Chapter Sixty-Seven: Departure
On the morning of departure, Ling'er got up to practice swordsmanship as usual, and when she went to greet the emperor and queen, she made a formal salute, "My son is not filial, I can't serve by my father's side and queen mother in the past two years, you have to take care of each other, hehe." I wanted to say a little more sensational, but I was afraid of provoking the tears of the queen mother, but Ling'er finally gave up, and the hippie smile was her style.
"Go my son, remember to write more letters to report safety."
"Yes, Erchen wrote it down."
"My son, go change into men's clothes and set off, my father and queen mother will not go out of the palace to see you off, I am mainly afraid that your mother will be sad." Father said half-jokingly.
"The retainers have retreated."
After saying goodbye to the emperor and queen, Ling'er went back to the dormitory to change into men's clothes, combed a man's hair bun, and began to tease Xiao Taoxin, "Well, is this son handsome?" ”
"Handsome, Your Highness is a beauty when she wears women's clothes, and her men's clothes look more feminine, and she has always been good-looking." Although Xiao Taoxin is reluctant to show it, she doesn't want to show it.
"I have to rush to the next post station today, can Your Highness leave sooner? I don't want to run in the middle of the night. Wen Qingjue was waiting at the gate of the palace in a hurry, and ran to the dormitory to find Ling'er.
"Who called you in!" Ling'er glared at him, "There are no rules!" ”
"Your Highness never comes out, and the Grand Commander has been waiting for you!"
"Won't I beat you when I bring it out, master? If you dare to enter and leave my room casually, don't blame me for beating people! ”
Wen Qingjue ignored her anymore and went out alone again. Ling'er hugged Xiao Taoxin: "Don't send me, stay here, I'm leaving, you take care of yourself, remember what I told you." ”
"Yes" Xiao Taoxin wiped her tears and turned her head to prevent Ling'er from seeing.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone was traveling in plain clothes today, Ling'er looked at everyone and said hello, this time I didn't see Mr. Wang Rufeng, she turned her head and asked the master: "Master, didn't Mr. Wang come?" ”
"Mr. Wang doesn't seem to know how to ride a horse, so he wants to set off in a carriage and won't go with us." The Grand Commander replied
"Great, let's go!" Ling'er saw that everyone's horse had something to bring, no need to ask, it was all Ling'er's, and if she wasn't allowed to bring a carriage, she could only bring some with each horse.
"Did your father bring a gift to Master Murong?"
"I've brought it all, let's go, Your Highness, it's noon!" Wen Qingjue urged.
"Did I ask you? Also, in the future, you will call me Sister Ling'er, I will be a year older than you. ”
"His Royal Highness is only three months older than the minister, and he is also called a year older?"
"Didn't you celebrate your birthday a while ago?!"
"The minister didn't, His Highness remembered the wrong date, and the minister accepted the gift by mistake, and asked His Highness to remember the words when he gave the gift."
Ling'er glared at him, ignored him anymore, and ran away with a horse "driving, driving, driving". The commander didn't speak, the horse followed behind, Ling'er didn't ride a horse for some days, he still jogged in the imperial city, went out of the city gate, and threw Wen Qingjue a big section, and only the commander could catch up with her, and the horses of the other guards were not as good as Ling'er's horses, and they were all some distances.
"Your Highness, ride slowly, don't fall!" The commander instructed in the back, Ling'er didn't pay attention to it, or kept running the horse, running for almost an hour, the horse was almost tired, and at noon, Ling'er found a tree and stopped, tied the horse, and sat on the ground and drank water.
"Ling'er, this is lunch at noon, it's simpler. Go to the post station in the evening and have a good meal. The Great Commander also arrived here, dismounted, and handed Ling'er some hungry bread.
"Master Xie." Ling'er took it and gnawed, "It's still like this, life is free and easy, you can run horses, and you can sit on the ground if you want to." ”
"Yes, Sister Ling'er's horse didn't pretend to be anything, and the horsepower is better than ours, of course she said such things." Wen Qingjue had just arrived, and he was tired and out of breath.
"You're so weird, be careful I smoke you!" Ling'er didn't look at him, drinking water and nibbling on bread.
