The carriage galloped out of the capital.

The huge city gate behind him slowly closed in the golden-red sunset, and the night gradually faded as it got farther away from the city. The sound of hoofbeats became clear.

Jiang Xue sat quietly in the car for a long time.

In the end, he couldn't hold back, opened the car curtain by the window, and looked towards the rear: the bright lanterns on the city tower were getting farther and farther in sight, and gradually dimmed, like the sparsely hung lanterns in the night. cold star.

She always thought that if one day, the day when she finally threw everything away and left the capital, she would be as happy as a bird out of its cage.

However, things backfired.

Xie Wei's disappointed and decisive words at the time of parting were like a vicious curse, turning into a dark cloud, a gust of dark wind, constantly hovering in her mind, covering her heart, lingering and lingering.

There is no real freedom in the world.

Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, as long as you have a bond in your heart...

Will be trapped in the cage forever!

What does he know?

It's just to intimidate her, force her, and not want her to leave the capital!

Jiang Xuening retracted her gaze and slowly closed her eyes.

She forcibly cleaned up her chaotic thoughts, and only counted the sound of the driver in front of him waving his whip, so that she would not think about the things that happened in Xie Wei's house that were beyond her expectations.

From the capital city to the land of Shu, it is a long way, a distance of three thousand li.

Although the news from the imperial court was urgent for 300 li, 600 li or even 800 li, and it took ten or even a few days to make a trip, although Jiang Xuening did not bring many salutes, it was also They loaded a carriage, and brought along two maids, Tang'er and Lian'er, as well as guards from the house to ensure their safety. Even if the horses were well-chosen, they could not compare with the imperial court, so when the weather was good, they traveled more than a hundred a day. It is already considered as the top of the sky.

The days are long and the nights are short in summer, which is suitable for walking;

But there are also many storms in summer, and once the weather is not suitable, they have to stay in post stations or inns, or even stay in villages.

In her previous life, Jiang Xuening was used to being pampered and pampered in the capital, but she decided to go to Sichuan earlier, and it was inconvenient to eat and live all the way, so she was forced to lose weight, and she was a little out of shape.

When we got to the edge of the Yellow River, we caught up with the flood just after.

There are hungry people everywhere, and there are hungry people on the road.

I don't know where many Tianjiao people came out, spreading rumors about the incompetence of the court and the incompetence of the emperor, saying that the emperor's bad behavior caused the natural disasters, and they opened porridge sheds to give, but they held people's hearts in their hands.

Jiang Xuening is not in the court and is not an official. Even if she can't see such a tragic scene, she can't help so many victims. Those words are really not "rumors", but Xie Wei strategized, even the Heavenly Religion was wiped out in his last life, he presumably has his own insight into these things, and he doesn't need others to remind him.

In the end, she became cruel and told the coachman to continue driving.

Crossing the Yellow River, passing through Luoyang, crossing the Shu Road, and arriving in Chengdu, almost from early summer to early autumn, the scenery seen along the way has also changed from the vast plains to the Tangtang of the Weihe River, the natural dangers of the Shu Road, and finally Tianfu surrounded by mountains and mountains fertile field.

You Fangyin had received the news that she was going to come to Sichuan, and used her own money to buy her a house in Chengdu and Ziliujing in advance, one for her permanent residence and one for her stay, and she calculated the time half a year earlier. Yue arrived at the post station in Chengdu to meet him.

Seeing Jiang Xuening getting off the carriage, she almost didn't recognize him.

Exquisite, pale and full of dust, the exhaustion of the long day made her look much thinner than before, and the whole person even seemed to have an indescribable sense of loneliness and depression, which almost made You Fangyin burst into tears.

Ren Weizhi was a little embarrassed, but also a little curious. He stood in the distance and didn't approach him for a long time.

But Jiang Xuening laughed and helped You Fangyin who saluted him.

Looking around, all the weather conditions are different from those in the capital city. The passers-by speak the dialect of the Shu region. Except for You Fangyin who came to greet her, everything is very strange, which made her feel like wandering in a foreign land. .

For a moment of trance, Xie Wei's words echoed in his ears again.

But what followed was novelty and joy.

She ignored the strange sadness and emptiness.

In the next two years, Jiang Xuening hid behind the Ren's Saltworks, and for her promise to Shen Zhiyi, she recklessly expanded the territory of her business, but there were traces of her meddling in any business that brought in quick money, and through The method of quickly accumulating money by issuing silver stocks has gradually spread in the commercial centers along the Yangtze River.

In the second year, she had secretly contacted Yan Lin.

Jiang Xuening made herself have no time to think, she never wronged herself above food and clothing, everyone below obeyed her, and no one above could control her, let alone those hypocritical and cumbersome entertainments.

But even so, he still dare not stop.

She was afraid that once she stopped and had a moment of free time to think quietly, she would find that even if the choice of coming to Shuzhong was not wrong, the two-year defection was only a personal proof of what the person said. How correct it is.
