After this incident, Emperor Ning was even more sincerely convinced by Abbot Wu Na. Therefore, when Abbot Wu Na suggested that Yun Shang's body still needed to recuperate and wanted to take Yun Shang to Ningguo Temple to recuperate for a period of time, Emperor Ning did not have any thoughts.
He hesitated, only asked about the estimated time of departure, and then let him go readily.
Yun Shang said goodbye to Concubine Jin that day and left with Abbot Wuna. However, this time, she didn't even take Qin Yi with her, only Qian Yin.
Yun Shang entered Ningguo Temple and left quietly through the back door. She and Qian Yin all the way to the border in disguise.
The border between Ningguo and Yelangguo is a small town called Xiyi Town. Because it is on the border between the two countries, the folk customs are relatively open. You can often see girls and boys making fun of each other on the street.
Yun Shang led the horse and found a small inn that looked relatively clean, went in, and ordered two bowls of beef noodles. Since Yun Sang arrived already after lunch time, there was no one in the store, so Yun Sang called for him.
The waiter asked for information.
"This little second brother, I came here with my brother to do business. We heard along the way that there was a war here. But I just came into the city and found that everything in the town was peaceful. What was going on?
"In order to rush on the road, Yun Shang and Qian Yin both dressed up in men's clothing, as if they were brothers.
Seeing that there was no one in the shop, the waiter simply sat down and said, "The beatings were very severe in the past few days. In those days, I didn't even dare to go out. I almost became a night man in this town."
But then Prince Jing came, Prince Jing, but this..." The waiter gave a thumbs up, "In less than half a month, the third prince of Yelang was beaten to pieces, and he withdrew his troops for five miles, Prince Jing said
, so as not to affect the normal life of our people, we set up the camp five miles away. No, you can see a large camp when you go to the west of the town."
Yun Shang smiled and patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, we brothers were always worried about being implicated before. We just wanted to take a look from a distance and run away quickly if there was really a war. But when we came, we found nothing.
thing."
The waiter said quickly, "Thanks to Prince Jing, if it had been someone else, we would have had to bow to the Yelang Kingdom in the future. I heard that Prince Jing had a fight with the Yelang Kingdom yesterday, right?
Prince Jing won. However, I heard that the third prince of Yelang Kingdom captured our Princess Huiguo. Princess Huiguo is a good person. I hope that the prince can rescue Princess Huiguo safely?"
"Princess Huiguo was arrested?" Qianyin raised her voice and glanced at Yun Shang, feeling a little incredible.
"Yes, I heard that the Third Prince Yelang asked the prince to wait after losing another battle yesterday. He said that Princess Huiguo was in his hands. If Prince Jing did not surrender, he would kill Princess Huiguo." The waiter clicked his tongue.
He smacked his lips, "It's a pity, it's a pity. Princess Huiguo heard that she was beautiful and kind-hearted, but she fell into the hands of the cruel third prince and must have been bullied."
Yun Shang frowned and said, "How could it be possible? My two brothers just came from the Imperial City. Princess Huiguo is still in the Imperial City. A few days ago, an evil star appeared in the Imperial City. Abbot Wu Na also came to the Imperial City to talk to Hui.
The princess appeared together."
"Ah?" When the waiter heard this, he felt that it must be another thing that could be shown off, so he quickly came over and asked, "Princess Huiguo is in the palace?"
Yun Shang nodded and said with great certainty, "The palace is heavily guarded. How could she be kidnapped just because she said she was kidnapped? Moreover, my two brothers rushed over quickly. If they kidnapped the princess, they would definitely not be able to do it."
Might be ahead of us."
Qianyin also agreed, "The Third Prince of Yelang must be deceiving Prince Jing and trying to get Prince Jing to surrender. Prince Jing is at the border and doesn't know what's going on in the palace. It will take a long time to send messages back and forth."
, what if the prince believes the lies of the third prince of Yelang Kingdom?"
The waiter in the shop also said worriedly, "Yes, that third prince is really too cunning."
