Prince does not come

Yun Xun carried Xuan Yunqi all the way to the direction of Xuanguo, Xuan Yunqi's skinny body was protruding, causing the horse to wag its tail non-stop.After riding a fast horse for three or four hours, Yun Xun had already left the boundary of Jianglou.

When the sky was approaching dawn, Yun Xun casually hid Xuan Yunqi in a forest, and threw a bag of broken silver at Xuan Yunqi's feet.When he was leaving, he was not at ease, after all he was the crown prince of the state of Xuan, if something happened in the territory of the state of Liang, he would go to war if he didn't want to fight, so he found some dead tree leaves to cover Xuan Yunqi well, and then got on his horse and returned go.

When Xuan Yunqi woke up, the sun had already set, with only a little bit of afterglow hanging in the sky.

Xuan Yunqi felt that his eyelids were very heavy and his mind was very dizzy. He wanted to open his eyes, but found that there seemed to be something on his eyes. He reached out to take it down and looked, but found that it was a few withered yellow leaves. He shook his head from side to side, All the leaves on his face fell to the ground.

leaf?Xuan Yunqi sat up abruptly, looked around, and realized that he was in an old forest deep in the mountains.A few crows flew by, "dumb" screaming.Xuan Yunqi stood up in disbelief, and the fallen leaves on his body fell to the ground.

Xuan Yunqi rubbed his dizzy head, and after looking around, he was sure that he was indeed alone in the deep mountains.

How is this going?Obviously last night he was still admiring the moon with Long Si, why did he wake up here?Could it be that he was kidnapped?But the surroundings were said to be kidnappers, and even a small thief could not be seen.

Could it be that he suffered from nocturnal excursions and came here by himself?But he, Xuan Yunqi, has lived for 18 years and has never suffered from this disease.

Xuan Yunqi couldn't think of a reason, seeing that it was getting late, Xuan Yunqi decided to go back to the palace first, and it would not be too late to investigate the matter.

It's just that everywhere in the forest is the same, Xuan Yunqi stood under the old tree and looked around, not to mention walking, he couldn't even tell the difference between southeast and north.Xuan Yunqi lowered his head in annoyance, and kicked the tree next to him, but suddenly saw shoe prints on the ground.

The ground is wet in spring, and the marks will not disappear for a while, but Xuan Yunqi was too shocked to notice just now.

There was no one else in the forest, and the shoe print was broken beside Xuan Yunqi, it must be the person who hijacked him.One part of Xuan Yunqi's panicked heart relaxed a little, after all, he was still a healthy person, and he didn't suffer from any strange illness.

No matter what, it's good to find someone now.After thinking for a while, Xuan Yunqi walked along the footprints. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he came to a tree where the shoe prints disappeared and were replaced by horseshoe prints.

The hoofprints under the tree were messy, as if the horse had been tethered here for some time.

Xuan Yunqi was puzzled, why did the person take so much trouble to tie him out of the palace, why did he leave him here again?Did you catch someone?

The sky was getting darker and darker, Xuan Yunqi no longer had the heart to think about why he was here.There are many and lush trees in the forest, covering more than half of the sky, and soon the road will be invisible.

Xuan Yunqi ran with all his strength to follow the hoofprints, but he hadn't eaten for a day, and before he ran a hundred feet away, he felt his feet were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't even lift them. He rested his hands on a standing stone and gasped for breath.

A piece of white stone about one foot wide, with a protruding edge chiseled on the side, Xuan Yunqi's hand rested on the edge.

How can there be chiseled stones in this barren mountain?

Xuan Yunqi held his breath and turned his head slowly, a few big black characters came into view, other Xuan Yunqi didn't see it clearly, his eyes fixed on the word "Tomb" at the bottom.

The sky was dark and there was only a little light, but this did not prevent Xuan Yunqi from seeing clearly the densely packed tombs in the forest. Many of the tombs had white flags inserted on them, swinging as if someone was moving.

What kind of barren hills and old forests are these? It's simply a graveyard!

Xuan Yunqi suddenly let go of the girl, and rushed forward desperately, the wind whistled in his ears, as if a ghost was by his side, Xuan Yunqi could only hear his heartbeat.For some reason, the scene of Long Si standing in the sun saving him the day before yesterday came to his mind. Does Long Si know now that he was tied up, and will he save him in time?

