The night breeze blew softly, the curtains of the small windows turned up and down slightly, the moon was as cool as water, and a team of carriages and horses slowly moved forward on the official road. There are sparse shrubs on both sides of the official road, and the cliffs and mountains in the distance are like knife-cut cliffs, and occasionally a large bird with outstretched wings flies away from the night with a long roar.

The carriage was very spacious, and Gongzi Wei Poppy leaned on the brocade cushion, half-squinting, as if he was asleep. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves approached in the distance, and a trotting sound sounded outside the curtain Kang Ming's voice: "Your Highness, according to the spies' report, there is no one in the five kilometers ahead, and it is not early, do you want to camp here?" ”

Wei Poppy slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Camp." There was a bit of tiredness and caution in his voice.

After several days of rushing and traveling, I would encounter assassins from time to time, but fortunately, there were no dangers, but the old injuries were not healed and new injuries were added, and the body was always a little unbearable. I don't know if I can get a good night's sleep tonight, but as soon as I thought about it, there was a dull sound of running and flying in the bushes in the distance, and there were about a dozen people at an alarming speed.

I only heard the guard shout: "Protect Your Highness." It was the intersection of weapons, the sound of ping-pong fighting, the sound of getting closer and closer to the carriage, Wei Poppy sat up, clenched the long sword in his hand, and was ready to go. As a result of the exertion, the wound on the shoulder began to bleed again. Before Wei Poppy broke out of the carriage, the sound of the fight gradually stopped.

"Your Highness, all the assassins have been annihilated." Cumming's slightly gasping voice sounded outside the car window.

Wei Poppy's expression was relieved, and he lifted the curtain and slowly got out of the carriage with Kang Ming's support, only to see more than a dozen black-clothed people lying on the ground, as well as the corpses of several guards, and some wounded. The grass on the dirt was covered with blood, and it was very miserable.

Wei Poppy looked at the dead guards and said, "Bury them well, settle their families," and then turned to look at the wounded, "Cure them, and you can't give up any of them." "No, my subordinates understand." Kang Ming replied neatly.

A wounded man who was not seriously injured heard Wei Pop's order and was very moved and shouted, "Swear to follow His Highness to the death." The rest of the guards also shouted, "Follow Your Highness to the death." "The sound shook the earth.

Early in the morning, Wei Poppy stood outside the tent, looking at the mist on the horizon in the distance, and a faint touch of peach in the sky. The sun is coming out, and the night is finally over.

Kang Ming came over with a cloak and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the wind is strong in the morning, please take care of your health." After speaking, he draped the blanket on Wei Poppy's body.

Wei Poppy didn't respond, was silent for a while, and asked, "Kang Ming, isn't this place not far from Yunmeng Mountain?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness. However, it will be rerouted to the north. ”

"Isn't it almost the fifth day of the fifth month of May?"

"Yes, five days away."

"Kang Ming, let's go separately from the big army, and in a while, you pick two reliable people and let's go in the direction of Yunmeng Mountain, and the rest of the people and horses continue to walk in the direction of Dadu."

"Your Highness, it's better to go back to Dadu as soon as possible for your injuries to be treated."

"Do you think I'll be able to return to Dadu alive with this frequency of assassinations?" Wei Poppy paused and continued: "Let's go separately, the goals are scattered, it's good to take a breath, and in a few days it will be the competition of Yunmeng Mountain, let's go and see what kind of genius will fall from the sky, and whether it can be used by us." Wei Poppy said a little too much in one breath, coughed, and his face instantly turned red.

Kang Ming hurriedly stepped forward and came over to help him and help him get ready. Wei Poppy waved his hand, and when he looked up, he saw a round of red sun about to erupt from the horizon, and the fiery red glow stained the surrounding clouds and the earth under his feet. Both of them were stunned and forgot about coughing. Wei Poppy's heart was agitated for a while, and his ambition was indescribable.

On the official road, the eldest prince's convoy set off slowly, and the carriages and horses passed by and brought up billowing dust and smoke. No one noticed that there were two guards behind the team and quietly detoured towards Yunmeng Mountain.

"Kang Ming, how long does it take to get from here to Yunmeng Mountain?" The horses were fast, and the wind blew the sleeves of the deep coat like puffed sails. The fierce wind cut the sound into pieces.

"Back to Your Highness, it will take about two days." Kang Ming gently clamped the horse's belly and chased back a few steps, but he still missed a position.

"Try to find a place to shoot at night." Wei Poppy's face, which was pale because of the injury, is now much more rosy because of the exercise. The handsome cheeks are no longer pale like paper, and the whole person looks energetic and energetic, like an eagle flying out of a cage, stretching its wings.

Kang Ming's originally hanging heart gradually let go, perhaps this would be more conducive to His Highness's recuperation, so he replied loudly: "No, Your Highness." He followed closely behind Wei Poppy.

After a day's walk, in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and the sun gradually sank from the western horizon, leaving only a blush of red. Just when I walked to a densely wooded road, the forest was darkened early.

"Kangming, how long will it take?" After a day's journey, his voice was already a little hoarse.

"Your Highness, walk through this section of woods, and there will be a sharp spot ahead." Kang Ming watched the forest vigilantly, as a secret guard's intuition, he always felt that there was danger around him. "Your Highness, this road is a little unusual, so be careful."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of weapons intersecting sounded in front of him, followed by a woman's scream. "Your Highness, be careful."

