The moonlight was like a flower, and a black horse, like a galloping arrow, pierced through the breeze and galloped straight to the Wuchang military camp. The shadow in the moonlight, dragging a diagonal line on the uneven bluestone floor.

"Brother Xian, you are back." Hu Yidao rushed out of the tent, his face full of excitement.

Side took a few steps forward, grabbed the horses that had slowed down when they entered the barracks with both hands, and said with a big grin: "Young master, all the soldiers and horses have been dressed neatly, and you can set off with just an order." ”

Zhao Xian turned over and dismounted, held the hilt of the sword and said, "Okay, let's go directly!" lest you have long nights and many dreams. ”

"Brother Xian!" Hu Yidao saw that he was being ignored, his face was quite displeased, and he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xian's sleeve and said: "Brother Xian, I delivered the letter, it was received by a very beautiful woman, and I also called my sister-in-law, but I was beaten..."

This kid, sister-in-law is screaming nonsense. Zhao Xian waved his hand and said, "Okay, just come back, go down and rest!" I'll come back from my errands, and I'll reward you well. ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Hu Yidao hurriedly grabbed Zhao Xian, patted the armor on his body and said, "Brother Xian, how can you go out to fight without me?" You see I've got all my armor on. Also, why are your eyes red? I look very unhappy. ”

"Really? The riding wind is too windy. Thinking of An Birou's affectionate eyes, Zhao Xian felt a little helpless in his heart. He shook his head to remove the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at Hu Yidao, who was excited, and chuckled: "How old are you, have a fart fight, go to the back and cook." ”

Hu Yidao was quite dissatisfied, and pulled his reins stiffly: "Brother Xian." You are only half a year older than me, you can lead soldiers to fight but not with me, you are not righteous! ”

"Righteous fart, get back to me and stay there." Zhao Xian's face was slightly angry, and he couldn't help but reprimand him.

Hu Yidao was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Xian to suddenly be so fierce to him, and he couldn't react for a while. He lowered his head quite aggrievedly: "Brother Xian, I know you think I am incompetent, but my mother said that I will follow you in the future, and I can only do what you do...... Brother Xian! Don't go, Brother Xian..."

Looking at the back of the dust gone. Hu Yidao's face was even darker in disappointment. With a hint of complaining, he shook his head and walked into the barracks.

Pegasus galloped, and Side followed to the side, and said softly: "Young master." You don't look good! ”

"Huh?!" Zhao Xian will come to his senses. I touched my face. Smiled and asked, "What?" Not as handsome as before? ”

It's still so shameless, Side felt suspicious, and a few smiles appeared on his chubby face: "Much more handsome than before." That woman from Northern Qi has often been awkward these days. clamoring to see you, and every day the big fish and big meat requirements, a Korean ginseng and a South Sea shark fin, are about to eat the small one, you hurry up and get her, otherwise you have to lose money. ”

Xingya was confined to a courtyard outside the city, and there was no other way to retaliate against Zhao Xian in this way, but with her small body, it was estimated that there was no hope for Zhao Xian to eat poor.

Zhao Xiansi and the girl with eyes hooked couldn't help but chuckle a few times, turned his head and asked, "Let you ask the route, can you ask it?" ”

Side nodded, took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and handed it to him: "In the past two days, I have visited the fishermen and merchants who come and go between the two sides of the strait, and I have inquired from the mouth of the woman of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I have indeed found a hidden road on the map. This is a hundred years ago when the two countries just started the war, smuggling merchants to and fro opened the route, the road is full of deep mountains and barren forests, now the two places are traded, few people have walked. ”

The map on the sheepskin was rather rudimentary, and most of the marks drawn on it were coke, but the final direction of the arrow was indeed towards Suizhou.

Zhao Xian glanced at it a few times, and compared it with the map in his memory, he only felt plausible, and it was far more blurry than clear.

However, even if there is no road, the 200-mile mountain road is not too far, and as long as you don't encounter enemy troops, it is not difficult to cross over.

"Have you gathered all the soldiers and horses? Get ready to go! He took the hideous skin into his bosom and said in a deep voice.

Side nodded: "Five thousand soldiers and horses, all carefully selected by Miss Su, are already waiting outside the city, just wait for the young master's order, and then you can set off."

The night before departure is the hardest, and who can be as calm as ever in the face of an uncertain journey?

