No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 452 Play ugly?no need

Early in the morning, just after dawn, General Luo rushed into the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Fortunately, it was still early at this time, and no one saw it, otherwise outsiders might think that General Luo was finally dissatisfied with his powerful son-in-law and was about to call on him.

Of course, it is not wrong to say that it is a door-to-door call.

Luo Yun slammed a letter onto the table in front of Xie Yan, and said angrily, "Xie Yan, what's going on!"

Today is not an early court day, but the regent is already sitting in the study neatly and calmly, as if waiting for his arrival.

Xie Yan glanced down at the letter on the table, and said, "What Yao Yao wrote in the letter is the truth."

"Bastard!" Luo Yun's roar almost resounded through the entire courtyard, and Duo Ying and Xi Ying, who were guarding the door, looked at each other, worrying about the prince's safety again.

However, if the old man wants to beat his son-in-law, it seems that it is not easy for them as subordinates to intervene.Fortunately, General Luo seemed unable to beat the prince.

Luo Yun glared at Xie Yan angrily and said, "How old is Yaoyao? You don't know what's going on in Qingzhou now, so you dare to let her deal with it?! What if something happens..." Thinking that he hadn't done his best to support him for more than ten years Luo Yun couldn't help turning red eyes to his daughter who was still so well-behaved and filial.

Luo Yun also knew that it was impossible for Xie Yan to ask his daughter to go there on his own initiative, but because he insisted on going, Xie Yan couldn't persuade her that's all.

But... Sometimes it is unreasonable to vent your anger.

Luo Jinxing, who came with Luo Yun, also glared at him. If his father hadn't had an attack first, he might not be able to help but make a move as soon as he entered the door.

Xie Yan picked up the letter that Luo Yun took on the table and read it again, folded the letter again and placed it in front of Luo Yun, saying: "I will let Qu Fang and Gu Jue follow, there will be no danger. General, shake it." You and I know what it is for, I can't stop him, and you can't stop him either."

Of course Luo Yun knew this truth, he knew it the first time he saw the letter.

"Yaoyao is still so young, these things still require her to take risks as a little girl, what do we need to do?" Luo Yun sat down slowly, a little lost, and said: "A mere Cao Mian...even if there is something that shouldn't be there... Thinking about it, this general can kill him with a backhand!"

He and Cao Mian were similar in age and were the youngest group of people who followed Gaozu back then, but the friendship between the two of them was average.

It's just thinking that they were all fighting the world together at the beginning, so there is a bit of love after all.But if Cao Mian had a different heart, the little friendship back then would not be enough for Luo Yun to show mercy to his subordinates.

Xie Yan said: "Father-in-law has been on the battlefield for decades, and Yao Yao doesn't want to see you go to the battlefield in the name of fighting chaos one day."

Although some people say that "death on the battlefield is a good death", as a child, who doesn't want his father to spend his old age in peace?
Luo Yun had been rolling on the battlefield since he was a teenager, and he really didn't have a few days to live a peaceful life.

Luo Yun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Yao Yao is really going to be fine?"

Xie Yan said: "Father-in-law, you don't know enough about Yaoyao. Or can you ask Jinxing?"

Luo Yun looked back at Luo Jinxing who was standing behind him, Luo Jinxing lowered his head in frustration and said, "Yao Yao...Yao Yao's skill is pretty good, and he shouldn't be worse than elder brother in fighting. In addition... elder brother told me before leaving , Yaoyao is not an ignorant child, she can do a lot of things very well, so if I... have any uncertainties, I can discuss them with her. "

But the younger sister is still the one who needs to be taken care of, and it is still unacceptable in Luo Jinxing's heart to let her go thousands of miles away alone to deal with such a dangerous matter.

"Father! I'll go to Qingzhou to find Yaoyao!" Luo Jinxing said firmly.

Luo Yun took a deep breath and said, "What's the use of you going? Stay well in Shangyong. Your sister is sick, what are you doing leaving Beijing at this time as an older brother?"

Somewhat roughly, he pulled the pen, ink and paper in front of Xie Yan, Luo Yun quickly wrote a few lines of handwriting on it, and then pushed it to Xie Yan.

"Send someone to deliver it to Yao Yao."

Xie Yan didn't look at it, just folded it, took out an envelope and put it in, nodded and said, "Okay."

Luo Yun sighed, stood up and said, "I'm not familiar with Qingzhou and Cao Mian, but there are still a few trustworthy people in Qingzhou." It was an explanation of the content of that letter.

Xie Yan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Father-in-law."

Luo Yun snorted softly and said, "Let's go back first. Since Yao Yao is ill, I'll ask her mother and sister to come and have a look."

"Yes."

The next day, there was news in the imperial city.

