Chapter 43: Heroes Save Beauty
The sunset cast the inky golden afterglow, I stood in place, the last memory in my heart was the back of Shen Yi when he left, they were finally free, and they went to the place they wanted to go, and the two of them stayed together.
I suddenly missed him so much.
"Looks like you've already decided." Gong Li stood behind me at some point, his voice was clear, and in this inky golden vertigo, he woke me up from endless memories.
"I'm going to Beishao." Go to the person who might be alive and prove who I really am, and then I'm going to go to him and try again.
"I'll be with you." Gong Li was silent for a while before he whispered again, "I owe you." ”
I turned my head slightly to look at him, but I was silent, or rather, there was a deep confusion in my heart that made me acquiesce to his words. At the moment, I don't even know whether he is friend or foe, which side he is on, but only for me, he is now the only one who knows the inside story of my identity, even if he doesn't say it at the moment, he will always show flaws. I asked him, "Can you ride a horse?" ”
Gong Li hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Go change your clothes and let's go." Although I was a little repulsed by his tattered robe, it was because I didn't want to attract more attention, after all, this time we were going to sneak into Beishao.
I had a hunch that the secret I was going to unravel this time was worth the risk.
"In what capacity does the county lord plan to enter Beishao?" After a night of silence, Gong Li Zema caught up with me, slowing down behind me, and he spoke in an unexpectedly careful tone.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Although I don't want to admit that until now, I haven't been able to come up with the best way, what kind of identity to use to enter Beishao, in order to smoothly intersect with the people I need to hear, if it is business, Beishao is not a land of vast resources, although it can be self-sufficient, but it is far inferior to Nancheng.
"Now, isn't there no chance at all?" Gong Li said a word, but in an instant, Gong Li listened to something, and then reminded me, "County Lord, you listen." ”
I also heard the sound of fierce fights.
We drove our horses unhurriedly past the place where the sound came from, and Gong Li asked me very cautiously, "There are too many people on the other side, I don't know what kind of details it is, do you want to care?" ”
"It's not about me." It seems that it should be a high-ranking official and nobleman traveling, and he was robbed by bandits, this time he entered Beishao, and he was as low-key as he could, and he didn't know how much of this kind of thing would happen every day, not that I could manage it, life and death were rich and noble.
Gong Li and I turned our horses' heads and were just about to leave, but because of the last damn guilt in our hearts, we glanced sideways, and the corner of our eyes swept to the carriage.
The two horses pulling the cart staggered and fell, and the carriage suddenly lost its balance and collapsed, and two women fell out of the cart. The man dressed as a maid hurriedly climbed out of the carriage, nervously probed the carriage, and carefully helped out another woman.
She. Who is it?
The costume she was wearing turned out to be the royal family of Beishao.
"None of them will be left."
The leader of the men in black who had robbed them whispered.
Exactly such a sentence.
I've heard this voice before! The deliberately suppressed voice came into my ears, and it made me feel unexpectedly familiar and nervous.
Where the hell have I heard it?!
Look for death
I tried to search for this voice in my memory, but only these two short words coincided with this voice, looking for death, who is it?
"Let's go, let's go" Gong Li noticed that I was stunned in place, and just spoke.
The sword is unsheathed.
The cold light flashed away, and the black brocade boots gently stepped on the blades of grass stained with morning dew, and people were like a breeze blowing, and the morning dew on the leaves was dripping. The blade of the sword was able to swim in the thousands of blacks, and all of a sudden, there seemed to be a bright red gushing out, but it splashed on the black clothes, and it was impossible to tell why.
Two men in black fell to the ground.
Half-masked, only one of his eyes was revealed, and he still looked at the sudden enemy in disbelief. The others noticed that I was already standing behind them.
"It's you." The person in charge actually recognized me, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's okay, I just killed you together, and then went back to my master." ”
"It seems that you may not be able to go back, but I hope you can still return to your master under the Yellow Spring." With the sword in his hand, he turned over silently, as if he couldn't wait for this belated killing.
It turned out that I was actually the ninth son.
When the fragmented memories were finally connected by this one voice, I got more than I expected, but unfortunately, this is not what it used to be.
When you close your eyes, there is only one scene under your eyes, and that is him.
That night, he appeared impressively, I thought it was fate, but it turned out that he crushed fate and walked in front of me.
When the sword rises, there is a sound of the wind repelling each other, and the blade of the sword stabs against the wind, as if the wind is split in half, leading the wind to attack.
With a fierce murderous aura, he defused the swift attack of the blade, as comfortable and light as a swimming dragon, wandering between the sword light and sword shadow, this move, like him.
In this early morning with a light mist, the sword and sword strike each other to play a morning song.
When the sword I was holding pierced his heart, the knife in his hand was out of the way to return, he did not expect that this sword would come so quickly, he lowered his head in disbelief, looked at the blade that had not entered his chest, and fell to his knees with a thud.
Stepping past the corpses of the men in black, I stopped some distance from her, "It's okay." ”
"The moves made by Gongzi Fang just now seem to be somewhat similar to a person familiar with this palace, I don't know where he learned from." She would stop me as I was about to turn away, which was a planned step, but what she said surprised me a little.
Since she claims to be in the palace, she should be the concubine in the Beishao Palace, then the familiar person she is talking about may be Yu Wenzheng, but when she was imprisoned in Beishao, I have not seen this person, unless she entered the palace after I returned to Dongfu, looking at the age, she should be twenty-seven or eighteen, round and jade, apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, and she does not lose everyone's demeanor between her gestures, or "I came from the country of Dongfu, and my master was originally a down-and-out general, so it is not worth mentioning." I accidentally passed by and saw that there was a bad guy doing something before I made a move. ”
"Oh? Are you from the east? After listening to me, she seemed to be a little subtle, for Dongfu, she seemed to be very interested, hesitated, but still smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, there is a Zhaohua county lord in Dongfu, I don't know if the son has ever seen it." ”
"Princess." The maid beside her cautioned.
