The Panlong carriage, with its unique and outstanding shape, moved forward smoothly in the procession. Zheng Quchi and Gongshu were the only two people in the carriage. The others either rode horses or walked with the carriage.
Gongshu Jiruo looked at Zheng Quchi's "lively and active" back in the car and asked hesitantly: "Ah Qing, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
This was a polite statement, but others would probably complain that she was like a monkey that was made of fur, and would never be quiet for a moment.
"I do not have it."
At this time, Zheng Quchi was leaning out of the car window. On the yellowed highland covered with a layer of wind and sand, the cliffs, limestone, and the sun were shining brightly, and the sky was high and the sky was far away...
Her eyes never rested, observing the movements and situations around her. Even after hearing Gong Shujiruo's questions, she replied casually.
Even if Gongshu came closer, he also looked outside: "What are you looking at?"
Not long after he saw her getting in the car, he began to become unable to sit still. He kept twisting his butt and looking left and right, saying that she was admiring the scenery along the way, but her eyes were too alert and flexible.
Zheng Quchi saw that he was also sitting over, and she was obviously a little suspicious, so she made an excuse: "I heard that gorals can often be seen in the suburbs of Julu Kingdom, but we have been walking for so long, and I haven't seen one." I haven’t seen them yet, tell me, where did they go?”
Hearing what she said, Gongshu Jiruo turned his gaze and quietly stared at her profile that had returned to its original appearance... Only then did he realize that she was looking for the goral.
She is much whiter.
She is also a little rounder and plumper than her previous skinny appearance. She has a rounded apple face, and when she looks good, she looks particularly cute.
Maybe her appearance is not the kind of stunning beauty that can make people fascinated at a glance, but every part of her facial features is more pleasing to the eye and more comfortable to look at. As long as people see her, they will unconsciously feel happy.
"What are you looking at?"
Zheng Quchi turned around and saw that he had been staring at him in trance, not knowing why.
Gongshu Jiruo came back to his senses immediately, his eyes dodge unconsciously: "I didn't see anything."
Speaking of which, the large-scale migration of gorals can be regarded as a unique native scenery in Julu Kingdom that is different from other countries. It is really difficult to see it elsewhere.
He told her: "You can't see them this season. They will go to the warm west of Ye country to breed when winter enters, and then return to the place with abundant water and grass when spring is about to come. It's past time now."
"Ah, that's right. I thought I was bored on the road and could see the unique scenery of Julu Country. In this case, it's a pity."
After hearing what he said, she couldn't find any excuse to keep herself exposed and attract attention.
She adjusted her posture and turned back, but her eyes still glanced out the window unconsciously.
She has been sitting outside in the wind and sand for so long. Is her location conspicuous enough?
We are about to arrive at "Tiger Roar Pass", but why does everything still look so calm? She began to wonder if she had guessed wrong...
If she guesses wrong, she...she won't be able to count on others. She will have to rely on her own ability to escape from prison.
"We are about to arrive at Huxiao Pass. When we reach the pass, we need to get off the car to hand over some documents and talismans. It won't take much time, so you can wait for me in the car." Gongshu Jiruo told her.
Zheng Quchi's eyes rolled, and she asked pretending to be curious: "Is that the loess fortress in front? I didn't go this way when I came from Ye State. This Huxiao Pass is quite impressive. Can I do it? I also want to get out of the car and take a walk, and... I also want to make it easier..."
She felt a little embarrassed after saying the last sentence.
When Gongshu heard that she still wanted to remind her of his needs so obviously, it was all because he ignored her that made her so embarrassed, he apologized.
"Then let's go down together. There is nothing interesting in Huxiao Pass. It's just the place where troops are stationed on the border of Julu Kingdom. They are all big and rough garrison troops. Don't walk around when you get there. I'll ask them to take you there. "
The Huxiao Pass area is completely covered with loess plains, and there is not even a sheltered place. This was also one of the important factors in the original site selection of Huxiao Pass.
But this makes it inconvenient for some decent women to solve their physical problems.
But there are probably latrines in Huxiao Pass. After all, the garrison troops stationed there have been fighting in this cold and miserable place for a long time. They cannot solve it everywhere every time. After a long time, the smell and scene are simply unbearable.
"Okay, I won't wander around." She nodded honestly.
But she will definitely leave.
