Alluring City

Chapter 054 Departure

"What? Master, are you okay? If Jiannan is not here, where should he be?" Jiannan felt a little baffled.

Dugu Xun frowned slightly, "Where's Miss Wu?"

"Miss Xiaowu has already gone back. Jiannan wanted to send Miss Wu back, but Miss Wu refused." In such a cold day, Miss Wu would rather go back by herself than let him take him in a carriage. I understand what Miss Xiaowu is insisting on.

"How did she go back?" Dugu Xun's brows directly twisted into a word "Sichuan".

Can't that girl be more obedient?He had already told Jiannan to send her back, why did he still leave alone?

"...It seems to be using light work!" Jiannan said uncertainly.

Miss Xiaowu didn't ask him for a carriage or a horse, so it should be because of lightness kung fu.

With such a big snowstorm, someone who knows how to do light work will definitely not choose to use it.

"Go down first, rest early tonight, and leave for Nanban early tomorrow morning." Dugu Xun waved his hand to signal Jiannan to retreat.

They've been gone for a while, and I'm afraid they've already arrived at Tianxiang Tower, so it's impossible for him to catch up with her even if he catches up now.

He never does things that are useless.

*** ***

On the second day, Gu Xiaowu was waiting outside the city early in the morning. Dugu Xun and the others brought quite a lot of guards, and there were so many people in Jiangning City, so it was better for her to avoid it.

She didn't bring Su Xin with her on this trip, except for luggage, bank notes and so on, she only brought a driver who drove the car.

Dugu Chen and his party officially set off early in the morning, but it was already noon when they left the city.

At this moment, Gu Xiaowu was sitting around the fire, eating roasted rabbit meat with relish.

Although Dugu Chen had warned her that it would take a long time for them to go from the palace to the outside of the city, she really didn't expect it to be so long.

She had been waiting outside the city early in the morning, but she was really bored later, so she simply asked the driver to fetch a wild game and roast it for dinner.

The person who drove her was called Yanfeng, he was originally Gu Xiaowu's right-hand man, but now he was pulled by Gu Xiaowu to be the driver.

"Miss, they are here." Yanfeng handed a roasted rabbit leg to Gu Xiaowu's hand.

Gu Xiaowu raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiangning City. Although they were still a short distance away, the person they were waiting for finally came out.

"Hurry up and eat, before they come, we have to clean up this place first." After Gu Xiaowu finished speaking, he concentrated on biting the rabbit's leg.

Although it is cold winter, there is still snow on those trees, but who knows if this fire will bring a fire to this mountain forest?So it would be better to dispose of the fire before leaving.

Yan Feng obediently cut a piece of meat with a dagger and gnawed it in his hand. This is probably the only meal he can eat comfortably in the past ten days. They were afraid that they would all have to eat with the group of noble princes.

Before Duguxun and others came in front of them, Gu Xiaowu stood in the middle of the road and waved to Jiannan who was riding a horse and walking in front of the team, and then ordered Yanfeng to drive the car one step ahead.

How boring it is to walk slowly like them, she would rather go to the next foothold and wait for them than walk so slowly like them.

Jiannan slowed down his speed a little, and then approached his master's carriage without any trace.

"Master, Miss Xiao Wu has already taken a step ahead."

Dugu Xun opened the curtain at the small window of the carriage, but could only faintly see a black spot that gradually became smaller.

"I see."

Letting that girl walk slowly like them would make her feel worse than killing her!

With her temperament, she will definitely wait for them at the next foothold.

Duguxun felt a bit of a headache, he was really worried that there would be a lot of trouble waiting for him at the next foothold.

"Third brother, has Xiao Wu already walked to the front?" Duguyi threw a peanut into his mouth, looked at Dugu Xun and asked.

"Hmm!" Didn't Jiannan say it just now?Why ask again?

"Then let's catch up with her soon, shall we?" Duguyi seemed a little excited.

Last year's hunting conference, because he caught wind and cold on the eve of departure, he was unable to go to Nanman with his third brother. He always felt a little regretful, and really wanted to feel Nanman as soon as possible!

"No." Dugu Xun refused without thinking.

Accompanying him were the children of a few important ministers in the court. If those people made mistakes on the way, it would be really hard to explain when they went back, so he really hated this hunting conference. It was not only a waste of time, but also very troublesome.

The people in Nanman are alright, Tianchen and Yan Guo have to leave for Nanman after the Lantern Festival every year in order to participate in the hunting conference. It is really uncomfortable to go back and forth like this.

"No need to discuss?" The smile on Duguyi's face suddenly collapsed. How long will it take to reach Nanman like this?

