Hu Xiaotian shook his head, and said in a secret voice: "I will never leave, since I promised you that I will take you away, I will definitely do it." ”

Long Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened, and when she heard Hu Xiaotian's words, her voice was not small, she was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so she pointed outside with some worry. Hu Xiaotian covered her lips and said: "You don't have to be afraid, I just learned a skill of transmitting sound into secrets, and now what I tell you can only be heard, and no one outside can hear it clearly." ”

Long Xiyue nodded, her beautiful eyes revealing joy.

Hu Xiaotian said: "I have deployed a well-planned plan, I can do it foolproof, you don't have to worry, as long as you do what I arranged, we can escape the predicament unharmed." ”

Long Xiyue's expression was suspicious, after entering Dayong, the protection around her would only become stricter, wouldn't it be even more difficult to escape, not to mention what if she left Dakang? Although the imperial brother is ruthless, her marriage is by no means her personal matter, and if she leaves, it may bring an unwarranted disaster to the people of Dakang. She said softly: "Providence is hard to disobey, why don't you still understand this truth until now?" ”

Hu Xiaotian stared at her beautiful eyes and whispered: "I only ask you, if you are given a chance to stay with me for the rest of your life, are you willing to give up your identity as a princess?" ”

Long Xiyue didn't think about it at all, and nodded vigorously.

Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, and immediately showed a sunny smile, saying to Long Xiyue, even if it was worth it for her to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.

Long Xiyue said: "Why didn't you see Zijuan?" ”

Hu Xiaotian didn't hide it from her, and told her about Zijuan's suspicious behavior, and also asked Long Xiyue to be more careful. Long Xiyue was deeply suspicious of this, Zijuan had been by her side since she was a child, and she was one of the people she trusted the most, and this time it was Zijuan herself who offered to marry her into Dayong. How could she betray herself? Hu Xiaotian saw that she didn't believe it, and said in a low voice: "In short, it's not a bad thing to be more careful." ”

That night, Hu Xiaotian thought that Sumeru would come to harass him, but he didn't expect that there would be nothing to do overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Long Xiyue's condition also improved a lot, so everyone decided to continue on the road, and they did not encounter any trouble on the way to Qinglong Bay.

Qinglong Bay is a small port in the north of Dakang, which belongs to Cangmu County, Wuxing County. Originally, it was just an ordinary wharf, mainly responsible for transporting business travelers to and from both sides of the Yongjiang River, but later the Dayong forces gradually invaded southward, the territory continued to expand, and Dakang gradually declined, and finally formed a situation of crossing the river and ruling the river, so the strategic position of Qinglong Bay, a small port, was naturally highlighted. In order to consolidate the northern defense line, Dakang has actively developed the naval force in recent years. As a result, Wuxing County rose to become the first military town in the north.

It is only in recent years that natural disasters have continued in Dakang, the country's economy has fallen into a quagmire, and the Yongjiang River valley has been plagued by repeated floods, making the people's livelihood miserable and the fertile land barren. Even the soldiers stationed on the northern border have not received food for several months, and the recent civil unrest in Wuxing County is, in the final analysis, the common people are trying to make a living. People live on food, and if even the most basic requirement of filling their stomachs is not guaranteed. It is bound to change people's minds.

When they arrived at Cangmu County, it was dusk, and the sunset was about to set, dragging everyone's figure for a long time, and such light and shadow made people feel a sense of desolation and heaviness in their hearts. Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked in the northwest direction, and the outline of Cangmu County had clearly appeared in his field of vision.

The county seat is small. The city wall is not as majestic and wide as imagined, facing the deep and wide Yongjiang moat, there is really no need to operate on the city wall, but the city wall is too dilapidated, and the color on the outer wall is mottled. Green-brown and dark gray are intertwined, green is moss, brown is earth, dark gray is wall tiles, and you can see the dark red marks on the wall when you get closer, which is the blood left by the soldiers who once garrisoned the city to defend their homes and defend the country.

The city was old, and the soldiers defending the city looked listless, in fact, such expressions also appeared in other parts of Dakang, and the whole country was like the light of day, the twilight, and the night was approaching.

The local officials did not put on a grand welcome battle, and no one even went out to greet them, the guards in charge of guarding the gate looked at this large team, and their confused eyes were filled with numb and empty eyes, this small county town has not encountered such a battle for a long time, it is not an enemy from the south, Dayong's army is not so easy to cross the Yongjiang River, this pair of people and horses are neatly equipped, the banner is clear, it should not be the local army, it is impossible to be a chaotic people, and there is only one possibility left.

Soon someone went to report it, but the gates were still closed and the drawbridge hung high. Even Wen Boyuan was a little puzzled, could it be that the guards here hadn't heard about Duke Anping boarding the ship from here?

