Chapter 112: On the Road

Ye Jielu entered the palace early the next day to report Shan Zhao's incident to the emperor, and explained the deployment of the border plug, and came out at almost noon.

After Ye Jielu left, the emperor touched his chin, "Defu, do you think I have a talent for pulling red lines?" The matter between Ye Jielu and Ming Lan Ying was an accident before, and I was not optimistic about it, but now the change of Ming Lan Ying has made Ye Jue Law's iron tree bloom. ”

"The matter between the girl of Hebai and the kid of the Shan family is purely helpless, but now that the kid of the Shan family is going to go to the side with them, I don't believe he can't join this family!"

Defu smiled helplessly, "The kid and the girl from the Shan family are still young, and it's not too late to observe and observe, and the feelings can be dealt with." ”

The emperor nodded in agreement, and just wanted to share the matter with the empress, when a secret guard suddenly appeared, holding a bowl of goat's milk paste in both hands.

"Your Majesty, the little prince's goat milk paste is added with a trace amount of tapioca flour that is not easy to reduce, and after a long time, the little prince will be bloated and spit milk, not eat or drink, and cry non-stop."

The smile on the emperor's face gradually faded, his Cong'er was less than two months old, and some people couldn't wait.

"Go check, whoever it is."

"Yes."

The emperor waved his hand lazily, "There are too many people in the harem, so let's disappear first." ”

"Yes."

Come to life, the dark guard disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Defu folded his hands and asked the gods to bless the calamitous little prince to grow up safely, "Your Majesty, are you still going to Changle Palace?" ”

The emperor walked out with a cold expression, "Go and tell the queen that I will go to An Concubine in the past two days and find something to do for them." ”

Defu responded and hurriedly asked people to prepare, the cold wind blew people excitedly, and the sky was gloomy as if heavy snow was coming.

Tang Ning learned that they were going back to Biansai in advance, and brought a cart of things over to see them off.

More than a dozen carriages took the lead from the back door of the palace in a low-key manner, leaving five carriages for the master to set off last.

Ning Er and Shan Zhao went to the last carriage to observe the cubs in the Hundred Beast Garden, they went back to the side plug, and no one in the palace could take care of the cubs, Ming Lanying simply waved his hand and brought them back to the side plug, and the environment of the side plug was more suitable for them to survive.

Ye Jielu and Hebai accompanied Ming Lanying to say goodbye to Tang Ning, Tang Ning smiled and joked to Hebai, "It's a long road, Hebai alone is noisy enough, and now there is one more single son, Lanying's ears are going to be calloused, right?" ”

Tsurubai pretended not to understand and shook his head, "Am I so noisy?" I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will be bored, so I'll talk to her more to relieve her boredom, why is this noisy? How lively this is! Sister A Ning doesn't like to be lively at first glance. ”

A strong argument made Feng Chun laugh, Tang Ning looked at Ming Lanying helplessly, "I still want to invite you to visit the Tang Mansion for the New Year, it seems that I can only wait for next time." ”

Ming Lanying reluctantly hugged her and Fengchun, "Next time I come to Biansai, that is my territory, I will treat you!" ”

Tang Ning hugged her and patted her twice, "Okay, when spring begins, I will go to a neighboring country again, and when the time comes, I will go to you, it's not too early, you should go." ”

Ye Jielu supported Ming Lanying's waist with one hand, and helped her into the carriage with the other, and Ning Er also ran to say goodbye to Tang Ning and Feng Chun sweetly, and was hugged into the carriage by Shan Zhao.

Hebai turned over and waved to Feng Chun, "Let's go!" Remember to miss us! ”

Feng Chun smiled and nodded, "Got it, have a good trip." ”

Shan Zhao and Hebai rode horses to open the road in front, three carriages carrying animal cubs followed, Ming Lanying's carriage was at the end, and while there was still a little time, he lay on the window and looked at Tang Ning, and at a glance, he saw that Tang Ning had an extra sapphire dotted emerald hairpin with a butterfly love flower between her buns.

Tang Ning rarely uses jewelry, and all the jewelry on her body adds up to no more than five pieces, and they are all extremely simple and neat in style, this hairpin doesn't look like she will wear it.

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Ah Ning, have you met a man who is pleasing to the eye?" ”

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, knowing that she saw the hairpin on her bun, but she was not shy, but smiled heartily, "I don't meet it, it's just that my parents and sister are not young, so I chose a suitable one in the door to try to get along first, and I will definitely be the first to tell you when I have it." ”

Ming Lanying looked at the hairpin with a smile, Tang Ning's temperament has never wronged herself, since she has worn it, the proof is still pleasing to the eye, but it is not easy to say that the eight characters have not been put down yet.

The steward finally inspected the carriage and grain, and saluted respectfully, "Congratulations to the prince and princess." ”

"The palace will not be taken back, there are thirty guards and subordinates fixed in the palace, you can take care of it."

"Yes, the little one must live up to the love of the prince and princess, and must guard the palace."

