Chapter 3 The Long Yang Pass Road 4

13 The princess is invited

Frightened, the two of them consumed a lot of physical strength, and they were already hungry and thirsty, so Pan Zi didn't need to be instructed, so he lit a fire to make tea.

Therefore, when Dongfang Yi hurried back, he found Weihuan and Pan Zi sitting in the car drinking tea, and the two girls looked a little frightened, but they were still calm. He couldn't help but sigh with relief and said, "Give me a cup of tea." He took a sip of the tea handed by Pan Zi before asking, "Where did you go?" I got rid of the robbers and went to look for you, but I didn't find you, I didn't expect you to have returned. ”

Wei Wan replied correctly what she had thought about a long time ago: "It's in the forest, and I don't know if the robbers have repelled it, so I don't dare to come out, and I dare to come out when I hear that there is no sound." ”

Dongfang Yi nodded, handed the teacup back to Pan Zi, thought about it, and then ordered: "King Liang was injured by the robbers, he probably won't leave today, and will be stationed here for a few days." Be careful. Then he left, and went to watch the little army pitch their tents.

Dongfang Yi knew that this was not a robber at all, but a trained dead soldier who intended to assassinate the good king. The good king also knows. He was dressed exactly like himself today, and he was used as a stand-in. The second is to test whether this assassin has anything to do with him. The Assassins besieged him as soon as they came up, apparently relieving the good king. But in this team, it's no longer safe.

In the evening, the news came that King Liang had died of serious injuries and had died. The whole army changed their mourning clothes and mourned. There is a fast horse to deliver the news to Princess Liang. Princess Liang set off overnight and arrived at midnight the next day. As soon as she arrived, Princess Liang sat in the big tent with filial piety and ordered: "King Liang entered Beijing this time, originally under the holy edict, as a son and a minister, he must not go against the holy will, even if he dies, he must complete the holy order." He ordered that the body of King Liang be packed immediately, and that she should leave in three days, and that she should bring the body into Beijing.

Three days later, the team set off again. The original people and horses, plus the people and horses brought by Princess Liang, were all dressed in white, and the huge coffin of King Liang was sandwiched between the carriages and horses, and the white dragon was marching forward.

Weihuan and Pan Zi also changed into mourning clothes and sat in a green caravan with white yarn hanging on it.

Pan Zi fanned the fire on the small stove and whispered worriedly, "The food is also delivered in time." Sure enough, the good king is gone, and the army is in chaos? ”

"Didn't Big Brother just deliver a snack? There are so many words to eat. Wei Wan scolded lightly. She didn't blame Pan Zi for complaining, but she was afraid that she would talk too much and show her tone, and be known by King Liang and others.

Wei Wan didn't believe that the good king had died. Although the army is mourned, there is only anger and no sadness, and the military discipline looks scattered, but it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, if the king of Liang is really dead, it should not be so. Moreover, it is rumored that when King Liang died, there was a team that checked the women from car to car, and also checked their cars, and saw Wei Wan's ugly face, so they were relieved to check elsewhere. Wei Wan guessed that it might be that King Liang woke up and was looking for someone to save him.

Calling the public dead is nothing but a strategy to hide people's eyes.

Dongfang Yi obviously knew this strategy, and originally wanted to say goodbye to King Liang, but he couldn't leave this time - if this situation was seen through by outsiders and assassins were sent again, those who were in a hurry to leave would have a hard time arguing.

The white team traveled all the way west, walked for more than three months, and gradually approached Yecheng, the capital of the Middle Zhou Empire. During this period, Lu encountered a small accident, and the horse that pulled the coffin of King Liang went crazy and overturned the coffin, and King Liang's body and burial goods were sprinkled in broad daylight. Looking at the Liang Wang in a dress lying in a pile of jewels and jade, even Wei Wan felt that her previous speculation was wrong, Liang Wang, it was true. She wanted to see some clues from Dongfang Yi's reaction, but Dongfang Yi only came to visit her every day, sent some food products, and then followed in front of the car, never leaving an inch, and never mentioned the matter of Liangwang.

At noon on this day, when I arrived at the outskirts of Yecheng, there was already a little wrestler waiting there with a holy decree. The Holy Majesty ordered the Liangwang Department to be stationed five hundred miles outside the city. The army then set up camp.

