In late autumn, the land of the north is vast, and the remnants of the leaves fly everywhere the bleak autumn wind passes. At this time, although the Ming Empire was still bright on the surface, it was actually sick to the bone marrow, like a building about to collapse.

On the mist-shrouded hill, a convoy of horses was moving slowly, guarded by dozens of cavalry in front and behind.

"Ling'er, how far is this from Langcheng?" Zhu Wanqing, who had been bumpy all the way, couldn't stand it, and picked up the curtain and asked the maid.

"Princess, there are still two hours to arrive, you can bear with it a little longer, I finally entered Langcheng, and I have a place to rest tonight, so I don't have to live in the broken post house." Ling'er said.

Zhu Wanqing crossed over to Daming and became the princess of Lingyang for more than three years, at this time she has adapted to the role of a princess, of course, there are many royal children of the same generation, even if she is a princess, she is still a little transparent with a low sense of existence.

In 2020, the first year of high school students in the city held a summer camping practice activity. On the way back, the teacher asked the students to check if all the students in the seats around them had boarded the bus.

As a result, Zhu Wanqing, who had no sense of existence, was actually forgotten by everyone, and others didn't notice that there was such a person at all.

In this way, the bus drove away, and Zhu Wanqing was abandoned in the wilderness.

That night, the heavy rain invaded the basin, the road was slippery, Zhu Wanqing accidentally fell off the cliff, and then woke up dressed as Princess Lingyang of the Ming Dynasty.

Princess Lingyang is the daughter of today's Shengshang and Yao Taishi, that is, the daughter of Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu gave birth to another prince, the seventh in line, called the seventh prince, three years younger than Zhu Wanqing.

Yao Taishi is the third prince in the court, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the power is inclined to the government and the opposition, and he also has great expectations for the seven princes.

Two months ago, Concubine Shu returned to her hometown of Penglai, Shandong Province to pray for the birthday of the saint, and Princess Lingyang and the Seven Princes also accompanied her.

Later, I don't know what happened halfway, and after receiving the secret letter from the princess, Concubine Shu returned to Beijing overnight with the Seven Princes.

Now Zhu Wanqing was ignored again, and Princess Lingyang, the dignified Ming Dynasty, was actually cold in the broken fishing village of Penglai, and it was cold for more than half a month, and no one cared.

In the end, there was really no way, Zhu Wanqing could only take her entourage to return to Beijing by herself.

After the boundary of Langcheng, it is Beizhili, and it is not far from Jingshi.

Zhang Hanwen, the Taishou of Langcheng, is a student of Yao Taishi, and he had a relationship with Zhu Wanqing at the Taishifu family banquet two years ago.

When the convoy arrived at Langcheng, it was late, and according to the law, the city gate was closed and no longer allowed to pass after the unitary.

No matter what Zhu Wanqing's chief of guard explains, the soldiers defending the city are not accommodating, in the past, whoever dares to obstruct the passage of the royal family is looking for death.

"Bold! In the car is the princess of Lingyang, if the princess goes out in the wilderness, ten heads are not enough to cut off. The guard shouted.

"Please forgive me, the princess, the imperial court issued an official document last month, and since the beginning of this month, strict control has been implemented in two capitals and thirteen provinces across the country. The defending sergeant replied.

"Okay, let's go back to the country inn just now for a night's rest, and it's not too late to enter the city tomorrow." Zhu Wanqing asked the chief guard not to embarrass the soldiers defending the city anymore.

"Princess, there are many bandits here, and there has been a famine recently, and civilians have been killed almost every day. The chief of the guard persuaded.

"Yo, Pang Sanbiao, aren't you from martial arts? These dozens of people can't beat the bandits? Ling'er said.

"Ling'er, you...... Her Royal Highness Princess, I think it's better to find a way to inform Governor Zhang. "Pang Sanbiao's idea is good.

"Then do as you say." When Zhu Wanqing heard that there were bandits, she also muttered in her heart.

Pang Sanbiao wrote a letter by hand and tied it to the arrow, "Brother above, there is a letter from Princess Lingyang to Lord Zhang, I hope to convey it." With that, he shot the arrow with a whoosh.

The arrow was driven deep into the pillars of the gatehouse, and it took great effort for the soldiers to get it out.

"Boss, what should I do, is this letter passed on or not?" The soldier asked the captain of the city gate.

The captain of the city gate thought for a moment and said: "Master Yao has instructed Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he didn't mention this Lingyang princess, can you be nosy." ”

"What if Lord Yi finds out and blames him?" The soldiers still had concerns.

"The surname Zhang is a protégé of the Taishi, someone protects him if something happens, let's be a fart, the crime of violating the ban and releasing people without permission is not for you and me to bear the blame in the end." The captain of the city gate took the letter and looked at it.

"Let's do this according to the law, even if he is a hundred dissatisfied in his heart, he can only hold his stomach, if he lets people into the city today, and blames him in the sky, it will be a loss of jobs or even a loss of head. Compared to offending the surname Zhang, which of the two is more important, brother, you won't be able to figure out this account, right? The lieutenant smiled and handed the letter back to the soldier.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, but threw the letter into the brazier beside him.

Pang Sanbiao waited for a long time under the city tower, but there was no response from above.

"Hey, what's the matter with Governor Zhang?" San Biao asked loudly.

