As expected, no one could stop Pan Duo.
In the houses next to the stables, little lights lit up.
Several servants walked out sleepily wearing clothes.
They couldn't figure out what was going on with the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs outside, but the prince-in-law wanted to harness the chariot, so they had to work hard.
Without much effort, a carriage was already hitched.
The groom was yawning and was about to drive his horse when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a handsome "little nurse". Just because he took a second look, he was bumped away by Li Shengui's shoulder.
The groom, who had not yet woken up, suddenly became energetic. He looked at the tall nurse who deliberately bumped into him with an annoyed look on his face, but found that he had never seen this person before.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to question, Da Xiwu pushed Li Shengui away.
He smiled playfully at the groom and said: "Brother, I have offended you, I have offended you. We are the guardians of the Jiangxia Palace. My brother lost a few coins in gambling last night. Is he upset? I hope you can understand me."
"You shouldn't be annoyed..."
The coachman was just about to yell, but a piece of gold was stuffed into his hand by this sensible young man. At this time, he couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.
He smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just think he bumped into me accidentally and it's not a problem."
"This trip will be escorted by our Jiangxia Prince's Mansion. I won't bother you anymore. I'll see you another day. I'll treat you to a drink."
The groom's mouth reached to the base of his ears. This young man came to the road, and there was such a good thing.
The groom said politely: "It's just that...this is a bit against the rules of the house!"
"Hey, it doesn't matter, our young prince is also in the car! Besides, Jiangxia Prince's Mansion and the Eldest Princess' Mansion are from the same family, both surnamed Xiao!" Da Xiwu smiled and shook the groom's hand, and the piece of gold was The groom tightened his grip.
At this time, Pan Duo's head emerged from the window of the van.
"What are you still doing there? Leave quickly!"
"Here, I'm here, little man." Da Xiwu replied diligently, leaving the driver alone and driving the car himself.
There was a moment in this process when Da Xiwu turned around and gave Li Shengui a hard look, which seemed to tell him that he must be careful when acting outside.
Li Shengui snorted coldly, and worked together with Xiao Yu to drag the two drunkards onto the carriage.
The wheels started slowly, and the carriage left the stable and headed east.
The groom stood there, blinking, a little confused.
The Prince Consort didn't have to drive a car when he went out, and he also got a nugget of gold for free. Is there such a good thing?
But... the side entrance of the carriage is obviously in the west, so why does the carriage go east?
…
The noise behind him gradually subsided.
Da Xiwu sat in the driver's seat and controlled the carriage, and Xiao Yu sat next to him.
Li Shengui and Xi Kangsheng could only walk and followed the carriage as guards.
Only Hu Xianzhen and the three drunk guys were sitting in the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly and passed the gate of the house.
There was a little fire here, and the burning torches illuminated everything here.
Two hundred heavily armed elite Imperial Guards are guarding this place.
Their military discipline is strict and there are many swords and guns, giving people a sense of chilling.
Encountering this scene, the three generals from the Northern Dynasty couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously put their hands on the ring-headed swords at their waists.
Suddenly, a gatekeeper general wearing Mingguang armor walked out from among the soldiers, stretched out his hand towards the carriage: "Stop!"
The carriage slowly stopped in place, and Xiao Yu and Da Xiwu looked at each other.
Da Xiwu nodded slightly, jumped down from the carriage, put on a philistine and smooth look, nodded and bowed:
"What's the matter, General?"
"Who is sitting in the car? Where are they going in the middle of the night?"
"In the car are the Prince Consort and two husbands, Yao Jinghong and Li Kan." Da Xiwu replied respectfully, "The Prince Consort and several court guests were having a drink tonight. When they were happy, they said... they were going to Zuiyue Tower. .”
"Zuiyue Tower? But there is a curfew outside. How to get to Zuiyue Tower?" The general looked suspicious, "Then let's ask the Prince Consort to come out and talk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Duo suddenly opened the car window and said with a drunken look on his face: "Why did the car stop? Why don't you leave quickly!"
Da Xiwu was a very alert man, so he took advantage of the situation and turned around and said: "Consort, this general is checking on the little people, so he delayed the consort's time."
"Whoever he thinks is suspicious, just keep him out of the way of my consort." Pan Duo yelled.
The general was not stupid. Seeing that the real master had appeared, he hurriedly came to the carriage and bowed his hands: "I have seen the prince consort."
"Quickly give way, don't waste my consort's time. Once the spring night is over, it will be boring!"
"Please forgive me, Prince-in-law. The young general is responsible for his duties, so he dare not open the door lightly. Besides... the carriage did not go through the door."
Pan Duo's eyes widened on his red face: "What, this is in my house, how I want to get out is my business!"
"Please forgive me, Prince Consort." The general said and lowered his head a little more.
"That's unreasonable! The eldest princess has never restricted my consort's freedom. Today, you, a petty official like you, have taken control of me. I'm so angry!"