Zhao Xian stood at the foot of the mountain in the suburban courtyard, slowly stroking the letter sent by Beijing, remembering the experience of knowing and intersecting with them, scene by scene appeared in front of him, warm and romantic, the memory is still fresh, Zhao Xian is full of joy and sorrow, and there is an indescribable feeling of depression.

I wanted to reply to a letter, but I couldn't even squeeze out this bit of time.

Zhao Xian put Huang Tiantian's domineering letter together with the letter sent by Beijing. The peony pendant touched the mouth and kissed it, and it seemed that you could still smell the unique gentleness of Huayu.

Look at the sky, it's already the third watch. Side and 5,000 soldiers and horses were already ready to go, waiting for him.

"Let go of me, I'll go myself!"

In the distance, a few women's coquettish reprimands came, and when I looked up, it was Xingya's housekeeper, who was dragged down the mountain by Side.

Followed by the girl from the Northern Qi Dynasty, her bright eyes were a little tired, as if she had just woken up. Pretty was quite alert on her face, looking left and right with her skirt up, and got down under the escort of the guards.

Raising her eyes to see Zhao Xian, angry flames erupted in her eyes: "You shameless General Liang, when are you going to lock me up?" ”

I got up in a hurry, and before I had time to dress up carefully, my smooth hair like a cloud fell naturally. It's like a waterfall falling straight down from the Milky Way. The long skirt with gold trim on a black background drooped carelessly on the ground, and the wonderful figure was a snow lotus, blooming under the bright moonlight.

Zhao Xian pinched the horse's belly and stepped forward to look at her condescendingly: "Let's go!" I'll let you go now. I haven't seen you for a few days, and I have wasted so much of my silver, if it weren't for the fact that you are useful, I will definitely sell you to pay off your debts. ”

"The car?" Xingya raised her head disdainfully, ignoring Zhao Xian's joke at all. In the light moonlight, her eyes are as dark as water, but there is an untamable wildness, and her face as white as jade is as beautiful as the bright moon in the sky.

Good girl, the smell of this girl. If it's really different, is it because of the royal family? Seeing that her words were not inferior, Zhao Xian's face was slightly cold, and he patted his saddle: "I sneaked in secretly, how can I take the car and give you two choices, walk by yourself, and sit in my arms, you choose by yourself!"

Xingya snorted and sneered, "You want me to lead the way." You have to listen to me. If you don't prepare a carriage for me, I won't leave. ”

Zhao Xian raised the whip disapprovingly, and smiled softly: "It's just right not to go, it's a long night." It's a good time to spend candles in the cave. Or we'll go to another hospital. Talk about something else. ”

Little girl, fight with me? I'm in a hurry, I'm really going to take you captive and warm up the bed. Zhao Xian looked at her triumphantly, his eyes full of pride.

"You won't give me a car. Give a horse a head office, right? Let me walk, as long as you don't waste time. Xingya snorted, but she was helpless.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Xian asked Side to find Pi Xiaohongma. Xingya was satisfied, sat on her side, and wanted to raise her hand to pull the housekeeper up.

Zhao Xian's heart moved, and the horsewhip stopped her and said, "You can just follow me alone, she stays here." ”

"No way!" Xingya was suddenly angry, and the housekeeper shook her head nervously. Xingya looked at him coldly and said angrily: "You liar, you said you would let me go, but you detained her here?" This is clearly meant to threaten me, so I won't let you succeed. ”

Zhao Xian laughed twice, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Little girl, I don't care about your origin, your origin, you are the emperor's daughter, it has nothing to do with me, I said that I would let you go, and I would naturally let you go." The only request is just that you don't play tricks and honestly bring me to the Suizhou area. As for this housekeeper, she can only become a burden with her, and after I finish my deed, I will naturally send someone to send her to Northern Qi, believe it or not, you are just a captive, and you don't have the right to talk to me about conditions, understand? ”

This can be regarded as Zhao Xian's showdown. He felt that this Xingya was not just the prince's daughter, maybe she was really the naughty princess of Northern Qi. But it had nothing to do with him, he just needed someone to lead the way.

Xingya's chest rose and fell sharply, and she really had nothing to do in the face of the tough Zhao Xian, so she could only say indignantly: "I have never provoked you from beginning to end, who has played tricks and fooled people three or four times, you know better than me." I really can't imagine that you are as fierce and cunning as a wolf, how can a despicable, shameless and obscene person like you become a general. This Northern Qi girl was completely angry, and her contempt and disdain for him were clear at a glance.

