"If you can't help it, just tell me loudly, Chen Ye, I'm going to kill you, why are you sneaking behind your back, like a girl." After Chen Ye finished speaking, the soldier laughed.

The envoy's face was ugly as if he had eaten a piece of Xiang, Chen Ye was not afraid of offending the envoy, anyway, what if you can't take me? Do you really think that the 20,000 soldiers and horses I brought with me were just to protect me?

This little episode will definitely not let Princess Pingyang know, just make up a reason, just hide it, and the team continues to set off.

Originally, the speed of the team was relatively slow, and whenever Chen Ye went to a place, as long as he found that the local officials were flattering and flattering the barbarians, he asked Jinyiwei to check it carefully, and he found out a bunch of them when he checked it. It was found out that they were all raided and none of them were left. Many people trembled when they heard that Chen Ye's friendly team, they were very enthusiastic about the family team, and they ignored the barbarians.

In this way, the envoy had a great headache, and could only repeatedly tell him not to cause trouble, and to take care of himself. The messenger felt that he was the most unlucky person in the last few years, and how he could have done something that had been good in this way. The team that was originally slow, between the two regions, one wanted to send the team quickly, and the other region wanted to come slowly, and the team was getting slower and slower. The envoy had not let his khan wait at the border with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he did not arrive so slowly. If you go back, you will definitely be punished, the team really can't afford to spend it, and it is estimated that it will be withdrawn, leaving only a small part of the troops.

What Chen Ye wants is the effect, if the barbarian army of 200,000 does not withdraw, Chen Ye will not be able to play with any flowers. If most of them are withdrawn, ten thousand people will be left behind, so that Chen Ye's plan can be implemented well.

The envoy has no temper for a while, he has no temper when he is cleaned up by Chen Ye, the barbarians are not very easy to manage, and those who are disobedient will be severely beaten by the soldiers, anyway, the soldiers have Chen Ye's support, as long as they dare to resist with a knife, they will be killed. Originally, the huge team led by the envoy became less and less frequent, and the barbarian envoy did not dare to say anything, so he could only say cruel words.

The originally fertile Central Plains became more and more desolate the more you went to the back, dilapidated houses could be seen everywhere, and those hungry people could be seen everywhere, but they didn't see it along the way, and Chen Ye knew that all these people had been taken to other places. Chen Ye's living Hell King is afraid when he sees it, and who dares to let Chen Ye know about this situation.

There are fewer and fewer households, and the speed of the team is unconsciously accelerating, and they must dare to rush to the next town before the supplies are exhausted. The further you go to the grasslands, the longer the distances between the towns become, the fewer and fewer the trees, either bare mountains or wastelands. On the way here, Chen Ye could still receive information from the capital one after another, and the further he went to the grassland, the more he could barely catch up with the collection of intelligence. I finally knew why there were all kinds of situations on the frontier, because the information was not timely, and it was too late for the imperial court to find out about the problem.

Chen Ye's heart couldn't calm down, and the last few pieces of intelligence showed that the Cui family and the Yan family in the capital were ready to move, especially in the Jiangnan region, where the family had begun to recruit troops on a large scale. The crown prince and the second prince both began to move, and Chen Ye's house basically had strangers stepping on the spot every day, or assassins would come to assassinate him.

The business of the Chamber of Commerce began to be boycotted intentionally or unintentionally, and the business did not have much impact, just like a high-speed kilometer. The speed is not so fast, and there is no jam, but the number of vehicles increases, and the speed of the vehicle slowly decreases. Chen Ye could only let them prepare for the worst.

In the blink of an eye, he has been on the road for more than a month, and the envoy has been relatively honest in this month, and Chen Ye feels a little unsteady in his heart. Princess Pingyang now basically calls Chen Ye into the carriage to do a while and chat. After chatting for so many days, Princess Pingyang also has a more in-depth understanding of Chen Ye and understands that it is not easy for Chen Ye. When Chen Ye was fine, he picked up the books, these books were all things to marry, and when he had nothing to do, Chen Ye took them out and read them. The speed of travel is indeed slow, and Chen Ye is riding a horse while reading.

