Chapter 34: Back to Kyoto
Mo Ruxue had no choice but to follow her, chattering and asking along the way: "Hey, what's your name? Do you live here alone? Why do you live here?"
"Hey, you go slowly, I'm injured, I can't walk that fast!"
The girl turned impatiently: "Who told you to follow me?
"Who told you not to send me out! I don't know the way, so I don't follow you, what should I do?" Mo Ruxue said confidently.
The girl took out a small emerald green snake from the bamboo basket and threatened: "Follow me again, and let it bite you! ”
"If you send me out, I won't follow you. ”
"There is a trail four or five miles west from here, you can go out along that trail, the route is all told to you, you can go!"
Mo Ruxue raised her head and said confidently: "I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, I'm a road idiot!"
“......”
It was the first time that girl had seen such a proud road idiot!
A puff of smoke rose from the valley.
"Oh no!" the girl hurried in that direction.
Mo Ruxue had been following behind, and the place where the smoke was rising was a thatched house, all burning.
"Old man, you are too ruthless! Why did you set the house on fire when you went out and wandered, where did you let me live?" the girl was furious.
"I can take you in, but you have to send me out first," Mo Ruxue said at the right time.
"Who wants you to take it in, it's not like I have nowhere to go, have you heard of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the leader of the alliance is my brother!" the girl said proudly.
"Forgive me for being unheard, I haven't heard of it!"
“......”
"You're going out anyway, that's right, let's go out together!" Mo Ruxue said happily.
The girl glared at her, sighed, and walked in the other direction of the woods: "Let's go!"
Mo Ruxue smiled and followed.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Murong Yan. ”
"My name is Mo Ruxue, it's nice to meet you!"
"I'm not happy!" the girl was still basking in the grief of the burning of the house.
After walking for more than an hour, I finally saw the legendary path.
Mo Ruxue was tired and had no strength, and sat down on the ground: "I really can't walk, let's rest!"
Murong Yan saw that she was indeed very tired, and she was still injured on her body, so she stopped.
She squatted down, tore Mo Ruxue's sleeve open, took out an herb from the bamboo basket, crushed it and applied it to the wound: "This herb is very effective for knife wounds, and when I do good deeds today, I usually have to collect one or two pieces of silver." We have to walk faster, or we won't be able to get out of this forest after dark. ”
Murong Yan handed her the kettle, she took it and drank a few sips before returning the kettle to her.
"Let's go, I'm better!"
After walking for another hour, I finally walked out, and further on the road was the main road.
Murong Yan: "I can't go with you anymore, I'm going to find my eldest brother, it's not convenient to be with you, now that I've reached the official road, you just go straight." ”
"Okay, then we'll have a date later!" Mo Ruxue hugged her fist at her.
After separating, Mo Ruxue walked alone in the direction of the city, and when she was about to reach the city gate, she really couldn't walk, so she sat under a big tree to rest
Mo Ruxue seemed to hear Xiao Yonghan's shouts in the distance, and she stood up happily, it was really him.
"I'm here!" her voice was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and Xiao Yonghan ran straight in the other direction.
Mo Ruxue sighed and said, "It's really no fate!
She limped towards the city gate and walked in front of the officer and soldier: "I am Princess Luo, you go and call that idiot prince back!"
The officer and soldier were overjoyed, in the past two days in order to find her, his legs were about to break, he hurriedly moved a chair for her, and he hurriedly rode on his horse to chase after Lord Luo.
After a while, Xiao Yonghan turned back, and when he turned over and dismounted, he almost made a mistake, and it was really Mo Ruxue sitting at the gate of the city, and he stood there and smiled stupidly.
Back at the palace, Mo Ruxue, who had been tossing for a day and a night, finally fainted due to exhaustion.
Seeing her come back, people were spreading that she had been kidnapped by robbers, and when she came back, she was disheveled, but she was afraid that she had been ruined/ruined.
When Mama Zhang heard these rumors, she was so angry that she wanted to tear those people's mouths.
In fact, she was also worried that if the princess was really ruined, the prince probably wouldn't want her.
After the imperial doctor came to see it, he said that it was fine, but he had suffered a little skin trauma, and his body was too weak so he fainted, and asked his subordinates to boil some porridge, and the princess woke up after a while and asked her to eat a little.
In the palace courtyard, there was a sound of reprimand in the house.
"Are your eyes covered with, have you seen clearly, you said the princess is back?"
Mei Xiang said aggrievedly: "The slave can see it clearly, and she is indeed back." When she got out of the carriage, her clothes were in tatters, and she was carried into the Liuli Garden by the prince. ”
"Disheveled, is she dead or alive?"
"It shouldn't be dead, the slave maid also saw that her mouth moved, she was disheveled, and there were still a lot of blood stains on her clothes, which looked scary. ”
Chu Chu suddenly laughed: "Haha, it seems that our princess was killed by someone, I really don't know how to face the prince when she wakes up!"
Liuliyuan was quiet.
Mo Ruxue slept until noon the next day.
During this period, Xiao Yonghan sent someone to ask her a few times and asked her if she was awake. I heard that she finally woke up, and I couldn't wait to come to Liuliyuan.
When he came, Mo Ruxue was drinking porridge, with a stack of bowls in front of him.
"You've just woken up, don't eat so much at once, your stomach won't be able to stand it. ”
Mo Ruxue put down the dishes and chopsticks and burped: "Finally full!"
"You...... How did you escape?"
"I jumped off the cliff to survive, or you'd see my ghost now!"
Xiao Yonghan looked guilty: "It's this king who didn't protect you well." ”
Mo Ruxue looked at him like an alien, this man was blaming himself?
"It's true that I didn't protect it well, but doesn't the prince think it's too strange?"
Xiao Yonghan pondered for a moment: "Chu Chu won't, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”
Since he thinks so, then she has nothing to say, she will find out about this matter herself, and she must find out who is behind the scenes.
"By the way, what you said about the locust plague in the south has come true, the emperor is very annoyed about this matter now, the contract of Mo He has been passed back soon, and the emperor has not dared to sign it. How did you know there was a locust plague in the south?"
Mo Ruxue's eyes looked at the ceiling, quickly finding a reason in her mind to deal with him.
"A friend of mine said that he knew arithmetic, and he was usually very good at it. ”
Xiao Yonghan obviously didn't believe her words: "Why has this king never heard of such a strange person in Yan Kingdom?"
"That person is in the people, he doesn't show up easily, and it's normal that the prince doesn't know him. ”
"What is his name, but I know where to find him, and the emperor wants to see him. ”
Mo Ruxue dealt with him impatiently: "No, he has traveled all over the world, and I don't know where to find him, the emperor's top priority now is not to raise food?"
Xiao Yonghan sighed and said: "Unless there is a miracle now, if the food is taken out, the people of Yan Kingdom will be hungry, so the emperor does not plan to sign this contract." ”
"Mo Heguo will not give up, they have already planted heavy troops at the junction of the two countries, and if the contract fails, they will be robbed," Mo Ruxue said with a solemn face.
"How do you know this? Your friend told you about it? It's a military secret. ”
"This princess is patient, she knows a lot of things, you will know in the future!"
“......”