Zhao Xian nodded approvingly: "Wolf, persistent, patient, loyal, arrogant, it is a feared animal." The difference between dogs and wolves is not because of their difference in force, but because dogs are tamed, but wolves are not. It will not shake its head and tail to its owner regardless of dignity for the sake of food, and the wolf knows that it must not be arrogant, but it must not be arrogant. You say I'm like a wolf, and I should be honored. ”

Xingya was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so brazen and convert his disdain into praise. But there is no denying that there is some truth to this statement.

Zhao Xian shook his long flowing hair quite coquettishly, and said with a smile: "I'm in Changzhou, nicknamed 'Nine times a night wolf', meaning." On the night of the full moon, I can transform into nine wolves, which is the highest praise for me..."

"Shameless ......" Xingya scolded angrily a few times, a touch of pink appeared on the base of her ears, obviously hearing his words. This guy, the pervert is pretty much the same.

Zhao Xian laughed a few times, and then asked, "Sister Xingya, you came all the way to Wuchang, wouldn't it really be for tourism?" ”

"You think everyone is like you, full of intrigues." Xingya responded coldly, and her pretty face was full of 'count of 'count me unlucky'.

Zhao Xian smiled: "I didn't say you, what are the girls running around?" There are countless talented and handsome guys in my beam, I really let you see it, I guarantee that I can't walk the road, I was really hooked away by you, but the loss of my beam. ”

Hearing his nonsense, Xingya couldn't help but be annoyed: "Who saw the person who was on your beam?" Our sons and daughters of the Northern Qi Dynasty yearn for the resourceful, wise, and martial heroes, and the men of your Daliang are vassals and are elegant and cowardly, except for the wind and the moon, what is the merit, just like an embroidered pillow, no ability and no backbone! ”

Zhao Xian suddenly said indignantly: "Miss Xingye, how can you slander a large dense forest because of a few crooked-necked trees?" There are vassal and elegant scholars, and there are not a few people with both ability and political integrity. Am I bold or timid? Do I have any backbone? ”

"You??" The girl of Northern Qi said disdainfully: "You are quite bold and can knock General Shi Yuan off the horse." It's also a bit of a skill. It's a pity that the character is too inferior, and his mind is full of obscene thoughts. ”

"Cut!" Zhao Xian flicked his armor disapprovingly: "You haven't seen me pure when you haven't seen me, otherwise you will definitely fall in love with me." ”

The disdain in Xing Yamei's eyes was even worse, and she turned her back and ignored him.

Zhao Xian's horsewhip was whipped on her horse's buttocks, and she started it before and after. The sudden movement almost shook the little girl Xingya down, and she held on to the horse's neck to stabilize her body, and glared back at Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian walked on the gravel path, and his heart moved slightly and he spoke again: "Miss Xingya, your name is Su Xiangning, right?" Do you have a relative of Su Wanyun? ”

Xingya glanced at him a few times. Neither shakes his head. Nodding either. just said ambiguously: "Northern Qisu is a national surname, maybe there is, I haven't heard of it!" ”

Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, and then didn't ask any more.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the bright moon in Wuchang. A group of sturdy Liang sergeants rushed out along the city gate, and their figures gradually disappeared into the long night.

The low and elegant sound of the pipa drifted slowly like the breeze of a spring night, and the desolate singing of the woman Qingyue came from nowhere, reverberating in the hearts of the people:

"Lines, lines, lines, lines. Parting with Jun Sheng.

It is more than 10,000 miles away. Each in the world;

The road is long and obstructive. Meet Ann Ke Know?

……”

The melodio singing came into the ears, with a touch of sorrow and sadness, deeply touching the hearts of these men who were about to go on an expedition.

"Young Master. The eldest lady and the lady have sent you!" Side's eyes were excellent, and he leaned over to Zhao Xian's side and whispered.

Zhao Xian looked back at the city wall, and through the silver hazy moonlight, An Birou's beautiful and slender figure was like an upright flower branch. The moonlight shone on her clean face, a faint light on it. Two lines of crystal tears dripped silently down his cheeks, like the purest morning dew in the morning, tactful and poignant, heartbreaking.

Mrs. An's jade hand was lightly raised, the green silk swayed in the wind, and she stood quietly behind Miss An, although she was speechless, her concern and worry had been transmitted from her beautiful eyes to her eyes.

