Chapter 156: The Eve of the Great War 5
Zhao Huaiyan's original idea was to deliberately let Bo Jiang fake his death, but she was probably too young and didn't understand men's minds.
After listening to Yan Chi's words, she seemed to understand, the anger on her face dissipated a little, she glanced at him, pushed away his hand around her waist, turned over and lay on her back in his arms, looked at him on her back, and said, "Then you can only go with the flow." ”
Yan Chi said: "That's right. ”
Zhao Huaiyan thought of what he just said, "You don't know how to love someone", she was inevitably still a little uncomfortable, she took his hand and asked, "Do you think I don't love you?" ”
Yan Chi looked at her and asked rhetorically, "Do you love it?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan didn't confess to him, and then asked: "Then do you love me?" ”
Yan Chi said softly: "Hmm." ”
After saying that, the back of his ears turned faintly red.
Zhao Huaiyan was lying there, so she saw the flush behind his ears at a glance, she smiled, and her mood suddenly improved, but she deliberately hung Yan Chi, and didn't say whether she loved her or not.
Yan Chi waited for a long time, didn't wait for her answer, and didn't force her, he actually knew that she liked him, otherwise he wouldn't give him his body, if she was shy and embarrassed to say, then he would listen to her when she was embarrassed to say it.
When Zhao Huaiyan came back, she was still dressed in men's clothes, Yan Guangning changed her clothes, but Zhao Huaiyan didn't change, Yan Chi pointed to her clothes and asked, "Do you want to change one?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "After eating, take a shower and change it." ”
Yan Chi said okay, thinking that Bo Jiang led the troops to Zhao State, he said again: "Do you want to write a letter to your father, explaining the matter between Bo Jiang and Tianxing, so that he can be prepared in his heart, if Bo Jiang makes any moves, he will have a good response." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "No, I'll go back in person." ”
As soon as Yan Chi heard that she was going back, she immediately showed a reluctant expression, but she did have to go back, now that Wei Guo and Chen Guo are at war, Zhou Guo and South Korea are at war, and Bo Jiang led the troops to Zhao State, as the emperor of Zhao State, she naturally can't travel anymore, especially, Pei Lianfu's proposal today, he also agrees.
Yan Chi said: "Well, I also plan to go back to Yan Kingdom, just wait for you and Guangning to come back, now that you both have come back safely, then I will leave to return to Yan Kingdom tomorrow." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Then I will leave for Zhao tomorrow." ”
Yan Chi hummed lightly, leaned down and kissed her forehead, eyes and nose, and when the kiss reached her lips, Yuan Xing's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Emperor Zhao, the supper is ready." ”
Yan Chi had already eaten a serious dinner, but Zhao Huaiyan didn't eat it, Yan Chi was afraid that she would be hungry, so he stopped thinking about continuing to kiss her, picked her up, and walked out the door.
After arriving at the door, Zhao Huaiyan asked him to let go, she went by herself, and Yan Chi let go of her.
The dining hall was not in the master bedroom, but in another wing, so the two of them went out and walked a few corridors to the dining room, where the supper meal was already on the table, and it was steaming.
It's cold outside, fortunately, when he went out, Yan Chi took a thick cloak to Zhao Huaiyan, Beiyan's cloak was very cold, densely wrapped around his body, and the cold outside couldn't blow inside his body at all, Yan Chi protected her very tightly along the way, Zhao Huaiyan was not cold, and when he entered the house, Yan Chi took off the cloak on her body, handed it to Yuan Xing to hold, and let him stay outside.
Yan Chi didn't let others serve him, the dishes and chopsticks had already been set, and the two of them could eat when they sat down.
On the way to eat, Yan Chi asked Zhao Huaiyan about the situation in Qinzhi's mansion in those two days, and asked who else was in Qinzhi's mansion, as well as Chu Ye's current situation, and Zhao Huaiyan said them one by one.
Knowing that Chu Ye was still in the Qin State, Yan Chi was silent and didn't say anything, just put food on her.
