Red apricots make spring

Chapter 209

After driving for two days, Lu Ce and Wen Rou were in the carriage all the time except for eating and drinking, and they couldn't even sleep peacefully.When the tenderness couldn't hold back, Lu Ce would volunteer to use it as a pillow, and persuaded her to curl up to sleep for a while, but he could only sit stiffly, close his eyes and fall asleep, and had the right to rest.

After a long time, both of them were very tired.Lu Ce looked fine, but there was a bit of tiredness in his increasingly soft eyes, and the gentleness was a bit unbearable, and he felt that there was no place in his body that was not sore, but in order to avoid Lu Ce's worry, he still gritted his teeth and endured it. Let out a whine.

Yuanchang City is not far from Yunzhou. Originally, Gentle thought that these hidden guards would be no more comfortable than them on their horses. They would always go to the city to rest and eat something, right?With luck, she might even order some hot water to wash her body.Who would have thought that heaven would not do what people wanted, Gentle half lifted the curtain of the carriage, watching the gate of Yuanchang City appear in front of his eyes, and finally disappeared completely, the carriage continued on without even stopping.

"Are these people made of iron?" Rubbing his temples gently and tiredly, he asked disappointedly.

Lu Ce smiled lightly and said, "Do you think it's easy to be the secret guards in the palace? They have a sacred mandate all year round. They are either running around outside, or lurking in the dark in the cold and dew in the dead of night. It’s good enough to eat and sleep.”

Gentle and joyful: "How can they bear such a day?"

"There is always a rotation. After three or five days of fatigue, you can rest for a while. Otherwise, you can't bear it." Lu Ce narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But I heard that the secret guards in the palace will die in less than five years. Had to replace a batch of…”

Wen Rou trembled slightly when she heard the words, and she lost her voice in surprise: "You mean...they can only live for five years?"

Lu Ce hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Most people can only live for five years, or they are seriously injured, or exhausted, or even..."

"Was it silenced?" Gentle asked softly.

She has read a lot of novels and TV, and knows that this kind of person who has a lot of top-secret information will not live long.

"Yes." Lu Ce nodded helplessly and said: "In contrast, those hidden guards who were replaced due to physical damage and bedridden are considered lucky, at least they can have a good death. However, so many There will always be a few of the hidden guards who can make a difference, and they will be sent by the Holy Spirit to do other things, and they will be highly valued in the future, and their future will be limitless."

After listening softly, she was silent for a while and said: "It seems that they are quite pitiful."

Lu Ce slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "This kind of power hidden in the dark is very hateful in the eyes of court officials!"

Gentle nodded, and finally said: "The old emperor who sent them to do this kind of thing is not more hateful..."

Halfway through the speech, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. How could anyone dare to be disrespectful to the emperor these days?It's just that words that are spoken are like water that has been poured out, and it's too late to take them back. She saw Lu Ce's slightly surprised eyes projected over, and she had an idea, remembering a joke she had seen before, and quickly argued: "That... ...The Holy Majesty is long live, so he is naturally very old...he is also a civil and military official, and the ruler of the common people, so he is naturally the head...Old man, hehe...I am not disrespectful..."

The explanation of these words is very ingenious, but Lu Ce still glanced at her with a smile and said, "Then what do you mean by the word 'more hateful'?"

Cold sweat!This gentleness is really beyond justification, so she just lowered her head and remained silent. She was not worried that Lu Ce would expose her when she heard her scolding the emperor, but she was just afraid that Lu Ce would ask her why she was so bold, because the concept of respecting the emperor was deeply imprinted on her. In the hearts of the ancients, how could a commoner have the courage to say such disapproving words to the emperor?

If he asked... well, I really don't want to lie!
Rourou was distressed, but Lu Ce said calmly, "Actually, my grandfather was a dark guard back then."

"Ah—" Wen Wen was extremely surprised, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Why are you so surprised?" Lu Ce smiled slightly and said, "If it wasn't for this reason, would you still be so polite to me as the hidden guards outside?"

