Chapter 473: Arriving at the Destination
"Since we met here, we might as well go and say hello." Xu Chen thought about it and said, who knew that as soon as his words came out, he was opposed by Xu Shiyin, the princess of Northern Xinjiang next to him.
"Why greetings? When we meet, we meet, and we'll meet again when we get to Izumo Country, so there's no need to greet you halfway. Xu Shiyin was very dissatisfied.
"But since we've all met, it's not appropriate not to greet us."
"If there's anything inappropriate, just pretend you didn't see it and just leave." Xu Shiyin didn't give up, holding Xu Chen's hand and not letting him leave.
Xu Chen had no choice but to order the convoy to continue moving, Li Luobing sat in the carriage, thinking that the people from the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom would come over and ask him, who would have thought that their convoy would go first.
"Princess, the convoy of the Northern Frontier has left, and they are too rude." Qiao Su looked outside and said to Li Luobing.
Although Li Luobing was a little puzzled in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's keep going!" That saved her the trouble of dealing with them.
"Tell the people in front of you to slow down." Li Luobing said after thinking about it.
She didn't want to get too close to the Northern Frontier Country, so she could only distance herself one after the other, and let them enter the city when the time came, and they would just go in after a while.
"Yes, Princess." Qiao Su conveyed Li Luobing's words to the guards in front, and the speed of the convoy really slowed down.
After the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom took the lead and left, Xu Chen also paid attention to the situation of the Mingyue Country convoy behind him from time to time.
"Where have they gone now?" Xu Chen asked the guard.
"Back to the prince, it seems that the convoy of Mingyue Kingdom has deliberately slowed down, and it is getting farther and farther away from us."
"Count them as acquaintances." Xu Shiyin heard a cold snort, "It's already okay for our Northern Frontier Kingdom to pay tribute to Mingyue Kingdom, what else do you want, if they dare to surpass us, they must not be spared." ”
Looking at Xu Shiyin's reaction, Xu Chen frowned: "It's okay for you to talk about it here, after you arrive in Izumo Country, you must not say such words, the two of us represent Northern Xinjiang, and now that Northern Xinjiang Country and Mingyue Country have nominally reconciled, so you must not cause unnecessary trouble."
"I'm just talking, how can there be trouble." Xu Shiyin pouted and said.
Xu Chen looked at her without saying a word, and after a while, Xu Shiyin nodded reluctantly: "I know, I just remember."
When the convoy of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom came to the gate of Izumo Kingdom, there were already people greeting them, but these people were not as enthusiastic as the ones who greeted Chu Ruojun before, and the reaction of the people was also very average.
After all, the Northern Frontier Country did not have a lot of interactions with them before, and the princes and princesses of the Northern Frontier Country were not particularly famous, so the enthusiasm of the people was not high at all.
"What's going on? Why are these people the only ones who pick us up? Xu Shiyin opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out secretly.
Xu Chen glanced at her and immediately asked her to put down her hand.
"Don't look outside, no matter how many people receive us, we just have to move forward, have you forgotten what your father told us when we came? You must not cause trouble here. ”
When they came, the king of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom had instructed them to pay attention to the movements of the other two countries, although the Northern Xinjiang is now subservient to the Mingyue Kingdom, but there may be a day to turn over in the future.
"Got it, got it, you've said it many times along the way, I've memorized it."
Xu Shiyin was very impatient, and after lowering the curtain on the carriage, she sat in the corner and stopped talking to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen looked at Xu Shiyin very helplessly, his sister has been spoiled since she was a child, she is very willful, and she never thinks about the consequences when she does things, so she can only stare at it more.
"I've seen the prince, the princess, the inn for the two of you is ready." The ceremonial officer said to them in front of the carriage, and the two looked at each other before getting out of the carriage and following the ceremonial officer into the inn.
"This is your room." The ceremonial officer led them to the door of the room and left.
Xu Shiyin pushed open the door and looked inside, the space was not big or small, and it was clean and tidy, Xu Chen was very satisfied, but Xu Shiyin was very dissatisfied.
"What kind of broken place is this, not even half of our northern Xinjiang is not comparable, I have never lived in such a broken inn, no, let them go to another one."
Xu Shiyin picked faults everywhere after going around the room, and wanted to go out to call the official back just now, but was stopped by Xu Chen.
"I think it's very good here, it's very suitable for living, you're used to living in the palace, so naturally you can't see such a place, but since you're in Izumo Country, you can follow the local customs, don't be picky anymore."
Xu Chen persuaded Xu Shiyin again, since leaving the Northern Frontier Country, Xu Shiyin has had many complaints along the way, and the whole person he has persuaded is a little numb.
