Chapter 5: Hunt and Kill

I saw that Yuan Rui and Hanako both swayed slowly to the gate of the city, and they did not dismount, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them out of the city as if they didn't see them. Sun Qian was calm and was about to go out as if nothing had happened, but sure enough, she was blocked by the soldiers led by her, pointing at Yang Lan: "She! Don't go out! Because Sun Qian was still dressed as a man at the moment, and the sky was getting darker, the soldiers didn't even recognize her as a daughter.

Sun Qianzheng didn't know how to answer, and Huazi suddenly returned to his horse and shouted at the soldier: "What is not long-eyed, you dare to stop the guest of His Royal Highness King Changle!" ”

Taken by his momentum, the soldier did not dare to be rashly angry, and said with some weakness and timidity: "We are just acting on orders." ”

Hanako shook his hand and threw the token that Yuan Rui had just handed over to him at the soldier: "Open your dog eyes wide and see clearly, even Dayong himself doesn't dare to stop people here, I think you are tired of life!" ”

The soldier took the token and glanced at it, and immediately respectfully presented it with both hands, and vigorously apologized: "The villain didn't know that His Royal Highness King Changle was coming, and he was offended, so I ask His Highness to forgive me." ”

Huazi took the token, ignored the soldier, and humbly came to Sun Qian and Yang Lan: "Don't be discouraged by such a villain, please!" Let's not let His Highness wait for a long time. Then he shouted at the soldier with another face, "Don't get out of the way!" "It's amazing how quickly the mood shifts. Hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly gave way to an avenue, and when Sun Qian and the others passed by, they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The four of them and the three riders threw Yingyang Town behind the horse in a blink of an eye, and Sun Qian said excitedly to Yuan Rui on the horse: "I can't see that you still have a way, how did you get this token?" In the future, I will also make a piece, and it will be much more convenient to walk the rivers and lakes! ”

Yuan Rui was silent, and Hanako replied on his behalf: "How can you get the royal token, unless Your Highness personally grants it, stealing the token is a capital crime." ”

"That'...... Then you ......" Sun Qian realized that the two of them were not small, and they stammered when they spoke.

Yuan Rui: "I am King Changle, and he is the captain of the city gate." Although they had been mentally prepared, Sun Yang and the others were still stunned and speechless for a while.

Huaiwu is located in Huai County, which is located in the territory of Xianzhou, and it takes about five or six days to ride a horse from Yingyang to the southeast through Shuozhou and Hengzhou. The long road was long and they were not in a hurry, so they found an inn to stay at random that night, and recuperated themselves for the next day.

Just as Yuan Rui was about to go to bed, there was a sudden knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw Sun Qian standing at the door, and she wanted to speak...... Your Highness, the folk girl has offended many people all the way......"

Yuan Rui knew that she was here to apologize, so he teased her for a while: "Really? This king thinks you're doing this to everyone! ”

Sun Qian became more and more frightened when she heard this: "No, no, no, at that time, the folk girl didn't know your identity Your Highness, and only said that you were an ordinary gentleman, so she treated you like that." ”

Yuan Rui pretended to be angry: "Gentleman? Is this king so unbearable in your eyes? ”

Sun Qian said secretly, the darker and darker she became, and she stomped her feet: "Okay, how can Your Highness be willing to forgive me?" Go ahead! ”

Yuan Rui touched his chin with his left hand, looked Sun Qian up and down, and pretended to think: "Why don't you stay here tonight and sleep?" ”

Sun Qian brushed out her sword: "Don't think that you are a prince, this girl is really afraid of you, and it will not end well if you annoy this girl!" ”

Yuan Rui continued to smile: "Pointing a sword at this king, this crime is not light." ”

Sun Qian put away the sword and said angrily: "You change the punishment method again!" ”

Yuan Rui: "Insulting and pointing at the royal family, it would not be too much to kill you ten times or eight times." But it's a pity that His Royal Highness King Changle is far away in Luoyang, and he doesn't know anything about this matter, as for Yuan Rui, who is a common man, he is not a person who holds grudges, and he will not go to tell His Royal Highness King Changle, so you can just be casual. Of course, if you can worship me more in the future, I don't have a problem. ”

"You can be clear, I don't understand!" Sun Qian's tone was still stiff.

At this time, there was a "squeak", Yang Lan pushed the door in, and first saluted Yuan Rui: "The folk girl is a little worried, so she has been secretly following Xiao Qian, and I ask for forgiveness for offending His Royal Highness." Then he moved to Sun Qian's side and took her hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Qian, you still don't understand, Your Highness has a lot of adults, and he doesn't care about you anymore!" ”

Sun Qian thanked Yuan Rui with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Your Highness, the folk girl retired first." ”

"Wait!" Yuan Rui said to Sun Qian, who stopped and looked confused when he heard the words, "If you call me Your Highness again, then the king will hold you accountable for disrespect." In the future, you can continue to call me Yuan Rui, or Brother Rui. ”

Sun Qian saw him teasing himself again, and he didn't think much about pulling out his sword and unsheathing it casually: "your brother Rui!" ”

Yuan Rui slapped his hands and laughed: "That's right!" This is your Miss Sun Qian! ”

Sun Qian couldn't help but smile, and the mustard in her heart disappeared: "Sister Yang and I went out first, Brother Rui, you should rest earlier." I didn't realize that I unconsciously called him "Brother Rui". turned around and walked out of the room, with a slight smile on his face, and he didn't disperse for a long time.

