Chapter 351: In the Mountains and Forests
In addition, Zhong Yuqi said that she wants to travel as an ordinary person and go to the farmhouse to have fun. But many people know Xiao Yulin's identity, so Zhong Yuqi doesn't want him to go with him.
Xiao Yulin couldn't, so he had to agree to Zhong Yuqi, and asked Jueying to send more people to follow Zhong Yuqi tomorrow.
Therefore, on the morning of the second day, Zhong Yuqi and Chunhua Qiushi took an ordinary carriage and went out of the city with a team of guards. The guards were led by Jin Tiannan and accompanied on horseback.
Out of the city, Jin Tiannan turned to the side of the carriage and said to Zhong Yuqi inside: "Princess Qiyu, yesterday afternoon, my subordinates have already gone to that place to see, but it is still secret, it is in the mountains and forests. There were a few thatched shops scattered there, for those who had entered the mountains to rest, and there was a way to go there. ”
Jin Tiannan: "Last night, my subordinates placed people in Yiyun Restaurant, and ordered people to send people there early this morning. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Did the shopkeeper ask anything? ”
Jin Tiannan said: "My subordinates said that this is a person arranged by the prince, who will stay in the restaurant for a night, and will leave early tomorrow morning." The shopkeeper didn't ask much. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Go straight there!" lest the prince be bored for a while, and he will find it again. ”
"Yes!"
Then, Jin Tiannan ran a few steps and led the way in front.
The team walked into the nearby woods, which were uninhabited.
Walking a little further, you can see sparse thatched huts at intervals, not like the kind of houses, which should have been built by someone to rest.
After walking for a long time, low mountains and forests began to appear, and I didn't meet anyone.
Zhong Yuqi still wondered in her heart, why is there a road in such a remote mountain forest?
Therefore, Zhong Yuqi asked Qiu Shi to go to the window to summon Jin Tiannan.
Jin Tiannan turned the horse's head and came to the window, and said, "What is the matter with the princess calling her subordinates?" ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "This is in the middle of nowhere, why is there such a good road? ”
Jin Tiannan replied: "Oh! There is no home within five miles outside the capital. The thatched huts we encountered along the way were set up by those who had patrolled the capital. The capital was surrounded by mountains and forests, and there were inevitably people who were haunting it, so it was necessary for someone to inspect it, so a way was opened. ”
"I see! How far is it? ”
"Back to the princess, out of the restricted range, walk a few more miles, and you'll be there."
"You say, will those who patrol go somewhere else?"
"Back to the princess, under normal circumstances, they are also very tired from patrolling this area, where do they want to go further? Unless it is dereliction of duty, not careful inspection, and then go to other places. However, patrolling the capital is equivalent to patrolling the camp in wartime, and if it is dereliction of duty, this crime can be equivalent to collaborating with the enemy and treason. Presumably, those who patrol do not dare to have such courage. ”
"If those who are on patrol meet other people, what will they do?"
"Back to the princess, as long as you don't step out of the boundaries of the road and enter the forbidden range of the capital, those people will not arrest people. However, pedestrians will be reminded that they are not allowed to enter the forbidden area. ”
"But we haven't found anyone else along the way!"
"Back to the princess, those who make the rounds are divided into twelve shifts, three people at a time, and every other hour, they have to make an inspection. It would take four or five hours to walk around the capital, and they would only make their rounds once a day before resting. The subordinates calculated the time, avoided them, and saved them the trouble of interrogation. ”
Zhong Yuqi didn't ask any more questions.
Jin Tiannan saw that Zhong Yuqi didn't have any instructions, so he went to the front to lead the way.
After walking for a long time, the carriage stopped, and Jin Tiannan asked Zhong Yuqi to get out of the carriage.
Zhong Yuqi looked around, there were mountains and forests. One of the roads turned north, and went straight ahead to a small road, and there was no way to cross the carriage.
Jin Tiannan said to Zhong Yuqi: "Princess Qiqi, go forward, the carriage is not suitable for walking, and please ask the princess to ride a horse." I wonder if the princess can ride a horse? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "It should be possible! ”
Jin Tiannan said: "If the princess is inconvenient to ride a horse, then go over!" It's about a stick of incense. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I'm still riding a horse!" ”
The coachman unloaded the carriage and brought a horse over, and Zhong Yuqi straddled the horse and carried it on his back.
Zhong Yuqi said to Jin Tiannan: "Chunhua and Qiushi can't ride horses, you can arrange them for them!" ”
Jin Tiannan said: "Yes! ”
Afterwards, Jin Tiannan helped Chunhua and Qiushi to get on a horse and let another guard lead them.
After that, the group went straight ahead.
Walking forward around the foot of the mountain for a while, Jin Tiannan pointed to a thatched hut in front of him and said, "Princess, the thatched hut in front is the destination." ”
Zhong Yuqi frowned and said, "Why is it so ......?"
Jin Tiannan said: "If there are people in the mountains and forests, it will attract attention. ”
Jin Tiannan: "Generally, this kind of thatched house is a place for people to rest in the mountains and forests, no matter who builds it, they can go in to rest. If any of the thatched huts are broken, someone will repair them themselves. If there is someone in the thatched hut and someone else wants to take a break, ask the person who went in first. This is the rule of thatched huts in the mountains and forests. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "This place is so remote, and she is a woman, what should I do if I meet a bad person?" Do you have anyone there to watch? ”
Jin Tiannan said: "My subordinates have already ordered people to stay there." ”
Zhong Yuqi nodded.
After a short time, the group came to the thatched hut.
The people inside the thatched hut had already sensed that someone was coming, and there were quite a few of them. The guards inside were alert first, and first glanced outside through the crack in the wall, and saw that it was someone from Rui Wangfu, so they came out to greet them.
"My subordinates have seen the princess!"
Zhong Yuqi said: "No courtesy! Is anyone in there? ”
"Back to the princess, people are inside."
"I have something to tell her, you all wait outside!"
"Yes!"
Then, Zhong Yuqi got off the horse and walked in.
The thatched hut is very simple, and there are all kinds of simple living items. There was a "bed" made of wood with some thatch and a blanket on it. Fortunately, it is not cold at this time, and I have prepared a blanket, so I will not feel cold at night.
When Yuewu saw Zhong Yuqi, she cried with joy, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhong Yuqi, and said, "Thank you princess for saving me!" ”
Zhong Yuqi pulled Moon Dance up and said, "It doesn't have to be like this! You don't deserve this sin, but it's because of me. From now on, your fate depends on you. ”
Moon Dance said, "I know! If I can succeed, I will never forget the kindness of the princess! If I had become that ungrateful villain, I would have been struck by thunder! ”