Yun Shang quickly stood up and said, "No, I have to go to the army and tell Prince Jing not to be fooled."
"It's time to go, it's time to go. When you go out, go to the right, which is the west entrance of the town. Once you leave the town, you can see the camp where Prince Jing is camping." The waiter couldn't hide his excitement and said quickly, "The two knights will eat noodles first and then go.
Bar."
Yun Shang nodded, and when she saw the waiter bringing the noodles, she ate the noodles, and then she and Qian Yin followed the direction directed by the waiter.
"Princess, you are obviously here fine and well, why would the third prince Yelang say that you are in their hands? Doesn't he know that Prince Jing can recognize you at a glance when he has seen you, princess?" Qian Yin said worriedly.
Yun Shang smiled coldly, "There are only two possibilities for this matter. One is that the third prince Yelang asked someone to pretend to be me. Since I am pretending, I naturally have to find someone who looks like me, or simply put on a human skin mask. The other is,
The Third Prince of Yelang was also deceived. He had no idea who he was holding. After all, I grew up in Ningguo Temple and very few people had seen me. Besides, have you forgotten? Before, Ning Qian
I made a special trip to report before that Hua Jing was rescued by the third prince, and I suspect that the person in the hands of the third prince is Hua Jing."
"But why does Hua Jing pretend to be a princess?" Qian Yin was a little confused.
Yun Shang smiled coldly, "The only thing I can do is ask her."
"Stop, this is the center of the military camp. Who is coming?" Yun Shang and Qian Yin were stopped as soon as they arrived at the gate of the camp on horseback.
Yun Shang took out a token from her waist and said, "We are old friends in the imperial city. We have something urgent to ask to see the prince. Could you please inform this military master? You can hand this token to the prince, and he will naturally know."
The two soldiers guarding the door looked at each other and took a look at Yun Shang. Seeing that although she was dusty, she still had a natural nobility about her body, they did not dare to neglect her, so they took Yun Shang's token and said to her.
He ran towards the military camp.
After about half an hour, Yun Shang saw a few people walking out of the camp in the distance. The man walking at the front had a familiar figure. When he got closer, he saw that he was indeed Prince Jing.
Prince Jing also saw Yun Shang and frowned, "Why did you come here? Is this the place where you stay?" Even as he said this, he had already walked to Yun Shang's horse.
He helped Yun Shang hold the horse and walked toward the military camp.
The soldiers who followed King Jing opened their eyes wide when they saw that King Jing was actually holding the horse for this thin young master who had come from afar. Not to mention them, even Yun Shang was a little surprised, "Your Majesty.
..." Just as he was about to call him uncle, he thought that if he called like that, his identity would be exposed, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, how can you hold my horse for me? You should let me dismount."
"
Prince Jing just turned his head and glanced at Yun Shang, then walked towards the camp without saying a word. Many soldiers saw him along the way and couldn't help but follow him. Yun Shang felt a little embarrassed and didn't understand Jing.
Wang was so anxious that he had done this. He quickly jumped off his horse and walked to Prince Jing. He saw that although Prince Jing was walking, he seemed to be... in a daze?
"Your Majesty?" Yun Shang called softly.
Prince Jing said "Hmm", turned around, and saw Yun Shang's enlarged face appearing in front of him. He was stunned again, looked back at the horse, and then said, "Why did you jump off by yourself?
"But he lowered his voice and said to himself, "It turns out I'm not dreaming."
Yun Shang was a little far away and didn't hear what he was saying clearly. She could only vaguely hear something about "dreaming", and she didn't know what he was muttering, so she said, "Your Majesty, if I can sit down like that peacefully again, I will
I guess I will be looked at like a juggling monkey."
Prince Jing turned his head and looked around, only to find that there were many soldiers following behind him. He said with a cold face, "You little bastard, what are you doing wandering around all day long?"
There was a burst of laughter all around, "Your Majesty just seemed to have lost his mind. Who is this young master? Your Majesty won't introduce him to us."
