Chapter 252: Leaving the City Late at Night
Although the carriage was not moving slowly, it was silent, and it was estimated that something was wrapped in the horse's hooves.
What are you going to do with such care?
I felt it for a long time, but I didn't feel the terrifying breath in the palace, so I put my mind at ease and began to observe the scene outside with an inward look.
Soon, my breath was everywhere, and everything around me was like dust in the sun.
I "saw" every little detail clearly, the tense backs of the guards in front of me, the whips raised, the galloping horses, the lanterns hanging from the shops on the streets, and the bright moon in the sky.
At this time last night, he and I were still talking in the house with candles, and this evening, I sat in the speeding carriage, running into the unknown future.
If what the guards said was true, he went to the palace in the morning, didn't come back for a day, and sent the guards to pick me up in the evening, I really couldn't understand what he was doing and what he wanted to do, and I, in a position of nothing in what he was going to do.
On the first day I came to the capital, I ran to his house and waited for him to return, but I never had a chance to see the prosperity of the capital, so I was trapped in that small courtyard. Now, this is the second time I have come to the streets of the capital.
The streets of the capital are wide and quiet, with a staggered mix of houses on both sides, most of which are dark, with occasional light shining in one or two places.
As the carriage drove down the road, it felt like the streets were getting narrower and narrower, and began to weave through the alleys.
I admired the guards driving in front of me, and in such an alley, they could still drive freely, and the carriage also had a certain width, and in some places, it felt like it was brushing against the wall.
It's just, where the hell does he want to take me? Why take the trail?
Soon the carriage went down the road again, and came to a wide place, ahead of which was ...... Tower?
Arrived at the gate of the capital?
The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and the soldiers at the gate shouted, "Who? Don't you know that you are not allowed to go out of the city at midnight? ”
The guard driving the car took out a sign from his arms and handed it to the soldier: "This official is the captain of the Yue Cavalry under the command of the Sixth Prince, and he is ordered to go out of the city today, and here is the token of the Sixth Prince." ”
The soldier took the token, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "It is indeed the token of the Sixth Prince." ”
Another soldier next to him was much more polite when he saw the state: "Since there is the token of the sixth prince, the humble position should be released immediately, but the humble position also has a task, and he has to ask as usual,"
The guard said, "This official can't break the rules, excuse me." ”
"May I ask where the captain was ordered, why did he leave the city in the middle of the night, and who was sitting in the carriage?" I have to check my humble duties, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient. ”
The guard groaned: "The sixth prince obeys the order to go out of the city," the guard arched his hand to the sky, "In the carriage is the prince's master, the prince is in a hurry to go out of the city, so he specially orders the official to take the master out of the city to meet." ”
I heard it in there, Master, what I look like, Master?
The soldier's eyes were probably not broken, although there was no moonlight outside, but he had a lantern in his hand.
"The prince's master?" The soldier asked.
The guard said: "Exactly! ”
"According to the usual practice, you have to look down on the lowly position, and please ask the captain to open the curtain." The soldier nodded at the guard.
The guard looked displeased: "The official has already given you a token, and told you the cause and effect, you don't believe the official?" ”
The soldier hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't dare to be humble, but I am ordered to guard the door, which is the duty of my humble." ”
It is true that the soldiers cannot be allowed to lift the curtain, and this opening will reveal the stuffing.
But it's all right, after all, it's me sitting in the carriage.
So I changed my appearance, the appearance of the master of the fairy wind and bones, and then said in a mellow baritone: "It's okay, Lord Captain, please open the curtain for them to see, this is their duty, the prince knows, and he won't blame you." ”
When the guard heard my voice, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and responded: "I'm bothering the master, it's the humble duty that is ineffective, and I ask the master to intercede for the humble lord at the prince's place." ”
I smiled faintly and acted like a master: "Lord Captain said that he laughed, the goalkeeper is loyal to his duties, as a subordinate of the prince, he should follow the convention, how could the prince punish the captain for this." ”
The soldier heard the conversation between us and hurriedly said, "Offended." ”
He lifted the curtain and took the lantern and looked inside. I stroked my beard and smiled at him and nodded.
He glanced me up and down, hurriedly smiled at me, and then lowered the curtain and said to the guard: "Lord Captain, I have already seen the humble position, please." ”
After speaking, he commanded the soldiers next to him to open the city gate.
I was in the carriage, and I was back to the way I was before.
Soon, the gates opened, and the carriage went out at a constant pace.
The guards didn't speak, and I didn't speak, but I still "looked" outside, and the woods on both sides quickly retreated, and after running for a while, a bright light appeared in front of me, and it was a torch.
