Chapter 13 The road meets a comatose little girl
Sikong Yan shrugged his shoulders, "That can't be helped, the economy of the south is more developed than that of the north, the climate is mild, and the scenery is beautiful." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Your current status is a princess, so naturally you can't go to a deserted place. Moreover, the longer you spend on the road, the more you will be able to understand the political situation of Yongguo, which will be beneficial to our future plans. ”
"I don't think that's the only way. Shen Lanying pointed to the place near the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau on the map, "If you avoid the barbarian land because of your identity as a princess, you don't have to pass through here, right?" She narrowed her eyes and stared at Sikong Yan, "I think you should be doing your layout on the road, so as to increase Jiang Xu's chances of winning the throne in the future." ”
Sikong Yan didn't deny it, but nodded straightforwardly: "I didn't expect you to know me quite well, you are right, the purpose of going to Yunzhou is to visit the Mu family, who has guarded the south for generations and defended the southern barbarians for the imperial court." ”
When Shen Lanying first saw the map, she found that the difference in the division of administrative districts here is not very different from modern times. I didn't expect that the family guarding the south here was also called the Mu family. This makes Shen Lanying feel very interesting, does this show that although the history here is different from that of modern times, the division of forces is still roughly the same?
In fact, Shen Lanying knows about Mufu in Yunnan, not because of how well she studies history, but because her favorite online drama once set the filming location in Mufu. Thinking back to this, Shen Lanying couldn't help but feel deep gratitude to the online drama once again.
"What are these crooked routes doing after that?"
"You said it was here. Sikong Yan glanced at the place Shen Lanying was pointing, "I forgot to tell you before, we have to deal with people in the rivers and lakes along the way." ”
"Jianghu?" Shen Lanying's eyes widened in surprise, she was already very dangerous just pretending to be a princess, and now she wanted her to mix in the rivers and lakes, how could she be so miserable!
She thought for a while and asked, "Are you planning to make everyone in the rivers and lakes support Jiang Xu? This is impossible, haven't they always been arrogant and disdainful of dealing with the imperial court? If they interfere with the royal succession, the kings of the past dynasties will not keep them." ”
Sikong Yan nodded and said: "That's right, but you must know that after the kings of the past dynasties took the throne, it was indispensable to suppress and pacify the forces of the rivers and lakes. In the future, there will be less worries about winning the heir. Besides, who said that there are no people from the court in the rivers and lakes?"
Who said that there are no people from the court in the rivers and lakes......
Shen Lanying savored these words, she was now sure that she would not be able to be peaceful in the past three months.
"Then, according to what you mean, we don't have to hide our identities on this trip?"
"Yes, we don't have to hide our identities. But it won't notify the local government in a big way, and you don't have to do anything along the way, just treat it as a trip. ”
Go on your trip, the devil believes you're just traveling!
After explaining the travel plan, the two did not have any more conversations. Sikong Yan found a book and began to read it by himself, Shen Lanying obviously did not have the leisure and elegance of him, and fell asleep after leaning on the chair for a while.
They took the bodies of Xia Ke and Princess Zhaoying and set off again at noon, and the four of them simply ate some dry food in the car. Although the weather is very hot now, Princess Zhaoying's coffin has the Nine Shadows Sect's Cold Extreme Divine Ice, so there is no need to worry about the corpse decomposing in a short period of time.
At present, their location is the western region of Yongguo, where the degree of urbanization is relatively low, the distance between towns and towns is far, and there will be a period of undeveloped wilderness in between, so they will inevitably cross a forest and take a mountain road from time to time along the way, but because the routes are planned by Sikong Yan, the road is relatively calm, until the sun sets, the carriage that was originally running smoothly suddenly bends, and Shen Lanying, who was dozing in the carriage, hit the car board directly with her head, which also made her wake up from her sleep.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" asked Shen Lanying, rubbing her head.
Sikong Yan stared at her again and again, making sure that she was fine, before getting up and lifting the curtain and saying, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
At this time, Shen Lanying would definitely not sit stupidly in the car, driven by curiosity, she leaned out of the carriage with Sikong Yan.
Outside the carriage, Xia Ke held the reins of the two horses with a serious expression, while Feng Shuang looked at the middle of the road with some surprise. Obviously, Xia Ke noticed something unusual first, snatched the reins of Fengshuang, and made the carriage stop suddenly.
They were now in a forest, which was a necessary road between two neighboring towns, and there were often pedestrians or caravans' carriages passing through it, and over time, a relatively flat road was developed in the forest, and it was from this road that the four of them led to Cloud City, the station of Mufu.
Shen Lanying and Sikong Yan looked at the center of the road with Feng Shuang's eyes, there seemed to be something in the middle of the road, and it vaguely looked like a person.
"Lord, do you want to go down and have a look?" Xia Ke, who was dressed in black, asked, his voice slightly hoarse.
Sikong Yan didn't answer his words immediately, a meaningless smile appeared on his face, and he asked Xia Ke a question, "Xia Ke, who do you say that at this time, the girl who will be in a coma here will be?"
Xia Ke groaned for a moment and lowered his head: "The subordinates are stupid." But looking at the bloodstains on this woman's body, it shouldn't be an ordinary person. ”
Shen Lanying looked at the master and servant in surprise, who was about fifty meters away from them, and was lying face down on the ground. And Sikong Yan and Xia Ke could see that she was a woman from such a distance, and they could also see bloodstains, could it be said that the eyesight of ancient people was so good?
Shen Lanying quickly noticed that she was not the only one who was surprised by the conversation between the two of them, and Feng Shuang, who was sitting beside Xia Ke, was no less surprised than her in her eyes. Before she could figure out the reason, Sikong Yan had already jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the woman who fell to the ground in the middle of the road, Xia Ke followed closely behind him. Shen Lanying also followed with the mentality that if there was excitement, she couldn't help but watch it, and kept Fengshuang, who was a beat slower to react, to watch the carriage.
Walking closer, Shen Lanying found that it was indeed a woman who fell to the ground, her black hair was simply tied up with a red hairband at the back of her head, and her coupling-colored clothes were simple and neat, but there were a lot of blood stains. I have to say that this girl is dressed very much like the Jianghu woman in the online drama.
Xia Ke stepped forward quickly, helped the woman up, leaned against a big tree, reached out to catch the artery on the side of her neck, felt it for a few seconds, looked up and said to Sikong Yan: "Lord, she is still alive." ”
