Chapter 193: Confused
"Get out, get out, it's a big deal to lose!"
Getting off Xie Wei's carriage, the more Jiang Xuening thought about it, the more angry she became, gritted her teeth and muttered in a low voice, angrily kicked on the shaft of the carriage, turned around and stamped her feet, and walked towards her carriage.
Jianshu drove the carriage and dared not speak.
Seeing her, Daoqin also buried her head low.
Jiang Xuening lifted the curtain of the car and sat in the car, still feeling dispirited: When she was in Beijing in the past, how could she think that Xie Wei had a good temper? From the time we met in Jinling to now on the road, it can be called moody! She was obviously still smiling in front of her, and she was in a good mood, almost making her forget who this person is, what he has done, and what he will do, but in the end, he turned his face ruthlessly with just one word!
Isn't it just a game of chess?
There is no one to play with along the way and you won't die. When the matter at the border is over, how far can my aunt go!
Jiang Xuening was muttering something, and she simply fell down and wanted to sleep with her head covered, but after thinking about it, Xie Wei's unbeaten face was still dangling in her head, not only did she not feel sleepy, but became more and more energetic.
She can be regarded as grateful.
There is no need for Xie Wei to shake her face for the rest of the journey. She will give Xie Wei his face. The posture of communication.
On the first day of September, they entered the territory of Tai'an, Shandong.
After discussion, everyone decided to settle in the city and make some adjustments.
When the carriage passed the city gate, it needed to stop for inspection. Jiang Xuening heard what seemed to be begging outside in the carriage.
She opened the curtain to take a look.
A group of ordinary people gathered under the city wall, both men and women, surrounded a monk carrying a suitcase and questioned him endlessly. The monk's robes worn by the monk had been torn between pushing and shoving, and he kept explaining and begging for something. However, the more he talked, the more he seemed to arouse the anger of those around him. Finally, a woman who was pulling the child spit on his face, and then a tall and strong man next to him punched the monk in the face.
Things got out of hand immediately.
The gathered people seemed to have fear and anger on their faces. After one person made a move, he immediately followed, and all his fists and feet fell on the monk.
This movement is not small at all.
Jiang Xuening frowned.
There were already guards at the gate of the city, and as soon as they saw this posture, they immediately went there and loudly reprimanded and blocked them.
Xie Wei sat in the car in front, so he could see more clearly.
A guard is checking to let them into the city.
Xie Wei asked nonchalantly, "What happened over there?"
The guard had passed the road guide and saw that this group of people were either rich or noble, so he didn't dare to be perfunctory, but thinking of what happened in the city recently, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "What else can happen? Call the soul."
Xie Wei raised his eyebrows: "Soul?"
The guard said: "I don't know if you come from outside. A while ago, a bridge was going to be built outside the Wufu Temple in the city. The Taoist priest of Xuguan said that this is the evil method of demons. When a person's name is written on paper, the soul will be called away and thrown into the bridge pier. With the bridge of human soul, it will be stronger when built. No, Just now this monk was walking around with his alms bowl, and someone discovered that there was hair hidden in the box, what is it that is not used for evil methods?"
Another gang of guards has gone over to stop the situation.
Can't hold back the anger of the crowd.
Especially the woman who was pulling the child, her voice was high-pitched: "Didn't you want to call my son's soul, why did you ask his name? There is still hair hidden in the box, how dare you say you are not! What is going to happen to my son? You must pay for your life! Pull him to see the officer, drag him to the officer!"
The monk was dragged, his face was bruised and purple, and he cried, "I just saw that your son is kind-hearted and wants to pray for him..."
But no one listened to his defense.
The guards managed to stabilize the situation, quickly tied him up, and dragged him to the officer. Only then did the woman at the spot hold the baby and cry loudly, while the rest surrounded the guards and went to the yamen together.
Xie Wei watched for a moment.
Swordsmen and swordsmen couldn't help but look back at him.
But he smiled slowly, without the slightest intention of answering, gently lowered the curtain of the car, and said: "Let's go."
