The prince's people came soon, and the earlier they set off, the sooner they could reach their destination.
When boarding the boat, Yue Dansheng and the old man were assigned to the main boat.
The guard uniform of Rujiang Palace was dark brown, and Yue Dansheng didn't want to wear it. Even in the most difficult time of his life, he had never been anyone's servant.
The old man didn't wear any clothes either, and at his age, he wasn't used to bowing his head to anyone.
The two were still wearing their original tattered and patched clothes, not to mention not keeping warm, but also dirty.
The prince couldn't stand it, but he didn't force them to wear guard uniforms, so he sent someone to find two robes for them to put on temporarily, one for fear that they would bring fleas aboard.
appearance.
After washing up and changing into new clothes, Yue Dansheng's face, which had been silent all morning, finally calmed down. He really hasn't been this clean and comfortable for a long time.
The prince didn't have any special requirements for them, and he didn't talk to them again, as if the two of them were really two ordinary people who were picked up on the road when the other was free.
bodyguard.
But the prince didn't say anything, but the people around him all stared at him.
It is said that their boat is going to Baishan Island.
Yue Dansheng had heard of the name Baishanzhou. In fact, although they stayed at the transit terminal for the past two months, they secretly inquired about a lot of information about this strange country.
Baishanzhou is located on the left side of the two rivers. There is a small pier connected to the state capital. The pier belongs to a small county under the jurisdiction of Baishanzhou. I don’t remember the name of the county, but it is said that it is a very poor
sleepy county.
They were going to that dock county now.
Yue Dansheng didn't like to talk, and he was indifferent. Since he got on the boat, servants from the palace had been around him every day, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he really didn't.
But Rong Leng's master liked to communicate with these young people very much. He knew that the other party came to talk to him on purpose, but he always took it happily. In the end, their secrets were naturally not revealed.
He was tricked by others, but he got a lot of other people's secrets.
It's not exactly a secret, but it's something they don't know.
For example, the purpose of their trip.
The round-faced, chubby maid sat in the gray-haired old man's house, eating the cakes the old man handed to her, her bulging cheeks moved like a hamster, and then said to the old man: "
We didn't know it at the beginning, but didn't things get serious later? It was said that the governor of Tingjiang Prefecture killed more than one person in Baishanzhou, and the Holy One was furious. We
Grandpa said he would come and have a look. "
Seeing the little chubby girl eating so deliciously, the benevolent old man couldn't help but narrow his eyes with a smile: "So you are just here to watch the excitement? Then your prince is quite pompous, seven or eight boats follow
with. "
The little chubby girl chuckled: "Grandpa, it's really fun to talk. He's our prince, isn't he also your prince
For some reason, it would be okay if we were in the capital, not far from Baishanzhou, but we went to Lezhou with the old concubine to worship the ancestors, it was such a long way, and we had to rush over to get the old Wang
The concubines are all gone. "
The old man frowned slightly: "Going so far away, is it because the prince's cronies are involved?"
The little chubby girl was taken aback, quickly lowered her voice, and said vigilantly: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, our prince is just a king with a different surname, how dare we talk about cronies with the governor of a state, your majesty
But I hate this..."
The old man nodded hurriedly: "Okay, grandpa will stop talking, you can eat more."
The little chubby girl smiled again, took the pastry and bit it bite by bite, and continued to say: "We always look at you, Grandpa, not because we want to know anything, but because we find it strange, my lord."
I don’t like to pick people up on the road. No one stayed in that small pier for one night and brought back two big living people. Our old prince has been a soldier all his life.
I have always been selected from the army, and I have never looked for it outside, not to mention, grandpa, you are quite old... "
To say that he is quite old is to be euphemistic, isn't everyone called Grandpa
The old man had almost heard the question, so he asked the last question: "My lord, is there anyone you don't agree with?"
The little chubby girl shook her head: "No, although our lord is not very popular in Beijing, but Young Master Biao is a person who likes to make friends. With Young Master Biao here, how could the lord be at odds with others, everyone
I can't even please my son. "
The little chubby girl ate three plates of pastries in the old man's house before leaving satisfied. After he left, the old man also went to Yue Dansheng's room.
Yue Dansheng was sharpening his sword in the room. The sword was given by the captain of the ship's guard. After he got it, he saw that the sword was not considered sharp, so he began to sharpen it himself.
For many years in the rivers and lakes, Yue Dansheng has always had the habit of carrying weapons with him. Before living on the pier and being alone, it was forced by the environment. Now that he has weapons, he naturally does not want to.
Let go.
When Yue Dansheng was sharpening his sword, the old man was sitting on the chair in his room, with his hands in his hands, and muttered: "The court of Xianyan Kingdom is so strange, the governor of a state is actually run by the emperor
In charge, the power is not small, but princes and nobles have no real power, only a beautiful name, this is in Qingyun country, but I have never heard of it. "
Yue Dansheng was not interested in the systems of other countries, so he only asked, "Did he find you?"
Knowing who he was talking about, the old man shook his head: "No."
"What's the purpose?"
The old man shook his head again: "It is said that this little prince has no enmity with anyone, and he came from Lezhou this trip. But you have also seen that his appearance before is clearly suffering,
I want to find you and me for help. "
"Then just wait." Yue Dansheng looked at it openly: "I can't hold back, he can speak by himself."
The old man smiled: "Dignified lord, I'm afraid I never dreamed that there would be a day when I would ask two homeless men for help. He is probably awkward right now, and I don't know how to tell you and me."
To the surprise of the old man and Yue Dansheng, the big ship sailed for six days, and when it arrived at the so-called Dock County, the little prince didn't even talk to them.
Instead, through the mouth of the chubby girl, the servants of the palace on the boat were much less wary of these two strangers, and would greet them occasionally.
This wharf county is called Xijin County. When the big ship docked, on board, Yue Dansheng saw people standing on the shore, all of them were court officials in official uniforms.
Not too small.
The prince disembarked surrounded by guards, and the scene was grand.
As soon as he went, the people below saluted, looking respectful.
Yue Dansheng and the old man walked last, and after getting off the boat, they followed the young prince.
The little prince was greeting an official, and after talking for a while, a sweaty middle-aged man came out, buried his head and said: "The prince has been exhausted all the way, and the next official is ready."
Good mansion, I respectfully invite the prince to return to the mansion for a rest. "