While eating, Yan Chi suddenly said, "I want to advance our wedding date." ”
Zhao Huaiyan's expression froze: "Ah, in advance? ”
Yan Chi said: "Well, I don't want to wait until May, it's too long, now the situation in various countries is unstable, I don't know when the Qin State will start a war with the Yan State, if the war comes suddenly, then I can't marry you as scheduled, or, it will be extended indefinitely, and then it will become indefinite." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "But the day of marriage has been announced to all countries, and the sudden change has to be announced again?" ”
Yan Chi said: "It's not difficult. ”
Zhao Huaiyan poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and said, "I don't care." ”
Yan Chi didn't worry about anything, he was worried that she would disagree, and when he heard her say that it didn't matter, he immediately said: "Then when I return to Yan Kingdom, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to re-measure the date, and then write to you the final date." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Yes." He asked again, "What about your marriage date with Chu Chaohuan?" ”
Yan Chi frowned slightly and said, "As usual." ”
Zhao Huaiyan sighed, didn't ask anything, and concentrated on eating.
Yan Chi glanced at her and smiled softly, he asked, "Your birthday is in February, right?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Well, February 16." ”
Yan Chi nodded, indicating that he understood, and he picked up vegetables for her to eat more.
After Zhao Huaiyan was full, rinsed her mouth, and sat down for a while, Yan Chi got up and pulled her, took the cloak from Yuanxing's hand and wrapped her after going out, and then took her hand and wanted to go back to the main hall of the palace.
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I have to go back to Zhao tomorrow, I will go to Tianxing to arrange it." ”
Yan Chi involuntarily clenched her hand and said, "Let's press the row tomorrow?" It's so late, the stars should be asleep. ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked up at the sky, it was indeed very late, it was almost time, she said helplessly: "Okay, go to bed first." ”
Zhao Huaiyan originally wanted to find a place to sleep by herself, but seeing that Yan Chi was pulling her not to lose it, thinking that as soon as she parted tomorrow, she didn't know when she would be able to hold hands like this again, so she didn't say that she would sleep somewhere else, and followed Yan Chi back to his main hall.
There is a natural hot spring pool in the main hall, Yan Chi asked Zhao Huaiyan to take a hot bath, and he went to get her clothes.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't refuse, and after being taken to the hot spring pool by Yan Chi, he took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.
Yan Chi went to look for clothes, but he didn't dare to come over after looking for clothes, but he was afraid that he couldn't control the way he saw her taking a shower, so he sat on the edge of the bed and counted the time blankly.
Half an hour later, Zhao Huaiyan hadn't come out yet, so he had to go in and call her.
Looking at it in the past, Zhao Huaiyan actually fell asleep against the wall of the pool.
Yan Chi was startled, hurriedly put down his clothes, strode forward, reached out and picked her up carefully, took a dry towel to dry her whole body, then put on her underwear, carried her to the bed, covered it from the quilt, and then wiped her hair from behind, after drying, he pushed her long hair aside, looked at her soaked red face, cherry-like red lips, he used his fingertips to trace her outline carefully, then tucked the quilt for her, and went to take a bath by himself.
After taking a shower, he hugged her and slept with his eyes closed.
This night Yan Chi followed the rules and didn't do anything, Zhao Huaiyan slept all night, slept very well, got up in the morning and was full of energy, she didn't see Yan Chi in bed when she opened her eyes, she rubbed her eyes, thinking about what time it was.
Just as he was about to lift the quilt, Qu Zhao's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, are you awake?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Wake up, come in." ”
Qu Zhao pushed the door in, holding a silver basin in her hand, and a white towel was placed in the silver basin, she put the basin on the basin stand, and came over to serve Zhao Huaiyan to dress.
Zhao Huaiyan asked, "What time is it?" ”
Qu Zhao said: "It's time." ”
Zhao Huaiyan asked, "What about Yan Chi?" ”
Qu Zhao glanced at her and said, "Emperor Yan is in the study, talking to some courtiers about things, he asked me to wait for the emperor to get up, and said that he would wait for you to have breakfast together." ”
Zhao Huaiyan asked again: "What about Tianxing?" ”
Qu Zhao said: "In the courtyard." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I'll go find her first." ”
Qu Zhao said yes and hurriedly waited for her to put it on.
Zhao Huaiyan went out, went to Tianxing first, and told her about returning to Zhao today, Tianxing was stunned and said, "Will you meet Bo Jiang?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "No, Zhao Country is our territory, and we are familiar with the terrain, no matter where he is stationed, it is impossible for him to run into you." ”
Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Even so, I still can't return to China with the emperor." ”
Zhao Huaiyan knew Tianxing's scruples, she was afraid that if she returned to Zhao State, Bo Jiang would attack Zhao State unceremoniously, but how could she let her go outside alone? The current situation is not as good as before, especially her identity has been exposed, it is not Bo Jiang who is looking for her alone, presumably Emperor Qin has given an order, and the entire Qin State is wanted by her.
