After waiting for a while, the sky became deeper and darker, and the black pressure seemed to come in advance, and the wind and rain did not stop, and lightning flashed in the sky like a silver dragon, and the rumbling sound exploded, making people feel cold, and the atmosphere became more and more cold.

The accompanying people and horses could hide in the carriage and hide in the car, and they could not set up an oil-paper umbrella or a simple oilcloth shed under the lush and wind-blocking trees, and they wanted to regenerate the fire to keep warm, but when the wind and rain blew, they couldn't grow at all, so they had to shrink together, so that they could warm up somewhat.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Xue Jinyi frowned.

Xue Jinyi pressed her shoulder, "I'll take a look." ”

"Well, be careful." Xue Jinyi handed over the hat and coat and helped Pu Yangxuan put it on.

Pu Yangxuan got out of the car, stepped on the slippery mud ground, and pretended to almost fall, but the guards hurriedly held his arm.

He stepped through the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and cautiously came to the front of the group, where several trees about the thickness of adult men's thighs and about a foot tall were lying on the road, and some of the tall and strong guards were struggling to move the trees, and three or four by the side of the road had been moved.

He walked to the side of the road and looked at the broken parts of the fallen trees, which seemed to be torn apart by an invisible divine power, and the whole section was like a barb, and if one was not careful, it was likely to cut his fingers.

It looks like it was blown down by a strong wind.

Ma Zhong walked over and said apologetically: "King Chu, I'm really sorry, because the wind and rain are too strong, so the guards are slower." ”

"It's okay," Pu Yangxuan said, "It's good to be on guard at all times." ”

Ma Zhong arched his hand, "King Chu rest assured, the officials don't dare to slack off." ”

Pu Yangxuan raised his hand and stroked the broken hole of the tree.

Ma Zhong hurriedly reminded: "King Chu is careful of hurting his fingers. ”

Pu Yangxuan suddenly pointed to one place and asked, "Look here." ”

Ma Zhong was puzzled and took a closer look, next to the fracture, there were traces of invagination, making the hard trunk like soft mud, which could be manipulated at will.

"It's ......," he said in surprise, "It's weird that this mark appears on the trunk of a tree!" ”

Pu Yangxuan made a few strokes in the depression, and the fingertips of the three fingers could just poke into the depression.

Ma Zhong was stunned and hesitated: "Are these trees ...... Someone who was artificially torn apart and thrown on the road? ”

Pu Yangxuan did not answer, but went to check on other trees, and also found some fingerprints on the trunks.

"Seems so."

Ma Zhong said: "Why do you want to do this? Moreover, how much strength does it take to tear such a thick tree apart?! ”

Pu Yangxuan looked at the trees blocking the road and asked, "Have you seen anything abnormal?" ”

"Nope." Ma Zhong shook his head, but looking at the strange trees that had been torn off by man, he felt a chill in his back, and couldn't help but wonder if they had overlooked something.

Pu Yangxuan looked at Ma Zhong's face in his eyes, and lightly ordered: "Tighten your vigilance and wait and see what happens." ”

"Yes!"

Pu Yangxuan walked towards the carriage, while paying attention to the movements around him, under the heavy rain and howling wind, it was easy to hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity to start.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and return to the carriage, took off his coat and hat, and got into the carriage.

The moment the curtain was lifted, the cold air penetrated in, and Rao Xue Jinyi deliberately took a thin quilt to cover her body, and she shivered with cold.

Pu Yangxuan closed the curtain of the car and didn't sit back next to Xue Jinyi, because she was afraid that she would be uncomfortable.

He told Xue Jinyi what he had found, "However, there has been no movement so far, could it be that the bandits want to rob the road, but seeing that we are the team of the government, they dare not rush forward?" ”

Xue Jinyi said: "There is also this possibility, or it may be ......" She looked at the dark sky through the gap in the curtains, "waiting for a better time." How long will it take to remove those trees? ”

"I guess it will take at least two moments before the road is cleared."

Xue Jinyi couldn't help but wrap the thin blanket tightly, "How is everyone?" ”

"It's going to hold on."

Xue Jinyi nodded, "Fortunately, it's almost over." When you get to the city, you must let everyone have a good rest and buy more things to keep warm from the cold. ”

She learned from the book that it was going to snow in Liangzhou at this time, and it would definitely be even more bitter cold than what she felt now. Although they had already purchased enough warm items when they passed through Pizhou, it seemed that it was still not enough.

This trip is dangerous and hard, and the people who accompany it also have families, who doesn't want to be able to return to the capital safely?

So it doesn't matter how big or small it is, even if you spend more money, you have to arrange it properly.

Puyang Xuan responded: "Okay." ”

Xue Jinyi continued to look at the people who were hiding from the rain under the tarpaulin, thinking about what method to use to make a fire in the wind and rain.

After a while, Ma Zhong came happily, "King Chu, princess, the road is open, you can set off." ”

Pu Yangxuan said: "Now that the sky is dark and the wind and rain are strong, don't be in a hurry to hurry, and don't relax and pay attention to the surrounding movements." ”

"Xia Guan understands."

The wheels finally rolled forward again, and Xue Jinyi exhaled, "I'll be able to drink a bowl of hot ginger soup soon!" ”

Now, she didn't have the heart to think about how to dress up, so as to win the favor of Puyang's parents, and all she had left was ginger soup.

Because it deliberately slowed down, it took an extra moment for the convoy to come to the outside of Gyeongju City, but before it arrived, the city gate was already closed, and a column of soldiers on the tower of the city gate was waiting for it, as if it was not the peace team that came to the city, but the enemy army.

Ma Zhong stepped forward to communicate, and his face became extremely ugly and came to the side of the carriage, "King Chu, it's not good, His Royal Highness King Feng ordered the city gate to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, because there are people inside and outside Fengzhou City who are suspected of being spies of Suo State, and for the safety of the Puyang family, the city gate cannot be opened until the spies are caught!" ”

Pu Yangxuan asked in a deep voice, "Does His Royal Highness King Feng know that the Yihe team has come to the city?" ”

Ma Zhong said: "The lower officials have already informed the identity of the gatekeepers, and they have indeed sent someone to inform His Royal Highness King Feng, besides, His Royal Highness King Feng should have calculated that we will come to Gyeongju in the next few days...... However, King Feng still did not allow the city gate to be opened. ”

"What do you want us to do?" Pu Yangxuan asked.

Ma Zhong was a little embarrassed, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Feng invited us to take it easy, and it is not impossible to bypass Gyeongju City and continue to the northwest, anyway, this city gate will not be opened for a while because of the peace team." ”

"Aren't you afraid that we will have an accident in the rain and affect the peace?" Xue Jinyi is really difficult to understand King Feng's brain circuit, if the peace cannot be negotiated, it will be the Great Zhou World that will be harmed!

Ma Zhong's expression was more ugly than crying, his lips moved, and then he said: "King Feng also has a saying about this, saying that if it affects the peace, it is also you, the king of Chu...... I can't do things on my own. ”

"......" Xue Jinyi was speechless.

"Really?" Pu Yangxuan chuckled lightly and instructed Qinglan to bring the cloak and hat, "I'll go and say it myself." ”
