Chapter 61: The City Gate Turmoil
Chen's loft.
There is no light in the depths, only the light comes in through the narrow windows.
The old man had become even paler from not seeing sunlight for many years, and the back of his hands was full of green tendons.
His face was deeply wrinkled, his beard was white, and his eyes were dull and lifeless, sunken deep in his sockets.
"Lord Bing, Jiang Yunyu has come to Luojing." A man dressed in black knelt on the ground to give a report, his voice was so rough that his throat felt like sand and gravel.
Chen Chumo narrowed his eyes, and the lines on his face were more dense, which was the kind of physiognomy that could "stop children crying at night".
"Oh? That Jiang Zhu's daughter? How is she as restless as her dad? He spoke slowly, with great difficulty, and every word dragged on so long that even those who listened were worried that they would soon be out of breath.
Knock, knock......
Chen Chumo gently tapped the solid wood table top with his knuckles, making a dull sound.
His wrists were distinctly jointed, just a thin layer of sallow skin wrapped around the ribbed bones.
"Well, let's keep her for now, after all, she is the prince's person, and now, she can't move."
Xue Lian didn't dare to look up at his master, he knelt on the ground, even though the stove baked the room warm like spring, he couldn't stop the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Chen Chu was cautious, even if he knew that Jiang Zhu's daughter was powerless to pose any threat to him now, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and he was on guard everywhere, he ordered: "Let people watch her every move." ”
"Yes."
Xue Lian received the order, and when he saw the old man showing tiredness, he leaned back in the chair extremely tiredly, he knew that he had stayed long enough.
So Chen Chumo was the only one left in the attic, and his expression was obscure in the firelight.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Chumo really feels that he is old, he doesn't even feel that his brain is as flexible as when he was young, and in the face of the messy appearance, he can't even peel back the cocoon and follow the clues to find out the truth of the matter.
What is this girl here for?
The mountain road is difficult and tortuous, and Jiang Yunyu arrived in Luojing on the second day.
The gates seem to be heavily guarded, and the guards are vicious.
There was a long queue on one side, and everyone sighed.
Their luggage was all opened, and they were exposed to the public.
What is this doing?
Soon it was their turn, and the guards were not polite to them, and drank haughtily: "What's in the car!" ”
An officer and soldier ordered them to dismount and yelled at them viciously.
Jiang Yunyu was in the carriage, and was shocked by his loud voice, she was very displeased, and her brows frowned slightly.
She didn't remember that there was such a rule in the past, but when she entered a city, where did she come from?
When they entered Beijing in their previous lives, the guards didn't look at them at all, and let them pass very casually.
Originally, she was upset thinking that the distance was getting closer, but now she is even more impatient.
"What are you doing in a daze, the movement inside, deaf?" The officer and soldier defending the city raised his voice and spat out words without mercy.
Jiang Yunyu and the people hired to drive the car were already trembling, nodding at the officers and soldiers.
But the three of them did not move at all, and sat like a mountain.
When the guard saw that they were not moving, he was about to come forward and lift the curtain with a look of anger.
With each step, the ground trembled slightly.
Jiang Yunyu heard his footsteps and forcibly held back the displeasure in her heart: "Yu Leak, you go and talk to them." ”
Yu Leak is a person who has seen a big scene with His Royal Highness the Prince, so she naturally doesn't take the threat of these people in her eyes, listening to this person's footsteps, it seems that she is also a practitioner, but compared to herself, it is far worse.
Nothing.
When the officers and soldiers saw the jade leak who jumped down from the carriage lightly, they were stunned at first: he had never seen such a good-looking girl!
Look at that face, that waist, it's really hard to take your eyes off.
The officers and soldiers present and the people who entered and left the city were all breathless, and they remembered low exclamations and laughter that were not bad intentions.
Yu Leak forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, noticed the change in the eyes of the officers and soldiers defending the city, and flew coldly.
The strong man who walked towards them was shocked by this look, and he couldn't even speak: "You...... You guys...... What a person! ”
Where did the woman come from, she could have such a fierce momentum, he even felt that in the next second, she would pull out a knife and put it on his neck.
Yu Leak's tone was unexpectedly calm, "Our young lady is weak, so it is inconvenient to get out of the car, and it is also troublesome for several officials to be accommodating." She lowered her head, "Look, we weak women don't look like villains, do we?" ”
Although this woman is awe-inspiring, she doesn't look like a fierce character, and she also said that there should be no problem with a few women......
"What are you rubbing?"
This officer and soldier were thinking like this, and from the city gate came another lean guard, like a small leader in this group, it turned out that when he saw the strange face of the big man with a tiger's back, he instantly knew what this guy was thinking.
