Chapter Seventy-Three: The Blind
Lan He reluctantly got into the carriage, looked back at Xiao Yichen step by step, until the carriage left the woods, Xiao Yichen's hanging heart was not put down, Lan He's appearance almost ruined his big thing, fortunately, there was no danger, he can only wait now, there can be no mistakes and mistakes in the middle!
"Come out." Xiao Yichen's words fell, and Mama Gong and the leader of the guards came from behind the tree in the distance.
Xiao Yichen ordered the two to go back to the inn first, take care of Xueyi, and everyone will meet at the Qilin Ferry. After seeing the two leave, Xiao Yichen opened the wheelchair, but it turned out that the wheelchair is also a characteristic, when you don't need it, you can put down the handrail and fold it into a box, not only that, the wall of the box is hollow, and there are some necessary items that Xiao Yichen needs. His usual cross-dressing items and three character masks!
After a while, Xiao Yichen became another person, with a few pockmarks on his white face, three locks of beard floating on his chest, as if he was a teacher. After the disguise, Xiao Yichen left the woods with his suitcase.
Xue Yixue opened her eyes in the inn, she didn't see Xiao Yichen on the side, and was about to get up, when Mama Gong walked in with a wooden basin in her hand.
"Auntie, I'll just come by myself." Xue Yi hurried.
Mama Gong waited for Xue Yi to finish washing, and pressed her on the chair and sat firmly: "Xue Yi, you can afford me to call me an aunt, but what should I do is still let me do it, so as not to tell the truth in the future, do you hear?" ”
Xue Yi looked at Mama Gong with a serious face, nodded in confusion, she looked sideways outside, and asked quietly, "What about him?" ”
Mama Gong pretended to be puzzled: "Who?" ”
"Mama......." Xue Yi shook Mama Gong's arm coquettishly: "Who else can there be, Lord Wang." ”
Mama Gong smiled lightly: "Do you miss him if you don't see him for so long?" It's not time to kick and bite. ”
Xue Yi broke away from Mama Gong's hand, pouted and ignored her. Mama Gong said: "The prince has already gone to the Qilin Ferry to wait for us first, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”
After breakfast, everyone walked towards the unicorn ferry together.
Traveling all the way, about two or three hours later, everyone came to Qilindu, Xue Yi and Gong Mama got off the carriage, looked at the white river in front of them, quietly in the sun, glowing with a little bit of waves, listening to the small boat on the ferry, Xue Yi looked at the ferry, only to understand why this place is called Qilin Ferry, the shape of the river bank is like the body of the unicorn, and the ferry is like the open mouth of the unicorn.
Mama Gong frowned, she found that this Qilindu seemed to be calm, but there was an indescribable urgency and threat, as if there had just been a fight here, and the humid air was filled with a smell of blood, her hand held Xue Yi's hand tightly, and her eyes looked around for Xiao Yichen's shadow.
Xiao Yichen walked from behind with a wheelchair, Xue Yi's eyes were sharp, and she found that there was a little blood on his boots, she rushed over, held Xiao Yichen's hand, and her eyes fell on his boots, Xiao Yichen followed Xue Yi's gaze and found the blood on his boots, he shook his head, and his eyes signaled Xue Yi not to say it.
"You ......." Xue Yi glanced at him worriedly: "Are you okay?" ”
Xiao Yichen shook his head and took the opportunity to wipe the blood off his boots. Xiao Yichen still didn't worry about Lan He going alone, he knew that the Qilin Ferry has always been a place where water bandits come out, those water bandits are no different from ordinary people, they live by crossing the river on weekdays, but once they find that the merchants who come and go have rich people or eunuchs, they will push people into the river and rob the finances, which is also good to say, there is a group of bandits who specialize in robbing houses and houses in Qilin Mountain, not far from Qilindu, those people lick blood on the knife edge, and do all kinds of evil, if Lan He meets them, it must be more than lucky, so he disguised himself to go to Qilin Mountain to secretly escort Lan He.
As Xiao Yichen expected, Lan He met the robbers at the foot of Qilin Mountain, Xiao Yichen rescued him in time, what puzzled him was that Ji Wuyao was also in Qilin Mountain, the two killed all the bandits together, and watched Lan He go by boat.
Xiao Yichen found a hidden place again, changed back to his original appearance, and just arrived in a wheelchair, but he didn't want to be found by Xue Yi with blood stains on his feet. Seeing that Xue Yi's face was full of worry and worried about him, he smiled warmly, held her small hand with her big hand and gave her a stable look, and said two words softly: "Don't worry." ”
Xiao Yichen motioned to Mama Gong and the others not to get on the boat, and after everyone waited for a cup of tea at the ferry, an official boat with carved beams and paintings came out of the waves. Everyone abandoned the carriage and horses, got on the official ship, and headed for the other side.
Along the way, boarding the boat and changing horses are rarely allowed to eat and sleep, and have also encountered robbers blocking the way, the strange thing is that as long as the bandit leader sees the double phoenix jade pendant on Xue Yi's waist, he will not only immediately put down his weapons, but also entertain them with delicious food and drink. It's just that Mama Gong changed her face a little when she saw the Shuangfeng jade pendant at first glance, as if she knew the origin of this jade pendant, Mama Gong didn't say it, Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen were naturally inconvenient.
