Chapter 4: Chance Encounter with a Beauty

On the way back, Gu Tingcheng unveiled.

Steward Li and the others were already waiting impatiently, and when they saw that her clothes were full of sand and mud, they rushed back.

Steward Li, they were already impatiently waiting, and they were looking forward to it back and forth.

"Second Miss, why did you go for so long?" Steward Li wanted to blame, but because she had saved herself, she still asked with a stunned face: "Second Miss, aren't you looking for herbs?" Why, how did you get so embarrassed? ”

"Butler, let's go! The wolves of the king of Dongping went crazy and ran out to bite, and I was almost killed by the wolves just now! Gu Qingcheng said urgently.

She was also afraid that King Dongping's people would chase after her and take them all away.

When Steward Li heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly ran to Pingcheng with a handlebar-style horse.

"Miss, the wolves of King Dongping are biting people everywhere, are all those female slaves dead?" Yun Jin asked with a sad face.

Gu Qingcheng thought that when he ran away, the accomplices of the masked man were saving those female slaves and escaped, and he didn't know if they were all safe in the end.

When the king of Dongping saw that someone had robbed his prey, how could he let them go easily. He's powerful, can those masked people run away?

Who is the masked man who saved himself? The voice and the fragrant aroma were the outlaws of the inn?

Right? That person has the Royal Forest Army waist card, it should be the Royal Forest Army. How could an ordinary Imperial Forest Army dare to oppose the King of Dongping.

And he was running for his life alone, but now this person has so many helpers, and he dares to save so many female slaves under the hands of King Dongping, it shouldn't be the Royal Forest Army.

Crisp and fragrant? By the way, what His Highness saved on the way also has that fragrant fragrance.

“…… Miss? Yun Jin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gu Tingcheng, thinking that Gu Tingcheng was stupefied by the wild wolf just now.

“…… Oh, those slave girls, they should have escaped. Gu Qingcheng muttered.

Steward Li and the others didn't stop all the way, and only ate some dry food in the car. In the afternoon, he rushed back to Pingcheng, and when he entered the city, he did not meet the outlaw before.

Gu Qingcheng said that he was lucky.

Thanks to the fact that a woman dressed as a man, she used to travel with the master to go to the doctor, and it was inconvenient for a girl, so the nurse asked her to dress as a man.

She is also accustomed to it, and she usually dresses like this when she goes out, for convenience.

In early summer, Heijo is in full bloom, and it is not yet the rainy season, which is the best time of the year, neither hot nor cold, but not too wet or dry.

Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was naturally more gorgeous and prosperous than other states and counties.

Gu Tingcheng opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that there were houses on both sides of the street, including tea shops, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, pawnshops, workshops, temples and so on.

It's really prosperous.

The streets are full of pedestrians and vehicles. There are people who carry burdens and hurry, there are those who shout and sell, there are those who drive donkeys to pull trucks, and there are those who go shopping.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the bustle and bustle of Pingcheng, and couldn't help but be happy:

The Northern Wei Dynasty fought for many years and wiped out many surrounding countries, but it also brought about the unification and prosperity of the north.

Xianbei culture has also gradually become sinicized.

When the carriage and horses arrived in a busy street, they also saw several large wooden fence cages on a dirt platform, holding nearly 100 slaves and human traffickers shouting and selling.

Gu Qingcheng said in his heart: Probably, that is the human trafficker market.

Gu's carriage walked on the bustling street, facing a team of carts pulling dozens of boxes of all sizes, accompanied by guards and servants.

The carriage in the center is luxurious and eye-catching, and at first glance it is a rich and noble family.

"Get out of the way! Give way! The main car of Liyang County is driving, and the idlers give way! The leader of the convoy shouted all the way.

Steward Li motioned to Lao Liu to let them go first.

"Lord Liyang? Isn't that the daughter of An Guogong, who was given marriage by His Majesty two years ago and married the first beauty of Dawei under the Duke of Qiu? Yun Jin was slightly surprised.

"The first beauty?" Gu Qingcheng muttered.

The title of the first beauty aroused Gu Tingcheng's interest.

She lifted the curtain and looked out, and when she wanted to see what kind of first beauty the county lord of Liyang was, there was a heroic woman in a red riding dress behind her, whipping the horse and opening the horses on the road.

The whip even struck passers-by, and when they came to a halt at the lavish carriage.

She was followed by two girls on horseback.

The woman rode a horse and whipped her horse, and she was not careful with passers-by, either she was in disregard for human life, or she was in some hurry.

"Sister Tina, are you really back?" The woman in red said happily across the carriage.

The window of the luxurious carriage was pushed open with a creak, and a woman with her hair in a slightly bun and her head slightly tilted up, looking at the woman in red on the horse.

She turned her face sideways, and her face was half-shrunk in the carriage, Gu Qingcheng couldn't see her appearance from the position, but she saw the snow-white jade-like soft worm that was exposed outside the car window.

And the most striking thing is the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, which is whiter and more emerald under the sun.

It shows the softness of the hand and the wealth of the master.

"Shuang'er, where are you going in a hurry?" The voice in the luxurious carriage was soft and delicate.

I can't wait to see what kind of beautiful beauty is inside.

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang is back, I heard my brother say that he was chased and killed all the way, I'm rushing to take a look!" The girl in red said in an anxious tone.

She is young and lively, and her face is a little cunning and cunning, but full of worry is written on her face.

Then he said: "I was walking on the road just now, I listened to the horseman's shouting, and I knew that the county lord of Liyang was back, so I stopped by to say hello to my sister." ”

Gu Tingcheng found that when the hand with the emerald jade bracelet heard that King Gaoyang had been assassinated, he couldn't help but shake violently, and his fingers couldn't help curling up.

"King Gaoyang assassinated?" The soft voice just now seemed to be suppressed and trembling, "Then hurry up and take a look to see if King Gaoyang is okay." ”

"Okay, Shuang'er will go to Sister Tina's Summer Garden another day and talk to her sister."

The woman in red named Shuang'er spoke neatly, and immediately rode her horse and whip and galloped away.

Obviously anxious.

The hand that lifted the curtain paused for a moment before retracting, and a maid leaned out and closed the window.

The motorcade passed by them in a mighty way.

"Miss, the woman in red just now is Li Shuang'er, the sister of the hussar general Li Jun." Yunjin Road.

“…… You even know the hussar general's sister? Gu Qingcheng lowered the curtain and smiled.

"Miss Li Shuang'er once went to the dance studio with our eldest lady to practice dance, and we were fortunate to meet each other." Zhiruo said.

Yun Jin frowned slightly and said: "That county lord of Liyang, two years ago, he was married to the border by His Majesty and married the Duke of Yuguo, and the wedding can be grand." For some reason, I came back with a big suitcase and a small bag, like moving. ”

"Xing is the lord of Liyang County Guining, looking at the boxes of gifts, you will know how to be favored by the Duke of Qiu." Zhiruo said with envy.

Gu Tingcheng didn't think much of the two women, but remembered that Li Pingting said that King Gaoyang was assassinated.

On the way she rescued the noble son, and his guards called him His Highness.

Could it be that person is actually the King of Gaoyang?
