Chapter Twenty-Three: The Prince on a White Horse
Outside Yanlan City, 100,000 troops lined up in a huge phalanx!
The dragon rhino sat on the back of the horse in bronze armor, he picked up the wine glass in his hand, and sprinkled half of the cup on the land of Yan under the tilt, and the remaining half cup was raised to the bottom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Kill!! Kill! Kill! "The cry of a hundred thousand troops was deafening.
Yan Huang sat in the sedan chair and looked at his son riding on the horse through the rolled up sedan curtains!
"If it weren't for the impathy, the father would be willing to send his son to war! The war is cruel, and the sword is merciless! The only thing I can do now is to hope that my ancestors and ancestors will bless my son with a triumphant return! Revive the majesty of the Yan country!
Emperor Yan prayed silently in his heart.
Almost all the civil and military officials and the people in Yanlan City came! Despite the howling north wind, everyone knelt neatly on the ground with great awe, looking up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on horseback.
At that moment, a wave of hope rose in everyone's hearts! An infinite longing for the future of Yan State.
Even Zhao Wei feels that the future is infinitely better! And this beauty has only gradually become clear since last night, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he thought about it.
Zhao Lingxin knelt beside Zhao Xuan, staring at the tall figure on horseback with her eyes, but her heart swelled with sadness.
This perfect man, the god-like man in her life, the man for whom she was willing to give her life, yet deeply in love with another woman! What a sorrow for her!
Three cannon shots! The 100,000-strong army lined up in a long line, and only waited for the prince to give an order, and then they could march west! .
"Call Zhao Lingxin here! This king has something to say! The dragon rhino said to the dark iron beside him.
Zhao Lingxin hurriedly walked over and knelt down in front of the prince's horse, "Your Highness!" Go to Xiguan, take care, Your Highness! After saying just one word, he choked up and couldn't help himself.
"Zhao Lingxin! Listen up! I swore an oath! I will never marry Zhao Zhen's daughter as a concubine! If you are entangled like this again! The dragon rhino would rather die at the border! Never look back! ”
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and disappeared into the howling north wind in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Lingxin knelt in place in a daze, and her ten fingers dug into the dirt under her knees, "The most vicious thing in the world!" She finally knew what it was! ”
"Xin'er! What did the prince say? Zhao Wei picked up his daughter and asked impatiently.
Zhao Lingxin smiled sadly, "His Highness said let me wait for him!" ”
From Yanlan to Xiguan, the fast horse has to walk for more than ten days, if it is slow, I am afraid it will take at least half a month.
Along the way, the dragon rhino was silent, and his face was indifferent and terrifying.
An army of 100,000 marched westward under the leadership of the crown prince.
From sunrise to dusk, 100 kilometers is the limit!
When he arrived in Sanchahe Town, he was already sleepy and tired, so Long Xi had to order to camp here.
The town of Sanchahe is named after the Sancha River, which is the confluence of three rivers, and standing on the embankment you can clearly see two divergences, one to the east and the other to the west.
The dragon rhino stood on the wooden bridge, looking at the bloody remnant sun in the sky, and his mood was extremely depressed.
"Your Highness! This official road to the right is the only way to go to Dongyu, if you pick a fast horse, and then chase forty or fifty miles may be able to catch up! Xuantie raised his hand and pointed to the road by the river.
The dragon rhino didn't respond, just turned his head and looked at the end of the road silently, and looked at it for a long time!
Qiao Xiaoqiao took the carriage for the first time, and she felt very fresh at first, but after a long time, she felt that she had begun to be a little unable to hold on.
The carriage was hired by Yuan Mu for money, and the coachman was a sturdy man in his thirties, who didn't talk much along the way, while Yuan Mu rode a horse to always protect the carriage.
The slow speed of the carriage is not the main problem! The point was that it was too bumpy, and there were a few times when she couldn't hold on, so she had to get off the station and take a break on the side of the road.
When she arrived at Sanchahe Town, Yuan Mu suggested staying here for the night, but Qiao Xiaoqiao disagreed, hoping to hold on a little longer and get to the next town before dark.
