Pei Xuanling: "Do you know who the other party is?" ”

Huang Dechang: "The surroundings are pitch black, and they are far apart, and the minions can't see who they are, only that they are a group of people riding tall horses, and there are dozens of people or so." ”

At this moment, the person on the other side suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, our Royal Highness the King of Shu learned that you were leaving Shu and came to see you off in person!" ”

This suburb was quiet, and the other party shouted at such a loud voice, and the prince and others could hear it clearly.

As soon as he heard that the other party was the king of Shu, Huang Dechang's face changed slightly.

Even Jiang Shishi in the carriage changed her expression slightly after hearing this.

Before the prince left the city gate, the king of Shu led people to chase after him, could it be that the king of Shu couldn't wait for the prince's life?

But although the king of Shu in the book was ruthless to the prince, he didn't attack the prince tonight.

Moreover, now that the king of Shu has only brought dozens of people, he should not have come to kill the prince.

Forgive him, no matter how arrogant the King of Shu is, he will not dare to blatantly murder the prince.

After all, the reputation of this murder of the crown prince is not good.

Not long after, Jiang Shishi heard someone approaching the carriage on the other side, and said to the prince in the carriage: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the prince is in the carriage?" ”

This voice Jiang Shishi had heard before, it was the voice of the king of Shu.

"......" Pei Xuanling said to the King of Shu outside through the curtain of the car: "It's late at night, I don't know what happened when the King of Shu led someone to block Lone's place?" ”

Since the king of Shu chased after him, he already knew that the prince was in the carriage, and now that the prince himself confirmed it, he did not salute and still rode on horseback.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you come to Shu to say hello to this king, so that I haven't been able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and entertain you well, but it seems that this king is not well entertained." The King of Shu said cheap words.

"If it weren't for the people below telling this king, saying that you came to Shu and are now about to leave in a hurry, this king will bring people over in a hurry, planning to give you a good ride, but I didn't expect it to be you ......"

Listening to the words of the King of Shu, Jiang Shishi frowned.

This King of Shu, when he wanted to marry the prince in the past, he spoke like a grandson in front of the prince, and he was very polite and thoughtful.

Now that the King of Shu and the King of Mu are married, when he saw the prince, not only did he dismount, he did not salute, but he spoke with a strong murderous aura, which sounded quite provocative.

This feeling made Jiang Shishi feel that she and the prince and the others were like fish on the chopping board, and they felt like they were being slaughtered.

The king of Shu didn't want to kill them for the time being, so he came over to provoke a few words.

When I want to take their lives, I'm afraid I will be caught off guard.

Since the King of Shu didn't pay attention to etiquette, Pei Xuanling didn't pay attention to etiquette, and he didn't lift the curtain to show up.

"The King of Shu is polite, he came here alone to do a small thing, and I heard that the King of Shu was busy training the guards, so I won't bother the King of Shu to entertain him." Pei Xuanling's tone was light, "Besides, although Shu is a domain, it is also my Dongliang land, and coming to Shu alone is like walking around in your own garden, why do you need to be entertained by the King of Chu?" ”

"Hahahaha...... On horseback, the King of Shu laughed loudly, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, but since the king has rushed over today, I will give you a good ride!" ”

The king of Shu bit "give you a ride" very hard, which made Jiang Shishi very uncomfortable to listen to.

It was obviously a send-off, but the king of Shu said that he was going to be a funeral.

"There are guards around Lonely, so I don't bother King Shu." Immediately afterwards, Pei Xuanling ordered the people below, "Huang Dechang, continue to hurry!" ”

"Yes!" After Huang Dechang got down, he raised his hand and waved, Yu Bing continued to drive the carriage, and the guards also rode their horses and continued to move forward.

This time, the King of Shu and the others did not continue to stop them, but made way for the prince and others.

King Shu: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave Beijing, may His Highness have a safe journey." ”

After the prince's carriage drove away, the guards who rode side by side with the king of Shu looked at the carriage and asked: "Your Highness, according to the reports from the people below, the prince knows about our mine, if he is allowed to return to Beijing, he will definitely sue us in front of the old emperor, should we really let him go?" ”

"Of course you can't let him just leave......" King Shu looked at the prince's carriage with gloomy eyes.

Not to mention that the prince knew that he had embezzled local minerals, and on this point, he couldn't let the prince leave Shu alive.

The key King Mu also gave him an order, saying that the old emperor was dying, and he resolutely could not let the prince return to Beijing alive!

With these two points, he will do his best to take the prince's life.

But... Not now......

For the sake of his own reputation, he must find a high-sounding reason to hunt down the crown prince!

"By the way, Your Highness, there has been a group of Northern Desert people who have been making trouble on our Shu border recently, should we bring a group of people to encircle and suppress them?"

