Chapter 315: The Young Trio
When revisiting the old place, Su Shengsheng and his party were filled with emotion.
Needless to say, Li was filled with sadness when he recalled everything.
When he left, Brother Heng was only four and a half years old.
Now that he's back, even though he's only a year and a half older, he's become a lot more mature.
Even at that time, when the family encountered great changes, he did not cry or feel afraid.
Now, when they revisited the pavilion where they took shelter from the rain, apart from Li, Heng Ge and Su Shengsheng's family of three, Qing Ning and Mu Ze also had expressions of disbelief.
But the sweetness on the corners of her mouth is no longer as sharp as it was back then.
It seemed that she was thinking of the "secret fight" between the two of them that day, and the bickering along the way, and Li's eyebrows were bent with a smile.
Su Hengji is stranded in two states and has not returned yet.
But I feel very relieved when I see my daughter being carefully cared for by my son-in-law, my youngest son growing up healthily, and everyone around me is safe.
If only... Yuan Ling hadn't suffered an accident, it would have been fine...
Their sudden return to the capital inevitably caused heated discussions outside.
Even if the three parties did not admit it personally, the daughter was pregnant and was taken back from Baishang Kingdom by her son-in-law.
It still inevitably spread.
But this time, Li was no longer worried.
She believes that there will always be a rainbow after the storm.
The wishes I made then have now been fulfilled.
Seeing that it was getting late, he called his daughter to return.
Although Xie Xuan arranged his itinerary quickly, he still sent soldiers to conduct thorough inspections along the way just to be on the safe side.
It was after lunch when we came down the mountain.
Su Shengsheng didn't have a good appetite, but unexpectedly, this vegetarian meal was quite tasty, so she couldn't help but eat more.
After wandering around the old place with Xie Xuan and revisiting some memories, I felt like I had almost digested the food.
When we got back to the carriage, my mother, who knew me best, had already prepared sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Xie Xuan rode his horse outside the carriage to guard it personally, while she, her mother, and Brother Heng were chatting and laughing together in the carriage.
Qing Ning was clamoring with Mu Ze to ride a horse.
Hearing the two people arguing again, everyone in the group started laughing.
Qing Ning insisted that Mu Ze teach her how to ride a horse, but later she became dissatisfied with his slow riding speed and simply rode a single horse herself.
This made Mu Ze nervous and he kept telling her, "Slow down, be careful."
More timid than a cat.
Qing Ning had the courage of a newborn calf, and she retorted to him, "Aren't you the ones who should be careful?"
What I mean is, at most she would fall, but it was the horse that was running around recklessly.
It has to be said that Mu Ze really couldn't defeat her.
In the past, I relied on my status as a benefactor to avoid being at a disadvantage on the road.
But now, looking at the look on his face that seemed to want to pull her back from the horse, there was no trace of his former arrogance.
The horse was braver than him, and it pranced along, carrying Qing Ning far away.
Su Shengsheng ate pastries while watching the two quarreling enemies, and almost choked with laughter.
"You're already a mother, why don't you be more stable?"
Her mother sighed and quickly handed her some hot water.
Su Shengsheng suppressed her anger and hugged her with a smile, "Mom, I am so happy now."
If the matter of the Second Saint could be resolved smoothly, then she would have nothing to worry about.
"As long as you are happy, as long as you are happy." Li smiled and embraced the two treasures in her arms.
…
The journey there and back was very smooth.
Entering the main road of the imperial capital, the scattered team reunited.
When they reached a fork in the road, the team unexpectedly met three young men riding their horses side by side.
In the noisy market, Su Shengsheng saw Ning Jie, who had a face more arrogant than a ferret.
Riding on the horse, I felt a lot taller.
But that kid was so brave that he pretended not to see even when Brother Heng waved to him and greeted him.
What a little brat.
Su Shengsheng shook her head, glanced at General Han in a fiery red robe on the other side, and her eyes fell on the young man in the middle.
He was on horseback, saluting Xie Xuanzhijiang.
That look... between his eyebrows and eyes, he actually looks a bit like Xie Xuan.
Could it be...
Su Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the young man lost in thought, she heard the sound of a whip.
Ning Jie had a gloomy face and turned his horse around to make way.
This made the young man in the middle, who had not yet exchanged a few words with Xie Xuan, startled, and then he rode his horse out of the way.
At first glance, he has a calm temper and is easy to talk to.
With Ning Jie's personality, I don't know how he can accompany others in studying.
A man in red, wearing bright clothes and riding a fast horse.
A man who is as calm as the breeze, modest and polite.
The other one had a sullen face and a bad temper.
Such a group of three teenagers naturally attracted attention.
Seeing them make way, they quickly gave way to their convoy.
The imperial capital is bustling, and if you delay for a short while, you'll be stuck in traffic behind you.
When Su Shengsheng saw Xie Xuan finish talking to the three people, he looked back and lowered the curtain.
Inside the car, my mother sighed, "Young Master Ning has grown quite a bit taller."
Su Shengsheng snorted, "Your temper is getting worse too."
It’s bad enough that he sent people off without saying hello, but now that they met, he didn’t even say a word.
Just as I was complaining in my heart, suddenly the horse outside the carriage neighed loudly.
Before Su Shengsheng and the other two could react, they suddenly rushed out.
"Sister..."
"Sheng'er..."
Mother and Brother Heng protected her at the same time, but the situation became even more unstable and chaotic.
Outside the car, Xie Xuan had already shouted and was chasing after him.
In the chaos, the only sound was Qing's frightened voice, trying his best to stop Ma.
But the horse seemed to be completely out of control and knocked over countless stalls along the way.
Xie Xuan sternly asked Zaiqing to get off the car first.
The car curtain was blown open by the strong wind, revealing Xie Xuan's pale face.
Just as he was about to jump into the car, Ning Jie came to the other side without him noticing.
"There are traces of blood on the horse. It must have been hit by a hidden weapon. The carriage was cut off and fixed with a spear."
While Qing was avoiding the people around him, the three people in the car were already squeezed together.
If there are any errors before...
Xie Xuan did not hesitate at all, and together with Ning Jie, who was barely standing side by side, cut off the key part connecting the horse and the carriage.
When the horses broke free, they attacked at the same moment, crossed the spears in their hands and fixed the body of the car.
But even so, Su Shengsheng's body was unstable and bumped out.
Brother Heng had a small body, but he resolutely put his whole body under her.
"Huff, huff..." Su Shengsheng was so scared that her soul flew away.
It was not until Xie Xuan rushed over and helped her up from Heng Ge that she came back to her senses tremblingly.
"Are you okay?"
"Sister, wuwu..." After all, Brother Heng had never experienced such a thing, and the half-grown child was so scared that he started crying.
But it wasn't for him, but because he was scared by Su Shengsheng's look.
Su Shengsheng steadied her trembling hands and said, "I'm fine. Let's send mother and the others back first."
At this time, General Han had already jumped on his horse to intercept the madly running horse.
Zai Qing also caught up with him.
Mu Ze and Chu Zhao had quickly passed down the order to be on guard and search.
Li was also very scared, "Sheng'er, are you okay?"
Su Shengsheng shook her head. "Luckily, Brother Heng was there to cushion me. I'm fine, but my legs are a little weak."
As he spoke, he instructed Qingning and Qingran, who had finally rushed up, to help his mother and the others down first.
Xie Xuan was trembling all over, and the hand covering her lower abdomen was frighteningly cold.
"How dare he!"
Not to mention him, even Su Shengsheng didn't expect that someone would attack her so quickly.
