Chapter 018: Uncle He's Marrying (1)
After bidding farewell to Qixian, everything returned to a boring state of hurrying. Fortunately, every time he rests, Sun upholds this storyteller and tells the soldiers a paragraph, so that the journey will not be too boring.
In this way, the convoy of relatives had been walking for four or five days, and then had to stop again.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is a big river ahead, because the weather is not cold enough, the ice is not strong enough, it seems that it is impossible to cross the river directly on the ice." Gu Shoucheng came to the carriage and explained to me the reason why the convoy suddenly stopped, "Wechen has sent people to look for feasible roads along the coast to see if there are any bridges or big ships, but at present, I'm afraid it is more likely that we will make a detour." ”
I motioned to Du Ruo to open the cotton curtain, wrap the cloak, and suggest to Gu Shoucheng: "If it is really as General Gu said, there should be no bridge in such a wide river, there are so many of us, it is not realistic to find such a big boat for a while, in my opinion, it is better to take a detour, it is important to ensure safety." ”
In my heart, I still have some resistance to the Crescent Moon Country, and being able to arrive later has fulfilled my wishes.
"Yes, Weichen will give an order, go north along the river and make a detour to the Crescent Country." As if he was afraid that I was worried about something, Gu Shoucheng added, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, it won't be much later in time." ”
I smiled awkwardly and motioned for Du Ruo to put down the cotton curtain. I could only hear Sun Zhengcheng outside the car and said happily: "If you speed up the ride, maybe you will get to the Crescent Moon Country in advance!" ”
"Well, it's time to speed up, after all, everyone is looking forward to getting to the Crescent Moon Country as soon as possible." Ye Liuyun echoed on the side, and then whispered to the side of the sedan chair in the car: "After all, there are only a few people who want to delay time, right, Your Highness the Princess?" ”
I said in my heart: "Ye Liuyun, this guy is indeed a little smart, but he just has a lot of mouths. ”
"Miss, what do you mean by what Guardian Ye said?" Idiot Du Ruo looked at me suspiciously, in private, Du Ruo would occasionally call me "Miss", but at this moment I threw a roll of the eye to her. "The devil knows what he means, by the way, pay attention to your words, you have to call me Her Royal Highness Princess in the future, remember?!"
Du Ruo pursed his lips and said mischievously: "Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess." ”
Because of the trip along the river, the problem of fresh water supply for the convoy was solved. Even some soldiers got nets from nowhere, and even netted some small fish in the river, and boiled fish soup with the river water, which was very fresh, and it could be regarded as improving life.
On this day, the convoy came to a village, and far away, it heard the high-pitched sound of suona. Du Ruo and I were very curious, and the days were warm, so I motioned for Du Ruo to open the curtain and come to the car to take a look.
It turned out that the village was doing a happy event, two people raised their heads and blew suona, a few people behind them carried a big red sedan chair, and there were many people lined up behind the sedan chair.
Seeing that there was no red groom official in front of the team, I thought that this was also a team to send off relatives. It's just that the people in this team don't seem to be as festive as in the suona sound, and even in the back team, there are people secretly wiping their tears, which is a bit strange.
Sun Zheng rode to the carriage, shook his head and sighed, "Evil, alas. ”
Hearing the sigh of this young man, I couldn't help but feel a little funny, and before I could speak, Du Ruo wondered: "How can the big day of marriage be regarded as a sin?" ”
"Can't you see? The bride they gave was not married at all. Sun Zheng said in a low voice mysteriously: "It's to marry a monster, Hebo, Hebo to marry." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but be a little moved, "This kind of witchcraft has long been forbidden by the imperial court, and they dare to do this?" Don't die! ”
Sun Zheng pointed to his head and said helplessly: "There is a problem here, it is difficult to cure, not to mention that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, who is willing to arouse the anger of the people and take care of this matter?" ”
"I'm going to take care of it!" I said seriously. "Stop!"
With my order, Gu Shoucheng, who was in front, immediately raised his arm and signaled the convoy to stop.
Ye Liuyun on the side came up and said with a dark cloud on his face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a good scar and forget the pain, isn't the lesson of Qixian County enough, why do you want to meddle with things again?" ”
"It's about human life, how can it be considered idle?" Li Da, who has never been good at words, actually refuted it for me. "What Her Royal Highness the Princess decides, we will carry out it, you are the escort of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how dare you speak so disrespectfully!"
Ye Liuyun frowned, and responded with an indifferent look: "I kindly reminded me that this kind of thing is not easy to manage." Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is better to be cautious. ”
"Yes, more is better than less, and who knows if this bride is also a devout believer?" Sun Zhengxin also echoed and reminded on the side.
Gu Shoucheng rode to the front, heard the words of a few people, guessed the approximately, and even reminded me not to make extraneous branches.
A few people, you said a word, even Li Da was a little hesitant, and looked at me blankly.
I stared at the oncoming procession and saw the crying behind me, and I guessed that the bride was unwilling. What's more, even if you want to, you have to wake up in time.
Just when I was hesitating to stop, the bride's sedan chair had stopped at a raised place on the riverbank, and everyone who was sending off their relatives knelt down facing the long river. A man dressed as a wizard appeared out of nowhere, holding a tambourine and seemingly reciting some incantation or prayer, bouncing around.
"The wizard has begun to officiate at the wedding of the two." Sun Zheng on the side explained on the side, and then suddenly a voice rose up, "It's going to be sent into the cave room!" ”
I looked and saw that the bride with a red hijab had come out of the palanquin, when two people got up and stepped forward to lift her. Obviously, he was afraid that the bride would run away, and he held her hostage and prepared to throw herself into the river.
"Ye Liuyun, go and save the bride!" I turned my head and ordered Ye Liuyun, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines.
Ye Liuyun pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I am only responsible for your safety, and I can't control other people's." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, let me go!" Li Da took the initiative to ask for help, but he was now driving the carriage and had to change horses. As for the others, they are all soldiers, and it is always not good to go and rob the bride.
"Ye Liuyun, punish evil and promote good!" I reminded him loudly not to forget what he had said, this is the purpose of Hongmen. I don't know if he finally remembered his chivalry, or if he was afraid that I would shake his identity, so he immediately rushed over with a sword and horseback.
"Be careful, don't hurt anyone!"
I reminded Ye Liuyun loudly at the back of Ye Liuyun's running.
