Consort, stop

After Chu Ruoyuan left the imperial city, she whipped the horse several times in a row.The horse was in pain, and the speed was much faster.Fortunately, the four girls who came out with her were also first-class in riding skills. Although the mount was not as good as Chu Ruoyuan's, they still managed to catch up with a certain princess who was not used to horses with a stable foundation.

It is the first time to ride a horse at night, and the speed does not mean that the person concerned is not worried.No, Dong Xue saw that His Royal Highness was leaving faster and faster, and in the end she couldn't see it and used her lightness kung fu to catch up.Sitting behind Chu Ruoyuan, he wrapped His Highness in his arms and helped him subdue the horse.

The rumble of hooves in the night and the last yelp of a horse are the last noises.Chu Ruoyuan was carried off the horse by Dong Xue, and sat aside with Xia Yu's support. "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Thinking that she, Chu Ruoyuan, had also learned riding skills for a long time, she wouldn't be so embarrassed and almost thrown off by Fei'er no matter what.Could it be that he was too excited just now and whipped the whip a little harder?Thinking of this, Chu Ruoyuan looked uneasy at Fei'er who was tied up with the hemp rope.Seeing that the horse was looking for food, I felt much more at ease. "I'm fine. Don't call your Highness or anything when you are out. I will change into men's clothes when I find an inn to settle down tomorrow."

"But Your Highness..."

"It's more convenient to wear men's clothes outside." Chu Ruoyuan's words undoubtedly swallowed the unspoken meaning of those girls. "It's okay if you don't want to wear men's clothes. Rest well, let's go." I didn't feel any serious problems with my feet when I stood up, but I almost fell after taking two steps.If it wasn't for Dongxue's quick hands, Chu Ruoyuan might have come into close contact with the ground. "Your Highness, I think it's better to find a place to rest now. You can't go far like this."

Xia Yu saw that her highness still wanted to refute something, so she jumped out and said something like this: "Yes, your highness, you were shocked just now, and your feet are a little weak now, so let's start tomorrow."

When the other three girls heard this, they shouted in unison: "Xia Yu!"

Xia Yu said aggrievedly: "What are you doing? I am also helping His Highness, my feet are weak and I can't walk, and my speed will be much slower."

When everyone saw it, they could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly. "Hmph! I'm ignoring you."

"Pfft. Qiushuang, go and see Xia Yu. This child is probably going to throw a tantrum again." Chu Ruoyuan was sitting on the floor that the girls had already paved, rubbing her weak legs with her hands.Seeing Xia Yu's look like I was hurt, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh too much, so she could only hold back her smile and let Qiu Shuang go over to see if the child had lost his temper again.

No sleep for one night.

After falling asleep unbearably sleepy, the sun is already high when I wake up.

Chu Ruoyuan got up and packed her luggage, only then saw her maids were busy.Tidying up last night's wreckage and getting ready for breakfast. "Your Highness, you are awake."

“It smells good~”

"His Royal Highness, wait for a while, it will be fine soon."

Even if you are outside, it can be said to be a very happy thing to eat a fragrant breakfast early in the morning.Chu Ruoyuan took the freshly cooked breakfast, took a sip, and said to Qiushuang: "I don't know which man will be so lucky that he can marry us Qiushuang as his wife in the future."

Qiushuang's face flushed and then turned green, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Qiushuang has decided to stay with His Highness and not marry for the rest of her life."

Just when Chu Ruoyuan was about to help this person up and said that she was just teasing, the other three girls also knelt down, expressing that they would never marry to accompany her.This made Chu Ruoyuan both moved and helpless, and said with a smile: "Then let's do this for now. When you find your true son, come and explain to me that I will definitely let you get married! If your husband bullies you or does something wrong to you, I will definitely get it back twice as much!"

After many years, these four girls have learned what it means to get back twice as much, even though they all stood aside and watched the adult suffer the torture.

The five wandered around the official road without a clue for a long time until a convoy passed by.Thinking that this convoy would definitely pass through the town, Chu Ruoyuan immediately decided to follow this convoy.But Ruyi made a good plan, and the other party seemed to be on his way.There is no meaning of rest, all the way to speed up.

Even if the foundation is good, it can't stand such a toss, when the team stops to rest.Chu Ruoyuan and the others were already a little tired.Chunfeng and Dongxue, whose martial arts foundation is better than the three of them, are also a little out of breath now.It's like running for miles.

Naturally, someone in the convoy noticed the five people, but no one went to greet them.Just sitting silently with the things in his hands, what to do or what to do.Completely as if you didn't see it.Chu Ruoyuan, who finally found the time to rest, naturally would not let it go. After getting off the horse, she felt her legs ache.He beat his legs helplessly. "Princess, do you want to drink water if you are thirsty?"

