Vol 5 Chapter 20: Remind the pulse (two more)

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon of the second day, Ye Xi took Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan with the guards of the Royal Palace of Rong An to catch up with Su Feng Nuan's team.
Su Fengnuan still slept soundly in the carriage.
Ye Xi rode to the front of the car, reached out and knocked on the cowl, and shouted, "Little girl."
Su Fengnuan gave a thick "um", without opening his eyes, he said, "Catch up?"
Ye Xi heard her tone as if she hadn't woken up, glanced at the sky, and said, "I heard people say that you left Xiangnan City last night and you have been sleeping in a carriage. It's noon now, and you haven't slept enough, little girl, you Is it a pig? I can sleep that way."
Su Feng Nuan snorted and asked, "Did the King of Xiang County send someone to catch up?"
Ye Xi said, "Are you drowsy? If the King of Xiangjun sends someone to catch up, you can still sleep so comfortably?"
"Yes." Su Fengnuan said sleepily, "The emperor sent an imperial mission to visit him in the East, so he must be cautious and dare not leave the East easily. If I didn't expect it, he should send someone to fly eagle. Pass the book to the prince, and let the prince send someone to intercept us."
Ye Xi said, "Cheng Gu is the prince's person. Now we have robbed him. The prince will naturally not do it. Feiying Chuanshu has arrived in the capital almost in the middle of the night. The prince must move when he gets the news. I slept, got up and made plans quickly. Now a large number of us are walking the official road in such a stately manner. Doesn't this tell everyone that you are an archery target?"
Su Fengnuan opened her eyes and saw that the county lord of Zijing was still sitting quietly in the corner, listening to her talking to Ye Xi, she stretched her waist, sat up, raised the curtain, leaned on the cowl and watched riding on the horse. Ye Xi, he was a dusty servant, it seemed that he caught up with her in the middle of the night and a half day, obviously Bi Xuan Pavilion's team was not slow.
She woke up and took a nap, and said to Ye Xi, "After the eldest prince returned to Beijing, how many pairs of eyes stared at him, especially since he is now in prison, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are watching him. He dare not act rashly. After receiving the Feiying Biography from the King of Xiangjun, he had the intention to intercept it, and he had to act carefully, not dare to make big moves, for fear of suspicion. So, ignore him, we just went to the official road and went all the way to the West."
Ye Xi looked at her, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Su Fengnuan nodded, "When the prince was a prince, he was rarely seen in front of others. After he became a prince, everyone almost forgot about him. Now he is the prince again and he is still in prison. Countless people suddenly noticed him. He was accustomed to acting in secret, and suddenly exposed in front of people. He was definitely not used to it. He felt that he was at a loss everywhere. Even if someone was sent to intercept, he did not dare to mobilize a large number of people, a few fish Shrimp, why are you afraid? Just leave."
Ye Xi nodded, "It's reasonable. Since that's the case, I don't have to worry about it." After the words came, he said, "Little girl, you have enough sleep, it's my turn?"
Su Fengnuan said, "Okay, you get in the car and I ride a horse."
Ye Xi was not polite when he heard that, so he got off his horse and jumped into the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, he saw the Bauhinia county lord in the corner, a weak and weak daughter's house, very quiet, so quiet that he hardly found her in Su Fengnuan's car, he was taken aback.
The owner of Bauhinia County didn't expect Ye Xi to get into the cart when he said he got on the cart. She was also startled when he saw him getting into the cart neatly.
Su Fengnuan seemed to have forgotten the difference between men and women. The first time Ye Xi got in the car, he jumped out and flew on his horse.
Ye Xi only froze for a while, then lay down indifferently, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The Bauhinia County Lord was stunned for a moment and saw that Ye Xi was lying on the place where Su Fengnuan lay earlier, pulling the thin quilt she had covered on her body, and within a moment, he fell asleep, without any consideration of manners. Even more disregarding that there is another woman in the car who is different between her sexes, as if she did not treat her as a woman.
She had never seen such seniors.
Although she also knows that it is said that people who are used to life on the rivers and lakes all demand that the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, but their identities are not just the children of the rivers and lakes. One is a young lady from the General House of Su Da, and the other is the son of Jiangnan Ye Family. They are all well-regulated families. Such casualness is really rare.
She remembered the rumors about Su Fengnuan, and also the rumors about Ye Xi, thinking that the rumors were not groundless.
She hesitated for a moment, opened the curtain and said to Su Fengnuan who was riding on the horse, "Sister Su, can I ride with you?"
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan didn't expect the little county lord to speak to her. She thought she had gone through many twists and turns and became a quiet dumb. Especially when she called her sister Su, she didn't feel hostage at all.
The owner of Bauhinia County glanced at Ye Xi who was already asleep, and said to Su Fengnuan, "I have been sitting for a long time, my legs and feet are numb, and I don't want to be stuffy in the car. I want to move around and get some breath."
When Su Fengnuan saw her look at Ye Xi, she remembered that she is the county head after all. The rules for men and women have been engraved in her bones since she was a child. Even as a hostage, she couldn’t do the same thing as a man in a car, so she nodded. , Said to her, "Yes, but can you ride a horse?"
