Volume 3 Northwest Look Chapter 70 Ice and Scarecrows
Long and Xiao caught up with everyone, cooperated in one place, and drove northwest along the official road with the mighty car.
In July, the heat was still blazing at noon, Xiao Yuanying couldn't stand the heat, so he rode a horse in the morning and evening, and took Long Shaoyang in the same car the rest of the day.
On this day, Xiao Yuanying sat in the car, as if she couldn't bear the boredom of the journey, and kept moving around alone. After half a sound, he glanced at Long Shaoyang, who was thoughtful on the side, sighed, and said: "I knew that it would be so boring along the way, so I won't ask Your Majesty to go to Xiliang with you, it's really boring." β
"Your Highness, why do you say this? Is it that Shaoyang has not taken good care of His Highness along the way?" Long Shaoyang was stunned and said with a smile.
"Cut, you think, I originally planned to enjoy the flowers and scenery on this way, talk and laugh. Xiao Yuanying pursed her lips and said, "How do you know that you have encountered an ice cube and a scarecrow, do you think this journey can still be interesting?"
Long Shaoyang said strangely: "An ice cube and a scarecrow?"
Xiao Yuanying said: "Yes, you look at the quiet thoughts, since I left Los Angeles, I have been riding a horse to guard the prince's carriage for a moment. That's fine, he has a tense face all day, I haven't seen him smile these days, isn't it like an ice cube?"
Long Shaoyang listened, lifted the curtain of the car, looked forward, and saw that not far in front of him on the right side of the prince's carriage, a person sitting on a horse, with a straight waist, was quietly thinking. He sneered and said, "Your Highness is really a witty word! However, it is General An's duty to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he can't be too careful. As for that scarecrow, Your Highness won't talk about me, right?"
"You still have three points of self-knowledge!" Xiao Yuanying yawned and said, "Since leaving Beijing on the sixth day of the seventh month, I see that you have been in a trance, the whole person is listless, in vain, like a scarecrow, not to mention you, who else can you say?
Long Shaoyang didn't know how to comfort the pampered merry prince in front of him, and smiled helplessly: "Sending relatives for thousands of miles and traveling for a long distance is naturally not as good as the mansion of the prince of Los Angeles, and you will get used to it in a few days." β
"I won't be able to get used to it in a few days!" Xiao Yuanying shook his head, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he approached Long Shaoyang and said, "Shaoyang, since the journey is so boring, let me tell you a joke." β
Long Shaoyang nodded.
"Do you remember the story of the female ghost I told last time in the manor outside the city?" Xiao Yuanying smiled, "Speaking of which, I really have a relationship with that beautiful female ghost, and I dreamed of her again last night." β
"Oh. β
"This time it was the same as the last time, and I dreamed that she was riding on top of me, and her hands were stuck in my neck. Xiao Yuanying gestured as she spoke, "It made me breathless, I couldn't help but think of the method last time, and I planned to do the same." But she was on guard this time, and I tried several times but didn't succeed. β
"Hmm. β
"Seeing that the female ghost's two hands are getting tighter and tighter, at this critical moment, a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind, and I suddenly tore open my middle coat with my hand, revealing the king's white as snow, plump and boneless chest, the female ghost was really stunned for a moment, the two hands gradually let go, and the king turned over, hehe, haha......"
"Hmm. β
"What's the matter, what is my level of telling jokes? It's not much better than the storyteller in the teahouse and wine shop!" Xiao Yuanying laughed and said, "Shaoyang, do you miss a woman? Let me tell you, I heard that the women of Xiliang are the most wild and uninhibited, and they have a different flavor! Don't worry, this matter is on me!"
Long Shaoyang said with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness! But Shaoyang has never liked the matter of Yinfeng making the moon, let alone the entry path, I am afraid that I will disappoint His Highness!"
"Don't like it?" Xiao Yuanying said mysteriously, "Shaoyang, there are no outsiders in the car, tell me quickly, are you thinking about the Zhu family-"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanying hadn't finished his sentence, and suddenly heard someone outside the car say: "Who is talking about Aunt Ben behind her back - the dog can't spit out ivory!" The voice was bright and clear, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.
Long and Xiao were taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at each other, stunned.
Long Shaoyang's heart was shocked, and he felt a light flash in his mind, and he was both happy and resentfulβhe could already hear that it was Zhu Xibing's voice. Just as he was in a trance, he saw the door of the carriage opened, and a figure flashed, and a person had already rushed into the carriage.
The man was dressed as a servant, with straight facial features, clear lines, a pair of beautiful eyes, and a flashing streamer, it was Zhu Xibing who was wearing men's clothes.
Long Shaoyang suddenly understood: "It turns out that Zhu Xibing has changed into the clothes of the servants, and she has already been mixed in the family sending team, but why didn't she find out earlier? How did she get into the team?" As for how she pretends to be fooled, with her eccentricity, it is not difficult. β
He thought in his heart, and before he could speak, he only heard Xiao Yuanying say in a lost voice: "You...... Are you?"
