Chapter 46 [Step by Step] (II)
Nie Gongliang, forty-one years old, medium stature, clear appearance, showing an elegant temperament between his hands and feet, he is gorgeously dressed and extraordinary, accompanied by Ju Wu, he walked into the camp tent, and said respectfully: "Minister Nie Gongliang See Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess!" ”
Ji and Yue smiled and said, "Why is King Changsi so polite, sit!" ”
Nie Gongliang sat down across from me, smiled at me, he should have known my identity from Ju Wu's mouth, and said politely: "Good Commander Lu!" ”
I clasped my fists at him and said, "See King Changsi!" "Actually, I don't have any good impression of Nie Gongliang, last time he and Wu Qi teamed up to abduct and sell people's girls, in Cang'er Mountain, I almost fell into his hands, this person violated the Yue King Gou Jianyang and Yin, it must not be a good thing, but he is a good person by looking at his face, if I don't know his details, maybe I will have a good impression of him.

Ji and Yue asked Qi Yan to serve fragrant tea to a few of us, and said softly: "My father asked me to try to keep a low profile along the way, so as not to disturb the officials and people on the way, but I didn't expect that I still didn't hide it from King Changsi after all." ”
Nie Gongliang said with a smile: "It's not a secret, since the seventh princess set off from the national capital, I have been paying attention to the princess's movements, your team has just come to the boundary of Licheng, I already know, originally I wanted to invite the princess into the city to rest, but then I thought about it or respect the princess's own meaning." ”
Ji Youyue smiled and said, "There is a trip to King Lao Changsi." ”
Nie Gongliang smiled and said: "I didn't mean to disturb the princess's tranquility, after your team leaves Licheng, you will enter the Yunluo Mountain Range, where the forests are dense and wild beasts are infested, I specially came to present the map to the princess, so that your journey will be smoother." ”
Ji and Yue sighed softly: "It turns out that the gift that King Changsi gave me was a map?" ”
King Changsi smiled: "The princess hasn't seen my gift yet? ”
Ji and Yue smiled: "I haven't had time to see it yet!" King Changsi has already arrived! ”
King Changsi laughed, and he asked, "Do you want to see the map I sent now, princess?" ”
Ji and Yue nodded.
Nie Gongliang raised his hands and clapped them crisply, and a tall young warrior strode in from outside the tent, knelt down in front of Ji and Yue, and said, "Ge Feng, see Your Majesty the Seventh Princess!" ”
When I saw the appearance of the young warrior clearly, my heart was shocked, the young warrior in front of me turned out to be the one who chased me and Xie Qing in Cang'er Mountain, he was excellent in archery, if it wasn't for Chun Ge to remind me in time, I would have died under his arrow, my heart was pounding, I couldn't imagine that this world was so small, and I would meet him here, but remembering the last time my face was painted with ink and vermilion lacquer, he shouldn't have recognized me.
Ji and Yue were surprised: "The map you said is him?" ”
Nie Gongliang laughed and said: "The princess guessed right, Ge Feng grew up in the Yunluo Mountains since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the terrain there. ”
I secretly screamed, this guy looks like he's going to be in our team for a while, I'll have to watch out for him in the future.
Ge Feng knelt beside King Changsi, his eyes looked at me, I looked at him calmly, and took the initiative to smile in a friendly manner. Ge Feng smiled, but his eyes were still fixed on mine, and somehow, I felt as if he recognized me.
Nie Gongliang stayed for a short time and left, it seemed that he came this time only out of courtesy.
The few of us dispersed, and I came to Dai Kaishan and Bird Huo, who had just roasted the hare, and hurriedly beckoned me over to enjoy it.
I sat down cross-legged by the campfire, took a rabbit leg handed over by Dai Kaishan, sniffed it, and praised: "I didn't expect Kaishan to have this hand." ”
Dai Kaishan said with a smile: "Childe, my younger brother and I grew up in the mountains and forests when I was a child. ”
A hearty laugh sounded behind him: "Commander Lu is so comfortable!" ”
I turned around to look, but it was Ge Feng who came over, I pointed to my side and said, "General Ge sit together!" ”
Ge Feng smiled and said: "I'm not a general, everyone just calls me Ge Feng!" ”
Dai Kaishan twisted a rabbit leg and wanted to give it to him, Ge Feng said: "Give me the rabbit head!" ”
Dai Kaishan smiled and unscrewed the rabbit head and threw it to Ge Feng, Ge Feng took the rabbit head and said with a smile: "Good archery, an arrow runs through both eyes, but it's a pity that I don't have a complete rabbit eye to eat." ”
Bird Huo smiled: "Let Brother Ge laugh, my archery skills are not successful, it's just a coincidence." ”
I have seen Ge Feng's archery skills, and I know that he is also a master of using arrows, is he deliberately asking for a rabbit head, the real intention is to check the strength of Bird Huo, and I can't help but be more wary of Ge Feng in my heart.
