Chapter Seventy-One: Not Doing Proper Business
The Yunlan Kingdom was a small border country bordering the southern border of the Great Xia Kingdom. After the Great Xia Kingdom unified the Central Plains, the Yunlan Kingdom recognized the situation and knew that its power was weak, so it had always bowed down to the Great Xia Kingdom and paid tribute every year.
And Jing Haoyang, the most beautiful man in the world, is the prince of this Yunlan country.
Ye Lan'er felt a little strange: "You are the prince of a country, why did you appear in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom and be hunted down?" ”
Jing Haoyang clasped his hands in front of his chest: "Naturally, someone is jealous of my beauty......"
"Speak human words!"
Jing Hao Yang smiled, stretched out his index finger and picked Ye Lan'er's chin: "After you put on this mask, you are actually a handsome young offspring, and it is suitable for me to be the most beautiful man in the world." ”
Ye Lan'er opened his hand: "I thought I had found a big money owner, and I could follow you to eat and drink spicy food, but I didn't expect it to be a * annoyance, don't put your head on your trouser belt!" I wonder how I Ye Lan'er met this kind of man, it's really unlucky! ”
Jing Haoyang: "I don't like to hear this." How can I also be the prince of a country, the most beautiful man in the world, don't you feel the glory and dignity that follows me? ”
"Shut up! What exactly are you in trouble with? ”
Jing Haoyang touched his nose and walked around the guest room, I don't know why, he was very tolerant of Ye Lan'er's rudeness, and he felt a little willing.
Stopping, he sat on Ye Lan'er's bed: "I told you, you have to be responsible for me." ”
"Say!"
"My father sent a letter to Emperor Xia Xian, saying that he intended to send me to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom to marry a princess, marry two surnames, and ask for peace for generations.
Emperor Xia Xian replied to the messenger and said that it was okay and feasible. The ten princesses of my family are as beautiful as flowers, virtuous and virtuous, and can marry your prince.
Then I took the people on the road. ”
"And then?"
"I found out when I hit the road. The previous envoy was killed on the way before he even reached the Great Xia Kingdom. The rest of the series is just someone fake the news. The purpose is to lead me on the way, to get rid of me.
This king came out with dozens of good hands, and in the end, I was the only one left. You say, miserable or not? ”
Ye Lan'er nodded, it was quite miserable.
"So what now? Returning to Yunlan Country? ”
Jing Haoyang shook his head: "No, who am I, Jing Haoyang?" I have never suffered such a secret loss since I was a child! Not to mention that the way back is full of traps and ambushes, even if the road is smooth, I will not go back! ”
Ye Lan'er looked at Jing Haoyang's stubborn expression, and for the first time felt that he was quite cute: "Then you are the prince of a country, and you are out, in case you ......"
"I'm going to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom. According to the original plan, he asked to marry the princess. Jing Hao Yang smiled slyly.
Ye Lan'er understood.
As long as Jing Haoyang pretended that nothing happened in the middle, he met Emperor Xia Xian to ask for it in person and marry a princess. This princess will be his talisman.
It's just that......
"I don't want to go back to the capital...... Ye Lan'er said.
Jing Haoyang shook his head and ignored her opinion: "It's not a question of whether you want to or not, my servant. ”
The two rested at the town's hotel for two days and set off on their way again.
At this time, Jing Haoyang didn't dare to be stinky anymore, and also pasted a human skin mask on his face, and he also had a big beard.
He rode on his horse and said to Ye Lan'er, "Why don't we change to that kind of mask to cover your face?" I am the master who brought a piece of gold, and yours, the one of low status, brought a piece of silver. ”
When Ye Lan'er heard this, she couldn't help but think of the old man who was the valley master of the Evil King Valley.
She found that this prince of Yunlan Kingdom was really similar to the old guy Xing Tian, who spoke and acted virtuously, and was particularly unreliable and slapped in the face.
"Childe! You're being hunted! Do you want to wear a golden mask and pass away! ”
Jing Haoyang nodded: "It's also ......"
The two of them had a conversation or not, and Jing Haoyang also took care of Ye Lan'er in a somewhat gentlemanly manner, and dismounted from time to time to stop to rest, so he was very tired from time to time.
It's just that in such a hurry, there is no consciousness of the evacuees at all.
After walking for a while, Jing Haoyang said: "Hey, I heard that every fifteenth, these small cities in the Great Xia Kingdom will hold temple fairs, the scene is lively, and there are delicious food. Let's take a shortcut into the city and have a look, shall we? ”
Ye Lan'er was almost drunk.
This is clearly not a refugee, but a summer road trip.
But after all, she is a follower who has to listen to Jing Haoyang, and she doesn't want to return to the capital so soon.
Because after going back, it is inevitable to see Murong Ke.
Ye Lan'er didn't want to see him.
He lost it for so long, and he obviously left him a letter, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't even spread half of it to look for himself.
Ye Lan'er was angry.
Thinking about what he had done to him in the cave before, Ye Lan'er was even more angry, thinking that Murong Ke was just treating himself as a plaything that could be manipulated casually, and he didn't want to be the kind of person who liked him with sincerity.
Ye Lan'er was ashamed of the unrealistic fantasies she had before, and was afraid that once she saw him, she would heal her scars and forget the pain, and she would do something shameful.
The two turned their horses' heads, deviated from the direction of going to the capital, and headed for a small city called Yucheng.
But by the time they arrived, the peak of the temple fair had already ended.
The small merchants and hawkers began to close their stalls, and even the owners of the roadside food stalls were a little uninterested when they saw Ye Lan'er and Jing Haoyang.