Yuan Mu was also eager to return home, and since Her Royal Highness the princess insisted on hurrying, he readily agreed.
Qiao Xiaoqiao once again couldn't support it and stopped the carriage, and sat on the side of the road gasping for breath with Yuan Mu's support.
"How far have we come?"
"Second princess! This place is more than 150 miles away from Yanlan City. ”
"One hundred and fifty miles? It's so far! ”
"Second princess! There's only twenty miles left before the next town, hold on! ”
Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded.
The setting sun stained the sky blood, and the world outside the car window was scarlet.
Qiao Xiaoqiao always felt that this was a dream! From the day he crossed over, this dream had no end.
These days, there have been pains and frightes, happiness and happiness! In just a few months, she felt that she had matured, if in that life, she was just a child hiding under the wings of her parents and playing tricks, but in this life, she had experienced several lives and deaths! What can be done? Even the one who always wanted to kill her was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child!
She suddenly felt so sleepy! It's no wonder she hasn't closed her eyes since last night!
Last night! The thought of last night made her miserable! She quickly closed her eyes, hoping that she would fall asleep quickly.
"Second princess! Second princess! Yuan Mu lowered his voice and shouted twice outside the window.
Qiao Xiaoqiao sat up and lifted the curtains, "What's the matter?" Then she realized that it was already dark.
"I think someone is following us!" Yuan Mu said quietly.
"Tracking?" Qiao Xiaoqiao was excited, and his mind suddenly cleared up.
On this big night, if he was really targeted by some bandit and grass coward, Yuan Mu alone would probably only be fierce, and Qiao Xiaoqiao began to be afraid.
Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao getting nervous, Yuan Mu hurriedly comforted, "Second princess, don't be afraid!" This is the official road! There are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, and if they really encounter bad people, they don't dare to do anything to us! After saying that, he urged the coachman, who raised the whip in his hand, and the horse pulling the cart rushed forward with all his strength.
Qiao Xiaoqiao sat in the carriage and wrenched her hands nervously, she even regretted that she didn't bring the escort guards arranged by the prince!
"Second princess!" Outside the window, Yuan Mu whispered again.
"Second princess! There's a grove in front! I've already told the coachman, you go and hide first!" I'd like to see what these people are doing with us! Yuan Mu took out a knife from his waist and held it in his hand.
After the carriage hid in the grove, Yuan Mu restrained the horse and stood under the shadow of a tree.
The moon wasn't particularly bright tonight, but it was good enough to see the road.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Qiao Xiaoqiao stood beside the carriage, and she could clearly hear herself "Knock knock!" The sound of a heartbeat.
On the official road, a white horse galloped under the moon, and the figure on the horseback was tall, and the white cloak on his body grinned in the wind!
Seeing that there was only one person, Qiao Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't have to be a prince on a white horse!" Somehow, Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered this sentence.
When is it, I am still in the mood to think nonsense!
Yuan Mu clenched the big knife in his hand and stared nervously at the person in front of him.
The white horse galloped past in front of Yuan Mu with its master!
But suddenly he stopped ahead, and the man seemed to sense something, and he turned his horse's head and walked slowly towards the grove.
"No matter who it is, dare to take a step forward! Surely he will be chopped off with a knife! Yuan Mu clenched the knife and muttered silently in his heart.
The man didn't mean to stop, just as he passed by Yuan Mu's side, Yuan Mu in the shadows raised his big knife and slashed at the person!
"Seven Princes!" Yuan Mu suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly stopped!
Feng Lingxuan's white horse was frightened, raised its front hooves and neighed.
"Phew!" Feng Lingxuan reined in his horse and raised his eyebrows at Yuan Muyi, "General Yuan, don't come unharmed!" The tone was very lazy.
"Seven Princes!"
Seeing Feng Lingxuan here, Qiao Xiaoqiao was really surprised and delighted, and at the same time felt a great grievance.
Feng Lingxuan turned over and dismounted before he could gain a firm foothold, Qiao Xiaoqiao had already galloped from the woods, and plunged into his arms and cried "woo-woo".
Feng Lingxuan stretched out his arms and took Qiao Xiaoqiao into his arms!
