Chapter 216 The Real Big Crisis
Originally, Li Xiaodao thought that after the attack, he would start to hurry again tonight, but he didn't expect that not only the team was moving at a normal speed, but also that Brother Liu stopped the team after arriving at the post station not long after dark, and ordered the team to rest here tonight, without any panic look like.

"Sir, since the assassins can be sent to attack, it means that Concubine Yan has already known our whereabouts. At this time, shouldn't I rush to the capital as soon as possible at this time?" Li Xiaodao was extremely puzzled.

Pei Zhiqi, however, was still as unhurried as usual. After the soldiers opened the curtain of the carriage, he took his valuables with him, then got up and lifted up his clothes and got out of the carriage.

Seeing that the lady was still thinking, Pei Zhiqi stood under the carriage and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't worry about letting the team go on the road overnight, it should have been arranged already. Don't worry, lady, get out of the car and rest first."

Xianggong's voice brought Li Xiaodao back to her senses, she blinked her eyes as if her head had turned around suddenly, and replied: "That's right!" Then she got up and jumped off the carriage, her small body landed firmly in Xianggong's arms inside.

But when the team entered the post station to pack up and start to eat dinner, Li Xiaodao still couldn't help asking.

During the meal, Liu Xin sat with Mrs. Pei, Pei's father, Pei's mother, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi's young couple, so it was convenient to ask questions.

"Brother Liu, is it alright if we take a leisurely rest here? Concubine Yan already knows that we are approaching the capital, so shouldn't we be hurrying on our way now?" Li Xiaodao looked at Liu Xin, and asked this sentence in doubt , picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up food for Mrs. Pei and Pei's father and mother, but found that the husband was already picking up food, so the two looked at each other and smiled.

After Li Xiaodao finished asking, Mrs. Pei also looked at Liu Xin, and Pei's father and mother looked at each other, with a worried look in their eyes.

Liu Xin looked at Li Xiaodao, then at Pei Zhiqi, and laughed loudly:

"Where is it so leisurely? It's hard for everyone to drive at night every day!" Liu Xin replied with a smile: "It's not a problem, at the speed we are traveling, we can arrive in the capital on New Year's Eve. Everyone can be well." Have a delicious New Year's Eve dinner; as for other things, I have arranged everything, so you don't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Pei smiled and nodded: "Liu Xin is prudent in his work, he should be confident, and there will be nothing wrong with listening to his arrangements."

As soon as Mrs. Pei finished speaking, the slightly tense atmosphere relaxed again, and everyone resumed talking and laughing, chatting while eating; at night, the official post burned the fire in the lobby extremely vigorously, and the dry and warm air made people feel fresh again. Warm to the feet.

After eating and drinking enough and having a good night's sleep, I wake up the next day feeling refreshed and on my way.

*

Since the last attack, the team has marched safely for two days.

It's finally New Year's Eve, but walking in the wilderness in a carriage, it really doesn't feel like a New Year.Only by passing through the village by chance, you can smell the aroma of steamed buns and fried fruits from every household in the north, and naughty naughty boys running around together in twos and threes on the side of the road, and you can hear a few sporadic firecrackers that sound a little early from time to time. Only in this way can you taste the taste of the years.

When passing through the village, Li Xiaodao likes to lift up all the curtains of the carriage, and the fragrance is sent into the carriage along with the bitter winter wind. Her nose is red from the cold and she inhales it with great pleasure. Even Pei Zhiqi is also cold. His cheeks gradually turned red.

"Haha! Mr., hold on, I'll put down the curtain in a while," Li Xiaodao said to Pei Zhiqi while looking outside.

"It's okay, I can bear the cold," Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile, but there was a rare trace of worry in his smile.

"Hey, I don't believe that! I grew up by the sea in the south, so I haven't tasted such a cold winter! Even in the provincial capital, I have never seen Xianggong wear a jacket made by his mother in winter, but this time he came to the north Xianggong can't live without it!"

