Chapter 50

The convoy stopped by the suspension bridge and lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the palace attendant in front to come back from scouting and pass through one by one.

Hua Shijun held Bi Ran's hand, fearing that he would be cold, and pulled him to his side to snuggle up. The two looked at the two palace servants who were leading six blindfolded horses and carefully crossing the hanging bridge. .Those six horses are all tall horses, plus the weight of the two palace servants with big arms and round waists, it is roughly equivalent to a light four-wheeled chariot.If they can pass, the next three vehicles can also pass smoothly.

Hua Moyi laughed and approached Hua Shijun: "Brother." Then he warmly said to Bi Ran, "Brother Ran, it's windy at the edge of the cliff, why don't you go back to the carriage and rest first."

Bi Ran said indifferently: "Thank you, Second Highness. Bi Ran was tired after sitting in the car for a long time. Why don't you take this opportunity to walk around, so that you can exercise your muscles and bones." He lightly blocked Hua Moyi's temptation.

His Highness's gaze wandered back and forth on his well-clothed clothes, Bi Ran wrapped himself so tightly that no flaws could be seen at all.Noticing Hua Moyi's inquiring gaze, Bi Ran pulled down his cuffs to cover his fair wrists, and coughed lightly: "Second Highness?"

Hua Moyi hurriedly turned her gaze: "Well, it's good to come down and take a walk." Then she turned her gaze to the guards who had reached the center of the suspension bridge, "Isn't this road originally included in our route plan? The surrounding scenery is so strange .”

Hua Shijun hummed, "The original route took too long. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the convoy was still more than an hour away from the first post station. So we took a shortcut temporarily and the local villagers took us through. This suspension bridge can save time on detours.”

The convoy stopped and rested several times along the way, all in order to take into account Bi Ran's physical condition in the carriage, so of course it was later than the scheduled time.Hua Moyi knew that Hua Shijun wanted to move forward at a snail's pace to ensure that Bi Ran would not be disturbed in the slightest, and he began to secretly agree with Hua Qianqiu's remarks. A man who has children really does things like a mother-in-law.

Hua Shijun noticed Lu Xiaonian who was following him two steps away, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "This woman in red is the actor you accepted at Yuanwei Xiaozhu? Tell her to come forward and give me a hand." Gong has a look." Hearing this, Bi Ran also cast his eyes on Lu Xiaonian, and both eyes fell on Lu Xiaonian, but the former was curious and scrutinizing, while the latter had a little more meaningful speculation.

Lu Xiaonian didn't dodge, lifted the hem of the gauze dress that was dragging on the ground with both hands, stepped forward slowly, stood still in front of Hua Shijun and Bi Ran, and saluted slightly.Layer after layer of rouge was applied on his face, his eyebrows were drawn thin and long, his lips were as pink as water, and he also wore many ring pendants, step shakers, jewels and treasure hairpins that jingled on his body. The person is wrapped in a ball of bright red jewels, and if you don't distinguish carefully, you really can't see his original handsome facial features clearly.

Hua Shijun just glanced at it hastily, leaving a shallow impression like Hua Qianqiu that "this woman might look better without makeup", and then looked away.

But Bi Ran stared very closely, his eyes flicked back and forth on Lu Xiaonian's face for a long time, and there was a vague clarity in his eyes.

Hua Moyi was afraid that Bi Ran would show her feet if she continued to follow her, so she leaned sideways between Bi Ran and Lu Xiaonian, sneered, "Brother Ran, her vocal cords are damaged and she can't speak, don't blame her for being rude."

Bi Ran said: "I don't know that His Highness the Second Highness likes this type of woman. She is slender and well-proportioned, slightly taller than the Second Highness, like a practicing family."

Hua Moyi smiled dryly: "She... She was born as a sword dancer, so her figure is inevitably a little stronger than ordinary women."

Hua Shijun said casually: "I heard from Qianqiu that she can dance well with two swords in one hand, and she has the air of a heroine?"

Hua Moyi laughed dryly again: "Ha, haha, it's okay. That's how she moved me."

"As long as you like it."

Hua Shijun didn't ask any more questions, but Bi Ran chased after him: "I can hear that Bi Ran is looking forward to it. In this case, after arriving at the palace and resting for a while, can I ask this girl to dance a song too, so that Bi Ran can enjoy it?" Eye-opening?"

"Uh..." Hua Moyi said, "But you can..."

"Then it's agreed." Without giving him the chance to make excuses, Bi Ran made the final decision, immediately turned his eyes away, and ended the conversation hastily.

Hua Moyi and Lu Xiaonian looked at each other, thinking what kind of tricks Bi Ran was going to play.

At this time, several palace attendants who had explored the way first had led the steeds to the opposite side of the suspension bridge safely, and were tying the horse ropes to several lush pines and cypresses.Hua Shijun waited and watched for a while, making sure there was no danger, and waved his chariot to cross the bridge first.