When it was less than half a mile away from the city gate, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, the city gate was wide open, and a team of men and horses rushed out of it, led by a black and thin boy, wearing an old brown leather armor, and the shoulder cloak had long been washed to see the original color, carrying a mountain axe in his hand, and the black horse under the crotch was also thin and long, and he was weak to run, followed by more than 20 people, all of whom were old and weak soldiers, and they were already tired and out of breath when they ran across the drawbridge from the city gate.

Wen Boyuan couldn't help frowning when he saw it in his eyes, when did Dakang's northern soldiers become this gang, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are crooked melons and cracked dates.

The black thin boy raised the axe in his hand, the mountain axe seemed to be made of stainless steel, and it seemed to weigh at least fifty catties, but he seemed to have no difficulty lifting it, and the kid said loudly: "Ah! Who's coming? ”

Wen Boyuan glanced at Zhan Peng on the side, the guard of a small county town, he didn't bother to talk to the other party at all. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw Wen Boyuan's expression, this guy thinks very highly of himself, and he still thinks that he is much more noble than others.

Zhan Peng rode up and said loudly: "We will escort Princess Anping to Yongdu to marry in accordance with the will of the emperor today. ”

The black thin boy blinked: "What? Public...... Princess? ”

Zhan Peng nodded.

The black thin boy said, "Where is the holy decree?" How do I know you're not lying to me. ”

Zhan Peng said angrily: "Bold fanatics, Princess Anping is here, you still dare to be rude, aren't you afraid of the emperor's guilt?" ”

The black thin boy said: "But there must be a token, no one informed me that the princess would come here, if I let you in casually, if Lord Xiong is guilty, I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Wen Boyuan saw that even a small junior officer dared to block their way, and couldn't help but feel angry, and said angrily: "Zhanpeng, there is no need to talk nonsense with him, if he dares to stop the princess from entering the city again, he will be killed!" ”

When the black thin boy heard the four words, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he raised his axe and pointed at Wen Boyuan and said, "Hey, what did you say?" Kill me? When I'm afraid of you? Come, I'll fight you for 300 rounds to see which of us dies first. ”

Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Wen Boyuan heard Hu Xiaotian laughing, and couldn't help but transfer all his anger to him, and secretly ruthless in his heart, Hu Xiaotian, I will never let you return to Dakang alive.

The thin black boy was attracted by Hu Xiaotian's laughter, looked at him and said, "Hey, who are you laughing at?" ”

Hu Xiaotian urged the mount under his crotch to slowly move forward, the black boy was attracted by Xiao Ash's appearance, and when he saw Xiao Ash's two long ears, he couldn't help laughing: "You are so funny, why do you ride a mule?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Little brother, we have the holy decree, but only your city guards in Cangmu County can see it, are you Lord Liang not there?" ”

The black thin boy said, "How do you know that our adult's surname is Xiong?" "This kid is confused enough, he said it himself just now, and now he has forgotten it completely.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Not only do I know that your adult's surname is Xiong, but I am still good friends with him." ”

The black thin boy was pleasantly surprised: "Really? But I haven't heard my dad talk about it. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "You are also surnamed Xiong, right?" ”

The thin black boy nodded, touched the back of his head and said, "How do you know?" ”

The group of people behind Hu Xiaotian couldn't hold back their laughter, daring to love that this kid was a fool, it turned out to be the son of the city guard, he was really stupid, he reported it all to others, and he was actually confused at this moment.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Of course I know, I also know that you are the son of Lord City Shou Xiong." ”

The thin black boy slapped his head: "Oh, God, you really know my father, you are a fortune teller, right?" ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said nothing, this kid's mind is really a bit of a problem.

Wen Boyuan said coldly: "Gonggong Hu, what do you have to say to a fool, come and take him down!" ”

The black thin boy suddenly reacted because of Wen Boyuan's words: "Uh...... No, it seems that everything you know is what I told you, and you are bluffing me! Although he was half a beat slower, he finally understood.

Hu Xiaotian originally wanted to coax this kid, but he didn't expect that Wen Boyuan would make this black boy wake up again, and secretly scolded Wen Boyuan for being troublesome. At this time, Sumeru's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "He Xiong Tianba, nicknamed Xiong Child, is the son of Xiong Anmin, the county lieutenant of Cangmu County, who was born with great strength, but has few roots. ”

Hu Xiaotian was secretly happy in his heart, and said loudly: "What did I lie to you? You bear child, you are rude to your elders, and when your father comes back to see me, I won't let him beat you up. ”

The black boy was stunned, and said in amazement: "You actually know my nickname?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Not to mention the nickname, your big name is Tianba or did I give it to you." Hu Xiaotian said it very well.

The second more is sent, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued......)
