Yanmenchun

Chapter 76

In broad daylight, Shen Tuchan did not believe that a group of living people could disappear.

But when she stepped out of the yard, she realized that Jiang Lan might have gone to rob food.

She immediately drove to that route, she didn't expect Jiang Lan to take risks in such a thing.

The three of Shen Tuchan rode the horse for a long time, and Hu Dao was so anxious that he almost stopped to beg her, asking where she was going.

They climbed a mountain and arrived at a place almost at noon.

This place is next to the mountain, just a small road sandwiched between the mountain and the woods. There are many bloodstains on the yellow grass, and there are even three or five homeless people nearby.

Shen Tuchan's status is noble, Hu Dao looked at the blood on the ground, although he was very worried, but he didn't dare to let Shen Tuchan get dirty, he hurriedly said: "Miss, I'll be here later, my subordinates will ask."

Shen Tuchan nodded, and Hu Dao urged the horse to pass.

He only said a few words to the tramp before urging his horse back. Before Shen Tuchan asked, he replied: "These people came from behind. , and even threatened to beat Dengwengu or something, but they arrived late and didn’t see anyone.”

Shen Tuchan frowned slightly, and said: "Xiao Man and I will continue to look forward, you go to the government office to have a look."

But Hu Dao gritted his teeth heavily and said: "Miss, my subordinates will come with you. If Your Highness returns to the government office, it will be safe."

Shen Tuchan thought for a while and nodded, Xiaoman looked for the road, Shen Tuchan and Hu Dao looked for it in the woods.

The woods are not lush, the trees and grass are sparse and messy.

Shen Tuchan was thinking wildly when a feathered arrow flashed past her and was nailed to a nearby tree with such force that the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Hu Dao was originally following behind, but suddenly looked in the direction of the feather arrow, and when he saw clearly, he drove forward and said, "You are so brave!"

Obviously someone he knew.

Shen Tuchan looked up, and saw a man dressed as an ordinary peasant hiding behind a tree trunk.

He was stunned when he saw Hu Dao, and looked at Shen Tuchan in surprise.

Before Shentuchan could ask, Hu Dao said, "How dare you shoot Miss Shentu coldly! Are you dying?! Where's Your Highness?"

Before the farmer-looking attendant could speak, Jiang Lan came out. He was dressed as a scholar today, wearing only an off-white green shirt, and his hair was tied with a headband. Under the simplicity, his hostility was much less , the whole person really looks like a young man, but unfortunately he is holding a sword in one hand at this time, and the blood on the blade is still fresh.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows and said, "How?"

Jiang Lan glanced coldly at the attendant who had just shot the sniper arrow, and the attendant hurriedly retreated and knelt on the ground.

With a complacent face on Jiang Lan's face, she smiled contemptuously, showing her white teeth: "It's a trivial matter."

The attendants from behind the bushes all came out and said, "My lord, it's all cleaned up."

Shen Tuchan immediately understood that they were hiding inside to kill people.

She smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, young master."

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked away.

Hu Dao bowed to Jiang Lan, then followed the horse and left.

Shentuchan joined Xiaoman soon, and it was already afternoon after this matter was delayed.

Back in the mansion, Xiao Man said: "Since it's already late today, should we wait for His Highness to go together?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head, but decided to leave Hanzhong according to the original plan.

She and Xiao Man ride in a carriage, and Hu Dao rides with them on horseback.

Shen Tuchan lifted the curtain and looked out at the street, it was very lively, white mist was released from the mutton soup in the pot, and the cries of vendors were endless.

The merchant with a hat was riding on a camel, speaking a dialect that Shen Tuchan didn't quite understand.

They stopped and stopped along the way, Hu Dao wanted to please, and always tried to go to the bustling towns. Although the journey was a bit long, the scenery was beautiful.

Shen Tuchan also visited two monasteries on the way, and came across a peach blossom forest.

They stayed in an inn near Peach Blossom Forest.

As soon as Shen Tuchan finished taking a bath, Xiao Man came in excitedly, holding a towel for twisting Shen Tuchan's hair in his hand.

Seeing her so happy, Shen Tuchan asked, "Is that so? What kind of happy event?"

While twisting her hair, Xiaoman said: "Miss, they have a very famous peach blossom wine here, do you want to try it?"

Shen Tuchan glanced at her and knew that she wanted to drink, so she said, "Okay."

Xiaoman said excitedly: "There is a peach blossom embankment behind this inn, the scenery is picturesque, and the slaves are holding wine, let's go over there and drink."

Shen Tuchan smoothed her hair with her hands, got up and went to the window to have a look, the weather was getting warmer as she walked towards the capital city.

It's a good time for spring outside, she smiled and said: "I don't need to make up today, let's go."

The inns that Shen Tuchan stayed in along the way all directly booked the entire inn.

She didn't bring any maids and guards, so there was no need to be so extravagant, but Hu Dao insisted on paying the bill for Yan Wangfu, and finally Shen Tuchan gave Hu Dao the money for the bill.

Shen Tuchan walked along the peach blossom embankment all the way to the pond, and Xiaoman had already set up tables and chairs beside it.

Shen Tuchan looked at the petals that fell on the table and sighed: "What a spring scene!"

Xiaoman hastily pushed the wine glass over.

The peach blossom wine entered her throat cleanly, with a hint of peach blossom fragrance, Shen Tuchan pursed her lips, and there was a hint of sweetness.

When Jiang Lan walked in, Shen Tuchan was leaning on the table and drinking the last bit of wine in the jug. She hadn't dressed, her long hair was scattered behind her, and she was wearing a simple green shirt.

Shen Tuchan's capacity for drinking is very good, she is still conscious even after drinking a pot of wine, when she turned her head and saw Jiang Lan, she almost thought she was drunk for a moment, and her eyes were blurred.

Jiang Lan looked at her undefended look and wanted to laugh. He knew that Shen Tuchan was going to leave, so he rushed the affairs in Hanzhong. While squeezing the time, he sent a letter to Hu Dao to let him delay the journey as much as possible.

He wanted to see her, except for banquets in the capital, there was very little time to see her, or it was almost impossible to get along with her without talking about business.

He used to only regard her as a little girl, but as he met her more times, he cared more and more about her, her every frown and smile, her cold eyebrows and eyes when she was unhappy, her intelligence and cruelty, even her slight glance When he glanced at him, he felt extremely romantic, with an indescribable pleasing to the eye.

The two looked at each other for a while before Shen Tuchan realized that it was Jiang Lan who was not drunk, she was a little surprised: "Why is Your Highness here?"

There was a smile between Jiang Lan's brows and eyes: "Go back to Kyoto, passing by."

Shen Tuchan nodded, raised her feet and walked up the corridor, walked a few steps, and when she was almost in front of Jiang Lan, she realized belatedly that the entire inn had been taken down, and Jiang Lan couldn't have just passed by unintentionally. came in.

Jiang Lan was staring at her, afraid that she would fall, but Shen Tuchan suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her face was flushed after drinking, and the corners of her eyes were full of amorous feelings.

Shen Tuchan even gave her a fierce look before she lowered her head and brushed past Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan's heart beat faster at that glance, she was so pretty, so Jiang Lan felt that he couldn't even look at her directly.

He also understood that Shen Tuchan probably didn't like him.
