"Huh?" The elegy didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment. Music + Literature + Fiction

Until she sat in the carriage, she was still in ignorance.

The carriage has left the official road and drove to the side of the branch road, which is also different, the ground of the branch road is uneven, and the carriage is pressed on it, and it will be very bumpy, and the elegy leans his head on the side of the carriage, closing his eyes and resting his mind, but because he was turned upside down, he hit several bags on his head, and Elegy looked unhappy and had to prop his head up.

At this time, if there was shallow pity, she could rest her head on her shoulder, but because Ning Yuanxing said that the fewer people the better, she had to leave shallow pity.

Now that I think about it, that decision really sucks.

Ning Yuanxing also seemed to notice this, and half-jokingly said, "If the princess doesn't mind, the minister's shoulder can be lent to you." ”

"No, I don't mind." Elegy simply refused.

"......" Ning Yuanxing glanced at her deeply, and finally chuckled, "The princess is at her own convenience." ”

After saying that, he looked at the other side and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Elegy pursed her lips, she didn't feel sleepy for a while, she opened the curtains, and looked outside the carriage, only a few guards followed around, including Si Du and Si Chen, thinking to herself how could they listen to Ning Yuanxing's words? Who is the master?

Lowering the curtains, Elegy looked back at Ning Yuanxing, who was in the carriage with his eyes closed, and asked, "Are we going to go separately from the big army?" ”

Ning Yuanxing didn't reply, as if he was really asleep.

Elegy said displeased: "Don't pretend, I know you're okay to fall asleep!" ”

She was still silent when she was answered, and Elegy wondered in her heart, was she really asleep? How the hell did he fall asleep?

She leaned to the side, displeased. Boredom rummaging through the things on the carriage, and looking out the window from time to time, it was still dark, and there was still some time before dawn.

She retracted into the carriage, intending to sleep for a while, but the sound of horses' hooves outside distracted her.

She opened her eyes and exhaled. I can't sleep!

I accidentally saw Ning Yuanxing's sleeping face. His eyes were closed, and his eyelashes were like little fans.

What does a man do with such long eyelashes? Accurate!

Elegy rolled his eyes and leaned over. wanted to tear off an eyelash, but didn't want to, but Ning Yuanxing suddenly opened his eyes, and the elegy was startled. Instinctively, he shrank back, looking at the scenery.

She had a drum beating in her heart. For fear that Ning Yuanxing would ask her what she was doing just now, she didn't want to, but Ning Yuanxing didn't mention it at all.

"Doesn't the princess ask us why we take the side road?"

"Huh?" Elegy was stunned for a moment, and his mind shifted. "Why?" he asked. ”

She didn't understand that if they acted alone, there would be no point in touring the south at all.

"Does the princess know the purpose of our trip?" Ning Yuanxing looked puzzled when he saw Elegy. Patiently asked.

"Isn't it to supervise the excavation of the canal and inspect the people's situation in various places?" Although I don't know what Ning Yuanxing thinks, this purpose should be the same.

Ning Yuanxing smiled faintly. Then he asked, "Does the princess think that our trip is very powerful?" ”

Is it more than vast? It's like beating gongs and drums to tell people that they're coming, and deliberately reminding them to hurry up and clean up all the things they haven't cleaned up, so what can be found out?

There is no point in doing so, but the patrolling people can make a lot of money.

Elegy didn't know if Ning Yuanxing was the same as she thought, and said what she wanted to say, "There are too many people mobilized." ”

"Does the princess know that this southern tour is the most powerful?"

"Huh? Is that so? I do not know. Elegy replied honestly.

Because it doesn't have much to do with his own interests, Elegy has always chosen to ignore it, not to mention, Luo Yanchuan helped him prepare everything before, she just needs to issue orders.

"Hehe, you've been here for so many years, and you haven't thought about taking the initiative to learn the knowledge and cultural background here?" Ning Yuanxing's eyes clearly regarded her as illiterate.

The elegy looked a little unsightly, and retorted: "Where is it? I still read quite a few books. ”

"Oh? Will the princess take the initiative to read books? Do you recognize all the words? This person was obviously alluding to the fact that when she first came here, she couldn't even recognize the words, but now it's different, she has learned all the words!

However, if she can recognize the words, what does it matter to him? Why did she tell him?

Elegy suddenly realizes that when is their relationship going to be good enough to sit down and chat calmly?

Her face stiffened, and she said coldly: "Whether I recognize all the words or not has nothing to do with the prime minister!" ”

Her attitude changed suddenly, how could Ning Yuanxing not notice it? He smiled faintly and looked at the scenery outside the window, it was pitch black.

