78.078 This faint king, it's really hidden
"Master Kong, check it out, and be careful. โ
Kong Yiming knew that he was asking him to check on Qin Xiaoyu, but what was there to check for a eunuch? Even if this little eunuch would soar in the future, at most he would become a big eunuch in the palace who was red through half the sky, but no matter how big or small the eunuch was, he was just a waste person who could not pass on the ancestry.
When Qin Xiaoyu left Shangshu Mansion, he hired a carriage and headed towards the east of the city.
"Old Li Tou, please hurry up. Qin Xiaoyu lifted the curtain and said to the horseman.
Lao Li held the stiff rope, and the horsewhip whipped the brown and black old horse hard, and the horse didn't necessarily run faster, so he had to say to Qin Xiaoyu, "Official, it's not that I don't want to be fast, it's that this horse is running slowly." Business is good in the shop tonight, and all the good horses have been hired, and you're late. Monkey"
Qin Xiaoyu sighed, what else can I do, it's too late to go back and find a stable to change horses at this time, so I can only do it.
"Gotcha, gotcha. I knew I had hired a donkey. Widows"
With that, she lowered the curtain, got into the carriage, found a comfortable position, sat down, and nibbled on the hot buns with tea.
This rush was one day, and when I saw that the sky was dark, I rushed to Wanshan Village at the foot of the mountain in the east of the city.
The village road is crooked and narrow, the carriage can't get in, and when it comes to the intersection, it stops, Qin Xiaoyu jumps out of the carriage, and in the carriage is the gift she prepared for her godmother, and she can't get it in alone.
"You help me move the things in the carriage, and I'll pay you an extra tael, okay?"
If you have money, how can it be bad? It's just to move some things into the village, Lao Li Tou smiled and said, "Okay." โ
Lao Li is a little old, but he often does farm work, his physique is strong, and his strength is not small, so he moved down the bags of oil, salt, rice and noodles in the carriage, as well as two jars of sorghum wine, and carried them on his shoulders, and easily entered the village.
The road in this village is not easy to walk, the sky is getting darker and darker, and it is still a little difficult to walk by taking the road by moonlight, so Qin Xiaoyu took the fire fold and polished it and walked forward.
"Official, you bought so much food, but you went back to your hometown to visit your relatives?"
This road is lonely, only to hear the lively insect chirping of crickets on both sides of the village road, and the darkness, Lao Li Tou asked with or without a match, looking for some topics to relieve boredom.
"Come and see my mother, I haven't been back for a while. โ
Qin Xiaoyu came to Wanshan Village three years ago, she was only 13 years old that year, and she came here with her mother to collect medicine, she still remembered the small medical hall full of medicinal fragrance, but it was burned by the bully called Lei Shi in the village.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I turned left and right, and came to a small thatched hut, "That's it, you go to the carriage and wait for me first, and I will talk to my mother for a while and then go back, without delay." โ
Lao Li bowed, this official is really weird, this night road is difficult, it's not very good to go back together, and I don't invite him in to drink a glass of water, as if he is hiding it, but this little official is the owner, he can only obey his orders, nodded, put things at the door, and said, "This road is difficult to walk, official, you can be careful when you go back." โ
After all, what I want to say to my godmother later is very important, and it is also about her life, and it can't be heard by outsiders.
Seeing Lao Li's figure disappear, she lifted the padded jacket and mattress in her hand, knocked on the door, and after a while, a kind old woman came out to open the door, and looked at Qin Xiaoyu at the door slightly, only looking a little familiar, but she couldn't tell who it was?
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
After recognizing this godmother, she came to visit once a year during the Chinese New Year, it has been half a year since the last time, and when she saw Aunt Zhao again, she was excited and tears welled up, she took off her eunuch hat and hugged the woman in front of her tightly with a cotton jacket, "A-Niang, I am Jin'er, Xiao Jin'er." I brought your favorite osmanthus cake to see you. โ
Aunt Zhao was stunned, is this person really Jin'er? Jin'er is much more beautiful than her, but her voice is very similar to Xiao Jin'er, and she knows that she loves to eat osmanthus cake the most, she thought about it in a blink of an eye, Xu is Jin'er's family has an accident.
"Xiao Jin'er, what's wrong with you, dressed up like this to see your godmother? Also, what about your mother?"
Qin Xiaoyu looked behind him and made sure that there was no one behind him, so he carried the gift into the house, "A-Niang, it's a long story, let's go in and talk." โ
After closing the door, Qin Xiaoyu made a long story short, and told Aunt Zhao everything about what she had encountered in the past few days, as well as the disappearance of her mother.
