Chapter 41

In the blink of an eye, it was late afternoon, and Wei Qing removed the newly grown weeds from the grave. The servants had already waited impatiently by the side, and said, "Second Miss, it's time to go back. It's about forty miles away, and I'll go back again." You won’t be able to enter the city at night.”

The setting sun in the sky cooled down the temperature, and it was transparent and crimson.When the mountain wind blows, the weeds stretch and sway.

When going down the mountain, the servants walked in front, and the way up the mountain had already been made before, so going down the mountain was very easy.

The servant was very anxious, if he missed the time and couldn't return to the city, he would have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.He didn't think that Wei Cishu valued Wei Qing so much that he would order the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate for Wei Qing once.

Originally, it was a thankless task to be assigned to take Wei Qing out of the city to worship.

So as soon as he got into the carriage, before Wei Qing could sit still, the servants rushed towards the city cursing.

The bumpy road was very difficult to walk on, and we happened to walk to the part of the road where there was a pothole. The servant was already very annoyed with Wei Qing's attitude, so he deliberately wanted to bump her, so he didn't go around the pothole on the road, but He drove the carriage directly and rushed over.

There are gravels sunken by the road surface in the pit, which is uneven.

The vehicle shakes violently as it passes by.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden heavy meal, and before the rut got stuck in the pit and was dragged out by the horse, the crude carriage was shaken apart.

With the neighing of the horse, the car body fell to one side.

Seeing this, Wei Qing leaped out of the car body neatly, and just as he landed on the ground and stood firm, he saw the car body fell into the pit, sweeping up a cloud of dust.

And the servant had already quickly untied the noose on the shaft of the chariot, and rode on the horse.

The servant said with a sneer: "Second Miss, this road is too difficult to walk, and now the carriage is also broken down, so I can only ask Second Miss to wait here, and the villain will hurry back and call for a carriage."

After finishing speaking, before Wei Qing could reply, the servant turned the horse's head and beat the horse forward.When he turned his back, there was a gloating smile on his face.

An abandoned girl from the countryside, no matter what the show is, she dared to order him with that attitude when she was on the mountain, she took herself too seriously.

Anyway, he was not wrong, what was wrong was the uneven road and the weak carriage.After he returns before the city gate is closed, he will report the matter truthfully. Whether the Wei family will send someone to pick him up at that time is their business.

If no one came to pick her up, she could only walk back to the city by herself.Forty miles is enough for her to go until midnight.

The domestic servant doesn't have to worry about being punished if he goes back like this, because everyone knows that the mistress hates this abandoned daughter very much.Madam might even reward him when she's happy.

Just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed.

The hooves of the horse resounded melodiously on the road as if they were relieved from a heavy burden. The horse was not saddled, so even if the servant was riding the horse, he didn't have the guts to speed up.

Wei Qing narrowed his eyes, bent down unhurriedly, picked up a piece of gravel, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Then I'll see you off."

"What?" After some distance, the servant couldn't hear what Wei Qing was saying, so he asked casually and looked back by the way.

Looking back at this, the servant turned pale with shock.

I saw that Wei Qing was holding the piece of gravel in his hand, and suddenly raised his hand and threw it in the direction of the servant.

That piece of gravel came fiercely, and Wei Qing used his strength, so it should not be underestimated.

The gravel reached the servant's side and hit the horse's butt with precision.

The horse was in pain, and neighed again. Before the servant had time to clamp its thighs, the horse spread its four hooves and ran forward desperately.

The horse's back was bare, and the servant naturally couldn't sit still. While holding on to the horse's mane, he howled like a pig in panic.

Before he had run far, the servant was successfully knocked off the horse's back by the fast horse, and fell firmly to the side of the road, unconscious.

And the horse couldn't stop, and it didn't take long for it to run away.

Only then did Wei Qing look away, glanced at the sun that was about to set, and sat on the shaft outside the car as if nothing had happened, picked up the weeds from the roadside in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

The ancients said: Do you have to pull a back when you die?

Wei Qing chewed one, spat it out, and took another.

This grass stalk is still a little sweet.

It is forty miles away from the back to the city. Even if Wei Qing is on the road now, when he reaches the city gate, the city gate has already been closed.

Therefore, Wei Qing was not in a hurry.

She just sits here and waits, maybe there will be a passing car and horse, and she can get a ride.

If not, I will sleep in the broken carriage tonight, and it will not be too late to leave for the city in the middle of the night or tomorrow morning.

Facts have proved that Wei Qing's luck is not bad.

In the evening, the rays of the sun are as bright as fire, covering half of the sky.The grass in the vicinity and the mountains in the distance are all quenched with a layer of warm red light.

Twilight was approaching, and under the last thin light that had not yet dissipated, a line of black shadows appeared at the other end of the official road, walking towards this side.

Wei Qing squinted his eyes, and in his darkened eyes, the edges of the pupils were also stained with a faint brilliance.

There was more than one person here.

but a group of people.Wherever he went, the shadows of birds flew away, and the surroundings were silent.

Wei Qing leaned against the shaft of the car, but his body tensed up a little bit.

It's okay to be an ordinary passerby, but it's not the case.

As those people got closer, Wei Qing could clearly see them riding horses. In the twilight, they were all dressed in crow blue brocade clothes, black belts, sabers in their hands, and black gauze on their heads.

The expressions on those faces were indifferent and cold, even with a faint murderous look.

Wei Qing didn't know much about the official system of this era, but he could tell from his attire that he was definitely not an ordinary guard in brocade clothes and black gauze.

Among this group of people, a carriage was driving smoothly, and the eaves and corners of the four sides of the carriage appeared under the blue-gray sky, as if coming in the night, and as if carrying the last ray of light before darkness.

Wei Qing's broken carriage was lying across the road pit, blocking their way.

At that time, Wei Qing was still thinking, should she take this ride or not?
There is a certain risk in taking it, and it is a pity not to take it.

Judging from this posture, even if the pedestrians reached the city gate and the city gate was closed, they would definitely have the ability to let the city gate open again.

In this way, she doesn't have to sleep in the wild.

Wei Qing watched her heart, she was so innocent and harmless, she looked like a good person at first glance, she should be easy to communicate with.

It wasn't until those people came to the road pit that they stopped back and forth.

The people in the front saw Wei Qing leaning on the shaft of the car, with a thin appearance, and no panic in his gentle eyes.

If the broken carriage and Wei Qing were not moved, their carriage would not be able to pass.

Several people quietly held the handle of the knife, and one of them said to Wei Qing: "Your Excellency, please make way."
