Chapter 110 On the road

It was nearly noon, Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo took a carriage together, driven by a driver, and drove out of Langya Pass.

In the slightly shaking carriage, Shen Yuexi sat across from him, staring at Xiao Zhuo who was sitting upright, trying to detect any uneasiness or nervousness from his expression or posture.

She couldn't figure out how Xiao Zhuo could stay calm in the face of danger when everyone was so nervous.

Before leaving, everyone in the camp had a loud quarrel.

Meng Yue said that the prince of Xiliang openly threatened, and the lord must take him there. If that Mei Pu had any evil intentions, he was willing to protect the lord with his own body, fight to the death, and protect the lord and his wife from escaping the military camp.

Needless to say, even Shen Yuexi felt that this method was not feasible. Firstly, they didn't let him go. Secondly, Meng Yue himself was injured, and he probably wouldn't be able to jump a few times in their camp.

Xiao Zhuo also shook his head in disagreement.

Qiu Liming was worried that the prince of Xiliang had already prepared swordsmen and axemen outside the tent. When the lord left, Mei Pu threw a cup as a signal. Five hundred swordsmen and axemen swarmed up. Even ten Mengyue and he could not protect the lord. It was better to turn against the guests. , invite the other party to be a guest here.

Shen Yuexi felt that this method was feasible, but Xiao Zhuo shook his head again to express his disagreement.

Song Zhen walked back and forth dozens of times in the tent. After thinking for a long time, he decided that the safest strategy was to sneak away with 500 sergeants before noon.

Many horses of the Xirong Army were captured in previous battles. Everyone can escape on horseback. When the Xiliang Army finds out, it will be too late to pursue them. Besides, the Xiliang Army is not like the foreigners like Xirong. They will not embarrass the villagers of Xiaogang Village.

Shen Yuexi felt that the military advisor was the military advisor, and this was a good idea. Xiao Zhuo had previously defended Langya Pass to protect the villagers in Xiaogang Village. Now there is no danger in Xiaogang Village. A man can bend and stretch, so there is no shame in escaping.

Xiao Zhuo still disagreed.

"It's enough for Yue Xi and I to go, you stay here, don't worry." He threw these words lightly and pulled Shen Yuexi out of the handsome tent.

Everyone was stunned.

Not only did Xiao Zhuo keep his sword at home, but he also kept the chain armor made by Shen Yuexi. He only wore a light white robe.

Shen Yuexi was not as calm as Xiao Zhuo, she was very nervous.

After Mrs. Li narrated everything about Ma Pu and her, she already understood everything. She didn't want to go, but Xiao Zhuo decided to go, so she followed without saying a word.

Xiao Zhuo is her protector, and has proven it many times. Escape from the rainy night, kill the tiger in Daliang Village, duel with Xiao Beiheng, five hundred against ten thousand... No matter what difficulties she faces, as long as Xiao Zhuo is by her side, the danger can be averted.

This is the most powerful man she has ever seen. Not only is his strength extremely high, but he is also victorious in every battle and has no plan left. Sometimes she even has the illusion that even if she follows Xiao Zhuo and faces thousands of troops, she will still be able to defeat him. Everyone thought it would be safe.

This kind of mentality is not only hers, but also the villagers of Xiaogang Village. Even if Xirong's 10,000-strong army came, and Xiao Zhuo only had 500 people here, everyone just believed in their Mr. Pei, and the outcome was indeed a near miss. .

Maybe this is the powerful charm that a prince should have.

The only thing that puzzled her was how Xiao Zhuo managed not to be nervous in the face of danger. In her opinion, fear and nervousness were an emotion, and people could not hide this emotion. Just like now, the feeling in her heart The tension is lingering.

She believed that as long as she paid close attention, she would be able to see something from the clues on Xiao Zhuo's expression. So from the moment she got on the carriage, she kept staring at Xiao Zhuo until his smooth white jade cheeks turned red.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at her, lowered his eyes, and fell into meditation like an eminent monk.