Such a good mother and daughter encountered such great difficulties, it is really blindless, good people are many disasters, and wicked people are free, Aunt Zhao sighed, "At the beginning, Ah Niang, my family had a great change, was bullied by bullies, and almost broke the family, thanks to the help of your mother and daughter, I survived." Anyway, your eldest brother Huzi went out to learn art a few months ago, if someone comes to ask, I will say that you are my son, not to mention that there are few families in this poor and remote country, and it is easy to conceal it. Then you will be on an errand in the palace with peace of mind, and you will get out as soon as you have the opportunity. It's not easy for one of your daughters to be a little eunuch. โ
Qin Xiaoyu knew that after going to Shangshu Mansion this time, her identity would be easily exposed, and it would affect the entire Xia Mansion, even if she was not exposed now, she would have to take precautions, she was already walking on the cusp of the blade, she did not allow herself to have a little accident, she had to save her life to go back to see her father.
After a few more words with Aunt Zhao, she left, she had to go back before the palace gate was closed, she only told the prince for a day's leave, saying that she was back to visit her mother at home.
I went back along the same road and walked to the intersection, but found that Lao Li Tou was not there.
br>
p > night wind blowing, the smell of the earth in the mountains mixed with a trace of blood, she shook the fire fold in her hand hard, and then took a few steps closer to the carriage, and vaguely saw some fresh blood on the ground, I was afraid that Lao Li Tou was killed?
In this deserted village, didn't you encounter bandits?
No, this old Li Tou doesn't look like a rich man, this carriage is also dilapidated, and it's an old horse, what can those robbers want?
Suddenly, there was movement in the grass, and the sword was refracted by the moonlight and then turned into a cold white light, she had a bad heart, these people were going to deal with her.
She hurriedly threw the fire fold, jumped into the carriage on the spot, pulled up the stiff rope, turned the head of the carriage, and ran up the hill.
If you run to the village, you are afraid that you will be affected, if you go back to the original road, you are afraid that there will be an ambush, and now you can only run to the mountain, she remembers that there is a Fahua Temple on the mountain, and there are many people, and these gangsters dare not do it.
"It's not good, Qin Xiaoyu is going to run away, let's chase after it. โ
She whipped the old horse hard, but the old horse refused to run and froze in place, seeing the silver sword in the hands of those men in black pointing directly at her, she was so frightened that her legs trembled, she patted the horse's buttocks, and had to say to it, "Horse, I was caught by those thieves, not only did I die, but I am afraid that you will also be slaughtered and eaten." I beg you to run quickly. โ
The horse seemed to have spirituality, as if it understood her words, raised its head and neighed, and the horse's hooves flew and galloped straight up the mountain.
While she was driving the horse, she turned her head to look, those men in black hurriedly pulled out the horses from behind the tree and chased after them, it seems that these people followed her from Chang'an City to here, who could it be?
I don't have time to think about it at this time, it's important to escape.
It's just that no matter how spiritual this horse is, it is also an old bone, and it drags a two-wheeled carriage, which can't be compared with the young and strong horses of the man in black.
Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, and the junction at the bend in front of her was narrower, was she going to die in the wilderness today?
She was frustrated, but she still didn't give up, waved the whip in her hand, and whipped it the horse, "Ride." Drive. โ
"No matter how hard you struggle, you're dead. Qin Xiaoyu, you better surrender honestly, maybe I can give you a sword and let you die a happy death. โ
Behind her, the leader of the man in black shouted at her on his horse, his voice playful, like she was the prey, they were the hunters, and they wanted to have the fun of this hunt and kill game.
If Lao Tzu obediently goes to die, Lao Tzu is a fool.
At that moment, a carriage rushed out of the bend in front of her, and she and the groom on the opposite side pulled the stiff rope in time to prevent the two carriages from colliding.
The two horses neighed and pierced the night sky, especially in the silent mountains.
After stabilizing the carriage, the black-clothed men behind him also stopped, and shouted again, "Qin Xiaoyu, how do you still escape?"
Yes, the carriage in front of her was blocking her way, and she really had nowhere to run.
The coachman in the carriage opposite had a cold black face like a baogong, and his expression was as cold and solemn as that of Waiter Wu, and he turned around and asked respectfully, "Master, is it in the way?"
The man in black had already dismounted and approached her, with a murderous aura, Qin Xiaoyu frowned, holding an unyielding heart, and quickly jumped out of the carriage and retreated step by step.
Squinted eyes swept to the carriage opposite, the corner of the carriage and the prince's carriage are hung with exquisite bronze palace bells, the top cover is red red, very flamboyant and luxurious, just say that this horse is a sweaty BMW that can travel thousands of miles a day, this is not an ordinary person's carriage.
