Hu Xiaotian stayed in the camp tent of Long Xiyue for nearly half an hour before coming out, leaving the tent, he did not leave immediately, but came to Zijuan's side and said in a low voice: "Zijuan, the miscellaneous family has a few words to say to you. ” Zijuan couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and said softly: "Grandpa Hu has anything to order." ” Hu Xiaotian called her to his tent, Zijuan's eyes were obviously a little frightened, her ten fingers were tangled together, and her head also drooped.
Hu Xiaotian said with a pleasant face: "Zijuan, how does the princess treat you?"
Zijuan said: "The princess treats Zijuan as kind as a mountain, why does Gonggong Hu ask me like this?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "In that case, I asked you to do one thing for the princess, are you willing?"
Zijuan bit her lip and said, "Zijuan will not hesitate to sacrifice her life for the princess." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Tomorrow to cross the river, wait until after crossing the Yongjiang River will enter the territory of Dayong, although the princess and the seven princes of Dayong have a marriage contract, but one day did not arrive in Yongdu, one day can not relax vigilance, for the safety of the princess, I thought of an idea." ” Zijuan said: "What an idea?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zijuan, although Zijuan's beauty could not be compared with Long Xiyue, but her height was similar to Long Xiyue, Hu Xiaotian said: "I am going to let you wear princess clothes and pretend to be a princess, and Your Highness is by your side." ” Zijuan was shocked when she heard this: "Grandpa Hu, this matter must not be done, I am just a subordinate, how dare I pretend to be a princess, this kind of rebellious thing, Zijuan will not dare to do it anyway." ” Hu Xiaotian sneered in her heart, she didn't dare to die, she said in a low voice: "It's not that you keep playing, it's just a means of prevention, you and the princess are similar in shape."
If you put on the princess's clothes and wear a veil, I don't think outsiders will be able to tell the difference.
Don't you even want to do this for the princess?"
Zijuan hurriedly said: "It's not that Zijuan is unwilling, but if this matter is exposed, wouldn't Zijuan be guilty of defrauding the king." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "You are for the sake of the princess's safety, not only innocent but also meritorious."
You don't have to think too much, after crossing the river, the situation will stabilize, and you will not be allowed to continue to play. ” Zijuan said: "Does the princess know about this matter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "This matter can be decided by the miscellaneous family, Zijuan, there is one thing you must remember, except for you and me and the princess, no third party will be allowed to know about this matter, if you dare to leak it."
Don't blame the miscellaneous family for not talking about our past feelings. ” Zijuan saw the cold murderous intent that suddenly burst out of Hu Xiaotian's eyes, and he trembled in fright, nodded his head, and didn't dare to say anything more.
In the early morning of the next day, Hu Xiaotian woke up early, the sky was still not bright, but the surroundings were white and foggy.
Hu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and immediately became ecstatic in his heart from a short moment of stunned.
God really helps me, isn't this kind of weather equivalent to creating the best opportunity for him It seems that God is beautiful, eradicate Wen Boyuan, and save the princess today.
Hu Xiaotian was not the first to get up, Zhou Mo was already preparing the carriage and horses, and at this time, the figures of Princess Anping and Zijuan appeared in front of the tent.
Both of them wore veils, and in fact they had changed their clothes, unless someone who knew them well could see some flaws up close, but in the case of them being veiled.
It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish from the outside, and it is even more difficult to distinguish due to the fog today.
Princess Anping had already changed into Zijuan's palace maid clothes, winked at Hu Xiaotian in front of the tent, and then re-entered the tent.
Hu Xiaotian came to Zhou Mo's side, Zhou Mo was clear about this matter, checked the bridle of the horse pulling the cart, and said in a low voice: "Ready" Hu Xiaotian said: "Big brother, please" Zhou Mo smiled: "After this matter is over, our brothers must have a good drink." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded vigorously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Keep an eye on Zijuan, if she dares to play any tricks, kill her first." ” Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Maybe you don't need me to do it." ” At this time, Wu Jingshan came over, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, Wu Jingshan cried out bitterly: "Oh, Lord Hu, there was a sudden fog today, and it seems that the crossing of the river is going to be postponed." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What does Wen Boyuan say?"
Wu Jingshan pulled Hu Xiaotian aside and said with a bitter face: "Why did the princess agree to his proposal this time and let those two hundred warriors join our team?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I was punished by the princess for saying one more sentence yesterday, and I don't dare to mention this matter anyway."
Lord Wu, since we can't stop it, we can only let it go, but the court must notify in advance, Wen Boyuan is good at asserting ideas and acting arbitrarily, if something happens in the future, the responsibility will be borne by himself, and it has nothing to do with us. ” Wu Jingshan sighed and said: "If you say that, if something really happens, we are afraid that it will be difficult to get out of it."
