Chapter 25: Farewell
When Liu Qing let him go to the Yongning Palace, he saw dozens of palace guards standing on both sides in front of the door, and then looked into the distance, there were two hundred white-clothed snow riders standing in full costume, with white horses and white armor, but the leader was a Zhou Tan with two hundred catties, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match with the snow ride.
Liu Qingrang secretly slandered himself, and the palace was also arrogant, and they all caught up with the honor guard.
When Lingxiang came out with Ye Xingcan, and saw Liu Qingrang standing at the door, he thought that Ye Yao had been quite bored with him recently, and he didn't want to be too enthusiastic, so he just nodded lightly, said hello, and got into the carriage.
Liu Qingrang was about to say a few more words, but was stopped by Huo Yue, although he asked with a smile, "Liu Shaomu, are you riding a horse or a car?" But he smiled and felt that he was thousands of miles away.
Liu Qingrang felt that the friendship between the two was not shallow, two days ago, but there was still a life-saving friend, how could he not stop caring with people with a straight face, so he hurried up and asked him, "Where is the prince?" I thought it would be better to hide from this evil star in advance.
Huo Yue didn't pay attention to it, but just took the person to the carriage that had been prepared for a long time, and directly invited him to the carriage, without saying a word of superfluity.
Later, Liu Qingrang learned that Huo Yue was not only the personal guard of the King of Yongning, but also the descendant of the adopted son of the third King of Yongning, General Huo Alcohol. grew up with the prince in the palace since he was a child, and his relationship is very good. Although he was born roughly, he has a calm and delicate personality, and his kung fu is first-class, second only to the secret guard who rarely shows up in King Yongning.
Liu Qing was bored, and was looking out of the carriage, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the two hundred snow riders turned over and dismounted at the same time, and every boot sound seemed to shake the earth, and the rising morning sun also darkened suddenly, and there seemed to be a sudden chill in the air.
The two hundred snow riders were in unison, kneeling in front of the comers, needless to say, he also knew that King Yongning had arrived.
Looking at it again, there is a horse and a horse behind the prince, and the person on the horse looks like he is twenty-five or sixteen years old, with handsome facial features and a healthy dark face, which is Wang Shaoyuan, the right commander of the Royal Forest Army.
Although this person Liu Qingrang is not familiar with, he has also had a few unpleasant interactions. Faced with these two lords who had always looked at him unpleasantly and couldn't deal with either of them, Liu Qing let Ma slip into the carriage.
Ye Yao and Wang Shaoyuan arrived in front of Ye Xingcan's carriage before stopping. Before Ye Yao could speak, Ye Xingcan had already lifted the curtain and looked at him.
Ye Yao smiled and stretched out his hand to her.
Wang Shaoyuan saw the eldest princess of Min poking her head out, and his heart moved, he had heard that the eldest princess of Min was peerless, but the princess grew up in the northwest, and no one had ever seen it, and she was only regarded as the people of the northwest who were uninformed. A few days ago, when I entered the mansion to visit, I was stunned when I saw it, and I stared at the princess stupidly, but I didn't realize that King Yongning's gaze was getting colder and colder.
It's just that he also knows that no matter how beautiful this princess of the former dynasty is, it is not something he can covet, and the reason why she is still alive and given the title of "eldest princess" is because she has another identity, the future Princess Yongning.
In front of King Yongning, staring at the princess without turning around is indeed too rude. Wang Shaoyuan, who was born in the Wang family in Lingdong, let go of Wenlu, relied on military merits to establish a foothold, and became the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army, how could Wang Shaoyuan, not know what to see and what not to see, what to think and what not to think.
It's just that that night, when I went back to the military camp outside the city, there was still the shadow of the princess in front of me, and I couldn't drive it away, and I remembered the rumor, "King Yongning is the one who broke the army star and entered the fate, and this Yao entered the fate, killing countless people, can change the world and destroy the earth, and the eldest princess is the seven killing stars, and the heavenly fragrance is enough to be in troubled times." ”
Visiting Queen Yongning, the great eunuch Liu Shuang, who came to the palace to preach the decree, has not spoken, Wang Shaoyuan knew that Liu Gonggong was a good person, and he did not fall after the two dynasties of Taoism and Huizong, so he asked him what he thought of King Yongning.
Liu Shuang pondered for a long time, but finally did not answer this question, only said that the princess was even more beautiful than Chu Guifei back then. He was ready to leave Jianxing first and return to Beijing to resume his life.
Before leaving, Liu Shuang thought of the picture scroll of the previous dynasty that Wang Zaicheng had given him before, although the intention of wooing did not necessarily need to be reciprocated, thinking about it, he still left a sentence for Wang Shaoyuan, don't move your mind that shouldn't be moved.
Wang Shaoyuan smiled bitterly, "My fair lady, good gentleman", now it seems that he can't ask for it, but he is like this, and he has lost the opportunity to be happy before he starts.
Seeing the princess again this time, I remembered Gonggong Liu's reminder, didn't raise his head, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Shaoyuan, the right commander of the Royal Forest Army, has seen Princess Min. ”
Ye Yao pulled Ye Xingcan up, still the two of them rode a horse side by side, said "flat" to him, and jumped away.
Along the way, Jianxing City was crowded, waiting for the onlookers to send the princess to Yongning.
The convoy walked slowly, and Liu Qingrang, who saw such a battle for the first time, was shocked, lifted the curtain, and looked out the window with great interest.
Hundreds of people crowded the sides of the official road out of the city, but all the pavilions that could see the main street were crowded early. The girls and young ladies who didn't want to look forward to it didn't see the prince, but saw someone in the queue lift the curtain and reveal half of their faces.