"Under the city, retreat quickly! Otherwise, we will deal with it as a homeless bandit. "The soldiers of the city put up their torches and set up their bows and arrows.

"Hey, these grandsons, okay, you have a kind." Seeing this situation, Pang Sanbiao could only return to tell Zhu Wanqing the truth.

Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, if we don't rush back to the country inn as soon as possible, I'm afraid that this group of people will have to sleep in the wild tonight.

The motorcade then turned back and headed for the lonely bright spot hanging over the hill a few miles away.

The lantern outside the inn was hung high, and the name of the store was particularly conspicuous, and Zhu Wanqing got out of the car with the support of Ling'er.

"Shopkeeper, clean up the best rooms, and all the bedding and pillows should be new." Ling'er gave a large ingot of silver to the shopkeeper.

"Yo, this is a distinguished guest, you wait a minute, I will order someone to prepare." The shopkeeper accepted the money and withdrew with a smile.

Zhu Wanqing took off her shawl and sat in the hall looking around.

"Alas, Ling'er, why do you say there are no customers in this inn?" Zhu Wanqing always felt that the atmosphere here was weird.

"It's not been peaceful lately, so there must be fewer people in a hurry." Ling'er didn't pay much attention to it, and made a cup of tea for the princess.

Pang Sanbiao organized a small team of people to guard the princess and went to settle the horses and carriages himself.

About half an hour later, the shopkeeper introduced Zhu Wanqing into the prepared room.

Zhu Wanqing was tired all day, and before the store could bring food, she fell asleep on the bed.

Ling'er waited for her to cover the quilt and let Xiao Er bring the food to the kitchen to be hot, and the young lady would use it at any time when she woke up.

The cold wind outside the house was gusting, and the latched window was crackling, and Ling'er, who was also tired for a day, was napping on the side, but she didn't notice it.

Just after the hour, the downstairs suddenly burst into flames, and the killing shouts frightened Zhu Wanqing and Ling'er at a loss, so they had to hug each other and hide under the table.

Boom!

The door of the room was slammed open, and a man covered in blood came in, and Ling'er couldn't help but scream.

"The princess is me, Sanbiao, come with me." Pang Sanbiao was slashed in the arm and was seriously injured, and he dragged a stump arm to carry Zhu Wanqing and rushed outside.

"Protect the princess! Protect the princess! Several guards gathered around to form a defensive circle.

There were many bandits, and there were less than ten people left in the guards after a while.

"Fence it up!" The bandit leader waved his horsewhip, and Zhu Wanqing and his party were blocked from all their way.

"I am Princess Lingyang, returning to Beijing on the order of today's saint, you are so bold and dare to rob and kill the imperial court guards." Zhu Wanqing knew that it was useless to be afraid, so she simply stood up and said righteously.

"Yo, I'm still a princess, brothers, I haven't tasted a princess in half my life!" Far from being afraid, the bandit leader is becoming more and more arrogant.

"Hahaha~~~~" The people below began to coax.

"This strong man, if I die here today, the mountains within a radius of 100 miles will be swept away by the people and horses of the imperial court, so you might as well sum it up." Zhu Wanqing launched a psychological offensive.

"This year, this month, today, here and now, God knows, you know and I know, who knows where you died?" The bandit leader perfectly interprets the tragic end of a small transparent.

What he said is not wrong at all, I am afraid that I am an invisible princess, and I really have to die here, and it is estimated that it will take several years for anyone to think about it.

Take last year's palace banquet as an example, when my father saw her, he actually asked that this was the lord of the vassal king, who was quite handsome.

"I'm here, and the Governor of Langcheng knows that if Princess Ben is missing, can you thieves get out of the relationship?" Zhu Wanqing had no choice but to make up a nonsense to scare him.

"Yo, this girl knows that dog official, so I can't let you go, tie me up and escort me back to the village!"

"Stop!" As soon as Pang Sanbiao shouted, he fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Zhu Wanqing closed her eyes, thinking that this time she was going to be ruined, dressed as a princess at the beginning of the Pressure Lady Zhai series?

"The thief stopped, and Hugh hurt the princess's life." In the distance, a large group of people was hurrying forward.

"Officers and soldiers are here!" I don't know who shouted, and the rabble scattered and fled.

The bandit leader was annoyed, and wanted to escape with Zhu Wanqing, but Ling'er bit off a piece of meat, and in desperation, he could only snatch a piece of jade from Zhu Wanqing and slip away.

The leader of this rescue team is none other than Zhang Hanwen.

Zhang Hanwen dismounted and came to Zhu Wanqing's side, "Zhang Hanwen, the prefect of Langcheng, is late to save the car, please forgive the princess." ”

"Okay, you Zhang Hanwen, don't let us into the city, and almost kill the princess." Ling'er was full of anger when she saw this person.

"Okay Ling'er, don't talk about it. Lord Zhang, please treat my wounded guards first. Zhu Wanqing was very worried about Pang Sanbiao's injury.

"Yes!" Zhang Hanwen organized personnel to rescue the wounded and personally escorted the princess into the city through the secret passage.

Zhang Hanwen's mansion was far from the grandeur of other prefects, and he ordered someone to clean up a large room for the princess.

Zhu Wanqing and Zhang Hanwen are also old friends, but Zhu Wanqing has been bumpy for a day, and she is so frightened, she is already haggard, so let's talk about it tomorrow if it is too much.
