Chapter 207: Not Entering the Stream
Now that it is winter, the river must be cold, although it is expected, but Li Wei was still so cold that it almost froze the moment she entered the water.
The two of them jumped into the water behind the cabin, and there were also many guards to protect them, but the assassin did not find out in time, but let the two dive farther, Cui Cheng and Li Wei floated up, showing their heads and breathing desperately.
"No, my feet seem to be cramping." Li Wei secretly hated that she was in poor health.
"Your Majesty, you go ashore first, stay this way, it's almost time to get to the ground." Cui Cheng endured the pain in his feet and tried his best to swim forward with His Majesty.
The two of them slashed through the reeds, but they heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air and slowly approached, and Cui Cheng hurriedly took her to continue dive. The water flow was a little faster, and it was raining lightly in the sky, and the two of them followed the water downstream without difficulty, Cui Cheng saw that the rapids in front of him were not good, "Your Majesty, there is a whirlpool in front of you for no reason, let's go this way." β
"The water has become muddy." Li Wei felt that things had changed, "What happened upstream?" β
"I'm afraid it's the heavy rain that washed away the mud and rocks, so we need to hurry."
"Your Majesty, hold on tight, don't get swept up."
Li Wei only felt that her body was pushed by a force, and the whole person retreated from the whirlpool.
Cui Cheng was swept into it by a whirlpool.
"Your Majesty, you go quickly!"
Li Wei was hit by a rushing current, and couldn't find anything to hold in her hand at all, until she was swept away by the current, and she swam desperately for an unknown amount of time, and then she reached the shore, covered in mud.
She coughed a few times, and her mind was still the situation of Cui Cheng falling into the whirlpool, she was shivering with cold, but she didn't have half the strength, and she couldn't speak hoarsely in her throat.
After half a day, she got up and walked forward tremblingly, looking back to see that the footprints had been washed away by the rain, and then she was relieved again. This situation is so similar, if not more so, than when she first came into this world.
She rubbed her hands desperately to keep the temperature warm, and she could hear the sound of some wheels pressing in front of her, and she pushed Ke Ke was now in this barren mountain in the west, which was a little desperate.
Qingyi and Cui Yue blocked the assassins, resisted for half an hour, and a secret guard arrived and killed all the assassins, leaving a questioner behind the scenes, and the assassin still did not speak, Cui Yue stabbed the result.
"ζΒ’β dΗngΒ’β diΗnΒ’β ε°Β’β said, .β.β§os_ (); We don't have much time, so we have to do our best to find your majesty. "The assassin's whereabouts, he thinks the prince should be clear, so it doesn't have to take too much time.
They searched downstream and found the unconscious Cui Cheng, who had been hit by an arrow in the foot.
"Ah Xing, you take them to continue searching, and a few of you take Cui Cheng into the city for treatment."
Qingyi: "Your Majesty estimates that you have gone ashore, and you shouldn't go too far." β
Li Wei didn't go too far, but she encountered the kidnappers again. She had dodged a dilapidated carriage, but the carriage stopped again, and a big man came down, wearing a dress in the winter, partial and sharp-eyed, and saw the place where she was hiding at a glance, and came to arrest people without saying a word, Li Wei didn't have the strength to run, and before she took two or three steps, she was picked up, and then mentioned the carriage, and seemed to be afraid that she would call someone, so she was directly dumb.
Your sister, I couldn't open my mouth in the first place, what do I do with my dumb hole. Li Wei glanced at the big man, he also looked over, pointed to the carriage and said:
"Lie down."
Li Wei shook her head, was glared at by him, and stretched out her hand to freeze her.
Li Wei was completely stunned for a moment, her big eyes didn't know where to look, but she saw that people ignored her, sitting next to the coachman's position, leaving her alone in the carriage staring at the air.
After a while, the coachman said, "Tinda, what are we going to do if the people here are wrong?" β
Dahan: "You can't be wrong. Three stars on the neck. β
The coachman seemed frightened, "Hey, then, then we have to say hello, you be polite." β
"Freeze, she won't lie down."
"Y-Oh, what are you going to do? Take it! The coachman suddenly gave the reins to the big man, and when he entered the carriage, he happened to meet Li Wei's inexplicable gaze, and immediately folded his hands, "I'm sorry girl, no, Your Majesty, it's our rudeness." β
ιxiΓ ? Do they know who they are? Li Wei's heart fluctuated a few times, and she didn't know what the identities of the two were.
