Chapter 408: Keep going
As soon as the two of them put it together, they discussed a plan and told the guards to do it.
The carriage headed all the way to the northwest and joined Ma Zhong and the others in a secluded and desolate dry forest.
When everyone saw that the king and princess of Chu had finally returned safely, they were overjoyed and wanted to salute.
Pu Yangxuan said: "No need to be polite, let's set off as soon as possible, it has been delayed for a few days, and we must travel day and night on the road." ”
Ma Zhong said: "King Chu rest assured, Xiaguan has reformulated the itinerary and can guarantee to arrive in Liangzhou City within the time limit." ”
"Okay."
Everyone got on the cart and got on their horses, and set off at once.
Ma Zhong rode his horse and walked by the carriage and informed the king of Chu about the situation in Loujiazhuang these days, "...... Therefore, everything is fine with us, please rest assured that the king and princess of Chu will be relieved. The ......" he looked left and right, his eyes meaningful.
He wanted to know what had happened to the King of Chu and his wife in King Feng's mansion.
Xue Jinyi explained: "King Feng invited the King of Chu to stay with me in the mansion. ”
"Wouldn't that delay the peace?!" Ma Zhong was surprised, it was impossible for King Feng not to know how important Yihe was to Da Zhou, right? If there is a problem in the negotiation of peace, Suo Guo sends troops to the Great Zhou, and Gyeongju is harassed earlier than the capital, does he Feng still want to have a peaceful day?
When Xue Jinyi saw his expression, she told the truth 1510.
After hearing this, Ma Zhong was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "King Feng is like this, and he is also planning for his descendants, but the emperor has already issued a holy decree, how can there be any reason to change it casually." If there is a delay on this road for a few more days, the consequences will be unimaginable! Also, that Chang Changshi harbored evil intentions, and he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to send a killer. ”
Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "As long as he dares to send a killer, he is destined to ask for his own hardship." ”
Seeing this, Ma Zhong asked, "Is there anything that needs to be done by the officials?" ”
"Not for the time being, it's important to hurry now." Puyang Xuan Road.
"Yes." Ma Zhong rode forward a little and motioned for everyone to quicken their pace.
Xue Jinyi leaned on Pu Yangxuan's shoulder and yawned, "I want to squint for a while." ”
"Okay." Pu Yangxuan hugged her shoulders so that she could lean more comfortably, "I can also be lazy for a while." ”
"Hopefully there will be good news when I wake up." Xue Jinyi smiled and closed her eyes.
But instead of really falling asleep, she recalled the memory that first came to her mind.
In fact, she originally saw all these in her eyes, but they were hidden in the depths of her memory, and they were triggered under specific conditions? Xue Jinyi recalled over and over again who wore red high heels at the drinking party that night.
She also has such high heels, but they are not so small.
Small?
Female, small feet, red heels......
She felt like the answer was about to come out.
However, that night the company was filled with a joyful atmosphere, everyone thought that she would definitely win the actress crown and become the youngest actress in the history of this award, so the event was extraordinarily lively, everyone competed to perform on stage, making everyone happy, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax again and again.
She was also very happy, so at most she noticed what everyone was wearing, but she didn't look down at her shoes.
In fact, Feng Ling completely meets the two characteristics of "female and small feet", but she is not sure whether Feng Ling was wearing red high heels that night, so she can't conclude that Feng Ling watched her drown in the pool based on those two points alone.
Who will it be......
Xue Jinyi's hand shrunk in her sleeve slowly clenched.
At the same time, Chang Li rushed to Loujiazhuang, and like these days, the people and horses who negotiated peace lost their backbone, and they were lazy, as if they had come here to play.
"Where's Ma Shilang?" He asked angrily.
The person being questioned was basking in the sun and replied lazily: "It seems that there is a polo field in the back, playing polo with a few people." ”
"Polo?" Chang Li's tone was a little sharp, as if Ma Zhong and the others had done something unforgivable.
The man plucked out his ears, "Yes, because the king of Chu is not here, we can only stay in Zhuangzi, and there is nothing to do every day, so we can only have some fun casually?" ”
Chang Li didn't know the other party's official position, but after all, he was a Beijing official, so he didn't have the same knowledge as him.
He looked at the other horses who were idle around him, and beckoned his own people to find Ma Zhong, but halfway through, he grabbed a man from a farm and asked, "Have the king and princess of Chu ever returned?!" Where is Ma Zhong? ”
The subordinate was frightened, "That day, the king and princess of Chu were invited away by His Royal Highness King Feng, and they haven't seen them since. Ma Shilang...... The little one didn't know where Ma Shilang was, but I heard that they called a few people early in the morning to play polo. ”
Chang Li threw away his subordinates and strode in the direction of the polo field.
When he was about to arrive, a man dressed as a guard hurriedly came and caught up with Chang Li, "Chang Changshi, the killer has found the King of Chu and the princess!" ”
"What?!" Chang Li was overjoyed, "Where are the people, did they immediately kill in place?!" ”
"The king and princess of Chu are still in the city of Gyeongju...... They fled, and the killers are chasing them with all their might, like catching a turtle in an urn, please rest assured. The guards said respectfully, hoping that Chang Changshi would do their best and not punish them for not catching the King of Chu and his wife.
When Chang Li heard this, his face was gloomy, "A bunch of waste ......"
Coldly, he thought of the thousand-pound bluestone slab, and thought that the king and princess of Chu might not be what they seemed...... So, escape is expected?
"Chase, you must kill the King of Chu! It is absolutely not allowed to leave it alive and then thrown into the wild as if it had been eaten by wild beasts. ”
"Yes." The guards breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Chang Li continued to walk towards the polo field, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and looked around in confusion.
But I can't say what's wrong.
At this moment, a handsome young man approached, playing with a small object in his hand, which shimmered in the sunlight, causing Chang Li to look over involuntarily.
"What are you?" He asked angrily.
Shen Qingmo caught the thing that was thrown up, and then spread out his palm to Chang Li, "It's a ruby from the Western Regions, do you have the mood to buy it?" ”
"From the Western Regions?" Chang Li squinted, the ruby was the size of an egg, shining in the sun, reflecting an alluring brilliance, "You are a merchant who went to Liangzhou with the King of Chu to negotiate peace?" ”
"Exactly." Shen Qingmo nodded, "The little one plans to bring some things for sale." ”
"Oh?" Chang Li touched his chin, "This official is the governor of Gyeongju, and he will soon take over the people of Yihe, you will sort out everything and let this official take a careful inventory." ”
Maybe you can get a lot of oil and water and give it to the officials above.
Shen Qingmo said: "It seems that Chang Changshi likes this ruby, since the small one is related to Changshi, this ruby will be given to you." ”
"Give it to me?" Chang Li felt that there could be no such good thing in the world.
The people who followed him were a little speechless, didn't they come to trouble Ma Zhong, why was he hooked away by a ruby?
They wanted to make a loud reminder, but they were afraid of being scolded by Chang Changshi.
Forget it, he's going to delay here himself.
"Yes." Shen Qingmo said slowly in a seductive tone: "Such a good object is the most suitable in the hands of someone who is destined, isn't it?" If Chang Changshi doesn't look down on this, there are still some good ones in the small area, show you? ”
"No, no, no, this one is pretty good." Chang Li was also embarrassed to take other people's better things for nothing, and the ruby turned out to look at the sun.
The sunlight filtered through the gem, leaving a red spot on his face, making his face much more hideous, and his eyes revealing more greed.
Facing the sun, this ruby is more like the eyes of a beautiful woman, and it wants to suck his three souls and six souls into it!
