rent a princess

Xia He frowned slightly, the gate guards had always been in the palace to protect the emperor closely, how could they be sent here.He knew very well that the palace had its own rules, and it was better to talk less and do more, so he didn't ask.

Mu Qingfeng asked instead: "Why are the guards of the Qing Dynasty not in the palace protecting the emperor and running out?"

The leading man smiled politely, "The emperor has a task for us."

"Then where are you going? To Xuzhou? We can go together." Lin You asked.

"Let's go to Bianzhou."

"Bianzhou has already been captured by Su Mingbai, don't you know?" Mu Qingfeng followed up with the words, could it be that the news in Jingzhou is so backward.

The man said: "Naturally, we are here to take back Bianzhou."

Hehe, Mu Qingfeng laughed unconsciously. Realizing that it was very rude, he calmed down quickly and said, "Just you people? Although Su Mingbai took the army to Xuzhou, the people left behind in Bianzhou are more than you. That's too much, aren't you giving your life for nothing?"

The man replied: "It's okay, the emperor let us go, of course there are already countermeasures, we just follow the order."

"You go to Bianzhou, can you take me with you?" Lin You thought that instead of going to Xuzhou, it would be better to go back to Bianzhou directly. Mother didn't know what was going on.

Before the man could answer, Mu Qingfeng said first: "No, you follow so many people by yourself, and you don't know each other, how can you do it?"

As soon as the man heard it, he knew that Mu Qingfeng didn't trust them, so he said, "Don't worry, I have no reason to lie to you. I am the guard of the Qing Dynasty, Du Shaohan. If this brother really wants to go, follow us. I can guarantee that he will be brought back to Bianzhou safely, this is our badge."

Xia He stretched out his head slightly, glanced at his waist badge, and nodded towards Mu Qingfeng.

"Du Shaohan?" Lin You seemed to have remembered something, and said in surprise, "You are this year's civil and military champion Du Shaohan?"

"It's down."

"It turned out to be you." Mu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled. He heard that Jingzhou's new champion had written a love poem in praise of the eldest princess and the son-in-law. He never thought that this person is right in front of him now. .

Mu Qingfeng was very lucky to be the number one scholar in civil and military affairs. Fortunately, she didn't take the exam, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.Facing Du Shaohan, seeing his puzzled eyes, Mu Qingfeng introduced himself, "I'm Mu Qingfeng."

Du Shaohan suddenly realized, and nodded again and again, "So you are the son-in-law of the eldest princess, disrespect and disrespect." Saying this, he saluted Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng blushed and said, "Don't, don't, I haven't married the princess yet, brother Du is too polite."

Several people discussed and decided unanimously to send a bodyguard to escort Lin You to Bianzhou with Du Shaohan, and the rest returned to Xuzhou with Mu Qingfeng.

On the way to parting, Du Shaohan said to Mu Qingfeng: "Brother Mu, Xuzhou is full of dangers, and it's not as simple as you imagined. Looking at what happened today, the eldest princess probably knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the mountains, so I don't want to send you out." You fell into Su Mingbai's hands, you go now, take care of yourself, hope to see you in the future."

Mu Qingfeng knew that at this moment, Xiao Suli might have fallen into Su Mingbai's hands. Su Mingbai had always loved Xiao Suli, and if he jumped the wall in a hurry, there was no guarantee that he would not do something that would ruin the princess's reputation.

At this moment, I must go to Xiao Suli, and I must not let this kind of thing happen to Xiao Suli, who has always been noble and aloof. For Xiao Suli, this is more serious than killing her.Regardless of whether the princess is using her body as a bait, I have to go to see her. Bianzhou is a foregone conclusion. Even if she goes back, what happened to the Mu family will not change. If this is the case, then one can be saved.

"Brother Du, take care."

Mu Qingfeng breathed out, turned to Lin You and said, "Lin You, you and I are confidantes, please help me see my family."

Lin You patted Mu Qingfeng's hand, "Don't worry."

The boat was too eye-catching, so Mu Qingfeng and his party went on horseback instead. They rode fast on the road, but they arrived at the gate of Xuzhou in four hours.

I saw that the gate of Xuzhou City was closed tightly, leaving only a small gate for passers-by to enter and exit the city. Everyone who entered and exited the city was subject to inspection, and a hundred officers and soldiers guarded the gate.

"Did we hear that Xuzhou officers and soldiers fought with Su Mingbai's people when we came?" Mu Qingfeng squatted on the ground, hiding behind a big rock, and asked quietly.

"Never, if there is a real fight, there won't be any rumors. It seems that the governor of Xuzhou has surrendered."

Mu Qingfeng frowned, "Did you say the princess is in the city? If she received the news halfway, she should have changed her destination."

Xia He shook his head, "No, the princess's goal is Xuzhou. We persuaded the princess that day. Xuzhou's soldiers are too few. Even if Xuzhou's governor can't defend the city, he is afraid that he will surrender, but the princess still came. As for the reason , we don't know."

