Chapter 334: I like that female swordsman
Before the sun rose in the morning, Shen Mengting and her group of five were already ready to come to the door. They all knew where they were going, so they all showed tension on their faces.
And even Qian Hao, who has always been playful and smiling on weekdays, is now a serious person who constantly coughs and licks his lips.
"Hey, Qian Hao, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well at night?"
Shen Mengting's cold question made Qian Hao's body twitch completely. He said a few times in a low tone, and then patted his head disobediently, "Oops! Miss Shen Mengting, how do you know that I didn't sleep well last night?"
"I knew it at the time. Didn't I see you in the backyard pavilion last night to blow the wind?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Mengting told the story of last night so directly, and Qian Hao was not embarrassed to straighten up several times.
"Ahh
Qian Hao's two rows of teeth seemed to be trembling, and he coughed several times without surprise.
"Oh, yes! I remembered again. Qian Hao: What are you giggling at later? When I came back, I saw you again, and you were giggling!"
"Ah...... Yes...... Huh?" Qian Hao's eyebrows raised uncontrollably, and he slowly turned his face in the direction of Shen Mengting with a very low speed, "Ah...... Miscellaneous...... What? ...... you? Did you turn back last night?"
"Yes! I'm going to give you a coat because it's cold......! Seeing you smiling so happily, I knew you wouldn't be cold!, so I left decisively!" Shen Mengting said unhurriedly, and she also had a feeling that she was about to spread her hands and pout.
At this time, Qian Hao couldn't control it at all. His two rows of fighting teeth trembled even more violently.
Chen Tianhao couldn't understand what was wrong with these two people at all, so he prepared to start the prelude to the road.
Steward Zhang had already led the five horses to the door of the house, and waited for them to go out.
"Thank you so much!" Shen Mengting thanked the key straight.
"This is what I should do!Miss!" Steward Zhang respectfully handed over a white horse belonging to Shen Mengting, that is, 'Nasa'.
Shen Mengting released another sentence of great gratitude. This Steward Zhang is a person who has been working in the Shen family since his father was alive. Even after his father died, the housekeeper still looked down on Shen Mengting so loyally.
For this reason, Shen Mengting's heart was filled with sourness.
The other four chose their horses, stepped on the stirrups and stepped on the horses. Not even five seconds passed, and the style of the five people changed from standing dry to riding horses.
"Let's go!butler!" Shen Mengting turned her horse's head slightly, but when she aimed it at the intersection, she didn't forget to turn around and say goodbye to the key again.
"Got it! Miss and her companions should be careful on the road!"
"Hmm!"
After nodding her head at the end, Shen Mengting returned to her former capable and heroic appearance. I saw her swing the horsewhip in her hand, and she was about to shout the word 'drive'.
However, at the moment when the horse was about to move, Jiang Jingwen drove the horse to the side.
"Ah, Sister Mengting! Over the years, Steward Zhang has served so thoughtfully!"
"That's for sure, he's so loyal!"
The two women smiled at each other, then pulled their whips and sneered to the horses.
"Hey, what did you two do in the backyard pavilion last night?" Shen Jun was still secretly asking Qian Hao's question, but even after seeing others running quickly, he couldn't stop waving his hand into the distance, "Ahh......h We don't know where the palace is!"
Hearing the shouting from behind, Shen Mengting also impatiently tightened the reins of the horse and forcibly stopped the horse, "Hey, what are you three men doing? Aren't you about to set off?
"Hey, we don't know the way!"
"If you know you don't know the way, don't follow it quickly!" Shen Mengting replied.
Helplessly, the three men quickly drove their horses to follow.
However, before the horse ran, Shen Jun still leaned his head towards the position of Qian Hao next to him, "Hey, I said what happened to the two of you last night?"
But Qian Hao didn't seem to hear that, and quickly 'drove' the sound and made the horse run forward.
The five of them started to hurry quickly, their position was at the front with Shen Mengting at the front, and the four followed neatly behind.
In the first section, they had no problem doing so due to the sparse flow of people. But as we got closer to the palace, the flow of people gradually increased. Soon after, they even came to a bazaar.
This bazaar is the only way to get to the palace, if you don't want to pass by, you must take a detour, and everyone has no choice but to cross it. But there was one thing they had to observe, and that was that the bazaar was not suitable for horseback riding.
So they dismounted and walked at what they thought were snails.
"Alas, why is this so? there are so many people!" Shen Jun couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, what are you complaining about? Don't forget, this is Kiyose Castle!"
was woken up by Shen Mengting, and they all woke up to the fact that the location where they were doing was the most prosperous place in the entire Saran Kingdom, that is, the national capital Qingse City.
