At that moment, Long Shaoyang was carrying Cheng Bo on his back, Xiao Di was on crutches, and turned back along the forest path, and the three of them went down the mountain, got into the carriage, and went straight to Los Angeles.

Although the arrows in the ambush in the forest were quenched with poison, fortunately, Long Shaoyang sucked out the poisonous blood in time, and when the carriage ran for half an hour and entered Los Angeles, Cheng Bo's face returned to normal, and his breath gradually became even, and Long Shaoyang and Xiao Di's hanging hearts were finally put down. Back in the Zhu House, Long Shaoyang put Cheng Bo on the bed, and found some gold sore medicine from Xiao Mansion to apply it to him, and took care of them one by one. Because the rules of the Xiao Mansion stipulate that ordinary domestic servants are not allowed to enter the Zhu House of the other courtyard without permission, it is as if the three people were attacked in the east of the city and Cheng Bo was injured as if it did not happen, and everyone in the palace should be as usual.

Long Shaoyang originally wanted to take care of Cheng Bo for a few more days, but that night, a eunuch from the inner court came to the Zhushe to announce the decree, ordering him to go to Duanmen in front of the gate early in the morning on the eighth day of the seventh month, and go west with the wedding team. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he deserved to receive thanksgiving.

Two days later, early in the morning, Long Shaoyang changed into new clothes, said goodbye to Xiao Di and Cheng Bo with some reluctance, and then rode on Yueying, beat his horse and whip and went straight to the main gate of the imperial city - Duanmen.

Long Shaoyang rode on a horse and sent it longitudinally, but he saw that both sides of the street were full of color shops, loess sprinkled roads, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from time to time, and there was a joyful scene everywhere. I don't know why, but he can't raise the slightest interest, his chest seems to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, is he worried about Cheng Bo's injury, is he worried that this trip to Xiliang will be unpredictable, or does he want to confront Zhu Xibing? Ask her if she told others the information about her Tuolongshan party? He wanted to question, but he was worried about what to do......

Just as he didn't have a clue, he suddenly heard a sharp voice say: "Long Wei, you can come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here soon, and Lord An will be here for a while." The minions can't find you, and they're about to ask someone to go to the Xiao Mansion to invite you!"

"Let my father-in-law worry!" Long Shaoyang was slightly startled, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Xiao Qiuzi, the eunuch of the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, who said this, and said busily, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I slept for a while in the morning." ”

Xiao Qiuzi said with a smile: "The slave is worried that if the auspicious time is missed, it will be bad! Long Wei rate, return to work quickly! The auspicious time will come." ”

Long Shaoyang nodded, turned over and dismounted, and then found that he had arrived at the main gate of the imperial city - in front of the end gate, but saw that on the huge square, there were more than a dozen carriages parked, led by a four-passenger carriage, gorgeous and spacious, next to the carriage a person riding a horse, armed with a sword, very conspicuous, it was quiet thinking. It was also a gorgeous carriage, slightly less regulated, and embellished with red curtain tassels, which were obviously prepared for the crown prince Xiao Minglong and the bride Cheng'an County Lord. It was followed by several carriages, which were full of large and small boxes, needless to say, naturally dowry items.

The square was crowded with people, and the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion Yin were connected one after another, blocking these people from the capital who came to see the excitement on both sides, and the drumming noise was loud.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the bells and drums of the east and west drum towers ringing in unison, and the music of the end door was loud. The people cheered in unison, and everyone craned their necks to look at each other. When Long Shaoyang raised his eyes, he saw that the end door was wide open, and several columns of iron-clad Imperial Forest Army rushed out, followed by a chariot carried by eight people, one person sat on the chariot, brocade clothes and jade belts, it was the prince Xiao Minglong. Long Shaoyang hurriedly knelt down with everyone and bowed to the ground.

Xiao Minglong waved his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, got off the chariot, glanced at Long Shaoyang, who had stood up, nodded slightly, and got into the carriage.

The celebrant shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"

In the sound of drums and firecrackers, I saw the clattering of horses' hooves, the rolling wheels, and hundreds of wedding processions marching along the streets and avenues towards the west gate of Los Angeles - Pingding Gate.

Long Shaoyang followed behind one hundred and ten soldiers, and Jing Si guarded one person and one horse, one left and one right, in front of the prince's carriage. Looking sideways, I saw that Jing Si's clothes were distinct, and his eyes did not squint, as if he was enjoying the scenery in front of him. Long Shaoyang suddenly felt that this Jinghua crown cover seemed to have nothing to do with him, and his heart was empty, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

Out of the Pingding Gate, past the official pavilion, the music gradually subsided, and the group walked along the official road.

Long Shaoyang rode on the horse, Wu Zi was uncertain, suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves behind him, from far to near, couldn't help but hold the reins, just turned around, only to see a soldier riding a horse has rushed to the front, said: "Deputy Envoy Yulong, the brothers of the Royal Highness found a horse is heading towards the mission, as if to catch up." The little ones couldn't rest assured, so they came to inform the deputy envoy. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed behind him.

Long Shaoyang was shocked, raised his eyes, and saw that a horse on the official road in the distance was like a point, galloping, but the face of the rider on the horse was too far away, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he pulled the mount to the side of the road at the moment, so that everyone behind him could go first, thinking about who was coming.

