It was almost noon, Xin Youtao dressed up and stood at the entrance of the valley.
He stepped on solid snow and ice with one foot and hesitantly stepped into the meadow, he had heard of the strength of the horses, and although there was not a single horse in sight, he decided to be cautious.
"Mu Xingqiu!"
Xiaoqiu walked out of the house, wearing his cleanest set of clothes, the bun on the top of his head was combed smoothly and neatly, at least he had made efforts to meet the princess, Xin Youtao felt quite satisfied, and threw a package far away, "This is your clothes, put it on!"
"Is there a problem with my clothes?" Xiao Qiu was slightly annoyed, thinking that being a follower for a day was a very simple transaction, but the governor had a few twists when he arrived.
"No problem, but since you want to be my entourage, you can't wear Pang Shan's ordinary clothes, my sister will recognize you. ”
"Your sister is a princess, and she still cares about an entourage?" Xiao Qiu muttered, picking up the package and going back to the house to change clothes.
It's still a short coat, long pants, a robe and cloth shoes, it doesn't look much different, but the materials are all different, Xiaoqiu doesn't know it, but she just feels very comfortable to wear on her body, so relaxed that it's as if she didn't wear it, and it's slippery to the touch, "I'm a disciple of Jingshan in chaos." ”
The two of them went out of the valley to the west, and along the way they saw many disciples of the Zhiyi Institute, all of them were excited, Xin Youtao explained: "From today until the end of the month, it is the day of Pangshan's relatives, and only disciples who have been out of Yangshen Peak for more than three years will have the opportunity to see their relatives. You see, the Pangshan Dao system is so unkind, of course, cultivators always have to cut off the seven emotions and six desires in the end......"
Xiaoqiu didn't squeak, even if Yelin Town was still there, his father and younger brother didn't have the money to come from thousands of miles away to visit him.
Xin Youtao laughed twice, and suddenly whispered, "Walk behind me." ”
"What?"
"You are an entourage, of course you have to walk behind. ”
Xiao Qiu turned around, and there were five Zhiyong disciples walking together not far behind him, looking at his side with curious eyes, it turned out that Xin Youtao wanted to take the opportunity to show off, "Okay, then our transaction will start from now on." ”
"Wait. Xin Youtao hesitated, Xiaoqiu was only willing to be an entourage for one day, and he couldn't waste it on inconsequential things, "Forget it, I said start and start again." ”
An hour later they came to a small market, in which a wide north-south road ran through it, with no end in sight on the south, and a valley on the north, which was a few miles away, branching off into an east-west path leading to the ashram.
"This place is called the Immortal Collection, and that is Jinghu Village, you have never been out before, have you?" Xin Youtao asked.
Xiao Qiu nodded, back then, the young people in Yelin Town were all brought directly to Jinghu Village by Sect Master Ning, only Shen Hao had come out to see his uncle, and the others didn't know what it was like beyond the valley.
The name of the immortal collection does not match the truth, there is no Taoist atmosphere, there are only two rows of simple wooden houses, most of them are all kinds of shops, and there is an equally simple inn in the north, which can accommodate thirty or fifty people at most.
"When I first came, my heart was chilled when I saw what this place looked like. Xin Youtao sighed, "I really don't understand, why Pang Shan doesn't let outsiders enter Jinghu Village, it is like a place for cultivation." ”
Today's immortal market is more lively, the disciples who came out to greet their relatives stood at the south end of the market in anticipation, and the merchants on both sides shouted vigorously, hoping to take the opportunity to sell a little goods.
"Xiaoqiu!" Shen Hao squeezed out of the crowd, ran over excitedly, and glared at Xin Youtao suspiciously.
Xin Youtao subconsciously took a few steps back, and also looked at the main road to the south, sighing from time to time, feeling that it was really losing his identity as a prince to be crowded with everyone.
"Can you go down the mountain?" Xiaoqiu was very happy to see his acquaintance, and couldn't help but look around a few times.
"Only people visiting relatives can go down the mountain, Fangfang didn't come. Shen Hao understood who Xiaoqiu was looking for, and said with a smile: "Fang Fang is amazing, she survived the Mud Pill Palace Tribulation not long after entering Old Ancestor Peak, and now everyone says that she will definitely be the first to condense Qi into a pill." Xiaoqiu, can you imagine, Fangfang suddenly made strange progress, and even Shen Ji couldn't compare to her!"