The princess regent had rashes all over her body, including her face, because of something wrong.For a while, all kinds of precious medicinal materials and supplements were sent to the Prince Regent's mansion like water, but the princess's people could not see them.But everyone also understands, how can a delicate little girl like Wang Hao be willing to see people with rashes all over her face?
Of course, some people secretly have some unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.

The group of seven who left Shangyong quietly changed their makeup and headed north.

This is the first time that Luo Junyao has been to a place other than Shangyong since he came to this world. Even if he went out of the city for business, it was only a few dozen miles outside the city.

The seven of them pretended to be rich families visiting relatives in the north, and they didn't need any guards and servants.

Xie Xiao, the older brother, and Luo Junyao, the younger sister.Qu Fang is the uncle, Gu Jue and Ye Feng are the guards, Qin Yao'er is the girl's personal maid, and Chen Xun is the son's servant.

Others didn't think much about it, but Xie Xiao felt a little stressed.

After all, in terms of seniority, he has to be called Aunt Regent Princess.Even regardless of his seniority, he would not dare to let the princess call him brother.

Qin Yao'er was very excited, and also contributed her superb disguise technique, so as not to let passers-by think that the appearance of this group of people is too outstanding to attract attention.

Everyone rode their horses all the way, and two days later they were already three hundred miles away from Shangyong.

Leaving the scope of Shangyong, the world you see is completely different from the original one.

The people in the Gyeonggi area near Shangyong will not live too badly even if they are poor. Once the tulle covering their eyes falls after leaving Shangyong, Luo Junyao can really see what is going on in Dasheng now.

Only then did he really understand that the imperial court had clearly won the battle, and now there are many famous generals in great numbers, why didn't Xie Yan attack the Qi people in one fell swoop, why didn't he directly send troops to pacify southern Xinjiang.

I also understand why Xie Yan said that if the weaving workshop produces large quantities of fabrics, it will only hit the market, not only will it not make much money, but it will also be of no benefit to ordinary people.

Because, really poor.

The places less than three hundred miles away from Shangyong are so poor, let alone other places.

Luo Junyao had also seen poverty-stricken and war-torn countries in his previous life, but it was a modern society after all. When the world was peaceful, most places were relatively stable, at least food and clothing were no problem.

On the other hand, to be selfish, it is not their own country after all. As passers-by, they will sympathize, pity, and even do something within their own capabilities, but their hearts are more vigilant than heavy responsibility and guilt.

In the past, Dasheng had nothing to do with Luo Junyao, but it was obviously not the case now.

She is Daesung's princess regent.

Compared to Luo Junyao's gloomy mood, the others seemed to be used to it, and even the youngest and liveliest Qin Yao'er didn't think there was anything wrong.

She grew up in the border town, and these people could at least have a stable seat. In those years, they would bleed to death from time to time in the border town.

When it was getting dark that day, they lodged in a small town.

It is said that it is a small town, but it is actually just two short streets at the foot of the mountain. At a glance, there are not as many houses as some villages outside Shangyong City.But from a distance, you can see a half-old flag raised high on the street, and only the word "Inn" is written on it.

They avoided the official roads and took small roads along the way, and this small town was not far from the roadside.

There is not even a plaque at the door, which seems to be very careless, obviously just earning a little money from the occasional passerby to barely maintain it.

"Should we rest here tonight?" Gu Jue looked at Luo Jun and said, "I'm afraid there is no other place to stay in a radius of tens of miles."

Luo Junyao asked Xie Xiao with a smile, "Brother, what do you think?"

Xie Xiao only felt a black line, nodded helplessly and said: "Just here, at least there is a roof."

Everyone led the horses and walked over, the dirt road was full of potholes, and the street was quiet, only a few figures were seen.

Few outsiders come to this place, and everyone has a bottom line in their hearts.

The door of the inn was no different from the other doors along the street. They were all dusty and dark single wooden doors, and it was difficult for two people to walk in side by side.

The size of the lobby is small, there are only three tables in total and it feels quite crowded, and it becomes even more cramped when several people squeeze in at once.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in civilian clothes was lying on the table in a daze, his eyes lit up when he saw them coming in, and he quickly stood up to greet him, "Will the guest officials stay in the hotel or eat?"

Qin Yao'er looked at the thin layer of dust on the table, and said a little unhappy: "Eat first, then stay in the hotel. You are lazy, you don't even wipe the table clean."

The young man gave a foolish smile and explained: "This...we haven't had any visitors here for many days. Wait a minute, girl, I'll clean it up right away!" Then he yelled loudly toward the inside: "Father! Mother! There are guests!"

It turned out that this was not the waiter, but the young owner of the inn.But such an inn, such a place, there is no difference.

