Chapter 254: Long Time No See
As he was talking, the footsteps of the jailer outside came slowly, and Long Mo'er knew that the time was almost up, so he hurried up and said to Tang Wang.
"Father, don't worry, my daughter remembers, I'll tell you if there's any progress."
"Stay safe."
Almost as soon as the words fell, the jailer's voice sounded: "It's time, it's time to go, if you don't leave, someone will come, and I won't be happy to be found out when the time comes."
The people who are locked up here are basically heavy sentences, and the possibility of restoring them to their original positions is small, which is equivalent to the sun hitting the west and coming out, so it is very strict, but there are always some private activities, after all, it is dark under the lights.
Tightened the jade pendant in his hand and quietly put it back into his sleeve, Lord Chengping nodded firmly, pulled down the hood of his cloak, and then walked out.
Imperial Garden, Yunxiu has been waiting for a long time, the county lord has not come over yet, anxiously turning in circles, the county lord obviously said that he was going to find something, why hasn't he come back for so long? The princess is about to come out.
"Yunxiu, where is Mo'er? Why is it no longer here? The familiar voice behind him sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making Yunxiu's face crack, so she quickly adjusted her expression, turned around and saluted, and tried to keep her voice steady.
"Princess, county lord......"
"Mother, I just dropped an earring on the edge of the lake, and I went over to pick it up, no, the lake is too big, I looked for a long time, and then I came over."
The person who appeared behind in time rescued Yunxiu, and also made Yunxiu secretly relieved, the lord of Chengping, who was wearing a golden butterfly and a flower cloud satin skirt, was noble, and his face was also full of smiles.
Princess Tang's face was a little reproachful: "You can't do this next time, you can't walk around in this palace, let's go back now, Your Majesty said, Qi'er just arrived in the border city, safe and sound, I will be relieved."
Lord Chengping hurriedly supported Princess Tang, and in the corner that Princess Tang didn't pay attention to, her face suddenly darkened, and she quickly returned to normal.
"Mother, don't worry, side by side with the king to escort, there will be no problem, let's go back first, this weather is too hot."
The mother and daughter spoke, and the farther and farther they went, Yunxiu got up and hurriedly followed.
Early in the morning, Yan Wushuang got up naturally, dressed in the palace dress of the royal prince and princess, combed with a peony bun, with two phoenix hairpins inserted on it, pasted with golden flowers, red lips slightly pursed, graceful and luxurious, full of momentum.
Zhan Ge is dressed in a brocade suit of the same color, from the corner of the clothes upwards, a five-clawed golden dragon soars through the clouds, noble and domineering, jade crown and hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and when his face is expressionless, it makes people respectful.
When she came in, she put on ruby earrings, the colors were bright, but they showed her nobility even more, without conflict, and she was beautiful.
Zhan Ge's eyes were obviously amazed: "Madame is really beautiful and fragrant, and the moon is shy and shy of flowers."
Glancing at Zhan Ge, Yan Wushuang rolled his eyes helplessly: "I don't feel as deep as you, if it weren't for the solemn occasion I attended today, I would rather dress simply, just these, I feel that it is already very heavy."
"Okay, let's have breakfast first, the ink merchants are preparing, and then we'll set off, speaking of which, the barbarians haven't been there for a long time."
Zhan Ge thought that when he was in the last war, his life was in danger, if he didn't care about the people who loved him and didn't want to give up, he was afraid that he would really not be able to survive, and to this day, he still remembers it vividly and dare not forget it.
Yan Wushuang walked a few steps quickly, put his slender jade hand on Zhan Ge's arm, and looked at him solemnly: "Go today, you must be careful, although Dayi is important, but your safety is also very important."
"You accompany me, even if I want to do something, I have to worry about your safety, don't worry, I won't act impulsively." If you lead it alone, Zhan Ge will not be able to do it, and the courage of the husband will have no effect on the country.
It's just that there are words and words, so naturally I am more careful.
Looking at the grassland outside the carriage stretching out of nowhere, and there were faint traces of animals running by, Yan Wushuang felt very happy in his heart, Zhan Ge was used to seeing these, and kept looking at the letters from the capital in his hand, with a solemn expression.
Retracting his gaze from the window, Yan Wushuang looked at Zhan Ge's expression, with a little worry: "What's wrong?" Is something happening? ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I thought that King Tang's forces would be quiet after he was imprisoned, but now there is news that King Tang's forces seem to have moved, and they are coming to the north."
Putting away the letter and putting it in the secret compartment of the carriage, Zhan Ge poured a cup of flower tea and handed it to Yan Wushuang.
"It's just that even if they travel day and night, without sleep, when they come to the northern Xinjiang, this matter is almost over, and they will definitely not be able to catch up."
"Preparation still has to be done, there are not many people coming and going in northern Xinjiang, as long as people pay attention, there will always be horses' feet exposed."
