Chapter 215 Too scary
That damn old woman is so unlucky. She blocked our young lady's way and really doesn't know how to live or die, the maidservant said, echoing the woman's words.
Never mind, he's just a lowly person, so if he dies, he dies. It's just that he delayed me from meeting the prince, which is a bit abominable.
Please ask them to hurry up. This county lady wants to see the prince as soon as possible. Thinking of the person she misses so much, her face softened unconsciously.
If it wasn't her eldest brother, how could she break off the engagement with the Crown Prince? She had admired that man since she was a child, but she never expected that when she woke up one day, everything around her had changed drastically.
She was sent to the farm by her eldest brother, and her marriage was called off for unknown reasons. Later, she learned that her fiancé's family had committed a crime and was exiled.
Now that she heard that the prince had returned safely, she naturally had to go back without delay. She wanted to explain clearly to the prince that she was not going to break off the engagement and that she still loved him.
Along the way, because they were blocked by the carriage in front, Mo Rao and his companions' carriage could not overtake and could only drive slowly behind.
As it got dark, and they didn't see any people along the way, they had no choice but to sleep in the wild.
Everyone, there is a suitable place ahead, let’s stop and rest!
After Mo Rao gave the order, the guards began to observe the surroundings. When they found a suitable place, they stopped there.
Miss, the carriage following us seems to have stopped to rest, said the maid.
The county lady said: Let’s find a place to stop and rest!
These people have been following us relentlessly. If we rest here, if they have bad intentions, we will be in danger, the maid reminded worriedly.
It's okay. If you're not afraid of death, they can come. These guards of hers were carefully selected by her father to protect her. It's easy to deal with those people.
If Mo Rao and others heard such remarks, they would be furious. They had already slowed down, so there was no way they were chasing after them. It was nonsense.
The two teams were not very far away from each other and could see each other's situation clearly.
After a whole day's journey, the county lady felt exhausted and just wanted to get off the carriage and move around.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw the other person's situation, which made her eyes hurt.
In order to make her journey easier, she chose a small and narrow carriage, which was very convenient for her to sleep.
Obviously, the other party's carriage was not as spacious as his own, but this time it was not the case.
The carriage opposite looked ordinary, but unexpectedly it contained a secret.
The curtain around the carriage was opened, revealing the steel plates inside. Due to the late hour, I couldn't see the material clearly, so I just got a rough idea of it.
Some steel plates hidden inside were opened, and the carriage was suddenly enlarged several times, so a small house appeared, and the horses were set free to graze elsewhere.
The guards over there also set up tents. The materials used for the tents are windproof and rainproof, which can keep you warm when you sleep at night. The most important thing is that they don’t take up space when you fold them up.
Mo Rao went to a secluded place to deal with the major event in her life, and when she came back, everything had been sorted out.
Those who were gathering wood for the fire had already prepared the food.
Looking at the noodles in the bowl, covered with fragrant beef jerky, Mo Rao ate without thinking. She had been on the road for a long time and had stopped by a simple market at noon, so she bought a few buns to fill her stomach. Now she could eat hot noodles, which made her feel quite happy.
On the other hand, the county lady's carriage was too small to sleep in. The guards set up the tent, but due to the cramped space, it was impossible to light a fire inside. The darkness inside frightened her for a moment. If she hadn't been in a hurry, she wouldn't have slept outdoors. It was too scary.
The maids and servants prepared the food and set it on the table for the county lady. If Mo Rao and others were there, they would be shocked. This person could eat fried dishes in the wild. She really knew how to enjoy herself.
But the person involved didn't think so. She looked at the food in the bowl and had no appetite at all. She had been jolted around in the carriage all day and felt sore all over.
She swore that she had never suffered such hardship in her life, it was too difficult.
Looking at other people, they were also riding in carriages, but they acted as if nothing had happened, walking around here and looking around there. It didn't look like they were in a hurry, but rather like they were just sightseeing.
After finally taking two bites, I couldn't eat any more.