And the reason why Bo Jiang must find her as soon as possible is nothing more than to protect her.
Bo Jiang won't kill her, this shouldn't be wrong.
But Bo Jiang will definitely kill because of her.
Zhao Huaiyan frowned lightly and said, "If you don't return to China with me, where are you going to go?" ”
Tianxing said: "If you don't go anywhere, you will stay in Beiyan." ”
Yinmian said: "If you stay, I will stay." ”
Other members of the Golden Spy Network also said: "Where the star leader is, we will be there." ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her subordinates who were working together so much, and she was very relieved, she said to Yinmian and the other members of the Golden Spy Network: "Then you have to protect Tianxing well, and you can't let her be captured by Bo Jiang." ”
Everyone responded with a sonorous yes.
Zhao Huaiyan agreed to Tianxing to stay, and wanted to take her to meet the ministers of Yan and Pei Lianfu who stayed in Beiyan, but before they got out of the courtyard, a large group of people came to visit.
It was too late after Zhu Xuanguang brought Zhao Huaiyan and his party back last night, he didn't tell Zhou Xiaochan the good news, after getting up early in the morning, he told Zhou Xiaochan the good news, but at that time Zhao Huaiyan hadn't woken up yet, Zhou Xiaochan waited and waited, and finally waited until she woke up, knowing that she had come to Tianxing, she immediately inquired which courtyard Tianxing lived in, and after inquiring, she followed.
followed by Duan Langhuan, Pei Fangqiao and others.
Then there are the three princesses of the Han family who are newly married.
It's not lively in the small courtyard.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Han Yuyou, who was ruddy, then at Han Bei, who was plump, and then at Han Xishan, who was a little indignant, and said with a smile: "This is really a kiss, and the complexion is different." ”
She was deliberately joking, and the three princesses understood it, and glared at her in unison.
Han Yuyou took Zhao Huaiyan's hand: "Is Yan'er leaving today?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Yes, I have to return to China." ”
Han Bei said: "I don't know when I'm going to see you again." ”
Zhou Xiaochan took a mouthful: "Soon, when Emperor Zhao marries into Yan Kingdom, you can meet at any time if you want to." ”
Duan Langhuan smiled and nodded: "That's right, so, if you don't want to be separated from your good sister, persuade her to marry early." ”
Zhao Huaiyan couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't bring a good princess to ruin." ”
Duan Langhuan said: "How come, I can't bear it." ”
Zhao Huaiyan smiled.
Han Yuyou and Han Xishan also laughed.
Han Yuyou is married to Duan Dongli, Han Xishan is married to Zhuo Ling, and whether it is Duan Dongli or Zhuo Ling, they are Duan Langhuan's younger brothers, so Han Yuyou and Han Xishan are Duan Langhuan's younger siblings, she is really reluctant to take it bad.
Pei Fangqiao pulled Han Bei to his side and said deliberately: "No, it's better to stay away from you, my precious daughter-in-law can't be affected by you." ”
Duan Langhuan smiled.
The crowd laughed too.
Yan Le and Yan Guangning came late, and as soon as they came, they heard the laughter of the courtyard, Yan Le jumped over and asked excitedly: "What are you talking about, so happy!" ”
Duan Langhuan said: "The princess is late. ”
Yan Le glanced at his mouth: "Good sister, what kind of joke is it, let's talk about it again." ”
Duan Langhuan said: "It's not a funny joke, it's just a bickering, there will be more daughters-in-law and sisters in the future, so you have to listen to it." ”
Yan Guangning glanced at Zhao Huaiyan and stepped forward to ask, "Are you leaving?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Well, I'll set off after breakfast." ”
Yan Guangning lowered his head: "I want to ......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan guessed what she was going to say, she raised her hand to stop her, and said, "Huadiao, don't blame you, you don't need to blame yourself." ”
Yan Guangning said: "But I still want to send her." ”
The urn of the flower carving is on Zhao Huaiyan, she wants to take her back to her hometown and bury her well, seeing Yan Guangning blaming herself so much, Zhao Huaiyan really can't help it, in fact, no one blames her, come to think of it, Yan Guangning can't forgive herself.
Zhao Huaiyan said, "Okay. ”
said that it was sending, Yan Guangning could not go to Zhao Country with Zhao Huaiyan, and only sent them out of the territory of Beiyan.
At breakfast, Zhao Huaiyan introduced Tianxing to everyone, and Tianxing also got to know Nanqiu Han, a famous general stationed in Northern Yan, as well as Pei Lianfu, a famous minister of Chen State, Duan Dongli, the right minister of Yan State, and Nan Ziyan and others.