Soon there was a sound of footsteps inside, and a middle-aged couple lifted the curtain and came out from behind.

With two more people, the room was even more crowded.

Qu Fang and Gu Jue looked at each other, and they both backed out.

Qin Yao'er rolled her eyes, and pulled Chen Xun back out, "Let's go and look at the horses." Anyway, this place is like this, and she doesn't expect to have any delicious food, so she can just do whatever she wants.

Seeing the four of them go out, the boss and the proprietress were obviously relieved.

"Please take a seat." The proprietress wiped her rough hands on the coarse apron she wore in front of her a few times, and said enthusiastically, "Please sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's cook for the guests." As he spoke, he glared at the honest-looking boss, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and start a fire to cook."

The boy next to him had cleverly given up the table and chairs that had just been cleaned, and said with a smile, "Please sit down, sir."

Xie Xiao looked at the entire inn lobby, turned his head to Jun Luo and said, "There is no other place, just stay here for the night." Luo Jun shook his head and sat down first.

Xie Xiao then took out a small piece of silver and said: "Ma'am, go buy some good meat and vegetables, let's see how to make it. In addition... the bed and bedding in the room should be changed clean, the girl's room should be replaced with new ones, We'll pay." He naturally saw that the inn might not have many customers in ten days and a half, and naturally there would not be any good dishes prepared in the store.

The landlady's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the broken silver, and she said with a smile on her face: "Young master, don't worry, although we don't have any expensive ingredients here, we can still buy some wild game back. There is also the girl's bedding. The Wang family at the end of the street is Those who specialize in this must have new ones at their house, and I'll go get them myself in a while."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Thank you."

Seeing Xie Xiao's handsome and polite appearance, the proprietress laughed until she couldn't see her eyes.

Instructing his son to greet the guests well, he quickly took the silver and went out to buy things.

Although Luo Junyao and the others had changed into inconspicuous and ordinary clothes when they went out, the people in their group, regardless of gender, did not look like ordinary people.And also generous, the proprietress is naturally very attentive.

Xie Xiao sat down opposite Luo Junyao, and Luo Junyao said to Ye Feng who was standing aside: "Ye Feng, sit down too."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I'll go to the back kitchen to help the boss light the fire."

"Don't dare to ask the guest officer to help, my father is used to it, so he can take care of it." The young man came over with the teapot and said while pouring tea.

Ye Feng ignored him and walked back.

The young man was stunned, "Oh? He..."

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "You don't have to leave him, brother, he just can't sit still, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't do something for a moment."

The young man saw that Ye Feng had opened the curtain and walked in, so he could only say: "Then... that's fine."

Naturally, there are no good teas in roadside shops, and they are all camellias that are picked and fried.

Xie Xiao took a sip, only to feel the bitter taste in his mouth made him want to frown.

Luo Junyao looked at him with a smile, and said to the boy: "Brother, please send some tea to those outside."

The young man saw that she had delicate, white and beautiful eyebrows, and her smile was as bright as a star, so he couldn't help but blush immediately.He hurriedly responded, took a few teacups from the side table with the teapot and went out.

Seeing her appearance, Xie Xiao couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Why don't you let Miss Yao'er cover up your face again?"

Luo Jun shook dissatisfied, "I'm already like this, how can I cover up? You can't wear a veil, right?"

Of course, when you go out, you can't let others discover your identity. Their appearance has been modified to a certain extent.Qin Yao'er's potion and disguise technique are ingenious, and Luo Junyao's appearance at this time is only five times the same as before.

Even Shangyong's acquaintance stood in front of him, if he didn't speak, he might think it was a girl who looked like her, not the princess regent herself.

Xie Xiao said: "For example... darker skin, and a few more big moles or birthmarks?" The little princess looks really attractive, and he doesn't want to turn around and be coveted by others because he didn't protect the princess well. , and was repaired by the Regent.

Luo Junyao looked at him speechlessly, "Brother, you look like this, I'm crooked, do you remember that we are brother and sister?"

Xie Xiao was a little distressed, he hesitated for a long while and said with pain: "How about I also play it?" Mr. Xie has a bit of a penchant for beauty, and he can't accept that he is ugly.

Luo Junyao complained speechlessly: "There are also Yao'er and Gu Jue, oh, Ye Feng and Chen Xun are also counted. How about we form an alliance of ugly people?"

"That's true...you don't have to." A group of ugly people gathered together was as eye-catching as a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

No, we can still choose to be more ordinary.

Luo Junyao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, being conspicuous has its advantages, don't think about it so much, it's a big deal that some places are covered with veils or veils."

Seeing her serious face, Xie Xiao could only give up.

You are the princess who listens to you.