The driver of the car did the same thing, first blindfolded the horse, and then waved the whip to drive the horse to slowly step on the long suspension bridge made of stacked planks.The four horses are fairly well-trained. Although the wind howls in their ears, and the manes on the horses' backs are staggered in the cold wind blowing up from the bottom of the cliff, they still move forward cautiously and steadily. snorting sound.

Lu Xiaonian quietly moved a few steps to the side, looking at the suspension bridge that had been built for an unknown amount of time.The wooden boards laid on the suspension bridge look [-]% new and should have been renovated recently, and the load-bearing capacity is quite reassuring.but-

His eyes shifted to the two stone pillars on this side where the ropes of the suspension bridge were bound. The wind erosion of the stone pillars was obvious, and there were several obvious signs of peeling off; The hair was fluffed off the thread, and as the car drove on the suspension bridge, the rope also swayed here and there following the swaying pace of the horse.

It was almost dusk, and from the bottom of the cliff, a few wisps of white mist gradually floated up from the bottom of the cliff.

Lu Xiaonian took Lahua Moyi's hand, and the Second Highness was concentrating on watching the eldest brother's car safely pass the last section of the suspension bridge plank.

Hua Moyi turned his head, and Lu Xiaonian mouthed to him: ──In a while, you and Bi Ran will cross the bridge together in a chariot.

Hua Moyi was surprised, she glanced at Bi Ran who was also attentively watching the chariot across the bridge from the corner of her eye, then lowered her voice: "Why do you want me to ride in his chariot?"

The cultivator's eyes fell on the two stone pillars on the opposite bank where he couldn't see the situation clearly, and then retracted, his lips moved slightly—you pass first, let Hua Shijun follow the chariot and ride across the bridge, and I will be last.

What else did Hua Moyi want to ask, Lu Xiaonian had already gently pushed him to Bi Ran's side, Hua Moyi couldn't catch up, took two steps and almost bumped into Hua Shijun who was standing on Bi Ran's left.

Hua Shijun stretched out his long arms, and held Bi Ran tighter in his arms, frowning in displeasure: "The hair is frizzy, what does it look like!"

His Highness the Second Highness gave Lu Xiaonian an embarrassed look, and said bravely, "Brother, I... I am afraid of heights, can you let me and Brother Ran cross the bridge together? I don't want to be left at the end..."

The eyebrows frowned even deeper: "Are you afraid of heights? I don't even know when it started."

"It's because the cliff is too high. I just took a peek down. The abyss is bottomless. To tell you the truth, brother, I really have weak legs..." Hua Moyi talked nonsense. Although she didn't know what Lu Xiaonian was up to, she died anyway. A stalker can never go wrong in watching over Bi Ran.

Bi Ran's bright eyes narrowed slightly, before Hua Shijun could refuse again, he said, "It's okay, Second Highness will take the car with Bi Ran, and we will take care of each other."

"Yes, yes, brother, you see that brother Ran has said so~~"

Hua Shijun carried Bi Ran half-supported and half-carried into the chariot, turned to Hua Moyi and said, "Get in the chariot."

Hua Moyi jumped onto the chariot, glanced at it, and saw that there were all medicines and incense burners in the chariot, and even some dry food and water were stored for storage. No wonder Bi Ran insisted on riding alone, the interior space is indeed not spacious .

Hurriedly stopped Hua Shijun, who was about to get off the chariot, and said: "Brother, you also pick a fine horse and follow us, one after the other, quickly cross this bridge."

Hua Shijun thought that he was still afraid of heights, and hoped that he would follow behind, which was also a way to increase his courage.She raised her eyebrows, "I won't be too late until all the convoys pass through."

"Brother!" Seeing that Hua Shijun really planned to be the queen, Hua Moyi didn't know where his acting skills came from. After crying, she threw herself on his elder brother, with teary eyes, "Brother, I'm really scared. You and Xiaoyi live together together." Bridge... big brother~~~~~"

It was rare to see His Highness acting like a spoiled child, and all the guards and maidservants paid attention.

Hua Shijun's black line: "Quickly let go, I promise you!"

Lu Xiaonian watched as Hua Moyi and Bi Ran arrived at the center of the hanging bridge in the second chariot. Hua Shijun also rode a tall maroon horse. With a rein, the horse followed the chariot for five steps. .The wind at the bottom of the cliff was blowing more and more fiercely, and the whistling sound of the wind was rushing past people's cheeks, like ghosts and gods weeping, which was shocking to the ears.

Hua Moyi poked half of her head out of the chariot, looking backward but was fascinated by the white mist gradually rising from the bottom of the cliff, she couldn't see clearly the clear figure of Lu Xiaonian standing by the bridge, only vaguely saw a red dress .Bi Ran sat across from him with his eyes closed. He didn't open his eyes, but seemed to be able to spy on his every move and mental state: "Don't worry, even though the fog is rising, he still has plenty of time to cross the bridge."
