The sudden battle at the border gate delayed the trip to the Qishi for more than half a month, and in the early morning of April 18, the Nanli mission set off again and rushed to Dayan. When passing through the Folding Bridge Pass, everyone from the left prime minister to the bottom couldn't help frowning.

In the past, it was said that Beixiong Pass was rejected, but now it is full of desolation, and the city is filled with the smell of corpses. The soldiers who had been stationed only a few days ago had just begun to clean up the city pass, and were throwing the corpses in the city into the flames one after another, and the place where the corpses were burned was in the suburbs, but the breeze was unbounded, and walking in the pass often met a fine gust of wind and dust.

Incineration of ashes.

Master Hu frowned and sighed, Shi Xiaoci's eyes lowered, Nan Rong's face was expressionless, Xiao Qi's eyes were full of tears, and Song Yang was stunned with his red sleeves, not knowing what he was thinking...... After leaving the customs, contact with the officials of Yan Guo, change the documents and go through the procedures, and the future itinerary will no longer have to worry about the Nanli people, and the Yan people will arrange it. It's a long way to go to Zoucheng, and it's less than 20 days away from the Dragon Boat Festival, so you have to go all out. The Yan people had already made arrangements, and all the people from Nanlilai, including the officials with the three hundred guards of the imperial city and 'Liu Wu', were all loaded into the carriage and galloped towards the north.

On the road, I traveled all night and night, and I put on new horses and coachmen, and continued on the road in a blink of an eye. All Nanli people eat and sleep in the car, and there is only one hour a day to 'land' for washing and changing clothes. The second fool was very displeased, and more than once muttered 'I will never come again'.

Xiao Qi was bitter and had no complaints about it, but she was a little distressed...... I feel sorry for her 'Gray Child', such a hurry can be predicted as early as when she left the Red City, and most of the ten good horses she chose stayed in the Red City, but the most inconspicuous gray horse was still brought to Yan Country by her, and only one hour of rest every day in the long-distance running, although it was getting tired, but the Gray Er really followed the team, and everyone was amazed at this, this horse deserved the name of 'Dragon Horse'.

The companions were surprised, the Yan people were even more stunned, the news that the Nanli mission brought the divine horse into Yan spread far and wide, and it was cited as a hot talk for a while, and the Nanli mission had not yet entered Beijing, and the reputation was gradually louder because of the 'gray child', which was a precedent in this momentum, so that Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help but smile while he didn't expect it.

And ten days after they left the customs, a bloody case occurred in the depths of Nanli's territory, which also surprised Prime Minister Zuo. But if he knew what had happened, he would never have been able to laugh. Three days later, the bloody case in Nanli was known to Emperor Yan Jingtai. When he received the secret report, he was reclining on the soft couch in the dormitory and eating apricots.

Make somebody's blood boil!

Jingtai ran barefoot outside the door and roared angrily: "Nago, Nago!" The inner court guards hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised Changge in his hand above the top, Jingtai grabbed the weapon, roared angrily and turned around and ran back to the big house, and then a series of loud noises came, Emperor Yan was like a crazy demon, wielding Changge and smashing everything in front of him.

The eunuchs and palace maids fled outside the palace, and they didn't dare to go far, they were all pale with fright, a few days ago, Long Live Lord just had a big temper, but that time he smashed the imperial study... What is it that makes the saint angry one after another? No one dared to ask.

After a while, Jingtai, who was disheveled, appeared at the door, threw Changge to the ground, made a loud noise, and glared at a little eunuch: "Little Bean, take the finch that just sent me back the secret report, hurry up!" ”

Everyone present understood that the finch who delivered the letter was about to be poisoned, but who dared to persuade him. Xiaodouzi answered, turned around and ran, and after a while, he ran back with a birdcage, and respectfully handed it to Jingtai, a black finch in the cage, with bright eyes and plump feathers, and those who know it know that it is an extraordinary product at a glance. The finch is elegant, but the spirit is sluggish, not to mention ordinary birds, even if it is a real phoenix, let it fly for three days in a row from the depths of Nanli to rush back to Dayan Zou City, it can't cheer up.

