Chapter 189: Dragon City

The prince and his entourage stopped and stopped, and finally arrived in Dragon City half a month later.

Jia Qing, the general of Longcheng, is a man with five big and three rough, but being able to garrison at such an important border pass, of course, is not as mindless as it seems on the surface, in fact, this person is not only not the kind of mindless person, on the contrary, his mind is quite delicate, otherwise he would not have been stationed at this pass for twenty years.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, the air is dry, and the conditions are so difficult that ordinary people can endure, Prince Xuanyuan Rui frowned deeply as early as when he stepped on this land, and he faintly began to regret it in his heart.

I knew that the conditions were so difficult, so I thought of a way to stay in the city behind......

But this will no longer be able to go back, and you can already see the domineering two words engraved on the archway of the city, "Dragon City".

Looking from a distance, Na Jia Qing led the important soldiers in the city to stand outside the city gate to greet the convoy, and when they walked in, they could feel the cold air on this group of people.

The border man is the real iron-blooded man.

The prince got down from the special soft sedan chair, frowned deeply as soon as his feet landed, and immediately put a veil on his face.

This yellow sand in the sky is really annoyingly tight, and the attendant who followed saw this and hurriedly yelled at Jia Qing: "What's the drop?" Seeing that the prince still doesn't say goodbye, do you want to die?! ”

This guard's nostrils are facing the sky, and he has always followed the prince lawlessly, but at this moment, he looks down on the soldiers of this barbarian land, thinking that he has never seen the world, and he is inconsiderate, and he is really a group of elm heads.

When the soldiers behind Jia Qing heard this, their faces instantly turned ugly, you know, after all, this is the people from the barracks, and they all saw blood on the battlefield. How many heads did this life use to get back, and I can't listen to this kind of "death" words, and this little sissy cannon, when she comes up, she pokes her heart, isn't this looking for a fight?

"You!"

As soon as he raised his hand, Jia Qing stopped the young general behind him who was full of disgrief, and took a deep look at the guard. only to face the crown prince. Kneeling on one knee: "Jia Qing, the general who guards the city of Longcheng, has led eighteen generals and has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The group of generals behind him. also knelt down to salute: "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xuanyuan Rui also felt that there was something wrong with his guards, but he couldn't pull his face down to apologize, so he could only say coldly: "Well, there's no need to be polite." Get up. ”

When Jia Qing and the others stood up, the prince was really a little impatient. Feeling that every pore on his body was sand, he said a little eagerly: "General Jia, let's go into the city and talk." ”

Jia Qing nodded and arched his hand: "The prince is tired of driving. Xiaguan and others specially prepared thin wine to wash the dust for the prince, the prince. Please move inside the city. ”

As he spoke, he leaned sideways and moved out of the way. The prince walked into Dragon City without squinting, and the 10,000 personal soldiers behind him also followed into Dragon City.

Dragon City, is the nearest city on the border between Chongqing and Qianguo, Longcheng is the border five kilometers ahead, and at this moment, the soldiers and horses of Qianguo are also gearing up at the position of ten kilometers of the border, and the situation is very urgent.

It is because there is no telling when a war will break out here, and the people in Dragon City have all moved away and moved to the nearby Yangguan City, which is almost an empty city at this time.

When the prince saw this, he didn't think it was anything, but he felt that this place was too desolate, and the attendant looked even more disdainful, and didn't pay attention to these things at all.

Soon arrived at the general's mansion, the prince naturally lived in the main courtyard with the best conditions, and the attendant looked at this courtyard with nothing but stone and wood, and he couldn't stand it, and he didn't even have a few bamboos, which was really shabby.

The prince was indeed tired all the way, and he didn't have time to care about this, so he returned to the room in a few steps, and after settling in, he ordered someone to send bath water, take a good bath, and wash off the yellow sand on his body.

At this time, the attendant who was waiting outside rolled his eyes and said quite respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, go and see how the meal they have prepared, so as not to violate the taboo of Your Highness." ”

At this moment, the prince was soaking in the bathtub, and his whole body was comfortable, and when he heard this, he groaned slightly, and agreed, "Well, go ahead." ”

This squire grew up with him since he was a child, and he knows his own tastes and hobbies well, so it's good to let him give him advice.

The attendant walked all the way to the dining room, and when he saw Jia Qing's so-called reception banquet, his face turned pale, and he exclaimed: "Bold! You reckless men, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall? ! How dare you be disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Jia Qingjian frowned, and said unhappily: "This little brother, the minister has guarded the border pass for Dayu for more than 20 years, and he has always been loyal, and he has died, I don't know, where did he come from to say disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

However, as if he had a huge handle, the attendant jumped in front of Jia Qing and pointed at his nose and scolded: "General Jia, are you embarrassed to say? What is the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? That's a golden body, delicate and expensive, and you should be waiting for you with a twelve-point spirit! ”

"But what about you?!" The attendant pointed his finger at the table and shouted angrily, "Look at what you have eaten for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!" ”

"This cabbage is just a trace of oil and gas, it's not fresh, it's delicious," a trace of disgust flashed in the waiter's eyes, and he picked and chose on the plate with chopsticks, so that the soldiers behind him looked red.

