Chapter 97(1/2)

What a coincidence

Although Mantuo Villa has a rich family, traveling with carriages and horses is not just about money.

Generally, the lowest grade of carriages commonly seen in the world is a donkey pulling a cart, which is used by woodcutters in the mountains.

An ordinary house usually has a horse and a carport.

The carport is not big, only about seven or eight feet long and five or six feet high. There can be at most one low stool inside.

You can usually get by if you walk a short distance, but if you walk a long distance, it will be torture.

Therefore, there is also a kind of carriage specially designed for long-distance travel. It is usually pulled by more than two horses, and the carriage shed is also much larger.

Not only can you store your accompanying luggage in the carport, there is even a hardwood couch for sleeping on your side.

Among the luxury carriages on the market, this is the one Li Qingluo chose.

Four horses pull the carriage, and the carriage shed supports wooden beams. The exterior is covered with a leather shed to protect it from rain, and the interior is lined with cotton wool and fur.

It is equivalent to a mobile cabin.

According to Chen Xuan's idea, he originally wanted to have a chariot and horse palace pulled by dozens of horses.

However, Li Qingluo shot her back with a look that looked like a country bumpkin.

Because today's official roads in the Song Dynasty are only wide enough for four horses to drive abreast, taking into account the number of people coming from the past.

Some mountain roads are not even enough for four horses to ride abreast.

So this time we went to Songshan, this four-horse carriage was considered to be of the highest standard.

"You think I don't want to feel better? You're a brainless thing~"

Li Qingluo cursed bitterly.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xuan immediately sneered.

Now that all the girls are gathered in front of the villa, Chen Xuan was still weighing who to bring with him.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo bumped into his knife edge.

He had an excuse to get angry, so he took Li Qingluo to the first carriage.

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, but because she was worried, she hurriedly chased after him.

Later, Qin Hongmian, Mu Wanqing, and an accompanying maid got into the second car.

Gan Baobao, Zhong Ling, and an accompanying maid took the third car.

Dao Baifeng took some time off and finally enjoyed the treatment of a princess.

I was sitting in the fourth car with two maids.

The last remaining carriage was piled with some accompanying clothing and luggage.

As a result, five carriages loaded with Chen Xuan and his family finally set off on the road.

Although there are three people in a carriage, the space inside is actually quite spacious.

The wooden couches for people to rest on were also wrapped in fox fur, and the front and back were separated by bead curtains, which were divided into two small rooms.

Chen Xuan pulled Li Qingluo into the car and started to take action angrily.

To be honest, he got a little angry when he saw her elegant and noble dress this morning.

Li Qingluo frowned slightly, saying that she scolded him the most, but at the moment she didn't fight back much.

Just when the two of them were following the current, something good was about to happen.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan suddenly picked up the hem of her skirt and got into the carriage.

After all, Li Qingluo still had some scruples, so she hurriedly pushed Chen Xuan away and hid in the back room with a guilty conscience.

Chen Xuan didn't expect that Wang Yuyan would chase after him. He felt a little embarrassed and pretended to cough slightly.

"Miss Wang, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

Wang Yuyan happened to see his absurdity. At this moment, she bit her teeth and felt extremely hateful in her heart.

Chen Xuan usually talked about the truth one by one, but he still felt a little guilty when he was really caught.

Li Qingluo is still inside now.

He was afraid that Wang Yuyan would get angry with him and Li Qingluo would be angry and run away too.

At that moment, my thoughts changed and I pretended to be indifferent.

"Miss Wang, do you know where I am going this time?"

Wang Yuyan really wanted to talk about him, but seeing his serious look, she couldn't help but frown.

"How would I know."

"I want to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple."

"Songshan Shaolin Temple? What are you doing there?"

She was a little surprised, but after all, she was alert and quickly thought of the Heroes Conference Bao BuTong mentioned, and was suddenly shocked.

"Are you going to attend the Shaolin Temple's Heroes Conference?"

"To be precise, I want to go find Murong Fu."

"What are you doing to find Cousin Murong?"

Wang Yuyan had a vague premonition.

She had a deep relationship with Murong Fu.

Far from the superficial friendship between Mu Wanqing and Duan Yu, who fell in love at first sight, they were serious childhood sweethearts.

The Murong family and Mantuo Villa are family friends, and they are not far apart.

It can be said that Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu grew up playing in the mud together.

It's just that the two of them have their own identities, so they don't behave like ordinary children.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Yuyan would study martial arts secrets, while Murong Fu would dance with his sword and perform moves, and she would comment and give guidance on his behalf.

The two of them work together in a tacit understanding, and it feels like meeting a close friend in the mountains and rivers.

Ever since Wang Yuyan first fell in love, she had always thought about becoming the couple of the gods with Murong Fu.

This is true even now.

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up when Wang Yuyan mentioned her cousin Murong, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy in his heart.

Wang Yuyan came back to her senses and glanced at Chen Xuan, as if she had guessed what he was thinking.

He raised his snow-white gooseneck slightly, raised his chin, and said with a bit of coldness and arrogance.

"Chen Shaoxia, you can take action. Yu Yan sees herself as untainted by the mud. Even if she is stained by the mud, she still wants to see the bright moon."

"Mingyue? You mean Murong Fu?"

"My cousin is immaculate in literary talent and martial virtue, and is proud of his family background and appearance. Why should I treat him like the bright moon in my heart?"

Chen Xuan looked at Wang Yuyan's arrogant look and couldn't help but sneer.

"It's interesting~ You can get out of the mud without getting stained, right? I want to see if you get stained today!"

"Stop! Chen, if you bully my daughter, I will kill you on the spot."

He just wanted to scare Wang Yuyan, but Li Qingluo stopped him behind him.

This is what Chen Xuan fears most.

Not only did he not catch anything now, but these two women also suppressed him.

But he couldn't take action directly right now, otherwise he might be in trouble.

"Why did you bring them here? It would be nice to take them apart a little bit."

Chen Xuan secretly sighed that he was unlucky.

However, Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan had already come up, so he couldn't drive them away.

Outside the car window, the motorcade left Mantuo Villa, slowly and leisurely left Gusu City, heading north.

……………………

The traffic keeps going day and night.

Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan share the same hatred, so Chen Xuan cannot get any advantage.

He simply drove the carriage day and night, hoping to find Murong Fu as soon as possible and force him to hand over the secret book of "Dou Zhuan Xing Yuan".

After walking like this for eight or nine days, on the morning of the tenth day, I went up the mountain road early in the morning.

By noon, the terrain was getting higher and higher, and finally we were so exhausted that we could no longer go up.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to call everyone out of the car and take a tour in the mountains temporarily, waiting for the horses to regain their strength.
