Li Man opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the shrinking giant city behind him, and his heart was indescribable.

This is the first time she has left the imperial capital and traveled far away, and perhaps from now on, she will never see this ancient city that gave birth to her and raised her.

The parting with thousands of thoughts accompanied by the depression of winter finally made her feel a little more sad in her heart.

The haggard Li Yao had already fallen asleep on her lap, and no one spoke along the way, only the horse's hooves kicked.

Zhao Xian followed closely next to him, his hands were in his sleeves, his face was as pale as snow, and his complexion was a little more delicate than that of a woman. The expression is serious, as usual, and he does not smile.

What about him?

Leman stuck his head out a little to see where the man was.

"Eat?"

As soon as she stuck her head out of the car window, Jing Ge suddenly stretched out the pastry in front of her from behind, almost hitting her in the face and startling her.

"No, thank you." She subconsciously responded.

"Oh." Jing Ge didn't say anything, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then handed it to Qianxue behind him.

It was the osmanthus cake made for him by Jing's mother, which was crystal clear and yellow, melted in the mouth, and had a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. The last time I tasted this pastry was many years ago.

"I'm going to eat a piece." Li Man thought for a moment and spoke. She liked it very much, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed that she had refused too quickly, and after some ideological struggle, she decided to put down her face first.

"Give it all to her." Jing Ge said.

"And go get a set of normal clothes to change for her." Jing Ge paused, and then ordered Qianxue.

"Why change your clothes?" Li Man asked a little strangely, puzzled.

"Your clothes are so shiny that they dazzle other people's eyes." Jing Ge said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Man pursed her lips, looked at Li Yao, who was asleep on her lap, and said softly, "Is it feasible to wait for my sister to wake up?" ”

"Well, okay." Jing Ge nodded.

"Why come with me?" She asked in a low voice, this trip was dangerous and difficult, and the Li royal family was already ashamed of him, so there was no need for him to do this at all.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask for help, even the Empress Wu would not have forcibly asked him to accompany him. Li Man looked at the group of officials behind him with sad faces, they were all forced to go and were asked to go by the Empress Wu.

"Because, without me, you can't reach the country of Qi." Jing Ge replied lightly.

"Although this trip is not easy, but with Zhao Xian's father-in-law and many city guards guarded by experts, it is expected that there will not be much of a problem. It's better for you to go back to the imperial capital, don't run around and take risks. Li Man hesitated and said.

"It's true that there are a lot of masters in this team of city guards, but how many of them are really protecting you, but I don't know." Jing Ge said with a playful smile.

Although the city guards are in the hands of Empress Wu, it is difficult to know how many of these 3,000 people have been secretly bribed and encircled at this juncture.

In addition, Empress Wu has lost control of the place, even if the three thousand city guards are loyal and fully guarded, they will not be able to break through the obstacles.

Li Man thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. Her second brother is now in the Hedong Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, if he doesn't want to go to Qi by himself, I'm afraid it won't be useful to bring out all the city guards in the imperial capital.

"Then you shouldn't be with me, what if you encounter danger when the time comes." Li Man felt that if he affected Jing Ge, he would be even more ashamed of the generalissimo and his wife.

"Let's talk about it when I encounter it, when I really can't help it, I'll just run for my life." Jing Ge said with a smile.

"The front is out of the imperial capital, and will enter Huainan County, and when your sister wakes up, she will quickly change her clothes. Jing Ge said.

"Ah, so you asked me to change my clothes for this reason." Li Man was speechless, he had just left the imperial capital, and he had to prepare for his life.

Having lived in the deep palace for a long time, she doesn't know much about the situation outside. Now seeing Jing Ge's appearance, the worry in his heart is also a little thicker, and he can't help but be a little scared.

"Or else? Is it to take a peek while you're changing clothes? Jing Ge said jokingly.

Looking at the speechless Li Man's blushing face, Qianxue next to him covered his mouth and chuckled, no matter when and where, His Royal Highness will not change his life, and he always likes to flirt with women.

"Father-in-law Zhao, from now on, no one is allowed to approach this carriage." Jing Ge said.

"Okay, the old slave understands." He obeyed Jing Ge's words without the slightest rebuttal, obviously because the Empress Wu had explained in advance.

"The team will be in place for an hour before setting off." It was almost noon, and Jing Ge asked the team to stop and trim and eat.

After making an inspection, there seemed to be nothing unusual for the time being, except for the accompanying officials who were complaining about their grievances. Those fat-headed and big-eared officials are used to enjoying themselves on weekdays, but now they have not been traveling for half a day, and they are still sitting in the carriage, and they have begun to cry and shout.

"What's noisy here? Keep your mouths shut. Qianxue was annoyed by hearing this and scolded.

When those people saw that the person who scolded them was just a maid, they had a feeling of being insulted. A mere maid is nothing.

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to speak to this official so loudly, even if your Royal Highness talks to me, you need to be polite." One stood up and said angrily.

