Chapter 125: Eyelids jumped
Linyue City is the border town of Shuochu, which is bordering Jinnan, and it is also the place where Shuochu and Jinnan clashed, and at this time, a hundred miles outside the city is Qiu Chulin's garrison.
Sisi has been wandering in Linyue City for a long time.
When she arrived in Linyue City that day, Liu Wuxian settled her down, and before she could eat a hot meal, she received a recall order from Chao Nei.
At first, Liu Wuxian was not at ease to leave her here alone, and wanted to take her back to the dynasty with him, but Sisi insisted on staying and waiting for Qiu Chulin to return to the city, and he would not go with him alive or dead.
In desperation, Liu Wuxian had to leave a few followers to follow her to protect her, and sent someone to send a letter to Shen Jiangli, who was far away in Chu'an City, and then hurried back.
Sisi lives in an inn in Linyue City, and the window of the room is facing the gate of the Shoujiang's Mansion.
Liu Wuxian said that he was now fighting outside the border gates, and the situation was tense, so he had no time to take care of other things.
And women are not allowed to enter the army without permission, so as not to disturb the morale of the army.
Therefore, only by letting her wait for his triumphant return in this Linyue City can she see him.
Sisi sat in front of the window with her chin pestled every day, looking at the gate of the guard's mansion and waiting, and waited for several days.
Today, Sisi just opened the window and noticed an abnormality.
The gate of the guard's mansion is closed tightly on weekdays, Sisi has not seen anyone enter or exit for so many days, but today, the gate is open, and there are two guards outside the door, looking in the direction of the city gate from time to time.
Sisi was overjoyed, knowing that he was coming back, so he hurriedly went downstairs and ran to the tea shop outside the lobby on the first floor to wait, just waiting for him to come back, rushed up and told him that he had not broken his promise and came to him as promised.
Sisi listened to the small talk between the boss and the guests in the pantry, and looked at the corner of the street opposite the gate of the guard's mansion with blazing eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Girl, are you waiting for the prince to return home?" The guests next to him paid and left, and the boss came to add tea for Sisi with a smile, "I haven't come back to this mansion for a long time, and today the doors are open, and someone must rush back from the army." ”
"yes, how do you know I'm waiting for him?" Sisi thanked him and started talking to the boss.
"Every time the gate of the Jiangfu is opened, a little girl like you will gather a few tables in my tea shed." The boss still smiled kindly, as if Sisi and other girls who admired the prince were counted together.
"Really? Boss, don't bluff me, the door of the general's mansion is open today, but I am the only one waiting in your tea shop. Sisi laughed.
"The girl only came to us a few days ago, so naturally she didn't know." The boss was wiping the table next to him, and when he saw that Sisi didn't believe his words, he put down the rag in his hand, turned around and said to Sisi, "The door of this mansion has been opened many times, and every time someone else enters and leaves, and I never see the prince come back. ”
The boss said, and pointed to the corner of the street, where three or five little girls dressed as maids were gathering together to laugh.
"You mean, they're the girls sent by the rich ladies?" Sisi looked in the direction pointed by the boss with interest, and then smiled.
"Not really!" As he spoke, the boss picked up the rag on the table behind him and put it on his shoulder, and went to the stove to sprinkle a handful of cheap tea leaves into the hot water.
"I'm not like them, I know him, he's my friend." Sisi said proudly.
"Girl, don't tease me, how can our regent have a woman's friend?" The boss swallowed back the second half of the sentence when he wanted to speak.
"Why not? Shouldn't there be many women who admire a man like him? Sisi was surprised.
"The girl doesn't even know this, how dare she claim to be a friend of the prince!" The boss smiled kindly, but his tone was much stiffer.
The prince and the late princess have a deep relationship, after the princess died, the prince never married a wife, nor was he close to women, where would a woman be fortunate enough to be a friend of the prince?
"Why don't you believe it? He gave me a ......" Sisi said unconvinced, and Yu Guang was catching a glimpse of a red horse appearing on the corner of the street, carrying a man in armor on the horse, walking towards the general's mansion.
Sisi was about to get up and chase after him, but the man on the horse turned his head and glanced in this direction, Sisi frowned, and suddenly fell back on the table as if deflated, lowered his head and smashed his arm hard, and then buried his face in his arm.
The man right away wasn't him!
Qiu Xiyang originally just habitually glanced over here, wanting to see if there were many young ladies waiting here today, but he didn't want that there was a woman who looked very much like the princess.
Qiu Xiyang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously couldn't believe his eyes, didn't the prince say that the princess was imprisoned in Jinnan by Xiuyi, how could she appear in Linyue City?
Just when he was about to take a closer look, the woman in the seat had disappeared, thinking that he was on business, and the princess was under house arrest, so it was absolutely impossible for him to appear here. Qiu Xiyang didn't take this matter to heart, got off the horse, handed the reins to the family, and went straight into the house.