After greeting each other, Duan Dongli glanced at Tianxing and said to Zhao Huaiyan: "Why are the leaders of your Zhao Kingdom's Golden Spy Network stationed in various countries all women?" ”
After a pause, he asked again: "What about those stationed in Beiyan?" The deceased Qi State, could it be that there is no Golden Spy Network Organization of your Zhao State? ”
Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile: "There are all countries, but the forces are big and small, and there is only one person who was originally stationed in Qi State, and now he has returned to the country." ”
When Duan Dongli heard this, he said regretfully: "It's a pity, I thought I could get to know it!" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future." ”
Duan Dongli thought that she was about to marry into Yan Kingdom, and Yan Zhao would become a common land because of such a marriage, so he smiled and said, "Yes." ”
He picked up his wine glass and toasted Zhao Huaiyan.
Yan Chi glared at him: "Drink your own." ”
Zhao Huaiyan is not strong enough to drink, Yan Chi knows it.
Duan Dongli glared back at Yan Chi speechlessly, turned the wine glass, and raised it to Tianxing: "Tianxing girl, I respect you!" ”
Tianxing smiled, saw that Yan Chi lowered his head, poured a cup of hot and hot goat milk to Zhao Huaiyan, Beiyan is the residence of the deceased Qi country, and the people of Qi country, in winter, either drink soju or hot goat milk to warm their bodies, and most men like to drink soju, and women mostly drink goat's milk, because it is very nutritious, Yan Chi so much to maintain the emperor of his family, Tianxing is very pleased.
I knew that the emperor was going to marry Emperor Yan, but I had never seen Emperor Yan.
Seeing it now, I am quite satisfied, Emperor Yan not only has excellent looks and extraordinary ability, but the emperor is also so sincere and careful.
Tianxing retracted his gaze, picked up his wine glass, touched the cup that Duan Dongli held in mid-air, and said, "It is Tianxing's honor to know the right minister of Yan Guo. ”
Duan Dongli smiled: "Me too." ”
After the two of them finished drinking, Tianxing picked up the cup again and toasted Nanqiu Han.
Nanqiu Han said: "You're welcome. ”
But with that, he raised his glass.
Tianxing said: "Tianxing will stay in Beiyan for the time being, and in the future, the old general of Nan will have a place to get Tianxing, just open his mouth." ”
Nanqiu Han's eyes lit up, looked at Tianxing, and said with a smile: "With your words, I really won't be polite." ”
Tianxing said: "You're welcome. ”
Nanqiu Han laughed out loud, tilting his neck and drinking the wine in the cup.
Nanqiu Han was happy and had another drink with Tianxing.
Later, Nan Ziyan, Zhuo Ling, Lou Wei and others all drank with Tianxing respectively.
After drinking this wine, it was as if they had become a family.
The ladies were all at the table, and after the men drank with the stars, the ladies also took turns to drink.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at Tianxing with a little worry.
Drink so much, are you okay?
Tianxing is fine, his face does not change.
Because of Tianxing, Yinmian also drank with the people at this table, and then Yan Chi opened his mouth to eat, and everyone didn't toast, and they wanted to drink as they wanted.
Yan Chi had already arranged the follow-up things in the study, so he didn't talk about them at the dinner table.
He sat with Zhao Huaiyan, because Zhao Huaiyan was leaving, and he was going back to Yanguo, so he was a little reluctant, but he still remembered one thing, he had to say to Zhao Huaiyan.
Yan Chi said in a low voice: "Qin Shuang's head, Qinghai has already brought it back, what do you want to do with it?" ”
When Zhao Huaiyan was in Qin State, she heard that Qin Shuang's head was missing, and at that time she thought that it must have been taken away by Qinghai, so she was not surprised when she heard this, she just frowned and said, "It's useless." ”
Yan Chi said: "Take it back to relieve your anger." ”
Zhao Huaiyan raised his eyebrows: "How to relieve anger?" ”
Yan Chi said: "Guard the tomb for the flower carving." ”
Zhao Huaiyan smashed the bowl with chopsticks, suddenly grinned, and said, "The idea is good, I adopted it!" ”
Yan Chi smiled and stretched out his hand, touched her head, and picked up vegetables for her, asking her to eat more, it was more physically exhausting to hurry.
Duan Dongli sat with Han Yuyou.
Zhuo Ling sat with Han Xishan.
Nan Ziyan sat with Han Bei.
