Soul echo

Chapter 273 [Lily Liber joins the team]

After helping Zhong Ye carry the last piece of luggage into the carriage, Lilian wiped the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, are we leaving now? Where's the...princess?" ?”

"She said she would wait for us outside the city."

Zhong Ye put the rope on Jin and tied it firmly, and then put Jin on the horse, connecting the horse and the carriage.

"Outside the city?" Lilian muttered in confusion.

However, Lily Lieber lives in the palace, and the palace is also outside the city, so it is not surprising that the princess chose to meet them outside the city.

Zhong Ye patted the neck of the well-fed draft horse, causing it to snort, then turned to look at Lilian, "Get in the car, it's time to go."

Lilian put aside her doubts, nodded her head, stepped into the carriage, looked at Zhong Ye again, and asked, "Teacher, where are we going next?"

"I asked old Mr. Kahler and Mrs. Pereira to help me check. Next, we are going to Vendunum, so we will leave the city through the west gate."

Lilian blinked her eyes, "Check what?"

Zhong Ye hung the long knife beside the coachman's seat, and looked back in doubt, "Didn't you say that you want to search along those paintings of Nemo? And even if Adrian died, the influence still exists, so you can just take a look at it along the way." , is there anything else that needs to be resolved?"

Hearing this sentence, Lilian remembered the mission she had received before, but after almost a month, the mission hadn't even been moved, and she almost forgot about it, thanks to Zhong Ye who still remembered it.

Seeing her sluggish look, Zhong Ye couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that you forgot?"

Lily looked away guiltily.

Zhong Ye shook his head helplessly, "Get in the car."

After Lilian sat down, Zhong Ye flicked the rein, and the horse started to hoof.

It's late winter, and the temperature is getting colder and colder, but today's weather is good, there has been no snow in the past two days, and today the sun came out early in the morning, allowing the snow on the road to melt a little.

Today's Paris has returned to its former bustle. Merchants and factories don't have to worry about debts, and the ropes that strangle people's necks are naturally untied.

The city is no longer lifeless. Except for those nobles who still want to wait and see, but have no time to act, many people have smiles on their faces.

Because the New Year is approaching, the ribbons and flags that had just been removed not long ago were hung up again. However, because people had consumed once more than ten days ago, many people had no spare money in their pockets and could not consume the goods hoarded by the merchants.

A few days ago, businessmen might have felt hopeless, but now, they have paid off their debts.

Although the money earned throughout the year or even several years has been lost, at least his life and property have been saved. At most, this year's New Year will be more difficult, and then he will work harder next year.

There is no business that is sure to make money, and even if there is such a business, it is not their turn to do it.

The closed tavern was reopened, the sound of laughing, drinking and fighting came from inside along with the melodious singing, and the shops next to it were also shouting.

There are a small number of pedestrians walking on the road, but there is an endless stream of traffic—these horse-drawn carts and ox carts full of goods will go to other cities to deliver the goods on the carts to where they are needed.

A child was driven out of an alley by his mother holding a stick, and his shrill voice made passers-by and neighbors laugh.

On the other side, two children, one big and one small, were carrying a basket of charcoal and knocking on doors along the street to sell.

Zhong Ye drove the carriage to the side of the road and bought the basket of charcoal. Amidst the thanks of the two brothers, he drove the horse again to make the carriage move.

The wheels rolled forward, leaving two obvious ruts on the road.

Lilian sat in the carriage, warmed by the fire, and watched the city gradually go away.

She breathed slowly, and the white air was painted on the car window, blurring the shadow of the city.

Zhong Ye arrived at the agreed place 10 minutes earlier. He did not see Lily Lieber here. According to their agreement, if she failed to arrive on time, he could leave directly. After all, the weather was very cold.

He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then quickly stuffed it back into his pocket - the mechanical watch is quite sensitive to temperature, if it is exposed to the cold wind for a long time, it may cause the dial to stop, even if it is for a short time, it may cause an error in the time.