At this time, Jiang Xuening's carriage came up quite a bit, and this scene happened to be in his eyes.
I really can't tell what it feels like.
Xie Wei looked at the group of people, his eyes were dim, but he couldn't tell whether it was pity or sarcasm, and when he lowered his eyes lightly, all his emotions disappeared, and even revealed a kind of astonishing...
indifferent.
Will people be called ghosts when their names are written on paper?
I also know that this is impossible.
After hearing the Taoist's words, the common people believed in it, and even panicked about it. The woman just heard the monk ask her child's name, so she quarreled endlessly, and the people around her were even more frightened and angry. They would rather believe it or not, and beat them indiscriminately. Meet the officer...
Jiang Xuening felt a slight chill in her heart.
Especially thinking of Xie Wei's expression just now.
When passing through the city gate, the noisy sound was already far away, but for some reason, she suddenly recalled the story about the Yin County asking for food tax compensation that Lu Xian told herself——
What does Xie Wei think of people and the world?
The unhappiness she had accumulated for several days due to boredom was suddenly suppressed by other things.
When they arrived at the inn, all the people had a rest.
During dinner in the evening, Jian Shu went out for a while and came back to talk to Xie Wei for a while. Jiang Xuening couldn't hear it very clearly from a distance, but she only vaguely knew that the "soul calling" incident seemed to be a battle between the heavenly religion and Buddhism, and someone secretly was fanning the flames and fueling the flames.
She thought Xie Wei would do something.
I didn't expect this person to let it go after listening, and he didn't mean to intervene in the slightest.
They only rested in the inn for half a day, fed the horses, ate, brought some dry food and water, and then left the city in the afternoon and took the official road to the north.
She couldn't help wondering: "Leave in the afternoon, why not just rest for a day?"
Daoqin was still the same as before, sitting on the horse, walking beside her, and said: "The further north you go, the colder it gets, and the weather will also enter winter. We have to get to the border before the snow arrives."
Jiang Xuening frowned.
After thinking about it, I felt that it made sense, so I simply didn't want to.
The sky was getting dark gradually, and I felt sleepy after a while in the car.
After walking for seven or eight miles, she yawned and felt sleepy, so she put on the thick blanket and prepared to lie down. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to move, the curtain of the car suddenly lifted in the darkness, and a gust of wind blew in, followed by another shadow sneaking into the car!
Jiang Xuening was shocked!
One must know that Daoqin Jianshu and dozens of other masters are on both sides, but there was no abnormal noise outside just now, and even when this person came in, the car was still moving, how terrifying it must be figure?
At this moment, her whole body was tense, and she was about to scream.
However, the movement of the comer was extremely fast, he rushed forward and covered her mouth with one stroke.
The slightly cool palm is calm and powerful.
The other person's face was also getting closer, and a few wisps of hot breath fell on her ears, making her goose bumps all over her body. At this time, through the extremely dim light outside the blown car curtain, some familiar outlines can be seen.
It turned out to be Xie Wei? !
Jiang Xuening blinked in shock, and finally didn't dare to move.
Yes.
There were obviously so many people outside, if it wasn't for Xie Wei, how could there be no movement at all?
But what is the situation now?
She was a little confused.
Xie Wei's clear and handsome face seemed blurred in the darkness, like a dormant beast, giving people a sense of danger. The two thin lips were tightly pressed together, but a pair of eyes quietly peeped out through the narrow gap in the car curtain.
Jiang Xuening looked out along the way.
It took a lot of effort to barely realize that there was a fork in the official road ahead, and their car continued to head north, while the carriage that Xie Wei was riding in turned westward without a sound when passing the fork , went on the fork in the road, and gradually disappeared among the overlapping tree shadows!
Although Jiang Xuening is not considered to be ice-snow smart, but after seeing this posture, there is still something she doesn't understand——
Someone is after them.
For a moment, my heart beat like a drum.
She didn't dare to move, she was afraid that she would accidentally spoil Xie Wei's plan, and let him press herself in the soft blanket, covered her mouth, and didn't even dare to take a breath.
