Chapter 373 inquires about news
The next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, and the moon was still hanging in the treetops, I heard the crisp sound of the bell on the carriage horse.
Feng Chengyi quietly opened the door, and the frosted wooden bridge was full of pedestrian footprints.
When the coachman saw him come out, he hurried to lead his horse.
Taking the rope, Feng Chengyi sat properly on the horse's back with one cross-leg, and he glanced back at the door, as if he wanted to look through the room to see if Mu Xiwan was still sleeping as soundly as when he got up just now.
But time was running out, Feng Chengyi waved the whip, and the horse's roar was accompanied by the sound of "stampede" horse steps, and the shadow of the person gradually disappeared within a radius of several miles.
Now he can only go back to Darong to find the right time to attack Beiyan, otherwise he is worried that if Mu Xiwan is here for one more day, it will be more dangerous.
At the same time, Mu Xiwan was standing in front of the window, watching Feng Chengyi's departing back. The light gray light shone through her face, but she couldn't see her expression clearly. She could only be seen leaning against the wooden window, her body was thin and thin, as lonely as a plum in a vase in this room.
But when she picked up the mirror, it was a different face.
Now Qi Cheng'an's people must be searching for her outside, and it is more convenient to change her face to inquire about the news.
She looked at her new face with satisfaction, then changed her clothes and left the stockade with her saber.
Walking back along the way up the mountain, Mu Xiwan was thinking about what to do.
Now Qi Cheng'an and his half-brother have their own ghosts, if they are allowed to fight among themselves, it will definitely affect the princes of all sizes, and when the time comes, this layer of food chain will definitely make the entire Beiyan chaotic, and then Darong will have a few more chances of winning when he attacks Beiyan.
Mu Xiwan rolled her eyes, and suddenly remembered the princes in the palace, and then the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Some time ago, she had already heard that Queen Beiyan and Qi Cheng'an were very discordant, and the two broke up unhappily many times, and the purpose of this was self-evident.
The second prince of the dynasty is the heart of the queen, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of flying in the palm of his hand. Such doting must want to make him the most honorable person in Beiyan, and Qi Cheng An Taoguang has been in obscurity for so long, he must also want to make a splash and win the throne.
And the queen and the second prince must be his biggest enemies.
When he thought that there was an extremely vicious heart hidden under the seemingly inactive appearance, he dared to destroy Leng Thirteen's eyes, and Mu Xiwan felt uneven in his heart.
Thinking of this, she heard the sound of the hawker shouting, and when she looked up, she saw that there was already a market in front of her, and people had already begun to pack up their stalls and prepare to sell them at the beginning of the sun. The women carried baskets in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
She found a random vendor and asked where the nearest tavern was.
The peddler glanced up at her, and saw that the man in front of him, though he was dressed in a blue cloth robe, had a majestic spirit, and there seemed to be no other man in the market who could match him.
"Childe, there's a tavern around the corner ahead." Mu Xi saw that the hawker's eyes were wrong, and he was a little more vigilant.
Then the peddler chatted with her again, and when he saw that Mu Xiwan's eyes were getting more and more wrong, he said hesitantly: "My family's cuihua is already eighteen years old, I don't know what the son thinks?" ”
Ha? Mu Xiwan smiled helplessly, and slipped away after a perfunctory moment.
When I came to the tavern, although it was still early, more or less people had already sat on the seats, and it seemed that they had been pulling goods here for many years, wearing sweaty yellowed white vests and gulping down wine, and the muscles exposed were bronze.
I don't know if it's the illusion of Mu Xiwan, through their conversations, they always feel that the quality of life of the people in Beiyan is getting worse now, and the wrinkles on their faces show a sad look.
Seeing that there were new guests, the shopkeeper quickly took off the towel on his shoulder, and greeted Mu Xiwan with a smile: "Guest officer, if you want to eat something, do you want the best jade ice roast in our store, who has never heard of our treasure in this town store within a radius of 100 miles." ”
Mu Xiwan waved her hand, she was here to inquire about the news, but not for entertainment: "You don't need wine, you have to hurry later, just bring me a plate of peanuts and a few side dishes." ”
With a "okay", the shopkeeper left the place. When the shopkeepers saw this, they cast their eyes on this side, and a few bold men approached with wine bowls to take a look. This is not surprising, the faces of the people in this room are tanned by the poisonous sun, and they cherish a white face to be born late, as if a plate of black beans mixed with a red bean is as eye-catching.
A middle-aged man with good facial features and a burly figure happened to be sitting at the next table, and asked curiously: "Man, where are you from, why haven't you seen it before?" ”
Mu Xi saw someone talking to him in the evening, so he arched his hand and said: "Xiaosheng is a scholar who travels around, and when he first arrived in Beiyan today, his stomach was very panicked, and he happened to meet a tavern, so he came to rest." I have heard that the men of Beiyan are all physically strong, and they can resist thousands of catties of Qinglong Knife, and when I see you today, it really deserves its reputation. ”
Everyone likes to listen to good words, so Mu Xiwan and them are like fellow villagers meeting fellow countrymen, especially cordial. In addition, they are all pulling goods, and they all have a bold spirit in their bones, and after a while, Mu Xiwan chatted with them hotly.
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was so good, Mu Xiwan was also unceremoniously, and directly asked the shopkeeper to pour a bowl of jade ice for everyone, and the money was on her head.
The shopkeeper smiled so much that he couldn't see his face, but there was a brother who showed a sad look at such a happy moment.
"Li Laohan, what's wrong with you?"
The person called Li Laohan glanced at everyone, and then sighed: "I haven't smelled such a fragrant smell for a long time, and the last time it was given to me by the second prince." ”
Speaking of Qi Chengyu, Mu Xiwan raised her eyebrows, pretending not to know this person very well and asking everyone.
Only then did I know that this second prince was a god in the minds of the people of Beiyan, he was close to the people and loved the people, and whenever there were poor people in the places he passed by when he went out of the palace, he would definitely be relieved. Therefore, although he does not live in the East Palace, he is more popular than the one in the East Palace.
After listening to it, Mu Xiwan had a plan in his heart. This Qi Chengyu does good deeds and leaves a name, he must know the truth of "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" and attach great importance to the views of the people.
Since this is the case, then she will do everything she can and turn this advantage into a weapon for the intrigue between the two brothers.