It is not according to the rule that men sit together and women sit together.
Nanqiu Han also sat with Pei Fangqiao.
Seeing that Yan Chi gave Zhao Huaiyan a dish, Duan Dongli, Zhuo Ling, Nan Ziyan, Nanqiu Han and even Pei Lianfu all followed suit to pick up the dishes for his wife, although Zhuo Ling did it a little awkwardly, but he still did it.
Han Xishan glanced at him.
So far, Zhuo Ling has not touched her.
When Han Xishan was alone with Han Yuyou and Han Bei, although the three sisters were a little shy, they still discussed the matter of the boudoir, except for Han Xishan, Han Yuyou and Han Bei had already successfully rounded up.
Han Xishan took the initiative more than Zhuo Ling, but in that matter, she was really embarrassed to be too proactive, so Zhuo Ling didn't move, and she didn't dare to be too bold.
Han Xishan doesn't know when she and Zhuo Ling will become a real husband and wife, but she always feels that Zhuo Ling, once she opens her mind, will definitely be a very dedicated husband, and he will also be a husband who loves his wife very much.
There was suddenly an extra piece of pork trotters in the bowl that she liked the most, and Han Xishan glanced up at Zhuo Ling.
Zhuo Ling said: "Don't be stunned, eat more." ”
The corners of Han Xishan's mouth opened into a smile and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhuo Ling glanced at her, and continued to eat with a blank face, occasionally drinking a little wine.
After breakfast, Yan Chi kept putting vegetables in Zhao Huaiyan's bowl, as if she was afraid that she would not be full, which made Zhao Huaiyan speechless, but he still ate all the dishes Yan Chi sandwiched, so when breakfast was over, Zhao Huaiyan was too lazy to get up.
Everyone at the table knew that Zhao Huaiyan was leaving today, and they were waiting there one after another, to see her off.
Zhao Huaiyan couldn't sit longer, and it was uncomfortable to get up, so he glared at Yan Chi with complaining eyes.
Yan Chi smiled and put his left hand around her waist, hugged her, leaned on his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Eating too much?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "It's all your fault." ”
Yan Chi chuckled: "It's your own greed." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "You don't clip so much, can I eat so much?" ”
Yan Chi said: "You don't have to finish eating." ”
Zhao Huaiyan thought to herself, can I not give face to the dishes you gave me?
She snorted coldly and brushed his hand away.
Yan Chi frowned slightly.
Zhao Huaiyan said: "No need to help, I'll walk and eat." ”
Yan Chi changed to hold her hand.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't shake him off, let her lead him, and slowly walked outside the palace.
Yan Chi said: "The carriage has been prepared, and the carriage has also prepared sufficient dry food and water, as well as some charcoal, and there is a warm couch in the carriage, so it will not be cold." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "It's slower to ride a carriage, and faster to ride a horse." ”
Yan Chi said noncommittently: "It's not in a hurry, what to do so quickly, you don't need to ride a horse, when you get to the border of Zhao State, if you feel hot, you can change horses and ride, but if you don't reach the border of Zhao State, you still take a carriage." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said, "Okay. ”
Yan Chi nodded, and confessed: "Qin Shuang's head is packed in a box and placed at the bottom of the carriage. ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Got it." ”
Yan Chi thought about it, there was nothing to explain, so he took her hand and walked out quietly, and after walking out of the palace, he saw the prepared carriage, and there was a soldier holding the horse rope in front of him, standing there waiting.
Zhao Huaiyan said, "I'm leaving." ”
Yan Chi hummed in a low voice, slowly and reluctantly let go of her hand, watched her say goodbye to everyone one by one, got into the carriage with Qu Zhao's support, lifted the curtain and went in, he walked to the window, and shouted: "Yan'er." ”
Zhao Huaiyan sat firmly, stretched out his hand to open the window, lifted the curtain, and looked at him.
Yan Chi said: "Be careful on the road. ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "You too." ”
Yan Chi nodded, indicating that he knew, and asked her to close the window again, so as not to let the cold wind in, and after Qu Zhao confirmed that Zhao Huaiyan was seated, he raised his horsewhip and left.
Yan Chi watched the carriage gradually move away until it disappeared and was out of sight, then he turned his head and ordered Yuan Xing: "Let's go too." ”
Yuan Xing hummed and went to lead the carriage.
Halfway through, Zhao Huaiyan received a letter from Zhao Xian, Zhao Xian asked her when she would return to China, the letter was sent by a flying pigeon, saying that it was a flying pigeon, but it was not right, it was Zhao Huaiyan who raised a flying eagle.
