Chapter 260: Returning to the city and being robbed
Nanshao City is expanding the new outer city, the new street houses outside the old city are also brightly lit at night, because the talents of the four countries gather, the street of the outer square, there is a brazier set by the government to illuminate, the fang city is bright and bright, a prosperous.
After the unitary time, the newly built Dongshi Street is still full of people, and a green canopy carriage escorted by more than a dozen guards slowly travels through the downtown and heads towards the inner city gate.
Ye Ziyi lifted a corner of the car curtain, looking at the Confucian scholars who came and went outside, singing or arguing loudly, and a faint smile rose at the corner of her lips.
The colorful lights in the market are endless, reflecting in her eyes, a warm light.
"I'm afraid that this Xishu has never had such a lively scene since ancient times. Riding the horse to the car window, Huang Fuyue looked at these newly built shops and said to Ye Ziyi.
"Xindong City is not yet lively, and the West Market is a place where those down-and-out Confucian scholars gather, so there are many people. ”
"Since we want to recruit talents, we naturally want to let them feel the benefits of our Nanshao, and let them know that our Nanshao not only has mellow wine and beauty, but also has prosperity that ordinary cities do not have, and this is just starting out, it is a good place for unambitious talents to show their strengths, and there are sages like Ah Fu, they will want to stay. ”
Ye Ziyi looked at the smiling faces in the lights, and put down the car curtain. "Come into the city quickly, these people are drunk, don't cause trouble. ”
"Good. Huang Fuyue nodded, and said to the car. "Hurry up!"
The charioteer answered, and with a whip in his hand, the carriage immediately quickened, and in a short time it passed the street of the East Market.
As soon as the carriage left the East Market, two thin horses in the market suddenly rushed out of the alley of the market, and the two horses followed the direction of Ye Ziyi's carriage and galloped over.
After passing the East City, only a dozen zhang away from the city gate, there were guards patrolling in the middle, and the two people on the horse did not dare to alarm the guards, bypassed a few remote alleys, and followed Ye Ziyi's car to the left of the city gate.
The two of them were tightly biting behind the carriage, Huang Fuyue stared at the people who followed Ye Ziyi's carriage, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, he urged the carriage to move quickly, and at the same time directed the guards to disperse beside the carriage, secretly took off the saber on the saddle and held it in his hand.
In the night, the carriage rumbled all the way to the city gate, and before Huang Fuyue could shout to the city, suddenly twenty or thirty swordsmen in green clothes poured out from both sides of the city wall, and these swordsmen were all very brave, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded them.
"Who are you? How dare you stop the county lord's car! I am the Nanshao County Lieutenant Huang Fu Yue is also, you wait for the quick retreat, spare you from death!"
Huangfu Yue's horizontal sword stood in front of the car, and he quietly glanced at the cold and shining weapons in the hands of these Tsing Yi swordsmen under the moonlight, and couldn't help but glance at the palace guards on the city wall.
He deliberately let go of his voice just now, but he didn't see a reaction in the city, at this time, the soldiers on duty should have rushed to protect him, right? Why didn't there be any movement?
"Huangfu County Lieutenant, don't look at it, the soldiers in the city are asleep today, and the county lieutenant is still obediently tied up, so as not to see the sword soldiers and frighten the county lord. ”
As soon as the sound of horses' hooves stopped, the two horses that had just followed the carriage stopped more than a foot away from the carriage, and the people on the horses were masked in black scarves, and there was a bit of ridicule in their tones, so angry that Huang Fuyue's teeth clucked.
Huang Fuyue pointed at the horsewhip and yelled at the man. "Bold! Who are you? How dare you rob the car of the Ruyi County Lord in Xishu?"
Before Huang Fuyue's words fell, Ye Ziyi's smiling voice came from the car. "Brother Right, the moon is dark and the wind is high, you shouldn't pretend to be a ghost, is it so funny to scare me?"
When he heard this, the man on the horse was stunned, and then he burst out laughing, and he took the black scarf off his face, shaking his head and laughing. "Ah Ye, Ah Ye, you are so shrewd, you really can't hide anything from you. ”
"Brother's voice, how could Ah Ye forget it?" As she spoke, Ye Ziyi lifted the curtain and bent over, she sat on the wheel with her legs dangling, looking at the right side of the horse like a little girl, with a gentle smile on her face.
"This, this is unacceptable, Ah Ye, it is good for you to remember the past, but it is wrong to harm people, if this is known to the king, it will be terrible!"
Fu You put the towel into his sleeve and raised his chin at Huang Fuyue. "Hey, Brother Huangfu, since Madame recognized me, let's not do it this time, let's retreat, I'm just ordered to take Madame back, if you don't do it, you can save some effort." ”
"Did he let you come?" Ye Ziyi's tone was a little light, she lowered her eyes and said lightly. "I am now the lord of Nanshao, he is the king of Qi, he wants to meet me, and he should also post a greeting, what is the reason for intercepting it halfway?"
"Ah Ye ......" flicked the right to Ye Ziyi for a while, he subconsciously looked at the person on the horse beside him, and sighed lightly. "The king has always been thinking about you, why should the lady avoid you?"
"Hey, it's better if he and I don't see each other. Ye Ziyi closed his eyes and said to the right. "My brother went back and told him, I didn't want to see him, let him take care of Yongyi and live with peace of mind. ”
As soon as Ye Ziyi's words came out, his right face changed, and he heard the knuckles of the person next to him burst, and he hurriedly said. "Madam, it's not easy to talk nonsense, the king has always been worried about you......"
