Chapter 17: Goodbye Yue'er (I)
"Young apprentice, even you ......" Zhang Shaohua pointed at Tian Shaotu, "You two can bully me." ”
Zhang Shaohua pursed his lips and looked at Tian Shaotu's eyes full of grievances. Then he looked at Yu Wenxuan again.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Yu Wenxuan leaned over and hugged Zhang Shaohua, and immediately said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "Who doesn't know that your robe was sewn by our sister herself." ”
"He likes his sister." Tian Shaotu hurriedly corrected it quietly.
"Oh yes, yes, slip of the tongue." Yu Wenxuan's face was terrified.
Zhang Shaohua lowered his head, not wanting to look at the two friends, "Alas...... How did I make you two friends? ”
said so, but in my heart I didn't feel disgusted at all.
It's okay to make fun of me, but not any of you. You can bully you, no one but us.
After eating and drinking, Tian Shaotu and Zhang Shaohua led the dark clouds and the jade unicorn and Tian Shaofu's purple horse to graze. Yu Wenxuan leaned against the trunk of the tree alone, lying down and falling asleep. Although it was hot, it was somewhat cool in the shade of the trees. In particular, the mountain breeze blowing through the forest can bring a burst of comfort and is very pleasant. The sunlight shone directly down, through the dense leaves, forming many tiny spots of light on Yu Wenxuan's face and body.
It may be because he has been on the road for most of the day, but this night, Yu Wenxuan slept very soundly.
Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu came back early, and they didn't wake up Yu Wenxuan. And let everyone talk and act lightly. A large army of more than 1,000 people rested peacefully on the side of the sparsely populated road at noon full of cicadas.
"How long did I sleep?" Yu Wenxuan asked after sitting up straight.
"It's been more than half an hour." Tian Shaotu saw that Yu Wenxuan was awake, so he walked over, "Do you want to sleep anymore?" ”
"No, it's time for us to go." Yu Wenxuan sat up from the ground and patted the soil on his body.
The sun was not as hot as it had just been, and although it was still hot, it was at least much stronger than the midday one.
After taking a sip of the water handed over by Zhang Shaohua, Yu Wenxuan ordered: "Shaohua and Wei Chuan go and gather troops and continue on their way." ”
After escaping the hottest part of the day, and resting for a while, the crowd got back on their horses after recovering their strength. Every day of the day starts early in the morning, rests at noon, and then travels.
Finally, in the evening two days later, I arrived at the border of Liangzhou.
"Your Highness, do you need to take the last step to notify the Liangzhou Taishou to come to greet you?" Wei Chuan asked.
Yu Wenxuan thought for a while and said, "No, let's go directly into the city." It is often caught off guard and unprepared that the most real things can be reflected. This time we are not only going to pick up the princess of Liuji Kingdom, but we also have to check the situation of the states and counties along the way. ”
"No!" Weichuan Road.
Wuwei County, outside the city gate.
A thousand cavalry is not a small posture, and Yu Wenxuan has always been a person who loves to be public, so the Black Feather Army followed their commander towards the city.
The arrival of Prince Xi without warning really alarmed the Taishou of Liangzhou.
This Liangzhou Taishou is named Zhao Guangzhe, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure. He was born in Liangzhou, and the western Xinjiang has not been peaceful for many years, and it was Zhao Guangzhe who led the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou to guard the territory. Because Liangzhou is located on the border of Han and Qiang, the local soldiers and horses are already brave, and there is such a good general as Zhao Guangzhe, so that Tubo cannot invade in the slightest.
Zhao Guangzhe and the Western Liang soldiers he led were known by foreign countries as the Great Wall of flesh and blood in the western frontier of the Great Zhou.
"What? Already out of town? Zhao Guangzhe was discussing affairs with several adjutant generals, and the soldiers came to report.
"My lord, is it ...... His Royal Highness the King of Xi to come here suddenly," a lieutenant general asked puzzled.
Zhao Guangzhe had received a letter from Yuwenduan in advance, so he knew why Yuwenxuan was here. But what I didn't expect was that they came so quickly.