After appeasing Zhan Ge, Yan Wushuang asked curiously: "The barbarians are a nation, but they are also a subject country of Dayi, haven't they established their own cities?" It feels like it's always been nomad. ”
"There used to be, in fact, there are still ruins of the national capital, but maybe because of nature, they don't like to be fixed in one place, and migrate with the change of seasons, in fact, if it weren't for the aging of today's leaders, the previous one is estimated to be even harder."
When the leader was young, he was also one of the best warriors, and he was also famous in Dayi, and he was a bus fighter with Wei many times, but the hero was old, like a beauty in the twilight, which always made people sigh.
Yan Wu's hands trembled slightly, and she quickly calmed down, the appearance of Zhan Ge before seemed to be still in front of her, she couldn't bear to recall, and she couldn't think of what would be worse yet?
In modern times, a friend said that she has a thin and cold nature, and the flower of her feelings will not open for a long time, and it is even more difficult to fall in love with someone.
For her, if the investment in a relationship means that she has to suffer a lot of hurt, she would rather never like it.
When treating Shen Weiyou, at this time of Zhan Ge, although he was invested, it was unforgettable, and the mountains and seas that he loved were all flat, but it was not enough.
It's just a state of unfulfilled love above feelings.
Therefore, she couldn't think of whether she would have experienced the feeling of being moved if something really happened to Zhan Ge at that time.
I guess not.
Placing the teacup in the recess on the table, Yan Wushuang changed the topic: "The son that the barbarian leader values the most is Mandu Latu, but he is the third prince, and Mu Qi is the eldest prince, what about the second prince?" Are there any other children? ”
"The second prince is born of slaves, so he is not valued in the barbarians, as for the other princes, there are naturally them, commoners, slaves and maids, and the most valuable identity is Mandu Latu."
If Zhan Ge draws all the information, he is afraid that a piece of paper will not be enough, and he is really too busy in the fifty years of the barbarian leader.
twitching the corners of his mouth, Yan Wushuang expressed his agreement in Zhan Ge's playful eyes: "That's true, busy enough." Don't they all say that there are very few barbarian women, can it still be like this? ”
"There are always special cases, and it's the same everywhere." There are many such people in the capital, and there is such a saying among the common people.
After a few more buckets of rice, they all wanted to add a concubine.
Outside the door, the ink merchant knocked on the car frame: "General, madam, it will be the place where the barbarians are stationed soon, shall we take a break or enter directly?"
"Let's go directly, presumably, the leader is also in a hurry." Zhan Ge and Yan Wu glanced at each other and made a decision.
"Yes, General."
The team advanced for a while, and the horse stopped in front of them, and then, the ink merchant lifted the curtain, and Zhan Ge got out of the carriage, and as for Yan Wushuang, he stayed quietly in the carriage and waited until he entered.
Zhan Ge smoothed out the unnecessary folds on his sleeves, and then looked up at the group of people who greeted him in front of him, and the one who was surrounded in the middle was the leader of the barbarian clan, although he was old, but he could see that he was still ambitious and had a thief's heart.
Chang Yang and Wang Zheng dismounted, followed closely after Zhan Ge, their expressions respectful, obviously all this was decided by Zhan Ge.
"Khan, long time no see, it seems that you are in good health." Zhan Ge bowed his hand slightly, but his waist was straight, without any intention of bending down, and his eyes seemed to be smiling, mysterious and unpredictable.
The barbarian leader's face was a little unsightly, but he adjusted his expression in a blink of an eye, put his left hand on his chest, and bowed his head slightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect that the former general of Zhengbei is now under one person and above ten thousand people in Dayi."
"Didn't the Khan already know about the last war? This king has not had time to be surprised, are you so honest? ”
Isn't it too late to say that?
Choked up, as soon as the barbarian leader raised his hand, there was a guard next to him: "Your Royal Highness the King side by side, please inside, the Khan has prepared a sumptuous meal to welcome your arrival."
Not far from the main tent, Zhan Ge and the Khan walked side by side, with Chang Yang and Wang Zheng behind them, followed by Mo Shang and the two Praetorian Guards, followed by several carriages.
Yan Wushuang slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage window, and glanced outside, the barrier built with a fence, the barbarian guards were guarding with long knives in their hands, indeed, compared to their tall and large people, the soldiers of Dayi did look thinner, but sometimes the size did not represent anything.
"The third prince of your country is now a guest in the capital, if the Khan misses him, he can let people go to the capital to see him." Zhan Ge seemed to look around casually, but he wrote down the barbarians' military defense.
He was familiar with the way the barbarian leaders were arranged, and no matter how much they changed, they would never deviate from their sect.
Khan's face was a little unsightly, and he was blocked by his beard, but he couldn't see it: "So, does the King of the Side doesn't want my son to come back?"
