Chapter 16 The Six Princesses of the Kingdom of Thistle
In the blink of an eye, the two stayed in Dijing for more than a month, and the weather had entered the cold winter season, and on the sixth day of winter, Dijing ushered in its first snow.
In the early morning, Yueming pushed open the window, and his heart stopped beating for a moment. He saw the white sky and earth, an extremely clean and quiet world, and when he was looking seriously, the voice of Fengzhao came from behind: "I'm going to see the snow, are you going?" Yueming turned his head and looked at Fengzhao with some puzzlement, only to see that he still had that cold and arrogant expression, "Do you think you can see the beauty of snowflakes in the room?" After speaking, he raised his legs and left. Yueming closed the window and followed.
Out of the door, Yan Di drove the carriage and was already waiting at the door.
"Go to Xishan" The cold voice of the wind floated out of the car.
Yan Di flicked the horsewhip, and the carriage ran all the way to the west. Xishan is located in the west of the imperial capital, the terrain is dangerous, it is a barrier in the western part of the imperial capital, the forest is lush in summer, there are many wild beasts in the mountain, there are often hunters hunting, at this moment Fengzhao came to the foot of the west mountain with the moonlight, got off the carriage, the wind looked around, and then said without looking at the moon: "Go up the mountain." As soon as the words fell, the man was already in mid-air. Yueming looked up at the wind light, a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and then he was like a flying bird crossing halfway up the mountain. I saw the two of them fall to the top of a mountain together with a few light jumps. After falling, the two looked at each other, and then smiled tacitly.
At this time, Fengzhao said to Yueming: "Take a good look." ”
Only then did the moon look at it, and I saw that the entire imperial capital was in full view, the earth was white, and the snow was fluttering and boiling with a white body, and it fell quietly. The earth was exceptionally empty and clean. At that moment, Yueming's heart felt quiet and indifferent that he had never felt before, looking quietly, the surrounding qiē seemed to be gone, only the snowflakes accompanied him wrapped around him, gently stretched out his hand, and watched softly watching the white and crystal snowflakes fall on the palm of his hand, and the cool and cool eyes turned into a small drop of water silently.
Feng Zhao also looked at the white and vast world intently, silent, vast and pure, he looked at the palace at the highest point of the imperial capital from afar, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Two people stood on the top of the mountain, one was clear and dusty, and the other was solemn, and at this time, only the two of them stood on the top of the mountain.
It wasn't until noon that the two returned to Huitianxia from outside the city, and the two of them went upstairs under the gaze of everyone in the hall, and entered the door of the guest room, Limeng brought a young man to see Yueming, and handed him a letter after seeing Yueming, and his slender fingers picked up the envelope, it turned out that it was Yanlong Guojun Chang Ruojin who called the two to rush back to Yanlong Wangfu before the year, Yueming signaled the person to retreat, and handed the letter to Fengzhao, after reading the letter, Fengzhao did not make a sound. After thinking for a moment, he said: "You can't look at plum blossoms, but we can go to the country of thistle for a turn, the country of this is close to the sea, and it doesn't hurt to look at the sea in winter." After listening to Fengzhao's words, a flash of brilliance flashed in Yueming's eyes: Yes, if there is a long way to return to Yanlong from Jiguo to walk along the seaside, after the two of them made a plan, they went separately and prepared to go.
After the city gate was opened the next day, Feng Zhao Yueming got in the car and went straight to the country of thistle. Dijing from Jicheng, the capital of Jiguo, has to walk in a carriage for a month, bumpy all the way, the two of them do not feel bitter, the two of them are cold and arrogant and light but also do not feel bored, in the car the two are either playing chess or playing the flute and playing the piano, but also happy. After leaving the Xiancheng adjacent to the Ji Kingdom in the Great Dragon Dynasty, on the tenth day, I saw the tall gate of Jicheng, the capital of the Ji Kingdom, from a distance. Feng Zhao ordered Yan Di to stop the car and then got out of the carriage, Yueming also followed, the two of them stood in the field, looking into the distance in addition to the desolation or desolation, the winter of Jicheng and the winter of the imperial capital are not much different, they are all very cold, even colder than the imperial capital.
Yueming said lightly: "Close to the capital is so desolate, I don't know what will happen if you are far away from the capital?" Fengzhao understands the meaning of Yueming, the rise and fall of a country can be seen through the spirit of the people, it is also a cold winter, but the people of the imperial capital look at it and are proud to live in the capital, and now they are at the foot of Jicheng, but they can't feel the happiness and glory of the people from the heart.