At this moment, Sisi was lying on the bed depressed, looking at the blue sky through the window, thinking that he had not come back, his heart became more and more depressed, so he jumped out of bed and closed the window angrily.
The general who returned home to fetch things didn't stay long before leaving, and Sisi lay on the bed angrily, and the facial features on his small face were wrinkled together.
Sisi waited boredly in this inn for many days, and went downstairs on time every day to talk to the owner of the tea shop outside the lobby, and from the mouth of the boss, he found out a lot of things about the garrison outside the city, the most valuable of which was the military doctor of the garrison outside the city, and he was about to return to the city to purchase medicinal materials in the next few days.
So Sisi planned not to wait like this, she was going to follow the military doctor into the barracks to find him.
Hmph, when she finds him, she must ignore him!
After Sisi turned a corner and asked about the pharmacy that supplied the army with medicinal herbs, he went to a corner next to the pharmacy in the next few days, holding a heart full of hope and guarding pitifully.
This time, Sisi didn't wait too long, and only waited for three days before a team dressed as soldiers came, pulling a carriage and coming to the medicinal herb shop.
Sisi was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly ran back to the inn, hurriedly put on the human skin mask left by Liu Wuxian, dressed up in disguise, and made another trick, slipped out of the back door, and shook off the people who protected her in the dark.
When she came to the pharmacy, the military doctor was checking the herbs and muslin, and the leader of the team was paying the money with the shopkeeper.
Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, this time she finally caught up, she saw that the convoy would take a while to get on the road, and it happened that the candy man shop she liked was not far away, so she ran over and asked the person to give the sugar man who was a general, wrapped it in oiled paper and carefully carried it in her arms, thinking that when she saw him, she wanted to give him this to eat.
When Sisi rushed back, the car carrying the medicinal herbs had already set off, and there were many people on the streets of the city, so Sisi would not arouse suspicion if he followed closely. But after leaving the city, there were few pedestrians, and Sisi did not dare to follow, so he could only hide in the woods far away and follow.
Halfway through the walk, Sisi who was hiding in the forest noticed that something was abnormal, she had already hidden in the forest and followed, but there seemed to be some other people hiding behind her.
Sisi always felt uneasy in her heart, she always felt that the people hidden behind the forest would plot against the herbs in this car, and after thinking calmly for a while, Sisi decided to catch up with the convoy and tell the people in the medicine convoy about her guess, so that the convoy could be more vigilant.
If she was right, she would be able to help him keep the cart of medicinal herbs, and if she was wrong, there would be no loss.
Thinking like this, Sisi hurriedly got on the road and kept up with the speed of the convoy as soon as possible.
The people behind her seemed to be affected by her, and they followed closely and increased their speed, which made Sisi's uneasiness in her heart more and more serious, as if the people behind her had sensed her intentions and were chasing her.
After chasing for a long time, the sun was setting, Sisi finally caught up with the convoy, she ran up breathlessly, grabbed a veteran at the end of the convoy, and took a few breaths.
Before Sisi could speak, the people hidden behind the forest couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out in all directions in the forest.
Sisi was caught under the carriage by the veteran she was pulling, and she hugged the wheel of the carriage nervously paying attention to the situation around her.
The coachmen dressed as veterans tore off the fake beards stuck to their chins, drew the big knives on their waists and met them, and in an instant a fight with the man in black began.
There were a large number of men in black, and although there were only more than ten people in the convoy, they were all carefully selected elite soldiers in the army.
This battle lasted for half a pillar of incense, and the men in black rushed out of the forest in waves as if they could not kill each other.
The convoy of more than ten people was outnumbered, and when they were about to fight against the water, a sudden vibration spread from under their feet, followed by the sound of horses' hooves from the south, and the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder from far and near.
When the man in black saw that there were reinforcements, he did not like to fight, and made a gesture for the leader of the man, and many men in black scattered in the forest as birds and beasts, and disappeared in a moment.
Qiu Xiyang, the general of the army, personally led his troops here to respond, and when he saw the mess all over the ground, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to replace the elite soldiers of the convoy and carry the seriously wounded onto the medicine cart.
"General, this is the only one left who didn't make the run." The man who was pulled by Sisi picked up a piece of rag on the ground, wiped the big knife in his hand, put the knife back into its sheath, and then pulled Sisi out from under the car with his backhand.
"Oops! Hurt! You tap! Sisi was pulled by a strand of his hair, and hurriedly slapped the man's big hand on his arm.
"Tie it up, take it back and let it be at the disposal of the prince." Qiu Xiyang glanced at Sisi, but didn't see anything from Sisi.
"Hey! You tap! You're hurting me! Sisi's hands were folded behind the man, and the man took a piece of thick linen rope from the car, and wrapped Sisi's hands tightly and tightly without mercy.
Qiu Xiyang's eyelids jumped inexplicably, he frowned, got rid of the strangeness in his heart, and led the team back to the camp.
