Section 47 Entering the capital
In fact, Yao Jin is not completely sure about returning to Beijing, she remains in a posture and sits on the blue-gray carriage, listening to the sound of wheels rustling on the narrow path, it is a dark night outside, but her spirit is still very good, not sleepy at all, but how can she rescue Lin Yuebai? Yao Jin took a deep breath, it would be good if Wei Yan was there, he was familiar with the way of the capital, and Concubine Xian would definitely be willing to listen to him- But he was also detained by the bastard Murong San in that Caiyun City, and he didn't know which corner was in the corner, and even Zhao Sheng, who claimed to be able to dig three feet into the ground, couldn't find him-"Cunning Murong San!" Yao Jin scolded secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt that the car was bumping wildly, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked: "Although the path we are walking on is hidden, but the road is so bumpy and difficult to walk, will it delay our entry into Beijing?"
"Back to the princess, not many people know about this road, and it is faster than the official road, but the road is indeed very difficult, if Her Royal Highness the princess can't stand this bump, his subordinates will walk slowly. The reply was Zhao Yu's confidant Liu Xiaolong, who had always followed Zhao Yu's side, and he was ordered to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the princess this time, and he was very careful.
"No, you can go as fast as you can, I'm not afraid of turbulence. Yao Jin smiled, "If you are tired, you can change me to drive, you come in and sleep, so that we can change shifts, it will be faster." ”
"How dare you work Her Royal Highness the princess, your subordinates are not tired, the princess rests. Liu Xiaolong is in his early thirties, he has always been very steady, he looked up at the moonlight sprinkled between the tall branches, and then carefully looked at the road ahead, and said with confidence: "Tomorrow evening, I will be able to enter Beijing." ”
Yao Jin nodded reassuringly and lowered the curtain. She leaned on the wall of the hard carriage, thinking about how to disguise herself, how to go to Buyun Temple to find the viewer she had never met, and how to persuade Wei Nanyan to help...... But somehow, Wei Yan's smiling face kept jumping out of her mind, constantly interrupting her thoughts, the closer she got to the capital, everything she experienced with Wei Yan seemed to jump from her memory to her eyes: he had said that he would accompany her wherever he went, he had hugged her who was about to hang up and begged for help in a panic, the days they spent together in Zichen Palace, but in the end, she caused him to be captured by Murong San.
Yao Jin's eyes were hot, she suddenly became a little weak, wiped the corners of her eyes, hugged her knees like a helpless little girl, buried her face in her arms, and muttered, "Wei Yan, I'm sorry......"
The blue-gray carriage jolted along the winding path, shadows in the woods, and occasionally one or two unnamed birds chirped by, the sound sounded lonely and sad; This person is dressed in green clothes, although there is a slight stubble on his face, but he still can't hide his handsome face, the thick eyelashes are constantly flashing, and the thin lips are tightly pursed, obviously there is something urgent and very anxious.
Although these two groups of people took different paths, they all arrived at the south gate of Li Chao's capital on time in the evening of the next day. The difference is that Yao Jin's carriage quietly stopped in a remote forest on the outskirts of the city, but the man in green clothes entered a white-walled and gray-tiled mansion outside the south gate.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, in order not to expose your identity, after entering Beijing, your subordinates dare to call Your Highness a sister, we pretend to be brothers and sisters, and it is more convenient on the road. I also ask Your Highness to forgive your subordinates for their reckless sins. Liu Xiaolong stood outside the carriage and looked around cautiously, until Yao Jin changed into the clothes of an ordinary girl and got out of the car, he presented a package to Yao Jin, "There are some ordinary people's clothes inside, and please ask Your Highness to take it, so it looks more natural." ”
"You're very thoughtful, that's good. Yao Jin smiled and took the package of the red floral cloth, but at a glance he saw the gold-inlaid jade dragon bracelet in his hand, and couldn't help frowning: "This thing is not something that ordinary girls can wear." ”
After that, she conveniently took off the bracelet, tore off a small jade Buddha from her neck, fastened the bracelet with the rope of the jade Buddha and hung it back around her neck, and hid the bracelet under her middle coat, and finally looked at the little jade Buddha twice, "This thing seems to have been brought out of the front palace, the thing is not eye-catching, so let's stuff it in the package first." Now it's a little dark, and the gatekeepers are probably not so careful, so let's get into the city quickly. ”
"Yes. ”
The two of them were dressed as ordinary civilians: Liu Xiaolong was wearing a linen robe with only strips of cloth tied to his hair bun, and Yao Jin was wearing a powder blue shirt, a gray skirt of the most ordinary kind, and only a plain silver hairpin on his bun, and the two entered the city with a calm look.
The capital of the Li Dynasty is a prosperous capital, even if the land of the Li Dynasty is full of war, the capital is still drunk, dreaming, singing and dancing, as if everyone thinks that the capital is an iron wall, let him be stormy outside, the inside is still the same.
"Buyunguan is on the west mountain, and the west mountain has only one mountain road, and it must pass through the gate on the west side of the city. Let's rest for one night tonight and go again tomorrow, otherwise if we go out of the West Gate so late, the hour may not be in time, and it will be a bit dazzling. ”
"I think so too," Yao Jin nodded, and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the inn near the West Gate to stay, there are too many people here at the South Gate." ”
Although the two tried their best not to attract attention, after all, they were not from the capital, they were not familiar with the road, and they looked at it, and after a while, they were targeted by several dayghosts who often wandered around the city gates.
The so-called daytime ghosts are robbers who rob people and their belongings in broad daylight, and they generally do not dare to attack the big doors, and they are not interested in ragged clothes, but they only specialize in robbing ordinary people's homes. These people are hovering around the South Gate all the year round, and they are very familiar with the road, seeing that Yao Jin and them are taking the small road, so they scattered and followed behind, and it didn't take long for a group of people to intercept Yao Jin and Liu Xiaolong in a dead end.
"Yo, where did the little lady come from, she looks weird and handsome, what are you doing in the capital?" One of the tallest robbers walked towards Yao Jin head-on, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth and a stick in his hand.
"What do you want to do?" Yao Jin grabbed Liu Xiaolong, who was about to make a move, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, they are asking for money, just give it to them." ”
Liu Xiaolong snorted, clasped his hands into fists and bowed his head to the few people who came up behind him: "The villain and his sister are here to look for relatives in the capital, although there are not many silver taels on their bodies, but if the masters can see it, please take it all to drink, just let the villain and sister go!"
"Yes, let us go!" Yao Jin begged for mercy while busily untying his money bag and throwing it on the ground.
Several robbers saw that the money bag fell to the ground with a sonorous sound, knowing that there was a lot of silver, and the tall man in the lead saw that the money was easy to come and became greedy again, and saw that the red burden on Yao Jin's body was very eye-catching, and his mouth was deflated, and he said: "What about the burden, shake it out and show it to the master!"
