Chapter Ninety-Two: Trying to Plot
"Yes. Ah Siyi clenched his fists, looked at Ye Ziyi with some concern, and turned to leave.
Ye Ziyi grabbed the placket of the cloak, looked at the tent in the dark, and muttered. "Ah Cheng, you must be safe, I will definitely let you be safe. ”
Ye Ziyi was looking at it, the tent curtain shook, Uncle Zhong bent down and walked out, as the curtain was lifted, a faint light flowed out from inside, and then, the intermittent knocking sound also came out.
"Girl, you better go back to Yangcheng, here I and Ah Si are staring, it's going to be fine, it's early spring, it's very wet and cold here, your body has not been good since you were a child, you still don't have to stay in this forest for a long time, your body is important." Uncle Zhong came to Ye Ziyi's side, looked at the tall tent with her, and sighed. "Is the girl really going to take such a risk?"
"Well, I can't think of a way to do it for a while, only in this way can I help him get out of trouble, with these two stones, Ah Chengcheng doesn't have to bear the rumors of 'king in the world', with Gongzi Tang and Xiang as companions, and if you want to spread rumors, you have to weigh it. Ye Ziyi tightened his cloak and let out a white air. "Gongzi Tang is the son of the first queen, and behind her is the Wang family, she doesn't dare to move. ”
"Gongzi Tang has been squeezed out by Empress Qi and is not allowed to enter the Qi capital to see him, but now it is also an opportunity, this game, Empress Qi is afraid that he will miscalculate. Uncle Zhong nodded and said to Ye Ziyi. "The place that the girl chose is really wonderful. ”
Ye Ziyi shook his head slightly. "It's God's will, thirteen years ago, when I was young, I came here with my father to play, and I also accidentally discovered this stone, this time I thought of it, but I didn't think so far-reaching, Uncle said, it's really true. ”
"Since it is God's will, presumably Gongzi will be fine, and the girl doesn't have to worry. ”
"I hope so. Uncle, these craftsmen, let's scatter them all when we're done, and send them farther away to avoid trouble. Speaking of this, Ye Ziyi sighed and said. "To finish things in two months, these three people are really going to be working day and night. ”
"Send them away, the girl is too kind, these craftsmen are all bought slaves, whether they want to live or die, they have to be left to the girl's fate, and now to do such a big thing, I am afraid that it will only be a disaster to leave them, it is better to take care of them afterwards." Uncle Zhong said, and looked at the tent road where the other two craftsmen were placed. "Girl, don't bother with this, I'll deal with it. ”
"It's a life, and in my hands, it's fate, if they are restless, it's not too late to deal with it. Ye Ziyi pinched her eyebrows, her face was already a little tired, and she bent down to Uncle Zhong. "Uncle Lao is here, I'll go to Yangcheng to arrange it. ”
"Rest assured, girl, everything is with me here, it will be dawn in a while, the girl has not slept all night, but she can't help it. Uncle Zhong returned the salute to Ye Ziyi and walked towards the river beach with her.
"It's just a day or two, it's okay, but uncle, you've suffered. Ye Ziyi looked at Uncle Zhong's hazy face in the moonlight very apologetically, and was very glad that he still had him to help in Fengcheng.
"The girl's words are serious, I am entrusted by the master, how can I not do my best? Although the girl is big, in the end she still needs someone to help her, I can help the girl, I am really happy, where is the suffering?" Uncle Zhong smiled honestly and told Ye Ziyi. "The girl has never been to Yangcheng, it's better to be careful everywhere, stay for two days, and I'll let Ah Si go over to help you." ”
"I know, uncle, don't worry, I won't act recklessly. Ye Ziyi smiled slightly, looked back at the tent that was almost unclear, and pursed her lips.
"That's fine, that's fine. Uncle Zhong nodded again and again, and the two chatted for a while, and they were already on the edge of the river.
On the river beach, the four accompanying guards were already waiting beside the boat, watching Ye Ziyi board the boat, Uncle Zhong didn't say much, only told the four captains a few words, stepped forward to untie the cable, watched the four boats row into the night, and then turned back into the low woods.
Sitting in the cabin and watching Uncle Zhong's figure disappear into the riverbank, Ye Ziyi straightened his cloak and turned his head to the short and thin young man in the cabin. "Ye Rong, are you all ready?"
"Madame, rest assured, everything in Yangcheng has been arranged. Ye Rong knelt down on the low table in the cabin, leaned towards Ye Ziyi, and lowered his voice. "The beggars in Fengcheng are divided into two ends, and the ones on the Yangcheng side have been arranged in the abandoned house outside the city, just waiting for the lady's orders. ”
"Good. Ye Ziyi pressed the curtain of the cabin and said to Ye Rong. "Let them send half of the men into the city tomorrow to find out the news, and the other half will be on standby outside the city. ”
"Yes. By the way, madam, when the villain came, he heard that Yangcheng diverted water to irrigate the fields, and he had a bumper harvest last year, and he had not sold it in the heavy snow this winter, and the price of grain in the city was much different from other places. As soon as Ye Rong's words came out, Ye Ziyi couldn't help but look at him a few more times, this Ye Rong was also honest, sitting upright with his sleeves and lowering his eyes, without the slightest intention of asking for merit.
