Chapter 50: Qicheng
Out of Qingcheng, go to the Bingyue River, 800 miles away.
Chen Xi looked back and looked at the carriage inlaid with gold and jade, it had to be ten days and half a month to go.
This trip came out of Wangyunmen, now Chen Xi is happy, now looking back at Yunmen, seeing Mo Feng, Chen Xi really doesn't know what to say.
Chen Xi knew that most of those secret guards would secretly follow him, unlike two years ago, Chen Xi felt that someone wanted to die by himself now.
For example, the old dragon at the top of the Heavenly Demon, or the second prince, or the group of foreign Korean elders in Mocheng who felt that they had been tricked.
Chen Xi squinted his eyes slightly, and in his heart, he had already given the number one suspect in the assassination of Han Jueming to the elders of the Han family!
......
Six days later, the convoy was neither fast nor slow, and Zhao Yuyu rarely took the initiative to ask Chen Xi about cultivation, which made Chen Xi feel uncomfortable.
However, after six days, Zhao Yuyu's intelligence really made Chen Xi a little uncomfortable, and Chen Xi almost only told Zhao Yuyu about cultivation, Zhao Yuyu had already understood it, no wonder a few years ago, the female palace master of Bing Yuhe wanted to accept Zhao Yuyu as a pro-apprentice.
After many years, Zhao Yuyu changed her mind, and Bing Yuehe immediately showed an attitude of acceptance, which seemed to be more based on Zhao Yuyu's talent than Zhao Yuyu's identity.
After all, Bingyue River and the Heavenly Extreme Sect have always been close, but the Heavenly Extreme Sect is not close to the royal family.
Originally, the Yashan Fort was also inclined to the Tianji Sect, but this time after the royal family sent troops to relieve the siege of the Yashan Fort, the Yashan Fort completely fell to the royal family's side.
It's not that Tianji Sect is interested in working against the Nanqing royal family, but because it is rumored that Tianji Sect is the lower sect of a big sect outside, so there is no need to bow to the Nanqing royal family.
This world is like this, strength is everything.
Outside Qicheng, the convoy drove slowly, and in the village, there was also cooking smoke slowly rising.
rode ahead, turned around, came to Chen Xi's side, and said respectfully: "Childe, there is a family in front of you, let me ask?"
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the people in the distance, and then smiled lightly: "Brothers, I have worked hard for a few days, and when I entered Qicheng, I spent money, please have a good meal." ”
A few riders around hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the son is hard." ”
Chen Xi smiled: "Okay, that's it, that's it, I'll ask for directions this time, you guys wait for a while." ”
"This ......"
Chen Xi smiled at the man, and then rode away.
On the carriage, Zhao Yuyu couldn't help but open the curtain, Chen Xi took the initiative to ask for directions, it is rare these days, after all, although this team of cavalry is strong, but in the end it is not a monk, Chen Xi is the highest combat power here, and he is generally guarding next to the carriage.
A maid in front of the carriage hurriedly looked back and asked, "Your Highness?"
Zhao Yuyu smiled and said, "It's okay." Then he closed the curtain.
Chen Xi rode a horse and came to a small hillside, looking down, a house stood in front of it, not big, but clean.
From time to time, dogs bark and chickens crow.
Today there is no wind, curling smoke, straight up to the blue sky.
Chen Xi scratched his head, and then rode down.
At the door, Chen Xi had already dismounted, and then gently patted the wooden door, and the rain washed away the wooden door, so that the wooden door showed stripes of lines.
In the yard, about the dog, rushed to the door, and then barked, and a moment later, a light footstep came, and a woman's voice came out: "Go, rhubarb." ”
The door opened lightly and halfway, and a woman showed her head, not very good-looking, thirty-year-old appearance, just not ugly.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "This sister, ask the next road, how to get to Qicheng?"
The woman sighed, cut her hair, walked out of the door, and pointed to the east side: "Follow this road, walk two miles, you can reach the official road, and a few miles along the official road, you will be Qicheng." ”
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, sister is really good-looking." ”
The woman smiled, looked at Chen Xi and said, "You little boy, how can you learn from others to be flamboyant, is it really good to play tricks on others like this?"
Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth, my sister is really good-looking." ”
The purple light in Chen Xi's eyes flashed, and he added in his heart, especially in the purple gas flashing in my eyes, my sister is really good-looking.
The woman is going back.
Chen Xi hurriedly said, "Hey, there is one more thing to trouble my sister." ”
The woman looked back at Chen Xi suspiciously.
Chen Xi smiled: "We are a group of several people, and we have eaten dry food for a few days, and we are willing to buy what my sister has to eat at home." ”
The woman shook her head and said, "Our things are not for sale!"
Chen Xi was a little puzzled and said: "We are willing to pay twice or even three times the price, it is all up to my sister's price." ”
The woman returned to the door, glanced at Chen Xi and said, "It's all said, we don't buy things at home." ”
Then he closed the door, and Chen Xi shouted again before he had time.
Outside the door, Chen Xi looked at the wooden door and smiled slightly: "It's a little interesting." ”
Chen Xi mounted his horse and turned back.