——
The group of them arrived at Huxiao Pass, and Zheng Quchi was still unwilling to give up. In order to verify her guess, she and Gongshu Jiruo got out of the car together.
After she got off the car, she followed Gongshu Jiruo, pretending that she had never seen the world, and observing the surrounding environment. In fact, she was peeking at everything that was wrong.
impossible.
Where are people?
Could it be that she really made a mistake?
But "Zheng" refers to Guanjia'er, Guan Pass. Doesn't this imply that she and Gongshu Jiruo left Wujue Temple together and had to pass through Huxiao Pass on the way to Beiyuan?
"Who is here? What do you want? Take out your passing certificate!"
The guards from the Julu Kingdom on the city tower shouted loudly to the group of people below.
"Gongshu." Gongshu means asking someone to go up and hand over their identity certificate, which is a "talisman."
The guard asked again: "The public loser? Who is the leader?"
The public loser who handed over the "talisman card" said: "It's the public loss of the public loser."
When the guard heard something was wrong with his expression, he took a deep breath and called another guard. He lowered his eyes and glanced at them: "Throw the talisman up!"
The guard did not open the door, but instead made an unusual request, as if he was deliberately guarding them, or perhaps to call someone who could take charge of the matter to identify the authenticity.
Although the people in Gongshujia felt a little strange, they didn't think much about it and threw the "talisman card" up with great force. The person above reached out and fished it up and caught it.
After looking at it twice, he handed it over to the people at the rear. After confirming that it was correct, the guard immediately said politely: "It turns out that it is really the convoy of Gongshu. We have admired you for a long time. Okay, we will let you go immediately."
After the door was opened, Gongshu Jiruo glanced at Zheng Quchi next to him and said to the guard: "Wait a minute, I wonder if we can borrow a place to rest for a while so that we can rest the team before setting off."
"Of course, no problem, please come here." The guard said enthusiastically.
Although they have been guarding the border for many years, the reputation of Gongshu Jiruo has spread so well that travelers often mention it. Of course they know it, but they didn't expect that this time they would be lucky enough to see a real person show up.
He led them to one side, where a small door opened on the side. Inside was a thatched hut for resting, where travelers could sit and rest. The guards had responsibilities and could not stay too long, so he called two A garrison soldier looked on and helped.
These two garrison soldiers looked like little fans of Gongshu. They actually wanted to step forward to help them pull their horses to feed them, but they were stopped by Gongshu Jiruo.
He said coldly: "No need to bother, we will leave after a short rest."
"Oh, then... Gongshu everyone, if you have anything, just call us." The garrison was wearing a brown cloth armor, with a smile on his face. He suddenly glanced sideways and paused in the direction of Zheng Quchi.
But it was fleeting and left no trace.
At this time, Zheng Quchi narrowed her eyes, and after looking at the garrison a few more times, she stepped forward and said, "Can you please tell me where there is a convenient place for women?"
Hearing her question, the garrison was stunned for a moment. He said, "There is a hut in front of here, but it's hard for outsiders to find it. Why don't I take you there."
"Okay." She acted as if she was a little anxious.
But Gongshu Jiruo was not worried about her leaving with a stranger: "I will go with you too."
The two guards looked at each other and said nothing for a while, but Zheng Quchi declined with an embarrassed look on his face: "Gongshu everyone, I, I don't want so many people here, just wait for me here, I will be back soon. "
Seeing her expression of embarrassment, Gongshu thought that as a woman, she would not be happy to be surrounded by men, so he said, "That's good."
The garrison listened to Gongshu Jiruo and listened to the woman's words so much. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the two of them: "This way."
At this time, Gongshu Jiruo said again: "Just one of you can lead the way."
The three of them left in unison.
One of the guards turned back with the same expression. He said: "That's true. Then you can go and take this distinguished guest. I'll guard him here."
"……good."
——
The garrison was walking in front. After he took Zheng Quchi a certain distance away, Zheng Quchi suddenly whispered: "Is it...Fu Rong?"
The garrison's back stiffened and he immediately turned around with a surprised look on his face: "How did you recognize it?!"
His disguise technique was so exquisite that even his colleagues might not be able to spot the flaws at a glance. How did she, an outsider, recognize him?
"Is it really you?" Zheng Quchi said happily.
Fu Rong quickly stepped forward and signaled her to shush: "Madam, please keep your voice down."
