Chapter 168: Fascinated
At dawn in early June, Zhou Rong's convoy arrived at Qingxi Pass in the western border of Wuyue.
The territory of the Tang State was several times that of Wu Yue. Wuyue bordered the Tang State to the north and west. Because there is a Lying Silkworm Mountain Range in the north of Wuyue, it is like a natural barrier and has become the border between the two countries. The fortress of Pingchuan to the west of Wuyue naturally became a fortress between the two countries. The border between the two countries is actually just a small river that is a few feet wide. The small river originates from the foothills of the Lying Silkworm Mountain, flows from north to south, and stretches to the sea, distinguishing the territory of the Tang Kingdom and Wuyue. On the side of the Tang Kingdom, there was mostly wasteland, and Wu Yue built a high border tower. Wu Yue merchants were popular, and merchants from other countries from this pass were in an endless stream all year round.
According to the plan, Zhou Rong and Tang Jinyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, met at a post station five miles away from Qingxi Pass.
At noon tomorrow, King Wu Yue will welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Dazhou at Qingxi Pass, so there are twice as many soldiers guarding the pass as in the past.
The guards who got up in the morning were routinely inspected and then released from the convoy.
The silk merchants who had been following the caravan along the way also followed the caravan out of the pass.
Out of the city gate is a wide suspension bridge.
After crossing the suspension bridge and walking for a while, Baili Wei rode his horse to follow the big car that Zhou Rong was riding, and said in a very low voice: "There are two big cars on the Lord that follow us all the way, and they are still following us from afar at this moment." ”
At this time, the morning light was getting brighter, Zhou Rong raised his hand and lifted the corner of the car curtain to look at Bailiwei and said with a smile: "This is the official road out of Wu Yue, we can go, but people can't go?"
Bailiwei squinted his eyes and said, "The subordinates just think it's strange, they always follow not far along the way." Let's stop, they stop. Let's go, let's go, it's not a serious caravan at a glance!"
"Oops!" Zhou Ziyi also pulled up a corner of the curtain: "If they are caught between the front and back, our situation will be even more dangerous! The lush greenery of the summer day, especially the rich trees, obscures the view and makes it impossible to see far.
Bailiwei glanced at Zhou Ziyi: "You still need to say it!"
"Enough!" Zhou Rong said in a deep voice: "I'll be at the post station soon." ”
"Lord!" Bai Liwei continued: "Tang Shilang is a civil official in the end, even if he is followed, he will not be able to detect it!"
This time, Zhou Ziyi gave Bailiwei a big look: "That's His Royal Highness the Prince's Xingluan, and the level of any military general is higher than you!" At this moment, when he heard him talk about it, the official couldn't help but mock: "According to the regulations." You're just a fifth-grade official, and you can only show off in front of me. When I see the general, I see that you are still majestic!"
"Hmph!" Bailiwei snorted coldly, ignored Zhou Ziyi, and slowly pulled the horse. Keep a distance from Zhou Rong's car.
The convoy moved in an orderly manner.
It didn't take a while. The convoy entered the dense forest area. Although the official road is wide, it is still obscured by the towering trees.
Bailiwei cheered up and stared at the car that Zhou Rong was riding.
Sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves hits the cart. It's like a spot of light of different shapes.
Bailiwei was staring at the intersection in front of him in a daze, only to see a flash of white light, one person and one sword, flying towards the big car that Zhou Rong was riding.
Bailiwei secretly said that it was not good, he kicked on his toes, flew up, and at the same time shot out with a sleeve arrow towards the white shadow.
When it was too late, the white shadow dodged Bailiwei's sleeve arrow in the air, and its figure sank on the wheel of Zhou Rong's big car.
At this time, Baili Wei and the dark guard had already surrounded the people in white.
The man in white was holding a soft sword, covered with white veil, and his eyes were like cold stars. The man in white looked at the guards around him, and suddenly smiled: "General Baili's reaction is really good! With you, my prince's brother is really worry-free." "The voice is tactful and clear.
Bailiwei stretched out his hand to signal the dark guard to retreat, and arched his hand to the man in white: "I have seen the county lord of Longwu!, why did you appear here?"
"What's the matter with you!" The county lord of Longwu turned to the car and said coquettishly: "Brother Prince, won't you let Ruoxue enter?"
"Come in!" a cold voice came out, "Keep going!"
The county lord of Longwu stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car door and entered the car.
As the curtain was lowered, the inside of the car darkened.
Zhou Rong didn't look at the county lord of Longwu either, but said coldly: "Why are you here?"
"I'll pick up the prince's brother for Lord Tang!" Guo Ruoxue stretched out her hand and took off her veil, and made a big grimace at Zhou Rong: "By the way, take care of you for Sister Wenqian! You have been gone for more than half a year, you don't know how Sister Wenqian's life is live!"
Zhou Ziyi raised his eyebrows and received: "When did the county lord of Longwu start to be a matchmaker? How old are you? You know the red line for others? Didn't our Royal Highness already make it clear to Han Wenqian." ”
"Hmph!" Guo Ruoxue pursed her red lips and looked at Zhou Rong and said: "Brother Prince, I only tell you! You can tell me, what's wrong with Sister Wenqian!
Zhou Rong stared at the eyes of the county lord of Longwu and said in a deep voice, "You sneaked out? Prince Rui doesn't know?"
Guo Ruoxue lowered her head and said coquettishly: "Anyway, I've already come out! My father just knows that he won't do anything to me! Besides, I'm following Lord Tang now, and Lord Tang will also say good things for me! He has eaten a lot of my snacks!"
"Nonsense!"
"Brother Prince, is it fun to be in the Western Capital? I heard my father say that it is the most beautiful and peaceful place in the world, and it is simply a paradise on earth!"
"That's right!" Zhou Ziyi continued: "Jingmei is even more beautiful! There are so many fairies over there, and your prince and brother are all fascinated!"
"What?" Guo Ruoxue blinked, stared at Zhou Ziyi and said, "Don't talk nonsense!
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhou Ziyi also looked at the county lord of Longwu and blinked: "Your prince brother is really fascinated this time!"
"I don't believe it!" The county lord of Longwu said angrily: "I have heard that even the princess of the Chu Kingdom has not been able to enter the eyes of the prince's brother, what kind of beauty can there be in that small place in the western capital?" The county lord of Longwu looked at Zhou Rong as he spoke.
At this moment, Zhou Rong was already leaning on the cushion, closing his eyes, and looking like he was asleep.
The county lord of Longwu waved his fist at Zhou Rong, and was grabbed by Zhou Ziyi: "Shhhh
"Phew!" Guo Ruoxue gave Zhou Ziyi a big roll of his eyes: "I didn't miss you!"
Zhou Ziyi frowned at Guo Ruoxue and whispered, "Then what are you doing here?" (To be continued.) )
