Wang Ruo wasn't surprised to see him. She just nodded slightly and said, "I want to get something. Why, do you want to come with me?"
When the gentleman heard her bring it up, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and said, "Yes."
Wang Ruo pulled up the veil on her face and said, "If you leave too, who will be in charge of this place? If it's handed over to Yaochen and Xihe, won't there be chaos? Don't worry, I'm just going to Qingliang Valley to get some things and will be back soon."
The gentleman looked at Wang Ruo's figure gradually disappearing in the dense forest, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and only dared to say in his heart that he would leave early and come back early.
On the official road back to Qingliang Valley, Tang Chen couldn't sit still in the carriage any longer. Seeing that there seemed to be no pedestrians or horses on this section of the road, he lifted the curtain and sat down next to the driver: "It's so boring, brother, let me switch seats with you!"
The driver drove the horse and thought she was joking and said, "Madam, don't joke with me."
Tang Chen turned around and looked at Wang Yanzhou. He didn't say anything, just smiled at her. He probably felt relieved that she was fooling around here, so after being rejected by the coachman, he simply didn't move.
After taking the cushion handed to him by Wang Yanzhou and sitting down next to the driver, Tang Chen faintly sensed a sharp, light fragrance drifting into his nose from the burly driver, accompanied by a hint of sweat. "Hey, brother, why do you seem to smell faintly of alcohol? Drunk driving is not recommended!"
"I didn't drink any alcohol. I just drank some strong tea to refresh myself before we set out." As he spoke, the driver lowered his head and smelled the smell on his body. He could not smell anything except sweat.
Tang Chen rubbed his hands together excitedly, and said again eagerly: "It's good that you didn't drink. Then you slow down and let me try!"
The driver saw that the woman's husband was looking at them and just smiled, not saying whether he agreed or not. After thinking for a while, he slowly stopped the carriage and said, "Okay, I'll teach you from the side. It's safer to go slower."
"Okay, go!"
Under the friendly guidance of the coachman, Tang Chen quickly mastered the art of driving. As long as the horse didn't suddenly lose its temper and kick, she felt she could drive all the way back to Qingliang Valley.
Wang Yanzhou was so happy that he moved to the side of the car door. Tang Chen saw that he seemed to want to try it too, so he turned around and said, "How is it? It looks pretty good, right?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded and said, "Not bad."
Tang Chen glanced at the space outside the car and said, "Brother, you can switch seats with him. He has driven a car before, so it's okay."
The driver suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had been driving for so many years and had never ridden in a car before. What would happen if he made the car dirty? "This, this is not good, right?"
Seeing him decline, Wang Yanzhou said, "Come in. There's not enough room for three people outside."
After the driver and Wang Yanzhou exchanged places, the carriage continued its leisurely journey along the empty official road. Previously, the road had been relatively flat, but here, perhaps because there were no towns nearby, the road became noticeably steeper.
Tang Chen was driving the car and bragging to Wang Yanzhou when the horse suddenly went crazy and rushed forward without control. It was not until he felt a burning pain in his palm that Tang Chen hurriedly asked Wang Yanzhou to drive with him: "Oh my God, help! How do I stop this?"
Wang Yanzhou thought she was just joking, but when he took the reins, he realized something was wrong. Tang Chen's hands were already red from being rubbed, as if they had been burned. No matter what they did, the horse just kept running around recklessly, like it was drunk.
When Tang Chen asked the driver for help, he found that the driver was sitting in the carriage with a blank look in his eyes, looking as if he had lost all hope in life. "Oh my god, Yanzhou, look, this driver has gone crazy along with the horse, right?"
Wang Yanzhou looked back at the driver, who was sitting there blankly with his eyes wide open, speechless. He was suddenly in a dilemma. He had originally thought of abandoning the car, but now it looked like it would be difficult to carry two people at once. "He might be frightened. I told you not to mess around!"
Tang Chen retorted: "When did you say that? How come I didn't know? And, didn't you come here to join in the fun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Chen snatched the reins from Wang Yanzhou's hand in a state of dissatisfaction. Just as he had the reins in his hand, someone suddenly walked out from the woods beside him and slowly walked onto the official road ahead.
Wang Yanzhou saw this and thought to himself, "Quick, turn, there's someone ahead!"
"Turn, how do you turn?"
After Tang Chen's frantic attempts failed, he simply threw away the reins and hugged Wang Yanzhou with his eyes closed. At worst, they could die together. He just hoped that this damned horse would know to turn around and not implicate innocent people.
Wang Ruo saw that the carriage coming from the front seemed to be out of control, so he jumped lightly; the moment his toes landed on the horse's head, the beast seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and its head was buried in the mud.
In this situation, the car was bound to overturn. At the moment of the overturn, Wang Yanzhou pulled the driver out with one hand and held Tang Chen tightly in his arms with the other, and rolled into the grass beside the road.
Wang Yanzhou rolled around on the ground holding Tang Chen for several rounds before stopping: "Ah Chen, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Tang Chen squinted his eyes and hissed a few times before saying, "Head, headache, everything else is fine."
Wang Yanzhou hurriedly touched the back of Tang Chen's head with his hand. After confirming that there was no blood flowing out, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid the wound has opened. I'll help you up and check you right away!"
Tang Chen covered her head and waved her hands. It wasn't that it didn't hurt, but the wound was bald, and she didn't want to be seen in such an ugly state in broad daylight. There was no bleeding anyway, so she decided to wait and see. "It's okay, it's okay. Let's take care of the car and my benefactor first!"
The masked woman who suddenly appeared, dressed in white and covered in white gauze, looked like a cloud falling from the sky. If she hadn't seen Wang Yanzhou's facial features that were similar to her sister and that damned emperor, she wouldn't have stood there in the middle of the road, watching the frightened horse.
Looking at the horse foaming at the mouth and twitching all over, and then looking at the familiar appearance of the frame, they couldn't have rented a car at the post station at random:
"Your horse looks like it's been drugged."
Tang Chen glanced at Ma Hou and didn't say much. He just kept apologizing to her: "Sister, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Wang Ruo shook her head slightly and said, "Nothing's wrong. You're innocent. You look like you're out here for a bit of sightseeing."
"No, I was just about to go home." After saying that, Tang Chen suddenly remembered that the driver was still lying in the grass: "Brother, wake up, the driving rights are back to you!"
Wang Yanzhou said with a gloomy expression: "Don't shout, I'm afraid he won't wake up."
"What?"
