It's just past the New Year, and there aren't many people on the official road. Occasionally, there are people who are in a hurry, and most of them are young and strong people, bringing their wives and children to visit their relatives. There is often laughter on the face, and the festive spirit is undiminished.

The princess's caravan was neither fast nor slow, sailing from north to south, sailing at the forefront, without a shadow at his side.

"No shadow, this is only a hundred miles, and I feel that the climate is much warmer."

Wuying looked up at the sun and replied with a smile: "My lord, it is noon at this time, the sun is high and naturally warm, how can there be such a difference when you walk out so close." ”

"Well, you don't know." Yuanhang turned his head on his horse and said: "The southern part of our country is the equator, and the place near the equator is hot all year round, and the further north it is, the lower the temperature. I think I was in Luzhou, where even if it was winter, there was no need to wear a coat, and if I expected it to be good, Luzhou would be further south, and the other side of the sea would be the equator. ”

After hearing this, Wuying praised: "The adult is knowledgeable and knows everything, no wonder Lord Zhan said that the adult is the immortal material of the Great Liang, and he will be able to stand high in the middle of the court in the future." ”

"Haha......" Yuanhang laughed, shook his head and said: "I don't have this heart, I just want to live in peace with a few ladies, if the beam is too peaceful, I want to retreat to the fields." ”

"Hehe, that's a blessing." Shadowless laughed too, and the two of them walked forward together.

In the afternoon, just after passing a small village, the ninth princess sent someone to pass the word, saying that the abdominal pain was unbearable, and whether it was possible to postpone the journey. The voyage ordered the convoy to stop, and turned back to the princess's car.

"Princess, but the road is bumpy?" Yuanhang dismounted and walked to the side of the car, and asked through the curtain.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, so find a place to rest." The ninth princess was holding her abdomen in the car, and she was in great pain. Birou wiped the sweat from her forehead with a sweat towel on the side.

Yuanhang heard the change in the princess's voice, and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly ordered Wuying to lead the two iron guards back and go to the village to find a place for the princess to rest.

The convoy turned around and came back again, a short distance north along the road, turning west down the official road to the village. Wuying had already made two bags of silver to a farmer's house, the convoy stopped outside the courtyard, and Birou helped the princess into the house. The voyage dispersed the guards and turned into the house.

Soon after the princess's convoy entered the village, two fast horses galloped from south to north on the official road, and two men in strong suits whipped and urged urgently, and in an instant, they drove past the intersection of the village and went straight to Jiangzhou.

The princess lay on her side on the bed, her two curved eyebrows tightly locked. Birou brought hot water, walked to the bedside, and said lightly: "Princess, let's drink some water first, Lord Ye has already sent someone to find Langzhong." ”

"The princess rests first, it should be a bump, and it will be fine." Yuanhang stood aside and comforted.

The ninth princess glanced up at him, a little angry at him, and said, "You are not me, how do you know that I will be fine." ”

This...... You don't look sick, but you're just delicate.

"Princess, if you don't hurry up at dawn, I'm afraid you'll miss the post station......"

"What if you miss it, I'll rest here tonight." After speaking, the ninth princess turned over, leaving Yuanhang with a back.

Yuanhang glared at the princess fiercely, but he didn't dare to say more, shook his head lightly and retired.

"It's over, it looks like we're going to suffer all the way." Yuanhang now knows that as long as you miss a post station, you will miss it one by one, unless you only rush for half a day tomorrow, and you will rest when you meet a post station. Thinking of the beginning, how could I not be like this, and the harmful Zhan Hu had to accompany him.

Wuying stepped forward and said, "Since the princess has decided to stay here, the lord is also persuaded not to move, and the subordinates should be strictly guarded." ”

"Well, people in front and behind and left and right must be investigated, and there must be no mistakes." Yuanhang said as he looked around left and right. Don't dare to be careless at this time, if something happens to the princess, her family will suffer, and my girl is not yet full moon.

"Don't worry, sir." Shadowless nodded in response.

It was dark, and Yuanhang pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. The princess had not come out since she entered the house, nor had she summoned herself, so she thought that she should be fine. Fortunately, Qinghe brought a few thick clothes for himself when he left, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it at this time.

Tightening his collar, he sailed towards the princess guards who were sitting in the courtyard.

"Adults are coming, the night is dark, don't get cold." Qiu Dong, the leader of the Iron Guard, saw Yuanhang coming, stood up from the fire, raised his foot and kicked the Iron Guard beside him, and the Iron Guard hurriedly made room for Yuanhang.

"Everyone's worked hard." Yuanhang greeted with a smile, sat down, and reached out to roast his hands in front of the fire.

"Don't dare, it's an honor for my subordinates to protect the princess." Qiu Dong responded and sat down next to Yuanhang.

"Leader Qiu, where is home?"

"Lord Hui, my subordinates are from Luzhou."

