The Villainous Classmate is my Lucky Star - Chapter 112
The journey from Chaoge to Yibei is far more difficult and farther than the journey to Chang’an.
Wen Yantong has limited contacts, and he can’t accurately detect the city passing by, and crossing the river to reach Yibei as quickly as possible.
Moreover, this road is too far away, even if you are in a carriage, you have to keep changing in the middle of the journey. When you are down, you will not be able to take care of these things.
She still wanted to use Cheng Xin’s power.
But persuading Cheng Xin to help her go to Yibei is a difficult task in itself, and she has not yet figured out how to persuade her.
It was when he was troubled at home, Cheng Xin took the initiative to find the door.
Wen Yantong hurriedly went out to greet him personally, with a smile on his face, “How come your Royal Highness is free to come here?”
Cheng Xin’s face was heavy and said, “Go in and talk more.”
Wen Yantong saw his look, and knew that he was not here this time for nagging, so he hurriedly followed. The two entered the main hall and screened the people behind. Cheng Xin said in a deep voice, “I came to you this time for It’s a simple matter of courtesy.”
As soon as Wen Yantong heard Chi Jingxi’s name, there was a thud in his heart, and he asked in a daze, “What’s wrong with Master Xiaohou?”
Cheng Xin said, “The news came yesterday that Shan Li went out on patrol and did not return, and brought a group of soldiers missing for no reason. After multiple investigations, they thought it was Shan Li who met the enemy during the patrol. Now the whereabouts of the enemy are unknown. Get up, or…”
Cheng Xin didn’t go further, but Wen Yantong naturally knew about it. Although she was prepared, she couldn’t help but feel flustered. She asked, “Then what should I do now?”
“The turmoil this time is larger than the imperial court’s estimate. The reinforcements sent are not enough. The imperial court is planning to form a third support team.” Cheng Xin said.
Wen Yantong felt a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Cheng Xin should not be able to say this to her, but I don’t know what his purpose is for coming here suddenly to mention this matter.
Cheng Xin saw the doubt in her heart, and said, “I know you are planning to go to Yibei these few days.”
“Huh?” Wen Yantong was a little surprised, “It turns out that Your Highness knows, I’m just about to tell your Highness.”
Cheng Xin said, “Now that Yibei is in turmoil, more than a dozen counties around Yibei are thinking of fleeing out. If you are in the past, I am afraid that there are many dangers, and it is very likely that you will encounter danger on the far road.”
Wen Yantong said, “I know this.”
“You should stay in Chaoge, and let me take care of you when Shan Li is leaving. I can’t bear his trust.” Cheng Xin said.
Wen Yantong said, “I also know your kindness, but now Xiao Houye is in danger, I can’t wait in Chaoge.”
“You can’t help much if you go,” Cheng Xin said.
“No.” Wen Yantong shook his head slightly, “Please trust me, I will definitely be able to help Master Xiaohou.”
Cheng Xin heard that his eyes suddenly picked out a deep light, and his gaze fell on her, as if it contained a look.
In Cheng Xin’s eyes, Wen Yantong is a mystery. He still hasn’t figured out how the note that Wen Yantong stuffed into Chi Jingxi’s arms came from at the time of the Baihua Banquet. Nothing strange.
Her father was a self-made businessman, and her mother was a girl from an ordinary family. She grew up in Wenzhai since she was a child. The non-existence is a secretly cultivated role.
But Wen Yantong obviously knows more than others.
Cheng Xin said, “But the road to Yibei is too far, you may not be able to bear the bumps.”
“Little Hou Ye and Fu Zi offer their lives ahead, how can I care about these bumps?” Wen Yantong said, “Your Highness, you must help me go to Yibei. As long as I go, there will be a way to keep them safe. bring back.”
Wen Yantong knew that she was boasting about going to Haikou. In fact, she was not quite sure about it, but at present, in order to persuade Cheng Xin, she could only speak absolutely.
Cheng Xin is a wise man. In a short moment, he has considered the various troubles Wen Yantong had faced with regret. Sending her to Yibei is actually sending her to Chi Jingxi, but the biggest problem is that she is a girl.
Wen Yantong quietly waited for him to think.
Even if Cheng Xin failed to agree this time, Wen Yantong had to find a way to leave by himself, even if the journey was difficult.
