Chapter 364

Faint snowflakes drifted down like salt grains, covering the mountains and rivers, and even dyeing the boundless fields white.

A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the straight and wide road. The road was slippery in the snow, and there were very few people on the road.

At this time, there was a clear "ding ling" sound, and a carriage came from afar. Pulling the carriage was an ordinary black horse, and there was nothing special about it. But what was strange was that the carriage didn't travel in the middle of the official road. In the middle of the road, parallel to the black horse pulling the carriage, there was a glossy and spirited mule!

On the carriage pulled by the black horse sat a skinny young man. His eyes were closed as he rested. His hands were in an extremely mysterious position. It seemed that he had already fallen asleep. Everything seemed so normal.

However, if one were to pay close attention, one would be able to clearly see that although the snowflakes that filled the sky and became bigger and bigger stained everything, they did not seem to disturb the young man's beautiful dream at all. This was because there seemed to be a transparent cover around the young man's body. When the snowflakes landed on his body, it was as if they had landed on an abnormally smooth surface. They could not stay there and would slide to the side. Therefore, the snowflakes that filled the sky could not leave a single mark on the young man's body.

Right at this moment, a soft and clear voice sounded out. "Big Brother Ren, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. Aren't you going to take shelter in the carriage?"

Wasn't it Nie Qianyu's voice?

The three people in the carriage were none other than Zhang Xiaohua, Nie Qianyu, and Little Orange who had come out of Tanhe City!

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Xiaohua opened his eyes, loosened his hands, and released his Divine Sense. Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his face. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua was different from before. Although he had not seen him for more than a month, his youthful face seemed to have matured a lot. His smile also had a mature charm.

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "Little Fishy, it's okay. I like to see the scene of snow staining the earth. This snow can make me think of vitality and hibernation. Why don't you come out and have a look?"

"Big Brother Ren, I've said it hundreds of times. Don't call me Little Fishy. My name is Little Yu!

Really. "

Nie Qianyu's reproachful words came from the carriage.

Zhang Xiaohua raised his eyebrows and said, "You two, one is Little Orange, and the other is Little Fishy. Aren't you a good match?

Luckily, I'm smart enough to think of such a good name. Little Fishy, aren't you going to give me more money for the name? "

"Bah," Nie Qianyu spat and said, "Shameless!"

Another voice sounded, "Miss, I think you'd better take out those few golden leaves, lest Young Master Ren keeps thinking about them."

"What? The food and drink expenses along the way, the hotel expenses, and … and Huanhuan's expenses, which one of them didn't use my money? How can he have the nerve to say that?"

"Hahaha," Zhang Xiaohua felt very refreshed when he heard this. Of course, he didn't spend a single cent of his own money and rushed over from Tanhe City. How could he not be happy?

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohua's laughter, the people in the carriage also laughed. Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "Big Brother Ren, the sky is going to be dark soon and the snow is getting heavier. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the town."

Nie Qianyu felt very strange. They had been traveling for more than a month. Zhang Xiaohua was unusually cautious and never spent the night in the wilderness. Even when he saw that it was still early, he stayed in an inn and didn't move forward. Logically speaking, with his superb martial arts, why would he be afraid of some petty thieves?

However, since Zhang Xiaohua didn't explain, she didn't feel right to ask.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's okay. Ping Yang City is about four to five miles ahead. If we speed up, we should be able to make it by the time the sky turns dark. We've already passed the first day of the new year on the road, and we'll have to pass the fifth day of the new year in Ping Yang City."

"Eh?"

Nie Qianyu said in surprise, "Big Brother Ren, aren't you always bad at directions? How did you know that we're reaching Ping Yang City today?

It's all white outside the carriage. How can you tell? "

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua only laughed and didn't explain. Nie Qianyu in the carriage also seemed to be used to it and didn't pursue the matter. Zhang Xiaohua shouted habitually, "Hyah ~"

The deer immediately swung its tail and hit the black horse's buttocks. The black horse's hooves tightened again and it galloped forward quickly into the boundless snow!

After Zhang Xiaohua left Tanhe City, she told Nie Qianyu about her thoughts. Although Miss Nie was young, she was much more experienced than Zhang Xiaohua when she was the same age five years ago. She was also insightful about the ways of the world. How could she not quickly cozy up to Ren Baqian?

Naturally, she didn't have any objections. Wasn't it just a detour? Even if she had to go out to sea for a round, as long as she could return to Carefree City safely, she was willing to do so. Moreover …

Besides, there was another small thought. Hehe, let's not expose other people's privacy.

