[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Yuanyang was making tea, and the carriage was swaying, which did not affect her movements at all.

Tanchun lifts up a small corner of the car curtain, and the convoy is passing through the mountains.Both sides of the road are full of shrubs taller than people, with blue-yellow, gray-green branches leaning densely, and where the branches connect, some yellow fruits are faintly shining.

When the strong wind blew, the crowded branches and leaves rolled up like waves. Now Tanchun saw that there was a mountain wall in the distance.The mountain wall is yellow and gray, and on the other side, it is slightly green.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the wind stopped and the surge calmed down.

Tanchun's sight was completely blocked again, he stared at the unknown plant for a long time, put down the curtain of the car boredly, and muttered: "I'm bored to death!"

Seeing her face full of pain, Yuanyang comforted her: "Girl, don't worry. When you get to Xinjiang, you won't be bored when you go out for a stroll. I heard from the third master that the folk customs there are open and women are not restricted from going out. There are many Novelties, all of which we have never seen before."

Tanchun was not happy, but even more bored, "You are fine, you can go shopping as you like, but how can I go out at will?"

She nodded her clean chin towards the carriage behind, "The old lady is in good spirits, why don't she stare at me twelve hours a day? Can you let me go out for a stroll?"

It was talking about Nanny Zhu, who was even older than a human being.She was sent by Concubine Nan'an, she said she knew the etiquette of noble ladies and all kinds of banquets best, so Concubine Nan'an sent her to help Tanchun.

I don't know if it's because of Nan'an Taifei's orders, or to show off her own abilities. This mother Zhu stares at Tanchun's words and deeds all the time, and if she finds something inappropriate, she will plausibly remind Tanchun not to be rude and lose royal face.

On the way, Mammy Zhu could only rest in the carriage due to fatigue from the journey, and Tanchun could steal a few days of leisure.When she arrived in Xinjiang, Mama Zhu had rested, and she might stare at her again.

Yuanyang happily said: "What is the girl afraid of her? When you arrive in Xinjiang, there will be a uncle to support the girl! My uncle allows you to go out for a stroll, can she still talk about it?"

A few months ago, Tanchun was still a little girl, and she was too shy to be teased, but along the way, she got used to joking and bickering with Yuanyang, and her skin became thicker.At this moment, she only blushed slightly, pinched Yuanyang's face instead, and said with a smile: "I see you need the support of my uncle! You can offend people everywhere, without my uncle's support, don't you want to be slapped?"

Yuanyang snorted and was about to reply when the carriage suddenly staggered and stopped.She was immediately attracted attention.

"Why did you stop?" Yuanyang Zhang Sheng asked.

Sitting on the shaft of the car to breathe, the servant replied: "Master Jiang has passed a message that someone is sick and is asking the doctor to see him."

Yuanyang said strangely: "I don't know who is sick. It's so big of face that I asked the convoy to stop and wait."

Tanchun shook his head, "It doesn't matter who is sick, after all, it's a human life. I'm afraid it's a little serious, otherwise Lord Jiang wouldn't have stopped the convoy."

After waiting for a while, the convoy still hasn't set off.Tanchun raised the curtain of the car again and looked outside, only to see soldiers and guards in twos and threes sitting on the ground, all of them clutching their stomachs, pale and sickly.The accompanying doctors were checking their pulse one by one, and the cook even set up a cauldron, as if he was planning to boil medicine on the spot.

Looking at this battle, Tanchun felt that he would not be able to leave for a while.

After thinking about it, she began to encourage Yuanyang: "Let's go out and get some air. I see that many people are sick outside, and they won't be able to leave for a while!"

Yuanyang didn't agree, she felt weird because so many people got sick all of a sudden.

"Let's wait, maybe we will start our journey soon." Yuanyang persuaded.

Tanchun wrinkled his small face and said coquettishly: "I haven't gone out for a few days to get some air, so you can go down with me to get some air! Otherwise, I'm really going to be suffocated to death!"

After grinding for a while, the mandarin duck surrendered, "Just go down for a while, but you can't go far!"

Tanchun nodded straight like pecking rice, very well-behaved.Yuanyang pulled out two veiled hats and put them on for herself and Tanchun.

When the curtain of the car was lifted, the waiter and the coachman Uncle Zhang saw their tightly covered appearance.

Needless to say, Shishu jumped off the shaft of the car and helped Tanchun and Yuanyang down one by one.

