Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Wise Second Prince
There were almost no formed roads in the mountains, so Xiaoguo used the old method of throwing wooden sticks to choose a direction, and walked straight through the mountains and mountains.
The sun rose in the sky again, and Xiaoguo looked at the person beside him, nibbling on someone who should have belonged to him, and said depressedly: "Hey, mouse!" Why are you still following me? You don't think of me as a owner, do you? ”
Mouse, it was Xiaoguo who gave him a nickname, he refused to say his name, Xiaoguo felt that his few "squeaks" were very similar to rats, so he took this name to him.
Qin Wuyin was bent on recovering his strength, and he was too lazy to bother with her, and besides, he went from being angry with her to blowing up his lungs to looking down on her, and even became accustomed to her "humiliation" in every way.
Therefore, Xiaoguo's words did not affect his appetite in the slightest, and he was still eating with his head bored.
To tell the truth, he really followed her to make it easier to eat food.
Two days later, with Xiaoguo's unremitting efforts, they finally got farther and farther away from the imperial city.
He even went to the only place where he met another mountain.
Making a fire is a big problem, and this matter cannot be solved, so they can only eat some ready-made wild fruits all the time to satisfy their hunger.
Fortunately, a few chestnut trees were sent halfway, chestnuts can be eaten raw, and they are quite hungry, Xiaoguo finally feels that his stomach has been empty, and he has a sense of solidity.
Qin Wuyin's physical strength has returned to the level of a normal person, and it stands to reason that it will not be a problem to leave alone at this time, but for some reason, he still follows Xiaoguo's side, eating and drinking silently.
It had rained heavily that night, and they were not as lucky as before, and when they found a cave where they could stay, they had to take refuge under a partially jutting rock.
The rain splashed Xiaoguo's clothes, and when the rain stopped at dawn, she also caught a cold due to the invasion of the cold.
Pinching her breathless nose, she looked around: "Hey! Mouse, are we on the wrong track? Could it be that if you follow this direction, you can't go to Bian Yang City? I remember when I entered the mountain, it was not such a long distance! ”
Unexpectedly, the cold could open her mind and find something wrong.
This woman went straight to the direction of Xishan, and she actually wanted to go to Bian Yang!
Qin Wuyin was scorched by the thunder, but he didn't show it on his face, he only pointed in the direction where he was facing back, and said, "Bian Yangcheng is on that side." ”
Xiaoguo gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky mouse, do you know why you didn't say it earlier, causing me to go so far and wrong?" ”
Qin Wuyin saw her annoyed look with raised eyebrows and eyes, he only felt that he was in a good mood, and the depression of several days in a row was also swept away, and he said casually: "You didn't ask me either!" ”
Xiaoguo had a splitting headache, she glanced at the road behind her, and paused: "Is it difficult, do you want to go back again?" ”
Qin Wuyin nodded matter-of-factly.
Xiaoguo raised his head to the sky and wailed a few times, and sneezed several times in a row.
Qin Wuyin lowered his eyes to hide the smile inside, turned around and walked deeper into the woods: "You wait here, I'll go find something to eat." ”
Xiaoguo twisted his red nose and muttered, "Even if you still have some conscience as a mouse, it's not in vain that I fed you so many heavenly fruits." ”
After a long while, Qin Wuyin finally returned, carrying two pheasants that had been cleaned in his hands.
Xiaoguo raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Stupid mouse, we don't have fire, you don't plan to eat it raw, right?" ”
Qin Wuyin smiled and didn't speak, but he put the chicken on a clean stone, picked up some relatively dry firewood, and piled it together.
Then, in Xiaoguo's jaw-dropping, he took out the flint and lit the pyre.
Until the pheasant is set on the fire and roasted to a fragrant aroma.
Xiao Guo reacted: "You actually have flint on you, why didn't you say it before?" ”
"You didn't ask me." Qin Wuyin slowly reasoned and replied as a matter of course.
Xiao Guo Qi knotted and pointed at him with trembling fingers: "You, you, you!" ”
Without condiments, Xiaoguo still felt that the pheasant was very delicious, and the two of them ate the pheasant and embarked on the return journey.
With the fire, the food problem on the way back has been greatly improved, and Xiaoguo's cold has also been completely cured before leaving the mountain.
The low slope here can already be, and you can see the city gate called Bian Yang in the distance.
Only by this time, it was getting late and the city gates were closed.
Xiaoguo and Qin Wuyin simply ate some, and the mountain chestnuts that had been roasted before were used as dinner, so they took a nap around the campfire.
At midnight, a few strange bird calls rang out in the forest not far away.
Qin Wuyin suddenly opened his eyes, and he glanced at Xiaoguo who was sleeping soundly.
Bian Yangcheng is right in front of her, she shouldn't get lost again!
He thought of something, smiled slightly, and then got up decisively and walked quickly in the direction of the woods.
As soon as he entered the forest, a black figure settled in front of him.
The man in black said: "Gang leader, Huang Zhong's accomplices have been arrested, please decide!" ”
"Got it, you send a message to Deputy Gang Leader Bo, I'll go back to the mountain immediately, and I'll talk about this matter when I go back." Qin Wuyin said.
The man in black hurriedly responded "yes" and was ordered to dodge away.