"Luzhou people?" Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "The year before last, the Luzhou earthquake, have you been in Luzhou?" ”

Qiu Dong gloomed, shook his head, and said, "At that time, the Holy Lord was choosing an iron guard for the princess, I was already in the back hall, and my family members were all killed in that earthquake......

"Oh, I shouldn't have brought it up." Yuan Hang saw that Qiu Dong was sore and hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, it's been a long time, do you know about the earthquake?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm also from Luzhou, so you and I are still fellow villagers." Yuanhang laughed.

"Really? It is a blessing for subordinates to be able to go with adults. Qiu Dong was a little surprised, and laughed.

"It was that earthquake that made me leave Luzhou and go north to Jingzhou, so I met Lord Zhan and became an official in the court."

Qiu Dong nodded, and said to Yuanhang: "My lord's righteousness, our iron guard has been admired for a long time, and it is a coincidence that my subordinates are fellow villagers with you. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Yuanhang smiled and turned around with his fists.

"It's cold at night, just change the guards, brothers, and I'll go back to rest first." Yuanhang chatted for a while, felt sleepy, and made a round to prepare to go back to the house.

"My lord, please take please, there are brothers around the princess's room, and we will go and change them later." Qiu Dong got up to see him off, and the voyage was polite and went back to the house.

The time has arrived, the city gate of Jiangzhou is slowly closing, the two black spots outside the south gate are moving quickly, just when the city gate is about to close, two fast horses squeezed in the crack of the city gate, and then there was a "bang" sound, the city gate closed heavily.

After the two horsemen entered the city to inquire, they went straight to the garrison mansion, and the mounts drove until they reached the gate of the mansion before stopping, and the two looked into the mansion on their horses.

"Who are you waiting for? Why don't you dismount before you get to the garrison? The soldiers in front of the house saw the two men looking at the palace on their horses, and at the same time drew their swords and stood on guard.

The man in front of him pulled the reins on his horse, and the mount spun around in place.

"We came from the back hall to see Lord Guarded Ye."

"Your Excellency is not in the house, it's getting late today, I'll come back tomorrow if I have something, leave quickly."

"I have something extremely important to tell my lord, you wait to tell you quickly, you and I can't afford to delay the big thing." Immediately, the man was unmoved, and replied without changing his face.

"What's the noise?" A man walked out of the garrison and stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back.

"Back to the military staff, these two people said that they came from the back hall, and they asked to see the garrison on important matters, but they were blocked by their subordinates, but they didn't leave."

The person who came out was Fu Yashi, who was walking around the mansion with nothing to do. Fu Yashi was walking to the door of the mansion, and when he heard the sound of talking outside the door, he came out to see what was going on.

"From the back hall?" Fu Yashi muttered to himself and stared at the two. The eight large lanterns outside the door illuminated the front of the house, although it was not clear to see the faces of the visitors, but when I saw that the two mounts were snoring incessantly, and the four hooves moved back and forth, it was known that they must have arrived after a long run, and it seemed that it was not fake.

"Who are you, and what are you looking for the Garrison?" Fu Yashi stood on the steps and asked down.

The two men immediately looked at Fu Yashi, but they were silent. The soldier in front of the door stepped forward and said, "This is Lord Fu Yashifu, the military staff of the garrison, you have something to say to him." ”

The two men turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to deal with Yashi, and said: "Fu Junshen, it's really a big matter, we need to see Lord Ye in person to inform me, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Fu Yashi didn't mind, nodded lightly, and said, "Since the matter is important, I won't ask more, but Lord Ye is not in the mansion, I'm afraid you will wait for nothing." ”

"I don't know where the adults have gone, but will they come back tomorrow?" When the man heard Fu Yashi, he already believed that the garrison was not in the mansion.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in more than a month." Fu Yashi replied lightly.

"Huh?" The man was taken aback, and then asked, "Is the ninth princess still in the mansion?" ”

Fu Yashi was shocked, they actually knew that the princess had come, it seemed that it was someone from the back hall, but they didn't know who sent it and why they came.

Fu Yashi shook his head and said, "The ninth princess is not in the mansion. ”

"Oops." The man shouted out loudly, hugged his fists to Fu Yashi and asked, "The matter is urgent, please tell the military staff when the lord and the princess returned to the back hall." ”

Fu Yashi was not only suspicious at this time, but also murderous. He asked sharply, "Who are you?" If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, four soldiers in front of the door jumped down the steps with swords and surrounded the two men. A number of dark spirits sprang out of the mansion and stood behind Fu Yashi.

The man in the back changed his face and reached out to touch his waist. The man in front of him held his arm with his hand, smiled lightly at Fu Yashi, and said: "Fu Junshen, if the two of us are not good for the adults and princesses, we will not come to the garrison mansion to throw ourselves into the net." It's really a big matter, and when the master came, he could only say that with Lord Ye and the princess, his subordinates didn't dare to disobey the order. If the military staff thinks that the two of us are friends or enemies, they can kill the two of us here, and we won't say anything anyway, I'm afraid that if we miss a big thing, it will hurt Lord Ye. ”

Fu Yashi listened carefully, and it was indeed reasonable. If these two people are not good for adults, why should they come to the house? Knowing that the adults and the princess are going to return to the back hall, they only need to intercept them halfway. I was shocked at the moment, could it be that my guess was true, did someone in the back hall really want to be unfavorable to adults?

