Murong Zihua saw Murong Jing turn around and shake his head at him, and then looked up to see that the sky was already twilight, and there seemed to be black clouds moving slowly in the west. After a cursory calculation in his heart, he knew that if he didn't try again, he was afraid that if they rushed to the dock, the boat that Yao Jin was on would definitely sink to the bottom of the river at night, and the bones would be difficult to find.

"Childe, that boat won't be able to hold out to the middle of the Neijiang River at most. But if you don't leave the city, it will definitely be too late," Murong Jing's eyes flickered, "Why don't I go and kill the two gatekeepers secretly, change into their clothes, and let us blend in?"

"No," Murong Zihua shook his head, "It's too much of a movement, and besides, the soldier's outfit can only help us enter the city, and we may not be able to catch up with it if we pass through the city in a covert way." ”

"But there is a mountain ahead, there is no road at all, and it is too late to climb the mountain-"

The corners of Murong Zihua's mouth rose, "It's a mountain, and there are cliffs on the mountain, and under the cliffs is a tributary of the Neijiang River." ”

"Okay," Murong Jing's face was full of pride, "Then let's see if we jump off the cliff fast, or if the ship sinks fast!"

"Let's go!"

At this time, Yao Jin and his entourage had also boarded the ship one after another. The guards carried all the luggage into the cabin one by one, and the chief guard accompanied Long Wan to take a final count, and when all the carrying work was completed, the accompanying guards and palace maids were also in place, but Yao Jin always stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Neijiang River that seemed to have no end in sight from a distance, she rarely looked so calm without speaking, and a lilac Shu brocade cloak swayed slightly with the river breeze, which was noble and elegant, and made people look up.

At this time, although the dock had been cleared by Sun Xijun's people, there were still bold people not far away who poked their heads out of the teahouse or the windows of their homes, talking about this most noble lady of heaven in the Li Dynasty.

"That's the princess who wants to marry the Min Kingdom, it's really noble!"

"I heard that I saved a girl who was almost snatched away by the Sun family in the tea shop today, she is beautiful and kind-hearted. ”

"I heard that this princess is only fifteen years old, and she is going to marry far away from Fujian, pitiful. ”

"Look at her so petite, it doesn't seem to have grown yet, I see, the fragrant girl in Qufanglou is three points more beautiful than her!"

"Looking for death, you, this is a royal princess, how can you compare it with the woman in the Qinglou. ”

Although the whispers and gossip of the people could not reach Han Jing's ears, it was really unacceptable for him to see the princess standing at the bow of the ship in such a large public without even wearing a veil, so he hurriedly said on the side: "Your Highness, the wind is strong on the bow of the ship, and the sky is dark, you better go into the cabin and rest." ”

"I'll go in again when the girl comes. ”

What Yao Jin said was naturally the father and daughter who were rescued in the tea shop. Because she boarded the ship early, she naturally couldn't wait to see the two again the next morning, so she sent someone to tell Sun Xijun to ask his son to quickly find a wishful husband for the girl, and come to this dock together to thank him. That Sun Xijun didn't know where to find Ruyi Langjun for a while, so naturally he scolded his son first when he returned home, and he was afraid of delaying the princess's trip.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the official is late to see you off, please forgive your Highness!" Sun Xijun ran onto the boat breathlessly, and a man and a woman next to him also came up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hmm. Yao Jin didn't pay much attention to Sun Xijun, but stretched out his hand to the girl, "Come here." ”

"People's daughter Lu Tao, thank Her Royal Highness the princess for her great kindness!"

Yao Jin saw that the girl had changed into a neat new dress, her hair was newly combed, and there were a few strings of broken pearls on it. She nodded and asked kindly, "What about the Ruyi Langjun I asked Sun Gongzi to find for you?"

Lu Tao lowered her head a little shyly and looked at the young man beside her wryly. The young man was dressed as a scholar, and although he was only wearing plain linen clothes, he was polite and dignified. When he saw Yao Jin looking at him, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and gave Yao Jin a salute steadily: "Xiaosheng Wangxiang, thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her marriage! ”

Yao Jin looked the scholar up and down, nodded and said: "Wang Xiang, your name is very good, the prince and the general, I wish you a day in the future to be called the king and worship the prime minister, and it is not in vain the fate of this princess and you today." ”

After that, Yao Jin glanced at Sun Xijun next to him, and said loudly: "Yang Ying, bring the pair of jade golden hairpins that my father gave to this princess, and give them to Wang Xiang and Lu Tao, it is the princess's wedding gift to congratulate them." ”

Sun Xijun also glanced up at Yao Jin at this time, and when he saw Yao Jin's eyes narrow, he hurriedly said: "Princess Qiyu, Xia Guan has also given Miss Lu and Wang Gongzi a mansion, and there are five hundred taels of silver, which is also a little bit of Xia Guan's heart......

"It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I think this Wang Xiang is a scholar, he doesn't want your mansion, give him a future." Yao Jin walked up to Wang Xiang and asked, "Have you ever tested your fame?"

Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and was a little excited for a moment: "Princess Huiyu, Xiang was admitted to Xiucai last year, but because there is no place and no one recommends him, so——"

"Needless to say, the princess knows about officialdom. Yao Jin's tone was slightly raised, and he said to Han Jing: "Lord Han, there should be a lot of vacancies in your Ministry of Rites in Beijing, right?"

Han Jing naturally knew what Yao Jin meant, although he didn't know whether there was a vacancy or not, he also nodded at this moment: "Exactly, there are indeed many vacancies, and there are no talents, and they have not yet been filled." ”

"Well, it's just that this princess is in the harem and is not allowed to interfere in politics......" Yao Jin paced next to Sun Xijun again, and suddenly raised his voice: "Lord Sun?"

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands! Wang Gongzi is talented, Xia Guan should make a good way for Gongzi and go to Beijing to seek a good deed!" Sun Xijun agreed, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart: Lao Tzu himself couldn't find a position in the capital, but he wanted to work for this poor sour boy!

Yao Jin nodded with satisfaction, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiang suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess! Xiang is very grateful to you for this arrangement between me and Lu Tao, but Xiang even feels that since he is full of talent, he should go to the place where he is really needed to show it, although the capital is prosperous, it will wear down people's will, Xiang, I don't want to go to the capital!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Yao Jin was stunned, but even Sun Xijun and Han Jing were speechless. Yang Ying was holding the sandalwood box of the jade golden hairpin next to him, and also looked at him stunned: "The capital is an excellent place, why doesn't the son want to go?"

Yao Jin's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said happily: "Wang Xiang, you are really a talent! If you want to make a career, you will not be afraid of hardship and tiredness, even if you are asked to go to the small city of Biansai to be a petty official, as long as you can make some political achievements, you must not care, right?"
