Volume 1 Chapter 026 The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
Got up so early?
It's really unanimous...... Hungry.
The corners of Xia Qingxiao's mouth pulled into a playful smile, and they glanced at Han Baimo and Xia Chujun respectively. Although the two of them sat at two separate tables, how could she feel the smell of exuberant hormones in the air? It seems that Xia Chujun is really interested in Han Baimo.
Suddenly, an unignorable gaze looked at her, Xia Qingxiao looked at her coldly, Huo Shuai stared at her with a cold face, defensively.
How does it feel like his gaze is guarding against a thief?
Scratching her head, where did she behave like a thief? How bright and bright is it?
Immediately afterwards, Xia Chujun also looked at her, and did not hide his surprise when he saw her, "Second sister? ”
"Well, I can't sleep in another place, why do you get up so early?" Xia Qingxiao nodded and replied.
"Me too, I suddenly changed places and couldn't sleep peacefully, the second sister was hungry, right? I ordered some porridge and buns, let's eat some first. Xia Chujun asked with a good attitude, Yu Guang glanced at Han Baimo, she deliberately got up early and waited until she waited for him, but it turned out that Xia Qingxiao also came in a quarter of an hour.
Originally, she planned to take the opportunity to have a few words with him, but she didn't expect that there was still no chance, she couldn't reveal Han Baimo's true identity in front of Xia Qingxiao.
"Thanks, no need. It's not dawn yet, me
instructed the shopkeeper to send the finished buns directly to her room, and then went upstairs directly.
Xia Chujun saw that Xia Qingxiao did not stay, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There were only four of them on the first floor of the entire inn. Including their respective handmaidens and guards. Xia Chujun was apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know how to break the deadlock first. There were two reasons why she didn't dare to speak first, one was that she wasn't sure how he would react after she spoke, and how would she respond if she was to protect her whereabouts? Second, he has always been cold-hearted and ruthless, and he has never seen him look sideways for anyone, and she has no confidence that he will notice her. If she had saved the impression of recklessness in his eyes, she would have gained more than she gained.
So, at the moment, she is struggling.
Soon, the shopkeeper delivered the porridge and buns that had just been made.
She glanced at it, Han Baimo was the same as her, they were porridge and buns, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes, they used to like the same things.
If Xia Qingxiao knew what Xia Chujun was thinking at this moment, he would definitely laugh out loud, this is an inn, and it is also a small county town, and the breakfast can still be a full banquet? Only porridge and buns! If you eat something different, it's weird!
However, apparently Xia Chujun didn't realize it, her face was full of happy smiles, at this moment, she felt that the distance between her and him was very close, not like before, he was the mountain that could only be seen but could not be climbed.
Entering the inn from outside, he walked to Huo Shuai's side and whispered a few words, and then Huo Shuai said to Han Baimo with a slightly calm face: "Master, I can't leave now." ”
Han Baimo nodded, and his slender hand picked up the teacup and took a few sips. Huo Shuai leaned over and whispered in his ear: "The emperor died suddenly, His Royal Highness the Four Kings succeeded in assassinating the crown prince, and ascended the throne two days ago. Your Highness, it is not appropriate to return to the capital at this time. ”
In just two months, the capital has changed dramatically! If you return to the capital, Your Highness will definitely die!
His Royal Highness the Four Kings was so ruthless that he assassinated the emperor and the prince together!
It was so sudden!
Han Baimo's hand holding the teacup moved almost invisibly, his face became more and more gloomy and cold, and his expression was unpredictable. After a while, he spoke, "Let's go." ”
"Your Highness!" His Royal Highness the Four Kings must have set up an ambush in the capital, if it wasn't for the emperor ordering His Royal Highness to go to the border to inspect and handle the case two months ago, how could His Royal Highness the Four Kings take the opportunity to make trouble! Now that His Royal Highness the Four Kings has ascended the throne, the capital is one place, and it is extremely dangerous!
"Address this king, King Yan." Han Baimo's eyes were cold, and he said coldly.
Huo Shuai was stunned, "...... Lord, by all means. ”
When Huo Shuai wanted to continue to persuade him, another person came in, and he also whispered a few words in Huo Shuai's ear. Huo Shuai's face became more and more cold.
"Lord Wang, things have changed, the killer has caught up, and he is only fifty miles away from us." Huo Shuai said in a low voice.
Han Baimo picked up the cup and slowly drank a few sips of tea, the eyes covered by the cup flashed over the eyes, sharp and strong. When the teacup was lowered, the dark pupils were as calm as the vast sea under the dark clouds.
"Back to the capital."
Huo Shuai didn't say much, although the capital is dangerous, but anywhere outside the capital is a dangerous place, back to the capital, under the control of the eight great families, His Royal Highness the Four Kings resolutely did not dare to act chaotically at the beginning of his ascension to the throne! What's more, His Royal Highness the Four Kings doesn't have the courage to harm His Highness openly!
Xia Chujun had unconsciously drunk a whole bowl of porridge, and only after drinking it did he raise his head and look at Han Baimo seemingly casually, keenly aware that something was wrong.
The aura around Han Baimo's body seemed to be even colder than just now.
In a moment, what happened?
By the time she wanted to find out, Han Baimo had already gotten up and quickly left the inn. She sat in a daze, and after a short encounter, she couldn't say a word? What's going on? He left in such a hurry, something must have happened.
Outside, it was a little bright and foggy, and one or two people passed by occasionally on the street, and they could hardly see people's faces clearly.
A soft sigh.
Seeing this, Fang Fei asked with concern, "Why is Miss sighing?" ”
"It's nothing, let's go back to our room and rest." Xia Chujun retracted his thoughts and got up.
An hour later.
The Xia family set off again.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanjiao was a lot quieter today, and she didn't say anything annoying after seeing Xia Qingxiao.
Xia Qingxiao glanced at Xia Yi, it should be his credit. It seems that Xia Yi has a very good set of discipline women, and Xia Wanjiao, who doesn't know the height of the sky, can be obedient overnight, so it can be seen that he is very good at training women.
This way, starting today, has been quiet.
Half a month later.
State City.
It has been raining for days, and they have been trapped in the state city for two days.
When they arrived at the state city, it had been raining on the road for two days, and it had been raining in the state city for ten days, and the road to the capital was basically muddy and difficult to walk, so they could only wait for the weather to clear before setting off.
At the same time, they got a message.
The first emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne half a month ago! And Xia Chujun received a letter from the capital, and all the women who came to the draft from all over the country did not have to return, and stayed in the capital for half a year, and then conducted the draft. However, now it's for the new emperor draft!
