Chapter 293: Strange Grandson
Garboer disappeared like this, without even a word left.
The emperor aged by more than ten years overnight.
The Queen Mother and the Queen broke down, lying in bed without eating or drinking, leaving only tears.
Cui's distress almost couldn't save the child in his belly.
Even the princes cried silently whenever they saw Fengyang Palace.
Fu Shaoxun endured his grief while analyzing the clues.
Aside from the three envoys who had just left Daqi, he couldn't think of anyone else who could kidnap their little princess.
What he didn't understand was that Garboer wasn't the little fairy who had gone through the calamities? Why was it taken away silently?
And even the rats and Toto couldn't find her traces?
Could it be that there are more powerful immortals than her among these three missions?
At this time, on the official road to the north, a long caravan was moving slowly.
Since they left the capital, they have been stopped by many officers and soldiers for inspection.
The atmosphere was so tense, just because the little princess of Daqi was missing, everyone shook their heads and sighed.
The biting cold wind mixed with snow particles fell on people's faces, and the people who smashed them hurt.
Everyone was eager to bury their faces in their necks, cover them with thick fur, and let the horses go on their own.
The carriages behind were those of the grandparents and grandchildren who had joined relatives and friends with the caravan.
My grandfather was an old man with a white beard, with an old servant named Zhongbo, and a grandson who was no more than three or four years old.
The grandson had a fat head and big ears, and could only smile innocently and occasionally drool.
Uncle Zhong came to the door to discuss with the caravan, handed the caravan two hundred taels of silver, and asked the caravan to allow them to return to the north together.
In order for the caravan to have a dart guard, there is a sense of security.
They were responsible for eating and drinking all the way, and promised not to cause trouble to the caravan.
The leader of the caravan, Brother Zhang, was righteous, and seeing that the grandson of the family seemed to have a bad brain, he was compassionate, so he agreed to their request.
Since the princess's disappearance, all the gates in Daqi have been filled with officers and soldiers.
Every time the officers and soldiers lifted the curtain and saw a little man of a few years old in the carriage of the grandfather and grandson, they would forcibly pull the grandson out of the carriage, look left and right, and finally ask the child to take off his pants to check whether he was a real man.
As soon as he saw that it was, he waved his hand directly and let it go.
Although it was a little troublesome, there was no danger of passing it.
Stopping and stopping along the way, we came to a wooded area.
It was nearly dusk, and the nearest town was more than thirty miles away, so it was obvious that I couldn't get there today.
It became a place where caravans had to sleep in the open every time they went back and forth.
Brother Zhang beckoned everyone to get down from the carriage and cook some food by the way.
After a long drive, it was freezing cold, and everyone was looking forward to drinking a sip of hot water to add some heat to their bodies.
Everyone dismounted one after another, took down the pots and stoves, collected firewood, built stoves, and some went to the river to break the ice and fetch water, and some people took out dry meat and rice grains, thinking of boiling a pot of porridge to get rid of the cold.
Brother Zhang came to the carriage of the old man and his grandson, knocked on the window, "Uncle, come down and drink hot water." ”
Uncle Zhong, who was sitting in the carriage behind, came over and politely thanked Brother Zhang, "Thank you for taking care of the team leader all the way and bothering you." My little master contracted a little cold last night, and now he is hiding inside to cover the quilt, and he doesn't dare to come out casually, so as not to make everyone sick. ”
"Hey, what's sick or not, we people come and go in the wind and rain all day long, with rough skin and thick meat, and we are not so poor and exquisite."
Glancing at Uncle Zhong, Brother Zhang realized that what he said might not be appropriate, so he laughed dryly and said, "If the little boy can't blow the wind, do you want someone to send hot water to the car to use some?" ”
"Uh......" Uncle Zhong hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand, "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, and it is annoying to lead the team." ”
Brother Zhang said politely, glanced at the car window and left.
The old man in the carriage was so strange.
He and Zhongbo stood outside the window and said so much, it stands to reason that the old man in the car should respond anyway, even if it is a thank you, but from beginning to end, there is not a little movement inside.
"Brother Zhang, the people in there are a little unsociable, they look mysterious, they belong to a big family, right?"
Brother Zhang shook his head and whispered: "I don't know, I didn't inquire, the old and the young have walked such a long way, the little ones are not very bright, and it is quite pitiful to say, it is a handful to be able to help." ”
"Brother Zhang, the hot water is boiling here, you drink a little first, and I'll call you when the porridge is ready."
"Okay, pour me more hot water, I'll bring it over and give it to the old man to drink a little, this hellish weather is so cold that it can freeze people's ears."
Brother Zhang sighed in his mouth, and while waiting to get hot water, he stamped his feet in the cold.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the horses at the back of the caravan stomping their hooves restlessly, crowding and colliding with each other.
The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and the occasional neighing, was so lonely under the dim sky that it was inexplicably mad.
There was a person over there, a brother who had followed Brother Zhang for more than ten years, and his name was Suozhu.
"Big brother, there seems to be a beast in the woods. When I took my brothers to collect firewood just now, I felt that something was wrong, so I arranged for someone to keep an eye on it."
"Just now, one of the brothers came and said that he saw a shadow flashing by, and he thought he was dazzled, and then something flew under his feet, and the force was so great that it almost brought him down. Frightened, he crawled over to report the news,"
He said that the thing that knocked him down was fluffy, the size of a monkey, but it wasn't a monkey because it had a pair of long ears. Oh yes, it's not a rabbit either, because this thing has a very long tail,"
"It's too fast, and I can't see what it is. He led people to chase after him for a while, but he didn't catch up, so he walked back, but he didn't expect the thing to hide in the herd, and when he saw someone coming, he quickly slipped away. ”
Brother Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Still don't you see what it is?" ”
The lock post said that he could see it clearly, but he couldn't say what it was, and he hadn't seen it until he was so big. I only remember the sharp-beaked monkey gills, and the eyes are vicious, so scary. ”
When it got dark, the horses began to crowd together again, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves on the ground and the occasional neighing, which gave people a sense of impending a storm.
Brother Zhang glanced back and told the lock pillar: "Let the brothers be vigilant tonight, arrange the people on duty at night, and the fire burns brighter." Prepare a sword and rope and numbing medicine, put it in a handy place, and use it as soon as there is any movement to see if you can catch it. ”
"Okay," the lock pillar nodded, and was about to run, when something hit his head, and it hurt so much that he groaned and tears fell out.