Princess? Not a concubine, but a princess?
"I don't know Childe, where are you going now?" She put away the somewhat curious look just now because of that reminder, and said seriously, "I am the princess of Beishaoni City, and I was originally scheduled to return to the palace today, but I didn't want to be ambushed here, if it wasn't for the help of my son, I'm afraid I would have died here today." ”
"Since the princess is fine, then, take your leave." It's not that I deliberately want to indulge, but I feel that she seems to be avoiding what kind of people around her in her words, so I cooperated with her to act.
"Childe stays." The eldest princess of Nicheng really spoke, and she stepped forward lightly, "This place is still far from my princess's mansion, and the accompanying guards have suffered heavy casualties, and I still don't know if there is an ambush after that." Childe is willing to escort me home, and when I arrive safely, he will be rewarded heavily. ”
"This" I think this is a good opportunity, Princess Nicheng, that is, the sister of Emperor Beishao, Yu Wenzheng's aunt, if I want to find someone, the princess's mansion is probably the best hiding place for me to Beishao on this trip, I looked at Gong Li, who was still standing in the distance and waiting with a horse, I decided, "Since it is related to the safety of the princess, I must not stand idly by." ”
I thought it would be difficult to sneak into Beishao, but I didn't expect that the hero outside the city saved the beauty and saved the princess of Nicheng, which can be regarded as God helping me. But this qiē came too simple and rude, which made Gong Li seem to be a little overly nervous, unlike me, he was very careful to observe the people in the princess's mansion all the way.
"Relax, maybe you will get to the princess's mansion in a while, and then let the guards think you are going to rob." I also deliberately lowered my voice and walked to Gong Li's side.
"I always felt that something was wrong." Gong Li only stretched his brows slightly, but he was still worried, "We were still talking about what kind of identity we were going to enter Beishao, and then this eldest princess was robbed." County Lord, don't you think this qiē seems too smooth? ”
"First of all, don't call me the county lord, call me the son." I had to show him my men's dress again, "You have to remember that the county lord of Zhaohua is already on the way to marry Nancheng at the moment, and I, Ye Jiu, the ninth prince, you know." Yu Wenzheng would never have thought that I would hide next to the eldest princess and blend into the Ochre City of Beishao Kingdom, don't worry, only you don't show your stuff, no one knows who I am. ”
"This eldest princess was almost killed by someone in an ambush outside the national capital, and the person behind the command is probably not so simple, the prince of the county, if you insist on getting involved, it will be very dangerous." Gong Li was obviously a little too obvious about the people of the Beishao royal family, but what he said was not unreasonable.
The person who dares to instruct the killer to ambush the eldest princess outside the national capital is probably the person in the Beishao Palace, although palace struggles are not uncommon, but if outsiders like us get involved, I am afraid that there will not even be scum left. "If I sue you, one of the reasons why I will agree to protect this eldest princess is that I want to find out who is behind those killers, and do you want to continue to follow me."
"Why check? This is a matter in the Beishao court, isn't it? Gong Li was puzzled.
"I remember the man." I remember that person, the man in black who was the leader, "When I heard his voice, I remembered, I remember that voice, outside Huocheng, you abandoned me and fled with Bao, it was this person at that time, who wanted to kill me, and then I met"
But it's just such a short fragment, it is when I hear that voice, when I think of it, it makes me more sure, I am the ninth prince, although I still don't know what happened, but I always feel that I am getting closer and closer to a truth that is already related to me.
"She is the eldest princess of Nicheng, Yuwenhui. It should be thirty-two years old, is the sister of Emperor Beishao, very favored, Zhao Yu, the commander of Zuo Duwei, their marriage is arranged by Emperor Beishao, the two have been married for many years but have no children, although it is rumored that the two of them are not in harmony, but the two are respectful of each other. Gong Li sighed, he had no intention of arguing with me anymore, as if he had accepted my conjecture, and said in a low voice, "If you want to check, you can start with Zhao Yu." ”
What? The person who arranged for the assassin to assassinate the eldest princess would actually be the eldest princess's concubine? It was so surprising that I suddenly felt like I was involved in an unknown battle.
"Childe." Before I had time to ask Gong Li more carefully, the carriage in front slowed down and stopped, and a maid got out of the carriage and walked up to me, I grabbed the reins and looked down at her, she lowered her eyes and replied, "Princess, please come forward and speak." ”
I drove forward and stopped beside the carriage.
The eldest princess raised the gauze curtain lightly, "Fortunately, I was escorted by the son, and I don't know how to call the son." ”
"My surname is Ye." I just suddenly remembered the name Ye Jiu, I really couldn't say it, my name is Fuyin, so I said casually, "The princess doesn't have to care too much." ”
"The grace of saving lives, if it weren't for Ye Gongzi, I am afraid that this palace would be in a different place now." She said, gently lowering the curtain, "It's too hard to talk like this, can Ye Gongzi get in the car and come to the palace for me to talk about some ordinary things to relieve my fatigue." ”
Not quite right.
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
I always feel that the person who has just escaped death is so indifferent, a little confusing, whether it is the calm atmosphere of everyone's ladies, or the bearing of a princess, but looking at her appearance, I always have a faint feeling that it is not a detachment from life and death, but she doesn't seem to have much expectation for escaping from death, perhaps, and a little disappointed.