Mu Qingfeng sighed, turned around, sat on the ground, and patted the dust off his hands, "Your princess is such a bad temper. Let's not talk about her, let's find a way to enter the city first. It looks like we can't enter during the day the city."

Xia He nodded in agreement, "It's only at night. Let's find some hemp rope and climb into the city at night. You can't go through the gate, there will be an ambush."

At night, a few people ate a few roasted pheasants to barely satisfy their hunger, and the moonlight hid in the clouds, which was a good time to do it.

"Master Mu, I'll go up first, and then I'll drop the hemp rope for you, and you can climb up along the hemp rope." A guard looked at Xia He and said to Mu Qingfeng.

"You go up second, I'm behind you, can you persist in climbing up?" Xia He looked at Mu Qingfeng's physique, and asked very caringly.

"Don't look at me as thin, I'm very strong." Mu Qingfeng replied bravely.

The few people just climbed up and ran a few steps along the city wall when they were spotted by patrolling soldiers, and arrows fell like raindrops for a moment.

"You guys, first send Mr. Mu away to our secret base in Xuzhou. The princess should be there. The two of us go to distract them. Remember, don't be followed and hurt the princess." Xia He finished , pointing to another guard, the two jumped out to the side, followed by the officers and soldiers holding torches.

Looking at the rows of officers and soldiers, Mu Qingfeng was very worried about Xia He.

"Young Master Mu, let's go, if you don't go, it will be too late." The two guards each grabbed Mu Qingfeng's arm and ran forward.

"Xiahe and the others will be okay?" Mu Qingfeng asked while running.It was she who asked to come back, if something happened to Xiahe and the others, how could I feel sorry for them.

The guards looked left and right, and pulled Mu Qingfeng to turn one corner after another, "Probably not, we have done errands in Xuzhou before, and we are very familiar with the roads here, even the King of Qi would not dare to use Xuzhou It would be even better if they used their own officers and soldiers to patrol the city. Soldiers from the frontier don’t come back once in a few years, and they won’t be able to catch up with them without guidance. Don’t worry, Mr. Mu, come with me.”

The three turned around, and finally ran into a small alley. A guard walked to the door and knocked on the door six times. A man's voice came from inside the door.

"It's so late, what are you doing?"

The guard replied, "I'm looking for a doctor."

"Too late, tomorrow."

"It's only tonight. I'm suffering from a sudden illness. A pregnant woman is bleeding heavily after giving birth. I need a doctor to help me."

Hearing this, the people inside the door opened the door and said, "Quick, come in."

Mu Qingfeng watched this series of operations dully. She suddenly realized that it was right for the princess to arrange her own departure. It was only at this moment that she fully understood that this was a battlefield, not a play, and any point was extremely small. Mistakes can cause great harm.Suddenly, she thought of Xia He and the others again.

"Master Mu?"

After walking through three rooms in a row, Mu Qingfeng saw Ms. Lin when she raised her eyes.Seeing her surprised eyes, Mu Qingfeng turned around and wanted to run away, she was a little afraid to see Xiao Sulu.

The person in the cabinet who had been talking in the room seemed to have heard what Ms. Lin said, and stopped talking, and said for a long time, "That's all for today. Everyone, go back and have a good rest. We will discuss it tomorrow."

"Yes!" There was another uniform voice in the cabinet.

One after another, people came out of the cabinet, until the last person left for a long time, and Mu Qingfeng did not see Xiao Sulu's figure.

Miss Lin lowered her head, not knowing what to think, and looked at Mu Qingfeng with complicated eyes halfway.

"Come in!" A stern voice came from inside the cabinet.

Mu Qingfeng looked at Ms. Lin, who immediately looked away and did not meet her eyes.Walk slowly into the door.

Xiao Sulu sat on the grand teacher's chair, staring straight at Mu Qingfeng, expressionless.

"Princess..." Mu Qingfeng called out tentatively.

Xiao Suli frowned beautifully, and replied after a while: "Who told you to come back?" His tone was not as severe as before, but it was not gentle either.

"Do you think I will be moved?" Xiao Suli sat motionless.

Mu Qingfeng took a few steps forward, "I, I just don't want to escape alone."

"I will rescue your family and send them to Jingzhou to be with you."

Mu Qingfeng took a few steps forward, "I don't just care about my family, I also care about you."

Xiao Sulu paused, and said again: "I'm fine, there are so many people around me, what will happen?"

Mu Qingfeng sat slumped on the chair with a dejected expression on her face. She never thought about this, never thought that Xiao Suli didn't need her at all.Yes, the princess is far-sighted, so what is she worth? Her existence will only bring her troubles, and she will be distracted to protect herself in the future.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingfeng felt a sense of frustration in his heart.Before, she never realized that the gap between herself and Xiao Sulu was so big.It is like the clouds in the sky and the soil on the ground.

Seeing Mu Qingfeng's appearance, Xiao Su couldn't bear it, got up, stepped forward, touched her ear, and said, "Since you're back, come back. If you come, you'll be safe. Don't think too much about it."
