Chapter 164 Don't Be Brave
Chapter 164 Don't be brave
Xiao Rongyan handed the black gold horsewhip in his hand to the guards, walked up to the prince and bowed again, with a warm, mellow and elegant temperament all over his body.
His smiling eyes looked at Bai Qingyan with deep eyes, and his calm eyes were extremely restrained and profound, as if he could see everything.
Seeing her dressed in men's clothes, and looking like a stunning and picturesque noble son from a noble family, one can't help but think of her heroic demeanor on a war horse and silver spear in the palace of the Kingdom of Shu.
He bowed to Bai Qingyan, "Young Master Bai."
Bai Qingyan returned the salute with a graceful gesture: "Mr. Lao Xiao will take care of my younger brother."
Seeing the shoes under Bai Qingyan's feet, Xiao Rongyan asked warmly: "Master Bai doesn't take a carriage?"
"I heard that walking can strengthen your body, so just give it a try." Bai Qingyan said calmly.
"Let's go! We're about to set off!" The crown prince said to Xiao Rongyan, and then to Bai Qing, "Master Bai got into the carriage if he couldn't hold on, and marched extremely fast, don't try to be brave."
Bai Qingyan saluted the prince: "Remember the words."
The prince pulled Xiao Rongyan into the carriage, and the accompanying general arranged for Xiao Rongyan's people to follow behind, and the army was ready to set off.
"Fourth son, get in the carriage!" Xiao Ruohai said to Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi threw the silver gun, long whip and bundle into the carriage, and trotted back to Bai Qingyan: "I'm walking with Eldest Sister."
As the horn sounded and the army set off, Bai Jinzhi followed Bai Qingyan anxiously: "Sister, don't be angry, I'm just afraid that you will let Xiao Ruohai send me back to Dadu! My grandfather didn't let me go to the battlefield because I thought I'm not sure enough, but the situation is different now! I can't just watch my eldest sister go to the southern border to take risks, and live in the capital city to enjoy the blessings."
Seeing the elder sister looking ahead and only looking forward, Bai Jinzhi's eyes turned red: "Eldest sister, I have martial arts skills. I don't want to go to southern Xinjiang to make contributions, but I just want to be by my side and protect my elder sister with my body! Eldest sister is us. The backbone of the sisters, and Xiao Si is the most useless person in our Bai family, if there is any difficulty in this trip, Xiao Si is willing to lay down his life for the elder sister!"
She listened to Bai Jinzhi's choked-up words, her heart was filled with emotions and feelings.
"Little Four is going to be successful, and Ning can't be called back even if he is with others! Did he really go wild as soon as he went out?" Bai Qingyan lowered his voice.
"Be willful on the outside, calm on the inside...I remember what the elder sister said about Xiaosi!" Bai Jinzhi said, looking in the direction of the prince's carriage, and lowered his voice, "It's not Xiaosi who keeps his temper from coming back." , but Xiao Si thinks that Mr. Xiao is a bit weird, and wants to stay with him to investigate in detail."
Bai Jinzhi said such words suddenly, which surprised her.
Xiao Rongyan, who was sitting in the carriage with the crown prince, narrowed his eyes suddenly, turned his head and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage which swayed with the sway of the carriage, looked at Bai Jinzhi who was approaching Bai Qingyan to speak, his eyes couldn't help falling on the slender and beautiful figure on Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes as if feeling something, her eyes met, seeing Xiao Rongyan just staring at her quietly, her heart skipped a beat, guessing that Xiao Rongyan might have heard Bai Jinzhi's words, she quickly took a few steps to block her sister behind her.
She knew that Xiao Rongyan was powerful, a single peanut could be used as a weapon to hurt people, and it was nothing new for Lian Jiazi to have amazing hearing, but she never expected that Bai Jinzhi's voice was so soft, surrounded by the sound of wheels and footsteps, that Xiao Rongyan could still hear You can see how powerful this person is.
