Chapter 226: Portrait

The second prince raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Xiaohua suspiciously. But then, he sighed again and said helplessly: "It's the prince." ”

"Oh?" Xiaohua exclaimed, an answer he never expected. He thought that the second prince would say something he had never heard of, or just skip it. But he was wrong, and the second prince said an extremely terrifying name.

If the second prince said that it was his fourth brother, he could still accept it, but the second prince. Xiaohua hesitated, he was a little undecided, and his heart kept churning one thought after another.

The second prince also smiled bitterly, then waved his hand and said, "I'm joking, I don't know who betrayed me." ”

Xiaohua didn't listen to a word, he was still thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince. He has a lot of contact with the prince, and the other party is also very reasonable to him, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a person who will betray his brother. But having said that, Xiaohua does feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little too attentive, the so-called courteous for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. Xiaohua still knows this truth.

It is said that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, Xiaohua doesn't know. Maybe the other party is secretly calculating himself, maybe he can't have the heart of harming others, and he can't have the heart of guarding against others!

Xiaohua shook her head, shook off all the thoughts in her head, and asked, "Where are you going next?"

The second prince pondered for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Beiliang can't go back for the time being, they should have gathered a large number of soldiers at the border." ”

"Oh. Xiaohua nodded, and then said to the bearded man, "Where are we going next?"

"Then head south. The bearded man responded.

"Are you going south?" the second prince's face was even more surprised, as if he had heard something terrible.

"What, do you want to be together?" Xiaohua quipped, and he didn't expect this so-called second prince to come along.

"Yes. The second prince nodded surprisingly and agreed.

"Are you sure?" Xiaohua looked suspicious, "This road is full of dangers!"

"Anyway, I can't force my way across the border now, so I might as well go with you. The second prince's tone was firm, and he couldn't say anything about it.

Xiaohua is a little difficult to do now, he just said casually, who would have thought that the other party would take it seriously. To be honest, it was enough for him to bring a Wu Zheng, and now there is another second prince.

"Why, isn't it possible?" Seeing that Xiaohua didn't respond to him, the second prince couldn't help but ask.

"It's done, why not. "Xiaohua is embarrassed, when it comes to this, then agree.

The second prince grinned, "Call me Mo Qing in the future." ”

"Mo Qing. Xiaohua muttered two sentences out loud, and then began to introduce: "This is a bearded man." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the bearded man. The bearded man doesn't care much about this nickname, on the contrary, he seems to like it very much, brushing his beard.

Then, Xiaohua pointed in the direction of Wu Zheng and said, "That product is Wu Zheng." ”

Wu Zheng was still carrying his body on the side, constantly weighing the weight of the broken silver with his hands. From time to time, he would put it in his mouth and bite it with his teeth to test the authenticity of the silver. He also felt a little regretful and felt sorry for the corpses that had not been searched through. Hear Xiaohua say

When he arrived, he was busy smiling like a flower and beckoning to the second prince.

Then the four of them began their long journey. They didn't have a map, but the bearded man already had the route in his head. They decided to take a long detour, because if they took a shortcut, they would definitely reach Nanyao's capital, which was a very dangerous thing.

In fact, if the second prince was not there, they could still take a risk, but with Mo Qing's joining, their danger would undoubtedly increase. And this is also the reason why Xiaohua doesn't want the other party to join. But Mo Qing seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, and Xiaohua felt that even if he didn't mention it, the other party would offer to join in. After all, with his guilt, he can only survive at this time by following a more powerful backer. And the three of Xiaohua just meet this condition. So, considering that there was a hidden danger in carrying around, the four of Xiaohua finally chose the insurance plan and detoured.

The sky was bright, and when the sun shone down, the four of them finally arrived at the next town. Compared to the towns of Beiliang, the towns here appear to be smaller. But without exception, there is a tall castle tower.

"Yanlong County. Wu Zheng raised his head and pointed to the words on the city gate, and read it out loud.

Xiaohua looked at the guards at the city gate, and said lightly: "Let's find a place to rest first, the news of our breaking the city should not have come at this moment." ”

Then, the four of them swaggered into the city. Mo Qing always held the long sword all the way, but this made Xiaohua's brows furrow. Although the news of their destruction of the city has not yet come, the news that Mo Qing has a sword in his hand may have spread, and he is holding it in his hand like this, no matter how he looks at it, it is a bit swaggering, as if to say: "I am the second prince, I have a sword in my hand." ”

When a few people arrived at the inn, Xiaohua threw a silver ticket at the shopkeeper. As a child who grew up in a businessman's family since he was a child, he naturally knows the role of money. According to general experience, these shopkeepers will inquire about the information of the guests, intentionally or unintentionally. And what Xiaohua has to do is just pay money to shut up the other party. Of course, it would be better if you could find out the news.

