Chapter 133: Kindness
Yu Shenyuan followed a few guards and escorted He Rong all the way to Linchuan City, the border city of Zhao State. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, after receiving the news from the flying pigeon, Tang Xuexu, the princess of Yan Kingdom, waited at the head of the city, looking at the official road outside the city with anxiety and expectation in her eyes.
The cold wind swept over the city, stirring her robe and hair to fly in the wind, but her whole mind was on the official road, where could she care about the cold and messy hair.
From the first rays of the morning sun, I stood until dusk, watching the carriages coming from a distance with anticipation, but in the end, I was disappointed again and again.
The sky gradually darkened, usually at this time, the city gate should have been closed a long time ago, but today is different, because she is here, so the generals who gathered under the city head to defend the city have to accompany her, from sunrise to sunset.
Seeing that night was about to fall, Tang Xuexu's heart had already frozen into a piece of ice in the cold wind, but when she saw that on the horizon, a carriage finally drove over quickly.
Her anticipation was raised again, and her heart rose to her throat, looking at the approaching carriage, and the dozens of light riders around it, and her intuition told her that this time it must be.
Therefore, almost before the carriage approached, let alone the appearance of the carriage, Tang Xuexu had already pushed away the guards behind him and ran straight down from the city.
When she got out of the city and walked out of the city gate, she had only taken dozens of steps, and the carriage had stopped three feet in front of her.
Tang Xuexu subconsciously stopped, looked up, and saw that the sapphire blue carriage was curtained, and then, a person came down, the person was dressed in a dark robe, wrapped in a snow-colored fox fur, the placket was half open, revealing a touch of jade on his chest, stunning and enchanting, and before he got out of the carriage, he had already raised his eyes to her and smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess is still so anxious." ”
The voice is soft, with a play, but the timbre seems to be wrapped in honey, with a suffocating charm.
Moreover, this smile is like a mandala on the shore of Sansheng Lake, and the purple and red are all robbed of its brilliance, and the guards above and below the city gate see this scene and see this person, only feeling dazzled and dizzy.
However, Tang Xuexu's gaze swept over him, looked at the carriage behind him, and saw that it was empty, she couldn't help but show a little disappointment on her face, and then looked back at Yu Shenyuan and said, "Didn't you send a message to say that he was also back?"
Yu Shenyuan stepped out of the carriage, still with a vague smile on his face, as if he didn't care about being ignored by her like this, just raised his hand and pointed behind her.
With the movement of his raised hand, Tang Xuexu looked over, only to find that behind the carriage, there was also a carriage.
At the sight of the carriage, she was overjoyed, and was about to rush forward on tiptoe, but she had only taken a step or two, and felt that it was too unreserved, so she immediately took her steps, stood aside, and waited for the people in the carriage to come down.
However, after waiting and waiting, she didn't see the person she intended to walk down from the carriage with thousands of graces as before, Tang Xuexu finally noticed that something was wrong, she raised her eyes, and cast a puzzled gaze on Yu Shenyuan.
Yu Shenyuan shrugged his shoulders, and was unwilling to say anything more about this.
Tang Xuexu had to approach by herself, in front of the carriage, when the guard who was driving opened the curtain, and saw the person with a pale face who was faintly unconscious and sleeping, she gasped in shock, and then didn't care about any image, stepped into the carriage in two steps, raised her hand and shook He Rong's arm: "San Lang?
After being shaken by her for a while, He Rongcai, who was in a coma, finally moved his face, opened a gap, and the moment he saw Tang Xuexu, a trace of unclear emotion crossed the depths of his eyes, and he whispered: "It's you." ”
"It's me! It's me!" Tang Xuexu cried like a tearful person, extremely aggrieved and sad, and kept saying: "San Lang, what's wrong with you? Who made you like this?" San Lang?"
He Rong moved his eyes, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he raised his hand, gently stroked Tang Xuexu's hand holding him, and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, you can be quiet, let me have a good rest." ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes, Tang Xuexu shook his arm, and wanted to say something, but the maid who was driving the car had already raised her hand and was about to invite her out: "Your Royal Highness Princess, our king is seriously injured and urgently needs to recuperate, you will only aggravate his injury." ”
Hearing this, Tang Xue Xue finally stopped moving, she gently put down He Rong's hand, stepped out of the carriage, and turned her head to look at Yu Shenyuan at this time, her eyes that were still stained with tears were full of accusation and anger: "Didn't you promise the palace that you would guarantee his safety?"