"She's always been smart, otherwise the Forbidden Mystic Section wouldn't want her. Xiao Qiu said lightly, Fang Fang's spiritual bone Dao root, he has never revealed it to anyone.
Shen Hao glanced at Xiaoqiu, turned the topic away, and swept his gaze to Xin Youtao, "What's going on?"
"I accompanied him to visit his family. ”
"Xin Youtao, have you forgotten that he's a villain?"
Xiaoqiu was about to open his mouth to explain, when the crowd was in a commotion, and they all shouted excitedly: "It's coming, it's finally here." ”
A team of carriages and horses slowly drove on the horizon on the main road to the south, and some disciples couldn't wait to catch up, Shen Hao ran along, "Let's talk later." ”
Shen Hao used to have a very stiff quarrel with his uncle, it seemed that he had reconciled, Xiaoqiu looked at his back, and couldn't tell what it was like, Shen Hao was now a disciple of the Discipline Department, and sooner or later he would be able to condense his qi into a pill, but he had to wait hard, the only good news was that Fangfang's side was making rapid progress.
He swallowed the bitterness in his heart, used it as a refreshment, and saw that Xin Youtao's expression was wrong, so he walked to his side and asked, "Isn't there your sister?"
Xin Youtao kicked the frozen snow on the side of the road boredly, "There must be a flag when the royal family travels, do you see the flag?" suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiaoqiu, "I want you to beat Shen Hao, at any cost." ”
"Priceless. Xiaoqiu's eyes turned cold.
"He hasn't condensed into a pill yet, he's about the same as a senior brother, and he definitely can't beat you. Xin Youtao looked at Shen Hao's back, "Do you still think he is a fellow countryman and a friend?" He calls you 'Xiaoqiu' now, but not 'Brother Xiaoqiu'." Of course, people are official disciples of the Discipline Department, and you are fighting with a group of eliminated wastes in the application center, and it is no longer a status......"
"Why don't you shut up?" Xiaoqiu said calmly, "Save effort, the way you look now, you look like a weak person who has been bullied, how do you look like the princess's younger brother." ”
Xin Youtao snorted and didn't speak again.
Convoy 6 continued to arrive, naturally indispensable to the various scenes of relatives gathering, not long after, the immortal set has been crying, some of the vendors on both sides nodded sympathetically, and some people shook their heads helplessly, according to experience, there is no way to do business at this time.
A short and fat middle-aged man ran in small steps, and nodded at Xin Youtao from afar, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are here to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess, she will be there soon, not far from here." I haven't seen him for a few years, but His Royal Highness the Prince is a ...... of the Yue Immortal Wind Dao."
Xin Youtao hummed coldly, calmly accepted the other party's flattery, and only waved his hand until the end, and said, "Lord Xiao has worked hard all the way." ”
Lord Xiao obviously understood that this was a retreat, and retreated while retreating, not far behind him, Shen Hao was angry and ashamed, his face was red, and he was ashamed of his uncle's behavior.
A horn sounded in the distance, Xin Youtao straightened his clothes, and said sternly: "Let's start, Mu Xingqiu, from now on you will be my entourage." ”
Ten knights galloped up, dressed in full black armor and golden cloaks, each holding a banner in his right hand, of different colors, embroidered with shields of different styles.
The knight walked to the south entrance of the fairy market and stopped, divided into two columns, and stopped on both sides of the road, and the visitors who had arrived before avoided early, and some even knelt down and kowtowed before walking away.
"Don't expect me to kowtow. Xiaoqiu whispered that he could pretend to be an entourage, but it didn't include kowtow.
"Well, just follow me. Xin Youtao has completely changed into a person, his body is straight, his left hand is naturally drooping, his right hand is on his lower abdomen, his steps are flat and steady, if he is not dressed as a Taoist priest, he really has a bit of a prince's bearing.
Xin Youtao walked to the middle of the two columns of the Xuanfu army holding the flag, and looked at the other team on the southern road, and the people in the market were all pointing and pointing, which was a feeling of great attention that he hadn't enjoyed for a long time.
