White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 53

On the second day, Wen Ning and Linglan woke up early.

If Wen Ning wanted to go to the wine shop, she had to go down the mountain first, and then go west for half an hour. There were some mountain roads on the road, and it was difficult to pass when there were many people.

It's not Wen Qi's turn to be on duty today, she agreed with him earlier, see you at the winery today.

Thinking of the details finalized with Duan Rushuang these days, Wen Ning was a little excited. The breakfast in the temple was always early, and before dawn, she and Linglan made preparations and went down the mountain in a carriage.

Gu Fei and Pei You happened to be one step behind her.

Gu Fei scratched the back of his neck when he saw their carriage, and said strangely: "Hey, I thought they left yesterday..."

Pei You glanced over.

Gu Fei immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, that carriage belongs to Miss Wen's family, do you want to wait for them to go for a while before setting off?"

Pei You tilted his head and squinted to look over.The morning light was thin, and Wen Ning didn't notice them behind him. The maid beside her helped her into the carriage, and then turned around to pull her.

It looks like a master and servant.

Pei You snorted lightly.

"No need." Turning around and getting on the carriage.

Wen Ning had hired a coachman yesterday, and she and Linglan sat in the carriage peacefully, holding Mrs. Tang in her arms, wanting the carriage to hurry up.

But after all, it was not yet dawn, and it would be difficult to walk the mountain road too early, so let's just forget about it, chatting with Linglan in the carriage without saying a word.

Gu Fei was not treated as well as Ling Lan, and he drove the carriage himself.

He was clear about the affairs between Wen Ning and his elder son, and he didn't want them to see the elder son and cause trouble, so he deliberately slowed down the horse and fell behind them.

Unexpectedly, they didn't go back to Beijing. Halfway through, the carriage turned left and headed west.

Gu Fei was suddenly a little distracted. There are many workshops in the west of the capital, because the land price is cheaper there, and the government's various controls are not so strict.

But there is also a section of rugged mountain road over there.

"Gu Fei, what are you doing?" Pei You's slightly displeased voice came from inside the carriage.

As soon as Gu Fei thought about it, his speed of driving the horse slowed down.When Pei You asked this question, he hesitated even more.

He knew that the son still had urgent matters to deal with when he returned to Beijing, but...

Gu Fei simply stopped his horse, turned back into the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this subordinate just saw the Wen family's carriage and went west..."

Pei You looked at him inexplicably.

Gu Fei took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday I saw two servants from the Zhao family sneaking around in the Wen family's carriage. There will be no problem if it is flat, but there is a section of rugged mountain road to the west, in case the carriage is tampered with..."

That would be fatal!

Although the eldest son of his family doesn't like Miss Wen's family, he clearly cared about her life and death when the teahouse walked into the water, and the one who protected her behind him...

"My lord, should we..." Gu Fei wanted to ask whether he should follow them, and went forward to remind them to check the carriage.

But before he finished speaking, Pei You's expression changed.

He got up suddenly, and got out of the carriage very quickly. Before Gu Fei could react, he saw that he had already untied the reins from the horse connected to the carriage, and raised his hand to whip the horse down.

"My son!" Gu Fei hurried over, untied another horse, and hurriedly followed.

Wen Ning and Linglan were sitting on the carriage. At first, they didn't feel that the wheels probably passed a slightly deep hole. When they heard a "click", they felt that the carriage was shaking.

"Girl, I'll go out and have a look."

Linglan lifted the curtain and went out, and told the coachman about the abnormality in the car, the coachman looked back, immediately changed his face, and hastily pulled back the reins.

The two horses were moving forward at a constant speed, but when the reins were pulled, one of them neighed loudly and rushed forward like a madman. As the speed of the car increased, the carriage behind shook even more, as if it was about to disperse.

"What's going on here?" Linglan almost couldn't sit still, her face turned pale with shock, and she even tried to help the driver pull the reins.

