CHAPTER XXI

Although Huo Yi had quickened his speed, the horsewhip was rattling along the way, but when he arrived at the city gate, it was almost evening, and this point was the peak of going out of the city and entering the city, and all kinds of people gathered at the city gate, which was the most lively time of the day.

Huo Yi is the prince of the Southern Night Kingdom, he has set off a bloody storm in the capital, everyone in the capital knows, in order to avoid anyone from recognizing him, before entering the city, he has made a disguise, and his appearance has indeed changed a lot, but the cold breath is always accompanied by him, so that the villagers walking beside him unconsciously want to look at him a few more times, and always feel that his eyes looking straight ahead have a trace of cold cold, and the horse that □□ is also different from ordinary horses, rare tall and handsome, and the horsehair is extremely beautiful, It's just that the horse's eyes are the same as the owner's, looking around gloomily and coldly, and the people and horses are walking forward slowly without saying a word, but it makes people feel daunting, and unconsciously, a few meters are inexplicably empty around him.

As he was about to enter the city gate, he suddenly heard the noise of horses' hooves behind him.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A rugged male voice pierced the sky.

The speed of the horses was very fast, and the people on the horses kept waving their whips and shouting, so that the already crowded city gate suddenly vacated an empty passage, and the people stopped to watch out of curiosity, and from time to time chattered about which official's carriage it was.

Huo Yi squinted his eyes and looked back, only to see a few officers and soldiers in front of him riding horses, behind them, a carriage decorated with hexagonal green bells came quickly, the carriage was slightly a third larger than the ordinary carriage, the brocade forged curtain, the jade-colored bead curtain, the carriage was in a hurry, and in a flash, you could faintly peek into the finch blue dress and a white face, and the bells tied to the carriage collided with a pleasant bell, fluttering melodiously at the gate of the South Night City at dusk.

Suddenly, a two- or three-year-old child slipped out of the crowd, walked unsteadily into the empty road, people originally focused on the carriage, and when they found out, the child had staggered to the middle of the empty road, everyone was terrified, in a hurry, some people turned their eyes to Huo Yi, in this chaotic scene, Huo Yi was particularly prominent, there was a chilling domineering in his indifferent temperament, and this kind of scene in front of him seemed to be the only one who had the ability to save the child.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Huo Yi sat coldly on the handsome horse, his expression was as indifferent as ice, like a 10,000-year-old glacier, and he did not move.

At the moment of crisis, a man rushed to the little boy's side regardless of the danger, hugged the little boy, and blocked the horse and the little boy with his body.

The boy's father and mother were already frightened and their legs were weak, and while taking the child, they kept kowtowing to the man to thank him, the man waved his hand indifferently, and told them to take care of the child. ”

A curious person immediately asked, "Which Gu Gongzi?" ”

"Which other Gu second son, of course it is Gu Haoting, the second son of Gu Yuanqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites!"

"It's him, no wonder!" Someone sighed and praised, and said: "Gu Ergongzi is known to be kind and charitable, and only he has the courage to dare to save people!" ”

Huo Yi, who was above the handsome horse, heard this, Yingmei frowned for some reason, and a pair of eyes that were as calm as a pool couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu Haoting, the other party seemed to have a sense, and even looked back, the two looked at each other, one was cold and one gentle, one was domineering and one was elegant, the two top figures looked at each other in the crowd, and the silent gaze made people feel a chill running up from the soles of their feet.

In the end, it was Gu Haoting who broke the silence first, and nodded slightly at Huo Yi, which was regarded as a greeting, Ling Li in Huo Yi's line of sight also decreased a little, and the eyes of the two people were inexplicably connected and inexplicably forked, which made people very confused.

"What's going on?"

A warbler's gentle woman's voice suddenly sounded from inside the carriage, accompanied by the soft light of dusk, and the soft sound made the people who were closer to the carriage immediately think about it and cast their eyes in the direction of the carriage.

Gu Haoting stared at the carriage, and when he caught a glimpse of the bell of the carriage, he withdrew his gaze, moved his steps towards the sparse crowd, and left silently while people were not paying attention.

Su Mingming, the commander of the guards closest to the carriage, bowed down in the carriage and said, "The princess is frightened!" Just now, a child broke into the horse by mistake, but fortunately, the guards reined in the horse's reins in time and did not hurt his life. "Obviously a man on the march, he spoke with a blank look and no pity.

"Oh?" There was a hint of surprise in the woman's tactful voice in the carriage, and then she saw the slender jade hand lift the bead curtain, and the bright and moving face behind the curtain suddenly caused a commotion in the crowd, she turned her eyes lightly, looked at the front of the carriage, and said with concern: "How is the child?" ”

Su Ming said: "Back to the princess, it's fine." ”

"It's fine." Yao Peiying opened her lips slightly, her creamy jade-white skin lined with a face that was alluring, so people couldn't take their eyes off, only to see her turn her eyes lightly, and said lightly: "Since you have entered the city, it is not at this moment, it is better to slow down, don't hurt the people." ”

"Subordinates obey."

Yao Peiying let go of the bead curtain, and the gaze that was about to retract swept unconsciously in the crowd, and suddenly a vigorous figure crashed into her eyes, which made her eyes tingle, and she was stunned for a while, and the bead curtain that had just been put down was opened by her violently, and the small pearls collided together, making a burst of rapid sounds.

Although forced by Yao Peiying's gaze, Huo Yi still sat under the horse's back with an indifferent expression, his slightly arrogant chin made his handsome facial features more clear and handsome, his thin lips were arrogant and cold, and his ice-like black eyes glanced at Yao Peiying coldly, and there was no trace of love in his indifferent gaze, and then he turned his horse's head and drove towards the city quickly, and after a while, the people and horses disappeared in front of the city gate.

Yao Peiying was stunned in the car, her eyes were dull but eagerly following the handsome back, her heart ached like a knife, even if he changed his appearance and changed clothes, she could recognize him at a glance, because that was the person she had missed for three years!

"Princess?" Su Ming saw Yao Peiying's stunned eyes, and also frowned and looked at her gaze, but there was more confusion and resentment in his eyes, before escorting the princess back to Beijing, King An privately summoned him and told him to take good care of the princess, especially let her not have too much contact with the man next to her, at that time he also secretly thought that King An was too worried, although the princess was beautiful, but in the cemetery for three years, she has been serving King An wholeheartedly, how could she fall in love with the man next to her? At this moment, it seems that King An is really like a god, before the person really enters the capital, half of his soul is lost, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with Yao Peiying in his heart at the moment, but the other party is the princess after all, and his duty is to protect her thoroughly, even if he is indignant, he can't express himself, so he has to say: "The princess is not early, she is still waiting over there, can you go?" ”

Yao Peiying only felt a bitterness in her eyes, and her throat choked and she couldn't speak, but under the public of this hall, she couldn't lose her identity as a princess, so she had to hold back, reluctantly retracted her nostalgic gaze at the city gate, put down the bead curtain in a daze, retreated to the seat, closed her eyes tightly, and said slowly: "Let's go." ”
