Chapter 203: Miss Qi
System 001 didn't come back in the end. For this, Hu Xizi felt very puzzled. But no matter how much she wondered, she had to face the fact that she was going to walk back to Xizi City on foot.
Hu Xizi didn't know how far Gongzi Yunge had taken her to Xizi City. Anyway, she didn't go to the city gate until it was dark.
"This system 001 is usually quite accurate for her, what's wrong today? Or did he deliberately not come out to find her? Hu Xizi was thinking nonsense while resigned to his fate.
Xi Gong, who is believed to have deliberately hung her system 001, is already on the verge of collapse. All the guards in the palace were sent to find Huxizi.
This night, Xi Cheng is destined to have no sleep.
And Huxizi, who didn't know where he was, was still walking directionlessly.
"I knew that System 001 wouldn't chase after me, so I would have asked Gongzi Yunge to send me back first......" Hu Xizi hammered her sore legs, bending over and slowly moving her steps.
Fortunately, the position she is in now is an official road. She's safer. The bad thing is that at this time, there is no one on the road.
As soon as she thought this, the sound of the carriage turning suddenly sounded in the distance, and the sound kept approaching her direction.
Hu Xizi turned around and looked.
In the faint skylight, a carriage darker than the sky could be faintly seen. The carriage was followed by two men on horseback.
"Hey, can you give me a ride!" Huxizi stood in the middle of the road, waving his arms vigorously.
The coachman hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse. The horse neighed and stopped less than half a meter away from Huxizi.
"Who are you? Don't die standing here! ”
When the two men who followed the carriage saw that the carriage had stopped, they hurriedly grabbed the horse's reins and made the horse stop slowly. The two rode around Huxizi on horseback, looked at Huxizi and asked angrily.
"That...... Two big brothers, I used to play out of the city, but I got lost, I don't know if you can give me a ride? ”
The two looked at each other, and one of them drove to the carriage, clasped his fists in the carriage, and said, "Miss, there is a girl on the road, please give her a ride." ”
"Let her leave quickly, it's too late, and we won't be able to enter the city!" A crisp, slightly shrill female voice rang out.
The man turned his head to look at Hu Xizi and said, "Did you hear that?" Why don't you get out of the way? ”
Hu Xizi looked at the skylight, then looked at the carriage and said, "Don't you know, the city gate has long been closed!" ”
"That's not your business, get out of here!" A crisp, slightly shrill female voice came from the carriage again.
"This young lady, you give me a ride, I promise you to go into the city?"
As soon as Hu Xizi's words fell, he saw the carriage door open, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a double hair came out. Seeing Hu Xizi, her face was full of impatience: "What's the matter with you?" My young lady said that if you don't carry you, you won't carry you, and it's useless for you to stalk. If you don't leave, I'll let the family drive you away!" ”
"So you're not a young lady!" Faced with the threat of the hammerhead maid, Huxizi not only did not back down, but took two steps forward and smiled, "I want to see your young lady!" ”
"Our young lady doesn't see you!" The hammerhead girl tilted her head slightly, crossed her hands on her waist, and said arrogantly and rudely. Hopefully, this will scare off Huxizi.
Of course, Huxizi didn't care.
"Aren't you your young lady, can you be the master of your young lady?"
"You!"
"Xiu'er!"
The maid was about to reason with Hu Xizi, when a soft soft cheer came from the carriage.
"Miss, I think this girl must not be a good person to be alone on this official road so late!" Xiu'er said angrily.
The girl's words were wrong. How can I easily determine my character when and where I appeared? Hu Xizi said leisurely.
"Then why do you think you're here alone so late?" Xiu'er asked.
"I said I got lost because of playfulness......"
"Less deception! It's still some distance from Xicheng, how could you run so far to get lost? ”
Is it? I didn't expect Gongzi Yunge to take her away from Xicheng so far, no wonder System 001 couldn't find her!
"You can't tell me, your heart is empty, right?" Xiu'er said proudly.
"No, I'm just thinking, why don't you leave if you don't believe me? It's because you're worried that you won't be able to enter the city gate, right? Hu Xizi said thoughtfully.
"You!" The idea was debunked, and Xiu'er didn't know what to say for a while.
"Girl, be honest. You clearly want me to take you into the city, and you want to deliberately make things difficult for me, why is this trouble? Hu Xizi ruthlessly debunked.
"Who said ......" Xiu'er was still trying to argue, but the soft voice in the carriage sounded again.
