Chapter 413: Vinegar Jar
Everyone followed the path straight to the border between the barbarians and Daliang, and the border city was a prosperous town called "Wucheng", where most of the barbarian royal families were said to have been stationed, so the city was particularly prosperous.
This time, Chu Nian and the others were dressed up quite low-key, and it might not be good to meet one or two Da Liang people when they were in Rucheng, after all, the war between the two countries was not on the border between Western Chu and the barbarians, but at the moment, this Wucheng was the border between Da Liang and the barbarians, and it was inevitable that there were many barbarian soldiers and generals stationed.
Therefore, Chu Nian and the others on this trip were dressed more like barbarians, although they couldn't speak the barbarian language, but fortunately, there were more Chinese speakers in Wucheng, and there were Xia Zi's father and daughter around them as translators, so no one was suspicious.
But when Chu Nian and his party wanted to get out of the customs, they were told that Wucheng was being closed for three days, and no one could get out of the city...... Could it be that there are monsters here, too?
At this stall, Dark San saw the portraits of Chu Nian and Ming Xiu on the notice posted on the side of the road, and did not forget to point it out to Chu Nian and Ming Xiu with an excited face, until the two of them read the handwriting on the notice, and their faces sank.
"When this Daliang woman passed through Rucheng, she kidnapped the husband of the daughter of the city lord of Rucheng? Interesting! β
Hearing a whisper from beside him, Chu Nian's face was fine, but Ming Xiu's face became more and more ugly, he had a gloomy and handsome face, and his eyes swept over the lifelike portrait of himself on the notice, and there were several big characters under the portrait: Rucheng City Lord's daughter-in-law.
Chu Nian couldn't help laughing, she thought that if the city lord of Wu found out that he had taken away the ice water clothes he kept on his behalf, she would have to post an eye-catching notice, but now she was just looking for a son-in-law for her daughter, thinking that he didn't dare to let the person behind him know that the ice water clothes had been stolen, so he pulled Wu Shila to take the blame, it seems that this city lord is not so straw bale as he looks.
"What now?" Chu Nian held back a smile and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, "If you can't get out of the city, we are wanted again." β
Ming Xiu's face was still gloomy, he turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and then withdrew his gaze, which seemed to have a little ...... in his eyes Hidden bitterness? Chu Nian pursed his red lips tightly and looked at the man with a frown, as if he thought for a while, he saw the man's thin lips and said lightly: "Find a place to live first, and then talk about it tomorrow." β
After that, he turned around and walked towards the corner of the street, and the rest of the people looked at each other for a while, looking at the lonely back of their master, all of them wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and in the end, Chu Nian had to sigh and hurriedly chased after him.
By the time everyone caught up, Ming Xiu had already walked into an inn on the corner of the street, saying something expressionlessly, while the shopkeeper standing opposite him was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, this guest officer, the shop is already full."
Seeing that the cold air on Ming Xiu's body was getting more and more, Chu Nian hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Ming Xiu, facing the shopkeeper, frowning and saying, "Is there no one?" β
The shopkeeper saw that Chu Nian seemed to be a little easier to talk to, and his originally nervous face was only relieved a little, so he replied: "There is really no one, there are big families in the city who want to marry these days, and most of the inns are already full." β
This is indeed the case, when Chu Nian raised his eyes, he saw a lot of rich sons and young ladies walking down the stairs, talking and laughing towards the door, thinking that the second child in this store had not lied.
But the inn is full, where do they stay today?
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Hey, it's you!" You can also meet here, we really have fate! β
Chu Nian and Ming Xiu frowned and turned around, and saw that the dark three and they were blocked at the door, and what blocked them was a thin and tall figure, at this moment he was gently shaking the folding fan, and he looked extremely personable in a plain green robe.
"I thought I would never see you again, and since that day we met, I have been thinking about you in my heart......"
The side of his body seemed to have begun to freeze, Chu Nian's face stiffened, and he quickly reached out and pinched the big palm on his side, and then turned his eyes to look over with concern, and sure enough, the face of this vinegar jar was about to turn purple.
Finally, when Ming Xiu's complexion finally eased a little, Chu Nian raised his eyes to look at the black dust opposite, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I actually met the son of the world here." β
I don't know if this person still remembers the last time he was trapped in the mountains with illusion, but right now this person is obviously quite happy.
