The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 197 Catch up with the husband!
After the battle, it was almost dark. Pei Zhiqi dragged his tired body and led the well-fed horse forward slowly. After walking for less than half an hour, he saw the bright light of the official post in front of him. The lights are on, and people are coming and going at the door.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a place to settle down tonight.

After placing the horse in the stable of the official post, Pei Zhiqi did not leave immediately, he picked up some grass to feed the horse, stroked the horse's head, and said thank you for your hard work.

Horses have different temperaments. This is a very assertive horse. When it started running in the morning, it ran not too slowly. The assassins behind could not catch up with it, but it felt tired and could not run any longer and would stop. Come down, and never move forward after stopping.

Such a horse won't directly exhaust itself to death, Pei Zhiqi praised it: "It's really a smart horse."

After a night's rest, Pei Zhiqi did not slack off because of repelling the assassins, but set off early like the previous two days.He knew that not all the assassins came yesterday, and next time, he might face Jie Yan himself.

He is not sure that Jie Yan can win alone, let alone if he leads a team.

Therefore, they could only use the time difference between the assassin's round trip and escape as much as they could.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Pei Zhiqi ran all the way, but on the afternoon of the fourth day on the way to escape, he encountered a big river lying in front of him. possible.

Pei Zhiqi noticed that there was a ferry by the river, but there was no boat docked.

He rode his horse and looked around, but he couldn't see any other ferry crossings on both sides of the river, and there wasn't a single boat on the river. He was anxious but helpless.

After a while, a woodcutter passed by, and Pei Zhiqi hurriedly got off his horse to inquire. The woodcutter told him that there was only one ferry for tens of miles around the river, and this ferry only had boats in the morning. Can only wait for the next day.

In desperation, Pei Zhiqi had no choice but to turn back and find the nearest post station to rest. Based on the position of the sun, he guessed that it was just past Shenshi time. Resting so early would not only delay the schedule, but also give the assassins behind him time to catch up.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the assassins will catch up.

But there are two or three days left to reach Anzhou.

It depends on whether his horse is faster or the assassin's horse is faster.

Li Xiaodao originally wanted to chase her husband day and night, but later realized that even if people are not tired, horses will be tired, so when the evening is approaching, she will look for shops on the side of the road that serve ordinary people. It is often opened near the official post, and some are even directly adjacent to the official post.

Of course, these shops are much simpler than the official post next to them, and some of them can only be described as sheds, but she cannot enter the official post.

On the first night, she was exhausted from riding a horse for a whole day. Suddenly, she saw a beautiful and spacious official post by the roadside. Only then did she know that the official post does not accept ordinary people.

Li Xiaodao sighed and had no choice but to find another dilapidated shop nearby.

It's been like this for the past few days.In addition to the hardships of accommodation, her thighs and buttocks are too painful, too painful.

Although I had made some preparations in advance, I couldn't bear to ride a horse for so long.

On this day, the fourth night after Xianggong left, Li Xiaodao finally found a place to stay before dark. The shop looked pretty good, much cleaner and more spacious than the one he stayed in the previous two days, but compared to the official post on the opposite side. It still lacks a lot in terms of gorgeousness.

Li Xiaodao asked for a room on the second floor. After having dinner and checking the condition of the horse at night, she went upstairs to rest. As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling, too tired to speak.

"Msanggong... where are you..." Li Xiaodao murmured in a daze.I don't know where Xianggong has gone, today is already the fourth day, when will I catch up with Xianggong.

While lying in a daze, she was still randomly analyzing the possibility of catching up with her husband in her mind.

First of all, the horse given by Boss Wan has exercised at ordinary times and goes out a lot. My brother’s horse is a house horse and rarely goes out.

Secondly, I am much lighter than my husband, and I am not so tired when the horse carries me, and my endurance and speed are better.

Then although I have to rest, my husband also needs to rest!Even if he doesn't rest, the horse will also rest, so don't worry about not being able to catch up with your husband because of the rest.

All in all, she will definitely catch up with Xianggong!
"But where is Xianggong...I've been chasing him for four days..." Li Xiaodao sighed.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a person walking from the courtyard to the building in the official post courtyard opposite the window, that figure was dressed...

It's my husband! ! !
Li Xiaodao stood up abruptly and ran to the window, and looked a few more times, she saw the man's face, it was really a gentleman!

She remembered that Xianggong had explained to her that if you pass the exam, you will have a brand and you can use the official station.

Seeing that Xianggong was about to enter the door, Li Xiaodao raised her arms and was about to shout hello to him, but she swallowed the word "Xiang" of "Xianggong" on her lips.

Hmph, it's better not to meet Xianggong yet, lest he find another way to pour his medicine on the road and run away by himself.

And bad husband, I haven't forgiven you for abandoning your wife and son!
Li Xiaodao watched Xianggong go up the stairs in the courtyard opposite, and after a while a window on the second floor opposite opened, it was Xianggong.

She quickly closed her window, leaving only a small gap to peek in.

"Bad husband... I must ask you to apologize to me when this matter is over... You still live so comfortably... My lady, I can only live in a dilapidated house or a straw hut... Write this down in a small notebook and we will be together later. Settle the bill..." Li Xiaodao muttered nonsense while watching the opposite Xianggong walk around the room and pack his luggage happily.

It's great that Xianggong is alive and kicking and alive.

"Oh, why can't I see it!" Li Xiaodao went behind the screen when she saw that Xianggong was about to change clothes, and she stomped her feet anxiously.

"Hmph, I want to take a second look and don't show it, how stingy." She pouted and went back to the bed and sat down.

When Xianggong gets up very early, he must go out very early tomorrow. Tomorrow, he must get up early, and then squat here. When Xianggong goes out, he will quietly follow behind!

Since you have to get up early, go to bed early. As a grass protector, you have a heavy responsibility.

While thinking this way, Li Xiaodao lay down on the bed with his clothes on, pulled the quilt over and casually covered him, and soon fell asleep.

……

The next day Li Xiaodao got his wish, and it was still early morning when he woke up.

She yawned and opened the window a crack, then crouched by the bed and waited for the gentleman in the opposite official post to go out.
