little fool's child bride
Chapter 177
"It will take half a month at the latest." Qingfeng rubbed the back of his head, and then gave the white horse a whip. "The two of us can only take the official road. If we encounter some bandits in the mountains and forests, it will be over."
Xiao Xiao has always been like this, but, "Will there be no accidents if you follow the official path?"
"That's natural, otherwise what's the purpose of cultivating the official road?" Qingfeng smiled shyly, "Although this official road requires tolls, and the restaurants and inns on the roadside are more expensive than usual, but it's very safe, don't worry There are bandits and the like who dare to go to the official road to rob."
"Isn't the official way only for people from the government?" Thinking of the little bit of historical common sense that she barely remembered, Xiao Xiao asked puzzled.
"That was before!" Qingfeng suddenly looked back at Wangcheng with admiration on his face, "Since our new prince came to power, we have proposed many new policies, and this official way is one of them!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, but he didn't expect that the prince would propose the "toll station" model so far ahead of him, it's almost the same as the modern highway.But even if Qingfeng told him about the great achievements of the new prince so enthusiastically, Xiao Xiao still had no interest in the boring journey, until one day at the tea shop, he heard that Xiao Xiao, who had the same name as himself, had died stand up.
"It's also pitiful, I went there at a young age," a person wearing the clothes of a bodyguard from the Yuanwei Bodyguard Agency chatted with the bodyguard at the same table, "Why do you think the Rong family produced such a thing? How could they treat Xiao Xiao out of jealousy?" Do something like this sir."
Xiao Xiao was sluggishly lying on the table and gnawed on the cooking cakes. When she heard Mr. Xiao, she immediately ignored her numb buttocks and licked her face to join the bodyguard.It's a pity that the bodyguards are always vigilant, and when they touched the handle of the knife, they looked at Xiao Xiao with a murderous look: "You boy! Why did you sneak here!"
Xiao Xiao hurriedly raised the teacup in her hand to indicate that she was not hostile, and then put on an innocent look: "I just heard what you said about Mr. Xiao, so I want to know what happened to Mr. Xiao? What does it mean to go away at a young age? "
"It seems that you also came from Wangcheng, why is the news not as well-informed as ours?" Although the bodyguard said so, he still told Xiao Xiao what he knew, "It all starts with the return of the Xiangcheng army squadron to the court... ..."
On that day when the Xiangcheng army returned to Wangcheng, the governor and others went up to the court the next day to be entrusted, and they either received money or land.The emperor was even more excited, and wanted to hold a palace banquet to clean up the victorious soldiers.However, at night when the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, a little eunuch stumbled into the hall, saying that the little princess had hanged herself and had just been rescued.The emperor left in a hurry, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, but within three days, the little princess had a disturbed conscience because she framed Mr. Xiao, and the news that she chose to hang herself for the rest of her life was spread all over the city.The little princess's reputation was completely ruined. She was sent to Yangliuan to accompany the ancient Qingdeng Buddha. The emperor had no choice but to release Xiao Xiao, and would not investigate who kidnapped him.But at this time, another monk from Yangliu Temple came to the government with one of Xiao Xiao's shoes, saying that Mr. Xiao might have fallen under the cliff of the mountain behind them, probably with no bones left.The government sent people to check, and they found bloodstains and some of Mr. Xiao's clothes on the cliff. Seeing that there was no way to go down to the bottom of the cliff to check, they went back and said that Mr. Xiao might have been murdered by someone. the one who robbed him.
If the road was blocked, they changed to another road. The government arrested the jailer and the head of the dungeon for interrogation, and sure enough, they got some unusual clues.It turned out that a member of the Rong family named Rong Qianqiu had been here, and said that Prime Minister Rong wanted this person's life, and asked them to pretend not to know and get him out.How dare these jailers and cell bosses disobey the orders of Prime Minister Rong Zuo?What's more, they just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, so they responded one after another with money.Naturally, they were doomed to die, and Rong Qianqiu was also taken back. After questioning, he found out that Mr. Xiao had been brutally killed by him, and he threw the body under the cliff.And all this is just because he is jealous of Mr. Xiao's genius.
"It's a terrible fight among the literati!" The bodyguard said, foaming from the mouth, and drank three bowls of tea due to thirst.He shook his head sighing and concluded: "Mr. Xiao really died unjustly!"
Xiao Xiao should have been happy when she heard that Xiao Xiao was dead. After all, she proved that she was not a fugitive; but after hearing this development, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry. She should have thanked the bodyguard and forgot, and she was a little lost back to his desk.Qingfeng just came back after inquiring about the nearest inn from the shop owner. Seeing his face about to cry, he frowned and asked, "Why are you so sad? Someone bullied the young master?"
Xiao Xiao looked up at her, not knowing what to say.After all, if Qingfeng knew that he was not the fugitive Xiao Xiao, would he send him back to the Guiyi Pavilion to pick up guests?According to Mudan, they said they were kind, but for a person like him who was sold in and has no special skills, it is not up to them to decide whether to accept customers or not.
