Chapter 140: Leaving one after another
"Second Highness, you can't do this!"
"Let go of me! Do you hear that? ”
At the gate of Luozhou City, Lan Yue rode a horse alone, holding a sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was on the neck of Nangong standing in front of the horse, and behind them, there were Qin Huai Wei Chi Fulin Zhou Jian and others.
This action made Lan Yue feel very frustrated, he stayed in the city for several days, and seeing that the letter sent to Kyoto had not been replied to for a long time, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and sent people to urge him again and again, but no one could give him a definite answer.
When asked about Qin Huai and the others, they were all distracted, and asked Nangong, who said that he was only responsible for his life safety.
Nangong grabbed the reins of Lan Yue's sitting, and was helpless.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't let him interfere, so he could only watch, besides, Zhou Jian and Shen Teng, those who held the imperial court were inactive, what did he fight? Originally, he was not a member of the court.
"Nangong, are you insisting on not letting me go?"
"Your Highness, the subordinates don't mean this, the subordinates mean that you don't wait for the court to reply?"
Nangong raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"Back?" Lan Yue glanced at the long line standing behind him, everyone lowered their heads and was silent, he clenched the reins in his hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Lord Nangong, do you think the imperial court can receive my letter?" ”
Nangong was stunned for a moment, his gaze swept over Shen Teng's face, and he couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, you have finally matured." ”
"Hehe, look at what you said, Nangong, are you leaving?" Lan Yue straightened her back, her voice was slightly cold, and her slightly thin back looked so small in front of everyone.
"Let's go! Of course it's gone! ”
Nangong pulled his horse beside him, jumped lightly on the horse, and the whip in his right hand slammed on the black horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, raised his head and neighed, and spread his hooves and ran forward like an arrow from the string.
Lan Yue crooked the corners of her mouth, sneered, and then hit her horse to follow.
Only his distant voice could be heard in the wind, "Waiting for me to come back!" ”
"Your Highness!!"
Yu Chi Fulin shouted loudly, but unfortunately, the person had already gone away, and his voice quickly dissipated in the wind and was never seen again.
"General Qin, what are you going to do now?"
"Yes, Old General Qin, this highness is gone, only I am left, and ...... What can be done? ”
"Will the second prince come back this time?"
"Will the emperor blame us?"
Shen Teng, Zhou Jian and the others didn't expect this Lan Yue and Nangong to leave, they thought that he was just a coquettish show, who would have thought that this run would be gone, this prince has returned to Kyoto, what's the use of them staying here?
The key is that they really don't have a clue about food, so what will they do when they go back?
"When you ask me, who shall I ask? In other words, the emperor didn't give the old man an order, and the old man can completely ignore this! ”
Qin Huai flicked his sleeves, glared at everyone unhappily, and turned around to leave.
"Eh, Old General Qin, you can't do this!"
Shen Teng first reached out and grabbed Qin Huai's arm, and persuaded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, what will you do if you don't care about your territory?"
Zhou Jian also walked over and said sincerely.
"You can play here for as long as you want, and the other old men can't care about it, and they can't help it!"
Qin Huai was unmoved, looking ahead arrogantly, you know, last time, because he finally begged his friends on the rivers and lakes to help the second prince, but he lost so much and didn't catch anything, he didn't have a place to get out of his stomach, he just hoped to send away these plague gods as soon as possible.
"General Qin, how can you say that? As the emperor's courtiers, it is our duty to solve problems for the emperor and share worries for the court, isn't it? Let's ......."
"That's you, the old man has already reached the age of retirement, and he doesn't ask about the court for many years, and now he doesn't have the money to lead the court, so even if the old man doesn't care about what you say, the emperor can't blame the old man, Lord Zhou, what do you say?"
Qin Huai squinted at him, looking indifferent, he shouldn't have gone to this troubled water.
"Everyone, please go back, the old man will go first!"
Qin Huai clasped his fists slightly at everyone, climbed into his own carriage, and walked away.
"Lord Shen, look...."
Zhou Jian looked at Shen Teng in embarrassment, and he had no idea.
"In this way, Lord Wei Chi, you take some people to follow His Royal Highness the Second Prince back to Beijing, and this official will take the rest of the people to find out in the vicinity of Luozhou, and contact him if there is any news. Do you think this is feasible? ”
Yu Chi Fulin looked at Zhou Jian, Zhou Jian looked at Zhuo Lin again, and nodded, right now, there is no better way for the time being.
------
In the city of Luoju, a horse-drawn carriage is speeding through the streets.
"Uncle Jiang, hurry up!"
"Okay! Miss, you have to sit tight! ”
Jiang Zhu was dressed in plain men's clothes, sitting anxiously in the carriage, holding the hands of Chunyu and Qiuxiang beside her tightly with both hands, which showed her nervousness and uneasiness at the moment.
"Miss, don't worry. We'll catch up with Captain Chi, don't be nervous, you'll catch up with the slaves. ”
Qiu Xiang said amusefully as she looked at Jiang Zhu frequently looking out of the window.
"Well, he's on horseback, and I don't know if we'll be able to catch up."
