Chapter 290: Meeting an Acquaintance

It gets dark quickly in winter.

After stopping for a meal at the inn at noon, the funeral procession continued to set off without stopping.

Not long after we left, the sky became gloomy again.

"It looks like it's going to snow. Should we continue on our way or find a place to stay nearby?" Yu Xingshan asked Ran Shaotang in the carriage for instructions through the curtain.

As the most trusted and capable person around Yu Ruoxian, Yu Xingshan is the leader of the entire team this time when he returns to Jingshan.

Working with him is a personal escort team of General Ran. The captain is named Shang Peng. This man doesn't talk much, he does things neatly, and he also has a wink.

He knows that the general listens to his wife, so he naturally wants to listen to Yu and do good deeds.

Therefore, even though Madam ordered the two of them to discuss everything before departure, for Shang Peng, just listen to this and don't take it seriously.

Therefore, Yu Xingshan managed the funeral procession of a hundred people along the way, eating, drinking and eating. He was only responsible for everyone's safety.

At this moment, when he heard Yu Xingshan's suggestion to rest, he had no objection.

I wonder what the young lady in the carriage has planned?

Ran Shaotang rubbed his eyebrows, looked away from the "Nine-Nine Techniques of the Poison Classic", and glanced at Hua Guan sitting beside him.

The little girl immediately opened the thick cotton curtains knowingly so that Ran Shaotang could see the scene outside.

The cold wind suddenly came in, and the flower tube couldn't help but shudder, but when he saw that Ran Shaotang had looked away from the outside, he neatly lowered the curtain and tightened it tightly.

Ran Shaotang's cold and melodious voice came to mind: "No need."

Yu Xingshan received the order, waved to his men who were waiting for news, and the team continued to move forward.

Ran Shaotang glanced at the flower tube again: "Tell them to prepare for the snow and cold. They will find a place to rest after passing this mountain road."

After passing the mountain road, it is further away from Kyoto, so it is safer.

Hua Guan pulled up the blanket covering her body, opened the curtain again and told Ran Shaotang what to say. After she covered the cotton tightly again, she asked in a low voice: "Young lady won't freeze in the coffin, will she?"

?”

"Which dead person do you think is afraid of the cold?" Ran Shaotang continued reading without raising his head.

Hua Guan muttered unconvincedly: "Obviously alive."

Ran Shaotang put the book on the tea spoon and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you are afraid that she will be cold, why don't you lie down in there and come out for her?"

The flower tube immediately withered like a flower, its head lowered, and the blanket was wrapped tighter.

Ran Shaotang picked up the tongs and pulled the red-hot coals twice, and sighed: "She is no different from a dead person now, she can't feel hot or cold. And my mother has wrapped her in several quilts before setting off. Didn't you see them all?"

Already?"

Hua Guan nodded immediately: "My servant understands. I'm just a little worried."

"You should worry about not having an accident on the road, otherwise it will delay her taking the antidote, which will be a big trouble."

Hua Guan approached Ran Shaotang with a smile on his face and said, "My maid knows that my master is worried about the young lady. That's why I have to speed up my journey."

Ran Shaotang pursed his lips: "Go and see if Yueniang's snacks are ready? I'm hungry."

Although reluctant to leave the warm nest, Hua Guan still wrapped herself in a cloak and transferred to another carriage.

Yueniang is sitting in the car eating.

In order not to delay the trip, three of them were immediately converted into mobile dining rooms, so food and drink were always available.

Before getting on the carriage, Hua Guan stood at the front of the carriage and looked forward. At this time, the carriage team seemed to have penetrated into the belly of a steep mountain.

The mountain in front of us seems to have been split in the middle, and the endless mountain road winds between the two mountains, which makes people feel frightened.

She was about to get into the car when two horses suddenly ran out from the belly of the mountain.

A man and a woman came galloping on the back of a black horse. The black cloaks on their bodies fluttered in the wind like flags, making a hunting sound.

Shampeng was the first to be alert and ordered people to protect the little master and the coffin of the largest carriage in the group.

The man and woman were both about the same age and good-looking, but they caught a cold along the way and their faces turned red from the cold.

Seeing the coffin in the procession from a distance, the young man running in front shouted from a distance: "Are you in front of the funeral procession going to Jingshan?"

His voice was filled with inner energy, and everyone in the carriage heard it.

Ran Shaotang felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he opened the curtain and poked his head out to see what was going on outside.

The man and woman had stopped, and Ran Shaotang's carriage was at the front. She recognized them at a glance.
