Their May Day travel plans were ruined.
Interpol is just like this; when it's idle, it's really idle. Lin Wan clocks in every day to help with departntal connections, with plenty of ti for cultivation. But when it's busy, it's truly hectic, especially needing to travel around the world for work.
As soon as she returned after a few days, just in ti for a short holiday, the task ca again.
Lin Wan left, and Lu Zheng called his parents, telling them he would be in seclusion for a few days, then put his phone into a gourd, crossing back to ancient tis.
...
The sumr was bright, with clouds floating in the vast blue sky.
A gentle breeze stirred, and the flowers blood naturally.
On the official road, there were scattered caravans or itinerant rchants passing by. When they heard the sound of hooves ahead or behind, they would move closer to the roadside, letting the faster horseback riders pass by.
At this mont, a caravan of more than a dozen large carts, under the protection of several guards, was slowly advancing when suddenly they heard horseshoes clattering from the front.
"Move aside, move aside!"
"Make way, make way!"
Better to let it be than cause trouble; if you can yield, do so. In these tis, those who ride horses are usually not to be trifled with.
Several guards instructed the drivers to steer the carts towards the side of the road, conceding half of the already narrow official road.
As the caravan made space, everyone saw the figures of the riders upfront.
A man and a woman, two riders on fast horses.
A yellow-maned, cyan-maned horse, with a scholar in a cyan robe on its back, having sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, well-defined features, and a spirited look. He had a long sword hanging beside the saddle, appearing to be both literate and martial.
A black cloud-snow steed, carrying a woman in a pink dress on its back. Although she wore a pink veil, her beautiful and alluring features were evident, especially her peach blossom eyes, filled with flirtatious charm, as if watery waves could overflow.
"What a perfect pair they are!"
"A match made in heaven!"
The people watched the man and woman with envy, as they galloped past the caravan and dusted off.
...
"Lu Lang!"
"Hmm?" Lu Zheng turned his head, looking at Shen Ying beside him riding the Ta Xue.
"Hehe, nothing, just wanted to call you Lu Lang once." Shen Ying said with a smile, her peach blossom eyes shining like water, filled with joy.
Lu Zheng also smiled at this, controlling the speed of Huang Feng, conserving its energy.
Shen Ying, too, reined in, controlling the Ta Xue to approach Huang Feng, riding side by side with Lu Zheng.
"The journey is long, and we have plenty of ti. We're not in a rush. If we can't find a place to stay, I've also prepared a tent." Lu Zheng said.
Shen Ying nodded, looking ahead, "We have already left Yizhou's territory."
Lu Zheng nodded as well, "We've entered Yanzhou's territory, a new place."
...
The two of them set off from Tonglin County the day before yesterday, bought two fast horses at the stable, one nad Huang Feng and the other Ta Xue. They didn't ride on clouds or use spells for swift movent, but traveled on horseback, enjoying the scenery and leisurely outings.
The day before yesterday, they arrived at Yizhou Prefecture, visited the Anomaly Suppression Bureau, and in the evening, Chu Jin hosted a banquet, inviting Duan Changzai, Du Huanzhen, and You Che, a few skilled friends of Lu Zheng, to the restaurant for dinner.
Yesterday, in Yizhou Prefecture, Lu Zheng accompanied Shen Ying for a stroll, and only set off in the afternoon. By today's afternoon, they finally left Yizhou's territory.
After passing the state border monunt, they no longer traveled on the official road. It was not because Lu Zheng felt it was slow; rather, he and Shen Ying were on a free travel tour, and the official roads, winding with people, did not offer much beautiful scenery. What was the point?
Upon encountering a tea stand, Lu Zheng bought a bowl of tea and casually asked for directions, then led Shen Ying onto a trail through a beautiful forest towards their destination.
"The owner didn't deceive . What a sea of red maple trees." Lu Zheng and Shen Ying ventured in several miles, where ordinary trees gradually turned into red maples. The red leaves were like fire, eyes filled with a crimson sea, and when the breeze blew, the red leaves of the mountain swayed, making one feel as if walking in the clouds.
"It's really beautiful." Shen Ying smiled.
This red maple forest felt different from her Peach Grove. The Peach Grove was like smoke, while this red maple forest carried an invisible fresh and clear spirit.
The two rode side by side, never urging their horses to gallop, simply relaxing the reins, allowing the horses to walk slowly along the forest path, taking a break while observing the scenery around them.
"Shall I sketch a quick drawing for you?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Ying's eyes lit up, greatly tempted, "Wouldn't it delay our ti?"
"What do you think?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow; he only sketched a piece for Shen Ying the day before yesterday.
"Hehe." Shen Ying giggled, visibly throwing a seductive glance at Lu Zheng, sticking out her fragrant tongue to lightly lick her upper lip, "Shall I say?"
Lu Zheng paused, recalling that the previous night at the Yizhou inn, he had Shen Ying sit by the window while he used a pencil to draw a "Beauty Misses the Moon" illustration. It indeed didn't take long, but Shen Ying, moved, thanked him in her own way, and that thank you lasted for half the night.
Thus, it's really hard to determine the ti needed to draw a picture...
Shen Ying, lively with smiles, raised the whip, signaling the Ta Xue to start trotting. As Shen Ying turned back with a laugh, she said, "Co chase . If you catch , I'll let you sketch a drawing!"
Lu Zheng burst into laughter, clamping his legs around Huang Feng, which imdiately sped up, neighing as it chased after Ta Xue.
One black, one yellow, the two horses chased each other through the red maple forest, quickly covering most of the distance.
Then, the two horses ran side by side, the back of Ta Xue was empty, while on the back of Huang Feng, there was a pink figure.
The pink figure was curled up in the arms of another cyan figure, rising and falling with the horse's movents, sweaty and softly singing.
...
Shen Ying tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, not bothering with Lu Zheng's mischievous hand on her chest. Instead, she tidied up her slightly disheveled dress, adjusting her posture to make it more comfortable for Lu Zheng, taking a rest.
"Lu Lang?"
"Hmm?"
"If you don't help with the sketch soon, we'll be out of the forest!" Shen Ying said with a smile.
"Sketch, sketch, sketch!" Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Find a beautiful red maple, and then..."
As he spoke, Lu Zheng suddenly paused, then withdrew his hand, and Shen Ying's eyes flashed as she sat up straight.
"Do you think that boss knew?" Shen Ying turned back to look at Lu Zheng with a charming smile.
Lu Zheng shrugged, "Honestly, I really couldn't tell."
Shen Ying nodded, unable to suppress a smile, "I couldn't tell either, but if that owner often set up shop there, he should know, shouldn't he?"
"Maybe he didn't dare? Soone on their tea stand is watching over him?" Lu Zheng still didn't like to think the worst of people.
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" Shen Ying nodded repeatedly.
Their husband was kind-hearted, so naturally, Shen Ying had to follow his lead.
Lu Zheng held Shen Ying's slender waist, as they both rode a single horse along the forest path.
A warm and loving scene.
The next mont, three people from the front and two from the back suddenly erged from behind the trees, gazing at the two with greed written all over their faces.
