Chapter 328 Valley in distress
Hu Banniang didn't expect to be able to get out of Liangcheng in this way. Hu Taishou could only let her wander in Liangcheng. Once she approached the gate, someone would send her back. Even if they can come out, they are all twelve big men. Eight maids are protected by themselves, and they have to be whispered by two sisters all the way, otherwise they will accompany Hu Taishou or two brothers in person. Most importantly, she has never had this feeling of galloping and being happy.
She clung to Shaohua's slender waist and shouted happily. The laughter fell into the air from the gate, which sounded very pleasantly.
After running about a few hundred meters, Shaohua turned around and shouted. Hu Banniang couldn't stop laughing and still couldn't stop her excitement. "It's really too enjoyable, my God! I never thought I could go out of the city like this! If I had known, I would have learned to ride a horse!" Hu Ba Niang regretted that she did not ask Hu Taishou to ride a horse earlier, although she knew that Hu Taishou would never agree. It's already good without forcing her to learn red calligraphy and painting. How can she let herself do such a dangerous thing?
Shaohua looked at the daytime clouds and looked at it. Far away was the familiar undulating mountains. He only needed to gallop in the direction of the mountain, and in a moment, he could see the white wall in the north of Sichuan. She closed her eyes and seemed to have seen the soldiers standing in line on the wall to watch, faintly as if she could hear the neat trumpet and the fragrance of Lu's shop at the gate of the city. Everything seemed to be goodbye yesterday, but after careful thought, she had not returned for many years. She sighed with emotion and opened her eyes, and there were still thousands of white clouds.
Shaohua whispered to Hu Banniang, "Go back. It's not far from the city gate. As long as you shout, someone will come out to pick you up immediately." She doesn't want Hu Banniang to get involved in danger. For her, it is inevitable to go to northern Sichuan, because there are her most important people there, and she has long been psychologically prepared.
Hu Banniang was nervous and thought that Shaohua thought she was too noisy, and immediately begged, "Master, what's wrong with you? I won't talk. I'm good. Don't drive me away."
In Shaohua's view, Hu Banniang is just a child's temper and a playful spirit. Her face darkened and shouted loudly, "Ba Niang, you are a dignified lady. What are you doing with me? Do you know how dangerous it is in northern Sichuan!"
However, Hu Banniang is more fearless than Shaohua. She said righteously, "I know, Master, you are also the wife of the people in Beijing. I heard that the wife in Beijing, like the wife in the palace, has to be carried by eight people in a sedan chair when you go out. Why can't you follow me? I also escaped for Fulin. Her words made Shaohua speechless. Hu Banniang quickly promised repeatedly, "I promise that I won't talk nonsense anymore and don't worry my master anymore. You just let me follow."
The so-called don't do what you don't want to do to others. Shaohua made Hu Ba Niang speechless for a moment, thinking that she didn't know when Hu Taishou would send someone out. She didn't want to be captured before she was successful. He put away his expression, tightened his horse rope, and said to Hu Banniang, "That's what you said, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you off the horse. I don't care if I lose it."
With Hu Banniang's brisk answer, Shaohua immediately rode forward.
If you take the official road, it will take less than an hour and a half from Liangcheng to the north of Sichuan, but Shaohua is familiar with the terrain in the north of Sichuan. In order to make the way as soon as possible, she circled to the valley and planned to cross the path by the stream. It's not easy to walk, but it's the closest. More importantly, you can't drive there. You can only walk or ride a horse, so ordinary people won't walk there.
Hu Banniang couldn't be quiet. Looking at the strange scenery along the way, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face, "Master, what are we going to do in North Sichuan?"
Shaohua did not answer. He only stared at the road ahead and was about to cross the valley. He only needed to return to the road and walk in less than half an hour to reach the north of Sichuan. Suddenly heard a horse roar, Shaohua subconsciously strangled the horse and looked around cautiously.
This road cannot be galloping. There are many stones on the ground, and the stones are round and smooth. It can be faintly seen that many years ago, this mountain road should have been a river with rapid water to wash the stones so smoothly. Ordinary people should also be careful when passing by here. If you ride a horse quickly, it is difficult to ensure that the horses will not fall down. However, listening to the roar of horses from far and near, the horse should be running in their direction and galloping in shock.
As soon as Shaohua helped Hu Ba Niang off the horse, he saw a white horse galloping past her. Shao Hua was stunned and immediately whistled at the horse. Surprised by Hu Banniang, the white horse, who had been galloping, turned his head and ran over when he heard Shaohua's whistle. Moreover, the white horse looked at Shaohua and simply saw his relatives who had been separated for many years with the child, and kept acting coquettishly next to Shaohua.
Hu Banniang was shocked: "Master, is this your horse?"
When Hu Banniang said this, Shaohua was secretly shocked. How could Han Baiyu, who was originally raised in Dingxihou Mansion, suddenly come here? Even if no one was guarded and escaped from the house, he should be stopped at the gate, unless someone took it out of the city.
