Speaking of the border city where the Jiang clan was exiled, it is the boundary south of Haozhou, but it is not far from the imperial city, but the climate of the two places is completely different.

It's like it's winter at this time, and the imperial city is already like a cold mountain and cold water, but the border city is still warm and smooth, and the blue sky is thousands of miles...

Speaking of which, my father was also bothered, and he chose such a good place for Jiang Qi.

I found a comfortable angle to lean against the bumpy carriage, the breeze whistling the curtain on the window and playfully raising the hair on my forehead.

Unable to resist the itchy feeling, I raised my hand to lift the curtain.

Only then did I find that the carriage back to the palace was passing through a grassland in the border city, and the endless meadow should have been filled with the desolate atmosphere of winter, but there was nothing to see here, but it was warm and a little bizarre.

I pulled my hair behind my ears and sniffed the scent of earth in the breeze, and I felt very pleasant, and I felt a little sleepy on this quiet afternoon.

At this time, in the distance, I don't know who roared, and then there was a sound of speed.

It made me feel a little sleepy, and I secretly guessed...

You can't be so unlucky, right? Could it be a robber?

I shook the napping peach heart next to me, and said with a solemn expression, "Peach heart, did you hear any sound?" ”

"Voice?" Taoxin was silent for a while, and then suddenly came to her senses, "I heard the sound of the herdsmen herding sheep, right?" ”

I shook my head, and listened carefully for a few more moments, until I realized that the sound of neighing horses and heavy stamping seemed to be getting closer and closer to us.

This innate vigilance against unknown dangers made me grit my teeth, and I couldn't help but get nervous, only the stupid girl Momoxin still didn't know why.

Then, as the sound echoed in my ears more and more enthusiastically, my heart seemed to rise to my throat.

Just as I was about to rush out with the kung fu of a three-legged cat, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Then the coachman howled twice into the carriage, "Don't be alarmed, two girls, it's the iron cavalry soldiers who are going out to pass by, and we can continue to walk after they are gone." ”

Iron cavalry soldiers on the march? So...

The sound of the speed and the neighing of the horses just now, are they?

After listening to the coachman's words, my hanging heart fell steadily, and the tension just now was instantly disintegrated by the ice with the iron cavalry.

Then, taking advantage of this gap, I got out of the carriage, hoping to catch a glimpse of the iron horse in my father's hand.

Helplessly, this guy's babbling personality saw me get out of the carriage and immediately got out like a fart.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" Momoxin looked very puzzled and stood behind me, and finally saw the iron cavalry team not far away before he jumped and said, "Is it really an iron cavalry soldier?" Princess! ”

I smiled and didn't speak, just watched the black blue flag approach.

When the armoured iron cavalry soldiers rode majestically past us on their horses with halberds and guns, they didn't want to be surprised to see old acquaintances from a distance.

And the old acquaintance seemed to be very lucky to see me, so when the two of them looked at each other, they were both stunned.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Shen Xiao, who is an old acquaintance, was riding a tall horse at this time, holding a halberd gun in his hand, and the black armor on his body made his peerless face more and more heroic, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

However, looking at Shen Xiao like this, I couldn't come back to my senses for a moment.

It wasn't until he skilfully hurried the horse closer to me, and saw that there was only Peach Heart standing behind me, except for the coachman, and he wrung his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you come out without a guard?" ”

Seeing his concerned look, I couldn't help but feel a warm heart, and said with a smile, "Aren't my guards standing in front of me now?" However, I don't know when he became an Iron Knight. ”

"Princess..."Shen Xiao probably thought I was blaming him, and after casting an apologetic look at me, he stopped talking, and finally... The unspoken words turned into a sigh in the grassland of the border city in winter, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”

And I actually didn't blame him for that meaning at all, and after seeing him apologize, the second monk was even more confused.

So, after thinking for a long time, I remembered to ask, "What about the prince's brother?" Didn't he go with you? ”

When I mentioned the Prince's brother, Shen Xiao glanced at the Iron Cavalry team that had already gone away at this time, and his face softened a little, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already left before us. ”

"What?" I looked at Shen Xiao's serious face in disbelief, and then thought of my brazen prince brother, and couldn't help but curse secretly.

This unreliable stupid prince! Did he think he was going hunting? In order to boost morale, he should have gone forward with the soldiers, but he actually left first?

Just when I was thinking that I must go back to my father and sue him for a black state, my heart suddenly changed my mind and another thought came to me.

So, my heart moved, and I began to look at Shen Xiao's horse, and it took me a while to pat the horse's butt like the animal tamer in the palace before.

I almost didn't kick me over on the spot, but fortunately, the princess learned a trick and avoided it in time.