Looking at the two beauties, Zhao Xian sighed lightly, and joy and sorrow surged into his heart at the same time. He gritted his teeth, waved his whip, and the galloping steed was gone, never to look back.

Xingya rode on the little red horse, looking at the wolf-like sergeants around her, she didn't have the heart to escape. The horse followed Zhao Xian unhurriedly, and snorted lightly: "Hey! If you can't bear your wife, why do you insist on going your own way? You people infiltrated Northern Qi, and there was no use except to send them to death. ”

Zhao Xian was depressed in his heart, and when he saw her talking, he snorted: "Recuperation disturbs my morale, a dignified man should serve the country, how can he shrink his hands and feet for the sake of his children's private feelings." Are you afraid that I really captured the emperor of Northern Qi, thus destroying Northern Qi, so that you can't be the county lord? ”

"You dream!" A few inexplicable hints flashed in Xingya's eyes, and for some reason, she hummed softly: "Even if you capture the emperor of Northern Qi, you will rest and destroy Northern Qi." There were four princes in the Northern Qi Dynasty, three of whom held military power to guard one side, and the emperor would not be captured so that the dragons would not be leaderless, causing the world to fall apart. ”

"Oh!" Zhao Xian was surprised in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Your emperor has just ascended the throne, and he let the three princes control the military power, aren't you afraid that one or two of them will support the army and try to usurp the throne?" ”

"Humph!" For some reason, a trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes of this Northern Qi girl, and she instantly hid it cleanly, and shook her head and said: "I'm just a little county lord, and I can take care of the affairs of the uncles there." However, my Northern Qi royal family has always been loyal and ironclad, how can I fight for the world as you think. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xianle smiled and said: "Think about it, if your father becomes the emperor, you will be a princess, and this identity is a hundred times stronger than the county lord, don't you have a little thought?" ”

"You're recuperating and talking nonsense." Xingya was furious when she heard this, knowing that Zhao Xian was provoking her, she said unhappily: "My father is not in charge of the army, and I don't want to be a princess." It's you, you are the descendant of the Duke of Daliang Town, and you will control the soldiers and horses of a country in the future, and if you want to rebel, it is just a matter of raising your hand......"

"Shut up!" Zhao Xian hurriedly raised his hand and stopped her voice to prevent the people around her from hearing it. Dead girl, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?

"Zhao Xian, are you empty-hearted?" Xingya laughed coldly a few times, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Zhao Xian waved his hand again and again, and if he continued to talk to her, something would happen, and he slapped his horse and ran far away.

The corners of Xingya's mouth hooked a strange arc, and her beautiful eyes flashed with shrewdness in the moonlight, matched with a beautiful face, just like a cunning fox spirit hidden in the night...

The emperor of the Northern Qi went on patrol, and the army gathered in Jianghan to defend the national gate of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Due to the fact that for a hundred years, the Northern Qi Dynasty has been attacking the Liangliang defense of a one-sided situation, and the Northern Qi Dynasty does not attach importance to this defense, and only thinks that it is a necessary pass for the emperor to inspect the world, after all, the emperor can only meet once or twice in his life, and there has never been a problem in previous years, so what can go wrong this time.

The defense points of the Northern Qi Dynasty were in Jianghan, Huanggang, Qingshan and other areas of great strategic significance, so the defense was naturally relaxed a little. In order to allow Zhao Xian to land smoothly in a remote place on the riverbank, Yue Pingyang specially sent troops to raid Jianghan to create chaos. Although it was only more than 1,000 people who put a wave of arrows on the river, it also shocked Jiang Han enough, and it was the Great Liang who lost his mind and went crazy, knowing that Jiang Han had increased his troops by nearly 70,000 and came to attack the city.

Unable to guess the intention of the big beam, Shi Yuan, the general of Jiang Han, could only drive the soldiers and horses to line up outside the city for the sake of safety, and refused to go to Wuchang to investigate the situation.

Just when they were suspicious, Zhao Xian had already taken his soldiers and horses, quietly bypassed the sentry on the riverbank, and went into the deep mountains and old forests.

This is the first time Zhao Xian has set foot on the land of Northern Qi, and by the night, the soldiers are hurrying on the country road, and after entering Huangpi, the sky is already numb. In order to prevent being discovered, everyone had to drill into the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away from Huangpi to Xiaogan City, which is the first threshold on everyone's journey... (To be continued......)