Shen Yuexi would not fulfill his wish and stretched out a hand to touch his chest. Xiao Zhuo moved slightly, raised his eyes and said, "Yuexi, what are you doing?"

"Want to see if you're human?"

"Of course I am a human being." Xiao Zhuo looked helpless, "Why do you have such strange thoughts?"

Shen Yuexi felt that she couldn't feel it clearly with her hands, so she simply leaned forward, put her ear directly on Xiao Zhuo's chest, and said, "If it's a real person, we are going to the Xiliang camp, why aren't you afraid at all?"

There was something hard touching her ear. She changed her position and pressed it against it.

It was the jade pendant that Xiao Zhuo carried with him. When the two of them escaped, Xiao Zhuo had wanted to pawn the jade pendant for money. Fortunately, she exchanged the tiger skin for silver, so she kept the jade pendant. She specially used a red silk woven string. Hanging close to his chest.

Xiao Zhuo's chest rose and fell, and the clear and powerful heartbeat reached her ears through her clothes.

"I am the prince, a role model for all people in the world."

Shen Yuexi raised her head and stopped talking.

She could understand what Xiao Zhuo meant. This was something she had been unwilling to discuss with Xiao Zhuo. She didn't want Xiao Zhuo to think of these unpleasant memories.

"I did not use witchcraft to frame my father. I am innocent." Xiao Zhuo reached out and touched the top of her head. "Whether I am deposed or not, I am still the Crown Prince of Dayan. One day, I will restore my original identity." status, return to the capital in a dignified manner."

"Then...why don't you write a letter to the emperor?" Since Xiao Zhuo is willing to talk about these things, she can discuss them in detail.

From what she knew about history, people who had been wronged often wrote letters to redress their grievances. Some failed, some succeeded, but it was at least worth a try.

"I did plan this way. After I found out that he wanted to kill me, I gave up the idea." Xiao Zhuo moved his hands to her shoulders and held her in his arms. "I am the only one who can talk to him on an equal footing." Only when he is in the right position can he listen."

"I understand, husband."

Shen Yuexi understood everything at once.

Xiao Zhuo came to the outside world not just to avoid pursuit. He wanted to use this as an opportunity to develop his own strength.

If he thinks he is wronged and goes to see Emperor Yongde at all costs, he will have no choice but to be killed. The only way to protect himself is to have military power that even the emperor cannot despise. When the other party cannot manipulate him at will, he can naturally talk to him.

Going to see the Prince of Xiliang was an important step for Xiao Zhuo.

The 500 sergeants on hand obviously have little weight to speak of. The Xiliang King's military strength is what Xiao Zhuo needs to borrow.

He previously fought with 500 sergeants against 10,000 Xirong troops, fighting to the death. This was to prove his strength and build up his reputation. If he ran away, not only would the local people lose confidence in him, but the King of Xiliang would also feel that he had no strength. thereby despising him.

Now Xiao Zhuo has the capital to negotiate with others.

"Lord, madam, we are here." The coachman's voice sounded outside.

"We'll talk about this later," Xiao Zhuo opened the car door and got out of the car first, then stood by the door and stretched out his arms: "Yue Xi."

Shen Yuexi was about to get up, but felt something was wrong, so she quickly picked up the mirror next to her and took another look at herself to see if there was anything inappropriate.

Before, she wore men's clothes for the convenience of fighting. Now that she was going to the Xiliang Army Camp to see Maple, she couldn't be too casual. She specially changed into a blue dress.

She supported Xiao Zhuo's arm and got out of the car, then held Xiao Zhuo's arm.

It was not that she wanted to show affection on such an occasion, but the scene in front of her made her legs weak.

At the open gate of the camp, flags were fluttering and drums were beating. Two rows of sturdy men stood on both sides with their eyebrows raised and their murderous long knives. They were as scary as two rows of executioners.

At the end of the line of sight, at the door of the commander's tent, a general with a silver helmet stood there, holding on to the hilt of his sword. The strong wind lifted the blood-red cloak behind him off the ground.

He wore a black mask with green faces and fangs, making him look more like a life-seeking evil ghost.
