There was nothing surprising about the two carriages driving out of the camp of the Zhennan Army, the Northern Wei Fist God led the way in front of one person and one horse, Yu Qing drove a carriage to follow behind, and Liu Qingdian drove in the direction of the Zhenxi Army.

All the way to stop and stop, not fast, from the first line of the river to the desolate land in the northwest, as if a hand has taken back the spring color from the new, and the lush greenery of the first line of the river has turned back into new green teeth.

His Majesty the bored emperor was lying in the carriage, and the reason why she did not return to Beijing was very simple, she wanted to go to the Zhenxi Army to see, since she ascended the throne, except for the Huns in the north, she had stayed in the Zhenbei Army for a period of time, and she had never been to the Zhenxi Army in the bitter cold land in the northwest. Of course, not returning to Beijing is also to avoid the four auxiliary ministers, after killing the Buddha of Confucius, there is no need to return to Beijing, far away in the Zhennan Army, His Majesty the Emperor can hear all kinds of praises in the book of the Ministry of Rites.

His Majesty the Emperor loves vanity and likes to hear people boast about himself, but the music presented by the civil and military officials is too explicit, not subtle, and there is no light weight lifting at the sharp corners of Xiaohecailou, His Majesty the Emperor is sour, so it is better to go to Zhenxi Army to come relaxed, of course, the letter to the Lord Zhongtang can not be said so, to write from the big place, small consideration.

Observing the military situation and boosting the morale of the soldiers, this is a good reason, I like it very much!

It's really boring all the way, Li Yuanhao has a strong interest in the Northern Wei boxing god who rode alone in front of him, Hong Xiguan rode a horse without a saddle, sat firmly on a jujube red high-headed horse, put his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes and dozed off, the big brown horse twisted his buttocks, walked in front leisurely, and swayed from side to side with the Northern Wei boxing god on horseback, tilting his body several times, as if he would fall off the horse the next moment, but he just couldn't fall off.

Li Yuanhao was amazed, tiptoeing, walked quickly in front of Hong Xiguan, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the Northern Wei Dynasty boxing god, he was indeed asleep and died, this is the rumored sleeping on horseback in the rivers and lakes.

Looking ahead, there was a puddle not far in front of the horse, which should be the stagnant water left by the rain some time ago, and the water surface was level with the ground, so it was difficult to find it without careful observation.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were bright, thinking that the big brown horse walked forward, stepped into the puddle, and fell to the ground with a pop, and the Northern Wei Dynasty boxing god also became a soup chicken, that scene must be very funny.

"Step in, step in......" Seeing the big brown horse approaching the puddle, Li Yuanhao kept shouting in his heart.

But after the big brown horse approached the puddle, he suddenly stopped, raised his horse's head and glanced at Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao saw his reflection and a trace of undisguised ridicule from the watery eyes of the big brown horse, Li Yuanhao waved his fist, you brute, what kind of expression is that, be careful to punish your nine clans?

The big brown horse let out a snort, its hind legs bent, its front legs straightened, a horse stepped on Feiyan, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and Hong Xiguan also drew an arc in the air, landing steadily on the opposite side of the puddle.

The big brown horse shook its head, kicked the horse's hooves a few times, and continued to twist its ass forward, leaving Li Yuanhao with a tall and majestic back.

Li Yuanhao was dumbfounded, and raised his mother's finger: "Niu, this is going to be a sperm." ”

The carriage traveled for another three days, and finally came to the dividing line between the Central Plains and the northwest frontier, Xueyong Pass.

At the beginning of the Great Wei Kingdom, the three major generals sat in the three border armies, except for the independent Dajiang line of the Zhennan Army, the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army had two defense lines, the first line of defense was the vanguard defense line of the confrontation between the two armies, and the second was the bottom line guarded by the two border armies.

The first line of defense of the Zhenbei Army is the line of the Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles, the second line of defense is the five towns of the North Defense, the Zhenbei Army can appropriately abandon the first line of defense, but the second line of defense must be defended, if the second line of defense is broken by the grassland barbarians, the front of the grassland iron cavalry is the fertile Central Plains land and a flat road leading to Chengde and Kaifeng, and then to the south is Tai'an City, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the Zhenxi Army, the first line of defense is the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain centered on Junma Town, and the camp of the Zhenxi Army is established fifty miles east of Junma Town, attached to this important military town, and the second line of defense is centered on Xueyong Pass.

If the Western Chu army breaks through the Xueyong Pass, it will not attack Tai'an City at a glance like the grassland breaks through the five towns of the northern defense, but the Western Chu will easily incorporate the Hetao Plain with abundant water and beautiful grass into the Western Chu, providing a place for the dragon veins in the northwest and a corner of the West Chu to take off, and the blow to the Northern Wei will be even greater.

