Chapter 301
Instantly, the cold wind blew in with the curtain, disturbing the heaviness and silence around for a moment.
Sihan and Xu Guichun looked sideways, and as soon as their eyes fell down the curtain, they saw that in the swaying light, there were small snow-white things falling from the sky.
The snow-white thing, in this hazy and heavy light and shadow, looks extremely abrupt, and when it shakes and falls, it is also as light as a flutter, quite a few times sprinkled with a feeling.
Sihan was stunned, and fell out of the car with a distant expression, and after a while, Xu Guichun's hoarse and difficult voice suddenly sounded, "It's finally snowing for the first time in Da Zhou." Presumably, there will be a bumper harvest year in Dazhou this year. Pick-up"
Is it?
Sihan replied, his eyes swept towards Xu Guichun, and he didn't say anything.
Ruixue Zhaofeng's words, although they have always been true, but now they are placed on the body of Da Zhou, it seems to be a little inappropriate, after all, the war is imminent, the lives are devastated, and the blood is flowing like a river, I just beg that this Ruixue of the Great Zhou should not be infected and covered by the blood of the red ghost.
At this point, his face sank uncontrollably.
Xu Guichun seemed to be really overjoyed with the snow, and he actually leaned on the window with his weak body, looking at the car with a miserable smile.
Sihan sighed secretly, and after instructing the child to take care of Xu Guichun, he slowly moved around and got out of the carriage.
Compared with the slight warmth in the car, the outside of the car is undoubtedly cold, and the cold wind is raging from the surroundings, which is extremely prosperous, as if it wants to blow people away completely.
Sihan raised his hand slightly, subconsciously gathered the dress on his body, and when his eyes fell by chance, he swept towards his body slightly, and when he saw the auspicious cloud and phoenix robe all over his body, he was so beautiful.
For a while, her eyes were inexplicably slightly stinged by the phoenix lines, only to feel that the gorgeous lines on her body were abrupt and dazzling, her brows frowned slightly, and her complexion rose, but at this moment, a restrained and respectful voice sounded in her ears, "I have not personally thanked the eldest princess in the past few days, but the grace of the eldest princess, the grass people have all remembered it." Our family, if it weren't for the eldest princess's rescue, Xu would have died in the hands of Huo Xuan's poisonous cub. ”
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and when he turned his eyes to follow the prestige, he saw the old man Wang and his wife standing beside him, smiling at her flatteringly. It's just that they are wrapped in thick jackets, which seem to be brand new, and the patterns are extremely delicate, and they don't look like they are extraordinary.
The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, but she didn't say anything, her eyes just wandered over the two of them.
Old man Wang seemed to notice something, and hurriedly pulled the jacket on his body, and smiled at Sihan solemnly: "This is what those Jingwei adults brought to us just now, saying that the emperor sent someone to prepare it for us." The emperor is really a good man, and he will ...... for us poor people."
Before he could finish saying all these words, the old woman standing beside him interrupted, "The emperor is kind and benevolent, but he is also good to us in the face of the eldest princess. All this is due to the eldest princess. ”
"What do you know about a woman! Although it is rumored that the emperor is cautious and tight, it is because those people have no chance to meet the saint at all. And according to my observation these days, the emperor is not the person who is rumored, but he is kind-hearted and cares about the eldest princess. I used to think that a person like the emperor would kill the courtiers on the day he ascended the throne, and he must be a person who is not easy to get along with, but I didn't expect that the emperor is also a warm-hearted person, not only to the eldest princess is very considerate, but also to us is very ......"
This topic is undoubtedly on the rise, and it is to start talking about the money that the old man Wang can't suppress, but as soon as the words arrived here, seeing Sihan's face becoming more and more complex and gloomy, his heart trembled, and the whole person suddenly reacted, and then hurriedly choked on the words, swept towards Sihan with a slight weak heart, and stared at the surrounding Jingwei in fear, and then forcibly pressed his heart, and said in a low voice and respectfully: "Eldest princess, the grass people said this, there is no malice, and they have no courage to discuss the emperor in public." The grass people didn't know which tendon was worried, and they didn't hold back for a while, hoping that the eldest princess would not blame. ”
As soon as these words fell, he looked at Sihan more and more respectfully.
