On the second day of the trip, it snowed heavily, but fortunately, the little emperor was casual and fun-loving, and he didn't care that the trip was slowed down by the wind and snow, and he also called Huo Shijiu to come to the carriage with great interest to accompany him and talk about the world.

In the evening, the night is four, "Yongkang Pass" is in front of the dark and tall ancient city, the city gate is wide open, the accompanying royal forest army and a thousand cavalry stand in a vast forest, the local officials kneel in the snow to greet each other, but the carriage of the little emperor is still not moving, and you can vaguely hear the sound of people talking and laughing inside, in addition, only the cold wind blows the flag hunting, or there is the sound of the horse's hooves occasionally kicking or the horse snorting.

The wind lamps flickered, and the dim halo swayed with it, stretching the shadow of the carriage. The cold wind swirled, blowing the snow on people's faces, and the officials who knelt down to greet them, including the British Duke and Jiang Xuewen, already felt that they were all cold in their sleeves.

The British public face was expressionless, Jiang Xuewen was full of righteous indignation, as for the local officials who greeted him, where did he dare to complain?

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the door of the carriage in which the little emperor was riding was finally pushed open.

The little emperor, dressed in a sable velvet hat and a sable velvet warmer, slowly came out with a warm curtain, and stood in front of the carriage lightly, still saying: "...... As far as you know, you'll laugh at me. ”

"The emperor has a good reputation. The ministers are sparse and shallow, but Ying Jing'er mentions some of the emperor's favorite things. Huo Nineteen then got out of the car, and his voice was as pleasant as what he said.

The little emperor Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, pulled Huo Shijiu's sleeve, looked at the official who had already knelt down to the snow on his shoulders in surprise, and the male duck asked in a loud voice: "What are you doing on your knees?" Have I punished you for kneeling? Get up. ”

Words like greetings couldn't be spoken, because their sons of heaven were too unreasonable, and the local officials looked at each other. Silently got up. After his eyes turned around the little emperor. They all looked at the beautiful and noble Huo Nineteen curiously.

He is tall and tall, wearing a royal blue bamboo leaf pattern, his face is like jade, gentle and elegant, looking from a distance, even if he can't see his appearance clearly, he knows that this person has a noble and reserved temperament, cold and distant. is really as beautiful as the rumored person, but it is also unattainable.

He is a traitor who moves the world! The local officials had never seen it, and they were not only a little stunned. Whether it is to invite favor with color or to bewitch the king, now he is a popular person who is in the limelight and in front of the emperor. Even if he looks down on such a traitorous courtier, his mind is born.

Jiang Xuewen had a calm face, and it was not easy to accuse the emperor, the so-called "the monarch and the minister had to die", not to mention that the official knelt for a while. If you want to get their heads, they will also thank the emperor. He had to glare at Huo Nineteen fiercely, and followed the emperor into the city.

The Emperor is here. The lights in the city were brighter, as if it was more lively than Chinese New Year's Eve, the people went out to greet each other, cheering really true, the little emperor fluttered to the Yamen to rest, arranged elite soldiers and guards to camp, and the reception banquet began.

Huo Shijiu naturally followed the little emperor's side, but before he finished eating a glass of wine, a person came to his side and whispered: "Master Hou, Kyoto is eight hundred miles away from an urgent message, and the lady is gone." ”

Huo Nineteen's eyes widened, and the wine in the cup swayed, gradually wetting the green jade ring on his hand.

"Brother Ying, what's wrong?" The little emperor asked in a low voice.

Huo Shijiu shook his head and said, "The minister will be with him for a while." After saluting the emperor, he led the man out of the antechamber and called the messenger to interrogate him in detail.

The man said: "When the lady came out of the house, she only brought a maid named Tingyu with her, and left a letter saying that she came out to find the Hou Ye, so she didn't say goodbye." The old lady was anxious, and ordered someone to come and report to the Hou Ye quickly, and asked you to arrange for someone to pick up the lady and send her home safely. ”

Thinking of Jiang Yan's willfulness, Huo Jiu was angry and hated to catch her and spank her. But when he thought of her flower-like appearance and the pity when she begged him, he felt soft-hearted. is so willful and reckless, but he can't let go of his hands, and he can't bear to be harsh.

Now he just wants her to be safe.

Huo Jiujiu didn't say much, after thinking about it for a while, he arranged for the emperor to order a guard named Li Chenghua to protect him, and he would return to greet him along the way, and be sure to find Jiang Yu.

Li Chenghua hurried away.

Huo Shijiu returned to the banquet, but he was worried and couldn't swallow......

%

When Huo Shijiu couldn't swallow his food, two spacious cotton trolleys were slowly driving on the official road of the first checkpoint "Yongping Pass" in the direction of Kyoto and Jinzhou City.

The carriage was covered with a thick cotton mattress, Jiang Wei wore a crescent white coat with a fire fox leather collar, leisurely leaned on the brocade ink pillow, and held a volume of "Zhuangzi" that Huo Shijiu often read, and flipped through the silk lantern at will.

Tingyu sat beside her, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say whatever you want." Jiang Wei raised her eyes to look at her.

Listening to the rain, he said: "Madam, I'm afraid that if we come out like this, we will anger the Hou Ye." Even the head of the family may not be willing to rest assured. ”

"There's nothing to do, if you want to do something, you must bear the consequences, it's just a big deal to be scolded by your father. As for Master Hou, let's stay for a while, and then get closer when we are far away from Kyoto, lest he send us back. ”

"But ma'am, can your body withstand it?"

