Chapter 593 - Mutual Aid
Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu came to the house of the leader, and the man lit the candle on the table. Chu Jiechen saw that this person was also an old man. "Old man, what is the secret of you doing this? Just tell us that maybe we can help you solve it," Chu Jiechen said.
The old man saw that he was either rich or expensive, and said that he was from the capital, and he had brought so many officers and soldiers, maybe he could really help them, so he relaxed his vigilance, slowly walked to the bedside, lit a cigarette gun, took a puff, and then said slowly, "I am the head of this village, although I am in the desert border city, but I rely on the water source, and the life in the village is passable." However, I don't know when it started, there are bandits in this desert, who come to harass us from time to time, and our lives are like chickens and dogs, and even the old ladies have been robbed by them! I hate it, but I can't help it," the old man's voice choked, tears welling up in his eyes.
When Chu Jiechen heard this, he roughly understood the general situation, in fact, the desert was originally a border area, and it was not easy to govern, and some officials had reported it before, at that time, the important ministers in the east planned to rebel, and the important forces were concentrated in the east, so it was put on hold here. Thinking about it this way, it was his mistake, and he couldn't help but be a little ashamed, he was still not thoughtful enough.
"So, you're pretending that everyone in the village has escaped?" Qin Liusu probably understood, and said slowly.
"Otherwise, there is no other way, and I can't fight with them, and I have reacted with the government a few times, but there is no response" The old man smoked the old cigarette gun in his hand again.
He also said, "We have a deserted village here, and the government is far away from us, which has fueled the atmosphere of those people."
Chu Juechen probably knew that the bandits in the old man's mouth were in the same group as the people he met today, and it was estimated that he had taken a fancy to the food on their horses and was about to grab it, but he didn't expect to meet the Praetorian Guards in the palace.
"Uncle, don't worry, we will leave some guards here when we leave, those bandits will not dare to invade again, and when I return from the desert, I will definitely find a way to eliminate the bandits and restore you to peace" Chu Jiechen said with his hands behind his back.
"That's the best, by the way, you're going to the desert?" The old man put down his cigarette gun and smelled.
"Well, old man, do you know how to get there? We walked and lost our way. I'm worried," Qin Liusu approached the old man and said.
"That's right, it's almost half a day's journey to get inside, tonight, you will rest here and recuperate, the temperature is low this night, you can't walk much, we have a spring here, you can go there to get water," the old man said slowly.
"Well, uncle, you are so nice!" Qin Liusu said with a smile.
"Hmph, you get water, just rest early, you two husbands and wives sleep here, I'll go outside to sleep in the firewood room" The old man took the cigarette gun and prepared to leave.
"Alas, uncle, I am dressed as a man, how do you know that I am a girl, and you know that we are husband and wife?" Qin Liusu's eyes widened with curiosity.
"Heh, my old man has lived for most of his life, I don't know anything" Then he walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, leaving Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu looking at each other.
After resting in the village for a night, leaving a part of the Praetorian Guards to guard the village, Qin Liusu and Chu Juechen took the rest of the people to set off again under the morning sun along the road pointed out by the old man.
"Su'er, after coming to the desert this time, you won't be running here." Chu Jiechen pursed his lips and looked at Qin Liusu dissatisfied, although he was invited by Bei Heyuan to come over this time, but looking at the attitude of the second prince of the desert towards his little sister before, he had to keep an eye on it, so as not to rekindle Bei Heyuan's old feelings for his little sister in the future, which would be very troublesome.
Qin Liusu raised his head, looked at Chu Juechen with a resentful woman, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Second brother, Dachuan already has a beloved, you better put away your vinegar jar." ”
Chu Jiechen raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance leisurely, "Su'er, Bei Heyuan is really affectionate, I can't guarantee that I won't rekindle my old feelings for you!" ”
Qin Liusu rolled his eyes, shook his fan and walked forward, walked a few steps, then turned back again, and said, "Second brother, it's better not to say this on the day of the wedding banquet, otherwise, when the time comes, Dachuan will blow you out, and I don't care." After speaking, Qin Liusu turned around and walked towards the palace again.
"Little sister, you are willing!" Chu Jiechen gritted his teeth and said.
"What's so reluctant to do that, you'll have a place to stay anyway."
Chu Jiechen pursed his lips and followed dissatisfiedly, forget it, it's better not to quarrel with the little sister, save the cheap Bei Heyuan.
The two walked a few steps and arrived at the palace.
"I didn't expect Dachuan to mix well in the desert, this palace is really magnificent." Qin Liusu looked at the magnificent mansion and couldn't help but admire, although the architecture in the palace is even more exquisite, but it is really rare to have such an atmospheric mansion on this border.
