Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 894 The carriage entering the city late at night

late at night.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the shadows of the trees seem to move automatically in the absence of wind.

The watchman banged his clapper as he walked by, and the black cat crossing the roof cast a slender and strong shadow in the moonlight.

At the gate of the city, an inconspicuous carriage slowly stopped. The coachman was a rugged man with a beard and a burly figure, and he looked like a trainee. The guard at the gate of the city was naturally wary, but the other party smiled honestly and handed over a small wooden sign. The guard took it and looked at it, and his spine felt instantly He straightened up, bowed slowly towards the carriage, turned around and ordered behind him to open the city gate. The moment the heavy city gate creaked, the guard bent down again, smiled apologetically into the carriage and said, "I don't know if you're here, and you're not far away from us."

A hand slowly stretched out from the carriage curtain, an older hand with larger bones and deep lines. The hand waved slowly and said softly, "It's okay. I'm entering the city on orders. It's not appropriate to mobilize troops and mobilize a large number of people."

His voice was deep and his speaking speed was slightly slower, with the aura of someone who had been in a position of superiority for a long time.

The guard understood instantly, and immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry. No one except the little ones will know about your entry into the city this time... Please." After that, he stepped away and bowed again, respectfully. Jing handed the wooden sign in his hand back to the bearded coachman. The coachman also clasped his hands together, thanked him, and calmly placed a small piece of broken silver in the inner layer of the man's belt, and whispered, "Sorry to bother you late at night, it's time to change the shift." Warm yourself up with a pot of hot wine with your brothers.”

The guard was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and enthusiastically sent the carriage all the way into the city gate, still watching as the other party disappeared into the night.

The younger guard on the side looked at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, and curiously stepped forward to inquire, "Brother, who is this person? He seems to have a lot of background, can you tell me about it?"

The other party turned his head and looked over, and asked softly after a while, "Do you want to drink?"

"Think about it! It's freezing cold today, and a cup of hot wine is the best thing to drink! Why, brother, let's go have a drink tomorrow morning? And a plate of salt-baked peanuts..."

The young guard was thinking with a smile and did not notice the meaningful expression of the guard beside him. The other party looked at it for a moment, then the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he warned, "If you still want to save your life and drink, stop asking about these things you shouldn't know. Be careful and you may die on the road without knowing it!"

The young guard's face was dull, and all the imagination about the hearty hot wine and peanuts disappeared from his mind, leaving only the hand in the carriage that slowly lifted up the curtain... Somehow, it was a stimulating spirit, like cold water. With his head down, he quietly withdrew without saying a word.

The inconspicuous carriage melted into the night, walking leisurely along a certain alley. The bearded coachman asked the people in the carriage with a low voice, "Master, why don't we go into the city early tomorrow morning?" , I happened to go see the girl first, I haven’t seen the girl for a while, but I miss her very much. "

"There's no rush." ​​The voice of the person in the carriage was calm and still, "It's the same thing to resolve this matter first before going to see her. I heard that the old woman came not long ago, and now that I see her, I can't help but blame and curse Huai in a weird way. She didn’t say she was tired, but I heard she was tired.”

The coachman smiled naively and persuaded softly, "The old lady is very impatient. She is a good person and has a kind heart. She has a sharp tongue and a soft heart." The person in the carriage was obviously not happy to hear this and snorted. He swallowed his rebuttal and only ordered, "Be careful and don't go the wrong way."

The coachman seemed to have a good temper. When he was not smiling, he looked like an unsmiling trainee. When he smiled, he looked honest and honest, "Don't worry, this road will not be forgotten even if the slave is ten years from now." Yes, please rest for a while, we will be at the intersection... Strange, the one with the white matter hanging in front of it should be... Mr. Shen's mansion. Why, the white matter hanging there..."

The person in the carriage opened half of the curtain and leaned out, looking at the white flowers on the stone lion not far ahead and the white lantern at the door, his face expressionless.

"We...were late." He murmured.

……

The night was getting darker and darker, and the wind started blowing in the second half of the night. It was not strong, but I was sobbing as I walked through the streets and alleys. Listening to such sobbing in the shadows of the trees, I felt a little bit intrusive. It was the patrolman. The guards also hurried past with their heads lowered, not paying attention to the flash of black shadows in the alley.

Even if you see it, you will probably think it is just a homeless stray cat.

The shadow quickly passed through the streets and alleys, and soon landed within a high wall. It avoided the patrolling guards with familiarity, and came to a courtyard with a lamp still lit. The already drowsy boy at the door fell to the ground and soon began to snore. The man pushed the door open and walked all the way to the back room. Before walking to the bedside, he looked down at Li Yiwei who had woken up on the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You sent someone to clean up the things in the basement of the East Palace study. of?"

Li Yiwei frowned in discomfort.

Looking from his angle, he could just see the terrifying skin of the other party, a bloodless, ugly, ghost-like face under the moonlight. He frowned and resisted the urge to say bad words, and just nodded, "Yes. It's me."

Compared with the past, he was obviously more perfunctory and impatient, and he also put on a high airs, and the disgust between his eyebrows was not as well hidden as before - Lin Yi, who was as keen as before, naturally felt it. His Royal Highness, who was still polite to him as a corporal, was eager to kill his opponent after he had just put his opponent in the prison.

This patience is indeed a bit lacking.

Lin Yi twitched the corners of his lips and smiled sarcastically, "His Royal Highness is really different now... His tone of voice has changed. Your Highness must have forgotten that the Crown Prince is not dead yet, and Bian Xiang is still here. You Is it too early to start talking about the prince? I have only heard that the birds are gone and the rabbits are still alive, but now the birds are not gone and the rabbits are not dead yet. Isn't it impatient? some?"

Really not liking this angle and looking at the other person's chilling face, Li Yiwei stood up and sat down, leaning against the pillow and smiling lazily, his eyebrows raised, looking particularly high-spirited, and said with a smile, "Oh? Really...then... So what? Do you think that at this point, Li Yuqi will have any chance to turn around? Bian Xiang... Hehe, if Li Yuqi had really listened to Bian Dongchuan, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation... But that's it. Just a arrogant idiot!"

He sneered at the corner of his mouth, glanced sideways at the other party, and asked pointedly, "Lin Yi, what do you think?"