He shook his head and said in a low voice: "I will immediately send someone to the capital to report this matter, and I have to make it clear first." ” Xiong Anmin's father and son also came to the camp to see them off at this time, and after the two met Wu Jingshan and Hu Xiaotian, Xiong Anmin said: "Two adults, there was a sudden fog last night, and I am afraid that the fog will not subside until the morning." ” Wu Jingshan said: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and it's not too late to wait until the fog clears."
As soon as his words fell, the neighing of horses sounded outside, but it was Wen Boyuan who led all the warriors under his command to escort the princess.
After a short rest in Cangmu County, the team escorting the princess to Yongdu was readjusted, the biggest change was that the Tang brothers were abandoned from the camp, of course, some of the horsemen who were responsible for driving the carriage and horses were also left, although there were also many warriors on Wen Boyuan's side who were injured and could not accompany him, but this time Zhao Wusheng brought two hundred warriors to supplement the lack of personnel, and it can be said that the strength under Wen Boyuan's command is better than in the past.
And Hu Xiaotian's newly developed strength and established prestige in the team have been challenged like never before.
Wen Boyuan's face was filled with regained confidence, through this adjustment of Kuraki City, he had successfully reversed the situation and regained control of the team, not only that, Hu Xiaotian's face-to-face slander finally aroused Princess Anping's disgust, and the balance in her heart was no longer completely biased towards Hu Xiaotian's side as in the past.
Wen Boyuan saw Hu Xiaotian, glanced at him contemptuously, and immediately turned his face to the side, just as if he didn't see this guy, he put on a posture of never getting along.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, cut you to be more majestic for a while, and when you arrived in Yongjiang, Lao Tzu fed you to Wang Ba.
Wen Boyuan arched his hand to Wu Jingshan: "Lord Wu is so early, I thought that adults were old and needed to sleep a little longer." ” Wu Jingshanyan couldn't hear that he was mocking his old age, and coughed dryly: "It's not that I have to cross the river early this morning, so I got up in advance to prepare, but after I got up, I found that there was fog everywhere, I heard that the fog on the river was deep, and it seems that we can only set off after the fog dissipates." ” Wen Boyuan said: "The weather by the river has always been like this, although there is fog, but it will not last long, I asked the local guide, about an hour later, the fog will dissipate." ” Wu Jingshan nodded and said, "Then wait for an hour before leaving." ” Wen Boyuan shook his head and said: "According to our established plan, we have already crossed the Yongjiang River at noon, we can have lunch on the other side, and there is no point in delaying time here." ” Wu Jingshan looked at Hu Xiaotian and wanted to ask for his opinion, but saw Hu Xiaotian whispering something to Xiong Tianba not far away, as if he was out of the matter, and didn't pay attention to the conversation between him and Wen Boyuan at all, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Master Hu, what do you think?"
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess has already said, let us each do our part, I am responsible for internal supplies, and the rest of the affairs are all decided by the two adults." ” Wu Jingshan couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, why did this guy suddenly change his temper Yesterday he encouraged himself to be wary of Wen Boyuan, but today he wants to get out of the matter, boy, don't bring such a play, you are tantamount to pushing me out.
Wen Boyuan said: "If the two adults have no objection, let's set off, wait until we get to the Qinglong Bay Wharf, and then set a time to leave according to the situation." ” Wu Jingshan also had some emotions in his heart because of Hu Xiaotian's performance just now, you don't ask, I don't care about this old man, so he nodded and said: "Lord Hu is right, General Wen is still in charge of the things on the itinerary." ” The group marched towards the Qinglongwan Wharf in the thick fog, in addition to the more than 700 people who sent off the family, Xiong Anmin and his son also led more than 100 soldiers from Cangmu City to guide them, after leaving the north gate of Cangmu City, the fog obviously dissipated a lot, plus there was a local garrison to guide the way, and the speed of the march was naturally not affected.
Hu Xiaotian rode Xiao Ash to guard the princess's car, Zhou Mo walked with him, and said to Hu Xiaotian with a sound transmission: "I didn't find anything unusual about Zijuan. ” Hu Xiaotian glanced at the car and said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on her, there is definitely something wrong with this woman." ” The eastern sky began to turn a little red, the morning sun was fighting hard against the dense fog that covered the sky, although the color between heaven and earth was still hazy, but it was much more transparent than in the early morning, Wu Jingshan opened the curtain, poked his head out of the car window, and saw the guards on both sides marching in a neat queue.
He tried his best to look around, and saw Wen Boyuan's hazy figure marching at the front of the line.
For some reason, Wu Jingshan's heart was always a little apprehensive, he beckoned and called Wu Kui to his side.
Wu Kui bowed down and said with a smiling face: "What do you command?"
Wu Jingshan said in a low voice: "How long will it take to get to Qinglong Bay?"