Tang Ning saw that Ye Jielu did not ride a horse, but skillfully held the reins of the carriage and the royal horse, and personally served Ming Lanying as a coachman, his eyes were slightly bent, and he asked half-jokingly: "The prince has a different identity now, will he think about filling the backyard with three wives and four concubines?" ”

Ye Juelu said: "No, no one else in the world can enter my eyes, and a lady alone is enough." ”

Whether it is true or not, these words have made Tang Ning feel some comfort, "I hope the prince can always remember this." ”

Ye Juelu nodded, "Farewell." ”

The carriages in front of them were almost gone, and they had to catch up with the team quickly.

"Ah Ning, I will write to you often!"

"Take care, have a nice trip!"

Tang Ning is not sentimental, even if she doesn't know when she will see you again, she has to say goodbye with a smile.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that Tang Ning and Feng Chun turned back, and when they walked two steps past the teahouse, a shopkeeper came out to block the road.

"It's cold, the girl has been blowing the wind for a long time, and our lord invited the girl to go up and drink a bowl of hot tea."

Tang Ning raised his feet and went in without changing his face, with a frank look as if he was going to an invitation from an ordinary friend, "Since someone is invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Who is the invitation is not to guess but to know Feng Chun glanced at Tang Ning, and said in his heart that the future aunt-to-be is a measured person who knows what kind of distance can handle her young lady.

The carriages of the palace went out of the city in batches, without attracting anyone's attention, Shan Zhao and Hebai led the way in front and went out of the outskirts of the city.

Shan Zhao still wanted to talk to the dark guard, but both the secret guard and the guard were stuffy gourds, and he only responded to the word "um" after he said it for a long time, and he ran to the back to see the cubs because he was bored.

As a result, from a distance, I saw Ming Lanying's carriage next to the chirping crane white, and on the carriage was Ye Jielu driving, and he rode over in surprise.

"Why does the prince drive himself?"

Ye Jielu glanced at him lightly, and said casually: "Don't worry about handing it over to others." ”

Shan Zhao tilted his head and wanted to say something, but seeing that Ye Juelu seemed to be enjoying it, he couldn't say anything to his lips.

Tsurubai snorted twice, "Don't you understand, do you?" A stinky boy who hasn't grown all the hair, how do you know my brother's fun. ”

Shan Zhao sighed, grinned with a mouthful of big white teeth and smiled: "I naturally don't understand the fun of the prince, but I don't want to see it with your own eyes, young master, my hair has not grown?" ”

Ye Juelu: "......"

If it weren't for his innocent face, the whip in Ye Jielu's hand would have whipped him in the face.

Hebai rolled his eyes, "Who is rare that you don't have long hair, and you don't look good when you grow up!" ”

As soon as the wolf cub in the carriage heard Hebai calling himself, he poked out a hairy head from the window with a snort, which was so cute that people's hearts melted, and Shan Zhao wanted to step forward and grab two handfuls, but was squeezed away by Hebai's horse.

"Hey stinky girl! It's better than you, just long hair doesn't grow long! Tsk tsk - standing on tiptoe isn't as high as my gun! ”

Shan Zhao straightened his back on the horse, a head taller than Hebai, Hebai looked unhappy, and whipped on the horse's hips under his crotch.

Shan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and the horse under his crotch was suddenly frightened, raised his neck and roared, opened his hooves and ran forward, and suddenly almost threw him out.

"Hey!! Stinky girl, you give it to the master, I'll wait!! ”

Hebai laughed gloatingly, "Sister-in-law, look! He's been turned so high! ”

Ming Lanying ignored her, and said to Ning Er and the wolf cub with a straight face, "Don't you know if you don't want to learn from them?" They don't look very smart. ”

Ning'er and the wolf cub both nodded seriously, the wolf cub's hair grew out in the winter, and the oily water that Ning'er took care of was very beautiful, Ming Lanying touched two handfuls with her hands, and patted the wolf cub's head at the end.

"You may not have been playing outside for a long time, and there is no one near the outskirts of the city, go play, don't run far."

"Woohoo! Good hosts! ”

The wolf cub slid down from behind Ye Jielu, and Ye Jielu watched its jumping figure disappear into the grass, and then there was a wolf howl from the forest.

There are very few wolves in the mountains and forests not far from the outskirts of the city that will howl during the day, and the secret guards and guards in the convoy are stunned, and Hebai waved his hand and shouted explanation.

"Don't worry, it's the princess's wolf cub."

The wolf howl of the wolf cubs came from afar, and the rhythm of the convoy remained unchanged and continued to hurry, and the weak wolf howls echoed from the cubs' compartments.

They have a lot of carriages, take the official road, the speed is not slow, there is no big mess along the way, stop and go for more than half a month to arrive at Fengcheng, which is the closest to the capital.

There were small snowflakes in the sky, but it didn't affect the hurry.

Shan Zhaogang and Hebai had a fight on the horse, and for a while he didn't notice that he was startled by Hebai's hidden weapon, and finally stabilized the frightened horse, and when he looked up, he found that he had run away from the convoy, so he simply explored the road here and waited.

