispered, "Three people are following us."

Qin Yao said, "Let him be, as long as it doesn't affect our family's picnic plan today."

Awang hesitated for a while, turned around again, and saw Sikong Jian and a horse approaching.

"The two secret guards did not show up, and the national master followed alone." Awang added.

Qin Yao took a deep breath, suppressed her urge to kill, and signaled Awang to tell Liu Fei, Yin Le and others to just pretend Si Kong Jian didn't exist and let them play by themselves.

Awang took the order and rode to the carriage to repeat Qin Yao's instructions. Everyone in the carriage turned their heads and looked back. They saw that Sikong Jian actually followed them. They were speechless and puzzled.

Only Liu Ji knew that this guy was here to cause trouble for him.

"Fourth brother, please move aside. I will drive." Liu Ji got out of the carriage, drove Liu Fei away, and drove the car himself.

His waist and legs were no longer sore at this moment, and he just wanted to give a little shock to the driving skills of the Imperial Master who was trying to overtake him.

The road was not narrow, and there was plenty of room for a large carriage to pass.

It’s just that the road conditions on both sides are not very good, with lush vegetation and many potholes.

So Liu Ji drove the carriage, sometimes a little to the left, sometimes a little to the right, forcing Sikong Jian to run to the side.

There was no saddle under him, and he had to rely on his legs to clamp the horse's belly to control his body. The horse swayed back and forth and changed positions, and for a while he was unable to overtake the carriage.

Liu Ji made a face at him proudly.

Si Kong Jian felt the strong provocation and was no longer polite. He rode his horse into the air and jumped off the roadbed several times, trying to overtake the car on the curve.

As a result, Liu Ji shook the reins, the car speed suddenly increased, and he was blocked on the side of the road again, unable to go up or down.

The two of them competed with each other all the way. They felt good, but the people in the car complained.

Qin Yao was listening to the noise from behind and turned back to shout, "Liu Ji!"

The speeding and swaying carriage finally came to a slow stop.

Si Kong Jian seized the opportunity, took the lead, rushed to the front of the carriage, and successfully caught up with Qin Yao.

He controlled the speed of the horse to keep pace with her, turned around and smiled at Liu Ji in the carriage, "Thank you!"

Liu Ji was so angry that he picked up the kettle next to him and was about to throw it at her, "You vixen, die for me!"

Yin Le was quick to take the kettle from his master's hand and reminded him, "This kettle is full of ice cubes. They are used to make watermelon yogurt. They are very expensive. You can't throw them away."

After saying that, he handed over a dart from his waist, "Master, use this, it works well."

Liu Ji: "Ah Le, Master doesn't want to go to jail for the time being."

"Oh, okay. I'll put it away then?" Yin Le shook the dart to confirm again. After making sure that his master nodded in agreement, he put his dart away again.

Si Kong Jian retracted his gaze from Yin Le and turned to ask Qin Yao beside him: "Is that your disciple?"

Qin Yao hummed impatiently.

Si Kong Jian murmured: "No wonder." As cruel as her master.

Qin Yao felt that he was an eyesore and pointed to the grove nearby. "If you want to follow me, you can, but can you please not let me see you?"

"You didn't even think of chasing me away?" Si Kongjian was surprised. Qin Yao snorted and asked sarcastically, "Do you think I can chase you away? Unless I kill you, you won't disappear on your own initiative."

Si Kongjian's lips curled up slightly, "Madam seems to know why I came."

Qin Yao said sincerely: "I'm just taking my family out of town to get some fresh air. You don't have to be so wary."

"What are you on guard against?" Si Kong Jian pretended to be stupid and didn't move, just walked next to her.

Qin Yao took another deep breath, suppressed her murderous intent, and ruthlessly exposed him, "Be careful that I sneak out of the city to meet someone somewhere and ruin your plans."

"You don't think I know where Wang Jin is, do you?" Qin Yao asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Si Kong Jian's answer, he looked at his struggling smile and said sarcastically, "By the way, Master Imperial Master, you are so suspicious that it can easily hurt your health."

"No problem." Si Kong Jian gritted his teeth, "I am in very good health. If you don't believe me, you can come to my house and I will show you myself."

Suddenly, Liu Ji's jealous roar could be heard from behind: "What are you talking about! Can you speak louder? Are you afraid that others will hear you?"

Si Kong saw his expression suddenly change, and immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Liu Ji stared, "My wife is so mean to me!"

Qin Yao glared at Si Kong Jian coldly: "Will you leave or not?"

Liu Ji immediately smiled triumphantly.

Sikong Jian glared at Liu Ji fiercely, turned his horse around, entered the grove nearby, and fell far behind.

Don't blame him for being suspicious. It was just that today was a bad day for her to go out of the city. She didn't come out earlier or later, but just left the city after the Black Cavalry showed up.

It was hard for Si Kong Jian not to suspect that she had reached some kind of deal with the Black Knights - such as assassinating Wang Jin.

But today, Si Kong Jian's efforts were destined to be in vain.

When they arrived at the foot of An Tang Mountain, Qin Yao and her family chose a shady spot near the river, set up a sunshade tent, put out a carpet table, took out the prepared melons and delicacies, and started eating, drinking and playing.

The children had not played in the mountains for a long time. After helping the adults set up the awning, they took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, and took their uncle to go fishing in the river.

Across the river bank are green mountains, and at the foot of the mountains are fertile fields. The early-maturing rice has reached the time to be harvested.

The farmers were bent over and busy in the fields. Behind them, from the temple halfway up the mountain, the smoke of incense was curling up and waves of faint sandalwood fragrance wafted in the air.

The river gurgles in front of you, and you can hear the sound of farmers threshing and the laughter of children playing. There are no disputes or worries, and this place seems to have become a peaceful little world independent of the rest of the world.

Yin Le poured out the Pai Gow he had brought, and the "clattering" sound of the jade cards colliding was very pleasant to the ear.

She called her master, her uncle-in-law, and Awang, and the four of them sat at a table, each playing a role. She taught them the card game she learned from Old Madam Wang, and the four novices worked together to learn how to play cards.

At hand were the sweet and salty snacks that Awang had prepared in advance, as well as the cold watermelon yogurt. After winning the game, I would take a bite and relax, becoming absorbed in playing Pai Gow and forgetting about worldly worries.

It was not until Liu Fei led the children to catch fish and brought them back that the four of them reluctantly put down the jade cards, made a fire, killed the fish, and started the barbecue.

By the time we had finished eating all the food we brought, the sun was gradually setting.

With the warm glow of the setting sun, the whole family, big and small, happily waved goodbye to the farm children who came to watch from the other side of the river because of the aroma of the barbecue, and went home contentedly.

In the grove, the Imperial Master, who was staring at people attentively, was not only hungry and thirsty, but also had several big lumps from mosquito bites.

After seeing Qin Yao's family return to the city and confirming that she remained neutral, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
