"This is the voice of Aunt Chun." Xinghua stood up with some confusion, frowned, and said, "Why did Mrs. suddenly remember to look for me?" Even if she has any thoughts, she shouldn't be so blatant, isn't she afraid that the girl will be suspicious? ”

Gu Qiluo also frowned and said: "Mrs. is very scheming, and the reason why she did this is precisely because she doesn't want me to be suspicious. Anyway, why don't you go over and see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd? ”

Xinghua agreed, and after a while came back and said, "It's strange, my wife didn't say anything, she said that I did a good job of needlework, and asked me to make a forehead for her." ”

Gu Qiluo nodded and said, "In this case, you can make one for her, and it will be over if you send it." I expect that there should be more than this, let's see what other means she has in the future. ”

Xinghua agreed, but she was hesitant in her heart, like a shadow, and there was always an ominous feeling.

Time flies in a hurry, summer goes to autumn in a blink of an eye, from the beginning of August, the good news of the northern Xinjiang has been passed repeatedly, this time the old general Zheng did not go out with the army, and the frontier is to be the first-class general Guan Dasheng as the commander. Xiao Jiangbei's name began to appear frequently in the newspapers, almost every time it appeared, it represented a big victory, and as his military exploits became more and more dazzling, rumors about his marriage to Princess Xining were also rampant, and this gossip even reached the ears of the emperor.

"What do you think about the marriage with Xining?"

Sitting in the imperial study, the emperor threw a book of music on the table, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, while asking the prince standing in front of him.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What? Father's intention? ”

The emperor smiled and said, "It's good for eternity." Fighting against Northern Hungary together, this can be regarded as a good thing for a thousand years, can I not move? ”

Seeing my father speak so bluntly. The prince didn't want to say his thoughts directly, because he pondered for a while, Fang said: "The matter of harmony has existed since ancient times, but I haven't seen any of them really form an eternal good, whether it is a friend or an enemy, it is nothing more than interests, what can a woman control?" Erchen asked his father, a peerless general of Xining and Great Xia. Which do you want? ”

Emperor, who is that? Hearing his son say this, he knew what he meant, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you are very optimistic about your brother-in-law." A peerless celebrity? Hmm, are you so sure? ”

"What Erchen said just now was a bit exaggerated." The prince smiled.

The emperor nodded, and secretly said that this is about the same, a peerless general. How dare you say it. Just thinking about it. I heard the prince add again: "Indeed, Jiangbei can't be regarded as a peerless celebrity now, at most he is a peerless celebrity growing up." ”

Fortunately, he has been an emperor for more than 30 years, otherwise he would have to spray tea. His Majesty the Emperor glared at his son angrily, and said angrily, "Can you speak more smoothly?" Is it trying to pit your dad and me so much? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare." The prince hurriedly bowed down to salute, and the sky was pitiful, he really didn't mean to cheat his father, but just remembered his brother-in-law. There was a sense of pride and pride rising from his heart, so he accidentally dug a pit for the emperor's father.

"Say so. Do you think this marriage will not succeed? ”

The emperor put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice, and sure enough, he heard the prince say respectfully: "It's not that it can't be successful, if Princess Xining is willing to make peace, except for Jiangbei, I don't think anyone can refuse, in fact, I am full of talents in Daxia, and I am not the only one who stinks boy." ”

"Princess Xining has always been proud, if she is willing to marry any person, the lord of Xining will not be named in the letter." The emperor lowered his gaze and said lightly, thought about it and raised his head again, and muttered: "I know that kid likes his fiancée very much, and he gave him a treasure knife when they first met. However, a seven-foot man, three wives and four concubines are also common, let Princess Xining be his wife, give his fiancée the name of a flat wife, and he can be on an equal footing with the princess, that girl is afraid that she will not disagree, right? This is already a great honor. ”

The crown prince smiled and said: "Father, although the girl of the Gu family is powerful, but once she is unwilling, she will definitely obey it." The problem now is that the stinky boy in Jiangbei will definitely not agree. That's why Erchen asked his father, a temporary promise of Xining and a famous general of Great Xia, which do you want? ”

The emperor was silent, and suddenly glared at him for a long time, and said angrily at the prince: "It's all your habit, you can't control a brother-in-law, tell me, what else can you do as a prince?" ”

"What can I do? That kid is a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, you see that he used to go deep into Northern Hungary to rob those noble tribes, this bastard didn't take his life to heart at all, if his father really made a will, he would definitely take the Gu family girl to the end of the world. ”

This is a great disrespect, and if someone else says it, it is a capital offense. However, the emperor is an easy-going person, although he has the power of life and death, but he is not willing to give up the joy of family because of this, so the father and son talk very casually, if not, the prince does not dare to speak out.