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan's movements, slowly lowered the curtain, smiled warmly and said to the prince: "Miss Bai is already weak, so I'm afraid she won't be able to walk like this?"
The crown prince shook his head and leaned on the soft pillow: "Miss Bai walked for a whole day yesterday, she was in the army after all."
Seeing that the elder sister moved a few steps faster, Bai Jinzhi was afraid that the elder sister would think she was aimless, so he hurriedly chased after a few steps and said, "Really elder sister! The people around Mr. Xiao are all very skilled, and there is no one who steals, rapes, and is lazy." , and the words and deeds are very neat, the self-discipline is extremely high, and orders are prohibited! This... is not something that ordinary businessmen can do, it looks like a well-trained military soldier."
Since she couldn't clearly tell Xiao Si Xiao Rongyan's identity, and she couldn't let Xiao Rongyan think that Xiao Si knew his identity and was going to inform him, she didn't stop Xiao Si from talking.
"Besides, last night I wanted to sneak a look at the goods they escorted to Pingyang City this time, and found that the goods were actually led by extremely skilled dark guards. They said that the goods were ordinary spices, most of which were grass plants, and medicines Most of them are grass plants, mixed with various flavors, can they be clearly distinguished? Besides, the wagon wheels full of herbs can't leave such deep rut marks. I suspect that their huge cargo is herbs and weapons! Long Sister... Do you think Xiao Rongyan is a spy from Xiliang or Nanyan?"
"It's great that you can pay attention to so much when you're away from home!" She was relieved that Bai Jinzhi, who has always been carefree, can observe these things, "But in terms of Shang, the southern border battlefield is now bounded by Tianmen Pass and Fengcheng. Located in the area of Feng County, Heixiong Mountain, and Luofeng Canyon, it belongs to the east of Nanjiang, and the counties of Pingyang City to the west of Nanjiang are relatively stable, but the price of herbal medicine and body protection weapons is extremely high. Xiao Rongyan used to be profitable in transporting herbal medicine weapons, why is it so strange? ?”
"Then why does he want to hide people's eyes and ears? Why not be generous?" Bai Jinzhi was puzzled.
"There are business ways in business, and every line is like a mountain. If you want to know the way inside, you can ask Mr. Xiao."
Bai Jinzhi heard that the elder sister did not doubt Xiao Rongyan, and said: "Actually, Xiao Si also understands that Mr. Xiao helped the Bai family when they were in trouble. This kindness can at least give Mr. Xiao a chance to explain. Xiao Si is going to find out. After I got it, I told my elder sister to ask Mr. Xiao again, this is righteousness...Xiaosi did not forget."
She nodded in satisfaction: "Xiaosi has grown up."
"Eldest sister...then you don't blame me, do you? Then you won't send me back to Dadu, will you?" Bai Jinzhi approached happily and asked.
"All the way until the return, you are by my side, you can't leave me every step of the way, otherwise I will immediately let the breast brother tie you up for eight hundred miles and send you back to the third aunt in a hurry."
Hearing elder sister's words, Bai Jinzhi was very happy, nodded repeatedly, and followed Bai Qingyan in a proper manner.
But the further he went along the road, the more uncomfortable Bai Jinzhi felt.
She saw that the elder sister's clothes were soaked with sweat, she still didn't get in the car and insisted on walking, her steps were firm and never slowed down the team.
When they arrived at Baiwo City at night, the eldest sister untied the iron sandbags wrapped in her clothes, and she was able to wring out the water.
When Bai Qingyan was taking a bath, Bai Jinzhi came out of the house without saying a word, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Ruohai: "Sister, the past two days have been...wrapped around such a heavy iron sandbag?!"
"The eldest girl is able to get used to it today, and tomorrow she will increase the weight. The eldest girl wants to pick up the sun-shooting bow before arriving in southern Xinjiang, and she uses such methods because of time constraints."
Xiao Rongyan: Happy, I walked with my wife for a day, it would be great if there is no prince!
Prince: Am I also the Pearl of the Night?
Xiao Rongyan: The whole army is...
