A few months ago, the Ming Emperor sent Shi Li Qi as an envoy to the Xian Kingdom. Li Fangyuan, the king of Xian, immediately sent the daughter of the king of Huai'an (the king's fourth brother) to enter the capital.

King Li Fangyuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent people to Jeju Island! Because the place where the king's fourth brother, the king of Huai'an, Li Fanggan, was exiled was Jeju Island; The virtuous lord is Li Fanggan's daughter.

After Li Fangyuan received the person, he immediately sent an envoy to escort the virtuous lord and embarked on a distant road to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After they entered the Liaodong region, they were escorted by the Liaodong Commander of the Ming Dynasty; Most of the Xian troops returned to China, leaving only envoys and retinues. However, the military general Park Jingwu still stayed by the side of Lord Weng.

At the beginning of July, a procession of hundreds of people had crossed the Shanhai Pass and entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army of Liaodong returned to the capital, and the Korean envoys were escorted by the people of the Beiping Political Envoy Division, and the number was much smaller, and there were only about 100 people left; Probably because they have entered the Great Wall.

The virtuous lord, who sat in a carriage and barely showed his face, heard the sound of talking outside more and more frequently these days. She could roughly understand Chinese, and from time to time she heard the conversations of the soldiers of the Ming army's guards, and knew that their mood was becoming more and more relaxed.

(The official written text of the Xian Kingdom is Han, in addition to this, there is also a "official reading" script, which uses Chinese characters and symbols to mark grammar; However, historical books and official documents are written in Chinese characters. Anyone who is an official and has a noble status rarely knows how to write Chinese characters. Lord Weng is no exception, compared to listening to Han people, she will be more proficient in reading written Chinese. ）

Liaodong only commanded the envoys and guards, and all the prefectures and counties were abolished during the Hongwu period. Although the Ming army sent troops to pacify Liaodong many times, it was still not as peaceful as the interior, and it was possible to encounter scattered tribes and bandits.

Now, as soon as the team entered Shanhaiguan, the trip immediately became safe and calm. On the first line of the Great Wall, there are guards and forts of the Ming army, and people outside the pass do not have a letter to guide them, so it is difficult to enter the Great Wall.

So people are in the mood to gossip. Compared with the nervous vigilance outside the customs, the atmosphere has changed considerably.

The virtuous lord was only a teenager, but she was a very tough woman; Thousands of miles all the way, the journey is tiring and inconvenient, but she hasn't complained until now!

She has been very beautiful since she was a child, and it is difficult to find a woman like her appearance in the whole of Korea; And the personality is also very good. So not only the Park Kyung-woo outside the carriage admired her from childhood to adulthood; Even the son of Li Fangyuan, the king of Xianguo, likes her...... The customs of the Xian Kingdom are different, and brothers and sisters of the same race and surname also get married, and there are even royal brothers and sisters who have married before......

At this moment, the team stopped one after another.

Lord Weng then looked at the curtain and asked in Chao Xian, "General Park, why did we stop?" ”

Her voice was not loud, but she knew that Park Kyung-moo had been beside the carriage all along. Sure enough, Park Jingwu's voice said: "Back to Lord Weng, this place is mountainous, the roads are undulating, and everyone is tired. Li Qi, the imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty, ordered to rest for two moments before hurrying. ”

The owner opened the curtain and showed his face. Under the black hair with big sideburns, there is a round beautiful face, smooth and delicate skin with the immaturity of a girl, a smooth forehead, a pair of bright eyes with a beautiful smile, with a faint shyness, nose, chin are small, looking very delicate. As long as she laughs, there will be slight dimples on her cheeks.

The stocky and swarthy young military general Park Jingwu outside was stunned for a moment, he had dismounted and stood next to his mount, and then quickly lowered his head and bent down with a touched face.

Usually the owner of the Weng does not show up, but at this time he talked to Park Jingwu and opened the curtain. Park Kyung-woo's honor and emotion were written on his face.

Lord Weng asked softly, "Where have we been?" How far is it from the capital of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Pu Jingwu bowed down and said: "It is still far, far away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, maybe more than two thousand miles. However, it is not far from the political envoy of Beiping, which is also a big city in the Ming Dynasty; When Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty was in power, he heard that he wanted to move the capital to Beiping. ”

He said in detail, "If we go further west, we will be able to reach Lulong County, Yongping Prefecture, and then Kaiping City; After Kaiping City, the next stop is Beiping City. ”

Lord Weng said softly: "General Park is really well-informed. I only know Beiping, and Lulong, the envoy of the Tang Lulong Festival written in the book is in today's Lulong County? ”

Park Jingwu hurriedly bowed and said: "Lord Weng clearly sees that this is the place. ”

"There are so many famous places." Weng Zhu said.

She pondered for a while, and then whispered, "General Park has always protected me and is sincere. Now I can only follow my father's order to go thousands of miles to the palace of the Ming Dynasty, will you hate me? ”

"The last general will never hate the lord!" Park Kyung-mu said immediately, his expression anxious, as if he wanted to immediately pull out his heart to express his loyalty.