"His Royal Highness went to Yumen Pass to receive the Liuji State delegation into Beijing, and now he has just arrived in Liangzhou. They must have come to rest in the city. Zhao Guangzhe said, "Let's go, let's go and greet you." ”
In the military regulations of the Black Feather Army, no matter when and where, it is not allowed to disturb the people, let alone oppress the people. Violators will be killed. Although he had such military regulations, before entering the city, Yu Wenxuan still gave advice.
A thousand cavalrymen, in a row of four people, entered the Liangzhou Mansion in a neat manner, and the team was like a long black dragon. Soon after entering the city, Zhao Guangzhe led a group of officials to come.
"Liangzhou Taishou Zhao Guangzhe see His Royal Highness King Xi. The lower officials didn't know that His Highness had arrived today, and he was disappointed. Zhao Guangzhe knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Guangzhe's deeds, Yu Wenxuan knows. He admired such a loyal and courageous hero the most in his life. So he hurriedly dismounted and personally helped Zhao Guangzhe up.
"Brother Zhao, get up." In terms of age, Zhao Guangzhe is more than twenty years older than Yu Wenxuan, but because Yu Wenduan is only less than ten years younger than Zhao Guangzhe. So Yu Wenxuan called him big brother.
"Your Highness can't help it, you still call me by my name." Zhao Guangzhe said in panic.
After all, no one would dare to call the prince a brother and brother easily. Besides, Zhao Guangzhe is still such a person who keeps his way.
"That'...... Lord Zhao. Please arrange a place for me brothers. We're going to have to go back early tomorrow morning. Yu Wenxuan said.
"Don't dare to be, it's all as it should be." Zhao Guangzhe looked at the Black Feather Army behind Yu Wenxuan, and then said, "If you don't dislike it, then Your Highness and several generals will go to the Taishou Mansion to rest tonight." ”
Zhao Guangzhe's humility greatly increased the favor of Yu Wenxuan and others. He is not proud of his merits, but he is really a good minister and a loyal minister.
"That couldn't be better." Tian Shaotu stepped forward and said, "Then please ask Lord Zhao to lead the way." I'm tired from the day, and I'm really hungry. ”
"Hahaha, okay. Then I'll treat you well tonight. Please. Zhao Guangzhe stretched out his left hand sideways, made a "please" movement, and then led Yu Wenxuan and the four of them to the Assassin's Mansion. Several of Zhao Guangzhe's lieutenants led the Black Feather Army to the garrison of their Xiliang soldiers.
The night is getting deeper, and tonight's meal is the only serious meal I've had since I set off. After the meal, Yu Wenxuan sat alone in the courtyard and drank.
In the summer, after dark, the insects chirp more and more, and they sound the same chirp at any time, but each time you listen to it, you can hear a different meaning. Maybe it's a difference in mood.
The stars twinkled in the sky and the moonlight was cold. Yu Wenxuan drank wine and looked at the stars. Don't think about anything, try your best to empty yourself. Let yourself relax after days of traveling.
"What do you think?" Tian Shaotu patted Yu Wenxuan lightly.
"What about Shaohua? Why are you alone? Yu Wenxuan didn't answer, but asked a question.
"I'm going to see the horses. I'll be there later. Tian Shao said.
"Haoxuan, I can't figure out why you want to refuse Your Majesty's decision to let you marry the princess of Liuji Kingdom." Tian Shaotu said.
Yu Wenxuan was silent, and then explained: "The Bohai Kingdom is ready to move, and there is a possibility of war at any time. When the time comes, we will definitely lead our troops into battle. I'm afraid that if something happens, I won't be able to come back......"
"When did you become so unconfident?" Zhang Shaohua hugged Yu Wenxuan's shoulders from behind, "Doesn't someone often say that he is the best in the world in martial arts?" There are some things that if you can't grasp, you won't have a chance again. ”
After speaking, he sat on the other side of Yuwenxuan by the way.