Xiao Xiao didn't know how to speak, Qingfeng narrowed her eyes, and then looked at the bodyguards at several tables around her.He picked up the teacup and didn't speak. He waited until he got into the carriage before asking:
"Did those bodyguards tell you something?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, then shook her head again.
"They did say something," Xiao Xiao sighed, "It's not that they bullied me, but that I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what they said."
Qingfeng's voice suddenly became cold: "What did they say?"
"They said that Mr. Xiao is dead," Xiao Xiao didn't know why, looked into Qingfeng's eyes and said all the worries in her heart without any scruples, "Will you send me back to the Guiyi Hall?"
"No." Qingfeng looked at Xiao Xiao firmly, "Whether you are that Mr. Xiao or not, the order I received was to send you to Youcheng, so I will send you there no matter what."
However, Xiao Xiao didn't feel any comfort, because he knew that Guiyi Hall took such a risk because it regarded him as the stunningly talented Dr. Guozijian, not a self who had just traveled through time.It would be fine if he could show his talent in You City, but if he couldn't, then there might be another Guiyi Hall waiting for him.
He absolutely does not want to be a petite!
Xiao Xiao huddled in the corner of the float, thinking whether to wait for an opportunity to escape or pretend to be Mr. Xiao after arriving in Youcheng.But the news that Mr. Xiao has died may have been spread long ago. After thinking about it, Xiao Xiao felt that she couldn't sit still and planned to run away when she had a chance.
After waiting for 20 days, Xiao Xiao entered Youcheng.He thought that if he didn't run away at this time, he would never be able to run away again, so he took advantage of the breeze to go to the inn to talk about the room, ran to the street and walked through the crowd until he reached an alley, and then Turn into a family's backyard.Hiding behind a pile of firewood, Xiao Xiao listened quietly for a while, until she found that there seemed to be no one in the house, then quietly got up, and then entered the house through the door in the backyard.
The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy, not even dust on the table.Xiao Xiao thinks that the owner of this house is only leaving for a while, so she has to think about where to go next, whether to leave or wait for the owner to come back.However, thinking that there was still Qingfeng looking for him outside, he couldn't help but stop when he wanted to leave the house, and then began to think about what to say to let the owner understand that he was not a bad person, and he just wanted to stay for a while.
Xiao Xiao thought about it, and in order to increase the persuasiveness of her words, she decided to take a look at the things in the room, and then prescribe the right medicine.But this room is also very simple, and Xiao Xiao dare not pry open the boxes and other things in the room, so he can only deduce from the mold hanging on the wall that this person is probably a street vendor.Thinking that merchants generally value profit, Xiao Xiao fumbled through her pockets, and finally took out from her sleeves a few tens of pennies that Qingfeng said a few days ago to buy snacks for herself after entering the city.
"What should I do?" Xiao Xiao sat cross-legged on a chair with a frowning face, holding the dozens of copper coins over and over again with one hand, "Isn't it enough to rent for one day? It would be more fun if the Guiyi Pavilion offered a reward to myself, I'm afraid He was tipped off the next day, and then arrested.”
Xiao Xiao sat for a whole day, was hungry and didn't dare to touch the steamed buns in the kitchen, but from the afternoon onwards, she looked forward to the homeowner's return soon.However, until it got dark, Xiao Xiao didn't hear any movement from the door. On the contrary, he was tired from the carriage for several days, his eyelids were heavy as if filled with lead, and he sat on the chair and dozed off.He was so hungry, Xiao Xiao originally thought that he would be too hungry to sleep, but unfortunately he lost consciousness in the end, and then opened his eyes to find himself lying on the bed.
"who are you?"
A scholar in a dark blue gown walked into the room, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Xiao Xiao who was awake.He was about twenty years old, with a pretty face, as if he was incompatible with this humble house with his own halo, Xiao Xiao couldn't help being stunned the first time he saw him.
"What? Are you dumbfounded?" He came over and bent down, stretched out his fingers to lift Xiao Xiao's chin, and then approached Xiao Xiao's face.The man said in a contemptuous tone: "The legendary Mr. Xiao is nothing more than that."
Xiao Xiao was awakened by the words. He frowned and knocked off the man's finger, then calmly explained: "I'm not that Mr. Xiao, that Mr. Xiao is dead."
"If you say you're dead, then die," the young man straightened up casually, "Anyway, this account has to be settled, so let's start with being a book boy for me."
Book boy?
Xiao Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth in surprise, and then felt that this man was pretty, but he looked like a fool.It's a pity that after seeing Qingfeng, he realized that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake. It turned out that he hadn't escaped from the Guiyi Pavilion at all.
Xiao Xiao has always been like this, but, "Will there be no accidents if you follow the official path?"
"That's natural, otherwise what's the purpose of cultivating the official road?" Qingfeng smiled shyly, "Although this official road requires tolls, and the restaurants and inns on the roadside are more expensive than usual, but it's very safe, don't worry There are bandits and the like who dare to go to the official road to rob."
