Imperial Favour - Chapter 32
After spending a few days on the boat, Tang Zhuozuo looked thin even though he drank medicine every day. Whenever he stood on the bow of the boat, he felt like he was about to be blown away by the wind.
Seeing that he would be in Xijiang in three days, Tang Zhuozhao started to vomit again, with no energy at all. When Huo Qiu saw her vomiting for the third time, he directly gave the order.
Disembark from the front pier and take the land. Tang Zhuozuo couldn’t persuade him no matter how much he persuaded, for fear of delaying the trip, he was extremely conscious when he took medicine every day.
Fortunately, after changing the carriage, her stomach finally got better, and she no longer hung up like a bottomless uncomfortable panic.
Huo Qiu’s face looks better now.
On the last night, Xijiang looked close at hand, Tang Zhuozhuo lifted the curtain of the car and stretched out half of his head to look at the galaxy in the sky. Starlight seemed to flow in his beautiful eyes.
Huo Qiu sat on the soft cushion boldly, discarding the music he had on hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Tang Zhuozuo heard the movement and turned around and asked, “Why is your Highness upset?”
There was a full smile on her slap-sized face, and her innocent appearance suddenly eased the irritability in his heart.
“I just arrived in Liu County, Xijiang County has heard the news, saying that the other courtyard has been repaired, and I am waiting for I to drive.”
He said coldly, with a slight sarcasm in his tone.
Tang Zhuozuo was confused for a moment, and suddenly awakened when he touched his icy sword eyes. Although they traveled low-key and pretended to be rich sons, the news leaked out early, and it is not surprising that Xijiang County Shouneng knew.
However, Huo Qiu came to rectify the officials to investigate the situation. The people of Xijiang are not living and complaining. At this time, as the county guard of Xijiang, not only did not appease the people, but instead worked hard to build the other courtyard. It is no wonder that Huo Qiu was angry. Mindless.
Tang Zhuozuo couldn’t say anything, he just turned his head slightly and said, “His Royal Highness and Mr. Liu are both incomparable in their tactics, and they will surely be able to handle this mess.”
Huo Qiu’s expression moved slightly, becoming more and more unpredictable.
She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she has never been out of Kyoto, but after listening to him, she knew that Xijiang was a mess.
Should she say that she is too smart to get through, or is she hiding a lot of things he doesn’t know?
Tang Zhuozuo just said unintentionally. Seeing that he closed his eyes, he stopped making a sound, and then asked softly: “His Royal Highness, are we going to live in the prefecture?”
Huo Qiu lifted his eyelids and curled his lips: “Of course not. Before I came here, I ordered someone to buy two houses, and then I will put you there.”
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned, raised his face in front of him, and asked softly: “Your Highness does not live with me?”
Huo Qiu slowly opened his eyes, and looked at most of the petite person who was leaning over with a smile. He stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms.
“Jiaojiao want to live with loneliness?”
His voice was mellow and slightly hoarse, and he was particularly charming in the small carriage, and he also had a hint of unnoticeable seduction. Tang Zhuozhuo blinked, almost indulging in those secluded eyes.
“Naturally, there is a place. His Royal Highness said that Xijiang is in chaos, bandits and thieves are infested, and the concubine is left in the house. Your Highness can rest assured?”
Huo Qiu was silent, and then stretched out his hand to caress her dark and smooth hair. The pleasant fragrance on it made people feel refreshed. After a while, her chest vibrated a few times and Shen Shen laughed: “Just you will be stubborn.”
Saying this at any time, the words are full of doting.
No matter how chaotic Xijiang is, can she go to the residence of the princess? When the time comes, it will definitely be impenetrable inside and out. The two knew it well, but they both understood and pretended to be confused. One opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the other was willing to get used to it.
Tang Zhuozuo heard his ears become hot, but on his face he disapproved, slowly withdrew from the man’s embrace, caressing the glamorous color flowing in his crystal nails, and said: “No matter, your Highness is busy with a lot of people. It’s also great to walk around.”
Huo Qiu’s eyes were more smiling.
What a little trick.
