Chapter 14
After some hesitation, Lu Xun finally got dressed and got out of bed, dragged his wounds and followed Jing Yue out of the Chu Chu Pavilion.
A jade cymbal was parked steadily in front of the steps, with vermilion teak wood as the wall, stone blue eaves hanging, and a moon-like bead dropped from each of the four corners. Two shiny red horses drove side by side.
Lu Xun rested his left hand on his belly, and after walking a few steps, he was so painful that he was sweating coldly, so he had to lean on the door of the hall to breathe lightly.Third Master Lu led two horses out of the carriage, turned his head to look at Lu Xun, his brows were tightly locked, hesitant to speak.
"My lord." Lu Xun's eyelids twitched, and he quickly reached out to grab Jing Yue who was passing by him, and said, "Can we let Wen Ruo take the same car with you? The third master is very noisy. Ask me why I killed Lu Yuan, I have injuries on my body, and I really don't have the energy to deal with the third master."
"Didn't you just say that you don't care if the sky falls? What are you afraid of? You will be retaliated by Lu Xun anyway. Are you still afraid of the noise along the way?" Jing Yue pushed Lu Xun's hand away and said, "Let's go quickly, time It's urgent." After saying that, he quickly walked towards the carriage.
Lu Xun glared at Jing Yue with a dark face, took a deep breath, and said several words "murder violates the law" in his heart, and then he could barely resist the urge to kill Jing Yue with a knife, and followed him expressionlessly. behind.
The coachman took a small stool and placed it beside the carriage. Zhang Huan stretched out his hand and opened the curtain. Jing Yue stepped on the footstool, bent down and sat in. Before the curtain was lowered, she opened her lips and said, "Master Lu has something on him." Injured, riding a bumpy horse, and riding in a car with the king."
Hearing this, Zhang Huan hurriedly pulled up the curtain again, bowed to Lu Xun, and said, "Young Master Lu, get in the car."
Lu Xun, who had just reluctantly got on his horse, said, "..."
Truth be told, he now has ten thousand Zaun greetings to say.
Dismounting with a cold face, Lu Xun got into the carriage.The car was filled with thick cushions, and the mattress was very soft, and the space was extremely spacious. Lu Xun had a stomach injury and dared not sit for a long time, and he didn't feel cramped when he lay on his side.
Jing Yue whispered a few words to Zhang Huan, and Zhang Huan responded one by one, and then a servant came to roll down the curtains of the carriage layer by layer, and then heard the sound of the whip cracking, and the wheels rolled over. Rumble across the bluestone slab and drive out of the city.
After walking for about half an hour, Jing Yue who was leaning against Zhulan suddenly said, "Why do you want to take Lu Yuan's life?"
Lu Xun was resting his eyes with his eyes closed. Hearing the words, he slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Jing Yue, and said silently for a moment: "My lord, please don't ask me any more. When the time comes, Wen Ruo will tell you."
Jing Yue sneered and said, "According to what you mean, is it superfluous for me to clean up the mess for you?"
Lu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and smiled silently. The weather was so hot and his body was injured again. He was really sleepy, so he closed his eyes again, turned around and lay facing the carriage wall, and said softly: "... ...Where is the lord cleaning up the mess for me? The lord is for that...you can do anything for him..." After speaking, his voice gradually weakened, and he fell asleep past.
Jing Yue's eyes dimmed, and she stopped answering the conversation, but repeatedly rubbed the Moyu finger on her thumb.
The carriage drove forward on the silver thread-like official road, Zhang Huan sat on the front of the carriage, holding the reins in his hand.The golden crow is in the head, dazzling people's eyes. After the rain in May, the weather is getting hotter. There are no villages and people in the area for a few miles. Only the ancient weeping willows can be seen, which makes people's mouth dry.
After running like this for a whole day, at dusk, he finally saw a wine flag raised against the wind from afar. Zhang Huan's expression lifted, he licked his dry lips, turned his head to the car and said, "Your Majesty, there is a restaurant ahead. It's getting late, should we take a rest for the night?"
Jing Yue frowned slightly, Qi Qi was about to open the pavilion, and Lu Xun killed the second young master of the Lu family at this juncture. Time was running out and things were complicated, so we couldn't delay on the way, so he opened his lips and said, "Hurry up."
Zhang Huan raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead, hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Lu Xun half-opened his eyes, just fell asleep, and felt much better. Hearing Jingyue's conversation between master and servant, he couldn't help interjecting, "He's been driving for a day."
As he spoke, Lu Xun sat up with his arms propped up, lifted the curtain, and said to Zhang Huan, "Your lord is carrying the treasure of martial arts in his arms, and he just wants to send it to Pingjiang as soon as possible. I don't care about your life or death." ? Stop at the restaurant in front and buy a few jars of wine before leaving."
Zhang Huan leaned slightly, still holding the rein, and did not answer.
