Chapter 181: The Strange Prayer Village

Although Murong Shuo and Xiao Gong were fighting with each other, Murong Shuo had been quietly observing Xiao Gong's every move. From where she went and what she did, to her habits of always picking out spinach when she ate, eating garlic instead of green onions, etc., he had a clear grasp of everything. Although it was not the answer he wanted, he also had a certain understanding of Xiao Gong.

Murong Shuo's hidden skills are simply perfect, and even the crown prince has hidden it, let alone Xiaogong and the crown princess. For them, Murong Shuo is a transparent person immersed in their own world. Transparent as air, but observing the small gong all the time.

Although Murong Shuo secretly paid attention to Xiao Gong with a suspicious attitude, in fact, he still seemed to have forgotten about it, and he still inadvertently put Xiao Gong in his heart. He actually knew her better than he thought and cared about her. Why are so many people, he only doubts her, but can't understand her? He doesn't seem to have thought about the answer to this question.

The more he observed Xiao Gong, the more curious Murong Shuo became about Xiao Gong. The doubts he held on to him would not subside, because he could not find the answer he was looking for. But gradually, observing the little gong became his own pleasure. When everyone else was unhappy because of him and Xiao Gong's affair, like a butterfly effect, Luo Zijin was unhappy, the prince was unhappy, Qiao Zhihan, Wang Wu and the rest of his entourage were unhappy, only he was annoyed when he saw Xiao Gong because he ate a nasty spinach, and he stuck out his tongue and laughed secretly.

I used to see her often, and I always quarreled with her, always treating her as an opponent. But the observation of her along the way made Murong Shuo see her as innocent as a little girl in life. Happy for some small things, seeing a grasshopper jumping, but also with bright eyes and reaching out to catch it, even if it is just a few scratches in the void, he is happy like a child.

Occasionally, she was really caught by her, and she was so frightened that she quickly opened her hand. I'm afraid that I won't be able to master the strength of my hands and hurt the poor little worm. It wasn't until she saw it jump away again that she was startled by the suddenness again, and then smiled helplessly. Watch the little worm leave and return to nature.

Murong Shuo never knew that when he looked at such a small gong, the smile in his heart had gradually spread to the corners of his mouth. That kind of comfortable smile, he hasn't had in a long time. In his eyes. Now there is only Luo Xiaogong. Although it wasn't because of love at first, it was doubt, but when a man is interested in a woman, it's not far from liking.

However, although Murong Shuo has some changes to Xiaogong. But he is also a stubborn person, and he will not change his mind after making a decision. Therefore, in the more than a month of rushing before arriving at the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the low pressure between Murong Shuo and Xiaoluo still continued. The entire team was depressed before entering the six counties of Jiangnan. People don't like to talk. Even walking looks a little sluggish.

This situation, until the beginning of entering the six counties in Jiangnan, was gradually infected by the early spring in Jiangnan and gradually radiated new vitality. It is the most prosperous time of the spring market in many villages and towns. The third day of the third month of March is not only the Shangsi Festival, but also one of the big days to worship the sacred tree. At this time on weekdays, the prince has to go with the emperor to worship outside the Ming Hall, but this time, he is not there.

On such a festival, of course, the people are singing and dancing to celebrate. Even passers-by like the prince and them were invited to drink together to celebrate. What's more, it is the sacrificial celebration of the people of the same village, which is even more lively. In such a noisy environment, it's hard not to be happy. Everyone's affection is higher. After staying overnight, we continued on our way and headed to the next village in the morning.

In the afternoon, the prince and the others rushed to Qiuli Village. Asking for gifts is the "second gate" to enter the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River. After here, another day's journey will take you to the village of Cognac. The village of Cognac is the final "third gate". After Cognac Village, it can be regarded as truly entering the center of the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and gradually entering the prosperous center.

However, when the prince and the others came to Qiuli Village, they obviously found it very strange and weird. By the time they arrived, it was almost time to prepare dinner. But strangely, in the farmland outside the village, the peasant women were still working. And although there is smoke floating in the air in the village, it is only a cluster, not a small patch floating on every house.

At first, everyone thought that the spring festival in Qiuli Village was different from other villages and towns. The rules are different, which is why such an abnormal thing happens. But when everyone walked into the village under the vigilant gaze of those peasant women, they found that there was not a single qiē related to the spring festival here, and not even a single man was seen. Occasionally, I saw children playing, and they were all short and malnourished. But their necks are all much thicker than those of ordinary children.

"It's strange that the necks of those peasant women just now are also thick. Luo Zijin frowned, unconsciously approached the prince, grabbed his sleeve and said. It was so strange here, she was really scared.

"Don't be afraid. The prince felt Luo Zijin's fear and dependence on him for the first time, he was very happy, held her hand and comforted her, and continued, "There must be something special here." The smoke gathered, and the men were gone, presumably under the smoke. ”

"It's so strange here, Senior Brother, do we really want to live here?" Qiao Zhihan had been following behind Murong Shuo, and she couldn't stand the current situation, so she scared herself into thinking about it, and then didn't dare to move forward and asked.

"There are so many of us here, don't scare yourself. Since it's weird, let's get the problem straight. Your Highness has already said that the men must have gathered under the smoke of the cooking, and we will send someone over to take a look. It's already afternoon, and if you continue on your journey, you'll have to sleep on the road. Do you think it doesn't matter where His Highness and Niangniang can sleep?" Murong Shuo gently persuaded. The best way to persuade her to stay is to use the crown prince and the crown princess to persuade her.

"Of course not! Then, I, senior brother, let's go and have a look. As soon as she talked about the crown prince and the crown princess, Qiao Zhihan really decided to stay. Even she, who was originally afraid, took the initiative to ask Murong Shuo to go with her to explore the way. The purpose of her coming here was to protect Senior Brother Prince and Sister Luo.

"No need, just let the royal house send someone. We're just waiting here. Murong Shuo knew that Qiao Zhihan was scared, how could she embarrass her. Even if he followed, Zhihan would be scared. It would be better to let her stay here. Anyway, this is also a small problem, killing chickens with a knife. (To be continued.) )
