Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the army set out on the journey back to the capital.

Zhao Wudi carefully picked up Qiao Xiaoxi and gently put her into the spacious and comfortable carriage.

Qiao Xiaoxi, who was lying in the carriage, gradually woke up as the carriage was shaken and bumpy along the way.

Qiao Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes and thought to himself.

Oh my god! Why are we still riding in a carriage?

Hehe, by the way, sister, Zhao Wudi is trying to prevent you from escaping!

Qiao Xiaoxi reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and her eyes happened to fall on Bai Ma Xuanfeng who was following closely behind.

Seeing Xuanfeng, Qiao Xiaoxi was delighted and hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop the carriage.

After the car stopped, Qiao Xiaoxi couldn't wait to get out of the car and walked straight towards the handsome and majestic white horse.

Qiao Xiaoxi reached out her hand and gently stroked the white horse's neck, a happy smile on her face.

She said cheerfully: "Brother Ma, you are really my best friend!"

The white horse seemed to understand what Qiao Xiaoxi said. It gently wagged its tail and neighed softly in response.

Qiao Xiaoxi was happy. She came to this ancient time and became true friends with a white horse.

Zhao Wudi said coldly: "Xuanfeng doesn't want to serve anyone, he just wants to follow the carriage!"

Oh my god! Zhao Wudi is following the carriage again!

He never left the carriage when he came, and he never left the carriage when he returned.

This is a close watch!

Qiao Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at Zhao Wudi.

He said with a smile: "Sir, can I ride a horse?"

Zhao Wudi's face was as cold as ice. He said coldly, "What bad things are you planning? Get in the car."

After hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Zhao Wudi with a beautiful smile, then happily got into the carriage.

Xuanfeng followed the carriage and never left it.

Qiao Xiaoxi felt at ease. As long as Xuanfeng was there, she would always have a chance to escape!

When I got the chance, I mounted Xuanfeng and ran away.

I can't go back to the Duke's Mansion. Princess Anping is there, waiting for my life.

This is a victory march back to the capital, so there is no need to rush.

The Zhao family army, anxious to return home, had already returned to Beijing with the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle.

Liang Hongying led two thousand elite soldiers and followed Zhao Wudi.

Marching at the speed of Qiao Xiaoxi's carriage.

March during the day and camp at night.

Prince Jing, Qin Ziming, Zhao Wudi, and their soldiers often went to the mountains to hunt!

This doesn't feel like a march, it feels more like traveling.

The troops walked slowly and it was unknown how long they had been walking.

Zhao Wudi said that they were still halfway to the capital.

Qiao Xiaoxi looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon like a round disk hanging high in the sky.

"Hmm...looking at this, it should be the fifteenth day of the month!" Qiao Xiaoxi muttered to herself.

Qiao Xiaoxi walked slowly over and sat down next to the blazing bonfire.

At this time, several people were roasting meat around the fire.

Qiao Xiaoxi stared at the sizzling barbecue with a smile on her face, then turned to Zhao Wudi beside her.

With a sweet smile, she said in a tender voice: "Master, this barbecue goes really well with good wine, the more you drink, the better it tastes!"

After hearing this, Prince Jing also smiled and replied, "Haha, it just so happens that there is some wine here, which was sent by the Grand Administrator Wang before."

He turned to the servant beside him and ordered: "Go and get some wine. We are almost halfway through our journey. We have had a safe journey and it is worth celebrating."

While Qiao Xiaoxi greedily sniffed the meaty aroma in the air and imagined the rich taste of the wine, she couldn't help but swallowing hard.

Coming to this ancient world, even though my life is sometimes in danger, the food here is indeed delicious.

The wine is also delicious. This ancient wine is mellow and sweet in the mouth. It does not have the spicy and irritating feeling of ordinary spirits. Instead, it has a light sweetness. It is as smooth and soft as silk when it passes through the throat, without any burning sensation, stomach discomfort or headache.

When I wake up from a hangover, I feel clear-headed and refreshed.

With such fine wine, it’s no wonder that the great poet Li Bai was so fond of it!

At this time, Qin Ziming's roasted chicken was already cooked through.

Qin Ziming tore off a juicy chicken leg, handed it to Qiao Xiaoxi with a smile, and said softly: "Xixi, try this chicken leg!"

Qiao Xiaoxi took the chicken leg with great joy, a bright smile like the warm spring sun bloomed on her face, and she said clearly: "Thank you, Brother Ziming."

Zhao Wudi picked up a bowl of wine and handed it to Qiao Xiaoxi.

Qiao Xiaoxi grabbed a big, shiny chicken leg in his right hand, took the wine glass with his left hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

Take a big bite of the tender and juicy chicken, then swallow it with a big gulp of fine wine. It feels so refreshing!

As soon as the wine in the glass is finished, the waiter will come forward and refill it.

At this moment, Qiao Xiaoxi was enjoying the happy life of eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, her face full of satisfied smile.

Qiao Xiaoxi suddenly thought of the TV series "Water Margin".

They happily sang the heroic song from "Water Margin":

"The river flows eastward,

The stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper.

Hehehehe, hey ...

A bowl of wine for a life-and-death friendship—"

Just as Qiao Xiaoxi was singing with great enthusiasm and was about to pick up the chicken leg to eat it.

Qiao Xiaoxi found that there was only a bare chicken bone left in her hand.

"Haha? You've actually eaten it all!" Qiao Xiaoxi was shocked. She threw the chicken leg bone away and laughed: "No more meat!"

Prince Jing, who had been immersed in the singing, came to his senses when he heard this part and turned to look at Qiao Xiaoxi.

Qiao Xiaoxi has a face as rosy as a peach blossom and a small cherry mouth. After saying "no meat", Qiao Xiaoxi tightly closed her beautiful small cherry mouth.

Not only that, Qiao Xiaoxi also puffed up her cute little pink cheeks, and that adorable little expression was enough to melt anyone's heart!

Upon seeing this, Prince Jing hurriedly lowered his head to check the rabbit he had roasted.

After making sure it was cooked, Prince Jing said to Qiao Xiaoxi with a smile on his face: "Xixi, my side is also cooked."

As he spoke, Prince Jing tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Qiao Xiaoxi.

He smiled gently and said, "Xixi, try this, it's delicious! If you like it, sing another song for me!"

Qiao Xiaoxi took the rabbit leg with great joy, showed Prince Jing a smile as bright as a spring flower, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Prince Jing."

He took a bite of meat, took a sip of wine, and continued humming, but suddenly stopped after singing just one sentence.

Because the next lyrics are "Let's go, rush through the nine states!"

Now in this ancient time, we are gathering together in a warm atmosphere, singing this line: "Let's go when we say go, rush through the nine states"

Not only did it spoil the fun, but it also made Zhao Wudi suspicious, and he became even more defensive!

While chewing the rabbit leg thoughtfully, Qiao Xiaoxi secretly wondered how to cleverly change the topic of singing.