The matter between the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the eldest princess of Dongling, he has more or less understood a lot in the past few days, I have to say that he has never seen these people in his life are so entangled and helpless, it seems that they are all thoughtful, full of entanglement, this is also a very simple thing, and the people around can see how the relationship between the two is, but only these two people are so entangled, unwilling to reveal their hearts.
For example, if the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no intention of having no intention of this eldest princess, how could he carry a few boxes of precious pearls and jades to Surabaya Juju, if he couldn't let go of his heart, how could he send a thousand elite soldiers to escort the eldest princess of Tanglin back to China?
Another example is this Tanglin eldest princess, if she really doesn't like the new emperor of the Great Zhou, with her cold and rejecting personality thousands of miles away, how can she often get along with the new emperor of the Great Zhou, instead of fighting and snubbing each other? If you are sincere and unfluctuating, and you are on guard like hatred, how can you grind and chirp with the Tanglin Emperor today on the occasion of parting, and not leave for a long time?
Old man Wang picked his eyes, but his mind fluctuated greatly. And although he is just a person in the market, he has eaten a lot of salt and this Tanglin eldest princess, so there are some things, he naturally sees it in his eyes, but he doesn't dare to say more, and he is not qualified to say more.
Sihan's face was cold, gloomy and distant, and his eyes only glanced at Old Man Wang's face, and he had no intention of speculating about Old Man Wang's intentions.
She only raised her eyes and swept the Jingwei who were busy setting up tents not far away, her expression moved slightly, and after being silent for a moment, her lips moved, and she said in a low voice: "The thoughts of the Great Zhou Emperor, no one can guess. I also hope that the old man will be cautious in his words and deeds, after all, all the people around him are the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou, and they are directly under the new emperor of the Great Zhou. ”
The smooth voice, the silence and indifference, and the blurted out tone are also unwavering, but there is no warmth.
Old man Wang's expression tightened, and he hurriedly nodded his head.
Sihan didn't say anything more, just stepped forward, standing slightly on the slightly high mound in front of him, and glanced in all directions with a distant expression.
The place where the station stayed was so remote that there was only a narrow official road winding at the end of the torch light and shadow, and on both sides of the official road, there were only desolate trees and weeds.
The atmosphere was cold and cold, and the surrounding trees were already withered and bare, and the meaning of decay was extremely obvious. And the snow falling from the sky, plain white and abrupt, endless, even after staying for a long time, the snow suddenly densely fell, fell on the top of the head, and was covered with a layer of snow white in a moment.
"Eldest princess, the tent has been set up, I hope the eldest princess will enter the tent to rest first."
At this moment, a servant trotted in, speaking out very respectfully and carefully.
Sihan replied, glanced at the servant, was silent for a moment, and then moved and began to move forward without saying a word.
Tonight's dinner is extremely rare and sumptuous, not only congee and barbecue, but also dim sum.
Without waiting for Sihan to ask, the servant took the initiative to carefully say that these meals were prepared in advance by their emperor himself, saying that if the eldest princess insisted on camping, she would bring these things to eat.
Sihan raised the corners of his eyes, and his heart was cold.
That Lan Yeyu obviously ordered Jingwei to send her to Tanglin all the way, but after all, he also knew that she would definitely set up camp halfway, and because he knew this very well, he would prepare these meals in advance for her to camp and eat. I have to say that Lan Yeyu is so shrewd and very good at speculating on people's hearts, I don't know what else she Yan Sihan has, which can make him not calculate so accurately, and even exceed his budget, shocking him invisibly, which will make him shocked and stunned, or he will be caught off guard.
At this point, his brows furrowed slightly, and his thoughts became more and more undulating and swaying, cold and majestic.
Sihan still didn't say a word, continued to eat, and when the meal was finished, he began to take a break.
This encampment did not last long.
About four or five hours later, Youjingwei respectfully told him outside the tent and urged him to go on the road.
Sihan responded with a screen, only to see that the sky was not yet bright, and the snow falling from the sky had decreased a lot, but the ground was full of plain white, completely covered with snow.
