This shadow guard, you are enlightened

The matter of Liangzhou Mansion is over, and Zhuo Ying's heart knot is also untied, but Xing Chenmu is worried about Zhuo Ying's body, so he should stay in Suiyang County for a few more days, and only after he fully recovers will he take the boat on the road .

After that, there were no twists and turns along the way until it entered the border of Jiangnan.

The south of the Yangtze River is a land of wealth and wealth in Ranying, where talents and beauties gather, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and outstanding people. Xing Chenmu took Zhuo Ying and others off the boat, turned back to the boatman and said, "There are laborers on the way. After that, we need to travel by land to our destination. Let it go."

The boatman bowed back and said goodbye to them.

On the way to the inn, Zhuo Ying was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't Mu'er say before our trip that we have no destination in this trip, so whichever we go counts?"

In fact, Zhuo Ying seemed to have realized before today that Xing Chenmu obviously had a plan for this trip. The destination of each stop and how long to stay are all in his plan. look.

"I originally thought so." Xing Chenmu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a smile, "But since I've come to Jiangnan, there's a place I want to take you to see."

Entering August, the moon in the sky is getting fuller, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Zhuo Ying raised his head following him, but couldn't see why, so he had to ask again: "Where is it?"

"You'll know when you get there." Xing Chenmu made a fool of himself and didn't say it directly.

Although there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the pier has already begun to be lively. Vendors selling lanterns and moon cakes have prepared their festive items early, calling out to travelers who come and go to the pier to take the opportunity to buy and take away.

Xing Chenmu also became interested for some reason, and pulled Zhuo Ying forward to pick out a lantern in the shape of a rabbit: "If I remember correctly, Ah Ying was born in the Year of the Rabbit?"

"Yes, Da Muer is four years old."

Xing Chenmu took out the money to buy the lamp and stuffed it into his hands, "Give it to you."

Zhuo Ying was stunned for a moment, looking at the children and girls with lanterns around him, he was a bit reluctant to refuse, but it seemed very strange for a big man to walk on the road with such a cute rabbit lantern, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Xing Chenmu seemed to see his embarrassment, so he asked the store for another lantern, which also had a rabbit pattern, which looked similar to the one in Zhuo Ying's hand, but handmade things couldn't be exactly the same, so they looked perfect together. Double in pairs.

After paying the money, he held it in his hand, and said to Zhuo Ying with a smile: "I'll accompany you, is that okay? Let's take it back first, and order it on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay." Zhuo Ying felt warm, and walked with Xing Chenmu to the left and right, the other shadow guards and Yan Qing Xiaoying only followed at a distance.

The streets in the south of the Yangtze River in the evening are particularly lively. Although Yueer has poked his head out, the sky is not completely dark. There are everything sold along the street, including rouge and jewelry for women, the four treasures of the study for men, and snacks that children love. Toy.

Both Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying came to Jiangnan for the first time, and they saw many foods they had never seen before. Xing Chenmu bought a portion of each food to share with Zhuo Ying, and when they walked to the inn, they were already a little full.

The inn was still arranged by the shadow guards in advance. After entering, Xing Chenmu ordered: "Prepare some fast horses for us and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." The clerk in the store responded and led them to the prepared room.

Ever since the two got close, Xing Chenmu has been pestering Zhuo Ying almost every night. Fortunately, Zhuo Ying is in good health, except for the discomfort at the beginning, as long as Xing Chenmu doesn't overdo it, he won't feel it after sleeping all night. What happened.

But this night, after the two of them lay down on the bed, Xing Chenmu was very peaceful.

Zhuo Ying waited, and it was a little strange to see that the other party was only planning to sleep well, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly about this matter, so he had to hold back, tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, without feeling sleepy.

After a while, there was a chuckle suddenly in the night, Xing Chenmu stretched out his hand to hug him closer, leaned into his ear and said, "A Ying can't sleep?"

"Hmm..." Zhuo Ying responded lightly, thinking that Xing Chenmu was going to do that, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, she took the initiative to untie the obscene clothes.

But before he took off his clothes, Xing Chenmu had already raised his hand and pressed on his wrist: "Let's have a good rest today."

Facing Zhuo Ying's puzzled eyes, Xing Chenmu kissed him on the forehead, and said with some ambiguity: "Tomorrow we will ride on horseback, the road may be a little hard, if... I'm afraid you will Hurt."

In fact, according to Xing Chenmu's plan, he didn't need to hurry, but in the first few days his arrow wound was not healed and he slowed down his trip, and later he was delayed in Suiyang County for a few days, and it was too late to come to Jiangnan.

Hearing these words, Zhuo Ying's face became more enthusiastic, but fortunately, he gradually got used to it in the past few days, and quickly calmed down and asked, "Is Mu'er still unwilling to tell me where to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you..." It's because I'm afraid that you will be nervous after hearing it, and you won't be able to take a good rest.

Xing Chenmu didn't say anything behind, he hugged him and patted him on the back: "It's a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival there is very lively. There are also lantern riddles, moon appreciation, and poems. I want Aying Come with me to see."

Zhuo Ying didn't think about who Xing Chenmu listened to, but felt that it was where Xing Chenmu wanted to go: "Okay, then we will leave early tomorrow."

"Well, go to sleep."

Zhuo Ying closed her eyes, listening to Xing Chenmu's steady heartbeat, she gradually fell asleep.