I almost blurted out that the temperature in the north is at least degrees below zero, so my husband will have to struggle to understand his strange speech, but fortunately he held back in time.

The village was getting farther and farther away, and finally satisfied with seeing it, Li Xiaodao retracted his head, and quickly put the curtains away, wanting to see if Xianggong was frozen, but found that Xianggong frowned slightly, as if he was faintly worried.

"Sanggong, what's the matter?" Li Xiaodao tilted his head in doubt, "If there is anything worrying about you, please tell me!"

Pei Zhiqi looked at Li Xiaodao, pulled her frozen red hands into his arms, and sighed softly: "If you go to Beijing this time, if you meet the lord and live in the palace, for the lady, it will not only be a journey from the free country and the busy city. After entering the cage, it is even more difficult to enter the siege of the city; if you fail to recognize the prince, there must be something wrong, and you don’t know what kind of swords and fires you will encounter... Just now I saw that the lady likes the countryside so much, and the lady has been living since she was a child. If you are free, after entering Beijing, you will be bound to many restrictions and even dangers..."

Li Xiaodao simply grabbed his husband's two palms with both hands, and put them on his cheeks, one on the left and one on the right, and his face, which was numb from the cold, suddenly felt warm.

"Whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​flames ahead, we are already here! We are here, afraid of what it will do!" Li Xiaodao replied very boldly.

Although the lady answered boldly, Pei Zhiqi couldn't easily relax. He fell into thought for a moment and fell silent.

Suddenly, Li Xiaodao seemed to think of something, and said with a grumpy face, "Master, I suddenly thought of something even more terrifying. Do you still remember that I gave you a gift on the way from Baima Village to the provincial capital?" Telling the story! Look, my husband! The wish of you, a scholar, to go to Beijing to rush for the exam has come true. If you get the No. There will be a chancellor or an emperor who will betroth a daughter or a princess to you, and then I will be sent home... Xianggong! This is my real crisis!"

Although what the lady said made some sense, for some reason, Pei Zhiqi still made Pei Zhiqi laugh a few times.

He lightly pinched the lady's cheek with his fingers, and said softly: "The scholar is not afraid of such a crisis."

Hearing Xianggong's answer, Li Xiaodao frowned and pondered: "It's natural! You have nothing to be afraid of marrying a new wife! Suddenly thinking about it, I have no relatives in the capital. Oh...then I can write my tragic experience into a storybook novel..."

"No, don't worry, lady."

Xianggong's voice suddenly interrupted the series of suffering in his mind.

Xianggong's voice is gentle and steady, which is really nice.

"I love to hear that." Li Xiaodao nodded in satisfaction: "But... what if the emperor really forces you to marry the princess? If you don't marry, will you lose your reputation? Although I heard that Prince Rong is also very powerful, but You can't disobey the emperor's order even if you are so powerful! Ah! I almost forgot, what if Prince Rong and the emperor both want you to marry the princess..."

Pei Zhiqi raised his hand and patted the lady's head lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it any more."

"This head doesn't listen to me. Once I start thinking about it, I can't stop. Mr., if..."

"If it's true what the lady said, I'll take off this Tsing Yi and go back to my hometown to raise silkworms and farm with the lady. The men plow and the women weave."

Li Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xianggong: "Really?"

"real."

She laughed loudly and said, "Then I'll just accept this good thing for now!"

The two talked and laughed, the winter morning was very cold, but the atmosphere in the carriage became lively.

Just as he was talking happily, suddenly there was a loud noise in front of him.

"Stop—!"

Following Liu Xin's loud and clear order, the marching team gradually stopped.

Li Xiaodao asked in confusion: "What happened?" She was about to open the small curtain to look outside, but Pei Zhiqi held her raised hand and stopped her.

"Don't worry, lady, I'll go down and have a look first." After saying that, he let Li Xiaodao sit obediently in the carriage, then he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

 I was busy with work a while ago, and when I got home, I put it up badly, so let everyone sit down!
  But since I said I would finish it, I will work hard to finish it!Will not cheat!
