Chapter 85

Following. ()

The sun shines lightly and the birds chirp gracefully, waking up the people of the imperial capital.

A low-key carriage was waiting outside the city gate early.

Li Yunqing was dressed in green clothes, her long hair was flying, quite wanton and free, and when she walked out of the Emperor's Mansion, Aunt Yue worriedly instructed: "Miss, be careful, come back as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Li Yunqing smiled, and led the two royal highnesses dressed in ordinary clothes from the inconspicuous small alley to the outside of the city gate.

Outside the city gates, overgrown with weeds and towering ancient trees, blocking most of the sunlight, only the sporadic sunlight scattered on the ground, dappled with light and shadow, and the breeze was quiet.

In front of the carriage was a fine horse, quietly bowing his head and eating a few bites of grass on the ground.

In front of the carriage, Cao Xi was clothed, sitting with a hanging child, shaking his legs, a dogtail hanging from the corner of his mouth, and a big straw hat covering most of his face, looking like an ordinary coachman.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, Cao Ba raised his eyebrows and looked over, Li Yunqing and the two teenagers were dressed in a low-key manner and walked over step by step.

Cao Ba casually raised his hand and motioned for him to be there.

Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't expect Cao Ba to be a coachman and send him off in person.

"Wow, I haven't ridden in a carriage since I'm so old."

Xuanyuan Qiyu ran over, touched the horse's head curiously, and looked at the carriage that looked a little shabby, as if it were a treasure.

Cao Ba tugged at the corners of his mouth, can he still be called a prince, he is simply a hairy boy who has never seen the world.

Xuanyuan Ran looked away in disgust, although he had never been in a carriage, but he was not as reckless as Xuanyuan Qiyu.

"I'll go up and have a look." Xuanyuan Qiyu climbed into the carriage three times and divided five by two, lifted the curtain and took a look inside, and burst out with an exclamation, "Wow"

I saw that there was a hole in the inconspicuous carriage, which looked very wide, covered with snow-white fox fur blankets, and on a low table of pear blossom wood in the middle, there were some pastries and flowers, and there was a lamp outside, and there were many dark compartments on the wall of the carriage.

Xuanyuan Qiyu walked over and opened a few looks, all of them were some water and dry food, as well as some silver tickets and daily necessities, and more specially, there were also a few packets of motion sickness medicine.

The motion sickness medicine is just some mint leaves, drink a little when you want to vomit, it should be better.

Li Yunqing was still pulled up by Cao Ba when he got into the carriage, this platform is a bit high, if he makes indecent movements, it is estimated that he will expose places that should not be exposed.

Xuanyuan Quercus also jumped up, sat quietly on the side, and pulled out a dark grid casually, which turned out to be full of bamboo books, and he happily took it out to read.

Li Yunqing and the three of them sat firmly, and Cao Ba shouted.

"Driving"

The horse walked slowly, and the carriage swayed towards the suburbs.

Li Yunqing sat in the innermost, gently lifted the curtain next to the car, the light and shadow between the leaves were dappled, it was still early in the morning, there was a trace of mist in the woods, and the birds fluttered their wings early and skimmed by, foraging for food.

She didn't change her face this time, because no one knew her when she left the imperial capital, and besides, the fat powder of her disguise seemed to have been taken away by Beiyejun.

I guess I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to recognize her when she was in danger.

But this time Li Yunqing must be foolproof, she inherited Miao Xiaobai's Gu technique, and Cao Ba is here, and those shadows will come one after another.

Who can move Li Yunqing, it is estimated that Da Luo Immortal can do it.

Xuanyuan Qiyu took some pastries and ate them, drank the water, and bored glanced at Xuanyuan Ran Quercus, who was reading seriously, and smacked his lips: "I really don't know what this book is good about, I think it has only one effect, that is, hypnosis, haha!" ”

Xuanyuan Quercus continued to look without raising his head, ignoring him at all.

"Hmph, dog minion." Xuanyuan Qiyu leaned on the wall of the carriage boredly, swaying, gradually falling asleep, closing his eyes, his white and green face, his eyelashes moved slightly, and he breathed evenly.

Early in the morning, he began to doze off, Xuanyuan Ran Que expressed his disgust, and couldn't help but move to the side, who knew that Xuanyuan Qiyu was about to fall asleep, shaking his head, and leaning on his shoulder!

And unconsciously rubbed it and continued to sleep.

Xuanyuan Quercus: ""

Pushed.

Lean in.

Pushed.

Lean in.

Xuanyuan Quercus: ""

His face was expressionless, and Xuanyuan Qiyu was still sleeping unconscious, using his shoulders as the most comfortable pillow, rubbing them from time to time.

Xuanyuan Ran Quercus was originally relatively thin, and he was about to be unable to support Xuanyuan Qiyu, and he was entangled in his face and wanted to throw him over directly.

But after thinking about it, I still forgot it, but the resentment in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but wipe my face heavily.

He said he shouldn't have brought this bale with him!

