From the inn where everyone stayed before to the royal city, even if they traveled day and night, it would take a full half a month. The horses driving the car are all good horses. Once the whip is pulled down, the horses will run like clouds and mists. Duan Yao insisted on riding in the car at first, but after being hit on the head three or four times, she was finally reluctant to leave the stove and came out to ride with the others. The wind blew on the mountain road, and I felt that even my ears would be frozen, and my nose and face were flushed, so Duan Baiyue was tormented again in my heart.
Next time, if Master borrows a corpse to revive his soul, he must let him take his brother away with him!
This year's spring cold seems to have been extraordinarily long. Seeing that Liu Feihua is already on both sides of the road, the air is still cold. The hot breakfast stall was crowded with people, and after eating a bowl of porridge with the aroma of fish fillets, my hands and feet finally warmed up. Duan Yao wiped her mouth and paid the money, and then went all the way back to Jinxiufang—the contact point secretly set up by the Southwest Wangfu in Wangcheng. Mingzhi is a fabric shop, the shopkeeper's name is Zou Man, and the daughter-in-law is Duan Baiyue's childhood nurse, who was sent to this royal city more than ten years ago.
"Uncle Zou." Duan Yao greeted with a bag of snacks, "What about the rest?"
"It's all in the study." Zou Man motioned to him to lower his voice, "The lord doesn't seem very happy, the little lord has to be careful."
Not happy again? Duan Yao was inexplicable. Previously, he was rushing to Wangcheng with all his heart, but now he finally arrived. Shouldn't he celebrate and have a meal at night.
"The little prince bought it for the prince?" Zou Man asked again, "This dessert is really good, but it's better to eat it while it's hot."
"Give it to Aunt Zou, I'm not going to get in trouble." Duan Yao resolutely stuffed him with the dim sum, so as not to hurt the innocent again.
"Oh, oh little prince, where are you going?" Zou Man called from behind.
"Go out for a walk!" Duan Yao stepped on the treetops with one foot and turned over from the courtyard wall.
Zou Man had a headache when he saw it. The prince said that he came in secret this time. How could the little prince run around? If he was seen, it would be fine, this is the foot of the emperor.
Although the Wangcheng is big, Duan Yao is not a person who likes to watch the lively. He walked around the street for a while and looked up just to see a lucky pawn shop.
Fortune Pawnshop... Where does Shada live? Duan Yao looked around and saw that no one noticed, so he slipped in through the back door.
A yard of hens.
Duan Yao: "..."
Seeing someone breaking in, the hen thought it was coming to feed, so she rushed over in a swarm, Duan Yao was crying in her heart, but she heard someone walking this way.
"Look, isn't this just the chicken hungry?" After the wooden door was opened, two men came in, one fat and one thin.
"Now it's better than before. There are guests at home, so be careful." The thin man said, "Pay more attention to the movement outside, so as not to cause trouble again."
"Yes, yes, what you said is right, then after reading it, it's a chicken coop, can you go back?" Another yawned.
Duan Yao hid behind the stone mill and watched the two leave, and just followed silently.
This pawnshop is not big, so Duan Yao didn't take long to get a clear picture of the surrounding layout. There are only two guest houses, and one of them is occupied by people. Listening to the accent and looking at the dress, it seems that it does come from the Western Regions.
The people in the house were eating, Duan Yao stared at it for a while, feeling a little puzzled. Although he didn't know the country of Anu, since he could unite with the country of Chu to erect a barrier in the desert, this Shada should have some ability and vigilance. But why didn't he hide his whereabouts at all, he just sat swaggeringly in the middle of the hall, and there wasn't even a guard around
After eating, Shada got up and walked around the yard twice, then went back to the bedroom to wash and rest. Before going to bed, he asked a special question about what to eat tomorrow morning. He seemed to only care about eating and sleeping.
Duan Yao: "..."
What kind of Shada king is this, why is he so stupid, it's not the same as the conspiracy and tricks he said.
The pawnshop in front was still booming. Duan Yao grew up in the southwest. He was good at disguising and was often dressed up as a girl, so he was not afraid that someone would see it. By the way, I looked around, and there was really nothing unusual.
"This lady." After leaving the pawnshop, someone followed.
Duan Yao stopped and glanced at him, and saw that it was a man in his twenties with a slick face.
"Are you in trouble, miss?" Is the man smiling? The fragrance of fat and powder on his body is very strong, and his nose is itchy when he gets closer.
Duan Yao gave him a white look, and walked forward, thinking that you must not pull me ignorantly, or you will chop off your hand.
"Be careful, girl, this person is the slave slave of Hongxianglou." When passing by, an aunt reminded in a low voice.
Duan Yao raised her eyebrows, it's from the brothel...
"Miss, take your time, ma'am." The man chased after him again.
Duan Yao turned back, biting her lower lip and tearful eyes: "My master died suddenly a few days ago, and I was rushing to raise money to bury him. Don't hold me anymore, eldest brother."