The woman in the door leaned against the door, and when she heard Chen Xi leaving, she couldn't help patting her chest before returning to the house.
Returning to the carriage, Chen Xi reported to the carriage: "Along this road, walk two miles, you can reach the official road, and a few miles along the official road, you will be Qicheng." ”
Zhao Yuyu lifted the curtain, stared at Chen Xi and said with a smile: "Hey, why did you go and ask for directions in person?"
Chen Xi looked at Zhao Yuyu's big eyes, and then hurriedly looked away and said, "It's a little boring, just go and relax, just scatter." ”
Zhao Yuyu pouted, looking at Chen Xi and only feeling funny, she didn't laugh at Chen Xi, and closed the curtain.
Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Let's go!"
After walking for a while, a rider next to him approached Chen Xi with a smile and said, "Childe, childe, what is in that house, you can tell us." ”
Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's just an old and ugly old woman." ”
The woman who was in front of the stove at the moment couldn't help but sneeze and rub her nose.
The procession passed by the house in the suburbs, did not stop, and went straight away, just the dog in the yard, not forgetting to bark a few times.
When the team left, Chen Xi looked back and looked at the house, and there was a trace of demonic aura exposed......
......
Although there was already news that the Nine Princesses would pass by in Qicheng, no one was sure of the specific time, after all, there was no official announcement, and whether the Nine Princesses would pass by without stopping, or staying for a few days, who knows.
However, the city lord still put in a lot of effort, and he had already instructed several of the most famous cooks in the city to report to the city lord's mansion immediately if the ninth princess entered the city.
And now, this team is slowly entering Qicheng.
The people along the street seemed to have been prepared for a long time and began to welcome them, which of course was also ordered by the city lord.
The city lord who heard the news hurriedly got up from a recliner in the backyard, Zhu He, a city in Qicheng, was also fat and ran like a meat ball.
The procession drove to the front of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord was already standing on both sides with the city officials.
The carriage stopped, and the officials greeted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
A noble voice came from the carriage: "No need to be polite. ”
Chen Xi smiled lightly, this voice, this little princess did a good job.
The maid lifted the curtain, Zhao Yuyu stretched out her jade hand, supported the back of the maid's hand, and walked out of the carriage.
The city lord couldn't help coughing, and the surrounding government soldiers hurriedly scolded passers-by to leave.
The city lord hurriedly came to the princess, turned around and said, "Princess, please!"
Zhao Yuyu entered the City Lord's Mansion first.
Chen Xi got off the horse, and the city lord immediately noticed it, and quietly leaned towards Chen Xi inside: "Young Master Chen?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Oh?
The city lord said with a smile on his face: "I don't dare not recognize it." ”
Chen Xi nodded, turned around and threw a money bag at the captain of the team and said, "I said that I had a treat." ”
The captain couldn't help frowning and said, "This ......"
Chen Xi said with a smile: "Fang Xin, with the city lord here, the princess will never lose a cold hair." ”
"Yes!" said the city lord, "never, unless you step over my corpse." ”
The captain nodded, but he still made up his mind, and after eating, he rushed over.
In fact, for Chen Xi, if there is really something that threatens him, then this group of cavalry will not be of much help, the reason why the emperor is so relieved is because this road is in the land of Nanqing, no matter where it is, there will be someone to protect Zhao Yuyu.
The city lord turned around and smiled: "Young Master Chen, please." ”
Chen Xi smiled: "City Lord, please." ”
"Or Chen Gongzi will invite ...... first"
"Or the lord of the castle, please ...... first"
......
"Together, together...... Hahaha. ”
Chen Xi is familiar with this set, but today he just thinks it's interesting.
The sun is about to set, and the clouds are all over the sky.
The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit.
The famous chefs in the city are racking their brains.
Chen Xi looked at the dazzling array of delicacies at his table, and Zhao Yuyu sat on the main seat, but he didn't show any emotion.
Unexpectedly, Zhu He, who was opposite Chen Xi, didn't eat much, I am afraid that he would lose his manners, after all, the food could not be eaten that day, and the ninth princess walked over and walked over.
Zhu He couldn't help but get up and said: "The weather is close to autumn, and the maple leaves of Dushan outside the city are a must in the nearby cities, if Her Royal Highness the princess is interested, you can go and play, and the lower officials will definitely prepare for Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Zhao Yuyu just replied politely: "Thank you city lord." ”
But Zhu He still sat down satisfied.
At this moment, outside the hall, a sound of footsteps came, and Chen Xiqi's realm was complete, and he would definitely be able to distinguish the footsteps in the noise.
Didn't serve the food, didn't stop it, didn't report it?Chen Xi couldn't help frowning.
A man appeared at the door, less than thirty years old, even Chen Xi couldn't help but admire, this man was a handsome man, and he had more charm than those young people.
When this person came in, he knelt on the ground, and the whole hall was silent for three minutes, and the man said: "Qicheng and the chief soldier of the five cities, Ding Zhisheng see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Chen Xi noticed the change in Zhu He's complexion and was extremely disgusted.
Zhao Yuyu glared at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi smiled, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the man, the hilt of the sword was lightly pressed on the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who dares to enter the hall without reporting." ”