Yu Shenyuan had already sat back in the carriage that turned around, he was sitting against the door frame of the carriage, his posture was as lazy as a fox, and in the face of Tang Xuexu's accusation, he didn't see him raise his eyebrows, but said lightly: "Isn't King Zhao safe now?"
"Safe?" Tang Xue took a few steps forward, grabbed Yu Shenyuan's sleeve, and didn't care about the eyes of so many soldiers and guards present, and scolded angrily: "You told the palace that he was safe?
After being grabbed by Tang Xuexue's sleeve, Yu Shenyuan finally retracted his usual laziness, he opened his narrow Danfeng eyes, glanced at Tang Xuexu lightly, and at the same time raised his other hand, and with a slight force, he pushed her hand holding the corner of his clothes to the side, and at the same time said to her who staggered back two steps because of his strength: "I only promise Her Royal Highness the princess that you can marry into the palace of King Zhao smoothly, as for King Zhao, he is now worry-free, how can I break my word?"
"Yu Shenyuan!" Obviously dissatisfied with his attitude, Tang Xue Xue barely stood firm, her pretty face was flushed, and she almost roared angrily: "Don't forget what your identity is! And this palace is the most noble princess of Yan Kingdom, and you must obey the orders of this palace!"
Hearing this, Yu Shenyuan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he couldn't stop laughing, and with the rise and fall of his chest, the already half-open dark placket expanded the jade color on his chest by a few points, and even a red plum in the hazy jade color was faintly visible.
Tang Xuexu became more and more annoyed by his inexplicable smile, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "What are you laughing at!"
He laughed, laughed enough, laughed tired, and then said to Tang Xuexu, who was already angry: "I laugh at Her Royal Highness the princess is not only simple-minded, but also very ignorant, in your eyes, I am afraid that there is only He Rong alone, and you can't even see the situation of this Yan country, where the wind is blowing?"
What he said, how could Tang Xuexu not know that his father had been set aside by Yu Shenyuan, but he was just a puppet emperor, and now the whole Yan Kingdom had to act according to his jade appearance, but he had always been obedient to his words and responsive, so just now she was angry from the bottom of her heart, and she completely forgot that he was now a figure in the Yan Kingdom who covered the sky with one hand.
Without waiting for Tang Xuexu to say anything, Yu Shenyuan had already restrained the smile on his face, raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, his tone was no longer as soft as before, this time, with a little coolness, he said: "The kindness I once owed to Her Royal Highness the princess has been fully repaid now, and now Her Royal Highness the princess has returned to China, just be honest and get married, from now on, no matter what moths there are, I won't care anymore, I hope the princess will do it herself." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to the coachman beside him.
The coachman whipped his whip and drove the carriage slowly.
Yu Shenyuan, raised his hand to open the curtain, and was about to return to the car, when he passed by He Rong's carriage, his eyes swept over the curtain, and then he glanced back at Tang Xuexu, and said lightly: "There will be no next time." ”
With that, he went back to the car and let the coachman whip up and speed away.
And his last sentence made the others present listen to it like a cloud, was it said to Zhao Wang He Rong, or to Tang Xuexu?
After Yu Shenyuan's carriage left for a long time, Tang Xuexu came back to her senses in the cold wind, and couldn't help but recite the words that Yu Shenyuan had just said in her mouth-The kindness I once owed to Her Royal Highness the princess has now been fully repaid.
It turned out that even she couldn't figure it out that he had always been obedient to her words and responsiveness, out of the kindness she had for him? However, Tang Xuexu racked her brains and couldn't imagine when she had any kindness to Yu Shenyuan.
However, she lost her mind for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, all her thoughts were on the carriage in front of her.
************
Chu Yunsheng and his entourage rushed for two days and two nights in a row, and finally arrived at the border between Chu and Weiguo, Yongding County.
After passing this county, it is the boundary monument of the two countries, and the defense of the country is in sight.
I wanted to continue to drive with the stars and the moon, but Mo said that the horses couldn't bear it, and Chunxiao's weak body couldn't bear it.