Although he was prepared in his heart, Tang Zhuozuo was shocked by the sight before him when he arrived at Xijiang.
They had only entered the Xijiang River for more than ten miles. There were steep cliffs on both sides, strange mountains towering strange rocks, countless creeks crisscrossing and crystal clear, but Tang Zhuozuo had no intention of marveling at such wonders.
Their carriage was blocked by the bandits ahead!
Where have Zhang Desheng and An Xia seen bandits gathered together? They all turned pale with fright and tried to calmly stand in front of their carriage.
The bandits also knew the goods, regardless of the carriage carrying Liu Hanjiang’s family behind, they were all blocked in front of Tang Zhuozuo, each of them showed a fierce look, and they did not act rashly for a while, and they seemed a bit well-trained. .
An Xia cleared his throat and looked at the bandit leader in front of him and said: “Everyone, my master will go to the west to find relatives. I have no intention of disturbing you. I hope you can tell me.”
After all, Quan’an caught Li Desheng’s eyes and took a few gold ingots to the bandit headed by him.
A scar on the bandit leader’s face snaked from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, like a ferocious centipede. From a distance, it looked as if half of his face had been cut off.
At this moment, he bit the gold ingots in his hand, laughed a few times and threw them to the brother behind him, with a muffled voice, and said: “Unexpectedly, he is still a big shot!”
“Brothers, our brothers are lucky!”
In the carriage, Tang Zhuozhuo’s pretty face turned cold, but she had never seen this battle before, and her hand holding the skirt trembling slightly, but the man beside her still looked calm and calm, even her eyelids. Haven’t turned it off.
“His Royal Highness.” She tilted her head to take away the book in his hand, her voice was soft and low, and her eyebrows frowned slightly: “Is it going to fight later?”
The countless guards around him took turns guarding during the day and night. Tang Zhuozuo had nothing to worry about, but now it is different. In order to avoid the scrutiny of the people behind Xijiang, they chose such a ravine to cross the road. If there is a conflict, Huo Qiu Ding will be exposed.
Huo Qiujian’s eyebrows were thick and he nodded slightly. He was impatient when he heard the arrogant laughter outside. He wanted to issue an order when he moved his index finger, but Tang Zhuozuo took his finger.
“His concubine, let the concubine come forward and talk about it. These bandits love money. Let’s give them something. After waiting here, no one cares how they died silently.”
Huo Qiu raised his eyes and said without thinking, “No.”
“If it doesn’t work, then it won’t be too late for your Highness to do it again, okay?” She said softly and gently pulled his dark black sleeves.
Huo Qiu’s eyes fixed on her face for a moment, then he said, “Time for a stick of incense.”
Tang Zhuozhuo adjusted his sleeves when he heard the words and smiled.
The bandit leader outside just finished laughing and saw that the car curtain was gently opened by a slender jade hand, and An Xia was also surprised and hurried to help her out.
When Tang Zhuozhuo got out of the carriage, the bandits suddenly felt that their breathing was stagnant. The beauty was dressed in a delicate skirt with black hair and snow skin and slender waist. All hook out.
Tang Zhuozuo only glanced at the bandits and dropped his eyes, and said softly, “Dear fellows, can you take advantage of it?”
The bandit leader was stunned, his expression became serious after the reaction, and he looked at Tang Zhuozhuo closely, his face sullen and did not speak.
A brawny bald man behind him looked straight ahead and urged the bandit leader, saying: “Big brother, what are we waiting for? It’s not beautiful to rob this beauty on the mountain and get both man and money.”
As soon as his words came out, several bandits resonated.
Or the bandit leader shouted angrily and said: “Are you blind? Look at the official lady who is waiting for the idlers like this?”
When the bandits saw it, they suddenly became sober.
How could this beauty be raised from the poor mountains and bad waters of Xijiang? Not to mention anything else, just look at the clothes of this body, the material they have never seen before, and at first glance it is unusual.
Thinking about it this way, they are in trouble. If this really robs people up the mountain, and within a few days, the family who got the news will find it, it may be a big Buddha. Although they are extremely fierce in their bones, they don’t want to lose it for nothing. Killed!