"Brother, I'm tired of listening to your nagging along the way." At this time, Xu Shiyin also came to add fuel to the fire.
"If you weren't so willful, how could I possibly say these things to you?" Xu Chen slapped the table and glared at Xu Shiyin, Xu Shiyin saw that Xu Chen was really angry, so she couldn't help but shrink back, closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak.
Don't look at her usual willfulness, but in front of this brother, if he is really angry, he is still very scared.
After sitting in the room and resting for a while, Xu Chen thought of the convoy of Mingyue Kingdom behind him.
"Someone."
"What does the prince command?" Hearing his call, the guards walked in and stood beside him.
"Let's take a look at whether the convoy of Mingyue Country has arrived, and if so, ask them which inn they live in, and we can meet them when the time comes, after all, the relationship between the two countries is not bad on the surface."
"Yes, Prince." The guards were ordered to leave.
When the people of the Northern Frontier Kingdom had already begun to rest at the inn, Li Luobing and the others had just arrived at the gate of Izumo Kingdom.
The closer he got to Izumo Country, the more nervous Li Luobing's heart became, there were quite a few people who had a relationship with him here, whether it was Tuoba Luoxia or Chu Ruoyao, they all had a lot to do with her.
"Why is it so lively outside?"
Li Luobing was attracted by the noisy sound outside, and she wanted to lift the carriage curtain to look out, but Qiao Su reached out and stopped her.
"Princess, don't look at it, there are many people in Izumo Country outside, they have gathered here after hearing about your relationship with King Yan, if you look out, I'm afraid it will ......"
Qiao Su's words were not finished, if Li Luobing looked out at this time, I am afraid that it would attract more people's attention, and when the time came, they would be surrounded by water, and it would be difficult to even move forward.
Hearing Qiao Su say this, Li Luobing nodded clearly: "Okay, I know."
She withdrew her outstretched hand, sat down honestly in the carriage, and let the convoy move forward.
"Princess, the inn has arrived. There was already a ceremonial officer waiting outside. The guard said to Li Luobing across the carriage.
After learning that she had arrived at her destination, Li Luobing covered her face with a veil, and Qiaosu helped her get out of the carriage and quickly entered the inn with the ceremonial officer. The people wanted to see Li Luobing's true face, but they didn't expect to see only a figure flashing, and then the person disappeared.
"Have you seen what the princess of Mingyue Kingdom looks like?"
"No, I didn't see it." The people asked each other.
"It is said that this princess used to be Princess Yan, and now King Yan is going to marry our princess, what is the relationship between this and our princess...... Tut-tut......"
The people with good deeds briefly explained the relationship between the several of them, and the people were speechless after hearing it, and they felt that it was a mess.
Li Luobing bowed her head and walked into the inn before she breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect her arrival to attract the attention of so many people, it seems that she has to stay in the inn all this time without leaving the house.
"Princess, this is your room." The ceremonial officer brought her to the door of a room and stopped.
"I'm tired." Li Luobing nodded in thanks.
This made the ceremonial officer a little surprised, and there were many people he had brought with him, and no one would take the initiative to thank him like Li Luobing, and his good impression of Li Luobing suddenly soared in his heart.
"The princess is serious, this is what the lower officials should do, if there is any need, just mention it."
Li Luobing nodded and walked into the room, and after sitting down, he looked around through the crack in the door.
This is on the second floor of the inn, and there is a row of houses on the other side of the inn, and there are several guards at the door, and it seems that there are already people.
"Qiaosu, do you know who lives on the other side?"
"If you go back to the princess, it seems that the prince and princess of the Northern Frontier country live opposite."
Qiao Su was a little embarrassed when she said this, she still remembers how the prince and princess of the Northern Frontier Kingdom ignored Li Luobing when they were on the road, and now the two groups of people actually live under the same roof, maybe there will be some friction in between.
"Northern Frontier? Why is it the Northern Frontier again? Li Luobing was also very surprised by this matter, it seems that the people of Izumo Country deliberately arranged their two groups of people together.
"I don't know about the slave maid, but the slave maid has inquired, and the situation of two groups of people living in the same inn like this is quite rare in the history of Izumo Province."
Hearing this, Li Luobing was even more sure that Izumo Kingdom did this on purpose, but there was no way, she didn't want to cause trouble during this time, as long as she tried to stagger the time with them, she wouldn't meet them, and there would be less trouble!
Li Luobing thought quite well, but the prince and princess who had never seen him on the other side didn't think so.
"Prince," the people from the Bright Moon Kingdom have arrived, and they are staying in the same inn as us, just across from us. ”
"What? Just across the street from us? When Xu Chen heard this, he stood up suddenly, pushed the door open a crack and looked this way, and sure enough, he saw people in different costumes from his own country.