Xueyong Pass is a natural formation, however, the Zhenxi Army has been constantly transforming and consolidating the terrain of Xueyong Pass for many years, and now Xueyong Pass presents a huge arc-shaped concave shape, forming a natural danger that can be attacked and defended, can advance and retreat, and the poet of the border sai praises Xueyong Pass as "Hexi Heavy Pass, Border Lock Key".

Different from other Xiongguan iron fences, Xueyong Pass did not build any town gates, but built a city in the next fifty miles, named Xueyong City, which means "Xueyong Blue Pass does not move forward".

The carriage arrived at Xueyong Pass just in time for the good season when the weather was blue, the sky was like a flawless jade, pure and bright, high and bright, Xueyong Pass had not yet experienced the baptism of war, so it had not been stained with blood and tears and iron bone fighting, showing a kind of natural beauty washed by lead.

It is like a lion nesting there, waiting for the great battle that belongs to it, stained with iron armor and blood, awakened by the thunderclap of bows and arrows, and then relying on many unjust souls, it has become a footnote to history, but at the moment it is still a beautiful landscape, and being in it can only make people feel the beauty of nature.

The convoy turned a corner, turned around and traveled fifty miles east, and came to Xueyong City, Hong Xiguan said that he wanted to take His Majesty the Emperor to eat some northwest flavors, where did His Majesty the Emperor withstand such temptation, so he followed Hong Xiguan to Xueyong City.

Hong Xiguan led the way into Xueyong City in front, Li Yuanhao lifted the curtain and glanced at the blue sky, the sky in the northwest border is high and blue, and the sky in the south of the Yangtze River is hazy, each with its own merits and charms, and pedestrians on the streets and alleys are wearing scarves to prevent the wind and sand from pouring into their mouths.

The general of Xueyong City is named Sima Yi, second only to Hong Longjia, Hong Xiguan and the four major generals in the Zhenxi Army.

Today, Sima Yi was waiting in the general's mansion early, and Vice General Hong had already sent a letter, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming today, and he should entertain him, but he should not be too public. Sima Yi thought about it before and after, vaguely thought of a certain possibility, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Sima to clean the mansion up and down to welcome the distinguished guests, Mrs. Sima had never seen her husband so excited and nervous, and went in and out to clean with her subordinates, Sima Yi seemed to feel unsatisfactory, and personally rolled up her sleeves and went into battle, which surprised Mrs. Sima and hurriedly took care of three points.

A horse and two carriages stopped in front of the mansion, Sima Yi straightened his clothes and hurriedly greeted him: "The last general, Sima Yi, greets General Hong!"

Hong Xiguan turned over and dismounted, the big brown horse was very conscious, and he didn't need to be greeted by others, so he walked to a place and bowed his head to graze: "General Sima, you don't need to be too vocal about this matter, just enter through the back door of the mansion." ”

Sima Yi said yes again and again, leading the carriage into the house from the back door of Sima's mansion, Mrs. Sima had prepared fruit and pastries, Sima Yi retreated from everyone, thought in his heart, and pulled his wife out as well.

Mrs. Sima is not a shrew, on the contrary, she is extremely knowledgeable, but she has been busy for many days, and today the distinguished guests have arrived, and they can't even see each other.

Mrs. Sima couldn't help but snort coldly, her jade-like hands stood up, and she touched the bun on her head: "Hmph, what a big shelf!!"

Sima Yi hurriedly covered his wife's mouth: "Madam, make a little noise, that's going to lose your head." ”

"General, what are you afraid of? Is that person still as powerful as General Hong, who came to our Sima Mansion and praised me for making delicious food. It's up to the sky, and the person who came is just a powerful son of Tai'an City, who wants to see the scenery of Biansai, and Vice General Hong personally escorts him to save face. ”

Sima Yi sighed: "Madam, you're right, the person who came is really more powerful than General Hong." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "Understood?"

Mrs. Sima covered her mouth: "Is it Your Majesty?!" After a while, she came back to her senses: "If this is the case, entering the city in such a low-key manner, Your Majesty really has no shelf." ”

Looking up at the small building, Li Yuanhao just pushed open the window of the small building, looked into the distance, and looked at Mrs. Sima, Li Yuanhao nodded, smiled slightly, turned around and retreated.

Mrs. Sima was stunned for a long time, and her face was extremely exciting: "Your Majesty is so handsome!"

Sima Yi hurriedly pulled his wife away: "Don't be a nymphomaniac, hurry up, Your Majesty wants to be quiet, and it will be troublesome to disturb the holy car." ”

I have long heard that His Majesty the Emperor is a ruthless lord who "has passed among a hundred flowers in Tai'an City, and the leaves do not stick to his body", what if he sees his precious daughter-in-law?

