Chapter 17 Sending Relatives

Before leaving the palace, King Zhao Huiwen held a grand ceremony in the square in front of the palace. King Huiwen personally presided over the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth and ancestors, and after a few guys with hideous masks and nine moons miraculously shaved their hands and feet, they lay on the ground with a pendulum. I don't know if it's true or not, Yun Yue saw with her own eyes that they were foaming at the mouth.

You know, this is a world without soap laundry detergent, and it's still a technical task to make this thing. I don't know how they did it, but I'll have to ask when I have time.

King Huiwen walked up to the altar with a thick incense, solemnly inserted it in the ding, and recited words in his mouth. I couldn't hear what he was saying, probably begging for safety or something like that. Anyway, his daughter's happiness was not among his begging, and the queen made it clear that she wanted to kill Qimei. When she arrives at her home field in Qi Kingdom, Qimei will definitely not see the sun in next spring.

It was the Praetorian Guards who escorted Qimei to get married, which was the direct force of King Huiwen. The total number of people is only 5,000 people, and this time sending 5,000 at once is also a big deal for King Huiwen. It can be seen that King Huiwen cares a lot about this marriage, and the equipment of the Praetorian Guard seems to be better than those bearded sword knights of An Pingjun. In addition to the necessary halberds, bronze daggers, etc., they were also equipped with bows and small hand crossbows.

This kind of hand crossbow Yun Yue had seen before, and there was a hook behind the saddle. Once the crossbow is fired, it can be easily wound and is definitely a weapon for melee combat. However, how much range does such a soft crossbow have? Yun Yue still drew an arc in her heart!

In any case, Qimei's dowry is still rich enough. Ten palace maids and twenty chamberlains. Coupled with dozens of carts of silk and satin, gold and silver utensils, he bought things for his nephew anyway. How extravagant Queen Zhao came. King Huiwen, who was anxious to get the material support of the Qi State, didn't ask. Anyway, if he didn't move King Zhao's palace over, he knew in his heart that these gifts would be exchanged. It will be a mountain of grain, and fine equipment.

The state of Qi is located in the land of Shandong. It has the benefits of salt and iron. The land is fertile, and there is sea salt, which is a profitable income. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States, only the state of Chu can be compared with the state of Qi. However, Chu Kaolie was short-sighted. has been deceived by the Qin people many times, and the current power is no longer comparable to the Chu State during the Battle of Handan more than ten years ago.

King Zhao Huiwen seems to have climbed the turtle of a rich relative, and he is counting on these helpers to make Da Zhao glow with the majesty of the martial spirit king.

The long procession walked through the Handan City Gate under the scorching sun, and the windless weather made the flags on the car droop listlessly. It seems to foreshadow the helplessness of this marriage.

The head of the forbidden army is also a school captain, named Chengli, and when the three families were divided, he was a retainer of the Zhao family. For more than 100 years, the Cheng family has been loyally guarding the safety of the palace as the most trusted guard of the Great Zhao royal family.

"Captain. The brother was appreciated by the king and took on the errand of sending his relatives. Along the way, many places depend on you. If there is anything that my brother doesn't understand, I hope that the captain will give me a lot of advice. "Yun Yue was very polite to this captain, after all, he was going to die in two days. You're welcome. I can't get over it.

"Well said. Say! Brother Yun has something to do, even if he comes to the same brother, what is the captain or not the captain. We are all equals, and you and I are commensurate with each other. How old are you, and I want to call you a brother. I heard that your wine is good, but did you bring some? ”

This Chengli is a good talker, and he won Yun Yue's favor in two sentences. With such a person, Yun Yue is really a bit of a psychological burden.

"Hahaha! The Yun family's wine and food will naturally not disappoint the eldest brother, and today the eldest brother can come to the younger brother's camp to talk about it. The little brother must meet him! ”

"So it's bothering my brother!" Riding the force to hug Yun Yue's fist. And he urged the horse forward. shouted and commanded his subordinates, and marched forward in formation.

You can see it. This Chengli is not a talkative general like Zhao Kuo. These 500 forbidden military equipment are all cavalry, and they are divided into front teams, and the middle army also has rearguards. There are rangers on both sides to protect them, and there are scouts in front. Even behind him, there are rangers who fall behind to avoid being followed.

The whole team was well organized by him, and there was no confusion at all with five or six hundred people and dozens of carriages.

"My lord, this is not an ordinary force. He is the head of the ten captains of the Praetorian Guard, and it is said that he is not only excellent in swordsmanship. The marching array is also a first-class player, if it weren't for his ancestral training. The descendants have been guarding the safety of the Great Zhao royal family for generations, and they have long been sent out to be used as generals all the way. With someone like him, I'm afraid our affairs are a little tricky! "Lao Jiang has a wide range of contacts in the army, and his contacts are all elderly veterans.

There is nothing he can't inquire about in this big Zhao army, and Chengli has just accepted the military order of King Huiwen. Lao Jiang received the news, and when he inquired carefully, he felt a little hesitant.

