Chapter 45: Two Paths
All night, no news came from anyone, but Yuran's heart didn't feel any relief because of this.
Before dawn, Yuran had already gotten down, dressed well, took care of his appearance, pushed open the door and walked out. Yuran looked up, but saw that she bumped into a face that was exactly the same as herself, she paused, and then smiled: "Cold smoke, you also woke up so early." ”
"Looking at the young lady's expression, she should have stayed awake all night." Zhuo Lengyan sighed and continued: "I thought that someone would come to deliver the message before I left the customs today, but now it is too calm, and it really makes people think about it." “
Yu Ran shook his head, leaned on the back of the door casually, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not necessary to think about it, you and I already know how messy it is outside this city." Even if no one tells me, how can I know nothing? ”
"Miss is not afraid of fraud?" Zhuo Lengyan asked.
"There are many deceptions in this world, and there are not too many of them to be missing." Yu Ran smiled and said, "You should have taken cold smoke for a long time." ”
Zhuo Lengyan was silent, and stood outside the door with Yuran for a long time, seeing that Yuran's expression was flat, and he didn't seem to be carefree, so he said, "Miss, then I'll go in first." ”
Yuran turned around and responded: "Okay, it's still early, you can rest for a while, you have to rush for a day at dawn." ”
At dawn, several people left the inn early and rushed to the city gate. The city gate was bustling with people coming and going, but it was clear that there were many more people guarding it than in the past.
Yu Ran stopped on his horse and handed the document out, and the few people guarding the door looked back and forth a few times, and then clasped their fists at Yu Ran.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please."
A few people walked along the official road, and then they were about to gallop to the path. Xiu Ziqi drove his horse to Yu Ran's side, and asked loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the road ahead is not easy to walk, and the prince is afraid that the Jade Girl will be bumpy and tired, so I want to ask if I can hurry up slower?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Ran glanced thoughtfully at the carriage behind him, and then nodded, "Yes." It's because I didn't think very well, so I should respond to your highness. ”
In the carriage, Rong Xi still looked at ease, he leaned on the back of the carriage, half covering his eyes, his expression was faint, and he was even more lazy when he was dressed in white.
Zhuo Lengyan sat beside Rong Xian, but his mood was not good, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. She has replaced Yu Ran for nearly half a year, but the person who Rong Xi is accompanied by Yu Ran who pretends to be Helian Yu, and now she is sitting in the same carriage with Rong Xi, and the difference between the two of them is nearly one punch, which makes her extremely uncomfortable. Zhuo Lengyan knew in his heart that with Rong Xi's sensitivity, as long as she showed any hint of inappropriateness, she would show her feet.
Outside, Xiuzi slowed down again and walked close to the carriage, and he said loudly at the window: "Childe, Prince Helian said that it is okay." ”
"Okay, I got it." Rong Xi didn't open the curtain, but just answered casually.
Zhuo Lengyan calmed himself down, then raised his eyes slightly, looked at Rong Xian and said, "If we can't enter the city today, then we have to spend the night outside." ”
Rong Xiyun smiled lightly and said, "Ah Ran has any special reason, do you have to enter the city tonight?" ”
Zhuo Lengyan paused and continued: "The places where Anwar's two armies are stationed are not far away, if we are slow, will we put ourselves in danger?" ”
Rong Xun turned his head, a pair of dark eyes fell on Zhuo Lengyan, and then said with a smile: "When did Ah Ran start to worry about the sky?" ”
Zhuo Lengyan knew that if it was jade dyeing, he would definitely not ask again, so he let out a long sigh of relief, raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay, it's up to you." ”
It's just that there are few pleasant things, and a man rode a horse from a distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was extremely fast.
Yu Ran looked at the person who came, it was an acquaintance, and she remembered that it should be Zhuo Lengyan's men.
The young woman rode up to Yuran, who immediately stopped.
"Your Highness!" Su Jiu calmed down and gasped and shouted, "Your Highness can't go over today." ”
Yuran nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Highness, there was news just now, there was an abnormal movement in the Chinese army, it seems that Murong Qi, the second prince of Huaguo, got the news that His Royal Highness was going back to Ningguo, and sent a small number of people to secretly intercept His Highness. Your Highness is now going down this road, and you will meet the pursuers. Su Jiu's tone was anxious.
Yuran's eyes were clear, and he said after a moment: "Why is it that when you get the news now, you don't even know about Leng Yan?" ”
Su Jiu frowned, and said worriedly: "Your Highness doesn't know something, the people who have been planted in the Chinese army have suddenly disappeared recently, and then we felt strange and were afraid that something would happen, so we looked for someone to go over to investigate, but we were also intercepted several times, and we didn't get the news until an hour ago." ”
Yu Ran listened, looked ahead after a moment of silence, and finally calmly raised her thin lips, smiled inexplicably, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the Chinese army here that has changed." ”
"What does Your Highness mean?" Su Jiu pondered.
"I see, you don't have to rush too much first." After Yu Ran finished speaking, he glanced behind him, let Su Jiu wait in place, and then drove back a few steps, bypassed the Xiuzi period and stuck to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw Rong Xian with half-closed eyes, so he opened his lips and smiled: "Your Highness Murong, it seems that our luck today is not good." ”
Rong Xian's expression was lazy, and he couldn't help but look like a wave, Wan Er smiled and said to Yuran: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, our luck has never been better. ”
Yu Ran hooked his lips, raised his eyebrows, looked back at Su Jiu, who was worried, and said calmly: "Then His Royal Highness Murong, it's better to be like this." There was a fork in the road, and we were going to take that shortcut, but now it seems that it is not appropriate. But if we all go the long way together, the goal is too big. Therefore, His Royal Highness Murong and the Jade Maiden took the long road, while me and my attendant took the original shortcut road. Come to think of it, in this way, His Royal Highness Murong can rest assured, and I and the attendants are few, so it must be a lot easier to get out. ”
"It's good to think about it, so it will bother His Royal Highness the Prince." Rong Xi raised his eyes, and his voice was warm.
Rong Xun didn't look back, so he couldn't see the worry in Zhuo Lengyan's eyes, and Zhuo Lengyan stared at Yu Ran. She couldn't understand what Rong Xi was thinking, but the series of things that had happened in the past few days were enough to see something abnormal, and Zhuo Lengyan didn't believe that Yu Ran didn't understand it at all.
Yuran's whole person was bathed in the sun, and he looked particularly handsome. She nodded towards Rong Xi and Zhuo Lengyan, and then smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Murong, Jade Girl, then we will see you in the Ningguo Prince's Mansion." ”
"Okay." Rong Xun nodded in the same way, and then lowered the curtains.