For a long time, when Elegy thought he was angry, he said lightly: "Yes, I have nothing to do with the princess." ”

The carriage was frighteningly quiet for a while, Elegy was not used to such an atmosphere, or rather, she was not used to being in the same space as Ning Yuanxing, she didn't feel anything when she had shallow pity by her side during the day today, but now that the two of them were alone, this embarrassment suddenly increased, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"You haven't answered my question yet! Why go it alone? Why this tour is particularly high-profile. ”

"The princess really doesn't know?" Ning Yuanxing was slightly stunned.

What does he mean? Think she's an all-knowing god? The elegy said displeasedly: "If I knew, would I still ask you?" You love to talk about it or not! ”

Seeing that Elegy began to lose his temper, Ning Yuanxing smiled, shook his head and said, "Since the princess has asked, how can the minister not answer?" The reason why His Majesty attaches great importance to this southern tour should also be for the princess. ”

"For me?" Elegy doesn't understand, what does the southern tour have to do with her?

Isn't the reason why the emperor excluded her just to cut off her relationship with Luo Yanchuan and let her get along with Ning Yuanxing more? Is there any other reason besides this layer?

"Princess, use your brains well."

"......" Although you said so, the corners of Elegy's mouth twitched, but she still didn't understand.

Ning Yuanxing probably really lost to her, sighed, and said: "The southern tour is huge, and the reputation among the people is extraordinary, if you can make another feat here, you can greatly increase your prestige." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Elegy was surprised.

"Of course, why would the princess be so surprised?" Ning Yuanxing's reaction to the elegy was more curious.

"Ahem...... It's nothing ......" Elegy waved her hand again and again, this is indeed different from what she remembered! Her previous country, the Xia Kingdom, also had similar activities, sending some officials to inspect various places, and then reporting various situations to the emperor, so as to understand the people's livelihood in various places and whether the local officials were faithfully fulfilling their responsibilities.

However, the idea is good, but the implementation is not ideal.

There is an old saying that officials protect each other, and officials who inspect various places will generally be entertained by local magistrates, in order to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, or to help them hide some truths.

Normally, after returning to Beijing, the inspecting officials can make a circle around their waists and make a big profit.

But what is the real situation in various places, and how many people can really explain it clearly?

Elegy never believed in the usefulness of inspections in various places, because the officials were too *, if it were not for this, how could it cause riots in various places, and finally be feared by neighboring countries, and finally lead to war?

Thinking of the bloody scenes at that time, the elegy was sick to her stomach, she shook her head, it had been a long time since she remembered the past, it was really not a good memory.

"It's useless to do this, our patrols don't have much to do with the people." The only ones who are concerned are the officials who are vying for the first time.

"Princess, you're wrong to think so." Ning Yuanxing shook his head, "The purpose of our trip is to catch out the corrupt officials lurking in various places, and Your Majesty will send you out for this reason." ”

"But we are moving so much, those officials may have cleaned up the evidence early in the morning." Elegy propped her head and said with little interest, as soon as she remembered the gongs and drums along the way, she was afraid that no one would know about their coming, so she didn't think she could accomplish anything.

Wait a minute...... Now that they have broken away from the main army, could it be that this is the purpose of Ning Yuanxing?

Elegy looked at Ning Yuanxing and said in surprise: "You plan to hide your identity and rush to the front of the team......"

"That's right." Ning Yuanxing nodded.

"Are you crazy, what can we do with a few of us? Even if we can really find out the evidence of the crime before those officials clean up, I am afraid that before the big army comes, someone will already attack first.

Ning Yuanxing saw that Elegy's face was nervous, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is the princess scared?" ”

"Who's scared?" Elegy gave him a blank look, "Are you really going to do this?" Prime Minister, this is not in line with your cautious personality in the past. ”

"The princess is guarded by two masters, what am I afraid of?" Ning Yuanxing smiled slightly.

"You're right, my guards can't control you!" Elegy frowned and hesitated, "You really don't have second-hand preparations?" I don't believe it! ”

With Ning Yuanxing's cautious temperament, she didn't believe that he would act so rashly, in case she was chased and killed, she would never help! Don't even want Si Du and Si Chen to save him!

"Since the princess doesn't believe it, it's useless for the minister to say more."

"Hmph, whatever you want, anyway, if something happens after that, I will never let people save you!" She gave Ning Yuanxing a preventive shot in advance, so as not to be accused by him of not saving her in the future.

"Don't worry, the princess, try not to drag the princess back."

"Not as much as possible, but by all means!" Elegy pouted, now that things have come to this point, she can only catch the ducks on the shelves. (To be continued)
