Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bandits
If before, the prince knew that it was a den of thieves, no matter whether he had helpers by his side or not, he would definitely not run away in such a desert, he would not only stay, but also arrest and interrogate the thieves one by one.
Thinking about the time when Bai Ju went south with the prince to study, Yu was still selling pastries in the osmanthus workshop by the bridge, and one day Bai Ju came to the osmanthus workshop with the prince, and the people who listened to the people were full of praise for the pastries here, and the prince came to be interested in finding a place to sit down in the osmanthus workshop, so he knew Yu Fangfei, who was good at making pastries and snacks, and on the same day, the prince invited Yu to go out of the Jiangnan Water City together, and went to an elegant bamboo forest to go out.
Bai Ju has always remembered the incident vividly, at that time for some reason in the bamboo forest ambush a group of vigorous killers, the situation was critical, the prince lifted the sword and fought with the killers, at that time Bai Ju also asked him, do you want to send the Yu out first and then come back to surround and suppress the people here, the prince almost did not hesitate to refuse, a woman who met in Pingshui, the prince naturally will not let go of the group of killers because of this, it is also strange, Yu Shi was originally standing aside, The remaining thieves were almost captured by the prince, and suddenly a man in black who appeared out of nowhere stabbed straight towards Yu.
Bai Ju immediately checked Yu's wound, and at that time he had a trace of suspicion, the man in black clearly risked his dying heart to stab Yu's, how could he just stab Yu in the shoulder, even Bai Ju could see the suspicion The prince could naturally see it, at that time, the prince ordered Yu to take it back to the courtyard in Jiangnan, thinking that at that time, the prince also wanted to secretly see what intriguing inside story there was after the Yu family, but since Yu woke up, the prince gradually became a little strange, and he was cold and warm to the Yu family all day long. didn't seem to have doubted her at all, originally Bai Ju thought that the prince was just doing a show, but who knew that half a year later, the prince returned to the royal capital after completing his study tour and immediately became a concubine.
Thinking of this, Bai Ju's eyes couldn't help but be filled with disgust, since the prince married the Yu family, he has been much softer, and now he is like this to the princess, doesn't he have true feelings for her again? This time, I took it with me again, and I don't know if the prince will become more indecisive this time.
The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, Bai Ju immediately turned over and cautiously squatted behind the tree next to the carriage, carefully probing and observing, secretly planning that it was the prince who caught up, only to see a dashing and majestic figure driving a horse from far and near towards the carriage under the moonlight in the dark night.
"Phewβ"
"Bai Ju sees the prince"
After confirming Chen Jinye's identity, Bai Ju immediately came out from under the tree on the side and saluted him, Chen Jinye forced the horse under his crotch to stop, and then flipped off the horse with a swoop, and helped Bai Ju, who was saluting, into the carriage. Seeing this, Bai Ju's prejudice against Hongling deepened.
Lifting the curtain, Hong Ling in the carriage was leaning there at this time, her lips were tightly pursed, her brows were slightly twisted together, and there was still a faint red mark from him between the eyebrows, seeing that she was fine, Chen Jinye immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth were secretly hooked up a few points, Chen Jinye slowly raised his hand and stroked her forehead.
At that time, in the post station, she couldn't get rid of Chen Jinye's mind for a long time when she was overwhelmed, and it was probably at that time that Chen Jinye made up her mind that she would never let her have even a 1 in 10,000 chance of being hurt.
Chen Jinye stared at Hongling in the carriage for a long time, before he came out and got out of the carriage, took Bai Ju to a position a few meters away, and said, "Has she woken up?" βγ
"Lord Qi, the princess has never woken up"
"That's fine, let's get on the road early, the bandit doesn't know if he'll catch up again, let's get to the next post sooner."
"That's... What to do with those bandits? β
I saw Chen Jinye sigh heavily with his eyebrows slightly raised, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "When the matter in the west is resolved, it will be the day of their destruction", hearing Chen Jinye's order, Bai Ju looked at Chen Jinye excitedly, this is the prince, this is the king in his mind.
Then Bai Ju drove the carriage to the next post station, and Hongling, who was already full of Chen Jinye's safety, woke up when she heard the sound of horses' hooves, but at this time she found a problemββββ she was pillowing on Chen Jinye's shoulder.
"Y-Are you alright?"
"I'm fine"
Hong Ling awkwardly widened a little distance from Chen Jinye, and as soon as she looked up tentatively, she met Chen Jinye's tender eyes, those dark eyes are like an unknown black hole in the universe, as long as you can't help but stare at it, you will be sucked into the abyss at any time......
