Chapter 294: Wanyan Lingyue is gone
The next day, after the army was counted, Bai Shengrui, the king of Zhennan, led the team to prepare to set off.
Zai Cheng Guan Yang led hundreds of civil and military officials to practice in front of the Hongwu Gate of the Imperial City.
Bai Shengrui was wearing a golden armor, a red dragon pattern, and a golden feather helmet, he held a glazed jade cup on behalf of the Son of Heaven after the ceremony, he threw the cup and the flag, and the soldiers immediately shouted excitedly "The Western Zhou Dynasty will win, long live the Western Zhou". The high-pitched voice penetrates the mountains and rivers.
Zai Cheng Guan Yang stepped forward and saluted Bai Shengrui with a fist, wishing him an early victory.
Bai Shengrui smiled, sincerely admonished Guan Yang, then jumped on the war horse, and led the mighty army to set off amid the thunderous war drums.
Ten thousand troops marched together, their steps were neat, and the huge momentum rolled up the flying dust in the sky, so that the golden crow hanging high for nine days was also shocked and shy.
The golden red shadow Bai Shengrui walked in the middle of the long procession, and behind him were two imperial carriages heavily guarded, and in them were the princess of Zhennan, Wanyan Lingyue, and the princess Jingyun.
This expedition was in a hurry, and Wanyan Lingyue didn't have time to go to the Spring Breeze Ruyi Building to inform her, but she had already quietly told Honglian that after her body recovered, she would often go back to the building to help Ji Xi.
As for staring at Su Rinye, it was still up to Ji Xi to do it, but Wanyan Lingyue also knew that after Bai Shengrui led the team out of the city, Su Rinye would definitely not continue to shrink in the Spring Breeze Ruyi Building.
He will definitely look for an opportunity to get out and immediately rush back to Yan Guo to plan Yan Guo's next move. However, Yan Lingyue couldn't tell if Su Rin would insist on cutting off the temporary peace between Yan and Zhou and going to help the eastern army of the Buqi Division.
However, seeing that Bai Shengrui always had a calm and calm expression, Wanyan Lingyue also felt that there was no need to worry.
After all, Princess Jingyun is in her hands, even if Yan Guo wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, you have to worry about their princess.
The long march was extremely hard, and in order to get to the front battlefield as soon as possible, the large army walked for a whole day.
Wanyan Lingyue sat in the carriage, almost shattering the bones around her body. Rao is Bai Shengrui was worried that her journey would be uncomfortable, and he had ordered someone to add brocade quilts and cushions and other things to her car in advance, but it was still a drop in the bucket and could not relieve her pain at all.
However, in order not to add an extra burden to Bai Shengrui, she endured silently all the way without the slightest complaint.
However, Princess Jingyun, who was sitting in the carriage behind, was delicate and expensive and couldn't stand the toss, and shouted several times to stop and rest, Bai Shengrui took care of her at first, and ordered the troops to rest and repair, but later she was too noisy and simply ignored it.
On this day, after the army marched in a hurry, they rushed to Molonggang in Tiejia Mountain before nightfall, and Bai Shengrui ordered to camp in this place. After he supervised the construction of the camp tent, he ordered the guards to invite Yan Lingyue to rest in the main camp tent.
Not long after the guards left, they hurriedly turned back, and said with a panicked face that they had not found Yan Lingyue.
"What?" Bai Shengrui stood up from the tiger skin chair with a startled cry, panicked under his hands, and the topographic map he was holding also fell to the ground.
He hurried out of the tent and summoned a group of guards to follow him in search of him.
The deputy marshal beside him hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "The prince can order his subordinates to find it, you are the commander of the army, you can't leave the camp easily." ”
Bai Shengrui still heard this, and after worrying about Yan Lingyue's safety, he led people into the wilderness outside the army camp without looking back.
The deputy marshal watched Bai Shengrui's snow-white shadow disappear into the vast night, and stomped his feet anxiously and helplessly.
In the distance, Princess Jingyun watched all this indifferently, a sneer gradually appeared on her lips, and a smug energy secretly rose in her heart.
She knew where Wanyan Lingyue was now, but she didn't want to tell the truth, she was still waiting to see the follow-up show.
At this time, Wanyan Lingyue was collecting the withered straw in the field, and she didn't know that Bai Shengrui had mistakenly thought that she was missing and was in a hurry.
Wanyan Lingyue collected these dead grasses in order to put them in the car so that she could sit more comfortably, she didn't want to bother Bai Shengrui because of these trivial things, so when she saw Bai Shengrui urging the officers and soldiers to set up tents, she quietly came to the field alone.
Before coming, she was seen by Princess Jingyun, and Princess Jingyun almost asked her, "Sister, where are you going?" ”
Wanyan Lingyue didn't hide it, so she told the truth.
When Princess Jingyun heard this, she smiled and said, "Then sister might as well find some for me too." Sitting in the car for the past two days, the skeleton around me was about to be scattered by the bumps. ”
"Why don't you go yourself?" Wanyan Lingyue was very dissatisfied with Jing Yun's ready-made attitude, even if she was born as a princess, she didn't do any hard work, and this little thing needed someone to do it for her, which was too contemptible.
Jing Yun pretended not to see Yan Lingyue's dissatisfaction and contempt, and said Jiao Didi, "My sister knows kung fu, but Jing Yun is just a weak woman, if she encounters something in the wilderness, she will become a burden to her sister." ”
Wanyan Lingyue heard that she was making excuses, but thinking about it, it was just a gesture, and she had already agreed in her heart, but she still said coldly, "Since you don't want to go, I won't force it, but if the prince asks for a while, please help inform me." ”
"Of course." Jing Yun smiled lightly and promised very sincerely.
After Yan Lingyue left, Jing Yun turned around with a sneer and secretly returned to her carriage. It's a joke to ask her to inform Bai Shengrui.
Since then, she has been waiting, because of Yan Lingyue's "disappearance", it has made the time for chickens and dogs to jump in the barracks.
Bai Shengrui led people with torches in the wilderness, eagerly looking for the traces of Wanyan Lingyue. The vines and grass are lightly fluttering, rustling by the wind, and under the cover of night, it seems that there is an infinite danger lurking inside.
The more Bai Shengrui searched, the more anxious he became, he had already searched for countless seemingly suspicious places, and often showed a disappointed expression at the moment when he cleared the grass.
In his eagerness, he roared loudly, and the voice of "Wanyan Lingyue ......" penetrated far away.
At this time, Wanyan Lingyue had already collected a sufficient amount of withered grass and was about to return to her, when she suddenly heard someone calling for her.
She began to think that she had heard it wrong, but gradually realized that something was wrong, although the voice was far away from her, it sounded very anxious, especially like Bai Shengrui's voice.
Could it be that Bai Shengrui is anxious to find himself? How is it possible, didn't Jing Yun already promise herself to tell Bai Shengrui about her whereabouts? Didn't she say it?
Thinking of this, Wanyan Lingyue slammed the bundle of withered grass in her hand, touched the sweat on her head angrily, and then responded loudly to Bai Shengrui, who was shouting at her in the distance.
Bai Shengrui was already on the verge of despair, when he suddenly heard Yan Lingyue's response, he immediately turned around, and without even greeting the guards, he ran in the direction where the voice came.
Along the way, his hand was cut by thorn plants, and he didn't even realize it. He just wanted to find Wan Yan Lingyue quickly, see if she was injured, and then take her back to the camp unscathed.
After running a few hundred meters, he saw Wanyan Lingyue waiting for him in the half-human-tall artemisia grass.
