Chapter Seventy-Five: Up the River
The carnival of the Yuelai Inn was held very late, but the five people went to bed early, the next morning, they set off on horseback from the backyard of the Yuelai Inn, the night had just faded, the sky was still shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, when he left, Wang Shan put a silver ingot on the table, it is true that there are fewer and fewer people who can take risks for others in this chaotic world, although the silver does not represent anything, but Wang Shan has a little comfort and blessing in his heart, let the good people live safely.
The flat land on the side of the White River is full of crops, some have reached the time of heading, after walking through the faint fragrance of wheat, with the wind blowing into the mouth and nose, the smell is full of comfort, occasionally there are people doing farm work in the farmland, bending down to fiddle with the crops, from time to time to raise the body, soothe the body, so that the tired body can get a moment of rest.
From time to time, the sound of chickens and dogs crowing in the village, accompanied by the sound of children reading aloud, floated in the sky of the village. The smoke of the cooking stove swayed and blew towards the horizon and disappeared into the blue sky.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at all this in the village not far away very carefully, and seemed to have returned to his days a few months ago.
"Xiao Xiao, what did you do with you before? you can't do farm work, right?" asked Xiao Ruoshui on the princess.
"I used to teach in the village and do farm work. Just serve a little field at home, not very busy. Xiao Ruoshui replied, still looking at the village.
Zhou Ting looked at Xiao Ruoshui, and almost fell out of his eyes in surprise, a teaching gentleman was so powerful, he couldn't help but ask casually: "Are you all as powerful in martial arts as you?"
"No, no one in our village practices martial arts, just me. Xiao Ruoshui was a little amused by Zhou Ting's words.
"Then what did Brother Wang and Brother Zhao do before?" Zhou Ting was a little curious.
"I'm buying baked cakes, and your brother Zhao is in the cloth business. Wang Shan pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse to move forward quickly.
Zhou Ting was a little dumbfounded, this escort team was actually composed of the most ordinary people, but this most ordinary combination did the most impossible thing.
"Xiao Xiao can't see that you are still a teaching gentleman, are you sure you won't mistake people's children?" the princess said to Xiao Ruoshui jokingly.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm an authentic showman, how can a child not be taught, it's impossible. Xiao Ruoshui said proudly.
"You are still both civil and military, it's a pity that you don't serve the country, or I will find you a position when I see my father and queen, so that you can contribute to the country. The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui and said expectantly.
"Brother Wang, let's have a horse race to see who gets to the town in front first?" Xiao Ruoshui ignored the princess and said loudly towards Wang Shan.
"If you want to race horses, everyone will come together, and whoever is the last will be punished. After speaking, Wang Shan flew away with a clip of the horse's belly.
"Brother Wang, you are cheating, you are all cheating, a group of cheats." The princess watched the four of them rush to the town, and she temporarily forgot what she had just asked Xiao Ruoshui.
You chased me along the way, and when you reached the end, the princess tried her best to get the first place when she arrived in the town, and a smug smile overflowed her little face, and her red little face kept panting, and her hands were patted on her chest, and the four of them looked at her as if they were also infected, constantly teasing and teasing each other. It's also moving a lot faster.
In the capital, on the Eighth Prince's Mansion, King Xiao and Murong Yan were at a loss as they looked at the news sent. "After getting off the boat at Shangfeng Lingdu on the Huai River, the whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news for the time being. ”
"Princess Yan'er and her party are missing, what should we do?" asked King Xiao as he looked at the news.
"Don't you know the details of the people escorting the princess best, can't you just send them to monitor the family, they always have to go home." Murong Yan looked at King Xiao and said.
"It's not that I don't have this idea, but if they don't go home, won't we lose control over them during this time when the princess is done escorting them home?" said King Hyo worriedly.
"In fact, we have lost control of them since Suzhou, but we only know the whereabouts of the road, they are just completing a task, we are using this task to layout, now without them, we will be passive, but the overall situation is still under control." Murong Yan said softly.
"Then send a few masters to ambush them, and let us know if there is news of them. We also need them to go to Luoyang to drag King Yan, we can't just let them escape so easily. King Xiao looked at King Yan firmly.
Mengjin Ferry, in the cabin of King Yan, King Yan and Jian Yi, who had just arrived, sat in the cabin, King Yan said with a dark face: "The team escorting the princess has been lost, and the escort team can no longer be found, what should I do now?"
Jian Yi squinted, was silent for a long time, and suddenly opened his green eyes and said: "Follow every move of the Xiaowang Mansion, let our people in the capital follow all the horses of the Xiaowang Mansion, I don't believe that the fox's tail can't be revealed." ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to do it immediately, if it can be proved that the robber has something to do with him, he can't say it even with ten mouths, take the evidence, I'll kill back to the capital, and see what my father says." King Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"If the robbers show up, they will arrest the robbers' relatives and come to Luoyang, and we will wait for the rabbits in Luoyang and catch turtles in an urn. Ma Yi snorted and said.
Luoyang, Fuwangfu. King Fu stood next to a black peony, although it had been a little defeated, but King Fu was still appreciating it with great interest.
"King Yan will arrive in two days, and let us prepare a place with imprisonment, which is said to be useful. It is estimated that King Xiao's men and horses will arrive in Luoyang in five days, hoping that King Fu can give him a reception, and I have already ordered them to go down, and their requirements can be met. Dai Duo said to King Fu.
"It's another rainy day, two people are fighting, what are you doing here, don't think I'm not lively. King Fu said angrily.
"It seems that Luoyang's idle days are not long away, and no one can hide from it. ”
"King Fu, it's better to be like this, there is a summer manor in Bishan, we will arrange them there, far away from the city, and they will not disturb others, and we will also try to be pure. Dai Duo said with a smile.
"Then you tell the workers who carve stone carvings in Longmen to stop working for the time being, and say that there will be a military exercise recently, and it will be classified as a forbidden area, so as not to be seen and gossip. These wealthy businessmen have the money to burn what big Buddha they carve every day, compared to burning money. Fu Wang said with fire.
"Okay, I see, I'll do it. Didor took his leave.
King Fu looked at the peony, pulled it, the petals fell to the ground, there was only a bare flower head, standing alone, King Fu turned away, and said when he walked: "Don't look at how beautiful you usually are, isn't it for planting? Coaxing things who wouldn't. ”
