First Lady of the Crown Prince

   Chapter 606 Father! (Three shifts)

  Xuan Pinghou left the tea shed and was still feeling that the folks here are really enthusiastic, and they don’t charge money for tea.

  The owner of the tea shed has opened a stall here for seven or eight years. This is the first time I have seen such a stubborn customer!

  Simply!

  The torrential rain is torrential, and there is no sign of abating. It is very dangerous and inconvenient to drive on this kind of rainy day.

  Of course, that was someone else. Xuan Pinghou was a general. He had experienced worse weather on the battlefield than before, and he would not be easily blocked in the middle.

  Xuan Pinghou wears thick clothes and hats, and rides on his tall horse.

  He patted its horse's head and looked at the waterfall-like rain: "The old thing is dying. Can't he let him die?"

  Ma'er seemed to feel the determination and murderousness of the owner, roared, raised his front hoof, and rushed out in the torrential rain desperately.

  On the other side, Xiao Heng finally came to the tea shed that Xuanpinghou once brought at night after a long journey.

  The tea shed will be closed at night. However, the rain is so heavy that the guests can't leave, and the owner of the tea shed can't return home.

  The tea shed was full of dangdang, the price of tea and food skyrocketed, and the steamed buns for two cents rose directly to ten cents.

  The carriage ran in the rain. Liu Quan was wearing a quilt, his eyes almost unable to open and said: "Rokuro, there is a tea shed over there, do you want to go to rest for a while?"

  Xiao Heng stared at him and said: "Uncle Liu, you have worked so hard to move forward."

   Liu Quan tightened the reins and said, “I’m fine, I’m worried about you! I’ve been on the road all day, how is your injury?”

  Xiao Heng said: "I'm fine, then let's continue on the road."

"Eh."

   "Wait." Xiao Heng said suddenly, "Stop it."

   Liu Quan stopped the carriage: "What's the matter?"

  Xiao Heng looked at the map in his hand, and then at the fork in the road ahead: "There are two roads ahead, I don't know which one he took."

  Both roads can go to the official road near Xishui Village, but the road conditions are different, and the time spent on the road will be different.

  Xiao Heng learned of these things only after he was familiar with the geography of Zhaoguo. Hou Xuan Ping hadn't been to the land of King Liang, and he might not know which way was closer.

  "Go to the tea shed and ask." Xiao Heng said.

"okay!"

   Liu Quan drove the carriage to the tea shed.

  The owner of the tea shed was boiling water. He saw a carriage parked next to him, and said without thinking: “It’s full, there’s no land. You should go forward. There is a post on Ten Mile Road in the east.”

Xiao Heng opened the curtain and looked in the direction of the tea shed owner through the thick rain: "Excuse me, I want to ask you personally, is there a tall, handsome, handsome man in his early thirties who has been here today? "

  Xuanping Hou is not in his early thirties, but he is too young, and his temperament in his early thirties is still a bonus.

  The owner of the tea shed put a handful of firewood under the stove, and casually replied: "There have been several, which one do you think?"

  Xiao Heng wanted to say the best-looking one, but a big man couldn't say it, and his handsome appearance was the upper limit of his ability.

  Xiao Heng thought for a while, then rolled his eyes and asked: "The one who stingy?"

   "Ah! You say him!" The tea shed owner was excited in an instant, and the power of spitting out like the water of the Yellow River is endless!

   "I have never seen such a pick in a tea shed in my life! A copper plate! Can you believe it!"

   "The beggars gave us both!"

  "……"

  Xiao Heng has endured the fire that he should not bear at this age.

  "Where did he go?" Xiao Heng asked.

   "Over there!"

  The owner of the tea shed shook his hand angrily.

   "Thank you." Xiao Heng lowered the curtain, lowered his head to spread the map, "Uncle Liu, let's go."

  The owner of the tea shed is fascinated.

  No, co-authoring you for nothing?

  At any rate, buy two steamed buns before leaving!

   "Stop!" The tea shed boss stopped Xiao Heng's carriage.

  Xiao Heng opened the curtain: "Is there anything else?"

  The owner of the tea shed grabbed two buns and handed them to him, then raised his palm and turned it over.

  Two fives means ten.

  Xiao Heng is not in the mood to eat, and doesn't want it, but the boss has to give it, so he can only avoid it difficult to accept it.

  He took the buns and waved to the tea shed owner, "Thank you, goodbye."

   Then he left.

  Tea shed owner again: "...!!!"

  He looked at his frozen hand, and then at the bun that was taken away.

  What do I mean? !

  ……

  The rain is so heavy that the horse can't run at all and can only move slowly.

   "Uncle Liu, if it has been so heavy rain, he should have only been here now." Xiao Heng pointed to a small village on the map, "Yangliu Village."

  Liu Quan didn’t understand this. He had never been to Pingle Fucheng, and Xiao Heng was always showing the way along the way.

  He asked: "Then is he far from the location of the incident? If it is too far, he might not catch up with the landslide."

  Xiao Heng said: "Walking for someone else will definitely not catch up."

  But he is Xuanpinghou.

  No matter how many obstacles ahead, he will definitely walk out of a road leading to the Liang Palace.

