Chapter 49: Night in a Small Town (I)

Fuwei is a small city between Yue and Chu, located in the middle of nowhere, and the area of the city is too small, although it belongs to the rule of Chu, but Chu did not specially arrange officers and soldiers to manage, which shows the contempt for here, we more than 100 people escorted the seventh princess and Yue arrived in the small city of Fuwei at the beginning of night.

There is no gate in the wall, the city wall is only more than three meters high, it has been eroded by years of wind and rain, it has long been unrecognizable, and the city wall is crawling with vines and moss, a bleak scene.

Along the potholed main road to the city, but saw that the scale of this small city is really small, there are no buildings of more than two floors in the whole city, most of the houses are dilapidated, there are few pedestrians on both sides of the street, probably it is rare to see so many of us in the team, some passers-by stopped and looked at us curiously.

We found two clean inns in the centre of the town, in fact, the only inns in the town, with less than twenty beds left in them, and most of the soldiers still camped outside.

Ju Wu's mutiny and death have made me a veritable supreme commander of this send-off procession, and I have decided to rest in this small town for a while, and set out again tomorrow afternoon, so that my soldiers can get enough rest.

Although the chariots and horses were discarded in Yunluo Mountain, the really valuable dowries were brought out, and our losses were not too heavy except for the casualties of the soldiers. That night, I specially set up a sumptuous banquet of fifteen tables to reward these soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight, through the continuous battle of Yunluo Mountain, these soldiers have begun to believe in me, I also understand the principle of buying people's hearts at the right time, a few glasses of wine, a few words of inspiration, so that each of them can feel my care.

Considering that the soldiers were already tired, the banquet did not last long tonight.

The best room was reserved for the seventh princess Ji and Yue, I lived in the room on her left side, and after going back to take a hot bath, I was about to rest, but I heard a gentle knock on the door, opened the door, and saw Ji and Yue standing quietly outside the door in samurai clothes, with a faint smile on their pretty faces, looking at me with beautiful eyes and veins affectionately, and she was followed by Qi Yan, who was also dressed in men's clothes.

I looked outside, but I saw that Kaoli, who was in charge of patrolling in the corridor, had turned his face away, and this kid had already seen the delicate relationship between me and Ji and Yue, and he was just pretending to be stupid.

I smiled and made an inviting gesture, but Ji Youyue shook her head and said softly, "Can you go out for a walk with me?" ”

I nodded, explained to Kaoli, and accompanied Ji and Yue out of the inn.

The inky night sky is full of jewel-like stars, and the huge Milky Way pours down from our heads through the deep and vast night sky, like a waterfall hanging across the sky, and the group of good and crystalline stars is just like the splashing droplets of water from the waterfall. The cool night breeze of autumn blew through, and I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart when I thought of Ji and Yue, who were about to leave me.

Ji and Yue walked side by side with me on the path in the middle of the street, Qi Yan was far behind, and in a blink of an eye, she had come to the front of the city wall.

Ji and Yue pointed to the city wall in front of them: "I want to go up and have a look!" She had already taken the lead in walking up the stairs of the city wall, I followed in the footsteps of Ji and Yue up the stairs, Qi Yan did not follow, she seemed to understand a lot about the matter between me and Ji and Yue, and knew when to avoid it.

There is only one road on the city wall for two people to go in parallel, but there is no one to guard the entire city wall, Ji and Yue hold the arrow stack of the corner tower with both hands and look in the direction of due east, her beautiful eyes are full of tears, she said softly: "I can't see Yue Guo here......"

I nodded, and reached out to grab her soft: "Qiqi, why do you have to marry King Zhao?" Is it worth sacrificing your life's happiness for the sake of your father's ambition? ”

Ji and Yue looked at me with tears in their eyes and said: "Little turtle, in the eyes of my father and mother, I am just an ignorant child, and in the eyes of the ministers and the people, I am a pampered princess, but I do everything by my own principles. She bravely threw herself into my arms and hugged my body tightly: "If I were just an ordinary woman, I would definitely not hesitate to run away with you, go to a place where no one can find me, be your wife happily, do your laundry and cook for you, and have children for you, but I can't ......"