"Go, go, go aside." Prince Jing frowned and said impatiently.
There was another burst of laughter all around. Yun Shang's face was slightly hot, but she also looked at Prince Jing in great surprise. The Prince Jings she had seen were all as cold as ice, but she had never seen such Prince Jing. She suddenly felt very nervous.
Fresh.
After walking for a while, he saw a tent with the word "handsome" written on it. King Jing threw the reins in his hands to the soldiers on the side and walked into the tent. Yun Shang followed Qian Yin and walked in. As soon as he stepped in,
Then I heard Prince Jing's voice ringing again, sounding a little dull, "Why are you all here? But then the third prince started clamoring again?"
Yun Shang was blocked by Prince Jing and couldn't see the scene inside, but she heard a hearty laugh and said, "No, no, I just heard the soldiers came to report that there were people in the army, so I would like you to condescend to take care of them yourself."
We brothers are curious and want to see the horse man, who is he?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she was stunned again, but she also began to understand that all the men in this military camp were men. They spoke straightforwardly, and there was no malice. Before Prince Jing could speak, he raised his voice and said, "Little brother Xiao Yun,
He is a friend of Prince Jing in the imperial city. Today, the prince is holding a horse for his younger brother just because he lost the bet and is willing to admit defeat."
Everyone in the camp heard the voice and thought it was clear. When they heard what he said, they all stretched their necks and looked behind King Jing.
Prince Jing gave a wry smile, Xiao Yun took her mother's surname and one character of her name, but she wanted to see how she could make up this lie about a bet. Thinking like this, he went to
He walked over to his position inside, and Yun Shang was exposed in front of everyone.
"Look, it turns out that he is a pampered person in the imperial city. He looks like this, with tender skin and tender flesh. He is really incomparable to those of us who have been exposed to wind and rain at the border all year round." Someone's voice rang out.
Yun Shang looked over following the voice and saw a bearded general with a strong build and an honest face.
Yun Shang smiled and glanced around the camp before he saw the only familiar face besides Prince Jing, Wang Shun, Prince Jing's personal subordinate. Wang Shun recognized Yun Shang at a glance and pointed at Yun Shang, "
Father-in-law…”
Just as he was about to shout, he saw Prince Jing's cold eyes flicking towards him. Wang Shun was excited and said quickly, "Young Master."
"This little brother hasn't said yet how the prince lost the bet and actually wanted to help the young master lead the horse. Tell us about it. We will do the same next time. Prince Jing will lead the horse himself. Just think about it.
It feels special." The bearded general from before urged.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Well, everyone has seen that I am thin and weak, so King Jing made a bet with me on whether I dared to reach the border from the imperial city within ten days with only one entourage. If
If I lose, the next time he returns to the Imperial City, I will have to help him find the most famous oiran in the Imperial City, Miss Qianqian, to sleep with him for a night. If I win, he will personally give me the gift when I enter the camp.
I will lead the horse and let me enjoy the scenery."
"Hahahahaha..." Everyone roared with laughter, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we thought you were not a womanizer. It turns out that you have fallen in love with the oiran girl in the imperial city. Don't tell me, that girl Qianqian, I
But I have heard many people talk about it, and it will definitely captivate the country."
Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, but he smiled helplessly, his eyes paused on Yun Shang, and he couldn't help but bring up a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he pretended to be fierce and said, "You guys, if you are like this during the war,
It’s good to be active, and as soon as you hear that you can laugh at my jokes, you’ll run like a rabbit.”
However, a few people were not afraid at all and started to ask again, "Little brother, how can you tempt Miss Qianqian from the capital and still sell yourself to her? Isn't Miss Qianqian only a performer?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled bitterly and said, "I couldn't do it, so I was afraid of losing, so I had to run desperately to the border. No, this doesn't mean I won."
Those people laughed even more happily, "My lord, if you like that woman, all you need to do is raise your arms and my subordinates will happily tie up the girl and send her to the prince's bed."
