5.18 - Chase and Escape

When Xi Rong woke up, he was in the carriage.

He always slept soundly, but now it was so bumpy that he woke up even though the carriage was filled with soft cushions.

"Zhi Xiao? Zhi Xiao!"

Zhi Xiao outside quickly responded, "I'm here, young master. Don't be afraid. If it gets cold, there's Tang Pozi and Hu Qiu inside."

Xi Rong climbed forward two steps, opened the car door and lifted the curtain, and faced the knife-like wind and snow blowing in.

In the barren mountains and ridges, Zhi Xiao was driving with a kerosene lamp with a glass cover, and the carriage was running very fast.

It's snowing outside.

Xi Rong quickly closed the door. Inside the carriage, he was leaning against the door and asked, "What's going on, Zhi Xiao?"

Zhi Xiao's voice could be heard clearly in the wind and snow, as if it was speaking to Xi Rong.

Xi Rong put his ear to the door panel of the carriage and heard some words.

"The prince has rebelled and is arresting his family members. The master asked me to take you to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in Yanbei to hide for a while. Young master, don't worry, my servant will definitely protect you!"

Xi Rong was afraid that he wouldn't hear, so he shouted in the carriage: "Where's my dad?! Where's my dad?!"

Maybe it was because the wind and snow outside were too strong, and Zhi Xiao might not have heard it. Maybe he was responding, but the sound of the wind drowned out his response.

After a while, only the intermittent voice of Zhi Xiao came, "Master, cover yourself with a quilt... to keep warm."

The carriage was of course much warmer than outside, but it was also cold, even when covered with fox fur. Xi Rong kept talking in the carriage. At the beginning of the night, he and Zhi Xiao were lying warmly on the same bed. Keeping each other warm, now in the ice and snow, the temperature inside is not much different from outside, even if they are covered with fox fur, they are still cold.

How cold is that Zhi Xiao outside?

"Shall I give you a fox fur?"

Only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels could be heard, clanging, clanging, and no one responded.

Xi Rong was startled and shouted quickly, "Zhi Xiao!"

This time there was finally a response, "Master, my servant is here."

Xi Rong felt relieved, "It's still cold outside, I'll give you a coat to wear."

Zhi Xiao said: "I remember there is a cave over there. We will arrive soon. I won't be cold."

Xi Rong felt cold and worried in the carriage. His back was pressed against the door panel and he spoke to Zhi Xiao from a very close distance, "Aren't you here yet?"

"Hurry, hurry."

Although it was said to be fast, it still took half an hour.

When the carriage finally stopped, Xi Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Stopped at the mouth of a large cave.

The hole happened to be large enough to allow one or two carriages to enter.

This place is very open and can hide people.

Xi Rong opened the door quickly, and he shivered. Zhi Xiao happened to light the fire. When Xi Rong took a look, Zhi Xiao's hair was frozen.
