The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king

Not long after Xiji and the others left, a group of soldiers arrived at the gate of the city.

Seeing them coming, the soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to ask more questions, they opened the city gate wide and let them enter the city directly.

The soldiers were not polite either. Seeing the city gate open, they raised their whips, urged the horses, and came straight to the gate of the yamen.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the yamen, a fat middle-aged man in official uniform greeted them inside, looked at the leader and respectfully shouted: "Little General Qin!"

The man glanced at him, got off his horse and saluted him, and said politely: "We are here this time, we have important business to deal with, so we hope you will forgive us for disturbing you."

Seeing that he was so polite, the middle-aged man had a sincere expression on his face, and said politely: "Young general, you are polite, if it is useful for me. To put it bluntly, our officers and soldiers are at your disposal."

Hearing what he said, the young general had a bigger smile on his face.

After waiting for many days, I finally waited for the person to come.The county magistrate looked at the young general with a relaxed expression, and his spirit became relaxed. Looking at the busy people, he said politely: "I have already ordered people to prepare a place to rest. If the young general does not dislike it, go to rest now. Others Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Hearing what he said, the young general felt a little moved for a moment. They arrived here too late, and it was completely inconvenient to carry out operations.Although the matter explained above was urgent, they couldn't do much in the middle of the night.

Thinking of this, he looked at the magistrate, smiled politely and said, "Then respect is worse than obedience, thank you!"

The county magistrate saw that his politeness did not seem to be fake, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.

He was about to take him to the other courtyard that had been prepared long ago, but at this moment, a group of people ran out, crying and shouting at the magistrate: "My lord, something happened to the head of my house, please make the decision for us! "

Hearing the crying, the magistrate frowned, glanced at the weeping woman, and winked at the master next to him, telling him to get her away so as not to disturb the distinguished guests.

The master naturally understood what he meant, and immediately walked over, trying to get them away.

After finishing the ignorant woman, the county magistrate turned his attention to the young general again, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, and it's fine for my master to solve it. I'll take you back to rest now."

The young general glanced at the woman who came to surrender, and then at the smiling magistrate in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention. He has important things to do, so he can't waste his time here.He nodded to the magistrate, and was about to leave with him to settle down with his subordinates.

At this moment, I don't know how to communicate over there, the young general suddenly heard a shrill female voice from behind, "My lord, the head of my family was killed by those frenzied thieves, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid they will kill you!" Run away."

Unclear about what it was like, the young general felt his heart skip a beat, stopped his steps to leave, looked at him under the puzzled eyes of the county magistrate, and said, "Since this woman has grievances and wants to complain, let's listen."

Looking at the burnt pawnshop in front of him beyond recognition, and the charred corpse carried out from inside, the young general's expression was very ugly.Out of habit, he endured his nausea and stepped forward to check it out.

Seeing this, his eyes immediately widened, and then he came to the crying woman at a very fast speed, and asked with a serious face, "What's the matter with the thief you just mentioned?"

When the woman heard his question and saw the fierce light in his eyes, she didn't dare to cry any longer, and told all her speculations for the past few days.

"A few days ago, the head of my family said that two poorly dressed people came and pawned a dagger worth thousands of gold. The head of the family thought it was a treasure, and he wanted to give it to the county magistrate. Who knows that this gift has not been sent out yet. My head of the family It was an accident. It must be that they were unwilling and wanted to get that thing back, so they killed our head."

Looking at the woman who obviously didn't tell the whole thing, the young general felt very impatient and said in a bad tone, "You tell the truth, why would you doubt them? I don't have time to spend here with you!"

The woman was frightened by his tone, and was a little scared. Now that her husband was dead, she didn't care about other things, so she told the whole story honestly,

"The head of my family was not reconciled, so I found some people to get back the money they took away, but those people who went to find them were not only disabled, but also turned into lunatics. If it wasn't those two people who did it , who would believe it. They have all done that kind of thing, how could they let the head of my family go. It must be them, they came back to take revenge on my family!"

The young general endured the impatience in his heart and listened to her, and realized something in an instant.Two men in ragged clothes, with priceless daggers, are so vicious.His pupils shrank, and he understood.

He came to the county magistrate with strides, looked at him and hurriedly said: "Immediately seal the city gate, no one can go out. The people who are going to be arrested are in this city."

