Chapter 164 Preparation before departure
Before nightfall, everything that needed to be taken was put into the carriage.
Because the situation was special this time, Xiao Yu decided to send out only two carriages.
One was for Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu, driven by Yan Qingyunting; the other was for everyone's minimalist belongings, with Caidie Caiyi sitting inside, driven by Ji Tang and Lai Fu.
This way, if someone attacks, there will be people who know kung fu in both cars.
Su Lingyue lay on the soft bed, looking at Xiao Yu lying beside her in the dim light, "Prince, there are only three people including Ji Tang who know Kung Fu, and the other side has more than a hundred people. Are you sure you can do it?"
The number gap is too big. Even if Xiao Yu has a great strategy, no matter how high the martial arts of Yan Qing, Yun Ting and Ji Tang are, they may not be able to defeat such a huge gap.
Besides, there are two patients, her and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu held her hand and squeezed it gently. His deep eyes looked at Su Lingyue tenderly, "Yue'er, believe me, I won't let you be in danger."
Su Lingyue frowned slightly, "I believe you, but the gap is so big, what if you are in danger? Those people are here to take your life!"
Xiao Yu took Su Lingyue's white and slender fingers, placed them on his lips and kissed them, "I haven't done what I promised you yet, how can I break my promise!"
Su Lingyue looked into Xiao Yu's eyes, which were full of worry. "You still can't tell me the plan?"
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes to avoid Su Lingyue's sight. After a moment, he met Su Lingyue's sight again and said softly, "Yue'er, I don't want to lie to you."
Su Lingyue gazed into Xiao Yu's deep eyes, and Xiao Yu also looked at Su Lingyue, very gently, without blinking.
After a moment, Su Lingyue was finally defeated. She really couldn't figure out what Xiao Yu was thinking.
Su Lingyue closed her eyes and sighed helplessly, "Okay! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! Anyway, adding one more secret to your list is not too many."
After a moment of silence, Su Lingyue heard Xiao Yu's voice again, "I'll tell you everything when this is over."
Su Lingyue didn't understand why Xiao Yu didn't want to talk, but in fact, even if she told him, she couldn't help Xiao Yu. All she could do was worry.
Xiao Yu didn't want to talk about it, probably because he was afraid that she would worry!
After all, at a life-and-death moment, how could there not be danger?
Su Lingyue gently touched Xiao Yu's lips with her fingers and chuckled, "Okay! I believe you. But you must also remember that this body is mine, you must take good care of it."
"it is good."
Xiao Yu leaned over and gave Su Lingyue a light kiss on the cheek.
The warm breath sprinkled on Su Lingyue's cheeks and also sprinkled in Su Lingyue's heart.
Winter nights are especially long. It was already morning, and the sky was still dark outside when the night watchman knocked on the door.
Su Lingyue usually wakes up after the Si hour, but now it is two hours earlier.
Getting up early in winter was even more difficult for her than doing needlework.
She rubbed her head against Xiao Yu's arm unhappily. Xiao Yu gently stroked her back and said softly, "Go on sleeping."
Su Lingyue closed her eyes and felt Xiao Yu getting up, followed by the rustling sound of him getting dressed.
Caidie Caiyi also knocked on the door and came in, bringing hot water for washing.
After knowing today's schedule, Su Lingyue lost her sleepiness.
After finishing her makeup and washing, she had a simple breakfast with Xiao Yu in the room.
By mid-morning, everything was ready.
On the street, Han Feng led a team of imperial guards in front, and another team of imperial guards separated the people from the middle of the road.
Xiao Changshi was wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, a bright yellow cloak, and riding on a red-maned horse. His handsome face and noble temperament made the women on the roadside scream.
Some were so excited that they even wanted to rush forward.
The imperial guards used spears to stop those who wanted to rush out.
Given their status, they were not even worthy of being Xiao Changshi's concubines, and Xiao Changshi did not take them seriously.
Hearing the woman's cheers, Xiao Changshi frowned, then rode on horseback to continue his inspection.
After an inspection, he found that all the troops on the main street had gathered, lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the emperor's order.
On other streets, the carriages of the nobles and ministers were lined up in an orderly manner.
Xiao Changshi looked around but didn't see the carriage from Prince Su's mansion, so he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The emperor had said that the fire in Prince Su's and Duke Dingguo's mansions might be the wrath of heaven.
Therefore, Prince Su and his wife, as well as Duke Ding and his wife, had to go to Longhua Temple in person to apologize and comfort God.
I have seen the carriage from Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but not from Prince Su's Mansion.
Xiao Changshi decided to go to Prince Su's Mansion in person.