"Xiu'er, please come up!"
"But miss, the slave hasn't asked clearly!" Xiu'er stood in front of the carriage and stamped her feet.
Huxizi didn't give Xiu'er a chance to deliberately make things difficult for herself, and lifted her skirt and quickly climbed into the carriage.
Entering the carriage, there was a lantern in the corner of the carriage, which vaguely reflected the face of the woman sitting in the carriage. Although she can't see her face clearly, she looks like a gentle woman with a temperament.
The carriage is not large, more than enough for two people. But if three people squeeze down at the same time, it's a bit crowded.
"What's Miss's last name?" Hu Xizi asked politely.
"My young lady's surname is Qi!" Xiu'er's voice was slightly raised, and there was a faint hostility towards the intruder of Hu Xizi.
"Thank you Miss Qi for your help!" Hu Xizi bowed to the woman.
"The girl is very polite, I don't know what the girl's surname is?" The woman hurriedly picked up the pot and asked softly.
"My last name is Fu."
Miss Qi nodded, looked at Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, go outside!" ”
"But miss, the slave doesn't worry about you staying with her!" Xiu'er bit her lip and said.
"Let's go!"
Xiu'er glanced at Hu Xizi warningly, and got out of the carriage very reluctantly.
"I wonder if Miss Fu really has a way to let us into the city?" Miss Qi's voice was slightly worried.
"Dare to ask why Miss Qi is rushing into the city so late?" Huxizi asked.
Miss Qi replied softly, "The little girl returned to Xicheng on the orders of her father. ”
"So that's it?" Huxizi nodded. In ancient times, the life of parents was greater than heaven. Hu Xizi didn't continue to ask.
"What about Miss Fu? How did it end up here? Miss Qi suddenly asked.
Hu Xizi could see at a glance that this girl was a smart person. But no matter how smart this girl is, it doesn't prevent her from making up lies.
Hu Xizi sighed lightly, put his hands on his cheeks, and frowned slightly: "Thanks to Miss Qi's help, I am dissatisfied with Miss Qi!" Actually, the reason why I'm here is because someone kidnapped me! ”
"Hijacked?" Miss Qi's voice raised slightly.
"Miss Qi, don't be afraid!" Hu Xizi immediately comforted her and said, "It's not a bad person who kidnapped me, it's someone who had a marriage contract with me before. ”
"Since I have a marriage contract with you, how can I hijack you?" Miss Qi asked slightly uneasy.
"There was a marriage contract before. Later, I divorced him. Huxizi replied.
Regarding Hu Xizi's remarks, Miss Qi said slightly puzzled: "The matter of marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of her parents, why did Miss Fu withdraw the marriage contract by herself?" ”
Hu Xizi smiled faintly: "I don't have any relatives at home, so I can naturally make my own decisions." ”
When Miss Qi heard this, her eyes flashed, and she said softly, "Miss Fu......"
"It's not something to be taboo about, you don't have to take it personally." Hu Xizi smiled.
Miss Qi nodded and asked, "What happened after that?" ”
"I married someone else, and he was not reconciled, so he kidnapped me here." Hu Xizi said.
"And then?" Miss Qi clasped her hands together, pressed them tightly to her heart, and looked at Hu Xizi intently.
Hu Xizi's face was serious, his lips were pursed, and he didn't speak for a long time. Just when Miss Qi couldn't hold it anymore, Hu Xizi suddenly laughed.
Then, he figured it out himself! But he said he didn't want to return me to my father-in-law, so he left me here. He said, if I really want to go back to Xianggong, let me go back by myself! ”
Miss Qi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hu Xizi and asked, "Miss Fu must care about your father-in-law, right?" ”
Hu Xizi's eyes flashed and he nodded.
The wheels of the carriage turned in a whirlwind, and the carriage swayed. Nothing to say along the way.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage slowed down until it stopped. Xiu'er opened the carriage and walked in, looked at Miss Qi and said, "Miss, we have arrived at the city gate." The gates are closed! ”
Before Miss Qi could speak, Xiu'er immediately turned to Huxizi and said, "Miss Fu, didn't you say that there is a way for us to enter the city?" What can you do? ”
"Xiu'er!" Seeing that Xiu'er was so direct, Miss Qi frowned and shouted softly.
"It's fine!" Hu Xizi waved his hand, stood up, looked at Xiu'er and said, "Okay, you go out first!" ”
Xiu'er exited the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. Hu Xizi followed. Miss Qi poked her head out of the carriage.