The wind was howling in the open air, and the county lady, who was sleeping in the tent, was shivering with cold even under a thick blanket. Thinking of the passersby next door, she could see a light inside the carriage, which showed that there was a fire burning inside.
It's easy to imagine how warm it is inside. It's a world of difference from my own. My carriage, though made of fine sandalwood and adorned with the finest pearls and jade, is impractical for emergencies! The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. As I thought about it, I fell asleep.
Although the guards, maids and servants outside had no tents, they were still warm as they sat around the fire.
Mo Rao slept comfortably in the carriage. After tidying up, she turned off the lights and went to rest. As she fell asleep, Mo Rao had no idea that her carriage had become a source of hatred.
After a good night's sleep, Mo Rao stretched lazily. Meihua then brought the prepared toiletries to her.
"Miss, we should set off early so that we can be ahead of those people," Meihua asked respectfully.
Well! Let's pack up and go. Otherwise, it would be very frustrating to be stuck behind those people all the time.
Just as they set off, the county lord also started packing up and setting off.
So the county lady's motorcade followed Mo Rao and his group at a very fast pace. The so-called "very fast pace" really meant that they did not dare to stop for a moment.
The county lady sat in the carriage, looking at the carriage in front of her running very fast, and felt inexplicably happy. The carriage was running so lightly, and the key was its fast speed.
She observed carefully again and found that even though the carriage passed through the bumpy road, the carriage did not seem to be shaking much.
Unlike her carriage, which would bounce three feet high when passing over bumpy roads.
Not to mention anything else, she was absolutely satisfied with the speed.
At this speed, she would definitely be able to reach Kyoto in no time. No, this carriage must be hers.
So she whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and the maid lifted the curtain to find the leading guard.
After receiving the order, the guards began to pay attention to the carriage in front.
Since the two teams were going to the same place, they were bound to intersect on the way. At first, Mo Rao was very concerned about it. After all, there was only one road, and it was up to others to decide where to go.
But later she found that these people seemed to be following her intentionally. Her carriage had been improved, so it was naturally much faster.
Along the way, the people on our side rested when they were tired, but the group of people behind them seemed to be deliberately chasing them, and it felt like the wheels of their carriage were about to fly off.
When they arrived in the town, there were many inns and restaurants, but they chose the inn they stayed in, which was obviously problematic.
The county lady and her maidservant felt as if their bones were falling apart, and they needed someone to support them even when walking.
The county lady saw Mo Rao and his group sitting there eating as if nothing had happened. Their carriage was moving so fast, but they were not affected at all. It must have something to do with the carriage they were riding.
She no longer had the strength to do it, so she had to let the guards do it.
After the wing room was ready, the county lady didn't even want to eat and went into the room to rest.
The leading guard always remembered what the county lady had instructed, and when he saw the other party's carriage, he observed it carefully.
The other party's carriage was very ordinary and there was nothing special about it, but it ran as if there was no carriage at the back.
The horses were also full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue at all, unlike their carriages. Once the horses stopped, they looked exhausted and as if they would fall down at any time.
The horses used for the county lady's carriage were fine horses that could run a thousand miles, while the other party's horses were ordinary horses. There was no reason why their carriage could be faster than the county lady's.
The leading guard saw that Mo Rao had her hair combed into a bun and was surrounded by many guards and followers, so he thought she must be the wife of a wealthy family. With the mentality of not offending anyone, the guard stepped forward and bowed, then said respectfully: Madam, hello.
Mo Rao thought to herself, now that she was here, she wanted to see what these people were planning.
I have witnessed with my own eyes that these people treat human life as worthless as grass. How can such people have a good heart?
The reason why the guards were polite to them was that they didn't know the details of these people.
Mo Rao was not in a hurry and said with a smile: Brother, just tell me what you want to say.
The leading guard said truthfully: It is like this, my young lady has taken a fancy to your lady's carriage. As long as your lady is willing to give it to you, our young lady's carriage can be given to you, and we will also give you a generous reward.
