Once the Crown Prince Joins In

They set off back to Beijing early the next morning. Su Xinyi got up early, did a simple set of boxing, had breakfast, and met everyone in the front yard.

There was only one baggage when she came, but she had a lot of things when she went back. She had two large boxes here, not to mention a large box of wine. She moved her things to the carriage first.

King Rong was so happy when he saw it. He looked at Su Xinyi and teased her, "I knew you were a guard, but if I didn't know, you thought you were a purchaser."

Su Xinyi glanced at Prince Rong and said slowly: "It is human nature to always bring some gifts to your family when you go out. My lord, are you ready?"

The smile on King Rong's face froze, he was not prepared.

Then I saw my eldest brother also moving a box of things into the car, and I was so surprised that my mouth almost dropped, "Brother, you bought it too?"

The prince glanced at King Rong and smiled.

King Rong:......

Fortunately, there was another King Xiang who was just as naked as him. He muttered to Su Xinyi, "It must be your idea. Why didn't you remind me?"

Su Xinyi said in surprise: "Do you still need to be reminded about this kind of thing?"

King Rong snorted. Why didn't he think of it? Otherwise, Su Xinyi was too arrogant.

Su Xinyi was still riding a horse this time. She was dressed in dark Hufu with a red tapestry belt around her waist. She looked really heroic.

At this time, Su Xinyi watched the woman who followed Prince Xiang get into the last car with her head slightly lowered. She pretended not to see it, turned around and got on her horse.

Over there, Prince Xiang came over and was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Xinyi riding a horse, "Does the county master also want to ride a horse?"

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded to Prince Xiang, "I was ordered to protect His Highness's safety, so of course I rode with His Highness. Prince Xiang, are you riding a horse or riding a car?"

King Xiang originally planned to ride in a chariot, but when he saw King Rong riding a horse, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Of course I will ride a horse."

Su Xinyi looked at Prince Xiang and smiled, but without exposing him, he said, "Your Majesty, it's up to you. I have to hurry along the way, so I'm afraid it will be harder."

King Xiang smiled when he heard this, and without saying anything else, he followed King Rong to the prince to talk.

Su Xinyi rode in a circle around the convoy and saw Wu Shun checking the vehicles behind him. She didn't go over to talk to him and passed directly by him.

Wu Shun looked up when the county leader passed by, but did not say hello, then he looked away and continued to inspect the vehicle.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi riding over and asked with a smile, "Is there no problem?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Your Highness, are you leaving now?"

"Let's go. Xin" Yan Junchu didn't want to see off the officials in peace, so he set out early in the morning.

Su Xinyi followed the prince closely, followed by King Rong and King Xiang on horseback, followed by three carriages. The group of people embarked on their return journey in the early morning light.

This was the first time for King Xiang to follow the prince, and it was also the first time to travel with the famous Yong'an County Lord. Although Yang Jin planned the trip and arranged for the inn to stay, he discovered one thing. Yang Jin and Yong'an County Lord He also looked very familiar, and sometimes Yang Jin would not ask the prince for instructions but would directly do the things ordered by Yong'an County Lord.

This shocked him. Yang Jin was the most trustworthy right-hand man around the prince, so it was not easy for him to do this.

This night, it was also unfortunate because Fu Yun was not feeling well and walked a little slower on the road. As a result, he missed Sutou and failed to reach the location of the inn.

King Xiang came over to apologize to the Crown Prince and King Rong. Su Xinyi was getting off her horse with a bow and arrow. She said softly to Yang Jin: "Master Yang, you are here to protect His Highness. I will take two people to the front to see if we can fight." Some prey.”

Because I didn’t expect to miss Sutou, I didn’t prepare dry food for the night.

Yang Jin immediately said: "Otherwise, I'd better go down and the county master will stay here."

Su Xinyi shook his head, "There are a lot of things going on here. We can't do without you when setting up camp. I'm faster at hunting. That's it."

Su Xinyi put the bow and arrow on his back, went to His Royal Highness and said: "Your Highness, I will take people to the front to have a look. If there is a farmer, buy some food and come back. If not, see if we can hunt some prey."

Yan Junchu was talking to Prince Xiang and Prince Rong. Hearing this, he turned to look at Su Xinyi, "Should I go with you?"

Su Xinyi was happy, "No, it's nearby. Your Highness, take a good rest. I'll be back soon."

