Chapter 119: Attending the Meeting
(Xie: Monthly ticket rewards for the brothers who are not hungry when they are full, leisure ronin, and moshaocong.) )
The drum of the first shift sounded, and Wang Yuan, who was sitting under the lamp and closed his eyes, heard the sound of gentle footsteps and entered the room, and Li Xin'er's voice sounded softly in his ears: "Erlang, it's time to prepare, the first shift has arrived." ”
Wang Yuan opened his eyes and saw Li Xin'er standing in front of him holding the armor of the prince's guard, and behind her was Gongsun Lan, who was dressed in black and had a sword hanging from her hair. Wang Yuanxi said: "Cousin, are you going to accompany me?" ”
Gongsun Lan said lightly: "The night patrol soldiers and horses on the road are not easy to deal with, and if you are not careful, you will make mistakes, so it is better for me to escort you there." ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "That's tired, my cousin has a top two, so will the twelve mothers still go?" ”
Li Xin'er said: "If the master comes forward, I don't need to follow, it's not good to have a lot of people." If I didn't have the confidence to send you outside the Daming Palace safely, I wouldn't have worked as a master. ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's okay, then you stay in the house, you have said the details that you should say more than many times, I know you are very nervous, but I am also very nervous when you make it like this." ”
Li Xin'er said: "I'm afraid that you will make a mistake in responding to the prince's questioning, and he will show the intention in your heart." The prince has a hard time, and he may think of a lot of your answers, so you should be most careful when dealing with them. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be careful to deal with it, can he still eat me?" ”
"For some reason, I don't feel at ease." Li Xin'er frowned.
"Xin'er, caring is chaotic, you have become a lot more cautious now. However, I am very confident in Wang Yuan, he will still judge the situation when doing things, don't worry too much. Your current state of mind is really not suitable to take Wang Yuan with you, there will be mistakes in the panic, you should stay at home. ”
"Yes, master."
Wang Yuan put on night clothes, put the package with armor on his back, and after dressing up, Li Xin'er first went to the house to see if everyone was asleep, and after everything was fine, Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuan entered the back garden and came to the courtyard wall.
Li Xin'er jumped on the wall, looked at the backs of the two of them hiding side by side, lowered her head thoughtfully, and sighed silently.
Jing'an Fang is far away from Daming Palace, and there are ten squares in a straight line, and they are all in Dongcheng, where the soldiers and horses patrolling the streets are more dense. The area around the Middle East City and Xingqing Palace, the Imperial City and the Taiji Palace is basically impossible to pass through at night. Because there are not only soldiers and horses from the south, but also soldiers and horses from the north, it is a place of cross patrol, and it is indeed difficult to pass through during the night curfew.
Gongsun Lan obviously knew this, so she chose to go east to Yongchongfang and Shengpingfang after coming out of Jing'an Fang, and then go north through these two fangs, and then go north after passing the most dangerous section of the road between Pingkang Fang and Dongshi, and then she could go directly to Changle Fang in front of Daming Palace.
Choosing this path is more than the distance of the land of three squares, and it takes more time, but the danger is much less. However, even so, hesitating Wang Yuan could only rely on Gongsun Lan's help to get in and out of the fang wall, and he always needed Gongsun Lan to remind Wuhou of the way to patrol the streets. Therefore, when he was halfway there, Gongsun Lan was obviously a little physically exhausted.