The group walked and stopped like this, and gradually walked to a sparsely populated place surrounded by mountains, Xiao Yichen knew that Lingbei was in front of him, the land of Lingbei was cold and damp, and the people were fierce, no one would put him as a prince in their eyes, let alone recognize Ji Wuyao's double phoenix jade pendant, Xue Yi's double phoenix jade pendant was no longer easy to use.
Before the carriage came to the rugged mountain road, the winding sheep intestine road carriage could not pass, Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen had to get out of the car and walk, Xiao Yichen looked at the vast mountain and told everyone: "Over this mountain, it is the boundary of Lingbei, so we must be extra careful, everyone follow closely, don't fall behind!" ”
Xue Yi'er volunteered to walk in the front, the guards followed, Xue Yi, Gong Mama and Du Ruo were in the middle, the group slowly climbed towards the mountain, the mountain road was difficult, everyone looked down at their feet, and suddenly heard Xue Yi'er shouting: "Grandpa is here, don't get out of the way!" ”
Everyone's hearts are tight, at this time everyone is walking in a row, the back is tightly attached to the mountain wall, the foot is a cliff, if you meet a powerful thief here, it can be said that a husband is invincible!
The sound of a knife coming out of its sheath.
When everyone followed Xue Yi'er's voice and looked over, they found that there was a silver-haired old man blocking the middle of the road on the mountain road, and the old man was facing the cliff with a cane, as if he hadn't heard Xue Yi'er's cry, and still stood there dumbfounded, neither dodging nor answering Xue Yi'er's question.
The rest of the people saw that there was only such an old man, and their hanging hearts naturally relaxed, but Xiao Yichen didn't dare to be careless, he knew that he could stand on the top of this mountain alone, and this old man was not an idle person, he crossed the crowd, drank Xue Yi'er, and gave a salute to the old man with both hands in his fists: "Old man, can you let the inferior borrow the road?" ”
The old man still ignored it, facing the cliff with a sluggish expression, Xiao Yichen found out that the old man was actually a blind man, and suddenly saw the old man leaning forward, about to fall off the cliff, Xiao Yichen pressed the handrail on the wheelchair, a silver wire shot out, hooking the old man's ankle, Xiao Yichen used force in his hand, and dragged the old man back, the old man cried bitterly: "What are you doing to save me?!" I don't have the face to live! ”
Xiao Yichen gave Xue Yi'er a look, Xue Yi'er is good at observing words and emotions and can speak well, he hurriedly walked over and tightly "supported" the old man, at this time, he was also sure that this blind old man did not know any martial arts, looking at his temperament, he should be a scholar. Xue Yi'er smiled: "Uncle, what do you look at, it's just that I am rude, I am rude, I scared you old, you see you making such a fuss, my master scolds me or second, how can I have this conscience?" Come, I'll carry the old man down the mountain, let's go down the mountain and talk about something. ”
Xue Yi'er couldn't help but say that he carried the old man, and when everyone walked to the post station at the foot of the mountain, it was also night, and the post station saw that it was the prince of Yu who arrived, and he was very enthusiastic, although it was only a few dishes of game, everyone felt that it was the best thing they had ever eaten.
After being full of wine and food, Mama Gong and Xue Yiduruo were tired and went back to the room to rest, the old man already knew that the person who saved him was the prince, and immediately knelt tremblingly in front of Xiao Yichen and claimed guilt.
Xiao Yichen ordered Xue Yi'er to help the old man up and asked: "But I don't know if the old man has any grievances or grievances, this old man is going to jump off the cliff and commit suicide, the old man just shook his head and shook off two lines of muddy old tears."
Xiao Yichen saw that he didn't say anything and was not easy to force, he was very tired after a long journey along the way, so he immediately ordered Xue Yi'er to take care of the old man and send him home tomorrow.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, when the rooster crowed, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the inn.
"See General Kou." Xiao Yichen listened to Yi Cheng's voice in the room.
Another voice was a little arrogant: "You are so daring! I heard that the prince arrived at the post station last night, why didn't he report to General Ben?! ”
"General...... The general forgave the sin, but because it was dark and the road was slippery, he did not report to the general. ”
"Hmph, the prince is to blame, can you bear it?" The general obviously had the intention to find fault, and he didn't want to spare the county Cheng.
Xiao Yichen listened to the Yicheng in the house, and coughed in the house: "Who is making noise outside the door and making noise about the king's good dreams?" ”
General Nakou didn't answer, and Xue Yi'er pushed Xiao Yichen's wheelchair out of the house. The two saw a general in a golden helmet and golden armor sitting on a jujube red horse, the general was carrying a spear in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Yichen in a wheelchair, he hung the spear on the horse ring, and clasped his fists with both hands to salute Xiao Yichen: "The last general will see the prince, I hope the prince will forgive the last general with armor on his body, and he can't salute it all!" ”
According to the rules, no matter how big the general is, he is also a minister, and Xiao Yichen is also a king no matter how down-and-out he is, General Kou should get off the horse and bow to Xiao Yichen, but now he is sitting on horseback, obviously not putting Xiao Yichen, the king of Chongqing, the fake king of Lingbei, in his eyes, Xue Yi'er is angry, walked to the horse with his stomach down, and looked at General Kou with his waist and smiled coldly: "This general is not strange, forgive the small eyes, I don't know if you are really fake, how about I give it a try?" ”