"We are not bad people, nor are we assassins, we are looking for you in the name of the young master. First of all, I will unlock the acupuncture points for you. The coachman, with his dark face and small eyes, said that he was closer, and said embarrassedly, "The villain is ugly, don't be afraid." β
He stretched out his hand, Li Wei could move and speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, "Who are you?" β
He hurriedly took the water and handed it to her, "We are the young master's people. β
Young master? Li Wei thought for a moment and took the water bottle, "Brother Lu Xiao?" β
"Eh, yes, yes, that's the name, we can't just call it. Drink your saliva first, your voice is damaged. The swarthy coachman was a little uncomfortable on the sidelines, looking left and right, and did not know what to ask.
After drinking a few sips of water, Li Wei's voice finally became more comfortable, "How do you know who I am, and how do you know that I am here?" β
Listening to the girl's weak voice, and calling myself again, the coachman's nervousness gradually subsided, "The young master has always known your location, and we followed the tracking bird, and Ding Da saw the mark on your neck again, so he guessed that it was." I can't help it, Ding Da is too reckless and can't speak. β
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I thank you for saving me." Although she wrote down the account to the big man, the bad guy meant to do a good deed.
"Your Majesty is serious, this is all a small matter, a small matter." The coachman rubbed his hands together and got up uncomfortably, "I, I'll go out and keep an eye on the carriage, Your Majesty, rest and rest." β
Li Wei didn't let him out, "What's your name?" β
"Ding Bei, back to His Majesty, the villain's name is Ding Bei." His Majesty was able to ask his name in person, and Ding Bei felt too honored.
Li Wei: "Where is the carriage going now?" How far is it from the Golden Palace? β
"Rest assured, before sunset, you will be able to enter the city."
"Lend me a set of your clothes." Li Wei had long been impatient with her soaking wet and half-dry little clothes, and seeing that both of them had baggage, they must have brought clothes.
Ding Bei's face was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, your majesty, the villain's clothes are too much-"
"Isn't it clean? Just be dry, bring it. Li Wei also asked him to hand over the burden by the official authority at this time, Ding Bei didn't seem to be embarrassed, so he opened the burden himself, picked a piece that he thought was more clean and decent and handed it to her, "This one is better." β
Li Wei took it, "Thank you, you go out for a while, I'll change my clothes." β
"Eh, yes, yes!" Ding Bei immediately lifted the curtain and returned to the driver's position, and tightened the curtain with his hand, signaling Ding Da not to go in and peek with his eyes.
Entering the city needs to be investigated, Li Wei wanted to pretend to be sick, but Ding Da agreed, but directly put on makeup for her, changed her face, and lay in the carriage, and the two brothers took care of it outside.
said that they were two brothers, but their appearance and personality were very different, Li Wei shook her head and smiled, fortunately she met these two people, otherwise how would she go on this trip? Brother Lu Xiao's tracking bird is a good thing.
After entering the city, the three abandoned the carriage and checked into the inn.
Li Wei was extremely tired, so she went to rest after eating. When she went out for breakfast the next day, she realized that some rumors in Kyoto had made her uneasy.
Ding Da and Ding Bei also heard the conversation of the people, and knew that His Majesty might have to stay for a while, so they stayed by the side and listened to the people chatting back and forth.
"Isn't His Royal Highness King Yi disobedient? How can there be a marriage contract? β
"That's the queen's decree, King Yi, as a junior, can't just say no, right?"
"Look at Princess Lotus and His Royal Highness King Yi, they are talented men and women, they are right, it's a pity, Luohua is intentionally ruthless, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi doesn't like Princess Lotus so much, and this time I returned to China to withdraw from my family."
"Where did you get this news?"
"There are rumors on the Beichen side that their Lord Regent and His Majesty the Beichen Kingdom are a couple, and His Royal Highness King Yi is very indifferent to Princess Lian at the palace banquet, and a discerning person can see at a glance that he can't fake it."
"That's a pity, Princess Lian's beauty can be called the first in our Xiyi, and the hero of King Yi is not blessed."
"Oh, that's not necessarily, I heard that His Majesty Beichen is even better."
"Dude, have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it, but people have held a verification meeting, the people of Beichen are really blessed, and they have seen all the Beichen royal family, and the people in our Xiyu royal family are always secretive, and a few people in the royal family have jumped a little bit of the king's temperament, and they can rarely see it, and our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more difficult to see, I heard that the queen mother will not let him leave the palace at all."
"Naturally, you can't get out of the palace, and you can't be embarrassed?"