Uncle Zhang, the coachman, stared straight ahead, occasionally turning his eyes quickly, paying attention to the movement around him, to see if anyone had noticed the three of them.

Shishu and Yuanyang supported Tanchun on the left and right, covered the carriage, and walked quietly into the bushes. Uncle Zhang hurriedly lowered his voice to remind: "Princess, don't go too far!"

There was a "ah" in the bush, and I don't know who answered it.

Then he vaguely heard the three of them murmuring: "Why are there thorns?" "Girl, don't go away, you've scratched your clothes!" "Oh, there are fruits here!" "Can't you eat it? What if it's poisonous?". .....

Zhang Shugang's still dull face finally couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, and laughed.

Suddenly, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

He frowned and listened intently. The sound of horseshoes sounded, and it seemed that a large group of people were rushing towards the convoy.

Uncle Zhang turned his head, and just about to call Shi Shu, but he threw a gunpowder from nowhere, and the pungent smell made him cough repeatedly, and there was a white smoke in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand!

"Escort! Escort!"

He heard Master Jiang shouting in the smoke.

Ding Ding Deng Deng!

A large group of people on horseback rushed over through the white smoke.Uncle Zhang only heard those people laughing loudly and messing up the dowry on the back panel car.

Suddenly, with a pop, red blood sprayed into the air.

Someone said angrily: "We only talked about robbing! We didn't talk about killing!"

Another person said coldly: "You just take care of yourself, what we do is none of your business."

Not long after, there were various screams in the white smoke.

Uncle Zhang panicked, knowing that the visitor was very unfriendly, so he didn't open his mouth to call for anyone, and he whipped the horse directly. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the carriage, he hid himself from the chaotic scene into the bushes, and chased after Tanchun and the others. Footprints run.

In the bushes, Tanchun and Shishu were squatting on the ground to hide from the mandarin ducks pressing their heads and covering their mouths.

The convoy was only a hundred paces away from them, as long as they moved a little, those people would probably spot them!

=== 888 ===

After traveling day and night, Bao Cong and his team finally caught up with the convoy.

It was already night, and the night was pitch black, and there were no lights.If he hadn't seen the bonfires around the convoy, Bao Cong would have almost rushed straight into the convoy.

He jerked the reins to stop, and the big horse neighed discontentedly, almost throwing him off.

The guards on the periphery of the convoy pulled out their weapons and asked loudly, "Who is here!"

Baocong and others jumped off their horses and replied loudly: "We are from the Jia family!" "I am Jia Baocong!"

They originally went out of Beijing with the convoy, and most of the soldiers and guards recognized them. When they saw that Baocong was really coming back, they made way for them.

After Jiang Che received the report, he came out to greet him personally, "Why is Master Jia back?"

Bao Cong went straight to Tanchun's car, and Liu Xianglian and Dongming led people to follow behind, looking around and checking the situation of the convoy.

"I heard the news that there are horse bandits who are going to rob the convoy. Have you met the horse bandits? How is the princess? How is it?" Bao Cong asked.

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Che's back, he was very guilty, but he said: "It is true that there were horse bandits who robbed, but those horse bandits were young people who were vulnerable and were driven away within a few quarters of an hour. The Lord is very well and has not been disturbed."

Hearing that Tanchun was fine, Bao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and slowed down his pace, and asked Jiang Che, "Is the Marquis of Zhenyuan here?"

Marquis Zhenyuan is Bogda Aman. A few days ago, Bao Cong sent an urgent message at the post station six hundred miles away, asking Aman to take someone out of Xinjiang to meet his relatives. Calculating the time, he should arrive before him.

Jiang Che wiped his forehead in the dark, and hurriedly replied: "Marquis Zhenyuan has arrived this evening..."

Bao Cong was worried about Tanchun, and before Jiang Che could finish speaking, he shouted directly in front of the car, "Third sister, I heard that the convoy encountered a horse bandit. How are you? Are you all right?"

Jiang Che was frightened out of his wits, stared at the driver and held his breath, not daring to move.

After a while, a faint voice came from the carriage, "Bao, brother Baocong, I, I'm fine."

Jiang Che heaved a sigh of relief, but Bao Cong's expression turned ugly.

Liu Xianglian sensed that something was wrong, she leaned close to Bao Cong, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Bao Cong gritted his teeth: "The voice is wrong, it's not my third sister!"
