Chapter 69: Escape
If you judge people purely by their appearance, looking at this "True Monarch of the Realm", he is really a ninety-nine Dao Bone Immortal Style, but he didn't expect that after being politely rejected, the first thing he thought of would be the issue of money, which was really unexpected by Wei Ji.
But then she thought about it, if she wanted to pretend to be someone, she would definitely disguise herself as greedy for money or good ~ in order to match her identity......
All in all, this guy is not a good thing, thinking of this, Wei Yupi smiled and said: "Yesterday I waited for Zhenjun's business for a whole day, with Zhenjun's ability, it is not a mere gold leaf can be offset, since Zhenjun doesn't care about us, if we have to make inches, then I don't know how to lift." β
Hearing her say this, the joy overflowed from his voice: "With the benefactor's intentions, we are considered two clear?"
The situation is not entangled, and Wei Jian is also relaxed, after making it clear, he will go to support his fraud stall when he is full of food and drink, and she will continue to look for her strange future.
The group settled breakfast, Wei Ji went to settle the bill, but when he turned around, he found that Jing Wei's position was empty, she didn't even pay attention to when he left, and the bartender who happened to be more familiar with them walked over from that position, Wei Jia asked him casually: "Little brother, when did that guest leave?"
The bartender was stunned for a moment: "Which guest?"
Wei Jian was also stunned, and stretched out his hand to the place where Jing Wei was sitting before: "Is that the guest who sat there before, wearing a hat?"
The bartender looked at the guard with a very strange look: "Guest officer, that position has been empty since I was a child. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice: "Besides, it's not dawn, how can anyone wear a hat to eat?"
"I talked to him when I came in before. β
The bartender shook his head and said, "After the guest officers came in from the backyard, they ordered food directly, and they didn't talk to anyone!"
"Did you not notice that you were busy in the back?"
The bartender stiffened his neck and said: "You are such a large group of people, it is impossible not to attract attention wherever you go, not to mention that since you have entered the store, you have been served by the small ones, how can the small ones not pay attention?"
Wei Jia saw that the bartender's posture did not look like lying, and let him go to work, but she still did not believe in evil, and turned back to the shopkeeper, but received the same reply, and returned to her seat in confusion.
Zu Que noticed the abnormality and asked, "Lang Jun, what happened?"
The guard pointed to the position, "Have any of you noticed when that realm left?"
Zu Ke followed Wei Jia's line of sight, turned his head stiffly a little bit, and only turned back after a while, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Lang Jun, I haven't seen the crossing at all." β
Wei Jian raised his eyebrows: "He sat there before and waved at us and shouted 'this way', and I gave you a look and asked you to wait for me in place." β
Zu Kuo, Qiao Chu and the others glanced at each other, and shook their heads in unison: "No, absolutely not." β
Wei Jian frowned and turned to Pei Rang: "Brother, haven't you noticed it either?"
Pei Rang withdrew his gaze from staring at the vacant seat, tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems to be ...... A little impressed. β
Wei Jian thought for a moment and decisively decided: "Forget it, let's go." β
Zu Que hesitated: "That realm ......"
Wei Jia said: "It's already clear. Raise your hand and rub your temples: "If you really have to go with such a master, it will be more troublesome!"
The group walked out of the inn, and the sky was already white.
There is also a restaurant next to the inn, with a large open-air stove outside the door, a steamer several stories high on the stove, and a shed next to it, and a cage drawer is placed on the board under the shed, and the cage drawer is just out of the pot, hot buns.
Mo Song, who was wide in heart and fat behind Qiao Chu, touched his bulging stomach and thought for a while: "Let's buy some food on the road!"
The miscellaneous troops under the garrison looked sideways, Qiao Chu smiled awkwardly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Eat, eat, eat, you know what to eat, and you still want to eat when you are fat." I couldn't bear it anymore to Shang Mosong's aggrieved expression, but the tone was still the same stern: "Go and come back quickly." β
Mo Song, who had been ordered, ran over, but no one answered for a long time, thinking that he couldn't delay, so he did it himself, although he didn't ask others if they wanted to eat, but he was in line with the concept of being blessed and enjoying the meal and everyone was full, and packed the whole drawer of buns one by one.
Wen Zhu and Yanmei saw that he was busy working alone, so they also went over to help.
There are so many of them, where is there enough for a drawer of buns, and they shouted a few more times, but still no one answered, Wen Zhu and Yanmei saw that the big lid on the steamer had been lifted, and knew that the buns were ready, so they did it themselves and lifted down two cage drawers.
