Chapter 120: In the Forest (2)
Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao couldn't ride horses and couldn't follow him. They could only stay in the general's house and waited. They were both worried and instructed Jiang Ruan: "Girl, be careful all the way."
When time is urgent, you can't stay for too long. Zhao Yuanfeng is like a horse whip: "Let's go!"
The group of people jumped on horses and whipped, running out of the city. The splashes of water stirred up by the horse's hooves splashed out with crisp sounds.
Zhao Yi and Zhao Yuanfeng were a little worried about Jiang Ruan at first. After all, the girl's house was delicate and she might not be able to bear the rapid and bumpy bumps. However, Jiang Ruan did not show any discomfort along the way, so she felt relieved. The horse ran faster.
Besides, Mo Cong and Guan Lianghan had just gotten down the Dongfeng Tower and greeted Xiao Shao when they saw him. Just as they were about to speak, they saw a group of people riding by horses. The sparks of water splashed on Mo Cong. Mo Cong jumped back and said angrily: "Hey, my young master's clothes are stained!"
Guan Lianghan laughed: "A man, why are you petty? Hey, that's not that boy Zhao Yuanfeng?"
Xiao Shao was slightly stunned. Following Guan Lianghan's gaze, he saw a slender figure in the horse team at a glance, which was particularly eye-catching among the big men. Although he was wearing a straw hat, he looked at Zhao Yuanfeng and Zhao Yi riding a horse beside him, and then he thought about the recent investigation that the Jiang family's legitimate daughter frequently entered the general's mansion, it was not difficult to guess the identity of Ma Shuren.
"What are they doing?" Guan Lianghan pondered.
"The person behind him is the Zhao family army." Xiao Shao reminded: "Dress up as a guard."
"Use troops privately? Oh, isn't this guy in the Zhao family afraid of death?" Guan Lianghan said happily.
Xiao Shao frowned and suddenly turned around and left. Seeing this, Guan Lianghan hurriedly followed him and asked, "Third brother, where are you going, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Shao walked to the place where the horse was tied downstairs and untied the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go back and say."
Guan Lianghan looked at him: "Do you want to follow Zhao Yuanfeng?"
Xiao Shao didn't say anything, but just focused on his own actions, which was considered as a default. Guan Lianghan suddenly laughed: "It's interesting, I want to see what the boy of the Zhao family is doing. Lao Qi, go and take my horse." After that, he patted Xiao Shao on the shoulder: "I'll go with you."
Mo Cong reluctantly led Guan Lianghan's horse over and asked, "Second brother, third brother, can you take me with you?"
Mo Cong was not afraid of the world, but most feared was riding a horse. When he was young, he was once riding a horse and was knocked off the back of a horse. He kept it on the bed for three months, so he never wanted to ride a horse alone again.
Xiao Shao said: "No."
Mo Cong touched his nose and heard Guan Lianghan say, "You just stay here." After saying that, he turned over and never looked at Mo Cong again. With a whip, the horse ran away. Mo Cong was so angry that he looked ashen, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
Two horses followed the people in front of him, Guan Lianghan caught up with Xiao Shao's horse, his face changed, and he asked with a serious expression: "Three, do you know anything?" Xiao Shao and the people in the General's Mansion had no friendship on weekdays, so they could not catch up and reminisce about the past. Something must have happened. As both military officers, Guan Lianghan was not in Beijing for many years, and wanted to know if there was any secret in the Zhao family.
When Xiao Shao heard this, he looked at him in surprise, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and said indifferently: "They are heading out of the city."
"Yes, so what's wrong?" Guan Lianghan asked. At present, there are only refugees who have entered Beijing and not left the city. The capital is much better than outside. Moreover, Zhao Yuanfeng's uncle and nephew brought the Zhao family army that pretended to be guards. There must be some other reason. What is the reason? Although Guan Lianghan is far away from the frontier, he can also understand the temperament of some colleagues. Zhao Yuanfeng, the third young master of the Zhao family, is reckless and impulsive in his daily life, but he is not a picky person. Moreover, the Zhao family's family style is rigorous and military style is the same. It is impossible to use soldiers to do other things at will.
"Where is your army now?" Xiao Shao asked.
"The official road is destroyed, it should be Wulindao. I came back from Wulindao. Calculate the itinerary, and I should pass Wulindao soon." Guan Lianghan said, then thought of something and looked at Xiao Shao in surprise: "Three, shouldn't you say that the Zhao family is going to my army? The Zhao family and my Guan family army have no relationship. Now only you and the Qi of Lao know about me returning to Beijing. The Zhao family will never greet me when they go to Wulindao, and it is definitely not for me."
Xiao Shao shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean?" Guan Lianghan was even more confused by what he said.
Xiao Shao clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward like an arrow. He lowered his long eyelashes and said, "I can't explain it clearly."
The rainfall over the past few days has made the road along the way muddy, and the slippery rocks have made the journey more difficult. The three-day journey will definitely take five days to arrive. The Guan family army has been rushing for several days, and the soldiers have become a little tired. The Wulin Road ahead is the Wulin Road. The rainfall has washed away the official road, and the jungles are dense in the Wulin Road, which is easy to lose direction and is endless. The army stays in front of Wulin Road to stop and rest.
Guan Lianghan was not there, and the entire army followed Jiang Xinzhi's command. A soldier greeted Jiang Xinzhi enthusiastically and said, "Deputy General, sit down and eat something."
Jiang Xinzhi smiled and shook his head: "No need."
The soldier stopped talking. It took Jiang Xinzhi a full five years from a small cooking soldier to a deputy general who had a world on the battlefield. The Jiang family valued literature and over military affairs. He grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. He never practiced martial arts. However, it was not until he could not even protect his sister that he realized that the truth of being useless was a scholar. Even when he arrived at the military camp, he had been subjected to a lot of cold eyes at first. He had no eyes on the battlefield. With his qualifications, it was already a blessing from God to be able to save his life. However, Jiang Xinzhi finally got to where he is today.
He touched the horse'er's head, and felt a little timid. He decided to join the army for a while, but he was in a teenager's spirit. Later, he couldn't help but go back to Beijing after going to the battlefield. Now, it was not a good idea to put Jiang Ruan in a cannibalistic situation like the Jiang family. In recent years, he had changed his name and secretly asked someone to bring Jiang Ruan's letter, but never responded. The closer he was to Beijing, the more worried Jiang Xinzhi felt, after so many years, would Jiang Ruan have a bad life and would he encounter an unexpected accident? After Zhao Mei's death, Xia Yan was a sweet and bitter person, and Jiang Quan had never liked their brothers and sisters. Will Jiang Ruan be bullied by the brothers and sisters of the Jiang family? The more he thought so, Jiang Xinzhi felt a strange feeling in his heart, and an inexplicable irritability gradually arises.
He was so confused that the horse beside him lowered his head and arched his body with his mouth. His front hooves were digging the ground one after another. Jiang Xinzhi smiled and said, "I understand, Heifeng, I'll take you to drink water."