By the moonlight, I saw that there were more than a dozen horses, a carriage, dozens of attendants in front of me, and the person sitting on the tallest horse in the middle was the sixth prince who came back to take me shopping and never came back!
He was wearing a black coat, his face was grim, and there were more than a dozen horses around him, honestly on the ground, motionless, and very well-trained.
He saw the carriage coming, smiled slightly, and came forward.
When the guards saw him coming, they hurriedly stopped, dismounted, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Rong, the person has been brought, and he is in the carriage at the moment." ”
I wanted to talk about the obstacles I encountered at the gate of the city, but I looked around and swallowed what I wanted to say.
He nodded and gave a false hand: "It's hard work." ”
Then he rode to the curtain and said, "Get out of the carriage in front of you." ”
I answered the call, walked briskly to the luxurious carriage in front of me, and someone helped me into the carriage.
As soon as he gave the order, everyone began to move forward.
At the moment, I am blindfolded, leaving the city in the middle of the night, where is he going. When I went out, the terrifying aura in the palace was gone, but now, around him, I didn't feel the terrifying aura, where did that aura go?
Everyone marched forward in an orderly manner, and he rode his horse to the front.
With the mentality that I have come and am at ease, I began to look at the carriage.
This should be the prince's special seat, look at the interior of the carriage, the seats are covered with soft cushions, the backrest is also upholstered, and even on it, there is a small table with a pot of tea and two cups on it, and the teapots are very delicate. I touched it, the teapot was still hot, I shook the teapot, there was still water in it.
I picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip, the temperature was just right.
There was even a book on the table, which was written "The Legend of Xiaolin Guangji", which was probably used to pass the time when riding in the car.
I thought about it, but I still didn't open it, otherwise he would have discovered it when I was watching it with relish, and my illiterate character would have collapsed.
The carriage was large, and there was a small mattress at the corner of the seat, which I picked up and covered myself, and it was late at night, and I didn't wear much, so it was best to keep warm.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see him come in, and gradually, I couldn't help it, and fell asleep against the wall of the car.
By the time I woke up, it was already slightly light.
At this moment, he was sitting next to me, holding "The Legend of Xiaolin Guangji" and watching, and when he saw me wake up, he smiled at me: "I worked hard for you last night, and this king didn't call you when he saw that you were sleeping deeply." ”
I looked at his energetic appearance and wondered, "Did you sleep last night, why are you so energetic?" ”
He smiled: "This king is strong and strong, and he is in good spirits without sleeping for three consecutive nights, and you will soon know." ”
I always felt that his last sentence was not a good word.
But I pretended not to know.
"Why did you get me out of town? Where are we going? What are you taking me for? ”
He smiled faintly: "This king promised to take you shopping, but suddenly there was something on the frontier, and this king was ordered to go to the town, so naturally I didn't have time to talk to you in detail." There is also someone to serve this king, and you have been serving you very well recently, so I simply brought you out. ”
I blinked, digesting what he had given for a long time.
"Sending you to guard the frontier, what are you doing with me as a maid?"
He shook his head: "You are not the king's maid, you are the king's servant." It just so happens that you don't need to wrap your breasts, you can wear this dress quite right. As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to my chest and nodded in satisfaction.
I subconsciously clasped my hands to my chest.
"What do you see?"
He chuckled a few times: "There is nothing to see, there is nothing, naturally there is nothing to see." ”
Suddenly, he said with a straight face: "In the military camp, women are not allowed, so remember, whoever asks you, you are the king's servant." ”
I nodded, shook my head again, bit my lip and said, "Since women are not allowed in the barracks, what are you taking me out for, isn't it quite dangerous for you?" ”
He smiled: "Are you worried about this king?" ”
"Isn't it normal for you to give me money and I'm worried about you?"
Hearing this, he immediately blackened his face: "There is still a lot of time to go to the frontier, you have to get used to spending time in the car, if you are lucky, you can rest at the post station at night, if you are unlucky, you will have to spend the night in the deep mountains and forests, don't be afraid, I am here." ”
"How many days will it take? I'm not afraid of the mountains and forests, I'm afraid...... Is there anything to eat? ”
"Hehe, the place you are worried about is really different, naturally there is food, but it is all steamed bread and other food, don't pick, wait until you get to the place, settle down, and then let you eat a good meal."
I shook my head: "As a marshal, I naturally have to suffer with the soldiers, what they can eat, I can eat, I am not afraid of hardship, I am only afraid of not having enough to eat." ”
When he heard this, he looked at me and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that this king's maid is a backbone. ”
I nodded: "I still have a little more, backbone is just one of them, you will slowly know my good." Let me be your woman, you will definitely not lose. ”