"You're not a woman!" Wen Qingjue is not to be outdone! As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ling'er stand up, holding a horse whip and whipping Wen Qingjue is whip, fortunately Wen Qingjue ran fast, otherwise his clothes would have been rotten.
"Ling'er, you just went out, don't be rude!" The Grand Commander didn't want them to talk about it anymore.
"He was rude first." Ling'er complained.
"Wen Juma is not right. You're not right, you shouldn't hit people, you shouldn't run so fast, one is safety, the other is to take care of everyone's problems, other people's horses are not as good as your horsepower, everyone has something to dare not run fast. Just get to the post station before dark, don't be too fast, I've walked half the way just now. ”
"Yes, master, the apprentice is wrong." Ling'er pouted, ran to her chestnut horse, touched the horse's head, and had a little temper.
"Everyone has arrived, rest, eat some dry food and drink some water, and go to the post station to eat well in the evening."
"Yes!" When the guards came out of the camp, they all spoke in one voice.
"Master, where are you going to the post station tonight?"
"The post station in Xingzhou Mansion, run slowly in the afternoon, and you can get there before dark." The master sat on the ground nibbling on the cake and drinking water, Wen Qingjue was also nibbling on the cake and drinking water on the other side, according to the recent performance with Wen Qingjue, Ling'er hated him very much now, seeing him like this, he came up with a plan.
I saw Ling'er slowly and quietly walk behind the tree, behind Wen Qingjue, in front of his ear, and shouted loudly, "Ah!" ~”
Wen Qingjue jumped up in fright, half of the cake was eaten and the stalk went down to his stomach, and he hiccuped vigorously! Angrily pointed at Ling'er, "You, you, you!" ”
Before Wen Qingjue finished speaking, Ling'er laughed and walked away, and the master shook his head when he saw it, as long as his apprentice could be as naughty and happy as before, these little pranks were still harmless.
"It's unreasonable!" Wen Qingjue drank water and wanted to suppress his hiccups, but he was talking while hiccups, and said a word, he was angry and didn't want to say anything, put away the cake and went to Ling'er to settle the account, Ling'er laughed, and laughed at him while walking quickly, and laughed at him with Wen Qingjue's hiccup.
In front of the Grand Commander, Wen Qingjue's dumb man was decided: "Grand Commander, I ......"
"Ling'er, you come and sit next to me to rest." The commander couldn't help but give Wen Qingjue face, and only called Ling'er to his side.
"Yes, master." Ling'er jumped up and ran to the master's side, and grimaced at him when she ran past Wen Qingjue, Wen Qingjue quietly tripped her with her feet, seeing that Ling'er was about to have a close contact with the earth, the master suddenly flew over and helped her.
"My majesty, if His Highness really falls, you can explain it to Your Majesty by letter." The Grand Commander felt sorry for his apprentice, and he didn't want to talk too seriously about him.
"Dare to trip me!" Ling'er wanted to whip him, but was blocked by the master, "Ling'er!" That's enough! ”
"Humph! Let's go! As soon as Ling'er turned her head and ran, the chestnut immediately went, "Drive!" "A puff of smoke is gone.
"Hey! My little ancestor! The commander said helplessly: "Everyone get on the horse!" Walk! ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing, got on the horse and ran with Ling'er, Wen Qingjue was helpless, regretting that he wanted to take revenge on this stinky Ling'er.
It was another two hours of horse running, and there was no rest in between, Ling'er finally felt tired, and slowed down a little, "Master, is it almost there?" ”
"Yes, you see, the city gate is not far away, and it will be there soon." The Grand Commander shouted.
"Drive!" Ling'er was energetic again, beating the horse and running to the front.
The group arrived at the post station after a while, and today came quickly, and it was an hour before it got dark, so they tied their horses and sat on the first floor of the post station to drink tea.
After Wen Qingjue tied the horse, he came in panting, "You are really not a person when you run a horse!" It's not right to say that you are a woman! ”
"Wen Qingjue, are you really not in a hurry to be whipped?" Ling'er was also angry, and smiled deliberately.
Wen Qingjue ignored her and sat down to drink tea.
