Chapter 200 On the way to Baiqijing
Chen Lai put on the thick deerskin hat prepared by Xu Jiang and the sheepskin coat prepared by Xu Jiang. He really looked like a driver. Then he punched Xu Jiang, held his fists to the brothers standing aside, and then patted Zeng Yuan on the shoulder, which was a solemn farewell.
"See you later!" After saying this, he went to the side of the carriage, where the groom sat in front of the carriage and pulled up the reins.
Originally, Xu Jiang had found a completely trustworthy groom for Chen Lai, but Chen Lai refused and decided to control the horses by himself. If he wanted to be fast, slow if he wanted, slow if he wanted to stop. It was very comfortable. At the same time, it was more convenient to talk and laugh with Chu Tao, Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu.
On the carriage, he saluted Xu Jiang and Zeng Yuan and others in a regular manner, and then Chen Lai turned his horse's head and was ready to drive out of the gate.
At this moment, Zeng Yuan suddenly stepped forward two steps, "Brother Chen Lai, please stay."
Holding a black knife in both hands, it looks extremely ordinary.
Chen Lai grabbed the reins and looked at Zeng Yuan, understanding that she sent a treasure knife at this time, "Little Yuanzi, this is your treasure knife." This knife looks very ordinary, but Chen Lai knows that this knife is made by Black Zhenyan with superior black iron, and has been refined in many ways in ice cellars, hot fire and medicine juice. It is an extremely rare treasure knife. Its sharpness, cold and fastness is still fresh in people's memory.
"What kind of knife? It's just made by the master! Brother Chenlai, there is no weapon around you. Just be your personal bodyguard. It happens that it doesn't have a name yet. Just give it another name. Zeng Yuan generously pushed the sword forward and pushed it to Chen Lai's side.
Chen came to see that Zeng Yuan insisted on giving it, so he had to accept it and said with a smile, "Little Yuanzi, then I will win people's love. Look at this knife, so call it a black-headed knife."
Zeng Yuan heard it and giggled, "This name sounds kind." She understands that there is a certain reason for her. She looks dark and is also a black-headed girl!
Chen Lai put away the black-headed knife, held his fist again and saluted, said goodbye to Zeng Yuan and Xu Jiang, and then drove out of the gate to a slate path.
"Little Yuanzi, see you later..."
"Zeng Yuan's sister, see you again..."
"Zeng Yuan's sister, take care..."
Chu Tao, Bai Yinfan and Mai Xiaoxiu all showed their heads from the carriage and waved goodbye to Zeng Yuan. This little girl didn't like her at first, but now she is reluctant to leave. They know that Zeng Yuan's knife is enough to miss her.
Gradually, Zeng Yuan's thin figure disappeared from their eyes.
With Chen Lai's shout, the carriage accelerated. Da Da Da Da Da Da Da, the sound of horses' hoofs is very crisp.
This time, he came to Heishui Town by mistake. When he saw Master Hei Zhenyan and his disciples Zeng Yuan and Xu Jiang, Chen Lai felt that this was a simple fate. When he left, he was very reluctant to leave, especially Zeng Yuan. There is no specific reason. He has deeply fallen in love with this black and thin girl named Zeng Yuan and hopes to see her in Baiqijing as soon as possible.
He lowered his head and looked at the knife in his arms. He smiled faintly.
Now he finally has his own weapon. Although it is ordinary in appearance, it still can't stop his love for it.
This time, not only the cultivation and knife method have greatly increased, but also got a treasure knife, which is really rewarding!
Thinking that all this was given by Mai Xiaoxiu, and thinking of Mai Wanxiu's instructions to him, he had a complicated emotion towards her. Mai Xiaoxiu, Mai Xiaoxiu, I hope we will never see each other again.
From Heishui Town to Baiqijing, there is a distance of 1,500 miles, and there are dozens of roads to choose from. On the other hand, there are countless carriages like them on the official road, so Chen Lai is not worried about the pursuit of killers.
According to his estimate, under very smooth circumstances, it will take more than half a month to reach Baiqijing, and it will be the Spring Festival by then.
It is a question whether to spend the Spring Festival in Baiqijing or in a small town near Baiqijing. After all, think about whether you are going out or how simple it is.
Thinking of this, he still felt a little disappointed. I used to spend time with my master at home and with my neighbors on the streets of Liushui Town. It was lively, happy and very happy, but this time it was very deserted, and even the Spring Festival had to be regarded as an ordinary day!
"Young master..." Bai Yinfan suddenly lifted the curtain on the window of the car, and suddenly a cold air came to her face, which made her cough. She had to squint and look at the muddy road in front of her. "If the road is not easy to walk, let's find a foothold first."
