Chapter 24: Going to the Border (2)
Early the next morning, before dawn, Bai Chuxia and Haitang put on men's clothes, simply packed up some clothes, took the one hundred taels of gold rewarded by the king and the three thousand taels of silver given by Bai Junxiong a few days ago, and left the prime minister's mansion.
When he left, no one came out, but Xiao Si asked at the door and left, although he was already disappointed in Bai Junxiong in his heart, but seeing this situation, Bai Chuxia was inevitably a little sad in his heart.
Seeing that Bai Chuxia was a little unhappy, Haitang somewhat understood what the reason was.
Yesterday, Miss obviously told the master that she was going to leave at this time, but the master didn't even come to see off Miss.
Just as they were about to walk to the city gate, they saw Zhang Jinxiu from a distance, and Lin and Zhang Wenxian were standing next to a carriage.
There were soft ripples in her heart, they would come to see her off, which she didn't expect.
Zhang Jinxiu took a few steps forward and looked at it from a distance, they had been waiting here for a while, afraid that Bai Chuxia would leave earlier, so they arrived at the gate of this city early to wait, so as not to miss it.
Seeing two figures not far away walking towards this side, Zhang Jinxiu frowned slightly, and didn't think too much about continuing to look into the distance.
When the two men walked up to her and called for her, she still didn't react.
"Jinxiu," Seeing that Zhang Jinxiu didn't speak, Bai Chuxia stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "It's me!" ”
"Chu Xia," full of surprise, Zhang Jinxiu said in surprise, "You, you are Chu Xia?" ”
"It's me!" Bai Chuxia nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"Oh my God," Zhang Jinxiu turned to look at Lin and Zhang Wenxian, "Mother, father, you see, this is Chu Xia." ”
Hearing the voice, Lin and Zhang Wenxian stepped forward and couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw two young men who were as gentle as jade standing there.
I saw that Bai Chuxia was wearing a snow-white straight-placked robe, the drape of the clothes was very good, and the waist was tied with a wide belt of moon white auspicious cloud patterns, and only a piece of ink jade with excellent jade quality was hung on it. The black hair was tied with a silver ribbon at will, without a crown or hairpin, and a few strands of hair on the forehead were scattered by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.
The posture is thin and straight, the steps are gentle, such as the Zhilan jade tree, the light wind and the moon, the indescribable noble and elegant, poetic and picturesque.
And Begonia was dressed in a light blue robe, with a wide blue belt around her waist, and she looked like a scholar of Bai Chuxia.
"Chu Xia, I didn't expect you to wear men's clothes." Lin opened his mouth in surprise.
"When you're away from home, men's clothing will be more convenient." Bai Chuxia smiled faintly, it was not difficult to see that she was in a happy mood at this time.
Seeing that only Bai Chuxia and Haitang were only two people coming out, and they were walking on foot, and there was no carriage to send them off, Lin couldn't help frowning slightly, "What about the prime minister?" ”
"Madam, the lord didn't even send the miss, yesterday the miss obviously said to the lord that this time was gone......" Haitang couldn't help complaining, feeling a little resentful of Bai Junxiong in her heart, Miss is so good, the master is like this to Miss, if it is the second lady who leaves, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely come out to see it off.
"Begonia," interrupting Begonia's words, Bai Chuxia looked at the Lin family and said, "With my father-in-law and mother-in-law and Jinxiu to send me off, I'm already very content." ”
"Alas," Lin sighed, she didn't know that the appearance of a country was so harsh to the child, turned around and took the burden in Zhang Jinxiu's hand, and handed it to Bai Chuxia, "When you go out, it's good to bring more money, there are some broken silver for you, and some food, although you have to hurry, don't be wronged." ”
"Thank you, stepmother." In the past few days, every time Bai Chuxia saw the Lin family, her heart would be a little softer, and they were really good to her.
"Chu Xia," Zhang Jinxiu stepped forward and took Bai Chuxia's hand, and said worriedly, "You have to be careful on the road, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
"Driving ......"
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was those secret guards sent by the king, all dressed in black clothes, with dignified bodies and broad chests, and a majestic style that was invincible.
