Chapter 303: Mandarin Duck Troop Talisman in His Sleeve
Contrary to what outsiders think, Princess Sanssouci has actually been troubled lately. Even she didn't know why she had lost patience with anything. Even my favorite sword hadn't been touched in days. And the origin of this emotional change, the people around her saw it very clearly, and it should have started after hearing the news that Chu Jiangmian was coming to Los Angeles.
Although everyone knew about this matter, no one dared to show it publicly. Everyone knows that although Princess Sanssouci treats everyone around her very well on weekdays, she never loses her temper easily, let alone gets angry with others casually. But once it touches the part of her heart that can't be mentioned, she will change color and turn her face at any time!
And this forbidden area is everything about Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian. In fact, sometimes even the henchmen and maids feel a little strange, obviously the princess loves that King Zhao, but why can't she talk about it openly in front of her?
A girl's mind is always the most difficult to guess. What's more, it's someone like Princess Sanssouci? If when she was in Qi Kingdom, she was just a carefree, simple and happy aristocratic girl, then after five years of tempering, her soft face suddenly became resolute, and everyone would bow their heads happily and convincingly, and with a feeling of admiration, they were willing to die for it!
The Qi army, which has more than 10,000 people, has almost completely become a private army of the princess. The distant kingdom of Qi also seems to have become less important. And only this princess, who brought them great respect and glory, is the master to whom they are truly loyal.
The mandarin duck embroidered in the soldier-saving talisman, the peach blossom horse gave the order! As long as the princess's figure appears everywhere, it will arouse a fanatical follower. Perhaps, in the eyes of these Qi soldiers and many Zhongzhou people, the carefree princess who is both civil and military is the most perfect woman in the world.
It's just that the princess in the limelight doesn't seem to be happy. Especially in the past two years, the place has gradually calmed down, and there are few wars. When she rode her bored horse to Zhongyue Mountain, those who followed closely could feel the wordless loneliness from that back.
"It's been five years...... You haven't been to see it once in five years. If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken over this stall to take care of these messy things for you. I'm lonely here, you're fine...... Hum! Have fun over there with others!"
The carefree princess, who suddenly had such a thought in her heart, was immediately in the mountains and valleys at this moment. Looking at the peach blossoms in the valley in front of her, although the spring is good, it has nothing to do with her. For a moment, I felt bitter and indescribable, but such a beautiful scenery was a little dazzling.
The person who was being nagged in the distance naturally couldn't hear the princess biting her lip complaining. Even she knew that this was just asking for trouble, but she still couldn't help it. The valley in front of you is called Peach Blossom Valley by the locals. In the past two years, she has been here countless times. And the reason why she came here when she was in a bad mood was not because she liked to see these peach blossoms all over the mountains, but simply because the man named Chu Jiangmian had lived in this peach blossom valley for a while.
When she first arrived here, Princess Sanssouci really wanted to live in this valley very much. However, she later changed her mind. In the peach blossoms all over the mountains, he has long lost his trace, and even the breath he left behind is gone. The only memory left here is the legend about King Zhao and the pair of sisters and brothers.
In those stories circulated by the locals, Murong Licheng, the general of Zhao Guohuben, who has become famous all over the world, met King Zhao here. And that's just that, there's nothing for Princess Sanssouci yet. What she cares about is Murong Qiancheng! The beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city may be the only person in her heart who feels inferior.
In the depths of the peach blossoms, the falling flowers are colorful. Whenever I think of Chu Jiangmian and Murong Qiancheng, they once knew each other in such a scene, and experienced life and death together. Princess Sanssouci felt some subtle emotions growing in her heart. The haughty princess had never tasted this way before. But now that she has realized it, it should be the envy and jealousy that mortals in the world say, right?!
She can rely on her talent and hard work to do her best, so that the eyes of the far north can always look south. But even if it's a hand-holding talisman and not letting the eyebrows go, so what? She's still afraid that she'll lose to her! Because, in this world, Murong Qiancheng finally met Chu Jiangmian one step earlier than Tian Wuwu!
Perhaps, one is a dream of gains and losses, and the other is a dispensable person. After all, this arrow that crosses mountains and rivers pierces the heart that causes illness with emotion!