Jing Yue held the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and said with a sneer, "Lu Shaoxia is so good at hurting people, why don't I send Zhang Huan to you, he is loyal and very useful."
As soon as Lu Xun hadn't responded to these words, Zhang Huan's face turned pale. He turned his head to look into the car and called out, "My lord..."
Seeing this, Lu Xun pursed his lips. He put his hand on Zhang Huan's shoulder and patted it three times. Then he sat back in the car again, glanced at Jing Yue and said, "I don't want it. Follow me carelessly. I'll just watch." bother."
The carriage finally stopped in front of the restaurant.
A ball of golden crow is pillowed between the green peaks, before it falls, it only dyes the clouds golden. The restaurant next to the official road is not as prosperous as the restaurants in the city. In a thatched hut, a wine flag with a red background and a black border hastily hung up, and a few more The tables and chairs were washed white, Xiaoer stood beside the road with a smile while rubbing his hands.
"Does the guest officer live in the hotel? How many people? Please—"
Zhang Huan lifted his robe and jumped out of the carriage, took out an ingot from the purse, and threw it to the waiter, "Bring some jars of wine from the shop."
The waiter in the shop held the silver ingot in his hand, smiled so much that there were only gaps in his eyes, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment." Then he ran into the room with a fat and round body.
Lu Xun sat in the car for a while, hesitated for a while and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain. He said to Mr. Lu who was riding on the horse: "Master Lu, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's rest in front. You can get off your horse and come in and sit down."
Along the way, Mr. Lu seized the opportunity to talk to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun didn't mention anything about Chuchu Pavilion. He held his breath in his heart, snorted, and said in a rough voice: "You It's Young Master Lu, who is very precious, how can I, a countryman, deserve to ride in a carriage?"
"..." Lu Xun's temples were throbbing from the unreasonable ridicule, he gritted his teeth, put down the curtain and leaned back into the car, exhaling slowly.
"In my king's opinion, this kind of person who doesn't know good and bad should be killed." Jing Yue said sarcastic remarks from the side, "loyal words are never good for action, and keeping them around will only add to people's troubles."
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, nodded his head rarely, and said in agreement: "What the prince said is very true."
Just talking and laughing, Jing Yue, who had been crooked on the cushion, sat up straight, put the tea cup in her hand aside, and narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was listening to something.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xun was startled, and hurriedly asked.
"Horse hooves...eight, nine..." Jing Yue tapped on the wall of the car with her fingers bent, and said with a slight frown, "There are ten horses in total."
Lu Xun listened intently, at first he couldn't hear anything, but after about half a cup of tea, he heard the faint sound of horseshoes coming from a distance like a torrential rain.
Zhang Huan who was standing outside also heard it, he walked to the side of the carriage and called out in a low voice: "My lord."
Jing Yue ordered: "No problem, you wait for the wine."
Just as he was talking, the waiter dragged his shoes and staggered out of it, holding a large jar of wine in his arms, "Guest officer, your wine is here."
Zhang Huan stepped forward, turned his right hand, and made five fingers into claws, clasped the edge of the wine jar, lifted the wine jar effortlessly, turned around and placed it on the crossbar behind the scorpion.
"There are still two altars inside, please wait a moment longer, I will carry them out for you." The shop waiter took a breath, turned around and pointed to the thatched cottage.
Zhang Huan pondered for a while, and said, "I'll go in with you to get it, let's go."
As soon as the two of them entered the tavern, the team of horses had already arrived in front of the tavern. They only heard a burst of horse neighing, and in the blink of an eye, Jing Yue's carriage was surrounded.
Lu Xun picked up a crack in the car curtain with his fingers and looked out. There were all black horses with shiny fur, and all black brocade flying fish robes. Why did people from Jinsi appear here?"
The Jinjin Division is the personal guard of the Emperor Chu. It is in charge of detecting court staff, investigation and arrest, etc., and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor Chu. Eunuch Jian Jinyue's skill is even more unfathomable, almost reaching the realm of being invincible.
In the original book, the story of the original owner going south to Pingjiang does not have the part of Jinsi, so why did these people come?
Jing Yue didn't answer, and his face was very ugly. He sat upright and tightly squeezed the Moyu finger in his hand.
Seeing this, Lu Xun pursed his thin lips, didn't ask any more questions, and opened the car curtain again to look outside.
The people from Jinjinsi have already dismounted from their horses. The leader is a man with red and phoenix triangular eyes and a very mean face. Commander Jin Feng pays homage to the prince."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and the ten people knelt down in unison.
Zhang Huan came out of the tavern, his expression changed instantly when he saw these people, Lu Xun caught his expression and frowned slightly.
Fear and abhorrent hatred.
Lu Xun was smacking the taste of this expression, when Jing Yue spoke, he said in a deep voice, "Zhang Huan, get on the horse, let's go."
