The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 606 Father! (three more)

Xuan Ping Hou left the tea shed, still sighing, the folks here are so enthusiastic, they don’t charge for tea.

The owner of the tea shed has opened a stall here for seven or eight years, and this is the first time he has seen such picky customers!

Simply!

The torrential rain showed no sign of abating, and it was very dangerous and inconvenient to travel in such a rainy day.

Of course, that was someone else, Xuan Pinghou was a general, he had experienced worse weather on the battlefield than what he saw before, so he would not be easily blocked in the middle.

Xuan Ping Hou was wearing a thick coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, riding on his tall horse.

He patted its horse's head, looked at the heavy rain like a waterfall and said, "The old thing is dying, can't you let him die?"

The horse seemed to sense the master's determination and murderous intent, roared, raised its front hooves, and rushed out into the rainstorm recklessly.

On the other side, after a whole day's long journey, Xiao Heng finally came to the tea shed that Xuan Pinghou once brought at night.

The tea shed had to be closed at night, but the rain was so heavy that the guests couldn't leave and the owner of the tea shed couldn't go home.

The tea shed was packed to the brim, the prices of tea and food skyrocketed, and a steamed stuffed bun that cost two cents rose directly to ten cents.

The carriage was rushing in the rain, Liu Quan was wearing a coir raincoat, and he couldn't open his eyes and said: "Liulang, there is a tea shed over there, do you want to take a rest?"

Xiao Heng stared and said: "Uncle Liu, you still have to work hard to move forward."

Liu Quan tightened the rein and said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about you! I've been driving all day, how is your injury?"

Xiao Heng said: "I'm fine, let's continue on our way."

"Eh."

"Wait." Xiao Heng said suddenly, "Stop."

Liu Quan stopped the carriage: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Heng looked at the map in his hand, and then at the fork in front of him: "There are two roads ahead, I don't know which one he took."

Both roads can go to the official road near Xishui Village, but the road conditions are different, and the time spent on the road will also vary.

Xiao Heng knew these things only after he was familiar with the geographical annals of Zhao Kingdom, and Marquis Xuan Ping hadn't been to Liang Wang's fief much, so he might not know which road is closer.

"Go to the teahouse and ask." Xiao Heng said.

"okay!"

Liu Quan drove the carriage to the tea shed.

The owner of the tea shed was boiling water, when he saw a carriage parked beside him, he said without hesitation: "It's full, there's no space left, you'd better go forward, there's a station on Dongtou Shili Road."

Xiao Heng opened the curtain and looked in the direction of the owner of the tea shed through the thick rain: "Excuse me, I want to ask you about someone, is there a tall, handsome man in his early thirties who has been here today? "

Xuan Pinghou is not in his early thirties, but he is too young, and even in his early thirties, he still has a mature temperament.

The owner of the tea shed added a handful of firewood under the stove, and said casually, "There are several here, which one do you want?"

Xiao Heng wanted to say the prettiest one, but a big man was a bit speechless, his handsome appearance was the upper limit of what he could talk about.

Xiao Heng thought for a while, turned his eyes, and asked, "The one who is particularly stingy?"

"Ah! Talk about him!" The owner of the tea shed immediately got excited, and the force of his complaints was like the water of the Yellow River!

"I've been running a tea shed all my life and I've never seen such a pick! A copper coin! Can you believe it for a copper coin!"

"All the beggars were given to us!"

"..."

Xiao Heng endured the fire of complaints that he shouldn't have to bear at this age.

"Then where did he go?" Xiao Heng asked.

"there!"

The tea shed owner waved his hand angrily.

"Thank you." Xiao Heng put down the curtain, lowered his head and spread out the map, "Uncle Liu, let's go."

The tea shed owner was lost.

No, cooperating with you to inquire about news for nothing?

Anyway, buy two buns before leaving!

"Stop!" The owner of the tea shed called to stop Xiao Heng's carriage.

Xiao Heng opened the curtain: "Is there anything else?"

The owner of the tea shed grabbed two buns and handed them to him, then raised his palm and flipped them over.

Two fives means ten.

Xiao Heng was not in the mood to eat, and didn't really want it, but the boss insisted on giving it to him, so he could only avoid it.

He took the buns and waved to the owner of the tea shed, "Thank you, goodbye."

Then he left.

The tea shed owner said again: "...!!"

He looked at his hand that was frozen in mid-air, and then at the bun that had been taken away.

What the hell do I mean? !

...

The rain was so heavy that the horse couldn't run at all and could only move forward slowly.

"Uncle Liu, if it has been raining so heavily, he should have come here now." Xiao Heng pointed to a small village on the map, "Yangliu Village."

Liu Quan didn't understand this, he had never been to Pinglefu City, Xiao Heng was guiding the way all the way.

He asked: "Is he far away from the incident? If it is too far, maybe he won't catch up with the landslide."

Xiao Heng said: "If someone else takes this path, they will definitely not be able to catch up."

But he is Xuan Pinghou.

