The bumpy mountain road and the galloping carriage could not stop my good dreams, and I was sleeping soundly, and the continuous shouts sounded in my ears, which was the rhythm that wanted to withdraw me from the dream. 【Book by】

When I opened my eyes and saw the calm face of the steward, I didn't get up.

"To the capital of Sealand?" As soon as my mind turned, I suddenly became happy.

"Do you think you are a god of sleep, sleeping for a few nights in a row, and arriving at your destination without eating or drinking, can there be such a good thing?"

"That's right." I rubbed my eyes and yawned, my unfinished dreams came to an end, and I opened the curtain and looked out at the mountain road.

It's still endless green, and looking at the glimmer of the sky, it's not dawn yet.

"What are you doing to wake me up?" I sneered and glanced at the person sitting across from me.

Ji Jiu was wearing rough clothes, which he deliberately changed before leaving last night, compared to him in the East Courtyard, it was really skytight.

The identity he took care of me last night is now two brothers, so I have to get used to this way of talking, nonsense, do you still use habits, it will change in a second, okay?

What is not used is that in the East Courtyard, he has to add the so-called "Ninth Master" from time to time when he speaks and breaks sentences, and this is not his real name!

Ji Jiu looked at me for a few seconds, looked at the clothes I was wearing with a texture similar to his, shook his head at me and said, "The things brought in the car can't last up to Sealand, and they need to be replenished in the neighboring town." ”

"You've arranged a thorough escape route, why didn't the steward even stutter and even prepare water?"

As I spoke, my eyes flickered on the steward of the same carriage as us, and the person remained calm, as if the person I was talking about was not him.

"Who told you about the escape route?" Ji Jiu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Can it be?" I thumped my sore shoulders and whispered, "When I walked last night, it was similar to a frightened bird, and now I say that it is not an escape route, not an escape, but a sightseeing route?" ”

Thinking back to the situation of leaving the bamboo garden last night, I still have some amusement.

During the day, I stayed in my room to tidy up my things. An indirect reward from Ji Jiu.

Because the empress couldn't come to the appointment in time, she felt guilty in her heart, and went to the East Courtyard with a stream of rewards, and the ones sent to Ji Jiu here were still selected by the people below.

What makes me strange is. He was so interested in these things that he couldn't get anything out of his interest.

Unlike him, I was still a little fresh, and the days in the Bamboo Garden were quiet but inevitably a little boring, and when the empress's reward arrived, he agreed, and the selection of gadgets from the big table in his room became one of the things I looked forward to the most.

I have turned out a fan with the inscription of the empress herself, depicting a pair of young men and women admiring the moon under the tree of the Sealand Palace, and I have turned out delicate silver nudes, as well as beautifully embroidered sachets. Painted pottery puppy kitten.

Time seems to have gone back to my place in the southwest, and my brother always likes to collect these new and ingenious things to make me happy.

The object has changed, the gender has changed, but the way to please is the same.

As soon as my thoughts come together, I think of someone who doesn't know where they are

I have imagined various ways for Ji Jiu to leave the bamboo garden. For example, the clothes of the squire were changed with which one of them changed their identities and slipped away quietly.

For example, there was a carriage out of the east courtyard overnight, and he hid with me in the mezzanine under the car or something.

He even thought that he would gather a group of lurking masters and fight before leaving.

As a result, all my assumptions fell through, and the way we walked was simple, simple to plain!

I said that there are two secret rooms in the ninth room of the season. The only thing I usually get in is the room outside, where all kinds of musical instruments are displayed.

Last night, I went into the room inside, no wonder he usually didn't let me in, in fact, it wasn't a secret room at all, in fact, it was just a passageway.

Wait for us to come out of the passageway. It was already about a mile away from the east courtyard at the col, and the carriage was ready and waiting for us.

The speed of the car is fast but also very steady, running non-stop on the mountain road in the morning breeze, and Ji Jiu stretched out his hand to hold the wall of the car and frowned in the shaking of inertia: "The route chosen is something that the other party can't guess, and it goes around in a circle." It took a later than expected time to arrive in the national capital. "The things originally prepared on the carriage were enough, but I was worried that the other party would send a large number of people and be fast, so the people under him stopped once and threw a lot."

It turned out that the process of throwing things must have been while I was asleep.

They must have calculated the items to be consumed at the next stop before throwing away the ones they didn't need for the time being, and I thought, "No wonder you say you have to stop in a nearby town." “

My initial impression of Sealand was when I met the Empress Sealand in the Lake Country, and I discussed the situation of Sealand with Yun Chu at that time, and then there was the rumored Sealand, which was always mentioned at inadvertent moments.

From the time I was taken captive and lived a closed life in the East Courtyard of Zealand, I did not have a chance to see the streets of Sealand.

