Outside, the rainstorm was torrential, clattering as if the heavenly river had broken, the rainwater was so heavy that one could hardly open their eyes, the fully armoured team leader stood outside the carriage with a respectful bow, the icy cold rainwater poured down on his armour, pouring in along the cracks of the armour, then flowing out from under the leg armour and merging into the turbulence at his feet.
Even so, the armour-clad team leader stood motionless outside the carriage, as did the other armour-clad cavalrymen.
At a glance, they were well-trained and powerful horsemen.
Compared to them, the uniformly dressed guards were dwarfed by the straw raincoat-clad ones, who from time to time wiped a handful of rainwater from their faces, or shook the rainwater from their bodies, or tightened the straw raincoat on their bodies.
“What is it?”
A lark-like young girl’s voice came from within the carriage, heavenly and moving, as if a lark had flown in the torrential rain.
“Enlighten Miss, just now the scout rider came to report, the official road in front of about two miles is seriously waterlogged, half a metre deep; at about three miles there is a location that suffered a landslide, the rocks and broken trees blocked the official road, spreading more than a hundred metres before and after, the road is impassable, and it is difficult for the carriages and horses to pass through.”The cloaked armour team is standing outside the car, eyeing the foot, respectfully arching his hand and reporting back.
“Ah?”
Words, the carriage of the bun face little maid let out a cry of alarm, chubby little paw subconsciously covered her mouth, wrinkled bun face pitifully looked at her own miss, with a scared little kitten like, then waved the chubby little paw gently beat up his own mouth, “ooohhhh, miss, I’m really a crow’s mouth, I’ve just said that the rain affects the road to catch up to doI just said that the heavy rain would affect the journey how to do, this will come true, I really crow’s mouth ……”
“Foolish Painter ……”The stunning young lady rolled her eyes and used the Poetry Scripture in her hand to gently tap the bun-faced little maid on the side of her head.
“I know it’s wrong miss, I’ll never crow again. But, what should we do now Miss?”The bun-faced little maid was without a backbone as if she had no backbone, her baby-fat face wrinkled into a ball.
“What to do, keep walking.”The stunning young girl breathlessly rolled her eyes again, put down the Poetry Scripture in her hand, and softly said.
“Ah?”The bun-faced little maid was at a loss, didn’t she say that there was a waterlogged landslide ahead, could she still continue on her way?
“My humble servant is incompetent, please atone Miss, I’m afraid I can’t continue the journey today. Ahead of the water slippery slope serious, for Miss safety, I dare to ask the caravan to turn back, temporarily return to the back of a mile of Cangxian post, please Miss temporarily rest in the post. After the rain stops, then continue the journey.”Hearing the words of the stunning young lady inside the carriage, the armoured team outside the carriage arched their hands and confessed.
They were ordered to escort the nobleman and his party to the capital, and when they came, the upper peak carefully explained over and over again that they must be delivered safely, and if the nobleman lost a single strand of hair, not to mention them, even the upper peak would be questioned by the military law. Before the trip, the upper peak also repeatedly urged, must be your people as a small ancestor to provide, even if they all hanged, but also to ensure that your people can not be less than a hairline.
Therefore, they had to be cautious.
Along the way, they were all extra cautious, scouting riders, sentry riders, an encampment, guards, and so on, everything was more cautious and careful than the battlefield.
Originally, with such a heavy rainstorm, they shouldn’t have continued onwards, but nay, the nobleman requested it, so they had no choice but to follow orders.
However, it was true that they couldn’t continue on the road now, the water was too deep and it was too dangerous with landslides blocking the road. Even if they walked through this section, but the road ahead also had many safety hazards, with such heavy rainstorms, there were too many landslides and mudslides and other safety hazards on the road.
After the Cloaked Team was confessing and requesting to turn back to the post station to wait for the rain to stop before rushing on, the head of the courtyard guards and one of the stewards of the mansion also walked over together.
