Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 468 Traveling far away

The sound of horse hooves was loud and clear, making a crisp sound as they stepped on the bluestone road.

Yue Fuli was wearing a black battle robe, the corners of which fluttered in the wind. He exuded a murderous aura, as if he had just come down from the battlefield, his edge exposed. The invisible sense of oppression made people feel awe.

He was followed by a team of personal soldiers, all of whom were wearing light armor, wearing long swords at their waists, and riding horses. Their orderly rhythm made the people along the way step aside early and be in awe.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the mansion.

Yue Fuli pulled the reins of his horse and looked at Si He. Then he saw that the joy in her eyes grew stronger and stronger, and she was full of smiles.

Now that summer has arrived, she has changed into seasonal clothes and put on a gorgeous and thin summer dress. Her figure is graceful, and her towering bun is like a flower bud about to bloom. The exquisite pearl hairpins embellish it, making her radiant.

The doorman hurried forward to bow and lead the horse. Yue Fulilu withdrew his gaze, dismounted, and walked towards the mansion.

"Husband."

Hearing her voice, Yue Fuli looked at her again and replied lightly, "Yeah."

After not seeing him for a month, she found that he had darkened a lot, and the oppressive and cold aura hidden in him was stronger than before. He also looked a little more mature. It seemed that he had been exposed to the wind and sun and experienced a lot during this period.

However, before she could say anything, another group of people came running in from outside, their faces slightly anxious. The leader stopped his horse and said hurriedly: "Master, there is urgent military information!"

As the man spoke, he hurriedly dismounted and walked over quickly.

After all, this was not a place to have a conversation, so Yue Fuli led his men towards the study in a hurry.

Si He looked at them busy and walked quietly in the mansion without disturbing them.

She went back to the backyard and waited. About half an hour later, a guard came over and gave her a message. It was about Yue Fuli investigating Mo Mo's whereabouts. Although she later asked Ruyuanlou to inquire about the news, he still sent someone to investigate.

But after finding out the news, I sent it to him first as usual. He has been busy with many things recently, and only after he came back today did he remember to ask someone to deliver the news to him.

Si He received the news and the results of her investigation were similar to those of Ruyuan Tower. She then asked Yue Fuli about the progress of the official business, but the guard said that he had gone out of the house again.

She pursed her lips and said nothing. There was nothing she could do as the business was urgent.

I originally thought that he would come back later, but it was not until dark that the guards brought back news that he had left the city again and his return date was uncertain.

She didn't sleep well that night. Besides worrying about Yue Fuli, she was more worried about Mo Mo.

The main reason is that Momo has been targeted by someone. Although it is not weak, it will always suffer if it is besieged.

Originally, she wanted to tell him in person that she was going on a long journey, but given the current situation, she was afraid she couldn't wait any longer.

The next day, she asked Gao You to prepare two sets of men's clothes for her so that she could go out in a low-key manner.

They wanted to persuade her, but failed. When the housekeeper of Yue Mansion learned that she was going on a long journey, he immediately looked worried and tried to persuade her in every way. The main reason was that the situation outside was tense and chaotic. Now people in the city tried to stay at home as much as possible. Who would go out?

But no one could persuade her, and since her master was not at home, they could not stop her from going out. In the end, they had no choice but to send a team of guards to accompany her.

Si He changed into a light men's outfit, mainly for the convenience of traveling and not attracting attention. After tying her hair up, she still wore a veil hat, even though it was a cloudy day today.

Gao You and Gao Zi also changed into men's clothes, and the group set off on horseback. Except for Si He, everyone was equipped with a sword.

When the group of people rode through the street, they attracted a lot of attention, but when they saw that they were from the Yue family, they did not find it strange. Since they were all dressed in men's clothes and were in a hurry, no one noticed that there was a woman traveling with them.

After leaving the city, Si He saw that the sky was gloomy, so he took off his veil hat, cracked his whip, quickened his pace, and headed north along the river.

The group galloped on horseback, raising a cloud of dust. Some pedestrians or teams on the official road gave way when they saw them from afar.

When they passed through some remote mountain roads, the bandits hiding in the forests did not dare to show up when they saw them. After all, this group of people looked difficult to deal with. Instead of fighting a tough battle, it would be better to rob some easy-to-catch fat sheep.

So they hurried along the way and did not encounter any trouble for the time being.

During the day's journey, she basically did not stop except for a few breaks. This made the accompanying guards look at her with admiration. They did not expect that she, a woman raised in a deep mansion, was not only good at horse riding, but also could endure such hardships. After a whole day's journey, she never complained of being tired.

Only Gao You and Gao Zi were relatively calm. They knew that she was skilled and that riding a horse was nothing to her. They were just curious as to why she was in such a hurry to go to the riverside to look for a giant snake?

As night fell, the group did not take a detour into the city, but simply found an inn along the way to stay for convenience.

This inn stands alone on the desolate roadside, next to a three-way intersection, with no village in front and no shop behind.

However, because it was located next to the official road, there were some guests staying there, as there were some horses parked in the stable next to the inn, as well as a simple carriage.

As night fell, the surroundings were silent, and only some sounds coming from the inn made the silence less intense.

A lantern was hung on a wooden pole in front of the inn. It swayed gently in the night breeze, and the light flickered.

The sign of the inn is very old and the words are a little blurry. You have to look carefully to see the four words "Qingfeng Inn" clearly.

After getting off the horses, only a few people were left outside to watch the horses, while the others followed Si He into the inn.

As we entered the inn, the waiter in the lobby came over to greet us quickly, and the shopkeeper behind the counter looked at us with a smile. There were several tables of guests sitting in the lobby, and judging by their attire, they looked like wandering people.

Si He glanced at it and then looked away. Gao You said to the waiter, "Three rooms upstairs."

One room is for Si He to live in, one is for Gao You and Gao Zi to rest, and the other is for the accompanying guards, who will take turns to keep watch at night.

Although Gao You was also wearing men's clothes, he did not conceal his voice when speaking. The waiter took a closer look and realized that there were three girls among the group of people.

The people in the inn lobby also looked over. Most of them were looking at the group of guards. Moreover, the guards were tall and blocked the girls' view, making it difficult to see them clearly.

The waiter said quickly, "Okay, sir, please go upstairs."

As the group was about to go upstairs, they suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses outside. The sound came from far away and got closer. From the noise, they knew that there were quite a few people.
