Chapter 198 Set off, encountered strong wind on the road

"Okay!" Shang Jingchuan nodded, then looked back at his daughter.

"Luoluo, it's getting late, we should set off!"

"Well, let's go then!"

Shang Luo responded quietly, and then followed his father to the door.

The carriage was already ready. When getting on the carriage, Shang Luoluo took one last look at the street in the distance.

I saw that the long street was empty. Except for some pedestrians who got up early, there was no figure that I expected to see.

Too.

I didn't tell him the specific date at all, so how could he know that he was leaving today?

Shang Luoluo laughed to himself, and then boarded the carriage a little lonely.

Shang Jingchuan in the distance couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this scene.

He had already guessed his daughter's thoughts.

Otherwise, why would Shang Luoluo, who always does things neatly and neatly, take such a long time when going out this time?

This is obviously waiting for someone.

But knowing that Gui Gui knew it, he didn't say anything, he just coughed lightly and then said to the guard commander of this team.

"Let's go!"

"yes!"

Accompanied by the sound of whips waving, the convoy slowly started moving towards the East City Gate.

Shang Luoluo was sitting in the carriage. Although she did not lift the curtain, she could still clearly distinguish her current position based on the speed of the vehicle and the direction of the turn.

Now he must have turned out of Lion Street and entered the street leading to the East City Gate, because the carriage became obviously bumpy, and there was a faint aroma of fried dough sticks, fried buns and other breakfast items outside.

There is a morning market here. Shang Luoluo often came here to have breakfast when he had nothing to do, so he is very familiar with this place.

After waiting here, it will take about a stick of incense to reach the city gate.

This time is stuck very accurately. When we arrive at the city gate, the city gate should be opened just in time, without hindering the passage at all.

In fact, she knew very well that her father must have noticed something, but he just didn't say anything.

And it's best not to see her at this time. After all, seeing her will have no effect except adding sadness.

But somehow, as the carriage continued to move forward, Shang Luoluo began to be more and more eager to see Zhao Ya.

Even if it's just a glance from a distance.

This irrational impulse was like a flame, burning her brain.

Shang Luoluo could only take a deep breath, then close his eyes, trying his best not to think about these things.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled and then slowly stopped.

what happened?

You shouldn’t have reached the city gate yet?

Shang Luoluo opened his eyes with some confusion, lifted the curtain of the car and looked forward.

Then she froze.

Because there were two people standing in front of the motorcade, one tall and one short, one male and one female.

The man is tall and heroic, while the woman is petite and delicate.

Who are they if it's not Zhao Ya and Zui'er.

When he saw Shang Luoluo, Zhao Ya smiled at her.

"Miss Shang, are you not being a good friend enough by leaving without saying goodbye?"

Somehow, after seeing Zhao Ya's smile, Shang Luoluo felt a warm current surge in his heart, and the previous anxiety was swept away.

She brushed the stray hair around her ears, smiled lightly and said, "I just don't want to disturb you, but what are you two doing?"

She noticed the bags Zhao Ya and Zui'er were carrying on their backs, and she had some vague guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to confirm, so she asked cautiously.

"It just so happens that I have to go to the capital for something, so Miss Shang...can you allow us to take a ride?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

Shang Luoluo finally realized what it meant to be pleasantly surprised. She was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

"good!"

Shang Jingchuan watched this scene from a distance. When he saw the bright smile on his daughter's face, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion like an old father.

"It's so...girls are so outgoing!"

The sourness in his words was obvious, as if a pot of flowers that he had carefully cultivated had been taken away with both the flower and the pot.

These guards did not dare to say a word.

However, they fully supported Zhao Ya's joining.

Because in today's Yunxiao County, who doesn't know how powerful this young hero Zhao Ya is?

With his joining, this trip to the capital will be much safer.

After exiting the East City Gate, the convoy turned into the official road and then headed down the direction of the capital.

Zui'er looked back at Jun Cheng, his eyes full of nostalgia.

This city left many good impressions on her, and now that she suddenly left, she naturally felt a little reluctant to leave.

Shang Luoluo was also looking back, but what she was looking at was not the county city, but the young man riding a horse beside the convoy.

The only trace of separation sadness was dispelled by the sudden appearance of this young man.

At this moment, Shang Luoluo felt that his heart was filled with happiness.

Zhao Ya didn't notice this. He was chatting with Shang Jingchuan at this time.

"Why is Shaoxia Zhao going to the capital?" Shang Jingchuan asked.

"Uncle, just call me Xiaoya. I am going this time to see the world. After all, my martial arts has reached a bottleneck and cannot be broken through overnight." Zhao Ya said.

Although Shang Jingchuan always felt that Zhao Ya's purpose was not that simple, but since he had said so, it was not easy to ask further questions.

"There are many capable people in the capital of Dayan, Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers. Although you have made great achievements, Xiaoya, you must be more careful after you go there and don't be blindly impulsive."

Shang Jingchuan warned with some worry.