In order to sober herself up, Hong Ling slapped her palm at herself, "Ahh βγ
Chen Jinye smiled slightly, "Didn't you fight it yourself?" βγ
Hong Ling looked up at Chen Jinye again, fortunately he didn't look at himself like that, and the atmosphere between the two was a little more normal, Hong Ling rubbed her forehead curtly.
"When did you come back?".
"Fangcai"
"Why did I fall asleep all of a sudden?"
"Looks like a bandit knocked you out"
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"Nope"
"You got rid of them so quickly?"
"They are a little dull, and they are really no match for this king"
......
After a few words of gossip, Hongling's consciousness gradually became clearer, and then she lifted the curtain and peeked out, it was already dark outside, and I didn't know what time it was, but I really seemed to have slept for a long time, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Chen Jinye looked at her and began to sit still again, sighed slightly, closed her eyes and let herself make trouble, and when Hongling finished checking around, she wanted to talk to Chen Jinye for a while, and saw him leaning on the carriage and falling asleep, thinking that Chen Jinye should also be tired, so many thieves he could escape, he must have run fast.
The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the galloping carriage, the lush dark jungle whirred backwards, and the gusts of wind whistled in his ears to remind Bai Ju, hurry, hurry.....
A few hours passed, a glimmer of white light appeared where the earth and the sky met, a new day began, Chen Jinye opened his eyes early, Hongling was lying on the long seat in the carriage at this time, sleeping soundly, glanced at her a few times, Chen Jinye lifted the curtain and sat on the side of the carriage.
"How long will it take to get to the station?"
"Lord Qiqi, it will take about half a pillar of incense"
Chen Jinye bowed slightly, and after a while, Bai Ju drove the carriage to stop in front of a prosperous post station, and the junior in the post station skillfully led the carriage and rushed to the stable.
Chen Jinye picked up Hongling and walked to the post station, Bai Ju took out the bags of the two and followed them, Chen Jinye slowly walked and ordered: "Lao Bai, you go to eat something to pad your stomach and go to rest, we are not in a hurry today."
After repatriating Bai Ju, Chen Jinye carried Hongling all the way upstairs into a large suite, put Hongling into the inside of the bed, and Chen Jinye also lay down on the outside and fell asleep, so that there was no need to worry about any accidents if she was left alone......
Just slept like this, the three of them slept together for a morning, Hong Ling stretched her waist and sat up and saw Chen Jinye sleeping on her side, Hong Ling didn't hesitate and subconsciously kicked him out of bed, and shouted at Chen Jinye, who got up from the ground with his eyebrows twisted: "How can you sleep here!" βγ
Chen Jinye yawned at Hongling casually, and stretched lazily, "It's not that I haven't slept in one place, what are you afraid of."
"You, you! You're a scoundrel! With that, Hong Ling angrily climbed down from the bed and wanted to run out, but Chen Jinye grabbed her with one hand and explained: "I'm worried that those bandits will catch up when I fall asleep."
When Hong Ling mentioned this, she remembered, blinked a few times, looked at Chen Jinye hesitantly, and then asked slowly: "At that time, why did you call me 'Hong'er'?" βγ
Chen Jinye didn't expect that the problem that Hong Ling suddenly thought of would be this, so he lazily sat on the bed and put on his shoes, and said: "When you were in Wangcheng before, didn't you always call yourself 'Hong Gongzi', borrow it, you can't let me call you by your real name."
Hongling breathed a sigh of relief, so it was, she almost thought that she had accidentally said something before, okay, okay.
"By the way, how did you know there was something wrong with the station?"
Chen Jinye put on his shoes and walked lazily to the tea table outside, then sat down leisurely, poured two cups of tea, gestured to Hongling, and then said: "I woke up and found that there were small holes opened around your room to watch, and then the groom happened to find that the post owner had brought back sweat medicine from the mountain bandits, so I knew."
"It's as simple as that?"
Chen Jinye nodded towards Hongling with a relaxed face, but in fact, the situation at that time was much more complicated.
At that time, as soon as Hongling went out in the afternoon, Chen Jinye was actually woken up by the sound of her opening and closing the door, remembering that the proprietress of the post station said that she sent the groom to buy a monthly letter belt made Liu Linger very ashamed, Chen Jinye got up and went to Bai Ju's room from the window, wanting to explain that he had forgotten about it, but found that Bai Ju had been put into sweat medicine and slept to death. At that moment, Chen Jinye deduced that this post station should be a black shop.
After Bai Ju woke up, Chen Jinye asked him to investigate the owner of the post station, and he hid in Liu Ling'er's room to secretly observe her interaction with the proprietress.
