Chapter 45 Rushing to the West
In the empty palace, the woman leaned on the windowsill alone, she used to be here, and the most she saw was his back, but now she can only look at the mountains and watch the sunset, watch the leaves fall without saying a word, and the cold wind blows through the window, sending silent thoughts far away.
At this time, a flexible black shadow quietly climbed in from the back wall.
"Princess, it's me." Song Ling shouted softly.
Princess Wu was stunned, was she alone for a long time, and even began to imagine the voice?
"Princess."
At this moment, Princess Wu heard it clearly, she leaned over and looked down, and finally found her figure in the twilight.
"Miss Song!"
Princess Wu was shocked, Song Ling came back so soon, is there any news of the prince?
She hurried downstairs and pulled her in.
"Is there any news from the prince? How are they? ”
As soon as she closed the door, Princess Wu asked anxiously.
Song Ling's eyes darkened, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, it's me who is incompetent, I didn't find the prince and the prince." ”
"You mean, they've fled?"
Princess Wu was a little stunned, she didn't find it, it can be regarded as half good news, at least she shouldn't have been caught by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
"I met the pursuers of the imperial court in Fanyang, but if I went further, I didn't see any trace of the prince, let alone the horse's hoof prints, so I hurried back, I was afraid that the direction they were going was not north."
"Then they just weren't caught up by the pursuers! Thank God! Thank God! ”
As soon as she thought of this, Princess Wu Xiao Kezuhun immediately clasped her hands together and prayed sincerely.
Lord, you must leave safely!
"Princess, I'm afraid they've abandoned their horses."
Song Ling frowned, she hadn't figured out why King Wu would choose to hike, where was this going?
"Why did they abandon their horses? So where can they go? ”
"Go ......"
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Song Ling's mind.
Yes, why didn't she think that with their footsteps, they didn't walk to the checkpoint in front of them, so they were afraid that they would walk back to Yecheng!
Yecheng Yecheng, Yecheng today......
Those familiar eyes......
As if he suddenly thought of something, Song Ling hurriedly chased him out again.
"Hey, Miss Song......"
****
Yan Kingdom, Yecheng, West City Gate
Murong Ling and the others were taking anxious steps in their hearts, seeing that the road to the city was close at hand, but these few steps seemed extremely difficult.
Although Murong Bao is willful and playful on weekdays, he has not lost his sense of proportion at critical moments.
The four brothers bowed their heads and held the broken bowl in their hands, in which were still a few coins lying sparsely, everything seemed to be flawless, and they continued to walk calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, you guys, stop!" Only to hear the cautious guard shout.
Murong Ling and the others immediately gasped, but they immediately stopped.
Murong Bao was somewhat panicked, his eyes for help immediately turned to his eldest brother, Murong Ling glanced at him, signaling him to calm down first, and then act at the opportunity.
"No, you really want to interrogate the beggars, don't toss your brother, it's almost time for a change of guard."
The other guard watched as it was getting dark, and waited for the change of guard at work, not wanting to find something to do for himself.
"Yes, we can manage the people who enter Yecheng, what do they do when they go out, they are a group of beggars, what kind of storm can they raise."
Another guard waited to go home with his wife and son, and he didn't want to go back again.
The cautious guard was persuaded by them to retreat, but he walked to the beggar's side and asked a few questions to see if there was anything suspicious.
"Do you know the beggars in front of you?"
All the brothers didn't dare to answer, and looked at the eldest brother in unison.
From the moment he was stopped by the guards, Murong Bao's hand holding the broken bowl was sweating non-stop.
It seems that today, it is going to be difficult to escape a fight.
He usually thinks that his strength is acceptable, but today he suddenly felt empty.
"Official, we are all poor people holding bowls and begging for food, so we all know each other."
Murong Ling pretended to bow and replied calmly.
The guard was not suspicious, but continued to ask, "And where are you going?" ”
"We don't have a fixed place, where there are rich and noble people, just stop, after all, the vicinity of Yecheng is a rich place." Murong Ling then replied calmly, all the answers were done in one go, and they were all natural.
"Isn't Yecheng easy to mix? Why do you keep seeing beggars leaving today? ”
I don't know if the guard just asked casually, or if he was really suspicious because of Ding Ruosu's actions just now, this question is extremely critical.
"The official doesn't know, the competition here is too fierce, and our territory is now being robbed by other gangs, that is, there is no place to sleep, if you don't go, you can't go."
Murong Ling deliberately put on a helpless look of no fixed residence, but he did not make the guards suspicious.
At this time, it was time for the guards to change the guard, and the replacement soldiers had already arrived at the city gate.
Several soldiers who were about to go home shouted at him, "Hey, brother, it's a change of guard, let's go first." ”
"Hey, wait for me, brothers will go together." In the end, when it was time to get off work, the guard was a little loose, and he didn't ask why anyway, he was just an ordinary beggar, he simply waved his palm, and said impatiently, "Let's go, let's go." ”
"Thank you, sir."
Murong Ling glanced at the four brothers, silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked slowly under the majestic high wall.
Yecheng, where my father has worked hard for half his life, finally comes to the day when he can't turn back.
Although Murong Chui and the others went out of the west gate of Yecheng without danger, the hardships and dangers ahead were still waiting for them.
****
Song Ling hurriedly rode out on horseback and chased him out, it was him, it must be him!
That deep and cold look is him!
They went the opposite way, and returned to Yecheng silently, seeing that the direction they were going was to the west.
Just as she was chasing after her heart, the sound of a fierce fight suddenly came from a distance, which stopped her at once.
I saw a sword and a sword, as fast as lightning, and two people in black robes were fighting each other. Judging from the body shape, both of them are estimated to be men, one of them has a missing piece of clothing above his left arm, which seems to be caused by injury, although the reaction is still extremely fast, and the moves are quite sharp, but it can be clearly seen that he is at a disadvantage in the fight. On closer inspection, the wounded man seemed to look familiar.
She couldn't help but stop at the corner, and when she looked closely, that person turned out to be the King of Zhongshan, Murong Chong.
Such a beautiful and stunning appearance can be recognized at a glance, and she will not be mistaken.
