After spending a few days quietly on the boat, Tang Zhuozhuo seemed to lose weight even though he drank medicine every day. Whenever he stood on the bow of the boat blowing the wind, he seemed to be blown away by the wind, which made people worry.
Seeing that he would arrive at Xijiang in three days, Tang Zhuozhao started to vomit again, as if he had no energy at all. When Huo Qiu saw her vomit for the third time, he gave the order directly.
Disembark from the front pier and go overland. No matter how much Tang Zhuozhuo tried to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him, for fear of delaying his trip, he was extremely conscious when taking medicine every day.
Fortunately, after changing the carriage, her stomach finally felt better, and she no longer felt as if she had no bottom and was uncomfortable and flustered.
Huo Qiu's face looked better now.
On the last night, Xijiang was close at hand, Tang Zhuozhuo lifted the curtain of the car and stretched out half of his head to look at the galaxy in the sky. Starlight seemed to flow in his beautiful water eyes.
Huo Qiu sat on the soft cushion boldly, threw away the memorabilia on hand and rubbed the center of his brows, Tang Zhuozhuo turned around when he heard the movement, and asked, "Why are you bothered, Your Highness?"
There was a smile on her palm-sized face, and her innocent appearance suddenly calmed the restlessness in his heart.
"I just arrived in Liu County, and the governor of Xijiang has already got the news, saying that the other courtyard has been repaired, and I am waiting for Gu to drive."
He said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Tang Zhuozhuo was at a loss for a moment, but suddenly came to his senses when he touched his icy sword eyes. Although they traveled in a low-key way, pretending to be wealthy sons, but the news leaked out early, it is not surprising that the governor of Xijiang knew about it.
But Huo Qiu came to rectify the officials to investigate the situation. The people of Xijiang are struggling to live and complain. At this time, as the sheriff of Xijiang, not only did he not appease the people, but worked hard to build another courtyard. No wonder it made Huo Qiu angry. No brains.
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't say anything, he just tilted his head slightly and said, "Your Highness and Mr. Liu are both unparalleled in planning, and they will definitely be able to deal with this mess."
Huo Qiu's expression moved slightly, becoming more and more unpredictable.
The noble daughter of an aristocratic family who was raised in a boudoir since she was a child has never been out of the capital, but she can know that Xijiang is a mess just by listening to him.
Should it be said that she is too smart to understand at a glance, or is there a lot of things hidden in her that he doesn't know
Tang Zhuozhuo just said it unintentionally, seeing that he closed his eyes and kept quiet, he asked softly, "Your Highness, then are we going to live in the Sheriff's Mansion?"
Huo Qiu lifted his eyelids, and said with pursed lips: "Of course not, I ordered someone to buy two houses before I came here, and I will put you there then."
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned, raised his small face in front of him, and asked coquettishly, "Your Highness won't live with me?"
Huo Qiu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the petite person who was leaning over half of his body with a half-smile, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her into his arms.
"Jiaojiao wants to live with Gu?"
His voice was mellow and slightly hoarse, and he was extraordinarily alluring in the narrow compartment, with an imperceptible sense of coaxing. Tang Zhuozhuo blinked, almost drowning in those eyes that were like a deep pool.
"Naturally, we need a place. Your Highness just said that the Xijiang River is in chaos, and bandits and soldiers are infested. If you leave my concubine alone in the house, your Highness can rest assured?"
Huo Qiu remained silent, and then stretched out his hand to stroke her black and smooth hair. The pleasant fragrance on it made people feel refreshed. After a while, his chest trembled a few times, and he smiled heavily: "You are the only one who can mess around."
The words are said like this at any time, but the words are full of indulgence.
No matter how chaotic Xijiang is, can she go to the residence of the princess? At that time, it must be kept tight inside and out. The two knew it well, but they both pretended to be confused, one was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the other was willing to let it go.
Tang Zhuozhuo's ears felt hot when he heard it, but he didn't think so, and slowly withdrew from the man's embrace, caressing the glittering and translucent nails, the charm in his eyes flowed, and said: "Forget it, Your Highness is busy with many things, my concubine brought her maids to take care of herself these days." It’s also great to walk around.”