The two of them each asked for a bowl of small wontons, sat down at the greasy wooden table and ate it.
This taste is a hundred times stronger than the bread you gnaw along the way.
Ye Lan'er saw that Jing Haoyang did not go to a luxurious restaurant, but chose this kind of roadside stall with a bowl of three pennies, and said that he was quite thrifty, and he should not be a bastard prince like Shenma "Why not eat minced meat".
Speaking of money, Ye Lan'er felt another throbbing pain in her heart: "Son, the purse you put money in is not afraid of water?" How is this done? ”
Jing Haoyang swallowed the food in his mouth and criticized mercilessly: "It's lined with a layer of oilcloth, you idiot." ”
"Tarpaulin? What's that? Ye Lan'er has become accustomed to Jing Haoyang's various sarcasm about herself.
"It's just ordinary cotton cloth, brushed with cooked tung oil a few times, and it can be waterproof. Why, I still feel sorry for your silver tickets? To tell you the truth, it's the first time in my life I've seen someone as greedy for money as you. At that time, you saw those silver tickets turned into a pile like, and that expression was like a dead father, which shocked me a lot, and I thought you were crazy all of a sudden. ”
"Childe! Eat! What kind of is not! ”
Jing Haoyang stretched out his hand and flicked Ye Lan'er's head: "Eat!" Don't say something so disgusting! ”
Ye Lan'er reached out and rubbed the top of her head, angry.
Who started first, and why hit me!
Could it be that being a slave in this era is such a treatment!
She slapped the wooden chopsticks on the table, hugged her chest and ignored Jing Haoyang, and turned her head to look at the street scene.
Jing Hao Yang sucked and ate, the clothes he was wearing were extremely ordinary materials, and his hair was tied up in a decent manner, the key was that the original demon face of the country and the city was covered by an ordinary human skin mask, and he also added a beard, which didn't look like a dragon or a phoenix grandson at all, but a full market citizen.
He saw Ye Lan'er have half a bowl of wontons left, and said, "You don't eat it, do you?"
Ye Lan'er was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue.
"What are you doing, that's what I'm left of!"
"I bought it!"
Ye Lan'er rolled her eyes: "I didn't mean that." I mean, there's my saliva on it! ”
Jing Haoyang also rolled his eyes: "It sounds disgusting, but waste is shameful, and I don't like waste even more in comparison." ”
With that, he lowered his head and continued to suck and eat.
Ye Lan'er's scalp was numb: "Childe, you won't take a fancy to me, right?" It was like love at first sight for me or something. You know, in our hometown, a man is only keen to eat a woman's leftovers when he likes her. I advise you, don't fall in love with me, you can't afford to fall in love with me. ”
Jing Hao Yang choked for a moment, and immediately retorted: "I'm bah! There is no hunger everywhere in your hometown, and there are no fathers and mothers who sell their children because they are hungry, right? It's a shame to be wasted, you don't understand! ”
After that, he took another big sip of soup, stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side in front of Ye Lan'er: "Don't be obscene and I like you, once you are obscene, you will think more, once you think too much, you will fall in love with me, and you can't afford to pay the price of falling in love with me." ”
Ye Lan'er knelt down.
After eating the wontons, Jing Haoyang took Ye Lan'er to find an inn and settle down.
Then one after the other, wandered around in this small Yucheng.
Ye Lan'er followed behind him with low eyebrows, and while looking at the scenery, she secretly scolded him in her heart for not doing his job.
When they were swaying until it was almost dark, Jing Haoyang pulled her into an ordinary house.
As soon as they stepped through the door, the four big men in the courtyard immediately knelt on the ground: "See the prince!" ”
Jing Haoyang completely lost the excellent wandering that he had gone shopping before, with a solemn face, and strode to the inner hall.
In the inner hall, there are three coffins side by side.
Jing Haoyang slapped his palm on the coffin lid: "What about the rest?" ”
The four big men who followed in were silent for a while, and finally the leader replied loudly: "I'm afraid, there are no bones left......
"Xiao Qian, that old thief, is ruthless enough!"
Xiao Qian, the first assistant of Yunlan Kingdom, Xiao Guifei's elder brother, and the uncle of the Six Princes, has always been committed to eradicating himself, the crown prince who was canonized at birth, and supporting the Six Princes.
It turned out that when Jing Haoyang was ordered to go to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom to greet his relatives, he had already sensed the slightest hint of conspiracy. So after leaving the city, he set up suspicious soldiers, pretended to be his own subordinates, divided into six teams and wanted to march to the capital at the same time. Make an appointment that no matter what the situation, be sure to wait for yourself to meet here.
Now, not only have all their men and horses been killed, but the other five teams have only four living people and three corpses left.
Jing Haoyang took a seat in the hall and pondered for a moment: "On Friday, it is really not easy for the four of you to escape death. Now, the road back to Cloud City must have been blocked like an iron bucket, Xiao Qian must have arranged a lot of people to prevent me from going back.
I want you to go back and report the news, do you dare or don't dare?
This trip is dangerous, and I will not force you. ”
On Friday, the four of them knelt on the ground: "Our lives were given by the prince!" Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire at the disposal of the prince! ”
Jing Haoyang said: "Okay! You guys find a way to deliver the message to Cloud City. Be sure to let Wei Sikong know about Xiao Qian's conspiracy and take countermeasures! ”
"I am willing to smear the prince's liver and brain!"
"Bury these three brothers. If you are ordered to meet me one day, it is needless to say that you will be promoted to the rank of knight, and if you are unfortunate and have been murdered, I will treat your family well. ”
"I am willing to smear the prince's liver and brain!"