Dongfang Yi said to Wei Huan: "It's time for us to say goodbye to King Liang." ”

"Yes, big brother. The little sister is ready. Weiwan noticed that Dongfang Yi mentioned King Liang, and immediately knew that King Liang was not dead.

Dongfang Yi saw that Weiwan was wearing a plain cloak and a hat, and a pair of slender hands were holding the tulle on the brim of the hat, revealing a girl's gentle and sweet smile. Although the face and hands are still coated with black grass juice, after looking at it for a long time, I also feel beautiful. Looking at Pan Zi again, she had already carried a big bag on her back, carrying a food box in one hand and another big bag in the other, with an eager face and eager to go, she really packed it up. Dongfang Yi felt comfortable again, this girl was smart and smart, and she was ready for everything, which saved him a lot of worry. He looked at Weihuan's already neat eyebrows and smiled: "The eyebrows have grown, now that your aunt sees you, she shouldn't be mistaken for a big monkey." ”

Wei Wan didn't follow: "Big brother! ”

Pan Zi moved the clothes bag on her back and said eagerly: "Childe, can we go to my aunt's house today?" ”

Dongfang Yi hesitated for a moment, looked at Wei Wan and said, "What is Wan Niang's plan?" ”

Wei Wan smiled a little uneasy, and then said: "Huan'er listens to the eldest brother's arrangement." ”

Dongfang Yi said hello, and gave a few more commands, asking the master and servant to wait a while, he went to say goodbye to King Liang, and strode away.

Not long after leaving, a small colonel led a richly dressed housekeeper's daughter-in-law and two little girls over. The housekeeper's daughter-in-law has a long face, small eyebrows, and a silk bun, which is the Li family that Weiwan has seen, and Princess Xiao's close attendant.

When Li saw Wei Wan, he immediately smiled all over his face, and said, "How is the lady?" Our princess has always been thinking about her mother, but because she has been busy, she has neglected her son, which is really rude. The princess called the slave maid to give the lady a salute, don't you pay a compensation? "As he spoke, he saluted again.

Wei Wan dared to accept her courtesy, she is now representing the princess, Wei Wan accepted it calmly, it was really frivolous and ignorant, she hurriedly avoided it sideways, helped Li to get up, and said urgently: "Sister-in-law Li, please get up, this can kill the little woman." ”

Li got up and said with a smile: "The princess asked the lady to move, and the princess wanted to see the lady's style." ”

Wei Wan was secretly stunned. She is just a helpless orphan girl, even if she looks at Dongfang Yi's face, she is just treating her kindly, why does such a noble status as the princess meet her? Weiwan's first thought was that King Liang knew that she had saved him......

The current situation did not allow her to hesitate, and she said politely: "Don't dare." It's just that the princess wants to see it, and the little woman doesn't dare to postpone it. After speaking, he left Pan Zi to wait in place, and asked the Li family to lead the way and walk towards the princess's tent together.

Wei Wan was worried all the way, thinking about her true face, among outsiders, only King Liang and this Li family and some low-level little girls had seen it. King Liang did not know his identity. The little girls are too low in rank to talk to the above, only this Li family will expose themselves, at the moment, tentatively: "The poor girl has no knowledge, the first time I saw the nobles, I was really worried, please ask my sister to advise one, two." ”

Li's eyes quickly glanced at the little girls who followed behind him. The little girls all walked with their heads down, only using the hair of the black crow to the people in front of them, but they were like invisible eyes on the top of their heads, and Li's eyes immediately made them slow down and follow from a distance.

Li smiled at this time: "Our princess is the most amiable, and she has always pitied the poor and cherished the poor. What's more, a character like a lady, when the princess sees it, she is afraid that she will love it even more. - If you have any requirements, just mention them, as long as they are not excessive, what the princess can do, she will definitely be able to satisfy the lady. As he spoke, he looked at Weihuan with a smile, but his eyes became cold, and he said, "Lady, this makeup is good." ”

Weiwan immediately heard the hidden meaning of this. The princess already knew that she had saved King Liang, but she didn't want King Liang to know. I am afraid that I am going to warn her and let her be at ease. A sense of humiliation rushed to her chest, and Wei Wan almost wanted to turn around and leave. However, another thought came to me just in time: didn't she and the princess have the same purpose? Now she doesn't have to worry about someone recognizing her as the savior of the good king. With this change of mind, he followed the Li family to the princess's big tent with peace of mind.