Huo Qiu's eyes became more smiling.
What a little gem.
Although he was prepared in his heart, when he actually arrived in Xijiang, Tang Zhuozhuo was still frightened by the sight in front of him.
They had only entered the Xijiang River for more than ten miles, and there were steep cliffs on both sides, strange mountains and rocks, and countless creeks intersecting and criss-crossing, clear to the bottom, but Tang Zhuozhuo was in no mood to marvel at such wonders.
Their carriage was blocked by the bandits ahead!
Where did Zhang Desheng and An Xia see bandits gather together? They all turned pale with fright, and tried their best to stay calm and stand in front of their carriage.
Those bandits knew their stuff, they didn't care about the carriage carrying Liu Hanjiang's family, they all blocked in front of Tang Zhuozhuo and the others, all of them had fierce eyes, they didn't act rashly for a while, they seemed a bit well-trained .
An Xia cleared his throat, looked at the bandit leader at the front and said: "Everyone, my master is going to the west to look for relatives. He plans to pass through the expensive land. He doesn't intend to disturb you. I hope you will give me a message."
After all, Quan An got Li Desheng's eyes, took a few gold ingots and sent them to the bandit headed by them.
A scar on the bandit leader's face snaked from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, like a ferocious centipede, and from a distance, it looked like half of his face had been cut off, with a threatening aura.
At this moment, he bit the gold ingots in his hand, laughed a few times and threw them to the brothers behind him, his voice was like thunder, and said: "I didn't expect that, he is still a big spender!"
"Brothers, we brothers are lucky!"
In the carriage, Tang Zhuozhuo's pretty face turned cold inch by inch, but she had never seen such a battle before, and the hand holding the hem of the skirt trembled slightly, but the man beside him still looked calm and calm, even his eyelids Didn't lift it.
"Your Highness." She tilted her head and pulled the book in his hand, her voice was soft and low, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned: "Is there going to be a fight later?"
Countless hidden guards around him took turns guarding him during the day and night, and Tang Zhuozhuo had nothing to worry about, but now it was different. In order to avoid the surveillance of the behind-the-scenes of Xijiang, they deliberately chose such a ravine to cross the road. If there was a conflict, Huo Zhuo Qiu will be exposed.
Huo Qiu's eyebrows were deep, and he nodded slightly. Hearing the wild laughter outside, he looked impatient. He moved his index finger and wanted to give an order, but Tang Zhuozhao seized it.
"Your Highness, let this concubine come forward and talk about it. These bandits love money, so let's give them some. After passing here, no one will care how they died quietly."
Huo Qiu raised his eyes and said without thinking, "No."
"If it doesn't work after trying, then it's not too late for His Highness to do it, okay?" With a delicate voice, she gently tugged on his dark black sleeve robe.
Huo Qiu's eyes fixed on her face for a moment, before he said after a while: "The time for a stick of incense."
Tang Zhuozhuo straightened his sleeves when he heard the words, and smiled.
The bandit leader outside just finished laughing when he saw the curtain of the car being lifted gently by a slender hand, and An Xia was also startled, and hurried to help her out.
When Tang Zhuozhao got out of the carriage, the bandits suddenly felt their breath was stagnant. The beauty was wearing a delicate skirt, with black hair and snowy skin and a slender waist, not to mention the charming look in her eyes when she smiled, it was almost enough to shake people's souls Check them all out.
Tang Zhuozhuo just glanced at those bandits, then lowered his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Everyone, can you borrow a way?"
The bandit leader was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, his expression became serious. He looked at Tang Zhuozhuo carefully, and said nothing with a sullen face.
Behind him, a bald-headed strong man was looking like a thief, and encouraged the bandit leader, saying: "Brother, what are we waiting for? Wouldn't it be great to rob this beauty up the mountain and get both money and man?!"
As soon as his words came out, it aroused the resonance of several bandits.
Or the bandit leader yelled angrily, and said, "Are you blind? You look like an official lady waiting for someone else?"
When the bandits saw it, they suddenly became sober.
How could such a delicate beauty be raised in the poor mountains and rivers of Xijiang? Not to mention anything else, just look at the clothes, they have never seen that material before, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.
