The two returned to the carriage with their hearts in mind, and Qinglan, who was also dressed as a small servant, brought food.

A delicious soup made of vegetables and diced meat, and served with steamed cakes.

Xue Jinyi picked up the food and handed it to Puyang Xuan, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please eat?" ”

Pu Yangxuan took it, but waited until Xue Jinyi picked up the soup bowl before eating together.

Xue Jinyi swallowed a mouthful of steamed cakes and muttered in a low voice: "You are like this, will people doubt our relationship?" ”

Pu Yangxuan sighed helplessly: "But, I can't help it like this?" ”

"Then I must keep my distance from you, so that no one will see you." Xue Jinyi touched her chin, as if she was seriously thinking about this question.

Pu Yangxuan took advantage of Qinglan to block the sight of others, and grabbed her hand touching her chin, "It seems that we have to tie a chain around us to prevent you from leaving my side for a step." ”

Xue Jinyi grinned, "Do you want me to watch from the side, do you want me to watch from the side?!" I'm not a hooligan......"

But the original owner seems to have been a hooligan......

"So what to do?" Pu Yangxuan didn't mention this stubble.

Xue Jinyi secretly stabbed him with that elbow, "Okay, okay, I won't leave you." She also knew that Pu Yangxuan was a measured person, and their words were just a joke.

"Okay." Pu Yangxuan replied with a smile.

After the two had lunch happily, Pu Yangxuan called Ma Zhong and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Qingmo and his party.

After the explanation, the convoy set off again.

"If our guess is correct, the purpose of his trip is to sabotage the peace talks and provoke war." Pu Yangxuan said: "It's a pity that there is no evidence now, and if you rashly expose it, you will be bitten back." ”

Xue Jinyi nodded, "Actually, in this way, his purpose of engaging in so many battles in the East City is very clear. Just like the Sun family used Huazhaolou to make friends with officials and wealthy businessmen in the DPRK and China......"

Pu Yangxuan tidied up the cushions behind her so that she could be more comfortable, "Sooner or later, I will catch his horse's feet." ”

Xue Jinyi smiled slightly, and continued to nest in Pu Yangxuan's arms, she was busy enough these days, she had hardly slept well, and now the carriage was bumpy a few times, and she had just eaten and drunk enough, and she was sleepy after a while.

Her eyelids began to fight, and Pu Yangxuan gently stroked the top of her hair, "If you're sleepy, just rely on me to sleep for a while." ”

"Let's sleep together." Xue Jinyi said with a smile, "Now that the territory of Gyeonggi can still be peaceful, I have to enjoy a little stability, and I can face the thorny road after I have enough spirits!" ”

"Okay." Pu Yangxuan held Xue Jinyi's hand, and the two closed their eyes together.

The team of Yihe went straight to Yangju, and it was indeed safe and secure on the boundary of Gyeonggi, and after passing through Pizhou and Ningzhou, they came to the boundary of Gyeongju - the place of origin of the Puyang clan.

At noon, the sky was dark and dreary, the dark clouds were rolling, the wind was passing through the trees, and the black and oppressive branches seemed to be dancing like demons, "rustling", and seeing that the heavy rain was coming.

Ma Zhong rode his horse to the carriage and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it will take half an hour to reach Gyeongju City." The lower official has sent someone to Gyeongju Castle to report that he will stay at the Gyeongju Post House for one night. ”

"Okay." Pu Yangxuan nodded.

Xue Jinyi asked softly, "I remember that the Gyeongju Thorn Shi is His Royal Highness King Feng, right?" There is also the case of Zhuang Erlang that happened here. ”

"Yes, I need to visit King Feng, he is my father's cousin." Pu Yangxuan said: "Zhuang Erlang's case, my aunt and grandmother have been investigating, so we don't need to bother for the time being." ”

"Well, the focus is on meeting this cousin and the rest of his relatives." Xue Jinyi raised her hand and touched her hair, "Now is the most appropriate time to change back to the original makeup, let's leave a good impression on the elders." ”

Pu Yangxuan smiled and hugged Xue Jinyi tightly, with her, she felt extraordinarily motivated to do anything.

The carriage and horses traveled for another two quarters, and the rain poured down.

Listening to the "crackling" sound of rain smashing on the roof of the car, Xue Jinyi couldn't help but think of the mudslide she encountered in Lantian County, and couldn't help but become alert, lifting the curtains and looking outside.

The rain curtain is so dense that it is almost impossible to see the scenery in the distance, but at least you can make out that the road is lined with trees on both sides, and there are no hillside mounds for the time being.

Xue Jinyi called Ma Zhong and instructed: "Trouble Ma Shilang to tell people to pay attention to both sides of the road, especially where there are hillside mounds, and be careful of mud and rocks rolling down." ”

"Yes, the next official will go." Ma Zhong was ordered to do it.

Xue Jinyi continued to look outside, and after a while, the convoy slowly stopped.

Ma Zhong came to report, "The people who went to Gyeongju to deliver the message turned back, saying that there were several big trees broken in front of them, and they were on the road, and the carriages and horses could not pass, and the lower officials had arranged for people to move them, so please wait for a while for the king and princess of Chu." ”

"Although this wind and rain is quite strong, it may not be able to break the tree, how can there be a fallen tree blocking the way?" Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan glanced at each other, "In this wilderness, it's better to be careful." ”

Ma Zhong straightened the hat on his head, and his face became serious, he is a civil official in the end, so he will not think too much about the trap ambush, and when Princess Chu mentioned this matter, she had to call people to be vigilant.

"The lower official immediately called people to be on guard." He said, no wonder the King of Chu wants to take the princess of Chu with him, such a careful woman is indeed a good helper.

Xue Jinyi watched Ma Zhong run away, and clearly felt that the crisis was coming, and she had been very comfortable since she left the capital, but she did not paralyze her.

"It's better to be fine." She prayed softly.

"What's going on up front?"

Suddenly, a warm male voice came into Xue Jinyi's ears through the sound of rain.

She squinted her eyes, and Shen Qingmo rode over in a hat but still graceful horse, and nodded to her with a smile.

Xue Jinyi said: "The tree has fallen, blocking the way, and it will take a little time to move away." Boss Shen is still careful, I heard that thieves like to take advantage of this opportunity to kill people and sell goods. The things you are escorting are the most valuable, so you must take care of them. ”

Shen Qingmo clenched his fists, "Thank you Chu...... Remind. ”

Xue Jinyi unceremoniously lowered the curtain.

Shen Qingmo looked at it, the rain curtain was vast, the people and horses were more or less tired, and the cold rain diffused the cold, and it was a sparsely populated suburb, and after staying for a long time, people felt that the cold had penetrated into the bone marrow.

You have to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, right?

But if you can't go to the village in front of you, and you can't find a store in the back, where can you stay?

Xue Jinyi listened to the sound of the rain outside, and continued to nest in Pu Yangxuan's arms, making her body warm and comfortable, "With such a heavy rain, it is very easy to be infected with wind and cold, so let's go into the city as soon as possible to avoid the rain, and then boil ginger tea, and let everyone go to the cold." She thought for a while and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to change back into the princess's outfit and make ginger soup for everyone by myself?" ”

Pu Yangxuan pretended to roll up his sleeves and work, "Then I will do it for Princess Chu." ”