When Prince Jing heard this, he frowned and felt more and more that the topic seemed to be developing in some color-laden direction. Seeing that Yun Shang's smile was a little stiff, he quickly issued an order to expel the guests. Everyone laughed again before they dispersed.
.
Yun Shang stood there, not knowing what to do, until she heard Prince Jing's voice, "Come here and sit on this chair for a while. I heard someone said that you were still in the imperial city during the winter solstice to worship heaven, so fast.
It’s right here, and I thought I was wrong.”
Yun Shang thought that Prince Jing was going to question Concubine Shu, so she thought about her excuses in her mind, walked to a chair and sat down.
"Why did you suddenly remember to come here when you weren't staying in the imperial city?" Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yun Shang thought for a while and then said, "I heard that Hua Jing was taken away by the third prince Yelang."
"Oh? You have a very sharp nose. You already know everything here. Have you been sending people to look for Hua Jing? I heard that someone was chasing Hua Jing the day she was arrested? That was
Your people?" After the generals left, Prince Jing relaxed and leaned lazily on his chair. He picked up some cold tea on the table, but kept his eyes on Yun Shang.
Yun Shang nodded, "It's true that he was sent by me."
Prince Jing nodded, "That's no wonder. I'm telling you, Hua Jing's enemies are chasing him here." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, I remembered it again.
First, Huajing's consort, the emperor said before, received news that he was trapped in Linguan Town. However, I took people to find him, and there were a few of the consort's subordinates, but the consort was not
He was not there. Those subordinates said that they were trapped that day. It seemed that those who surrounded them were not Yelang people. Later, the prince-in-law was taken away and never came back. Could it be that those people are also yours and you set up this trap?
In order to lure Hua Jing to the border, you can find an opportunity to get rid of him." The more Prince Jing thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was very possible.
Yun Shang didn't answer, just smiled, then lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"Hahaha, Yun Shang, ah Yun Shang, I have underestimated you after all. I saw that you were controlled by Hua Jing a few times in the past, and I thought you only had those abilities. I didn't expect that you would actually make a show like this.
." When King Jing saw Yun Shang's expression, he guessed most of it. After thinking about it, he laughed and said.
Yun Shang slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle. Most of the queen's power is in the imperial city. Under her eyes, if I want to do something, I must learn to disguise. If I behave like
If it's too obvious, the queen will definitely become suspicious. However, this is a place where the Li family's influence is difficult to get involved, so I have the final say here."
"So this time, you came here to get rid of Hua Jing with your own hands?" Prince Jing remembered that Yun Shang once said that he hoped to get rid of Hua Jing with his own hands.
Yun Shang nodded and said, "I don't want Hua Jing to return to the imperial city."
Prince Jing nodded, but then shook his head, "You are too reckless, the border is so chaotic, you just come when you say it, but there are men in this military camp, and you also come in just as you say."
Yun Chang smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, let Chang'er stay in the camp. Hua Jing is in the opposite army. This is the fastest place to get news."
When Prince Jing heard this, he was silent for a long time and then said, "I agree, but you need to be more careful in everything."
"Hello..." The sound of horse hooves and the sound of soldiers' armor clashing came from outside the camp, "Report..."
"Come in." Prince Jing frowned slightly, sat up straight, the tent door was opened, and a man dressed as a soldier walked in, "Prince Qi, the Yelang Army has come to provoke again, this time he threw it away
The head of a Ningguo soldier came over and shouted, "Let the prince surrender, otherwise he will kill Princess Huiguo."
Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang. Seeing a hint of interest in her eyes, he smiled and said, "Then I will go out for a while."
Yun Shang stood up in a hurry and said, "Uncle Emperor, I'm going too."
When Prince Jing heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that everything was as expected. But looking at Yun Shang's face that was so beautiful even though she was dressed as a man, Prince Jing frowned and walked aside.
He took out a silver mask and handed it to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang was stunned, took it, put it on his face, and followed Prince Jing out of the tent. (To be continued)