When Zheng Quchi heard the word "Madam" now, he frowned reflexively.
"I'm not your wife. Why did you become a soldier of the Julu Kingdom? Where are the others? Are we the only ones at Huxiao Pass now?"
Hearing her denying that she was a madam, Fu Rong thought she was angry because they left her alone in the "Wujue Temple", but now was not a good time to explain.
If she has any dissatisfaction, she should wait for the general to calm her down later.
He said sternly: "Madam, it is not advisable to stay at Huxiao Pass for a long time. The rescue team of Gong Jiruo is coming to join him soon. The general has ordered me to evacuate as soon as possible after receiving you. I will take you to go first, and the general will Then stay in the back and look after you."
"Yu Wensheng is here too?" She looked confused: "Then where is he?"
"The other guard just now was the general. Madam, you recognized me, but not the general?" Fu Rong was speechless.
When Zheng Quchi heard his complaint, he felt that he was even more unjust than Dou E: "I also made a wild guess. You are the only one among us who can disguise himself. I thought that if someone came to help, it would probably be you, so just now Make a sound and test it out.”
"Isn't it said that there is a feeling between husband and wife? Why is there not between you and the general?"
"..." Maybe it's because they are a plastic couple. Oh, no, maybe they are not even a couple, so they have a false name.
Fu Rong just said a few words casually, and handed her something: "Madam, quickly change into this, don't wear this outfit again."
"Okay."
The two of them quickly changed their outfits as they ran.
——
Seeing that Zheng Quchi had left for a while, Gongshu Jiruo began to feel a little unable to sit still. He moved to look for the person, but was blocked by the garrison.
Gongshu Jiruo looked over: "What do you mean?"
I saw a strange smile slowly spread on the garrison's face, like a complete painting being torn apart from the corner of his mouth: "I mean to kill you~"
laugh--
There was a harsh sound of metal intersecting and then staggering. Gongshu Jiruorou took a few steps back. He lowered his head and looked at his chest. There was a scratch on his chest. If he hadn't been wearing gold-threaded armor, he would have collapsed at this moment. Down.
On the contrary, the garrison stood motionless with a smile on his face. His figure was as light as smoke, and he was both soft and long, yet dangerous and sharp.
"Yu, Wen, Sheng?"
Gongshu is just like saying it word by word.
The garrison soldier wore a mask, which was obviously a different face, but it perfectly displayed Yu Wensheng's innate fearful aura: "It seems that you were already prepared, otherwise you wouldn't have reacted so quickly. "
At this time, the people brought by Gongshu Jiruo reacted and quickly gathered around nervously and tremblingly, wanting to protect Gongshu Jiruo, but they were obviously powerless in the face of Yu Wensheng, the "living Yama".
"Unexpectedly, you actually sneaked into Huxiao Pass. I just had a vague idea in my mind. You Yu Wensheng has always acted domineeringly, and you will not give up if you lose one thing. I'm afraid you won't let it go if you lose one person. ." Gongshu Jiruo said mockingly.
Yu Wensheng smiled and clapped his hands and praised: "Even if I lose, you really understand me. I also have a thorn in my throat about people who covet what I have. I have to remove this thorn in my throat to feel at ease."
When Gongshu Jiruo heard this, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger. He told Yu Wensheng clearly: "She is not yours. Is this what you have always said to her? But I have already told her, you guys The last step of the marriage contract has not been completed at all, and if King Ye refuses, you will never be able to marry her in your life."
After Gongshu Jiruo said these words, Yu Wensheng was stunned for a while. He seemed to be unable to understand. He tilted his head and tilted his ears, trying his best to suppress something and said, "What are you talking about?"
Gongshu Jiruo continued to provoke him fearlessly, saying: "You can't take her away, Yu Wensheng. After she knows everything, you don't even have the only excuse to keep her, and she won't believe you anymore." .”
Yu Wensheng stared at him, his eyes like daggers tempered with poison. He said in a low and trembling voice that was gradually losing control: "I no longer want to kill you so easily..."
Blood……
Tick-tock, tick-tock kept dripping from the arm to the fingertips.
Gongshu Jiruo's face was pale and he was holding his injured arm. He looked at Yu Wensheng who was pressing forward step by step. At this moment, the opponent didn't intend to kill him with one sword at all, but wanted to torture him to death.
