Gusu snow

Get out of the inn and go all the way south, enter the city gate, even if you have really entered the territory of Qingcheng.

They bid farewell to the innkeeper, and headed towards Qingcheng from Qinchuan territory.

The innkeepers know how to do business, know their identities, and charge a lot less money.

Qian Qiuyuan thought that he was not short of the money anyway, so he insisted on giving it to him.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's attitude was firm, and he confiscated it in a daze, so he had no choice but to give up.

In fact, the shopkeeper made a favor for them.Because of Yun Shen's status, he had every reason to believe that they might be able to return to Lin'an one day, and then they could come to take care of his business and return his favor.

Although Qinchuan is a neighboring county of Lin'an, the distance between the two counties is a long mountain road, which is deserted.

If someone wants to go north from the south to a city in the north, the metropolis will choose to enter Xuancheng from the west of Jiangxia, and then go east to Lin'an.

Therefore, Qinchuan County is not considered prosperous, it can only be said to be an ordinary small county.

And that inn was opened in such a place where there were basically no passers-by, but thanks to the heart of the shopkeeper, Qian Qiu and the others found a place to stay.

Qian Qiu got into the small carriage and wiped off his sweat, then the carriage began to move with a rumble.

The mountain road here is extremely difficult to walk, Zhu Jiang had to slow down and try to make the carriage go as smoothly as possible, even so, Qianqiu who was sitting in the carriage still felt very bumpy: "Zhu Jiang!"

Zhu Jiang's ears were always filled with the sound of cicadas singing along the way, and he almost didn't hear Qian Qiu calling him: "What's wrong, young master?"

Qianqiu felt a little uncomfortable: "Is the road difficult to walk, please slow down."

Zhu Jiang looked up at the gradually moving sun, it was already so hot before noon, he stopped the carriage: "Young master, young master, shall we rest for a while?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qianqiu jumping out of the car as if he had been pardoned, jumped out of the car with a pale face, and seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Zhu Jiang sighed in his heart, and turned his head to help Yunshen, and saw that Yunshen's forehead was also a little sweaty, but he was not as embarrassed as his young master.

"My lord..." Zhu Jiang wiped off his sweat, then turned to look at Qianqiu, "Shall we rest for a while? The shopkeeper said, if we don't go into the city, there won't be any inns along the way."

It's not that he's worried that he won't be able to enter the city, but that the journey ahead will be very fast.

"The closer you get to the south, the hotter the weather." Yun Shen looked at Qian Qiu, saw that he was just feeling unwell and had no other symptoms, and said, "Let's go for a walk..."

"Tututu..." Zhu Jiang looked at the endless bumpy mountain road, bit his tongue in horror, and couldn't speak fluently. He looked at Yun Shen in amazement, "Young master, are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking."

"My lord, the weather is too hot. Walking is prone to heat stroke..." Zhu Jiang said with a dry smile, "Besides, what should the young master do if he walks?"

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes and thought: "In this case, we will take the carriage, and you will lead the horse on foot."

Zhu Jiang: "..."

"I think the hiking you just mentioned is really good!"

Yun Shen walked over: "Is Qianqiu okay?"

Qian Qiu nodded weakly: "I'm a little tired, I can still walk, but I can't take a carriage anymore."

He wasn't so squeamish, but the weather was too hot, the carriage was stuffy, and he didn't eat anything for breakfast, so he started bouncing all the way.

Zhu Jiang silently led the carriage and walked ahead, while Yun Shen and Qianqiu walked side by side of the carriage.

The hot weather is really unbearable, but at least outside the carriage, you can still feel the cool breeze from the mountains, which makes Qianqiu feel refreshed immediately.

He couldn't help but said, "Yun Shen, aren't you hot?"

Yun Shen glanced at him: "It's natural to be calm and cool."

Qianqiu curled her lips and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky: "Why does it snow all the year round in Mijiang County? It's obviously in the southwest! Shouldn't it be very hot there? I heard that there is the god of winter, Ming Ling, could it be Mijiang County is actually the hometown of God Sidong?"

Zhu Jiang was about to sneer when he heard that, but Yun Shen nodded seriously, and said, "Mingling, the god of Sidong, rises above the mortal world. When Mingling became immortal, snow suddenly fell from a hundred miles around him, and three It didn't stop for three days and nights. Later, the place was covered with snow all the year round."

Qianqiu didn't expect that what she said casually would actually be right, she couldn't help but be tongue-tied and couldn't believe it.Even Zhu Jiang looked back in extreme surprise.

Qian Qiu was a little happy, and couldn't wait to say: "What happened later?"

Yun Shen looked into his shining eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth happily: "I'm making up nonsense."

Qianqiu: "..."

Zhu Jiang stomped his feet angrily, because he stretched his neck just now thinking that there was some unknown legendary story, but in exchange for a rather annoying "I made up nonsense"!

He led the carriage forward with some depression, and vaguely caught that fleeting strangeness. He always felt that his son seemed different from the past these days.

But except that the clothes are a little simpler than before, it still looks like a spring breeze with a smile.

Zhu Jiang shook his head, throwing out the trace of strangeness that was captured, thinking that he must have not slept well recently.