Zhong Ye waited silently for twelve minutes, but he didn't wait for Lily Lieber's arrival, not even a shadow.

He shook his head, grabbed the reins and flicked lightly.

The carriage moved and headed southwest, the wheels and horseshoes left deep marks on the snow.

After walking in the southwest direction for a while, Zhong Ye suddenly heard other sounds that seemed to be mixed with the wind. He listened carefully, but found that it was the sound of horseshoes, and there were noisy horseshoes coming from behind.

After a while, the sound of the horse's hooves approached, even Lilian who was sitting in the carriage could hear it. She looked out the window obliquely and saw a cloud of snow dust flying behind the carriage.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, is that you?"

The clear and hoarse, recognizable voice rang out, which made Lilian slightly taken aback. She thought that Lily Lieber would not come!

Wearing a half-length armor, Lily Lieber, who cut off her long hair and left only a dashing short hair, drove over and drove alongside the carriage. When she saw Zhong Ye sitting on the driver's seat, her eyes narrowed with a smile. When it rises, it looks like two crescent moons.

"Finally caught up!"

Lilian was lying by the window, watching Lily Lieber riding a horse with short hair fluttering in the wind, she couldn't help feeling envious.

so good……

But then she trembled again, realized, and hurriedly checked the barrage, only to find that a large number of people in the live broadcast room had 'betrayed'.

[I want to be Miss Lily's dog], [Who is Lilian?Really unfamiliar], [there is only one 'Lily' in this world, and that is Miss Lily Lieber] and other onset remarks abound, making Lilian tremble all over with anger.

Zhong Ye looked at Lily Lieber's hair fluttering in the wind, and pondered for a while.

"are not you cold?"

"Of course it's cold!" Lily said bluntly, without concealing her enthusiasm, "But I heard that many people fall in love with female knights only because they see this side of them, so I want to try!"

Zhong Ye didn't back down, and looked into her fiery eyes, "Is there a possibility that it's because they have sexual desires? It's just a guess, not necessarily true."

Lily blinked, speechless, frowning in distress, is that so?
Looking at her, Zhong Ye suddenly asked: "Did you run out privately?"

"Of course!" The princess puffed up her chest proudly, "Although my father intends to let me go, as a princess, I can't embarrass him. It's better than the king to let his daughter become an adventurer." Those who come here are good."

The palace was heavily guarded, and if the king hadn't deliberately let her go, she would never have escaped.

Although everyone knew what was going on, at least on the bright side, the king's face was saved, and all the faults were on Lily.

"Now that I have escaped, those great nobles can no longer use my marriage as a fuss, and get involved in my father's throne. I am relieved, and my father is also relieved. Everyone is happy!"

Joyful laughter scattered in the wind and floated in all directions.

As far as the status of a 'princess' is concerned, Lily Lieber is not a tragedy, at least she has the power and ability to choose, but for some reason, Zhong Ye has a pitiful feeling that she is 'forced to smile'.

Maybe it's because he understands the pain of being away from home, being unable to return home, and needing to stay away from the pain of his parents and relatives...

After walking for a while, Zhong Ye stopped the carriage, sighed, and said to the trembling Lily Lieber: "You should sit in the carriage."

Sniffing, Lily didn't dare to be brave anymore, and obediently handed the horse to Zhong Ye, and then got into the carriage with her luggage.

Zhong Ye and the horse Lily handed over to him looked at each other, wondering, "Is your horse not a war horse?"

"I'm not a fool to bring a war horse when I go out on an adventure, and I can't take care of the war horse by myself, so I just brought a horse out." Lily's muffled voice came from the carriage.

This one is a draft horse, but it is a horse for the court, and it looks good.

Zhong Ye shook his head slightly, took out a set of spare wires and ropes from the cabinet under the coachman's seat, and equipped the new draft horse, then sat back in the carriage, flicked the reins lightly, and made the two horses move.

However, their steps are different, and just walking makes the carriage shake a little.

Zhong Ye sighed, let's get used to it slowly...