No matter how many obstacles there are in front of him, he will definitely find a way to Prince Liang's Mansion.

Liu Quan heard Xiao Heng's worry, he pressed his head and took a dark breath, and asked: "Then can we catch up with him?"

difficult.

This is the possibility that Heng Xiao came up with after analyzing every road in the map.

"Take another path." Xiao Heng said.

"Okay." Liu Quan drove the carriage into the opposite path.

From the map, this road is farther than the road chosen by Xuan Pinghou, but it is flat and the road condition is better than that one.

However, despite this, they still walked for a whole night on a road that could be covered in two hours in the past.

Fortunately, Xiao Heng asked Liu Quan to put on the most powerful horse in the imperial guards in advance, otherwise they would be fine at the moment, and the horse would be exhausted first.

It was dawn, but the torrential rain poured down, and the entire Pinglefu City hardly saw a gleam of light.

Xiao Heng frowned: "We haven't reached Yangliu Village yet."

Xuan Pinghou was faster than them. If this continues, he will not be able to reach the scene of the incident after midnight.

Xiao Heng opened the curtain and said to Liu Quan: "Uncle Liu, we can go through the forest in the north and reach the vicinity of Xishui Village."

Liu Quan was stunned: "Go through the woods? That's not okay, the carriage can't go!"

Xiao Heng said: "Don't need a carriage, ride a horse."

Liu Quan disagreed: "Can you ride a horse with your injury?"

Xiao Heng took out a coir raincoat from the bottom of the car and put it on, and then took a bamboo hat and put it on: "It's just a skin injury, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, so it's fine."

Skin trauma can not be exposed to the rain!

Besides, even if you move your muscles, will you stop?

Liu Quan couldn't resist him, so he had to abandon the carriage by the side of the road. Fortunately, the carriage was harnessed to two horses, and the two sat on one each, and walked into the woods.

Xuan Ping Hou's road was not smooth, he obviously chose a shortcut according to the map, but there were many situations.

Xuan Ping Hou looked at the wooden bridge that was washed away by the rainstorm, and suddenly felt a toothache.

It's not a shallow stream below, but a big river rushing like a torrent.

Xuan Pinghou patted the horse's head, looked at the broken bridge resolutely, turned around and walked back, he stopped at about fifty paces, turned around again, his eyes became sharp: "Drive!"

The horse raised its hooves and galloped quickly. When approaching the broken bridge, Xuan Pinghou's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he lifted the reins violently!

Facing the rushing torrent, the horse did not back down, but obeyed the master's command and leaped across the broken bridge!

"Good job." After landing, Xuan Pinghou patted it, "Let's go!"

Passing the village in front is the official road leading directly to Prince Liang's Mansion.

Old Liang Wang, the time has come for you to die.

"Liulang! Slow down!"

After countless falls, Liu Quan was almost exhausted. Their current situation was such that they refused to even leave the horse, so they could only lead the horse forward with difficulty.

"you saw it!"

Xiao Heng pointed to the village in the torrential rain, "That is Xishui Village!"

"Have it?"

It was too dark and raining too much, and Liu Quan's oil lamp could hardly illuminate much of the line of sight.

From morning till now, he had no idea what time it was now, he only knew that he couldn't walk anymore.

"It should be almost midnight." Xiao Heng said out of breath, "Don't go there, just wait for me here."

"That won't work...it won't work..." Liu Quan sat on the ground.

Xiao Heng took the oil lamp from him and walked towards the village without leading the horse.

"Six...Liulang..." Liu Quan didn't even have the strength to shout.

The villagers in the village have been evacuated, and the poultry that can be taken away has also been taken away. The village is empty, only his lonely figure.

He walked through the village, and when he reached the entrance of the village, he heard the sound of horseshoes on the official road from far to near.

It's him!

It's Xuanpinghou!

Xiao Heng is too far away from the official road, the kung fu horse has already run far away.

He had to walk forward in the rain, shouting loudly: "Stop! Stop!"

The sound of the rainstorm shielded all sounds to the greatest extent, and even the sound of horseshoes below him became weaker, let alone a distant human voice.

But Xuan Pinghou still vaguely heard something, which is not very real.

Is someone talking?

Someone is calling him?

Like... the voice of a son.

Immediately Xuanping Hou laughed, his son is in the capital, how could he come here?

I must have heard wrong.

"drive!"

He shouted.

Xiao Heng watched helplessly as a man and a horse drove past on the official road in front of him.

He just felt that his breath was being choked.

Xuan Ping Hou saw the oil lamp in his hand, but Xuan Ping Hou did not stop, he would not stop just for a stranger on the side of the road.

Xiao Heng looked at the crumbling mountain, the rocks were already slipping down, he could almost hear the sound of the collapse of faults inside the mountain.

He looked at the tall figure rushing towards the mountains desperately, and a voice broke through the heavy shackles in his heart.

"Father--"

I dreamed that I gave you the third watch, and after waking up, I thought about it, the dream of getting rich overnight cannot come true, but it is still possible to give you the third watch.
