Chapter 57: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
What do the people of Jinling think of the series of things that happened in Qinghe, Su Chi doesn't know, at this moment she has already left Qinghe County and set off towards Liaocheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the urgency of time, Su Chi had to ride a horse all the way, she had always thought that Fenggu was the only way to Liaocheng, but she didn't expect Su Cen to know a dangerous road: there is a Fengming Mountain a hundred miles away from Qinghe County, as long as you cross Fengming Mountain, you can go directly to Liaocheng. However, Su Cen strongly opposed this road, he didn't think that Su Chi had the physical strength and stamina, but he didn't expect that as soon as Su Chi left Qinghe County, he immediately forgot to promise Su Cen and went straight to Fengming Mountain.
Fengming Mountain is a large mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, directly isolating Liaocheng and Beiwan counties, but it is like a natural barrier in Beiwan, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many military defense camps, and now most of them have moved elsewhere. In fact, the hardship of Fengming Mountain does not mean that the terrain is steep, if you must say that it is steep, Suchi, the main peak of Fengming Mountain, does feel the limit of life. The main peak of Fengming Mountain is a cliff, almost perpendicular to the ground, and there is a very narrow path on the edge of the cliff, and people have to cross it against the cliff face. When Su Chi saw this, he realized that Su Cen was really not scaring her, and the hardships of this main peak were indeed visible. Sochi had to listen to the words of the little captain next to him, and lined up all the soldiers, and Suji was surrounded by soldiers in front and behind, and they tried to protect her as much as possible. However, Su Chi knew very well in his heart that there was no way out of this place at all, as long as one step was unstable, there would be no way to live. Su Chi breathed as smoothly as he could, moving forward step by step. Trying to step through step by step, everyone held their breath, and at this time, no matter what the wind and grass were, it could destroy everyone's faith.
In addition to moving forward, you can only go forward.
Below is an abyss, you can't stop, you can't look down, you can only move forward.
When Su Chi took the last step, she obviously felt relieved, and the little lieutenant handed her the water bag, showing her back molars and smiling: "When I left, my father told me to protect the girl's safety, so I really hung a breath!"
This little lieutenant looked seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was very childish, and he spoke very kindly, and Su Chi had a good impression of him: "Ling Zun is?"
"Yan Jin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, is my father. ”
"What's your name?"
"Yan knows. ”
"Why haven't I heard you mention it all the way?" Yan is a common surname in Jinling, so it is not easy to attract attention.
"I came halfway, Your Majesty withdrew most of our troops in Yunzhao Kingdom, and I returned to Jinling, and now I am on an errand in the Praetorian Guard. If others knew that I was the son of the Commander, they wouldn't have played with me like this, it would be so boring, so I didn't tell everyone. "Yun Zhaoguo is from the east of Beiwan, it is a small island country, because of the constant disputes between the two sides, Yun Zhaoguo has always only robbed finances and not killed people, so he has never really fought. A few years ago, the prince of Yunzhao Kingdom suddenly came and went, and later the two sides reached an agreement, and His Majesty ordered someone to withdraw the army on the border.
"You are so young, you became a captain for nothing, and no one doubts your identity?"
"At first, it was like this, but then they saw my skills and knew that I had come back from the border pass, so they asked me to talk about the border all day long, so it was not difficult for me. "Although the Praetorian Guard looks noble, it is a royal guard team that no one can move without a token except for the Commander and His Majesty, but unless the enemy army attacks the imperial city, they will never see a war for the rest of their lives.
"Daddy clearly told me that the girl's safety is very important, and this mission cannot be missed, why didn't he come himself?" Yan Zhizhi casually skimmed a reed and chewed it in his mouth.
"Since it's a task given to you by your father, why don't you ask him personally?"
I asked. Yan Xiaoxiao's voice was muffled and a little aggrieved.
Su Chi looked at him puzzled, and Yan Zhi spit out the reeds in his mouth, "My father said that stupid people should talk less and do more things, so that they will not expose their stupidity in every word." Dad kept calling me stupid. ”
"If he really thinks you are stupid, how can he entrust my safety to you, and how can he make you the leader of our people?" Su Chi smiled and comforted her, she was only twelve years old now, but she was more mature than Yan Zhi, who was seventeen or eighteen. Of course Yan Jin can't come in person, the trouble along the way is obviously designed by someone with a heart, and in the case of being targeted, only letting Su Yuan, Su Cen, and Yan Jin live under the supervision of the enemy is the safest, and no one would have thought that she, the young lady, would become the executor of the mission, which is why Su Yuan took precautions to designate Su Chi to complete the task.
Yan Zhi bent his head, feeling that there was nothing wrong with this. Yan knew that he found that Suchi's water bag was empty, so he gave him his own very righteously, and happily followed the Praetorian Guards behind.
It wasn't until later out of Fengming Mountain that Su Chi rode all the way forward, which was really painful for her. In the past, it was just a short walk, and the horseback riding was both comfortable and chic, so happy, but now it is bumpy on horseback every day that I really feel that the people on horseback are really not easy to be.
Running around day by day, speeding up every day・・・・・・
Finally saw the gate of Liaocheng, worried that the road would be too conspicuous, so Su Chi decided to reduce these accompanying Praetorian Guards to zero. Yan knew that he insisted on following her, and Su Chi did not refuse, after all, her safety as a girl was indeed a problem.
The moment Su Chi and Yan Zhi, who were wearing the veil, entered Liaocheng, Su Chi felt that he might have come to fake Liaocheng. Su Yuan and Su Cen once told her: Liaocheng is located at the junction of Yanguo, Beiwan and Southern Qi, and was originally the territory of Southern Qi. So Liaocheng has completely become a thief-rampant three-regardless zone, in recent years, Shu Yunjing has been there in the border, sending generals to garrison Liaocheng every year, and the local people are protected by Beiwan and the people of Beiwan regard themselves as self-proclaimed, so Suchi subconsciously thinks that Liaocheng must be a rich and prosperous place now.
But the situation before me was like hell on earth: the streets were full of beggars, and the accompanying troops came and went shouting at the people, especially the cavalry, which was flying and dusty, and did not care at all about the life and death of the people. There were too many people begging along the street, and when Su Chi came back to his senses, Yan knew that he had been chased by a group of beggars, and Yan knew that he was in a hurry and carried her and ran, running all the way to an alley, and Yan knew that he put her down.
Yan Xiaoxiao also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and touched the back of his head: "I didn't expect them to chase after me like this, I just gave a few pennies, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He waved his hand like this, and the things in his sleeve fell down like this, and fell straight on the surface of Su Chi's feet.
Su Chi picked it up and handed it to him, casually: "Can't release the scroll?"
