Chapter 62
Tang Yin led the Second Corps under his command to escort Princess Yin Rou to Yancheng, the capital of the wind, and all the way to Yancheng was safe and sound, without any accidents, Tang Yin also performed his duties as he preached, and was not distracted to suppress bandits.
The results of annihilating the bandit den near Chongcheng were big enough, and he didn't want to make things too big and too ostentatious.
On this day, the team entered the boundary of Wancheng.
Wancheng is very close to Yancheng, and there is only less than a day's journey between them.
At this time, it was almost evening, and Tang Yin ordered his subordinates to be stationed outside Wancheng, he and Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, Lotte, Li Wei, and Deng Mingyang. The nameless commander of Aijia led hundreds of elite soldiers to protect the princess Yin Rou into the city.
Li Xian, the lord of Wancheng, personally went out of the city to greet him, and he was accompanied by officials of all sizes in Wancheng.
Far away, Li Xian walked forward quickly, stood still in front of Tang Yin's horse, bowed down, and said with a smile: "General Tang has worked hard all the way, and he has lost his humble position, and I hope General Tang will not be surprised!"
Tang Yin and the others turned over and dismounted, and said with a light smile: "Lord Li is polite. Whether he wants it or not, the greetings and politeness of officialdom IQ also have to be talked about.
While Li Xian spoke, his eyes drifted behind Tang Yin from time to time, and when he saw the carriage Yin Rou was riding, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked repeatedly: "General Tang, that is the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Without looking back to know what he was referring to, Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! Her Royal Highness the Princess is resting in the car." ”
"That'...... Hurry up and invite Her Royal Highness the princess into the city!General Tang, please in the city!" Li Xian leaned to the side, and at the same time glanced at his subordinates, asking them to help Tang Yin and the others lead the horses.
Entering the city, Li Xian originally planned to let Tang Yin and others stay in the City Lord's Mansion, but Yin Rou's entourage was too much, and there were dozens of palace maids dressed in her, and there were more than 300 female palace guards, plus hundreds of elite soldiers under Tang Yin's command, adding up to nearly a thousand people, how could the small City Lord's Mansion live.
Li Xian and other Wancheng officials let Yin Rou go to the hotel in the city, which had already been emptied, leaving no idle people, and vacating the entire hotel for the princess and the others to use.
They had long heard that Princess Yin Rou was naturally beautiful, presumptuous, like a fairy, and they all wanted to see the style, but there were too many people around Yin Rou, and they surrounded her three times inside and three times outside, until Yin Rou was surrounded by people like stars and moons in the museum, and they didn't see the reason clearly.
Tang Yin arranged for Gu Yue, Lotte, Li Wei, and Deng Mingyang to take a hundred soldiers to guard the four directions of the pavilion, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and then asked Ai Jia to guard Yin Rou's left and right, and now, Ai Jia's identity as a woman has played a role, at least she doesn't need to avoid suspicion by the princess's side.
He arranged all the defenses on the perimeter of the hotel, and then went inside to patrol it.
The defense inside the hotel is Xiao Min, the female guard chief next to Yin Rou, who is in charge, and when he saw Tang Yin with his hands behind his back, he looked around while walking around the hotel, he immediately greeted him, as if his territory had been violated, and said unexpectedly: "I will be responsible for the safety of the museum, you don't have to worry about it here!"
Tang Yin glanced at it casually and said indifferently: "I can only rest assured if I have seen it in person." ”
His words immediately aroused Xiao Min's dissatisfaction, and she said angrily: "I have been a guard by Her Royal Highness the Princess for more than ten years, don't you trust my ability?"
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said, "When it comes to guarding, I don't think anyone is better at it than me!"
He is telling the truth, not exaggerating, he is a killer, and what he is best at is finding loopholes and loopholes, and seizing that fleeting opportunity. If the guards in the hall can't find any flaws, then it is basically perfect.
Xiao Min followed Tang Yin's side with a stinky face and accompanied him on his inspection.
After walking around the hall twice, Tang Yin felt quite satisfied, so he turned his head to Xiao Min and said, "The arrangement is good." “
Hearing this, Xiao Min was angry and funny, and grinned and snorted: "Do you still need to say this?!"
At this time, a captain ran close from outside, came to Tang Yin, intervened to give a salute, and said, "General Tang, Lord Li asks to see you!"
"Isn't he gone? Why is he still there!" Tang Yin didn't have a good impression of Li Xian, feeling that this person was oily and smooth, good at flattery, and slippery but unrealistic.
If it was before, he would not pay attention to this kind of person, but now the situation is different, he is not alone, but the head of the regiment, and in the officialdom, he must deal with all kinds of people and socialize, whether he is unhappy or willing to do it.
Didn't invite Li Xian in, even if he was the city lord, if it wasn't necessary, he shouldn't let him go inside the hall, after all, Yin Rou's safety was the most important.