And Li Yunqing has been lifting the curtain next to her, looking out carelessly, the carriage is shaking, and her green silk is also swaying with an elegant arc.

The journey was destined to be long, and after an hour had passed, Cao Ba said outside the carriage: "We have passed the border of the imperial capital, and the next city is Weicheng." ”

Hearing this, Li Yunqing casually pulled out the dark grid, took out a cowhide map and looked at it, thinking in his heart.

Weicheng is the first city near the southwest region, it is quite prosperous, but it is much worse than the imperial capital, these trees are becoming more and more sparse along the way, I heard that although it is called Weicheng here, it does not fall for many years, resulting in barren crops, and the people complain of misery.

But I have also heard that there is a lot of ore produced here, and many rare ores are mined and used in various industries.

The best Mo used all kinds of precious stones, gold and silver, jasper, crystal, agate, and the rest were dark iron and the like, which could make weapons.

Therefore, Weicheng is also a city that produces a large number of cold weapons, and every year there will be weapons from Chengtun to the imperial capital, so the most important thing in Weicheng is the rich ore boss.

Moreover, they made weapons, secretly made them for outlaws, domesticated soldiers, got acquainted with high-ranking officials, and had such a high status that no one could provoke.

In Weicheng now, most of the people who sell vegetables and meat are from the city next door, and the local people can only live by mining ores.

This has created a situation in which the rich are rampant and domineering, and the poor cannot survive.

Li Yunqing pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Let's go into Weicheng and have a look." ”

She wants to see this place, some miners who oppress the people and collude with high-ranking officials should also have a few taels of blood.

"Okay." Cao Ba originally wanted to cross Weicheng directly, but since Li Yunqing was going in, he turned his horse's head around and drove all the way to Weicheng.

After speaking, Li Yunqing turned around and saw Xuanyuan Ranqi, who was pressed by Xuanyuan Qiyu, with a tense face, and almost couldn't help laughing.

In fact, Xuanyuan Ran Quercus can be pushed away hard, but he always remembers that Xuanyuan Qiyu is his younger brother, and because of his awkward character, he has been enduring it.

Li Yunqing smiled, and just wanted to open his mouth to relieve Xuanyuan Ran Quercus from the siege, when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Li Yunqing leaned forward sharply and frowned.

There was a chaotic sound outside, and Xuanyuan Qiyu also woke up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said in a daze: "Something happened, has it arrived?" ”

Xuanyuan Quercus patted his shoulder in disgust, leaned aside and continued to read.

I heard a loud noise outside.

"I planted this tree! I'm driving this way! You have to pass by from now on, and leave to buy road money! ”

Lee Yunqing and the two teenagers both frowned.

Such an unfortunate encounter with bandits?

Xuanyuan Ran, who was sitting on the outside, lifted the curtain, and the three of them looked at it together.

I saw that on some barren avenues, a team of men in ragged clothes but carrying big knives ran down from the bare hillside, and the fierce appearance was that the bandits did not run away.

However, it was not they who were robbed, but a carriage that looked rather ornate in front of them.

The carriage was covered with fine brocade, with beautiful tassels swaying, and hung with many treasures.

And there were only four guards around the carriage, which looked very easy to deal with.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the people in the carriage come out quickly, and leave all the money before they are allowed to pass!"

At the forefront was a bearded uncle, dressed in coarse cloth with a lot of patches, and speaking in a rough local dialect, shouting in fright.

"Wow, it's fat at first glance, and the brothers don't have to starve now!"

A group of juniors shouted happily in the back.

"Bold, do you know who is in the carriage, my young lady also dares to rob, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall!" The guard guarding the carriage drew his saber from his waist and looked at the bandits with disdain.

"I don't care who you are, get out of here!" The big man at the front walked over in a few steps, picked up the big knife and fought with the guards!

For a while, the avenue was full of the harsh sound of cold weapons colliding.

Li Yunqing and the two teenagers watched quietly, and Cao Ba snorted disdainfully and lowered the brim of his hat.

"Bang!"

The strength of the big man is very great, although he doesn't know martial arts, he also easily knocks down the two guards.

The guards rolled on the ground with a painful cry, but the big man no longer gave a ruthless hand, but roared viciously: "I have said everything, you leave all the treasures, and I will let you go!" ”

The guards were already a little scared, but at this moment

"Miss Ben will give you bandits? It's a fart! ”

A crisp female voice sounded in the carriage, and the curtain was slammed open, and a fat girl popped out.

The fat girl was wearing a valuable gold thread embroidered long skirt, wearing all kinds of bells and whistles, eating fat and fat, a pair of squinting eyes glanced at the bandit in front of her with extreme contempt, and snorted: "I'm phew!" They are all untouchables in the market, and they dare to shout in front of Miss Ben, believe it or not, Miss Ben's father is here, he picks your skin, and hangs your head at the entrance of the vegetable market! ”

The fat girl was scolding for a while, and her words were vicious and cruel, in her eyes, what was in front of her was not a person, but a lowly slave, who was not qualified to look at her, and wanted her treasure!

It's ridiculous!
