Chapter 740: Picnic

On Qin Yao's side, the family put aside the unpleasantness that had just happened, felt the free air brought by nature, looked at the scenery of the suburbs of Beijing, and walked happily to the nunnery in the northern suburbs.

Halfway through, Awang stepped forward and walked side by side with Qin Yao, and whispered: "There are three people following us."

Qin Yao snorted, "Let him go, as long as it doesn't affect our family's picnic plan today."

Awang hesitated for a while, then turned around again and saw Sikong Jian, a man and a horse gradually approaching.

"The two secret guards didn't show up, and the national master followed up alone." Awang added.

Qin Yao took a deep breath, suppressed her desire to kill, and signaled Awang to tell Liu Feiyin Le and others to pretend that Sikong Jian did not exist and they could play their own games.

Awang took the order and rode to the carriage to give Qin Yao's instructions. Everyone in the carriage turned their heads and glanced back. They were speechless and puzzled when they saw Sikong Jian actually following them.

Only Liu Ji knew that this guy was definitely here to cause trouble for him.

"Fourth brother, get out of the way and I'll drive." Liu Ji got out of the carriage, drove Liu Fei away, and drove himself.

Now his waist was no longer sore and his legs were no longer hurting. He just wanted to impress the national master behind him who wanted to overtake with his driving skills.

The road is not too narrow, and there is plenty of room for a large carriage to pass.

The road conditions on both sides are not very good, with lush vegetation and numerous potholes.

So Liu Ji drove the carriage, sometimes leaning a little to the left, sometimes a little to the right, crowding Sikong Jian so hard that he had to run to the side.

There was no saddle underneath him, and he relied on his legs to clamp the horse's belly to control his body. He was swinging back and forth, and for a while he couldn't overtake the carriage.

Liu Ji proudly made a face at him.

Sikong Jian sensed this strong provocation and became no longer polite. He jumped off the roadbed several times, trying to overtake the car in a curve.

As a result, Liu Ji shook the reins, and the speed of the car suddenly increased, and he was blocked on the edge of the roadbed, unable to get up or get down.

The two of them competed all the way. I was happy, but the people in the car were complaining.

Qin Yao listened to the noise from behind, turned around and shouted: "Liu Ji!"

The speeding and swaying carriage slowly stopped.

Sikong Jian seized the opportunity, took the lead, rushed to the front of the carriage, and successfully caught up with Qin Yao.

He controlled his horse's speed to keep pace with her, turned around and smiled brightly at Liu Ji in the car, "Promise!"

Liu Ji was so angry that he picked up the kettle and was about to throw it at him. Hu Meizi will die!

Yin Le, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly took the kettle from his master's hand and reminded: "This jug is full of ice cubes, keep it for making watermelon ice cream. It's expensive, so don't throw it away."

After saying that, he handed over one of the darts on his waist, "Master, use this, this is easy to use."

Liu Ji: "Ah Le, my master doesn't want to go to prison just yet."

"Oh, okay, shall I put it away then?" Yin Le shook the dart to confirm again. After confirming that the master nodded in agreement, he put his dart away again.

Sikong Jian withdrew his gaze from Yin Le and turned to ask Qin Yao beside him: "Is that your apprentice?"

Qin Yao said "Yeah" impatiently.

Sikong Jian murmured: "No wonder." He was just as cruel as her master.

Qin Yao thought he was an eyesore and pointed to the woods nearby, "If you want to follow, you can, but can you not let me see you?"

"You didn't want to drive me away?" Sikong Jian looked surprised.

Qin Yao snorted and asked sarcastically: "Do you think I can drive you away? Unless I kill you, you will not disappear voluntarily."

The corners of Sikong Jian's lips slightly raised, "Madam seems to know why I came."

Qin Yao's tone was sincere: "I'm just taking my family out of the city to get some fresh air. You don't have to be so wary."

"What should you be wary of?" Sikong Jian pretended to be stupid and refused to leave, so he walked alongside her.

Qin Yao took a deep breath again, suppressed her murderous intent, and exposed it ruthlessly, "Be careful if I sneak out of the city to meet someone somewhere, and I might harm you."

"You don't think I know where Wang Jin is, do you?" Qin Yao asked funny.

Without waiting for Sikong Jian's answer, he looked at the smile he was struggling to maintain and said sarcastically: "Speaking of which, Master National Preceptor, you suspect that your illness is so severe that it can easily harm your body."

"It doesn't matter." Sikong Jian gritted his teeth, "I am in very good health. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can come to my house and I will show it to you myself."

Liu Ji suddenly shouted jealously from behind: "What are you talking about? Can you speak louder? I'm afraid of being heard by others!"

Seeing the sudden change in Sikong's face, he immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Liu Ji stared, "Madam, he is cruel to me!"

Qin Yao looked coldly at Sikong Jian: "Are you going to get out or not?"

Liu Ji immediately laughed proudly.

Sikong Jian glared at Liu Ji, turned the horse's head, entered the nearby woods, and fell far behind.

Don't blame him for being suspicious, it was really a bad day for her to go out of the city today. She didn't come out early or late, but she didn't leave the city until the black knight came to her door.

It was hard for Sikong Jian not to suspect that she had reached some kind of deal with Heiqi - such as assassinating Wang Jin.

It’s just that today Sikong Jian’s efforts are destined to be in vain.

When they arrived at the foot of the nunnery mountain, Qin Yao's family chose a shady place near the river. They set up a shade tent, set up a carpet table, took out the prepared cantaloupe delicacies, and started eating, drinking and playing.

The children had not been wild in the mountains for a long time. After helping the adults set up the pergola, they took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, grabbed their uncle, and went down to the river to catch fish together.

Across the river bank is a green mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a fertile field. The early-maturing rice has reached the time of harvest.

The farmers bent over and worked in the fields. Behind them, incense was curling in the nunnery on the hillside, and waves of faint sandalwood fragrance drifted in.

The river water gurgled in front of me, and the sound of farmers threshing and children playing were in my ears. There was no dispute or trouble. It seemed to have become a peaceful and small world independent of the world.

Yin Le poured out the Pai Gow she brought, and the "clattering" sound of the jade cards colliding was very pleasant.

She called her master, the master's father, and Awang. The four of them gathered at a table, each holding a corner, and taught them the Pai Gow she learned from Mrs. Wang. The four novices were thinking about playing cards together.

There were salty and sweet snacks prepared by Awang in advance, as well as cold watermelon ice cream. After winning the card, she took a bite and relaxed the whole person, indulging in Pai Gow and forgetting worldly troubles.

It was not until Liu Fei led the children to catch fish and bring them back that the four of them put down the jade cards, made a fire, killed the fish, and started to barbecue.

When they finished eating all the food they brought, the sun gradually set in the west.

With the warm glow of the setting sun, the family, big and small, happily waved goodbye to the farm children on the other side of the river who were seduced by the aroma of barbecue and went home contentedly.

In the grove, the state teacher who was staring at people diligently was not only hungry and thirsty, but also had several big lumps bitten by mosquitoes.

After watching Qin Yao's family return to the city with his own eyes and confirming that she remained neutral, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