The flying eagle was raised by Zhao Huaiyan since he was a child, and was often trained to communicate with Zhao Xian, so it was actually a very professional letter eagle.
The communication between Zhao Xian and Zhao Huaiyan is very important, so it is necessary to use Xinying, because Xinying is not easy to be shot.
Qu Zhao got the letter and handed it to Zhao Huaiyan.
After reading it, Zhao Huaiyan wrote a reply letter and asked Xinying to take it back.
Zhao Xian saw the reply and knew that Zhao Huaiyan was on the way back, and a worried heart was finally able to be steady.
The prime minister asked: "Emperor Taishang, when will the emperor be able to return to China?" ”
Zhao Xiandao: "It should be there in a few days." ”
The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yao, a famous general of Zhao State, said: "There is an urgent military situation of 800 miles outside Zhao State, saying that the general of Qin State Bo Jiang led his troops to be stationed at the Broken Bridge Pass, the only pass leading from Pengji Guangzhou to Zhao State, if the emperor meets Bo Jiang there, I don't know if he can return to China smoothly, Emperor Taishang, can you allow the minister to lead the troops to meet the emperor in person?" ”
Zhao Xian thought for a while and said: "You are leading the troops forward like this, it is a bit of a battle, Bo Jiang is stationed at the Broken Bridge Pass, but he has not sent a single soldier to my Zhao Guo, I don't know what it means." ”
Lu Yao squinted: "Go and meet him, and you'll know what it means." ”
Zhao Xian looked at him and said with a smile: "You really want to understand the strength of the first general of the Qin State?" ”
Lu Yao said: "Doesn't the Emperor Taishang want to touch this person's strength?" ”
Zhao Xian knocked on the table, smiled, and said, "Then you can go...... I'll be there for a while! ”
Lu Yao immediately received the order to leave, took a thousand soldiers, and rushed to the Broken Bridge Pass.
At this time, Zhao Huaiyan's carriage also traveled all the way from Pengji Guangzhou, and in Pengji Guangzhou, the two replaced the carriage and rode horses instead, going straight to the Broken Bridge Pass.
Outside the gate, I met Bo Jiang.
Bo Jiang came to Zhao with 30,000 elite soldiers full of anger, but he did not attack any cities in Zhao State, nor did he do anything to attack the Broken Bridge Pass, he was just stationed ten miles outside the pass, waiting for the damned woman.
He knew that if Tianxing wanted to return to China, he would have to pass through here, and he didn't know if Tianxing had already returned to China, and whether there was any point in him waiting like this.
He never did such a stupid thing as waiting for a rabbit, but now, he did.
Bo Jiang was wearing a military robe, his face was cold, one hand was behind his waist, one hand was rubbing his belt, his eyes were heavy looking at the gate of the broken bridge, and the deputy general Zhong Xu behind him said: "It's not a way for the general to wait like this, if the lady really returns to China, it makes no sense for us to wait outside like this." ”
Bo Jiang pursed the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "You mean, let me attack it?" ”
Zhong Xu said: "It is definitely not possible to attack directly, we can disguise ourselves, pretend to be an ordinary businessman Jia Gu, and go into the city to investigate." ”
Bo Jiang said: "You go, I don't want to go." ”
Zhong Xu was puzzled: "Isn't it more practical for the general to go in person?" ”
Bo Jiang sneered, stared at the closed door again, and turned back to the tent.
Zhong Xu touched his head, and couldn't understand what his general was thinking, but the general has always been a person who transports troops like a god, and his thoughts are really impossible for ordinary people to guess.
Bo Jiang didn't enter the city, but Zhong Xu really wanted to go into the city to take a look, for so many years, the city gate of Zhao State was as tight as the mussel shell in the deep sea, and the thunder could not move.
Zhong Xu went to call a few people, asked them to dress up, and went into the broken bridge with him to have a look.
Zhong Xu said to Bo Jiang before leaving, Bo Jiang didn't object, he still sat in the tent, looking at the red wedding dress on the bed, she hadn't had a room with him yet, she actually left him on the wedding night...... How do you think about it, how angry you think, how do you think about it...... Bo Jiang thought to himself, Tianxing, don't let me catch you, otherwise, no, otherwise...... Otherwise, after a long time, Bo Jiang didn't think about what to do with her, beat her? Reluctantly, don't hit her, make a fire yourself.
How can you vent your anger?