But before long, Cheng Xin agreed. He said, “The third aid army will set off in two days. I will arrange for someone to protect you and just follow the team, but there is one thing…”
As soon as Wen Yantong heard this, he looked at him nervously.
“You have to learn to ride a horse.” Cheng Xin said, “The army rushes to Yibei, and there is no delay on the road. If you want to catch up with that team, you will definitely be thrown off in a carriage, so you have to learn to ride a horse to follow them closely. .”
Wen Yantong nodded resolutely, “Of course.”
Cheng Xin’s eyes flashed unbearable, and finally said, “I will let someone send a horse. You will keep in touch in these two days. I will take care of the other things. I will leave you with news when I go down.”
Wen Yantong got up with strength and solemnly thanked him. Cheng Xin didn’t say much, he just finished speaking and left Wenzhai.
Cheng Xin’s work efficiency is extremely fast, and a very strong and beautiful red horse will be delivered in a short while, and there are two tall girls waiting by the side.
The two girls are named Aguan and Zhuang Mian. They are martial arts.
Aguan was in charge of teaching Wen Yantong to ride a horse. Zhuang Mian had a more gentle temperament and prepared armor for Wen Yantong in advance. The thick lint is tied to her legs, so that even if you practice riding for a long time, you won’t hurt your legs.
Of course, riding a horse is not a simple task. When Wen Yantong first learned, he could hardly sit firmly on horseback. Fortunately, although Aguan didn’t talk much, he had enough patience and respect, little by little. Instruct Wen Yantong to drive the horse in the correct posture.
Wen Yantong rarely has such a serious time, she is sweating all over her learning, looking for the feeling of riding on horseback a little bit. After practicing for three hours, she didn’t drink any saliva and could only barely be on horseback. Sit firmly while walking slowly.
This kind of progress is too slow, even if you practice like this for two days, it is impossible to ride a horse.
But Wen Yantong had no choice but to learn horse riding as best he could.
In the early morning two days later, Zhuang Mian awakened Wen Yantong from his sleep. She rode a horse very late the day before, and when she was awakened, she felt her head floated.
Looking out the window, the sky outside was still dark.
Zhuang Mian said, “Girl, it’s time to go.”
Wen Yantong was sober in an instant. In order not to delay time, she quickly got up to wash and comb, took the package that had been prepared two days ago, checked her belongings, and confirmed that she had carried a lot of money before going out.
Moli, who was waiting close by, stayed in Wen’s house. She doesn’t know when she will come back this time, so someone needs to take care of Wen’s house. Although there are people sent by Chi Jingxi, Wen Yantong still wants to keep some of her own people in the house.
Besides, the journey to Yibei was far away, and Moli was just an ordinary maid, and there was no need to suffer along with it.
Moli wiped a few tears when she left, and kept telling Wen Yantong to be careful along the way and take care of herself, before sending her away reluctantly.
Wen Yantong still doesn’t know how to ride a horse, so Aguan will ride the horse for the time being and let her sit in the back. Fortunately, the two girls are not heavy, and the horse can bear it, galloping away from Chaoge.
When I left, the east was slightly bright, the light was just reaching the ground, and the surrounding scenery was still a little hazy.
Wen Yantong turned his head and looked at the Chaoge City Gate, which was slowly going away, and the two big characters with golden light on it could still be seen as long as they walked away.
Leaving Chaoge this time, I’m going to a place far, far away. I don’t know if I can come back safely. I just hope everything goes well.
Anyway, let her, the book-wearing person, give play to her unique advantages.
This trip is different from the past. I used to ride horse-drawn carriages, but this time I ride horses at more than twice the speed.
But the bumps on the horse’s back made Wen Yantong very uncomfortable at first. During the rest, she couldn’t help holding the tree to vomit the contents of her stomach clean, her small face was pale and pale.
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Mian and Aguan didn’t say anything, and silently handed her a water bag.
Wen Yantong drank some water and pressed it down, feeling more comfortable in his stomach, and then asked, “At our speed, how long will it take to get to Yibei?”
Aguan took a bite of the dry cake and said, “If nothing happens, it will take about ten days.”
Wen Yantong was a little bit painful. It was only the first day, and she felt that she couldn’t hold it anymore. She didn’t expect that there would be more than ten days to come.
