Chapter Seventy-Two: Relief
Chu Yi hoped that he could like the capital, but what she didn't know was that unconsciously, he had already been unable to extricate himself from it.
Chu Yi didn't hear Xiao Yan's words clearly: "What did you say?" β
"Nothing."
Chu Yi looked at his indifferent face, thinking that he was reluctant to leave the palace, so he said: "This palace has to go to the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess is the mother of the county lord of Yongjia, the wolf garden, the county lord was almost injured, and the palace wants to pull the eldest princess together with the palace to investigate this matter clearly." β
After the investigation is clear, Xiao Yan's suspicions will be cleared, she has said so, Xiao Yan will not refuse.
Xiao Yan's thin lips rose slightly, walked into the cabinet, and said: "The minister will change into civilian clothes, and then go out of the palace with the princess, as for what to do, but it is up to the princess to arrange." β
He didn't care about the sewage on his body, and he didn't care what Chu Yi's purpose was, just like he didn't know why he suddenly liked to sit in the courtyard and be distractedβhe felt extra safe with her.
After a few moments, the teenager who had changed into a black robe walked out.
The three of them walked out of the Xuanwu Gate, and even the guards on duty at the palace gate shouted "Five Highnesses", Chu Yi was satisfied, this is what she wanted.
After leaving the palace completely, she looked at Xiao Yan and showed a pitiful expression:
"Before, my father promised the palace to restore the establishment of the Eight Thousand Feather Forest Army, so today the palace wants to go to the Gyeonggi camp to have a look, Xiao Yan, will you help the palace pick people, right?"
She believed in Xiao Yan's vision, in his previous life, he commanded the Yongguo Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but he was the strongest army in the world, with his help, she would definitely be able to select the most elite soldiers in the Gyeonggi camp, and then let them join the Yulin Army.
Moreover, she had already promised Fu Qianqian that she would reintegrate Cen Xiao into the Yulin Army, and she still had to do it herself.
Xiao Yan: "The princess doesn't have to pretend in front of the ministers. β
Chu Yi raised his arms and shouted: "Okay, then let's go immediately, there is only one request from the palace, and that is to squeeze out the Gyeonggi camp." β
Xiao Yan asked: "The Gyeonggi camp is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, can I go in as a minister?" β
Chu Yi curled his lips and said proudly: "There is this palace, who dares not to let you in." β
Thinking that the big demon king in the future was still the humble and pitiful one who followed him in front of him, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows when he walked on the road, and he couldn't wait to catch someone and say to him: See, the big demon king, the guard of the palace.
The three of them walked to the ten-mile long street in Shangjing, and Yin Bing took out a hat with his backhand and buckled it on his head, and then took out two more and handed them to the two.
"Put it on."
Chu Yi was shocked: "Where did it come from?" β
With such a big three-top hat, why didn't she see where the ice was placed?
Drinking ice said: "It is necessary to leave the palace." β
Anyway, every time she leaves the palace, if she doesn't want to be pointed at as a foreigner, she will wear a hat, and the princess is so good-looking, she should also wear it.
As for Xiao Yan, it was a bonus.
Chu Yi thought about it and felt that he had to take care of Chu Xiaowu's ass, so he put on his hat: "Let's go, go to the horse market to find the Gu family's shop first." β
Xiao Yan was puzzled: "Shop? β
"Otherwise, let's go to Gyeonggi Camp." The suburbs of Beijing and Shanglinyuan were not on the way, so she didn't go to snow riding.
The market in Shangjing City is really bustling and lively, shoulder to shoulder, Chu Yi bought three sugar gourds from the roadside and gave one to Yin Bing and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan took it silently, held it in his hand, and didn't eat it until Yin Bing and Chu Yi finished eating.
At this time, Yin Bing saw the sugar shop on Fu'an Street: "Princess, that one-"
Chu Yi quickly pulled Yin Bing and Xiao Yan to turn around together: "No, it's not." β
She lied to Xiao Yan that the candy she gave him was a leftover Nanfu specialty, but she couldn't let him know that she bought it in the capital!
Xiao Yan let the princess grab his sleeve, and he turned around and remembered the shop in his heart.
After a while, the three of them came to the horse market to find the shop with the sign of Gu Zi, and Chu Yi performed a show of the five highnesses on credit, in exchange for three good horses, and left in the excited eyes of the shopkeeper.
Xiao Yan muttered: "It turns out that this is the reason why the fifth prince was beaten by the queen." β
Chu Yi: "......"
Chu Yi took out the token and easily went out of the city.
Riding on the horse, Chu Yi asked, "Xiao Yan, where is the sugar gourd that the palace gave you?" β
"Eat." Xiao Yan's fingertips trembled and said in a low voice.
The horses galloped, shuttling through the green forest, and a few dappled lights and shadows fell on Xiao Yan's eyebrows and eyes through the canopy, turning the coldness around him into tenderness.