Seeing him take a few steps forward, he didn't seem to feel the hostility of a man and a woman in front of him, and said cordially: "You are also here to stay in the hotel?" It's really a coincidence, earlier, all the inns in this city were chartered by our family. β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, is it an inn chartered by the Prince's Mansion? At this stall, without waiting for Chu Nian to ask his questions, he saw the man muttering while thinking: "It's my brother who is going to marry, and he is also married to a young lady from a big family, and there are many people who come from the royal city to celebrate, so our family has to charter the inn in the entire city, which may not be enough." β
Hearing this, Chu Nian glanced at the shopkeeper beside him as if he was inquiring, and saw that the shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it is the inn that the prince's family has a happy event for, and the prince himself came to charter the inn." β
When these words fell, I saw Chu Nian and Ming Xiu frowning in unison, the black dust in front of him ignored Ming Xiu, saw the beauty frowning, and immediately flattered: "If you don't mind, you can live in my house, and on the day of my brother's wedding, you can still follow the excitement, by the way......" He squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Nian, "Your barbarian service today is much better than your tattered Daliang clothes that day, it is better for you to marry a barbarian in the future, wear beautiful clothes every day, don't wear that tattered Daliang costume again." β
I don't know if this Wuchen is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, in short, Chu Nian felt the murderous gaze coming from his side, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, so he hurriedly refused: "No need, thank you for the enthusiasm of the prince, the little girl still lives with friends, no matter if she sleeps in the suburbs." β
Hearing this, Wuchen's face was suddenly full of grievances, "Oh, how can the little lady be so ruthless, so we also have that night's friendship." β
This made Chu Nian saliva stuck in his throat, only to feel that the murderous aura on his side was heavier, and the secret guards at the door were already trembling, and at this time, only the person continued to speak as if he was unconscious...... I suddenly felt so comfortable all over my body......"
As he spoke, a strange happy smile appeared on Wuchen's delicate face, and Chu Nian was so frightened that he heard Ming Xiu's cold voice behind him.
"Bullying? Comfortable? β
Chu Nian felt that one head was two big, she glared at Wuchen fiercely, and got a cheap smile from Wuchen, Chu Nian realized that this kid was actually playing with her, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and he was angry in his heart, but now it was obvious that they couldn't afford to offend the son of the barbarian prince in front of them.
At the end, Chu Nian had to breathe a sigh of relief, took the hand of Ming Xiu beside him, and let the figure of Guo Wuchen walk towards the door, "The son of the world stays, and there will be no time in the future." β
"Hey, heyβ" Seeing Chu Nian's resolute back, Wuchen said as if he was aggrieved: "There is a chance to learn illusion again, your illusion is too real, I ......"
The second half of his sentence was blocked by a pair of cold eyes, which seemed to be inhabited by two man-eating beasts, and if he spat out one more word, the monster in that man's eyes would surely come out of those narrow eyes and swallow him in one gulp.
When those eyes were withdrawn, Wuchen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and saw that the group of people walked away, and Wuchen, who stayed in place, stared at a pair of black eyes, and after a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, his thin lips hooked a touch of arc, and he said softly: "It's a little interesting." β
β¦β¦
It was already evening when Chu Nian and the others returned to the carriage parked on the outskirts of the city, and the group asked many inns along the way, but they really couldn't even vacate a room, but fortunately, the carriage was still big enough, and the secret guards were not afraid of sleeping outside when they were used to squatting outside, and as for the carriage, the four people could still squeeze it down.
For a whole day, Ming Xiu's complexion had not recovered, Chu Nian raised his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.
At this stall, Xia Zi's father and daughter had already been accompanied by the secret guards to find food, and only Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were left in the carriage. Ming Xiu, who had a stiff face, looked at the little man who was smiling opposite, and couldn't help but say with a serious face: "What are you laughing at?" β
Chu Nian covered his mouth and covered his stomach and laughed for a while, before wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and laughing: "Your Highness is angry with your courtiers?" β
Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips, undeniable, at this point, he saw Chu Nian's pair of inquiring eyes approaching, and when the distance between the two faces was only two fingers wide, he saw the ruddy little mouth and said lightly: "Or is Your Highness jealous?" β
When these words fell, the air seemed to be stagnant, and Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw the thin lips of the person above, and said lightly: "Hmm." β
I didn't expect Chu Nian to admit it so happily, Chu Nian widened his eyes with some surprise, and then his arm was grabbed and hugged into a solid embrace.
Ming Xiu put his chin against the little fluffy head, sighed, and said, "What was the illusion you gave that kid last night?" β
Chu Nian's face was stunned, and he immediately reacted that it was Wuchen's sentence of "learning illusions" that made Ming Xiu feel more hearted, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and then helplessly raised his eyes to look at those narrow eyes, slightly hooked his red lips and said innocently: "The illusion I gave him is not as dirty as His Highness thinks, I just let him fall into the memories of his eighteen years of life for a while, who would have thought that he would talk so nonsense, making His Highness worried, it is the fault of the courtiers." β
Seeing her sincere face, Ming Xiu's complexion finally improved a little, and he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just worried that you are being remembered by the gangsters, and that kid doesn't look like a good person." β
At the end, he added, "Even better than ...... Tao Jinyan is more than that. β
Hearing Ming Xiu mention Tao Jinyan, Chu Nian remembered that they had been coming to Xichu for a while, and they had stayed in the barbarian realm for seven days, and they hadn't seen Tao Jinyan for almost a month, and at this moment she had a little ominous premonition in her heart.
At this stall, the red lips said lightly: "I don't know what Tao Jinyan is doing now." β