Long Si hadn't waited to come, but the night came first.

It was still a shallow first quarter moon, but the meager moonlight seemed to have forgotten this piece of forest, and there was no light at all.

Xuan Yunqi's eyes were darkened, and he could only run forward by instinct.Suddenly he bumped into something, and with a muffled "dong", Xuan Yunqi felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then hit something in his chest again, his chest was tight and short of breath, his brain was empty, and he fell back in a daze.

The wind brought by the fall caused the leaves on the ground to turn up and down.The sound of falling to the ground startled the birds on the tree to coo and scream.

Xuan Yunqi had a dream.It was when he was seven years old that Luo Qunzi entered the palace to teach him how to paint.Luo Quinzi smiled and said to him: "Prince, let's draw mountains and rivers today."

Xuan Yunqi shook his head, looked up at Luo Qunzi and said solemnly: "No, I want to draw characters."

Luo Quinzi was startled for a moment, then smiled again: "Prince, I don't draw people."

Xuan Yunqi didn't answer, and only asked: "Did you draw "The Picture of Yu Xi's Fierce Battle"?"

Luo Qunzi suppressed her smile, and seemed to be emotional, "It was a long time ago, and I can't remember it anymore."

Xuan Yunqi sat down on the chair, raised his face and looked at Luo Quinzi with a little rebelliousness, "Then I don't care, you came to the palace to teach me how to paint, I must learn the picture of "The Battle of Yu Xi" ""

Luo Qunzi's face changed slightly, and he bowed and said, "I can't do anything for you."

Xuan Yunqi jumped off the stool, walked to Luo Quinzi's side, looked up at Luo Quinzi's face, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are willing to enter the palace because of your request to my father. My father has always doted on me. If he knows that you are refusing like this, do you think he will agree to you?"

Xuan Yunqi watched as Luo Quinzi walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and stroke by stroke, outlined a man waving a gun in one hand.

Who is that?Why so familiar?

As the pen fell down slowly, the outline of the man gradually became clear, Long Si!

Xuan Yunqi woke up immediately, opened his eyes and the sun shone into his pupils, which was a bit dazzling, Xuan Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not night.

Xuan Yunqi rubbed his head, only to feel a severe headache and a tight pain in his chest. Xuan Yunqi sat up, and a white tombstone stared at him silently.

Immediately behind the tombstone was a thick pine tree. Yesterday he hit the tree first, and then hit the tombstone.

Xuan Yunqi opened his eyes wide in an instant, feeling a chill down his back.He stood up abruptly, ignoring the pain, and ran forward with all his strength. At this moment, he just wanted to get out of this damn place quickly.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Xuan Yunqi only felt that his legs were no longer under his control, and they were only moving numbly.Just when Xuan Yunqi couldn't hold on anymore, a narrow road finally appeared in front of his eyes.Xuan Yunqi was so excited that tears filled his eyes, he was finally saved.

Xuan Yunqi staggered to the side of the road, he didn't even have the strength to stand, and sat softly on the side of the road, hoping that a carriage would pass by and give him a ride.

As soon as I relaxed, the soreness all over my body came out again, hungry and painful.Half a quarter of an hour later, Xuan Yunqi couldn't even sit up. He pursed his chapped lips, looked around, found a tree to lean against, and sat waiting for passing carriages and horses.

Just when Xuan Yunqi was so tired that he was about to pass out, he finally heard the sound of wheels rolling over the road. Xuan Yunqi was overjoyed, struggled to stand up, and moved to the side of the road.

The sound was getting closer and closer, making Xuan Yunqi's heart rise high.

The carriage finally approached, Xuan Yunqi looked carefully, the carriage was made of dark blue brocade, it was a carriage from a rich family, Xuan Yunqi ran to the middle of the road, stopped the carriage, and begged "Can you take me for a ride?" he asked.

"Woo!" The boy driving the car tightly reined in the reins, and cursed at Xuan Yunqi, "If you want to die, get out of here!"

