Gold escape plan

As we all know, the third prince of Tikal is the most likely candidate to take over the position of King Aheka.

Although in the Mayan lowlands, all city-states are hereditary, usually the eldest son inherits the throne.However, King Aheka's eldest son is disabled and cannot inherit it; the second son is also focused on the study of mathematics and calendars, and his ambition is not here.

In this arrangement, only the third child is the most suitable.

The third prince has never married a wife so far. He looks very upright, has a decent mind, and is also very capable. When he helped King Aheka handle affairs, he showed his resolute and decisive style early in the morning.

The rest of the time, he is refined, gentle and courteous.

Ma Xiaorui raised his glass to King Mughal, and said with a smile, "We must let Tikal and Copan prosper together."

The princess's expression didn't change much, as if what they were talking about just now was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her.

She had been staring at Mi Bao, and she had bent her eyes as if she was laughing.

Two days later, they set off and started walking back.

Princess Sofia likes Mi Bao very much, and Mi Bao also looks pleasing to her eyes for the first time, even the smell of spices on the princess can't stop it.

Ma Xiaorui once asked about it, and Mi Bao flicked his tail at that time, saying: "Beautiful sister, I really like it..."

Ma Xiaorui: "..."

And he has also gradually become acquainted with Princess Sofia during these few days of getting along. When they usually talk, they are like two old friends.

Princess Sofia has a very straightforward personality, and there is no need to guess what she means, because there is no hidden meaning in her words, and what should be is what it is.

Sometimes Ma Xiaorui felt that she was like a boy, not at all squeamish and precious like a princess, she would even shoot down a bird with a slingshot, wash and pluck its feathers, and roast it to eat.Although most of it ended up in Mi Bao's stomach.

She can talk to everyone here, and the topics she talks about are all wild and eclectic.Sometimes, Ma Xiaorui even wonders if there is a vast ocean hidden in this girl's heart...

Really, it's too much like the heroine in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies, the girl named Elizabeth who yearns for freedom, also hides the sea in her heart.

Would such a girl be willing to become a "victim" for the sake of the friendship between the two countries?

Princess Sophia poked her head out of the carriage, looked at him and said with a smile, "My lord, are you not afraid that I will run away?"

Ma Xiaorui rode on the horse, smiled, looked over, and said, "Don't talk about it, I was really suspicious just now."

"so what?"

The princess looked at him with obvious meaning in her eyes: Then what?What have you figured out from your doubts?Do you think I will run?

"Princess, you really don't seem like someone who will let others manipulate you." He looked at the princess and said in a gentle voice, "I wouldn't be so surprised if you really escaped marriage."

"Then what will happen to you if I run away from marriage?"

Ma Xiaorui raised her eyebrows and teased her: "I was tied up and pushed back to Tikal, and then I was cut off by the horse by King Aheka."

"You will be caught like this?" Princess Sophia also raised her eyebrows.

"No." Ma Xiaorui said truthfully.

"Even if I really get caught without a fight, some people will not agree." He said.

"Who?"

Ma Xiaorui's eyes suddenly softened.Who else?If he has a problem here, Huo Qin will run with him, the ends of the earth.

Oh, no, they won't leave, they will probably stay in Tikal, let King Aheka look for them, but they can't find them, so they jump anxiously.Then they will rush out at the right time, usurping the throne, what?This world was originally theirs, and it will eventually be theirs.

He smiled, different from the smile just now, this time it was a secret smile, and it was also a snicker in his heart.Just raised the corners of the mouth on both sides, involuntarily.My heart is as sweet as honey.

"You'll see him when you get to Tikal," he said to the princess.

"Oh..." Princess Sophia lowered her head and turned back, the sea of ​​stars in her eyes seemed a little dim for a moment.

"You won't run away, princess." Ma Xiaorui said suddenly.

"Ha, are you so sure?" The princess raised her head, and the little girl with her head down was gone, replaced by a carefree, happy, bright and mischievous girl.

Ma Xiaorui deliberately said: "You have so many dowry attendants and court ladies, what will they do when you leave?"

"Who will take care of them?" The princess stretched like no one else, "I just take care of myself."

"Is this not the truth?" Ma Xiaorui said, "The real situation should be like this—"

"In a real flock of sheep, if the head sheep takes a step, the sheep behind will also follow it." Ma Xiaorui said: "With such a casual personality of the princess, the subordinates will not support idlers."