"It's come to this point, and it's going to go no matter what. Handan, we can't go back......! "Yun Yue is a little melancholy! After all, Handan was the first big city he came into contact with after coming to the Warring States period. According to the standards of later generations, it may be larger than Tieling.

A large group of men and horses marched in the hot sun, and the chariots and horses kicked up and billowed smoke. Everyone was dressed in armor, and all of them were covered in sweat and dust, and all of them became clay figures. The sound of the saddling of the blade was endless, and Yun Yue wiped the sweat from her head. Looking at the scorching sun at noon, he shook his head helplessly and followed.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he ordered to set up camp. I ate two meals every year, one in the morning and one in the evening. The camping was to enclose the wagons and form a fortress. Then inside is the tent of the princess and the attendants of the palace, and shallow trenches will be dug on the outside. They will even find wood to make red deer. The work of camping is harder than marching.

Yun Yue is the envoy of the family, and is nominally the leader of this team. However, Yun Yue also knew that he could not command a single soldier in the team in front of him. Since the command is not moving, he simply should be a hands-off shopkeeper. His camp was naturally settled by Lao Jiang with people, and Yun Yue, who had nothing to do, walked around the camp.

This force is really unusual, and the place to camp is chosen to be close to the mountains and rivers. Even if you are besieged, you will not lose your water supply. What's more, he had a shallow ditch about two meters wide dug along the camp. It's not deep, but you'll always have to make a sound when you cross this puddle.

Such a picture appeared in Yun Yue's head, the camp thief stepping on the mud in the puddle in the silent night. "Crackling" rushing through the ditch, you can't be deaf when the whole team is deaf?

If she could sprinkle some thistle terrestris into it, Yun Yue felt that even if she had more than double the strength. I can't take the makeshift barracks in front of me.

Walking around with her hands behind her back, Yun Yue straightened her teeth. This camp is really well built, and the needle can't get into the water and splash it. The problem is that the outside can't get in, and Lao Tzu can't get out! You have to think of a way, this is too much force and you have to think of a way. At the very least, keep this guy bedridden.

"Captain Yun, Her Royal Highness the princess is invited!" A palace man found Yun Yue, who was wandering around, and gave a woman's gift.

Yun Yue is one head and two big, and they both tell this Nizi that she can't have contact on weekdays. If it arouses suspicion, it would be bad to focus on the embankment. But Qimei sent palace people to call her, but she couldn't help but go, so Yun Yue could only follow this little palace person to Qimei's big tent.

Qimei's big tent is the largest in the whole team, covering an area of more than 20 square meters. It is also divided into two rooms inside and outside with a curtain, although it is not luxurious, but it can be called atmospheric.

Incense was lit in the tent, and the windows were covered with curtains. There are swarms of flies and mosquitoes outside, and when they get here, they turn around and leave. Aside from being a little stuffy, it's a paradise.

"Save Xiaoqing!" Qimei almost pounced and took Yun Yue's hand. His eyes were full of helplessness and hope!

Xiaoqing's body curled up on the ground, and the burning candle flame made the temperature here seem to be a little high. Her clothes had been stripped off, and she was naked. However, at this time, Xiaoqing couldn't care about being shy, because she had a high fever and was confused.

The wound on his back was shocking, and it looked like it had been hit with a blunt object. The muscles cracked open like a child's mouth, revealing the bones of Bai Mori inside. The buttocks are even more miserable, there is hardly a piece of good meat, and the whole buttocks are bruised and swollen like two basketballs.

"Who did this!" Yun Yue's eyes widened, who could be so vicious to a soft and weak little woman. It's a terrible summer day. It was still the most painful way to die, and Yun Yue was immediately angry.

"Who else? Queen! She said, I can't get married. Then beat my maid, Xiaoqing's injury was for me. Qimei said and Yingying burst into tears. Xiaoqing was assigned to serve Qimei at the age of five or six, and she has already been a sister these years.

I unconsciously came to Yunyue just now, just to find someone close to me to talk about the bitterness in my heart. Seeking a modicum of comfort and taking care of your pain is entirely subconscious. The medical officer had already come, and he just shook his head after seeing Xiaoqing's injuries. Such a serious injury not only hurt the muscles and bones, but also had bruises in the body. The high fever alone was enough to kill her.

"Zheng Bin, bring my package." Yun Yue walked out and shouted at Zheng Bin outside.

Qimei's eyes lit up, and she pulled Yun Yue's arm with both hands. "Can you save Xiaoqing? You'll be able to save her, won't you? "The big beautiful eyes are fanning, and every time you blink, a crystal tear rolls down your cheeks.

"Uh......! Cough! Yun Yue coughed helplessly, there are still a few palace people here. Qimei is obviously confused, this is not good.

"Stand down!" Qimei immediately woke up and immediately commanded in a deep voice. Yun Yue was so worried that she almost covered her head, so let them stay like this! Wouldn't it be more eye-catching to get out?

"Your Royal Highness! It's better to let them stay, and someone needs to help them for a while. (To be continued......)
