Xia Jing glanced at the car curtain and was so frightened that Anu tightened the car curtain, leaving only her head exposed.
When King Qian in the car heard Xia Jing's voice, he sat up and no longer looked like he was dying just now. His fat body flexibly got down from the bed and waved his hand to the maid to step aside.
Seeing King Qian's nervous expression, the maid lowered her head and retreated to the farthest corner from King Qian without saying a word, becoming invisible.
Anu calmly stood in front of Xia Jing and smiled: "Your Majesty, it was a bumpy journey and I just fell asleep."
Xia Jing nodded clearly: "Since he is sleeping, I won't disturb him and let him continue sleeping."
After saying that, when he turned around, a whip hit the wall of Wang Jia's car.
With a 'pop' sound, Anu's body behind the car curtain shivered, and King Qian sitting inside was also inevitably startled.
I secretly cursed myself for being blind to find such a dominatrix!
At this time, Zeng Yan and the captain of the guard got up in a hurry.
Zeng Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked: "Princess, are you looking for an old slave?"
Xia Jing looked at him in confusion and asked, "What are you busy with?"
There was a strong wind blowing outside, it was cloudy and very cool.
"Back to the princess, the old slave is preparing to arrange for people to unload the carriage, set up camp, and then bury the pot to make rice." Zeng Yan stood up straight and felt the coolness in the wind.
Xia Jing glanced at Wang Jia beside her and said, "No need to unload the carriage, arrange to repack and start again."
Zeng Yan glanced at the captain of the guard and smiled knowingly: "Is the princess afraid that it will rain tonight and the supplies on the carriage will get wet?"
"Well, we're not far from Yancheng here. Let's hold on and drive all night to reach Yancheng before it rains." Xia Jing frowned slightly, hoping that the rain wouldn't fall so soon.
"But, Your Majesty," the captain of the guard wanted to say, Your Majesty is so tired that his body is about to fall apart.
Xia Jing looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "The prince is asleep. Maybe when he wakes up, we will have arrived in Yancheng."
King Qian, who was sitting upright inside the king's palace, said: "."
Chief of Guard: "."
In fact, he also wanted to rush to Yancheng before it rained, so he had better not say anything to defend the prince. Anyway, the prince could not defeat the princess in the end.
A smile flashed in Zeng Yan's eyes, "The old slave will let them prepare to continue on their way."
Not long after, the team started moving again, and the speed obviously sped up.
When night fell, the team lit up torches, and with the night wind hunting, it looked like a fire dragon from a distance.
The fire dragon licks its tongue like a ferocious beast with its teeth and claws. If you are not careful, you may be afraid that the tongue of fire will ignite your supplies or hair.
Everyone ate dry food when they were hungry, and drank water when they were choked. As the wind became stronger and stronger, everyone knew that the wind was blowing fast and the rain was coming, which meant it was about to rain.
At midnight, Xia Jing couldn't stay in the carriage anymore. She got on the horse and felt the moisture in the air. A hint of urgency appeared on her usually calm face.
"Concubine, look, that's Yancheng."
Just when Xia Jing couldn't bear it any longer and was about to send an order for everyone to camp on the spot, Li Chengmu's excited voice rang out.
He pointed to the fire at the foot of the mountain ahead and said, "I heard that Yancheng is located at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. It's true!"
Xia Jing looked at the fire at the foot of the mountain and became energetic: "Everyone, pay attention to your steps, hold the carriage steady, and don't rush down the road dam. Zeng Yan, you are in charge of the carriage carrying the goods. The captain of the guard asked the guards to take care of the entire team, and then sent
The two of us rode horses and rushed to the city gate first, and communicated with the officers and soldiers guarding the city first, so that we can enter the city when we arrive. Let's try to find an inn and stay before the rain falls."
"Yes, Princess, we will make arrangements right away!" The guard chief and Zeng Yan agreed, turned around and got busy.
The destination is in front of us, and everyone's exhausted bodies feel like they have been given a shot of chicken blood, and the lost strength has returned.
Especially those slaves in the team who did not have carriages, their legs were like lead, but now they felt energetic again.
When they arrived in the city, they would have hot meals and soup to eat, and there would also be bunks for them to lie down and rest on, which was a hundred times better than in the wilderness.
come on!
Just bite the bullet and get there!
The magistrate of Yancheng County was lying on his concubine's belly and was so frightened that he rolled off the bed when he heard the housekeeper coming to report.
He hurriedly put on his dirty clothes and opened the door, "What did you say? King Qian is here? Where is he? Take me to greet him quickly!"
With that said, he rushed out regardless.
The housekeeper knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly followed him with a lantern, "My lord, my lord, you go to the front yard to change into your official robe first. King Qian's team will not arrive until a while, and there is still time. Don't rush! Slow down."
Come on, don’t fall!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate staggered and fell to the ground as if he had kicked something.
"hiss!"
The housekeeper patted his beak and quickly stepped forward to help him, "Sir, are you okay?"
The county magistrate pushed him away and said, "Hey! I scratched some skin on my hands. It's okay. Let's go to the front yard quickly."
After that, the magistrate got up and walked quickly to the front yard.
The housekeeper did not dare to neglect this time and took a step forward to raise the lantern to the magistrate's side to light the way for him.
By the time the county government officials, large and small, arrived at the city gate, the team from Prince Qian's Mansion was only a few miles away from the city gate.
The county magistrate was obviously relieved, but fortunately he arrived in time.
He turned back and asked the housekeeper: "Has the inn for temporary accommodation of guests been cleared?"
The housekeeper nodded: "Before we go out, the old slave has already asked the head catcher to make arrangements."
While the two were talking, the team at the front was approaching. The county magistrate excitedly adjusted his official robes and official hat, preparing to welcome King Qian.
"Who is in front of you? Don't block the way. Get out of the way quickly. The team is about to enter the city!"
From afar, the captain of the guard noticed a group of people standing in front of the city gate blocking the way. Seeing that they didn't know how to get out of the way when they saw the team rushing up, he became anxious and waved his whip: "Get out of the way!"
The two guards who came to report the news earlier were also anxious, "My Lord County Magistrate, please take them and get out of the way quickly, the prince is in a hurry to enter the city!"
"ah?"
The county magistrate blinked blankly. He felt raindrops hitting his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it. He instantly came back to his senses and knew why King Qian was in a hurry to enter the city.
But before he had time to get out of the way, the whip of the captain of the guard roared towards him. He was so frightened that he instinctively jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the whip swung by the captain of the guard.
The others reacted quite quickly and almost all moved out of the way when the whip was swung.
The front group passed the city gate smoothly, and the rear group followed closely behind, entering the city in an orderly manner.
The county magistrate clutched his chest with lingering fear and lowered his voice to the housekeeper beside him: "The way King Qian behaves is really... If you don't know better, you would think that bandits are attacking the city!"
"Hush!" the butler gestured to silence, "Sir, be careful what you say!"
As soon as all the troops from Prince Qian's Mansion entered the city gate, heavy raindrops began to fall.
"Sir, the rain has fallen, let's go into the city quickly!" the housekeeper urged.
Other officials and minor officials also got into their carriages.
The rain came quickly and quickly. It was barely half a stick of incense before the raindrops turned into a torrential downpour.
Yancheng shrouded in the night was once again covered with a layer of rain and fog.