The two returned to their quarters, retreated to the left and right, and entered the house and closed the door.

There was no one around, Mrs. Sima grabbed Sima Yi's cheeks with her left and right hands, looked up and down, and couldn't help sighing: "It's also a man, compared with Your Majesty, you look like one in the sky and one in the ground, why did I fall in love with you back then, hey, I can't look at it anymore, look at it again, my heart is broken." ”

Sima Yi smiled, hugged his wife, and walked to the bed: "I regret it now?"

Listening to the movement in the room, the little maid outside the door couldn't help sighing and sighing, Mrs. can marry the general, it is really a blessing in the world.

In the small building, Li Yuanhao first swept the melon and fruit pastries on the table: "Brother Hong, these melon and fruit pastries are delicious and delicious, but they can't reach the extreme in the world, if this is the delicacy you said, I won't agree." ”

Hong Xiguan smiled: "Your Majesty, Xueyong City has delicious food in the world, this is true, Weichen will come when he goes." ”

Li Yuanhao looked at the departing figure of Hong Xiguan, and thought in her heart, no matter how delicious Brother Hong brought, she would not be able to taste it in one bite, see what you do, thinking of this, her face unconsciously showed a treacherous smile that Xuan'er had privately defined as His Majesty the Emperor.

After a while, Hong Xiguan walked into the small building with a large handful of sugar people in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the ultimate delicacy in the world." ”

Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up, the sugar man in Hong Xiguan's hand has different shapes and unique shapes, like crystal clear agate, lifelike, there are squatting rabbits, little monkeys pouting their butts, little goats grazing with their heads down, and ducklings with their tails crossed...... The forms are different, the more Li Yuanhao looks at it, the more he is happy, the more he looks at it, the more he is happy, he can't help but touch it with his hand, take one, lick it with his tongue first, and then tremble with his mouth, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not thick, it is indeed a delicacy in the world.

Li Yuanhao's eyes were crooked, like a crescent moon hanging on the willow tops, and he beckoned Xuan'er and Yu Qing: "You two also taste it, it's really delicious!"

Xuan'er was embarrassed, but Yu Qing generously took one over and forcibly stuffed it into the hands of the little palace maid, Xuan'er lowered her head, blushed, and licked little by little, the little eunuch was happy like a fool.

Li Yuanhao grinned, rolled his eyes, and dared to show affection under the eyelids of His Majesty the Emperor, the two of you are also the first pair in the past: "Xuan'er, the candy eater, you have to work hard and bite hard, so that you can have a taste!"

The little palace maid snorted, still slowly.

Li Yuanhao sighed, raised her head slightly, and through the windowsill of the small building, she saw a quaint carriage slowly driving into Sima Mansion, the carriage system was not a common style in the northwest, but like the carriage system in Tai'an City in the Central Plains.

Turning his head and glancing meaningfully at the Northern Wei Fist God, Li Yuanhao put down the sugar man: "Hong Xiguan, you are so bold, do you know that the crime of bullying the king is a big crime of killing the head?"

Hong Xiguan pretended not to be aware of it: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about, Weichen doesn't understand." ”

Li Yuanhao stretched out his hand and nodded at Hong Xiguan: "Brother Hong, Brother Hong, I thought you were an honest and honest loyal person, and I could rely on a trustworthy good general and loyal minister, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you didn't even hide my calculations." Getting up and straightening his clothes, Li Yuanhao obediently walked to the door, crossed his left and right hands, and put them in front of him, looking as respectful as he wanted.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the room, and it was not a person, Xuan'er listened carefully, there were about four people, two of them were calm, one was gentle, and the last one was light and heavy.

When the footsteps came to the door, His Majesty the Emperor immediately changed a bright smile, squeaked open the door, surprised with joy, joy with excitement, and shouted loudly: "Ah, Lord Zhongtang, scholar, I miss you to death!"

Wu Changhe and Suo Bilong didn't raise their eyelids, they each gave their hands, and said weakly: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

There was no courtier's respect and respect for His Majesty the Emperor at all, and it was perfunctory.

Li Xiuce and Suo Rou, who were behind Wu Changhe and Suo Bilong, raised their eyebrows to watch the show, and the other pursed their lips and snickered.

His Majesty the Emperor was not annoyed at all, but the two ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were annoyed, and they had already indulged you to go to the Zhennan Army, obeyed your wishes, and used the method of Jianghu Wufu to settle personal grievances and hatreds, and after you solved the Confucius Buddha, you did not immediately return to Tai'an City, but went to the Zhenxi Army, such an irresponsible king's behavior is really annoying.

I must punish you well today, so that I can vent the hatred in my heart, is it inappropriate for the courtiers to embarrass the emperor? But His Majesty the Emperor in front of me is also the child that I Wu Changhe and Suo Bilong watched grow up!