"Alas......" Lord Weng sighed faintly.

Park Jingwu hurriedly persuaded: "The last general should die, I don't want to hurt Lord Weng." The lord has hardships and long-term ambitions in his heart; The last general will not dare to have extravagant hopes, but will only obey the will of the lord. How many people in our country are willing to guard the side, only the last general will get what he wants and dare not ask for more. ”

The virtuous lord has no more words, nor can he express his own suffering.

She is really worried about the current Ming Emperor Zhu Gaoxu's character. I heard that Zhu Gaoxu's father, Zhu Di, is a person similar to Li Fangyuan, the king of the current dynasty, who raised troops to seize the throne; Zhu Gaoxu was even more fierce than his father, and had accompanied his father to the north to conquer the barbarians many times, and then helped Zhu Di to conquer the country, and raised troops to destroy his eldest brother's court.

From Zhu Gaoxu's deeds, the virtuous lord had already guessed what kind of person he was. It must be more ferocious, brutal and irritable than the barbarians of the ancient tribe, and even more ruthless than her uncle Li Fangyuan!

But when she thought of her family's situation and her father's fears, she didn't say a word.

The virtuous lord was about to lower the curtain when he suddenly heard a dense sound of "crackling"! She followed the sound and looked up, only to see a dark shadow in the air to the north, and countless arrows flew into the air!

Park Jingwu also turned his head to look at the sky, and his expression changed greatly.

There was an immediate uproar all around!

"Ahhh......h ...... neigh" The wounded horse neighed, and the sound of messy hooves rang out, and the frightened horse ran forward.

"There are enemy troops! Array! The generals of the Ming army not far away shouted out.

The virtuous lord turned pale and asked, "Who is attacking us?" ”

Park Jingwu pulled out his sword with a "sigh", blocked the north side of the carriage, turned his head and said, "Lord Weng, it's not clear yet!" The last general will swear to protect the lord to the death! ”

Almost a moment later, behind the uphill slope in the north, the shadows of a group of horseback riders appeared at the top of the slope, and they rushed out one after another! "Bang bang......" The second arrow also flew into the air from behind the top of the slope.

"Those who escape! The guards are not effective, and the death penalty is unforgivable! The generals of the Ming army shouted loudly, "Infantry and cavalry array, prepare to ......"

The virtuous lord was at a loss for what to do, and there was only fear in his heart.

At this moment, Park Kyung-woo ordered: "Hurry up and drive the carriage and go west!" When the groom in front heard this, he immediately "snapped" and whipped up. Park Kyung-woo also turned on his horse and rode on the north side to protect him.

The virtuous lord looked at the group of horsemen on the north side, and saw that they had soon rushed to the side of the road in a condescending manner. Those "bandits" are not like ordinary people, they seem to be strong and strong, and the lineup of advance and retreat is very orderly.

The Ming army escorted dozens of cavalry on their horses, and rushed up to kill them. The strings were endless, and the screams came and went. The dust on the ground was trampled by the horses' hooves, and it seemed to be shrouded in a mist of blood.

The carriage jolted forward. At this moment, the virtuous lord heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of her, and her instinct was not good. Sure enough, in an instant, the horses pulling the cart screamed and neighed, as if they had been hit by arrows! The carriage shook violently.

"Ah......h There was a loud "clang" sound in his ears, and the person was already dizzy and felt severe pain everywhere on his body.

She felt a sudden burst of white mist in front of her, and she lost her strength and fainted.

After a while, Park Jingwu's shout came from his ears: "Lord Weng! Lord Weng ......"

The virtuous lord was not completely unconscious, and after waking up, the pain in his body hit again. But what made her most uncomfortable was not the physical pain, but the great fear and panic in her heart.

Even though she has experienced major events such as coup d'état and exile in Chaoxian Kingdom, she has never seen such a rude, violent and brutal scene, and her life is generally very peaceful. At this time, she didn't know what to do at all.

"Lord Weng, the last general will repay with his life!" Park Jingwu said solemnly with his sword.

Even if Park Jingwu around him is loyal, the virtuous lord still doesn't have the slightest sense of stability! Because when she opened her eyes, she saw a group of people on horseback approaching from all sides! Although Park Jingwu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can he win in the face of so many bandits?

Park Kyung-moo also saw those men on horseback, and with a sad look on his face, he turned his head and said in Korean: "Lord Weng, there is something I want to tell you. Ever since I saw you at the age of eight, I have knelt down in front of the idol and sworn that I will always defend the Lord at all times at the cost of my life! ”

The virtuous lord was so frightened and frightened that he couldn't say a word. But she didn't feel anything, probably because she had heard about it from Park Kyung-moo's sister.

She is not hard-hearted, she has heard similar stories before, and she was so moved that she burst into tears at that time, and she couldn't let go of it for several days, thinking that the man in the story was really good!

But now, when the virtuous lord really encounters such a touching thing himself, there is not much other feeling; There is only a feeling of fear and fear of death. Perhaps the extreme fear is far more intense than any other feeling!

A lifetime is simply ridiculous! She had traveled so far that she would lose her life in a davine?
