Since he got out of the customs, Qin Shaoyou has a sense of sadness, originally before he got out of the stopper, he had a bit of a poet's feelings, and his mind was full of wind and grass and low cattle and sheep, but he found that the situation was much worse.

Recently, it has been rainy and occasionally sunny, but the heat is unbearable, but at night it is bitterly cold, and even if a fire is lit in a makeshift tent, it is too cold.

Anima is used to it, since she left the fortress, she is in a good mood, and she does not feel cold, and when she travels during the day, if she meets some herdsmen, she will also bring a few Turkic warriors to come forward and greet them.

It's just out of the desert, the herdsmen here don't seem to be too friendly to the 'Tang Army', Anima chattered with Qin Shaoyou like a few treasures: "Originally, these herdsmen have always respected the Tang people, when Emperor Taizong was there, he placed a single in the capital protection mansion, set up Changshi and other officials to manage here, everyone was safe, but after Gaozong, the officials of the single capital protection mansion became more and more relaxed, greedy and excessive, and no longer only mediated the disputes between the ministries, but borrowed their own authority to make profits from it; Therefore, my father Khan only led seventeen clansmen to raise the banner against the Tang Dynasty, so 10,000 people responded, and the Shan Yu Protectorate collapsed, and there was no longer harmony in the desert after these years of fighting. ”

Qin Shaoyou listened, just pursed his lips and smiled, Datang's policy on the grassland, to a certain extent, does have many problems, the biggest of which may be that there is no fixed place for people here, and the so-called capital protectorate only relies on prestige to deter the various tribes, mediate the contradictions between the various ethnic groups, and dominate this desert land, but once the prestige is gradually lost, this place will be restored to the original state.

It's just that...... Qin Shaoyou is just a small Henan Provincial Unity Lieutenant, this matter is ...... Speaking of which, it really has nothing to do with him, not in his position, not in his politics, at the moment, the most important thing for him is to deal with the old Taishan who has become unbearable with the big knife is the top priority.

The hundreds of Turkic warriors he brought with him were natural guides, but the nearly 2,000 men and horses did not go fast. So I stopped and stopped, and the deeper I went into the desert, the more desolate the place I passed, and this feeling of being uninhabited for thousands of miles. Qin Shaoyou, who had been used to staying in Luoyang for a long time, suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world.

At this night, Qin Shaoyou was fine, there was a stove burning in the tent, and he slept with Anima, although he still felt cold. But it's okay, but Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping is a little bad, because she is 'serving' Qin Shaoyou and Anima alone, and it is impossible to sleep with the men in other tents, so she simply moved the blanket to Qin Shaoyou's tent to sleep, and her teeth always rattled at night.

Anima seems to have been aware of Li Lingyue's identity, after all, she had dealt with Li Lingyue once before. At first, I felt that this person was familiar, but then I thought about it, but it was not broken.

This is the eleventh day of entering the desert, and the huge team is like a long snake. Continue to the hinterland.

It's just that at this time, Anima can't be idle.

The eldest princess is about to give birth......

That's right, when she left Luoyang, the eldest princess's belly had already begun to bulge, Qin Shaoyou estimated that His Royal Highness was already pregnant in six or seven months, and it had been nearly three months along the way, and no one would have thought that this child would be born early.

Regardless, in this day and age, having a baby is a big deal. Especially for women, after all, it is like walking through the door of a ghost.

The team had to stop, and Anima volunteered to deliver the baby. The eldest princess's big tent was already busy, Qin Shaoyou was a man, of course there were many inconveniences, as for Li Lingyue, she didn't dare to see the eldest princess, so she had to stay in Qin Shaoyou's tent obediently.

She was dissatisfied with Qin Shaoyou. In front of Anima, she looked like a palace lady, obedient to everything, hanging her shoulders and washing her feet for Qin Shaoyou, working hard and complaining, as soon as Anima left, she was completely exposed, and immediately bared her teeth, eager to eat Qin Shaoyou alive.

Qin Shaoyou naturally didn't want to be alone with her, and he didn't give her any chance, as soon as he saw Anima walking on the front foot, he was busy calling Fang Jing over, and when Li Lingyue saw Fang Jing, she was immediately frightened and didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that she would look at herself.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Qin Shaoyou's henchmen, ten of the best people recognized her, and even Fang Jing secretly came to ask Qin Shaoyou, why did the princess run over, or Gong'e dressed up, Qin Shaoyou just smiled meaningfully and pursed his lips silently. Fang Jing immediately began to make up for it, feeling that it must be a confidential matter, so the tiger's body was shocked, and he never deliberately looked at her in front of Li Lingyue, always looking like he ignored her.