Thinking that Duofu said that Youning also ran away from home, Shaohua couldn't help but feel nervous. Han Baiyu is a horse that is extremely humane. When she saw it for the first time, she seemed to have recognized her identity for a long time. She rubbed her face affectionately and happily ate what Shaohua fed. Even Baoer was stunned. Because except for Youning, Dabao and Baoer have always been feeding it, and even the little baby who looks exactly like them, Han Baiyu refuses to eat it. However, as soon as Shaohua appeared, it seemed to feel that Shaohua was its original owner, and that intimacy made Youning raise the white-eyed wolf.
However, because he was afraid that Yan Kaizhi would disagree, Han Baiyu did not take it back to Xingyong Houfu and still asked You Ning to help take care of it. At this time, Han Baiyu appeared in northern Sichuan thousands of miles away from the capital, which means that Youning is also nearby. However, Han Baiyu is very smart and heartfelt. Shaohua knows that there is no special situation. He will never leave his master, let alone run around like just now.
Han Baiyu somehow shouted softly and walked forward with her huge head arched her body, as if she wanted her to leave here. Shaohua was also puzzled. She looked at the direction of Han Baiyu. The exit there was extremely narrow, and only two horses passed by. If someone was really chasing Han Baiyu, they would definitely face each other if they rushed forward.
"Master, what's wrong?" Hu Banniang looked at Shaohua with a solemn expression and couldn't help but approach her body nervously.
Seeing that Shaohua refused to leave, Han Baiyu became more restless and pushed her forward with her head behind Shaohua. Shaohua became more and more sure that Han Baiyu must have been chased just now, and the other party would soon come in their direction.
She looked at the scenery around her and suddenly felt glad that this year's heavy rain made the grass Baiwei around her grow very well. She appeased Han Baiyu and led two horses to the pile of half-person-high weeds. Hu Ba Niang hurriedly followed, and skillfully pushed away the grass. She saw a gap hidden behind the grass, and there was a dead end, but on a rainy day, she could barely cover it. I don't know whether it was artificially chiseled or a naturally formed cave. In short, few people will know after being hidden in the grass.
Shaohua finally comforted the two horses and hid. Then she heard people coming one after another. She nervously leaned against Hu Ba Niang. The cave is very small, and it is not enough to hide two horses, so they can only hide in the grass.
She secretly opened the grass and saw several figures stopping in front of the grass. She seemed to be suspicious of the surroundings. Shaohua was shocked and subconsciously reached out and covered Hu Ba Niang's mouth.
I only heard the leader shout: "Chasing! They must not be able to escape far.
After a while, someone reported: "Head, this is full of stones, and there is no trace of horseshoe."
"Damn it! I poisoned my horse, and I had to skin him when I caught him! Search, search it carefully! They must not be able to escape far. The leading man burst out a rude sentence, and Shaohua was secretly shocked by Hong Zhuo's powerful roar.
Seeing someone walking towards the grass with a knife, Shaohua was so scared that he wanted to shout. Hu Banniang covered her mouth quickly. The two covered each other's mouths, which looked very funny. Seeing that the other party was about to walk in front of them, the leading man roared again, "Listen to me. There is an order above. You must not leave alive, and you must not let them run to Liangcheng!" Otherwise, you and I won't be able to eat!"
"Yes!" A neat and powerful answer made Shaohua's heart sink. She didn't know whether what he said was alive or not. If so, from the tone of these people, it was obviously not an ordinary Jianghu tour, and his accent was vaguely like a person in the capital.
She is a little nervous. Is it someone sent by Beijing? However, not long after Xin Maoshan returned to Beijing, he had never had a grudge with anyone. How could anyone come to chase and kill You Ning?
Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer, Shaohua loosened Hu Banniang's mouth, winked at her, pointed to himself and pointed to the front. Hu Banniang didn't know whether she understood it or not. She just nodded and saw Shaohua bow down and hooked her foot. Suddenly, someone muffled, and Shaohua immediately rushed up. Hu Banniang also rubbed nervously and happened to see Shaohua sitting on the other party, covering his mouth with one hand and holding a dagger against his throat with the other. The strength did not hold Hu Ba Niang hostage. The blue veins on the other party's forehead burst out, and Shaohua's dagger had stabbed into the other party's throat, revealing a thin drop of blood. The uniformed man opened his eyes wide and obviously felt that it was incredible to be subdued by a weak-looking little woman.
After all, Shaohua's action still attracted the attention of others, and only heard someone ask, "Wang Wu, what's wrong, what happened?"
Wang Wu's eyes went to his companions, but the thick grass covered their voices. He wanted to open his voice, but he was afraid that Shaohua would really cut his throat fiercely. Shaohua was also worried that there were at least four or five men on the other side. If they were found, they would never escape. Just when Shaohua was nervous, Hu Banniang suddenly pressed her throat and made a low male voice, pretending to be very embarrassed, which stunned Shaohua with wide eyes: "It's okay. I accidentally twisted my foot. You go first, and I'll follow up later."
The other party didn't seem to notice something was wrong, said, and ran away, "Then hurry up."
Hu Banniang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes." Although she knows ventriloquist, she has never heard Wang Wu's voice and can't learn it at all. She can only try to lower her voice. Fortunately, the other party didn't notice it. He heard the leader shouting, "You go there and search there. You guys, go there."