King Rong immediately said: "Brother, she is afraid that you will hold her back."

Su Xinyi:......

King Xiang:......

This one really dares to say it.

Prince Xiang had become somewhat familiar with Su Xinyi in the past two days, and said with a smile: "County Master, we are not familiar with this area, just let the guards go."

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Xiang. It's okay. I'm used to doing these things. They're not as fast as me." Su Xinyi said to Prince Xiang. Prince Xiang was very polite along the way. Naturally, she couldn't be rude. "Just let the prince taste it." Have a taste of my barbecue skills.”

"I'll go with you." King Rong said eagerly.

Su Xinyi refused directly, "Your Majesty, follow me, I'm afraid we can only have breakfast."

King Rong was angry. Before he could retort, Su Xinyi had already mounted his horse and left with his guards. He could only complain to his elder brother, "Brother, look at her, she is getting more and more unseemly. New"

Yan Junchu looked at King Rong, "Let people set up camp, and if they are roasting prey, they also need to make a fire stand. Seventh brother, you are familiar with these, why don't you come?"

King Rong looked at Xu Heng, "You go with Yang Jin, hurry up."

Su Xinyi is a good hunter. Don't wait until he comes back and he hasn't finished packing yet. She will definitely laugh at herself again.

Yang Jin cleared out the resting place, moved the tables and chairs from the carriage, and quickly ordered people to set up the tent. He led others to light a fire and set up a copper kettle to boil water.

King Rong looked at the copper pot, and then he remembered that there was no extra water, so he called Sheng Siming over, "Take the people back to find some water."

Sheng Siming responded hurriedly, and the group of people immediately got busy.

Su Xinyi was lucky. After walking five or six miles, she saw several farmhouses and went to buy some cooking cakes and poultry. She also bought some pears from one family.

It's just that the farmer's family doesn't have much food left. There are many people, and these things are not enough to eat. Su Xinyi asked one of them to send these things back first, and asked the farmer to find out that there was a town more than 20 miles away.

Su Xinyi thought that it would take a lot of time to go back and forth for more than 20 miles, so she didn't go. She also asked the farmer and found out that there was a small hillside five or six miles ahead, where you could occasionally catch pheasants and the like. She took the little thing there with her.

This hillside is really small, and the forest is not big. There are sparse trees inside. Su Xinyi walked around and only found one wild rabbit. She and the guard looked at it, and they both shook their heads helplessly.

"County Lord, why don't you go back first and let me go to the town ahead to take a look." The guard said immediately.

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Let's go back the other way and see if there are any farmers over there who can buy something." She glanced at it before and it seemed that there was smoke from cooking.

The two of them took another detour and saw a few more farmhouses. They bought some food with others. When they were about to go back, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Hey, do you want some good pickled fish?"

Su Xinyi turned around and saw a middle-aged peasant woman in dusty clothes chasing her out. She reined in her horse and said with a smile, "Auntie, you can't pickle fish. It's too salty. Is there any fresh fish?"

When the woman heard this, she said: "Yes, there is one. It was shot yesterday, but today it's turned upside down and it's not very fresh anymore. Do you want it?"

The life of country people is like this. If there is something delicious, they will not eat it all at once. They will always put it aside and eat it slowly. Su Xinyi looked at the expectant look on the woman's face and thought that there might be something to spend money on at home. , she said: "That's okay, I'll go get it with you."

Su Xinyi got off the horse and followed the woman into the yard. The yard was not very clean, and there was a faint smell of raising livestock. There was a big bucket on the bluestone in front of the door, and there was indeed a fish in it. It's not small, but it's true that when the belly is turned over, more air comes out and less air comes in.

Su Xinyi asked his wife to put a rope through it, and he counted the copper coins and gave them to her, which was twice the market price.

The woman hurriedly said: "There are too many, and my fish is not very fresh."

"Auntie, take it." Su Xinyi took the fish, "Are you the only one in your family?"

The aunt thanked her again and again, and after listening to Su Xinyi's question, she said, "I also have a niece who almost died in the water a few days ago. If it weren't for her medical treatment, the family wouldn't be so tight."

"Why is my niece following you? Where are her parents?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

"Hey, I went fishing with a fishing boat a few days ago. I don't know why the boat capsized. I haven't found anyone yet. My niece is the lucky one. I caught him first. My man is still fishing for her elder brother. Now They haven’t returned home yet.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi took out another two taels of silver and gave it to the peasant woman. The peasant woman quickly refused, so Su Xinyi gave it to her, then turned and left.