After climbing over into Anxing Fang, the two had to stop and rest under the root of the wall of the fang. In the dark, listening to the slight gasping voice of Gongsun Lan beside him, Wang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said in a low voice: "You're okay, you're tired enough." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "You should eat less dinner, your body is too heavy, and it is really more and more difficult to carry you up and down the wall." ”
Wang Yuan said ashamedly: "It's all because I don't have martial arts, if I have a little kung fu, I won't make you so tired." And this armor is too heavy, I knew that I would let Twelve Niang carry it with me. ”
Gongsun Lan said: "No, you can't learn, we won't be by your side in the future, and we can protect ourselves if we have martial arts." It is true that a man is full of poetry and writing talent, but isn't it more perfect to be both civil and military? After teaching you martial arts for a few days, you are not willing to work hard to practice the basic things except for being lazy to learn some moves. ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's not that I don't want to, isn't it too late for me to practice now?" The bones are hard. If you can come up with a quick set of kung fu, I don't mind putting some effort into it. At the very least, you can protect yourself. ”
Gongsun Lan said: "It's like I'm begging you to learn, you love to learn or not." In the future, when the enemy finds you and slashes you, you will regret that you have no skills. ”
Wang Yuan was speechless, and Gongsun Lan continued: "But what you said is also the truth, you are too late to learn martial arts now, your muscles and bones have grown hard, and if you want to learn from scratch, you will inevitably have to suffer more, and there will not be much progress." If you want to learn, you can only learn some self-defense moves and practice some body strength, which can also have some effect. I'll think about it and see if I can come up with a solution. ”
Wang Yuan reached over and grabbed Gongsun Lan's hand and said, "Thank you, cousin, cousin for your trouble, I will definitely practice hard." ”
Gongsun Lan shook his hand and said, "What to do?" If I teach you martial arts, then you will really be your master. No big or small. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Master is master, I don't mind having such a master that everyone envies." Why don't you call you your cousin, master? ”
Gongsun Lan straightened his waist, Wang Yuan thought that his flirtation was too explicit, and was about to apologize, Gongsun Lan reached out to cover Wang Yuan's mouth and whispered: "Don't speak, someone is coming." ”
Wang Yuan was startled, and secretly looked up following Gongsun Lan's gaze, but saw that on the wall not far away, two black shadows with the sound of hunting in clothes broke through the air, and disappeared into the darkness of the wall in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yuan asked in surprise: "Who is it?" ”
Gongsun Lan said in a low voice: "Like you and me, we are both night walkers in Chang'an, nothing unusual." There is no conflict if we don't look at each other. ”
Wang Yuan was surprised: "Chang'an City is heavily guarded, but there are still so many people coming and going, isn't this security decoration?" ”
Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan and said, "The court doesn't worry about it, but you are very worried." Is it strange that the person who is the minister in the middle of the court does not have a group of masters by his side, and many things are solved secretly when they can't be done? ”
Wang Yuan said dumbfoundedly: "It seems that I want to learn martial arts well, otherwise one day someone touched the head of the bed and slashed it, it would really be an unknown death." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "You know you're afraid? If it weren't for your good luck, there happened to be the Yang family who wanted to support you on the throne, and Li Linfu and Wang Ji had scruples and didn't do anything to you. Otherwise, where do you think we can live safely? I'm afraid it's going to take three days to receive these people. Don't say it, have you rested, it's almost the second shift, you have to hurry up. ”
Wang Yuan stood up, Gongsun Lan reached out and grabbed Wang Yuan's arm, took Wang Yuan and flew up to the wall, and quickly ran to the north.
Before the second watch, the two arrived outside the wall of Changle Fang's North Fang, the two shrank in the shadows, Gongsun Lan pointed to the square in front of the palace where the night lights were shining like day, and said in a low voice: "It's here, I can only wait for you here, you be careful." ”
Wang Yuan nodded, unloaded the package and began to wear the Mingguang armor, while Gongsun Lan looked at the wind beside him. After learning that Suosuo had been in trouble for a long time, Wang Yuan did not get dressed, but asked for help in a low voice.
"Cousin help me, I can't wear this thing."
Gongsun Lan was angry and wanted to scold, so he had no choice but to go over to help, this armor is very hammer, shoulder pads, neck straps, belts, knee pads, chest mirrors, etc. are all detachable, in order to be easy to carry, these are disassembled when wrapped in the package, and now it is indeed a little difficult for Wang Yuan to wear them one by one.
Gongsun Lan helped Wang Yuan wear it lightly one by one, like a virtuous little daughter-in-law serving her husband to dress, Wang Yuan turned his body with Gongsun Lan's whisper, and his nose smelled the faint fragrance close at hand, and he enjoyed it very much, and his thoughts were like a wild horse flying without a trace, and suddenly Gongsun Lan was lightly hit on the armor and woke up.
"Dressed, what are you doing in a daze."
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, I can't do anything without my cousin." Then I went. ”
Gongsun Lan's eyes sparkled in the dark night, and she said in a low voice: "Go, be careful, after coming out, go to the east side of the wall, and you will reappear when you hear the cat's bark." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Okay, my cousin learns to meow, this is the first time I've heard it." ”
Gongsun Lanyang was about to fight, Wang Yuan hurriedly moved out of the shadows, and under the light in the distance, he looked down at his dress, and suddenly put on a posture and said, "Cousin, am I handsome in this?" ”
Gongsun Lan's low voice came from the darkness behind him, Wang Yuan smiled, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and walked towards the palace gate.
