Stuffing the extremely feminine translucent veil into the bag hanging on the saddle, Garlan raised his hand and put on the hood of the cloak behind him. The shadow of the wide hood covered most of his face, almost covering his Appearances are hidden.
He looked at the light pink embroidery on the white women's dress, and sighed helplessly.
In fact, Gallan didn't plan to do this at all at first.
When he sneaked out of the palace, it was very smooth. After all, no one could have imagined that he would suddenly leave. Even if he occasionally bumped into the patrolling guards, no one dared to interrogate him as a prince.
However, at the last moment he left the palace, the atmosphere of the entire palace suddenly became tense, and the number of guards on patrol suddenly increased.
I don't know who was so bored and ran to find him in the middle of the night... Well, well, he can probably guess who it is.
That guy Heimos didn't recover well, and he sneaked into his bedroom again in the middle of the night.
Thinking like this, Garlan accelerated, but fortunately, he successfully left before the entire palace moved.
At that time, he was standing in an alley outside the palace, and he saw the palace, which had been melted into the night, light up one by one, but within a quarter of an hour, the whole palace became brightly lit, and he could even hear it. Among them, there were cluttered footsteps and faint shouts.
The gates of the royal city have always opened very early, and the sun will open as soon as the horizon is exposed. Garlan originally thought that the time from the gate opening to Tapti to wake him up was enough for him to pass through the gate.
Who knew that his departure was discovered in the middle of the night. Therefore, Wangcheng has been closely guarded since the early hours of the morning, and the gates of the city have also been blocked. He can only enter but not exit. He has no chance to leave the city at all, and can only hide in those merchants , Ranger and other areas where people and snakes are mixed, hide.
Later, I was really forced to have no choice but to dye the conspicuous blond hair black and change into a woman's clothes.
Fortunately, his skeleton is not too big, and his body is still slender, so there is not much sense of disobedience for a man to disguise himself as a woman. Fortunately, in order to facilitate riding, fighting, etc., women's strong suits are also mainly convenient and neat, and the difference from men's is not particularly big, so that even if he dresses as a woman, he does not have to wear ankle-length skirts. Barely bear it.
At this moment, not long after riding the horse on the mountain path, a fork in the road appeared in front of Garlan.
He took out the parchment map and looked at it. After identifying the direction, he put it away close to him. Unlike his time, maps in this world are extremely rare and rare. The maps circulating outside are very simple and rough, and the palace map brought out by Garlan is naturally the most accurate and most accurate.
Go left and you will get to the main road and you will reach the city.
Going to the right, it is still a mountain trail, a remote suburb.
Garlan naturally turned his horse's head and ran to the side of the mountain trail without hesitation.
According to the efficiency of Brother Camos, the guards might have reached the cities near the royal city before him. Of course, he could only choose those remote roads.
The forest road in the mountains is actually a road that has been stepped on. It is fairly flat, and there are lush woods on both sides. Garlan trotted along the trail on horseback, and the bright sun shone down on him, and the dark horse trotting seemed leisurely.
He looked up at the sky, and when he looked around, there were only white clouds in the endless blue sky, and occasionally a few birds flew through the sky with flapping wings.
This open feeling made the boy's lips unconsciously raise the corners of his lips. Although he felt a little guilty towards the brother and the others, at the moment he felt an unprecedentedly comfortable feeling.
The unspeakable sense of restraint that had been in his heart since he was reborn again seemed to be dissipated at this moment.
From now on, he doesn't need to think about anything any more.
From this moment on, he just needs to do whatever he wants to do.
Garlan reached out and touched the bag next to him, and smiled contentedly. Don't look at the bag, the contents inside are quite valuable, enough for him to live a prosperous life.
He also has a small bag of extremely valuable gems hidden close to him, just in case.
Well, they were all taken from the special accessories of the royal family. After all, it is too conspicuous to sell royal accessories directly.
The dark horse ran for a while, and in the afternoon, the small intestine gradually opened up.
Garlan vaguely heard a long music coming from ahead, and it didn't take long for him to see the source of the music.
In front of the mountain road, he saw a long queue. In front of the queue was a carriage pulled by two bulls. The carriage was decorated with flowers, and the fiery red cloth was wrapped around the carriage and danced in the air. on.
The music he heard was the sound of the bagpipes being played by the men behind the carriage.
Although it was daytime, many people in the team were holding torches, reflecting the sun, and the red flames were burning in their hands, reflecting the flaming red cloth strips flying behind the carriage.
Bagpipes, torches.
It was a wedding in progress.
Garlan slackened the reins and slowed down the horses under him to avoid colliding with the wedding procession in front of him. After all, this mountain road is not wide, and he can't go around it, so he can only follow the wedding procession from a distance.
Fortunately, the wedding procession did not go far before reaching its destination.
It was a small village beside a mountain road. There was a group of people waiting at the gate of the village. The whole gate of the village was wrapped with colorful cloth strips. Children were running around the gate with flowers in their hands and smiling.