This is not the end, the attendant picks and chooses all the way, and keeps scolding in his mouth, what "pork is too greasy", "duck is too old", "chicken is too fishy"...... Anyway, nothing appetizing.

Not to mention the white porridge and steamed buns, which have long been swept to the ground.

Jia Qing looked at the mess in front of him, his tiger eyes rolled with gloomy anger, and his gaze staring at the attendant was like a sharp blade, firmly locking him in the range of the attack.

The attendant was shocked by this evil spirit, trembled all over, and as if he remembered something, he craned his neck and shouted loudly: "General Jia! What do you mean! I'm kind enough to remind you, this thing won't be eaten by dogs, if you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eat a bad stomach, you can afford to take responsibility! ”

Jia Qing almost gritted his silver teeth, and stared at the attendant deadly, but the other party relied on the prince as a backer, and looked at him without fear, without the slightest repentance.

“…… Come! ”

Although the attendant was holding his neck, his heart was a little weak, after all, this group of people came to cut first and then play, but he didn't have a second life waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take revenge! Bah! No, no, I won't die! If they dare to do it, they will run! It's pretty close to the backyard anyway......

The attendant who had made up his mind moved quietly outside the door, and at this time, a few people wearing small soldier clothes walked in outside the door and saluted Jia Qing: "General! ”

Glancing at it, he was trembling, but his face was a stubborn attendant, Jia Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of depth, and he said lightly: "Clean up, hurry up and make a new table, it will be better." ”

The soldier was stunned, "General, this is already ......"

"Go!"

The soldier was blocked, his face was bitter, he turned his head to look at the mess all over the ground, and his heart ached so much that his face turned pale, but because of the general's momentum, he didn't dare to speak more, but he finished cleaning up with a bitter face, and the one that didn't touch the ground was put on a clean plate, and he carefully carried it down.

The attendant was a little dumbfounded, and then reacted that he had won, and his heart was overjoyed, and he was even more sure that this person would not dare to move himself, and immediately raised a smug look on his face, raised his chin at the black-faced soldier behind Jia Qing, and walked out with his head held high.

When the hateful dogleg disappeared, the soldiers behind Jia Qing stepped forward with angry faces, "General! Why are you spilling here with that guy! ”

The soldiers were full of grief, "You must know that in the past year, natural disasters have been severe, the people have almost no harvest, and the imperial court has lost the treasury in order to empty it, and this side has harvested less than half of the grain!" ”

"Brothers, it hasn't smelled oil stars for months! Even the white flour steamed buns can only be eaten once a week! But! But that bastard just now! How dare he! ”

The soldier's eyes were already red with excitement, his voice was choked, he couldn't speak, looking at his general's eyes were dark, but his face was expressionless, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, and he was speechless for a while, so he simply turned around and rushed out.

Jia Qing watched him run away, and sighed in his heart.

Why wasn't he angry in his heart? No one was angrier than he was.

It is precisely because we know the hardships of the soldiers, the hardships of the country, and the cherishing of the lives of every soldier that this battle must not be fought.

If there is a fight, how can the brothers, who can't even eat enough, go into battle to kill the enemy? It's no different from giving each other a head.

It is precisely because of knowing that this qiē is related to the delicate and noble prince, if the other party can successfully negotiate peace, then what are they to endure this?

It is better to starve than to lose your life.

Looking at the little oil stars on the ground that were still glowing, Jia Qing's eyes were dark, and he simply went out and didn't stay here, this taste was indeed quite tempting.

……

"Xiaguan respects His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's journey is tiring, very hard, Xiaguan replaces the tens of millions of people in Dayu, and is grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and righteousness!"

At this moment, it was the time of the lantern, and the temperature outside the plug was about to drop at night, and the food that had been re-prepared on the table was already warm in less than a moment.

In addition, the prince himself was tired all the way, and he had no appetite at the moment, so he hastily drank two sips of porridge and couldn't eat.

Jia Qing raised his wine glass to toast, Xuanyuan Rui chuckled and responded, as soon as the wine entered his mouth, he was filled with spicy taste in his nose, and a spicy liquid flowed down his esophagus into his stomach, and the burning sensation rose, and a red cloud suddenly appeared on his face.

The cold seemed to be driven away, and Xuanyuan Rui's mood also improved, so he exclaimed: "Good wine!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Qing showed a rare soft smile on his face, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, it's cold at night outside the Saiwai, and the soldiers all rely on this strong wine to keep warm, otherwise they will freeze to death in the ice and snow in winter." (To be continued.) )
