He ignored Xiao Yu, who had a mocking look on his face, and urged his mount to come to the checkpoint with Gao Kan. When he saw the long crowd of people outside the Juma lying on the road, he frowned and said to Gao Kan: "Someone is here.
Wait, you can bring a few soldiers to bring the princess's chariot over."
Nowadays, there are a lot of rumors about his affair with Princess Changle. If he makes such a grand appearance and gives Princess Changle preferential treatment and allows her to jump in line to pass the checkpoint, the rumors will inevitably become more and more intense.
At this moment, I was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, so I didn’t worry about being recognized...
"Here."
Gao Kan naturally knew the importance, so he led two soldiers, took off the horizontal sword from his waist, carried the sheath in his hand, walked to the checkpoint, and shouted to the people lining up: "Back off, make way!
"
The crowd was confused, but when they saw Gao Kan coming forward with a fierce look, waving the horizontal knife left and right in his hand, and he would be hit if he was not careful, there was a panic in the panic, and they quickly retreated to both sides of the road.
Make a way in the middle.
Gao Kan walked to Princess Changle's car, bowed and said: "The final general will escort His Highness through the checkpoint."
When the crowd around them saw it, they suddenly started to make a lot of noise.
"Why can this carriage leave first?"
"That's right, you just said that everyone should be treated equally, but you have broken your words in such a short time. Isn't it too much?"
"Hey! I am a member of the royal family and a noble person from Tianhuang. Why don't you let me go first?"
…
In the carriage, Princess Changle couldn't help frowning as she listened to the commotion around her.
She didn't want to get privileges as a powerful person, so she could feel more comfortable by not looking special when all the common people and merchants were queuing up. The so-called powerful or aristocratic, it should be a kind of superiority and nobility in the bones.
, rather than competing for profits with a group of common people.
Especially when she learned that it was Youtun Guardsmen who set up a jam here, she didn't want to be too ostentatious...
As a result, I didn't wait long before I heard the hustle and bustle around me. The maid beside me lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. She said in surprise: "Your Highness, this is General Gao of the Youtun Guard!"
While he was talking, Gao Kan had already arrived in front of the car and saluted: "According to the commander-in-chief's order, please get out of the car and drive through the traffic jam first. I don't dare to delay your highness to go into the mountain to burn incense and pray for your majesty."
When the noisy crowd around heard this, they quickly shut up.
The imperial power is supreme. Princess Changle is rushing to Mount Zhongnan to pray for His Majesty, so she should pass the checkpoint first. Anyone who dares to be dissatisfied would be committing a crime of great disrespect. Of course, His Majesty Li Er has always been broad-minded, and would not go to the border for such a small thing.
They are ordinary people who are competing with each other, but they all sincerely support His Majesty Li Er, so how can they keep making endless noises about this matter?
Besides, everyone has heard about the affair between Princess Changle and Fang Jun. Since this place is Fang Jun’s Youtun Guard Station, and Princess Changle happens to be passing by, how can she not get the preferential treatment of passing through the card first?
Of course His Majesty Li Er will not compete with ordinary people like them, but Fang Er is uncertain. If he offends his confidante and gets angry...
They quickly stepped aside obediently, and both of them shut their mouths, not daring to say even a single sarcastic word.
In the carriage, Princess Changle frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed. This Fang Jun was just fooling around. The scandal between the two of them was getting more and more popular at the moment, but they still wanted to give herself preferential treatment in front of so many people. Wouldn't it make it more obvious that those scandals were unreasonable?
Is it groundless?
But now that the matter was over, he could only nod slightly and wink at the maid next to him.
The maid quickly raised the curtain of the car and said to Gao outside: "Your Highness has thanked General Gao for his accommodation, and asked the general to lead the way."
I only thanked Gao Kan and did not mention Fang Jun at all...
Gao Kan understood the idea and responded to the order: "I will obey the order in the end!"
The carriage with a group of soldiers guarding Princess Changle moved forward slowly and passed the checkpoint. After walking a few steps further, the carriage slowly stopped.
Princess Changle was wondering when she heard someone outside the carriage curtain saying, "Wei Chen has met Your Highness."
My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly raised my hand to lift the curtain on my side of the car. I saw a man outside the car window wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He was riding a horse standing by the roadside under the drizzle of light rain. After a closer look, he saw that it was the house.
hansome.
Then he said with some displeasure: "Everyone is waiting in line to pass the card. Why does the Duke of Yue need to give me preferential treatment and make people talk?"
