Chapter 128 oasis meet mountain thief
Feng Xuanrui, accompanied by his wife, was very happy in Gannan. After receiving the imperial edict to let him return to Beijing, he felt that his sexual taste was dull.
"Gannan is a place with simple folk customs, and there are no dirty things of intrigue in Beijing. If there is no war, I would really like to live with you under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely."
Shangguan Yue's eyes turned. "You are a prince. I'm afraid it's not your wishful thinking to be a rich man comfortably. You have the self-respect of supporting soldiers at the border and don't want to go back to Beijing. Do you want to resist the decree? However, the emperor only ordered you to return to Beijing, but did not limit when you would return to Beijing. We might as well travel all the way and enjoy ourselves before returning to Beijing."
Feng Xuanrui sighed, "You are full of bad water. Now I see your eyes turn and my calf turns. Don't press me with your father. If you want to play, I will accompany you. However, with a large group of guards, how can you enjoy yourself?"
"I have an idea, let's mend the plank road and secretly cross Akang. Let the guards slowly return to Beijing with great fanfare. As for us, disguise ourselves and go from another road, which is supposed to make up for our honeymoon."
"Good idea!" Feng Xuanrui had already obeyed Shangguan Yue and obeyed his orders. At the moment, she is right, and her head is even more like a chicken pecking rice.
Yan Zi Ning heard it outside the house and stepped in. "Prince, princess, you can't leave me when you go to play."
Feng Xuanrui is now eager to keep up with Guan Yue alone for 12 hours a day. Which would Yan Zi coagulate get involved? Since knowing that Yan Zi Ning was thinking about himself, he has been staying at a respectful distance from this woman. On the contrary, Shangguan Yue was generous, as if he didn't know about it.
However, Yan Zi Ning was brought by Shangguan Yue and had just made great contributions. He could not refuse and had to take a look at Shangguan Yue for help.
Shangguan Yue certainly knew what Feng Xuanrui meant. She took Yan Zi Ning's hand and smiled: "Zi Ning, I was about to tell you something."
Yan Zi Ning was a little uneasy. "The princess has something to say, so don't be so polite to me."
"I want you to dress up as me and Xue Meng as the prince. You will slowly return to Beijing from the main road. I will go out for a stroll with the prince and soon return to Beijing to meet you."
Yan Zining was very wronged. "Let's come all the way to Gannan. Why should I go back alone? Xue Meng is a fool. I can't get along with him. I don't want to go all the way with him."
Xue Meng was very angry, "you don't want to go all the way with me, do you think I am willing to ah. The prince can't think of supporting me. You and the princess have no one to serve on the road. Besides, this war-torn, leave you and the princess, and my mother can't scold me to death when you go back to the government."
Feng Xuanrui spat at him, "smelly boy, don't use the nurse as an excuse. I'm on the road with the princess. What's wrong with you? I ask you, do you have me in kung fu? Can your head turn around the princess? It's settled. You two go with the guards. The princess and I will go to my two-person world."
Xue Meng and Yan Zi Ning reluctantly left. Feng Xuanrui and Shangguan Yue thought the matter had been solved. They didn't want to open the door the next day when two heavily armed men and women blindsided them.
Feng Xuanrui was in distress situation. "You two have discussed this, intentionally."
Yan Zining said coldly, "Whoever discussed with him, I said earlier, where the prince and princess are, I will be there, and it has nothing to do with Xue Meng."
Xue Meng did not squint. "From childhood to adulthood, I have never left the sovereign. The sovereign cannot value color over friends. When he marries his wife, he throws me aside."
Feng Xuanrui said bitterly, "When I go back to Wangfu and sue you in front of Lan Xi, there will be good fruit to eat."
Xue Meng beamed, "Your Majesty, you agree, I will lead the horse for you."
Yan Zining scoffed. "I am ready. When you are ready, the day lily will be cold."
Feng Xuanrui and Shangguan Yue changed into the costumes of rich young masters and housewives. Xue Meng dressed as a page and Yan Zi Ning dressed as a servant girl. A line of four people slipped out of the gate and walked along.
On the way, Xue Meng and Yan Zi Ning bickered with each other, and Feng Xuanrui and Shangguan Yue advised from time to time, which was also lively.
At a fork in the road, Feng Xuanrui said, "All the way to the west here is Luoyi, the imperial city of western Chongqing, and to the south is Yongcheng, the imperial city of Daliang."
Shangguan Yue's mind moved. "I have never been to Xiyu. Why don't we go to Luoyi to see the exotic customs there?"
Feng Xuanrui understood her mind after a little thought. "OK, let's go to Luoyi."
In the afternoon, an endless piece of gold appeared in front of the four men, and countless folds of sand and gravel surged like solidified waves, extending to the distant golden horizon.
Feng Xuanrui said with a smile: "Through this desert, it is Xiyu."
Shangguan Wei was a little worried. "Isn't it necessary to ride a camel across the desert? Will our horse have a problem?"
"I am very familiar with the terrain of hundreds of miles around here. The scale of this desert is not large. There is an oasis not far ahead. We will rest in the oasis tonight."
Feng Xuanrui was right. At dusk, an oasis miraculously appeared on the horizon in the distance.
The four men rode their horses and whipped happily to the front. I saw the green willows in the oasis shade, reflected on a rippling lake. It's just that the village where smoke curled up from kitchen chimneys in the past was silent, and there was no fireworks, let alone figures.
Xue Meng shuddered, "Prince, I remember the last time we came, there was a market, which was very prosperous. Even if there is no market today, it is getting late, but the people in the village should cook at this time, but the village is not even popular at all, which is a bit abnormal."
Feng Xuanrui also noticed, "There is something strange here. Regardless of this, let's go to the village and have a look."
Four people led the horse and slowly walked into the village.
Every household in the village closed its doors, and the dogs that used to have fun everywhere disappeared. There was a chill in the vests of four people.
Xue Meng pushed open a courtyard and shouted, "Is there anyone in the house? We are passers-by. We pass by here and want to stay."
He walked around the room and found that there was really no one. I have walked several times in a row, all of which are the same.
Shangguan Wei had a sensitive hearing and suddenly said, "There are few people coming at the entrance of the village, and they are still riding horses, not like villagers."
Feng Xuanrui remembered that mountain thieves were rampant in this area and couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "No, we met mountain thieves."
When the voice fell, only a cry was heard. They had been surrounded by a group of people dressed strangely and armed with all kinds of strange weapons.
The first man grinned grimly. "I finally saw a few living people. I thought that this trip was going to be a hero for nothing."
Feng Xuanrui's two sides fuels and raised their heads. "We are passers-by. It's getting late. We just want to stay here. Dare to ask the hero's name."
"Lao Zi does not change his name to sit or change his surname, and the Tianshan Mountains have no shadowless feet and horses."
Ma Liu looked up and down at several people in Feng Xuanrui, and saw that they were well dressed and bulging on horseback. It was estimated that there was a lot of money, and they laughed happily.
"Brothers, let's send this trip!"