Leading the horse and walking slowly, Qian Hao also looked at both sides. The prosperity of Kiyose Castle is unimaginable, and the market is full of people. Moreover, there are all kinds of things sold on both sides of the road, and some of them have never even seen the rich people who have traveled almost half of Saran.
There were also other dignitaries on horseback, and even dignitaries in carriages. But there is one similarity between them, that is, they are not fast.
It's no wonder who in such a dense bazaar would be able to go very fast and cause an accident and get into trouble!
Continuing to walk in the bazaar for a while, Qian Hao's eyes no longer looked at anything else. He turned his gaze to Shen Mengting in front of him. Right now, he's thinking about it.
After Shen Mengting left the pavilion last night, it didn't take long for her to turn back?
If that's the case, then wasn't his crazy laughing appearance last night all in the eyes of the other party?
As soon as he thought of this, Qian Hao's mouth suffocated. He really couldn't imagine that his ugliness would be seen by the most important person in his mind, and he didn't take into account the fact that Shen Mengting would come back at all!
It can be said that Qian Hao's current mood is very depressed, and he really wants to bury his head deep in the low, and then be an animal that can sleep forever. But he also knew that this idea was absolutely unrealistic.
He raised his head again, and then continued to look at Shen Mengting. Maybe I wanted to go up and talk to her, so that I could also find out what the woman saw last night.
However, there doesn't seem to be much chance now! Because Shen Mengting is chatting with Jiang Jingwen at the moment, these two women don't look like they are good, and Qian Hao, as a male compatriot, can't interject. So he gave up, but his idea of probing the tone would never change the slightest.
At this time, there seemed to be a gust of wind in his ears, which made Qian Hao vigilant. Because of the relationship in the market, the surrounding environment must be very noisy, but now there are gusts of wind wandering in the ears, which must be aimed at themselves.
Turning his head to the side, he saw Shen Jun's inquisitive face.
"Hey, when did you become so mother-in-law, this is not like you!
Qian Hao didn't understand what the man meant at all, so he frowned and said, "What are you doing? Don't be nervous!"
"Why am I nervous? Am I not asking you? What happened to you and that woman last night?"
Facing Shen Jun's questioning look, Qian Hao felt angry in his heart, "Oh! What are you thinking about? Who had something to do with that woman last night?"
"Ah, no?" Shen Jun's face looked suspicious at a glance, "She said it herself just now! Hey, Qian Hao, what's the matter with you? I want to hide it from my brother?"
"What! nothing!" Qian Hao deliberately sped up the speed of leading the horse, which made him pass half of Shen Jun's body.
But Shen Jun seemed to be indomitable, although he didn't follow closely and parallel with Qian Hao again, but he released an unexpected word.
"Qian Hao! Sometimes I think...... Do you like that female swordsman?"
Qian Hao, who was in the front half of his body, seemed to have been struck by lightning, and even his body was volleyed, "Ah...... You...... You...... You ......"
Qian Hao's strange behavior really aroused many onlookers, and even Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen in front of them turned around to see what was going on.
Qian Hao realized that he had lost his temper, so he immediately made a remedial action to clear his throat. Yu Guang glanced at the surroundings for a while, and he closed his eyes and exhaled coolly, "Ahem...... Cough...... Aren't we on our way? So now we have to focus on the rush and don't think about anything else. ”
With that, he walked briskly forward.
Looking at Qian Hao's formation, Shen Jun was a little dumbfounded. He felt more and more that this once close brother had changed. But where the specific changes are, Shen Jun can't say.
However, Qian Hao is right about one thing, their task is still arduous, and after going to the palace in the city, how to face the king and some princes and ministers is still uncertain. So Shen Jun couldn't gossip about anything else, so fortunately, he followed in silence.
It took almost an hour before they were able to get out of the bustling bazaar. And as the distance from the market increases, everyone can be considered to be able to breathe fresh air.
"Oh! I was really ...... just now," Jiang Jingwen wiped her forehead with her arm. Although there are more than a few sweat stains on it, it has a sticky feeling.
The crowds in the bazaar were so dense that the constant flow of people crowded together was almost overwhelming.
But unlike the others who put on uncomfortable faces, Shen Mengting was quite excited to quickly change her breath. She knew that as long as she walked through the bazaar, the palace would be close at hand.
Of course, this description may be an exaggeration, and the actual length of the palace from here may be an hour away. But after the snail-like walking speed of the previous market, it must not be long to travel for an hour. Moreover, the reason why the bazaar is so prosperous is precisely because of its proximity to the palace.
Thinking of this, Shen Mengting nodded quickly. But shortly thereafter, she woke up and stepped on the stirrups and got back on horseback.
'We're about to go,' said the words in her mouth, and she glanced over to the place where the palace was.