Fang Jun pushed up his bamboo hat, showed a bright smile, and asked with a smile: "What do you mean by making people talk?"
Princess Changle looked slightly stunned and lowered her eyes: "You know why you ask."
"Ah!"
Fang Jun chuckled lightly, looked at Princess Changle's beautiful face, and said slowly: "If someone else has their mouth, what do they want to say, especially if you and I can control it? Besides, Wei Chen and His Highness are so beautiful.
It can be said that we are friends of gentlemen, so why worry about others making trouble and making things up out of nothing? Unless, Your Highness, you feel guilty, so you are eager to block everyone's mouth and cover up others' ears and eyes."
"Who feels guilty?"
Princess Changle's face was slightly red and she denied it flatly: "Don't talk nonsense here. I am in a hurry to go to the Taoist temple to pray for my father, so I won't delay the official duties of the Yue Kingdom. I will leave now."
After saying that, he lowered the car curtain, his face was almost red, he fanned his face with his bare hands, and secretly gritted his teeth, annoyed by Fang Jun's indiscriminate words.
Last time in the Taoist temple, although the two of them had a conversation that was close to confessing their feelings, which was almost the same as a confession, they stuck to the bottom line and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
At the moment, it seems that this guy is extremely thick-faced and is becoming more and more unscrupulous in front of me...
Outside the carriage, Fang Jun smiled unabated and said loudly: "The spring rain is wet and cold. We have been here for most of the day, and we are already cold, hungry, and mentally weak. Moreover, the road is slippery on rainy days, so it takes several passes to get to Zhongnan Mountain.
It’s a dangerous journey, what do you think, Your Highness, if you don’t let me accompany you and get a meal to satisfy your hunger?”
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows, is she going even further?
He turned around and glanced at the maid next to him. The little maid had already watched her nose and nose, turning a deaf ear to everything. She gritted her teeth, lifted the car curtain again, leaned towards the car window and looked back and forth, then glared at Fang Jun and said angrily.
: "Can you please keep your voice down? What if others hear me and don't know what to say?"
Fang Jun also rode forward and said with a smile: "Then your highness agreed?"
Princess Changle had no way to deal with him, so she had to say: "It's not impossible, but you are riding your own horse this way, and you must not get on the carriage."
She knew that this man was shameless, and she would not give up the opportunity to get along with him in private today. If she rejected him as a princess... this guy would not be afraid at all.
It seemed that her status as a princess was no deterrent in front of him, and she was eaten to death...
Fang Jun suddenly beamed with joy: "I will obey His Majesty's decree!"
Then he turned back and ordered to Gao Kan, who was standing in the distance: "Carefully check the passing pedestrians and vehicles. If there are any sharp weapons or people with suspicious identities, immediately capture them and escort them to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to ensure the safety of the circle.
Don’t let anyone destroy it!”
"Here!"
Gao Kan bowed and accepted the order.
Fang Jun then led his troops, surrounded Princess Changle's carriage, and walked slowly southward along the official road, straight into Zhongnan Mountain.
…
The convoy was walking on the mountain road. The clouds were low, the sky was dark, and the rain was falling continuously, washing the majestic and winding Zhongnan Mountains spotlessly. The mountains were crisscrossed with ravines, and trees that had not sprouted new leaves stood on the slopes.
Above, it is extremely cold and desolate.
Princess Changle was sitting in the swaying carriage. From time to time she looked outside through the cracks in the swaying curtains. She saw Fang Jun riding beside the carriage. Raindrops fell on her raincoat, and then strands gathered into a
It looks very cold.
He pursed his lips and wanted to let this guy get in the car to warm him up, but thinking about this guy's virtue, he was afraid that he would do something too out of line to annoy others, so he had to harden his heart and give up.
After thinking about it, he told the maid beside him: "Let the coachman go faster."
The maid was slightly stunned and whispered: "Your Highness, the mountain road is difficult to travel. If you go too fast, it will be bumpy..."
Princess Changle said: "What's the big deal if it's bumpy? Go and send the message quickly."
"Here!"
The maid quickly got up, opened a small window in the front of the carriage, and said to the coachman on the shaft outside: "Your Highness has an order to speed up a little."
"Here."
The coachman responded, whipped the horse, and the strong horse slowly increased its speed.
The maid came back and sat huddled in the corner, thinking to herself: Your Highness is worried that Duke Yue will be exposed to the rain for too long, so he must reach the Taoist temple as soon as possible even if he endures the bumps and bumps...
