rent a princess

Mu Qingfeng was very helpless, but he had no plan, so he could only let it go, and dragged Lin You into the room.

"What do you propose?"

Lin You shook his head, "I don't know either. Your family Xiao Suli is full of tricks, I don't understand what she wants to do." He said, looking at Mu Qingfeng, "You don't know either?"

"I really don't know. The princess never told me about it, or she wouldn't have tricked me into going on board."

"Hey, yes." Lin You's eyes lit up, and he patted the table, "We have to go through the post station on the way to Jingzhou. We can sleep on the boat, but we have to go out for dinner. Then we will talk about these guards. The prepared food is not tasty, go to the post station to eat, and take the opportunity to escape."

"Escape?" Mu Qingfeng thought about it for a moment, then waved his hands again and again, "I don't think it's going to work, there are five of them, even if two of them look at one of us, there will be one left. Besides, they are the best of the best , if you run a hundred steps, they can catch up with you with a single effort."

Lin You followed and nodded, "That's right, so what should we do? You can't just go to Jingzhou like this."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingfeng's mouth, "Just do one thing and do the other, and forget about destroying the boat."

"Good plan! Then how do we get to Xuzhou?"

"Fast horses! There are horses at the post station, and it's only a day's journey for us to go there by fast horses."

"Okay!" Lin You nodded firmly, got up, and started looking for things.

Mu Qingfeng looked at the things Lin You turned around with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"

Lin You straightened up, "Didn't we agree to smash the boat?"

"Now?" Mu Qingfeng pointed to the bright sky outside, no matter how bad he did, he had to wait until night.

"Of course it is now, even if we smashed the boat at night, they also know that we did it on purpose and wanted to escape. In this case, why not be more direct, get up quickly, and hurry up. At night, we don't know how far we are from Xuzhou. "

After thinking about it, Mu Qingfeng found out that this was indeed the case, so he also started looking for things to smash.Before the incense burned, the two smashed a hole in the bottom of the boat.

Mu Qingfeng rushed out, "Come on! Come on! The cabin is leaking."

The guards hurried over when they heard the voice, ran into the door to take a look, sighed, wanted to get angry but didn't dare, after all one of them was the future son-in-law.I really regret that I took this errand at the beginning, it would be better to be Huang Gai with the princess.

"You two, we understand that you want to escape, but now you have smashed the cabin, how can we go ashore?"

Mu Qingfeng and Lin You were taken aback for a moment. They actually forgot about this stumble. They couldn't see where the shore was when they looked at it.

"Hurry up and pour the water out."

A group of people hurriedly took pots and pans in the kitchen and poured water out.Fortunately, the hole that was smashed was not big. Someone found a wooden plank and temporarily blocked it, leaving only a small gap where water continued to enter, but no matter what, it was impossible to reach Jingzhou.

"What's your name?" Mu Qingfeng was so tired after tossing back and forth, she sat on the threshold and asked the guard standing aside.She had noticed earlier that the remaining four listened to this man.

"Subordinate to Xiahe."

"Xiahe, you should know what the princess is going to do, right?" Mu Qingfeng asked in a gentle and persuasive tone.

"My subordinates don't know." Xia He still had a stiff face, unmoved in the slightest.

"You may not know that the princess and I have already made a private decision for the rest of our lives, and we are already husband and wife." When Mu Qingfeng said this, his face blushed. If Xiao Sulu knew about this kind of nonsense, he might have to deal with himself. . "No matter what she does, how dangerous it is, I'm willing to be with her, do you understand?"

There was a flash of emotion in Xia He's eyes, and his stiff face softened a little, he still said loyally and dutifully: "This subordinate understands, but this subordinate already has military orders, and military orders cannot be violated."

Mu Qingfeng originally wanted to use threats. If the princess died, the son-in-law would not be able to survive, and neither would the guards. Now that he thought about it, these guards were always going to fight with swords and swords, and threatening them would only make them The tense becomes more serious.

"Do you have a wife?"

Xia He raised his eyes, looked at Mu Qingfeng and replied, "This subordinate is already married."

"Do you have children?"

Xia He's eyes showed warmth, "I have a daughter who is very cute, just like my wife."

Seeing Xia He's demeanor, Mu Qingfeng knew that he was making the right move in playing the emotional card.

"If your wife and children were in danger, would you go away alone?"

Xia He paused, looked at Mu Qingfeng, and said firmly: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, so naturally I put the princess first and obey the princess' orders."

"So, even if his wife and children are separated and his family is destroyed, is he still determined to do so?" Mu Qingfeng continued to ask persistently.

Xia He rolled his eyes, and didn't answer Mu Qingfeng's words directly. He just said, "Master Mu, I know what you mean, but no matter what you say, I won't let you leave."

Mu Qingfeng nodded, "I know you will be like this. I beg you because I am trying to escape; it is your duty to refuse my request. There is no conflict in this."