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you don't know me. I wish a certain line will not change its name, and I will not change my surname - Zhu Zhishan!" Zhu Xibing said, his body jumped forward, and he reached out.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanying hurriedly dodged, but the space in the car was small, there was no place to hide, and he just buried his head behind Long Shaoyang in a panic, and felt that the root of his left ear was tightened, followed by a burst of pain, and the whole person involuntarily followed the upward force, and stood up with a hunched waist.
Zhu Xibing lifted his ears and said, "Dead fat man, talking about the girl's family behind his back, no serious!"
Xiao Yuanying hurriedly said: "Miss Zhu, it's all my fault...... Oh, you tap, I'm going to have my ear pulled out by you...... Shall I compensate you, will it succeed?"
"Isn't it a loss, forget it?!" Zhu Xibing said, "Wouldn't that be too cheap for you." Look, this girl won't tear your mouth today?!"
"Ahh
"Dare to mention jokes!" Zhu Xibing said, with a lot of force in his hands, Xiao Yuanying couldn't help but scream again and again.
Long Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't know how to interject, and when he saw Xiao Yuanying signaling his intercession, he smiled and said: "I wish the girl, Shaoyang can guarantee it, the joke told by His Royal Highness King Teng has no intention of insulting the girl." Please be merciful!"
Zhu Xibing said: "Really?" His right hand was still holding Xiao Yuanying's ear, and asked, "Is this true?"
Long Shaoyang nodded.
"It's pretty much the same!" Zhu Xibing looked at Xiao Yuanying and said, "This time I thought you were a first-time offender, and then looked at Long Gongzi's face, spare you once, if you ...... next time"
"There will be no next time, this king promises. Xiao Yuanying rubbed her reddened ears and hurriedly spoke.
Zhu Xibing snorted, straightened his clothes, glanced at Long Shaoyang on the side, suddenly his pretty face sank, and said, "Young Master Long, I have something to tell you, please come with me." As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned and pushed the car door and jumped down.
Long Shaoyang stood up and jumped out of the carriage, only to hear Xiao Yuanying still muttering to himself in the car: "This little girl is too ruthless, alas, Mom, my ears ...... It hurts me......"
Long Shaoyang jumped out of the carriage and stretched out two fingers to the accompanying guards. The guard came to his senses, and in a short time he brought two horses over.
The two men led the horses to give way, and when the team passed, they turned over and got on their horses, unhurried, and fell behind.
After a while, Zhu Xibing glanced at Long Shaoyang, who had a gloomy face, and said, "What's the matter, Brother Long, you don't seem to be happy?"
Long Shaoyang snorted and said coldly: "You still come to ask me." Just imagine, if you are betrayed, can you still be happy!?"
"Brother Long, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Xibing's face was full of surprise, "I don't understand what you mean by this. β
"Do you really want me to explain word by word?" Long Shaoyang said bitterly, "Miss Zhu, since Long entered Los Angeles, you and I have known each other by fate, and it is very speculative. Long has always felt that the girl is bright and decisive, and dares to act, why did she deliberately flicker her words today?"
Zhu Xibing was more and more puzzled by his words, seeing that his title had been changed to "Long", his tone was as cold as ice, obviously narrowing the distance, pondering for a while, and said: "Brother Long, I still don't understand what you mean. If I offend you in any way, please speak up to Brother Long!"
"Good. Long Shaoyang said angrily: "Let me ask you, don't you feel guilty about Cheng Bo's injury?"
"Uncle Cheng is injured?"
"Hmm. β
"How's the injury, does it matter?"
"God forbid, fortunately, his old man only suffered a little skin injury this time, and there is no major problem. β
"Where were you hurt, and have you found out who did it?"
"Hmph. Long Shaoyang sneered, "On the fifth day of the seventh month, the east of the city will drag Dragon Mountain. Rest assured, those assassins were very sharp, and when they saw that they missed a blow, they fled without a trace, and did not cause any trouble to the people behind the scenes. β
Zhu Xibing nodded, suddenly his starry eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Brother Long, you won't suspect that it's me-"
"I only know that you came to Zhushe on the fourth day of the seventh month, and after some questioning, I told you about going to Tuolong Mountain in the east of the city on the second day. Other than that, no one knows about it!" Long Shaoyang sneered, and turned his head away after speaking.
At this time, he was in a state of confusion, thinking that he would know the truth of the matter, but he was a little afraid to face the truth, so he finally chose not to say it explicitly.
Zhu Xibing said in a trembling voice: "It turns out ...... So you really suspect it's me......" She paused at this point, looked surprised and a little sad, and shook her head.
After a moment of silence, he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a man's voice in the distance shouting, "Miss!"
