The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 280 Yancheng
"Well, don't worry." Zhao Shuang pressed her head against Ah Chen's forehead, and slowly lowered her eyes.

~~
In the north of the city, Yuxu Temple.

A nun in white robe was sitting on the steps in front of the hall, looking at the huge Bagua array on the ground.

The white-haired Taoist came over with a chessboard and a teapot, "How about another game?"

"Qingwu, have you made up your mind?" Jingyi shook her head and sighed, "You and I have already figured out that going to the West Plains will be dangerous, why do you go your own way?"

"Haha..." Qing Wu put down the chessboard and laughed loudly, "I've been going my own way all my life, and I can't turn back long ago."

"Then let's... play the last game of chess." Jing Yi looked at the handsome face opposite and smiled slightly.

Having lived to their age, they have already looked down on most things in the world, only love and hate.

~~
Sure enough, as Yang Xuan said, after entering Xiyuan Road, the weather became especially bad.

Zhao Shuang sat in the carriage, her lips were blown dry and her skin turned dry.

"Empress, the city of Yan is ahead, let's settle down in Prince Yu's mansion in the city, and we will go to the countryside to find someone tomorrow." A tall and strong figure came on horseback and reported to the carriage.

Xiyuan Road is the hometown of King Yu. It is sparsely populated and the climate is harsh. As the capital of Xiyuan Road, Yancheng is not the same as the cities in the Central Plains. The only decent building in the city is Yuwang Mansion. The other houses are just a few wooden houses. A tent or a stone house was erected on the stakes.

The sky was full of wind and sand, and the environment of the inn in the city was not good, so Linghu Kong suggested to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion.

King Yu now lives in Shangjing and is not in the mansion, but Princess Yu should still be in Yancheng.

"Let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion." Zhao Shuang caressed a black cloth bundle in his hand, which contained Cheng Qian's Tianfang Sword.

She came to look for Zhao Hongyi, but it was hard to guarantee that Qingwu would follow. With the Tianfang Sword, she could compete equally with Qingwu's Lihun Horn.

A group of people entered Yancheng, only to find that there were no people on the street, and the market was very depressed.

The houses in Yancheng are either tents or short stone houses, which are somewhat similar to those in Beiliang.

"The empress is here, I am not far away to welcome you." Princess Yu led the family and children out to greet her.

There are not many people in Prince Yu's mansion, there are only twenty or thirty people, old and young.

"Excuse me, I decided to come to the residence temporarily to stay overnight. If you bother me, please take care of Princess Yu." Zhao Shuang sized up Princess Yu.

Concubine Yu is about 40 years old. She looks kindly and kind-eyed, and she is a little fat like King Yu.

"What's the empress talking about? It's a blessing for our Prince Yu's residence that you come to our Yancheng! Chanjuan, quickly lead the empress to rest in the Lilac Garden." Princess Yu winked at the little maid, and there was a little maid in green Come here, bow your knees to salute Zhao Shuang, and follow Zhao Shuang.

"Thank you. We only bother you for one night, and we will leave tomorrow. You don't need to bother too much." Zhao Shuang thanked, then glanced at Linghu Kong, and recommended, "This is General Linghu. You can take him to live in the guest house." Bar."

It is not convenient for Linghu Kong and the sergeants to live in the back house, so they can only temporarily live in the guest courtyard.

"Yes, my concubine knows." Princess Yu nodded in agreement.

Zhao Shuang led Xiangdong and followed the little maid in green to the back house.

After they had walked a foot away, a girl in a pale pink dress in the crowd raised her head and stared at Zhao Shuang's back in a daze.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face and beautiful features, but her brows were drawn into a strange arc, as if she was preoccupied.

The lilac courtyard is full of lilacs, and now it is autumn and winter, and the flowers and trees are withering.

"Your concubine is so elegant. The lilac trees all over the yard...should be beautiful when they are in full bloom?" Zhao Shuang followed Chanjuan on the veranda, looking around.

"My empress, this lilac... was planted by our lady." Chanjuan grinned, "Miss is proficient in gardening, and likes to decorate gardens and flowers and trees..."

"Miss?" Zhao Shuang suddenly remembered the scarlet gold paper, and frowned slightly.

"It's our third lady. The eldest lady inherited the position of princess and married to the southern border. The second lady is also married to the border guard of Xiyuan Road." Chanjuan pointed to the opposite side of the courtyard wall and said with a smile, "Now only Miss Xia San is still staying with Madam."

"Oh?" Zhao Shuang nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "How old is Miss San?"

"Miss San just turned sixteen this year." Chanjuan shook her head and sighed, "Actually, she's not too young, but in this desolate place on the West Plains, she couldn't find a good family, so...delayed."

Several people entered the room, Chanjuan explained some things to Xiangdong, and then retreated.

When the lights are on, in the Lilac Courtyard.

The woman in lavender riding clothes was sitting on the fence of the veranda to enjoy the scenery. Linghu Kong hurried across the courtyard and walked up the steps of the veranda.

"Empress, the last general just now... followed the route provided by Hulan to search around the city." Linghu Kong's body recovered well. Here comes the clue.

"Have you found it?" Zhao Shuang asked.

"I found it!" Linghu Kong's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he cupped his hands and said, "King Yi and Princess Yi... now live in a place less than half a day away from Yancheng, we can go there early tomorrow morning."

"Yeah," Xiang Dong brought a bowl of cold-dispelling tea, Zhao Shuang picked it up and drank it, and then ordered Linghu Kong to say, "Go down and get ready, let's set off early tomorrow morning, go early and come back early."

The West Plains Road was desolate and windy and sandy like knives. Zhao Hongyi and Zhang Xiaoxue were spoiled and spoiled, so it was not an option to live here forever.

Zhao Shuang thought about it, now that the world is peaceful, he arranged a route for them and asked them to bring enough money to settle in the south.

"It's just that there are no cars or horses in that place, so I'm afraid the Empress will have to go on foot." Linghukong glanced outside the courtyard again, and said in a low voice, "There is one more thing... the last general just received the letter from Feige to the capital. , said... His Majesty has also come to Xiyuan Road."

Zhao Shuang clenched the teacup in his hand, and asked nervously, "What about A Tao and A Chen?"

Before he left, he clearly told Yang Xuan to take care of the two children, and he would go back in a few days, but he still followed.

"His Royal Highness is here too. Your Majesty... is still worried about you after all," Linghukong bowed his head and handed over a letter, "This is a letter from Ming Jing. The Second Prince heard that he was fostered by General Ming." Fuchu."

"I see." Zhao Shuang took the letter and read it, then waved his hand wearily.

Now that Yang Xuan has come, he can't be driven back, anyway, he will return to Shangjing in a few days, I only hope Ah Tao and Ah Shen are safe.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Shuang and Linghu Kong led a group of followers and set off on horseback. They abandoned the horses on the mountain road outside the city, and led four or five guards into the mountain, leaving the rest of the soldiers to guard them. The entrance to the mountain.

As he walked, Zhao Shuang sighed in his heart, Xiangxia really knew how to choose a place, this place...not to mention the imperial army, it is difficult for even martial arts masters to enter through mountains and mountains.