"You don't dare, young general. The young general only has military orders and is responsible for guarding the gate of the palace. No one can enter or leave...unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless there is a military order from General Zhige, the young general's duty is here. I hope that the prince-in-law will not embarrass the young general. Something big happened in the house. One of the court guests was stabbed. I am afraid that the assassin has not been caught. The young general is doing this for the same reason. Hello, Prince Consort."
Hearing "A guest was stabbed", Pan Duo's drunkenness seemed to have subsided a little, and he was stunned when he saw the current position of the carriage.
At this time, Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had his heart in his throat. He glanced at Da Xiwu, who was nearest to him.
The young general's face was still calm and respectful, but one of his hands had already touched the ring-headed sword at his waist.
One can imagine what Xi Kangsheng and Li Shengui, the two "evil stars" on the battlefield, are doing at this time.
Pan Duo seemed to have thought of something again. He turned around suddenly and saw Hu Xinzhen, who was disguised as a man. He was looking at him with a serious face, which made him confused again.
But Pan Duo, who has met countless people, can tell at a glance that she is a woman, a woman who is comparable to Xiao Yuwan in terms of beauty.
"Xiao Dalang!" Pan Duo suddenly shouted.
"Why!"
Xiao Yu's back trembled. He turned around and smiled dryly at Pan Duo. There was already a thin layer of sweat on his temples.
Pan Duo pulled Xiao Yu into the car as if there was no one around and closed the door.
People outside were stunned.
In the carriage, Pan Duo pointed at Hu Xianzhen and asked: "Who is this? I knew you wanted to go out, so you must have no good intentions. You actually brought private goods here! I really misjudged you!"
Xiao Yu still smiled dryly. He really hadn't thought about how to deal with this situation. The current game of chess would be a dead end if he didn't play well.
His brain was spinning rapidly while he was talking randomly: "Pan Consort... Hey... Brother Zhiming... I have no ill intentions. How should I say this?"
"I know you don't mean any harm!" Pan Duo blinked, "Ah? Do you still want to harm others?"
"I didn't mean that!"
"Then tell me, who is this little girl? When did you have such a beautiful mistress? How could I not know? Xiao Dalang, I really misjudged you. I originally thought you were a clean and honest gentleman. You and Qingxue are in front of outsiders. Are those all fake, just for people to see? I didn’t expect you to be so dirty and dirty... I didn’t expect you to be the romantic in the fireworks and willow alley, the vanguard of the hooks and tiles..."
Xiao Yu was at a loss when Hu Xianzhen threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms and said softly: "Xiao Lang, you don't tell anyone about this slave. It turns out you have a lover in your private house. Who is Qingxue? Which brothel prostitute?" From the hotel, I will go meet her someday and see who is more colorful."
Pan Duo had a look of disdain on his face: "The smell of sex on your body makes me feel sick when I smell it. It can't be as good as Qingxue's body fragrance."
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and prayed: "Brother Zhiming, I don't dare let the eldest princess know about this matter. It is disgraceful to have a private meeting with a foreign daughter in your house, and it will bring shame to your house!"
"You still know this!" Pan Duo seemed a little angry.
Xiao Yu looked irritated: "Hey, we all went together. I heard that an assassin came to the house tonight and is under martial law? During the day, I asked Zhang Yong and the others to take Ling'er into the house. I just wanted to meet him secretly. Yes, who knows..."
"Okay, okay, stop complaining." Pan Duo waved his hand, "I'll help you this time, but you have to promise me a few things."
"A few will do!"
"Well... I haven't thought of that many things for the time being, but there is one thing right now. There will be a poetry meeting at Wangjiang Pavilion in Lulong Mountain in a while. You have to come with me to join in the fun!"
"That's easy to say, I'll think of some poems in advance!"
"It's a deal!"
Hu Xianzhen was lying on Xiao Yu's body, her peach blossom eyes were charming and deadly. At that moment, she really thought of herself as a prostitute.
She carefully observed every detail between the two men's words, which made her a little more wary of the skinny Consort Pan.
Although he has been following Xiao Yu's wishes, he is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface.
And every look he looked at him seemed to contain a warning, which made Hu Xianzhen slowly restrain his exposed murderous intention.
"Then send this woman back tonight...she...which brothel does she belong to?" Pan Duo said
Hu Xianzhen said with a foxy face: "I'm staying at Chunxiang Huafang. Just walk ten miles to Qinhuai. When you get there, I will naturally ask you to get off. Tonight... I will make your trip worthwhile."
"High enough." Pan Duo said.
There seemed to be murderous intent in Hu Xianzhen's words, which made Xiao Yu sweat. He glanced at Hu Xianzhen.
Hu Xianzhen smiled at him, that smile was affectionate and charming, and a man couldn't resist this temptation.
About two hours ago, Hu Xianzhen was still parting with Yang Hua.
In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have forgotten about Yang Hua's suicide because of her, and used her charm on the other man.
