Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Poignant Tale
Uncle Li, the coachman, also knew that this young man who had always been a woman dressed as a man, and he had the audacity to marry the beautiful young lady of the Luo family in Yancheng, he was surprised and a little suspicious at the same time.
Now these three little girls are going straight to Phoenix again, which is really bold enough.
He will not ask more about the privacy of his employer, and will only bury all his doubts in the bottom of his heart.
Since you are a hired driver, you must try your best to do your job, talk less and do more.
However, after so many days of getting along with Yancheng, Uncle Li also knows that Yin Yi's ability is very strong, which is not comparable to ordinary people, and the current car is not an idle person, as long as he serves with all his heart, he will definitely not suffer any losses, but will open his eyes and see more things.
"That's good! I believe in Uncle Li's ability! If you make it to Phoenix, this girl will have a big reward! β
"Gotcha! Girl, whether there is a silver reward or not, the little one will send you and the people in the carriage to the place safely! β
Yin Yi likes Uncle Li the most, he is honest and loyal, his actions are quick, he doesn't say what he shouldn't say, and he doesn't ask what he shouldn't ask.
That's why she treated him generously and kept hiring him to drive.
After all, it's not so easy to find another person who is handy.
She is a person who is extremely afraid of trouble.
After a few days of half-traveling and half-hurrying, the three female dolls who were not afraid of the sky and the earth finally arrived in Phoenix City in the middle of the afternoon.
"Sister Yiyi, you see that there are so many people at the city gate!"
The carriage was blocked some distance from the city gate, and Tang Demon couldn't wait to open the sedan curtain and look out.
Yin Yi and Ni Shang were also a little confused, and lifted the curtain to look out.
There is a long queue at the gate of the city, and there are a lot of carriages at the gate, and it seems that there are a lot of people entering the city today!
"Going around and around, stumbling, it's finally here! But how can it be so congested? β
Nishang was a little puzzled, I didn't think it was so difficult to enter the city when I came to Phoenix before?
"Nishang, you and your maid should change into men's clothes, your appearance is too easy to attract attention! Demon, you also change into men's clothes, our four girls are away from home, it's better to keep a low profile! Before you enter the city, hurry up and prepare, and after entering the city, you must always pay attention to hiding your identity as a woman. I'll go down and ask someone about what is going on here, and you guys can help each other disguise themselves in the car! β
Yin Yi found a few sets of ordinary and simple men's clothes out of nowhere, threw them to the other three stupid Nizi in the car who couldn't figure out the situation, and then jumped out of the carriage lightly.
"Little boy, why don't I inquire! Why do you need to do it yourself? β
The coachman's uncle saw that Yin Yi jumped out of the carriage and wanted to ask about these trivial matters in person, he felt that this should be his business, and he should not let the employer go out in person, and he disapproved of it.
"It's okay, Uncle Li, I'm idle, I'm idle, I might be able to have a good time if I go and inquire, it won't take much effort. Now it's blocked, it's blocked, and you can wait for me here for a while! Protect them and don't let anyone near the carriage, you know? β
"Don't worry, Childe!"
Uncle Li saw that the dissuasion could not be achieved, so he did not say much.
"You do things, I don't worry!"
Yin Yi patted Uncle Li's shoulder boldly, waved his hand to the back casually, and then shook his fan very coquettishly and walked towards the crowded convoy in front.
"Dare to ask the eldest brother, do you know why the city gate is so crowded today?"
Yin Yi asked the man who was queuing up to pull a cart of firewood and grass, seeing that he was not in a hurry and was fanning the wind with his hat, she guessed that he should be a frequent visitor to and from the city.
"This is the first time I've come to Phoenix, right? No wonder I don't know. Isn't the King Chef Contest going to start these days, people from all over the world have come here to join in the fun, how can you not block it! β
Speaking of which, the man was so embarrassed, with a look of pride as a citizen of Phoenix.
Yin Yi looked at his embarrassed appearance, pursed his lips secretly, and didn't say anything.
"What's more, Princess Ziwei and the general of the horse hussars are coming to Phoenix City recently, and the city is in full swing to prepare for the welcome ceremony of these two big men, and everyone who enters the city is strictly checked at the city gate, so as to prevent assassins with bad intentions from mixing into the city, so they are heavily guarded and tested, so that our speed into the city is much slower."
The man was also a real person, and when he saw this handsome young man humbly asking, he told all the gossip he knew.
"That's no wonder! It seems that the origin of this princess Ziwei and the general's colt is not small! It is really magnificent to let the famous Phoenix City be so fanfare and wait for it! β
Yin Yi didn't think that it was because of the big people coming to the city, didn't the big guys generally pay private interviews to microservices?
