Chapter 20: The Attack I
Inn.
"Princess." An older official, who looked to be in his early fifties and dressed in Ryuji costume, knocked on Yue'er's door. Xiaolan went to open the door.
"Lord Takamu." After seeing the person who came, Xiaolan saluted.
"Well, I'm here to talk to the princess about something." Takamu nodded to Xiaolan in response, and then said to the house, "Princess, can the old minister come in?" ”
At this time, Yue'er had already walked to the door, and when she saw Takamu, she smiled: "Uncle Takamu, come in and talk." ”
"Okay." Takamu bowed to Yue'er and then entered the room.
This Takamu was the head of the mission and a confidant of the king of Ryuji. His daughter has a very good relationship with Yue'er, so he also loves Yue'er. This time in Da Zhou, he was the only one who had the complete trust of King Liuji.
After taking his seat, Takamu spoke: "Princess, the person who came to greet us just now is Prince Xi and the Black Feather Army under his command. It seems that Da Zhou attaches great importance to this peace affair and sends the prince to greet him, which has never happened since the founding of Da Zhou. ”
"Listening to Mokado, in addition to Prince Xi, the other two are the military advisor and deputy marshal of the Black Feather Army. It is rumored that the three of them are deeply favored by the Great Zhou Emperor, and they are not very old, about twenty years old. Today, Lao Chen observed that these three people have a steady atmosphere and atmospheric demeanor, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they deserve the reputation of young heroes. ”
"Although Da Zhou has never said who the object of the kiss is, according to the old minister's opinion, nine times out of ten it is His Royal Highness the King of Xi."
Yue'er suddenly fell silent and nodded slightly. Takamu can also see that Yue'er is actually reluctant to marry Da Zhou deep down, for this young girl, he can always see the shadow of his daughter, as a parent, who doesn't want their children to be safe and happy in their lives, who is willing to marry their own pearl thousands of miles away. No matter how reluctant the king of Ryuji is, he must give up his small family for the sake of the whole country. And Takamu is just a courtier, he sympathizes with Yue'er, but he can't change anything.
Suddenly, Yue'er raised her head and looked at Takam, her beautiful face against the backdrop of those misty eyes, which made me even more pitiful. As if she had thought of something terrible, she asked in a somewhat hurried tone, "Uncle Takam, do you know the name of Prince Naxi?" ”
Takamu said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenxuan." The princess asked what this was for? ”
Seeing Yu Wenxuan today, Yue'er just glanced at it casually, because she was a noble person and a woman, so she didn't talk to Yu Wenxuan. No one had ever told Prince Yue'erxi's name before, so she naturally didn't know. After all, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and at first glance, it is difficult to find the shadow of the past.
"It's okay, just ask. Uncle Takam, you have to go early tomorrow morning, so go back and rest. Yue'er's tone was calm.
"Okay, the old minister retires. Her Royal Highness the Princess also rested early. Takamu stood up and saluted Yue'er, then walked out of the house and closed the door.
After Takamu left, the tears that were deeply hidden in Yue'er's eyes finally fell, and the tears did not continue to flow as if the thread was broken, but a drop fell from each eye, playfully leaving on Yue'er's cheeks.
"In this way, Prince Naxi is likely to be the husband of our princess. Well...... The instrument is extraordinary, the appearance is dignified, not bad, and the princess is a good match. Xiaolan laughed.
"Princess, why are you crying?" Xiao Lan, who was still joking with Yue'er just now, suddenly panicked when she saw the droplets on Yue'er's face.
"It's okay." Yue'er smiled, and her touching smile was like a ray of light, dispelling all the previous haze.
Next. It's time to set off. Yu Wenxuan assembled his troops early in the morning, led by Zhang Shaohua and Wei Chuan, and waited outside the city. He himself took a hundred light horses at the door of the post house. After the envoys of the Ryuji Kingdom came out, they all saluted Yuwenxuan one by one. Then those who should get on the horse get on the horse, and those who should get on the car get on the car.
It's different. Yue'er came out of the post house, and her eyes never left Yu Wenxuan.
Two figures gradually appeared in her mind, one was Yu Wenxuan when she was a child, and the other was Yu Wenxuan now. Although she can't remember Yu Wenxuan's appearance when she was a child, Yue'er still sees that Yu Wenxuan's appearance has changed a lot.
When he grew up, Brother Xuan was so handsome, and he was so majestic after wearing armor. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Wenxuan, who was sitting on a horse, also peeked at her from time to time after Yue'er came out. When Yue'er smiled, although through the veil, the smile still showed from her eyebrows. And at this moment, she happened to be looking at Yu Wenxuan.
The moment the two looked at each other, it seemed that even time had stopped. Not just a moment later, but also eternal, Yue'er's heartbeat suddenly slowed down, she was the first to react, and quickly lowered her head, her face behind the veil was already blushing. However, Yu Wenxuan's heart was beating faster and faster, and his hands were not only trembling slightly from nervousness and excitement, but even became cold. watched Yue'er get into the carriage blankly.
"Haoxuan, we can go." Tian Shaotu was next to Yu Wenxuan, of course he saw the end from the beginning to the end, and reminded Yu Wenxuan at this time, first, that he could indeed go, and second, he wanted to save Yu Wenxuan's slight gaffe just now.
"Huh?" Yu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Tian Shaofu.
"Let's go." Tian Shaotu said cautiously.
"Hmm!" Yu Wenxuan glanced at Tian Shaotu solemnly, and then ordered: "Go!" ”
The hundred cavalry of the Black Feather Army who were waiting at the entrance of the post house with Yu Wenxuan followed closely behind Yu Wenxuan and walked out of the city. Takamu looked at Yu Wenxuan in front of him, and thought to himself: He won't just bring such a few people, right?
Because when he went to Yingliuji State Mission yesterday, Yu Wenxuan only brought a hundred cavalry. When Mokado went to the barracks to see Yu Wenxuan that day, most of the people went out to look for Yu Wenxuan, and they didn't see much. That's why Takam has such doubts.
Before leaving the city, Takamu finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, there is a sentence below that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
"Please." Yu Wenxuan smiled politely.
"According to the Great Zhou etiquette, marriage with a foreign kingdom requires at least 1,000 elite soldiers, but you ......" Takamu's tone and expression were full of worry.
After all, it is the princess of Liuji Kingdom that he wants to protect this time, and it may be the princess of Prince Xi in the future. If there are really only these 100 people, putting aside the attitude towards their own country, there is no way to guarantee the safety of this princess. Takam was disgruntled and uneasy in his heart.
Seeing Takamu's inner thoughts, Tian Shaotu did not rush to explain, but asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency, do you know the prestige of my Black Feather Army?" ”
