After Xia Chu finished eating, he went to Xiao Mubai's main tent.
It was neatly arranged inside, and he couldn't tell whether Xiao Mubai had ever come back. He reached out and touched the utensils he often used one by one. When he landed on the wolf-hair pen, Xia Chu originally planned to leave a letter to say goodbye. , after all, it is estimated that we will not see each other for a long time.
His hand holding the pen hung for a long time, having nowhere to write and feeling that he was being hypocritical. If Xiao Mubai couldn't see him and the raven in the tent, he would naturally know that he had returned to Beijing, so why bother to be sentimental and sentimental.
Xia Chu shook his head, then put down his wolf brush and walked towards the inner tent.
After walking to the bed, he squatted down, took out a jar of plum blossom wine and took it out.
After leaving the tent, he threw his peach blossom stuff to the raven and took the raven to the stable. He thought that Chiyi and Zanghong would be locked up together, but he saw that Chiyi was locked up alone in the single-room shed. , he guessed that Xiao Mubai had gone to the military parade.
Xia Chu touched Chiyi's mane and whispered to it: "I'm sorry, I'm going to be separated from Zanghong for a while, so don't lose your temper."
Blazing Wings seemed to understand, snoring and hissing.
Xia Chu was so frightened that he wanted to cover his horse's mouth to avoid attracting Zanghong, and he probably wouldn't be able to escape tonight.
Xia Chu led Blazing Wings out of the stable, and Raven had already picked out the horse, with the backpack and everything hung on the horse's back.
Xia Chu glanced at the empty King Mo's military camp, then got on his horse and walked towards the outside of the camp.
It was not long after Xu hour, and he originally thought he could still catch up with the journey in two hours, so he could go to the suburbs to sleep in the open air.
Shortly after leaving the city gate after riding fast, Blazing Wings under him suddenly became excited, snorted, and galloped forward with joy without even raising his whip.
Xia Chu saw the raven gradually falling behind, and couldn't help but tighten the reins to make Blazing Wings run slower, but saw it getting more excited and running wildly to the tree on the right side of the official road.
It turned out that Zanghong was waiting there, and the two horses started rubbing each other very affectionately.
Xiao Mubai and Han Sa lightly jumped down from the tree together. He raised his sword eyebrows and teased Xia Chu: "Are you going to abandon me again?"
Xia Chu was so happy that he had already turned over and dismounted, allowing them to cross their necks and fight each other.
He walked to Xiao Mubai and lowered his head and said, "You are stationed at the border and cannot return to Beijing without an edict. Are you here to see me off specifically?"
"Who said this king has no edict?" Xiao Mubai's twinkling eyes stared at Xia Chu's surprised eyes.
Xia Chu said 'ah'. After a moment, his eyes turned from surprise to surprise, and the corners of his lips were full of smiles: "When did you ask for the emperor's decree?"
"Of course I can go and watch the fourth brother's wedding. Besides, why am I willing to let you go back to Beijing alone." Xiao Mubai pinched her cheek lovingly.
A blush instantly appeared on Xia Chu's face, and then she remembered what the Marquis mentioned in the letter. She repeated it to Xiao Mubai and then suggested: "Why don't you also send some people to guard outside the gate of the capital? To prevent any fish from slipping through the net.”
Xiao Mubai nodded, glanced at the plum blossom wine on Chiyi's back and said with a smile, "You don't care about me, but you care about the wine I brewed."
"I thought I couldn't take you away, so I took away the wine you brewed." Xia Chu lowered his head and murmured softly. From a distance, it seemed as if he was buried in his chest.
"I knew that you were deceiving me with your empty words. I had expected that you, a heartless person, would abandon me without even saying hello." Xiao Mubai's tone instantly brought out a hint of resentment.
Xia Chu knew that he was in the wrong, and what he did from beginning to end was far inferior to Xiao Mubai.
Among the two people under the tree, Xia Chu was coaxing Xiao Mubai softly, but Han Sa alone stopped the raven that was coming after him.
After Han Sa came back with them, he had just seen the raven.
At this time, he risked his life to stop in front of Raven's horse, fearing that he would disturb the two people who were flirting under the tree. Habitually, he touched the raven's neck which was so cold when he saw it. He smiled and flattered him: "Brother Raven, can I spread out a mat for you to rest for a while?"
The raven glanced at him, disdaining to pay attention to him, and urged the horse to continue forward.
"No, Raven, the prince and the young master are discussing something in front. You'd better come down and have a rest and drink some water without disturbing them." With a professional spirit, Han Sa stepped up and stopped him again.
This time, Raven did as he said and got off the horse, but instead of walking to either side, he pressed directly in front of Han Sa.
Bian Ding, who followed behind, hid in the tree, gloating about Han Sa's misfortune and smiling broadly, secretly rejoicing that someone would be able to empathize with him and understand his pain.
However, Bian Ding failed to get what he wanted.
Xia Chu, who was under the tree in the distance, called out: "Have you had enough rest? It's time to hurry up."
Raven stopped when he heard this, and Han Sa hurriedly handed him the reins. While feeling grateful for the young master's life-saving grace, he murmured, is he taking a rest
Is he risking his life to create opportunities for the prince
Bian Ding on the tree sighed when he saw this, and then jumped down to catch up.
Xia Chu recalled the raven and slowed down, instead of riding Blazing Wings with Xiao Mubai to go sightseeing ahead.
Han Sa glanced at the raven and felt very unhappy. He was working so hard, but he couldn't compare to the raven's position in the young master's heart.
In fact, Han Sa was wrong. Not only the raven, Xia Chu was also concerned about Bian Ding, who was hiding in the dark...
A group of four people galloped towards the capital, while Du Hanfei in the capital had been feeling uneasy since he sent people to Guwan.
Until he received a letter from Mao Xianchun, saying that His Royal Highness was lucky enough to be rescued by Zhao Xingwen, but Prime Minister Du should rest assured that no one from the private army was left behind during the attack.
Du Hanfei wrote him a letter in reply, asking him why there was no news about Xue Xiuguo.
Although the letter was filled with anger, his heart relaxed slightly, and he had the energy to start preparing for Du Kun's wedding.
Seeing that today is already June 11th and the wedding is less than a full month away, he is extremely busy and has just returned from the house.
"How many days have the people sent to Guwan been there?" Du Hanfei replied to Mingyi, who had just sent Du Kun back to his room.
Mingyi calculated the time and replied: "We have been gone for nine days, so we should arrive in Guwan. News should come back in the next two days."
Du Hanfei was leaning on the chair a little lost. There has been no news from Xue Xiuguo, and his letter to Mao Xianchun has not been answered.
Therefore, he was relieved for a while, but began to feel uneasy again.
Mao Xianchunzhi did not reply to him, naturally because the Marquis, who did not know the situation, blocked the letter.
He changed hands and sent it to Xia Chu...