They are all from poor backgrounds, and they know that it is not easy to make a living, although no one guards the stalls, they will not be greedy for this ill-gotten gain, leaving enough money to press under the cage drawer, and one person returns to the team with a dozen or so buns, and then subcontracts one by one.
Wei Yan's hand was naturally stuffed with a shoehorn, she was carrying a bun, but she looked at the empty stall and was distracted.
Zu Que led the horse over, handed the reins of the snow to the guard, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The horse boy in this inn is too lazy, and he ran away after adding half a trough of forage." β
The guard took the reins, squinted, and said, "Don't you think that this street is too deserted?"
Zu Kewen looked at the street: "Don't they all have the habit of getting up early?" After muttering, he immediately denied this possibility: "There are obviously a lot of people in the Fangcai Inn!"
Wei Fei got on his horse: "Since we stepped out of the inn, this place has given me a different feeling than before, anyway, we are about to leave soon, if there is any problem, let's study it slowly when we have time when we come back." β
Everyone agreed very much and got on the horse one after another.
The day was getting brighter, but they couldn't see even a few feet awayβfor it was foggy, and it was very foggy, and it was white as far as the eye could see.
The wide streets were deserted, as if they had inadvertently broken into an empty city, and they had been running for nearly two hours, and before they could see the city gate, the guards running at the front slowed down their horses until they came to a complete stop, dismounted, and turned out of Sima to find their way.
Pei Rang and Zu Cu, who had been following her closely, also dismounted, and the three of them got together, and Wei Ji stared at Sinan and said: "In my impression, the street we are on should be in a north-south direction, but you see, there is a contradiction between the direction of the street and the direction of Sinan." β
Qiao Chu also came over: "This city is not big, with our speed, it can be completed in two quarters of an hour at most, but it has been walking for so long now......" looked up at the sky: "It stands to reason that at this hour, the fog should have dispersed a long time ago, but this fog not only has the meaning of dispersing, it seems to be thicker!"
Wei Jian looked up at the road ahead, and was thinking about whether to turn back, when she suddenly heard a sound of tuk tuk that seemed to be nothing, and she looked at everyone in surprise: "Did you hear anything?"
Everyone was at a loss.
The garrison gave Sinan to Pei Rang, made a gesture to silence everyone, and then fell to the ground and listened carefully, making sure that she really heard correctly, how could it not be exciting to run wild in an empty and quiet town for so long, and finally heard the sound of people or things other than them?
As soon as he stood up, he heard the rhythmic jingle of the bell again, and the guard looked at everyone again: "Did you hear anything this time?"
Everyone nodded again and again: "There seems to be a bell." After a while, Qiao Chu added: "There is also the sound of horses' hooves." β
Everyone stood on the side of the road, followed the prestige, it was the sound of horses' hooves first, and then there was the sound of bells, but I didn't expect that the first to break through the dense fog appeared not on horseback, but on foot, fixed eyes and then looked, wearing a hat, carrying a bamboo pipe, it was the strange situation, "jingling" sound was from the bell hanging under the bamboo pipe behind him.
The corners of Wei Ji's mouth twitched, she understood this time, and asked the people beside her first: "Did you see the guy wearing the hat this time?"
Everyone nodded again: "I saw it, I saw it!"
The surrounding qiΔ is chaotic white, only he is colorful, with the crisp sound of "jingle bell, jingle bell-", leisurely walking on this strange street, there is a different kind of romance, but in the eyes of the guard, but do not feel how pleasing to the eye, but feel creepy, can't help but murmur: "It's not a person!"
Hesitating, the realm has arrived in front of the guard, and he saluted: "Win people's money, eliminate disasters with people, poor Dao received the money of the kings, but did nothing, for the truth is ashamed, fortunately the kings did not go far, and are still waiting here for the poor road." β
Wei Ji took a deep breath, and after slowly feeling emotional, he actually smiled: "Zhenjun told me last night that we can reach that nameless mountain range before dark tonight, but at this moment, we haven't β‘β‘ walked out yet, if you trouble Zhenjun now, dare to ask, when will I arrive?"
Jing Wei didn't want to think about it: "Before dark!"
Zu Que came over: "Lang Jun......"
Wei Yan didn't look back, raised his hand to restrain his words, and after a little consideration, he smiled: "Then please Zhenjun!"
Jing Wei smiled and said, "It's easy to say." β
As soon as the words fell, they saw the two riding through the thick fog and coming straight towards them.
