Chapter 13: Perils 1

"Little Peach, let's go." Xiao Tao nodded and flew away from the other side of the valley road with Yu Yao.

"Fortunately, the people sent by Elder Lu arrived in time." Yu Yao nodded in response, and after seeing that everything was safe, Xiao Tao took out the map from the package, looked for it in the map, and then pointed to the map and said, "Miss, there is a river in front of us, and we can return to our original planned route after crossing the river."

"Is there a bridge nearby?" Yu Yao asked.

"There is no bridge nearby, but there is a pony head in front of it, and there should be a boat there." Xiao Tao looked at the map and replied.

"Let's go, let's see if there are any farmhouses nearby, change your clothes, this dress is too ostentatious." Yu Yao saw that she was inconvenienced by her young lady dress, and Xiao Tao followed Yu Yao over after responding.

In the palace of Yijing City, Nan Chengxiao's guard of honor stopped outside the gate of Fu'an Palace, he stepped down from the sedan chair and was about to enter Fu'an Palace, when a eunuch ran from behind and said to Nan Chengxiao: "Your Majesty, Zuo Yushi Fu sent someone to report something."

Nan Chengxiao, who was about to enter Fu'an Palace, stopped, looked at the palace door that was still closed in front of him, and said lightly, "Go back to the imperial study." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zuo Yushi's recital." A guard in the middle hall of the imperial study presented an excerpt to Nan Chengxiao who was sitting in the imperial case, and Xu Yanqing, the chief eunuch standing next to the imperial case, walked quickly to the middle hall to take the excerpt, and then walked to the side of the imperial case and handed it to Nan Chengxiao, Nan Chengxiao took the excerpt, raised his head and raised his right hand to signal the guards in the middle hall to retreat.

"The minions are gone." The guard finished speaking and exited the imperial study.

Nan Chengxiao opened the fold and wrote, 'The palace master of the Jade Dragon Palace haunts the area from Mujiaoyi to the Ganges River in Wuzhou. Nan Chengxiao then said: "Does she want to go north by water?"

"Your Majesty, this remnant has not been extinguished, and many warlocks and people are ......spreading it among the people," the chief eunuch didn't dare to say anything halfway through.

"What's being preached? Go on. The puzzled expression became serious.

"Your Majesty, those words are all rebellious words, no one dares to be strict with the emperor, even if the slave gives up this old life, he must confess it to the emperor." Xu Yanqing threw himself on his knees and shouted with his head on the ground.

"Manager Xu, get up and talk back, I forgive you for your innocence."

"The slave Xie Emperor, the slave doesn't dare." Xu Qing didn't dare to get up, he still knelt on the ground and raised his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the folk warlocks are all spreading that 'the emperor is here, and the world is about to be in chaos'." ”

"Presumptuous." Nan Chengxiao was furious and smashed the teacup on the imperial table not far from Xu Qing, Xu Qing's head was so frightened that he fell to the ground and trembled, Nan Chengxiao muttered to himself: "The emperor is now?" The Imperial Maiden? ”

"Miss, there's really a boat in front of you." Yu Yao and Xiao Tao dressed as women and men and walked to the river.

A boatman wearing a hat and cloak and holding oars on the string of a small boat, saw two women disguised as men coming, the boatman did not say anything and got up to greet him, "Where are the two sons going?" ”

"Boatman, send us across the river." After Xiao Tao finished speaking, he took out a tael of silver and handed it to the boatman.

"Okay, the two sons are careful to get on the boat." The boatman said after sliding the broken silver in his hand.

After the two of them got on the boat and sat down, the boatman put away the rope and swayed slowly in the water with the oars, and the boat slowly swam towards the center of the river, and the boat stopped when it reached the center of the river.

"Boatman, why did you park the ship here?" Xiao Tao got up and asked the boatman dissatisfied.

"Oh, if the two little ladies want to go to the other side, hand over all the valuable things, and the old man will send you across the river." The boatman threatened.

"You... Aren't you robbing openly? "Can he see that Yu Yao and Xiao Tao are daughters? Xiao Tao suddenly drew his sword and scolded: "You'd better send us across the river, otherwise be careful of your dog's life."

"Since you won't hand over anything of value, swim over yourself!" The two girls looked weak and weak, but they did not look afraid at all, and after the boatman finished speaking, he threw the oars into the river and jumped into the river and fled.

"Huh! You..."Xiao Tao put away her sword at a loss, and asked Yu Yao again, "Miss, we don't know water, what should we do?" ”。