"That's it." The emperor was originally mentally prepared for this result, and when he heard the prince say this, it was not very difficult to accept, but it was inevitable that there was some pity in his heart, but as the prince said, a Xining country could not give much help to Great Xia, nor could it be much hindered.

The matter was put down, and no one mentioned it again.

***************************

"General, the wind has been blowing for a day and a night, and we have lost our way."

The adjutant general's voice was hoarse, and the man, who had never even cared about life and death, was full of frustration in his voice at this time.

Xiao Jiangbei looked up at the sky, the sun was in the sky, and the blazing sun sprinkled down, ruthlessly evaporating the water in their bodies.

"Collect food and water for everyone, distribute water once a day in the evening from now on, and walk day and night." Xiao Jiangbei ordered in a deep voice, and when he saw the deputy general leading the order, the always calm expression on his face disappeared, and his brows were tightly locked.

"General, eighty percent of us have entered the Great Ghost Desert, this ghost desert is said to be small, but it is evil and fatal, some people may go out in two or three days, and some people ...... I can only be trapped here. ”

Qianhu Langning beside Xiao Jiangbei said softly. The Great Ghost Desert is a very mysterious and terrifying place in Northern Hungary, as he just said, this desert is said to be not big, and some people go into the depths in a daze, and they may be able to get out in a day or two; But some people just enter the desert, and then want to go back and lose their way, if they are lucky, they can still come out, and if they are unlucky, they can only be buried in this mysterious sea of sand. Legend has it that a long time ago, a great war broke out between the two tribes of Northern Hungary here, and one of the tribes had a master of formation, who laid a battle in this desert and trapped the men and horses of the other tribe alive here.

Thousands of years have passed, and the tribal centaurs who were trapped and killed at the beginning are afraid that even their bones have turned to ashes, but the desperate battle in this desert is left behind, and from time to time it will devour the lives of the intruders. Lang Ning looked at Xiao Jiangbei, this is his idol, the young god of war is famous, as long as the slaughtering sword is in hand, he can defeat thousands of troops. However, in the face of this Jedi, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it will not be of any use.

It's true...... Can you only be trapped here? Langning silently watched the adjutant general collect water among the soldiers, everyone here is an elite soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, but unfortunately did not die on the battlefield, but will be buried in this desert.

It's all because General Che is light on the enemy, if he hadn't led a large army to kidnap the Northern Hun Shan Yu who personally went to the border to supervise the battle, we wouldn't have gone deep into the enemy territory in order to save him, and as a result, they were rescued, but General Xiao was ruthlessly pursued and killed because of his reputation, and finally had no choice but to take this remnant army to be forced into this desert.

"General, fortunately, we marched in a hurry, and each person brought ten days of food and water, and now we only use up three days' supply, and it is not a problem to save half a month and hold on." The adjutant general came to report, and Xiao Jiangbei was silent for a moment before ordering: "Stay in place and march at night." ”

"General."

The adjutant general didn't know why, but Lang Ning quickly understood what Xiao Jiangbei meant, and said in a lost voice: "The general is going to use the Big Dipper to identify the direction and get out of this desert?" ”

"Not bad." Xiao Jiangbei didn't say much, no matter how powerful the Huns' array master was, it was impossible to change the sun, moon and stars, right?

"But ......" Langning hesitated, they only had half a month, they should race against time, if the Big Dipper was used to guide the direction, then it would be impossible to march during the day, how much time would it take? What's more, the climate at night in the desert is unknown, what if it is windy and sandy? Or the bitter cold? Moreover, once there is wind and rain, cloudy weather, what if the Big Dipper does not appear? There were so many variations that he didn't think it was a good idea at all.

However, Langning only said two words, and did not say any more, entering this ghost desert, even if it is an elite soldier who has killed countless people, he does not have the momentum of indomitable, compared to the bloody battlefield, it is easier to wear down the will of the soldiers in such a treacherous place. Xiao Jiangbei is the commander of this army at this time, as long as he can be calm, no matter what outrageous decisions are made, everyone can always follow him. Otherwise, once someone starts to be suspicious and discouraged, then they are really not far from death.

"Will go out."

Xiao Jiangbei glanced at Lang Ning beside him, and said in a deep voice: "I promised her that I would definitely go back alive to marry her, and I would not let her be widowed." ”

"General." Ronning said when was this? How can the general still have the heart to joke? However, when he saw Xiao Jiangbei's extremely serious and determined look, his heart jumped suddenly, and a few glimmers of hope suddenly rose in his originally desperate mood.

"Rest well, I will definitely take you out of this Jedi." Xiao Jiangbei didn't say more, found a big stone in the shadow and sat down, silently closed his eyes and recuperated. Affected by his composure and perseverance, the originally panicked team suddenly quieted down, and the soldiers no longer exchanged words, but sat down to rest on rocks. (To be continued......)