Zhao ...... Brother Zhao, this may be a young lady from which family, they said that it was inconvenient to get out of the car. The man before said hesitantly, his face flushed, "Or...... Or...... Forget it......"
Brother Zhao was furious: "You fucking ate the gall of an ambitious leopard?" Don't see a woman and can't walk, this is an order from above, who will bear the responsibility if something happens? You? He nodded the man's forehead viciously, "Waste thing, get out of the way." ”
The scolded man stepped aside in frustration and stared down at his feet.
Jiang Yunyu listened to the call inside, and became more and more puzzled: Who does "above" refer to? Why would he do that? Also, are the guards of the capital so arrogant and unsightly? Who is in charge of the Imperial Guards defending the city......
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and even began to have a headache, which was entangled in his thoughts, and a name gradually appeared in her mind, but she couldn't think of who it was...... At this time, she realized that she had nothing to do with the Imperial Forest Army in the capital in her previous life! She's never been involved in anything about the Guards!
How could she know that!
A voice came from outside the carriage, this time it was much more polite than the previous one, presumably guessing which big family she was, and she had to restrain herself.
The person who was called Brother Zhao urged outside: "This young lady, please get off the bus, we are ordered to strictly check every passing person." ”
Denon was also a little anxious inside, and she wanted to go down and negotiate with them herself. It's just that her own lady didn't give any orders, so she had to sit honestly.
Jiang Yunyu was still calm and sat inside, and only snorted coldly when she heard these words, regardless of whether the people outside heard it or not.
"Miss, don't embarrass us." Brother Zhao smiled bitterly outside the carriage, and his tone was slightly helpless: "The brothers are also ordered to do things. ”
Jiang Yunyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, sighed silently, and said in her heart, it was really not a way to be so deadlocked, she was going to get out of the car, so she said in a low voice: "Wait a minute." ”
The voice was as clear as a pearl, but it was almost inaudible, and only Brother Zhao barely understood what she meant, and his heart was overjoyed.
In particular, the latter word is muffled by the sound of galloping horses' hooves.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Yu Leak subconsciously showed a faint smile when he heard this familiar voice.
Well, everything is solved, and she doesn't need to bother anymore.
Everyone present craned their necks and watched, wondering where it was sacred.
A young man in a light-colored brocade robe rode on a tall horse, with a tall posture and high spirits. Luojing has a dry climate,
This is especially true in winter and spring, when dust rises on the roads.
When he reached the city gate, the young man turned over and dismounted, and his movements were clean, and his face finally appeared in front of everyone.
He first greeted Yu Leak with his eyes quietly, and then strode in front of Brother Zhao, and said without humility or arrogance: "Team Zhao, I was ordered to come to the city gate to pick up the nobles, please make it convenient." ”
Jiang Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this voice, such a familiar voice and tone was undoubtedly the guard Yun Shen beside Xie Qinglin. I don't know if it's her delusion, she feels that the people under Xie Qinglin act as if they had a trace of their master Xie Qinglin's shadow.
Team Zhao looked Yun Shen up and down, and when he saw that his momentum was extraordinary, he said suspiciously: "Who is your master?" ”
Yun Shen didn't say a word, silently took out something from his arms and shook it in front of his eyes.
Even if it was only a flash, it was enough for him to see clearly.
Team Zhao was shocked, trembling and about to kneel, stammering: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan...... Yun Shen quickly helped him, and whispered: "Don't make a noise." ”
Team Zhao said yes again and again, and asked, "I don't know which noble person you are waiting for?" ”
Yun Shen raised his chin, "That's it." He asked ill-intentionedly, "You didn't embarrass others, did you?" ”
Team Zhao was following his line of sight, and at a glance he saw Jiang Yunyu's ordinary carriage, which frightened a spirit, and said in fear: "No...... There is no ......"
Yun Shen didn't care about the truth of his words, walked straight over, stood outside the carriage and bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Miss Jiang, Lord Xie has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Jiang Yunyu lifted the curtain and revealed a delicate and fair face: "I'm tired." ”
This also came too quickly, if she hadn't seen Yun Shen's extremely familiar face, she would have really been suspicious and defensive. How could Xie Qinglin know that she was here today? She was puzzled.
Yun Shen hurriedly said, "Don't dare." ”
He can't afford it.
They had been in a stalemate here for a while, and many people around them were watching the movement here intentionally or unintentionally, they didn't understand what was going on at all, and the previous fierce city guard suddenly changed his attitude, only to suddenly see the thick curtain of the carriage open a corner, revealing a beautiful woman's face.
Exclamations erupted.
Jiang Yunyu smiled faintly inside: "I'm also anxious to see him." ”
