Chapter 164: A Thousand Miles to Find a 'Husband'
Since Zhao Xiaoxi sent Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling back to Dali before leaving, the two girls knew about it. This sweetheart wants to lead the troops to the battle, and they are not good at being tied to him as women, so they sit in Dali and wait for their sweetheart to return.
It's just that they underestimate this kind of waiting, they are all women who fall into it at the first moment, how do they know what it's like to be without the company of their sweetheart? Even if Mu Wanqing, who is a little older, is accompanied by her mother, she still misses this sweetheart.
I miss this sometimes domineering, sometimes squirming sweetheart. I miss the other party's secret code when night comes, and the excitement that makes her heart beat faster. I also believe in the pleasure that the other party brings to her when he conquers.
As for Zhong Ling, because of her personality, after accompanying her parents at home for a period of time, she also misses the scene when Zhao Xiaoxi accompanied her. In this way, the two Dali princesses are about to get lovesickness.
Gan Baobao and Qin Hongmian, who were the people who came over, looked at their two daughters who wanted to be haggard, and naturally they also saw pain in their eyes. Even if Duan Yu was finally released from Tianlong Temple for training, the two girls still missed Zhao Xiaoxi.
Faced with this situation, even Duan Zhengchun was a little worried that this Zhao Xiaoxi would stay at the border for a long time. These two girls are like this, they are as haggard as they don't want to eat, but how can they be good?
At this moment, Zhong Ling proposed to go north to find Zhao Xiaoxi, and also encouraged Mu Wanqing to go with him. As a result, as soon as the two sisters started, they were heard by Duan Yu, who often came to chat with them after leaving the temple.
Without doing anything, the two sisters immediately asked the elder brother to accompany them on the road. Anyway, this time Duan Yu came out of Tianlong Temple, and his force value was already much higher than before.
In addition, if Duan Yu travels with him, his safety will definitely be more guaranteed. After such a decision, I am also eager to get out of Dali. Duan Yu, who went to the Central Plains, soon made a request to travel with his father and uncle.
Faced with the situation that the two daughters were about to fall ill with lovesickness, in the end, King Dali agreed to Duan Yu's request. Let this prince of the king walk out of Dali and go to the Central Plains to travel and gain knowledge.
What's more, during this time, Duan Zhengming also knew that these two girls had always been protected by a group of elite samurai. As long as you don't run into any big mess. I believe that the safety of Duan Yu and the three of them is still guaranteed.
Considering these factors, Duan Zhengming finally agreed that Duan Yu would take the two daughters and go north to see Zhao Xiaoxi. Feeling the tragedy of the war at the border pass, let this little soft-hearted prince also understand what the cruelty of war is.
Even the eldest brother agreed, and Duan Zhengchun, who had finally eased the atmosphere with his youngest daughter recently. In the face of the desire of the two women, it is naturally difficult to say no. He could only send two close ministers to join a team of 100 horsemen drawn from the imperial forbidden army to escort the three to Qinfeng Road to meet Zhao Xiaoxi.
The reason why not too many people are sent. I also don't want Duan Yu and the three of them to be targeted by people with intentions. With this 100-person cavalry escort, plus a master escort like Ba Tianshi, the three of them also have a certain ability to protect themselves, and I believe that there will be no problems.
What's more, there are also samurai left by Zhao Xiaoxi by the side of the two women, who can be protected and guarded along the way. This safety factor is undoubtedly getting higher and higher, so that the three of them believe that it is still safe to go north.
In this way, waiting for the consent of the two Dali bigwigs, Duan Yu changed into his scholarly dress again. Two daughters who are much more cheerful at once in a mood. There are also forbidden cavalry dressed as ordinary dart masters all the way north.
By the time Wu Wei informed him of this information, the team of the three had already traveled far away. It is naturally unlikely that they will be allowed to return again.
It's just that Duan Yu, who originally thought that this trip was a kind of fun, only realized that this kind of long-distance journey was really uncomfortable.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that the two sisters criticized him for taking care of him during the trip. This pair of Duan Yu who wants to please the love of their two younger sisters. It's a bit of a loss.
Every time he camped in the wilderness, he no longer offered to prepare food for his two younger sisters. Instead, they let the relatively experienced Ba Tianshi, who was responsible for preparing the food, so as to avoid being criticized by the two younger sisters.
But that's it. The two women still feel that this trip is the road. It was much more fortunate than when she followed Zhao Xiaoxi before, and even Zhong Ling felt that without Zhao Xiaoxi riding with her, she was always very prone to fatigue.
The two girls who couldn't wait to fly to Zhao Xiaoxi's side urged Duan Yu and his party to speed up to Qin Feng Road all the way. After a period of long-distance travel, after finally entering the territory of Qinzhou, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that when they learned that Zhao Xiaoxi was still leading the troops to fight in Lanzhou at the moment, the two girls only rested in Taizhou for one night. Early the next morning, let the members of the martial arts take them to meet Zhao Xiaoxi.
Duan Yu, who came to the border pass, finally felt the tense atmosphere of this city in a state of war. Every time they faced the interrogation of those rangers, without the token presented by the guards, they were afraid that they would not be able to move an inch.