But she didn’t say anything, silently ate two bites of dry bread, and then continued on her way.
A few days ago, Wen Yantong had serious discomfort, and her body became weaker and weaker, but she couldn’t delay the journey. Zhuang Mian bought her medicine when she was passing through the town, and after drinking hastily, she had to catch up with the team.
Fortunately, in the next few days, Wen Yantong gradually got used to it. Watching the horse galloping through different places and passing through different towns, she could feel that she was indeed on the road.
Later, Wen Yantong gradually became able to ride a horse on his own. Aguan bought a horse by himself and separated from Wen Yantong. The three girls followed behind the supporting army and walked across the dusty road, across the wide river, and crossed more than half of it. Shaojing is getting closer and closer to Yibei.
When he was approaching Yibei, Wen Yantong had already changed from the white-faced niche when Chaoge left, to a traveler in the dust.
She was draped in a layer of dirty linen, and her hair and face were wrapped together. The sun in July is strong. In order to prevent myself from getting sunburned, Wen Yantong applied the herbal plaster prepared early in the morning, and the thick layer on the face was green and oily.
After it was done, it was like a mask, Wen Yantong pulled it off piece by piece, and then put on new ones.
After a long time like this, she is not as particular as usual. Sometimes she can’t take a bath for five or six consecutive days and can only wash her face hastily. After the hair was oily, she tied it up with a silk ribbon and wrapped it in the linen, but when she took it off, she couldn’t bear the smell.
But on the way, there is no way to take care of that much.
Nearly mid-July, Wen Yantong finally saw the gate of Yibei.
People in Yibei like to wear colorful linen cloth. Those clothes are completely different from those of Chaoge Chang’an, and you can see the strong ethnic characteristics at a glance.
The girls here wear a wishing puppet around their waists, and various bracelets and chains are tied to their ankles. It is the hot summer, the wind here is dry and hot, and you can’t feel the coolness of the wind.
Wen Yantong got off his horse, wrapped in a rag, and followed Aguan and Zhuang Mian into the city.
Because of the turmoil in the northern fringe area, the city is not as lively as it used to be. Maybe there have been no outsiders here for a long time, so the three people attracted the attention of the streets as soon as they entered the city.
Aguan and Zhuang Mian were not as particular about Wen Yantong. Their faces were tanned a lot along the way, and there were some sunburns. Their skin color was somewhat similar to that of the Yibei people. This made the Yibei people less wary.
But at the time of the war, everyone didn’t want to be nosy. When encountering strange things, naturally they would hide as far as they could. Only the soldiers patrolling the street noticed them and stepped forward to question them.
“The three look different from the Yibei people, where did they come from?” the soldier asked.
Aguan and Zhuang Mian looked at Wen Yantong at the same time. Wen Yantong was about to ponder her words, but suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance, “Who put these three people in?!”
Since I looked at it at the same time, I saw a girl with a nice face was talking. She has the unique high nose bridge and thick eyebrows of the Yibei people, but when she is fierce, she also looks very fierce, staring at the inkstone from a long distance.
As he said, he walked aggressively.
Wen Yantong took a closer look and found that this person was familiar, but for a moment he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.
The three soldiers seemed to be afraid of her, bowing their heads and saluting respectfully, “Miss Qing Yi.”
“I clearly remember that my father ordered the lockdown of the city two days ago. Which one of the desperate negligence of duty put these three outsiders in?” The girl called Qing Yi said fiercely.
Wen Yantong saw the appearance of her arrogantly instigating, and remembered that this person was the Yibei people who had met in the Huachalou some time ago, and the gang who was arguing with Mu Yangqi at that time was the girl called the younger sister.
Unexpectedly, it was such a narrow road.
The soldier was embarrassed, “But the marshal ordered the city not to be sealed…”
Qing Yi slapped a slap on the soldier’s face at the moment, “Marshal, Marshal! It’s your marshal with your mouth shut. Don’t forget that this is Yibei. Why do you people from Chaoge point to Yibei?! “
Wen Yantong watched this slap explode in front of his eyes, and when he heard his heart, he burst into anger on his head, “Yibei is also in the territory of Shaojing. Naturally, you have to obey orders and people sent by the court. What can you do to question the above? Who is here?”