Xing Chenmu didn't feel much sleepy, he looked down at the Guanyin jade pendant Zhuo Ying was wearing under his collar, his mood was a little complicated, and he didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch outside.

The next day, after breakfast, Xing Chenmu approached Yan Qing to discuss that he should not bring too many people with him to the place he was going this time. Yan Qing, Xiaoying and the shadow guards were all left here to wait. Zhuoying, Yingba and Yingjiu are on the road.

The store prepared fast horses, dry food and snacks according to Xing Chenmu's instructions.

When Yingba went out and saw the number of the horses, he had a vague guess in his heart.

Sure enough, Xing Chenmu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, looked at Zhuo Ying innocently and said, "By the way, I don't know how to ride a horse, A Ying will take me with me."

The corners of Ying Jiu's eyes twitched, and she turned to look at Ying Ba, Ying Ba was very serious, as if she didn't notice that her master was opening his eyes and talking nonsense.

Although Xing Chenmu is far less proficient in equestrian skills than Xing Chenxiu, he is by no means perfect at it.

Even if it is an ordinary prince, riding and archery is one of the martial arts lessons that he has to learn since he was a child. What's more, after Xing Chenmu became the prince, the previous emperor's requirements for him were extremely strict. Why not talk about traveling.

But on the contrary, Zhuo Ying also seemed to be unaware of this, nodded directly and said: "Okay, then we will ride together."

As he spoke, he even raised his hand to hug Xing Chenmu onto the half-human tall white horse, and then jumped onto the horse's back, sat behind Xing Chenmu, took the reins, and glanced at Ying Ba and Ying Jiu faintly on the horse.

Ying Ba and Ying Jiu didn't dare to think any more, and they got on their horses one after another.

The whip fell, and the white horse rushed out towards the city gate first.

In the early morning, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the four rode their horses along the way, and the four quickly left the city. Zhuo Ying pulled the rein and was about to ask, Xing Chenmu had already seen the road signs, pointed to one of the small roads and said: "This head."

The small road still goes south, but after walking along the road for a while, there are almost no people, and there are no tea shops or small stalls on the road. It seems that few people usually pass by.

At noon, a few people found a small stream to draw water, ate the snacks and dry food they brought out, and continued on the road after a short rest.

But until it was getting dark and there was no place to stay, Ying Ba and Ying Jiu were a little worried, they rode their horses and drove forward slightly, and asked: "You two young masters, did we go to the wrong place?"

"Since we left the city, there is only one way, so how can there be any mistakes." Xing Chenmu smiled, turned to Zhuo Ying and said, "I'm wronged you to sleep nearby first, calculate the distance, and you should be able to do it before dark tomorrow." arrive."

"When I went to the Zhenbei Army before, I lived in no matter how bad the place was. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the climate is suitable, and it is very comfortable to camp outside. How can it be regarded as a grievance. I am afraid that Mu'er has never lived in such a place. , will be a little uncomfortable."

Xing Chenmu sighed when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to cover his hand holding the rein: "A Ying is still blaming me for sending you to the north?"

"Don't dare." Zhuo Ying withdrew her hand and got off the horse.

Naturally, he dared not blame it, but that kind of fear went deep into his bone marrow, and he often felt afraid.Now that he was in this wilderness, he recalled every long night when he camped out with the Northern Army of Zhenbei, and a chill appeared on his face unconsciously.

At this time, Xing Chenmu was too lazy to pretend he didn't know how to equestrian, so he got off the horse skillfully, pulled Zhuo Ying's head and said without answering: "See if there are any edible wild animals nearby, let's fetch water."

Ying Ba responded, without daring to lift his head, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, and he was relieved until the two of them walked away, and took Ying Jiu, who was still in a state of distress, to find something to eat .

As for Xing Chenmu, he really wanted to go to the stream to fetch water. After walking a few steps, he hung on Zhuo Ying like a brown candy after he left the sight of the two people: "Brother Zhuo, I was wrong, don't think about it again." That."

"Okay, I don't want to." Zhuo Ying turned around and smiled at Xing Chenmu, and didn't want to disturb the other party's interest in this trip because of the past, so he took him a few steps forward and said: "Let's go to the creek to see Is there any brook fish?"

Zhuo Ying was good at stabbing fish with a sword, almost every stab was accurate, and in the end he brought a lot of fish back, and Ying Ba and Ying Jiu also hunted a hare from the forest, this time it's not just dinner. Now, I don't even need to eat those dry food for tomorrow's lunch.

Originally, the other three people were worried that Xing Chenmu would not be used to living in the wild, but Xing Chenmu didn't have much rest at night, and he was a little tired after driving all day in the daytime. Not long after the meal, he leaned against Zhuo Ying and fell asleep. Zhuo Ying carried him to the bed On top of the good clothes, he added some more firewood to the fire, and lay down with him.

Ying Ba and Ying Jiu took turns to watch the night, not daring to disturb their rest, and also not daring to stay too far away, they suffered half the night.

In the early morning of the second day, the four of them continued on their way, and finally saw a small town not far away before sunset.

Turning on the small road leading to the town, Zhuo Ying looked at the stone tablet engraved on the side of the road, and saw the three characters "Lujia Town" clearly written on the stone tablet.

If he remembered correctly, the empress dowager was born in a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her surname was Lu.

Zhuo Ying reined in suddenly, and Xing Chenmu turned his head and smiled at him: "It's Mid-Autumn Festival, I just brought A Ying to meet the elders at home."