The breeze blew and blinded her. Some faint tears were quietly wiped away. Whether this is the case or not, for a girl in a sensitive period, this is what she thinks. knew that she shouldn't have this kind of emotion, but she couldn't help it. Especially not long ago, after hearing the news that the blue bird secretly revealed to her, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
On the hillside not far away, the blue bird, who had grown into an important figure in the Qianji Pavilion of Zhao Guo, was lying on a rock lazily basking in the sun. He is no longer the hot-blooded boy who entered the Thousand Machines Pavilion for the first time. The eyes that are accustomed to life and death also add some deep colors. Today, with the expansion of the Zhao Kingdom, the power of the Thousand Machine Pavilion has grown unprecedentedly. Not to mention the secret lurkers scattered all over the world, just in the territory of Zhongzhou, the number of spies under his personal command has reached several hundred. This is undoubtedly a sharp sword and a strong shield. With such a force in his hands, the blue bird can guarantee that he can complete the task assigned by King Zhao without mistakes.
And the task assigned to them by King Zhao is actually very simple. It is to do all your best to protect the personal safety of Princess Sanssouci. Maybe only in the hearts of these Qianji Pavilion spies did they know how much this woman who liked to ride horses and gallop was valued by King Zhao. It is precisely for this reason that the gains and losses of Her Royal Highness the Princess in recent times seem to be a little ridiculous in the eyes of the blue bird.
However, he naturally does not show it casually. Bluebird understands his responsibilities very well and knows how to measure himself. Although the vicinity of Zhongzhou is becoming more and more controlled, it has become more and more prosperous day by day. But he didn't dare to relax at all. The whole world is still turbulent, and the princess of Sanssouci in this important position, her safety cannot be compromised in the slightest.
The caution of the blue bird is certainly not unreasonable, and the enemies hiding in the darkness are everywhere. Not to mention the secret strangulation in the past few years, it was just on the way to Zhongyue Mountain, the assassin who heard the wind was hiding in the long grass, trying to wait for an opportunity to act. However, they were soon discovered by the vigilant Thousand Machine Pavilion spies. After a silent battle, the Assassins were all slaughtered on the other side of the hill. And Princess Sanssouci and the people around her didn't notice it in the slightest.
That's what Bluebird does. In fact, this kind of thing has long been commonplace. For him, as long as his gaze does not leave the ten zhang distance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof. The most favorite disciple of the Thousand Machines Pavilion Liezi Yufeng has this absolute self-confidence!
The bluebird saw that the princess began to ride her horse and go hunting. Although he didn't wear that eye-catching armor. But when a red cloak gallops in the wind, even from such a distance, it still makes people feel heroic and irreplaceable.
"Perhaps, only such a woman in the world can be worthy of King Zhao, right?"
This is the thought that came to the mind of the Blue Bird and all the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies in admiration. Then they saw three arrows in the princess's hand, and none of them missed. In the long grass, the running beast was unlucky enough to die.
Seeing a rare smile on the princess's face, the attendants who followed cheered loudly. Some of them had already ridden away, and the horse leaned down to pick up the prey, and held it high above his head, to proclaim the princess's ability to arch.
More than 100 cavalry were scattered everywhere, and they drove the frightened birds and beasts of all sizes, and surrounded them from all sides to the middle. As Princess Sanssouci galloped on her horse, the arrows were not missing, and each arrow whistled out, and almost a beast fell to the ground. This kind of real kung fu must not be false at all. Even the bravest soldiers can't help but be convinced.
At the foot of the mountain, this hunting ground is large, with complex terrain and dense forests. However, under the strict vigilance of the soldiers around, safety is naturally not a problem.
However, there are no absolutes in this world. Who would have thought that danger would suddenly appear in the next moment! In the cheers, Princess Sanssouci circled back her horse, and as far as her eyes could see, she saw a horned deer running out of the steep slope in a panic, and she took a bow and arrow while hitting the horse and rushed forward, and to see that the distance was near, an arrow flew out and hit the neck of the deer. In my heart, I suddenly heard the roar of a tiger shaking the mountains, and the wind and grass were blowing, and a colorful tiger the size of a calf appeared on the rocks of the middle slope.
A few feet away, Princess Sanssouci's horse was frightened, neighed loudly, raised her front hooves to escape, and she hurriedly tightened the reins to prevent falling off the horse. Seeing that the princess was in danger, the soldiers in the distance were shocked. The tiger looked like a fierce descending tiger, and it must have been hungry. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they pulled out their knives together and rushed desperately to this side.
However, the hungry tiger who found its prey couldn't wait. After another heart-wrenching tiger roar, it leapt down from the rock, opening its bloody jaws, its sharp claws just a few inches from the top of Princess Sanssouci's head!