As for Li Lingyue, when others didn't recognize it, she was quite complacent, but Qin Shaoyou seized the opportunity.

"Xiaohuan, come and give Captain Pontus a slap on the back...... Small ring, pour tea...... Oh, Captain Fang, where did we just go? You mean to say that there is a group of men and horses that seem to be near us, and have been sending out some stragglers dressed as herdsmen to spy on us, don't you? ”

Looking at Li Lingyue, who smashed his powder fist on Qin Shaoyou's back, lowering his head and always inadvertently revealing his unwillingness to resent, Fang Jing was really speechless, he cheered up and said with an indifferent look: "Yes, the specific number of people, I don't know how much, but they carefully probed our reality and refused to relax, which is a bit weird." It stands to reason that the Turks should be vigilant in such a big battle, but a few days ago, in one place, after we set out of camp, they secretly sent scouts back to our former camp to check, and sure enough, they found traces of these people, which means that they are not only investigating our reality again, but even the number of our people, they are investigating, which is too abnormal, after all, the Turks know our identity......"

Qin Shaoyou nodded his head, and couldn't help frowning: "Then in the future, we must strengthen some vigilance, since the comer is not good, then it is better to be careful." ”

After Qin Shaoyou finished talking about business, he didn't let Fang Jing go, but had tea here with Fang Jing, until in the evening, Anima came to him excitedly and said, "It's born, it's born...... It's a man, not small......"

Qin Shaoyou listened to this, his face looked strange, and he suddenly found that although his princess wife also had scheming, she was sometimes stupid and cute.

Eldest sister...... The person who gave birth to the child is your brother and daughter-in-law, and the baby born by your brother and daughter-in-law is not your brother's, how happy are you?

Qin Shaoyou had to close his eyes, this kid ...... It's really a sin, this buy one get one free send the child over, but I don't know how Lord Taishan will hack himself to death. And then...... He mourned for his dear brother-in-law for another three seconds, then raised his eyes, squeezed out a smile and said, "This is a great thing, heh...... What a joy, hehe......"

Then...... And then there is no more.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After a torrential rain, this team of elite soldiers, women and children continued to set off.

At noon, a few scouts caught a herdsman, Qin Shaoyou saw two regiments riding horses in front of him, and a herdsman tied with a rope in the back, so he rushed directly to the team, so he hurriedly went side by side with Anima.

The herdsman seemed to have been beaten, but he gritted his teeth, but he did not say anything.

One of the regiments bravely said: "Du Lieutenant, this person has been investigating our fiction and reality, and we have taken him on the orders of Captain Fang, and asked Du Lieutenant to deal with it." ”

Qin Shaoyou looked at Anima unhurriedly, Anima nodded his head, then stepped forward and whispered a few words to the man in Turkic language, but the herdsman just gritted his teeth, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tuan Yong next to him directly threw up the whip and hit him.

Anima said a few more words in Turkic.

The man finally looked up, as if surprised, and then spoke to Anima, and it wasn't long before Anima said, "Let him go." ”

"What...... Your Highness ......"

Anima's face was grim: "Let him go, give him a day's dry food, a horse." ”

The two regiments reluctantly complied, and then someone dismounted to untie his rope and handed the horse into his hands.

The herdsman glanced up at Anima, muttered a few words, and then turned on his horse, and soon disappeared from their sight.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Seeing the suspicion on Qin Shaoyou's face, Anima said with a straight face: "Husband, that is not a Turk, but a Khitan, the Khitan people have always been the slaves of my Turks in the past, but since the Turks destroyed the country when Taizong, they have begun to be unruly, and this time, they plan to do something to us." ”

"Do it?" Qin Shaoyou couldn't help frowning.

Anima nodded and said, "Yes, they have already gathered two thousand iron horsemen, and they want to rob me and the eldest princess away, as for the others, ......" Anima gritted his teeth before continuing: "Although he didn't say the reason why he wanted to attack us, but ...... In my guess...... I'm afraid this is the order of my father Khan, who has been planning for several years for me to get married, and this time there is a change, I won't give up easily, it's just ...... It's just that...... Hey......"