Let the horses rest, he jumped on the top of the tree on the side with his strength, and looked at the direction of Fengcheng from a distance, but saw a white silk blown by the wind circling and flying in the air.

It seems that someone in front of him has an accident, and the battle should not be small, otherwise there would not be Bai Aya flying out without tying it tightly.

Shan Zhao frowned and muttered, "Borrowed, borrowed." ”

It didn't take long for the convoy behind to arrive, and the guards who led the way greeted Shan Zhao when he saw Shan Zhao on the tree.

"Shan Gongzi, we're going to keep going."

Shan Zhao jumped down neatly and turned over on his horse, "There are people in front of me who are doing white things, and the white silk mourning flags are all raised." ”

There are always accidents when going out, and the guards are not surprised, "I need to report to the prince." ”

"I'll go talk about it, and don't delay it."

Shan Zhao rode to the last carriage of Ming Lanying and told Ye Jielu about this, Ye Jielu glanced at the sky and waved the horse whip in his hand, "Hurry up, find the inn to rest and rectify before dark, don't collide with others." ”

"Okay!"

Shan Zhao rode his horse again to deliver the news to the front, and Hebai hissed, "The past two days don't seem to be suitable for funeral burials?" ”

Ming Lanying was idle and read a book with Ning Er, and when she heard the words, she said: "All have fate, don't talk nonsense." ”

Hebai slapped himself lightly in the mouth, "Sin, sin, sin, shouldn't say, shouldn't say, shouldn't say, shouldn't say." ”

They rushed into Fengcheng not long after the sky was dark, and Fengcheng really hung white flags as Shan Zhao said, but it was not that Shan Zhao thought that there was only one family's white thing, but that there were white silk mourning flags hanging on a street in the city.

The whole main street was desolate and desperate, and the guards at the city gate did not seem to see the white flags, and their convoy entered the city as ordinary merchants, and as soon as they entered, they were stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes on the side of the road.

Because the guards were all carrying knives, they did not dare to come forward, but the crying was more miserable.

"Please, old lady, buy me, I'm cheap!"

"The old lady and the young master are good, this doll is very easy to raise, you can do any job, just give it food."

"Sell your body to bury your father, sell your body to bury your father!"

Ye Jielu and his party didn't expect this to be the case, Hebai quietly pulled down the curtain of the carriage, and rode the horse closer to protect him, now the sky is no longer convenient to hurry, so he had to go inside and find a relatively remote inn.

Ning Er obediently sat next to Ming Lanying and continued to read, the wolf cub lay at his feet and drooped his ears, Ming Lanying protected Ning Er with one hand, and frowned and saw the miserable situation outside through the gap in the curtain.

This is obviously the closest city to the capital, but it is not as prosperous as imagined, but desolate like a small village in the mountains that has been oppressed all year round.

Ye Juelu's eyebrows tightened, "Hebai, go check." ”

Hebai answered, turned over and dismounted and quickly ran to the alley next to him, and suddenly disappeared into the white town.

Shan Zhao in front of him was entangled by a delicate-looking girl, the girl was dressed in thin white clothes, her face was delicate and pretty, and I felt pity for the small appearance of pear blossoms with rain.

"Childe! You bought me! I'm in good health, I'm good at life, and I can do dirty work! Just half a tael of silver! ”

Shan Zhao panicked, hit the horse and dodged, and subconsciously went to look at Hebai behind, but he didn't find her, and he was relieved.

scolded with a cold face, "No silver, get out of the way." ”

He often saw this kind of betrayal and burial of his father, except after the first time, he swore that if he was stupidly deceived again, he would not be single.

Although he can't kill all of them with a stick, he was once bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope.

Now the emperor is a Ming monarch, although he can't make his family rich and have food, but he has achieved the level of being full of food and not freezing to death, not to mention that this is the closest Fengcheng to the capital, with a lot of population, and the new population and levy reported every year are within the normal range, so that the roadside is not selling, then the people's parents are also in vain.

They entered Fengcheng, not the barren mountains and mountains.

There were guards with knives, and the carriage convoy found a large inn to rest unimpeded, and it was already dark, and two lamps were hung in front of the carriage.

Hebai touched the night and climbed into the only open window of the inn, just entered Ming Lanying's room, Ye Jielu stood by the window with his hand, "Brother, it is a mountain bandit who pretends to be an official and often robs houses and houses in Fengcheng, and the county order seems to be in a group with the mountain bandits, it is useless for them to report to the official, someone above has pressed it down, everyone in the city is registered, and can only be taken away by caravans or chivalrous passers-by who occasionally pass by in the city." ”

Shan Zhao was surprised that the closest place to the Son of Heaven was to play under the lights!

"It's really ruthless, how big an official does this have to be supported, so many people in Fengcheng can be suppressed? Hiss-"

Ming Lanying took a sip of tea, "You can meet this thing just on the road, you are busy." ”

When I came to the capital, it was also this road, but the scenery was not the same as at that time, just after Prince Heng's rebellion, some people began to be restless.

Some settings are private, not in any place or place, don't take it seriously, just have fun