A girl saw it clearly and shouted in surprise, "General Qin!" It's General Qin! Many women rushed towards Liu Qing's carriage. startled him, hurriedly shrank back again, and sighed, the northwest is really open to the people, and I want this General Qin? Could it be that Qin Yan, who I met before, was also in the team, why didn't I see it just now?
When the convoy left the city, it saw a hundred royal guards lined up outside the city, and the people with golden feather spears piercing in the sun were dazzling.
Ye Yao originally wanted to send Ah Can to the border of the fiefdom and then leave. I don't want to think that yesterday, Wang Fubu's secret agent "Li Hua" in Beiyin sent a secret report, saying that he had something important to see him, and he had no choice but to send Ye Xingcan out of the city, so he was ready to rush to the border.
In order to stay a little longer, Ye Yao rode a horse and took Ye Xingcan around in a big circle, there were too many things to tell on the road, especially to stay away from Liu Qing, and the commander of the Royal Forest Guard, Ye Xingcan only felt that someone was becoming more and more nagging, and he was more and more jealous.
Outside the city gate, Ye Yao reluctantly sent Ye Xingcan into the carriage. But seeing that she hesitated for a long time, she ran back again, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and still asked, "Is Li Hua a woman?" ”
Ye Yao knew that it was when Yang Jun sent the secret report last night, she heard it, and she didn't want to hide it, so she nodded.
Ye Xingcan pursed her lips, thought about it, and asked again, "Is she beautiful?" ”
Ye Yao still nodded.
Ye Xingcan's brows furrowed, and then asked, "She likes you, right?" ”
Ye Yao pondered for a moment and continued to nod.
Ye Xingcan sighed, and smiled seemingly chicly, "It's okay, my prince is so good, how normal it is for a woman to like you, not to mention that she is still a very useful agent, I, I don't care." After finishing speaking, he smiled at Ye Yao again, but he didn't know that this smile was more aggrieved than crying.
Ye Yao saw that his little girl's mood was getting lower and lower, and he was still generously relieving himself, so he scratched her nose, "Ah Can, I won't hide these things from you, she is the Holy Maiden of Beiyin, and she is very important to the palace." But I promise you that I will not do anything to be sorry for you. ”
In the end, he calmly met Ye Xingcan's gaze and continued, "My princess doesn't need to be sensible, you care, I can feel at ease." ”
Ye Xingcan looked at Ye Yao, climbed on top of him, and said softly, "Yao, I care." ”
The Imperial Forest Army and Duanxue Tieqi looked at the two of them like this "goodbye to intimacy", Gu is consciously turned his back, only Liu Qing let Baba watch, and thought that King Yongning could not go out of the fiefdom, nor could he go to Yongning together, and his heart felt a lot better.
Seeing Ye Xingcan return to the carriage, Ye Yao silently followed the convoy for dozens of miles, and saw that the sun was about to set, so he had to leave and set off for the Yongbei border.
After leaving the territory of Jianxing, the Imperial Forest Army took the lead, the palace guards followed closely behind the carriage, and the Duanxue Iron Cavalry pulled away for a distance and hung far behind.
After walking for more than half a day, Zhou Tan rode his horse to the side of Ye Xingcan's carriage, knocked on the side of the carriage window, and asked if he was tired. Ye Xingcan just shook his head.
Before Zhou Tan left, he saw Wang Shaoyuan, who was dressed in the official uniform of the Imperial Forest Guard, riding a horse and saluting Ye Xingcan, "The last general has seen the eldest princess, this time I entered Beijing, the Imperial Forest Guards are all at my disposal, and the princess can tell me something." ”
Ye Xingcan nodded, signaling that everything was fine, don't worry too much.
In the carriage, Lingxiang saw that Zhou Tan and Wang Shaoyuan had retreated, so she looked at her young lady with a smile, "Miss, Mr. Qin said yesterday that this Wang Commander is the only son of the prime minister of the dynasty, the new upstart of the imperial capital, and he is already the third leader of the Imperial Forest at a young age. It's just that this hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and when he entered the mansion to meet him a few days ago, he saw the young lady, his face was red to the base of his neck, and the prince was so angry that he was about to do it. ”
Ye Xingcan withdrew his gaze from the window, and raised his hand to twist Lingxiang's arm, "Nonsense, the color of the king's complexion, where can you see whether you blush or not, when did my brother become a tyrant." ”
Lingxiang knew that Miss would not be really annoyed, and continued to laugh happily, "Our prince is by no means a good person, not to mention, if someone really has ill intentions towards Miss, I don't believe that the prince can still be harmonious, the palm that slashed at Liu Zhuangyuan last time was really terrible, how precious he is to our young lady." ”
Ye Xingcan was said to be blushing, so he had to turn his head, secretly thinking that he was too used to Lingxiang, no big or small.
The convoy was traveling, and at night, Huo Yue came to report that there was Tai'an City in front of him, whether he would enter the city to rest.
Ye Xingcan originally wanted to be simpler and hurry, but he saw Lingxiang covering his stomach and looking at himself pitifully, presumably he didn't eat well at noon, so he said, go into the city to rest.
In order to avoid causing panic among the people in the city, the royal forest guard and Duanxue Tieqi all rested outside the city, and Zhou Tan, Wang Shaoyuan and the palace guards followed Ye Xingcan into the city and chartered an inn.
The innkeeper looked at this group of people, either rich or expensive, and did not dare to slack off, so he took out the housekeeping skills, and the dishes were served one by one.
In the hall, Lingxiang accompanied Ye Xingcan to sit at the main table, Zhou Tan and Wang Shaoyuan sat on the left table, and Huo Yue and Liu Qingrang sat on the right table. Of course, Liu Qingrang was forced by Zhou Tan's murderous eyes.