He turned his head sideways and looked at Chu Yi at his side.
The princess was picturesque, wearing a green shirt, as if holding the moon and the breeze into her arms, and her red lips were smiling shallowly.
It seemed like a scene only in his dreams.
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that when he was very young, in the horse farm in Yedu, Wei Rudai personally taught him to ride a horse, she put him behind her, manipulated the bridle, and her tone was so gentle.
He learned it quickly, but in order to retain his mother's brief tenderness, he deliberately pretended not to.
Wei Rudai found out about this, but did not blame him, but said, Ah Yan, lying is not a good child, if you really want your mother to accompany you, your mother will accompany you on a horse today.
On that day, the spring breeze was ten miles, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and he and Wei Rudai rode a horse for a day, which was a rare warm moment with his mother in his memory.
Later, after Xiao Ji'an died, he had no chance to ride a horse.
At this moment, Xiao Yan thought, maybe he shouldn't run away from thinking about Wei Rudai, that woman taught him Wen Taowu in just eight years since he was born, told him that the royal family was ruthless, and told him not to trust anyone, and those, in the days after her death, helped him again and again.
Because she was pushed into the snake cave by Wei Rudai when she was young, sent to the beast garden to coexist with the beast, and was assassinated by her enemies, Xiao Yan has always been reluctant to remember her mother.
It wasn't until he met Chu Yi that his heart was rejuvenated with vitality and hope, and he thought, maybe Wei Rudai also loved himself at a certain moment.
He hated her for being ruthless, hated her for not being like a mother, hated her for leaving herself to die without hesitation, just because he wanted her to love him.
Riding a horse freely can always relieve some things.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the station of the Gyeonggi camp, and before they got close, Chu Yi had already heard the sound of the soldiers in the camp training hard.
The Gyeonggi battalion was the most important army of Dayan in addition to the Nanbei Army, with a total of 20,000 men, and together with the officials under Jing Zhaoyin, it was responsible for protecting the safety of the entire Shangjing City, and was led by the chariot general Cen Zijing.
Chu Yi once asked Pillow Xue to investigate the situation of the Gyeonggi camp when the country was destroyed, in the previous life, seventy percent of this army was sent to support Beifu, after the capital was attacked by enemy soldiers, Cen Zijing wanted to lead the troops to rush back, but on the way learned that the emperor had died, Shangjing had broken the city, and his son Cen Xiao had also died in battle.
Helpless, he could only rein in the remnants of the army and go to Linjiang to defect to Chu Zhao.
Later, in Nanyan, Cen Zijing repeatedly made suggestions, hoping that Chu Zhao could send troops to the west to reclaim his homeland, but until she died, he didn't know if his words were successful.
"It's here," Chu Yi dismounted neatly and tied the horse to the tree, "Let's go, let's go find Cen Xiao first." β
"What is Your Highness looking for a minister?" A patrol group of black-armored soldiers appeared, and one of them suddenly spoke.
Cen Xiao was patrolling today, and as soon as he left the station, he saw this sneaky three.
"Who are you, this is the Gyeonggi camp station, and outsiders are not allowed to approach." Another soldier snapped.
Chu Yi followed the prestige, and saw Cen Xiao wearing the black armor of ordinary Yan State soldiers, wearing a long knife at his waist, and he was indeed a lot thinner from his face, and there was a bit of gloomy and decadent atmosphere between his eyebrows.
I haven't seen him for a while, and he is no longer the high-spirited captain of the Yulin Army.
"This palace is looking for you to ask about the situation in the Gyeonggi camp," Chu Yi said straight to the point, "Your Majesty's will to restore the 8,000 establishment of the Yulin Army, presumably Cen Duwei already knows, and this matter needs to be explained in detail after the palace meets General Cen." β
Cen Xiao's eyes widened at this time, and he said in surprise: "The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the princess." β
Chu Yi laughed, and his mood suddenly improved a lot: "Do you think this palace is Chu Xiaowu?" It seems that this disguise of this palace is really seamless. β
Several soldiers beside him also reacted, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I've seen Princess Yongning!" Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose! β
"Get up."
"His Royal Highness and the Fifth Highness do have similar appearances, but they are clumsy." Cen Xiao calmed down, and the sorrow in his eyes dissipated a lot.
"It's okay," Chu Yi said, "This palace is out of the palace and pretends to be a man, just for convenience." β
Cen Xiao glanced at Xiao Yan beside her, he had seen it outside the Wolf Park, and remembered, this young man was Yongguo Proton.
As for why Xiao Yan followed Princess Yongning, Cen Xiao didn't ask much.
"Your Highness, please come with your ministers."
Cen Xiao walked in front, and Chu Yi found that he did walk with a limp.
Finally entered the barracks, at the highest point of the camp, there were two Dayan black dragon flags and "Cen" character military flags that were waving in the wind, Chu Yi looked at the black dragon flag, and his eyes became distant.
After the death of the country, she never saw this flag again.
