Chapter 256: The Aftermath

You and I are prickly in every sentence.

But even so, there was no sign of anger.

Shi Xia often deals with the Jun family, and naturally from time to time he will come into contact with Xie Meng, who has become a disciple of Yu Lao, and the two girls have long been familiar with each other.

Seeing that they were about to fight each other again, Qi Changrong suddenly said lightly on the side: "If you quarrel again, go to the car behind you to quarrel." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were instantly quiet, only looked at each other unconvinced a few times, and then turned their heads with a cold snort.

In this way, the inside of the carriage must be clean.

If it was in the past, some people said that the prince of the East Palace would read this kind of unnutritious folk script, and that person would definitely be regarded as a loser.

But now, she not only watched it, but also watched it with relish.

When Qi Changrong put down the notebook and rubbed his temples lightly, Xie Meng said cautiously on the side: "Your Highness, although you are not in the Great Jin, you are still the prince of the East Palace of the Great Jin, but don't give up on yourself." ”

As she spoke, her worried eyes kept glancing over the book.

Obviously, she was very worried about Qi Changrong's current situation.

Before leaving the Jun Mansion, Yu Lao had a secret conversation with her for three hours, so she had a little understanding of the current situation.

Although she didn't know anything else, she knew very well that at least Qi Changrong's departure was not her original intention.

Xu was forced to the point where there was no way out, so he had to do it as a last resort.

Shi Xia poured a cup of hot tea and respectfully handed it to Qi Changrong.

After hearing Xie Meng's words, she turned around and glared at the others fiercely, as if she was complaining that she should not mention His Highness's sadness.

After receiving Shi Xia's warning, Xie Meng touched his nose stupidly, ready not to get a response.

After all, if she had been dug up for an old scar, she would probably have scratched that person to death with two slaps.

On the side, Qi Changrong took the hot tea and took a leisurely sip, the heat burned from the mouth to the chest, as if the pores all over her body were opened, making her breathe a long sigh of relief.

After listening to Xie Meng's words, the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile: "What makes you think that you are alone and giving up on yourself?" ”

Xie Meng paused, and said uncertainly: "It should be...... In my heart, the prince of the East Palace never reads nonsense? ”

"From today onwards, your inherent impression of loneliness can be changed slightly."

“???”

Xie Meng's face was dazed, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of her words.

Fortunately, Xie Meng is not a person who likes to compete with himself, since he doesn't understand, he doesn't have to think about it.

After thinking about it, Xie Meng said: "I'm here to protect His Highness's safety, so Your Highness doesn't have anything to tell me?" ”

Qi Changrong glanced at her with half-squinted eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, after only following Yu Lao for a few months, you have the confidence to protect Gu?" ”

"You look down on me?!" Xie Meng almost blew up, subconsciously straightened his sitting posture, and said seriously: "Don't look at me like this, it's no problem for me to fight three big men alone!" ”

"Oh?"

Xie Meng is still emphasizing: "Absolutely no problem! ”

Qi Changrong said lightly: "Then you can fantasize about the lone enemy as three hundred big men." ”

Barely able to fight three, but if it was three hundred, she could settle herself without struggling.

Hearing this, looking at Xie Meng's instantly frozen expression, he let out an inopportune sneer next to him.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Shi Xia Le's uncontrollable smile.

Xie Meng glanced at Qi Changrong, who had never been moving, and then at Shi Xia, who was waiting for her joke, and closed his mouth in amusement.

There is no one to mess with this master and servant.

……

The mission was still unhurried, and half a month later, when passing through Yuezhou to supply supplies in the city, Qi Changrong was sitting lazily by the inn window reading a book.

The faint light that came in from the window hit her face, and the fine fluff on her face seemed to be visible, as if it gilded her with a golden glow.

It seems, sacred and not to be desecrated.

Legacy and independence, nothing more than that.

Looking at her like this, I don't know what kind of mentality, Xu didn't want her to regret it in the future, so Shi Xia suddenly said: "Your Highness, this stay, Yuezhou is the closest place to General Jun." ”

The sound of flipping books by the window stopped abruptly.

Since the words have been spoken, there is absolutely no reason to take them back.

Shi Xia held back the trembling in his heart and said to himself: "If Your Highness wants to see the general, it will only take seven or eight days to go back and forth from here to Liangzhou...... We can take this opportunity to repair in Yuezhou, and there will be no problem. ”

She held back these words for a long time.

Once His Royal Highness steps into the territory of Yan Kingdom, the day when he wants to meet again is unknown.

For a long time, just when Shi Xia thought that he was about to be scolded, Qi Changrong's faint laughter came from his ears: "What if you see it or not, it's just to add to your troubles." ”

If she met now, she didn't know how to explain to that person, and it was better not to see it than to quarrel unreasonably.

Hearing this, Shi Xia had nothing to say.

She knew that the matter between His Highness and the general was not something that a slave could handle.