Jiang Zhu lowered the curtain and sighed leisurely, I was afraid that she would be too late if it was too late. 139 Chinese
Thinking of the news she overheard at her grandfather's house last night, her heart felt like a big stone had been crushed, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"Sir, do you have to do this?"
It was the voice of Old Madam Qin.
"Yes, only in this way can we have a chance, and only in this way can our Qin Mansion enter the palace King Qin clearly!" Qin Huai's resolute voice sounded.
"But sir, Xiaozhu, she... I'm afraid you don't want to, right? I also wish her happiness... Instead of being lonely in the deep palace for a lifetime, sir! ”
Old Madam Qin's voice couldn't help but choke.
Jiang Zhu was stunned at the closed door with a snack, what were his grandfather and grandmother talking about? What deep palace is lonely for a lifetime?
.............
Jiang Zhu, who was sitting in the carriage, covered his heart and couldn't help but want to cry, he always thought that his grandfather and grandmother were among the people who loved him the most, but he didn't expect them to ..... She remembered the letter her mother had asked her to bring to the Qin Mansion, and gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Uncle Jiang, haven't you seen them yet?"
She asked for the Nth time in the carriage.
Uncle Jiang shook his head and sighed, and the whip in his hand fell cleanly on the horse's buttocks, "Miss, not yet, it's estimated that it's going to be soon." ”
"Miss, don't worry, Lord Wei Chi will be fine, there are so many of them following him, we will catch up with them."
Chunyu laughed jokingly, only because Jiang Zhu wanted to go back to Kyoto with Yu Chi Fulin, so he couldn't wait to catch up with Yu Chi Fulin.
"I hope so."
Jiang Zhu muttered, his clear eyes were full of worry, for himself and for Yu Chi Fulin, who had not yet met. When she left just now, she didn't dare to tell the truth to her grandfather and grandmother, but only said that she wanted to go out and visit Luozhou City. She also thought about it, even if they asked why they didn't say goodbye in the future, she said that she just saw Yu Chi Fulin leaving, so she didn't have time to go back to say goodbye to the two old men in a hurry.
Perhaps by now, they already knew she was gone.
Jiang Zhu and his party kept hurrying, leaving Luozhou City and heading south, this time, they did not take the waterway, so they did not pass the dock where she disappeared last time, but followed the official road towards a place called Lin Lanxia.
"Miss, after crossing the Linlan Gorge and then over two mountains, and passing through Dongkang Town for another fifty miles, you will be out of the jurisdiction of Luozhou."
Uncle Jiang said loudly while driving.
"Lin Lanxia?" Jiang Zhu frowned, why does this name sound familiar?
"Oh, it's a canyon not far from Jingshan, the terrain is relatively dangerous, there are often mountain bandits, Miss has to sit firm!"
Uncle Jiang raised his horsewhip and explained loudly. The rough voice came far and wide in the wind.
"Driving !!"
The carriage kicked up puffs of dust on the official road, leaving a not-so-obvious axle print, and in the roadside jungle where the carriage passed, two thin men in black lurked quietly, revealing only four dripping black eyes.
"Brother, are you sure you want to follow them?"
One of the short men said in a somewhat childish voice.
His words drew a roll of the eyes of his companion next to him, and the man who was called his brother stood up, only as tall as an adult's shoulder, and he raised his thick eyebrows and asked his younger brother, "What?" Don't you want to go to Kyoto? Don't want to visit the Royal Palace? ”
The elder brother's voice has a hint of hoarseness unique to his youth, and he is only about eleven or twelve years old, but his eyes are as fierce and sharp as adults.
The shorter boy raised his head and said angrily, "Of course I want to go, but if we come secretly like this and don't tell our grandmother and mother, will they be in a hurry to find us everywhere?" ”
"Didn't we leave a letter for them? How? Are you scared? ”
The elder brother frowned and asked very unpleasantly.
"Where?" The younger brother immediately retorted, "I'm just afraid that my mother will worry about us....."
"Rest assured, what's the use of them worrying, can't we protect ourselves? Besides, we're all here, do you still want to turn around and go back? ”
The elder brother said, seeing that Jiang Zhu and their carriage had gone away, he immediately lifted the weeds in front of him and walked out, "If you want to go back, you go back alone, I won't go back anyway!" ”
"Brother, I'm not going back!"
The younger brother also walked out and said stubbornly.
"Good! That... Let's keep following! ”
The elder brother nodded, patted his younger brother on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and smiled.
"Shh......h
The younger brother put his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and whistled, a "rustle" sounded, and two short horses ran out of the woods, and the two brothers took off their black night coats and put them in the package on the back of the horses, and then they each changed into a gray moire brocade robe, and the mask on their faces was also torn off by them, revealing two delicate and handsome little faces.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
The two and a half children stepped onto the horse's back, their legs clamped vigorously on the horse's belly, and with a skillful flick of their right hand, the horses, about their height, raised their hooves happily and ran forward like arrows from a string.
And the Qin General's Mansion at this moment
"What? You say Miss Jiang is gone? ”
Qin Huai stood up from his seat and asked angrily.
Xu Qi, the old housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, knelt in front of Qin Huai and kowtowed again tremblingly, "Master, yes, not only that, but the two little sons are also ......."
"Yutang and Zhengye? What happened to the two of them? ”
"They left a letter for Madame, please see it, sir."