"Ye Rong, are you really Ah Si's cousin?" Ye Ziyi was a little curious about this Ye Rong, according to this person's talent, it was really a bit strange to flee with Ah Si.
"Yes. Ah Si and I, who are the side branches of the Min Zhong Ye family, have been attacking books for generations in my family, and I don't want to be hopeless, and in the year of disaster, my family was ruined, so I fled out of the weak city with them. Ye Rong looked a little lonely, and after that, he took a deep breath and said. "Madam, although Ye Rong is just a scholar, he is also useful, and he is willing to drive for Madame. ”
Black eyes stared at Ye Rong for a while, and Ye Zi nodded. "I know, as long as you follow me well, although you will not be rich, I can guarantee that I can give you wealth in the future. ”
Ye Ziyi said very easily, and when Ye Rong heard it, he seemed to be relieved, and shook Ye Ziyi.
"Thank you, ma'am. ”
"That's it, let's not talk about it, let's take care of our spirits first, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow. Ye Ziyi said, closed her eyes, and leaned against the bulkhead to doze.
Over there, Ye Rong glanced at her, stopped talking, looked at her clothes a few times after a short table, and closed his eyes for a while.
The bright moon is slanting in the west, all the sounds are silent, the quiet night, even the wind is quiet, the moonlight is covered with the river, the sound of the oars breaking through the water is very clear, the water splash is aroused, flapping and diverging, the 'whooshing' water sound rhythmically rings in the ears, disturbing the thoughts, but also making people feel peaceful.
Ye Ziyi leaned on the boat, unable to sleep at all, she quietly listened to the sound of the water, and slowly calmed down the worries in her heart, but her cherry lips were always pursed.
The two small boats hurried for a pillar of incense, slowly slowed down, and docked at a wild ferry.
Ye Ziyi took four guards and Ye Rong to the shore, under the moonlight, a green canopy carriage drove out of the woodland on the shore, followed by four guards on horseback, Ye Ziyi took five people to meet him, followed the head of the guard to say hello, and climbed into the carriage.
The boat went away, and the carriage drove into the path among the woods in the moonlight, all the way in the direction of Yangcheng.
Sitting in the dark carriage, Ye Ziyi curled up, her chin resting between her elbows, and pursed her lips.
Recently, as long as she is free, her mind has always been the picture of Gongzi Cheng in Yecheng, and this fear is like a shadow, constantly tormenting her fragile nerves, making her almost crazy.
Raising her hand to roll up the curtains, feeling the cold night breeze, and looking at the shadows of the trees speeding outside, Ye Ziyi only felt that time passed too slowly, and looked forward to the moonset and sunrise, so as to quickly expel the endless fear in the center of her eyes.
As he walked, all of a sudden, the carriage slowed down suddenly, and then a guard outside led the horse to the carriage and whispered. "Madam, there is a lone horse in the middle of the road ahead, please let me wait. ”
"What kind of horse is it?Is there no one right away?" Ye Ziyi lifted the curtain out of the carriage and looked at the dark path ahead.
In order to conceal it, the carriage was not lit, and looking through the faint moonlight in the woodland, according to Ye Ziyi's eyesight, he couldn't see the situation ahead at all.
"I can't see it here, but it looks like a lost war horse. As the guard spoke, the inquirers had turned their horses.
Ye Ziyi squinted at the man approaching, squatted on the wheel and looked at the dark place. "Do you see clearly? what's going on?"
"Madame, there was a person in front of you who was seriously injured, and it seems that there had been a fight with someone. The investigating guard bowed his hand. "Please, Madame, decide. ”
"War Horse...... Seriously injured?" Ye Ziyi thought about it, and was just about to ask again, when she heard a gentle sound of horses' hooves in the darkness getting closer and closer, and looked carefully, under the dim moonlight, it was a tall horse strolling over.
Ye Ziyi stared at the horse, watching it get closer and closer, her eyes widened, the hairs on her body stood up, and she asked the investigating guard in a small voice. "Hey, how did it get here?"
"This ...... Thinking that he had just come back from investigation, the animal followed, and Madame was not afraid, so it was okay. So saying, the guard turned his horse and ran to the horse.
After a while, the guard led the horse back to the car, Ye Ziyi let the lantern take the lamp, and came to the horse with the wind lantern to look and look, and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he looked at it, and said to the guards on both sides anxiously. "Quick! get him in the car!"
The guards didn't ask much, according to the words, they helped the people on the horseback to get off the horse and carried them into the car, Ye Ziyi commanded them to put the people away, got out of the car and searched the saddlebags on the horse, took out everything that could be taken out and threw it into the car, and took off the sword on the saddle.
"Let's go, we have to go faster, take the fork in front of us, and go into the forest! Hurry up!" Ye Ziyi hurriedly handed the sword to the guard beside him. "Give this horse a ride and let it run!"
"Yes. When the guard got the order, he drew his sword and stepped forward, and gave the horse a sword to the horse's hips, and the horse was in pain, and with two sounds, he raised his hooves and ran, and in a blink of an eye disappeared into the night.
"Okay, clean up the bloodstains, turn off the lights, and go!" Ye Ziyi jumped into the car, got into the carriage, and with a command, the carriage ran up and went straight to the fork in the road not far ahead.