The sound of the bagpipes grew louder, and the singing of the people who greeted the carriage echoed in the air.
Although the mixed singing is rough, under the blue sky and white clouds, it is mixed with joy and joy, giving people a different kind of flying feeling.
Garland couldn't help but wait and watch. After all, it was the first time he saw Aaron Landis's folk wedding, which made him a little curious.
He just stood there on horseback and watched for a while, when people at the wedding found him and pointed at him twice. Garlan just wondered if he was disturbing them or not, when he was about to leave, he saw someone Several people surrounded an old man and walked towards him, as if they wanted to talk to him.
Garland rolled over and dismounted.
The old man with gray hair and beard spoke with a smile.
"Travelers passing by, you must be here under the guidance of the goddess of love, Aphrodite. If you feel tired, why don't you come to my grandson's wedding banquet, have a full meal, and enjoy today's joy together."
In the folklore of Aaron Landis, the travelers who arrived in the wedding carriage must have been guided by the goddess Aphdomil. If they treat each other well and receive the blessing of this stranger who has been guided by the goddess at the wedding, the newlyweds can love each other forever.
Garland was a little hesitant, but it was the first time he saw this kind of folk wedding, he was really itchy, thinking that he was hungry and could leave after a meal, so he bowed slightly to the old man and accepted the other party. invitation.
Seeing the 'girl' being so polite, the old man who had no idea what kind of gift he received just now nodded cheerfully, and then took the 'girl' into the village together.
As a special guest, Garland was placed on one side to view the wedding up close.
The bride is a young woman in a long snow-white dress, holding golden ears of wheat in her arms, symbolizing a good harvest and many children.
The forearm-sized wooden statue of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, is placed on the ground with flowers enshrined in front of it.
The bride took off the belt around her waist and presented the belt to the goddess shyly.
That meant she was about to give up her chastity and go from being a girl to a woman.
While watching with interest, Garlan took a sip of beer, only to spit it out of his mouth.
There were various liquors in the palace, but cheap, easy-to-make beer was popular among the folks of Aaron Landis.
It was the first time that Garland drank this kind of folk beer. It was thick, sour and bitter like a milkshake.
He spit out a mouthful, and a woman sitting next to Garlan laughed, handed him a straw while laughing, and pointed to the surroundings. Only then did Garlan realize that the people around him were not drinking beer. Drink it directly, but suck it with a straw.
Garland tried it, and it turns out that using straw to suck the beer can avoid sucking the large bran particles at the bottom of the cup, which makes the taste of the beer much better.
He froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
The beer is very bad. Compared with the wine he drank in the palace, it can be described as heaven and earth. The surroundings are very noisy. The bagpipes are mixed with singing, and it is messy. It is completely two extremes from the maid in the palace who gently serves him.
But I don't know why, he just has a very happy feeling now.
It was obvious that beer was hard to drink, but he seemed to be infected by the lively atmosphere around him. Under the enthusiastic persuasion of people, he drank one cup after another.
Garland doesn't drink very well.
Considering that he was still on his way to escape, he felt a little dizzy and immediately stopped, looked at the sky, it was almost evening, and he was already full of food and drink.
Thanks to the old man who entertained him, he got up and left the small village after blessing the newlyweds.
Garlan had always been wearing a wide hood, covering most of his face, and never took it off. And those people didn't seem to care much about this, and they still treated him warmly.
Leaving the small village, he slowed down on horseback as he moved forward, and a slightly drunken feeling filled his body, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort.
After walking for a while, he was vaguely sleepy, so he turned his head and looked around. He found a place under a tree with lush grass, not far from the roadside, where there were several huge rocks blocking the view and sheltering from the wind. Hidden again.
Garlan tied the horse to the inner jungle and let it graze, and then he squatted in the rock nest for a while, sobering up.
He was lying on the grass with all fours outstretched. The sun had already set in the west, and the cool wind brushed over his hot cheeks, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
He stared blankly at the sky.
In fact, staying in that small village for one night is the best choice, but he is worried about bringing trouble to those enthusiastic people. After all, Brother Wang would definitely not advertise his escape, and would only use secret orders to let the soldiers capture him back.
If he stayed there and the soldiers who came after him didn't know about it, if the means of arresting him were tougher, it would definitely disturb the wedding.
Ah, that means I have to sleep in the wild for a while now.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of insect repellent powder configured by Tapti.
Garlan, who was on his back, thought about it for a while, until the sun was about halfway down the horizon, he felt a lot more awake, then sat up and planned to continue on the road.
But as soon as they got up, a messy and rushing sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the road, and Garlan immediately shrank into the rock, hid, and secretly looked at the road from the crevice of the rock.
With a burst of laughter, about a dozen men galloped past the road on horseback.
There are big bags and small bags hanging on their saddles, a pile full of them.
There was a young woman in front of the men who were not burdened, but those women were not sitting on horseback, but were lying face down on the horseback, and there was a faint sound of weeping from the messy hooves. Come.
The dozens of men passed by like a gust of wind and ran along the road, leaving only their laughter and laughter.