The horse stopped suddenly, and the carriage shook vigorously, only to hear the person inside roar angrily, "What's going on?"

The servant quickly replied: "Master, a beggar stopped the car."

I saw a snack thrown out of it, "Let him go!"

Xuan Yunqi quickly explained: "I'm not a beggar, I just want you to take me for a ride"

The person inside scolded: "It's really pushing an inch, just run it to death."

The little servant is used to obeying orders, and he responded straightforwardly: "Yes, master." As he spoke, he swung his whip and was about to rush towards Xuan Yunqi.

Xuan Yunqi dodged in a panic and watched the carriage go away.The hope that had finally risen in my heart fell again.

Xuan Yunqi squatted on the ground, the hunger surged like a raging fire.Xuan Yunqi looked at the snacks on the ground with bright eyes, swallowed hard, then quickly picked up the snacks, stuffed them into his sleeves without even looking at them, like a thief.

Xuan Yunqi quickly walked back to the place where he was sitting just now, leaned against the tree and looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he slowly took out the snack from his sleeve, it was a small piece of brown sugar shortbread.After rolling on the ground a few times, the meringue on the outside was not only a little loose, but also covered with dust.

Xuan Yunqi carefully patted off the dust, then took a small bite, it was very fragrant and sweet.Xuan Yunqi didn't dare to finish eating, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the palace, this was his only food.Xuan Yunqi carefully put the shortbread on his chest, looking at the deserted road.The tip of Xuan Yunqi's nose was sore, the grievance in his heart welled up, and he sobbed loudly.

When Xuan Yunqi was crying until the sky was dark, he suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling against the road. Xuan Yunqi stopped the sound immediately and stared at the road intently.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a carriage appeared in Xuan Yunqi's eyes, it was a linen carriage.Xuan Yunqi walked to the side of the road, waved to the car, and begged: "Can you please take me for a ride?"

The driver of the car stared at Xuan Yunqi for a while, seeing his unkempt hair and blood stains on his face, he didn't want to agree, but when he saw that he was wearing a beautiful necklace around his neck, he changed his mind instantly and pointed at Xuan Yunqi's neck Ying Luo on the screen: "It's okay to take you for a ride, but you have to exchange that for that"

Xuan Yunqi looked down and saw Yingluo on his neck, and nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

The man held out his hand, "Bring it"

Xuan Yunqi shook his head, "I'll give it to you when I get to the place", the hairpin has long been scattered and the red hairpin on his head has fallen to nowhere. Now this Yingluo is the only valuable thing on his body, so he can't take it out at will went.

The man made a cut and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Jian Lou" Xuan Yun said in unison.

"Jiang Lou?" The man frowned, "That's far away." But when he saw the necklace on Xuan Yunqi's neck, he made up his mind, "Okay."

Xuan Yunqi was overjoyed, said: "Thank you" and climbed onto the carriage.Just as he was about to get into the carriage, the man grabbed Xuan Yunqi, patted the shaft of the carriage, "Sit here"

At this time, the people in the carriage poked their heads out and asked, "What's the matter?" When they saw Xuan Yunqi, they covered their noses in disgust, "You beggar, why did you climb onto the car and get out of here quickly?" "

Xuan Yunqi was afraid that they would not carry him, so he quickly explained: "I'm not a beggar, I'm just..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the people in the carriage pulling Xuan Yunqi's clothes, and he was very pleasantly surprised, "This dress is so beautiful."Then he looked at Xuan Yunqi condescendingly, and said arrogantly: "Take it off quickly, even a beggar like you deserves to wear such beautiful clothes."

The clothes on Xuan Yunqi were specially chosen by Shu Ning on the night Xuan Yunqi invited Long Si to watch the moon together.It was a long blue dress with vermilion feathers that dragged the floor, and the green luan tattooed on the skirt was lifelike, ready to fly.

Xuan Yunqi didn't care about the meanness of the woman's words, just shook his head: "I've already used Yingluo as fare, you want clothes unless you have other things to exchange with me." He has something useful.

The woman snorted disdainfully, as if surprised that Xuan Yunqi dared to bargain with her, "If you don't give it, we won't take you to Jianglou."