Just as he was thinking, a soldier's shout suddenly came from outside the tent: "General, two people are riding here." ”
Bo Jiang frowned: "Is it Madame?" ”
The soldier said, "No. ”
Bo Jiang said angrily: "No, Madam, what do you report?" ”
The soldier said, "But those two look a little familiar." ”
Although Zhao Huaiyan was dressed as a man that day, she did not change her face, especially, she participated in the wedding banquet between Bo Jiang and Tianxing that day, in the name of Tianxing's friend, and before, the purpose of Bo Jiang and Tianxing to marry was to take her, the emperor of Zhao State, out of the palace of Prince Qin, so Bo Jiang took Zhao Huaiyan's appearance seriously that day.
Bo Jiang recognized her.
The reason why the soldiers were familiar was because in order to successfully fulfill Tianxing's wish that day, he had instructed all the soldiers in the palace to remember Emperor Zhao's face.
Bo Jiang asked, "Do you know that?" ”
The soldier said, "It should also be known to the general." ”
Bo Jiang stood up when he heard this, walked out of the tent, and as soon as he went out, he saw two horses coming here from a distance, Bo Jiang stood there and didn't move, and when the two horses approached, he saw clearly, it turned out that he really knew each other!
Emperor of Zhao.
Bo Jiang stood there without moving, neither saluting nor letting go, those sharp and shrewd eyes swept over Zhao Huaiyan's body, looked at Qu Zhao next to her, and then the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, he asked: "Shouldn't Emperor Zhao have returned to China a long time ago?" How could it be so stormy? ”
Zhao Huaiyan sat on the head of a tall horse, her skirt was flying, and there was a slight fine sweat on her face, after entering the border of Zhao State, the climate became much warmer, and she drove all the way to the horse, how much would sweat, she didn't care, just tilted her neck, looked at Bo Jiang who was blocking the road, and said: "General Bo, I know why you came, you are not here to fight, then don't stand in my way." ”
Bo Jiang asked: "Emperor Zhao has been in the dust all the way, where did he come back?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan smiled: "What is this for?" ”
Bo Jiang said: "Curious. ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I'm sorry, I can't say. ”
Bo Jiang glanced at her, and his unprovoked mood was fine, he laughed and let go of his body.
The soldiers behind him were a little confused, since the lady abandoned the general, and the general led the troops to chase after him overnight, he had never smiled on his face, let alone laughing, he didn't dare to talk to him loudly all day long, and the general's temper became more and more gloomy, but at this moment, the general not only smiled, but also suddenly looked extraordinarily bright.
The soldier touched his head and couldn't figure it out, but when he saw that the general had moved out of the way, he followed suit.
Bo Jiang watched Zhao Huaiyan and Qu Zhao ride horses one after the other and entered the Broken Bridge Pass.
Closing the door, Bo Jiang turned his head and looked behind him.
Suddenly, he shouted, "Someone." ”
The soldier immediately stepped forward: "General." ”
Bo Jiang said: "You take ten people, disguise yourself as ordinary people, go to Pengji Guangzhou, find your wife, give you a day, and come back in the evening to report to me whether your wife is in Pengji Guangzhou." ”
The soldier hurriedly replied in a deep voice: "Yes! ”
The soldier went down and called for someone to carry out the order.
Bo Jiang returned to the tent, pulled the quilt to cover the wedding dress, he lay on his back on the quilt, his hands pillowed behind his head, looked at the tent hanging above his head, and analyzed where Zhao Huaiyan would return from, and the place where she returned must be the place where Tianxing temporarily stayed.
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was either Yan Guo or Northern Yan.
Yan country, northern Yan.
Northern Yan, Yan Country.
He suddenly jumped up, went to the desk to write a letter, left it to Zhong Xu, and then went to lead the horse alone, and went towards Pengji Guangzhou, of course he did not go to Pengji Guangzhou, but rushed from Pengji Guangzhou to Beiyan.
Zhao Huaiyan entered the city and asked Qu Zhao to buy a veil, although few people on this side of the border knew her, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she still had to wear a veil.
Qu Zhao nodded and went to buy it.
When I bought it back, Zhao Huaiyan brought it.
With the veil on her belt, she led her horse and walked through the city.
Qu Zhao followed.