Dai Kaishan opened the wine jar and filled it in three wine bowls, one of which was given to me, and the other to Ge Feng, who shared one with Bird Huo.
It could be seen that Ge Feng had a lot of wine, so he dried three bowls in a row, wiped the corners of his lips and said: "I ate your wine and meat today, and when I enter Yunluo Mountain tomorrow, I will invite you back." ”
I smiled and said, "Why should Brother Ge be so polite, just think that tonight is a little ceremony for us to welcome you in." ”
Ge Feng is talkative, if you put aside the impression I have in the past, this person is a friend who can be made, he and Dai Kaishan Bird Huo are also quite close to each other, until a jar of wine is drunk, he will not leave, Ju Wu will arrange his camp tent near himself, it seems that there should be some relationship between Ju Wu and King Changsi, maybe the itinerary of the seventh princess is exposed by Ju Wu.
Looking at Ge Feng's distant back, I whispered to Bird Huo: "Bird Huo, you help me keep an eye on his actions, since this person is sent by King Changsi, it must not be so simple." ”
Bird Huo nodded and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely find out his purpose as soon as possible." ”
I got up and walked towards the camp, and saw Kaoli leading ten samurai to patrol around the princess's tent, I nodded to Kaoli with satisfaction, returned to his camp, lit the candle, I couldn't help but sigh, but suddenly heard light footsteps behind the screen, I was slightly stunned, Huo Ran took out the bronze sword and rushed over at full speed, the bronze sword pointed at the black shadow, and was about to speak.
I saw that the figure slowly turned around, and it turned out to be the seventh princess Ji and Yue in the costumes of the palace maids, I was shocked, how did she slip out from under the noses of some of the samurai in Kaoli? It seems that there is a big lapse in my vigilance work.
Ji and Yue bit Sakura's lip lightly, pushed away my bronze sword, and threw herself into my arms.
I whispered, "Did anyone see you coming in?" ”
Ji Youyue shook her head and said, "Qi Yan and I changed our dresses, and now she stays in the tent and pretends to be me!" ”
I reprimanded her in a low voice: "Nonsense, if people see it, wouldn't it be a big trouble?" ”
Ji and Yuejiao smiled: "Even if others see it, they must think that you and Qi Yan are cheating, and it can't be counted on my head." The water rippled in the phoenix's eyes.
I lightly slapped her pretty face and said in a low voice: "Little girl, just now I deliberately made me kneel in the tent, and I didn't give you a man's face at all!" ”
Ji and Yuejiao said in a loud voice: "Little turtle...... How are you going to punish people......" The slender hand gently ripped open Luo's skirt, and the long skirt slowly slipped down her satin-like skin,
The candle shadow shook red, and the affectionate eyes of Ji and Yue stared at me for a long time, whispering my name repeatedly.
"It's time for me to go......" Hi and Yue said reluctantly.
I nodded, reluctant to let her go, but knowing that she shouldn't stay here for long.
Ji and Yue silently put on a long skirt and combed their long hair, I wrapped around her slender waist from behind, she raised her head back, and her cherry lips kissed me lightly on the lips: "Qi Yan has followed me since she was a child, she won't talk nonsense." ”
I whispered: "It's better to be careful in the future, I'm afraid that the guide sent by King Changsi is not so simple." ”
Ji Youyue turned around and straightened my collar for me, and said softly: "I know, but I can't control myself......"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, I suddenly pulled her into my arms and whispered in her ear: "Qiqi, why don't you give me a chance, and give you a chance!" ”
Ji Youyue smiled sadly: "We still have a chance!" ”
I walked out of the tent and was sure that no one was paying attention, which is why I let Ji and Yue leave.
Ji and Yue walked towards her tent without panic, and Kaoli soon saw her and asked in a low voice, "Is it Miss Qi Yan?" ”
Ji and Yue replied calmly.
I walked over slowly, and when Kaoli saw me, he made way for Ji and Yue, and came to me with a smile and said, "Childe hasn't slept yet?" ”
"Can't sleep!" I'm telling you the truth.
Kaoli looked up at the starless night sky and said, "It looks like it might rain tomorrow." ”
He originally lived in Cang'er Mountain, so he must have some confidence in observing the weather. I exclaimed in a low voice, "It seems that the next road is not easy. ”
Kaoli laughed: "Childe seems to be full of worries recently, and I have never seen you feel so depressed. ”
I patted him on the shoulder.
"Childe, go back and rest early, don't worry about leaving it to me here!"
I nodded, and then walked to my tent.
The next morning, I got up early, and the military life of several days had quietly changed my biological clock, and after washing, I walked out of the tent, but I saw Ji and Yue standing in front of the tent accompanied by Qi Yan, looking in my direction. I smiled at her, turned to look to the right, but saw Ju Wu directing the soldiers to dismantle the camp, and I didn't think that I was already a late one.
Although it was early in the morning, there was no sign of the rising sun, and the clouds in the sky were very low, and the light became dim because of this, and it looked like a mountain rain was about to come.
