12. Bow down to the king

After the second prince left, Yu Yao quickly got up and walked back to his carriage. More is better than less, this arrogant Princess Jieyang didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly slapped herself. It's still far away, it seems that the drama of Gong Dou has slowly kicked off before entering the palace! It's just that Yu Yao didn't expect that this would be a bloody storm.

The little guy who was sent out to inquire about the news in front rode a horse to the battlefield of the fight, the fierce fight scene just now was silent, he got off the horse and walked forward slowly, the moonlight was as cold as water, but there was no one around. Suddenly, he felt like he had stepped on something soft, and as soon as he landed, he sank into the sand with the weight of his feet. He lifted his foot and leaned over to look, and a broken finger with blood in the yellow sand came into view. He almost screamed and jumped away. Only then did he notice the scene in front of him, not that everyone had left, but that everyone was lying in front of him, dead. He took the flint and steel from his bosom, lit a fire, and held it in his hand. He saw his brother and confidante in the pile of the dead, a colleague in the barracks, the red-eyed thief of the second prince's own soldier whom he had never met but had long known, and many more people dressed in night clothes, and at this time, they were lying in the cold moonlight, and their families were probably still waiting for tomorrow to eat porridge together.

The little servant rode in the direction of the capital, and until he reached the gate of the capital, there was no trace of the horse team. At this time, the gates of the city have not yet been opened, what about the horse team? What about the second prince? Where did they all go? He rode around the capital again, but still did not see the horse team. As the morning light shone, he saw a man in a white shirt in front of the gate of the capital and beckoned to him. He looked at the man's face and didn't recognize it. The man in the white shirt beckoned to him again. The little servant went boldly to the man.

The sky was slightly bright, and the sun had not yet been seen, but it was enough to see the place where the horse team roosted, and it was only a short distance from the capital. The early risers had already crossed their horses and whipped back, facing the cold and hard wind of the early morning.

The pathfinder did not dare to recklessly surrender his life to the murderous second prince like the soldier last night, but passed the message to Ah Suo, a close confidant of the second prince. Ah Suo is the son of the second prince's nurse, who grew up with the second prince since he was a child, and is very familiar with the second prince. If he really made a mistake, he would be protected by the second prince in every possible way, and no one else would dare to provoke him.

When Asso heard that he had found the direction of the capital, and he did not stay away from the capital when he fled last night, he urgently walked to the carriage of the second prince and whispered to the second prince who was sleeping inside: "Second prince, the road has been found." When do you think we're leaving? I commanded to go down. ”

The second prince has been clothed and fed since he was a child, where did he suffer this sin of sleeping in a carriage in the middle of the desert, not to mention the small space of the carriage, even if seven or eight blankets are spread under him, he feels as hard as iron, and he can't sleep at all. After tossing and turning all night, he could not find a comfortable position, and as soon as he heard that the way back to the city had been found, he asked to open it immediately and return to the capital. In fact, he still had a big event in mind, and this big thing needed to be answered immediately.

The horse team continued to march. The second prince swore not to return to the carriage, but rode on his jujube red horse and entered the capital with great dignity.

The majesty of the capital city far exceeds all the small cities passing by Cixian City and the surrounding areas, the city gate is 100 feet high, and there are three big characters on it: Wudu City. The city is heavily guarded, the market is noisy and busy, the crowd is dressed in bright and dazzling clothes, and more exotic faces are sandwiched in it, without any sense of disobedience, shuttling back and forth, a group of flowers and brocade, and the prosperous era of the Celestial Empire. Yu Yao lifted the curtain and scanned the figures seriously, and also paid attention to the plaques of the shops, without any shadow of Lin Xiangdi. But she was not discouraged, she worked hard to live in order to see Lin Xiangdi again, and Lin Xiangdi would do the same thing, this was their agreement, on that night when it was as cold as water, the two swore an oath under the moon and told each other their heartfelt feelings.

Yu Yao suddenly fell into the misty old things.

It was the second month after they crossed, and the two of them sat on a high earthen platform outside the city and looked into the distance. Lin Xiangdi bit his lip and racked his brains thinking about what he had learned in modern society, how could he seamlessly splice into this era, and what could he do? Teaching? After thinking about this, I laughed heartily, and I had long forgotten the ancient Chinese I learned in Java, and I couldn't even memorize a thousand-character text, so I couldn't mistake people's children anymore. Then there is only one way left to do business. Yu Yao said: "Anyway, I don't have any other survival skills, that is, these sales experiences learned during my internship in 4S stores can still come in handy." ”

Lin Xiangdi scratched his ears and cheeks and thought, "Then what are we selling?" ”

Yu Yao wrapped her fingers around and ran out of ideas. However, she noticed that the mirror used by the people here was a brass mirror, the mirror surface was hazy and blurry, and every time she looked in the mirror, she was restless because she couldn't see clearly. Yu Yao thought that if they could make a bronze mirror that could clearly reflect people's faces, it was estimated that business would be prosperous. She told Lin Xiangdi about this proposal, and when he heard it, it was quite reliable. Lin Xiangdi had a flash of inspiration and also contributed a good idea, which was a funny joke on the Internet before setting off - the buyer's show of the magic mirror. Lin Xiangdi snapped his fingers and said, "This is okay, you only need to adjust the concave and convex surface of the copper mirror!" ”

As soon as they said they would do it, the two of them first bought some cheap copper mirrors and cheaper fake gems from the Tocharian people with golden beards, and Lin Xiangdi polished and polished them, and Yu Yao was responsible for setting the fake gems into the edge of the copper mirror. The two of them first made a dozen or so of them, and then took them to the market to sell. When Uncle Li saw this thing, he just smiled awkwardly, noncommittal, this thing was more like a child's toy.

