Everything was ready, Gu Yunxin got into the carriage, and Hongqi and Hongling followed in the car to serve, because it was a long journey, and let the people of the Netherworld Pavilion protect them, so they let Xiangzhi and Jinhua guard the four of them in the Rui Wang's Mansion together.

"Princess, otherwise, you can bring the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will serve you for food and daily life!" Xiangzhi stood next to the carriage and said with a pitiful look.

"Xiangzhi, don't worry, we can both take care of our master, otherwise we will have to distract ourselves to protect you when something happens!" Hongling said lightly.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back, I'll go to the little boy tomorrow and ask the little boy to teach me martial arts!" Xiangzhi said firmly.

She must learn martial arts well, otherwise she won't be able to help at critical moments. Instead, it has become a burden!

"Okay, then you go and learn, the master can rest assured, I have memorized the few foods you taught me." Hongqi said lightly.

"Well, you must take good care of the princess, we will take care of our home and wait for the princess to come back." After that, Xiangzhi's tears fell, and Gu Yunxin and the others who watched couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Don't worry, the princess, the slaves and maids will guard the palace well and wait for the princess to come back!" Jinhua and others also chased out.

"Well, you all have to be good, if anyone bullies you, wait for me to come back and tell me, this concubine will definitely give you anger." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"It's really a good show, this palace thought it would be missed, Princess Rui, you saw King Rui and told him to fight hard to protect the rivers and mountains of my Great Zhou, and this palace will definitely not treat him badly." The prince's frame didn't know when it came to the door of King Rui's mansion.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Yunxin hurriedly got out of the car and saluted.

"Well, Princess Rui, I can't imagine it, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are more beautiful." After that, the prince was about to reach out and touch Gu Yunxin's hand.

Gu Yunxin took a step back and easily dodged, now she is about to leave Kyoto to go to the border, the mountains and rivers are far away on this road, and the Rui Wangfu is really difficult to take care of, if someone uses their identity to bully the door, then the people in the Rui Wangfu can only be wronged in vain.

For the safety of everyone in the Rui Wangfu, and for the sake of not adding more enemies along the way, he can only endure the prince's move temporarily.

"Thank you for the prince's compliment, it's not too early, and we're about to set off." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

After the carriage and horses traveled from the east gate to three hundred miles outside the city, they saw more than a dozen people dressed in rivers and lakes stopping here, and after seeing Gu Yunxin's carriage, someone stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "My subordinates greet Princess Rui." ”

"How many of them are ......," Gu Yunxin wondered.

Although the people of the Netherworld Pavilion were also arranged, they were not connected here, could it be that someone wanted to install helpers in the team and burn grain and grass again?

"The subordinates and others are the shadow guards around the emperor, and the emperor said that the princess will definitely attract the attention of many people, and he ordered me to protect the princess's safety no matter what." After that, the leading man also took out a token representing his identity and handed it to Gu Yun

The hand of the heart.

The emperor said before that he would arrange a shadow guard for him, although he refused, he didn't expect to send it.

"Then there are a few Laos." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

For more than ten days, he rode a high-headed horse, following the front of the carriage, and the sides and the back.

"Master, our carriage is spacious enough, and the slave and maid have put a thick cushion on you, if you are sleepy, lie down and rest for a while." Hongxuan said softly.

"I'm not tired yet, let's sit down for a while. By the way, have you ever heard that the emperor has a shadow guard? Gu Yunxin said curiously.

"This slave has heard the prince talk about it, the prince said that every emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will have his own shadow guard, these people only obey the emperor's orders, and they usually hide by the emperor's side with a kind of stealth martial arts, and only the emperor can let them appear." Hongxuan said lightly.

"Oh, I see."

"Is the master worried about their identity? In fact, the master doesn't have to worry, the emperor's shadow guard is not so easy to be impersonated. Hongxuan gently patted Gu Yunxin's hand.

The carriage drove eastward, and there was no inn to stay at until evening.

"Princess, we chose the road to the border pass, there are not many inns on this way, I'm afraid you will suffer, you can only spend the night in this broken temple tonight." The leading shadow guard said respectfully.

"It's okay, this concubine can still endure this little hardship. By the way, what's your name? It is also convenient for the concubine to be called. ”

"If you go back to the princess, your subordinates will be called Qingfeng."

"Qingfeng, okay, I've made a note, you tell your brothers, and when you go out, just call me master." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Yes."

Qingfeng is a person who practices martial arts, and he does things and speaks neatly, and soon let people clean up the broken temple, when Gu Yunxin walked into the broken temple, there was already a fire inside, and there was a pot on it, and the water in the pot was slowly steaming.

"Hongling, put all the things we brought into the pot, it's already winter, drink some hot soup and everyone's body can be relaxed." Gu Yunxin said softly.

"Yes, the slave knows." Hongling picked up the burden around him and threw some of the sun-dried ingredients into the hot pot.

"Thank you, master." Everyone laughed.