Chu Juechen raised his eyes and looked at it, with a hint of amazement in his eyes, the craftsmen of this desert are also unique, the eaves are probably designed to resist the perennial wind and sand of this desert, and the glazed bricks and tiles make this mansion more unique.
"I didn't expect that Beihe Yuan looked like that, and this palace is pleasing to the eye." Chu Juechen nodded and exclaimed.
Qin Liusu squinted, looked at Chu Jiechen with a smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, it is no longer possible for me to be with Dachuan, if you are messing around like this, when the time comes, when you return to the capital, I will live in my mother's house for a while." ”
Chu Juechen looked at Qin Liusu aggrievedly, the little sister knows how to shut him up the most, if she really lets her go home and live for a while, I don't know if she will return to the palace!
"Okay, second brother, let's go in, I can't wait to see what the bride looks like." Qin Liusu said, and hurriedly walked to the door.
"Stop." The little guy stretched out his hand to stop Qin Liusu, and then looked up and down before asking, "Who are you?" ”
The corners of Qin Liusu's mouth rose and he smiled slightly, "I was invited to attend your prince's wedding banquet. ”
"Wedding?" The little guy looked at Qin Liusu suspiciously, and then asked respectfully, "Our prince does have a wedding banquet recently, but I don't know if the two of you have an invitation?" ”
Invitations, where did they get the invitations, the only letters that can prove it were burned by her!
Qin Liusu smiled and said softly, "We don't have an invitation, and even the letter from the prince was left behind by me, so it's better to inform your prince like this." ”
When the little girl heard that the two of them did not have an invitation, she suddenly became vigilant, after all, at this time, there were also many people with bad intentions who wanted to mix into the mansion, and the prince was busy dealing with the wedding banquet recently, where did he get the time to meet the two in front of him.
"I'm sorry, two, our prince went to the palace to meet the king, and I ask you two to come back later." The little guy hung his head and smiled decently.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Qin Liusu's eyes, but there was still a smile on his face, "In this case, then we will come back later, but please tell the prince when he comes back, and say that two old acquaintances have been invited to come and see him." ”
The little guy smiled and nodded, "Okay, the villain will tell the prince." ”
Qin Liusu glanced at the little guy coldly, and after turning around, the smile on his face disappeared, "Second brother, since this main gate doesn't let us in, then let's use our own methods to enter." ”
"Okay." Chu Juechen smiled gloatingly, now the second prince of the Northern Desert is about to suffer.
The two walked to the wall, measured the height, and jumped onto the wall with a leap.
Qin Liusu stood at the head of the wall, glanced at the palace leisurely, and then said with a smile, "This palace is beautifully arranged, and fortunately, the little guy just now knows some doorways, otherwise this beautiful arrangement may be ruined." ”
Chu Juechen's forehead was full of black lines, "Little sister, you always remind me not to ruin other people's weddings, why are you going to ruin this place now!" ”
Qin Liusu tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, how could she not be angry, she was full of joy when she arrived in the desert, but she was stopped at the door, and if she wanted to put aside her previous temperament, she would have already thrown her hands and left, where would she be tired and climb the high wall!
"Second brother, since they are afraid that someone with bad intentions will break into the palace, then let's scare them today." As soon as the words fell, Qin Liusu jumped into the courtyard, and deliberately kicked a stone when he landed, knocking down the tiles on the eaves.
Chu Juechen helplessly held his forehead, but his tone was doting, "Little sister, don't hurt." ”
"Second brother, how could the people here hurt me!" Qin Liusu pursed her lips, although the martial arts of the guards in this palace should not be bad, but in her opinion, it was just a fist embroidered leg.
"Yes, yes, little sister, you are the most powerful, even if there are hundreds of people, you can solve it easily." Chu Jiechen curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Qin Liusu gently.
As they spoke, the two of them were already surrounded by the guards of the palace.
"Who are you?" The one at the head carefully looked at Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu, and then asked coldly.
Qin Liusu chuckled, shook his fan, and looked at everyone lazily, "Today, I am in a little unhappy, so I want to find the guards of the palace to practice." ”
The leader was a little uncomfortable by Qin Liusu's words, and he glared at Qin Liusu angrily, "Bold, what are you doing with this palace!" Teasing us like this! ”
This simple drink, if you call someone else to meet it, I am afraid that it will be frightened, but what kind of person is Qin Liusu, where would she be afraid of the scolding of the guards, she looked at the wall casually, and looked at everyone leisurely, "Unfortunately, I really don't put this palace in my eyes." ”
"Wait for the night, I advise you to leave quickly, don't mess around here, otherwise don't blame us for being polite."
"You're welcome." Saying that, Qin Liusu took the lead in charging forward.
Everyone was unexpected, and they hid to both sides for a while.
