"Can you still walk?"

"I have a big blister on my foot, it hurts terribly, how are you?"

"It's a prairie, but it's all gravel and gravel, and the soles of my shoes have long been worn out."

"Why, you're still waiting for new shoes."

"If only I could be like these two in the car, as long as I don't walk, I'm not afraid to go anywhere."

"Then you should be a horse archer, the crotch is more noisy on the horse, and you can shoot arrows."

"Don't underestimate me, I've ridden a horse, I almost didn't fall off, I don't dare to ride anymore, I'm afraid when I think about it."

"Hey! Look! The soldier with the halberd looked into the distance and shouted cheerfully at his companion.

I saw a war horse coming from a distance in the rear, and galloped to the front.

The two looked at the billowing smoke and dust rolling up behind the black horse, looked at each other's immature faces that were extremely incommensurate with this military dress, smiled at each other, jumped into the carriage, and sat on it.

The tall cart walked in the last array of the long journey, which was the team responsible for the logistics and supply of the 50,000-strong army, their ox carts and wagons were loaded with baggage, grain and grass, and carried thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen, including of course the only two women in the vast marching procession.

No one knew what kind of woman was carrying on the big red-roofed tent and high cart, and there was no woman looking around on the small windows on both sides for people to imagine and guess, no one would ask, but for the soldiers who walked in front of them and were responsible for escorting grain and grass, they were the most mysterious people in the whole marching procession, and the ones who could make their eyes turn freely with the swaying wheels. The high-hood cart they were riding in became the only scenery they could see from afar when they were tired and collapsed on the ground after a day of running.

The big orange wheels in the distance gradually thinned out, and the high cart slowed down, and I don't know which mouthy person began to spread the news of the army's morale again, and the front-end team had already buried the pot by the river to make rice, set up a high bonfire, and ate the delicious lamb on the grassland, and said that the lamb was mellow and delicious, sticky and tough, and a mouthful of fragrant oil stains was enough to lick for a night.

The remaining remnant of the sun still shrouded the land magnificently, and the men next to the high cart quickened their pace after receiving the fragrant but not too definite news, and the tall cart seemed to be getting faster and faster under their encirclement, and sped forward against the cold wind of the night.

Two fast horses turned over from the front team, and from the marching posture of the horses and the movements of the riders flicking the whips, they could feel that it should not be the Han army.

The two raised their vigilance and stood up, and the two women reined in the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, looked left and right around the high cart, and asked the soldiers on the cart, "Who is in the cart?" ”

When the soldier saw that both of them were dressed in Hu clothes, he asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”

When the woman heard the voice, she showed her waist card and said, "The marching general Lan Ruoxue is exact, this is my sister Lan Shuyu." ”

Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, and replied, "Two generals, there are two women pulling in this car. ”

Ruoxue was surprised: "Woman! What kind of woman? ”

The soldier replied: "It was General Huang who asked the two women to carry with the army. ”

Ruoxue said: "I heard from the soldiers that there were two women in the marching procession who were brought out of the palace the night before the army set out, are they?" ”

"I don't know, it's better for the general to ask her two in person." The soldier shook his head and shouted into the car again. "Two sisters, General Mulan has something to ask you, come out quickly."

Before long, two delicate women dressed in black veils and the same palace clothes slowly walked out of the canopy, and made a shallow blessing to Ruoxue and Shuyu, and sat on the edge of the car.

Ruoxue looked at them in surprise, this kind of woman is something that women who grow up in the wilderness and grassland have never seen and dare not imagine, they look very young, but they should also be similar to themselves, elegant and elegant, charming and weak, and her gestures clearly reveal a bit of cold and lonely royal temperament, she came back to her senses, added a horsewhip, and shouted at the woman: "Are you the palace maids in the palace?" ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled, nodded lightly at the two slightly surprised women on the horse, and said softly: "We are the lady of the lamp in the forbidden palace." ”

"The Lady of the Lamp? What is a Lady in the Palm of the Light? Soyu asked.

"The Lady of the Lamp... It is the woman who holds the palace lamp in the forbidden palace, and is a lamp that illuminates the splendid palace. The woman paused, answering the question.

"What kind of life is there in the palace, is it better than in the grassland?" Ruoxue and Shuyu gently pinched the horse's belly from time to time, walked side by side with the high cart, and asked with a frown.

"There are rules in the palace, just get used to it." The woman looked at the two curious horses and replied, and replied with a faint smile mixed with a hint of sadness and helplessness.

"What's your name?" The woman on the horse asked.

"My name is Xiao Jie, she is younger than me, her name is Xiao Yu." Xiao Jie glanced at Xiao Yu and replied to the woman on the horse.

"We are the wild wolves on the grassland, the natural enemies of the Huns, the descendants of the Xianbei King Tanshi Huai, my name is Fulan Ruoxue, she is my sister Fulan Shuyu, the grassland you are passing by now used to belong to the Mulan family, I still remember that there was no trace of dust here at that time, it was all green aquatic plants..."Ruoxue looked at the bleak barren grass hidden in the sporadic afterglow in the distance, and sighed.

"I've heard others say that women on the grassland are not afraid of men!" Xiao Jie asked weakly.

Ruoxue smiled: "It depends on what kind of man it is, whether it's worth being afraid of!" ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, except for my father, the two of them are the first men we have ever met." Xiao Jie clasped her hands on her knees, and pointed to the two soldiers who were driving the carriage with her fingers, and said weakly.

"Your voice is nice and clean, and you're sure to meet good men." Ruoxue shouted.

"Two good sisters, do you know where we're going?" Xiao Yu asked.

"To the north, far to the north, there is a huge city waiting to be taken!" Ruoxue replied.

"A huge city... Go and occupy... So when will we be back? Xiao Yu asked anxiously.

"If you win the battle, maybe you won't come back." Ruoxue smiled.

"But if we don't go back, the chief will definitely kill us!" Xiao Yu frowned and glanced at Xiao Jie, and said hurriedly.

"Waiter? Who is the chief chamberlain? Ruoxue asked.

"It's the eunuch in the palace, he is specially here to torture us palace maids, and he will be punished if he makes a mistake." Xiao Yu said.

"Hahaha... This is the grassland, 100,000 miles away from your palace, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the heavens and the earth are vast, and now no one can control you, here you are..."Ruoxue replied with a laugh, and took out two jerky sticks from the cloth bag in front of the saddle and handed them to the two of them.

Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu endured the fishy taste at Ruoxue's suggestion, and chewed on the firm air-dried beef, which made Ruoxue and Shuyu laugh.

Ruoxue shouted: "Come with us, I have a big tent, we live together at night, and it is easy to talk." ”

When the woman heard the sound, she stopped her hard movements, and looked at the soldier in front of her with an embarrassed expression, not daring to answer.

Ruoxue was about to step forward, but the soldier was also well-behaved, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "The two girls just don't make it difficult for us, get on the horse quickly, and return to this high cart during the day." ”

The two got off the car and got on the horse, and after the two and four people slowly walked forward for a while, Ruoxue and Shuyu were not very panicked when they saw her straddle the horse's back, they should have been able to ride the horse, and they clamped the horse's belly and added a few whips, and Fei also ran forward.
