Taking a deep breath, King Rui took a careful look at his wife in his arms. How old was she? She was only sixteen this year, and she was about to be forced to bear the burden of destiny by these people! She
How much pressure must you be feeling in your heart?
He reached out and brushed away a piece of broken hair from Su Xiyue's face, and murmured, "Don't be afraid! Xixi, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
The person in his arms snorted and rubbed his face in his arms. There seemed to be a smile on his face, and he slept soundly.
Early the next morning, everything was ready. According to King Rui's instructions, they were divided into two roads. One way, they took the official road back to Beijing in the name of King Rui and Princess Rui. Along the way, they were escorted by the royal guards.
An ordinary carriage disguised itself as a caravan and took a small road instead.
The sun is a bit warm, and it shines on people's bodies, making them want to stretch, yawn or something.
A very ordinary-looking carriage was driving on a slightly bumpy road. Bai Hu and others pretended to be the escort boys of the caravan, and Mianye, no longer hiding in the dark, pretended to be the coachman, and Rui
Wang and Su Xiyue were in the same carriage.
Because they were traveling in secret, Su Xiyue only brought good times and beautiful scenery with her, while Aunt Qing and other staff followed the palace's motorcade back to Beijing.
The carriage looks ordinary from the outside, but it is extremely luxurious inside, even compared to the carriage the two of them rode in before!
There is a short couch with warm pillows, brocade quilt and fur, and a small incense burner in the car. Wisps of green smoke are slowly blowing out. The aromatic mist surrounds the car, and the atmosphere is quiet.
Su Xiyue was leaning on King Rui, reading quietly. There were occasional bumps, but this did not affect Su Xiyue's mood while reading. On the contrary, King Rui was a little unhappy, with a stern face.
Occasionally, a hint of anger flashes across his face!
In fact, An Ye has tried his best to drive the carriage as smoothly as possible. But after all, this is just a folk trail, not an official road. It is naturally impossible to keep it as smooth and smooth as before!
"The carriage is a little bumpy. You'd better stop looking at it, otherwise it could damage your eyes." King Rui advised.
"No! Being idle is idle anyway, it would be better to do this, it would be easier to pass the time."
After a while, the carriage seemed to be bumping a little more violently. Prince Rui couldn't help but snatch the book from Su Xiyue's hand and threw the book on the shelf.
"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go to Hehe. Xixi, have you ever thought about wearing men's clothes?"
"It doesn't matter. It's all up to you."
"The folk customs of Hehe are open and open, unlike our Daqing. Women there can go out on the streets at will, whether they are girls or married women. Moreover, the folk customs of Hehe are strong and strong. If a girl takes a fancy to
The young master of a certain family can come forward and express his feelings without being laughed at. On the contrary, the same is true for men. Xixi, remember, never show your true face in front of Hehe, otherwise, I am afraid it will cause countless troubles
!”
Su Xiyue nodded, "This is natural. Although we are going to Hehe, we are from Daqing. Besides, your handsome face will cause you so much trouble! What if you are attacked again?
I recognized you as King Rui of Daqing, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I have prepared a mask. I will naturally wear it all the time in front of others. As for you, don't use any disguise skills. It's not good for your skin, so just wear a curtain hat."
"Okay. Where should we go in Hehe?"
"Wu Yazi said that we are going to the ancient city called Yaxi in the far east of Hehe."
"The ancient city of Asia?"
"Well, what? Have you ever heard of it?"
Su Xiyue shook her head, "The easternmost one, does that mean it's far away from the illustrious capital? We shouldn't encounter Moxihua City?"
"The illustrious capital city is in the northwest, which is indeed far away from the city of Yaxi we are going to. However, I heard that the wind and sand there are very strong, and it is not a good place. Day after day, year after year, that ancient city has been growing for hundreds of years.
It was once prosperous before, but now, there are only a few villages left!"
"Prosperity a hundred years ago?" Su Xiyue couldn't imagine it, but after just a hundred years, a prosperous ancient city would be reduced to a few villages.
"It is said that a hundred years ago, the ancient city of Yaxi was at its most prosperous. But later, for some unknown reason, people in the ancient city of Yaxi suddenly began to suffer from strange diseases. People began to die one after another. So, the local people,
People who died, people moved, and most of those who stayed were people who knew witchcraft. Therefore, the ancient city of Yaxi was also called the Witch City by the Hehe people."
"Wicheng?" Su Xiyue was a little surprised, "The name sounds so scary."
"Don't be afraid! It's just a name." King Rui patted her shoulder to reassure her.
"Have you been to Wu City?" Su Xiyue looked at him.
King Rui nodded, with a faint smile on his lips, "Been there. It happened a long time ago."
"Isn't it very dark there now?"
"Why?" King Rui didn't understand why Su Xiyue thought Witch City was dark.
Su Xiyue smiled awkwardly. In fact, in her heart, she had always believed that people or things related to the word witch should be dark and evil! But now, when she thought about it,
My master is also a wizard, so I feel a little weird in my heart.
After getting off the carriage, Liangchen and Meimei came to help Su Xiyue. Prince Rui was invited to the front by Liu Ruyi to talk. Su Xiyue's mind suddenly flashed some shocking scenes again. For a moment,
He was actually a little stunned.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Sensing something wrong with her, Liangchen and Meifeng were a little worried.
"Nothing. Just stand here for a while. I want to get some air." Su Xiyue did not rush into the inn, but stood there, looking at an open window on the second floor of the inn with some disbelief.
He glanced at it, and then moved his gaze to Wu Yazi not far away.
Soon, the next scene shocked everyone!
The wooden stick that originally supported the window on the second floor suddenly fell down and hit Wu Yazi squarely on his right shoulder!
Wu Yazi didn't take it seriously. He just raised his head and glanced at the window on the second floor. Soon the waiter came out to apologize and specifically asked them to add extra food to the group in the evening!
When Su Xiyue and An Ye saw this scene, they were both speechless at the same time!
How can it be?
Su Xiyue directly pulled Wu Yazi into her room, not caring about Prince Rui's expression that was as cold as ice.
