Chapter 385: None Left
In the distance of the official road, a team was slowly moving in the direction of the capital.
This is a large Imperial Forest Army, at least the size of a hundred-man team, and from the commander to the soldiers, they are all fierce, and at first glance they are not the kind of fancy goods who can only hold gold honor guards.
In the middle of the team, three carriages walked slowly, and the big man who drove the carriage was also dressed in military uniform, showing the grandmaster's bearing in his gestures, and at first glance he was not an ordinary chariot and horse sedan driver.
In the first carriage, sitting on the end was the old eunuch Bai Gonggong, who was carrying a big stove in his arms, and his somewhat rickety body swayed along with the carriage, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
In the second carriage, Xu Mingyue shrank a little lazily on the cushion, covered her mouth and yawned slightly.
"Sit up straight, what kind of body are you like now?"
Beside Xu Mingyue, a beautiful woman with an elegant body gently raised her hand and patted her body, which immediately provoked a coquettish low hum.
"It's not easy to go out of the palace to play once, don't ask your daughter like that with a strained face, okay?"
"We didn't come out to play, but to ......" The woman paused abruptly when she said this, and after a moment of silence, she smiled faintly, "Forget it, you are still young, and I can't understand it when I tell you, but you have to remember that the queen mother is your mother, the best person in the world who is best for you, and the least likely to harm you...... I see you're a little tired, so close your eyes and go to sleep. ”
Xu Mingyue covered her mouth again, yawned a little, and suddenly felt that she was really tired, so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes after a few breaths, she couldn't help but mutter, forced herself to suppress the more and more sleepiness, and lay down towards the small cushion and pillow that she had already laid out.
At this moment, Father-in-law Bai, who was sitting in the first carriage, suddenly opened his eyes, and came to the top of the carriage in a flash, looking into the distance ahead with a calm face.
"Father-in-law Bai, is there a situation ahead!?"
The commander of the hundred-man guard suddenly became serious, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the long knife on his waist, and at the same time, his left hand was raised upward, and in an instant, all the soldiers raised their guard level, ready to meet the enemy at any time.
"It's not certain yet, but something seems strange in the distance. Father-in-law Bai narrowed his already small eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wei Guard......"
"The subordinates are here, please give an order from your father-in-law!"
Bai Gonggong stretched out his hand and pointed to the city that was already visible in front of him, and muttered, "Our family feels that the road ahead may be a little unstable, for the sake of safety, the advance horse is ordered to speed up, and a team of men and horses are sent to prepare to respond and report, and the left and right flanks will strengthen patrol vigilance, and the brigade will unsheath its swords and wind its crossbows, ready to meet the enemy at any time." ”
"My subordinates understand!"
A fine layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Wei guard, and he secretly said that he was really afraid of anything, if something happened to the two nobles in the middle carriage behind, even if he was just frightened, then he would be at the end, and he might even fall into a situation from which he could not recover.
He kicked the horse's belly suddenly, and immediately accelerated to the front of the team, conveying the order of the white father-in-law, and it didn't take long for the whole team to become tense in an instant, and it was already in a state of imminent battle in advance.
"Father-in-law Bai. The curtain of the carriage in the middle was lifted open by a slender hand, and the graceful woman poked out half of her cheek.
"The Queen's Mother. Father-in-law Bai floated down from the first carriage like a withered leaf and stood respectfully beside the second carriage.
"What's going on?"
"Back to the queen's mother, the old slave just faintly felt that something was wrong, and he had already sent someone to find out. ”
She frowned slightly, "Is that one of those things?"
Bai Gonggong was silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "The old slave is only suspicious, but in the end, it needs to be really confirmed." ”
She gently stroked Xu Mingyue's long hair, which had fallen asleep, and her face remained unchanged before asking, "How far is it from the capital?"
"It's about fifteen miles away. ”
"Fifteen miles......," she nodded slightly, "So, we have to travel at least ten miles before we can step into the protection of that sword?"
"Please also rest assured that there is an old slave here, and she will definitely protect the safety of the mother and the princess. Bai Gonggong paused for a moment, and then said, "If there is really a terrifying news of strength in the suburbs of the capital, and the power is unscrupulously released, Concubine Luo Niangniang will be aware of it, and then the old slave and Concubine Luo Niangniang will echo each other from afar, and the swords and palms will come out, and they will be safe and sound." ”
"That being the case, then the palace is relieved. ”
The curtain of the carriage was slowly lowered, and she slowly turned the green wrench in her hand, staring down at Xu Mingyue's somewhat reddened face in her sleep, not knowing what she was thinking.
................................................
Gu Juan looked at the carriage that had become a blur of flesh and blood expressionlessly, while secretly studying the green star that had just been devoured and absorbed by him, while thinking about the plan that the cat-faced woman had just said.
What exactly are those plans, and what are their purposes?
Moreover, it is clear from her words that the participation in this project is by no means an anomaly, but an organization with a division of labor, discipline, and purpose.
Originally, he thought that this was just because of his special physique and special luck, so he could encounter this situation when he went out of the city on a random day, but now it is obvious that this is not the case, according to the cat-faced old lady's statement, even if he has been hiding in the Ye Luo Garden and locked up in a small building to become a unification, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the end of being involved in the end.
Now it depends on what the scale of this so-called heterogeneous organization is, what exactly it plans to do, and he can prepare for it in advance.
Before he could deeply comprehend the usefulness of the turquoise star-dotted light he had absorbed, Gu Juan was attracted by a series of moans/groans, and when he turned his head to look, he found that everyone else had already come to his senses and was looking around in a bit of confusion.
"My lord, what about the two women in the carriage?" Han Xiong leaned over, first blocking Gu Juan behind him, and then bent down and lowered his head to get closer, his eyes widened suddenly, and his huge nostrils took a few deep breaths.
"Don't smell it, it's blood, it's already mushy inside...... Luoshang, stay away, don't look at these things that are not suitable for children. Gu Juan grabbed Luosheng, who also wanted to move forward, lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "Pay attention to the person named Zhao Bo, what happened just now is not so simple." ”
As he was talking, his face suddenly sank, and he sighed at Han Xiong and said, "You can really say anything...... Xiong, leave that Zhao Bo behind, no one else will stay, do it!"
