The wife of the power minister's family

Originally, Chen Hu and Wu Xiangui both said they would go to Xijing with Xu Jing, because Xiao Yi's previous order to them was to stay by Xu Jing's side for a month to atone for their sins.

However, Xu Jing was a little worried when she thought about Guangmingtang's suppression of them. In the end, she only took Chen Hu with her and asked Wu Xiangui to stay and help look after Cheng Qingqing and others.

There are official roads all the way from Anping County to Xijing. This is the first time Xu Jing has traveled far since she came to this world. Along the way, she couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain to look at the scenery outside.

There were many people going to Xijing. Along the way, there was an endless stream of people walking on the official road with them. There were traders carrying carts of goods, and there were people riding in luxurious carriages with great pomp. When passing by, the people on both sides were crowded. The unknown dignitaries who voluntarily gave way were also ordinary people who went to Beijing. They either took various cars or simply walked on foot. It was a lively scene.

Xu Jing couldn't help but secretly sigh, Xijing really deserves to be the capital of Chu. It's already so prosperous even before Xijing is reached. It's not difficult to imagine what a prosperous scene would be in Xijing.

There were scenes of Xijing in the memory of the original owner, but at that time she was so focused on revenge that she did not appreciate these scenes at all.

For her, those bustling and bustling places were far less impressive than the Xu family's impression on her. Therefore, those scenes really became nothing special in her memory.

Poor and sad.

In order to rush for time, Xu Jing and Cheng Xianbai hardly stopped to rest. They walked for most of the day. Seeing that the sun was going down, Cheng Xianbai, who was sitting in the coachman's seat, suddenly raised his voice and said: "Mrs. Xu, in about two quarters of an hour." , we can get to the next county seat. If we don’t stop in that county seat, it will take at least half an hour to go to the next county seat. Do you think we should stop in the next county seat?"

Xu Jing looked up at the sky.

Anping County belongs to Qingzhou, and is separated from Xijing by Linzhou. They are now walking within the boundaries of Linzhou.

The two counties Cheng Xianbai mentioned are both under Linzhou, because they are not on the edge of Linzhou and do not involve the problem of closing the city gates at night. Unlike their Anping County, which happens to be connected to the city wall of Qingzhou, every day before the sun goes down. To close the city gate, if you don't go to the city after closing the city gate, you can only spend one night outside the city.

There is no city wall between these two counties, and they are both next to the official road. No matter which county they want to go to, it is very convenient for them to stay overnight. The difference is just a matter of time.

Xu Jing quickly made a decision and said: "It doesn't matter if you sleep more or less at night. I don't want to waste time on the road. Let's go to the next county to rest. Anyway, we just need to find a place to stay before the curfew."

If it weren't for the poor security in ancient times and Xu Jing was worried that it would be unsafe to travel overnight, she would have wished she had to rest.

Chen Hu, who was sitting next to Cheng Xianbai, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xianbai, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Cheng Xianbai looked at him with some confusion, "Dahu, what do you want to say? Come to think of it, you haven't said a few words all day!"

Chen Hu followed Xu Jing every day, and with his naturally familiar nature, the Cheng brothers and sisters quickly became familiar with him, especially Cheng Xianbai, who got along with him like brothers within a few days. On it, you can talk about a lot of boring topics.

This makes Chen Hu's reticence today particularly unusual.

Xu Jing, who was in the carriage, heard this and moved a little in front of the carriage, pushed the carriage door open a crack, glanced at Chen Hu through the crack and said: "Chen Hu, what are you worried about in Anping County?" Someone or something? If you had said it earlier, I would have..."

"No, I haven't married yet. My brother and sister-in-law take care of my mother at home, so what can I be worried about?"

Chen Hu said quickly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily, "Ms. Xu, you... just think that I am suspicious!

In fact, from the past few days, Xiangui'er kept saying that he felt like someone was following Madam Xu. I didn't feel anything, but Xiangui'er's senses were the sharpest among the servants in our county government. Although Xiangui'er and I carefully After observing for several days, they still couldn't find the person who was following Madam Xu, but... Xiangui'er never changed his story, and said that the feeling that someone was following Madam Xu was getting stronger and stronger.I dare not take Xiangui'er's words seriously, but we really haven't found any evidence to prove that anyone is really following Mrs. Xu. Moreover, how long has Mrs. Xu been in Anping County?She has always done good deeds of practicing medicine and saving people. How could anyone follow Madam Xu in such a sneaky way? "

When Madam Xu asked the noble son to stay, he felt a little uneasy.

But he could understand Madam Xu's worry about Madam Cheng and the others, and although Xiangui'er had keen senses, he was dull and his legs and feet were far inferior to him. He couldn't say that he would let Xiangui'er escort Madam Xu to Beijing on his behalf.

It was not easy for him to stop Madam Xu from going to Beijing. After all, the fact that someone was following Madam Xu was just a feeling among the nobles. Who knows if it is true or not!

But there was a thorn in his heart. He felt inexplicably uneasy along the way, and all the nerves in his body were tense unconsciously.

Xu Jing was stunned, and her brows could not help but wrinkle.

Someone is following her?Currently, the only people in Anping County who might do such sneaky things to her are the Lin family of Guangmingtang.

But the Lin family is just an ordinary medical family. If they sent people to follow her, how could Chen Hu and Wu Xiangui, whose main business is arresting people and investigating cases, not find out!

If Wu Xiangui's feeling is correct, that person, or those who are following her, must be top-notch masters who cannot be discovered by ordinary people!
At this time, the sky was already a little dark. In the gray sky, Cheng Xianbai got goosebumps inexplicably after listening to Chen Hu's words. He tried to maintain his calmness and said: "If someone is really following Mrs. Xu, you are If you can't find it, what kind of masters must those people be?
Madam Xu is an ordinary citizen who abides by the law and never takes the initiative to cause trouble. If you offend such a person, you must have made a mistake! "

Xu Jing glanced at Cheng Xianbai and said nothing.

She had the same idea as Cheng Xianbai. If he was really such a powerful person, when did she provoke him?
Chen Hu didn't know what to say, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I also think that maybe the nobles feel wrong. Dabai, Madam Xu, you don't need to take my words too seriously..."

"and many more!"

Xu Jing suddenly seemed to feel something. She moved to the window and opened the curtain to take a look. Her heart suddenly sank, "Why is there suddenly no one on the official road?!"

Obviously, throughout the whole day, there was no shortage of people walking with them on the huge official road.

Even as the sky gets darker and darker, there are fewer people traveling with them, but it has never been like this before, with only their carriage left on the whole road!
Xu Jing's words were like a heavy hammer that hit Cheng Xianbai and Chen Hu's already uneasy hearts.

They quickly looked left and right, feeling inexplicable fear in their hearts.

There was really no one left, left, and right, as far as their sight could see!
Although this doesn't mean anything, coupled with what Chen Hu just said, several people's hearts suddenly sank.

Xu Jing pursed her lips and said immediately: "Chen Hu, Cheng Langjun, let's hurry up and stop in the next county..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud "crash" sound suddenly came from the woods on both sides.

Dozens of men in black suddenly held sharp swords with a sharp cold light, and rushed towards them like birds that were dormant in the forest and suddenly fluttered their wings, instantly tearing apart the barely maintained calm.