"Ouch..." The man was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "I don't know how Miss is going to raise money?"
Duan Yao replied, "I plan to sell my brother."
Man: "… "
ha
"Do you want it?" Duan Yao asked.
The man didn't give up, and asked again, "Is your brother as beautiful as the young lady?"
Duan Yao's heart was stuffed, and she planned to leave after a while, how could she really want it.
I want to sell it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to buy it.
"Let's go." The old aunt saw that the man was still entangled, and couldn't bear to see the good-looking girl's house being abducted to that kind of place, so she simply stepped forward and pulled Duan Yao away, and let go until she led it into the alley, telling him to let him go. Come home quickly. When I returned to the street again, I saw a large group of people talking about it. When I asked, I found out that the turtle slave didn't know why, but suddenly he had a red face, and went to the medical center crying like a pig.
The aunt was surprised, she reached out and touched it again, and at some point in the cloth pocket around her waist, there was a small golden bean.
Duan Yao clapped her hands, hummed a little tune, and returned to the brocade shop.
The palace was very quiet at this time.
Three days ago, Chu Yuan drove out of the palace and went to Jiangnan, leaving Taifu to lead the six divisions to temporarily handle important affairs in the DPRK.
The courtiers were discussing this in private, and they didn't know why the Sage suddenly made this decision. There was no previous warning.
When the emperor went on a tour, his style would not be small, even if Chu Yuan never liked extravagance, the team on the official road was very mighty. After walking for a few days and then passing through Jinhe Castle, you can take a boat southward from the canal, all the way to Chiba Castle.
Father Sixi was sitting in another carriage, and wanted to go out and find an opportunity to ask Shen Qianfan secretly, this is so good, why did he suddenly go to Jiangnan again. Although the construction of the embankment is also a major event, but the court is so unstoppable, the emperor is still uneasy guarding the royal city, can he still run outside
After trying to figure out the holy will for so many years, this is the only time that I am at a loss.
Chu Yuan was in a good mood. After staying in the palace for a long time, it would be nice if he could come out and see the light of the sky elsewhere.
In the brocade shop in Wangcheng, Duan Baiyue locked himself in the study, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After so many years of painstaking work, there are many eyeliners, killers, bodyguards, eunuchs, and palace maids sent from the southwest in the palace. Therefore, every time there is any trouble, the news will be sent back to the southwest in the fastest time, but this time the suffering is in the dark line. I don’t know that my master will come to Wangcheng so soon. where exactly miss.
"Can you go to Jiangnan with you?" Duan Nian probed.
"Guess why he left at this time?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Duan Nian shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, but the lord has been keeping secret this trip, so it shouldn't be..."
"Why, is it possible that you want to say that Emperor Chu is trying to avoid this king?" Duan Baiyue laughed, "If you can win the crown prince among many brothers, if you think he is so small, you will always be brooding about him. The entanglement between the kings, even going out of the city to hide?"
Duan Nian was at a loss for words.
"Let's go to Jiangnan in a few days." Duan Baiyue said, "Just to see what will happen in this royal city."
"Yes." Duan Nian nodded.
"How is Shada?" Duan Baiyue asked again.
"Our people have been watching, but the other party doesn't seem to have made any movement." Duan Nian said, "I haven't dealt with outsiders, just eat, sleep and sleep, and I don't seem to care about the assassination of my brother at all." And According to the rumors, Shada and Gu Li were so close that they could not wait to wear a pair of pants, which was obviously too abnormal.
Duan Baiyue frowned.
"This time things are a little weird, I'm afraid it will take some work." Duan Nian said, "Is your lord really going to intervene?"
"Since they've all come, naturally they can't come in vain." Duan Baiyue raised the corner of her mouth, "It's always enough to get something."
There was a sound in the courtyard, and Boss Zou said with a smile: "The little prince is back, the kitchen is still warm, do you want to eat it now?"
Duan Yao quickly waved at him.
Boss Zou reacted and covered his mouth.
But it was obviously too late.
"Yao'er!" Duan Baiyue called from the room.
"My subordinates will retire first." Duan Nian clasped his fists.
Duan Yao felt very distressed in her heart. She stretched out a finger and poked the door, knowing that she would go around, or it would be good to come back in the middle of the night.
"Where did you go?" Duan Baiyue sat in the middle of the room.
"Go out to play." Duan Yao answered honestly.
"What are you playing?" Duan Baiyue obviously didn't intend to be perfunctory.
Duan Yao pouted and said, "Go to see your sweetheart." The one in the pawnshop, the five-year-old, who had hair on his hands and face, ate a lot, and was very handsome!
As soon as the words fell, the tea cup in Duan Baiyue's hand fell to the ground.
Duan Yao was taken aback, why did she react so much.
"You dare to enter the palace behind my back?" Duan Baiyue slapped the table with a fierce palm.
Duan Yao was even more shocked to hear this: "Your sweetheart is in the palace?!"
…