What he was most worried about was that Zhao Ya would act out of anger after arriving in the capital. In that case, if something went wrong, wouldn't his daughter's life be ruined?

As Shang Luoluo's father, he knew his daughter very well.

She is naturally smart, but her personality is very stubborn. As long as she is determined about someone or something, it is difficult to change it.

So even if he had any objections to Zhao Ya, he didn't dare to say anything, but had to be careful to remind him.

Zhao Ya smiled and nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, I have always been mature and prudent and will never act impulsively."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zui'er poked his head out from the carriage in front and shouted: "Brother Xiaoya, Sister Luoluo wants you to come here!"

When Zhao Ya heard this, he cupped his hands towards Shang Jingchuan and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Then he rode away.

Looking at his back, Shang Jingchuan muttered in a low voice: "What a prudent old man, is there such a prudent person as to almost overthrow the entire county?"

Shang Jingchuan still had fresh memories of what Zhao Ya had done, so he felt that what he said was nonsense.

At this time, Zhao Ya came to Shang Luoluo's carriage. Shang Luoluo opened the curtain and smiled at him.

"What did my father just say to you?"

"I didn't say anything. I just warned me not to be impulsive and to be careful when I get to the capital."

"Hmph, I knew he would say this. You don't need to pay attention to him. He is just like that. Sometimes he is so cautious that he is afraid of hitting his head if a leaf falls." Shang Luoluo said.

Zhao Ya laughed dumbly, "Is that what you said about your father?"

"What I said is the truth, can't you let me say it again?" Shang Luoluo said with a smile.

"Okay, let me go to the front and take a look!"

Zhao Ya always felt that Shang Jingchuan was getting angry when he looked at her from behind, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.

"Well, when it's time to eat later, you come over and eat with me. The food I bring is much better than the others." Shang Luoluo did not forget to express concern.

Zhao Ya nodded and rode away.

In this way, the convoy moved slowly towards the capital at a speed of seventy or eighty miles per day.

This is because the official road leading to the capital is relatively new, otherwise the speed would be even slower.

But Shang Luoluo is not in a hurry at all. Sometimes he even feels that the longer the road, the better. It is best to take it for a year and a half.

Ten days later.

Their group had already left Yunxiao County and arrived at Fengwei County.

Fengwei County was once famous all over the world for its merchants, and it was a very wealthy place among counties like Dayan.

But when Zhao Ya and his party entered Fengwei County, they clearly felt the withering atmosphere that hit their faces.

Whether it is the official road that has not been taken care of for a long time or the abandoned and collapsed post station on the roadside, they all show the fact that this place has declined.

Not only that, Zhao Ya also noticed that bones and signs of fighting often appeared on the roadside.

Sometimes you can see burned carriages.

This all proves that Fengwei County is very unstable.

"Be vigilant, pay special attention to whether anyone suspicious is approaching." Zhao Ya said in a deep voice.

Now, he has replaced the position of the guard commander and has become the boss of these guards.

In this regard, the guard commander not only did not complain, but was very impressed.

Because along the way, Zhao Ya's strength has deeply impressed these people.

After hearing his instructions, these guards also knew that the situation was serious, so they made preparations.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the further inside it became, the more shocking the sight it saw became.

Most of the villages and shops he passed through were abandoned, and some even showed signs of being set on fire.

Even in those villages where there are still residents, people's lives are extremely difficult.

Zhao Ya had personally seen an eight or nine-year-old child working naked in the cold weather of early spring without even a pair of pants.

When the convoy passed by, these children would scatter like frightened birds, and then hide in the distance and look at Zhao Ya and others with vigilant eyes.

In this case, let alone an inn, there was no place to stay.

He could only survive on the dry food he brought with him.

On this day, when everyone was on their way, a strong wind suddenly blew.

The strong wind swept the sand and dust, blocking the sky and the sun. It was just afternoon, but it turned dark in an instant, as if it was night.

Not only that, the trees along the road were uprooted and their branches were blown everywhere.

In such extremely bad weather, it is absolutely impossible to continue on the road, because horses are easily frightened under such conditions.

You must quickly find a place to take shelter from the wind, otherwise the car may be destroyed and people may be killed.

While Zhao Ya was calming the frightened horses, he was shouting loudly and commanding everyone.

At the same time, his eyes kept wandering in the distance, trying to find a suitable place.

soon.

He then noticed an abandoned inn next to the official road.

Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, many places have collapsed.

But most of the walls are still intact, just enough to keep out the wind.

So he shouted: "Quick, everyone get into that inn!"

As he said that, he rushed forward at the lead, and everyone followed closely behind, and finally entered the inn.

With the protection of the wall, the wind is less strong.

Zhao Ya asked people to surround the carriages to prevent the horses from being frightened, and he began to inspect the inn.

The inn had been abandoned for a long time, and most of the houses were uninhabitable, but a few rooms were still intact, so Zhao Ya let Shang Luoluo and Zui'er take shelter inside.

After finishing all this, Zhao Ya still felt a little uneasy, so he went outside and jumped up to a high ground, carefully observing his surroundings.
