At 10 noon on the second day, Ye Xi led Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan with the guards of Rong An Palace to catch up with Su Fengnuan's team.
Su Fengnuan still slept soundly in the carriage.
Ye Xi came to the front of the car on horseback, reached out and knocked on the shaft of the car, and shouted, "Little girl."
Su Fengnuan gave a sleepy "hmm", without opening his eyes, he said, "Catch up?"
Ye Xi heard her voice as if she hadn't woken up, glanced at the sky, and said, "I heard people said that you had been sleeping in the carriage when you left Shonan City last night, and it's already noon now, and you haven't slept enough, little girl, you Is it a pig? It can sleep like this."
Su Fengnuan snorted and asked, "Didn't King Xiangjun send anyone to catch up?"
Ye Xi said, "Are you drowsy? If the King of Xiangjun sent someone to chase after him, would you still be able to sleep so comfortably?"
"That's right." Su Fengnuan said sleepily, "The emperor sent an imperial envoy to visit him in the east, which must have made him cautious and dare not leave the east again easily. If my prediction is correct, he should send someone to fly the eagle Send a letter to the First Prince, and let the First Prince send someone to intercept us."
Ye Xi said, "Cheng Gu is the eldest prince's man. Now that we have robbed him, the eldest prince will naturally not do it. Feiying Chuanshu has arrived in the capital at midnight and half day. The eldest prince must take action when he gets the news. Don't worry." Go to sleep, get up and make plans quickly, we now have a large number of people walking the official path in such a grandiose way, isn't this telling everyone that you are a target?"
Su Fengnuan opened her eyes, and saw that the Zijing county magistrate was still sitting quietly in the corner, listening to her talking to Ye Xie. She stretched her waist, sat up, lifted the curtain, and leaned on the shaft to look at the horse riding on the horse. Ye Xi, who was dressed in travel and dust, seemed to have been chasing after midnight to catch up with her. Obviously, the team of Bixuan Pavilion was not slow.
She woke up and took a nap, and said to Ye Xie, "After the eldest prince returned to Beijing, how many pairs of eyes stared at him, especially now that he is in charge of the country, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are watching him even more. He dare not act rashly. Even After receiving the letter from the King of Xiangjun, Feiying, he intends to intercept it, and he must act carefully, not daring to make big moves, for fear of arousing suspicion. So, ignore him, and we will follow the official path and go all the way to the west."
Ye Xi looked at her, "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Su Fengnuan nodded, "When the eldest prince was the prince, he rarely showed his face in front of people. After he became the deposed prince, everyone almost forgot about him. Now he is the eldest prince again, and he is still in prison." Countless people suddenly paid attention to him in matters of the country. He was used to hiding and acting in secret, and he must be very unaccustomed to being exposed in front of others suddenly. Shrimp, why are you afraid? Just leave.”
Ye Xi nodded, "That makes sense, since this is the case, I don't have to worry about it anymore." After finishing speaking, he said, "Little girl, you've had enough sleep, it's my turn now?"
Su Feng warmly said, "Okay, you get in the car, I'll ride the horse."
Ye Xi was not polite when he heard the words, he flew off the horse and jumped into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, he saw the princess of Zijing County in the corner, a weak and weak daughter's house, very quiet, so quiet that he almost didn't notice that there was her in Su Fengnuan's car, he was stunned for a moment.
The Zijing county magistrate didn't expect Ye Xi to get in the carriage as soon as he said it, and she was also startled when she saw that he got into the carriage neatly.
Su Fengnuan seemed to have forgotten the difference between men and women. The first time Ye Xi got into the car, he jumped out and flew onto the horse.
Ye Xi was only stunned for a moment, then lay down indifferently, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The Zijing county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and saw Ye Xi lying where Su Fengnuan had been lying earlier, pulling off the thin quilt she had covered her to cover her body, and fell asleep in a short while, without any scruples about etiquette, Not to mention that there is another woman in the car who is different from men and women, as if she is not regarded as a woman.
She had never seen such brothers and sisters before.
Although she also knew that it was said that people who were used to living in the Jianghu all paid attention to the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, but their identities were not just sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. One is the young lady of General Su's mansion, and the other is the son of Jiangnan Ye's family. They are all wealthy families with rules. Such randomness is rare.
She thought of the rumors about Su Fengnuan and the rumors about Ye Xi, thinking that some of the rumors were indeed groundless.
She hesitated for a moment, opened the curtain and said to Su Fengnuan who was riding on the horse, "Sister Su, can I share the city with you?"
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan didn't expect the little magistrate to speak to her. She thought she had gone through many twists and turns and became a quiet mute. Especially calling her Sister Su, she didn't feel hostage at all.
The Lord Zijing County glanced at Ye Xi who was already asleep, and said to Su Fengnuan, "I have been sitting for a long time, and my legs and feet are numb. I don't want to be bored in the car anymore. I want to move around and get some air."
Seeing her looking at Ye Xi, Su Fengnuan remembered that she was the county lord after all, and that the rules of men and women were different from childhood. Even as a hostage, she couldn't ride with a man in the same car, so she nodded , said to her, "Yes, but can you ride a horse?"