Bai Chuxia looked at Zhang Wenxian and them, a little reluctant, "Father-in-law, I'm leaving, Jinxiu, during this time, take good care of my father-in-law and mother, I will definitely return safely, don't be sad for me." ”
"Well, be careful on the road."
Zhang Wenxian's brows were frowning all morning, he was worried about Bai Chuxia.
Seeing that those dark guards were all riding horses, the one at the top was also leading an extra horse, thinking it was for her.
She is a woman, she has to ride a horse to the border pass, a long journey, thinking that on the way to come, she will definitely stay awake all night, otherwise she will not ride a horse but take a carriage.
Since the secret guards are all men, Bai Chuxia has already asked the king to prepare an extra horse, these horses are carefully selected in the palace, and they can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is difficult to buy them outside the palace.
At this time, the dark guard had already arrived at Bai Chuxia's side, leading the extra horse, and the leading secret guard hugged his fist at Bai Chuxia and said, "In Xia Yuanyi, I am ordered to protect my son." ”
"Okay."
Taking the horse handed by Yuan Yi, Bai Chuxia pulled the horse rope with one hand, kicked hard with his feet, and turned over on the horse.
Seeing Bai Chuxia getting on the horse so easily, Haitang couldn't help but be surprised.
Then I thought that the young lady had been enlightened by the gods, although she couldn't ride a horse before, but after the immortal enlightenment, she could even dance, paint, and play the piano, let alone ride a horse, and I was relieved to think about it.
Bai Chuxia stretched out his hand to the begonia, and with a little force, he pulled the begonia on the horse.
At this moment, another sound of horses' hooves came, and Bai Chuxia turned his head to look at the sound and saw that it was Xuanyuan Ming.
frowned slightly, why did he come.
"Father-in-law, stepmother, Jinxiu, I'm leaving, take care."
didn't wait for Xuanyuan Ming to arrive, Bai Chuxia said and pulled the reins hard, and the horse galloped away with a swish, Begonia was startled, and hurriedly hugged Bai Chuxia's waist tightly, her young lady is amazing, she can do anything after being ignited by the gods, look at how well this horse rides.
Yuan Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Bai Chuxia riding away.
The king said that this Miss Bai had never ridden a horse before, looking at the posture, it didn't look like it! It's like a man who grew up riding a horse.
He was a little surprised to see her on the horse just now, and now he was even more surprised to see her riding so smoothly.
Seeing that the person who rushed out was about to disappear, Yuan Yi pulled the reins hard and chased after him, and the other secret guards also chased after him.
After a moment, it faded away until it was gone.
Seeing that the person who was still standing just now suddenly disappeared, Zhang Jinxiu opened his mouth in surprise, "Mother, Daddy, Chu, Chu Xia can actually ride a horse, and ride so well?" Who said that she stayed in the house every day and embroidered. ”
Lin was also surprised, she didn't know that she could ride a horse, thinking that she was going to take a carriage.
"Appeal ......"
At this time, Xuanyuan Ming had already arrived in front of him, looking at Bai Chuxia's figure leaving, his eyes were dark.
She had seen him just now, but she didn't wait for him to leave.
Blink his eyes to look at Zhang Wenxian, "Lord Zhang." ”
"Lord Ming."
Zhang Wenxian saluted Xuanyuan Ming.
"Lord Ming."
Zhang Jinxiu and Lin also bowed to Xuanyuan Ming.
"Just now, Chu'er saw this king, right!" Xuanyuan Ming asked, although it was a question, it was also an affirmation.
He had just made eye contact with her, and when he saw that he was coming, he immediately rode away.
"Uh, Lord Wang, this, the lower officials didn't see it." Zhang Wenxian opened his eyes and said nonsense.
No longer looking at Zhang Wenxian, Xuanyuan Ming rode around and left, his face gloomy.
He got up in the morning to see her off, although it was a little late, but he finally caught up, but she saw him leave immediately, and he had never been so embarrassed.
But her men's clothes really amazed him.
It's just that why her riding posture is so standard, and the speed of riding is also very fast, it must be a long-term training to have such riding skills.
Again and again, unexpectedly.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ming leave, Lin Shi looked worried, "I hope Chu Xia can go all the way and return safely!" He glanced at the direction Bai Chuxia left again, then got in the car and left.
