Chapter 70: So She's a Crow's Mouth?
Under the scorching sun, the brigade of men and horses was moving forward in the sand, Su Mian sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the endless white sand outside, and frowned shallowly.
"Want to get out and walk?" Gu Zhixing saw that she kept looking out, and she felt that she was suffocating in the carriage.
Su Mian shook his head, lowered the curtain, and walked through here for another three days, and then arrived at the border, I don't know what kind of preparations Su Rou made and how many people he brought......
The closer she got to the border, the more panicked Su Mian became.
On the other side, Su Rou's men and horses did arrive at the border ahead of schedule.
In the tent, she was dressed in a light pink group, her hair was tied in a bun at random, the pair of big eyes on her small face looked innocent and innocent, and her small mouth was tightly pursed, looking like a simple girl, as if she had something on her mind.
If you ignore the map she has in her hand.
"Report! Eldest princess, the people and horses of the Western Sage passed through Baisha Pass today, and they should arrive at the border of the Western Sage in three days, but do you have to make some preparations in advance? Someone kneeling there outside the door asked loudly.
"Absolutely." Su Rou nodded, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked: "Since we have seized the opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity not to do something?" Bring General Xu here. ā
"Yes!" The man outside the door responded, and it wasn't long before a man in armor walked in.
"Eldest princess, what plans do you have to discuss?" General Yu asked.
"Of course, there is." Su Rou smiled and threw the map in her hand to him.
"I want you to take someone, go to ...... Over here. She gestured to the fenced off spot on the map.
The man's expression was a little puzzled, and he asked puzzledly, "Why here?" How many people do you want to bring? Su Rou explained lightly: "Because of the wide terrain here, you took two lieutenants and the whole army to ambush here, and before they reached the border, you would take them by surprise first." ā
"I've observed, the terrain here is easy to hide, you can ambush the men and horses around." Su Rou's tone was flat, with a vague smile, as if she was talking about where she was going to go for a while, rather than leading troops to fight.
General Xu didn't speak, stared at the map in his hand for a while, and then nodded in response, Su Rou was right, the place she circled out was indeed able to hide, and the other party was caught off guard.
He just didn't expect that Su Rou, a princess raised in the deep palace, would have such a strategy.
The emperor disappeared inexplicably, the third princess was deeply trapped in the West Sage, and the sixth highness was ......
I thought that there would be chaos in the palace, but I didn't expect Su Rou to stand up at this time and stabilize the entire situation by herself.
"By the way, I almost forgot the most important thing, this raid, it would be better if I could bring Su Mian back." Su Rou said suddenly.
Xu Jiangjun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly agreed: "Please rest assured, the eldest princess, my subordinates will do their best to bring the third princess back safely." ā
"Well, be careful, remember, but don't let my dear sister ...... A little wounded. ā
Seeing General Xu leave the camp, Su Rou slowly sat down at the table, although her face was smiling, her eyes were extremely cold.
Su Mian......
Thinking of Su Mian's name in her heart, Su Rou's eyes flickered for a moment, according to normal time, Su Mian should have recovered her memory a long time ago and ran back to Beiyuan.
But I don't know why, this time she didn't come back, but stayed in Xisheng and followed Gu Zhixing's side.
Her poison must have been made......
Originally, he wanted to wait for her to come back, and then imprison her, find out all her strange secret recipes, and then finish off the person, but now it seems that he can only arrest the person and interrogate her properly.
Maybe there's something else you can know about the West Sage......
ā¦ā¦
At dusk, Xisheng's brigade finally walked out of Baisha Pass.
Su Mian stayed in the carriage all day, and when she saw that she came out of the sea of sand, she couldn't sit still and wanted to come out and ride the horse for a while.
Gu Zhixing very consciously gave up the gale to her, and then led a military horse at will.
The sunset at dusk turned the wide ground in front of me golden, Su Mian looked ahead, only to feel more and more empty and desolate.
"Three days further on the border, it's desolate, but it's not a barren place, it's much better than here." Gu Zhixing rode his horse beside Su Mian and explained.
Su Mian nodded, looking vaguely worried.
I don't know why, since I entered Baisha Pass, I feel uneasy...... It always felt as if something was going to happen......
opened her mouth, Su Mian wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back.
What can be said?
You can't tell Gu Zhixing that I have an ominous premonition, right?
It's like a neuropathy......
"Mian?" Gu Zhixing looked at the person sitting on the horse in front of him and began to be in a daze inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" Why don't you go back to the carriage and sit down? ā
"Huh? I'm fine......" Su Mianmeng came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice: "I just feel a little flustered......"