Qingyi listened to her choking, staring at her eyes, and said angrily, “You dare to point fingers at this lady. You were thinking of driving you outsiders out. Since you offended me in this way, then I will arrest you. , Whipping in public!”
Qing Yi waved his hand and ordered harshly, “Come on! Get these three people up for me!”
Qing Yi was followed by many guards, and immediately came forward after he obeyed the orders, and he was about to hear the linen cloth on Yantong’s body. However, Aguan and Zhuang Mian placed Wen Yantong on the left and one on the right. Seeing the guards rushing up, they immediately set off. One pulled Wen Yantong back, and the other stepped forward to resist the guards.
To be honest, Wen Yantong had never seen Aguan and Zhuang Mian take action. The journey was really too rushed, there was almost no time to stay, and no one was encountered. But at this moment, when Aguan greeted him, he threw a short knife out of his sleeve very quickly, and the shot left scars on the guards. It was not fatal, but every knife made them exhale in pain.
Upon seeing this, Qing Yi said angrily, “You really did not intend to enter the city!”
Speaking of a twitch from his waist, he drew out a bright long whip and threw it on the ground like a firecracker, making a crackling sound.
The people around were so scared that they retreated to watch the excitement, and even the three soldiers retreated timidly.
Qing Yi played a good whip, shot when Aguan was fighting with others, and almost drew Aguan several times.
Seeing this, Zhuang Mian naturally wanted to step forward to help, Wen Yantong stood back, not wanting to cause trouble to herself. Who knew that someone in the guard had heard that Yantong was in the order, so he immediately rushed forward and grabbed her arm, and cut her hand to beat her.
Wen Yantong was struggling, and when he was about to yell, the man was suddenly pierced by an arrow through his vest, blood was splashed everywhere, and he fell to the ground with a howl and convulsed.
Wen Yantong looked up in panic and found a person standing not far away.
The man is holding a long bow, wearing a dark blue splendid long dress, wearing a simple silver armor, and the hair above the ears is wrapped in red silk and braided with some Yibei characteristics. The long hair is scattered behind him. Fluttering, with the restless wind drifting in front of you, a little fell on the silver armor.
He was followed by soldiers in iron armor, standing neatly, very different from the patrolling skirmishers.
Then he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him trot up neatly and drove all the people Qing Yi had brought to kneel on the ground. Zhuang Mian and Aguan were also restrained, and the lively place suddenly fell silent for a while.
Qing Yi was grabbed his arm and shouted, “Mu Yang! How dare you shoot me!”
Yes, this person is Mu Yang.
His position was a little backlit, which made Wen Yantong a little unclear, but after Qing Yi called it out, Wen Yantong discovered that this person turned out to be Mu Yang who hadn’t seen him for nearly two months!
He stepped up and his face gradually became clear. The silver armor on his body made a crisp sound with his footsteps. After approaching, he could see clearly.
Mu Yang turned black, but his handsome eyebrows had perseverance and coldness that were rarely seen in the past, and he seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
He glanced at Qing Yi coldly, “As a garrison in Yibei, I have the ability to control the order in the city. No matter who is making trouble, I will be punished.”
“Dare you!” Qing Yi said sharply, “If my father knew, he would not spare you lightly.”
Mu Yang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and didn’t pay any more attention. Instead, he set his eyes on Aguan and Zhuang Mian in turn, and finally stopped on Wen Yantong’s face, and asked, “Are you new to the city? “
Wen Yantong nodded.
After a long journey, Wen Yantong, who was already exhausted physically and mentally, suddenly saw Mu Yang. The intimacy in her heart seemed to make her tired. She couldn’t help but bend her eyes and said, “Let’s come Find someone.”
Mu Yang said with a cold expression, “This is the turmoil here. Leave as soon as possible after you find someone.”
Mu Yang seemed to have something to do, and he didn’t stay long, he had to leave after he finished talking. Qing Yi still hissed on the side, struggling hard, cursing in Yibei’s dialect.
Mu Yang frowned in annoyance, and was about to turn around, but heard Yan Tong suddenly shouted, “Mu Xingyi!”
He paused suddenly, and when he looked again, his eyes were full of doubts, “Do you recognize me?”