I walked towards Ju Wu, and Ju Wu saw me and greeted me: "Deputy Commander Lu, get ready, let's go immediately!" ”
I pointed to the sky and said, "General Ju is going to brave the rain to advance?" ”
Ge Feng's voice sounded from behind him: "I'm afraid that this rain will last for a long time, if there is still time, we can go to Licheng first to pause for a while, and wait for three or five days to estimate that this autumn rain can pass." ”
I couldn't help but frown: "This rain will fall for that long?" ”
Ge Feng nodded.
Ju Wu said: "Let's hurry up, if you can't arrive in Yingdu within half a month, I'm afraid that it will delay the princess's wedding, and you and I can't afford it!" ”
I had no choice but to nod and return to my queue, where the tent had been closed and I was escorted by my warriors around the chariots and horses of the Seventh Princess, Yue and the palace maids.
During this time, my riding skills have also made a substantial leap through exercise, and Dai Kaishan and I are guarding on both sides of Ji and Yue's car.
After the team was lined up, Ge Feng led six soldiers to march on horseback at the front, and the group slowly walked along the avenue to the west of Yueguo.
Ji and Yue quietly opened the curtain, looked at me affectionately with a pair of wonderful eyes, and whispered, "General Lu, are you tired?" ”
Because I was surrounded by my cronies, I naturally had a lot less worries, and I punned on it: "For the sake of the princess, no matter how tired you are, you are willing." ”
Ji and Yueqiao's faces were crimson, she heard the meaning of my words, her lips opened slightly, made a kiss gesture to me, and then quickly lowered the curtain.
My heart is hot, and my feelings for this charming seventh princess are becoming more and more difficult to let go. He said loudly: "Brothers, all cheer me up!" ”
The surrounding samurai responded loudly at the same time, causing Ju Wu in front of him to turn his head and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
The smooth road did not last long, and after about ten miles of progress, the road began to become rough and the road surface became narrow. At this time, the clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower, and an autumn rain is coming.
Although just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has been cool and killing, the autumn wind blows off the dead leaves from the big trees on both sides of the road, like golden butterflies flying in the air from time to time, the autumn rain is coming silently, the rain is not big, the cow's hair-like rain is blowing densely and turningly, and soon our bodies and faces will be wet.
The carriage has been fully prepared for rain, and they don't have to worry about getting wet. The ground was soon soaked with the autumn rains, and it began to become muddy, and the movement of the vehicles became extremely difficult.
As soon as they entered the Yunluo Mountains, Ji and Yue's car fell into the mud, and the four healthy horses pulled forward desperately, but after several efforts, they still did not succeed in pulling the car out.
I jumped off my horse first, asked the samurai to fetch a few flat rocks from the side, put them in front of the wheels, and led my samurai to push the carriage up. The carriage had just been pushed up, and the carriage behind it that was responsible for escorting the dry rations had sunk in again. The trip had to slow down.
At noon, we only traveled about three miles in the mountain road at the entrance of Yunluo Mountain.
The rain was still falling endlessly, and there was white vapor floating in my field of vision, and I couldn't even see the front of the team from my position, Ji and Yue couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and said softly: "Why is this mountain road so difficult to walk?" ”
Dai Kaishan said: "This is the only way to lead from Yue to Chu, there is no other way to choose. ”
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, and then I saw a soldier coming from the front, who saluted me and gave me an order: "Commander Ju said that we can rest for a while on the hillside ahead, and continue our departure in an hour." ”
I nodded, and told Dai Kaishan to give the order to the rear, escorting the princess's car to the hillside where she was resting. All the soldiers rested on the spot, and after the men distributed dry rations, they quickly began to eat. Since the last time they had an argument, these men have not dared to treat my samurai slowly.
I took the steamed bun sent by Bird Huo and took a bite, I am afraid that there will be a long time before this kind of meal and sleeping in the open.
Qi Yan, the palace maid of Ji and Yue, came to my side, took advantage of no one's attention, stuffed an object into my hand, and then winked at me and quietly left.
I opened my palm to see that it was a few candied fruits, my heart did not feel warm, I looked up at the carriage of Ji and Yue, and saw Yiren looking at me with pity, for some reason, I suddenly couldn't suppress my inner emotions, avoided Ji and Yue's gaze, and strode to the side of the woods, but I was reluctant to eat those candied fruits, and quietly stored them in the placket.
A figure flashed out of the woods, and I was slightly startled: "Who is it?" ”
"It's me! Son! It turned out that it was Kaoli who came out of the forest, and he came to my side, looked around, and whispered, "Childe, I went to the convenience just now, but I found something. ”
"What's that?" When I saw his solemn expression, my heart suddenly became heavy.
Kaulie glanced at me, went into the woods, came to a large tree not far away, and pointed to the trunk, and I looked where he was pointing, and saw a diagonal triangle mark on the trunk, apparently carved with a sharp object.