After a while, the horse galloped closer and closer, and saw the faces of the people on the horse, and their eyes were like beans, it was Xiao Yuanying, the king of Teng.

Long Shaoyang was surprised and delighted, and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Teng, it turned out to be you." As he spoke, he rode forward.

The two horses gathered in one place. Xiao Yuanying gasped and said, "Shaoyang, look at the way that drove me away, it's okay...... Finally caught up!"

Long Shaoyang asked, "Your Highness, you are in such a hurry, but what kind of emergency business trip has Your Majesty arranged for you?"

Xiao Yuanying smiled mysteriously and said: "Haha, it's a good business trip, it's not that His Majesty arranged for me, I took the initiative to ask for it." ”

Long Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Could it be that His Royal Highness is with us-"

Xiao Yuanying clapped his hands and praised: "Shaoyang is really smart, haha, Your Majesty has agreed that I will walk with you." However, I am neither a deputy envoy, nor a chief envoy, so I will just watch the sightseeing with you. ”

Long Shaoyang heard Xiao Yuanying say that he was going to follow the wedding team to Xiliang, thinking that there was one more person to talk to along the way, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's really good, this northwest line, with His Royal Highness here, there is a lot more joy." So I told the prince to go. Then he turned the horse's head.

Xiao Yuanying stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of Long Shaoyang, made a color, and deliberately raised his voice: "Hey, what's the hurry, Deputy Envoy Long, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go and say it in person later." By the way, the book of war that this king borrowed from you last time has a few incomprehensible places, so it is better to take advantage of this time to ask you for advice!"

Long Shaoyang said: "That is the case, Shaoyang listens to His Highness's orders. ”

Long and Xiao pulled their mounts to the side of the road, and after the people behind them passed, the two turned over and fell far behind.

Long Shaoyang smiled and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you today, the gods are mysterious?"

Xiao Yuanying said: "Shaoyang, I heard that you and Xiao Di were attacked in the mountains east of the city yesterday?"

Long Shaoyang was shocked in his heart, and wondered: "How did such a secret matter reach his ears? He smiled bitterly at the moment: "There is really no impermeable wall in this world." ”

"Los Angeles is such a big place, and there are some things that you can't hide if you want to. Xiao Yuanying pursed her lips and said, "Fortunately, Shaoyang, you are not injured." I heard that Cheng Bo suffered a little skin injury?".

Long Shaoyang nodded and said: "Uncle Cheng, in order to save me, the old man took an arrow from the arrow, but fortunately, it is not a big problem, and it will be fine after a period of rest." ”

Xiao Yuanying turned his head sideways and said, "To save you?"

Long Shaoyang said: "Not bad." The Assassins hid in the tall canopy of trees around them, and took advantage of my prostrations to release a few hidden arrows. ”

"Look at this posture, it's coming at you. Xiao Yuanying paused for a moment and said slowly, "Have you found out who did it?"

Long Shaoyang smiled faintly and said helplessly: "Those assassins have been prepared for a long time, and they don't want to entangle when they miss, and they disappear without a trace in an instant. If you want to find out the clues, I'm afraid that it will be difficult - I have already discussed it with Brother Xiao, so I simply don't pursue this matter. ”

Xiao Yuanying was taken aback and said, "What?

Long Shaoyang listened to it silently, let his body lie down with the horse, for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "These people didn't succeed this time, and they won't give up if they don't think about it." If so, why bother—I don't have to go to them, they'll come to me!"

There is some truth to that. Xiao Yuanying nodded, suddenly as if he had realized, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Shaoyang, in this way, aren't you very dangerous?"

Long Shaoyang said lightly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”

Xiao Yuanying listened to these words, glanced at Long Shaoyang suspiciously, and said, "Shaoyang, what's wrong with you today?

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Long Shaoyang suddenly grabbed the reins and looked into the distance motionlessly. Xiao Yuanying was stunned when he saw this, and immediately retracted his hand, and looked in the direction that Long Shaoyang was looking, but saw that there was a hillside not far from the right side of the road in front of him.

Xiao Yuanying was at a loss, and only listened to Long Shaoyang say: "His Royal Highness Lao is worried, Shaoyang's body is fine, but he is a little tired, sleep well tonight, and he will be fine tomorrow." ”

"That's good, hehe. Xiao Yuanying said.

As if he hadn't heard, Long Shaoyang said, "Your Highness, do you know what kind of place is in front of you?" raised his right hand and pointed to the hillside not far away.

"Hey, hey. Xiao Yuanying smiled and said, "What should I be, if it is poetry and songs, I am not as good as you in martial arts, this can not be difficult for me, the place in front of me is called Thirty Miles Slope - so it is named after Thirty Miles Road from the capital." ”

"Thirty miles of slope, this slope and one pavilion, how come I don't know?" Long Shaoyang muttered to himself. He suddenly thought of the day when he rode a horse with Zhu Xibing, and Zhu Xibing defeated himself with the trick of changing horses, and the end point was the thirty-mile slope.

Xiao Yuanying noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong with Thirty Miles?"

Long Shaoyang didn't answer, he looked at it in a daze, sighed for a long time, and said: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green!" Suddenly his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, the hour is not early, let's catch up with the team in front!"

"Ahh Haha!" he said, and followed the horse.
