Chapter 43, the princess benevolently saves the suffering people
The night is deep, the bonfire rises in the wilderness, and the passers-by suffer, but there are no villages or villages, and they are stranded in the mountains.The carriage was parked by the bonfire, and there were four strong men guarding the front, back, left, and right.The smiling monk and Taoist Shi were lazily lying beside the bonfire, and Taoist Shi asked: "Hey! You said that the princess is out of the palace, it's really a trip to the mountains and rivers."

The smiling monk laughed "haha" and said: "From the poor monk's point of view, His Majesty means to build plank roads openly and keep open warehouses in secret."

Daoist Shi said with a slight smile: "Nowadays, the Holy Master is flawless in martial arts and martial arts. He can strategize and win thousands of miles. I am ashamed of myself."

Everyone was resting, and one person ran over in a panic.The people around the carriage immediately stood up, holding weapons to protect the surroundings of the carriage.A sloppy woman stepped forward, looked at the carriage, with a smile on her face, full of hope, fainted on the ground.

Li Fian asked, "What happened outside?"

Xiao An lifted the bead curtain and said, "It's a woman who passed out on the ground."

Li Fian said, "Go up and have a look alone."

A person stepped forward, squatted down, took a look, turned around and walked to the carriage to salute, and said, "Your Highness, there is a woman who has passed out and looks very embarrassed."

When Li Fei'an heard it, she thought to herself: "It's late, why is there a woman walking alone?"

The guard led the woman forward and woke her up.When the woman looked at the carriage, there were several people carrying lanterns on both sides of the carriage, guarded by more than a dozen energetic people, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.Taoist Shi stepped forward and asked, "Why does the girl do this?"

With chapped lips, the woman raised her dirty face and said, "I beg the people in the carriage to decide for me!"

"Then the girl must have grievances, please speak slowly, my girl will make the decision for you." Taoist Shi said.

When the sloppy girl heard it, she was surprised and said, "It's a girl, so what about my grievances?"

The smiling monk stepped forward, smiling like a flower petal, bursting with light, "Hehe" smiled and said: "Don't worry, my girl is not the daughter of an ordinary family, she is raised by a dragon and a phoenix. If there is any grievance, just tell me."

There was some sadness on the woman's face, and she kowtowed and said: "The little girl was originally from Tongguan. She has parents in her family. She lives in poverty, but she also lives and works in peace and contentment. Because today's world is rare in a hundred years, but in this prosperous age, it is not perfect. .”

Upon hearing this, Li Fian said, "Oh! Then tell me what happened?"

"Ah! It's just because the son of the Tongguan guard is a lustful person, and he asked his subordinates to arrest women everywhere, causing everyone to be in danger and panic. Many people hide their women in the homes of distant relatives, that shameless man , So I asked someone to look for a beautiful woman outside the city, and after arriving at my house, they beat my father and mother, and arrested me and returned to the city. When I returned to the city, I took advantage of their unguardedness and escaped." The woman said.

Upon hearing this, Li Fian said, "Is this really true?"

The woman said: "Little girl dare not lie."

Li Fei'an thought about it: "Why does this woman know that I can call the shots?"

Li Fian asked, "Why do you know that I can make decisions for you?"

The woman said in a daze, "It was the owner of a mysterious carriage who told the little girl that as long as she found the pearl carriage, she would be able to get help from the owner."

Li Fei'an thought about it: "It's the third son, except that he is chivalrous and courageous."

Li Fei'an said complacently: "Don't worry, this girl will make decisions for the people of Tongguan."

The woman smiled and fell to the ground.

Li Fei'an shouted: "Come here! Give this girl some food and water."

Taoist Shi saluted and said, "Yes! Miss!"

Li Fian leaned in the carriage, said with a "hee hee" smile, "He—"

Xiao An glanced at the infatuated Li Fian and said, "Your Highness! Do you know who sent that woman here?"

Li Fei'an stood up and said, "It's the Lord of Thousands of Sufferers."

Li Fian opened the bead curtain, looked at the sky and said, "I don't know where Wei Xun is?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao An said with a bitter face: "Princess, why are you bothering, he is a fugitive now!"

Li Fei'an looked at the maid and said, "You're talking nonsense, this princess will not let you go."

Upon hearing this, Xiao An showed a playful look and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I will never dare again."

Li Fei'an got out of the car, walked up to the sloppy woman, and said, "How do you feel, girl? Are you still in a coma?"

"No!" The woman looked up, then immediately knelt down and said, "Caomin has poor eyesight, I don't know who the girl is?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fian said, "I am Princess Fian."

When the woman heard this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the princess, I'm sorry."

Li Fian reached out to help the dirty woman and said, "There is no need to be polite."

When the woman got up, Li Fian asked with a smile, "I wonder when did the girl meet that mysterious carriage?"

"Before it gets dark!" said the woman.

Li Fian asked eagerly: "Then you saw the owner of the carriage?"

"No, it's just that the people in the carriage seem to be very sick and cough badly."

Upon hearing this, Li Fian made a bitter face, sighed and said, "He must be seriously injured."

"The princess knows the people in the carriage?" the slovenly woman asked.

