When she heard that she had to run laps again, the little girl looked desperate. "Girl, please be kind. Who would let me run laps? You won't be able to get married if you do this."
Zhao Xin and the others beside him couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. This master and servant really were...
Nan Luoying raised her eyebrows proudly upon hearing this, "Who said that? I'm already married..."
She was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized Zhao Xin was right beside her. Her pretty face instantly lit up. She stole a glance at Zhao Xin, and seeing that he seemed to be smiling, she felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. She raised her hand and smacked the little girl hard, gritting her teeth and saying, "You're the only one who talks too much. Two hundred rounds!"
The little girl rolled her eyes and nearly fainted. She looked at Zhao Xin and the others with a pleading look on her face, but then she remembered that they were the emperor, so she quickly lowered her head and squatted with a sad face, saying, "Here."
"Alright, alright."
Zhao Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said to Nan Luoying, "Don't make her run around anymore. You don't have to be on duty today. I, no, I have something to go out for today. I'm not at home, so you won't have anywhere to be on duty."
"This young master...is not at home..."
Nan Luoying was puzzled by his strange words, but then she remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, are you going on a secret tour?"
Then he said with a heart of gold: "In this case, I will do my duty even more."
The little girl next to him also had bright eyes and nodded continuously, thinking: "That's good, no need to run in circles."
"This, you guys... this, isn't very appropriate. Even if General Nan knew, he wouldn't agree."
Zhao Xin was stunned. He didn't expect Nan Luoying to do this. But then he thought, given this girl's personality, she must have wanted to go out for a while.
But he was a little hesitant in his heart.
After all, Nan Cang and his son are still fighting for him outside, and it seems a bit inappropriate for him to take Nan Luoying around like this.
Moreover, the customs of this era were quite similar to those of the Han Dynasty, and there were not so many major obstacles between men and women. But after all, they only performed the ceremony of Nacai, which was somewhat inconsistent with the etiquette.
However, seeing Nan Luoying's expectant expression, he couldn't bear to refuse.
Nan Luoying didn't really care about this. Upon hearing this, she waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Grandfather and the others are not in the capital."
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes. "Is this a matter of whether or not we're in the capital?"
As he hesitated, Cao Xiong, who was standing beside him, instantly saw through his thoughts. He also wanted to flatter Nan Luoying, so he cautiously chuckled and said, "Sir, I think this matter is not a problem. Commander Nan is the commander of your personal guards. It is my duty to accompany you on your tours. Who can blame me for this?"
"Uh-huh……"
Nan Luoying nodded continuously upon hearing this, and looked at Cao Xiong with admiration.
Originally, I thought that this old eunuch was not a good person because he had a fawning smile on his face all day long. But now I suddenly felt that you can't judge a person by his appearance. It turns out that this old eunuch is not a bad person.
But Zhao Xin was not convinced. This kind of words could be used to fool outsiders, but not Nan Cang.
Li Cunxiao chuckled and said, "Sir, isn't this a simple matter? Can't we just ask the Nan family's daughter to go back and ask? Although the Nan family's Grand Marshal is not in the capital, the old princess is. As long as the old princess agrees, the Nan family's Grand Marshal will not dare to object."
Nan Luoying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go ask my great-grandmother. She loves me the most, and she will definitely agree."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin remembered that although Nan Cang's wife had passed away several years ago, his mother was still alive and was granted the title of Qinyang Jun, so she was called the Old County Lady.
If she agrees, then no one can say anything.
He nodded immediately, "That's fine."
Then he couldn't help but glance at Li Cunxiao and said, "When did you become so smart?"
Li Cunxiao was a little dissatisfied, "Sir, when has Old Li ever been stupid?"
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes, his expression changing slightly. He called out to Nan Luoying, who was already pulling the little girl and pretending to run away, "Wait a minute. In that case, I will go and pay my respects to the old princess in person."
After all, if you want to take someone's great-granddaughter out, it's reasonable for you to go and visit her in person.
Although Nan Luoying was carefree, she was well-educated and well-mannered after all. Naturally, she understood what he meant immediately. Although a little shy, she didn't hesitate and nodded readily, "In that case, I'll let Xiao Cui inform the family first and tell them that you are coming incognito. Don't make a big fuss."
"good."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but nod slightly when he saw that she seemed careless at ordinary times, but could be organized and clear-headed at critical moments.
Nan Luoying immediately ordered the little girl Xiao Cui to go back to the mansion first to inform everyone in the Taiwei Mansion, and then personally led Zhao Xin and his party to change the route to the Taiwei Mansion.
When they arrived, the entire Nan family had already known about the emperor's arrival, although there was no fanfare because the emperor came in disguise.
Of course, the so-called lack of fanfare simply meant that ceremonial instruments such as flags and drums were not displayed, and there was no grand ceremony of worship in court robes.
However, there is no lack of basic etiquette.
The entire Nan family, including the old princess, were waiting at the door to greet them.
After welcoming them to the main hall, the Nan family wanted to perform a grand ceremony, but this time they were stopped by Zhao Xin.
Then he explained the purpose of his visit.
Of course, Zhao Xin did not say that Nan Luoying wanted to follow him, he only said that he needed Nan Luoying, the leader of the guards, to accompany him.
However, everyone in the Nan family knew Nan Luoying's character, so how could they not know the situation?
Although a little hesitant.
But just as Nan Luoying said, the old princess really loved her very much, and she had no choice but to agree after she called her "Grandmother" a few times in a coquettish way.
However, since Nan Luoying is the commander of the guards, she naturally cannot be without soldiers around her, so the Nan family arranged twenty elite guards for her.
Originally they were planning to arrange for maids to accompany him, but Zhao Xin hurriedly stopped them.
Zhao Xin was still sweating as he walked out the door. "Goodness me! We agreed to go on an incognito tour, but it almost turned into 'The beauty of the city follows the young master, and a thousand riders roll across the plains.'"
But even so, Zhao Xin's team expanded nearly tenfold.
Fortunately, this is the capital.
Rich families and tycoons could be seen everywhere, and it was not uncommon to see them accompanied by hundreds of followers, rushing through the streets. Therefore, although the group consisted of three or four carriages and dozens of guards, it did not attract much attention.
Not many people outside the capital knew that the emperor was no longer in the Forbidden City.
Just as Zhao Xin and his party walked out of Shangdong Gate and went along the official road to Wangdong, heading straight for Bingzhou.
On the other side of the Qin capital, on the sea further south of Yuezhou in the extreme south, there was a fleet sailing through the waves on the sea heading towards an even more southerly direction.
At this time, the fleet was three days' journey away from Yuezhou, the southernmost part of Daqin, and the fleet had been sailing on the sea for three or four days.