This woman is really terrifying...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's body, which had some physiological reactions, immediately withered.
Hu Xianzhen immediately got up from Xiao Yu's body, his eyes full of sorrow, and he beat Xiao Yu's chest twice.
Seeing this scene, Pan Duo shook his head and opened the car door.
A group of people outside the car door were still standing in their original positions.
Pan Duo cleared his throat: "Stop talking nonsense! My consort is going out tonight!"
The three Northern Dynasty generals who had their hands on their weapons finally breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't help but admire Xiao Yu even more.
"But General Zhige has an order. As a general, you must obey orders and prohibitions. The young general dare not disobey the order!"
"Then call Pei Zhi over and I'll have a nice talk with him."
This made the gatekeeper general a little embarrassed. He buried his head between his arms and did not look up for a long time.
"Did you hear that? Go quickly! Is it so difficult to ask for an order?"
"Husband-in-law, there is a curfew outside. If you go out, you will be caught and interrogated by the Five Guards. Why don't you...catch the assassin tomorrow, the sentry has been withdrawn, and go out again...it's not too late to go out again..."
Pan Duo was so angry that he really wanted to find something to hit the ignorant general with.
At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the door of the mansion. After a while, the door of the mansion opened, and a group of soldiers who opened the way came in.
This was followed by a hearty, familiar laugh.
"Haha...Brother Zhiming, I heard your voice outside the door, why are you so angry here?"
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the door of the mansion.
After the four lanterns entered one after another, a court official wearing an Erliang Jinxian crown, a vermilion court dress, and a silver medal and green ribbon walked in.
When the general guarding the gate saw the incoming man, he quickly stepped aside and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Yu recognized him at a glance. He was the emperor's ministers, Zhu Yi and Zhu Yanhe, who he met at the carriage and horse shop in the eastern suburbs of Jiankang more than half a month ago and who gave him a box of literary toys.
But it's so late, why is he here? And he brought many soldiers with him.
If it weren't for Zhu Yi's friendly face, I would have thought he was here to ransack the house!
"Brother Yanhe, why did you enter the house like this?" Pan Duo got out of the car and greeted him.
Zhu Yi also cupped his hands: "The emperor has received news that an assassin has entered the palace to assassinate the eldest princess. He has sent me, the temporary leading general, to protect the eldest princess and capture the assassin."
Xiao Yu sneered in his heart. Such a big battle was just to catch the assassin. Xiao Yuheng was really fond of him. There were still many people on the whole street outside. Wouldn't it mean that the people of the Fifth Guards and the Fifth Colonel were included? Have you all been transferred?
"You're just a thief, why do you need to bother Yan and brother? I'm here to thank Yan and brother on behalf of the eldest princess."
"The Prince Consort is so polite. To catch the assassin and protect the safety of the capital is the duty of the lower official. How can I say thank you?"
When Zhu Yi said this, he looked Pan Duo up and down. Seeing that he was disheveled and smelling of alcohol, he couldn't help but be curious.
He then looked at the carriage blocking the gate of the mansion and several impressive entourage, and he recognized Xiao Yu at a glance, who was wearing nursing clothes.
Zhu Yi looked at Pan Duo and then at Xiao Yu: "This is..."
"Go to Zuiyue Tower!" Pan Duo replied.
Zhu Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Then please ask the prince-in-law to get in the car and go down to meet the eldest princess..."
"They won't let me leave the mansion." Pan Duo said angrily.
Zhu Yi followed Pan Duo's gaze and looked at the gatekeeper general who was lowering his head. He snorted coldly: "Who is so bold and dares to block the Prince Consort's carriage? I think you want to stand at the city gate!"
The general quickly knelt down and said, "Forgive me, the leading general, but the young general also acted according to the order!"
"I am the leading general, commanding all the armies in the capital, and making way for the Prince Consort Captain!"
The young general quickly kowtowed and accepted the order.
Even if the matter was settled, Zhu Yi and Pan Duo chatted a few more words.
Zhu Yi smiled and said: "The prince-in-law is really anxious when he goes out. The carriage does not go through the side door, but has to come to the main entrance of the mansion. Can it get out?"
Xiao Yu on the side suddenly realized after hearing this. He had actually ignored this after traveling for such a long time.
He urged Da Xiwu to drive the carriage here, which was originally a suspicious thing for several people.
If Pan Duo wasn't in the car, they might have been arrested by the imperial troops.
Pan Duozuo suddenly realized: "I'm really ashamed. I drank too much and drove the driver away. I drove here without knowing it. Thank you Yan and brother for reminding me."
"Haha..." Zhu Yi stroked his beard, "I'm afraid it's not the prince-in-law's mistake! This must be Xiao Langjun's doing."
After saying this, Zhu Yi bowed deeply to Xiao Yu, just like he did at the carriage shop that day.
"I have met the Crown Prince of Jiangxia!"
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned: "Okay, okay..."
