Chapter 72:
Startled Horse
And aside, Zhao Shi's heart simply hated Su
Qingping, only think that if this Su Qingping didn’t make some things, the
family would not have chosen this day to come to the Bailong Temple, not to
mention the inexplicable provocation of the Junwang Mingyue!
Zhao Shi's eyes flashed a ruthless colour, suddenly proposed: "Ping Biaomei, I heard that you are recently not eating well, but also cannot sleep well. Why don't you stay at the Bailong Temple for a few days?"
Su Qingping’s face changed, so fast that almost no
one saw, immediately returned to normal, said: "Thanks for Elder Biao
Sao ‘s concern, Qingping ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was
already interrupted by Zhao Shi: "Ping Biaomei, I am afraid you do
not know that this Bailong Temple is a famous temple, a place of retreat, and
the medicinal food of this Bailong Temple is one of the best. Ping Biaomei,
you stay here for a few days, you can also cultivate your body and take care of
your health."
Su Shi glanced meaningfully at Zhao Shi, she
certainly knows that Zhao Shi holds a grudge against Su Qingping for what
happened a few days ago. She also knows that this is a matter regarding Hang Jie’er.
If don’t let Zhao Shi vent her anger, I'm afraid it will not stop. And her own
niece is really going to be in trouble. Although Zhao shi slightly embarrassed
her about the food matters, her niece made trouble with what nightmares ah,
fainting ah ...... disturbed the whole Manor’s peace.
Su Shi pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and
cons, and nodded: "Ping'er, your Eldest Biao sao is right, this
Bailong Temple's medicinal cuisine is indeed good. You can stay here for three
days to recuperate properly.”
Su Qingping's face suddenly turned pale. Since Su
Shi said so, how could she refuse it? But after thinking about it, there is
nothing wrong with it. Those who can go to Bailong Temple to offer incense to
the Buddha are not ordinary people. Maybe she can have the opportunity to meet
some noble people here!
Thinking of this, she bent her head and bowed,
" Auntie thank you for your affection!"
"Biaomei, you can stay in peace, when I
return to the Manor, I will immediately send someone to send your belongings
over!" Zhao Shi acted as if she was very friendly, but in her heart, she
was thinking coldly: Humph, since you don't like the food in the Manor, let's
give you a taste of what is really a simple meal. Since you don't like sleeping
in the Manor, let you try how pleasant the sound of the bell at dawn every
morning in Bailong is!
These two people have different thoughts, Nangong
Yue watching at the side only felt amusing. Let dogs bite each other for good.
************
After having lunch and resting for a while,
everyone was ready to return back to the residence, leaving only Su Qingping
and her maid Liu Rong to stay here.
The four carriages had been parked not far outside
the Bailong Temple, and the guards and maids waiting outside had prepared the
stepping stools for the carriages as soon as they saw their masters coming out.
Nangong Hang followed Su Shi into the first
carriage, seeing this, Zhao shi only rejoiced and certainly did not oppose. In
this family, Su Shi's affection represents the status of the family.
Zhao Shi hold her skirt and was about to get on the
second carriage when she suddenly stalled, thinking that Chen Lin and Lin Shi's
brother were old acquaintances for many years, she thought of asking Lin Shi
about how the Chen family really was, so she turned to Lin Shi who was walking
to the third carriage and said, "Second Dimei, please wait a
moment."
Lin Shi stopped in her footsteps and was about to
ask what but she saw Zhao Shi smilingly come over and take her hand. Because
she was asking for help, Zhao Shi's tone was a little bit more amiable than
usual, and she said with an intimate face: "Second Dimei, I have
something to say to you, would you like to join me?"
Lin Shi turned her head somewhat hesitant to look
at her daughter and saw her nod encouragingly to herself, then she smiled and
nodded her head and turned to Zhao Shi and said, "Yes,
sister-in-law."
"Let's get into the carriage." Zhao Shi
was instantly pleased and took Lin Shi's hand affectionately, then pulled her
towards the second carriage.
In this way, Nangong Yue and Yi Mei were only in
one carriage.
After a few people got into the carriage, the
coachman waved his whip, and the wheels of the carriage rolled. Among the horse
carriages, Su Shi was the most honoured. Naturally, her carriage went in the
forefront, and had the most escorts, making a grand appearance. Zhao Shi's
carriage was in the middle, with eight family guards beside it. Nangong Yue's
carriage was the last, with the least number of family guards beside it.
When they arrived, the whole journey was very
smooth. But when they returned and just entered the city gates, they found that
the streets in front of them were swarming with a crazy crowd rushing forward.
The carriages were accidentally scattered by the crowd.
This street is not very spacious and can only
accommodate two carriages at a time. Considering the large number of passers-by
and stalls on both sides, the Nangong family's carriages were following one
another. And now the crowd suddenly started a commotion, in order to avoid
hitting people, the carriage driver slowed down the speed.
Feeling that the speed of the carriage was getting
slower and slower, Nangong Yue couldn't help frowning slightly. Yimei hurriedly
opened the curtains on the side of the carriage to look out, and saw that the
carriage was surrounded by people. The other carriages of the Nangong family
could no longer be seen in front of them. Apparently, the carriage they were
riding in was also separated from the carriage in front of them.
"Third Maiden, we got separated from the other
carriages."
Hearing this, Nangong Yue frowned slightly, but she
heard screams of exclamations coming from outside, one after another, the sound
of things smashing, cursing, the crying of children... The horse pulling the
carriage was obviously frightened and stepped on his hooves. The coachman
hurriedly tightened the reins and reassured the horse.
The situation seems to be somewhat out of control
...... Nangong Yue also lifted the curtain and carefully looked out. I saw that
the street outside was already in chaos and in a mess. A dozen feet away, a
masked young man in green clothes is riding towards her in this direction. In
front of the young man also sat a man wearing a black cloak, the man on the
horse seems to have a staggering look, I do not know is seriously injured, or
......
Behind the two, a team of Jin Yiwei wearing flying
fish uniforms rode in hot pursuit. Obviously, the commotion on the street was
caused by them.
Seeing that two people and a horse have been
running towards them, the distance is getting closer and closer. Nangong Yue
had a bad feeling, just wanted to call the carriage driver to pull over to the
side of the road, but heard an angry sharp scream: "My pear, who knocked
over my pear ....”
The horse pulling the carriage was still in shock,
this fright, and completely out of control, pulling the carriage frantically
forward to run ......The street suddenly became more chaotic, screaming and
shouting
With the carriage violently bumping and shaking,
Yimei inside the carriage was also scared by this sudden situation and
screamed, the whole person was at a loss for words. Nangong Yue grabbed the
window and tried to stabilise her body, trying to calm herself down.
The carriage ran forward frantically for a while,
and the speed of the car finally slowed down again. Nangong Yue and Yimei just
relaxed a sigh of relief, but did not expect the carriage curtain to suddenly
lift. A green figure with a black shadow fell sharply into the carriage,
immediately stabilising the body, the right hand a silver glittering sword
pointed straight at them ......
Just see the young man’s thin body and black hair
with a green headband tied behind the head. His face was half covered with a
green square scarf, a pair of black eyes deep and sharp, staring at the two of
them like wolves. And the person in black cloak leaning in the arms of the
young man is not moving, only the weak breathing on chest shows that this was
not a dead person ......
These two are actually the ones who are being
chased by Jin Yiwei just now!