"Shhhh
"What are you afraid of, I heard that the Sui people have arrived in the Golden Palace, and the king is busy receiving it, so there are no guards to patrol and stir up trouble at this time."
"That's not an ordinary Sui people, but the patriarch of the Sui people! I heard that I came back with His Royal Highness King Yi, no one doesn't understand what this means, right? β
"His Royal Highness King Ke Yi is the regent of Beichen Kingdom, how can he be elected as the crown prince of our country again?"
Li Wei and the three of them were listening attentively, but they heard Xiao Er shouting loudly: "Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about the royal family, all the guests eat and drink, our small shop business can't stand the toss." β
As soon as these words came out, the three of them did not hear any useful news. However, Ding Bei inquired about it later, and now Guan Qianyi no longer lives in the palace outside the palace, but lives in the palace.
"Two heroes, I heard that Brother Lu Xiao often mentions his friends, there are many craftsmen, and they are also familiar with Kyoto in the Western Kingdom, I don't know if there is any way to help me infiltrate the Golden Palace?"
The two brothers glanced at each other, and Ding Bei said embarrassedly, "Yes, there is, but the method is relatively unpopular." β
"As long as you can get in, it doesn't matter if it enters the stream or not, go."
Li Wei is so anxious now that she has no way to think about it, anyway, her identity is there, and it is a big deal to be caught to reveal her identity, if one accidentally dies, it will be her life. Of course, she also learned about the abilities of the two brothers before she spoke. Ding Bei is the eldest brother, good at observation and concealment, Ding Da is tall, makeup is a must, but the escape is also good, at least he can take her away.
Lu Xiao also said that there is also his eyeliner in the Golden Palace, and Ding Da and Ding Bei also know each other.
The method that Ding Bei said is actually to climb over the wall and drill dog holes. Although the Golden Palace said that it was not allowed to raise dogs, it was still opened by Lu Xiao's eyeliner to open more hidden holes for these people to walk.
When Ding Da took Li Wei into the two palace walls without being discovered by the guards, Li Wei didn't know whether to sigh that Ding Da's martial arts were too good or that the guards of the Golden Palace were too poor.
The last obstacle was a small hole hidden by a dense jungle at the bottom of the palace wall, which the three of them climbed into one after another, and then restored the hole to its original state.
When Li Wei came in, she changed into a eunuch suit from the Golden Palace and climbed into the palace, and the other two were hidden in the dark, so she lowered her eyebrows and learned to walk as a eunuch, she didn't know the way, so she could only follow the route that the two explained to her.
There are many more eunuchs and palace maids in the Golden Palace than in the Beichen Palace, she has to be cautious, hiding while walking, and finally got out of a palace, and she doesn't know the southeast and northwest.
She stopped and went, feeling a threshold that was unguarded and entered.
There was the sound of someone playing inside, she was just about to enter the big courtyard, but suddenly a palace maid came to her, Li Wei hurriedly lowered her head, but was stopped by the palace maid.
"Eh, which palace are you in?"
"The little one, it's in the palace next door, hereβ"
Before Li Wei finished speaking, the palace maid waved her handkerchief impatiently, "Okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal to see your idle appearance, you just go to the imperial dining room to urge, why hasn't the diΗn heart that His Royal Highness the Prince wants has been sent over, go and help urge it, Your Highness can't leave anyone, I have to guard it here." β
Li Wei couldn't wait to turn back, and just walked away, but shouted to another person to stop, "Eh, that little eunuch, you come here and play Keju with me." β
When Li Wei heard this voice, she inexplicably knew the identity of the person who made the voice.
But the palace maid persuaded, "Oh, my highness, that's a little eunuch from another palace, and you can't stay." Ali went out and hasn't come back yet, so when he comes back, will I play Keju with you, okay? β
"No, Ali is not fun, he loses every time."
"Then how about letting Ah Jing accompany His Highness?"
"It's not good, he's not serious, he always likes to desert. Hmph, that's why I hate him and don't want him to follow. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks no different from an adult, and he looks tall, but he just looks childish, so he looks straight at Li Wei, "I'll let him play, I haven't seen him before!" β
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and Li Wei was frightened by his sentence 'I haven't seen him'.
The palace maid seemed helpless, "Okay, what's your name, if there is nothing urgent, let's play with His Highness for a while." β
Li Wei said: "Slave Xiaoweizi." β
"The three words Xiaoweizi are too long, just Xiaowei, how much more girly it is to add a person. Come on, you and Your Highness go into the compound to play, and the slave maid is here to help watch," After that, the palace maid also gave Li Wei a look, but Li Wei didn't understand.