He and Qiu Zhen walked out of the hotel and Li Xian.
"General Tang!" As soon as Tang Yin came out of the gate, Li Xian greeted him, with a smile on his face, and said: "Today, Her Royal Highness the princess is coming to Wancheng, and Wancheng is full of splendor, and the people in the city want to witness the demeanor of Her Royal Highness the princess.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult...... Qiu Zhen said beside him.
He was about to refuse with a tactful wording, but before he could think of the words, Tang Yin had simply interrupted his words and said in a cold voice: "No! Her Royal Highness the Princess has been tired all the way, and she has already rested, so she can't attend the banquet in Lord Li's mansion." ”
"This ......" Li Xian suddenly showed disappointment when he heard this, he laughed dryly, and said embarrassedly: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has rested, it is inconvenient and reluctant, there is no problem for General Tang to go?"
The banquet had already been held, and if Yin Rou and Tang Yin were not present, he would not be able to explain to the others, and his face as the city lord would be lost.
For the banquet, Tang Yin has never been interested, the outline refused, Qiu Zhen preemptively pulled his sleeve, and said to Li Xian: "Master Li, rest assured, General Tang will always be there at the time." ”
"Ah!" Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled all over his face, and said, "Then the humble post will welcome General Tang in the mansion." Say goodbye!"
Li Xianle left, and after he walked away, Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen with dissatisfaction and asked, "Who asked you to help me decide?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Although the position of the city lord is not high, after all, he is a city and a lord, and he has real power, Brother Tang can deal with it as much as possible, there is no need to offend, especially a sleek person like Li Xian." ”
Tang Yin frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's go over tonight to see how much pomp and circumstance this guy Li Xian has made." ”
Tang Yin's residence was in the wing room of the hotel, and when he returned to his room, he first took off his armor and changed into light casual clothes.
Although it is not the height of summer, the weather is still hot, and the steel armor is impermeable to the wind, and it will be uncomfortable to wear it for a while, not to mention that he will wear it as soon as he wears it.
He washed casually, and as soon as he sat down, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Tang Yin sat in his chair and replied casually.
The door opened, and Xiao Min walked in from the outside.
Glancing at him, Tang Yin turned to sit on his side and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for you. Xiao Min looked around as he spoke, looking at the furnishings of his room.
Yin Rou didn't take the initiative to look for him often, Tang Yin was strange, and asked, "What's the matter with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"How do I know?!" Xiao Min's gaze finally withdrew from the decoration of the room, fell on Tang Yin's face, and said domineeringly: "Hurry up, Her Royal Highness the princess is still waiting for you!"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, but soon his expression returned to naturalness, and he stood up. He raised his head at her and smiled, "Let's go!"
Xiao Min snorted, turned around and walked out.
Tang Yin followed, and at the moment when he was about to go out, he intentionally or unintentionally stretched his foot forward, hooking the bare foot that Xiao Min had just stepped out of.
Xiao Min screamed in surprise, couldn't retract his strength, lost his balance in his body, and threw himself to the ground.
Tang Yin didn't seem to feel anything, he didn't even look at her, his footsteps didn't stop, he walked directly past his fallen body, and at the same time said on the ground: "Be careful when walking, the threshold of the Wind Country is high, and it is easy to trip." ”
"You ......" Xiao Min sat on the ground, his face turned blue with anger, and his eyes were burning and glaring at Tang Yin. She is not blind, of course she will pay attention to the threshold when she goes out, no need to ask, it must be Tang Yin who caused her to fall.
It's a pity that she has no evidence, and Tang Yin won't take the initiative to admit it.
You remember it for me! Xiao Min gritted his teeth in his heart, patted him, started awkwardly, ignored Tang Yin, and walked away quickly.
Coming to Yin Rou's bedroom, Tang Yin knocked on the door and entered.
At this time, Yin Rou had already changed her dress and was wearing a light white dress.
Although the style of the clothes is simple, it is noble and elegant when worn on her, and it seems that no matter what clothes are worn on her body in this world, she cannot hide her beauty.
Tang Yin sighed secretly, every time he saw Yin Rou, his mood was very complicated, there was appreciation, regret, and sourness. is also distressed, and even he can't tell what it's like.
"Subordinates, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" In front of Yin Rou, Tang Yin did not make a big salute, and bowed at the steepest. Yin Rou didn't care about this, now that he was wearing civilian clothes, she couldn't help but look at Tang Yin a few more times, and then asked, "General Tang, is there an event in Wancheng tonight?"
Tang Yin was stunned, he didn't know how Yin Rou knew, he pondered for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes! ”
Yin Rou replied softly, and before she could speak, Tang Yin said again: "However, I have already helped Her Royal Highness the princess push it off." ”
Her eyes lit up, and her fair and delicate little face showed a look of surprise, but she still asked, "Why?"
Tang Yin Zhengse said: "I don't think Her Royal Highness the princess likes to participate in this kind of banquet. ”