Feng Zhao looked at the faintly tall city gate in the distance, and suddenly asked Yueming: "Is it time for you to marry the princess of the Ji Kingdom." "The moonlight, who was still light and breezy just now, instantly looked like a cloudy sky, and the black ground was about to wring out the water, and the wind was happy, and he loved to see Yueming's expression.
With a flick of his hand, Yueming got into the car, Fengzhao followed behind him and his mouth was almost to his ears, Yan Di on the side looked a little stunned, he had never seen the young master smile so good-looking, thinking that the young master was also very charming when he smiled. Sitting in the car, Yueming didn't pay attention to Fengzhao all the way, and Fengzhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and the two were speechless all the way.
Before that, their carriage entered the southern gate of Jiguo, Jicheng is also a capital city of hundreds of years, although it is not as wide as the atmosphere of the imperial capital, but it is also neat and orderly, and the streets and shops crisscrossing the city are full of people. Sitting in the carriage, looking carefully at the street through the window, I saw that there were stalls on both sides of the road, there were vegetable sellers, snacks and fortune tellers, and when I was looking seriously, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in front of me and a woman's crisp and anxious shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”
The two of them sat in the carriage and looked forward through the curtain on the door, and saw a four-horse carriage coming straight to them a hundred meters away, and the horse was obviously frightened, and galloped all the way, driven by a delicate woman, dressed in a red hunting suit and wearing a short red cloak, and the collar was trimmed with the finest pure white mink. The street they were walking on was not the main street, and it was already crowded with a three-horse cart, and the carriage on the opposite side was obviously frightened and out of control, and if the horse was not pulled in time, the consequences could be imagined.
The people next to them have begun to panic, some are running around, some are frightened and in a daze, some are covering their faces and crying, and the road that was still neat and orderly suddenly became a pot of porridge.
Yan Di sat at the front of the car and asked in a low voice, "Young Master"
Feng Zhao said softly: "Hmm".
After hearing the command, Yan Di immediately stopped the carriage, followed by a jump straight to the opposite carriage, when he was about to fly to the top of the woman's head, a flick of the whip in his hand went straight to the woman, the woman suddenly felt a strong wind rushing towards her, but it was too late to resist, the whole person was rolled up and thrown out by Yan Di's whip, and the reins of the horse in his hand also came out, just as the woman was thrown out at the same time, Yan Di's other hand pulled the reins of the horse that was thrown off, but the person was already standing firmly on the carriage, only to see him pull the reins of the horse hard, one foot stomped down, and the carriage clicked from the wheels on both sides to break into twoThe whole car was divided into two sections, and at the same time as the car broke into two sections, Yan Di took off again, and kicked backwards with both feet at the same time, only to see that the rear car with the wheels and the body of the car flew straight backwards, and flew straight six or seven meters away before slamming down. At this time, Yan Di's two feet had stepped on the backs of the two horses in the middle, and he held the reins of the horses in his hands and pulled the four horses hard, because the force was too strong and too strong, and the four horses neighed in the air with their front feet at the same time.
At this moment, all the people on the street were like clay sculptures, and their hearts stopped beating for a moment, and after Yan Di reined in the four running horses, he jumped lightly to the ground, and at the same time untied the wreckage and reins on the horse's body and patted one of the horses on the head, and the horse scattered its hooves and gallged away, and the other horses also ran away. And when this qiē was done, the four carriages were still fifty meters away from the carriage in the wind, and the moon in the carriage couldn't help but praise: "Good skills." Feng Zhao looked at him coldly and didn't say anything. When Yan Di got into the car, the people on both sides of the road reacted, clapping their hands one by one, and in the midst of these clappings, they heard a woman's voice on the roof diagonally opposite to shout: "Hey, the one who drove the carriage, you get me down." Yan Di drove the carriage away slowly as if he hadn't heard it, and the woman jumped and screamed on the roof, but no one paid attention to it.
The carriage turned around in the city for most of the time, and the two asked Yan Di to park the car at the door of a secluded inn, and after taking a hat in the car, he got out of the car and stepped into the inn. Entered the guest room on the second floor, rested for a while, called the shop Xiao Er to ask for some dishes, just sat down at the table and didn't eat a bite, I heard a commotion in the hall, and then heard a woman's crisp voice: "Xiao Er, what about the carriage?" The two listened, looked at each other, and then Feng Zhao came to the window and looked down, only to see the woman who drove the carriage that he met on the street from time to time, wearing a red dress, a red cloak, and red boots, and was shouting vigorously downstairs. And next to her stood two young guards in armor, and there was a group of soldiers at the door, and Feng Zhao's brows couldn't help but twist.