Lin Xiangdi smiled and picked it up and said to Yu Yao: "It's not like it's sold in the ten-yuan gift shop at the tourist attraction?" Yu Yao was teased, but this thing is really ugly, I don't know if there is a market.

Yu Yao and Lin Xiangdi cheered each other on as they walked towards the market, and Yu Yao had an idea and said, "We have to give it a name to attract customers!" ”

After the two vetoed each other's various silly names, Yu Yao finally decided to call it "Fairy Mirror"!

Lin Xiangdi picked up the "fairy mirror" with a cloth pocket on his chest, walked around like a stuffy gourd, and after a big circle, he was tired and sweaty, but the huge market did not attract a single customer. Lin Xiangdi said to Yu Yao dejectedly; "Looks like this won't work!"

Who knew that Yu Yao looked at him with disgust and shook his head, stood up with a hula, and began to shout loudly at the top of his voice: "Come and see!" Sell fairy mirrors in good faith! As soon as this mirror shines, it becomes a fairy! Passionate sale, honest and don't deceive! Lin Xiangdi was frightened by Yu Yao's actions, but then burst out laughing.

Soon, the women were attracted by the shouting, Yu Yao took out her housekeeping skills, shouted desperately, flickered desperately, and more than a dozen copper mirrors were sold out. Yu Yao also promised those who didn't buy it: sell a batch every half month, and everyone can wait for another half a month.

That night, the two walked slowly towards Uncle Li's courtyard under the moonlight. Lin Xiangdi said: "Yaoyao, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" Not to mention that all the bronze mirrors were sold out, and an advance payment was collected from a few people. What a fool! ”

Yu Yao counted the money like the landlord's wife who kept her money, and said with a smile: "Otherwise? Do you think my intern's job has been in vain? There is no road in vain in life, every step counts. ”

Lin Xiangdi planned their future development under the moon. Yu Yao stopped counting the money and asked, "Lao Lin, what do you say if we can't go back?" ”

Lin Xiangdi stopped, looked at Yu Yao with a straight face, and said, "If you really want to live here for the rest of your life, are you willing to ...... Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me? ”

Yu Yao blinked her big eyes, looked at the black and thin Lin Xiangdi in front of her, and deliberately interrupted and said, "Old Lin, how can you do it?" ”

Lin Xiangdi hugged her slender waist and said seriously: "Yaoyao, not to mention that we are trapped here now and can't go back to modern society, even if I return to modern society, I won't dislike you." Because it doesn't matter to me anything. What I care about is you, you who accompany me through the desert, you who accompany me through time and space. ”

The night is as cool as water, lying down to see the morning glory Vega.

Lin Xiangdi solemnly held Yu Yao's hand and kissed her on the back of her slightly rough hand, but Yu Yao threw herself into Lin Xiangdi's arms and murmured, "Old Lin, we are pond fish who are in love with each other." Seriously, we have nothing to lose, don't lose each other again, don't lose each other in the vast desert. ”

Lin Xiangdi held Yu Yao tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear: "No, no, we won't be separated, we will be together for the rest of our lives." ”

Yu Yao's tears flowed silently, at this moment, she was sitting in the carriage of the second prince of Wuciguo, Wu Rahe, committed to the person she didn't love, and said that she would be together for the rest of her life, why is it so difficult?

A voice pierced through the sky and shouted loudly: "Wu Lahe, the second son of the king of Xuanwu Ciguo, enter the palace." The rest waited outside the temple. This voice pulled Yu Yao from memory to reality at once. The carriage stopped inside the palace. Yu Yao didn't dare to look out, this would be the cage that imprisoned her. When I think of this, the cold penetrates the bone marrow, and there is no warmth at all.

In the palace, the copper sitting Buddha lotus incense burner faintly exudes elegant Canaanite incense, but it can't hide the strong smell coming from the king's bedroom. The second prince Wu Rahe walked into the dormitory without concealing his nose with his hands.

Inside the dormitory, the stench is even stronger. The second prince even felt a little spicy. He lifted his eyelids and looked at his father, who was lying on the bed covered with a bright yellow quilt, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't see the ups and downs of his breathing. He knelt down and kowtowed impatiently. The king only raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch standing beside him whispered to the second prince, "Second prince, please get up." ”

The second prince Wu Rahe stood up, looking cynical, standing in the middle of the palace, suddenly remembering what Yu Yao said to himself before leaving, and said a little bluntly: "Father, in recent days, the wind and sand have been continuous, and the temperature has plummeted, I don't know how my father is in health?" ”

Wang Shang slowly looked sideways at the second prince, and replied softly: "The dormitory is warm, I don't feel the cold, but you, why are you wearing so little?" ”

"Father Lao is worried. When Er traveled to Menyi City yesterday, he suddenly received a summons, but he was ambushed on the road at night, and he lost the red fox in a panic. The second prince took advantage of the king's voice and told the king about the ambush by the way, and if he tracked it down, he could eradicate Wuheng first.

Unexpectedly, the king just nodded lightly and did not ask any more questions, which made the full argument prepared by the second prince nowhere to say, so he closed his mouth and stood with his hands down. The king's fingers moved slightly, and the palace people rushed out, and only the second prince Wu Ra was left in the palace. He looked left and right, not knowing what the king meant, but only seeing the king's finger hooked at him.

The second prince slowly walked to the king's side, the stench was even stronger and more pungent, but the king's cloudy eyes were looking at him, and he didn't dare to cover his nose and fan the wind. Stand still by the mat before the king's bed. The king motioned for him to sit down on the couch, his wrinkled and withered hands resting weakly beside him.