In a dozen days, we will be on the border, and now there are no villages in sight all around, and there are already mountains and hills. If you go further, you should be in the last town, and when you leave the town, you will reach the grassland, and Chen Ye began to be a little nervous. The emissary's expression was getting more and more excited, especially today, when several barbarians formed a squad and went back early.

Chen Ye didn't think that the barbarian envoy was kind enough to go back to report the news in advance, but in fact, there was no need to report any news at all, after all, there were so many teams to send relatives. You don't need to ask, just ask. Chen Ye didn't have many intelligence personnel in the grassland, after all, the grassland was vast and sparsely populated, and there were only a handful of barbarians who were willing to negotiate peace with Zhongshan.

Not only did Chen Ye not have a good mood, but Princess Pingyang also kept losing her temper, after all, no one wanted to marry a forty-year-old khan as his wife. Princess Pingyang put everything she had in Chen Ye's hands. If Chen Ye really doesn't help himself, it's useless to regret himself, I heard that barbarians drink animal blood and eat animal meat raw, which is very rude and barbaric. I've been having nightmares for days, and every time I call Chen Ye over.

The envoy's face was very unsightly, and now he was still under Chen Ye's nose, and he dared not speak angrily. When Princess Pingyang saw Chen Ye, she directly hugged Chen Ye tightly and lay her head in Chen Ye's arms.

"You won't leave me alone," Princess Pingyang was still a little worried.

"Don't worry" Chen Ye didn't dare to say anything, who knows if there is a wall with ears, hearing Chen Ye's confirmed voice, Princess Pingyang slowly lay down on Chen Ye's lap and slowly fell asleep. Chen Ye did this all night, and when the messenger came to ask for peace the next day, he saw Princess Pingyang's messy hairstyle, and guessed in his heart what happened yesterday.

"Lord Chen, there is an important border town ahead, let's hurry over and take a good rest" The envoy's words are also right, after all, the family sending team has been gone for so long, it should take a good rest, and you can go directly to the border place. It stands to reason that Chen Ye wants the capital of the barbarians, and after the princess holds a wedding, he can only come back with the return gift of the khan.

After walking for five days, I finally arrived at Fengzhou, a major border town, the status of Fengzhou is relatively good, both sides are the peaks of Gaoluan, and Fengzhou is just in the middle of the two mountains. Fengzhou played the role of the gateway to the Central Plains, and as long as the city of Fengzhou was not broken, the barbarians could not attack it. This is where the legendary 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed.

When he walked in, Chen Ye found that the city wall was full of dark brown traces, this is the trace of blood, I don't know how many blood donations have been shed, how many lives have been sacrificed to have such an effect, the city wall is full of potholes, and scattered workers are reinforcing the city wall.

Yu Anping, the person in charge of Fengzhou City, has been stationed in Fengzhou City since he was young, and he has countless achievements. Not often in the capital, Yu Anping's reputation was very high in the imperial court, and he was always regarded as the best candidate for the imperial court to resist the barbarians. Chen Ye thought that Yu Anping would greet him at the gate of the city, but he did not greet him at the gate, and he was not allowed to let him go until he checked all his identities. Yu Anping was waiting for the princess to arrive within the city walls.

"Minister Yu Anping visits Her Royal Highness the Princess, the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose." Yu Anping knelt down to greet him.

When Yu Anping got up, he found that Yu Anping was not so young, only forty years old and his hair was all white, not like the appearance of a prime of life, and his walking posture was a little strange, which should have been disabled due to years of fighting.

Princess Pingyang was very obedient to Yu Anping's arrangement, and specially brought things to Yu Anping, which were personally rewarded by the emperor, which shows the importance of Yu Anping in the emperor's heart.

"The minister is grateful to Your Majesty, and I will definitely guard this city for Your Majesty, and I will not hesitate to break my bones." Yu Anping shed a few tears gratefully, his expression was very grateful, and he looked loyal to the country.

When Chen Ye walked inside, he found that the life of the people inside was not easy, all of them were skinny, there was no hope on their faces, and even there were some barbarians in the city, thinking of the importance of Fengzhou City, Chen Ye not only frowned, it seemed that he would let Jinyiwei check it at night.