But if you just retreat like this, wouldn’t it be a joke?
Tang Zhuozuo seemed to have guessed their thoughts, and pulled the long hair around his temples and said, “If you can borrow the way, you can give it to you all the jewelry you bring.”
Bai Debao, for bandits, is extremely attractive.
The bandit leader was really tempted, but still hesitated. With a long knife in his hand, he pointed to the carriage behind and said, “There are still people there?”
Tang Zhuo’s heart was stagnant, and he frowned slowly.
Inside there was Liu Hanjiang’s family.
However, Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips while he was thinking about it. He walked to the carriage and stretched out his tender palm.
“Sister, come out and show your face.”
In fact, I am not sure. Liu Hanjiang’s wife went early in her previous life. She has never seen one, and she doesn’t know what her personality is, whether she is smart or not.
Tang Zhuozhuo sighed inwardly, also a little troublesome. The intrigue in the court is really annoying.
She didn’t even think about it long, when a slender hand stretched out from the carriage, the woman was gentle like water, and even her voice was delicate.
Before the bandits had recovered their senses, they saw a homing pigeon standing on Ye’s shoulder hovering into the sky, and suddenly it became a black spot and disappeared.
Such a change made the bandit leader’s eyes sharp, and he shouted angrily: “What did you do?”
Ye clan ignored them, with a cold and gentle look, pulling Tang Zhuozhuo and saying, “I just sent a letter to Daddy. Seeing that we are here, my aunt should send someone to pick us up.”
Her voice was a little hoarse, but not too big or too small just enough for the bandits to hear, and suddenly looked at each other without thinking.
Tang Zhuozhuo lowered his eyes, stared at Ye’s trembling hands, patted them comfortingly, then turned around and said to the bandit leader: “My sister is not in good health and can’t stand for long. If you see enough, let us go. past.”
After that, she winked at Quan’an, “Give them the silver pair we brought.”
Quan’an was also a very clever person. He immediately took out a bag of objects from the cage he was carrying and handed it to the bandit leader.
When the bandit leader saw it, his face trembled, and he opened the package without saying a word, and his eyes were flashed by the brilliant golden light.
He took a deep breath and thought about the two beauties in front of him, but he had to restrain himself.
He made a gesture and shouted: “Let them pass.”
Tang Zhuozuo and Ye’s body loosened at the same time.
Tang Zhuozuo shook Ye’s hand and said gently: “Sister, go back to the carriage, and you will catch the wind and cold again later, my parents will feel distressed again.”
Ye clan pushed the boat along the river and nodded, and An Xia waited on him into the carriage.
Tang Zhuozuo lowered his eyes, winked at Zhang Desheng, opened the half-width car curtain and got in.
As soon as she entered, Huo Qiu was caught in her arms vigorously. The man’s breath was scorching hot on her delicate neck, she shivered slightly, and heard his slightly angry voice.
“Why bother with them?”
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn’t understand his moody temperament, so he lay down in his arms, raising his eyebrows and said, “I can do everything my concubine can do. If they don’t know how to understand each other, they will be **** by his highness.”
Huo Qiu reached out his hand and stroked the delicate flower at the corner of her eye, his eyes became more eager.
“Jiaojiao, but want to make up for loneliness?” He was actually not sure, but she had changed too much. If it hadn’t been for this little temper, he would almost think it was two people.
After mentioning Liu Hanjiang with him many times, he became vigilant and sent more secret guards to protect him, to relieve himself of the poison, and now he was born to block the bandits in order not to expose him.
Even when she came up, her little hands were still cold and not half the temperature.
She is obviously scared!
But why does she feel owed to him? Why do you want to compensate him?
Tang Zhuozhuo’s body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly recovered. He lowered his eyes and smiled, charming and tender, caring about the bandits outside, and his voice was deliberately suppressed: “His concubine has flattened the bandits, shouldn’t it be Does your Highness compensate your concubine?”
The breath she exhaled spread to a large area of her chest through the clothing, and she whispered like a cat in her ear, Huo Qiu slowly smiled, “What Jiaojiao wants, I will give it to the lone.”