"Let's not talk, tomorrow you can clean up your makeup and follow me to Tongguan." Li Fei'an said.

Upon hearing this, the woman knelt down again and said, "Thank you, princess!"

Taoist Shi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, shall I inform the Tongguan guard?"

Li Fei'an looked at Taoist Shi and thought to himself: "He is really a reckless person in the world, and he does things like this."

Li Fei'an turned around and walked towards the carriage, saying as he walked, "Ask Xiao'an to dress up this girl, and take her to Tongguan tomorrow morning."

Taoist Shi said: "This subordinate obeys orders!"

overnight

Li Fei'an lifted the bead curtain, and looked at Dongfang Liangtang.

Xiao An couldn't wake up from a sound sleep, Li Fian shook Xiao An.Xiao An got up, rubbed her eyes, and said in a daze, "Your Highness, are you still asleep?"

Li Fian smiled and said, "You girl, you look more like a princess than me."

Xiao An pouted and said, "Oh! I wish I was a princess, but it's just a servant girl's life."

Li Fei'an stared at Xiao'an and said, "Hurry up and tell the people outside to set off for Tongguan."

Xiaoan opened the bead curtain and shouted: "Princess has orders, hurry to Tongguan."

One day passed, and when everyone arrived outside Tongguan City, they saw that the city gate was closed tightly and no one passed through.Li Fei'an lifted the bead curtain and looked, and asked, "Now is not the time for war, why are the city gates closed in broad daylight?"

After dressing up, the woman was very different from before. She was graceful and charming, and said gracefully: "It's not time to open the gate, someone will open the city gate soon."

As soon as the words fell, the city gate opened.

Li Fei'an took a look and asked, "Why did you open the city gate at this hour?"

"It's for collecting money!" said the woman.

"Receive money?" Li Fian asked.

"That's right, this young master of the guard came to Tongguan from his hometown not long ago. When the guard was ill, the deputy general was able to enter the city after receiving ten taels of silver when he opened the city gate."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei'an said with a "hum", "It's really daring!"

Li Fei'an's carriage moved forward, and when it reached the city gate, the gate opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out. A fat man led a general in armor to the carriage. The fat man looked at the Wanli woman in front of the carriage and said, "And It's you!"

Xiaoan got off the car and said, "Why don't you go to the city?"

The fat boy glanced at Xiaoan, and said with a "hum": "Going into the city, the imperial court has an expeditionary war recently, and military expenses are in short supply. All merchants and passers-by have to donate military expenses."

When Xiao An heard this, she became startled, turned around and said, "Miss, the Tongguan garrison will charge military expenses."

Li Fian said: "Xiao An, who would do this?"

There was a heart-pounding crisp sound from inside the carriage, and the fat young man heard it and said: "Hey! Hearing the sound, she must be a beautiful woman of the generation. Girl, please come down and let me have a look. If you are beautiful, I can reduce the exemption."

Li Fian said: "Hmph! If you want to see this girl, then you should think about it."

As he said that, he took a step forward, and four of them said "hmm", all of them raised their knives and shouted in unison: "Stop."

"Hey! This young master is the most domineering person in Tongguan. I didn't expect that you are just an ordinary passing guest, and you are so arrogant. Come here! Grab it."

Taoist Shi stepped in front of the fat man and said, "Wait, stop!"

Li Fian said: "Don't stop me."

The fat boy happily stepped forward, three feet away from the carriage, Xiao An drew his sword and said, "You can stop now."

The fat man looked at the carriage and said, "It's the girl in the carriage who wants me to go."

Li Fian said with a smile: "I advise you to stand still and not move. Otherwise, your head will fall to the ground."

The fat boy said: "Girl, you!"

Li Fian asked, "How much money do you plan to ask for?"

"Girl! The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility, so just give me 100 taels." The fat boy said.

Li Fian smiled again and said, "You really dare to ask me for money."

The fat boy said: "As long as the girl is willing to let me meet, I don't have to."

"Haha——" Li Feian laughed and said, "Xiao An, give him the money."

Xiao An asked sideways: "Your Highness, do you really want to give it?"

"Of course!"

"Ah! Princess!" said a general behind him.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Shi said, "That's right, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

When the fat man heard this, he trembled with fright and said, "You are Princess Fei'an."

Xiao An nodded and said, "Yes, you are unlucky, and you can't avoid the princess even if you do evil."

Li Fei'an shouted: "Shut down these reckless people."

With an order, the people surrounding the carriage started their hands one after another, with their swords on the fat young man's neck.More than a dozen people supported the fat young man.Several generals under the city gate were about to step forward, the smiling monk said with a "hehe" smile, "I'd better report to the commander-in-chief quickly, the young master violated the people, charged fees indiscriminately, and was caught by Princess Fei'an on the spot."

Everyone didn't dare to go forward and quickly retreated.

Two people escorted the fat young man into the city, and Li Fian's carriage entered with him. When passing the city gate, Li Fian looked at the portraits of Wei Xun and others on the wall from the side window of the carriage house and thought: "There are portraits of Wei Xun everywhere, and I don't know Wei Xun is alive or dead."