By the light of the torches, I glanced around, and I saw a majestic and magnificent blanket of silver.
And Xu Guichun's son came out of the other tent, swept towards Sihan with sleepy eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Eldest princess, but are you going to continue your journey?" ”
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he nodded slowly at him.
Xu Guichun's son answered, and then retracted his head and returned to the account, but it was only a moment before he and Xu Guichun went out of the tent together.
The cold wind was raging, and as soon as several people came out of the tent, they shivered.
Sihan walked over slowly, and glanced at Xu Guichun's face, only to see that although her face was depressed, it was not as pale as yesterday, and even her pupils were slightly energetic, and she seemed to be fine.
"How's the body?" Sihan was silent for a moment and asked calmly.
Xu Guichun hurriedly said: "The wound is not as painful as yesterday, and the legs are slightly stronger, I think it should be better." ”
As he spoke, Chao Sihan, who was slightly embarrassed and apologetic, said, "It's a matter of worrying about the eldest princess." ”
Sihan said slowly: "It's better to do it." The road ahead is long, we still need to run on the road for a few days, you and cherish yourself, wait to enter the Tanglin, the palace, and then send the imperial doctor to recuperate for your health. ”
Xu Guichun was full of gratitude and nodded.
Sihan glanced at her again, said no more, turned around, and then boarded the carriage.
After the coachman reported that everything was ready, Sihan gave a low command to set off.
The carriage began to jolt forward again, and the heavy and chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage also crashed into my ears layer by layer, and the sound was very loud.
Sihan leaned in the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, and still began to close his eyes.
On this journey, except for a slight pause for dinner at noon, the rest of the time was a rapid march forward, galloping away.
The hours are also completely dissipated on the way.
By dusk, the snow had stopped and the sky was dark.
Sihan was slightly sour, couldn't help but sit up a little straight, slightly raised his hand to lift the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw that outside the car, there were mountains and forests, and it was steep and precipitous.
She was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and then immediately lowered the curtain of the carriage, and then quickly moved forward, opened the curtain in front of her, and her eyes fell to the coachman in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?" ”
The coachman was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked back at Sihan.
"Eldest princess, there is Luo Ying Pass in front." The coachman replied.
Luo Ying Pass?
Sihan's expression moved slightly, his eyes fell forward again, and he saw that the official road under his feet was winding forward in the two high mountains, and in the distance ahead, it was vaguely seen that the two mountains were getting closer and closer, and the official road passed through the narrow gap between the two mountains.
If someone threw a rolling stone at the narrow pass in the distance, there was no doubt that the chariots and horses passing through the narrow pass would be crushed into powder.
In an instant, Sihan's pupils shrank, and his heart tightened for a while, and an inexplicable sense of complexity and ominousness was intertwined, with violent ups and downs.
The ominous feeling came abruptly and inexplicably, and his eyes once again glanced at the narrow gate in the distance, although he did not notice anything unusual, but the more the carriage went forward, the closer it was to the gate, the more intense the unknown ominous feeling became.
"Stop."
It was only a moment, Sihan's voice tightened, and he spoke in a low voice.
The coachman was stunned again, seeing that Sihan's face was cold and noisy, not a joke, his heart was also tight, and he immediately pulled the reins to stop the carriage, and then asked respectfully and resolutely: "Eldest princess, what's wrong?" ”
Sihan's gaze was fixed on the narrow pass in the distance, and he said in a low voice: "The pass ahead is narrow, full of dangers, and it is not easy to pass through. ”
As he spoke, his voice raised, "Send a few elite guards to explore the road immediately, remember, carefully scan the mountains on both sides of the pass to see if there is anything unusual." ”
The coachman reacted immediately, and his resolute face also showed a little rigor and heaviness, and after Chao Sihan responded, he personally got out of the car and ordered several accompanying Jingwei to step forward to explore the way.
When the coachman sat down in the carriage again, the five Jingwei and the horses rose and galloped forward.
The dust and sand raised by the horses' hooves were wantonly raised by the wind, slightly obscuring the figures of the elite guards.
Sihan frowned slightly, and Sen Leng's gaze was still firmly fixed on the front. It was a moment, the wind and sand had subsided, and those Jingwei had already crossed the narrow pass in the distance.