"Not yet thirsty. Qiushuang, let's ask passers-by later to see where the nearby towns are."

Qiu Shuang was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Princess, are you looking for a town?"

"Of course."

"There's a place not far away."

"How did you know?"

"It's drawn on the map."

"..."

It was dusk when the five arrived in a nearby town.After finding a restaurant for dinner, I lay down and rested.It wasn't until the second day that I went to buy a few sets of men's clothes to wear.The four girls were determined not to wear men's clothes, saying that they were used to wearing women's clothes.Chu Ruoyuan had no choice but to change into a man's attire alone, and appeared in front of the four girls holding a folding fan. "male……"

"What's the matter? How about this son?"

Xia Yu was a little crazy: "Young master is so beautiful..."

Chu Ruoyuan gave Xia Yu a sap without mercy. "It's so beautiful, it's obviously handsome and unrestrained."

"My lord...then you don't have to hit it so hard. Xia Yu's head hurts so much." Xia Yu, who was still a nympho just now, is holding her head aggrievedly and looking at her master who is playing with the folding fan in his hand. . "If you're calling the wrong one, it's not that simple, you know?"

Xia Yu said unconvinced: "But young master, why do you only tell me so."

Chu Ruoyuan looked at the other three and burst out laughing. "Because you always call wrong. Well, let's go. I want to take advantage of these few days to have fun."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The four girls looked at Chu Ruoyuan's leaving back, and all of them thought about their big wedding next month.At that time, there will probably be no such time for fooling around.

He just lost his mind for a while, and when he regained his mind, the master was already confused with passers-by.

This time the four girls were in a hurry, after thinking about it, they divided into two groups to look for them, and they would meet here at sunset, regardless of whether they found anyone or not.It's no wonder, you can't lose one after another, too scattered is not good at all.And... I'm still a little bit worried when I'm still new to the folks.

It took Chu Ruoyuan a quarter of an hour to realize that the four girls hadn't followed. After looking around several times, she finally realized the reality that they were not there.After walking back for a few steps, I was squeezed in the opposite direction by a group of excited passers-by.When Chu Ruoyuan was really unbearable and ready to make a move, she heard a gong beating.

"Today, Lin set up a ring here to recruit relatives for the little girl. All unmarried men under 40 can participate in this contest to recruit relatives. Lin doesn't say much, and we can start now." I saw a man standing on the stage. A man about [-] years old, wearing a blue robe.Stroking his short beard, he clasped his fists at the audience and said.After the man sat in his seat, the person in charge naturally announced the official start of the martial arts competition.

Martial arts competition, as the name suggests, naturally means that the winner will be able to marry the young lady, and force is the final decision.If you are lucky, you will meet a man who will be entrusted to you for life.If you are unlucky, you will end up marrying a chicken and following the chicken and marrying a dog and following the dog.Often, martial arts competitions and recruiting relatives are a dangerous move because they do not want to offend the powerful, and this is also a helpless move.I hope in my heart that the winner will be a beloved man, but it is only right to ask my daughter to entrust her for life.

It's just that the man who called himself Lin who was sitting on the high platform was frowning now, looking at a part of the audience.Chu Ruoyuan, who practiced martial arts since childhood, naturally has several times better eyesight than ordinary people, following the man's gaze to look there, he saw a man sitting there.Dressed in a bright red brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, he was looking at a place on the stage with a smile.

There were no ordinary people standing around the man, as if everyone wanted to keep a distance from this man.Chu Ruoyuan asked a man beside him, "I'm sorry, little brother, what is the background of that man?"

He only listened to the man without looking at the man, and said extremely displeasedly: "Who else is there, isn't it the son of the local parents and officials."

"That……"

"My son is from another place. It's no wonder, I don't know anything about this city. This parent's official surname is Wu, and that is the parent's official's son, named Wu Qi. He is a complete dude, proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. , it is said that he is the master behind the nearby gambling shop. Hey, I really feel sad for Mr. Wu."

"how do I say this?"

"Master Wu is upright, honest and fair, and he is not afraid of power. He is a rare good official. It's just that his sons and heirs are so poor, I really feel sad for Master Wu."

"...Then Master Wu hasn't disciplined him before?"

"Why not? A few years ago, this Mr. Wu was forced to plunder, and Mr. Wu was promoted to try his own son, and he even invited the family of the person involved to attend the court together. At that time, Mr. Wu was sentenced to betrothed, but the person involved begged Love. It was a little lighter, and dozens of boards were hit. I knelt down in court and apologized to the family of the person involved.”

"It seems that he is still a stern and selfless parent officer."

"That's right. The family of the person involved moved out of this place after the incident. It is said that Mr. Wu was worried that Mr. Wu would come to the door while his father was out on inspection. That's why the family moved out early."