Thinking about it this way, they are in trouble. If they really robbed people up the mountain, after a few days, the family members who got the news came to find them, maybe it was a big Buddha. I lost my life!
But if he retreated like this, wouldn't it be a joke
Tang Zhuozhuo seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, and pulled back his long hair on the sideburns, and said, "If I can make an excuse, I can hand over the jewels I'm carrying to you all."
Bai Debao is extremely attractive to bandits.
The bandit leader was really tempted, but he still hesitated, pointed at the carriage behind with a long knife in his hand, and said, "Is there anyone in there?"
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart froze, and he frowned slowly.
There stayed Liu Hanjiang's family.
But in a moment of thought, Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips, walked up to the carriage, and stretched out his white and tender palm.
"Sister, come out and show your face."
In fact, I am not sure in my heart, Liu Hanjiang's wife passed away early in her previous life, she has never met her, and she doesn't know her personality, whether she is smart or not.
Tang Zhuozhao secretly sighed in his heart, feeling a little troublesome. The intrigue in court is really annoying.
It didn't take long for her to think, a slender white hand stretched out from the carriage, the woman was as gentle as water, and even her voice was delicate.
Before the bandits came back to their senses, they saw a carrier pigeon on Ye's shoulder hovering and flying into the sky, and it disappeared into a black spot in an instant.
Such a change made the bandit leader's eyes sharpen, and he shouted angrily, "What did you do?"
But Mrs. Ye ignored them, with a cold and gentle look, pulled Tang Zhuozhao and said: "I sent a letter to my father just now, seeing that we are here, it's time for my aunt to send someone to pick us up."
Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was not loud enough to be heard by the bandits, and she looked at each other and lost her mind.
Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes, stared at Ye Shi's slightly trembling hands, patted them comfortingly, then turned around and said to the bandit leader: "My sister is not in good health, she won't be able to stand for long, if you have seen enough, let us go past."
After finishing speaking, she winked at Quan An, "Give them the silver we brought."
Quan An was also very clever, he immediately took out a bag of objects from the cage he was carrying, and handed it to the bandit leader.
When the bandit leader saw it, his whole face trembled, and he opened the package without saying a word, and was immediately dazzled by the bright golden light.
He took a deep breath, and thought about the two beauties in front of him, but he had to restrain his scruples.
He made a gesture and shouted: "Let them pass."
Tang Zhuozhao and Ye's bodies relaxed at the same time.
Tang Zhuozhuo held Ye Shi's hand, and said gently: "Sister, go back to the carriage, and you will catch the wind and cold again later, and your parents will feel distressed again."
Ye Shi pushed the boat along and nodded, and An Xia waited on her and got into the carriage.
Only then did Tang Zhuozhuo lower his eyes, winked at Zhang Desheng, opened half of the car curtain and got in.
As soon as she entered, Huo Qiu pulled her into her arms vigorously. The hot breath of the man sprinkled on her delicate neck. She flinched slightly, and heard his slightly annoyed voice.
"Why bother with them?"
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't figure out his moody temperament, so he lay down in his arms, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have done everything I can, if they don't know each other again, His Highness will beat them to hell."
Huo Qiu stretched out his hand to caress the delicate flower in the corner of her eyes, his eyes became more and more eager.
"Jiaojiao, do you want to make up for Gu?" Actually, he wasn't too sure, but she had changed too much. If it wasn't for this little temper that didn't change, he almost thought it was two people.
He mentioned Liu Hanjiang to him many times, so he became more vigilant and sent more hidden guards to protect him, detoxified himself from the poison, and now he blocked the bandits so that he would not be exposed.
Even her little hands were still cold when she came up.
She is obviously afraid!
But why does she feel indebted to him? And why do you want to compensate him
Tang Zhuozhao's body stiffened for a moment, and then recovered quickly. He giggled with his eyes downcast, coquettish and coquettish, worried about the bandits outside, and deliberately lowered his voice: "My concubine helped His Highness settle the bandits, shouldn't it be Will His Highness compensate the concubine?"
The breath she exhaled spread to a large area of his chest through the clothes, and she whispered like a cat in his ear, Huo Qiu smiled slowly, "Anything Jiaojiao wants, Gu will give."
