Chapter 68
Coming out of the princess's palace, Mei Ru followed behind Fu Zheng, furrowed her eyebrows and pursed her lips, and she had already regained her calm. Fu Zheng's face in front was particularly ugly, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, revealing a terrifying chill. The two of them didn't say a word, just walked quietly outside the palace. The Xiqiang Palace is not as luxurious as the Forbidden City, and has a unique sense of simplicity and heaviness. The vigorous palace wall fingertips, the remnant sun is like blood, and the figures of the two people are obliquely elongated.
Out of the palace, a carriage was parked outside, and Fu Zheng went straight to open the curtain and enter. Mei Ru took a step behind, she looked left and right, Fu Zheng in the car had already glanced at her coldly, and said, "This king has something to explain." The tone was cold and hard, and I don't know why I was angry.
Now that she is out of the house, Mei Ru doesn't say much, just gets into the car neatly.
In order to act conveniently, she wears a convenient skirt, and her black hair is tied into a man's bun, and she is quite heroic in her gestures.
In the carriage, Fu Zheng sat in the first place, and Mei Ru sat calmly against the window.
Glancing at her coldly again, Fu Zheng frowned: "What did you say in front of the princess just now?!" ”
"I didn't say anything," Mei Ru said without changing her face, "but I just translated what His Highness said more gently." ”
When she returned to Tu, Mei Ru had already turned over the words for Fu Zheng once, and she was also familiar with the road, but this time it was really weird to be in the middle of the two. The princess looked at Fu Zheng with blank eyes, both in love and affection, but Fu Zheng frowned coldly everywhere, and spoke as cold as ice slag. Therefore, in order not to anger the princess, Mei Ru reduced the meaning of Fu Zheng's words a little, such as Fu Zheng drank coldly, the princess please respect herself, Mei Ru turned it over, the princess please let go, Fu Zheng said again, the princess is young, this move is really a big joke in the world, Mei Ru said, the princess is young, and we will discuss it later......
Glancing at Mei Ru with a complicated expression, Fu Zheng rarely explained in a deep voice: "It's not what you think." ”
Mei Ru frowned, and choked unceremoniously: "How does Your Highness know what I think?" ”
Too lazy to argue with this girl, Fu Zheng just reminded: "That princess is definitely not to be underestimated, although she is young, she has a deep mind, don't think about it crookedly." ”
"Who wants to be crooked?" Mei Ru was not convinced, she said, "Although I don't know what the history of His Royal Highness and this princess is, I can also see that His Royal Highness doesn't want to have anything to do with this princess, so I naturally won't talk about it everywhere with my head." "Fu Zheng's methods of dealing with people, Mei Ru knows, there is no need to contradict him on this.
Hearing Mei Ru's words, Fu Zheng bent the corners of his mouth and finally smiled. The smile of this approval was very shallow, and it became colder in an instant, Fu Zheng said coldly: "The main thing the princess wants is 'you go back and talk about this matter', if the father knows that the king and this little doll are not clear, I am afraid that the father will suspect the king!" In the end, Fu Zheng's words were full of chills.
After being silent, Mei Ru still answered: "But ......"
"But what?" Fu Zheng turned his eyes and looked over, and he became in a good mood again, it was rare for this person to take the initiative to talk to him a few words.
Mei Ru said: "In my opinion, that princess's intentions for Her Highness may not all be fake. "Women look at women most accurately. The sight of the princess poked at her body before, tsk, I can't wait to poke two holes directly. If she knew that Fu Zheng was going to marry Zhou Suqing, she didn't know how many holes she would have to poke.
Hearing this, Fu Zheng's whole body became cold, and his hands were clutched in his cuffs, wishing that he could strangle the person in front of him.
Mei Ru smiled and said, "Your Highness, I will never say it to Miss Zhou." ”
The hand clenched tighter, Fu Zheng only looked at her and asked, "You don't mind?" ”
"What do I mind?" Mei Ru only felt ridiculous, she looked at Fu Zheng, and said with an extremely calm face, "Please don't laugh anymore, Your Highness." ”
Her words were too cold, her gaze was too straight, poking in her heart like a knife.
Fu Zheng turned his eyes away and looked to the side.
The carriage was quiet, and Mei Ru also looked at her nose and nose and thought about the future arrangement.
Suddenly, Fu Zheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, he leaned over slightly and opened the curtain next to him, and looked out with a pair of eyes, slightly aggressive.
