Chapter 013: Find out
Zhao Kuo and Yan Ning sat down next to the tree on the side of the road to rest after hearing this, although they walked for several days in a row, but the speed of walking was not too fast, so the state of both of them was fine.
"I don't know what Sister Ying'er is doing now, is she going hunting again?" Yan Ning suddenly said such a sentence.
At this moment, the leader of the caravan came to them, handed Zhao Kuo two pots of water, and said, "I see that the water you brought is almost finished, right?" I'll send you two pots."
"Boss Wu, thank you so much" The team leader Zhao Kuo had talked to him a few times before, knowing that his surname was Wu, and his name was unknown, the people in the caravan called him Boss Wu, burly, with a full face and beard, he was very bold, and he built a dart bureau with dozens of people in Yanyun City, and was usually responsible for the safety of the caravan on the route from Yinhao County to Yanyun City.
"Everyone is from Zhao Guo, what's polite?"
"Boss Wu, did you think it could be that the bandits who occupy the mountains in the vicinity are robbing the caravan passing here? Here Zhao and Qi are at the junction, otherwise it wouldn't be Zhao and Qi at war, right? "Idle is also idle, Zhao Kuo asked Boss Wu casually.
"It's not like a war, the relationship between Zhao and Qi is not bad, there has been no war for many years, nine times out of ten are the bandits nearby who have come out to rob again, his grandmother's, Qi has frequently suppressed bandits in recent years, and now the bandits and bandits in Qi are almost extinct, when will our Zhao State also come to crack down on bandits, and clean up these beasts who occupy the mountains as kings and block the road and rob all the bad things."
Zhao Kuo listened to Boss Wu scolding and scolding, and smiled, this bandit bully has existed in any country since ancient times, and it is basically impossible to eradicate them all, thinking so in his heart, he still asked: "Boss Wu, is the Qi country so powerful?" Wipe out all the bandits and bandits in their territory? ”
"Cough, his grandmother is a leg, in terms of national strength, Qi is not as good as our Zhao country, Qi is so peaceful in the country now, it's not because of the credit of the emperor's sister of Qi State!"
"The sister of the Emperor of Qi?"
Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't seem to have heard of it, Boss Wu continued to Zhao Kuo: "It seems that your kid doesn't know anything about Qi Kingdom, and you haven't even heard of the eldest princess of Qi Kingdom?" Then I'll talk to you about it today, so that you can gain knowledge. ”
Zhao Kuo smiled at Boss Wu, and Boss Wu continued: "The eldest princess of the Qi country, that is the existence of thieves and bandits who are frightened, heroine-like existence, women who don't let Xu Mei say should be a person like her, she is twenty years old, she is not married, she is a woman who is not defeated by a man in martial arts and strategy, and she is a woman who does not lose to a man in a war with soldiersIn the past two years, the bandits and bandits in Qi have been wiped out by her troops, and the rest have fled out of Qi and fled to other countries. I rarely admire anyone, and this eldest princess of Qi is the first woman I admire.
Zhao Kuo and Yan Ning listened to Boss Wu praising the eldest princess of Qi with full attention, and Yan Ning said to herself with a look of admiration: "I have heard of this eldest princess of Qi before, and at that time I still thought that as a daughter, I should still be knowledgeable and reasonable, and it would be better to teach my husband and children, but now I think that if I can also go to the battlefield to lead the army to kill the enemy like the eldest princess of Qi country, maybe I don't have to leave my homeland today and go to Zhao Capital." ”
Yan Ning has always been concerned about Yan Guo, for her own country, sacrificed herself, left her familiar homeland, and embarked on the road to Zhao State, maybe she will get married and have children in Zhao Country in the future, but in this life, every time she thinks of Yan Ning, a young girl, who sacrificed so much for her country, Zhao Kuo feels very sorry for her in her heart.
There were also female generals who fought on the battlefield in ancient times in their previous lives, such as Hua Mulan, who served in the army for her father, and Mu Guiying, who did not let her eyebrows, but there are very few heroines like this. Zhao Kuo guessed that it should be the same in this world, which is why the reputation of this eldest princess of Qi is so prominent.
"You don't have to envy her, you think, although she knows martial arts and can lead soldiers to fight, but do you think, what would a woman who has been leading soldiers to fight outside all year round be like? Then she must not be good-looking, she is not like a man, and it is impossible to say whether she will marry or not in the future, and you are different, although you don't know martial arts, and you can't go to the battlefield to lead the army to kill the enemy, but you are good-looking, gentle and virtuous, dignified and decent, right? ”
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Yan Ning snorted and laughed, it seems that no matter where the women are, as long as they praise them vigorously, they will be right.
After hearing this, Boss Wu also smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "You kid, you still know too little, not to mention the people of Qi, even our people of Zhao who have been running around in Yinhao County all the year round know that the appearance of the eldest princess of Qi can be called a beauty, if the beauty is not exaggerated, I will tell you kid, as for what you said that you can't get married, it is even more impossible, you kid don't know how many royal relatives in various countries want to marry her, let alone those rich children." ”
"So, Boss Wu, have you seen this eldest princess of Qi before?"