He wanted to confirm the military talisman that Su Lingyue’s personal maid mentioned yesterday.
Xiao Changshi asked the guards to wait for him there, and he rode to Prince Su's mansion on horseback.
When he arrived outside the mansion, he saw Su Lingyue. She was wearing an orange-red cross-collar silk long jacket with red patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs, and rabbit fur trimmed on the collar and cuffs. She was wearing a white fox fur cloak. She climbed onto Xiao Yu's neck, staying quietly in Xiao Yu's arms, allowing Xiao Yu to hold her and walk out.
The delicate little face looks very charming under the white hood.
Xiao Yu was dressed in a black brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns interwoven in black and gold on the collar and cuffs. He had a belt with the same pattern tied around his waist, a white jade crown on his head, and a sable fur cloak on his body. He had a cold look in his eyes, and exuded an aura of nobility and dominance that made people dare not look directly at him.
When Xiao Changshi looked at him, he felt that Xiao Yu was a lone wolf walking between heaven and earth. There was a mature, sharp and murderous aura about him that made him dare not approach.
But Xiao Changshi discovered that when he looked down at Su Lingyue, all the coldness in him disappeared, leaving only gentleness.
Made for each other. The situation before him made Xiao Changshi think of this phrase.
Su Lingyue is like a flower born next to a lone wolf.
He felt a little blinded.
But when he thought about Xiao Yu taking Wu Shi San, he felt better.
Even if Xiao Yu was a lone wolf or an evil ghost from hell, once he took the Wu Shi San, he would be just an obedient dog.
"Sister Yue'er!"
Hearing the voice, Su Lingyue turned her head and saw Xiao Changshi riding towards her on horseback.
Xiao Changshi ignored Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu didn't think anything of it.
But the word "sister" made him feel really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, have you forgotten your identity?" Xiao Yu said in an unhappy tone, looking at Xiao Changshi coldly.
Xiao Changshi looked at Su Lingyue with a serious look. Su Lingyue leaned in Xiao Yu's arms, and her little face under the cloak looked at him innocently, with no intention of stopping Xiao Yu.
He didn’t know whether Su Lingyue really got the military token, and he didn’t want to fall out with her so quickly.
Xiao Changshi dismounted and bowed respectfully, "Uncle."
Seeing Xiao Yu still staring at him coldly, he said again, "Aunt Imperial."
Su Lingyue hooked her hands around Xiao Yu's neck, leaned into Xiao Yu's arms and nodded gently, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
The tone was calm and without any emotion.
Xiao Changshi felt very uncomfortable when he saw the intimate actions of Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu.
This could also be Su Lingyue's way of controlling Xiao Yu.
Thinking of this, he felt a little better.
He looked at Su Lingyue and said, "I didn't see your carriage. I came to check."
Su Lingyue chuckled, "The carriages of the prince and I are at the end, it's still early, isn't it!"
Xiao Changshi stared into Su Lingyue's eyes, and said with a smile and a threat: "It's a long journey, I want to ask if you have brought everything? Did you forget... anything?"
The word "what" was emphasized particularly strongly.
Su Lingyue chuckled and looked up at Xiao Yu, "Did we miss anything?"
Xiao Yu met her gaze, his tone gentle and smiling, "No."
Su Lingyue smiled and looked at Xiao Changshi, "Your uncle said that he didn't miss anything."
Was she playing a trick on him yesterday?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Changshi asked, "Have you forgotten what Caidie told you yesterday... Auntie?"
Su Lingyue suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean that!"
She pulled out a red rope from around her neck, at the end of which was a crystal clear Hetian jade plaque.
"You..." She didn't even avoid Xiao Yu!
Xiao Changshi wanted to ask her why she didn't avoid Xiao Yu, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted to the jade token.
The front and back of the jade plaque are displayed, with a lifelike eagle carved on one side and an unknown symbol carved on the other.
"Your Highness, did you see clearly?"
Xiao Changshi stared at the jade token closely, his eyes gleaming with desire.
He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "See clearly!"
After saying that, he took a step forward and was about to raise his hand, but Su Lingyue quickly stuffed the jade token back into her clothes and hooked her arms around Xiao Yu's neck again.
"Your Highness, it's not time yet!"
Xiao Changshi withdrew his hand angrily, but the curve of his mouth widened instead of diminishing.
"Sister Yue'er, I will keep my promise to you. It's getting late, get ready to go!"
After saying this, he turned around, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the palace.
Xiao Yu frowned and looked at the direction where Xiao Changshi left, his jade-like face full of frost.
