Chapter 229: Nightmare Coming
Han Ruo woke up groggily, and through the thin layer of window paper, he could vaguely see that the sky outside the room had not yet brightened, and only a few faint lights came in weakly.
Shaking to sit up, Han Ruo carefully touched his face. Still a little uneasy, I took out the small mirror I carried with me from my arms and looked at it, and found that the reflection in the mirror was still a face that looked ordinary or even a little ugly, so I put my mind at ease. sighed in her heart that Li'er's disguise technique was really superb, and Li'er told her that even if she washed it with water, this makeup would not fade lightly, and only by washing it with a special medicinal powder could she wash it thoroughly and restore her original appearance. Naturally, this medicinal powder was also put into Han Ruo's package.
Got up and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, Han Ruo straightened out of the room after dressing, went down the stairs, and after entering the store, he instructed the shopkeeper to prepare dry food for the road to eat. Hurriedly hid behind the door. Peeking through the cracks, I saw that the leader was interrogating the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper pointed to the portrait pasted on the wall of the counter, and said flatteringly: "Look, Master Jun, the little ones have pasted this portrait in the most conspicuous place, if the master Niangniang appears, the villain will definitely find out!" But the villain really didn't see it! ”
"Have you seen any suspicious people lately?" The officer who took the lead spoke in a bad tone.
"No, no, the villain is a small business, and the people who come and go are serious people." The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again.
"Remember, if there is any suspicious person, go and report it to the government immediately!" The evil voice that took the lead interrogated a few more words, and then left with the men and horses. Han Ruo waited for them to walk away before slowly walking out from behind the door and crossing to the counter with a calm step. I saw the shopkeeper looking at the team of people who had left in the dust, and said with a sad face: "What is it called, where is this to take the car back to the palace, it is clear that it is to take people!" As soon as he looked up and saw Han Ruo, he hurriedly restrained his complaining look and showed a flattering smile: "Guest officer, you can get up early!" ”
"There is a commotion down there, and the noise makes people uneasy." Han Ruo replied casually, "You prepare some dry food and water for me to go on the road." ”
"Aren't they all soldiers who came to find their master's mother! But I don't think they have any kindness to their master. Guest, are you in such a hurry? The shopkeeper was pouring bitter water, but it was a little strange to hear Han Ruo's anxious tone, and he looked at Han Ruolai suspiciously.
Han Ruo showed a sad look and replied: "I received a letter from home saying that my mother was seriously ill and was about to die, so I hurried on the road, and I was in a hurry to go back to see my mother for the last time!" ”
The shopkeeper was no longer suspicious, and said: "Ouch, look at this, you are really a filial son. Don't worry, the little one will prepare something for you on the road right away, you wait! ”
As soon as the qiē was ready, Han Ruo rode on the horse, and then flew away with a whip. I was already very anxious in my heart, and I didn't want to delay for a moment. If even ordinary people can see that these officers who were ordered to come to him have bad intentions, it can be seen how Gong Qianqi's power in the palace is in full swing, and the more this is the case, the more dangerous Jin Bing's situation will be, she can't help but be in a hurry!
After a whole day of non-stop horseback galloping, the sky became heavier and darker, and the horses were a little tired, and Han Ruo had to find an inn to rest for the night. He was walking along the official road and thinking about the next town, when he suddenly saw a large group of men and horses with bright torches rushing towards this side in the distance. There was no way to avoid the cold, so he had to retreat to the side and let the horse team pass first.
Unexpectedly, the leader stopped in front of her, looked her up and down, and said lazily: "You, come here." ”
The voice was delicate but not feminine, and when he looked up, he saw that the red clothes that were very flamboyant even in the night were more and more bewitching and beautiful against the firelight.
Han Ruo immediately retracted his gaze, immediately dismounted, walked in front of him, and spoke in a dumb voice: "I don't know what the adults called the grass people?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand, and the horsewhip in his hand had already fallen on Han Ruo. She cried out in pain and looked up at him in confusion.
There was a cold smile on his lips, but the tone of his voice was as immature and crisp as that of a coquettish child: "Why don't you kneel in front of me?" ”
Han Ruo hated so much in his heart that his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, suppressing countless heavy angers, and wanted to kneel, but his legs were like petrification, and he couldn't bend down no matter what. The guards on the side shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, this is the Red Phoenix Monarch who is the most favored by the regent today, and he still doesn't kneel!" ”
She raised her eyes and swept towards the guard who scolded her, obviously a pair of ugly hanging eyes, but the light shot out made the guard break out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't speak for a long time. It was only a momentary matter, she had already withdrawn her gaze, lowered her head and slowly knelt in front of Phoenix. The hatred in her heart is no longer something that words can describe in case, she really didn't expect that the man she had loved for so many years would be taken away by another man. How cruel, how ridiculous!
Phoenix smiled proudly on her horse, raised her whip and drove her horse away, and a large number of guards left behind her.
Han Ruo clenched his hands into fists and slowly stood up, swearing in his heart that he would let this person kneel in front of him in the future and cut him with a thousand knives!
"Are you swearing in your heart that in the future you will let me kneel in front of you and be cut by a thousand knives?" His laughter was like a sharp blade that pierced into Han Ruo's heart. Han Ruo turned around in disbelief and saw a phoenix dressed in red. He turned around and returned?!
"Hahaha!" He suddenly burst into laughter, and finally stopped laughing before he spoke to her: "The queen of a dignified country, the future emperor, actually knelt at my feet, as long as I think about it, I think it's funny." ”
Han Ruo didn't say a word, only pretended to be panicked and puzzled and looked at Phoenix.
"Why bother pretending again, your disguise technique is indeed clever, but when you heard that Gong Qianqi doted on me, the eyes betrayed you." Phoenix smiled innocently, as if she was explaining to her with great kindness. "I'll tell you one more thing~" Phoenix smiled and approached Han Ruo, and whispered in her ear: "The night before I came out of the palace to find you, he hugged me and said, after finding you, I will dispose of it." ”
Han Ruo's face suddenly turned pale, Phoenix turned around with laughter, and ordered the guards: "Tie it up and take it back!" "Yes!"
Re-mounted, he stared at Han Ruo with a smile, and said word by word: "Our game has just begun." ”
