Chapter 156
Xue Lan trembled because she thought Cheng Bi would be cowardly. After all, this guy is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and it's not just a day or two.
Unexpectedly, this time, he was rarely calm and calm.
"Stop nagging, it's better to hide." He said, "When we escaped from the inn, we also let the little uncle hide in the box, and left me outside the car to deal with those connectors... It was like this all the way If you're fooled, what else is there to be afraid of?"
When Cheng Bi said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face involuntarily.Because Xue Lan was listening, she didn't like it, so she turned around and stooped into the carport, staring at the big iron box inside, in a daze.
The horse-drawn carriage followed the traveling convoy with seven bends and eight turns. Among them, the convoy transporting valuable goods spread out and drove to different major commercial roads in the north and south regions.
As for the other branch, it was obvious that they did not leave the town, but walked slowly towards a more secluded and uninhabited narrow crossing.
Cheng Bi pretended to be the coachman, covered his face with a kerchief, and mingled at the end of the convoy. When he passed the fork, he stopped for a while. The watchman in the middle of the road held up a torch, reached out, and knocked hard on the outside of the car shed twice.
After a while, he raised his head and said to Cheng Bi: "...to the mountain?"
He said he was going up the mountain, but he didn't say which mountain he was going to.Cheng Fang didn't know how to respond, so he nodded hastily and said "Yes".
The man knocked out of the shed for a while, and hearing the sound was deep, he couldn't help asking suspiciously: "There are a lot of things?"
——Can you not have more?Including the two big men forcefully stuffed inside, there are six people.
Cheng Bi thought so in his heart, but he couldn't answer that way.So he cleared his throat muffledly, pretending to be tough and said to the man: "This is something that others want, how much do I care about?"
After what he said, the caretaker probably felt sorry, so he just moved closer to take a look, and didn't open the curtain to peek inside.Then the hook waved the torch and gave way directly.
Cheng Bi buried his head and let out a sigh of relief.Little did they know that the other three people in the car shed had their swords ready, waiting for someone to say a word, they were sure to attack and cut him upside down.
Fortunately, it was late at night and the road was far away, and the time for cargo transportation was extremely tight. The end of one group of convoys was still attached to another group of convoys, constantly revealing from the narrow and limited passage not far away.
——The driver is in a hurry to get on the road, and the watchman is in a hurry to be lazy.In this way, every time he went in and out, the front and rear of Cheng Bi were full of piles of carriages and goods, and it was easy to hide in the group of cars and fish in troubled waters.
When the carriage left the low gray stone wall surrounding the black market, there were no more checkpoints and guards who stayed around the night.
At that time, it was past half of the night, when the fog was thick and cold.Cheng Bi squinted his eyes, looked carefully at the road ahead for a while, then turned around and turned his head, and said to the carport in a low voice: "The road ahead is all mountain roads, do you want to continue walking?"
With a bang, the curtain of the car was lifted upwards.Xue Lan poked out half of her head because she folded her body, and after confirming that no one was following her around, she asked Cheng Bi in a low voice, "Where are all the convoys that came from the black market going now?"
Cheng Bi said: "A lot of them are gone, probably going out of the town. A small number of them are left, looking at the direction, they should be going up the mountain."
Xue Lan asked, "What mountain is in front?"
Cheng Bi opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, he said slowly from behind his pillow: "Take a small path and bypass the two low hills, which is the Lingtai Mountain that you have been thinking about."
"I didn't ask you." Xue Lan said coldly, "After a while, you will get a wide view. Find a place to get off by yourself, and don't squeeze with us."
Cheng Bi could see that Xue Lan had a different attitude towards his concubine, and it was obvious that it had reached a bad state.He couldn't figure out why, and couldn't get in the conversation for a while, so he just listened to the pillow and laughed softly, and said in a rather vague way: "Why do I have to get off the car? I want to go to Mount Taishan too... Without this truck Carriage, how can I get on it alone?"
"Well, I'll give you the car. We'll go down later." Xue Lan said without delay, "It doesn't matter to us whether you go up to Mount Lingtai or not."
As soon as he said this, he made it clear that he wanted to draw a line with Congzhen.Everyone could understand, Cheng Bi didn't dare to say anything, and Cong Pillow was just laughing.
If there was a stalemate for a long time, suddenly there was a sound of the box cover in the car shed, Yan Jue slowly stretched out half of his palm, and lifted the curtain of the car, Xue Lan reacted immediately, and hurried forward to hold his arm.Unexpectedly, Yan Jue raised his hand and pulled it out, with an indifferent expression, Gu Zi sat down in front of the car, turned around and asked Cheng Bi, "Where are you now?"
Cheng Fang didn't expect Yan Jue to come out suddenly. Surprised, out of politeness, he quickly replied: "It takes about a day's journey to reach Mount Lingtai."
Yan Jue was noncommittal, and only focused on observing a narrow and gravel mountain road in front of him. There were hidden wheel creases and several bends, most of which were traces heading in the same direction.