"Heh, you don't seem to have figured out the situation, now you are not in the imperial capital, and the city guards will not obey your orders." Qianxue sneered.

"You..." the man pointed at Qianxue and was so angry that he couldn't speak, and suddenly saw that Jing Ge was not far away. immediately shouted loudly, "Feiyang Houye is so magnificent, even the maids are so arrogant." ”

His voice was so loud that it caught the attention of quite a few people.

Jing Ge approached when he heard the voice, asked about the situation slightly, and immediately scolded Qianxue with a straight face.

"How can you speak to those adults like that?"

"Oh, what should I do?" Qianxue lowered her head and replied weakly.

"It's useless to talk to them like that, don't you see they're making louder noises now? If you think they're noisy, you can beat them until they're unconscious, or knock their heads off so they're much quieter. Jing Ge is colorful.

"Oh, Your Highness is still smart, and the slave is too dull." Qianxue suddenly replied with a sense of enlightenment.

The accompanying officials were all stunned when they heard his words.

"Don't be nervous, everyone, I'm just kidding." Jing Ge turned around and said to them with a smile.

Two or three laughed along.

"I'm joking, but she's not joking." Jing Ge pointed to Qianxue again and said, then turned around and walked away.

These officials are all moths of wine bags and rice barrels, and the Empress Wu sent them out to support the scene and send them to death. It's insignificant at all, so naturally there is no need to give them a good face, even if Qianxue really kills one or two in anger, Jing Ge won't say anything.

Qian Xue looked at the ugly faces of those officials, and felt funny in her heart, a group of cowards were frightened by His Royal Highness, and they didn't care about them at the moment, but just followed Jing Ge closely.

"It seems to be Huainan County in front, right?" Qianxue said.

"That's right, I'm about to enter Huainan County." Jing Ge came back from Linqi City with Shangguan Junyue a year ago, and he remembered the journey back thousands of miles in his heart, and he was very familiar with it.

Huainan County is adjacent to the imperial capital, and the bandits and rebels are not too rampant, but Jing Ge does not dare to take it lightly. Those princes are plotting for the throne, and he is not as simple as Li Man, who thinks that they will take care of friendship and the overall situation, and will not attack them.

"The spies have come to report that there is a large group of bandits gathered in this county, and I am afraid that they are coming at us." Qianxue whispered.

Jing Ge nodded, originally on the way to the northwest border, he had also encountered bandits who occupied the city. Jing Ge had already sent someone to report back to Shangguan Junyue, but when he came back this time, he found that no prince had been disposed of, which surprised him a little, his judgment was wrong, and the person behind the scenes was a little more powerful than he imagined.

Qian Xue saw Jing Ge's expression as usual, calm and calm, and immediately had nothing to worry about.

"Come on, come on, the rabble can't help us, just add more souls under the sword." She said in a deep voice, a cold light in her eyes.

Jing Ge shook his head with a smile, "Even if it is a rabble, it is extremely difficult, and these three thousand city guards are not all of one heart, if we don't turn against us and attack us secretly, we will burn incense and worship the Buddha, if it is replaced by three thousand northwest iron horses, we can push all the way over." ”

"Once there is a war, it will probably be a mess, and then the only way to take the two princesses with them will be to slip away. Don't be in love with war, be careful, the situation is not right, and then run for your life. Jing Ge admonished.

"Got it, Your Highness." Qianxue replied with a smile, His Royal Highness is not a good-looking person, he can fight if he can, but he can't run faster than anyone else.

"It's good to really know, otherwise if you get hurt, Zijie will have to resent me to death, this is the letter he entrusted me to you." Jing Ge took out an adobe-brick thick envelope in his arms, which Wei Zijie had secretly stuffed into him in the imperial capital before.

Jing Ge once suspected that he was not here to see him off, and the main purpose was to help deliver the message himself. Plastic brotherhood, this thick stack, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of words, is it still a letter?

"Hmph, I don't want it." Qianxue took it and casually left it on the barren meadow.

"I've got the letter to you anyway." Jing Ge said indifferently.

"I'll go ahead and take a look." He didn't pick up the adobe letters on the ground, but went straight back to the ranks and walked over to the generals of the city guard to talk to them.

"Your Highness is waiting for me." Chiyuki followed.

Jing Ge chatted with the generals for a while, looked back, and found that Qianxue was no longer behind him, and immediately smiled and walked towards the grass where the letter had been lost.

"What are you looking for?" He looked at Qianxue, who had plowed the barren meadow, and asked with a smile.

"No, not looking for anything?" Jing Ge came over quietly, she didn't notice it, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and shy when she was bumped into by him.

"Are you looking for this?" Jing Ge took out the adobe bricks and asked with a playful smile.

"Oh, I hate it, your Highness, you actually tricked me!" Qianxue covered her flushed face and stamped her feet in anger.

"Okay, okay, just because I haven't been here, girl, your things have dropped." Jing Ge threw the letter to the ground and dodged it away.