As soon as her eyes moved, she ran towards the carriage, but before she could get close to the carriage, the groom quickly drew a soft sword from his waist and yelled at her, "Stop"
There are really hungry wolves and tigers in the back, Qin Xiaoyu has a sense in her heart, the master in this carriage is the same as her enemy, and he is not easy to mess with.
Qin Xiaoyu could only stand still, not daring to take another step forward, she knew that if she moved one more step, the horseman would jump up from the car and seal her throat with a sword, making her blood splash on the spot.
However, this made her more convinced that since the people in the carriage were not ordinary people, they had enough strength to save her.
"In Xia Qin, Xiaoyu is a slave in the palace of King Yan, and unfortunately met this gang of robbers who want to take my life. The kind man in the car, please save my life in front of the prince. Afterwards, I will reward you with a great deal for saving your life. โ
Qin Xiaoyu looked at the carriage opposite, and said tremblingly, she showed the name of Yan Wangye, and only hoped that this person had some friendship with Wang Ye and could save her.
A long, white finger lifted the curtain, slowly leaned out of the car, and hooked at her.
She was so happy, this is what she meant to let her pass, it seems that the name of Lord Yan is still quite useful.
The groom was a little unhappy, turned his face sideways, and snorted, "Master......"
Qin Xiaoyu's little short legs ran fast, and she ran to the carriage with a slick of effort, but the black-clothed people behind her were dissatisfied, and with a whoosh, a silver sword was thrown at her, and the horseman's good kung fu did not separate the sword for her, fortunately, she still had some three-legged cat kung fu, one sideways, avoiding the sword that came straight into the disease, and the sword was nailed into the carriage, Qin Xiaoyu looked at the sword that shook slightly in front of him, and thought, if he was inserted, wouldn't he die on the spot?
She frowned and looked at the leader of the man in black who threw the sword, and the man only said, "If you have to save this little eunuch, then you can't get along with our Tianyi gang." There is only a dead end that we can't get along with our Tianyi gang. โ
The Tianyi Gang is now a well-known gang in the rivers and lakes, specializing in helping people get rid of them
Drop a thorn in the eye, who did she provoke? She actually sent such a powerful killer gang to get rid of herself?
Seeing that the black-faced groom twisted his brows, this "Tianyi Gang" must be not easy to mess with.
If the owner of the car had changed her mind, she would have died.
Qin Xiaoyu stood outside the curtain of the car and said anxiously, "Master, I am the most powerful slave of Lord Yan. My master is the emperor's most important royal brother, you save me this time, as long as the prince says a word, you can add an official to the knighthood. Why be afraid of a gang?"
A man's mellow laughter came from inside the curtain, "I'm still a partial life, and I like to go to the dead end." โ
The voice carried a long-lost sense of familiarity, just when Qin Xiaoyu was guessing who the owner of the carriage was, the golden wire curtain in front of him was slowly lifted, and a person poked out of it, and a burst of sandalwood ancient incense wafted in, which made Qin Xiaoyu's heart flutter, and a familiar and gentle face broke into his eyes, and Qin Xiaoyu's eyes widened in shock, and his steps subconsciously retreated slightly.
The man leaned over slightly, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, and he fell lightly from the carriage to the ground, splashing a circle of dust, staining the brocade boots of his clothes, and he glanced down, and his eyebrows twitched slightly, as if the dust had soiled his body.
Qin Xiaoyu knew that this person had always been happy, and he pinched his sleeves and wanted to squat down to wipe his shoes, but he was able to hold her arms, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but tense his whole body, "Emperor...... The Imperial ......"
As soon as he raised his hand, the plum blossom folding fan closed suddenly, and gently touched her mouth, signaling her not to continue, not to reveal his identity.
Qin Xiaoyu bowed, but he still held her arm tightly, and had no intention of letting go, for a while her eyes had nowhere to put it, so she had to look down, and she was also anxiously thinking in her heart, Your Majesty, you let go of me.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had a peach blossom-like smile, "Why, have you ever seen a young and handsome man like me?"
Recalling that she called him master just now, she was quite embarrassed, and only whispered, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and I hope that the master will spare the slave." โ
"It's only been a few days, and you seem to be looking at it again. โ
He said lightly, then he held her arm and pulled her behind him, like no matter what happened, this man would protect her well, her heart sank, and then raised her eyes to look at him, only to feel that this man was graceful, like a jade mountain going up, and the light reflected people.