From Tanhe City to Ping Yang City, it was only a short curve in Xiaohua's scroll. Zhang Xiaohua drove the carriage for almost a month to pass through the few cities in between. Even the first day of the new year was spent hurriedly on the road. In the end, Zhang Xiaohua didn't return to Guozhuang House during the new year.

In the beginning, Zhang Xiaohua used the whip on the carriage to drive the black horse. However, after a long time, she got tired of it. Huanhuan, the deer, was indeed the spirit beast that Zhang Xiaohua mentioned. It actually understood its master's thoughts and caught up with Zhang Xiaohua. It only stopped when it reached a fork in the road and waited for Zhang Xiaohua's instructions. Along the way, Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and thanked Xiaohua even more in her heart.

When Nie Qianyu and Little Orange saw that the deer was so intelligent, they were also very surprised and liked it. Both of them had reared the deer before and had a deep understanding of its diet. Nie Qianyu's carriage didn't lack money, so along the way, although Huanhuan was a little different from the Rejuvenation Valley's deer, it was also well-fed and shiny. It was no longer as ugly as it was in Songning Town.

As for Nie Qianyu and Little Orange, after interacting with Zhang Xiaohua for more than a month, they went from being in awe and fear at the beginning to gradually getting to know him. They knew that this young man with powerful martial arts was not unapproachable and unapproachable. If his mysterious behavior and powerful martial arts were covered up, the Ren Xiaoyao in their eyes at the beginning was his true self.

Speaking of mysterious behavior, Zhang Xiaohua had to sleep well every night. Even when sitting in the carriage, he had to close his eyes to rest. Sometimes, he was obviously terrible with directions, but sometimes he could point out the road ahead. Sometimes, he even had the feeling that he could foresee things ahead. This really puzzled Nie Qianyu.

What annoyed Nie Qianyu the most was that this guy didn't even take out a single penny along the way. He always stretched out his hand to her to pay for everything. This … this wasn't the style of a martial arts hero!!!

However, Nie Qianyu was also very gratified by the benefits brought about by this most annoying thing.

From Tanhe City to Pingyang City, they had encountered all kinds of bandits, robbers, and other evil deeds. However, at this time, the value of a martial arts man was fully displayed. This guy didn't care how many robbers there were in front of him. He just looked left and right and came over with his long sword. He randomly found an extremely thick tree or a huge rock. He took a deep breath and swung his sword down. No matter how thick the tree was or how hard the rock was, it would collapse at the touch of his sword. Then, Zhang Xiaohua leisurely got into the carriage while all the robbers were dumbfounded. He shouted, "Go!" and the black horse automatically drove away, leaving behind the admiring gazes of the robbers.

Of course, there were also some who felt good about themselves because they had more people. Zhang Xiaohua didn't hold back. No matter how many people there were, she killed them all with one strike and then used the second strike. Nie Qianyu and Little Orange were starry-eyed when they thought of that. Then, they spat and laughed, "This guy is really barbaric!"

At the same time, they hid in the carriage and covered their mouths. How much money would it take to hire such a brave and fierce bodyguard?

It was a tiring but joyful journey for more than a month. Unknowingly, they were close to Pingyang City.

Nie Qianyu was so smart. Ever since they left Tanhe City, she didn't mention where they were going. She only followed Zhang Xiaohua's wishes. Occasionally, when Zhang Xiaohua couldn't make up her mind, she would raise her own opinions. Her tone didn't show any intention of inquiring about Zhang Xiaohua's destination.

However, Nie Qianyu was very familiar with the distribution of each city. Zhang Xiaohua's route was also very clear. As early as more than ten days ago, she already knew that Pingyang City was on her route. She just didn't know that this Pingyang City was Zhang Xiaohua's destination.

Five days ago, on the first day of the new year, the three of them spent it in a very small town. Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind. She hadn't spent time with her mother and father for many years. Although she really wanted to, she gave up the idea when she saw that it was still far away from home. She only felt a faint longing in her heart. However, Nie Qianyu was different. It seemed that she hadn't spent the new year outside since she was young. That night, her eyes were red and she didn't eat much. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to persuade her. She only comforted her and accompanied her silently.

Fortunately, Little Orange took his young mistress out for a walk. When they returned, although Nie Qianyu's eyes and face were red, she was in a good mood. It was just that she kept glancing at Zhang Xiaohua. She even toasted Zhang Xiaohua with a few cups of wine on a simple table.