But there was a cliff not far ahead, and if the horse didn't turn the corner, it would definitely rush down.

"It's too late, jump out of the car with me!"

The driver grabbed Linglan and jumped down, Linglan only had time to turn her head and shout: "Girl!"

One horse was still sensible and raised its leg at the cliff mouth to stop, but the other horse continued to charge forward regardless.The carriage was not connected to the frame in front of it stably, and the two horses pulled one by one, disconnected from the frame directly, and rushed forward due to inertia.

"Girl!" Linglan cried out in pain.

At the same time, someone shouted from behind: "My son!"

Linglan only felt a black shadow flash in front of her eyes, it was someone riding a horse and rushing towards the carriage that rolled down the cliff.
-
Wen Ning's last consciousness was that the carriage suddenly bumped and moved forward rapidly. Linglan yelled "Girl" outside, and the carriage almost lost its balance.

At a critical moment, she subconsciously clung to a corner of the carriage window, her whole body clinging to the wall of the carriage, but she couldn't stop the carriage from violently jolting, and finally, with a bang—lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she felt that her shoulder blades were so sore, and the pain on the outside of her right leg was densely penetrating into her bones. She cleared the chaos in her mind, struggled to move, and her shoulder blades began to hurt.

Opening her eyes, a glare of sunlight forced her to close them again.

and many more.

She could understand that she probably fell somewhere with the carriage, but the bottom of her head... seemed to be warm?Quite comfortable?

Wen Ning stretched out her hand and touched it, it was really not an illusion...

wrong.

She opened her eyes suddenly, ignoring the pain in her shoulder blades, straightened her body up, and saw Pei You with her eyes closed beside her.

Wen Ning almost suspected that she was blind, how could Pei You be here?And it was Pei You's thigh that she was sleeping on just now?

The hand that was touched just now became hot instantly.

Wen Ning's legs hurt, she just sat on the ground, moved back silently, and Pei You's face became clearer.

His skin was always fair, and there were several scratches on his usually flawless face, and several wounds on his body, even the outer fur coat was scratched.

His injuries were not limited to the few places visible to the naked eye. At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he had passed out.

It was the first time Wen Ning saw Pei You in such a mess.

He has always been glorious and aloof, how could he tolerate himself in such a situation?Even if she was injured on the battlefield in her previous life, she never appeared in front of her until she recovered.

Probably because she was afraid that she would kill him while he was weak?

Wen Ning moved back a little, and looked around.

If it is said to kill him, now is an excellent opportunity.

They were in a cave, and what just pierced Wen Ning's eyes was the sunlight shining into the cave.

Look at the angle of the light, it's almost noon.

There is nothing in the cave except some stones.

Wen Ning considered the possibility of killing him with a single blow with a stone, and gave up.

It's not that she hasn't tried it in her previous life, but this person is a martial artist, and she can only give him some minor injuries with all her strength. Later, any sharp objects in her room will be taken away.

It’s different in the past.

He hasn't done those things that are inferior to animals, so he doesn't have to take the risk of failing to try to take his life.

Wen Ning really couldn't figure out why she could meet Pei You even when she fell off a cliff, or the injured Pei You, he couldn't have fallen off the cliff just to save her, right?

Wen Ning immediately denied this idea.

Because Pei You woke up.

His fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes suddenly, his black eyes were astonishingly bright, and he looked at her in the next moment, and when they fell on her face, they became calm and cool, and then slowly sank.

Wen Ning watched him grit her teeth, her eyes fixed on her even more closely, then she stood up and walked towards her step by step.

Wen Ning subconsciously moved back a little bit, and a layer of damp coolness appeared behind her.

She is familiar with every subtle expression of his, and the cruelty and ruthlessness he hides under the skin, so much so that he doesn't say anything, but just walks over seemingly calmly, she knows——

She didn't want to take his life just now, but now, Pei You has murderous intentions towards her.

　Ah, I accidentally got a little skinny today... I will add more tomorrow!