Bauhinia County Lord said, "Yes, I have also learned riding and shooting for a few days since I was a kid."
Su Feng Nuan nodded, approached the front of the car, and handed her his hand.
The owner of Zijing County placed his hand in Su Fengnuan's.
Su Fengnuan stretched out her hand to grab her, and when she didn't see her hard, she pulled her on the horse easily, and after sitting on her horse, she told her, "Hold me a little bit, don't fall."
The Lord Bauhinia nodded.
When the elders of Bixuan Pavilion saw Su Fengnuan carrying the Lord of Zijing on a ride, they all thought that the daughter of the King of Xiang County was somewhat different from other women. It's very quiet without crying or making trouble.
Compared with the owner of Bauhinia County, Shen Zhilan, who was in the car, woke up and found herself tied up. She was shocked and asked who had tied her up? When no one was paying attention to her, she yelled, and the people of Bi Xuan Pavilion gagged her mouth with something before she became quiet.
The same hostage, Su Fengnuan treated the owner of Zijing County much more tenderly, and treated Shen Zhilan rather rudely, and tied her up when they met.
The people of Bi Xuan Pavilion heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegance. As early as the news of the Hong Fen Lou to Bi Xuan Pavilion, they heard that Shen Zhilan liked Ye Shizi, and her master beat once, but unexpectedly did not realize that she was a secret road in the capital. The culprit of the case, the deep hidden martial arts, originally stayed in the Hongfenlou and ran out secretly. Now that he fell into the hands of the master, he would naturally not be polite to her.
Cheng Gu voluntarily followed Ye Xi, but he did not resist, so he was naturally courteous and sat alone in a carriage.
He Zhi rode beside the carriage.
The team progressed very smoothly, no one intercepted it along the way, even Su Feng Nuan did not expect that the prince would send a few people to intercept it, and it went smoothly after a few days.
Shen Zhilan still had some hope at first. Hearing someone outside the car talking about Su Fengnuan, like a head of cold water splashing down, she felt cold all over. She never dreamed that Su Fengnuan would go to Xiangnan and rob Cheng Gu, her, the owner of Zijing County, and the dart.
In the past few days, Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi took turns to sleep in the carriages. Su Fengnuan got on the car, and the owner of Zijing County also slept with the car. Su Fengnuan rode horses with her, and she was still very quiet.
After a few days of such a quiet person, Ye Xi glanced at her more and became curious, and asked her, "Little sister, are you not afraid? I have never seen a hostage like you."
The owner of Bauhinia County, riding on Su Feng Nuan’s horse, turned to look at Ye Xi, and said to him,
Three years ago, I cried and freak out, but found that these were useless. Now my dad doesn’t save me, but wants to kill. I, I'm not even afraid of death anymore, what else are I afraid of?"
Ye Xi nodded and said to her, "Take a caretaker in the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion. You are pitiful enough. You have paid for the Xiangjun Prince's ambition."
Su Fengnuan rolled his eyes, "Brother, which woman in the world is not pitiful?"
Ye Xi stared, "Are you pitiful? Why didn't I see it."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a while.
The owner of Bauhinia County said to Ye Xi,
I’m not pitiful. I was born in the Prince’s Mansion of Xiang County. I wear gold, silver, and beautiful silk. I don’t have to worry about food and clothes. I don’t wear warm clothes than when I was a child. The woman who works is much stronger. After enjoying what he has given, she naturally has to bear his burden."
Ye Xi said, "That's what I said."
The Lord Bauhinia no longer speaks.
Ye Xi looked at her, blinked, and then asked for something to say, "A tiger poison can't eat children, the king of Xiangjun is so cruel, even his own daughter will be killed. Is the legendary king of Xiangjun petting you fake?"
The owner of Bauhinia County shook his head, "Before, he did spoil me very much, but that was before, since I was arrested in Peicheng, I am not his daughter." After the words fell, he added, "So, sister Su, Ye Son, you arrested me, half a thread is useless and can't threaten him."
Ye Xi looked at Su Fengnuan after hearing this.
Su Fengnuan looked back at her and said, "It's easy to catch you. I mainly catch Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan. As for you, although the King of Xiang County doesn't even care about your life, few people know this. The king of Xiangjun can care about your life or death, but he has always been known as a virtuous king in the east. He loves his people like his son, and his daughter is also his subject. In front of the world, he will not ignore You live, or you will be criticized. The virtuous name he has maintained so hard over the years has been ruined. Therefore, it is useful for your Bauhinia County Lord's name to contain him at critical moments."
Bauhinia County Lord heard the words and said nothing.
Ye Xi smiled "ha", "Junior sister, who are you calculating, who is really bad luck in eight lifetimes, the king of Xiangjun met you, can only say that he is empty and ambitious, and his birth is not in time." The words fell. He fell off the curtain, lay back in the car, yawned and closed his eyes, and said, "One more sleep, and I will probably be able to reach the West when I wake up. My cousin is afraid that you want to be crazy, right? Because of sleepiness and inability to swallow, I remind you to get your pulse well."
