The reborn emperor, you are dismissed

Chapter 162 Is there a cousin at home?

"Pack some dry food and speed up the journey," he suggested.

"Ah? But I..." Huangfulan was halfway through howling, caught a glimpse of his gaze, and closed his mouth in time.

Of course she has no objection, the life or death of the uncle's family is uncertain, and the sooner she arrives, the sooner she can feel at ease.

Since the purpose was the same, several people packed up, and at the end of the morning, they went on the road together.

She and Meng Huai were in the car, and they were driving the horse. The coachman heard that he had to hurry and raised the whip in his hand.

Snapped!The wheels are rolling, heading straight to the north.

With Huangfu Yue leading the way, she realized that the route she had laid out earlier had taken an extra detour, so in fact, it took only six days to pass Caoyang Pass in the originally estimated ten days, and the next town was just around the corner. Yangcheng.

"Miss Su." Huangfu Lan rode over to her and started a conversation with her, "Do you have a cousin?"

The past few days of getting along with each other made her understand that although the fifth prince looks a bit dandy, his nature is not bad, and it is quite interesting to be friends.

"Cousin?" She asked strangely, "Why is Fifth Young Master asking this?"

In the end, she also thought that the word "Wang Lan" was not good enough, so she asked her to directly call her family's ranking.

"I thought about it, Miss Su is so beautiful, if she has a cousin, she must be very outstanding." Thinking of him, Huang Fulan, among the major hobbies in his life, looking at beauties is the first.

It's a pity that the most beautiful person around him has a master, and the prince is extremely stingy, and he will be secretly thrown stones if he says a few words. After five or six days, his calf is already "scarred".

Therefore, I decided to settle for the next best thing.

She smiled and said, "I don't know if there are any cousins, but when I was young, my mother mentioned that the appearance of the elders...well, they are not very similar."

"That's it..." The disappointment was beyond words, he paused, and just wanted to ask a few more questions, "Hey!"

The familiar pain in his leg reminded him that someone was angry again.

Tsk, I dare not go up, so I feel jealous.

She smiled without daring to speak out: "Miss Su, sit still, there are so many stones on the road ahead!"

Yangcheng is located in the northernmost part of Daqi. Although the terrain here is not steep, there are many hills, and the surrounding scenery is also slightly desolate, which is in sharp contrast to the lush greenery in the south.

On the official road, they had already met the third carriage head-on, and there were some passers-by who were hurrying with their bags on their shoulders.

Huangfu Yue dismounted from the horse and asked politely: "Did Madam come from Yangcheng?"

"No." The woman waved her hands, as if she was afraid of something, and she didn't want to say a word.

He asked a few more people in succession, two or three of them were people from Yangcheng, and the rest refused to reveal a single word except for answering "no".

His face was getting darker, and something was wrong.

The road became more and more bumpy, the driver slowed down, and the horse's hooves hit the stones, making a harsh clicking sound.

The bushes on both sides gradually separated, and not far away, a blue-gray city wall came into view.

The wall was very old, and most of the blue bricks had peeled off, exposing the gray soil inside. The soldiers guarding the city were yellow and thin, and their armor was also dusty, but their backs were straight and their spirits were not bad.

When their carriage approached, those people didn't react at first, and one of them even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Who is here?" The leader of the soldiers looked up at Huangfu Yue who was sitting high on the horseback. Under his calm gaze, the raised spear retracted involuntarily.