"See, I haven't seen it, how can I have that blessing, but I often hear about the heroic deeds of the eldest princess, and there is a saying in the world, do you know? It's called: There are many princesses in the world, only Chu Qiyan is among the best, heroic Qi Guoxuan, graceful Chu Mengdie, and... Behind it is... What did Princess Yan say? Boss Wu patted his head after thinking about it, "Cough, look at my stupid head, forget about the back, anyway, it means that the three princesses of Qi, Chu and Yan are the best-looking."
Zhao Kuo smiled and didn't speak again, can the rumors be believed? Anyway, Zhao Kuo didn't believe it, but when he said Yan Guo later, Zhao Kuo looked at Yan Ning beside him again, as if the rumors were not all fake, at least Yan Ning's appearance and temperament were definitely leveraged.
At this time, the people who went to the front to investigate came back, it turned out that a group of bandits not far from the front were chasing and killing a few people, and the people who came back said that they saw that the few people who were chased and killed were agile one by one, but they didn't look like a caravan in the past, and they didn't know which country they were, how could they be targeted by the bandits around here.
After Zhao Kuo heard this, he was shocked, and the first thing that came to mind was whether the person who was hunted down and killed would be Lian Feng Li Xuan and them? Or is it General Wu and others?
After hearing this, Boss Wu called everyone to continue on his way, he was not interested in who the person being chased and killed was, as long as the nearby bandits did not fight the idea of the caravan he escorted, he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the bandits.
The caravan set off again, and the more Zhao Kuo thought about it, the more he felt that he had to find out, and he couldn't figure it out, so he said to Yan Ning: "You follow Boss Wu and they go first, and I'll go see who the person who was chased and killed by the bandits is."
"Do you want to find out if those people are General Lian Feng?" Yan Ning asked Zhao Kuodao.
didn't expect Yan Ning to think of it, which made Zhao Kuo feel even more about figuring it out. "You follow Boss Wu first, I will catch up with you as soon as possible, if I haven't caught up with you after you arrive in Yanyun City, then you can find an inn in Yanyun City and wait for me for a few days, if you wait for me for a few days, you haven't waited for me, then..."
"Then I'll go to Zhaodu by myself, won't I?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Yan Ning, and then nodded to her.
"Actually, I don't want you to go, after all, you don't even know martial arts, and it's dangerous to go, but I also know that you're determined to find out, and it's useless to say more, I just hope you can pay attention to safety, I... I'll wait for you to come back."
Zhao Kuo nodded to Yan Ning again, it is not the first time that Zhao Kuo has experienced Yan Ning's empathy, such a good girl, but she must arrive at Yanyun City safely, and arrive at Zhao Capital safely, Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.
Subsequently, Zhao Kuo ran to Boss Wu and told him to leave, but he didn't say what to do, just told Boss Wu that he had something left in Yinyao County, and asked Boss Wu to help take care of Yan Ning and take her to Yanyun City safely. After Zhao Kuo borrowed a set of bows and arrows from Boss Wu, he went into the mountains and forests and ran after the shouts of killing.
Zhao Kuo ran all the way in the mountains and forests, carrying an arrow on his back, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, praying in his heart that if it was Lian Feng Li Xuan and others, nothing would happen, although Zhao Kuo knew that he didn't know martial arts and couldn't help much, but one more person would have more strength, Zhao Kuo couldn't beat the bandits, you can tell them the conditions, why should people be bandits? Isn't it for the money? Zhao Kuo could promise them to go to Yanyun City to follow them in gold, silver and jewelry. If not, Zhao Kuo thought that he still had a bow and arrow in his hand, no matter what, Zhou Ying had also taught himself a bow and arrow for several days, although he had only learned some fur, but now he can at least pull out the bow and shoot the arrow!!
After a while, Zhao Kuo finally saw the figure, and it turned out that the people who were being chased had been caught up by this group of bandits, and they were surrounded by the bandits in the middle at this time. After Zhao Kuo approached them gently, he hid in a bush not far from them, took a closer look at the crowd, and found that none of the people who were surrounded knew him, and after confirming that it was not Lian Feng Li Xuan and others, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, sighed lightly, turned around and prepared to leave. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Zhao Kuo turned back again, staring closely at one of the several people who were surrounded by bandits, and then found that this was not the woman who helped them beat away Taishou's son in Yinhao County before, and then competed with Zhou Ying, and was defeated by Zhou Ying? At this time, she was still dressed as a man, but she was chased by these thieves for a long time, and she looked a little embarrassed. Zhao Kuo squatted down again, quietly looking ahead, thinking that someone had saved him and Yan Ning once before, and he would see if there was a chance, if he could save her once, and he would treat it as a favor.
