Chapter 47 Return to the city

The next day, Scarlet Yan and Wei Chimu got up early in the morning, cleaned up a little, and prepared to say goodbye to Shen Li.

When the two of them walked in front of Zhuxuan, they found that the old man was already waiting here, so they couldn't help but exchange glances and walked towards Shen Li.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Shen Li turned around and said leisurely without waiting for them to speak, "The old man knows that you two are in a hurry to go back, but ...... Are the two of you going to hike out of this Broken Heng Mountain within a radius of dozens of miles? ”

Scarlet Yan nodded helplessly when she heard this, she and Wei Chimu were both here for the first time. Duanheng Mountain is located in an extremely cold place, and when they came, they spent too much time on the road, but now they can only return the same way.

"What advice do you have?" Yu Chi Mu stood aside, saw that the old man's face showed some deep meaning, and asked out loud.

Shen Li Nunu mouthed, "The old man remembers that when you came to my valley before, there were two boys by your side, and I knew that you two busy people would not stay in the old man's valley for long, so I asked them to wait for you in a wide area in the southwest corner five days later, and now they should be waiting there." ”

Looking at the faint joy on the faces of the two, Shen Li stroked his beard, and then came to Scarlet Smoke's side, his eyes were dyed with a little color that Scarlet Smoke had never seen before, "Little Yan'er, the smoky imperial city is not as good as this Zhuxuan for the teacher, don't let the poisonous miasma cloud the smoke and erode the heart." After that, Shen Li returned to his previous appearance as an old naughty boy, waved his hand at them and then turned around, "Let's go, let's go, why don't you go, the old man is also happy to be quiet." ”

Knowing the master's fickle nature, Scarlet smiled, saluted the old man's back, and then went to the southwest with Yu Chimu.

Although his back was to the two, Shen Li still paid attention to the movements of Scarlet Smoke and Wei Chimu, and when the footsteps of the two faded away until he couldn't hear clearly, Shen Li turned around, looked at the distant sky, and sighed, "This day, it's going to change......

Scarlet Yan and Yu Chimu only followed what Shen Li said, all the way to the southwest, through layers of bushes, wading through streams and mountain streams, and after walking for about two hours, everything in front of them finally opened up.

Seeing four or five black dots in front of him from a distance, like people and horses, Scarlet Smoke was shocked, and he glanced at Wei Chimu beside him, and the two did not communicate verbally but went to the black dot with a tacit understanding.

When they went before them, it was fire and wood.

According to the old man, who claimed to be the princess's master, Fire and Wood had been waiting for the horses and clothes for almost an hour. The turmoil in Chaoge City and the northern frontier was imminent, and the two of them were anxious but because they were not familiar with the terrain, they could only wait here. Now he finally waited for the two of them, so that they could not be excited.

Huo immediately turned over and dismounted, galloped to his own prince, and saw that Yu Chi Mu's face, which was always a little pale, no longer had such a sense of femininity, presumably the bloodthirsty poison in his body had been dissolved, and his heart was even more happy, "Lord Wang!" The subordinates are late, please punish the prince. ”

Compared with the nonsense under the joy of the fire, Mu Jiang restrained his emotions, walked in front of the two, and reported the current situation to the two after a salute, "Lord, princess." Now the emperor is under house arrest, except for the prince's henchmen and the imperial doctor, no one can see him, and Concubine De Shufei and several royal palaces are under house arrest. Early this morning, Guo Qi, the secretary of the military department, was sent to northern Xinjiang to quell the turmoil, and the prince insisted on going his own way above the court, and used thunderous means to deter the ministers. ”

Hearing this, Yu Chimu nodded, "The general situation has been understood by this king, some trivial things, let's talk about it on the road." ”

With that, he turned over and got on his horse, pulled the scarlet cigarette to his chest to protect it, and then shook the reins, and the horse under his crotch galloped out, and a group of four people headed for the song city a hundred miles away.

After nearly three days of jolting on horseback, the gate of Chaoge City finally appeared in front of Scarlet Smoke, in addition to letting the horse rest these days, the four of them were basically on the road, and the bumps all day long almost turned the girl's skeleton upside down, and now that he can finally enter the city, Scarlet Smoke has an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

However, when they entered, they found that the three gates of the city were guarded by soldiers, and the identities and belongings of the people entering and leaving the city were strictly checked. Seeing this, Huo took out two sets of clothes from the package he had prepared earlier and handed them to his prince and princess.