Not only Zhu Jiang, but even Qian Qiu noticed it.It's just that he was very guilty, and he was sure that Yun Shen would never like his thoughts, so he didn't notice too much at all, he only thought that Yun Shen was taking care of his emotions, so he joked to comfort him.

After all, he never dared to think about Yun Shen's liking.

This is a violation of secular ethics, and this kind of emotion is not recognized.

Where do you dare to ask for extravagance?No, Qian Qiu didn't even dare to ask for extravagance.

It was enough for him to just look up at him and be by his side as a brother.

"Then Yunshen, if we arrive in Mijiang, what are you going to do?"

As soon as Qian Qiu finished speaking, a few men in black jumped out from the side, and rushed towards them with their swords attached.

Yun Shen reacted extremely quickly, reaching out his hand to grab Qianqiu to avoid a sword attack, at the same time, he quickly took out the judge pen in his sleeve with his other hand, and started it violently.

The judge's pen grew suddenly, and the man in black hurriedly dodged unexpectedly, but a slender cut was made in his throat by the sharp and narrow judge's pen.

At the same time, two people also dressed in black jumped out from the side, and immediately became entangled with the first group of people in black.

Their martial arts are extremely high, but only two of them have already restrained their opponents.Qianqiu suddenly understood that this should be the master sent by Qi Beizhe to protect them along the way.

That master was able to deal with it fairly well, he still had time to turn his head and said: "Young Master, please go first!"

"Master, why are you still standing there!" Zhu Jiang said anxiously, he didn't want to wait for Qianqiu to calm down, so he directly dragged Qianqiu back, "Young master!"

Yun Shen turned back and threw Qian Qiu into the carriage: "Let's go first."

Zhu Jiang didn't care about whether the road was bumpy or not, he jumped up and sat on the shaft of the car, and drove the horse forward quickly.

It was Qianqiu's turn to feel uncomfortable, a lot of words that he wanted to say were immediately suppressed by the violent bumps.Seeing this, Yun Shen pulled him over and leaned against him: "Qianqiu?"

Qian Qiu's complexion was pale, but leaning on Yun Shen, his nose was full of his breath, it was finally much better than before.

He couldn't help getting closer to Yun Shen: "No, it's okay. Were those men in black sent by Shen Yue?"

"Probably." Yun Shen put his arms around Qianqiu's waist, and said concisely, "He is the only one who intends to kill us."

His actions made Qianqiu get closer to him.Qianqiu's pale complexion finally had a tinge of redness, and he glanced unnaturally: "Then why don't we help those two brothers? The other party is only five or six, their skills plus our two, Repelling them is no problem at all."

Yun Shen rubbed the top of Qianqiu's hair: "Why does Qianqiu think we are here?"

Qian Qiu didn't understand: "Huh?"

"When they were fighting, they still let us go first instead of walking fast, which proved that they were able to deal with those men in black with ease."

Yun Shen said, "We are the object of their protection. If we join the battle, they will need to be distracted to take care of us, so the possibility of trouble will be much greater."

While listening, Qianqiu pressed her stomach, angrily said: "Mmm..."

Yun Shen frowned slightly, opened the curtain and looked: "Zhu Jiang, stop the car."

Zhu Jiang suddenly grabbed the rein to stop the horse: "My lord, what's the matter?"

He just finished speaking when he saw Qianqiu lift the curtain and come down again, but this time he ran a little farther, until he ran into the grass, covered his stomach and started to vomit.

Zhu Jiang's facial expression twitched, and he turned around and asked Yun Shen: "My lord, I remember that the young master doesn't get carsick?"

"The road is not easy to walk." Yun Shen said indifferently. To be honest, such a difficult road and the sudden acceleration of the speed of the car were too much for him.

Only Zhu Jiang, who was concentrating on running away, was better: "Then young master, shall we eat dry food first? It's noon."

After Qian Qiu vomited, she no longer had any interest in eating dry food, and leaned on the side sleepily, not wanting to move.

Zhu Jiang looked behind him and found that no one was chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Prince An is really a good man!"

"Zhu Jiang..." Yun Shen said suddenly, "When we arrive in Jiangxia, we will go directly to Xianghe County by water instead of going to Yangzhou."

Zhu Jiang rolled his eyes: "Master, do you think the young master can't bear it?"

"Ah."

Zhu Jiang doubted: "But my lord, even if we take the waterway to reach the Xianghe River, we still have to take a carriage to Mengbao! The same goes for Yangzhou, if we go around the Xianghe River to reach Mengbao, we still need to take a carriage!"

Yun Shen took it for granted: "Since you can't take it anymore, then you have to eat it a few times, and you will get used to it."

Zhu Jiang: "??"

"In such trivial matters, I don't need to protect him." At the end, Yun Shen rarely added a sentence.

He treats Qianqiu, let Qianqiu bear what should be endured, let him do what Qianqiu can do, let him do everything he wants to do, naturally, all the consequences behind are also up to him Qianqiu is responsible alone, this is the most basic responsibility.

Therefore, unless Qianqiu really can't take it anymore, he really can't settle it, he doesn't need him to say, he will stand in front of him to protect him immediately.

Zhu Jiang tightened his grip on the rein again: "Master, let's go!"

Qian Qiu leaned softly on Yun Shen's body, humming.

When the sun was setting, Zhu Jiang could see the city gate of Qingcheng County shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun from a distance.
