Chapter 201: Eastbound
Early the next morning, Tang Yinbrown just went out, and met Liu Siqi with his hands clasped in front of his chest, leaning against the wall, looking at him, his smile was full of playfulness.
Tang Yinbrown lowered his head slightly and smiled, but he didn't flinch, stepped forward and bowed.
"Uncle ......"
As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Liu Siqi raising his hand.
"You don't have to explain it to me." Liu Siqi said, laughed helplessly, shook his head and said: "You may think it's ridiculous to say it, if you really listened to what I said last night, and there was no movement all night, I would be worried." With the warm jade in his arms, he can still sit in his arms without messing around, and he doesn't say that he is a gentleman or not, I'm afraid that even a man can't be counted. ”
Tang Yinbrown only smiled when he heard this, noncommittal.
When leaving, Liu Siqi personally helped Xin Zi onto the white tiger, insisting on watching the group leave, rather than becoming the one who was sent off.
Before leaving, he stuffed a medicine bottle to Ah Zi, and whispered: "You newlywed Yan'er, it is when you are like glue, it is natural that you will not be able to restrain yourself, I can't stop you, just remember that the pills in this bottle are one pill a day, until Tang Yinbrown gets out of the Dongyuan Imperial Court, and you can only stop when you are sure that you can settle down, understand?" ”
Xin Zi nodded, her face even redder than Chaoxia.
Liu Siqi smiled and said, "I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself in the future." Tang Yinbrown can be relied on, but he can't rely on him completely. Remember, if you can't get into Tokyo, try not to get in. Even if the sky falls, you must never set foot in the Dongyuan Palace for half a step, understand? ”
Ah Zi raised his head sharply when he heard this, and looked at Liu Siqi speechless.
That's the advice. It turned out to be exactly the same as the order of the Empress Dowager when she left the Xiyu Palace.
Behind the palace wall in the east, is it really that terrible?
***
Leaving the Golden Forest, without the hindrance of witches and orcs, the group traveled thousands of miles in a day as if they were in a no-man's land, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in the territory of the Eastern Plains.
Stepping back on this long-lost homeland, everyone's face is full of emotion.
This year-long secret mission is finally coming to an end, looking back on the imprints left in my heart by the previous tribulations, and the moment when I stepped on the yellow earth of my homeland. It's all wiped out.
"Big brother!"
Tang Yinzhong suddenly shouted behind him. Stretch out your hand and point into the distance.
Tang Yinhao, who had already stared at the row of horses that had rolled up countless dust in the distance, only nodded slightly, frowning at the group of cavalry that was quickly approaching, and it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
Tang Yinzhong had already drawn a feather arrow behind him and filled his bow. Point to the one that is rushing forward.
Tang Yinbrown waved his hand. motioned for Tang Yinzhong to put down his bow. A shallow smile gradually appeared in the corner of his eye.
The first horse at the head rushed to the front, and stopped sharply less than a hundred steps away from Tang Yinbrown and his party, only then did he see that the armor on the black horse was shining in the setting sun. A three-pointed, two-edged knife with a height of one person in his hand is daunting.
The man on the horse was burly, and after standing still, he turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to Tang Yinbrown and his party, knelt on one knee, put down the knife, bowed his head and saluted, and shouted in a deep voice:
"The last general, Yan Chaoyang, is late for escort, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins."
This sentence was just ten numbers, but the information brought out made Xin Zi slow down for a long time.
Escort? Princess?
There is only one woman in this group except himself, and the princess in the mouth of this general-like man must not be talking about himself, then it can only be one person.
Ah Zi and everyone set their eyes on Bao'er, who was sitting calmly on the white horse at this time.
With a faint smile on her face, Bao'er replied calmly: "Commander Yan, please get up quickly." ”
The man who called himself Yan Chaoyang respectfully answered "yes", and then he got up, his eyes met Tang Yinbrown, and both of them bowed their heads slightly, which was regarded as greeting each other.
After that, Yan Chaoyang got up and personally led the horse for Bao'er, and when he reached the position of the Xiao cavalry troops, he jumped back onto his black horse, pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and walked side by side with Tang Yinbrown and Bao'er.
"Commander Yan came to greet me on the orders of the emperor?" Bao'er turned her head and asked curiously.
Yan Chaoyang, as the commander of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, is one of the few courtiers in the entire Dongyuan who only obeys His Majesty the Emperor's orders, and naturally nodded "yes" when he heard this.
Bao'er had a satisfied smile on her face, thinking of the old emperor's kind face, her eyes softened, but when she thought that she had been away for so long, she was afraid that she had already been wrong, so she sighed lightly and asked again: "Grandpa, how is his old man's health?" Is everything okay? ”
Yan Chaoyang replied a little reluctantly, and only added a sentence at the end: "When the princess enters the palace and sees Your Majesty, she will naturally be clear." ”
But whether he can see the old emperor or not is not up to him.
Thinking of this, Yan Chaoyang's face couldn't help but sink slightly: as one of the few remaining henchmen of the Emperor Gaotian, it was even more difficult to meet His Majesty now, and the last time was half a month ago, and it was still in a hurry under the "accompaniment" of King Qi.
Bao'er nodded, understanding the pain and not asking any more.
Tang Yinbrown said unhurriedly: "Commander Yan wants to escort the princess all the way back to the palace on this trip?" ”
Yan Chaoyang turned his head to Tang Yinbrown and said: "Exactly, Your Majesty once privately said to the last general that he misses the princess very much, and has not been able to protect the little princess, so that the princess has suffered outside for many years, and now the princess has come back after a lot of hardships, Your Majesty has nothing to do, I hope you can see the little princess soon." Only then did I stay on this road from west to north to east half a month ago, so that as soon as I took over the princess, I would rush back to the palace as soon as possible. ”
Tang Yinbrown nodded, and asked Yan Chaoyang how many guards there were, and how strong the strength was, and determined that it was more than enough to escort Bao'er back to the city, and then said, "There is a reluctant request below." ”
Yan Chaoyang raised his hand and said, "Lord Tang, please speak." ”
"My brothers and I escorted the princess all the way here, which can be regarded as a worthy mission. Since Commander Yan was ordered to escort the princess into the palace, can he take a few days off from the next day, and after dealing with his private affairs, he will enter the palace immediately. ”
Yan Chaoyang looked puzzled when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just ...... Lord Tang didn't want to send the princess into the palace in person? ”
Originally, the dirtiest and most tiring job was to go back and forth across most of the enemy continents, and escort the princess back to China at the risk of splitting her head anytime and anywhere. Now that this part of the work is completed, only the last thing left is to bring the princess into the palace and hand it over to the Emperor Gaotian, just waiting for the beauty of receiving the reward, but Tang Yinbrown wants to give it to Yan Chaoyang, which makes him full of surprises At the same time, he is really deserved.
