Chapter 307: Return to Beijing
After the affairs of the bustling county were completed, Baili Yunzheng and Chang Jian and his party embarked on the road back to Beijing.
On the official road, the team of about 30 people is very conspicuous, especially the official sedan chair in the middle, although it is not particularly valuable, it is also a big object. In this wilderness, the sound of horses' hooves is particularly thick.
In the sedan chair, Shui Sheng sat on the edge of Baili Yunzheng, singing for him, her voice was like a lark, swirling in the mountains and forests, like early morning rain and dew.
The sedan chair was bumpy, and the curtain of the car fluttered from time to time, revealing the harmonious figures of the two inside, and Chang Jian, who was glimpsed on the side, frowned slightly, didn't want to look at it anymore, patted the horse, and walked to the front.
Just now, two soldiers in front of me were discussing, "This song is melodious and beautiful, like a yellow warbler in the mountains, and I feel comfortable listening to it." ”
Another soldier also followed Ying He and said: "Yes, just now I still think that this road is long, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it along the way." Now it's okay, with the singing voice of the aquatic girl, I suddenly feel in good spirits, and I don't feel hard to walk. ”
Hearing this, Chang Jian was even more angry, and he twisted his eyebrows and said angrily: "Escorting Lord Baili is a big deal, how can you be allowed to be such a child's play, whispering on the march, and relax your vigilance!" This mountain is long, and the song can easily attract robbers, if something really happens, can this song help you kill the enemy? ”
Chang Jian's voice was very majestic, and he was sitting on the horse at this time, looking at the two soldiers condescendingly, which made him even more oppressive. His complexion was as heavy as black ink, which only made people afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
The two soldiers shook in fright and obediently shut their mouths.
"Huh. Rest later, you two will feed the horses! Chang Jian snorted coldly, and then rode forward to explore the way.
When the two soldiers saw Chang Jian walking away, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at each other, this time, they didn't dare to say more.
And after Chang Jian walked far ahead, he suddenly felt that he couldn't be so angry, the woman was just singing a song.
Despite this, Chang Jian still can't let go. Why do those little folk girls in the mountains and wilderness get close to Baili Yunzheng? And this time when she returned to Beijing, she actually came with her, and even her family did not stop her, all this is too strange......
Clouds of suspicion swirled around his mind, and suddenly he looked up, as if he caught a glimpse of a noise behind a bush of grass, and he turned around, but it was back to normal.
Could it be his delusion?
No, not quite right.
Years of battlefield experience have honed his agility, even in the seemingly calm mountains and forests, he can smell a strange smell, he always feels as if someone is silently staring at them in the dark......
He immediately turned back, and before he could keep the army on alert, he saw countless arrows shooting from all directions, caught off guard, his body reacted subconsciously, and while drawing his sword and waving it, he rushed in the direction of Baili Yunzheng.
With a few groans, the soldiers of the army have already suffered many casualties.
Immediately afterward, a group of men in black appeared and opened fire on the army. Moreover, they seemed to be prepared, and only used a few people to use roundabout tactics, although they couldn't defeat Chang Jian, they could block Chang Jian's way to rescue Baili Yunzheng in the past.
And Baili Yunzheng had already prepared, held Shui Sheng's hand, and said very seriously: "Let's go out later, don't run around, stay by my side obediently, I will protect you." ”
Shui Sheng was already at a loss, she could only make a "hmm" sound and followed Baili Yunzheng out of the car.
The moment she saw the sword light and sword shadow, Shui Sheng was even more frightened, especially the moment when a man in black on the side raised his knife and slashed towards Baili Yunzheng, she was panicked for a while, and even took advantage of Baili Yunzheng's attention when he was on the man in black, broke free of his hand and ran away.
Baili Yunzheng relied on his hearing to distinguish the footsteps of the man in black and the sound of raising a knife to cut through the air, and successfully knocked down the other party, but when he turned his head, he found that the aquatic life was gone.
"Aquatic...... Where are you, aquatic? ”
But he didn't have time to look for it, and someone kept rushing towards him, and he had to resist.
Chang Jian finally solved the few black-clothed people, and when he ran over, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the aquatic creatures scurrying in the crowd, and at that moment, he suddenly became selfish, ignored her, and ran directly to Baili Yunzheng.
When he arrived, Baili Yunzheng had already finished dealing with the other black-clothed people, and felt that someone was running towards him, he subconsciously raised his knife, but he heard the other party shouting: "It's me, Chang Jian." ”
"Chang Jian." Baili Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but became nervous again, "Chang Jian, help me find Shui Sheng, she is gone." ”
Chang Jian responded, and led Baili Yunzheng to walk in the direction he had just seen the aquatic life, at this time, the man in black seemed to have retreated, and the ground was full of soldiers' corpses, a mess.
When he walked to the front and saw a pink figure, Chang Jian suddenly stopped and stopped moving.