Zijing County Master said, "Yes, I have also learned riding and archery for a few days since I was a child."
Su Fengnuan nodded, approached the front of the car, and handed her his hand.
The Zijing County Lord put his hand in Su Fengnuan's.
Su Fengnuan stretched out his hand to grab her, but seeing her strength, he easily pulled her onto the horse, sat on the back of her horse, and told her, "Hold me tight, don't fall off."
The head of Bauhinia County nodded.
The elders of Bixuan Pavilion saw that Su Fengnuan was riding with Zijing county magistrate together, and they all thought that the daughter of the king of Xiangjun was a little different from other women. Not crying or making noise, very quiet, not annoying.
Contrasted with the Bauhinia County Lord, Shen Zhilan, who was tied up in the car, woke up and found herself tied up. She was horrified and asked the outside world who tied her up. When no one paid attention to her, she yelled, but the people from Bixuan Pavilion gagged her mouth with something, and then she calmed down.
They are also hostages, but Su Fengnuan is much gentler towards the Zijing county magistrate, but quite rude towards Shen Zhilan, and tied her up when they met.
The people of Bixuan Pavilion know the elegant meaning when they hear the strings. As early as the news from the Red Pink Tower to Bixuan Pavilion, they heard that Shen Zhilan liked Ye Shizi. His master knocked her once, but he didn't expect to find that she was the secret channel of the capital. The culprit of the case, with deep martial arts skills, was originally staying in the Red Fen Building and ran out secretly. Now that he is in the hands of the master, then naturally he will not be polite to her.
Cheng Gu voluntarily followed Ye Xi and did not resist at all. Naturally, he was treated courteously and sat alone in a carriage.
He Zhi followed the carriage on horseback.
The team marched very smoothly, no one stopped them along the way, even Su Fengnuan expected that the eldest prince would send a few people to stop them, and they walked very smoothly for several days.
Shen Zhilan had some hopes at first, but when she heard someone outside the car talking about Su Fengnuan, it felt like cold water was being poured on her head, and she felt completely cold all over. She never dreamed that Su Fengnuan would go to southern Hunan and rob Cheng Gu, her, the Zijing county lord and the bodyguard.
In the past few days, Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi took turns sleeping in different carriages. Su Fengnuan got in the car, and the Zijing County Lord also got into the car and slept together. Su Fengnuan rode a horse, and she also rode a horse together. It was still very quiet.
Such a quiet person, after a few days in a row, Ye Xi looked at her twice more, becoming curious, and asked her, "Little sister, are you not afraid? I have never seen a hostage like you."
The Zijing County Lord rode behind Su Fengnuan's horse, turned to look at Ye Xi, and said to him, "Three years ago, I cried and quarreled and was afraid, but I found it was useless. Now my father doesn't save me, he wants to kill me instead. I, I am not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Xi nodded, and said to her, "You were born in the Xiangjun Prince's mansion, you are pitiful enough, you have paid for the Xiangjun King's ambition."
Su Fengnuan rolled her eyes, "Brother, which woman in the world is not pitiful?"
Ye Xi stared, "Are you pitiful? Why didn't I see it."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a moment.
The Lord of Zijing County said to Ye Xi, "I'm not pitiful. I was born in the palace of Xiangjun. I wear gold and silver, brocade and silk, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Compared with my childhood, I didn't wear warm clothes, didn't have enough to eat, and suffered every day. Women who work are much better. After enjoying what he gave, it is natural to bear his burden."
Ye Xi said, "It's true."
The Lord Zijing County did not speak anymore.
Ye Xi looked at her, blinked his eyes, and said again, "Tigers are poisonous and don't eat their children. The king of Xiangjun is so cruel that he even wants to kill his own daughter. Could it be that the legend that the king of Xiangjun favors you is a lie?"
The Lord Zijing County shook his head, "In the past, he really doted on me, but that was before, since I was captured in Peicheng, I am no longer his daughter." After finishing his sentence, he added, "So, Sister Su, Ye Young master, you have caught me, it is of no use at all, you can't threaten him."
Ye Xi looked at Su Fengnuan upon hearing this.
Su Fengnuan glanced back at her, and said, "It's easy to catch you. I mainly caught Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan. As for you, although the king of Xiangjun didn't even care about your life, few people know about it. The king of Xiangjun can care about your life or death behind his back, but he has always had a good reputation. He is called the wise king of the East. He loves the people like his son, and his daughter is also his subject. In front of the people of the world, he will not ignore Save your life, otherwise you will be criticized, and the virtuous reputation he has worked so hard to maintain all these years will be ruined. Therefore, your name as the Lord of Zijing County is still useful to restrain him at critical moments."
The Zijing county magistrate fell silent after hearing the words.
Ye Xi smiled "ha", "Junior Sister, who are you plotting against, who is really out of luck in eight lifetimes, the King of Xiangjun met you, he can only say that he was ambitious in vain, born at the wrong time." After saying that, He lowered the curtain, lay back in the car, yawned and closed his eyes, and said, "Sleep a little more, I'm sure I'll be in the west when I wake up, my cousin is probably crazy about you? You've been going crazy these days." Because of drowsiness and inability to eat, I remind you to take your own pulse."