This person was close, it was all a man's strong breath, Mei Ru was not very comfortable, and was about to move to the side, suddenly, Fu Zheng pressed her shoulder, "Don't move!" He whispered.
Meiru froze.
The shoulder he held down was like a deep and long silver needle, and I am afraid that it was still stained with poison, and half of her body could not move. But this person was close, and the warm breath blew through...... Mei Ru was a little annoyed. She dodged back, and when she glared at her coldly, Fu Zheng had already withdrawn his hand and sat back, and he said expressionlessly: "This king is abrupt, but something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong?" Mei Ru's face was cold, and her heart became more and more annoyed.
Fu Zheng didn't speak again, only closed his eyes and recuperated. Mei Ru opened the curtain and looked out. But what's wrong with it? The only thing that is wrong is that I am afraid that I have just passed through a green building!
Mei Ru lowered the curtain, lowered her eyes lightly, and her face became colder and colder.
The shoulder that was pressed by Fu Zheng was stiff.
On this day and night, Xiqiang held a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys of the Great Wei Dynasty, but because the princess did not attend, Mei Ru did not go. She stayed in the post house, and Jingqin and Yichan waited for Meiru to freshen up. This way to the west, after traveling for more than half a month, Mei Ru did not find a chance to freshen up. From Yumen Pass to the capital of Xiqiang, this road is full of yellow sand, the lack of water is terrible, only here, the water of the Tianchi can be irrigated to irrigate the oasis.
Lao Fu Yi Cheng boiled hot water, and Mei Ru took a good bath.
Nowadays, the room is full of mist and fog. Her coat was hanging on the screen, and Mei Ru was still very unhappy in her eyes, only feeling extremely annoying and disgusting. She frowned and explained to Jingqin: "Put away this dress and burn it when you get home!" ”
Jingqin didn't ask much, just quickly rolled it up and put it back in the baggage.
Mei Ru got up from the bathtub, dried herself, and changed into clean clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of bitterness is really not something that ordinary delicate and soft girls can bear, and speaking of which, Mei Ru is also a little disgusted with her dirty. Sometimes the wind blows with sand on the face, which is cracked and cracked.
At this time, her hair was wet, and she hung down softly behind her, Yichan wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and said, "Girl, this road is windy and sandy, and I will apply a little more perfume later." ”
Mei Ru smiled helplessly: "What are you doing with such a fragrance?" ”
While the master and servant were talking, there was a bustling commotion outside the courtyard. -- The post houses in the capital of Xiqiang are not large, and they are all one courtyard with one courtyard. They took care of Mei Ru as a girl, and gave her a small separate yard in the innermost part. Now, although it is in the innermost, the noise outside can still be heard. Mei Ru knew that this was Lord Sun and Lord Yu, and they had come back from eating wine. It seems that it is the nature of literati to love wine since ancient times, and after eating wine, these people love to talk highly, debate the scriptures and clarify the righteousness, and their voices are not small, and no one is convinced.
After listening with her ears pricked up for a while, Mei Ru only felt that these people were also cute, so old, they were still arguing about the word "reason". Not long after, everyone returned to their courtyards one after another, and it was quiet outside again. Mei Ru realized that without these voices, the night here would be extremely quiet, without even a trace of insect chirping, and there would not even be a trace of any living movement. Mei Ru looked outside through the window screen, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse today, and tomorrow should be a good day.
Her hair was not dry, and she sat under the candle in her small jacket and read.
The night was dark, the candle flame was faint, and after only sitting for a short while, Mei Ru's upper and lower eyelids began to fight. She has been working hard in the past few days, and her eyes are blue and black.
It's still cold at night. Jingqin made the stove and warmed the quilt, and went over to ask, "Girl, rest early." ”
Thinking that tomorrow she would have to discuss the cession of land with the court, Mei Ru nodded.
It was warm in the bed, and she fell asleep within a quarter of an hour of getting in. Jingqin put down the bed curtain and rested next door with Yichan.
Mei Ru woke up again because she heard a bang, very loud, very heavy, and then the two doors were creaked and creaked by the wind, and those winds swept the bed curtain, fluttering and flickering, Mei Ru came to her senses, she opened her eyes, turned over and lifted the bed curtain-
I saw a dark figure standing in front of the bed!
Thin, tall, with a pair of sharp eyes, red, as if to be bloodthirsty!
Mei Ru was startled, and immediately hurriedly took the quilt to protect herself, "Who?" She shouted. After asking this sentence, Mei Ru recognized that this gloomy figure was Fu Zheng!
