Under the escort of these people, the trip of the two had a lot of fun. I really didn't expect Gu Lingkai's subordinates to be so flexible, and the atmosphere was not ordinary flexible and cheerful at all.

When there was still a mile away from the border of Xiangguo, those people sent by Gu Lingkai disappeared automatically without Zhuang Wanqin saying anything. It's a remote area, but because it's the border between the two countries, it's a little bit bustling.

Sensing that those people had gone away, Zhuang Wanqin lifted the curtain on the car door, revealing the official road outside that was already full of life.

At this time, it is the twilight of spring, and the flowers and butterflies are flying, even if this place is used as a battlefield from time to time, it is inevitable that there will be a little joy.

"It's finally here, what kind of battle do you think Hanbo will send?"

Shaking the dogtail grass in his mouth, Zhuang Wanqin jumped out of the carriage. It's been a long time since I've spent a lot of time in the sun, and I've forgotten what this warmth looks like.

The city in the distance is hidden among the dense foliage, and the small post stations that appear on the roadside from time to time show the national strength of Xiangguo and Zhuhua today. The tables and chairs placed outside do not feel like life is difficult at all, and they just seem to be able to relieve the difficulties of the wanderer along the way. Throwing the dogtail grass to the side of the road, she stretched her waist and let the sunlight banish the stuckness of the journey.

"Hey," Zhuang Wanqin put her head into the car, and said to Xu Ruqing, who was still reading, with a smile: "I'll take the first step, you have to take care of this carriage, you know, this thing is not cheap." ”

When he saw Zhuang Wanqin's smile, Xu Ruqing knew that there must be nothing good. Sure enough, she planned to play by herself again.

Nodding helplessly, he watched the man's back disappear from his field of vision, and then moved his gaze back to his hand.

Inadvertently, he glanced at the number of books beside him, and suddenly found that he had finished reading the books brought by Zhuang Wanqin. The one in my hand has only a few pages left and is the last one.

Sighing slightly, he continued to look down at what was written in the book.

Zhuang Wanqin, who got out of the carriage, arrived under the city gate after a while. As Gu Lingkai expected, this formation was very strong.

Far away from the city gate, she saw a red patch in the distance. When I got closer, I realized that it was a battle of 100 people. These people stood in front of the city gate in unison, blocking all those who entered and left the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Wanqin's heart was helpless. Is this pouring dirty water on himself?

He stepped forward and randomly found a man dressed in red and asked, "May I ask what is going on?" ”

Fortunately, she was not wearing any rags, so she would not be thrown aside. The man looked Zhuang Wanqin up and down and said stiffly: "The emperor's old friend is coming to visit, and if the girl wants to enter the city, she needs to wait a little longer." ”

It's a good thing to say back to an old friend.

"But I don't know who that old friend is, and there is such a battle?"

Zhuang Wanqin asked with a smile, and after seeing the other party's somewhat embarrassed expression, she took out a tael of silver from her arms and put it in the other party's hand.

This is worth a month of his desperate work.

It's a pity that the man actually shirked it!

Looking at the silver that returned to her hand, Zhuang Wanqin was slightly surprised. I didn't expect that the quality of the people cultivated by Han Bo is good, and they can withstand such temptations.

Sighing, Zhuang Wanqin took her disgusted silver and walked to the teahouse next to her.

Since you can't hear anything from these people, let's listen to the rumors.

Sure enough, this did not disappoint Zhuang Wanqin. As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone talking about the men in red.

"Isn't it? Those people arrived before dawn. No, it's almost noon, and I'm still not allowed to enter the city. I don't know who they are waiting for, it is such a big battle. ”

A man who looked like a businessman from out of town said to the person next to him.

Xu was the reason why those people stopped him, and many people gathered in the teahouse next to him, and it was full for a while. Seeing that there were still seats over there, Zhuang Wanqin walked over quickly, for fear that the seat would be occupied by someone else a little later.

It happened that the shopkeeper was serving tea to the merchant, and when he heard the merchant's complaint, he smiled mysteriously and said: "You don't know this, it is said that the emperor's old friend is coming, guess who it is?" It is the regent who was in the limelight in the past few years of Nanguo! ”

The merchant was also shocked when he heard this, "The regent? Didn't the empress of Nanguo say that she was dead? ”

Hearing that someone knew what was going on, another group of people gathered.

"You can't talk nonsense, shopkeeper, it's not something you can joke about."

Although Zhuang Wanqin knew the facts of this matter, in order not to be conspicuous, she still nodded hard with the people around her, showing a look of disbelief.

Seeing that there were more people, the pride of the store suddenly surged into his heart, and he raised his head and squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's not it, this is what those people in red said." At first, they ate tea here when they weren't standing there, that's what they said at that time. However, they don't know how the man who is supposed to be dead came out. ”

Everyone looked like this, a little dumbfounded, which made Zhuang Wanqin playful.

She quietly lowered her voice, and said when those people hadn't messed up again: "I heard that it was the Empress Nanguo who wanted to frame the regent at that time, but the regent Fu had a great life and did not die, and later went to Zhuhua. ”

Everyone looked at Zhuang Wanqin as serious as if she was lying, and suddenly the focus turned to her.

They really haven't heard of these things, most of them are rumors, but I didn't expect this little girl to know a lot.

The sharp-eyed ones had already seen that the clothes Zhuang Wanqin was wearing were extraordinary, and suddenly his eyes were different. The trace of doubt that was still carried with it has long since disappeared, and only full of trust remains.

"You also know that Nanguo was raised by the regent at the beginning, and after the empress ascended the throne, she was naturally afraid that she would rebel. Since there are such concerns, of course, it is necessary to prevent trouble, so I found an opportunity to kill her quietly. ”

swept around the people around, and saw that they were all stretching their necks and waiting to listen, but Zhuang Wanqin didn't say anything, stood up and walked out.

Although it is difficult for people to leak here, Zhuang Wanqin's martial arts are not covered. The five big and three thick men were easily pushed away by her.

When everyone saw that the center of the gossip was about to leave, they stepped forward to stay, wanting to hear the whole story.

It's a pity that this wish will not come true.

Because-Xu Ruqing had already driven the carriage to the city gate.