"Panic? Why? Nervous? Gu Zhixing looked at her with some doting.
"It's not." Su Mian shook her head: "It's just that the more you go forward, the more uneasy I feel, although Su Rou is my sister, but I don't seem to know her at all, and I don't know what he wants to do this time, if you can guess it, it would be good......"
"Relax, no matter what she wants to do, I won't let him hurt you in the slightest." Gu Zhixing's tone was firm.
Su Mian sighed and suddenly thought of something.
"The army of the Northern Yuan should arrive two days earlier than us, will they take the opportunity to ......" Her expression was a little hesitant, and she did not finish the rest of the words.
"You're saying they might take advantage of the raid?" Gu Zhixing asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Su Mian nodded solemnly.
Speaking from her heart, although she wanted to have a good talk with Su Rou face-to-face, just like Gu Zhixing said, she might not be willing to give herself this opportunity.
If you want to talk about it, I'm afraid you really have to fight a real battle before you can see Su Rou.
Seeing the worry on her face, Gu Zhixing smiled, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and then said nonchalantly: "If she really has the courage to send someone to raid, just let the horse come." ā
His tone was arrogant, obviously he didn't take Su Rou in his eyes, and he did have arrogant capital.
Su Mian's eyes flickered for a moment, and her mood was a little complicated.
Late at night, the army set up camp on the way as usual, and with the first dedication, the person in charge of setting up the camp tent finally knew to separate Gu Zhixing and Su Mian's camp.
It can be said that they are separated, but they are firmly arranged together.
Su Mian wrapped herself in the quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, and she didn't know why, she was even more panicked than she felt during the day.
Gu Zhixing was next door, and listening to the constant small movements of Xi Suosuo from her side, she knew that she would definitely not be able to sleep again.
Smiling a little helplessly, he got up and put on his coat, walked out of the tent, and stood in front of Su Mian's tent.
"Mian, but you can't sleep again?" Gu Zhixing said in a low voice.
The small movement in Su Mian's tent suddenly stopped, and it became extremely quiet in an instant.
Gu Zhixing had a smile in his eyes, and he simply turned around and lifted the curtain at the door and walked in.
Su Mian's whole person was wrapped in the quilt, only looking at him with a pair of big eyes, and he only felt very cute in Gu Zhixing's eyes.
"What are you doing here?" She asked angrily.
"Naturally, I listened to you tossing and turning here, and I was a little relieved." Gu Zhixing said as he sat down on the edge of the mattress.
"IāI can sleep, you can go back......" Su Mian subconsciously wanted him to leave.
The corners of Gu Zhixing's lips were slightly hooked, and he just wanted to speak, but his brows suddenly twisted violently.
Su Mian saw him sitting there and didn't speak, so he couldn't help but say again: "Hey, I said I don't need to ......"
"Shhhh Gu Zhixing's expression was a little serious, and he interrupted Su Mian's words.
Su Mian was slightly stunned, and when she saw that his expression was different, she hurriedly closed her mouth.
There was silence in the battalion commander, and for a moment, Gu Zhixing suddenly smiled and stood up, Su Mian just wanted to ask what was wrong, when he heard that the nearby team of people who were resting seemed to all move.
Lu Zhe and Zhang Ziqing's voices also kept coming, and they seemed to be gathering people.
"What the hell is ......" Su Mian couldn't help but ask, but halfway through his words, he heard a rhythmic sound of horses' hooves rolling towards him.
The ears of those who practice martial arts are extremely good, and Gu Zhixing, Lu Zhe and the others have naturally heard the sound of horses' hooves a long time ago.
Su Mian's brain was a little blank, and he reacted for a while before he hurriedly stood up and put on his coat.
So suddenly, a large group of people came, and I want to know who sent it if the person who came was not good.
Su Mian walked out behind Gu Zhixing with some nervousness, and was surprised to find that in just a moment's effort, all the people and horses had almost been assembled.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance became more and more advanced, and in the darkness, Su Mian only saw a large number of figures in front of him, no, from all directions, oppressed like a tide.
The military flag raised high in the light of the fire looked particularly blinking, it was the banner of the Northern Yuan.
Gu Zhixing stood at the front of the crowd, his eyes swept around, and there was a slight coldness in his eyes.
Su Mian stood behind him, and his brain was a little blank for a while.
Wipe! What kind of crow's beak am I? No wonder I have been feeling flustered from yesterday to today, it turns out that Su Rou really sent someone over to carry out a surprise attack?
