Chapter 96: Departure
On the sixteenth day of the first month, hundreds of officials opened the court.
Murong Xi got up and wanted to inquire about the trip, but was told that Jiang Huaiyin had already left the house.
In order not to provoke Jiang Huaiyin before leaving, plus the shocking news told by Chu Chengzhi.
Murong Ji hastily wrote a few prescriptions and arranged for Rust to go out of the house to buy them.
He stayed in the house to pack his bags.
An hour later, Rusty returned home with large bags and small bags of medicinal herbs, and Murong Xi began to classify the medicinal herbs non-stop.
When the third medicine bag was opened, there was a pale yellow note sandwiched in the middle of the medicinal herbs.
Murong Xi glanced left and right, and only Shen Yue was the only one in the room packing and saluting.
She was silent, and opened the note naturally, and after seeing the contents clearly, Murong Xi's brain exploded.
"Shen Yue, go and get Rust."
Shen Yue stopped what she was doing, thinking that Rust was not doing well, and bought the wrong medicinal materials, so she trotted and led Rust into the room.
As soon as Rusty Fu entered the door, he saw Murong Xi sitting there with a solemn face, and asked with a confused face, "My subordinates have bought the medicinal herbs?" ”
"It's not." Murong Xi had already hidden the note, and asked seemingly casually, "Where did you buy this medicinal herb?" ”
"Jishitang!" Rust answered truthfully.
Murong Xi: "Is it the medicine handed to you by the medicine boy of Jishitang?" ”
"That's right." Rust didn't know why, but the atmosphere of being interrogated made his heart beat a little faster.
"Is it that the medicine boy is confused and took the wrong one?"
"Nope." Murong Xi shook his head, "Go down." ”
Rust: "? ”
The note looks like it should have been written by Chu Chengshu.
As for why it was hidden in the medicine bag, Murong Xi could only secretly sigh that Chu Cheng had a good way to kill.
The note simply stated the name of a man, his life, and finally where he is now.
Coincidentally, it's Bashu!
Murong Xi took out the note again, looked at the word "Lin Xian" on it, frowned and thought.
The memories of his childhood are confusing, but a young lieutenant who often follows General Murong still has some impressions.
She didn't remember his full name, but she remembered that little Murong Xi liked to call him "Uncle Lin".
Murong Xi put away the note, and her face slowly sank.
-
On the second day, the weather was fine.
Murong Xi thought that Jiang Huaiyin was going to travel lightly.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Ye Lan being her familiar face, there was also a group of fifty elite soldiers behind her.
Murong Xi lowered the curtain and looked at Jiang Huaiyin suspiciously, "Didn't you say that it was not appropriate to work for the people?" ”
Jiang Huaiyin lost his heavy fox fur, and the white brocade clothes showed his figure extraordinarily strong.
He leaned lazily against the wall of the carriage, his upper body swayed slightly with the arc of the carriage's bumps, and said lightly: "This king is on the order of His Majesty to go to the royal hunting ground." If you don't bring elite soldiers, will this king personally go to check it? ”
"Royal Hunting Grounds?" Murong Xi suddenly understood that Jiang Huaiyin was going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and with the words "I understand" in her eyes, she asked along Jiang Huaiyin's topic: "Is it going spring hunting?" ”
Jiang Huaiyin saw that she understood, retracted his gaze and said, "I went to hunt in the spring of the year, but the princess said that she was sick and never went." At this age, it's better to use the Queen Mother as an excuse—"
"I'll go!" Murong Xi almost burst into a rage, "I was really sick last year and couldn't participate." I'm doing well this year! ”
"Oh?" Jiang Huaiyin picked his eyes, his eyes were full of banter, "I'm really sick-"
Murong Xi was frozen by his eyes, and touched his nose weakly, "Anyway, I'm going to go this year." "She also participated in spring hunting, riding horses and archery, which is exciting to think about.
Jiang Huaiyin chuckled: "Whatever you want." ”
The Royal Hunting Ground is only a day's walk from the capital.
We set off early in the morning and arrived at the hunting ground in the evening.
The elite soldiers of fifty people stood in a half-arc shape from afar, bowing in unison.
As soon as Murong Xi got off the carriage with his front feet, he was startled by the momentum of the soldiers.
Even more frightening than the serious soldiers, there was the rustle of the mountain wind.
Murong Xi crossed her arms and rubbed her arms, looking up at the endless forest.
Light snow covered the ground, the sky was not yet completely dark, and the whole area was in gray and white shadows, and only a layer of mist could be seen, and the scenery inside could not be seen clearly.
People are always full of fear of the unknown, Murong Xi took a deep breath, walked to the way to the tent, and subconsciously leaned towards Jiang Huaiyin's side.
Jiang Huaiyin looked at her slightly, the corners of her lips rose slightly, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and coughed fiercely.
Murong Xi stepped forward in small steps and asked with concern, "Is the prince uncomfortable?" ”
The previously agreed plan was to use Jiang Huaiyin's cough as a signal.
Murong Ji reluctantly held his arm, his brows furrowed slightly, "The wind in the mountains is strong, and the prince is afraid that he is infected with the wind and cold." ”
Jiang Huaiyin continued to cough, "It's okay, don't worry too much." ”
"How's that going to work?" Murong Xi stopped, turned his head to Ye Lan and said, "Tell your subordinates to boil some ginger soup." ”
Yelan took the order, and Murong Xi's movements in supporting Jiang Huaiyin were exaggerated, and her voice was so loud that she wanted the beasts in the mountains to hear her words, "The prince is tired from the road and needs to rest, you all stay away, don't make noise to the prince." ”
The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!" ”
Jiang Huaiyin raised his eyebrows, followed Murong Xi's strength, and walked into the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Murong Xi let go of Jiang Huaiyin, and shouted without looking at it: "It's so cold, why don't you make a fire?" ”
The mouth is picking faults, but the body quietly opens a gap in the tent curtain like a thief, and the thief looks around.
Jiang Huaiyin stood upright, coughed emotionlessly, and his voice was tired, "No need, this king doesn't like stoves." ”
Murong Ji didn't look back, leaving Jiang Huaiyin with the back of his head, and replied: "In this way, then the prince will drink some ginger soup and rest early, right?" ”
After speaking, Murong Xi turned to look at Jiang Huaiyin, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, except for the two guards guarding outside, there is no one outside. ”
Jiang Huaiyin lifted his robe, sat on the chair and chuckled silently, "This king knows." ”
Murong Xi: "...... Then, before the prince leaves, should he apply an injection first? ”
"Yes."
-
Just after the ugly hour, the wind in the mountains was loud.
Murong Xi was born afraid of cold, and climbed the mountain for nearly two hours, and was already sweating profusely at the moment.
Fortunately, Jiang Huaiyin knew the path out of Wanfeng Mountain, and along the pre-planned route, the two of them quickly walked out of the royal hunting ground.
Murong Xi propped her hands on her thighs, panting and looking at the river flowing between the two mountains, and sighed: "It's finally here." ”
Jiang Huaiyin pointed to the boat docked not far away and looked back at her, "Once on the boat, the princess can rest." But this king has to say it again, the land of Bashu is poor and the conditions are harsh. If the princess regrets it, it's too late to turn back now. ”
Murong Xi relieved her rapid breathing, straightened up and smiled, "No regrets." ”
Vice General Lin Xian is in Bashu, she must meet Lin Xian in person!