"......" Hearing this, the King of Shu's eyes turned slightly, "No matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, as long as they dare to make trouble in our territory, they will be wiped out!" ”

The King of Shu gritted his teeth when he spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the prince's carriage not far away.

**

That night, the prince and the others were safe and sound.

The next morning, after resting for a while, they ate some dry food, and then continued on their journey.

By noon, the crowd had traveled for nearly a day and a night.

Jiang Shishi and the crown prince are okay, at least they can nap and sleep in the carriage.

The guards have been driving for so long, even the iron body can't stand it, even the horses are cowardly.

Outside, Huang Dechang said next to the carriage: "Your Highness, the horse is a little embarrassed, I'm afraid I'll have to find an official post to change the horse later." ”

It stands to reason that the horses have to stop and rest every once in a while.

But they were in a hurry to leave Shudi, and from yesterday to now, this horse has hardly rested except for grazing.

In addition, the words of the King of Shu yesterday were quite provocative, and they had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Later, go to the official post to change a horse and continue to hurry, and strive to leave Shu before dark tomorrow!

In the carriage of "......", Pei Xuanling was about to agree, when he heard a sound of a stomach croaking.

Turning his head to look at the embarrassed woman, "Hungry?" ”

Jiang Shishi nodded "um", "I'm so hungry......"

Pei Xuanling: "Eat something when you're hungry, the drawer at your end is full of snacks you bought at the night market a while ago." ”

"It's okay to eat those things occasionally, but it's a little greasy to eat those dry things at once." Jiang Shishi also said: "Now that the weather is gradually getting cooler, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach when I eat cold......

As soon as he heard that the woman had an upset stomach and was so hungry that her stomach was croaking, Pei Xuanling lifted the curtain and ordered: "Huang Dechang, is there an inn near here?" ”

"Your Highness, we are taking the official road, where is there an inn, it is an official post, and we can only arrive in the evening." Huang Dechang proposed: "If Jiang Liangdi can't stand it, we can change the route and go in the direction of many people, so that we may run into an inn." ”

He heard it just now, Jiang Liangdi had an upset stomach and was hungry again, probably wanting to eat two bites of hot food.

If this had been placed before, he would definitely feel that Jiang Liangdi was squeamish, knowing that they were in a hurry to leave Shudi, so he couldn't endure it a little, and wait until he left Shudi to be greedy again?

However, several times Jiang Liangdi's unintentional actions helped His Highness avoid disaster.

Especially Jiang Liangdi asked them to take the antidote in advance a while ago, so that they could escape.

Since then, he has decided that no matter what Jiang Liangdi says, he will be the same as His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will rely on her!

What if this lucky star is helping them to avoid misfortune again?

"But the official roads are all shortcuts, if we change the route, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Shu before tomorrow." A male guard alerted.

There is also a female guard named Yanshuang who also said: "Shu is not suitable for a long time, one more day in Shu, Your Highness will be more dangerous, let's hurry as soon as possible is the most important thing." ”

The guards hurried on the road without stopping, and they didn't say anything.

Jiang Liangdi eats and drinks well and rests well in the carriage, and she is still squeamish here, which is really hypocritical!

Pei Xuanling: "Huang Dechang, we have been on the road for a day and a night, let's change the route, find an inn to rest for a while, eat some hot food, and then change horses to continue the journey!" ”

The prince said so, and Huang Dechang responded.

Even if the rest of the guards are unhappy and think that Jiang Liangdi is hypocritical, there is no way, who makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happy to spoil this sick girl?

After instructing the people below to change the route, Pei Xuanling saw the woman find a bag of rouge goose breast in the carriage drawer and ate it with relish.

Pei Xuanling: "Aren't you sick to your stomach?" Still eating this dry, hard and cold food? ”

"The concubine is hungry and has a stomachache, so let's eat something to fill my stomach first." Jiang Shishi pinched two pieces of rouge goose breast and put it in her mouth.

Seeing this, the corners of Pei Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly.

Just now he heard the woman croaking with hunger and yelling about stomach pain, and his first thought was to ask Huang Dechang and the others to change their route and find an inn to rest.

Now that I have calmed down and seen the woman eating snacks again, how is this like a person with an upset stomach?

Moreover, since the journey from the capital to Shudi, women's appetite has been very good.

She didn't even have snacks before, just nibbling on steamed buns, baked cakes, oil cakes, and wowotou, she never said that she had an upset stomach.

Now that she has bought so many snacks in the carriage that she likes to eat, she has an upset stomach?

Thinking of this, Pei Xuanling's eyes turned slightly.

After everyone changed the route, about an hour or so, they found an inn to rest.

Yu Bing led the carriage to the stable to change horses, and Huang Dechang ordered a hot meal with Xiao Er.