And unexpectedly, Jingtai, who was originally full of anger, was slightly stunned when he saw the handsome appearance of the bird, raised the birdcage and looked at it carefully for a while, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, and turned his head to ask Xiaodouzi: "Is this a good bird?" ”

The emperor never cares about this kind of trivial matter, but Xiaodouzi knows it well: "Back to Long Live Lord, it's called Bullying Yan, this is the head of our Dayan Army Sparrow, flying like electricity, the surname is smart, and you can't find a faster bird than it in the middle of the earth......"

Unexpectedly, before the little eunuch's words were finished, Jingtai suddenly reached into the cage, grabbed the bully cigarette out, and threw it into a puddle of meat mud: "The finch of bad news, dead and clean!" ”

Xiaodouzi turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground with a grunt, and persuaded vigorously: "Long live the anger, long live the anger." ”

"What are you kneeling down when I drop the finch, get up," Jingtai waved his hand impatiently, turned around and went back to the dormitory: "Xiaodouzi come in, and then bring yourself an embroidered pier, I am angry, talk to me." ”

As he spoke, Jingtai kicked away the garbage and sat back on the dragon couch.

If it was Nanli's minister, he would definitely say, 'It's good for the slave to stand', but Xiaodouzi understood the temper of his own long-lived lord, and he said whatever he wanted, so he immediately found a stool with a stump from the ruined dormitory, and rubbed his butt against one side and barely sat down.

After he sat down, Jing Tai spoke: "I have a treasure that was stolen by the Nanli people, what do you say should I do?" ”

Xiaodouzi puffed up his thin chest and pretended to be indignant: "Send a letter to the dog-headed emperor of Nanli, ask him to personally send the stolen treasure back, and then let him go to the criminal department to confess himself. ”

Jingtai's expression had returned to normal, and he smiled slightly when he heard this: "This is a good idea, my treasure is a corpse, Feng Long stole my dead man, and I dug his ancestral grave, which is very appropriate." ”

As he spoke, Jingtai changed his words: "To dig Fenglong's ancestral grave, you don't need a million soldiers, just relying on that treasure is enough... But the treasure was stolen, and if you want to dig his ancestral grave, you really have to use the Great Yan Male Soldiers. Originally, this matter was not difficult, but the trouble was that Dayan's soldiers went to fight Nanli, and most of them took the opportunity to fight us, and I patronized the ancestral graves of others, and it was difficult to guarantee that my ancestral graves would not be dug by others. ”

Xiaodouzi first showed surprise on his face, no matter how much he used his brain, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be able to 'dig up the precious corpse of the ancestral tomb of another emperor', but when he heard the second half of the sentence, the surprise dissipated, and he turned angry: "They dare!" Dayan Tianwei ......"

"Less sycophants."

Little Beanzi immediately stopped her voice, rolled her eyes and thought, "Or... Banzai endured the anger of the moment, and sent a powerful samurai to take the treasure back first, and when the baby came back, he could plane as much as he wanted. ”

Jingtai smiled: "Yes, I think so too." Nanli sent people to escort the baby, and sneaked in the dense forest on the side of the mountain all the way, thinking that the route was secret, but his whereabouts had already been leaked. ”

Xiaodouzi interjected: "Long live the Lord is the incarnation of the real dragon, the dragon's eyes are penetrating the world, the dragon listens to thousands of miles, and I don't want to hide anything from you." ”

Jingtai ignored the little eunuch's flattery and continued, "I sent our Dayan...... It's not just Dayan, it's the strongest and most ferocious warrior in the entire Middle-earth to rob and recover the treasure, and it's foolproof," Speaking of this, Jingtai's smile disappeared: "But just now, the finch sent a message, and my warrior went one step too late, and was taken first." ”

In the depths of the dense forest, the Nanli warriors who escorted the 'treasures' were all slaughtered, and the whereabouts of the 'treasures' were unknown.

Xiaodouzi's eyes widened in astonishment: "Who did it?" ”

"It's because I don't know who it is, that's why I'm angry." Jingtai shook his head slowly.

Xiao Douzi frowned, and said hatefully: "No matter who did it, in the final analysis, it is Nanli who is hateful, the servants heard that the Nanli delegation is coming, and when they arrive in Jingshi, each of them will break a leg first!" ”

Jingtai laughed: "It's too stingy, isn't it?" ”

Xiaodouzi also laughed with him, scratched the back of his head, and coquettishly begged himself: "The slave hasn't grown up yet, and he is still a 'villain', and the villain naturally has a pair of stingy eyes......"