Wen Yantong smiled and took off the linen cloth draped over his head. He was about to speak, but didn’t want to scare Mu Yang constantly, and then took a big step back.
“You, you…” Mu Yang’s grim expression collapsed slightly, “Your face…”
After hearing the inkstone, I wiped it with afterthought, and then remembered the green oily ointment on my face. It was dry and hard at the moment, with countless cracks, which was very shocking at first glance.
She went down and explained, “This is what I painted.”
When Mu Yang saw this, his facial features were all wrinkled together.
Wen Yantong said, “It’s me! Wen Yantong.”
When Mu Yang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his face full of incredible writing, he carefully looked up and down Wen Yantong, and then leaned in front of her to look in her eyes. He could hear that the voice was a bit like smelling inkstone, but the man in front of him was so green that it was hard to recognize.
Wen Yantong stopped picking the things on his face, turned around and found out the jade card that Cheng Xin had given from the bag on the horse’s back. When he showed it to Mu Yang, Mu Yang recognized it immediately, and his surprised mouth couldn’t close. Got it, staring at Wen Yantong.
Wen Yantong thought while picking the things on his face, that’s right, this is the expression that Han Han should have.
Mu Yang slowed down for a while, then lowered his voice, “You don’t want to die! Why come here!”
“I’m looking for you.” Wen Yantong said.
As soon as Mu Yang approached, he asked about the peculiar smell coming from her hair, her face wrinkled again, and the expression of disgust was extremely obvious, “You are like this, I don’t want to admit that I know you.”
Wen Yantong sniffed it by himself, and said with a smile, “Isn’t this to rush to see you soon.”
Mu Yang sighed and said to the people beside him, “You go patrol first, I have something to do. Just send all these troublemakers to prison.”
The soldiers respectfully responded and left amid Qing Yi’s curses.
Mu Yang also hurried to where he lived with Wen Yantong’s arm. The county magistrate in Yibei specially designated an area for Fu Zixian to live with their people from Chaoge. Mu Yang, Chi Jingxi and Fu Zixian lived in the same courtyard, and the structure was a bit like a courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu Yang poked her to the ground, and the smell of his body smothered him, “Hurry up, bring hot water!”
Wen Yantong scratched her oily head and waited for a while with her green face, pots of hot water mixed with cold water, poured into a wooden barrel, and invited her into the bidet room.
Mu Yang personally guarded the door, and asked someone to take a new suit.
The water was handed in one by one, and after four full buckets of water came out, a clean, fragrant smell of inkstone came out.
After she put on her clothes, she wiped her hair and walked out. Mu Yang leaned against the wall and waited. Hearing the movement and turning her head, she felt that Wen Yantong had really crossed the distance from Chaoge to Yibei and stood there. Before.
Although Wen Yantong said that the plaster on his face hadn’t been broken along the way, but there were still some places inevitably tanned, but there was no obvious change.
Mu Yang had a lot to say for a while, and finally only said, “It’s so dangerous here, what are you doing here?”
Wen Yantong wiped his hair and said, “I come here naturally because I have important things to do. Don’t talk nonsense, take me to see Fu Zixian.”
Mu Yang said, “He went out on patrol, and maybe he will be back in a while.”
Before the voice fell, there was a crisp sound of armor colliding at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and one person stepped in first.
During this period of time, Fu Zixian seemed to grow taller again. Half of his long hair was tied up, revealing a pair of ears, and the rest hangs behind him, entwined with a long hair ribbon. The moment the wind came in from behind him, he lifted his long hair in front of him, faintly drifting past him. A handsome face.
After Fu Zixian came in, Fang took two steps, and the moment he raised his eyes he saw Mu Yang and Wen Yantong standing by the side of the clean room, and their footsteps suddenly stopped.
The author has something to say: [Talk about the mood of seeing Wen Yantong at that time]:
Mu Yang: I [BEEP]! You [BEEP], what he [BEEP] is really [BEEP] a dog! I almost vomited. I kept thinking that she was my good brother in my heart, so I didn’t stop beating her.
Happy New Year everyone~~ May everything be smooth and happy in the new year.
I hope that the epidemic will be brought under control as soon as possible, and the sick compatriots will recover sooner.
You should also pay attention and take good care of yourself and your family.
Love you~~
