Chapter 148: Going South (1)

I was too busy last night, and when I got up the next day, Sheng Changning still felt very tired.

Everything was put in order, Sheng Changning took a step and went out, the sun on the horizon was still hidden behind the stacked clouds, and the rolling Shu clouds glowed with a soft brilliance, a group of blue.

Looking at this day, today is not hot and dry, the sun is hidden behind the clouds, and the cool wind gusts like a good climate for going out.

The people and horses outside the courtyard have already been settled, and Sheng Changning ordered them to go down yesterday, Zuo Nan has always been a person who is resolute and does not procrastinate, as long as she is put away, everyone can ride away.

"Princess, don't we really say goodbye to Zhang Cheng Lord?"

Bai Lu squatted down and straightened her skirt for her, she hesitated for a moment, but still had the courage to ask.

On the eve of the princess's banquet yesterday, Zuo Nan inadvertently noticed something strange in the city lord's mansion, but in order to catch the person who designed it, he discussed it with her.

Although he did not explain to the princess in advance, and put the princess in danger, these charges were enough to make these slaves apologize for their deaths, but the left guard said.

"If you don't find out this person thoroughly, there will definitely be more dangerous twists and turns on the way to Jiangnan."

and the left guard's oath to bear the charge, "If the son asks about the guilt in the future, I will definitely bear it." ”

Bai Lu was moved.

She is the princess's personal maid, and she doesn't want to see the princess put herself in danger, but she also doesn't want the princess to be in fear in the future.

In any case, in the end, they are overstepping, as smart as princesses, who can't see through their minds, but she doesn't say a word about punishment for what they do.

"I'm not going."

Sheng Changning glanced at her, glanced at her lightly, and only responded to her words, "Now, the faster you go, the better, and there is no need to leave with great fanfare." ”

She decided to leave the Northland, wasn't she afraid that she would bump into Sheng Changmu and come to arrest her back, and because of Sheng Changqiong's stubble, she always had to be careful about it.

"Yes."

Bai Lu said, opened the curtain of the carriage for her, and Lixia waited on the side, helping Sheng Changning to get into the carriage.

After Sheng Changning sat down, Zuo Nan, who was driving the carriage, raised the horse's whip, the horse's hooves trampled, and the wheels of the carriage quickly rolled up, making a dull sound.

Xunyang City is a rare lively place in the Northern Wilderness, and now the sky is already bright, not to mention those vegetable vendors who are used to getting up early, it is the girls and ladies in the boudoir, and they can also see one or two on the street at this time.

The twilight sky, accompanied by the boiling voices, gradually became a little more fireworks.

I don't know which house lit the fire, and the curling smoke drifted away with the wind, the sound of children playing, the morning reading of the middle school students, and even the loud chatter of the aunts in the streets.

Going with the wind, it dispersed and entered her ears, but Sheng Changning didn't feel the noise, she gently lowered the car curtain pinched by her fingertips.

Isolated from the scene, the sound of red dust and smoke still echoed in her ears, and in her eyes and ears, these were the sounds of freedom that could not be reached.

……

In order to avoid traveling too ostentatious, Sheng Changning asked the guards to go out of the city in other ways, and their group drove the carriage through the city gate.

The city lord's mansion in Xunyang City was still silent, and the people outside the mansion were still living a rising life, and no one noticed that the low-key carriage left Xunyang City, and the car rolled faster and faster, heading towards the sky.

"Princess, shall we pass by Qiu Cheng, or should we bypass it instead?"

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Lu and Lixia held the map and watched energetically, while listening to Zuo Nan's questioning outside.

The two of them looked at the map together, but they couldn't make up their minds when they looked at the two roads, so they came out loud to ask Sheng Changning's opinion.

Out of the Northern Wasteland, a wide official road was built on the way from north to south, and horse-drawn carriages flew on it, without making people feel the slightest sense of bumpiness.

Sheng Changning, who had never slept well last night, rarely sat in such a stable carriage once, and the feeling of extreme sleepiness spread throughout her body, she was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed, but she was called by the two of them coldly.

The drowsiness passed away like a frightened rabbit, and Sheng Changning had to lift her eyes to see that the two little girls were holding the map to her so that she could see more clearly.

This topographic map to the south was bought by Zuo Nan in Xunyang City, although this person always has a cold face at people, and looks like a living person who is not approachable on weekdays, so that the timid people can't help but cry when they see it.

But after all, he is the person selected by Shen Yue, and where can he be missing, and he is as meticulous as his master in these small details.

Sheng Changning carefully looked at the two different lines on the map, and couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Lu and Lixia didn't understand why their princess looked so disgusted, and under their suspicions, the two of them were looking forward to what Sheng Changning was going to say.

But Sheng Changning hesitated again and again, and then pointed to the two locations mentioned by the two, and said with a slight surprise: "How can these places all pass through the Yonghuai Palace?" ”

Bai Lu stroked her forehead with a smile, and saw that Sheng Changning's face was indeed surprised, mixed with a very incomprehensible meaning, so she hurriedly replied: "Good princess of slaves, how did you forget that King Yonghuai is the king of the opposite sex who was enshrined by the first emperor, and not only that, but also rewarded him with an extra long grace, so that he was built in a prosperous place in the north of the river......

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Sheng Changning suddenly came to his senses, yes, Sheng Changqiong married the King of Yonghuai, but the person who let the first emperor reward him with great grace.

Sheng Changning did not use the word "next marriage" to describe Sheng Changqiong's marriage, because Peng Cheng, the king of Yonghuai, was not only the only king of the opposite sex in Dachu in the past hundred years.

He still has the real power in his hands, and he has the government soldiers in the north for him to drive, if he hadn't married a princess to contain him, I'm afraid this person would be the first person to be eliminated by the king of Great Chu.

However, a little thought suddenly made her miss these cause and effect relationships, and Sheng Changning's heart was already slightly cold.

Bai Lu and Lixia didn't know that Sheng Changning would have so many feelings in their hearts, but seeing that their princess's face was obviously solemn, they were also very silent.

Sheng Changning's gaze refocused on the topographic map in front of him, and the winding lines in the map, accompanied by pen and ink words, indicated where and where he was ahead.

Her gaze converged in one place, and her white, slender knuckles paused, paused, and her fingertips tapped lightly at another.

"Tell Zuo Nan to go this way."
