Excalibur laughs

After the army left Drunken Dream City, they began to speed up their march and marched all the way west.

Around sunset, Yun Yun heard the women around him shouting with joy and excitement: "It's finally here!"

Yun Yun hurriedly looked out the window, and saw a majestic city lying in front of the army not far away, and the city wall was full of heavily armed soldiers.

At this time, a woman in black rode a horse and quickly ran towards Yun Yun, looked at Yun Yun, and said in a low voice: "Commander Yao asked me to tell you to stay in the carriage and not show your face. Someone will pick you up."

After speaking, he took out something from behind and threw it in. Yunyun picked it up and looked carefully, and found that it was a black iron mask, which was quite heavy in his hand.

The woman said indifferently: "This is what the commander means. Put on this mask, and from now on, you are not allowed to show your true colors in front of others!"

Yun Yun was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

The woman did not speak, but pointed to the position between the eyebrows on the mask with her white and tender slender fingers.

I couldn't see clearly from the distance between the clouds, so I looked down at the iron mask in my hand, and found a bulging small character on the same position of the mask. I looked closely and found that it was the word "dark", and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Seeing Yun Yun, the woman looked dazed, and said: "The ones in the forbidden army who are responsible for carrying out secret missions are called 'Dark Guards'. Their identities cannot be known by others, so they have to wear this mask."

When Yun Yun heard it, he felt a little unhappy, so he argued: "Then this mask is useless, people with ulterior motives can still judge your identity from your voice!"

The woman sneered and said: "Then shut up and don't talk, if you can't control your mouth, I can consider cutting your tongue!"

After the woman finished speaking, Yun couldn't help gasping.

Her voice was cold and without any emotion, it didn't seem like she was joking.

Yunyun didn't dare to confront her, so he gave her a flattering smile, put on the mask obediently, she nodded slightly, reined in and left.

The army moved forward slowly, and Yun Yun heard shouts of "Welcome Your Majesty" coming from the front from time to time, and after a moment of silence, he heard loud conversations, hawking and laughter.

Yunyun is a quiet person, and usually stays alone in secluded places.

But at this moment, when I heard the noisy and noisy voices outside, I didn't feel noisy at all. Instead, I felt that the city was full of warmth and humanity.

Listening to the voice outside the window, a picture of the capital city where the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment emerges in his mind.

He yearned for such a life very much in his heart, and couldn't help but want to lift the curtain to see what the capital of the human race looks like.

But when he thought of Commander Yao's instructions and the woman's harsh words, he withdrew his hand in fright, suppressed his curiosity, and comforted himself: "Forget it, anyway, I will be in the capital from now on, and there will be opportunities, so don't worry about it for a while." for a while."

He leaned against the window, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and walked forward slowly like this. After a cup of tea, he heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him getting softer and softer.

After a while, someone outside the carriage knocked the door lightly and said, "Yunyun, we're here, come out!"

Hearing this, Yunyun hurriedly checked whether his mask was on properly, and got out of the carriage after finding that there was nothing wrong with it.

After getting out of the carriage, he realized that the sky had already darkened, and the sun had long since disappeared, replaced by a crescent moon hiding among the clouds.

Yun Yun looked forward and found that all the mighty army had disappeared, only Fu Yan and the others in black were in front of them.

A quaint yet luxurious, simple yet majestic mansion appeared in front of my eyes.

On both sides of the front of the house are two statues carved lifelike to ward off evil spirits. They crawl forward, and their eyes, the size of copper bells, emit fierce lights, as if they want to choose someone to devour.

There are three stone steps in front of the house, the door is open, and a plaque on the door is written with three big gilt characters of "General's Mansion".

A luxurious lady in a long blue dress stood in front of the door with a smile on her face, and behind her stood a group of servants and maidservants respectfully.

At this time, he heard a delicate voice coming from beside me.

"Mother!"

Yun Yun hurriedly looked over, and it turned out that Ah Yue's carriage had also been parked beside me, but he didn't notice it.

She ran towards the woman quickly, the woman had a doting and loving smile on her face, she bent down to take Ah Yue, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

Several black-clothed women behind them all bent down and saluted: "Meet the general's wife!"

Hearing the words, the woman slowly let go of Ah Yue, took her little hand, and said softly to all the women in black: "You don't need to be too polite, my little girl is escorted back by you, I am here to thank you."

After speaking, he greeted all the women in black with a blessing, and all the women in black were overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly returned the salute.

Fu Yan clasped her fists and said, "Ma'am, the city lord led an army to escort His Majesty back to the palace, and he will be back at night. We also have to go back to the palace to report to Commander Yao."

Then he looked at the cloud, and said to the woman: "This little brother is also an imperial guard, His Majesty specially appointed him to protect Miss A Yue, to be Miss A Yue's personal bodyguard."

There was a trace of unspeakable joy in the woman's eyes, she looked at the cloud for a while, nodded and said: "My husband told me the purpose of his trip before he left. Are you the young man mentioned in Master Jingming's letter?"

Yun Yun was stunned, but he hadn't decided how to answer. Seeing this, Fu Yan kicked him lightly, and said coquettishly, "Madam is asking you something! Why are you in a daze?"

The woman waved her hand at Fu Yan with a smile, and said softly, "It's okay, it's the first time for the little brother to come to the General's Mansion, it's inevitable to be a little scared."

Then he said softly to me: "My concubine, Li Jing, is Meng Zhang's wife and Ah Yue's mother. Master Jingming told His Majesty that the little brother is helpful for Ah Yue's illness, so His Majesty and his husband went to Ling'en Temple to treat him. The little brother took it over, Ah Yue's illness, please worry about it!"

As she spoke, she was about to salute Yun Yun, but Yun Yun hurriedly stopped her and said in panic, "Ma'am, you are serious, Yun Yun will definitely try her best!"

Li Jing nodded with a smile, and said to us: "Everyone has been exhausted all the way, please rest in the mansion and have something to eat."

Fu Yan clasped her fists and said, "Madam's kindness, I will accept it with all my heart, but Commander Yao has ordered that after Miss Ah Yue returns to the mansion, we will return to the palace to report to us."

Then he glanced at Yun Yun and continued, "Brother Yun will stay in the General's Mansion as an imperial guard to protect Miss Ayue. If there is anything wrong, Madam please take care of Commander Yao's face and take care of me." !"

Li Jing smiled slightly, and said: "How can you tell, Brother Yun has shown kindness to the Meng family, and the entire Meng family should repay it. Please also tell Commander Yao that Brother Yun is a guest of honor in the general's residence, and there will never be any mistakes."

Fu Yan nodded, and said to Yun Yun: "In the General's Mansion, you must obey the orders of the Lord Meng and his wife, and you must not cause disasters and ruin the reputation of the Imperial Army, otherwise Commander Yao will not be able to protect you!"

After saying goodbye to Li Jing, he left the General's Mansion.