Bumped into Lu Yao who came over, Zhao Huaiyan wore a veil, Lu Yao didn't recognize her, but Qu Zhao he knew, he saw Qu Zhao, he stopped immediately, and then looked at the veiled woman next to her, and immediately changed her complexion, but she didn't dare to call her emperor on the crowded street, so she had to step forward, bow her fist, and shout: "Miss." ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu is here." ”
Lu Yao said respectfully: "Yes, come to pick up Miss." ”
Zhao Huaiyan smiled: "Did my father let you come?" ”
Lu Yao said: "Hmm." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I'm fine, I'll go back." ”
Lu Yao said: "Do you want your subordinates to send Miss?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Didn't you come to pick me up?" ”
Lu Yao paused, his eyes glanced at the closed door far away, Zhao Huaiyan also looked at his eyes, saw the door, and suddenly thought of who was behind the door at the moment, she smiled and said, "Want to go and see it?" ”
Lu Yao nodded.
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Go ahead." ”
Lu Yao immediately hugged his fist again: "Miss can rest in the restaurant temporarily, just leave someone to communicate with me, and I'll go back when I go." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Okay, just a little bit of drinking, and a little hungry, I'll go to the ......" She pointed to a restaurant in front of her and said, "That's it, you can come here to find me after you see it." ”
Lu Yao said hello again, asked Zhao Huaiyan to escort him to the restaurant, and ordered one person to go to the city, call back the separated soldiers, and follow him out of the city.
But when he left the city, he came to the camp where Bo Jiang was stationed, but he did not see Bo Jiang, and the soldiers said that the general had gone out for the time being, and when he would come back, I don't know.
Lu Yao didn't wait, turned around and left.
When he returned to the restaurant, Zhao Huaiyan was very surprised, before the food came up, Lu Yao came back, the speed was too fast, Lu Yao said that he didn't see anyone, Bo Jiang was not there, Zhao Huaiyan squinted, oh, put a pair of chopsticks, thoughtful.
Lu Yao wanted to escort her back to the palace, but she asked Lu Yao to stay, and said: "Tomorrow you go out of the city again, see if Bo Jiang is still there, if not, you can write to me." ”
Lu Yao didn't know what Zhao Huaiyan meant, but he couldn't help but obey the emperor's order, so he responded to it.
Back at the palace, Zhao Huaiyan went to wash and change clothes first, and then went to see Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian saw her, called her to his side, glanced up and down, and said, "I'm finally willing to come back." ”
Zhao Huaiyan smiled: "What did Dad say?" ”
Zhao Xian pretended to be angry and glared at her: "I still know what my father said, don't take such a risk next time!" ”
Zhao Huaiyan went up and grabbed his hand, shaking it: "No, isn't this a war, how can my daughter have time to take risks." ”
Zhao Xian snorted coldly, but when he thought of fighting, he frowned slightly, and said, "South Korea is at war with the Zhou State, should we do something to help?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan asked, "Did Emperor Han write a letter?" ”
Zhao Xiandao: "I didn't write it." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I came back to discuss this matter with my father, I was supposed to send troops to help, but Emperor Han didn't write a letter, which means that he can still deal with it, and there is now a general of Qin State outside the broken bridge pass of my Zhao State, and our soldiers want to get out of the customs, they may have to have some trouble, and besides, Yan Chi wants to advance the marriage date, because he is afraid that once the war officially starts, our marriage date will become far away, and I also agreed to him, so before getting married, Zhao State cannot fall into the war." ”
Zhao Xiandao: "Early marriage? ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Hmm." ”
Zhao Xian asked, "When will it be in advance?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "I haven't said it yet, probably in a few days, Yan Guo will send a letter." ”
Zhao Xian asked, "Why do they have to decide the date?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Then Dad, you want to decide?" ”
Zhao Xiandao: "It's up to us to decide, since your marriage contract with Emperor Yan cannot be annulled, it is bound to continue, it is no different to marry early and marry late, my father really wants to send troops to help South Korea, we send troops early, South Korea will be able to lose fewer soldiers and die less, you write to tell Yan Chi that your birthday is the best auspicious day, and you will marry on that day." ”
Zhao Huaiyan blinked, she didn't expect her father to become so resolute all of a sudden, she said, "February 16th?" ”
Zhao Xian said: "Yes." ”
Zhao Huaiyan said: "Will the time be too rushed?" ”
Zhao Xiandao: "You just have to write a letter, our Zhao Guo will definitely have time to prepare the dowry, it depends on Yan Guo's side, but my father thinks that Yan Chi should have been preparing for the dowry for a long time, he won't feel that he is in a hurry, he may wish to marry you back today." ”
Zhao Huaiyan's face turned red and glared at Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian sighed abruptly and said with a smile: "The female university is not staying." ”