   Liu Quan heard Xiao Heng’s worries, he pressed his head to silence, and asked: "Then we can catch up with him?"

  It's difficult.

  This is the possibility that Xiao Heng found after analyzing each road in the map.

   "Go another way." Xiao Heng said.

   "Okay." Liu Quan drove the carriage into the opposite lane.

  From the map, this road is farther than the road Xuanpinghou chose, but it is flat and the road conditions are better than that.

   However, this is the case. They still walked the whole night on the road that could be completed in two hours in the past.

   Thanks to Xiao Heng in advance let Liu Quan put on the strongest horse in the Imperial Guard, otherwise they would be fine at the moment, and the horse would be exhausted first.

  It was dawn, but the rain was pouring, and there was almost no light in the entire Pingle Fu City.

  Xiao Heng frowned: "We haven't reached Yangliu Village yet."

  Xuanpinghou's speed was faster than them, and if this continued, after the middle of the night, he couldn't reach the place of the incident.

  Xiao Heng opened the curtain and said to Liu Quan: "Uncle Liu, we can pass through the forest in the north, and we can go straight to the vicinity of Xishui Village."

   Liu Quan was taken aback: "Cross through the woods? That's not good, the carriage can't go!"

  Xiao Heng said: "Stop the carriage, ride a horse."

   Liu Quan disagreed and said: "Can you ride a horse with your injury?"

  Xiao Heng took out a set of clothes from the bottom of the car and put it on, and then put on a hat: "I just have a skin injury. I haven't moved my muscles and bones. It's not a problem."

  Skin trauma can't be exposed to the rain!

  Furthermore, even if you move your muscles and bones, will you stop again?

  Liu Quan, but he could only abandon the carriage by the side of the road. Fortunately, the carriage was equipped with two horses, and the two of them sat on one of them and walked into the forest.

  Xuan Ping Hou's journey was not smooth, he clearly chose a shortcut according to the map, but the situation was full.

  Xuan Pinghou looked at the wooden bridge that was washed down by the torrential rain, and suddenly felt a toothache.

Below    is not a shallow stream, but a big river rushing like a torrent.

  Xuan Pinghou touched the horse's head, looked at the broken bridge resolutely, turned the direction and walked back, he stopped at about fifty paces, and turned around again, his eyes became sharp: "Drive!"

  The horse raised its hooves and galloped quickly. When approaching the broken bridge, Xuan Pinghou’s legs clamped the horse's belly and raised the reins!

  Faced with the rushing torrent, the horse did not retreat, but jumped over the broken bridge in accordance with the owner's instructions!

   "Good job." After landing, Xuan Pinghou patted it, "Go!"

  After passing the village in front, it is the official road that leads directly to the Liang Palace.

  Lao Liang Wang, it's time for you to die.

   "Rokuro! Slow down!"

  After not knowing how many falls, Liu Quan is almost out of energy. Their current situation is that even the horse is not willing to go. They can only lead the horse forward.

"you saw it!"

  Xiao Heng pointed to the village filled with heavy rain, "That is Xishui Village!"

"Have it?"

  The sky is too dark and the rain is too heavy, and Liu Quan’s oil lamp can hardly shine through the line of sight.

  From morning to now, he doesn’t even know what time is right now. He just knows that he can’t walk anymore.

   "It should be almost time." Xiao Heng said breathlessly, "Don't go over, just wait for me here."

   "That can't...no..." Liu Quan sat on the ground.

  Xiao Heng took the oil lamp from him and walked towards the village without leading a horse.

   "Liu...Rokuro..." Liu Quan didn't even have the strength to shout.

  The villagers in the village have been evacuated, and the poultry that can be taken away are also taken away. The village is empty except for his lonely figure.

  He passed through the village, and when he reached the entrance of the village, he heard the sound of horses hoofs from far and near on the official road.

It's him!

   is Xuanpinghou!

  Xiao Heng is too far from the official road, and the kung fu horse that ran over has already ran far.

  He had to walk forward in the rain while shouting loudly: "Stop! Stop!"

  The sound of rainstorm shielded all sounds to the greatest extent, and even the sound of horseshoes underneath became weaker, not to mention a distant human voice.

  But Xuan Pinghou still vaguely heard a little bit, not really.

  Is anyone talking?

  Someone is calling him?

  Like...son's voice.

   Then Xuanpinghou smiled. How could his son come here in the capital?

  I must have heard it wrong.

   "Drive!"

  He drank sharply.

  Xiao Heng watched one man and one horse drove past the official road in front of him.

  He just felt his breath was strangled.

  Xuan Pinghou saw the oil lamp in his hand, but Xuan Pinghou did not stop. He would not stop just for a stranger on the side of the road.

  Xiao Heng looked at the crumbling mountains. The rocks had already been slid down. He could almost hear the sound of collapsed faults inside the mountain.

  He looked at the tall back who rushed to the mountains desperately, a voice in his heart broke through the heavy shackles.

   "Father——"

  　 I dreamed that I would give you three shifts. I woke up and thought about it. The dream of getting rich overnight can’t come true, but it’s okay to give you three shifts.