Xuan Yunqi expected that the woman would not let him go, after all the desire in her eyes was too strong.Then he said indifferently: "You guys are leaving, I will wait for the next car. I have my things on me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get in the car." After that, he was ready to jump out of the car.

When the man driving the car saw him, he quickly grabbed Xuan Yunqi, "Women are short-sighted, girl, don't be as knowledgeable as her." He had already seen that the things on this man were very valuable.

The woman rolled her eyes and shouted, "Who do you think is short-sighted? Huh?"

Xuan Yunqi was so hungry that he had no energy at all, and he didn't want the two of them to see it, so he leaned against the car door and closed his eyes to rest.

Inherently noble, every move has its own bearing.

Seeing that Xuan Yunqi hadn't spoken, the two also shut up.The woman looked at Xuan Yunqi's clothes more and more, she couldn't move her eyes, she thought for a while, "Come in and sit down."

Just as Xuan Yunqi was about to refuse, the woman continued: "There is food in it, it is a unique snack in our hometown, girl, you must try it"

At this time, Xuan Yunqi would not be tempted by others, but Xuan Yunqi couldn't refuse at all.He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.Xuan Yunqi secretly swallowed, put aside the barrier for the time being, and walked in.

Just now the woman only poked her head out, Xuan Yunqi didn't pay attention to it, but looking at it now, the whole carriage can hardly hold her alone, and there is another sour smell permeating the carriage.

Xuan Yunqi couldn't take it anymore, and quickly backed out, "I see Madam really likes this dress, how about this, I will use this dress to exchange some food with Madam."

"Okay, okay" the woman responded quickly, and as she spoke, she heard a noise from the carriage, and after a while, the woman took a big bag of snacks and handed it to Xuan Yunqi, "Hey, I'll give you some food, and bring you some clothes"

Xuan Yunqi was in a dilemma, "I gave you the clothes, what should I wear, why not wait until Jianglou, and I will give you the clothes again"

But the woman quit, "That won't work, I gave you all the food, and you have to give me the clothes right away."

Xuan Yunqi said: "Then there's nothing I can do, I'm not very hungry anyway." He closed his eyes and leaned against the door to rest, he was really hungry, if he continued to read, he couldn't help stretching out his hand up.

Seeing that Xuan Yunqi really didn't want to change, the woman's eyes were glued to Xuan Yunqi's clothes, and her heart was full of unwillingness. She had never seen such beautiful clothes in her life.With a cruel heart, he said: "Okay, I will give you the food first, and you will give me the clothes slowly"

Xuan Yunqi was very happy in his heart, but his face was still calm, he opened his eyes, "Since Madam is so forthright, then I won't refuse." Then he took the food offered by the woman, it was a bag of red bean cake.

Xuan Yunqi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, it was very sweet, but he couldn't stop it.Xuan Yunqi leaned against the car door and ate slowly with his eyes closed.

The carriage traveled for a day, and at night, the man parked the carriage in the woods.The three lit a fire beside the carriage, and after the fire was finished, the husband and wife entered the carriage to rest on their own. Xuan Yunqi sat beside the fire bored by himself. After sitting for a while, Xuan Yunqi He yawned, tightened his clothes, and fell asleep by the fire.

Early the next morning, Xuan Yunqi was woken up by his own sneeze.Xuan Yunqi touched his clothes, feeling a little wet, spring is really not suitable for sleeping in the wild.

Xuan Yunqi waited for a long time before the two people in the car got up slowly, and there was no delay when they got up, and they were on their way soon.Xuan Yunqi didn't sleep well at all last night, the ground was so hard that his back ached, and he leaned against the car door and dozed off like yesterday.

The sun was warm in the morning, and the wind blew past his temples, blowing Xuan Yunqi's messy hair.The man driving the car caught a glimpse of Xuan Yunqi's face from the corner of his eye, and immediately turned his head to look sideways. This look, what a guy, his heartbeat almost stopped.Rao is the Nine Heavens Fairy, but she didn't come back to her senses after watching it for a long time.

But no one was watching the road, and the horse started to run wild.

Xuan Yunqi felt that the car was shaking more and more, so he quickly opened his eyes, only to see the horse rushing towards a tree.