"If you can persuade Brother Dahuang, then I have no objection." With Brother Dahuang's rigid personality, it is almost impossible for him to change his mind.

Duguyi lowered his head, fell back directly, and lay down on the spacious carriage.

The person who can make Brother Dahuang change his mind, I'm afraid he hasn't been born yet!

"At the current speed, I'm afraid it will be a month or two before we arrive at Nanman?" Duguyi asked with his head tilted. It was really slow. If the journey wasn't too far, then he really wanted to ride the horse directly.

"No need. Go forward five or six days and the weather will get warmer and warmer. At that time, you will speed up your journey. It took only [-] days to reach the capital of Nanman last year, and this year it should not exceed one Moon." Dugu Xun said while flipping through the military book in his hand.

In fact, he really didn't want to say that it was only [-] days, even if it was [-] days, he thought it was too long.

"But it's too boring like this." Duguyi couldn't help complaining, it was absolutely impossible for him to just sit in the carriage for a few days.

Duguxun casually threw a book on Duguyi's face, "If you're bored, you can read a book."

It was because he was bored on the road that he brought so many books with him. If it was midsummer, he would have gone out for a horse ride.

In fact, Dugu Xun didn't like to travel in this cold weather.

"No." Duguyi threw the book on his face back towards Duguxun, "If you want me to read, then I'd rather go out and ride a horse."

Although it was a bit cold, at least he could pass the time, and if he continued to be bored, he would definitely get sick from boredom.

"Even if you are asked to ride a horse, you must not go too fast, and you must not be too far away from the team." Although you have never made any mistakes on the way to Nanman in the past, you are not afraid of [-] or just in case.

Although Eleven likes to make trouble, but he has never even been out of Jiangning City, he is really worried that he is too far away from him.

Now that he thinks about it, he actually regrets it a little. At the beginning, he should have brought Shiyi with him and let him have a good experience with him.

But it's not too late now, Eleven is only 15 years old, and there is still time, after the hunting meeting, he will directly take him by his side and not let him go back to the palace.

"Is there even a speed limit? That would be very boring." Dugu Yi pouted, if even his riding speed had to be limited, then he would rather lie in the carriage.

At least there is warmth in the carriage, and there is no need to blow cold wind.

If he had known that their speed was so slow, he should have followed Xiao Wu.

Dugu Yi glanced out enviously, at this time, Xiao Wu might already be drinking tea at the next station, right?

No, no, Xiao Wu is not an official lady, so she is not allowed to enter the post station. How could he even forget this?

In this way, if Xiao Wu arrives at the inn, won't he have to wait outside?

No, no, the weather is so cold now, and Xiao Wu's girl is so thin, if she waits in the cold wind, she will definitely catch a cold in a while.

Although there must be a heater in her carriage, but they walked so slowly, it must be already evening when they arrived at the post station, how could Xiao Wu wait in the snow for so long?Absolutely not!

"Third brother, I'll let Jiannan come in and ride in the carriage with you, and I'll go ride." Duguyi sat up suddenly, and jumped out of the carriage before Duguxun could react.

Duguyi ran to Jiannan's side and tugged at the hem of his shirt.

"Your Highness the Eleventh? What are your orders?" Jiannan hurriedly grabbed the reins.

"You go and take a carriage with your master, I want to ride a horse."

"This..." Jiannan hesitated.

"Don't do that, hurry down." Duguyi said impatiently.

I really don't understand, aren't Jiannan and Jianbei brothers?Why is one so straightforward while the other is such a mother-in-law?

"Yes." Jiannan quickly got off his horse.

Duguyi rode on the horse alone, then turned to look at Jianbei beside him, and ordered: "Jianbei, follow closely, let's go to the station and wait for them first."

Jianbei nodded, he thought it was because his master couldn't bear the speed that seemed to be crawling, so he was going to ride to the post first.

Although he felt that this was a bit risky, he knew that he would never be able to persuade his master, so Jianbei never thought of dissuading him.

Most importantly, he couldn't stand such a slow speed anymore.

Duguyi and Jianbei suddenly sped up their speed and quickly left the team behind.

Since Dugu Chen was sitting in the carriage, he didn't know that the sound of the horse's hooves getting farther and farther was made by his eleventh brother and his guards, so he didn't let anyone stop him.

"Miss, there is a post station ahead, shall we wait for the Third Prince and the others here or go to the small town ahead?" Yanfeng's voice came from outside the carriage.

Gu Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Just wait at this station, they will definitely choose to rest at this station."

The couple in the back are all wealthy masters, if they go to a small town, they will definitely not be as safe as a post station.