Kang Ming rode his horse to Wei Poppy's side, the two tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped reluctantly. The two quickly dismounted and tied their horses to the trees. Quietly run forward along the bushes.

In front of you, in the open field, a few rough men in short brown shirts fought and shouted, leaving the money to spare your lives. A few guard-like people were obviously overwhelmed, fighting and retreating. There was a woman's scream in the carriage behind.

Wei Poppy saw that it was a mountain bandit robbing the road, and immediately flew forward and kicked a mountain bandit who had already hit the side of the carriage. The mountain bandit staggered back a few steps, and said viciously: "I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, my Ma Ye wants to intercept the Tao and has not been able to intercept it." ”

Wei Poppy's handsome face smiled evilly, "Coincidentally, there is no one I want to save that Wei Ye can't save." The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted to reveal a light purple brocade sleeve embroidered with moire decoration on the cuffs.

The two stopped talking nonsense, and started without saying a word, and Kang Ming fought with the remaining bandits with one enemy and ten. Wei Poppy drew his sword and stabbed at the bandit leader with an oblique stab. Not to be outdone, the bandit leader avoided the blade with a barbed gold hook, and then turned around and slashed straight at the big sword. Wei Poppy swept back, jumped again, and kicked the bandit leader in the chest. The leader of the bandits staggered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Wei Poppy once again put his sword across the neck of the bandit leader.

"Master Wei, I'm in a good mood today, and I don't want to kill people. Get out of here with your guys. Wei Poppy said in a deep voice. As soon as the bandit leader saw that the general situation was gone, he quickly withdrew with a few of his men.

At this time, a little maid got down from the carriage, and the frightened look on her face had not faded, and she turned around and moved off her pedals to help the people in the carriage.

A young woman wearing a light purple hem cuff and a white moire wide-sleeved gown with a light purple hem cuff got out of the car, with an elegant look and a dignified face, with a hint of charm in the cold. Plain makeup and light appearance can't hide the peerless appearance.

I only heard the woman whisper slowly and slowly: "Thank you Gongzi for the rescue." Even Wei Poppy, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, was stunned for a moment, and then replied politely: "Girl don't have to be polite, when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help." Wei Poppy deliberately learned the words of the people in the rivers and lakes.

The woman in purple bowed, "Chivalrous and chivalrous, the little woman has nothing to repay." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wei Poppy said humbly.

"I wonder where the knight is going?" The woman in purple asked with some embarrassment.

"I'm heading to Yunmeng Mountain."

"The little girl is also going there to find relatives, I don't know if I can go with my son, this world is not peaceful, and I don't know if I will meet bandits." Speaking of a pair of misty eyes, I saw pity.

Seeing this, Wei Poppy couldn't refuse, thinking that he could hide his identity, so he nodded in agreement.

A few people re-embarked on the road, and when the moon was on the branches, a few people finally saw the city, which is located more than 100 kilometers southeast of Yunmeng Town, and is called Daliang.

After entering the city gate, the little girl lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling market, and the bustling crowd said excitedly: "Miss, it's so lively here." The tension along the way vanished.

A few people settled down at the inn. Originally, Wei Poppy wanted to go out by himself, but he pushed open the door and saw the woman in purple coming over with a plate of snacks. "I have some dim sum from my hometown, so I can eat some mats first. Childe is going out? The woman in purple asked softly, a little shyly.

"Thank you girl, I'm going to go out and find something to eat." Wei Poppy replied politely.

"I'm also thinking about going out for some hot meals, why don't we go along?" A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Wei Poppy eagerly. Seeing that Wei Poppy couldn't refuse, he had to say, "It's okay." "Childe, wait a moment, I'll call Caixia." The woman in purple answered happily.

It was another four-person group, Wei Poppy and the woman in purple walked out of the inn together, and Kang Ming and Caixia were a few steps behind. "Little girl Yingman, I don't know if the son can tell the name, he will repay the son's life-saving grace in the future." After speaking, Ying Man looked at Wei Poppy expectantly.

Wei Poppy hesitated slightly, "The girl doesn't have to take it to heart." In the lower Wei Xun. "This trip was originally to find a wish, so let's take it as a name.

The streets are full of lights, fireworks, crowds of people, hawkers, and the noise of the crowd.

"Why is it so lively?" Wei Poppy turned his head and asked Kang Ming.

"It's usually very lively here, and it's especially lively when the Duanyang Festival is approaching these two days." Kang Ming replied respectfully.

Yingman glanced at Kang Ming meaningfully. Wei Poppy didn't pay attention to Ying Man's eyes, and looked at this lively scene and sighed: "It's really a prosperous and prosperous world!" ”

Small Theatre:

After King Wei Hui moved the capital to Daliang, one day Kang Ming asked Wang: "Wang, did you take a fancy to Daliang the first time you went to it?" King Wei Hui squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The queen happened to pass by and asked, "Who do you like?" ”

Kang Ming immediately showed a standard smile: "The minister still has official business." After saying that, he walked away decisively......

I only heard the queen behind her cry and asked, "Your Majesty, who do you say you have taken a fancy to?" ”

King Hui was speechless and choked, thinking, "Good boy, you wait!" ”