Bearded and Wu Zheng went out shopping, Bearded was voluntary, and he was eager to buy a few horses. Xiaohua also doesn't understand why the bearded man has a soft spot for horses, probably because of the habit he developed in the barracks.

As for Wu Zheng, he couldn't walk when he saw the bed, so he subconsciously wanted to fall on it and sleep well. But unfortunately, he was dragged away by the beard. The bearded man was actually going to pull Xiaohua there, but when he heard that Wu Zheng had also been a soldier, he immediately changed his mind.

As a result, only Xiaohua and Mo Qing were left in the room. Xiaohua was the first to speak: "You still don't have to keep your sword in your hand." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Qing's eyes, he glanced at Xiaohua vigilantly, at this moment his spiritual power had recovered, and it would not be so easy if Xiaohua wanted to snatch it.

Xiaohua only glanced at the other party's alert appearance and knew what was going on. So he hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, this son is not interested in your sword." ”

Hearing this, Mo Qing breathed a sigh of relief and retracted the momentum just now.

Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder Luochen often kept his sword on his back, it turned out that he was afraid of being snatched away! He took a breath and spoke again: "I mean you should wrap your sword."

, which is at least less susceptible to suspicion. ”

Mo Qing nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't say anything more.

On the side of the bearded man and Wu Zheng, the two of them had already started to wander around on the street. After the bearded man learned about Wu Zheng's life experience, he began to talk: "You grew up in the military camp when you were a child?"

"Yes. Wu Zheng nodded.

"Have you ever fought?" the bearded man became interested and became out of control.

"I haven't hit it. Wu Zheng had already been numb by the question, he dragged his tired body, his eyelids lifted weakly, and fell heavily. He was sleepy, and he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

But the bearded man still refused to let go of Wu Zheng, and still asked, "No wonder you are so greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"What?" Wu Zheng's head buzzed, and he felt like he had been poked in the back.

The bearded man patted the other party's shoulder and grinned, "Let me tell you, there is nothing to be afraid of in this war, it is a big deal to die." ”

But at this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped on the street, and immediately there was a soldier in broken armor, who kept shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, report urgently." ”

When Wu Zheng heard this, he immediately thought of their destruction of the city last night. Of course, Wu Zheng did not break the city, mainly because of the beard. Thinking like this, he was quick to be clever, and said that the news was too fast.

As for the bearded man, he focused on the fast horse, and muttered, "Good horse, what a good horse!"

After that, the bearded man and Wu Zheng quickened their pace, after all, staying for a moment longer would be more dangerous, and if this county town was also sealed, it would be bad. Naturally, it's not that the four flowers are bad, but that those soldiers are going to be cut off by the beard again.

After a little inquiry, Wu Zheng and the two found a merchant who sold horses. However, these horses, the bearded man did not look very well, and shook his head vigorously. The horses were all lean, and they all looked weak. In fact, it is no wonder, after all, people are merchants, as long as the horses do not starve to death, if they are fed good feed all day, they will not be profitable.

In the end, Wu Zheng picked four horses, the largest of the herd. But even so, the bearded man was not very satisfied, and on the way back, he was still nagging: "Just these few horses, I am afraid of being crushed to death when I go up, and I can't help but look weak." ”

Wu Zheng didn't dwell on it much, he just wanted to sleep beautifully at the moment. But when the two of them were on the way back, they saw a terrible scene.

They saw that in the streets, there were soldiers constantly posting and distributing a portrait of a man. Wu Zheng was curious, just like ordinary people, he also came up to see it. It didn't matter, but he was almost frightened and fell over. Because he clearly saw that the picture on the notice was Mo Qing's face.

Although the painting is not so similar, it can still be seen at a glance that it is the appearance of the second prince Mo Qing. This is broken, when I entered the inn before, the shopkeeper saw it clearly. And now, the streets are plastered with this portrait again, no, they have to go back quickly.

The bearded man also realized the nature of the problem, he reacted faster than Wu Zheng, and he had already turned over and ran away.

Wu Zheng looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and then looked at the remaining three horses, damn, he couldn't help but scold, is this a challenge for one person to ride three horses?