Even when entering some border towns, they still need permission from the city guards. Coupled with Duan Yu's trip, they deliberately concealed their true identities, which made the guards of the border city even more suspicious of them.
Even when they entered a small city near Lanzhou, they were surrounded by the city's city defense army and strictly ordered them to explain their identities. It wasn't until the members of the Wuwei came forward and showed the passage order issued by Zhao Xiaoxi that they avoided being arrested and interrogated.
This kind of tense border situation made Duan Yu know for the first time that when war came, people would become as nervous as soldiers as grass and trees. However, from this trip, I also heard that the border people of the Song Dynasty were ruthlessly slaughtered in previous wars.
As a Dali who respects Buddhism, Duan Yu has learned Buddhism from an early age, and most of them persuade people to be kind and value harmony. He also knew that Buddhism was also highly respected in the Western Xia Kingdom.
But what I learned at this moment was that those Western Xia people who should be kind to others were making bloody massacres near Lanzhou. Even many times, many peaceful small villages and towns have become deserted.
By the time they entered the territory of Lanzhou, they could already feel the atmosphere here, which was more tense than in Qinzhou. Sometimes, it is very difficult to get into the city to rest. When camping in the wilderness at night, it is common to encounter sudden Song army scout cavalry.
If it weren't for the fact that there were already members of Wuwei in the team at this moment, the possibility of them wanting to see Zhao Xiaoxi was very small. And in the process of this march, they also heard the news of Cho Hyo-seok's victory.
Compared to Duan Yu, when he heard that tens of thousands of people had been killed, his mood was strongly shocked, and he felt that the battlefield swords and arrows without eyes were really good. These tens of thousands of lives were sacrificed in vain, but Ba Tianshi and others knew very well how precious this kind of victory was.
I have always felt that Zhao Xiaoxi, as the king of the county, is too confident in marrying two Dali princesses. At this moment, I really understood that the royal family of the Song Dynasty, which had always been weak, now really had a great county prince.
When they learned through Wuwei that when Zhao Xiaoxi camped on the border of the Yellow River after the great victory, Ba Tianshi and the others meant. Naturally, they went into the city to wait for the return of the county prince, but the two girls insisted on going there to see Zhao Xiaoxi directly.
Fortunately, I walked thousands of miles, just to see this sweetheart? Now that they are all here, how can they wait in the border city with peace of mind?
For these two princesses who are deeply favored by the prince and the king of Dali, Ba Tianshi and others are not easy to refuse, but they are very worried about reaching the border. Suddenly encountering any enemy situation, his cavalry team of more than 100 people is afraid that it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the three people.
Just when Ba Tianshi and the others were struggling with this matter, on the plain in the distance, a thousand-man cavalry team with a well-groomed army had already appeared. Looking at the wind banner on it, Ba Tianshi and the others were also very curious, which army this cavalry belonged to.
According to Ba Tianshi and others' understanding of the cavalry, the Great Song cavalry army that was levied should only have a cavalry battalion named after the five elements. So where did this Fengzi camp come from?
It wasn't until the cavalry of 1,000 stopped in front of them, looked at the 1,000 cavalry generals who dismounted at the head, and saluted the two girls. Ba Tianshi knew that this Fengzi battalion had only begun to be formed in Lanzhou.
As for such a cavalry team of 1,000 people, it is served by such a young general, and there is a younger commander like Zhao Xiaoxi, Ba Tianshi and the others are not too surprised. Under the escort of the Fengzi battalion, they advanced to the Yellow River.
When she was not far from the Yellow River camp, the tired girl along the way thought that she was about to meet her sweetheart. They all slapped their horses desperately, hoping to see Zhao Xiaoxi soon.
When they saw a young man sitting on a white horse in front of them, the two girls immediately slapped their horses out and galloped away where they were standing. Seeing this situation, Duan Yu could only smile bitterly in his heart, this brother-in-law's charm is really great.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who has always paid attention to the movement of Mu Wanqing and others, is also eager to see these two women. In any case, this is the only woman he was reborn on this continent and really wants to marry as a wife.
Seeing the two women rushing out of the team, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that these two women were afraid that they missed him too much, so they were so eager to see him. With such an affectionate woman, isn't it his happiness as a man?
Zhao Xiaoxi, who also shot out of the horse, soon the cavalry met him, and waited until the three people and three horses were about to approach. Zhao Xiaoxi had already jumped and appeared on the Zhong Ling war horse, which was slightly poor at riding.
Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi soaring into the air, Mu Wanqing, who had already choked the horses to slow down, didn't feel any jealousy when he saw Zhao Xiaoxi sitting on Zhong Ling's horse. I just felt that seeing him safe and sound, the happiness along the way disappeared.
When the three of them met again, they didn't say anything, just looked at each other quietly. As for Zhong Ling, he was even more excited, hugging Zhao Xiaoxi's tiger waist and reluctant to let go, as if he wanted to turn all the lovesickness during this time into this greedy embrace.
Perhaps it was because of the feeling that the two women were looking for a husband for thousands of miles, and the Dali cavalry who escorted them all stopped moving. Place the position in the middle of the two cavalry armies, let the man and the woman enjoy it! (To be continued......)