Garlan, who was hiding on the side of the road, suddenly changed his face. The women had been lying on their stomachs and could not see their faces, but he recognized the dress of one of the women—the dress of the bride he had seen at the wedding not long ago. .
Before he could think about it, he quickly pulled out his dark horse, turned on it, and hurriedly chased in the direction where the group of people left.
…
After galloping for a while, seeing that the sun was about to set on the horizon, the leading man found a remote flat place, and then beckoned his companions to stop.
The man is in a good mood at the moment, and even the harsh cries of those women can't disturb his good mood, or on the contrary, the cries of women are extremely beautiful voices in his ears.
He and his companions carried the woman off the horse and threw it to the ground. Anyway, those weak women were tied tightly with ropes by them, and they couldn't escape at all.
Raised his hand and patted the bulging burden on the horse's back, the man showed a smug smile.
They were a group of robbers who had gathered together and dared not go to towns guarded by soldiers, and could only snatch a few things in these small remote villages.
This time, I was lucky. I bumped into that small village and held a wedding, and I grabbed a lot more property than those villages before, enough for them to be happy for a while.
And they also grabbed a few women. Although they are not beautiful, they are still pretty, so they can sell them after they vent, which is another sum of money.
Especially one of them is still today's bride, which gives him a strange pleasure. He thought that he would pick this woman tonight, and no one would want to rob him.
This group of robbers is noisily tidying up the fire, preparing to eat a big meal, so that they can refresh their spirits. Tonight, they will take a good vent on the women they robbed.
The few young women who were snatched huddled together tremblingly, with tears all over their faces. Especially the pale-faced bride among them. Today was the best day of her life, but the arrival of these robbers made her fall into hell. When she thought of her beloved who was cut and wounded by the robbers, she didn't know whether to live or die. And the insults she might suffer next, her tears couldn't stop rustling down.
The fiery red sunset fell on her face, showing more and more her empty eyes and the despair on her face.
Just then, there was a rush of hooves.
The robbers who were chatting and laughing with each other without hesitation showed vigilance, stood up, and looked in the direction of the sound.
The young women's godless eyes also recovered a little, and looked at them hopefully.
But the next second, the hope in their eyes disappeared.
It is true that someone came to rescue them, but only one person came.
It was a young girl who was not physically fit.
And they also recognized it as a passing traveler they had entertained at the wedding.
Those robbers who showed vigilance suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed playful eyes again, just standing so carelessly and casually, watching the young girl run across them on horseback.
Really overpowering.
Looking at the long sword hanging obliquely on the side of the saddle, the leading man thought disdainfully, and he didn't know where the young female warrior who thought he was powerful came to save people with a passion, and he didn't even think about what he had. There is no such thing.
Yep.
I feel that there are more than ten people on my side, and women are not enough, and one more is not bad.
The man glanced at the girl with regret.
This girl's figure is not very good, her chest is almost flat.
As he thought about it, he glanced at the women over there, his lustful eyes swept across their towering chests.
Well, let's choose from this group of women tonight, whoever likes that kind of flat-chested girl can...
Before the thoughts in the robber's mind could be finished, a gust of wind suddenly blew over and blew the girl's wide hood down at once.
The long black hair flew up and brushed over the white cheeks.
The fiery red sunset slanted on the girl's face.
A series of puffs sounded among the robbers.
After the lead robber lost his mind for a moment, there was only one thought left in his mind.
No boobs, no boobs! This woman's father is set!
The blood all over his body boiled, and he grabbed the big knife resting on the rock next to him.
Swish!
Suddenly a sharp arrow shot out of the jungle and hit his feet.
The robber was so frightened by the arrow that his heart shrank, and he almost fell backwards.
He raised his head angrily and shouted.
"Who!"
He roared, "What son of a bitch, get out!"
"Although they are a group of vulgar guys, it is really disrespectful to beauty to use such vulgar and dirty language in front of this beautiful girl like the sunset."
A clear male voice with a smile rang from above.
The voice was extremely magnetic and moving, as if singing a poem.
"Afdomir, the goddess of love and beauty~~ Your loyal followers will remove all ugly existences in this world for you."
The tall tree canopy made a rustling sound, and a figure jumped down from the dense foliage and landed in front of everyone.
It was a slender young man, his long black hair was tied behind him with a goose-yellow hair rope, and his long forehead hair slid diagonally from his eyes.
His face is extremely handsome, and he is dressed in a refreshing cyan outfit, which makes people feel good at first glance.
The bow that shot the sharp arrow just now was held in his left hand. He didn't even look at the group of robbers behind him who were glaring at him, and his eyes fell on Garlan without blinking.
Those peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, revealing a somewhat romantic and sentimental charm.
He put one hand on his chest and continued his words like a song.
"Ah, to praise the great goddess Aphrodite."
He said with a look of intoxication on his face.
"Thank you for your blessing, bringing this beautiful girl to me, so that I can clean the eyes that were polluted by those ugly and vulgar things just now."
Garland: "???"
Can you speak normally