Mu Ze said in a deep voice on the side, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the throne, he has strictly controlled the flow of people in and out of the city, saying that he is afraid that some rogues will take the opportunity to mix into Chaoge City and cause panic. ”

Hearing this, he was stunned, and just stretched out his hand to take it, but Yu Chimu behind him drove forward, so that the girl's hand and the clothes in the fire hand were about to be missed, "The prince is doing this just to intercept this king." ”

"The prince is in the north at this time, and this time he is entering the ...... with such fanfare" Mu was stunned, and just wanted to persuade his own prince, but he received a disapproving look from Scarlet Cigarette, and he swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

Scarlet Smoke glanced at the man's handsome face, remembering Huo Hemu's detailed report on the current situation along the way, a bright light flashed in his mind, "The prince has a countermeasure?" ”

The sword eyebrows were raised slightly, Yu Chimu's thin lips raised a slight arc, and there was a hint of mockery in his cold voice, "How can those old foxes in the court be easily intimidated?" It's just waiting for a reason, so the king will send them a reason, hoping not to disappoint the king. ”

After that, Wei Chi Mu stepped forward immediately, and when he reached the gate of the city, a sharp-eyed soldier raised his spear and shouted,

"What kind of person, if you want to enter the city, why don't you get off the horse quickly?!"

This shout immediately attracted the eyes of all directions, and the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate was stagnant.

However, Wei Chimu ignored his call, and pulled the reins and went straight past the man's side.

The soldier had been at the city gate for almost seven days, and he had never seen such a man who ignored him, and he was annoyed for a moment, but when he saw that the man and woman on the horse were both of extraordinary appearance and temperament, he hurried to the horse, and said,

"I don't know which young master and young lady are traveling, please don't embarrass the villain."

Seeing this, the fire that followed him snorted coldly, "The master of my family is the king of Xinling in the south, so don't give way quickly!" ”

The King of Xinling is famous, and no one in the south knows it, but he has never seen his deity. Hearing that this man was the King of Xinling at the moment, the people around him were in an uproar, and they were all suspicious.

"Hmph, that's nonsense!" At this moment, a high-flying voice came from afar, "Wei Chimu is now in the northern frontier, even he dares to pretend, come on, take these four people to Young Master Ben!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a man with a big belly and a brocade robe walked leisurely, looking like he didn't take people seriously. This person is the eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Qing.

Scarlet Yan has never seen this person in this life, but he remembered that in the previous life, the Xie family was saved when Wei Xian ascended the throne because of the early position, and it is rumored that Xie Zongquan, the head of the Xie family, is a very far-sighted person, but he doesn't want to teach the eldest son to be like this.

"Heh," Wei Chi Mu sneered when he heard this, "He is really a good son of Xie Zongquan." ”

"You actually call your father by his name!" Xie Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then he jumped like thunder, "It's really bold!" What are you still doing in a daze, quickly tie him up for Young Master Ben! Otherwise, let Lord Xie know, so that you can't eat and walk around! ”

The soldiers who were stunned on the side looked at each other, and after listening to the conversation between the two, a clear-eyed person could see that the identity of the man on the horse was extraordinary, and he did not dare to act rashly.

And where did the angry Xie Qing notice this, since his father was promoted by the crown prince, the power of the Xie family has risen. Even he was left with an idle position, and after a few days, he was calling for wind and rain at this city gate, how could he ever meet such a person in front of him?

"Let me tell you, if you obediently dismount at this time and compensate the young master, a few hundred taels of silver, this matter can be solved," Xie Qing snorted coldly, "If you don't get off the horse...... You're welcome! ”

Yu Chimu was still sitting on the horse and staring at the man, and the disdain and ridicule in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Boy, I think you are ......" Xie Qing saw that the man was silent, and his heart was even more annoyed, his eyes turned, and suddenly an ambiguous smile appeared on his face, "Hey, or introduce the girl in your arms to the master, you can also ......"

Before the words fell, Xie Qing felt that a danger dared to attack, he reflexively took a step back, but still heard a "poof", a sword light skimmed, a few strands of hair in front of his forehead fell in response, and the surroundings were so quiet that Xie Qing could hear his heartbeat, if he was late in that step just now, he was afraid that it would not be his hair that would be broken, but his own head.

Looking at the man on the horse with some fear, Xie Qing was shocked and frightened, and even spoke a little uncomfortably, "You...... You really ...... Is it guts...... Big Bag! Young Master Ben......"

"Son! Get down on your knees yet! However, before he finished speaking, he interrupted his words with a broken drink, Xie Qing was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down with a "plop", the speed was so fast that Scarlet Yan wondered if this person was extremely familiar with this action.

In the next second, a middle-aged man with a lofty spirit appeared in front of everyone, and Scarlet Yan recognized it at a glance, this person was Xie Zongquan, the squire of the military department. I think that someone with a heart found out that the situation was wrong, so he specially invited him, but now I don't know if he, the squire, can protect his eldest son from the hands of King Xinling.

Xie Zongquan heard that the eldest young master had an argument with a man who claimed to be the king of Xinling at the city gate, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he immediately dropped the scroll in his hand, and hurried all the way to the city gate.

He walked to the man's horse step by step, and under the eyes of everyone, he lifted his robe and knelt down with a "bang", and pressed one hand on Xie Qing's head, forcing him to stumble to the ground, and said in a trembling voice,

"I don't know if the prince is driving, Xie Zongquan has no way to teach his son, and he has lost his welcome, please forgive King Xinling!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