Sihan waited in his heart, not in a hurry, but the complicated and ominous meaning in his heart was still hovering in his heart, no matter how he suppressed it, it would not disappear.
Soon, the Jingwei rode back on horseback, claiming that there was nothing unusual ahead, although the high mountains on both sides of the pass were full of dead trees and shrubs, but they were silent and unusual, even the footprints or horseshoe prints on the official road were also weathered and old, not new, and presumably no one had been here for a long time.
As soon as these words came out, Sihan's coachman also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to Sihan: "The front is safe, I hope the eldest princess can go back to the car and sit down, we need to hurry in time." ”
"Not busy. Compensation"
Sihan raised the corner of his eyes, his face was full of miscellaneous, and then regardless of the surprise of the coachman and the Jingwei in front of him, he immediately jumped out of the car and walked straight beside Xu Guichun's carriage.
Xu Guichun and a few people were watching through the curtain, and when they saw Sihan coming, their faces were a little worried and afraid.
"Eldest princess, but what happened earlier?"
Xu Guichun endured his physical discomfort and asked worriedly.
Sihan said slowly: "The pass ahead is narrow, and it is slightly inappropriate to take a car. You get out of the carriage first, change your horses, and when you have passed the pass safely, then go back to the carriage. ”
Seeing that Sihan's face was complicated and tense, Xu Guichun knew that the situation was not shallow, so he immediately nodded to Sihan, and forcibly supported himself to get out of the car with Old Man Wang and others.
After arranging all the horses of Xu Guichun and the others to each Jingwei, Sihan also chose the horse of one of the guards and rode alone.
When she was about to order the group to continue on their way, Jingwei quickly sent robes to her and Xu Guichun's family, Sihan lowered her eyes and saw that the robes handed by Jingwei were actually helmets and armor.
"The border ahead is really narrow, and it's not a bad thing to be more prepared. It's just that the eldest princess's clothes are too conspicuous, and her subordinates are worried about being recognized at a glance. Seeing that Sihan didn't reach out to pick it up, Jingwei, who was holding the clothes, spoke up respectfully.
Sihan's expression moved slightly, he was silent for a moment, and finally reached out to take it without saying a word, and when he had to put on the armor and helmet by himself, when he turned around, he saw that the Xu Guichun family who were scattered on horseback had also finished putting on the armor and helmet.
Sihan's heart was slightly calm, and when he turned around, he glanced at the far pass ahead, and then ordered the group to go on the road again.
Because of this delay, everyone was on guard, and their faces were extremely tight, and the Jingwei subconsciously rode their horses forward, and then protected Sihan and Xu Guichun's empty carriage in the middle.
Seeing this, Si Han was caught off guard and was slightly stunned, but when she reacted, she felt that these elite soldiers trained by Lan Ye Yu were undoubtedly extremely intelligent, and this time they took the initiative to carefully protect her and Xu Guichun's empty carriage in the middle, no doubt, to create an illusion and confuse outsiders.
If someone really wants to be unfavorable to her, naturally, they will attack her carriage first.
The more you get closer to the pass ahead, the more intense the ups and downs in your heart become.
Sihan clenched the reins, his expression was tight, and he was full of vigilance, but it was not long before the group finally approached the pass completely, and slowly walked towards the narrow official road.
Si Han rode his horse behind, his eyes first glanced at the two empty carriages in front of him, and then he swept towards the mountains on both sides with cold and gloomy eyes, and saw that, as the previous guards returned, the mountains on both sides had many dead trees, but there were also a lot of shrubs, which really made people unable to see the end of the mountain.
Sihan frowned, rode forward quietly, and slowly followed the large army.
In a short time, the group finally passed through the narrow pass and meandered forward.
Sihan's hanging heart was finally a little relaxed, but at this moment, several sounds of breaking the sky flowed, as if piercing the surrounding air, and the cold and gloomy meaning was fully revealed.
"Be careful."
Sihan roared suddenly, but he didn't have time to react, and the cold and shining things jumped to the two carriages in front of him in an instant, and in an instant, the carriages were tied into a honeycomb.
