Then, a sharp sword was placed between the two of them.
Feng Jiuyan was startled and tilted his neck back to create some distance between himself and the sword in front of him.
She was very puzzled, why were they behaving so suspiciously?
Could it be because of the eldest brother mask and the second brother mask they both wore on their faces?
At this moment, she and Fu Yanci still wore masks on their faces, because the weather in Youzhou was cold and the wind was strong, which would hurt when it blew on the face. So they still wore masks at this moment to block the wind.
But unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding the gate found his behavior suspicious!
Oh, that's not right. The eldest and second brothers are obviously cute and decent, why do they look suspicious and vulgar?
Many thoughts flashed through Feng Jiuyan's mind, and Fu Yanci, who was sitting next to him, picked up the sword on the shaft of the cart and blocked the sharp sword in front of them.
"It's me!" he said in a low voice.
Then, he slowly pinched the Second Senior Brother's mask on his face with his bony fingers, and then took it off, revealing the handsome face that was hidden by the Second Senior Brother's mask.
The bearded man who drew his sword and stood in front of Feng Jiuyan and Fu Yanci recognized the owner of the voice after hearing Fu Yanci's low voice.
Just as he was shocked, he saw Fu Yanci's true face after he took off the mask.
Fu Yanci looked straight at the big man with a warm smile on his face, and said leisurely, "Captain Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
"Your Highness?" the bearded man said in shock.
He immediately sheathed his sword, bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and saluted respectfully, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I didn't know that Your Majesty was here, so I bumped into you. This is all my fault. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
The soldiers behind him were also shocked. They quickly lowered their heads, clasped their hands together, and saluted Fu Yanci. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Fu Yanci waved his hand and chuckled, "Captain Feng, what crime have you committed? You have guarded the city gate so diligently and conscientiously, and I am so happy. What crime have you committed?"
Feng Danian raised his eyes and quietly glanced at Fu Yanci's face. Seeing that Fu Yanci did not show any displeasure, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He saluted again and said, "It is my duty to guard the city gate. I do not deserve the praise from the prince."
Then, with a hint of curiosity, he turned his gaze to Feng Jiuyan who was standing beside him.
Although she did not take off the mask on her face, just by looking at her figure, Feng Danian could tell at a glance that the person sitting next to the prince was a girl.
Could she be the girl that the prince likes?
Thinking of this, Feng Danian was extremely excited. You know, the whole city was looking forward to the prince getting married and having children. Many noble and wealthy families in the city wanted to put their daughters and nieces into the prince's mansion.
The old princess was also extremely anxious about the prince's marriage.
She often arranged banquets in the palace, inviting girls of the same age and family background to attend the banquets, with the purpose of letting the prince choose a girl. Who would have thought that the prince had been looking for girls for several years, but there was no girl he liked.
But today, he actually saw with his own eyes that there was a little girl sitting next to the prince. How exciting it was.
You know, there has never been a girl within three feet of the prince. Now, let alone a distance of three feet, the distance between the little girl and the prince is only a dozen centimeters. How can he not be excited!
However, Feng Danian felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the little girl's true face.
He looked away and stepped aside to make way for a wider path. He said with excitement, "In that case, I won't delay His Majesty from handling his business."
After saying these words, Feng Danian gently waved his hand and began to direct the gatekeepers behind him to slowly pull open the heavy fence to make way for the donkey cart to pass.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
"Farewell, Your Highness!" The soldiers guarding the city gates also shouted in unison. Their voices were uniform and loud, echoing in the space.
Fu Yanci nodded slightly, put on the second senior brother's mask, then threw the reins and drove the donkey cart into the city.
Feng Danian watched the donkey cart going farther and farther away, with a smile on his face. "Hehehe, I wonder where that girl on the donkey cart came from. Our prince's thousand-year-old iron tree has finally blossomed. The old princess can rest assured now."
After entering the city gate, Feng Jiuyan approached Fu Yanci and said with a wicked smile, "Ah Ci, Ah Ci, did you see Captain Feng's smile and gossipy eyes just now? Maybe soon the news will spread throughout Youzhou City that Prince Rui brought back a little girl from outside the city. Are you afraid?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? Once the news gets out, the attention of the girls who covet me will be diverted away. But you, you have to be careful. If these girls know it's you, they will make trouble for you. Are you afraid, Xiaojiu?" Fu Yanci chuckled, with a joking tone in his words.
Feng Jiuyan was still immersed in the joy of claiming her sovereignty over Fu Yanci, but after hearing what Fu Yanci said, her scalp went numb. If all those young ladies from aristocratic families came to her house, she would never have any peace.
If those young ladies from aristocratic families just pestered her and did not do anything excessive, she could neither beat them nor scold them.
If this is true, it is really distressing.
Then she remembered that she was wearing a mask, so she was no longer afraid. She thanked him, "Hehehe, luckily I was smart and didn't take off the mask. They can't see my face, and those young ladies from noble families who like you won't be able to find me."
Fu Yanci listened to what the little girl said. Although he couldn't see her face at this moment, at this moment, he could guess what kind of vivid expression she would have at this moment. And because of this, he felt particularly happy at this moment.
"Hehe, Xiaojiu, don't worry, I won't let them bother you." Fu Yanci promised.
"Yes, but I'm not afraid if they come. I have my own ways to deal with them." Feng Jiuyan said solemnly.
Feng Jiuyan looked around, at the streets of Youzhou City.
Youzhou City is located away from the capital in the north. The environmental conditions there are naturally somewhat harsh and cannot be compared with the prosperous areas in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, the people here all have smiles on their faces, and it can be seen that they live a relatively happy life.
The streets in the city were bustling with people coming and going, and it was very lively.
There are stalls on both sides of the street, and the cries of vendors are heard one after another.
What is particularly special here is that in Youzhou City, the customs of the people are relatively open. The women here do not need to cover their faces with veils and can walk freely on the streets to have fun. They either walk in groups or stroll alone, becoming a beautiful scenery on the streets and adding a bit of agility and liveliness to this lively scene.
Feng Jiuyan immediately fell in love with this place.