"There are strange things every year, and there are so many of them today, and there are even people who don't want to die for a mere little eunuch?" The leader of the man in black masked his face, revealing a pair of fierce eyes, full of murderous intent, and waved his hand, "Since you don't want to die, then don't blame us for being polite." Brothers, on, not a single one remains. โ
The black-faced groom grabbed the soft sword in his hand from the carriage, jumped up, rushed out like an arrow, and engaged those men in black.
The seven or eight masked black-clothed men were all fierce, Qin Xiaoyu asked himself if he had some three-legged cat kung fu, but his kung fu foundation was not thick, and it was okay to deal with people like the eldest mother and eldest sister, but he was only afraid of hitting stones with eggs to deal with these green forest killers.
And the emperor can't even ride and shoot, Wen is very weak, I'm afraid that his martial arts are not as good as her?
Just a strong martial arts groom is enough to protect the two of them, right?
Qin Xiaoyu's heart was down, and he walked out from behind Murong Yan, "Master, you better go, don't take care of the small one, the small one has a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, if it affects the master and the people of the world, then I will die a thousand times and ten thousand times and cannot make up for it." โ
No matter how hard she wants to live, but if the emperor is involved, the emperor is the king of a country, if there are three longs and two shorts, this unstable Daning Dynasty will fall into a bloody struggle for power, when the enemy invades, only the people of the world will suffer.
Her mother often taught her that three emperors and five emperors, thousands of generations, everything comes first to the people, isn't that the truth?
Murong Yan lifted his eyelids lightly and smiled slightly, "You oily little slave, can you say such a big truth?"
With that, he picked her up and put her in the carriage, "You will stay here in peace, I will not die, and you will not die." โ
When this person does not regard himself as "I", he is as humble as jade, elegant in the painting, and so dedicated to her little minion, how can she not be grateful in her heart?
He pushed himself into the carriage, and the curtain fell, but her heart was in a ball, and she carefully lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out, only to see him fighting with the black-faced coachman and the seven or eight black-clothed men.
She saw that in the shadow of the sword, he snatched the sword of the man in black on the opposite side and fought desperately.
Qin Xiaoyu's lips pursed again, she couldn't imagine that Murong Yan's swordsmanship was exquisite, and he didn't lose to those people in the rivers and lakes, she recalled that a few days ago he also said that he couldn't ride and shoot, and he was the worst of the emperor's sons, this faint monarch is really hidden, no wonder this little-known adopted son of the queen mother can squeeze out the queen mother's son and sit on the throne of the emperor.
The man in black didn't expect this polite boy to be so good at martial arts, but after all, he was a first-class killer, relying on the strength of the crowd to suppress their momentum.
After a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves again, and galloped from the path down the mountain, Qin Xiaoyu thought, these three killers were only afraid that they were ambushing on the road down the mountain, and seeing that their partners had not yet appeared, they looked for the horseshoe prints and rushed to the mountain.
There were three more people here, and although the two of them killed several people and spent a lot of physical strength, they were obviously a little overwhelmed.
The black-faced groom said anxiously, "Master, you take the eunuch away first, I am enough here." The groom swung his sword and swung it hard at the stiff rope, between the horse and the carriage
The stiff rope was cut.
She was thinking about what to do, when she saw a flash of white light coming from behind Murong Yan.
She was terrified, regardless of anything else, jumped out of the car, pushed Murong Yan away, and stood up to fight with that person, but even though she had some small kung fu, she couldn't match those masters, she threw out a unique secret weapon fire dragon spider from the treasure gourd, but the black-clothed killer made a sharp move, and a sword split her spider in half, slashing at her, she avoided it, and was slashed by the other party on the arm.
Feeling pained to the bone, she let out a low cry and looked at her arm, which was already full of blood.
It's always her left arm that hurts, the last time she was stabbed by the candlestick, it was better, and this time it's ......
The next moment, with a weight on his shoulders, he was forcefully taken into his arms.
Murong Yan swung his sword, his swordsmanship was like a rainbow, and a sword slashed through the throat of the killer who had just slashed her, blood was like a pillar, spurting out, and the killer also fell to the ground suddenly.
In addition to the strong pungent smell of blood, there is also a faint warm incense, as soon as he raised his head, his handsome face crashed into her pupils, like shaved eyebrows, flying fรจng-like eyes, his eyes were like torches, staring at the bloody mouth on her arm, his brows were locked, and he asked with a casual smile, "Qin Xiaoyu, are you really just a eunuch?
Is it to praise her for her bravery?
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she wasn't as brave as he imagined, she just didn't want the only backer to die, she knew too well that if Murong Huan died, she wouldn't be able to live today.
"Slaves are fearless. โ
When she spoke, her eyes widened, and she said it with great righteousness.