"It's... This is a war horse, right? I was afraid to touch my little heart, which was scared, and I asked knowingly, and then I took a few steps closer.

Shen Xiao saw my ill-intentioned appearance, probably because he secretly felt bad in his heart, and immediately drove the horse forward, still maintaining a distance of several steps, and said, "Princess, who are you?" ”

I didn't rush to answer him, but looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.

When the little heart finally calms down...

I smiled evilly, and simply followed this distance, exerting force from the soles of my feet...

Half running and half on my lame light work, in Shen Xiao's beautiful eyes whose pupils suddenly tightened, he had already sat down in front of him in the next second.

"Princess, you..."

"Will you take me to Fengcheng?"

I turned my head and saw Shen Xiao's stunned appearance, pursing my lips and chuckling.

After a moment, I heard a deep voice from above my head, "Nonsense, princess, do you know what that place is?" Now Fengcheng is full of Wu Guobing who kills people without blinking. ”

"Of course I know, but if you go, I'll go too!"

"No way!"

"It's too late to refuse." I smiled, and with a face thicker than the city walls, I simply leaned down and hugged the horse's neck.

Shen Xiao was angry, and when he saw me playing a scoundrel, he suddenly turned over and dismounted with a solemn expression, and said coldly, "If the princess really wants to go so much, then Shen Xiao will never stop it, princess, please do it!" ”

"You..."

Shen Xiao saw my weakness that I was not very good at riding, so he left me alone on the horse, but he pretended to be indifferent and stepped aside.

But how can I be such an easy person to convince me, and if he doesn't take me, can't I go myself? Anyway, the horse is here.

"Go by yourself, go by yourself!" I snorted angrily, looked at Shen Xiao, who was still unmoved, clamped the horse's belly with both feet, then took out the silver hairpin on the bun, and stabbed the horse in the back.

But what I didn't know was that the silver hairpin was only half a point into the horse's back, and the horse rushed forward like crazy.

"Princess!" Momoxin screamed in fright, and froze in place.

And I'm taking care of myself right now...

Unexpectedly, the horse's temperament was so fierce that I injured it, and it was running with all its strength while trying to throw me off.

I had to hold it on my hands and feet, and it almost hung upside down on the horse's neck under the violent jolting.

Immediately afterward, after running for a while, the war horse suddenly stopped, raised its front hooves and raised its head to the sky with a long roar, and stood with only a pair of hind hooves.

Unprepared, my body suddenly lost its center of gravity, and my head fell into chaos...

When I reacted again, my body had been snatched away and I fell into a strong embrace.

"Enough trouble?" A cold voice suddenly came from overhead.

We suddenly raised our eyes and found that Shen Xiao still had a solemn face, but the hand on my waist was clenched very tightly.

He hugged me, and then I could see the slightest hint of gloom hidden in his eyes.

"Uh," I forced a smile as I struggled out of his arms, "I can't just ride it." ”

"Princess, I hope you can understand that this expedition to Fengcheng is not for fun, it is to see real swords and guns, and I may not be able to take care of the princess when the two sides are fighting, so please don't embarrass me, go back to the palace quickly."

Shen Xiao looked at me, his face was very serious, which made me a little overwhelmed.

After a while, I touched my nose and said, "Otherwise... How about you let me follow you, and when I want to fight, I will hide and never hold you back? And I know martial arts. ”

Shen Xiao didn't speak, just looked away, looked at the war horse that had settled down not far away, walked over, and turned over on the horse.

When he looked at me again, the gloom on his face had been replaced by a touch of helplessness.

"Princess, why do you want to go to Fengcheng so much?"

When it comes to why I want to go to Fengcheng, I don't really understand it myself, why?

Maybe it collapsed under the long-term depression of the cage of the deep palace, or maybe it just wanted to let myself indulge for a while, I don't know...

Why do ghosts generally want to go to Fengcheng?

With a wry smile, I threw my sorrow away from my head, and looked at Shen Xiao's tall figure standing on the horse, but I just looked at it like this... Silent.

After a long time, he seemed to have compromised, and stretched out his hand to me, "Remember, you can't be discovered by others, and you can't be three steps away from me, if I am seriously injured, you can leave me alone and run away, leave me alone, maybe promise me this?" ”

My eyes were fixed on his pupils like a pool, and I watched him explain my earnestness one by one...

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and put his hand in his palm.

With the strength in his hand, he spun on his horse.

But I didn't know that my willfulness would bring Shen Xiao a very harsh punishment later.

I didn't know that after witnessing the horrific killing, my line of work actually opened a chapter that changed my life.