Therefore, when passing through the county seat of Yongding County, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yunsheng immediately decided to go to the county seat to find an inn to rest for a night, and set off tomorrow.
However, as the only county town within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the junction of the two countries, the inn in the city has long been full of traders and knights who travel between the two countries.
After the room was booked and cleaned up, it was already dinner time, and this inn was shabby, with no private rooms for dinner, let alone delivery to the room, so Chu Yunsheng had to take Chunxiao to the lobby.
Mu Xuanshen is haunted, these days, even if it is time to eat, he may not be able to find someone, so Chu Yunsheng let him go, and as for Dumb, since she was mischievously touched by her mask that night, this child has never looked at her directly, and when the shopkeeper brought a plate of steamed buns, he quickly followed the two, turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the lobby.
Fortunately, it was the peak time for dinner, so the lobby was full of people and hustle and bustle, and no one cared about such a flash of lightning.
Chu Yunsheng and Chunxiao glanced at each other tacitly, then smiled and lowered their heads to drink porridge.
In order to facilitate travel and not attract unnecessary trouble, she and Chunxiao are both wearing men's clothes, wrapped in thick cotton jackets, as long as they don't speak, judging from their figures, they are not easy to be found.
Chu Yunsheng was drinking porridge while pricking up his ears to listen to the diners around him talking about the situation in the world.
The tables were noisy and talked about different topics.
Some people say that the disappearance of Princess Weiguo is suspected to be the handiwork of He Ming, the former prince of Zhao State.
Some people say that the king of Chu is seriously ill, but Su Jingxuan, the grandson of the emperor, who is the heir to the throne, has disappeared, and the princes of Chu are eyeing each other, but they are afraid that it will not be far from civil strife.
Some people say that since the third prince of Zhao has inherited the throne, wouldn't the little princess of Yan Kingdom, who had been engaged to him before, be a natural successor?
Even, some people say that this third prince of Zhao is also a poor person, and he was actually married to that demon princess by the first king of Zhao before, which shows that he is blessed by God and the person who is destined to return to him, and he can get rid of all evils.
……
All the voices were noisy and rang out in every corner of the lobby. Because it is the junction of the two countries and is located on the border, the control here is not as strict as elsewhere, for the ranger swordsman and those gossiping and good deeds, it is simply an excellent display platform, everyone spares no effort not to be afraid of wasting spitting stars, and those gossip news, through their own subjective speculation, and then say it categorically.
No one ever cared about the consequences of such remarks and the harm they would cause to some people, they just made an impassioned voice and did their best to say it.
However, Chu Yunsheng has long been accustomed to these, but Chunxiao beside her can't listen to it anymore, she put down her chopsticks, looked at Chu Yunsheng with a distressed face, and was about to pull her back to the room.
Since knowing Chu Yunsheng's life experience and hearing these words again, for Chunxiao, she only felt surprisingly angry, how could these people hurt her girl so badly.
Chu Yunsheng shook her head at her, signaling that it was okay, she picked up Chunxiao's chopsticks, continued to put them back in Chunxiao's hand, and said softly: "Your body is too weak, come, eat obediently." ”
Chunxiao's eyes were already red with anger, and when she saw Chu Yunsheng treating her like this at this time, she felt even more aggrieved, opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a voice floating not far away that was completely discordant with this noisy lobby.
"Uncle, please, do well, reward a white steamed bun, my brother hasn't eaten for three days. ”
The voice is immature, but with incomparable firmness.
Chu Yunsheng and Chunxiao were almost at the same time, looking up and following the prestige.
I saw a child who seemed to crawl out of the mud, thinly dressed, unkempt, only the eyes were exceptionally bright, at this time she was kneeling at the feet of several chivalrous guests near the door, begging: "A steamed bun is good, really, I ......"
"Get out of here!"
However, before she could finish speaking, the knight who was talking with people in a hat was impatient and kicked the child in the chest.
A child who is about ten years old, his figure is as thin as a piece of paper crumbling in the cold wind, where can he withstand the kick of this martial arts practitioner, Chu Yunsheng's eyes widened, and he looked at the child like a rag, kicked out by the knight!
One of her hearts was also tightly tangled in one place.
