Chapter XVII: Reaching an Agreement
Wen Ruyi was satisfied in her heart and said, "Since this is the case, then the prince will be an alliance with me!" After speaking, Wen Ruyi stretched out his little thumb and looked at Chu Hongze.
Chu Hongze was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "What does this mean?" β
Wen Ruyi said "tsk" lightly and muttered softly, Chu Hongze grabbed Chu Hongze's hand before he heard Wen Ruyi clearly, and pulled the little fingers of the two together.
"Well, that's it, this means that you will always be loyal to the oath agreed upon by both parties, and once you regret it, you will die without a place to be buried!" Wen Ruyi looked at Chu Hongze with burning eyes.
After Chu Hongze was stunned, he laughed softly, like a spring breeze: "Okay, just like the princess said!" β
Since then, the two have finally reached an agreement!
β¦β¦
After Hu Yanmin coaxed Wen Dongling to sleep, he looked at his daughter's restless appearance even in her sleep, and her heart became even more angry.
When I asked that short-lived ghost to marry into the Rui Wangfu, I just wanted to be an obedient chess piece, so that I could monitor the Rui Wangfu and get the latest information.
But who knew that Wen Ruyi was actually a pig and a tiger, and now don't say that she is pinching her, but let her return to the mountains and forests and the dragon into the abyss.
Even, today I gave myself a good and undignified dismount, even Yingniang......
As if remembering something, Hu Yanmin's face became even more grim.
Looks like it's time to speed things up.
"Cui'er, come here." Hu Yanmin turned his head and greeted an inconspicuous maid beside him.
The maid stepped forward, and Hu Yanmin whispered a few words in her ear.
Cui'er's eyes changed several times, and finally saluted lightly: "The slave knows, let's do it." β
β¦β¦
After some tossing and turning in the carriage, the second half of the road has been spent in silence.
However, after half an hour, Wen Ruyi finally noticed that something was wrong.
She glanced at Chu Hongze and found that this person was closing his eyes to recuperate, and Wen Ruyi lifted the curtain and looked out in confusion.
This is a great discovery, they are no longer in the capital, but have come to an extremely desolate suburb!
Wen Ruyi was startled at first, and then discovered that there was something wrong with this place.
It is true that the suburbs will indeed be much more desolate than the capital, and both the flow of people and the smell of fireworks will be much thinner, but this place is ......
It's so desolate!
Wen Ruyi frowned slightly, and the carriage traveled slowly in order to be comfortable, so that Wen Ruyi could take a closer look at this place.
"See what?" A warm and lazy voice came from behind, it was Chu Hongze.
Wen Ruyi lowered the curtain, shifted his gaze back, and said to Chu Hongze after consideration: "Where is this?" Has something happened recently? β
Hearing Wen Ruyi's words, Chu Hongze finally opened his eyes and looked at Wen Ruyi fixedly: "You are the first person to say this sentence in the past six months." β
Wen Ruyi was puzzled, but Chu Hongze did not continue to explain, but closed his eyes again: "What else have you discovered, continue to say." β
This makes it clear that Wen Ruyi needs to be investigated.
Wen Ruyi was amused in her heart, but she also knew that this was Chu Hongze's test of herself, no way, who made herself suspicious?
Wen Ruyi thought about it in his heart, and then said: "In addition to the capital, it stands to reason that it will be a little more desolate than the capital. β
"But there's one thing that's very strange."
Wen Ruyi cleared her throat: "But wherever people live, there is one thing that cannot be hidden. β
"Smoke."
Wen Ruyi looked at Chu Hongze, who opened his eyes and spit out the word in his mouth, and nodded lightly.
"It's dusk now, and no matter how few people are and how desolate they are, they will start preparing the last dinner of the day, but this placeβ"
Wen Ruyi gently lifted the curtain again, and the sky outside was still covered by the sunset, but it was very clean, and there was not a single wisp of cooking smoke in sight.
"But this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be a large area of land with empty houses and no people? Come to think of it, something must have happened recently that made all the people here leave in the shortest possible time......"
Chu Hongze looked at Wen Ruyi's soft and resolute side face under the glow, and laughed lightly: "You are indeed a little different." β
"Wei Feng."
Wen Ruyi heard this name for the first time, and looked at Chu Hongze suspiciously, but unexpectedly, the curtain of the carriage was opened in the next second, and a black shadow rushed in.
This black shadow moved very quickly, Wen Ruyi was startled, and when he looked at it, it was actually a person who was tightly wrapped all over his body.
"What does the master command?" The man in black didn't look at Wen Ruyi, knelt straight in front of Chu Hongze, and said in a low voice.
Chu Hongze turned his head to Wen Ruyi and said: "This person is my secret guard, his name is Wei Feng, he has been by your side since today, if you need anything, you just need to say hello as softly as just now." β