Taking advantage of the time for the cooks to stir-fry, the guards randomly found an open space, and hurried to fall asleep.

After eating, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment, so they continued on their way.

Pei Xuanling kept an eye on it, and he bought an extra carriage from the inn.

As early as after the King of Shu knew that he was coming to Shu, he did not pretend to be a cloth merchant anymore, and directly let the forces in the dark go out one after another to protect his safety.

The guards and dark guards combined, there are thousands of them.

Now, Pei Xuanling divided the guards on the surface into two groups.

When passing through a fork in the road, a group of teams went through the officialdom as usual.

And he himself, he led the people around the long road.

The group of people who took the official road only had two percent of the guards.

The remaining eighty percent of the guards followed the prince.

After the two groups parted ways at the fork in the road, Jiang Shishi, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the team not far away.

At this moment, the sun is setting, and the glow is like blood.

The sunset was red across half of the sky, staining the entire countryside.

I don't know how long it took, but the range of the glow gradually became smaller and the color gradually lighter.

Fuchsia turned crimson, crimson turned pink, then pink turned pale red, and finally disappeared.

And the other group of teams has long disappeared from Jiang Shishi's sight.

It's easy to get sleepy when you're full, not to mention that the carriage is shaky, just like a cradle, Jiang Shishi's sleepiness is coming.

Lowering the curtains, she rested on the couch in the carriage as usual.

thought that the prince would be able to avoid trouble, and she would be able to sleep with peace of mind.

However, just when Jiang Shishi was sleeping soundly, the carriage suddenly bumped a few times, and then stopped urgently.

In a daze, she could hear the sound of fighting.

"Shishi, there are assassins, wake up!"

Hearing the prince call her Shishi, Jiang Shishi subconsciously thought that she was dreaming.

It is estimated that the nerves have been too tense recently, and even dreams are being hunted down.

It wasn't until the whole person was violently shaken several times that Jiang Shishi woke up from her sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't have time to see the current situation clearly, and a sword stabbed into the car from outside the curtain.

The sword stabbed Jiang Shishi's waist and abdomen a little, and it was also because she was lying down, otherwise, the sword would have stabbed her body directly.

The carriage was lit with an oil lamp, and in the dim light, the sword emitted a chilling yellow glow.

Moreover, the prince also held a long sword in his hand, and keenly coped with the sword light that constantly pierced into the carriage.

The scene in front of me... Tell Jiang Shishi that all this is true!

But didn't she inadvertently let the prince change her course?

It stands to reason that she has already helped the prince avoid trouble, why is the prince still being hunted down?

However, there was no time to think about the current situation, so she picked up an iron plate in the carriage and sat back to back with the prince, and the two of them dealt with the assassins besieging the carriage.

The iron plate was originally placed on the carriage as a simple small table, but now it has become Jiang Shishi's shield for defense.

Whenever a long sword pierced from the outside, Jiang Shishi blocked it with an iron plate, or vigorously copied it, and pushed the long sword out.

I don't know how long it took, the long swords besieging the carriage became fewer and fewer, and then Huang Dechang's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, we will surround the carriage safely for the time being, you and Jiang Liangdi come out quickly!" ”

The curtain of the carriage had already been cut by the assassins, Pei Xuanling looked at the surrounding situation, Huang Dechang and the others did surround the carriage, and it was quite safe.

Therefore, he first took Jiang Shishi's hand and asked Jiang Shishi to get off the carriage first.

Then he got out of the carriage on his own.

When Jiang Shishi and the prince got out of the carriage, Huang Dechang and the others did not need to protect the carriage, and everyone dealt with the assassins separately.

For a while, in the originally quiet suburbs, the shouts of tearing and killing were endless.

Jiang Shishi glanced at the black-clothed people around her, and there were not many, only about a few hundred, which was on par with the prince's side.

As always, she has wind oil essences, long swords, and anti-wolf skills, and she can deal with assassins with ease.

Just when Jiang Shishi felt that the victory was in her hands, a few arrows suddenly rained down in the crowd.

Due to the chaos of the battle between the two sides, some of the arrows rained down on friendly troops, and some stabbed the enemy men in black.

Jiang Shishi's anti-wolf skills and wind oil essence are quite handy in dealing with melee assassins.

Now in the face of those assassins who shoot arrows from afar, first, the wind oil essence can't be sprayed at all, and the rain of arrows is too dense and fast, she can't cope with it at all.

At the critical moment, she was still a little dizzy inexplicably.

Seeing an arrow shoot straight at her, an inky black shadow stood in front of her.

I saw that the arrow shot straight into the man's left shoulder, but the other party still stood in front of her without saying a word, using his flesh and blood and long sword to block the rain of arrows that kept shooting for her......