The common people rely on the mountains to live on the mountains and the sea to live on the sea. Going to sea is dangerous, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Su Xinyi strode out of the yard. The peasant woman was going to send her off, but her niece who was recovering from illness came out. She hurriedly went over to help her, "Yunniang, what are you doing out here? Be obedient and go back and lie down. Auntie will do it for you." Let’s eat.”

Su Xinyi got on the horse with the fish in hand, and saw another bamboo basket in the guard's hand. She smiled and asked, "What's in here?"

The guard hurriedly said: "I bought some bowls and chopsticks."

Su Xinyi said immediately: "You are still thoughtful, I didn't even think of this. It's getting late, let's go back."

The guard hurriedly took the fish from the hands of the county master and put it on his horse. He put the bamboo basket away, mounted his horse and followed the county master back.

On the way back, Su Xinyi saw a few people walking from another path from a distance. Looking at them with dejected looks, she somehow remembered what the aunt said before, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

The guard also saw it and said, "I'm afraid I didn't catch anyone, I'm sorry."

Su Xinyi looked at him when he heard this, "Have you heard about it too?"

The guard listened to the county leader's question and immediately said: "When I was buying bowls, I heard from the uncle in the village that the aunt next door's brother and sister-in-law did not live here. They suddenly moved back a few days ago. It seems that Something happened, and even the house was sold. It seems that they owed a debt. In order to pay off the debt, the family of three went fishing. As a result, the Fu family and his wife could not come back. Only their daughter was rescued. Now I am just scared. That couple is also in bad luck."

"Fu family?" Su Xinyi thought of Fu Yun for some reason.

"The county owner doesn't know yet, but most of the people living here have the surname Fu, and very few have foreign surnames."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "So that's it. I thought this surname was rare, so why did I meet another one."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely understood that the county master was talking about the girl that His Highness Prince Xiang was going to bring back to the capital. He couldn't help but said: "Yes, the same surname but different fate."

Su Xinyi thought, isn't it? This is not the only thing in the world where people with the same surname but different fates have it.

The two rode back to the camp. The sky had darkened, and the bonfire could be seen in the distance. In an instant, they arrived at the place.

Su Xinyi got off his horse, and the guards hurriedly followed with the things they brought back to the campfire.

"Hey, our great hero is back. Let me see what you brought back?" King Rong immediately stood up and went over.

Su Xinyi said: "There is nothing else. I brought back some dry food and a fish. There are not many farmers around here, and there are not many good places for hunting here. Let's eat together."

Prince Xiang took a look and said in surprise: "This fish is really not small. It's enough to eat. Thank you to the county master for your hard work."

King Rong glanced at King Xiang, saying he was a flatterer.

Su Xinyi walked to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was roasting a rabbit. He pointed to the seat next to him and asked her to sit down. He poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Su Xinyi was really thirsty, so she drank it in one breath, "It smells so good."

Yan Junchu turned the rabbit over and said, "Why did it take so long? These things are enough to eat. Let's work together tomorrow morning and we will meet the town soon."

Su Xinyi thought that she was not willing to let the prince starve to survive, but she was embarrassed to say this, so she said: "There are so many of us, and the guards can't go hungry. Fortunately, they bought a lot of coarse grain cakes, so they really want to Let's make a living." It's hard for ordinary people to buy fine grains, but these poultry are better, and every household raises some. "

Su Xinyi watched King Rong and King Xiang walking over together. She looked at King Xiang and suddenly thought of Fuyun. This person with the surname Fu was really rare.

She rolled her eyes slightly, looked at Prince Xiang and said with a smile: "Prince Xiang, Miss Fuyun rarely gets out of the car on this journey. We are going to camp here tonight, so why not ask her to come down and have something to eat. Otherwise, she will be alone. It’s really not convenient for people to eat in a carriage.”

King Xiang was slightly surprised, and then looked at the prince and King Rong.

Yan Junchu was flipping rabbits and didn't see the look in King Xiang's eyes. King Rong was naturally not very happy, but it was Su Xinyi who said it. At least it gave him some face, so he said: "It depends on what I do, I just eat my own." .”

He doesn't care about others.
