Chapter 491 491 Escape 2
The convoy does not happen to meet the inn every time, and sometimes it is necessary to sleep outside.

Fortunately, the further south you go, the warmer the weather will be. If you sleep in the open at night, you won't freeze to death.

The convoy had been going for five days, and they slept in the wild this night.

Marquis Yongchang asked for help, and he was more exposed, afraid of falling asleep, the two of them chatted one after another.

It's nothing more than asking Yongchanghou what business he did in Kyoto before, and why he didn't make any money.

What kind of people are there in the family.

After that, we chatted about gossip about Kyoto.

The captain of the bodyguard said: "When you left the capital, was the girl from the Yongchang Hou Mansion buried?"

Yongchang Hou Jiachaihuo paused his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was the one who came out of the city that day."

The captain of the bodyguard clicked his tongue: "A girl who was not out of the cabinet was still burned to death. We don't even have a coffin in our place. The Hou Mansion has made a big show."

"I heard that His Majesty even personally sent someone to express his condolences. It's still the Grand Duke next to him. Your Majesty's heart is too kind. If I were the Marquis of Yongchang, I would have to work for Your Majesty for the rest of my life!"

Marquis Yongchang smiled: "That's right, I think so too, but unfortunately I happened to leave that day, so I didn't see so much excitement!"

"Then it's a pity for you!" Wang Dazi said, "I tell you, that scene was the most magnificent I've ever seen. It's a pity that it was a woman!"

"He is short-lived. You said that His Majesty has already given you a marriage, and you are about to become a princess, but you are burned to death at this juncture. This is not a lucky person."

"I've heard a lot of people say that she just didn't have the life to be a princess, that's why God sent fire and burned her to death!"

"You fart!"

An excited female voice sounded: "Who says she has no life to be a princess, just sink..."

Before he finished speaking, Marquis Yongchang jumped up and covered her mouth, and gave her a hard look.

Wang Dazi was puzzled.

He was just idle and bored, gossiping about it, why is this woman still so excited.

It's as if she is Mrs. Hou.

Marquis Yongchang saw that Wang Mazi was puzzled and unhappy, so he quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law can't listen to others saying that women are not good. It doesn't mean that our family only has two daughters and no son."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Marquis Yongchang lowered his voice: "Let them talk, don't reveal your identity."

Madam Hou woke up and felt that she was a little too impulsive.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and said sorry to Wang Dazi in a low voice.

Wang Dazi didn't even meet a woman, so he waved his hand: "That's all!"

The place where they are stationed is next to the official road.

One is that the roadside ground is relatively flat, and the other is because the official road is relatively open, and it is easy to see the situation before and after, and it is convenient to escape if an enemy comes.

Wang Dazi still wanted to say a few words, but suddenly felt the ground shake.

Marquis Yongchang's complexion changed slightly, but he calmed down soon.

dong dong dong...

The vibration on the ground became stronger, and Wang Dazi's face became serious. He picked up the spoon hanging around his neck and blew it hard.

This is the siren.

In such a late night, the sound was obviously the sound of horseshoes, and there were quite a few people. Right now, there were no shops in front of the village or in the back of this place.

The people who came were most likely bandits.

As soon as the whistle rang, a group of people riding on tall horses was already seen from a distance, coming at a fast speed.

As the group of people got closer, Wang Dazi's high-hanging heart gradually came to fruition.

Wearing official uniforms, this is a pair of officers and soldiers.

It doesn't mean that officers and soldiers must be good, but basically, people's lives will not be taken lightly.

The leader of the caravan also woke up, and while pulling his clothes, he fumbled for the bank notes in his sleeves.

It's all like this, when you pass by, you always have to give some filial piety, to save money and eliminate disasters.

The leading officers and soldiers saw this group of people and really reined in the horses. The people in the caravan were about to go up to greet them.

Ask: "Have you ever seen the person in this painting!"

When Wang Dazi took a closer look, his expression changed: "This is not..."

The officers and soldiers immediately regained their spirits: "Have you seen them along the way?"

Wang Dadazi hurriedly said humbly: "I haven't seen you on the way back to the official, but I met you in the capital before... I met Hou... Lord Hou sent his daughter to the funeral!"

The officers and soldiers frowned slightly, not hiding their disappointment, and lowered their heads and said to the people beside them: "It seems that we are still ahead, we have to keep chasing!"

He gestured to go down, and the group continued to move forward.

Wang Dazi wiped off his hot sweat, and said, "What's going on, isn't this Marquis Yongchang, why was he portrayed? Did he commit a crime?"

There was a characteristic of that era. People who were usually portrayed, and then held by officers and soldiers and asked if you had seen them, were basically wanted criminals.

As soon as he finished speaking, the officer and soldier who asked the question turned his horse's head and came towards them again.

Not only Wang Dazi, but even Marquis Yongchang's heart was raised in his throat this time.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers were not looking for trouble, they just said seriously: "Don't spread rumors, Marquis Yongchang didn't commit any crimes, it was His Majesty who came to him urgently, and for the sake of convenience, he drew a portrait!"

Wang Dazi let out an oh, and was about to reply when the man left in a hurry.

Wang Mazi muttered: "Hey, it's right that you didn't do anything wrong. Let me tell you, I heard about it in Kyoto. Your Majesty treats this Marquis very unusually."

"The two grew up together, and the person His Majesty trusts the most is Marquis Yongchang!"

Wang Dazi said it with his nose and eyes, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

Marquis Yongchang echoed from the side, ah, oh, a few words like this.

After such a fuss, everyone couldn't sleep.

Anyway, the sky was getting dark, so everyone broke camp and set off.

Because Marquis Yongchang kept vigil last night and didn't sleep all night, he was able to recuperate in the carriage today.

Madam Hou was naturally also touched.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, Madam Hou lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty came to look for you so soon?"

Marquis Yongchang smiled: "It's been five days, so it's not too late. On the day I leave the capital, I guess Prime Minister Lin will explain to His Majesty how powerful it is."

"But he wants face, it's his own will, if he doesn't do it, he will tell me to go back immediately. Isn't that clear that he is afraid of me? So after waiting for these days, now he has found an excuse, and he will chase me back without stopping!"

"Then is our current situation unsafe? Should we speed up?"

Yongchang Hou shook his head: "Not for the time being, when this group of people find Steward Li and his wife and accompany them back to the capital, it is time to relax their vigilance. Then we will hurry up."

"Right now, it's safest to walk so slowly first."

Who would have thought that Marquis Yongchang was not rushing his way desperately, but was swaying all the way behind the counterfeit.