"Don't say it, big brother Fuyou, you can tell him what I said, I'm tired and want to go back. Ye Ziyi said and instructed Huangfu Yuedao. "Ah Yue, let people go and knock on the door and call for the city gate. ”
"Madam, you ......" Fu You was just about to step forward to stop Ye Ziyi, who was about to get up and get back into the car, when suddenly, the person next to him stepped forward with a horse and drank heavily.
"Take them all!"
Hearing this deep voice, Ye Ziyi's cold hair stood on end, and she turned her head sharply and stared straight at the person on the horse.
The moonlight was clear, but it couldn't illuminate the appearance of the person on the thin horse, but that voice was something that Ye Ziyi could never forget for the rest of her life, the familiar voice that made her heart ache.
"You are the King of Qi!" Huang Fuyue's eyes widened, and he stared at the thin man dressed as a ranger in shock and anger, and clenched the long sword in his hand.
Gongzi Cheng on the horse slowly raised his head, he didn't look at Huangfu Yue, and said in a deep voice. "Ziyi, do you want to go back with me now, or do you want me to do it?"
Ye Ziyi froze at the car door, and after a while she slowly retreated, she knelt on the wheel, lowered her head and choked. "Ah Cheng, do you have to be like this? Now that we're all fine, aren't we okay?"
"You're fine, our father and son, it's not good. Gongzicheng stared closely at the thin figure on the wheel, and a glimmer of starlight flashed in his dark eyes.
"It's been so many years, Ah Cheng, we've been separated for so many years, why do we still see each other now?
Ye Ziyi looked at the hazy darkness on the ground, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, she clutched the long skirt on her knees tightly, and her body trembled slightly.
"Ye Ziyi!"
Gongzi Cheng roared and urged the horse forward, and Huang Fuyue put his sword horizontally and shouted clearly. "Hugh is rude!"
"Take him down!" Don't look at Huang Fuyue, Gongzi Cheng rushed straight to the carriage, Huang Fuyue's sword just raised, two people in Tsing Yi on the side rushed out, one after the other handed over his weapon, swept him off the horse, and pressed him to the ground.
Bringing the horse to the car, Gongzi Cheng looked at Ye Ziyi condescendingly, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
Staring at the constantly kicking horse's hooves in front of her, Ye Ziyi's eyes were filled with tears, she pursed her lips tightly to keep herself from crying, and a pair of small hands were clenched to show green tendons.
Gongzi Cheng looked at her quietly and said in a dumb voice. "Ziyi, come back with me. ”
"I don't!" Ye Ziyi shook her head, she took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice. "Jiang Cheng, this is Xishu, don't go too far!"
All the people present gasped, and dared to call Qi Wangcheng's name, this is already a capital crime, even if this person is the county lord of Xishu, he can't be spared!
"Ziyi, don't do this. Gongzicheng's tone changed, he jumped off the horse and stepped forward to hold Ye Ziyi's hand, and said gently. "Come back with me, we will be together every day in the future, and we will not be separated again, okay?"
The Tsing Yi man with a few guards was dumbfounded, and except for Fu You, the jaws of those present almost fell to the ground. Who would dare to believe that this gentle and petty Lang Jun in front of him was their king who had made a decision to kill?
Feeling the warmth of his palm, the tears in Ye Ziyi's eyes welled up in her eyes, and she trembled and wanted to shake off the big hand, but she couldn't move, and she couldn't give up that warmth.
"Ziyi, I look up at Beidou every night, and I think of what you said that day, you said that you are willing to wait, for my wife, for my queen, now, I am the king of Qi, why do you refuse to fulfill your promise?"
Gongzi Cheng's words carried a hint of coquettishness, and everyone present couldn't help but shudder when they heard it.
Feeling dull on his right face, he coughed lightly, his eyes swept the ground. "Ahem......! Your Majesty, Madam, this, the two of you should find an elegant place to talk in detail, that one...... It's really inconvenient here. ”
Seeing that Ye Ziyi didn't speak, Gongzi Cheng sighed and commanded. "Tie them up here, go!"
A group of Tsing Yi people quickly tied up the more than ten guards with their hands and feet, stuffed cloth in their mouths, and stacked them in a row under the city wall, and these Tsing Yi people stepped on the guards' horses and guarded the car in a very neat and orderly manner.
Gongzi Cheng jumped onto the car with one hand on the wheel, he carefully glanced at Ye Ziyi, who was still crying, and said in a low and begging manner. "Ziyi, don't cry anymore, it's because your husband is wrong, don't blame Madame. ”
"You're bullying me again!" Ye Ziyi said in a hoarse voice, raised her hand and punched Gongzicheng's shoulder, she cried and beat him, as if she had endless grievances, and she couldn't stop.
"It's my husband's fault, don't cry. Gongzicheng had a good attitude and immediately nodded and admitted his mistake.
Ye Ziyi lost her strength after a few beats, she gasped and glared at him with red eyes. "You think I'm good and deceitful, so you dare to do this!
"Okay, I was wrong, Ziyi, can we talk in the car?" Gongzi Cheng held her cold little hand and coaxed gently. "It's cold, you can't stand it. ”
"Where do you care about my life and death now?
"Yes, it's not right to be a husband, it's not good to be a husband. ”
"Don't chase me like that again!...... It scared the hell out of me......"
"Well, it's for the husband's lack of thought. ”
"Hmph! Bring so many people to my Nanshao, I will collect your poll tax! Each person will collect ten taels of gold!"
“......”
