Chapter 184: First arrival in Cognac Village
As the night passed, they were woken up early in the morning by the chirping of birds. In order to get on the road as soon as possible, Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan of course had to get up earlier, one to pack their luggage, and the other to prepare breakfast for seven people and the coachman. The luggage grooms helped, but it was easier. It's just breakfast, and it's not very convenient to drink water on the way. Everyone is separated from the brigade again, and this water source is not easy to find.
Xiao Gong has some experience than Xiao Lan in terms of traveling, so she is mostly responsible for preparing food for everyone. Originally, she was very worried about drinking water. However, every time she wakes up early in the wilderness, she can always see that there is clear water nearby. She asked Wang Wu, this water was called by Murong Shuo. He's very good at finding water.
But Xiao Gong would never say a word of thanks to him. Because from the time she started on the road to the present, Murong Shuo has hardly said a word to her. Xiao Gong really admires how he does it. There are only a few of us in total, and we always have to take care of each other when we go on the road together. But he's so easy to think of himself as air. Since he doesn't take himself seriously, then why should he care about a word of thanks.
Xiaogong used the prepared water to boil porridge for everyone, cut some dried meat into it, and boiled it for a while, and the fragrant dried meat porridge was ready. There is only one bucket of water, and there is only one pot of porridge. But the prince is responsible for everyone, so this porridge, whether it is the prince or the groom, everyone has a share. Nine people, each bowl poured and was clean.
Xiaogong took advantage of the gap between the porridge and heated dozens of steamed buns, and everyone shared the points together, and they were all full and had the strength to go on the road. Although the crown prince and the crown princess are the masters and have always been pampered, they also have the habit of eating these "coarse grains". The prince was surprised that Luo Zijin was not a picky eater, and Luo Zijin was also surprised that the prince could digest it.
After breakfast, the luggage was reloaded into the car, and everyone was on the road again. Starting in the morning, at the current speed, the prince and the others will definitely arrive in the afternoon. It was not yet dark, so I had more time to prepare my place to stay, so I didn't have to rest too late.
At noon. In order to hurry and arrive early, everyone just stopped for a while and ate some dry food. Didn't get up again to cook.
In the afternoon, as the sun set, the prince and his party finally saw the fields outside the village. It's just, strange thing, this field outside the village of Cognac. At the moment, no one is plowing the fields. Everyone thought that they had encountered the same situation as Qiuli Village, so they couldn't help but slow down, and the coachman also drove the horse, walking slowly and carefully towards the village.
As they began to enter the village, Murong Shuo and Wang Wu dismounted, led by their own, and walked on both sides of the carriage. The further you go into the village, the more wary the royal house becomes. Here, even more than Qiuli Village, people feel that something is wrong. The whole village. There doesn't seem to be a single one. Everyone walked for a long time and didn't see anyone passing.
Wang Wu specially knocked on the doors of a few houses passing by, but no one was there. And most of the doors in the house were not locked, and many steamed buns that had eaten a few bites were thrown on the table, but none of the owners of the house were there. But looking at the abundance of meals on the table, it should be lunch. It seems that the people of this Cognac village are in a hurry.
Reporting what he had seen, the royal house stood beside the carriage. According to his next meaning, he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. After all, for him, the safety of the crown prince and the crown princess is the most important thing. But Mr. Murong hadn't spoken yet. Naturally, he didn't have the right to speak. He respected and admired Mr. , so he could only tell the prince and Mr. everything he had learned. What to do after that. His Royal Highness and Mr. watched the orders together.
"What do you think?" asked the prince as he got out of the car and looked at Murong Shuo. However, although he asked, he actually had the answer in his heart. Luo Zijin knew that the prince had discovered something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"The people in the village are in front. The crowd is excited about who will be put to death. Murong Shuo listened carefully and replied. His internal strength is higher than that of the prince, and when he listens to the content of the people in front of him, he is ready to capture. He was just walking, and there was a certain distance, so he couldn't mobilize his internal force. But when the royal house stopped to find out if there were any people nearby, he had the opportunity to listen to what was going on.
"Is a group of people besieging one person?" asked the Crown Princess.
"That person has been resisting and struggling, although he is injured, but for a while, he can still hold on. Murong Shuo listened again and answered.
"Then, do you know what it's for?" Luo Zijin continued to ask.
No one said anything more, just shouted to catch him. The people in the village were all gathered there, even the children, but there were too many people, and the children were also pushed and cried. Murong Shuo replied.
"How can this work, in order to catch a person, the children who make trouble are not safe, then it is not good. Since we have the ability, we might as well help them catch him first. First, so that the excited villagers would not hurt him, and second, so that the villagers would not also be injured in order to arrest him. Luo Zijin frowned.
Anyway, we have to control this situation first. They can't be left to mess around. Didn't this situation start at noon, and the villagers must have lost their strength. Anyway, sooner or later, you'll have to take care of this matter, and it doesn't make a difference to decide now.
"What Concubine Ai said is very true, let's go over and help. The prince was told by Luo Zijin's words about the matter, and agreed with a smile.
"Yes. As soon as the prince spoke, of course, everyone had nothing to say. The coachman quickened his speed, and soon the prince and the others heard a commotion. For the safety of the crown prince and the crown princess, Wang Wu stopped the car and did not let the car go on. But the people in the car could see what was going on when they lifted the curtain.
When Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan heard the noise, they also lifted the curtain to see the movement outside. Actually, the two of them are also going to come down to serve. But the noise outside is like this, and the two girls, of course, can't get out of the car anymore. Wang Wu and Qiao Zhihan stood guard outside the carriage of the crown prince and princess, while Murong Shuo stood in the middle of the two carriages, watching Xiao Gong's reaction.
His intuition told him that Xiao Gong would definitely do something. She was in the carriage before, and her reaction when she heard them talking outside had already attracted Murong Shuo's attention. Originally, Murong Shuo didn't expect what would happen to her. It's just that she's used to observing and paying attention to her along the way. Murong Shuo paid attention to the movement of the small gong as he spoke. I heard her abnormality.
The small gong shines through the curtain and sees only the chaos outside. They didn't even notice that they were such a conspicuous outsider nearby. It's just that each of them is holding a hoe, a rake, a spatula, or something, and is chasing a man with half an iron chain tied to his body. (To be continued.) )
