Chapter 172: Travel
Xia Chen was stunned: "What?" Is the merchant missing? I'd like to talk to him about going out later. ”
"Without saying goodbye, I thought he had left a message for you. If you don't know, forget it. He Lanyong said in a light tone, turned around and left.
Xia Chen stared at his back and thought, could they be deliberately making a show for themselves? Whatever! Anyway, I'm going to go out tomorrow.
Shang Wuchen didn't show up for three days in a row, and Xia Chen went to Helan Yong to theorize several times, but every time he touched a gray nose. This time he was even worse, threatening her that if she dared to break the contract, he would no longer guarantee that he would suddenly appear in her room at night.
"You! You clearly colluded with Shang Wuchen, didn't you? Xia Chen didn't know what to scold him.
He Lanyong rubbed his eyebrows: "Actually, I also want to find him." ”
"Really?" Xia Chen saw that he had a stern look on his face and felt that he didn't look like he was lying.
"Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. There have been many things in the palace recently, and there has been chaos at the border gates, several county towns have been looted, and not a single living mouth has been left, and the whole country has panicked. ”
Xia Chen was a little surprised: "Have you found out who did it?" "Going to war?
Helan Yong said: "The place where the accident happened is at the junction of Xuanguo and Dayun Kingdom, and it is done so neatly and neatly, unlike ordinary bandits, and it is obvious that it has been planned for a long time, and there may be internal responses." ”
"The prince suspects that it was done by the army of the Great Cloud Kingdom?"
Helan Yong said: "What I'm afraid of is that everyone thinks like you." ”
Xia Chen pondered for a moment: "Is the prince saying that someone wants to deliberately provoke a dispute between the two countries?" ”
"Hmm. So I wanted Wuchen to investigate and investigate, but I couldn't contact him. ”
"I'll go back first." Xia Chen saw that he was worried, and he didn't want to make any more trouble for him.
"Wait. Dayun Kingdom has sent a special envoy to jointly investigate the matter, and it will arrive in about ten days, and the emperor has issued an order to set up a banquet in the palace to entertain him. I'm going with you. ”
Xia Chen turned his head and smiled and asked, "Is the Shang Gongzi going too?" ”
Helan Yong was stunned: "His identity is not suitable, he can't enter the palace, not to mention that he doesn't know where others are now." ”
Xia Chen said seriously: "Then I can't go either, didn't the prince say that unless the prince is accompanied, I can't leave the palace for half a step?" ”
Only then did He Lanyong realize that she was waiting for her here. "You can go out with me."
Xia Chen shrugged: "Unless you go out with me today, I won't go anywhere in the future." Seeing Helanyong's chest rise and fall sharply, she added: "You can force me to go with you." But you can't force me to play your good princess. ”
Helan Yong was actually angry: "It just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk, you go and clean up, remember to bring a veil." ”
Xia Chen simply changed into men's clothes. Brought a hood. When she came to the gate, she found that He Lanyong was waiting for her, and lifted the green yarn on the brim of her hat: "Lord, how am I dressed?" No one will recognize me, right? ”
He Lanyong turned his head and roared: "Go and replace it!" What identity are you hiding when you go out with me! ”
Xia Chen pursed his mouth: "It's okay like this, right?" ”
He Lanyong's face was even darker: "Do you want me to hold a man and swagger through the market together?" ”
Xia Chen saw that he only led a horse: "I can also ride a horse." ”
"If you don't want to change, the trip will be cancelled."
"Okay, okay. I'll change it. Xia Chen stuck out his tongue at him.
Helan Yong looked at her back in a daze. I thought to myself, why did I suddenly get so angry when I saw her dressed as a man? He hates this men's makeup! Or do you hate why Xia Chen is a man? Or is she dressed up as a man and more like him? I don't know what he looks like now, he has grown into a beautiful boy, right? If you wear women's makeup...... Stop! He didn't let himself think about it anymore.
Riding on the street with King Ge attracted many people's side glances from time to time, which made Xia Chen feel very uncomfortable, she gently bumped He Lanyong with her elbow: "Hey, there are many people riding horses like us on this street, although most of them are alone, but you don't need to look at us like rare animals, right?" ”
Helan Yong's language is narrow: "Because most people know me." So I'm curious why I ride the same horse so intimately with the princess, who has escaped many marriages. ”
Xia Chen snorted: "Why are you very famous!" ”
Helan Yong said: "Xuandu is more populous than the capital of the Great Cloud Kingdom, and the princes and nobles rarely travel by chariot. Over time, they are all familiar with each other? ”
Xia Chen muttered secretly: "The capital of the Great Cloud Country? She has read some books in the past few days and knows that the Xuanguo is a nomadic people, and the Great Cloud Kingdom is located in the Central Plains, which is closer to her impression of ancient times.
Helan Yong suddenly stopped his horse: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
Xia Chen looked up and saw that it was the color sleeve workshop, and looked at the scene in front of the door, and the business was full of good. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, "Why did you bring me here?" ”
Helan Yong said: "Didn't you always want to see if your bad ideas worked, and there were still many tricks that didn't work?" ”
Xia Chen turned his head and squinted and smiled: "I can't see that you are quite understanding." ”
Helan Yong said in a sullen voice: "I can't let you break your word and get fat, let alone let you pick up ...... Feed! Wait a minute. ”
Xia Chen jumped off the horse and was about to go in before he finished speaking, and when he heard Helanyong shouting at her, she suddenly remembered that this was not an ordinary place, and when he tied his horse and came over and asked, "Shall we enter through the gate?" ”
He Lanyong nodded: "Of course, otherwise someone will say that I am sneaky." ”
Xia Chen snorted: "You can turn over small accounts like this, are you a man?" ”
Helan Yong leaned into her ear: "What do you say?" Finding that she was stunned, he looked at her suspiciously: "What are you thinking?" Or is there something uncomfortable? ”
Xia Chen shook his head: "I'm fine." Is it appropriate for us to go in this way? She remembered something in a trance, but it was only for a moment.
Helan Yong said: "There is nothing inappropriate, the color sleeve workshop is a good song and dance workshop in Kyoto." ”
Xia Chen asked in a low voice: "According to your meaning, this is a place to listen to music and enjoy dances?" But how do I feel like I'm selling dog meat on a sheep's head! ”
Helan Yong said: "It's almost, it's like clothes seem to change people's identities, but clothes can't wrap a person's good or bad." ”
Xia Chen smiled faintly, his statement is quite interesting, there are many people in the gold and jade, but the world has many shallow eyes, and they always judge people by their appearance.
Mother Hu didn't recognize Xia Chen until she invited King Ge and Xia Chen to the private room upstairs. "The prince and princess can come, our colorful sleeve workshop is really brilliant."
Helan Yong said: "Prepare some wine and food." ”
"Yes." Mother Hu immediately ordered, and then turned back and asked, "Does the princess still need anything?" Or a little bit of dancing? ”
Xia Chen glanced at the stands a few times and shook his head: "I said Mother Hu, are you selling zongzi?" (To be continued......)
