All the way south, Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang did not dare to be slow in the slightest, almost day and night. It was supposed to take three months to travel, but they drove it into a month and a half.

Walking into the southern frontier, the sky is filled with a light rain, like a curtain made of the thinnest pearls, fluttering in the wind in front of you.

The scenery is completely different from the imperial capital of Guanzhong, there are no majestic mountains, and every bit here is extraordinarily delicate and fresh, like a shallow landscape in the painting. It turns out that there is really such a place in this world, if there is no invasion of war, Du Yunjin thinks that this place can also be called a paradise.

Xiao Shaokang was slightly nervous, he held the reins and carefully followed Du Yunjin's side. What her physical condition is, he has always known, and he has been carefully recuperating in the past few years, and he knows that with the current situation of Du Yunjin, she can at most pick up a long sword that is not too heavy, but it is impossible to wear armor to the battlefield. Sure enough, since she left the imperial capital, she began to start the heat, if she was still in the imperial capital East Palace, it would be good to recuperate carefully for a few days, but not only did she not rest but accelerated her footsteps, so tired that he was always worried, for fear that she would not be able to hold on and fall off the horse. As everyone knows, he looked down on Du Yunjin too much, as the daughter of the Du family, she is destined to live on horseback, Mo said that she is still holding her eyes at the moment, even if she really closes her eyes, she will faint on horseback.

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Shaokang looked back at the team behind him, and he was marching non-stop for days, and Rao's well-trained army was a little overwhelmed.

"What?" Du Yunjin was holding on all the way, and the reason why she would do this was very simple, just to tell Rong Jingcheng and the local people who were still stationed in Changdao County, that the imperial court had not given up on them, and the imperial court had already sent a large army and was determined to destroy those rampant Yiren.

"Sister-in-law, we have now entered the southern Xinjiang ground, and we will be able to reach Changdao County in two days. The weather is bad right now, so why don't you stop and rest for a while? ”

When Du Yunjin heard this, he looked up at the drizzle the size of a cow's hair needle, and said to Xiao Shaokang with a little reproach: "If you can't even withstand this little rain, how can you retreat from the enemy!" ”

Xiao Shaokang, like Xiao Yu, is a child of a royal family who has never led an army to battle, so he naturally treats this little thing as a big thing, but he doesn't know that Du Bocheng's constant victory comes from his rigor in governing the army and his almost abusive style, and Du Yunjin, as Du Bocheng's only daughter and the heir of Du Jiajun, how can he have the delicate style of ordinary people!

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Shaokang couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he couldn't persuade Du Yunjin, but he was still very polite and respectful in his words. "We have been traveling day and night, and even if everyone rushes to Long Island County like this, they can only be physically and mentally exhausted, losing their original combat effectiveness, and they still can't retreat from the enemy!"

Du Yunjin glanced at it coldly, and then whipped the horse's ass fiercely, and decisively distanced himself from Xiao Shaokang.

Xiao Shaokang saw that she didn't eat oil and salt like this, and he was so angry that he didn't know what to do. When the chamberlain who followed him saw it, he immediately raised his head and said flatteringly: "Why should the prince be like the crown princess, the prince is the supervisor of His Majesty's own seal, and the prince can stop if the army stops, so why bother to ask the crown princess?" ”

These words show that they are praising Xiao Shaokang, but in fact, they are sowing discord. Because of his strong request, Xiao Feng agreed to let him also go with the army, he originally intended to be a military medical officer or something, but he didn't expect that when the holy decree came down, he would become a prison army, the emperor's eyeliner. It's not a nice job, it's a hot potato. Since ancient times, the position of supervising the army has been held by the emperor's closest person, who is responsible for telling the emperor everything that happened in the army, and because it has caused a lot of unjust cases. How can those delicate and vigorous emperor's eyeliner have a common discourse with the generals who have been in the army all year round, and many incidents can be caused in just a few words, and the prison soldiers rely on themselves to have the emperor as their backer, and they tell the truth behind their backs, dividing the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and then there are tragedies one after another.

Xiao Shaokang actually hates such a two-faced villain very much, but he didn't expect him to sit in such a position now.

The chamberlain who spoke saw that Xiao Shaokang's face was not as good as he expected, but it was a little darker, and he knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, Xiao Shaokang gathered up a harmless face in front of Du Yunjin, and glanced at the chamberlain lightly before slowly speaking: "This king is the supervising army, the crown princess is the vanguard, and in terms of warfare, this king only has the right to propose the establishment of yì." I haven't heard of the prison army and the right to stop when you say it, why did you make it up? Could it be that your master, King Qing, taught it? ”

Hearing Xiao Shaokang's words, he moved out of King Qing, and the chamberlain was so frightened that he immediately jumped off the horse, and knelt down regardless of whether the ground was full of puddles. Xiao Shaokang is right, his master is indeed Xiao Yuli, the king of Qing, and he went with the army to serve King Yu in order to see King Yu's every move. Of course, he didn't follow the line on King Qing's face, he was arranged by Huang Yuan, the head of the inner chamberlain, so he shouldn't be able to see the relationship between him and King Qing.

But......

Xiao Shaokang knew so quickly that he was King Qing's person, no, maybe Xiao Shaokang had already known about this matter, but he didn't break it. It is said that King Yu has no quarrel with the world, and he only knows how to toss his pharmacy every day, but he didn't expect that he is also a member of the Xiao family after all, and he has enough hearts.

Xiao Shaokang looked at the person who kept kowtowing on the ground, and didn't intend to stay for him, so he drove his horse towards Du Yunjin.

This expedition was very hurried, and Du Yunjin did not have any female soldiers waiting with him, in other words, there was no second one in the entire army except for her, who was a woman. Ruyu grew up in the East Palace since she was a child, and she was afraid that she would not be able to endure such hardships when she went on the expedition, so Du Yunjin did not take her with him, so some close things were done by Du Yunjin himself. She used to do it, although Du Bocheng doted on her, but never doted on her, when she first entered the barracks, she was treated like an ordinary soldier, she didn't have too much depression when she did it at the moment, on the contrary, it evoked the memories and nostalgia of the past years in her heart.

"Sister-in-law?" Xiao Shaokang knew that his words were afraid of annoying Du Yunjin, so he spoke more carefully at the moment. "If Shaokang is not right, the eldest sister-in-law will say it."

"There's nothing wrong with what you're saying." Seeing Xiao Shaokang bowing his head like this, Du Yunjin couldn't pretend to be angry anymore, so he had to lower his voice and explain his calculations to him. "The rebellion dragged on for too long, and our army lost again and again, so what is needed now is to stabilize the morale of the army. It can be seen that after one blow, then declining, and then exhausted, we marched to Nagashima County in a hurry, but we wanted to tell General Sù Rong and all the soldiers and the local people that the imperial court was determined to destroy it. ”

"I see."

Xiao Shaokang really understood what Du Yunjin was thinking at this moment. He didn't see as comprehensively as her, and he didn't think long-term as her, and at this moment he met Du Yunjin for the first time, the female general Du Yunjin who could only be heard in the mouths of storytellers.
