Chapter Seventy-Three: Heading South
When she rested that night, Princess Jianning made an excuse to drive Shuang'er away, and Xiang Yan sneaked into the room where Princess Jianning lived. After some clouds and rain, Xiang Yan hugged Princess Jianning and said, "Princess, after dawn, I will leave for Yunnan with Shuang'er, and Xiaobao will find a few more people to serve you." Princess Jianning said vigilantly: "What are you doing in Yunnan?" Xiang Yan said: "Have you forgotten? The emperor asked Ruidong and me to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to the palace! We're not done yet, and of course we have to keep doing it. ”
Princess Jianning said: "Didn't Ruidong go to Yunnan?" You don't have to go. When we return to the palace, I will intercede for you in front of the emperor's brother. Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and thought, "Where do I dare to go back to the palace?" He said, "Didn't I tell you before?" The leader of the Shenlong Sect poisoned me and asked me to take Chen Yuanyuan to Shenlong Island before he would give me the antidote. ”
Princess Jianning asked again: "What are you doing in Yunnan?" There's nothing between the two of you, right? Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense. Xiaobao plans to take Shuang'er as a concubine, what can she have between her and me? In fact, it is mainly Shuang'er who goes to Yunnan, and I am just adding to it. I told Xiaobao about my poisoning, and Xiaobao promised to send Shuang'er to Yunnan to help arrest Chen Yuanyuan. Don't underestimate Shuang'er, although Shuang'er is young, he has great ability. Princess Jianning said: "In this case, just let Ruidong and Shuang'er go to Yunnan, you don't have to go." ”
Xiang Yan said: "The two of them are not poisoned, but I am the one who was poisoned, how can I sit still here?" Princess Jianning found a comfortable position in Xiang Yan's arms and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry. When we go back, I will ask the doctor in the hospital to help you detoxify, there are famous doctors in the hospital in the world, and they will definitely be able to detoxify you. In addition, I will ask the emperor's brother to send someone to exterminate the Divine Dragon to teach you to be angry, it's okay. Xiang Yan sighed secretly and was silent.
The next day, Xiang Yan went behind Princess Jianning to find Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er. Xiang Yan said: "Xiaobao, do you have any tokens that can let your aunt know that we are your friends?" Wei Xiaobao took off a longevity lock from his neck and handed it to Xiang Yan: "This is the longevity lock that my mother asked for me in the temple, you show this to my mother." He took out a large stack of silver tickets from his bosom and said, "I am happy in the capital, but I never thought of sending money to my mother, and I really have a bad memory." When you went to Yangzhou this time, you helped me hand over the 100,000 taels of silver tickets to my mother, told her not to worry about me, and told her that I would go back to her when I was done. ”
Xiang Yan glanced back at Shaolin Temple, sighed, and walked down the mountain with Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er. It is said that a husband and wife are a hundred days of grace, but how can Xiang Yan and Princess Jianning be more than a husband and wife for one day? If possible, Xiang Yan really didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, but Xiang Yan really didn't dare to go back to the palace with Princess Jianning. Alas, when Princess Jianning found out that she was saying goodbye, I don't know how she would react.
When the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, Wei Xiaobao had hired two carriages to wait at the bottom of the mountain. Xiang Yan and Shuang'er said goodbye to Wei Xiaobao and got into a carriage and went to Yangzhou.
The two traveled all the way south, stopping in a small town that night and resting in a small inn. At dinner, Shuang'er didn't sit down, but stood aside. Xiang Yan wondered: "Shuang'er, why don't you sit?" Shuang'er said: "No." How can I eat at the same table with Xiang Gongzi? It's so unruly. Xiang Yan smiled: "I'm not Xiaobao, why do you have to talk about so many rules?" ”
Shuang'er still shook her head and said, "No." My parents, as well as my two elder brothers, were all killed by Aobai, Xiang Gongzi, you and Xianggong killed Aobai together, and hugged a big enemy for me, Xiang Gongzi is a friend of Xianggong, I can't be unruly in front of you. Xiang Yan said: "I'm sitting here eating, you are watching from the side, I eat awkwardly." ”
Shuang'er had to pull out a bench and sit diagonally on the edge of the table. Xiang Yan looked at Shuang'er and thought that he would be protected by this little girl all the way, and his heart suddenly felt awkward. But to ask him to leave his hands and move forward alone, after all, he is still a little timid. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that face was not as important as my own safety.
Looking at Shuang'er again, she ate very restrainedly, and couldn't help but say, "Shuang'er, you don't have to be so restrained." As long as you protect me to Yangzhou, and invite the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society to detoxify me in Wutai Mountain, that is, you will repay me. Shuang'er said firmly: "Xiang Gongzi, don't worry!" I will definitely send you to Yangzhou safely, and I will rush to Wutai Mountain as soon as possible to ask the heroes of the Tiandihui to help you detoxify. Mr. Chen has great powers and will definitely be able to help you detoxify. Xiang Yan was greatly embarrassed in his heart, and he was secretly relieved.
Along the way, Xiang Yan was worried about the two coachmen, who were worried that the two coachmen would see their money, and they were afraid that they would run into a black store when they lived in the hotel, and they were afraid that they would encounter bandits and gangsters on the road to find fault, but fortunately, the road was very safe, and nothing happened to Xiang Yan that worried about him. It wasn't until he entered Yangzhou City that Xiang Yan's heart fell into his stomach.