The next day, Sun Qian resumed her daughter's dress, but seeing her hair flying like a waterfall in the wind, her eyes were bright and sultry, and she still had a playful smile on her face, Yuan Rui's eyes lit up. And she also lost yesterday's restraint and continued to play with Yuan Rui. Seeing that Huazi was secretly surprised, she secretly asked Yang Lan what happened last night, Yang Lan just laughed and said nothing, and Huazi had to shake her head helplessly and sigh at the woman's moodiness.

Perhaps because of the majority of mountain roads along the way, and Sun Qian's poor riding skills, Yang Lan was later led by Huazi. Along the way, Sun Qian and Yuan Rui sometimes galloped wildly, sometimes stopped to enjoy the scenery, and completely forgot the fatigue of the road.

"Brother Rui, don't you have any military affairs to deal with as a prince? How do you have time to play around. ”

"Military affairs are now handled by the surname Hu, so naturally there is nothing to do with our surname Yuan."

"Isn't the world of Great Wei your surname Yuan? Where did this guy with the surname Hu come from?"

"Isn't your Huaiwu the peach blossom source of 'I don't know if there is a Han or Wei or Jin'? The surname Hu is naturally the brother and nephew of the current Empress Dowager Hu! However, there are many complicated and boring things in the world, and they can take care of them if they like to manage them, but I am happy to be leisurely, and you can say how comfortable you are when you travel all over the world. ”

"Oh, I see, what kind of officer is the captain of the city gate?"

"That's the one responsible for the defense of the gates in Luoyang."

"He accompanied you out to go crazy, what should I do if something happens in Luoyang? Will you be beheaded? ”

"What is the big deal about the prosperity of the Great Wei Dynasty now? If it is a general miscellaneous matter, Sima and the city gate marquis can be disposed of, and there is no need for him to go out. By the way, why is your second brother always fierce to you?"

"The second brother is serious to no matter who he is, and he doesn't particularly target me."

"Presumably your relationship with your eldest brother must be better than that of your second brother."

"Of course, my eldest brother and father have loved me very much since I was a child, it's like the second brother has a stiff face all day long, and he doesn't have a few nice words."

……

The two seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and Hanako and Yang Lan also kept a distance of fifty or sixty steps from them at all times.

After another day, after trekking for several hours, everyone passed through a small county town, and vaguely saw a mulberry forest not far ahead, thinking that they would be able to eat delicious mulberries after a while, Yuan Rui and Sun Qian both swallowed their saliva unconsciously, full of anticipation. At this time, Hanako suddenly slapped his horse and said to the two: "Don't look back, someone is following us, there are five people in total, about a mile away from us, it seems that the martial arts are not low." ”

Yuan Rui: "What should I do?" ”

Hanakoto: "Go into the woods and hide!" ”

The four of them first pretended not to find the stalker and continued to rush forward slowly, and when they approached the entrance of the forest, Hanako suddenly shouted: "Rush! The three horses spread their hooves and ran into the mulberry grove.

The followers had been leading their horses to follow far away, but they did not expect them to suddenly speed up, and hurriedly mounted their horses and chased them to the mulberry forest. After entering the forest, the five people were dumbfounded, looked around, and saw that the forest was dense and lush, but there was no trace of Yuan Rui and the four of them.

One of them complained: "It's all the fault of the third child, you have to do it where there is no one, this is good, the person is lost, how can I explain it when I go back?" ”

Another retorted: "He's the King of Changle!" The only younger brother of the current emperor! To kill him, of course, the more secretive the better. ”

The man continued, "Even if you don't kill that Changle King, do you still expect the emperor to let us go in the future?" Look at you, you take care of this and that, and you don't care about everyone! ”

Another person said: "The third and fourth, don't quarrel, their horses are still there, it means that the person is nearby, let's look carefully!" "Of the five, he is the only one with white hair and blind eyes wearing an eye patch, if the five of them are ranked by age, then this person should be the boss.

At this time, the four of Yuan Rui were hiding on several mulberry trees, and the conversation of several people under the trees could be heard clearly. Yuan Rui is also a veteran of "walking the rivers and lakes", and he has seen all kinds of people and things, but it is the first time he has been hunted down, and he can't help but be shocked. I was pressed for time just now, and I forgot to let the horse go, and I didn't think of leaving a flaw. At this time, it was only a matter of time before the four were discovered.