I saw Hu Xizi walking straight towards the city gate, stretching out his hand and hammering it hard a few times on the city gate.
The bulky door creaked and slowly opened. Guards in silver armor and spears quickly poured out from behind the city gates, surrounding several people and their carriages.
"Who trespassed on the gates?" The leading guard took a step forward and shouted coldly as he looked at a few people.
"It's none of our business, it's her knocking on the door!" Seeing this, Xiu'er's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly pointed to Hu Xizi and shirked.
"Xiu'er!" Miss Qi snorted lightly, jumped down from the carriage, slowly walked to the front, and unhurriedly made a dignified etiquette towards the leading guard, and said softly: "Brother Guard, we are from the Mansion of Lord Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but we are in a hurry and missed the time, I don't know if it is convenient to let a few of us into the city!" ”
The guard glanced at Miss Qi a few times, looked Miss Qi up and down, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Since you have missed the hour, you can't let it into the city again." Go, go! ”
Miss Qi's face was timid. Xiu'er suddenly stepped forward and looked at the guards and said, "Why are you so blind?" Do you know who is standing in front of you right now? ”
"Who is it?" The leading guard asked with a nonchalant expression.
"It's the daughter of Lord Shangshu Qi of the Ministry of War!" Xiu'er said proudly and loudly.
Who knew that the leading guard sneered and said, "Who do I care who you are?" If you miss the hour, you won't be allowed to enter the city! Even if the emperor comes, it won't work! ”
"You!" Xiu'er gritted her teeth and looked at the leading guard, her face turning crimson with anger.
"Let's go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! The leading guard turned around and left, and was about to enter the city gate, when Hu Xizi stepped out.
"Wait!"
"What's ......" The leading guard turned around suddenly, saw the face of the visitor clearly, and his impatient expression immediately froze on his face.
Just now, Hu Xizi was standing in the dark, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Now Hu Xizi deliberately stood next to the guard's lantern, and his face immediately became clear.
The leading guard hurriedly walked in front of Hu Xizi, snatched the lantern in the guard's hand and shone it in front of Hu Xizi, and his face suddenly became nervous. He suddenly knelt down and saluted: "My subordinates meet the pot girl!" ”
"The Emperor won't let me in, I don't know if I can enter?" Hu Xizi said leisurely.
The leading guard said in fear: "Of course! I don't know it's the pot girl, you are abrupt, and the light pot girl is guilty! ”
"Excuse me. You're also loyal to your duties! Hu Xizi said very understandingly.
The leading guard stood up, looked at Hu Xizi and said with a smile: "Hu girl, the emperor has been looking for you for a day, you ......"
"What's the hurry, I'll go see him now." Hu Xizi pointed to Miss Qi behind him and said, "They are my friends, can we put them in together?" ”
"Yes, yes, naturally!" The leading guard replied repeatedly. After the words fell, he walked in front of Miss Qi to apologize: "It was a subordinate who was abrupt just now, please forgive Miss Qi!" ”
Xiu'er snorted coldly, raised her head high, and was just about to embarrass the leading guard when she was stopped by Miss Qi's warning look.
Miss Qi stepped forward and saluted back, "Brother Guard, thank you for letting us into the city!" ”
The leading guard smiled: "Even if you thank you, you can't thank your subordinates." If you want to thank you, thank the pot girl! ”
Miss Qi slowly walked in front of Hu Xizi and saluted, "Thank you, Miss Hu!" I don't know the identity of the pot girl, how offended! ”
Hu Xizi hurriedly helped Miss Qi up and said, "You didn't offend me!" Then, she glanced meaningfully at Xiu'er, who was looking at the leading guard with an arrogant face.
"Pot girl, my subordinates will escort you back to the palace!" The leading guard walked up to Hu Xizi's side and said.
Hu Xizi shook his head and said mysteriously, "No." ”
When the leading guard was puzzled by her words, a man with ice all around his body came out of the corner of the city gate......
I saw that this person's face was like frost, the corners of his lips were pursed, and a yellow dragon robe looked dangerous and majestic in the dark night.
"Your Majesty......," the leading guard muttered, immediately realizing that now was not the time to be surprised. He hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Meet the emperor!" ”
Miss Qi came back to her senses and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"It's coming so fast!" Hu Xizi said casually. As she spoke, System 001 had already walked in front of her.
"Hey, okay, half a meter away!" Huxizi reached out to System 001 and pushed the distance between the two.
