Chapter 283 Youjunma
After this incident, You Heng no longer dared to wander in front of Xie Fengyue.
He looked at everyone eating seriously and secretly pulled Songshan to hide in a corner and bite his ears.
"Look if my mask needs to be changed." Gongziyan blinked frequently and felt that the mask still felt attached to his face before he asked Xiang Songshan.
In the dark, the big tree where the two of them were hiding was surrounded by four or five people who were probably dangling. The little firelight in the camp was no longer enough. How could they see clearly in Songshan Mountain?
He hesitated for a long time before replying: "Lang Jun, I still think that this is not a long-term solution. Think about it. When the time comes, Miss Yue finds out that you not only lied to her to get married, but also lied to her all the way. Wow, that scene makes me sad. I dare not even think about it.”
Gongzi Yan stretched out his hand and pinched his mouth with a bad expression: "Shut your crow mouth quickly. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. How could she know? When the right time comes, You Heng dies of illness and I show up again." Isn’t that enough? ”
Songshan's lips were pulled, and he couldn't refute even if he wanted to.
"Did Lu Mei send you a message?" Gongziyan let go when he mentioned serious matters.
Songshan touched his mouth pitifully before muttering in a low voice: "I received the letter yesterday. Mr. Meishan has already sent someone to wait at Ailao Pass. There will definitely be someone to respond to our team as soon as it arrives."

He couldn't see Lang Jun's expression clearly, and after a long silence he continued: "Shengjing sent a few more waves of people to chase and intercept. It seems that Lady Yue's backup plan made Mrs. Xie really angry."
Gongzi Yan waved his hand indifferently: "They are all brainless, but they can chase people to Jiaozhou with some deception, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Just deal with it properly, and don't let her know any tricks. She has been troubled these days.”
Gongzi Yan became upset when he thought of Xie Fengyue mentioning the red spots on his face today. He pinched his eyebrows and said: "This team has to move faster. You have people clean up the surrounding area. My face needs to be cleaned up quickly." Yongning made up for it.”
Songshan: "Mr. Lang, why do you say so scary? It sounds scary to me at this night."
Gongzi Yan didn't want to talk to him, but he clearly remembered the feeling of sweat soaking his back just now, and he didn't want this to happen again.
"Just ask Lu Mei's people to come into the mountain to help her, so that she won't have to worry about everything around her every day."
Songshan pursed his lips. Anyway, whatever he did was up to Lang Jun's lips. It was useless for him to say anything, so he simply nodded.
The towering trees never favor one over the other, blocking both the sun and the moon.
early morning.
When Xie Fengyue opened her eyes, all the sleepiness in her eyes dissipated. She stood up and stretched her body that had been curled up all night. There were also voices in the camp one after another.
After Li Xiaobao counted the number of people, he came to report to Xie Fengyue: "Girl, no one ran around last night. Do you want to set off immediately?"
Xie Fengyue nodded: "This pure white mist is not a miasma. You have to hurry up and hurry up. You ask the vanguard to try not to stay too far away from the team. If something happens to them, there will be someone to take care of them."
Looking at the people who were getting ready to go, Xie Fengyue couldn't help but feel a little worried. The current road was still passable by carriages. If we go further in, according to the map, everything on the carriage would have to rely on manpower, even her carriage. You have to dismantle them all to pass.
It's really hard for Concubine Yu to find such a strange place as her fiefdom.
Xie Fengyue's heart was half-carried along the way. Why half-carried? It was actually because she had been very, very lucky recently. The team traveled safely for four or five days without encountering any miasma or even snakes and insects. There were very few rats and ants, let alone those large and fearsome beasts.
Before leaving Ailao Mountain, Xie Fengyue's heart became lighter and faster day by day.
"Who is in front of you!"
The sound coming from the thick fog early in the morning startled everyone. These days, everyone has tacitly lowered their voices. A voice like this, howling at the top of one's throat, is definitely not one of their own.
The soldiers were so frightened that they were so sleepy that they all pulled out their swords nervously to protect Xie Fengyue.
"May I ask who you are?" Xie Fengyue's voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet woods.
"I am Lu Mei, the magistrate of Yongning County."
Xie Fengyue always felt that the name seemed familiar. After thinking for a long time, she thought she might have seen it in the tax books, so she gave up.
She replied: "Princess Yongning, thank you Fengyue."
After a long silence on the other side, there were a few sparse sounds. Xie Fengyue saw a dozen men in government uniforms walking out of the thick fog. The man at the end was wearing a dusty robe. It must be Lu Mei.
As he got closer, Xie Fengyue could clearly see Lu Mei's appearance. He was about thirty-four or five years old. His appearance was not shocking, but he had a unique flavor. There was a reassuring aura in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Especially the small mole on the lip makes people feel that this person has an inexplicable sense of affinity.
Judging from Xie Fengyue's accuracy in recognizing people, this Lu Mei would definitely not be a county magistrate from a small town that was so remote that it was isolated from the world.
"When the princess comes to fief the land, Lu, as the local official, naturally sweeps the couch to welcome her."
Xie Fengyue didn't hear a trace of doubt in her words, so it was her turn to be doubtful.
Her group had been living in the open air all this way, and all of them had become disgraced. Naturally, she was included in this disgrace. This Lu Mei had never seen Princess Yongning, so why did he believe her when she claimed to be Princess Yongning?
She has never told anyone that she will come to Yongning. It can even be said that she came to Yongning because of the situation.
Lu Mei's attitude makes people suspicious.
Lu Mei's expression remained motionless: "Princess, I have prepared more driftwood to cross the swamp ahead. Why don't you lead the way?"
Xie Fengyue's suspicion was almost engraved on his forehead: "Master Lu seems to know that I am coming."
"Naturally, it has been prepared for the princess a long time ago. The people sent by the princess a while ago have already started to prepare. In order to facilitate the princess to come, the road out of the mountain has been repaired."
Hearing this reason, Xie Fengyue was a little speechless. She asked Gongziyan to send Zhizhi and the others to Yongning so that they could wait anonymously for her to arrive. Why did she make this matter public in such a big way?
But Lu Mei's words really made Xie Fengyue's doubts dissipate, and the smooth journey in the past few days became much more rational.
She chuckled with relief: "Then there is Mr. Laolu."
Lu Mei smiled calmly: "It's okay, this is what a lower official should do."
When he said this, his eyes seemed to drift to You Heng beside him.
Xie Fengyue then felt rude and solemnly introduced: "This is Junma You's family, You Heng, from Jiaozhou You's family."
Lu Mei replied meaningfully: "I've seen Youjun Ma."
First update. It always feels weird, but I still think it’s normal to make up for it.