Qi Changrong didn't say anything more, turned a new page casually, lowered his eyes, and his brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.

The content that would have pleased her suddenly became bland and tasteless, and the dense words stabbed her eyes.

After a long time, she no longer forced herself, calmly closed the book again, and asked lightly, "When will the purchasing team come back?" ”

The army of his ministers and escorts numbered in the hundreds, and the daily expenses were a large amount, and they did not carry much with them, so they could only buy them from them when they passed through the great city, and consume them together.

Shi Xia counted the hours and replied, "With Miss Xie leading the way, we should be back soon." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Xia couldn't help but hook his lips, and a faint smile crossed his eyes.

Xie Meng volunteered to join the purchasing team, and the days of rushing along the way had already worn out her patience.

It's a rare time to be free.

Qi Changrong didn't stop him.

After all, Xie Meng grew up in Shijin and knew the prices of the people well, and with her following, she also avoided black-hearted businessmen from sitting on the ground and raising prices.

Although Qi Changrong didn't care about the silver, he didn't want to be cheated either.

Whoever you say will arrive.

As soon as Shi Xia finished speaking, after cautiously waiting for Qi Changrong to drink the tonic he boiled, Xie Meng, who went out with the purchasing team, came back happily.

She pushed open the door with a big grin, saw the two people sitting by the window, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "The things I bought today should be enough to support us entering the territory of Yan Kingdom." ”

As she spoke, she walked forward and sat down next to Shixia.

Hearing this, Qi Changrong nodded, and the corners of his mouth curved: "In that case, you go and order the people below to continue on your way after half an hour." ”

"In such a hurry?" Xie Meng opened his mouth, glanced at Shi Xia, and after seeing the doubts in the other party's eyes, he opened his mouth to persuade: "After a few days of traveling, I'm afraid the soldiers will not be able to stand it for a long time, and the ministers of the envoy group are all delicate and frail, how can they endure this hardship?" ”

Who can feel better than anyone in the snow for several days?

I finally found a foothold today, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't wait for a good sleep and had to continue to hurry, if she really carried out it like this, I am afraid that she would complain.

Compared with Xie Meng's surprise, Shi Xia seemed much calmer, she frowned slightly, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, there is not much difference between the matter of peace sooner or later, why do you need to be in such a hurry?" ”

"If you stay for a long time, you will always have a long night and a lot of dreams." Qi Changrong lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes formed a shadow under his eyes, covering the darkness in his eyes.

After a while, she raised her eyes, and happened to see Shi Xia and Xie Meng having an unspeakable appearance, the confusion in her eyes gradually receded, ignoring the strangeness in her heart, but she suddenly chuckled and said: "That's it, rest here for the night today, and go again tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Xia and Xie Meng didn't quite understand what she meant, and when they saw that Qi Changrong blinked once and changed his mind, it was not good to go down immediately to give orders.

After making sure that she would not change things again, Shi Xia went out and relayed Qi Changrong's words to others word for word.

Winter snow and night always come very fast, and before the book in Qi Changrong's hand was finished, the light on the horizon was invaded by darkness, and in an instant, the whole sky became gloomy, and the goose feather snow fell from the sky with the howling cold wind.

She stood by the window with her hands in her hands, her unfinished book resting on her dwarf, and her eyes looked into the distance, as if she could see the person she wanted to see through the snow curtain in front of her.

I don't know how long I stood there, but suddenly there was a soft knock on the door.

Inside the door, Qi Changrong's figure paused slightly, and he raised his voice slightly: "Come in." ”

After getting the right word, Shi Xia walked in from outside with a soothing soup.

Seeing her standing outside the window, a look of disapproval crossed Shi Xia's eyes, and after steadily dragging the soup bowl on the dwarf, he boldly reached out and closed the window.

"Your Highness is weak, and there is a cold wind outside, how can you be so inconsiderate of your body?"

Seeing this, the corners of Qi Changrong's mouth pulled a helpless arc: "How can you be as delicate as you say?" ”

"It's not that Your Highness is delicate, it's that the slave is scared, Your Highness should cherish the slave, don't hurt your body." Shi Xia pursed his lips and carefully helped Wen Xi to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Obviously, until this moment, the fear that had risen from the past still hovered in her heart, and it never subsided.

The hot soothing soup gradually cooled, and Shi Xia carefully held the bowl and handed it over.

Qi Changrong took it, drank it all, and asked casually when he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "What about Xie Meng?" ”

At the mention of Xie Meng, Shi Xia couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Your Highness, don't mention her again, she is not angry, she has been shouting from afternoon to night that she has a sore back, and now she has fallen asleep in the next room." ”

"It's hard for her, a good girl's family has to follow us for a long journey." Qi Changrong's eyes flashed with a shallow smile.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene where Wen Qiyu helped Xie Meng sell pork, one worked hard, and the other commanded.

Those days are too leisurely, and I don't know how many times better than now.