Qin Wuyin's strength had recovered to three percent, and he used his light skills to return to one place and hide in his foothold outside Bian Yang City.
The servant hurriedly prepared warm water, he finished bathing, changed into new clothes refreshed, and asked the guards who were waiting outside the door early: "Is there something going on in the imperial court?" ”
The guard hurriedly replied: "Back to the second prince, there is no major incident in Zhang Que Kingdom. only received news from the spies that the Empress Dowager Hong Yanguo did not know who had abducted her, and her whereabouts are still unknown. ”
"Is the information reliable?" Qin Wuyin's eyes narrowed slightly, the death of the imperial brother was directly related to this woman, although the responsibility did not lie with her.
"It should be reliable, many people in the palace saw it at that time, and there were officers and soldiers searching pedestrians inside and outside the city every day!"
"Okay, leave a few people waiting for the opportunity, even if you can't prevent this woman from returning to the palace, try to muddy the water." Qin Wuyin sneered.
The guard hurriedly responded "yes", he thought about it, and flattered: "The second prince is smart!" My subordinates have got a portrait of the Queen Mother here, and now it may come in handy, do you want to take a look? ”
"No need! As long as you don't kill anyone, you can do whatever you want! Qin Wuyin waved his hand without interest, "Get me something to eat, and then prepare the horses!" ”
"Yes." The man in black felt a little lost in his heart, but still said respectfully.
What he didn't know was that many years later, the second prince of the gods, he regretted his every move now!
The next morning, Xiaoguo rubbed her eyes and got up, she looked around and found that the person who had been following her was nowhere to be seen.
Are you looking for food?
Xiaoguo searched around, and after making sure that the other party had left, he couldn't help but say indignantly: "This stinky mouse actually left his master and slipped away by himself!" ”
She didn't want to waste any more time looking for breakfast, and after eating a few remaining chestnuts, she hurried in the direction of the city gate.
The city gate has appeared on the horizon, and Xiaoguo's embroidered shoes have worn out a few holes after several days of trekking, and there are many blisters on her delicate feet.
Back to the palace, take a beautiful hot bath, and then eat a big meal, and when she is full, she will fall asleep in the dark!
A better life is just around the corner, come on, Xiaoguo! She gritted her teeth and moved forward.
I could already see a long queue of people waiting to enter the city, Xiaoguo cried with joy, and ran forward with all her strength.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped in front of her.
Before she could come to her senses, the coachman had rudely picked her up and stuffed her into the car.
"Hey! Who are you? What do you want to do? Xiaoguo said angrily.
The coachman paid no attention to her, but quickly whipped his horse, and the carriage galloped away into the field.
Xiaoguo finally walked for a long time, and when she saw that she was going back to the starting point, she couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Anyone who dares to love can bully her and abuse her? She's so weak that she has no power to fight back?
Ma Xiaoguo is not easy to deceive! She pulled off the hosta on her head, held down the mechanism, and shot several shots at the coachman.
After a few stitches, one of the stitches was successfully inserted into the back of the charioteer, and he fell out of the carriage with a crooked body, and then was left far behind.
"Humph! Let you tease me one by one! Xiaoguo said triumphantly.
She laughed twice, then abruptly stopped laughing, her eyes wide and she looked ahead in horror.
There was no one in the chariot, and the horse galloped with her into the woods.
Xiaoguo swayed left and right and climbed to the front of the car, grabbed the reins, and shouted, "Good horse, stop!" Stop it! ”
Due to the language barrier, her words were counterproductive, and the horses seemed to be encouraged to run more happily.
Li Yi couldn't find Xiaoguo inside and outside Bian Yang City, so he immediately resent a large number of people and horses to return to the mountains to search.
In just a few days, he seemed much more emaciated.
Standing in the cave where Xiaoguo was trapped at the end, he frowned, meditating on the escape route that Xiaoguo would choose.
At this time, the leader of the Praetorian Guard ran to report quickly: "Your Highness, someone found a woman who fell to the ground unconscious in the woods below the mountain, suspected to be the Queen Mother. ”
"Lead the way!" Li Yi was shocked and said hurriedly.
The woman was indeed Xiaoguo, and she did not hold the reins, and fell from the carriage and fell into the grass.
When Li Yi arrived, she was lying on the ground, still maintaining the posture when she fell to the ground, a carriage overturned not far away, and the horse was stuck between the branches, constantly wailing.
The Praetorian Guards heard its cry and came looking for it!
Xiao Guo was surrounded by several Praetorian Guards, but no one dared to take another step forward to find out.
Li Yi recognized at a glance that this woman was Xiaoguo.
He shouted back from the crowd, stepped forward and carefully picked up Xiaoguo with trembling hands.
Looking at her sallow face, with a few scratches, she was so angry that she couldn't help but feel like a knife.
Pain surrounded Xiaoguo from all sides, and she couldn't help but snort a few times.
Where is this? It's pitch black, you can't see anything clearly!
Xiaoguo wanted to scream a few times, but found that he couldn't make any sound at all.
Could this be the underworld? Am I already dead?
Xiaoguo thought in confusion.
"Queen Mother, although the injuries seem to be serious, they are only skin injuries, and they do not hurt the internal organs!" An old voice said.
Who's talking? Xiaoguo could hear clearly, but couldn't open his eyes.
"If that's the case, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
It's Xiaoyu's voice!