"Didn't you bring a doctor?" Jiang Yu didn't feel that there was anything to worry about.

Listening to the rain wiped the sweat on his forehead, he only sweated anxiously all the way, lifted the dark purple cotton curtains with his hands, pushed the window and looked out, only to see that the snow covered the plain with a snow-white carpet, the night was dark, but the snow stopped, and the blue moonlight was projected on the snow blanket, which seemed to be a distant mountain, near the trees, and only felt a chill on his back.

She hurriedly lowered the curtain, settled down, and handed the warm water bladder to Jiang Yan: "Madam, take a bite of goat's milk." ”

Jiang Wei shook her head, "I'll eat later." ”

She actually couldn't read a few pages of the book, and the carriage was bumpy in the snow, which was really not a comfortable thing, and it was no wonder that Huo Shijiu refused to take her out. However, she was bent on Huo Shijiu's safety, and her own feelings were nothing.

After a while, the coachman outside raised his voice and asked: "Madam, the snow is difficult to walk, but fortunately, we are not satisfied with the rush, and we will be able to reach Yongping Pass early in the morning." There is a post station there, and the lady can rest and rectify. ”

Jiang Yu said: "Thank you for your hard work, you just have to hurry with peace of mind, and there will be a heavy reward when you turn back." ”

The coachman laughed and shouted.

After having dinner casually in the carriage, Jiang Yu and Tingyu fell asleep, while the coachman took turns to rest, but the speed was not fast.

The next morning, when the sky was dark, Jiang Wei, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. looked at Tingyu, who was sleeping next to her, but her mind was on the official road.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there should be a person hurrying in the direction of their carriage.

Jiang Yu got up, called Tingyu to get up and waited for her to rinse her mouth and wipe her face, and when she was ready, a horse came coming outside, and a man asked loudly: "Dare to ask, is it the Huo family's carriage?" ”

Hearing the rain, his nervous face turned white. The coachman held on to the reins, but he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yu put down the small peach wood comb, lifted the warm curtain casually, and said, "Did the Hou Ye send you to meet me?" ”

The man was in his early thirties, burly, with a good face, wearing the official uniform of the imperial guard, who was not Li Chenghua?

When Li Chenghua heard this, he took a long breath, and the white mist bloomed in front of him, melting the frost frozen on his thick eyebrows in two drops. Turning over and dismounting, his cold and stiff body saluted upright: "See Madame for your humble duties." The Hou Ye instructed the humble post to send his wife back to Kyoto safely. ”

"Get up, get in the car and talk." Jiang Wei casually put down the warm curtain.

"Madam, there is a difference between men and women, I'm afraid it will be ...... for him to come up" Before he finished listening to Yu's words, his heart jumped when he touched Jiang Yu's casual glances, and he couldn't help but be silent.

Li Chenghua, who was outside the carriage, also hesitated, and only said after a while: "Thank you, madam, it's rude." "Hop into the carriage and pull the curtain cross-legged at the door. The frost on his sideburns and eyebrows met the heat and immediately melted into water.

Jiang Yu instructed Tingyu to give him a handkerchief, and asked him to pour hot tea, and then said, "This adult came just in time." I only brought a servant, a doctor and two guards with me when I went out this time, and I am short of manpower, so you can follow and protect me. ”

Li Chenghua almost sprayed the hot tea in his mouth, and anxiously put down the tea bowl and said: "Madam, I came to send Madame back to Kyoto City on the order of the marquis. Please be considerate and humble and don't go any further. If the Hou Ye is really angry, the lives of the whole family will not be guaranteed. ”

Jiang Wei played with the pearls decorated on the braids hanging down her chest, and said with a smile: "Don't play the emotional card with me, I don't eat this set." You're a royal guard, aren't you? To be able to work in front of the emperor, the family background must be unusual, and there is no question of whether the lives of the family can be reported. ”

Li Chenghua was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Jiang Yan looked young, but she was not as easy to fool as a woman of the same age.

Jiang Yu said again: "And the Hou Ye should also know that you can't persuade me to go back, and you also told you that if I don't want to go back, you must protect my safety, right?" ”

Li Chenghua looked at Jiang Yan's delicate face blankly, saying yes and no, saying no and no, if he really admitted it, wouldn't he really want to be led by a woman's nose? Huo Shijiu turned around and really didn't know how to clean him up.

When she hesitated, Jiang Yu had already whispered: "You come to me, is there anyone around Hou Ye to protect me?" ”

Li Chenghua hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, in addition to the humble position, there are four guards by the Hou Ye's side. ”

Jiang Fu bowed: "Since Hou Ye is willing to send you, it means that you have the highest martial arts among the four guards beside Hou Ye." There aren't many people available next to Hou Ye, if you send me back to Kyoto, wouldn't the strength of his protection be weak? You don't want Hou Ye to be in danger, right? ”

"This ......"

"So you don't have to say much, I won't listen to me when I am persuaded to go back, but it is important to follow my instructions and continue on the road. Returning to Hou Ye as soon as possible, you can make a deal, and you can protect Hou Ye, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Li Chenghua was speechless, Mrs. Jinninghou was not the same as the woman in the deep house he knew, he couldn't say her, and he couldn't force her, so he had to nod helplessly.