Wei Ji squinted his eyes, and Qiao Chu beside him cheered: "It's Your Highness." β
Her eyes were on him, it was indeed Sima Run, although it was difficult to hide the dust, but the smile was particularly piercing - the reborn guard learned from the pain and summed up a set of experience, once that thing smiled too gently and brightly, it must be a precursor to uneasiness and kindness, every time this happens, she will suffer, so now to see him laughing like this, how can she not feel dazzling?
"Song, I've kept you waiting!" he said as he jumped off his horse and jumped in front of her, unable to hide his excitement.
Wei Ji looked at him coldly, although it was indispensable to guard against him, but this was not the time to care about this, as a military general, her habitual thinking made her think first: "Your Highness is General Pingxi, who left his post without permission, once the Qiang people come to commit it, the dragons in the army will be leaderless, and the military plane will be delayed, who should bear this crime?"
What does his head move have to do with her? The key is that as the main general, he escaped from the battle, in case the Qiang people took the opportunity to make trouble and make them defeated, then the saint would be held accountable, even if she rescued her father, but in terms of punishment for crimes, the main reason was that her father, who was the captain of the Qiang Guard, did not return on time, and at such a critical juncture, her father's Sima and Changshi also ran away one after another, which made "no experience" Sima Run came to replace her, and the main responsibility was still on her father's head, so Sima Run could not be defeated, once defeated, their Wei family would be distributed lightly, and the head would be killed......
"Don't worry, it's okay over there. He said with a smile.
Since the vixen who has lived for two lifetimes said this, the problem of the Qiang people is the real end, but it is so easy to solve...... Wei Jian squinted at him, and couldn't help but ask, "When did Your Highness learn about the disappearance of your father?"
Sima Run was calm: "A few days earlier than Lingtang." β
His calmness surprised Wei Ji, but she grabbed the handle and asked, "Where does Your Highness know?"
Sima Run said of course: "The Wei family has a great friendship with my Langya Palace, in recent years, Xiqiang has made frequent moves, and Ling Zun is the captain of the Qiang Guard, this king will pay more attention, so he will learn the news of Ling Zun's disappearance in the shortest possible time." β
In his previous life, Sima Run secretly organized a news network in all directions, and he was definitely a veteran of cutting wheels in this regard, and he was not familiar with weaving a news network in this life, so his answer also made sense, but she asked casually: "Since you received the news early in the morning, why don't you tell us?"
He sighed: "I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you." β
Sima Run's intimate words have always been better than singing......
Later, Qiao Chu introduced Sima Run to Jing Jing.
Liang, who came with Sima Run, greeted Wei Jian with a flattering face: "Young master......" She pretended to be a teenager, so naturally he couldn't call her a "girl" in front of everyone.
Wei Ji said coldly: "Don't dare!" raised his chin and rushed at Sima Runnunu: "Where is your master!"
Liang Chai scratched his messy hair like a bird's nest, and said with a smile: "It's the sameβit's all the same!"
Wei Jia rolled his eyes and prepared to hit the road.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zhu came over with a stinky smell, and the mysterious seller sought glory: "Young master, let me tell you, don't look at His Royal Highness, it is clean and refreshing at this time, in fact, it was no different from the villain before, and he passed by a river yesterday morning, and he deliberately picked it up~ and jumped in to wash it." As he spoke, he shivered, and said, "I'll try it with my hands, and then look at His Highness, and I will get goosebumps for him!"
Wei Ji snorted coldly: "Oh, your master is staring at you!"
Liang Zhusheng turned his head and was startled, he really jumped up, and jumped high: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you listen to your subordinates' explanations, Your Highness ......"
The garrison had already mounted his horse and looked back at the realm: "There are no good horses here, so I wronged Zhenjun and I took turns to ride." Then he looked at the bamboo pipe behind him: "The two of them ride together, and Zhenjun is afraid that it will be inconvenient to carry the bamboo pipe, so it is better to take it off and carry it for Zhenjun below." β
Jing Jing rejected her: "It's not heavy, and it's not in the way of the poor road." β
Sima Run looked at Jing Wei and then at Wei Zhen, and said with a smile: "It's better to be like this, this king's mount is let Yu Zhenjun, anyway, the Wei family Xiaolang is thin and thin, not much weight, this king is also quite slender, and Xiaolang's mount is the best here, it is not a problem to carry the two of them at all, this king will ride with Xiaolang!"