"Follow up." Yan bullied, "If the final destination of human blood is indeed Lingtai Mountain, maybe we can take this opportunity to find the place where Yun Zhehuan is hiding."
Because Xue Lan had been neglected by Yan Jue for nothing, she didn't care about the grievances in her heart at this time. He frowned when he heard that he was going to Mount Lingtai, and immediately objected: "Don't go... what do you want to check?" Clearly, I will go up the mountain for you!"
He had just finished saying this sentence, and he also expected that Yan Jue would not pay attention to him - sure enough, Yan Jue thought that Xue Lan was a piece of air.It's fine if you don't listen to what you say, and you don't even bother to look at him. After a long silence, you just told Cheng Bi with a blank face: "We will walk as the person in front walks, and we are not allowed to stop halfway."
Cheng Bi nodded, and then looked at Xue Lanyin, only to feel that his face was hideous and terrifying, as if he was about to pounce on him and tear his life apart in the next moment. A cold and gloomy hostility.
Cheng Fang didn't have the guts to speak, so he turned his head away shivering, and continued to focus on driving the car with his whip.
After Yan Jue explained the matter, Yue Mo thought it was windy outside the car, so he went back to the carport alone, and the car curtain was pulled down, completely separating a space from Xue Lanyin.
Because Xue Lan was also stabbed badly by Yan Jue's stubborn temper like a knife, his face turned black now, and the unspeakable anger burned in his heart frequently, but it turned into grievance, depression, and unspeakable restlessness and anxiety. It can be relieved everywhere, and there is nowhere to vent it.
He bent over and sat not far from Yan Jue, separated by a curtain, buried his head deeply in his knees, listening to the repeated speeding up of the wheels in his ears, gradually covering up the numb and silent heartbeat.
This is not the first time the two have had an argument, but according to past experience, Yan Jue will not really get angry with him, at most he will say a few harsh words, and coax and hug him afterwards, it won't take long It's fine.
But this time, because Xue Lan was too impatient, he blurted out a series of words that Yan Jue was most afraid of and avoided, which hurt his self-esteem, and hurt him thoroughly all at once.
Xue Lan knew that what he did was wrong, but his starting point was never to compete with Yan Jue.He just wants to use his own strength to try to protect the person he loves with all his heart, no matter what price he pays, as long as Yan Jue is still alive, live well, and by his side, he is willing to die.
Because Xue Lan was sitting alone in the front of the car, she buried her head in silence for a long time.
Cheng Bi was driving the carriage beside him, a little bit hesitant to watch.After a while, I couldn't help but turned to him and said: "Uncle Shi is so strong... You said those words just now, didn't you take the initiative to make yourself unhappy?"
It just so happened that Cong Pillow was sitting outside the carport to breathe, and when Cheng Bi mentioned this, he couldn't help but lightly said: "...I said earlier that Mr. Yan doesn't need you to protect him all the time. To be stubborn to the end is purely asking for trouble."
Because Xue Lan didn't want to talk, Xu was really hurt, especially when there was another pillow next to him—Yan Jue had a conflict with him, and Cheng Bi couldn't understand human words, so he was full of bitterness and poverty. It is simply suffering.
The three of them each occupied a corner at the front of the car, Xue Lan didn't speak, and Cheng Bi didn't say anything more, so they closed their mouths knowingly, and simply remained silent all the way to the end.
When the carriage bumped and passed the first hill, it was just dawn, and the fog in the mountains was thicker, and the humidity was slowly pressing into the lungs.
Xue Lan half-closed her eyes and sniffed, seeming to smell a seductive aroma.
Just at this moment, Cheng Bi pulled the carriage to a stop, leaned the front of the carriage to the side of the road, and attracted the horses, which had been exhausted all night, to drink water and graze.
Xue Lan took advantage of the opportunity to look out, and saw a few small stalls scattered not far ahead, during which white smoke curled up into the sky, and someone was kneading rice buns and selling them.
Because of a thought, Xue Lan felt that the opportunity had come, she immediately moved her body, crossed her arms and pressed against the edge of the car curtain, coughed twice, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "...Do you want breakfast?"
After all, apprentice dog wants to save face. Before asking a question, he doesn't address him, his wife doesn't call out, and his master doesn't call out. He faces a long curtain, as if talking to himself.
As expected, Yan Jue still ignored him.
Xue Lanyin was a little anxious at the moment, fearing that something might happen to Yan Jue, just as Cheng Bi came over with his horse, Xue Lanyin grabbed his arm and said forcefully: "Hey, come here. Go and ask for me, Is he hungry, do he want to eat?"
Cheng Bi has an elm head, slow and dull: "Ah? Who?"
Xue Lanyin raised her hand and pointed at the long curtain: "He—"
"Oh oh oh..."
Cheng Bi nodded, understood, got in the car and gently opened the curtain, poked his head inside——
But after a while, the voice of the person inside came out cold and hard: "Go and tell him, if you don't eat, you will starve to death."
He said this to Cheng Bi, but the volume was loud enough to reach Xue Lanyin's ears.
——This person is like this, if he refuses to say something, it is even more difficult for him to take the initiative to show his face.