The team behind walked more slowly, a total of forty or fifty people, most of them were knights of the Xuanfu Army, still holding various flags, and a huge carriage was guarded in the middle.
Xiaoqiu stood two steps behind Xin Youtao's side, and couldn't tell the difference between these flags, where is this like a princess visiting relatives, it is clearly a general going on an expedition, it is best that this princess is not a character like an old lady.
The chariot and horse convoy is getting closer and closer, and the market is full of people, and many stall owners also join the procession of kneeling.
Shen Hao is a disciple of Pang Shan and does not need to kneel, he now regrets coming to see his relatives very much, his uncle knelt at the front of the crowd, looking at that look, as long as Xin Youtao called him, he would obediently crawl over.
The chariot and horse team finally arrived, stopped in the middle of the road, and a knight without a flag urged the horse to come over and salute Xin Youtao, "Please let Her Royal Highness the Prince get in the car and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Xin Youtao walked towards the carriage, and Xiao Qiu was just about to step to follow, when the knight stretched out his right arm to make a forbidden gesture.
Autumn stayed where she was.
The knight passed by Xiaoqiu and announced to the people kneeling on the ground the grace of Her Royal Highness the Princess: allow them to get up and meet their relatives freely, and not to be restrained by the presence of the Princess.
The crowd dispersed, rushing to the inn in Nantou to rent a room, except for the neatly lined up soldiers on the avenue, only Xiaoqiu was left, and his position was very embarrassing, like a prisoner surrounded by soldiers.
For more than half an hour, the occasional veiled maid came out of the carriage to convey orders to the soldiers, and before long, some of the soldiers took their tents from another carriage behind them and set them up on the side of the road. The knights on both sides of Xiaoqiu didn't move, as if they were spying on him.
Finally, a veiled little palace maid came over, "The princess summoned and asked Mu Gongzi to come with me to meet her." ”
Xiaoqiu snorted and followed her to the carriage.
The carriage was huge, larger than the house where a single person lived in Yangshen Peak, and the wheels were as tall as one person, and they were pulled by sixteen horses.
The little palace maid took Xiaoqiu to the back of the car, and a ladder went straight to the carriage, and the heavy curtain blocked the scenes and sounds inside.
Xiaoqiu stood under the car and waited for a while, and walked out of the curtain with another palace maid wearing a veil, "Her Royal Highness the princess said, thank Mu Gongzi for taking care of His Royal Highness the prince, and give him a horse of colorful satin, a set of Qianxue porcelain, five boxes of floating sea condensation, a set of four seasons of robes, a hundred taels of silver, and a gold ingot, and see them off." ”
Xiao Qiu was stunned, his entourage career ended so easily, not even half a day, I don't know if Xin Youtao will regret it because of this.
The little palace maid took the reward, there were a lot of things, stacked together and almost covered her eyes, Xiaoqiu hesitated and didn't step forward to help, bowed slightly to the carriage and saluted, "Thank you for the reward." ”
The palace maid above retreated into the carriage, and the visit was over.
The little palace maid who was holding a large number of items in both hands said, "I'll give Mu Gongzi a ride." ”
"No, thank you. ”
"This is an order from His Highness. The little palace maid's voice was soft, and there seemed to be a smile behind the veil.
The two walked into the fairy market one after the other, and Xiaoqiu couldn't stand the eyes of the people on both sides, "I'll take something, so it's easier for you to walk." ”
The little palace maid wore a veil and held a stack of things in her hand, and she did stumble along, and at this time she was some distance away from the carriage, and she said, "Then there is the son of Lao Mu." ”
This thing is extremely easy for Xiao Qiu, but the colorful satin is exposed, as the name suggests, it is full of brilliance in the winter sunset, attracting many eyes, Xiao Qiu had to speed up her pace, and did not go to say goodbye to Shen Hao.
Out of the immortal set, Xiaoqiu said to the little palace maid who was panting behind him: "It's okay to send it here, please go back." ”
The little palace maid shook her head, and she could see a smile even through the veil, "Don't worry, I want to thank Mu Gongzi in person for taking care of my brother." ”
Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, it turned out that this was the princess herself.