Chen Lai pointed to the ground in front of him. "This is snow melting water. It looks very muddy with mud. In fact, it is easy to walk. I guess we have driven 70 or 80 miles now."
The speed along the way is not slow. He estimated that driving 150 miles a day at this speed is not a problem, so that he can get to Baiqijing before the Spring Festival.
Bai Yinfan turned his head to look at the sunny weather, looked at the sad situation around him, and reminded him, "Young master, it's noon now. It's time to have lunch."
Chen Lai looked up at the sky and found that it was noon, "Let's eat in the car. It's important to hurry."
There are enough things, springs and wine in the car. Even if you don't get off the bus, it can support Baiqijing.
Bai Yinfan sat so much that her buttocks were numb and made a request, "Young master, you'd better take a break and come down for a walk, so that it's easy to breathe."
As soon as the voice fell, Mai Wanxiu also echoed, "Yes, it's too boring in the carriage."
Chen Lai narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "You just hold on for a while. There is a village in front of you. Stop when you arrive. I'll go to the village to find some horse materials. We have to eat, and the horses have to eat."
When he left, Xu Jiang arranged for him. The eight horses were all good horses. They only needed to feed them once during the day and provide enough food for the horses at night. According to Chen Lai's idea, he went to a village to feed food, and then arrived at a village in the evening to live in and feed the horses on the other hand.
When Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu heard it, they stopped saying anything and sat in the carriage and ate beef. When they saw that Chu Tao was feeding the child, they filled her mouth with beef. Chu Tao was embarrassed and laughed.
The relationship between the three women has become more and more harmonious. After the last battle in Xijing, they now have a feeling of living and dying together. Especially Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu, they have found a way to integrate skills, swordsmanship and swordsmanship, greatly increasing their offensive ability and defense ability.
Due to the unbreakable journey, Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu were very vigilant and lifted the curtain behind them and looked out from time to time. Although it is mainly Chen Lai who is providing protection to them now, they are not willing to eat leisurely. While eating beef slices, Mai Wanxiu suddenly found that the lane track and horseshoe marks on the road had become more. Seeing that it turned from another official road, he walked a few steps to the front of the carriage and lifted the curtain and proposed to Chen, "Young master, there are suddenly more horseshoe marks on the road."
Chen Lai has found this problem. Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the small mountain village in front of him, he found that many lanes extend to the small mountain village, and there are countless horseshoe prints in the village. "This group of people have entered the village."
Mai Wanxiu observed a burst of horseshoe prints and reminded: "Young master, the hoofs of these horses are very neat and very formal horses. I don't think they will be ordinary pedestrians or businessmen."
I have been an iron purple gate killer before, and the ** nature of her profession tells her that this group of people deserves to be vigilant.
Chen Lai looked at a very quiet mountain village and looked at the official in front of him, "Let's go to the next village to find some more food."
If he is alone, he can enter the village, but with a group of people is different.
When approaching the mountain village, the weather suddenly became gloomy, and the cold wind blowing from the northern mountain pass was very cold. When he came to the entrance of the village, he saw several children making snowmen on the road. Chen Lai stopped his horses, pointed to a child, and asked loudly, "This little brother, what's the name of this small mountain village?"
The child only cares about making a snowman and does not look back. "It's called Baijia Village."
Chen Lai pointed to the not wide mountain road between the mountain villages and asked, "Why do so many horses and vehicles enter the village at once?"
The snowman made by the child was crooked and looked very annoyed. He looked back at Chen Lai and said, "I don't even know this. Each family in Baijia Village grows medicinal herbs. This is here to buy medicinal herbs!"
Chen Lai turned around and opened the curtain, took a look at Mai Wanxiu, and then turned his head to look at the road in front of him. He found that there were white and green wheat fields in front of him, followed by khaki hills, one after another. He couldn't see his head. He looked at the child and asked, "Is there any village in front of him?"
"This is the only one!" Another child waved a small shovel and replied in a shrill voice, "There is no village far ahead."
Chen Lai looked back at Mai Wanxiu again. Seeing that Mai Wanxiu wanted to open his mouth and ask, he stretched out his palm to cover her mouth, asked her not to show his face, and asked, "How far is it?"
The child looked at Chen Lai's carriage, looked at Chen Lai's eight horses, pointed to the horses and said, "A big horse like this will not arrive at the next mountain village until tomorrow morning... Are you a wholesale of medicinal materials?"
Chen Lai waved his hand to him, motioned them to continue making snowmen, turned around and opened the curtains.
At this time, they all know that if they continue to drive down, they will not exhaust the horses and will not reach the next mountain village, but if they stay, there is likely to be an ambush in the mountain village.
Chu Tao, Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu all quietly looked at Chen Lai and listened to his final decision.