Ji and Yue raised their pretty faces, and they were already in tears: "I ran away with you, how should my father explain to Chu State?" The people of Vietnam have been traumatized by the war, how can I bear to let them suffer again because of myself? ”

I hugged Ji and Yue's delicate body tightly, as if I wanted to integrate her delicate body into my body. I picked up her delicate body, squeezed her in the dark corner of the corner tower, kissed her cherry lips hard, and untied her robe with my big hands.

Ji and Yuejiao said: "Don't mention those unhappy things again, cherish every day we are together, every moment, okay?" ”

I nodded, squeezed her delicate body hard, and entered her narrow body in the mournful moans of Ji and Yue......

After a day and night's rest, all the soldiers were in high spirits.

I bought ten wagons in the city, and bought some necessary necessities, and one hundred and thirty-five soldiers escorted the carriages out of the west gate of the small city and continued in the direction of Yingdu.

Ge Feng said goodbye to me at the city gate.

After fighting side by side, I also had a lot of good feelings for Ge Feng, and I was full of gratitude: "If there is no help from Brother Ge this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get out of Yunluo Mountain smoothly." ”

Ge Feng said with a smile: "That's all up to Commander Lu's command, I don't dare to be greedy!" ”

I laughed: "Why doesn't Brother Ge come with me to Yingdu?" ”

Ge Feng shook his head and said: "Now that you have entered the territory of the Chu State, the next road is very smooth, there must be no danger, and the Lu Commander is enough to deal with everything." Besides, King Changsi is still waiting for me to die, and I can't delay it too long. ”

I hugged my fist to Ge Feng and said: "Since Brother Ge has made up his mind, I can't force him to stay, if I have a fate to get together in the future, my Lu Xiaogui will definitely invite Brother Ge to have a drink to express my gratitude." ”

"Commander Lu is too polite, serving the king and princess is what I should do, Commander Lu must pass through Licheng when he comes back, I am waiting to celebrate for you."

"Definitely!"

Ge Feng arched his hand at me, and whipped his whip and galloped eastward.

I looked at Ge Feng's figure in the distance, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of my lips.

Entering the territory of the Chu State, the road was suddenly wider and smoother, the Chu State was vast and had a large population, although it was invaded by the Wu State not long ago, and almost lost the country, and even the body of the monarch was dug up by Wu Zixu and whipped the corpse in public, but it still slowly recovered. The reason why Chu Yue was able to maintain the current good relationship was also related to their common experience of humiliation. However, as far as I know, after the Chu State became stronger, the Yue State was destroyed by the King of Chu Wei, and it seems that the so-called friendship between the countries was a political need in a specific period.

Kaoli chased after me and whispered: "Not far ahead is Baigong City, should we enter the city tonight?" ”

"White Princess?"

Kaoli explained: "Baigongcheng is the gateway from the state of Chu to the state of Wu, and the person stationed there now is Gongzi Sheng, the son of the prince of the original state of Chu. ”

I just remembered the grievances in history about the prince Jian and King Chuping, when King Chuping was in power, he married Meng Ying, the sister of Prince Jian and the mourning prince of Qin, but later he coveted Meng Ying's beauty, and at the instigation of the traitor Fei Wuji around him, he simply took Meng Ying as his own, and married a Qin girl who married Meng Ying to marry Prince Jian, and later King Chuping also enlarged Meng Ying's belly and gave birth to King Chu Zhao, in order to cover up this scandal, King Chu Zhao did not hesitate to frame Prince Jian and Wu Lu, Prince Jian got the news and fled, However, Wu Hao's family was almost wiped out, and only the current Wu Xiangguo Wu Zixu escaped.

In order to take revenge, Wu Zixu borrowed Wu soldiers to attack the Chu State, smashed the capital of the Chu State, dug the tomb of the King of Chu Ping, whipped his corpse, and forced the King of Chu Zhao to flee in panic, and the people of the entire Chu State fell into more than ten years of suffering, and the Chu State has not yet fully recovered.

I whispered: "Gongzi Sheng is the son of Prince Jian and that Qin Guogong girl?" ”

Kao Lie couldn't help laughing, and it took a long time before he stopped laughing and said: "This matter has long been known to the world, but the Chu people are quite scruples about this matter, and they are ashamed and humiliated, King Chuping even wants to rob his daughter-in-law, and he deserves to be whipped by Wu Zixu!" ”

I nodded, in my impression, it seemed that Gongzi Sheng had the experience of rebellion later, knowing that this Bai Gong was not a good person, and said in a low voice: "More things are better than less things, let's bypass Bai Gong City and go directly to Yingdu." ”

Korret received my order and turned to give the order for the soldiers to move on.