When the shopkeeper saw the woman, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Princess, which one is driving the carriage? There are a lot of carriages from this store, I don't know which one you ask?"
"It was the carriage with three horses at the door, and the driver was wearing a black cloak and cloak. ”
The wind upstairs turned around and said to the expressionless Yueming: "It's coming, it's the princess of the Ji Kingdom below." ”
Yueming, who was drinking tea, heard this, and a sip of tea spewed out, Fengzhao raised his eyebrows proudly and looked down, and Yueming, who was behind him, also walked over and looked down with a depressed face, only to see the woman called the princess said domineeringly to the guards beside her: "Pull the carriage at the door away for me." ”
The soldiers at the door hured towards Fengzhao's carriage, and at this time, Fengzhao heard Yan Di use the sound into the secret and said: "Young master" Feng Zhao knew that Yan Di was asking him what to do, so he also used the sound transmission into the secret and said to Yan Di: "Don't move" Yan Di's answer of "yes" came from his ears.
Slowly walking out of the guest room door, Feng Zhao came to the staircase and asked coldly, "Are you going to take my carriage?"
The woman raised her eyes and saw the wind and couldn't help but be stunned, and the two guards beside him also looked straight at the wind and the breath of the wind had silently dispersed at this time, and a supreme domineering and cold arrogance swept all the people downstairs, making people dare not come out.
After a short pause, the woman reacted, pedaled her upstairs, came to Fengzhao, stared at Fengzhao up and down with bright black eyes, and asked, "Are you the owner of the carriage?"
"I wonder why this girl is pulling my carriage?"
Without waiting for Fengzhao to finish speaking, the woman suddenly entered the guest room behind Fengzhao, and Yueming, who was watching from the window of the guest room, was suddenly jumped by the girl who rushed in, and the two looked at each other for a moment, the girl turned around and ignored Yueming, facing Fengzhao, she asked arrogantly: "What about the one who drove the car?"
Feng Zhao didn't look at her coldly: "He's my groom, what's the matter?"
At this time, the two guards downstairs spoke: "Presumptuous, this is the sixth princess of this Ji Kingdom, and we don't want to see the princess yet." ”
The cold and arrogant eyes swept over the two, and a wave of energy hit the two of them silently, and the two of them stood in the center of the ground in a daze, and the princess of the Ji Kingdom did not notice it. Seeing that Feng Zhao was silent, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then said to Feng Zhao: "How about selling your groom to me." The price is yours. Feng Zhao glanced at her coldly, turned around and entered the guest room, and at this time, the moon in the guest room had recovered the wind and clouds of the past, and her face was expressionless, and the princess of Ji Country followed into the guest room, and sat on the chair, looking at the wind and Zhao, Feng Zhao looked at the princess of Ji Kingdom, and then looked at Yue Ming, and there was a trace of ridicule and snickering in her eyes, Yue Ming still had a flat expressionless face, but a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
The sixth princess was speechless when she saw the wind, and said again in a hurry: "I'll talk to you about something, what do you see him doing, there are no flowers on his face." ”
The smile in Feng Zhao's eyes became stronger, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, Yueming next to him suddenly asked, "I don't know why the sixth princess has to buy our coachman?"
The sixth princess of the Ji Kingdom suddenly turned red, and whispered: "He threw me on the roof, and I want to settle accounts with him." ”
Yueming pondered for a while and then said: "The princess was in a critical situation at the time, if he didn't throw you on the roof, the result can be imagined. ”
The sixth princess of the Ji Kingdom hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I know, so I want to buy him back to teach me riding and driving the carriage." After speaking, he looked at Yueming with a pitiful face.
Looking at the expression of the princess of Jiguo, hearing this, Feng Zhao and Yue Ming looked at each other for a moment, and when Feng Zhao was about to speak, he heard Yue Ming say: "Although the carriage is ours, the groom who drives it is hired by us, so we have no right to buy and sell the coachman." As soon as the words fell, the sixth princess of the Ji Kingdom stood up from her seat and said, "This is the best, then you sue me that he is there, and I will go to him and hire him at a high price." ”
At this time, Yueming looked at Fengzhao and said with a voice: "Lend Yan Di to her." Feng Zhao glared at Yueming, and called softly: "Yan Di" At this time, Yan Di, who was in the guest room next to him, heard Feng Zhao call him, and then went out of the guest room to Feng Zhao, and was about to give a salute, but he didn't expect that the six princesses next to him suddenly had their eyes light up when they saw Yan Di, and they rushed to Yan Di's side in one step, and grabbed Yan Di's right elbow with one hand stretched out, and said in a series of words: "I finally found you." You teach me how to drive a carriage, and the posture you had when you strangled my carriage in the street was so beautiful, and I want to learn that. ”
When Yan Di saw the sixth princess's hand grasping his arm, he instinctively wanted to open it with his true qi, but found that the sixth princess's hand was not working, and immediately he restrained the true qi that was about to explode, and then heard the sixth princess babble such a lot, his face turned red. He grew up in the Qilin Valley and was cultivated as a dead soldier, and the people he usually saw were all rigid and cold dead soldiers, but now he was pulled in the hands of such a delicate woman like a flower, and said so many things that ordinary women dare not say, how could his face not be red.