Jingtai shook his head and continued to smile: "It's not that your heart is stingy, it's that your thoughts are too stingy, it's not enough to break one of their legs!" ”

After speaking, Jingtai stood up and walked out, Xiaodouzi hurriedly got up to serve, and the emperor waved his hand and smiled: "No need, I'll talk to you, I'll talk to you, I'll be relieved a little, it's not bad." ”

Xiaodouzi was very happy, and was about to say a few more words, but Jingtai suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, the baby's matter, he told me, and no one can tell me." ”

Xiaodouzi didn't know who 'he' was, but he could hear that when he mentioned 'him', the emperor no longer called himself 'I', and was about to pat his chest to promise that he wouldn't leak secrets, but after a slight smack of Banzai's words and a thought of Banzai's person, his little face suddenly turned pale! Jingtai turned his head and smiled at him, stepped away, and when he left the dormitory, he waved his hand lightly and made a 'kill' gesture to the guard in front of the door.

The immature cry was cut off by a sharp blade just after it sounded, Jingtai continued to move forward, muttering to himself: "It's uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, I have to find someone to talk to......" At this time, another minister hurriedly ran over, and said with a happy face: "Long live Qiqi, I just received great news, Lord Su is back, and he is rushing to Beijing." ”

Jing Taiha laughed loudly: "It's finally back, it's very good." ”――

On the first day of May, the tenth day of the month was closed.

According to the speed of ordinary travel, this place is only ten days away from Yandu Zoucheng, and there will be 'ten stops' on the way, so Dahao Chengguan has such a strange name.

Song Yang and the others said that the 'landing' of that hour was within the ten stops, and the envoys of Nanli were rarely relaxed, everyone got out of the car, stretched their waists and legs after washing, and relieved the fatigue of the carriage and horses, except for the girl Xiao Qi, who couldn't even take care of the clean face, and concentrated on taking care of her horses. The gray horse was mentally exhausted, his eyes were gloomy, and the tendons on all four legs were trembling.

The girl looked worried, and found Prime Minister Zuo: "Gray can't hold on, and most of the next run will be out of strength and die." I have overestimated my previous estimates, so please forgive me. ”

Master Hu shook his head and said: "It's already commendable to be able to hold on to this, don't blame yourself, leave it here." Saying that, seeing that Xiao Qi's face was reluctant, Master Hu laughed: "It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I want to keep it here, and I have to bring it with me on the way back, this is a meritorious hussar, even if you want to do it, the old man won't agree." After that, he arranged for the minor officials in the mission to handle the matter.

Xiao Qi followed behind the little official, leading Aiqi to find the envoy of Yan State, the official of Yan State who was responsible for escorting this trip was a military general, surnamed Li, the official worshiped Huaihua Lang General, Wupin Official, after listening to the request of the envoy of Nanli, Yan General smiled: "Longma also has a time to lose strength?" I thought it could run all the way to the edge of the sky without stopping. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his arm from the bottom to the top to wrap his arms around the horse's neck, and when he saw his posture, Xiao Qi was shocked and reached out to break his arm: "This won't work, it will hurt the horse." With the strength of the girl, how could she shake the other party, Yan Jiang ignored it, and slammed his arm. He is a brave man, and understands horses, it is the vital point of the horse that is choked, the gray horse has long been exhausted, can not hold this strangle, the sorrow is all choked in the roar, the body is crooked and falls to the ground, the four hooves twitch for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he is desperate.

Yan Jiang put on a stunned look: "If you say dead, you will die?" It seems that he is really tired, since he can't do it, why bother to be strong. As he spoke, he shook his head and changed the topic in his mouth: "There are two ways of cavalry: strong men and strong horses, and if there are good horses, there are good cavalry, but if the good horses die, the 'cavalry' will only be left." Speaking of which, laughed.

Before the laughter could fall, a voice came clearly, and his words continued: "If the soldiers die, there will be nothing left of the cavalry." ”

Song Yang walked closer, nodded at Yan Jiang, reached out to help Xiao Qi, and turned to leave.