“Miss, what Team Leader Bian said is true, the rain is too heavy, the water on the road ahead is so deep that it can submerge half of the wheels, and the mountain slopes on the side of the road are unstable, so I’m afraid that there will be the danger of landslides again. We’d better return to the Cang County post first, and wait for the rain to stop before continuing on our journey.”The head guard stood next to the cloaked team leader, meaning roughly the same as the cloaked team leader, both thinking of going back to the post station to take shelter from the rain and wait until the rain stops before rushing on.
“Please turn back to the post station and wait for the rain to stop before rushing on, when I came here, the master explained that he must make sure that the young lady is safe. This rain is really too heavy, it would be troublesome if we encounter a landslide.”A steward from the mansion also chimed in.
Crunch.
The carriage window opened slightly, the bun little maid with baby fat face showed out, glanced at the torrential rain outside, pursed her little lips and passed on the message, “Miss said to continue the journey, no matter what to reach Tianjin Mansion before tonight.”
“Ah?”
At those words, the few people outside froze, looked at each other, then the armour-clad team leader once again arched his hand and said, “Miss Painter, please tell Miss, the water in the eyes of the road section in front of us, there is a landslide, it is really not suitable to continue to rush.”
“Yes, please also ask Miss to think twice.”The head of the courtyard guard and the steward concurred.
“Miss ……”The bun-faced little maid turned her head to look at her ah miss.
“Listen to you or listen to me?”
The voice of a stunning young girl came from within the carriage, sounding like a warbler’s cry, pleasing to the ear, seemingly inadvertent enquiry, but with an unquestionable aura.
“Naturally, I am listening to Miss.”The three people outside the carriage respectfully returned.
The stunning girl’s cherry lips hooked up a smile and lightly said, “Waiting to ask for a reward?”
The person was beautiful, the voice was sweet, and the laughter was even more refreshing.
The sound of heavenly music is just like that!
However, listening to the car outside the three ears, but the body can not help but rise a touch of shudder, especially the house steward is the heart and liver are followed by a tremor, he was in the house for half a lifetime, well aware of their own Miss’s powerful, Miss’s means is not the average person can afford to suffer. Rather mess with the master, do not mess with the young lady, this is the mansion spontaneously formed a kind of consensus.
“Please atone for your sins, the road ahead is too treacherous, it is really inappropriate to continue the journey. For the sake of Miss’s safety, please ask Miss to order a return to the Cang County post station, and rush again after the rain stops.”The armour-clad team leader stiffened his head, arched his hand and repeated again.
“Please think twice, miss.”The head of the guardhouse and the steward also followed suit and hardened their heads as they appended.
“That means there are difficulties in continuing the journey?”The stunning young lady swept a glance at them.
“Yes, please think twice miss.”The three returned.
“Think twice?”The Jaded Maiden laughed lightly in disdain, “If you let this Miss think twice when you encounter difficulties, then what use do I have for you?”
“This?”The three of them were stunned, “But Miss, this is a once-in-a-decade rainstorm, waterlogging and landslides, it’s too dangerous.”
“Zhuge Liang never asks Liu Bei, why do we have so few arrows? Guan Yu never asks Liu Bei why we have so few soldiers? Zhang Fei never asks Liu Bei, what should I do when the soldiers are approaching the city? Zhao Zilong never asked Liu Bei what to do when he is trapped in Cao’s army. That’s why Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat, Guan Yu crossed five hurdles and cut down six generals, Zhang Fei drank away Cao Cao’s 100,000 troops at Chang Ban Po, and Zhao Zi Long saved Ah Dou in seven ways.”The stunning girl pursed her cherry lips, glanced at them, and continued, “If it’s smooth sailing and everything is ready, then what’s the point of having you guys?”
At those words, it was as if a thunderbolt split the black curtain before their eyes for the three people outside the carriage.
“Only when there are difficulties can your value be revealed. If you encounter difficulties, go solve them. Before sunset tomorrow, I want to arrive at the capital safely and smoothly, don’t make me repeat myself a second time. Once you reach the capital, everyone will be rewarded.”After the stunning girl finished speaking, she closed the window of the car.