This princess is really high-profile, for fear that the assassin doesn't know where she is, I'm afraid she's a barbaric princess!
She closed the fan, looked at the guards in front of her, and then looked at the long convoy behind, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Gongzi is not from our Nanyue Kingdom, is he?"
The man glanced at Yin Yi like an idiot, which made her very inexplicable.
"Uh, what do you say?"
Yin Yi was stunned, and said, she didn't know what country she was from!
The devil knows!
"This princess crape myrtle is the most favored little princess of His Majesty today, she can sing and dance, and she can be said to be a golden flower of the royal family of Nanyue. Although his temperament is a little arrogant, who makes his family a golden branch and jade leaf! Besides, this horse, the majestic hussar general Zurich, is a national hero admired by us in South Vietnam. He is suave, handsome and talented, he is a general of a country, gentle and close to the people in private, without a little shelf, this kind of dragon among people, I don't know if he is the dream lover of many girls and children in Nanyue! In addition, the father of the horse is a high-powered existence, and that is Lord Su Ying, the general of the Zhenguo who made great military achievements back then! Don't underestimate these two young masters, but they are both expensive! Those are the treasures in the emperor's heart, the darlings of the powerful in the dynasty, even if it is the city lord of Phoenix City, who is our dominant side, how dare he snub these two little ancestors! β
The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, the more energetic he became, and when he saw more and more listeners gathered around him, he was even more foaming.
"Oh, I see, it sees, it's lonely and unheard!"
Yin Yi wiped the sweat that didn't exist, this man really has some storytelling skills, this is really a sincere speech!
"You really don't know too little, you don't even know about the two famous big names in our South Vietnam country, and the news is really too closed! Hehe, seeing that you are so ignorant and pitiful, then I will secretly tell you another rumor, so that you can have a long insight. Come here, this is a royal secret, and most people don't know about it! β
The more the man talked, the more addicted he became, he deliberately showed off his mystery, and his mysterious appearance made everyone can't help but lean over with their ears.
Although Yin Yi despises this kind of trickery, however, women are born to gossip, so they can pick up royal secrets, how can she miss it?
So she closed the fan anyway and leaned over very unproductively.
"I heard that after the horse returned to Beijing victoriously, the princess personally came to the door to show her love, but was politely rejected by our handsome horse on the spot. The arrogant Princess Ziwei was unwilling, and returned to the palace to cry to the emperor aggrievedly, and the emperor was furious and ordered to severely punish the concubine who did not know what to do. But Ziwei pleaded so much, and the emperor loved his daughter very much, so he reluctantly let go of the horse. But the princess couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles, and the emperor finally drafted a marriage will, and ordered the princess and the concubine to get married on a certain date. β
He looked at the crowd who were listening intently to him, swallowed, and wanted to sell it.
"Later, you hurry up!"
Someone who couldn't wait had already begun to urge him, and he smiled smugly and continued.
"How could General Su of Zurich, such a heroic figure, accept this decree so gladly? What's more, it is rumored that General Su and the cousin of the county lord of the Zhennan Wang family are in love with each other, and they have reached the point where they are about to talk about marriage, how can he easily agree to this forced marriage? But once the king's decree is made, how can the general resist the decree and disobey it? In addition, the loyal General Su Ying privately forced each other with filial piety and loyalty. In desperation, General Su had no choice but to marry the princess. It's a pity that the little county lord of the Zhennan Wang family, who is as beautiful as a flower, was robbed of his fiancΓ© for no reason. It is said that the little county lord is also a lovely man with both civil and military skills, and he is not inferior to Princess Ziwei. It's a pity that since General Su's wedding, she has been depressed in her heart, and she has been lingering on the sickbed, accompanied by decoction for a long time, and never left the house at a step. Alas, what a trick! β
The man looked gloating at first, but in the end, his mood slowly lowered.
After hearing this, everyone also looked very sad, maybe for the horse, maybe for the poor little lord, or maybe nothing.
It's someone else's business, isn't it?
Yin Yi listened carefully to this poignant story told by this enthusiastic man, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad for the little county lord.
But the grief didn't last long, and she was soon relieved.
She is the kind of person who is more optimistic, and she will not be easily affected by the sadness of others.
Maybe in the end, the little county lord will have another good home.
And these two so-called big men seem to be quite talented men and women on the surface. A beautiful princess with a mighty general, one is brutal and the other is tender, even if the process is tortuous, but in the eyes of others who don't know the truth, it must be a perfect match.
People are all color-eating animals, and even if their eyes are deceived by beautiful things, they feel excusable.
However, Yin Yi wondered, didn't this legendary king of Nanyue always be scheming and suspicious? Step by step, how could he so easily promise this favored princess to a hereditary general supported by the people?
