Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
"Everyone has his own way, girl, can you let me go?" the man in black said calmly. The gagged man in black next to him whined to let him speak.
Bai Zhen plucked the boots from his mouth, "Do you have anything else to add? If not, I'm sorry I can't let you go!"
"I, I, I, I also know that if we don't succeed this time, there will be many brothers who will continue to assassinate King Huai!" The man in black looked at the man in black who had just confessed, as if blaming him for what he said.
Too much and don’t leave any for yourself.
Spring Banquet Helpless “This is basically nonsense”
Bai Zhen put her hands on the heads of the two men in black again, "Okay, I'll give you two a way to survive."
Then the two men in black became speechless and fell to the ground with all their limbs. Bai Zhen and the others were about to get on their horses and continue on their way, when they saw the two men in black leaping hard and hugging each other.
Bai Zhen thought to herself that these are really two good friends who are more in love than each other! Before she could finish her emotion, she seemed to see sparks in their chests.
"There's explosives, get down!" Bai Zhen shouted and rushed towards the two people. She opened her arms and wanted to absorb the energy quickly. However, she was still some distance away from the two people and could not fully absorb the explosives.
energy.
The two secret guards who cut off their rear were too close to the two men and were killed along with the two men in black.
Not far away, Qi'er was also blown two meters away by the missed aftermath, and the clothes on her back were burned. Her originally delicate and smooth skin was also burned into mottled wrinkles.
The moment Chunyan was hit hard, soaring vines grew behind him, protecting him and the only remaining secret guard.
"Prince!" "Qi'er!" After Bai Zhen absorbed the impact of the explosive, she hurried to Qi'er's side. Chun Yan was using the juice of some plant she had grown to help clean Qi'er's back.
The secret guard hurriedly found gauze and medicinal powder in the luggage hanging on the horse.
"It's all my fault. How can I be trustworthy with these bad guys! If it weren't for my kindness as a woman, Qi'er wouldn't have been injured and the two secret guards would have been damaged." Bai Zhen looked at Qi'er whose back was completely red.
Said sadly.
Qi'er forced a smile and said, "Sister Bai, how can you say that? If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. What's the big deal if I just have some skin injuries now? In fact, I am the one who has caused you trouble."
Those men in black came after me. Maybe being born into the royal family is the original sin. I am not stupid, they want me to die immediately. Although I don't care about the throne, I just want to eat and sleep with the people I like every day.
, it’s good to be happy and free. But it’s so difficult.”
"Nothing is a drag. We are destined to fight with many people, and there will be many such things in the future.
I will remember this time and will never be soft-hearted towards the enemy again." Chun Yan took the powder and gauze from the secret guard, helped Qier bandage, and then said to the secret guard, "Our horses are gone too, so we can only
It was turns to carry the prince on his back.
From now on, let’s just walk openly in Wadi Town. It will be safer if we disguise ourselves and go to crowded places.”
The secret guard immediately carried Qi'er on his back, and Bai Zhen and Chun Yan picked up the only two packages and set off on the road.
In Wadi Xiangyue City, Bai Zhen and his party checked into an inn. After entering the room, Chun Yan said to the secret guard, "Let's rest for one night. You can go to the market early tomorrow morning to buy a carriage and some sets of men's clothes. Let's get there as soon as possible."
Just leave the city and get to the capital as soon as possible."
The secret guard nodded and retreated to his room. Little did he know that a plump woman had been standing outside the door. She secretly poked a hole in the window and saw the person inside, whose eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.
That person was the woman Han Zhudan asked to seduce King Huai on the road before, but was later sold by Han Zhudan.
She was passed on to a Wadi businessman, who treated her well and provided her with all her daily expenses.
This woman happened to be staying in this inn. She overheard someone speaking Daliang dialect, and she became curious. Unexpectedly, she peeped and saw Bai Zhen and the others.
The humiliation that day was vivid in her mind. Although she hated the bullying Han Zhudan the most, she knew that she would never return to Daliang in this life and could not avenge herself.
She didn't expect to meet Prince Huai and the others today. She never thought she would have the chance to do anything to the prince before, but today there are only four of them, and they look like lost dogs. Isn't this an opportunity given to her by God to vent her anger?
The woman's husband came back. She quickly stood up and handed the tea to her husband. Then she squeezed her shoulders and chatted: "Alang, is the banditry in Wuxiang Mountain still serious? You have been walking outside all day, and we are so far away from Wuxiang Mountain.
It’s so close, the slave family is really worried here!”
The man put down the tea cup and smiled slightly, "Ziti, I know you are worried about me, why didn't you come back early?"
But don't worry, although the bandits in Wuxiang Mountain are fierce, they have friendship with me. My husband often asks Ali to pay tribute to their second boss, and they won't make it difficult for me!" After that, he named him Zi.
The woman pulled her into his arms and lifted her hands up and down.
After a while, the man fell into a deep sleep, and Naziti quietly got up, opened the bottom drawer of the dressing box, took out all the banknotes inside, and then secretly walked out of the door.
The secret guard was waiting before the horse market opened. As soon as it opened, he went in and selected the sturdiest carriage with the best-looking horses in the horse market. Just when the horse was being paid, a man who was familiar with him came over.
The horse market waiter started chatting.
"Hey, your family just bought a horse yesterday, so why are you buying it again?" said the horse market waiter.
The visitor lowered his voice and replied, "Hey, yesterday it was a horse that pulled goods. Today I bought a letter from the capital. I have a very profitable business, but I'm just afraid that someone will rob me if I get there late. My master wants to ride a fast horse."
, take a shortcut back. I was asked to buy a horse this morning."
"If you don't say that your master knows how to do business, he can know the news everywhere. But it will take us five days to go to the capital by horseback. How fast can you take a shortcut?" the waiter asked again.
"Hehehe, my master will definitely arrive in two days. Okay, I'll go back as soon as possible. I can't delay my master's affairs." As he said that, the man got on his horse and left.
The secret guard quickly stopped him and put a piece of silver into the man's hand and said, "Brother, don't worry, my old lady is seriously ill, and I have to rush back to the capital to fulfill my filial piety. Can you kindly tell me how to take this shortcut?"
The man weighed the money in his hand with a smile on his face. He quickly took out a map from his pocket and pointed to the secret guard and said, "Let's leave the city first, then go all the way east around Wuxiang Mountain, and then head towards
North, if you travel faster, you can get there in less than two days. Well, I can't delay any longer, so I say goodbye!" After that, he got on his horse and ran away.
The secret guard also took out his Wadi map, studied it carefully and found that it was indeed feasible, so he drove back to the inn.
Bai Zhen and Qi'er were in the carriage, and the secret guard was driving the carriage. Chun Yan was sitting on the shaft of the carriage with a map, studying the route told by the secret guard.
"This is indeed the shortest road, but why didn't we go this way in the original plan? Forget it, it's important to save Mr. Hou, hurry up and get on the bus." After that, he put away the map.
