Chapter 501: A chance encounter on the outskirts of the city
501
The autumn wind is cold.
On the official road outside the capital, two horses galloped side by side, but the horses were small, and the people on horseback were also small.
"Lord Wang......" A few feet away, the two male servants had worried looks on their faces, trying to catch up and stop them.
"Let them spread their wildness, and they don't have to stop them. Boys should learn how to run around like girls at home. A deep voice sounded, full of composure and pampering: "Besides, what am I afraid of." ”
When the two servants heard this, they took hold of the reins and followed unhurriedly.
Wei Yingjue's face was rarely full of joy, a pair of eyes were extraordinarily bright because of excitement, the cold wind blew his cheeks a little red, and his sideburns were green and neat, it was not difficult to expect that he would grow into a Qionglin Yushu in a few years.
Next to him sat Wei Hongan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a gentle expression. He didn't want to be a weak scholar who was powerless, so he followed Zhong Ye to learn riding and archery very carefully.
"Hong'an, your horse's foot strength is average, I'll give you a good horse in a few days," Wei Yingjue said to Wei Hongan on the horse, "You teach me to draw." ”
Wei Hongan is not only good at writing, but also good at painting, Wei Yingjue doesn't like to read much, but he has been interested in painting recently, and he is interested in seeing Wei Hongan's paintings.
"You don't have to send me a horse! Grandpa Zhong said that although the horse's foot strength is not fast enough, it is better than endurance. Besides, horses are spiritual, so it's best not to change them easily. Wei Hongan always smiled before saying a word: "If you don't feel happy, you don't have to wait for me, just go to the front and run back and forth happily." ”
"That's boring." Wei Yingjue said with interest.
Without Wei Hongan by his side, he was lazy to fly alone!
Zhong Ye took them out of the city to ride horses, which should have been down before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was rainy two days ago, so it was easy to wait until it was sunny today.
The two children ran into the Chaoyong Mansion early in the morning, urging Zhong Ye to take them out of the city quickly.
Before I knew it, another hour had passed.
"Grandpa Zhong, it's not too early at this time, shouldn't we go back to the city? If you let the little prince's temperament continue, I am afraid that I will not enter the city when it is dark. The servant who followed Wei Yingjue cautiously asked Zhong Ye's opinion: "Besides, the weather is indeed a little cooler sooner or later. ”
Zhong Ye looked up at the sun, it was already past noon. It was time to have lunch at this time, but because the two children were playful, they had been wandering outside the city until this time.
Zhong Ye didn't blame the servants of the Wei family for being troublesome, the Wei family has been passed down for several generations, Wei Yingjue is now the only root seedling in the Qingxi Palace, and it is always right to be more careful.
That is, Zhong Ye can take Wei Yingjue out of the city, and if someone else is afraid that the Qingxi Royal Mansion will not agree.
Wei Yingjue and Wei Hongan walked in front, and there were not many people coming and going on the official road at this time, not to mention that the road they chose usually had fewer pedestrians.
From a distance, I saw a team of chariots and horses coming from the opposite side, and everyone didn't care at first, but when they got closer, they found that this team of chariots and horses was very eye-catching.
In the middle is a four-horse chariot with a green silk oil wall, and the four horses are all snow-white fur, which is very miraculous. The curtain was closed, and I couldn't see how many people were sitting inside.
The groom who drove the car was neatly dressed, with heavy eyebrows and eyes, and a vigorous figure.
There were more than a dozen guards in front of and behind the car, including four Kunlun slaves who were unusually tall and dark-skinned.
"Whose carriage is this? Good swagger. Wei Hongan couldn't help but ask Wei Yingjue in a low voice.
The little prince shook his head twice and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it." ”
Seeing as the pair got closer and closer, the two men stood on the side of the road to make way for each other.
Who would have thought that when the carriage passed by the two of them, someone in the carriage said to stop.
Wei Hongan and Wei Yingjue couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that the people in this car knew them?
The curtain was lifted halfway, revealing most of the flower-like face and a moon-white sleeve.
The woman is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her voice is as sweet as a clear spring: "Dare to ask the two little officials, which family are you the sons of the house?" ”
Wei Yingjue and Wei Hongan are only eight or nine years old, Wei Yingjue grew up in the pile of beauties since he was a child, and he is only ordinary when he sees such a look.
Wei Hongan couldn't help blushing a little, he was relatively precocious and already knew how to defend men and women.
"Giggle...... The woman laughed coquettishly, revealing her thin white glutinous rice teeth, and deliberately looked at Wei Hongan and said, "Little boy, why is your face red?" Why don't you tell me which family you are? ”
Wei Yingjue immediately rolled his eyes, pulled out the bow and arrow behind his back, and said unceremoniously to the woman: "Who are we who can use you?" Shameless! ”
Seeing him like this, the guards outside the carriage immediately stepped forward.
But the woman in the car was not annoyed, waved her hand to let those people back down, and continued to tease Wei Yingjue and the two of them.
"How old are you? Is the arrow accurate? ”
Wei Hongan knew Wei Yingjue's temperament, and was afraid that he would really do it, so he ignored the woman, and only turned back to Wei Yingjue and said, "Let's go back!" I am hungry. ”
Wei Yingjue was also hungry, but he preferred to run outside to play. So even if you're hungry, don't talk about it.
At this moment, Zhong Ye and the two servants of the Wei family rushed over, and as soon as those people saw Zhong Ye's majestic demeanor, they knew that it was not easy to provoke, so they all became vigilant.
"Don't be entangled, the future will be long." Someone in the car spoke.
The voice was so low that Zhong Ye didn't hear it very clearly.
"Yes." The woman listened no more, glanced at a few people, and lowered the curtain.
The coachman flicked his whip, and the four white horses took a step forward, and the rest followed, and walked on in a mighty manner, as if someone occasionally looked back, as if on guard.
"Wow, that's a big pose!" The servants of the Wei family only dared to speak after the team walked away: "I haven't heard that there is such a person in the capital!" Could it be that there have been some new upstarts recently? ”
"Little prince, those people didn't disrespect you, did they?" Another servant asked.
"The woman in the car just asked whose family we belonged to." Wei Hongan replied: "He also asked how old we are." ”
"Probably because you two are too handsome." One of the servants said, "That woman is bold. ”
Zhong Ye's brows furrowed slightly, he only felt that the pair of centaurs who had passed by just now was a little unusual.
Although I don't know who is sitting in the car, the people outside are all practitioners.
Zhong Ye didn't know anything else, but looking at the entire capital, even if a person at the level of a prince wanted to gather so many good people at once, it would not be easy.
If it is an ordinary bodyguard, let alone such a dozen or so people, even if there are several times more Zhong Ye, he will not pay attention to it.
But the team that has just passed, including the coachman, is by no means mediocre.
It is possible to fight against Zhong Ye alone, but if you still have to protect the two children, I am afraid it will not be easy.