"Is this considered polite?!" Rourou admitted that as a prisoner without shackles, being able to ride in a carriage is not bad, but Lu Ce was originally an official of the court, and before he was convicted by the emperor, it was not too much to receive such treatment. How can you be polite?
"That's the way you've never seen them being rude." Lu Ce said, sighed softly, lowered his eyes and said, "The identity of being a secret guard is the only place where my grandfather can be tainted by others in his life. "

You can imagine Wen Rou, probably in the eyes of the world, this kind of secret guard's status is like the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty recorded in history in her world!It is something that everyone is afraid to avoid.So he nodded and looked at Lu Ce understandingly.

It's rare for Lu Ce to talk a lot, slowly telling how his grandfather became the secret guard of the court and how he became a general.It has to be said that Lu Chenzhou's life is like a legend, he listened to it tenderly and engrossed, and the boring and slow time on the bumpy road became a little more comfortable because of it.

When the car stopped in the evening, Wen Rou didn't feel particularly annoying when she saw the face of the leader of the dark guard again. When she got out of the car, she even smiled at him, which confused the leader of the dark guard and gave her a back look. He said roughly: "Come down, rest in this forest for a while tonight, don't hurry."

"Forest?" Rourou hurriedly jumped out of the car, and after the slight dizziness of down-to-earth passed, she looked around and found that this place is really a rather dense forest. The coolness invaded people, and I couldn't help shivering: "Then what shall we eat at night?"

The leader of the dark guards turned around and walked away at this moment, and said coldly: "Eat whatever you find!"

Although Wen Rou was a little disappointed that Yun Dan's "first aid food" could no longer be delivered tonight, she couldn't hold back her little excitement. After all, she had been bumping in the carriage for a long time, and she was eager to stretch her muscles and bones on the open field, not to mention the woods. There are also a lot of things to eat. All kinds of wild vegetables and game, if they are prepared, are actually several times more delicious than what they ate during the past two days. The blood flow is better.

At this time, Lu Ce stood beside her and looked at her with a smile, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Is it possible?" Rourou glanced at the leader of the dark guard who was standing not far away and commanding the other dark guards, with a longing look on his face.

"Try it." Lu Ce said and walked towards the leader of the hidden guard.

Wenrou looked at them from a distance, and saw Lu Ce talking to the leader of the secret guard with his back turned to her. At first he just shook his head, but then Lu Ce seemed to hand something to him, he hesitated after seeing it, Finally nodded, and then walked towards them gently and joyfully, just happened to hear the leader of the hidden guard say: "I'll give you half an hour, don't go far!"

"Chengqing." Lu Ce cupped his hands, and naturally took the gentle hand that walked beside him, and walked into the woods.

Gentle suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and waited until she could no longer see a hidden guard nearby, then quietly asked: "What did you say to him? How could he let us move freely, and didn't even send a hidden guard?" Follow, aren't you afraid we'll run away?"

Lu Ce bent down and picked up a small stone from the ground, and said with a slight smile, "I just gave him the two leftover glutinous rice dumplings from lunch, and he agreed."

Glutinous rice dumpling...

Thinking of this, Wen Rou unconsciously remembered that kiss, and blushed.However, she is also considered a smart person, and she can see through a little bit, and immediately understand the meaning of Lu Ce's actions.He was frankly telling the leader of the hidden guard that if he wanted to escape, there would have been countless opportunities along the way. Whether it was poisoning the food or gathering some people to hijack the car, it would be easy.

"Are you afraid of hurting your family if you don't run away?" Rourou lowered her head, feeling very guilty. After all, she was responsible for all of this.

Lu Ce shook his head and said, "If the Holy Majesty wants to punish my family, it's really not enough to deal with this crime."

"Then you'd better find a chance to leave, leave me alone." Rourou said hastily.

"Even if I want to take you to escape together, it's fine." Lu Ce said with a slight smile, "It's just that this matter will be resolved sooner or later, so why worry about hiding? Why don't you take this opportunity to find out!"

Speaking of this, Lu Ce glanced at Wen Rou, seeing her silently nodding, he couldn't help becoming narrow-minded again, and prolonged his tone as if inadvertently: "Let's talk—"

"What?" Wen Rou was really fooled.

The smile on Lu Ce's face deepened, "I still want our children to be upright people in the future!"
Wen Wen's smile froze when she heard the words, and she was suddenly embarrassed.