The county magistrate looked at this man, although he didn't quite understand why he became so agitated, but seeing his ferocious expression, he nodded and didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly sent someone to close the city gate.

Seeing that the magistrate did as he wanted, the young general bitterly thought why they hadn't arrived earlier, if they had arrived earlier, they might have already caught them by now.I only hope that those people are still in the city, so that he can catch a turtle in the urn.

……

Xiji didn't know that after they left, a series of changes happened in the city.At this time, they were sitting on a rickety carriage, and they were on their way all night. Fortunately, this place is very close to the city, and the surrounding roads are very flat. In addition, they had prepared enough torches to illuminate the surrounding roads. So the journey can be regarded as smooth.

Just when Xiji was sitting in the carriage and was about to fall asleep while dangling, the carriage stopped suddenly, and then the guard's slightly nervous voice came from outside, "My lord, come out and have a look."

Xiji fell asleep in a daze, and his consciousness was not very clear, but the Night King was awake. He glanced at Xiji who fell asleep leaning against him, and then at Mr. Guo who was also not sleepy, and ordered: "You guys Stay inside."

When Mr. Guo heard his order, he nodded naturally and agreed.

The Night King opened the curtain of the carriage and strode out of the carriage. The moment he went out, Xiji, who was still a little drowsy, was suddenly sobered by the sudden cold wind.

Xiji rubbed his sore eyes, saw that only himself and Mr. Guo were left in the carriage, and did not see the figure of the Night King, and subconsciously asked, "Where is your lord?"

"Your Excellency is outside." Mr. Guo looked at Xiji and said calmly.

Hearing what he said, Xiji thought they had been walking all night, and it was daytime, so the Night King got out of the carriage and went.Thinking of this, he opened the curtain and was about to go out, ready to see where they were now.

Before Mr. Guo could stop him, Xiji lifted the curtain of the carriage all at once.Seeing the scenery outside, seeing that the sky outside was still dark, and the Night King not far away stood there with a torch and didn't move for a long time, Xiji was still a little strange.

Just when Xiji wanted to ask what the Night King was doing standing there, his eyes first bypassed the Night King's figure and looked in the direction in front of him.Seeing the scene there clearly, Xiji's pupils shrank, his face was full of horror and astonishment, and his whole body was frozen there as if petrified.

At this moment, the Night King looked back at the frightened Xiji and frowned.Handing the torch to the guard beside him, he strode back to the car.

Xiji no longer knew how to react, he could only stare blankly at the Night King who was getting closer and closer to him, until he came in front of him, covered his eyes, and whispered: "Sleep!" Well, these are hallucinations."

While saying this, another hand was placed on the back of his neck, making him dizzy all of a sudden.

When the Night King returned to the carriage with Xiji in his arms, he immediately ordered outside, "Leave here in a detour, and find a place to rest after walking for another hour."

"Yes." There was a reply from the guards outside, followed by the creaking sound of the carriage restarting, and then they followed the carriage and slowly left the woodland full of hanged ghosts.

Seeing Xi Ji lying in Ye Wang's arms, Mr. Guo looked at Ye Wang with a complicated look, and after a long silence, he said bitterly: "My lord, maybe you should let Mr. Xi see."

"Why?" The Night King looked at the person who fell asleep in his arms, and felt that his arms were a little tight.

Mr. Guo glanced at them, hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts, "Young Master Xi needs to get used to this world, and you can't treat this kind of thing as if it doesn't exist every time you encounter it."

Hearing what he said, the Night King looked down at the person in his arms, and said without hesitation: "He doesn't need to adapt to this world, he can always be like this."

Xiji doesn't need to change, he can always be timid, naive, and ignorant of the suffering outside.Be obediently afraid of yourself, obediently dare not leave yourself half a step, obediently stay by your side.He cannot live without himself.He just needs to stay by his side and be a qualified little pet, that's all he needs.

Mr. Guo looked at the stubborn Night King, then at Xiji in his arms, and said nothing more.

……

Waking up the next day, Xiji found that he was sleeping in the carriage, and there was no one else in the carriage except himself.Xiji panicked and got out of the carriage quickly.When he saw the situation outside the carriage clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage was parked by the river, the guards were busy with their respective affairs, and the Night King was sitting by the fire, talking to Mr. Guo.

Seeing the presence of the Night King, Xiji's flustered heart immediately calmed down, and got out of the carriage with all hands and feet, and came to the Night King.

