Chapter 256: The Legend of the Red Cloth

Shen Lingxi's gaze froze on the city tower for a moment, and then moved away lightly.

In the distance, a young man in dark armor was galloping towards a group of cavalry.

I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the man's originally handsome facial features seem to have been sharpened by the wind and sand of the desert, and the outline has become more and more distinct.

Heroism replaces youthfulness, and the whole person seems to be more calm and calm, like a sword out of its sheath, faintly revealing a killing atmosphere.

It's none other than Mu Huai'an, who I haven't seen for many days.

Shen Lingxi was still a little worried that he would be depressed due to the great changes in his family.

Now that I can see him cheer up so quickly, I am naturally happy for him.

Mu Huai'an turned over and dismounted, and saluted the two people in the carriage, "The king of Yunjiang has led officials to greet him in front of the city gate, and the officials have come to guide His Highness." ”

"No need to be polite." Chu Yan's eyes were also filled with relief.

Shen Lingxi turned his head to look at Chu Yan and asked, "Can I ride over?" ”

Her clear eyes, as if they were full of excitement when they were counting Yunjiang, made Chu Yan unconsciously soften her eyebrows.

"Yunjiang is not an imperial city, since you are here, you can do whatever you want, no need to ask my opinion."

Shen Lingxi thanked him with a smile and got up and got out of the carriage.

Under Chu Yan's instructions, Chunjun brought Chu Yan's mount "Treading Clouds" and handed it over to Shen Lingxi.

The whole body of the treading cloud is black, only the four hooves are like clouds of snow-white color.

Shen Lingxi took the reins and stroked its oily and slippery mane, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

This is Chu Yan's war horse.

At the beginning, when Shen Lingxi first saw it, he was in front of the gate of Yunbian City.

I didn't expect that after six years, she would ride it back.

Xu is Shen Lingxi's body has the smell of Chu Yan, and Tayun arched her palm affectionately.

Shen Lingxi chuckled lightly and was about to turn over and get on the horse, but was stopped by Chu Yan.

He took the big red gorilla felt cloak handed over by the chamberlain and draped it on Shen Lingxi's body.

"If you don't want to entertain the officials who greet you, let Pei Zhi take you through other gates into the city." He instructed.

Shen Lingxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he responded, "Okay." ”

She turned over on her horse, smiled at Chu Yan, and raised her whip.

Treading clouds rushed out in an instant like an arrow.

Sure enough, as Chunjun said before, when she rode a horse, she had a posture of ignoring it completely.

Chu Yan glanced at Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huaian waved his hand, turned over on his horse, and rode his horse to follow behind Shen Lingxi.

The cold winter wind in Yunjiang blew Shen Lingxi's scarlet cloak into a hunting sound.

As the war horse galloped, this scarlet and the city tower in the distance gradually merged into one.

This scene, in Chu Yan's eyes, for some reason, suddenly reminded him of the figure that jumped from the tower of the city six years ago.

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly dark, his fingerbones pinched his eyebrows lightly, and he turned around and boarded the carriage, "Catch up, don't let the crown princess wait too long in the city." ”

*

Shen Lingxi rode her horse and galloped wildly, until she could vaguely see the crowd outside the city gate that came to greet her, and then she let out a "call" and slowed down.

Yun Yu was dressed in plain clothes, with a jade crown and tied his hair, standing at the front of the crowd.

Behind him, stood a middle-aged man eight feet tall, wearing a military general's uniform, eyes as big as copper bells, and a beard on his face.

The man's eyebrows were as good as before, with a look of arrogance.

At this moment, he was looking in the direction of Shen Lingxi, his sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see her through.

Yunjiang General Xiao Rui.

He is also the head of the Xiao family.

Mu Huai'an slowed down and followed Shen Lingxi's side.

"How?" He asked, "If you feel unwell, don't force yourself, I'll take you in through the side door." ”

Shen Lingxi smiled, glanced at the void on his side, and said meaningfully, "It's those who owe me my life, not me. ”

Coming out of the carriage and leaving the range of Chu Yan's evil qi, Shen Lingxi's side followed the souls of Liu Meiren, Kui Jiu, and Wuerda.

When you heard her words, she seemed to think of something, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Shen Lingxi's gaze, with a kind of suspicious scrutiny.

Kui Nineteen also seemed to guess something, and his eyes widened in astonishment, and there was a faint glow of water under his eyes.

Liu Meiren and several concubines glanced at each other, and their interest in eating melons was ignited again.

"That's good." Mu Huai'an instructed: "Xiao Rui's side, there is no need to be polite to him, his life will not last long anyway." ”

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly raised, "How do you say this?" ”

At present, Yunjiang has set up a new master, and it is the time when people's hearts are floating.

With Xiao Rui's reputation in Yunjiang, even Chu Yan would not easily move him.

Mu Huai'an lightly hooked his lips, "You'll know then." ”

Shen Lingxi saw that he didn't want to say, so he didn't continue to ask, "Let's go, let's go and meet General Xiao." ”

As she spoke, she rode her horse again and galloped toward the gates of the city.

Yun Yu saw from a distance, a red figure, getting closer and closer to him, in a trance, as if he saw the elder sister of the year, returning from a horse outside the city.

Not only him, but even those behind him, who still had some residual memories of the little princess back then, looked at the figure wearing a scarlet cloak, and there was a trace of trance in front of them.

"Who is that woman?" In the crowd, someone whispered, "How bold is it to dare to wear red clothes in front of the city gate." ”

"It looks like a person from the Great Zhou, but she is followed by General Mu, and General Mu doesn't know how to remind her? Wearing red clothes to enter the city gate is a taboo. ”

"The Great Zhou woman who General Mu welcomed back...... Could it be the crown princess who came to Yunjiang with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"Oh, this princess entered the city gate in red, if there are three long and two short, how can His Royal Highness the crown prince let us go? He was the one who ordered the destruction of the Holy Mountain in the first place! ”

Ever since the saint died in front of this city gate in red, there has been an unwritten rule in Cloudside City-

No woman shall enter this gate, and she shall not be clothed in red.

Just because some people say that the saint was blessed by the destiny of heaven before, and then died tragically, she will definitely turn into a ghost and wander in front of the city gate all day long.

If a woman in red passes under the city gate, she will be possessed by the holy woman, bringing the spirit of injustice into the city, and then a disaster will befall the sky.

Now six years have passed, and Shen Lingxi is still the first woman who wants to enter the city in red.

The crowd was agitated with panic.

General Xiao, who was closest to Yun Yu, glanced at everyone and sneered silently.

His eyebrows moved slightly, and he said to Yun Yu: "The little prince has been back for so long, he should know the rules for entering the city, why don't the little prince remind the princess and ask her to change her route?" ”

"Not necessarily." Yun Yu's eyebrows did not move, and he said lightly: "The crown princess can wear whatever she wants, and others have no right to put her beak." ”

Xiao Rui looked at Yun Yu's appearance, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

He tilted his head and winked at the lieutenant behind him.

Seeing Shen Lingxi's "call", he stopped his horse in front of Yun Yu-

The lieutenant suddenly shouted, "Crown Princess, please enter the city from elsewhere." ”

With him taking the lead, the officials were all empowered, knelt on the ground one after another, and said to Shen Lingxi in unison: "Please princess, enter the city from elsewhere......"

There are four watches today, and the time is uncertain.