On this trip, there are many people who are unprepared, especially those shadow guards, who usually serve by the emperor's side, but now they want to go out with a princess who doesn't even have the ability to protect themselves, it's really a little aggrieved.

This matter of escorting grain and grass was not something that she should take care of as a woman, and it was okay to leave it to the courtiers or anyone else, but this princess wanted to interfere.

They can't use martial arts, and they can't hurry up, so they can only follow her in a carriage, which will slow down the trip.

Gu Yunxin had already guessed the thoughts of these shadow guards,

It's just that there are some things that don't need to be explained to them.

It was night, everyone had already slept, only Qingfeng and another shadow guard kept vigil together.

"Brother Qingfeng, you said that this princess is too, if she doesn't have a good baby in the palace, she has to join in the fun to send grain and grass, will she lose it if she hands it over to others."

"Lu Jian, don't talk nonsense, the princess is using God as bait, do you think that this million quintals of grain and grass will be enough to eat when sent to the border pass?" Qingfeng said in a deep voice.

"That's definitely not enough to eat, and more than 20 of us also have to eat along the way." Lu Jian pouted.

"The princess naturally has her idea, we just need to follow the emperor's instructions and protect the princess's safety, and the rest, what the princess wants to do, let's do it, be a slave, and can't find fault with the master." Qingfeng said coldly.

"yes, I see. Also, I think the two girls around the princess are not weak in martial arts. ”

"None of the people in the Rui Wangfu are simple." Qingfeng said lightly.

Immediately, Qingfeng stood up, walked out of the ruined temple, and looked at the night sky, a bright moon hung alone in the sky, and there was no starlight around.

Gu Yunxin was resting in the broken temple, and she didn't sleep well, not because she couldn't sleep here, in her last life, she slept in a firewood room with wind and leakage, didn't she sleep the same?

"Lord Wang...... Rajah...... Watch your ...... behind you," Gu Yunxin whispered in his sleep.

"Master, master, are you alright?" Hongling hurriedly hugged Gu Yunxin and said.

Gu Yunxin heard someone calling him in a trance, and then slowly opened his eyes, "Hongling, I'm fine, it's just that I dreamed that the prince was in danger just now, and I really can't rest assured." ”

"Master, don't worry, it's not easy for the prince's martial arts to hurt him." Hongling said with relief.

"I still can't rest assured, someone dares to destroy grain and grass under his nose, what else is there in case of this? Tomorrow we will not rest halfway through, so speed up the trip. I can rest assured that he is safe a moment earlier. Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Yes, master, it's still early, so you can sleep a little longer. Tomorrow the slave told them to speed up the journey. ”

"Well, okay, you also have the idea of arranging that matter, we will meet in Yuhua Town, near Tangting Pass." Gu Yunxin said softly.

"Yes, don't worry, master." After finishing speaking, Hongling folded the quilt for Gu Yunxin, and then also covered the cloak and fell asleep beside Gu Yunxin.

The next morning, Gu Yunxin and the others kept hurrying, even if they ate and drank, they were all solved on horseback.

The carriage was driven by a lot of hard work until the evening, when they came across a cave where they could stay.

The way to escort grain and grass is not all big cities and towns, but basically official roads, and it is necessary to send grain and grass to remote border passes, so it is even more impossible to pass through towns and cities.

The official road is built along the mountain, and the walk is also very stable.

Gu Yunxin leaned in the carriage, holding a book in his hand and looking at it casually. It wasn't until the carriage stopped and he settled in the cave that he put the scroll in his sleeve.

"Master, I can only live in a cave tonight, if we pass through a small town tomorrow, where can the master rest and rest." Qingfeng bowed towards Gu Yunxin.

"Well, okay, everyone has worked hard today, let's eat something, let's rest early." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"Yes, the subordinates will arrange it." Qingfeng said lightly.

After watching Qingfeng leave, Hongling approached Gu Yunxin and said, "Master, the slave and maid have already notified them to go in batches, but the manpower to protect the master was originally arranged......"

Gu Yunxin knew that without these shadow guards, plus the people of the Netherworld Pavilion, it would be more convenient to act, but now that these shadow guards are here, many things will be inconvenient to do.

Even if King Rui is the emperor's favorite son, it can't be too powerful, if these shadow guards tell the emperor, King Rui will be in big trouble.

"Can't get in touch, can you?" Gu Yunxin frowned and said.

"There's no way to send this signal." Hongling said anxiously.

"Don't rush yet, we'll act tomorrow." Gu Yunxin said calmly.

In the cave, there was a whirring sound, which made Gu Yunxin can't help but wrap the cloak on his body, this cave shouldn't be a cave of some fierce beasts, if there are fierce beasts, then they will all become a dinner delivered to the door.

"Hongling, I always feel that something is wrong with this cave." Gu Yunxin said softly.

"If the master is not at ease, the slave and maid will check it again." With that, Hongxuan was about to step in.

"Wait, I'll go with you to see, I can't always push the danger to you, I also have to learn to protect myself." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

After speaking, the three masters and servants walked towards the depths of the cave......