Mei Ru's scalp was numb, and she was extremely angry: "What is Your Highness doing?" ”
"Put on your clothes and go with this king!" Fu Zheng was solemn and his face was solemn.
As he spoke, Mei Ru heard some very strange movements outside, like a clanging sound, and like the wind whistling and whimpering. Goodbye to the fire shining in the window behind this person, I'm afraid that there is water somewhere! Mei Ru immediately sat up, touched a long jacket and put it on, but this person was still in front of her, and she was only wearing the girl's middle pants underneath, in front of the man-
Mei Ru was still hesitating, Fu Zheng had exhausted her patience, unceremoniously lifted her quilt, and said expressionlessly: "Quick!" Don't grind! So saying, the man grabbed her by the arm and ran out.
Mei Ru kicked her shoes indiscriminately, and was pulled by him, and the wolf was terrible.
When she got outside, Mei Ru really noticed that something was wrong, only to see that the fire outside was soaring into the sky, the fire was burning very strongly, running high, in addition, there was a kind of roar, piercing the sky, and there was a clanging sound.
This kind of voice Mei Ru was very familiar in her previous life, and she groaned slightly, and then reacted - it was an arrow!
Someone is shooting arrows into it!
They're bad!
Mei Ru's heart sank, and she tried to run next door to call the two maids, but as soon as she moved, an arrow feather burst into the wind and shot into the doorpost on her side! The arrow was on fire, and perhaps tung oil was poured on it, and all of a sudden, the fire quickly broke out. At the same moment, there was another strong wind behind her, and Mei Ru was about to turn her head to dodge, when she heard a bang, and the arrow was blocked back by Fu Zheng with a sword!
Mei Ru then realized that he was holding a sword in his hand, and there was blood on the tip of the sword, and there was also blood on his robe, which was dull, red, and had an unpleasant fishy smell.
Mei Ru fell silent for a moment.
Fu Zheng didn't speak, still holding her arm and running out. They are here in the innermost courtyard, and it is even more difficult to get out, and I don't know how Fu Zheng came here before...... However, the arrows that fell into the courtyard became denser and denser, more and more urgent, dotted with stars, some were quenched with poison, some were stained with fire, it was simply difficult to move an inch!
Mei Ru was hidden behind him, and suddenly, she said, "Your Highness, my maid-"
Fu Zheng didn't stop at his feet, and only said coldly: "Leave it to the guards." ”
Mei Ru had to say something, but the man Huo suddenly hugged her, and quickly protected her in his arms.
The man's breath came to her face, and she was held by Fu Zheng like this and pressed against his chest...... Mei Ru's head was about to explode. This person's hoop was a little tight, and Mei Ru struggled hard, but in an instant, Fu Zheng let go of her.
Mei Ru frowned coldly, and was about to open her mouth to scold him fiercely, but suddenly she paused again......
I saw an arrow piercing Fu Zheng's right shoulder from behind and forward. The arrow glowed with silver light, and it was clearly poisonous. Mei Ru was stunned, and the words she wanted to scold were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it anymore. Fu Zheng had a calm face, didn't say a word, held a sword in his left hand, half-hugged and half-protected her with his right hand, and found another way to rush out.
The fire was blazing all the way, and there were screams everywhere, and the smell of burning, which smoked into people's eyes and drilled into people's noses, was a cold and real death. Mei Ru seemed to faintly hear Lord Sun's wail, and the voice was sent along the wind, as if she had crawled out of the hell of Ah Nose, Mei Ru couldn't help but shudder.
Fu Zheng hugged her tighter.
Mei Ru looked at him: "Your Highness......"
Fu Zheng said in a deep voice: "This king can't save so much. ”
As he spoke, he blocked a few more arrows, and a man in black chased after him from behind, Fu Zheng directly stabbed the sword into the man's chest, clean and neat, without even the slightest hesitation, he only had a cold face and left with Mei Ru.
Throwing the chasing soldiers, Fu Zheng didn't take Mei Ru far away, he found a remote corner to observe the post house, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles.
Mei Ru was protected by him inside, and she couldn't see anything. It was only at this time that she barely came to her senses and asked, "How is Your Highness?" ”
Fu Zheng coldly retracted his gaze, he didn't speak, only pursed his lips, and folded the arrow and arrow tail respectively.
Mei Ru looked at him, the man's body was tense, he should be in pain. Fu Zheng took a breath, rested, and looked at him with heavy eyes.
He said, "Let's find a place to hide for the night, and find a way to get out of the city tomorrow." ”