Xia He looked at Mu Qingfeng a little more appreciatively, thinking in his heart, this Mr. Mu is also an open-minded person.

"What about your parents?" Mu Qingfeng continued to ask.

"With my wife."

Mu Qingfeng stretched his waist, "You should know that King Ling has set up camp thirty miles away from Jingzhou, so you're not afraid of Jingzhou's fall?"

"The princess asked us to send Mr. Mu to Jingzhou, so it is naturally determined that Jingzhou will not fall."

Mu Qingfeng laughed, "You are direct."

With a faint smile on his face, Xia He also replied: "Young Master Mu is very straightforward, if I make a lot of long speeches, it will appear that I am a bit hypocritical."

Mu Qingfeng said in admiration: "I met Xiao Li before, and I knew he was capable of both civil and military skills, so I only thought that he was the princess's personal bodyguard, as it should be. Later, I met Mrs. Lin, a woman who is not inferior in everything. , I am even more amazed. Now that I know you again, the princess is really surrounded by hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Xia He smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth widened, as if he had accepted Mu Qingfeng's praise.

Mu Qingfeng turned around, looked straight at Xia He, and his voice became cold, "Guard Xia is deeply favored by the emperor. He would rather abandon his family and protect the princess. It is really admirable. But when Guard Xia said these words, he had already tacitly agreed The state will not fall, and the family will not be injured. What if Jingzhou really falls? Can Guard Xia firmly abandon his parents, wife and children, and resolutely protect the princess?"

Xia He was stunned to the side, completely unexpected that Mu Qingfeng would become serious in a short while, and he didn't know how to answer, but he subconsciously chose his family.

Mu Qingfeng's tone softened, "Xia Shiwei has already made his choice, right? If that's the case, why does Xia Shiwei want me to abandon my family and my wife? My family is still in Bianzhou, and I don't know if I'm alive or not. My wife is in Xuzhou I don’t know life or death. The princess is like a king or a wife to me; my parents are more kind to me. I leave them at this moment and go to Jingzhou alone. Disciple. Guard Xia, please let me go back to Xuzhou."

Xia He turned his head away and frowned. Although Mu Qingfeng had persuaded him in his heart, the princess had repeatedly told him to send Mr. Mu to Jingzhou.

Xia He could only say in a blunt tone: "Young Master Mu, I still say the same thing, I already have a military order."

Mu Qingfeng put his hands behind his back and looked at Xia He, "The law is nothing more than human feelings. If Guard Xia is worried about being punished by the princess in the future, I am willing to take the responsibility with all my strength, and ask Guard Xia to send me back to Xuzhou. Whether it is life or death, it is my responsibility alone, and it has nothing to do with Xia Shiwei, I just want to be with my family, and I don't want to drag myself along."

Xia He stared straight at Mu Qingfeng, and the two looked at each other without flinching.

For a long time, when Mu Qingfeng thought that Xia He would not agree to her, he only heard the person on the other side reply: "When we get to the station, find a new boat, and we will escort Mr. Mu back to Xuzhou."

Mu Qingfeng wanted to jump up happily, pretending to be calm and said, "Thank you, Guard Xia." After saluting, he turned around and wanted to find Lin You to share his joy.

I only heard Xia He behind him say: "You don't need to thank me, I'm just for Her Royal Highness."

Mu Qingfeng turned around and nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude.He turned around and continued walking towards the room.

When they arrived at the post station, there was no place for them to sit. There was a dense group of people in the entire post station. It seemed that there were at least 300 people. The leader was a man with delicate features who looked like a woman.

Mu Qingfeng and his group sat under the tree, listening to the conversation between two people at the nearest table, "Can we do it with just us?"

The leading man said: "Keep your voice down! Don't cause panic. Since the fifth princess wants us to go, there must be countermeasures. We just need to obey the princess's instructions."

"Isn't there a rumor in the court that the fifth princess is missing?"

"Don't listen to the rumors. It is the emperor who gave us the order. Could it be that the emperor doesn't know that the fifth princess is missing?"

Fifth princess?Xiao Su Nai?Mu Qingfeng and Lin You looked at each other, and the two got up with hands and feet, and walked towards the man in the lead.Before he got close, he was stopped by one of them.

Xia He stepped forward, took out his waist badge, looked around, and said in a low voice: "We are from the eldest princess's mansion. May I ask who you are?"

The leading man got up, approached and looked at the waist card, bowed his hands, and said: "It turns out that we are the personal followers of His Royal Highness the eldest princess, disrespect and disrespect, we are the guards of the Qing Dynasty."

The gate guards of the Qing Dynasty were a team established by the first emperor. They were mainly responsible for protecting the emperor's princes, princesses and concubines in the palace. There were not many people, only more than a thousand people. , and the family background must be clean, and the three generations of the ancestors must be investigated.