At this moment, when I heard Ji Jiu say that he wanted to stay in the town, my feelings suddenly rose a lot, and the expression on my face became joyful.

There is still half an hour away from the town on the mountain road, and the attendant who drove the car informed us, I glanced at the scenery outside the window boredly, turned my head to look at Ji Jiudao: "Go to the capital of Zealand, where are you going to live?" "You told me that you have been living in the palace for a few years in the capital of Sealand, and now we can't drive a carriage directly into the palace, right?" "You forgot what I told you, Xiaolin, I have a few old friends in Xilan, although most of them are officials in the imperial court, but one of them can be sure that she will not reveal my whereabouts, and her residence is also large, which is more than enough to accommodate a few of us." "The court is an official?" I repeated, a hint of confusion flashed in my eyes, and then I suddenly realized: "Is it considered a confidante?" "You can only say this once in the carriage, and you must never say it again when you arrive in the capital." "Why is that?"

"Think for yourself, I'm not going to give you answers everywhere."

After a pause for a few seconds, I figured out that this term is fine to use elsewhere, but in Sealand, it always sounds a little contemptuous, and it seems that the place where women's rights are supreme is not ordinary.

"Also, don't forget your current identity, since you are dressed like this, be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise it is better to temporarily restore yourself to become a woman"

Before Ji Jiu's word "loading" was exported, the carriage shook violently a few times, and then stopped, and the steward went down to help the attendants who drove the cart.

The carriage was sunk deep into the mud on the mountain road.

"Looks like we'll have to go down." Ji Jiu opened the curtain and saw the two people pushing behind the car, and then said to me.

"Okay." I got out of the car with him one after the other, and I saw that the two people were pushing hard, and I was about to roll up my sleeves to help push together, but Ji Jiu stopped me and said, "How can I let you make a move, go and wait." ”

But if he wanted to make a move, it was not easy to say, and the attendant and steward hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

His status in the East Courtyard is transcendent, and in the long run, everyone under him obeys his words, especially the two people who came out with him this time are the most powerful of his subordinates, of course, he will not watch Ji Jiu participate in this hard work.

The two of them stopped him, and were pushing the cart down the road with great difficulty, when suddenly the sound of horses' hoofs was heard on the mountain road behind them.

A sturdy white horse came from east to west, and on top sat a girl in a white dress and white dress, who came to us like the wind and grabbed the reins suddenly.

Seeing the carriage sunken in the mud, she quickly dismounted from her horse, glanced at the wheels in the mud, and without saying a word, began to move the cart.

I was amazed by the strength of the girl, but with a few blows, the deeply immobile carriage was pushed out of place.

I immediately looked at her with adoring eyes, the girl's bright eyes and teeth, a pair of thick eyebrows made her look a little manly, she looked at the four of us.

I noticed that her gaze stayed on me for a while, and then she asked in a hearty tone, "Are you four going to Hengcheng?" ”

I quickly saluted and stepped forward to her, "Thank you for your help." "You're welcome," she brushed the white hair of her mount, "I'm from the Hengcheng Dart Bureau, I just came back from the dart, and the road ahead is almost to Hengcheng, if you don't mind, your carriage will follow me, the mountain road in Hengcheng has been raining a lot recently, and there are many landslides." "With me leading the way, it's safer, in case you encounter the situation just now, you weak men will not be in trouble."

I couldn't help laughing and endured that I was about to hurt myself, "weak man" is really a new term!

Turning his head to look at Ji Jiu, the corners of his lips were also twitching, and the other two, one in charge and the other in charge, were in charge of the car, but they didn't dare to choke with her.

One thing she said was right, the carriage that the two of them couldn't push in the quagmire, and she easily got out of trouble with a girl's house.

What is the Gap? This is the gap, the facts speak for themselves!

Second, her attitude is down-to-earth and generous, her eyes are clear and clean, although there is something in her words, but there is no malice at all.

We're in Sealand now, get used to it, get used to it!

After some deliberation, Ji Jiu, who is the elder brother, agreed to the girl's suggestion.

She led the way, the carriage following closely behind her mount, and after walking some distance, the trail was finally finished, and along the downhill road, the shadow of a town about a dozen miles away could be faintly seen.

The girl on the white horse slowed down and walked side by side with our carriage on the wide road, and I subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked sideways at her heroic posture on horseback.

It's been a long time since I've seen someone who is a great rider!

Xu was looking at me with envy, she turned to me and smiled, "What's your name?" ”

"Little Grove."

"Xiao Lin, I see that you are very familiar, like I have seen you somewhere," the white horse girl paused and said, "My surname is Gu, I just said, I am the dart master of the Hengcheng Dart Bureau." "How many days are you going to stay in Hengcheng?"
