Shu Blossoms

Chapter 148
A news quietly spread in the restaurants and teahouses in Jiankang City, that Da Wei actually publicly auctioned the princess of Da Zhou, which is a great shame.

But there is no real evidence for this matter, and everyone dares to discuss it in private.

"Hey, Mr. Zheng, do you think this is true? If it's true, your Majesty won't be furious?"

"I don't think so. Our Princess of the Great Zhou is so good at staying at home, who would have the guts to go home and kidnap someone?"

"Don't tell me, I don't seem to have seen Princess Danyang's princess these days," another person suddenly interjected.

"That's right, she used to go to the Martial Academy every day from the street in front of the West Market, and she would often accompany that little maid to come out for a stroll, but since that Xie Hui was driven away, she has never been seen again!"

"Couldn't it be Princess Danyang who was taken away?" Someone thought of someone who might look around and lowered his voice and whispered to the people around him.

"No, I heard that the princess secretly accompanied the army to kill the enemy a few days ago. Do you think she can not get hurt at such a young age? She couldn't get up after being seriously injured. The princess was so angry that she banned her from death, saying that she was the last one. She is not allowed to go out before the Lantern Festival."

After the one named Zheng Laosan finished speaking, someone continued: "The news is spreading all over the place now, and it will hurt the princess's reputation. It won't be a problem in the long run!"

Zheng Laosan was not convinced, and said: "Zhao Laosi, what do you mean? The clearer will clear up by himself. How can this matter be clarified? I can't let the princess stand on the street and shout that I have not been kidnapped by Wei. It's all rumors from those villains!"

"Why shout so loudly, as long as the princess is in a carriage or goes out for a walk, as long as someone sees the princess, won't this rumor be broken without attack?"

"Oh, yes!"

From that day on, people would pass by the gate of Zheng's mansion from time to time, looking towards the gate of Zheng's mansion.

On this day, the gate of Zheng Mansion finally opened, and a carriage parked outside the gate.

Everyone guessed that these are the old men of the Zheng family who are going out?

Not long after, a petite figure came out of the door. This person was wearing the silver-red long gown that the princess often wears, and his black hair was tied up high, looking cute and cute.

Although in fact they never dared to look directly at the Princess Mistress, and they couldn't see her face clearly from a distance, but they knew that this was the Princess Danyang who was so uncompromising in Jiankang City.

Didn't you see that the little maid who usually followed the princess was carefully serving her back and forth? It seemed that the injury was not healed yet, and she had to be supported when she walked.

The onlookers all understood that this was all a rumor made by someone who had suffered thousands of knives, forcing the princess to drag his wounded body to prove his innocence.

The common people seemed to see the pale and thin face of the princess, and couldn't help feeling even more distressed.

The princess is only a child, and she can go to battle to kill the enemy and protect us people who are powerless. How could someone be so cruel to bully her!
The damselfly was wearing Zheng Wei's usual clothes, and A Qiao helped her into the carriage and went around the West Market, bought a lot of tea, fruit and snacks, and then slowly returned to the residence.

On the second day and the third day, the damselfly went to the Martial Academy again in a carriage, and returned to the mansion after staying for less than an hour.

For several days in a row, the damselflies dragged their "injured bodies" and went out at the same time every day to "relax". Many soft-hearted old people couldn't see it, and they knelt down and kowtowed towards the carriage from a distance, shouting: "We We all know that the princess is innocent, and please take good care of the princess, and let the people of Wei take a good look at the majesty of our princess in the next year!"

With this person taking the lead, more and more people kowtowed one after another, shouting: "Please take care of your health, Princess Princess!"

Aqiao got down from the carriage, bowed to the people kneeling on the ground, and said: "Everyone, please hurry up, the princess drags the slaves to thank the aunts and aunts for their pity, and when the princess is healthy, I will come to thank you personally Everyone!"

Saying that, A-Qiao bowed solemnly to salute, then turned and returned to the carriage.

After a while, the carriage slowly left the West Market.

At the same time, in a village in the western suburbs outside Jiankang City, a group of young people gathered.

Now Xiao Yucheng on the top turned his head to look at Zheng Heng, "Have all your people arrived yet?"

Standing beside Zheng Heng were Ma Xingyun, Hao Zesong, Zhang Da, Zhang Er, Yuan Wang, and Liu Yuan, the second son of the Liu family who followed Yuan Wang.

Zheng Heng asked Yuan Wang and Liu Yuan, "Think clearly, this trip is full of difficulties, extremely difficult, and no one can guarantee that we will be able to escape unscathed!"

Yuan Wang turned to Liu Yuan and said, "We all have reasons to go, brother Liu should not take this muddy water."

Liu Yuan also hesitated when he heard the words, but for some reason he just didn't want to go home. He racked his brains for a long time, then straightened his back and said, "I...I want to prove my innocence!"

Everyone was puzzled, Liu Yuan said bluntly: "Although I... I know that the princess is not in the capital, I never told anyone else! It's definitely not that I spread rumors to frame the princess!"

Zheng Heng and Yuan Wang helplessly patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder, and said seriously: "We believe in you! You can't think of such an idea!"

Seeing that they believed in him, Liu Yuan couldn't help grinning, but felt that something was wrong, so he was determined not to go back, "I have already left a letter to my father. My father can't go back to his hometown Wen County this year to worship the ancestors, so I will go back for him. And I Let my entourage really go to Wen County."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zheng Heng proudly, "I'm smart, I will never leak the news!"

Xiao Yucheng's eyes flickered when he heard Liu Yuan's words, and he suddenly asked, "Where are your followers at this time?"

Liu Yuan was taken aback by the question, seeing Xiao Yucheng staring at him, he replied honestly: "We should leave the city now!"

Xiao Yucheng pondered for a while, and looked at the ten people he brought out, "You are all good soldiers in the army, but this trip to the Great Wei is different from previous battles. The most important thing is to hide yourself. If you are unfortunately captured, we have no reinforcements. Everyone prepare for the worst."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zheng Heng and the others again, "You too, no matter what your identities are, we will all be prosperous in the coming days, and we will all be hurt. We must get to know each other as soon as possible, trust each other, and strive to find the princess as soon as possible , back to Jiankang."

Everyone nodded, Xiao Yucheng's voice changed from gentle to stern, "Yuan Wang, Liu Yuan and you two were not from the army. I must remind you that His Majesty ordered me to lead this trip. Since you want to join, you must obey the military order. If you insist on going your own way, If you disobey the military order, don't blame me for the military law!"

Yuan Wang and Liu Yuan not only didn't feel afraid, but felt a sense of excitement. They straightened their backs and shouted loudly: "Yes!"

Xiao Yucheng nodded, and gave the first order, "Alright, Liu Yuan, I'll borrow something from your house!"

"what!"

It wasn't until Liu Yuan returned to the merchant ship rented by the Liu family, saw Zhang Da and Zhang Er dressed as servants, and then looked at Xiao Yucheng, Zheng Heng, and Yuan Wang who were pretending to be his cousins, that he understood Xiao Yucheng. the meaning of.

This is to use Liu's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors as a cover, and go all the way to the Great Wei incognito.

When they went all the way north, in the side hall of Xianyang Palace in the capital city, Emperor Zhou sat at the head and asked Mu Wu: "Should they start now?"

Mu Wu leaned over and replied, "Xiao Yucheng took them on the boat rented by the Liu family, and pretended to be the children of the Liu family to return home to worship their ancestors."
