47 The Carriage in the Deep Courtyard



Yu Xiaoxiao quickly toured the Deyi Winery. There were guards on duty in the winery, but they all knew that Princess Linglong was the eldest prince's guest. Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao did not do anything out of the ordinary, none of the guards came forward to ask Yu Xiaoxiao, "Princess, what are you doing?"

Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei leaned against the corridor pillar that was about to split into three pieces. Wood chips fell all over their heads and faces, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"What should we do if this building collapses?" Xiaozhuang asked Xiaowei.

Xiao Wei used all his strength to push against the pillar and said, "If I pay you money, will Prince Jing still fight the princess to death?"

Xiao Zhuang spat out the sawdust that had fallen into his mouth and said with a sad face, "Who can believe that the princess slapped him down?"

Xiao Wei grinned and said, "Yes, just to swat a moth!"

The sound of wood cracking went all the way up, and the two brothers were terrified by the sound, but they didn't dare to run. If they ran at this moment, once the column collapsed, the building would probably be destroyed.

At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao finally found a wooden pillar in the southeast corner of the winery. This wooden pillar was about the same height and thickness as the corridor pillar. Looking up, he saw a small wooden platform on the top of the wooden pillar, surrounded by bamboo fences. This was the winery's defense platform. If archers stood on it, the platform would be another defensive fortification of the winery. As an instructor of the Corps, Yu Xiaoxiao could see the function of this wooden platform, but he didn't think much of this ancient defense fortification. Zombies could chew wood with their mouths, and this kind of thing could only be used as firewood in the end times.

Under the moonlight, the open space was quiet, with only the chirping of autumn insects in the flowers and trees.

Yu Xiaoxiao jumped onto the wall beside her and looked around. Outside the wall was an alley, empty of people. On the other side of the alley was also a large courtyard with bright lights, but no one was visible.

After making sure that there was no one outside the wall, Yu Xiaoxiao jumped off the wall, grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands and pulled it out from the ground. She shook it violently a few times to loosen the connection between the wooden platform and the pillar, and then gave it one last desperate throw, and the heavy wooden platform flew out of the high wall of the winery.

At this time, a single-horse carriage came out of the deep courtyard next to the winery and headed out of the alley. The person who was seeing them off stood in the small door and just waved goodbye to the people in the carriage. Before he could stop smiling, he saw a huge square black shadow falling from the sky.

“Bang—”

“Crash——”

Yu Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear the sound coming from outside the wall and ran away carrying the wooden pillar.

The carriage was smashed to pieces by the wooden platform. The driver and the people in the carriage were crushed by the platform, but the horse pulling the carriage was not hurt. The horse was also very obedient. After stopping, it stood there motionless without making a sound.

The people who were seeing him off stood stupidly at the door of their house, unable to react for a moment.

However, the people in the winery heard the noise outside the wall, and immediately a team of guards holding torches and sticks rushed to the place where the sound came from.

Yu Xiaoxiao hid from people all the way and secretly carried the wooden pillar to the bottom of the corridor.

Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei both broke out in sweat when they saw Yu Xiaoxiao carrying the wooden pillar as easily as holding a piece of grass. With the strength of their own princess, it seemed that she could be a great killer without practicing martial arts, right?

Yu Xiaoxiao carried the wooden pillar into the corridor and placed it next to the pillar that collapsed after she slapped it.

Xiao Wei looked at the sawdust that was still falling like rain and whispered, "Will this work?"

Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the corridor and said, "Bring the prince consort with you, let's retreat quickly."

Xiaozhuang ran after Yu Xiaoxiao, saying as he ran, "What should we do if Prince Jing finds our home?"

Yu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "Until we are caught in the act, we just have to refuse to admit it."

Xiao Zhuang felt that this was not very kind, and he opened his mouth to talk to Yu Xiao Dao, but Xiao Wei kicked him on the butt and yelled, "Shut up and run!"

Music was playing in the banquet hall at this time, but there was no more conversation between the guests and the hosts.

Jing Mo looked very relaxed and comfortable sipping the wine. Apart from Qingyu, he did not have anyone else secretly watching Yu Xiaoxiao. After all, it was too despicable to make a fuss about the relationship between husband and wife. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Jing Mo was now waiting for Yu Xiaoxiao to come back and see the result.

Gu Xinglang appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually sitting there anxiously.

Yu Xiaoxiao, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei hurriedly rushed into the banquet hall.

Jing Mo put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao. Yu Xiaoxiao's face was not red and she was not out of breath. She still had a blank expression. However, the two secret guards were a little confused. "Princess, you..."

"Have you finished eating?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang without waiting for Jing Mo to finish his question, "It's getting late, let's go home."

Gu Xinglang was eager to leave and nodded quickly.

"Hurry," Yu Xiaoxiao turned around and urged Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, "Carry the person up, let's go."

Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei ran forward and lifted Gu Xinglang up.

"See you later," Yu Xiaoxiao waved goodbye to Jing Mo.

Jing Mo saw that within the time he had said three words, the three people brought Gu Xinglang to the entrance of the banquet hall. The eldest prince Jing stood up, and in a flash, he came close to Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Your Highness, the princess is leaving now?"

Yu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stop and look at Jing Mo and said, "I just remembered that I have something to do at home. Xiao Gu and I have to go back."

"Xiao Gu?" Jing Mo laughed. He had never heard of a woman calling her husband like that.

Gu Xinglang was in a hurry to explain Qingyu to Yu Xiaoxiao. Not to mention that Yu Xiaoxiao called him Xiao Gu, even if Yu Xiaoxiao called him a bastard, Gu Xinglang didn't care. He clasped his fists towards Jing Mo, and said, "Goodbye."

"Princess, are you satisfied with Chu Qiu's service?" Jing Mo ignored Gu Xinglang and asked Yu Xiaoxiao.

At this time, a guard beside Jing Mo ran into the banquet hall, ran straight to Jing Mo's side, and whispered a few words to Jing Mo.

Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wei wiped their sweat, wondering if the wooden building had collapsed.

After Jing Mo heard the guard's words, the smile on his face did not change, and he said to Yu Xiao: "Since Her Highness Princess has something else to do in her mansion, then I will not keep Her Highness Princess. I will host a banquet for the princess another day."

"Okay, no problem," Yu Xiaoxiao imitated Gu Xinglang, clasped his fists and bowed to Jing Mo, then turned his face and walked out.

Jing Mo did not see Yu Xiaoxiao out. The manager who had welcomed Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang into the winery earlier escorted the group out of the winery's gate.

Yu Xiaoxiao got on the carriage and urged the driver: "Hurry up, let's go."

Gu Xinglang was half lying in the carriage, and seeing Yu Xiaoxiao in such a hurry to leave, he began to wonder if his wife believed Qingyu's words and was in a hurry to take him home and beat him up?

Yu Xiaoxiao waited until the carriage left the street where Deyi Winery was located before she turned around and said to Gu Xinglang, "Xiaozhuang said that the wontons and glutinous rice balls at Dashiqiao are delicious. Let's go to Dashiqiao."

When talking about food, Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes would light up. Gu Xinglang looked at the princess's sparkling eyes and felt that his wife didn't seem to be holding back her anger and waiting to go home and get angry.

Jing Mo from Deyi Winery led his men to the alley outside the southeast corner of the winery.