Fu Yashi waved his hand and said, "You guys stand down." ”

The soldier withdrew his saber and retreated to the steps. Fu Yashi thought for a moment and said to the two: "My lord left Jiangzhou today and escorted the princess back to the back hall. ”

"Chenshi?" The two men looked at each other, hugged their fists against Yashi, and said: "Military staff, we need to see Lord Ye as soon as possible, now that the city gate is closed, please give an order from the military staff to let the two of us go out of the city, and I will wait for the starry night to chase after me." ”

Fu Yashi shook his head and said, "Calculate the distance, the princess's convoy has only been out for one day, and it should be on the way to Jingzhou." The two of you have never met all the way, presumably because the princess is tired, find a place to rest in advance, even if you wait to chase now, I am afraid that you will miss it again. ”

After hearing this, the two men nodded frequently, thinking that what Fu Yashi said was reasonable.

"Go to the mansion and rest for the night, set off early tomorrow morning, chase after the fast horse, and you will be able to catch up before evening." Fu Yashi stabilized the two of them, and he already had an idea in his heart.

After placing the two men, Fu Yashi hurriedly summoned Dao Zi and Ah Jin over and told them what he thought.

The two were very surprised when they heard this, and Dao Zi was anxious and wanted to catch up with the voyage overnight. Fu Yashi stopped him and ordered the two of them to prepare immediately and chase after the two men tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the east had just revealed the fish white, the gate of Jiangzhou slowly opened, two fast horses went out of the city, turned the corner and disappeared, and the city gate behind him slowly closed. A quarter of an hour later, the city gate opened again, and Dao Zi and Ah Jin rushed out and chased in the direction of the two men.

"Princess, it's time to hit the road." Yuanhang stood at the door, and from early morning to Chen, this was the third time that he had come to urge the princess. If the princess doesn't leave, I'm afraid she will have to rest again as soon as she gets on the road.

"Let's go, you'll bother me in the morning." The voice of the Nine Princesses came from inside the house. Although it was a complaint, Yuanhang was also happy to hear it, and he could finally hurry.

"How much is the next station?" The ninth princess came to the carriage, and before she got on the carriage, she asked about the post station, and the angry voyage glared fiercely behind her.

"Back to the princess, I was supposed to rest at the post station yesterday, but there was a delay on the way, and now I should be able to reach the post station in the afternoon." Yuanhang bent over and replied, thinking to himself: Won't you rest when you get to the station? In this way, I returned to Jiangzhou by myself, but I was afraid that Wen'er would be born.

"Fortunately, it's not a long way." The ninth princess got into the carriage, and before entering the car, she turned back to the carriage and said, "When you get to the post station, you will rest, I have something to discuss with you." ”

I'll you, you're really not leaving...... Although Yuanhang was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't say it directly, so he had to say yes.

There was nothing to do all the way, but it was extremely slow, but unfortunately the dark clouds of the voyage tread the snow, and could only be used as a horse pulling the cart, lazily walking.

"My lord, there are still ten miles ahead, and we will arrive at the post station." Qiu Dong came over from the rear and told the voyage.

"Send someone to the post station and inform that this post station is temporarily closed, and that no one will be allowed to enter the post station." Yuanhang turned his head sideways and ordered, for the safety of the princess, it had to be like this.

Qiu Dong nodded, turned around and called an iron guard, and ordered to go down. The guard nodded in response, and rode to the front station.

It seems that when I get to the post station, I have to persuade the princess, and it is really a delay to go on like this. Yuanhang looked back at the princess's carriage and sighed helplessly.

Finally arrived at the post station, Yuanhang called the stop team, invited the princess to get off the carriage, and sent her into the post station.

"Let's rest, let's set up a sentry, don't be careless." After the voyage, he was about to enter the post station to see the princess, when there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the official road, which attracted everyone to look at it.

The two fast horses came straight to the post station, and when they got closer, the two of them immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the post station.

"Stop." The Iron Guard stepped forward to stop the comers, and Shadowless also stood beside Yuanhang.

"But is Jiangzhou guarding Lord Ye?" The people who came were blocked by the iron guards, and they couldn't see the voyage inside, and they stood outside the courtyard and shouted loudly.

He separated from the guards, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Who are you, and what are you looking for me?" ”

Seeing that it was really Lord Ye, the two of them bent over and said, "My lord, the two of us are here from the back hall, and I have something important to tell you." ”

"From the back of the house?" Yuanhang sneered and said to Qiu Dong: "Take the two of them down." ”

When Qiu Dong heard the order, he flew out, and with a move the black tiger cut out his heart, he hit the man in the chest.