Shortly after the order was given, we saw a cavalry contingent of about two hundred men facing us in the dusty air ahead. Judging from the flags fluttering in their ranks, they should be soldiers and horses belonging to Baigong City.

I signaled my men not to act rashly, and lined up to wait for the other party's arrival.

The cavalry team stopped twenty meters away from us, and a pale-faced middle-aged general rode towards me alone, and he said loudly: "Is it the team that escorts the seven princesses of the Yue Kingdom?" ”

I politely hugged my fist at him and responded: "Send the envoy Lu Xiaogui in Xiayue Kingdom, and make a special trip to escort Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess to Chu to complete the marriage." ”

The middle-aged general showed a faint smile on his face, and returned the salute with his fist to me: "In Xia Xiong Yi, it is a general under Bai Gong, who specially came to welcome the seven princesses of Yue Kingdom to rest in the city on the order of Bai Gong. ”

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect that the news of Gongzisheng was still very well-informed, this person's surname is Xiong, and the monarch of Chu has the same surname, it seems that the status should be extraordinary, I smiled and said: "General Xiong, we have received the heart of Bai Gong, but the princess's wedding is approaching, we must rush to Yingdu as soon as possible, and we must not delay the wedding date of the king and the princess." ”

Xiong Yiyi laughed and said: "General Lu doesn't have to worry, this is only five days away from Xindu at most, even if you delay it overnight, you won't miss the wedding date." Bai Gong is the nephew of King Zhao, wouldn't it be too rude if he didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, General Lu should not embarrass me. ”

I nodded and said, "General Xiong, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the princess what she means." ”

"I'll be waiting here."

After listening to me, Ji and Yue nodded lightly and said, "Since Bai Gong already knows, let's go to Bai Gong City to rest tonight." ”

I whispered, "Can Childe Katsu be trusted?" ”

Ji Youyue smiled and said: "Actually, my marriage was mentioned by Bai Gong in person, and he is the nephew of King Chu Zhao, so I don't accept his invitation It's indeed a bit too refutable." "After all, Ji and Yue are the princesses of the Yue Kingdom, when dealing with this kind of big thing, they have a clear mind and are very calm, completely throwing away the temperament of the unruly girls in the past, such a big picture is not something that ordinary girls can have.

When Xiong Yiyi learned that Ji and Yue had agreed to enter the city, he immediately asked his 200 cavalry to turn around and lead the way, and he personally accompanied me and walked with me.

Xiong Yiyi smiled and said, "I can see that your journey is not smooth!" ”

Our carriages and horses were all purchased in the small city of Fuwei, and it can be seen from the structural characteristics of the carriage that they are civilian vehicles in Chudi, so Xiong Yiyi will have this statement.

I smiled indifferently and said, "I was attacked by a group of bandits in Yunluo Mountain!" ”

Xiong Yiyi exclaimed, "Has the princess been frightened?" ”

"General Xiong don't worry, the princess is safe and sound, otherwise I wouldn't dare escort her here, but the carriage and some of the dowry were lost in the chaos."

Xiong Yiyi laughed, and he whispered, "As long as the princess is okay!" ”

In front of Baigong City, two hundred cavalry brought by Xiong Yiyi were divided into two rows, standing opposite each other on both sides of the bluestone-paved road, each with distinct armor, and the bronze armor emitted a deep reflection under the reflection of the sun.

I secretly praise in my heart, this Gongzi Sheng seems to be a hegemon, just looking at the appearance of the two hundred welcome warriors under him, I know that his strength is extraordinary.

Looking up at Baigong City from my position, but seeing that the walls of Baigong City are high and wide, the moat in front is wide, and the scale of the small city surrounded by Fuwei is not the same, the sound of drums sounded in my ears, but I saw a team of about fifty golden armored cavalry galloping out of the city gate, I was stimulated by the brilliant reflection of the golden armored cavalry team and subconsciously closed my eyes, I rely on, this cavalry team is too ostentatious, even if there is more gold in Chu State, there is no need to show it like this.