Night King glanced at Xiji who was walking towards him, and seeing that there was no panic on his face, he turned his head and continued to discuss with Mr. Guo about their departure.

Xiji came to the Night King and sat down obediently next to him. The mood affected by the nightmare last night was much better, and he even had time to listen to their plan to leave.

After they talked for a while, a guard came to deliver food.They came out in a hurry yesterday, so they casually bought some flatbreads and the like as dry food. Xiji took a bite and felt a little bit gritty.Although he couldn't swallow much, he still knew that now was not the time to be picky, so he slowly swallowed the prepared water.

Xiji had a hard time eating here, so he could only eat it in small bites. What surprised him was that, compared to himself, the Night King adapted well, eating big mouthfuls of the dry pancake, as if a little I don't think this cake is tasteless.

Seemingly aware of Xiji's gaze, the Night King finished his share in a few mouthfuls, turned his head to look at Xiji, and asked coldly, "What?"

Xiji looked at the Night King's sharp eyes, and didn't dare to look at him again. He immediately averted his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's okay." People who are picky and picky can now bear this kind of tasteless thing.

Seeing Xiji's expression, the Night King knew that he was not telling the truth to himself, and then looked at the more than half of the cake left in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Squeamish."

Xiji felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say this, looked at the pancakes left in his hand, and couldn't refute, but still defended himself in a low voice, "I'm just not hungry now, I can save it for lunch. "

Hearing what he said, the Night King didn't speak any more, but raised his eyebrows and looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

Xiji held the cake in his hand and looked at the expression of the Night King furtively. Seeing him looking at him with a half-smile, it seemed that he was laughing at himself, and he looked very aggrieved when he wanted to refute but couldn't.

Seeing that Xiji was blushing, Ye Wang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stopped teasing him.Glancing at the sky, he asked softly, "Have you rested?"

Xiji looked at him, a little confused, so he seemed to be resting all the time.Although he didn't know what he meant, he nodded.

Seeing this, the Night King glanced at the guards who had already finished eating, and ordered: "Continue on your way."

Others naturally have no objection.

Sitting on the carriage, looking at the passing trees outside the window, thinking of the dream last night, she couldn't help but whispered to the Night King, "My lord, I seemed to have a nightmare last night."

Hearing what he said, Night King's expression didn't change a bit, and he even asked in a very face-saving way: "What dream?"

Xiji recalled it for a while, and his expression was still a bit scared, "I dreamed that in the forest by the roadside, there was a group of hanged people. The ragged clothes were floating in the forest, and they looked like a group of unowned people. lonely soul."

Hearing what he said, the Night King didn't laugh at him, but said casually: "It's just a dream."

Hearing the still calm voice of the Night King in his ears, the uncomfortable feeling that had been suppressing Xiji's heart dissipated a lot at once. He turned his head to look at the Night King, showing a shy smile Come on, "My lord, you are right, it's just a dream."

Mr. Guo watched their interaction and was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh in his heart. He had a bad premonition.

……

The young general looked at the soldiers under his command, and ignored the magistrate standing next to him, and said coldly, "You mean, there is no clue in this city?"

The soldier who came to report looked at his officer and said respectfully, "Yes. The young ones have searched the whole city according to the orders of the adults, but they still haven't found the person the adults want to arrest."

Hearing this, the young general dropped the cup in his hand to the ground, and after watching it fall apart, he said viciously: "After all, let them run away."

He closed his eyes and remained silent for a long while. After the ups and downs finally calmed down, he opened his eyes again, looked at the magistrate standing beside him, and said politely, "I have a merciless request from you."

……

They walked quite smoothly along the way. They didn't encounter any pursuers or robbers who robbed them halfway. Xiji, who had always been worried, was relieved.

In such a happy mood, even if the time on the road is rushed, Xiji will still find ways to make some delicious food, which is the only interesting thing on the boring journey.

"My lord, how long will it take for us to arrive?" Xiji sat in the carriage for so long, and almost felt that his ass was not his own.He leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, like a handful of dried cabbage, he asked dryly.

The Night King glanced at Xiji, who was not energetic, lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "I don't know."

Hearing what the Night King said, Xiji sighed silently and didn't say anything more.I miss the means of transportation in the original world to the extreme. Things that I used to take for granted in this world are simply magic tools!