Feng Zhao Yueming saw that Yan Di's face was as red as a radish with red skin, so they suppressed the smile in their hearts, and deliberately said to Yan Di with a straight face: "This is the sixth princess of Ji Kingdom, don't see me yet." ”
When Yan Di heard this, he wanted Shi Li to grab his arm and hold on, but the sixth princess just stared at Yan Di with bright eyes, as if she was afraid that he would run away as soon as she let go, and kept saying: "No, no, do you teach me or not, I will hire you at a high price." ”
Yan Di's face was red and red at the moment, and his pair of handsome eyes, who usually only put on cold light, were looking at Fengzhao for help at the moment. Feng took care of Yueming, and Yueming still looked faint: "Yan Di, since the sixth princess likes to drive a carriage, you might as well teach him, we don't need a carriage here for the time being." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sixth princess immediately pulled Yan Di out of the door, and when Yan Di went out, she looked at Fengzhao helplessly, and Fengzhao said to Yan Di with a sound transmission: "Be careful yourself, remember that no matter what happens, you are my person." And he gave you two taels of silver, and you took it. After hearing this, Yan Di's heart calmed down a lot, he knew that the young master meant to tell him not to be afraid, they all said that the companion is like a tiger, and now it is the princess of the Ji Kingdom who takes him away, and if he is not careful, he may be summoned to kill, and with the words of Fengzhao, it means that no matter what happens, he Yan Di is just obeying the orders of Fengzhao, as for the princess of Jiguo or the emperor, he can not listen to it and do not have to be afraid.
After waiting for the six princesses of the Ji Kingdom to pull Yan Di's hand downstairs, Feng Zhao came to the door of the guest room and waved his sleeves inadvertently, and the two guards downstairs suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to say something, they saw their princess pulling a person down, and hurriedly gave a salute, only to hear the crisp voice of the six princesses of the Ji Kingdom downstairs: "Go back to the racecourse." ”
Fengzhao and Yueming in the guest room waited for those people to leave the inn door, only then did they look at each other and smile, laughing extremely happily, even Yueming, who had never had any expression, smiled extremely brightly, after laughing, Fengzhao stared at Yueming with a deep face and said: "You deliberately let Yan Di out." ”
Yueming put away his smile and regained his past appearance of the clouds and breezy air, and said without looking at the wind and light: "If you don't let it out, do you think the princess of the Ji Kingdom will give up?" and then her eyes swept over a trace of unfathomable.
Just as he was talking, Feng Zhao seemed to remember something, came to the door and called the shopkeeper in, waiting for the shopkeeper to come in, Fengzhao and Yueming regained their cold appearance, the shopkeeper looked at the two of them with a stern face, and was too frightened to make a sound, only to hear Fengzhao ask: "The one who came just now is the sixth princess of your Ji Kingdom?" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and his mouth repeatedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes" Feng Zhao said to the shopkeeper again: "Tell me about this sixth princess, how can he be a princess who can drive a carriage in the downtown street?" As soon as the shopkeeper heard that Feng Zhao was asking about this, he talked endlessly.
It turns out that there are five princesses in the thistle country, and today's one is the sixth, so it is called the six princesses, just because the mother of the six princesses is an extremely beautiful and intelligent woman, and she is very favored by the old emperor of the current Ji country, and the favor is not declining, so the six princesses have also been doted on by the old emperor since childhood, and the women in the court have learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, only the six princesses only like to dance knives and guns and especially love to ride horses and drive carriages, and the old emperor is reluctant to discipline so he has to do what he likes. These six princesses are even more lawless and run around the streets in carriages, and people are used to it. After listening to these introductions, after Feng Zhao signaled the shopkeeper to leave, he looked at Yueming with a slight sideways head, Yueming guessed what Feng Zhao wanted to say, and then his face was annoyed. Looking at the depression and anger in Yueming's eyes, Feng Zhao pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth.