When the others saw her like this, they all got on horseback. It seems that as long as Shen Mengting 'drives', they will all follow suit and run around.
However, after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear a word of 'driving' from Shen Mengting. As a result, everyone showed a puzzled look.
Shen Mengting seemed to be thinking about something at the moment, and her eyes moved left and right on horseback. Just when Jiang Jingwen wanted to step forward to ask what was wrong, she spoke one step ahead.
"By the way, I still have something to tell you!" Although the tone is not very tough, it has an unquestionable meaning that must be heard. Shen Mengting swept her gaze over everyone's bodies one after another, and she slightly straightened the horse's body again.
"I'm going to the palace soon! But there are some things I still have to mention to you! Do you understand the meaning of the mention? That is, the rules after entering the palace!"
When everyone heard this, they didn't show much resistance. After all, they are about to go to a terrible place, and it is understandable to understand the rules in advance.
"When we get to the palace, you will be right behind me. Remember, be sure to keep up with it, but don't run around on your own. The palace is not a free place, and it is also heavily guarded. ”
Seeing that everyone was nodding, Shen Mengting continued with confidence.
"One more important point is this. After waiting for the meeting to arrive in the palace, remember not to talk casually, understand?" As she said this, Shen Mengting put one of her fingers in front of her lips.
"Huh?" Shen Jun didn't seem to understand the meaning of the words, "I know what you said before, 'don't run around'. But what does it mean to 'don't talk nonsense' after that?"
"It's not interesting! The general meaning is ......" Shen Mengting tilted her head, and there was a bit of nothingness in her eyes, "When you enter the palace, try to avoid opening your mouth!"
It seemed that it took some time for everyone to gradually digest the meaning of Shen Mengting's words. But it didn't take long for the strange-eyed faces to be fully revealed.
Shen Mengting knew where everyone's doubts were, so she directly explained to everyone, "I think I don't need to say anything more, although you don't know the rules in the palace, there is one thing you should know-more must be lost! If you don't know what to say, try to choose silence, that is the best policy!"
Jiang Jingwen nodded quickly, she didn't seem to think much about it. But the other three men were very different, and they didn't even have the slightest emotion of agreement in them.
"Huh? What do you mean...... Let's not talk the whole time?" Shen Jun's mouth was wide open, and his jaw seemed to be about to bulge.
"Almost...... That's what it means!"
Shen Jun's face also changed, from the original red style to the green version of Tie Qing, "Wow, do you mean that as long as we speak, we will cause you trouble?"
"No, I didn't mean that!" Shen Mengting hurriedly waved her hand, "Do you know? The forces in the palace are intricate, and a casual word may cause a lot of trouble. When you first set foot in this field, you don't know a lot of things yet, so I'll teach you a lot of things after a while. But today......" her tone suddenly increased by a few decibels, "you really have to remember not to talk nonsense, you know?"
The crowd didn't seem to react much, neither nodding nor shaking their heads.
"Of course, I'm not trying to put a tape on your mouth. What I mean is that you don't speak when you shouldn't. If you want to say anything, I will give the order. You understand now, right?"
Shen Mengting had already said this, and everyone nodded their heads.
"Okay! In that case, let's go!" Shen Mengting pulled the reins of her dismount and shouted the word 'drive'.
In an instant, the horse went from standing still to galloping. When the others saw this, they followed silently.
A few clatters of horses' hooves followed, and it spread almost all over the streets.
After running for a long time, Shen Mengting took the lead and stopped again. But in fact, even if she doesn't stop, everyone will still not move forward. Because the appearance and characteristics of the palace are too obvious, its luxury is almost much higher than that of the surrounding houses. Even if it is the residence of a high-ranking official and nobleman, it will be much overshadowed by the royal palace here.
As early as a long distance from the palace, Qian Hao had already seen that it was the destination. If this really came to this place, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
It's so luxurious—both of his pieces shine brightly.
"Alright! Destination...... It's here!" Shen Mengting came to the main entrance of the palace, and she immediately dismounted.
The guards outside the palace also saw her, and walked forward in this direction.
The others quickly dismounted, but their expressions were slightly uneasy.
Shen Mengting communicated with the soldiers who came, they seemed to be very familiar, and there was no sense of restraint that they should have. After talking for about five minutes, the soldiers agreed to let them go, and they took Shen Mengting to the inside of the palace.
Inside the palace gate, there is a long road, and there is a red carpet on the ground. Qian Hao knows that this is the momentum that a formal place should have.
Continuing along the long road, he saw magnificent buildings. Of course, he also knew very well that the king must not be among them.
If you want to talk about the exact location of the king, it should be a more heavily defended depth! With this thought, Qian Hao officially entered the palace with Shen Mengting in front of him. I want to talk about "Fight for Celros" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