"No, my lord, you are wrong." The princess blinked and said softly: "Only the people around me are not idlers. In other words, some people around me are not. If I leave, this part of the people will leave too. , as an adult, you, even the priests and nobles in the entire Tikal, will definitely not find them."

"As for the other dowry attendants and maids, they haven't followed me very much. When encountering such a thing, they will probably be helpless..." The princess's voice was very soft, and she put her hand by the window of the carriage, and then lowered her jaw. Pillow on it.

"Oh, it's so annoying!" She continued softly: "I shouldn't think about them... What does it matter to me whether they live or die?"

"But I just want to think about them... because they follow me, at least for now, so I want to cover them... Maybe that's what my brother thinks."

Ma Xiaorui didn't speak.

He already clearly understood what Princess Sofia meant.

"Meow——" Mi Bao also understood what the princess said, jumped off his shoulder for the first time, got into the princess's carriage, and touched her face with his nose, seemingly to comfort her.

The princess laughed and hugged it into her arms.

Mi Bao doesn't like unfamiliar people getting too close to it. Judging from its eyes, this cat is in a state of wanting to blow up its hair but not willing to blow it up.

Anyone can see that this girl just doesn't want to show her sad and vulnerable side in front of others.

——Maybe Princess Sophia wanted to leave Copan in the first place, she maintained the superficial relationship with her brother, and now she has successfully escaped the shackles of the palace.

However, King Mughal could probably suspect that his sister would not be so obedient.So, he took many attendants and court ladies as her dowry, and together with her, he embarked on the journey to Tikal.

Because King Mughal knew very well that with these dowry people as a guide, the kind-hearted princess would not escape marriage so easily, and besides, there were his own eyeliners among these people.

Since ancient times, no politician has been clean.

But... Ma Xiaorui squinted her eyes. With Princess Sophia's ability, as long as she wanted to, she could still run, even with so many dowry populations.Ma Xiaorui had no doubts about this.

But why didn't she run away?

"My lord, you should have guessed it a long time ago, right?" The princess touched Mibao, looked at him and said, "Since I have asked you if you are afraid that I will run away, I will definitely not run away, right?"

"Yes." Ma Xiaorui replied, turned his head and said seriously: "But I really don't know why."

Mi Bao meowed twice.

"Because I like your cat." The princess said with a smile.

Mi Bao yelled again.

"No, Mi Bao can't marry you," Ma Xiaorui caught her stalk, and said with a smile: "Because Mi Bao is underage..."

The princess laughed.

Mi Bao looked at Ma Xiaorui and grinned, saying that he finally had a chance to make the hair on his tail blow up...

That night, they found a leeward place and stayed.

They had been walking for more than a day, and this was the second night after taking over the princess.It is close to the border of Copan, let alone a place to stay, there is not even a thatched hut, so at night, I can only sleep in the wild.

Fortunately, there is a tent, so it is not enough to lie on the grass and count the stars...

The princess was very happy, like a little lunatic, jumping around and setting up a tent with her subordinates, it seemed that she had long since abandoned her "reserved and delicate" princess status.

In Mi Bao's words, this kind of life is what she really likes.

She really isn't fit to be a princess.

Ma Xiaorui took a deep breath, and brought Mi Bao into his tent.

If the princess wants to escape from marriage, he will not stop him at all, he will even tell her the safest route, and try every means to delay her.

There is no other reason, but I don't want to see such a girl become a deep palace woman in the future.

Even if she will have a good life, rich clothes and good food, full of children and grandchildren... But that is like locking a bird yearning for the sky in a cage, and that is her most tragic ending.

So as long as she wants to go, he will let her go without hesitation.As for what will happen to him and Huo Qin here, that is not something to consider.Nothing will happen to them here, he and Huo Qin will take care of everything.

He got into the bed, and Mi Bao wanted to sleep on his chest.

"Every time you are on my chest, I will dream." He tugged at the quilt next to him, and after confirming that it was soft and thick, he rolled over and dropped Mibao into it.

Mi Bao fell to the ground and cursed with grinning teeth: "Dream, what are you dreaming about? Spring dream! I dreamed that the one holding you down is the boss?!"

"Get out!" Ma Xiaorui wrapped himself in the quilt: "I dreamed that I became a grandson and was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain and couldn't breathe!"

Mi Bao rolled his eyes and wanted to continue crawling on top of him, but Ma Xiaorui was lying on his side, and it couldn't reach his chest.

It flicked its tail, raised its chin and looked at him, with a hint of innuendo in its eyes, and said, "Xiao Rui, let me tell you something—"

"The princess has taken a fancy to you."