Baili Yunzheng, who was relying on Chang Jian to lead the way, suddenly noticed, reached out and patted Chang Jian's shoulder, "What's wrong?" Unable to get Chang Jian's answer, he could guess a rough idea in his heart, and he asked in a calm voice, "Is there something wrong with the aquatic life?" ”
Chang Jian glanced at him deeply, did not speak, only led him, walked to the side of the aquatic corpse, led his hands, and touched the aquatic body.
Her body was still warm, but she had no pulse.
Baili Yunzheng knelt on the side, this helpless look, Chang Jian felt distressed when he looked at it, and couldn't help but say: "This woman is far from early summer, why do you want to be nostalgic for her?" Appearance, talent, courage, which one can compare to early summer? ”
Obviously, Baili Yunzheng used to love early summer so much, how could he be easily hooked by a small village girl in the mountains? He couldn't figure it out.
Baili Yunzheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "I can't see with my eyes now, I can only listen to the voice, the voice of early summer ......"
When he spoke, his voice was a little desolate, floating in the wind, like crying, but it was not crying, but it was just listening to Chang Jian's heart, but it was extremely sad, remembering that he didn't save her in the first place when he saw Shui Sheng, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
It was at this time that he realized that Baili Yunzheng didn't like aquatic, but because the voice of aquatic life was really a bit like Li Chuxia.
Chang Jian pursed his lips and wanted to tell him what he had just done about his selfishness, but he opened his mouth, and he didn't say it for a long time.
After they were buried in the water, they went on the road again.
This time I was attacked, I was afraid that the people of the court did it, and after handing over, I knew that the origin of these assassins was not simple, and after the two of them scrutinized, they probably guessed that it was Emperor Mingde, so they simply disguised themselves and walked on the country road, which was three days faster than the original expectation.
"Now that we have returned to Beijing, what should we do?" Chang Jian touched the fake beard he had pasted, and asked Baili Yunzheng secretly in a low voice, his eyes aimed at the people who passed by.
If the Assassins were really sent by Emperor Mingde, they would definitely continue to hunt them down. Now that he has arrived in Jingshi, it is simply equivalent to the meat on the board of Emperor Mingde, and he can slaughter it as much as he wants.
Baili Yunzheng looked very calm, "Eat something." ”
Along the way, they were really tired of running around, and they were really a little unbearable, so they simply found a wine shop, ordered two plates of beef and two pots of wine, and began to gobble up.
The meal was full, and I could hear the big man at the table next to him boasting, "These glasses of wine go down, fluttering like immortals, I'm afraid that the emperor has a favorite concubine, and it is not as happy as this half pot of daughters!" It's really good wine! ”
One person asked, "How do you know that the emperor's favorite concubine is not as happy as this?" I heard that this newly crowned princess is as beautiful as a flower, the sky is beautiful, and the emperor summons to sleep every night, this supreme happiness, I am afraid that you will not be able to experience it. ”
Baili Yunzheng heard it, felt strange, and said: "Muyan City Mansion is very deep, and he doesn't like women, how can he love an imperial concubine so much?" ”
"Hey, what's this?" Chang Jian looked like a matter of course, spread his hands, and raised his eyebrows, "This man, lust is important." The previous great cause was not accomplished, so he naturally endured his desires, and now he is sitting on the throne, the ninety-five supreme, and he is not afraid of the people of the world, which is naturally revealed. ”
Baili Yunzheng heard it, but shook his head, "No, it's not right." ”
He has read countless people, and he also knows everything about Emperor Mingde's personality, even if a person's personality changes, the essence remains the same. Besides, this is only two months to change? He didn't believe it.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally, he threw the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "I have to go into the palace to have a look." ”
When the night was beautiful, Chang Jian entered the palace with Baili Yunzheng.
Everyone knows about the favorite concubine, as long as you inquire a little, it is easy to find, and the two know the environment in the palace well, and soon, they touched the favorite concubine's bedroom, but, as soon as they entered, they heard the woman's laughter, "Your Majesty, you hate it so ......much"
This coquettishness is really crispy and numb.
But Baili Yunzheng trembled, this voice was very familiar to him.
"Early Summer!" Baili Yunzheng, who was originally hiding in the shadows, didn't care about anything else, and rushed over in a panic, but because he didn't notice the obstacle, he almost tripped over something and made a noise.
Inside, Emperor Mingde was about to overwhelm Li Chuxia, but when he heard the loud voice, he couldn't help frowning, "Who?" ”
"Early Summer!" Baili Yunzheng ran out, he relied on his feelings, kept groping in the direction of Li Chuxia and Emperor Mingde, and behind him, Chang Jian also hurried over, and was even more surprised when he saw the messy clothes of Li Chuxia and Emperor Mingde.
The moment she saw Baili Yunzheng, Li Chuxia's heart suddenly had a little throbbing, and a strange feeling came up, but it was fleeting, so she didn't care much, she only nestled in Emperor Mingde's arms, and asked with some displeasure: "Your Majesty, who is this blind man?" ”
Emperor Mingde's gaze fell on Baili Yunzheng, and the smile in his eyes was dyed with a hint of murderous aura, "Baili Yunzheng, I didn't expect you to find the palace so quickly." ”
