Spring Forest Evening

Chapter 390 Stay

After saying these words, even though they have undergone rigorous training and the life-and-death test of Cuiwei Palace, the three young Huben Guards remained silent.

If the nanny sent by Empress Jiang accidentally set fire to Cuiwei Palace, they just thought it was a harem fighting trick.Later, when I learned that the Queen Mother and her daughter were going out of the city at night, they still took it for granted that the city gate officials had been arranged in advance.If you really want to talk about it, you don't need these nobles to contribute in person, so subconsciously, you always imagine them as delicate people.

Now that they saw/heard the cruelty of the deep palace mother and daughter with their own eyes, the three of them began to think deeply about this matter.

Especially the old fifth, after being silent for a while, murmured:

"So look, the water under the Taiye Pond... I don't know how deep it is!"

The other two didn't answer the question. The third child opened the curtain and looked. The carriage in front was still watching. In the silence, the horseshoes were kicking, and they were rushing to the dark destination ahead.

And in the front carriage, facing the little prince who was still open-eyed and refused to sleep, the second child who was in a dilemma later adopted the method of drawing with comparison under Zhou Heng's suggestion, and finally explained the matter clearly. , So similarly, except for the little prince clapping his hands and watching it very interestingly, the other two adults were also silent.

Although Zhou Heng had already expected that the mother and daughter of the Queen Mother must have been planning for a long time, he did not expect that the two of them could plan so carefully. Every step and every moment was so thoughtful. The two boats drifted away slowly, leaving behind a mess and bleakness, and they almost shuddered when they heard:

These two are terrible!

The boss of the guard was also silent for a while, but seeing Zhou Heng's lingering fear, he quickly comforted him:

"Miss, don't worry. Fortunately, we left in time. The officers and soldiers who want to come to the city will take a while to rush over, ah, no!"

Speaking of which, Zhou Heng slapped his thigh suddenly, so frightened that Zhou Heng hurriedly asked him:

"What's wrong?"

Could it be that something went wrong and I couldn't leave?

"Miss, don't be afraid," the guard boss hurriedly explained to her, "It has nothing to do with us."

"The subordinate just suddenly thought that since the mother and daughter were so calm when they left, they must have calculated that the officers and soldiers would not chase them, or that there was nothing they could do about it."

After saying this, he paused, then shook his head and overturned his statement:

"No! The commander of the majestic Shence Army was killed in full view. The officers and soldiers must be dispatched, but what happens after they are dispatched? The queen mother and daughter did not go far, but they chose the comfortable and slow way without worrying at all. The waterway, that can only show that whether it is the Shence Army or the city defense of Gyeonggi Province that night, they are already under their control! Yes, it must be like this! It’s really a good plan!"

Hearing this, Zhou Heng hugged the somewhat boring little guy face-in and patted it unconsciously in his arms, and began to think in his mind.

Commander Yao of the Shence Army, Empress Jiang once thought he was her man, but now the two guards think he is a man loyal to the emperor. Such a man, no matter how you look at it, can only be an enemy to the three princesses. It's not a friend, so before they go south and return to Zhongnan Road, it makes sense to "smoothly" pull out such a nail household that is not good for them.

And to be able to leave so confidently and leisurely after the murder, in this "smoothness", it must have taken a lot of thought to plan in advance, except for the very tight time of the ship's response, and the consideration of being wiped out. The reaction of the Shence Army, as well as the speed at which the officers and soldiers in Gyeonggi-do arrived and the subsequent reaction...

Thinking of this, and referring to the situation at the Xiashui City Gate, Zhou Heng felt:

"Is there someone like them in the Shence Army? Something happened to the commander-in-chief. It is said that they will always come to arrest the murderer, including the officers and soldiers of Gyeonggi Province. The mother and daughter of the Queen Mother are not worried at all. It's all within their control, but this is a bit unreasonable, if you really want to control it, you don't need to do it yourself like this, right?"

"Then it can only be said that even if they are watching them leave by boat, someone may come out later and give the Shence Army and even the officers and soldiers of Gyeonggi Province a convincing reason in time to make them stop chasing the murderer voluntarily! "

After talking about it, Zhou Heng felt that his thinking was correct. Only in this way could he explain the confidence of the empress dowager mother and daughter. They must have already figured this out!

But what convincing reason would it be... "Miss, don't think too much," the guard boss saw her face thinking hard, interrupted her with a light cough, and then softly signaled her:

"Young master seems to be about to fall asleep!"

Seeing this, Zhou Heng lowered his head and looked. Sure enough, the little guy rested his head on his body and his eyes were closed. Okay, let’s stop thinking about it:

"Please ask the coachman outside, how long will it take to reach Tangquan Town?"

While talking, he took out the cloak from the side bag and covered the little guy.

The second child raised the curtain and went out to ask, then came in and said:

"It's okay, it will be here in about half an hour, or Miss, you can also take a nap for a while!"

That's okay, Zhou Heng was a little sleepy from being shaken by the carriage at the moment, so he tightened his cloak and leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed...

The bright moon hangs high, shining a bright light below. When getting off the car, Zhou Heng held the child and carefully identified it. He felt that it should indeed be the Tangquan Town he had been to, and the inn in front of him should also be the place where he brought Chun Yu back then. The family I lived in nodded and asked the guards to give the rest of the money to the two drivers. Seeing the two carriages leaving quickly, they couldn't help but asked a little worriedly:

"These two, should we go back to the city over there?"

The guard boss and the second brother glanced at each other, and then said in a deep voice:

"Miss, don't worry, the second child and the third child will go back to have a look tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Zhou Heng felt sleepy and tired at the moment, so he took the baby and took the lead into the inn: "Let's rest tonight!"

After resting all night, the little guy woke up once, whimpering for some unknown reason, so Zhou Heng had to patiently urinate for him, and then endured his sleepiness and made up a random story about Pleasant Goat to lull him to sleep. , and finally fell asleep somehow.

When he woke up again, the sun was shining again, so after having breakfast at the inn, Zhou Heng found the house that Uncle He rented from his memory, and the sign he relied on was naturally the Wang Ji dry goods store in front of the house. .

There are still father and son in the shop, and the business is still slow, but that little brother Wang was stunned for a long time when he saw Zhou Heng self-declared his family name...
