After a good night's sleep in Yecheng, Wu Fan finished supplying water, dry food, and fine forage in the early morning, and just waited for the curfew to open, and then went straight to the north.
After a whole day's journey, it was almost evening, Wu Fan identified himself at the border between the empire and Yan State, and stepped into the land of Yan State.
More than 200 years ago, the Great Sui Empire overthrew the rule of the Jin State and established a new dynasty, and then established Liaodong Prefecture, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Sili Prefecture, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Shuzhou, Jiaozhou, and fifteen prefectures from north to south. During the turmoil a hundred years ago, the Great Sui Empire retained only the size of seven of its states. Since the south of the Yangtze River, it was divided by the Southern Liang to the land of Jing, Yang, Shu and Jiaozhou. From the north, it was divided by the Northern Yan and took Liaodong, You, and Sanzhou.
A hundred years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye, and the south beam is still the same south beam, and the area is still the same area. Beiyan, on the other hand, is different. Either it is said that there are many poor mountains and bad waters, the north is indeed a bitter cold place, the people here are fierce and good at fighting, the rivers and lakes are strong, and there are many heroes. In the past hundred years, Northern Yan has continuously expanded its territory, and now has five states, following the name of the original state and county established by the Great Sui, and there are two more places in Zhaozhou and Yanzhou.
The country of Northern Yan bordered Youzhou, Yan County, and Yijing City on the border with Jizhou of the Great Sui Empire.
Wu Fan, that's where I went.
When he arrived at other people's land, Wu Fan was naturally different from his own home, he didn't remove his clothes and armor, slept with a pillow knife, and was cautious enough.
Early in the morning of September 11th.
After being in Beiyan, Wu Fan was not in a hurry, he originally planned to slowly move to Yijing City. See and listen more, so as to find out the information, although there is not necessarily anything of value to be obtained. But it's a good way to do it. He was going to ...... It's just intended, and it hasn't been put into action yet. Because there are unexpected things to do.
The post station was noisy and noisy.
Then.
A team of soldiers and horses in red clothes and red armor appeared in front of Wu Fan.
was the first person, and he was still an acquaintance of Wu Fan.
Wu Fan licked his lips, couldn't help but sigh that the world was too small, and sighed: "When you meet your old acquaintance in a foreign country, one of the four joys of life!" Pity! If you encounter an enemy, it will become the four great sorrows! It's been a long time! Sister-in-law? β
The September morning in the north was a little cold, and the visitors were dressed in light cotton dresses with dark blue brocade. The skirt was embroidered with white plum blossoms, and a white brocade belt tied the delicate waist that was unbearable. The jet-black show is curled into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted. Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant. Apply a thin layer of powder to the face. It's already stunningly beautiful...... For others, yes, for Wu Fan, some are just frightened.
"There is no sister-in-law here, only a princess to be married in the dead country!" , the person who came was Lan Xin'er, she stared at Wu Fan with a smile, and said, "Wu Baihu!" No, no, no! Looking at your outfit, I'm afraid it's no longer an eagle guard! Ignorance...... Whose thighs are you hugging now? Giggles! I'd love to know! β
Wu Fan blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "The princess to be married in the dead country...... Did I hear me right? Hehehe! β
Lan Xin'er was not angry or annoyed. He said with a calm face: "I heard you right! I'm just restoring who I should be! How? Is there something wrong? β
Wu Fan grinned, leaned over slightly exaggerated to look at the guards behind Lan Xin'er, and said, "Of course it's not right!" Since it's a princess. You're waiting to be married, so what are you doing here? At this time, you should stay in the boudoir, show off the beauty of the girl, and prepare to get married, okay? β
Lan Xin'er raised the corners of her mouth, showed a stunning smile, and said, "I'm willing, can you handle it?" It's you, don't have any bad intentions, follow me to Yijing City! β
For Beiyan. It doesn't matter if Lan Xin'er is Princess Nanliang or not, it doesn't matter. As long as Beiyan admits it, as long as Lan Xin'er can bring them benefits. Therefore, a month ago, Lan Xin'er led people north. Day and night, when he arrived at Beiyan, he called himself the princess of Nanliang, and when he asked for refuge, Beiyan agreed. The reason is very simple, and the most important thing is to give hope to the remaining strength of Nanliang who is still resisting.
The Great Sui is eyeing the Northern Yan, the Northern Yan is weaker than the Great Sui, relying on its own strength alone, at most it is just trying to ensure that it does not lose, but it is difficult to go further, especially when the Great Sui does not have two worries. The Southern Liang Kingdom was destroyed, not to say that it was destroyed, it was all over in one qiΔ, and there were still many pedantic and loyal to the Southern Liang resistance forces, otherwise, why did the hussar general, one of the three god generals of the Great Sui Empire, sit in charge? It is conceivable that if the news of Princess Nanliang marrying the lord of Northern Yan comes out, how those resisting forces will react - they will resist even more desperately!
Lan Xin'er's appearance greatly exceeded Wu Fan's expectations, but in Lan Xin'er's incomprehensible smile and the unkind eyes of hundreds of guards, Wu Fan could only follow Lan Xin'er's carriage and horse and was obediently coerced to go to Yijing City.
On the way, Lan Xin'er looked at Wu Fan through the curtain of the carriage and asked, "I heard that your brother and sister-in-law are dead?" β
Wu Fan's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "I heard that your father is also dead?" β
Lan Xin'er's face turned pale, and in the blink of an eye, she smiled again and said, "You are very sharp!" Gee! Do you know how much I want to kill you? β
Wu Fan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Try it? β
Lan Xin'er stared at Wu Fan's eyes tightly, giggled, lowered the carriage curtains, and stopped talking to Wu Fan.
There was a carriage, and the degree of the horse team was lowered by more than one notch, and the road that could be reached in two hours actually walked for most of the day.
Entering Yijing City, Lan Xin'er opened the curtain of the carriage and said with a smile: "I just happened to meet you on the road!" Now, take care of yourself! β
After speaking, Lan Xin'er led the carriage and horses away.
[Happened to run into me on the road? The devil believes in you! γ
Wu Fan secretly thought in his heart, seeing that it was not early, he intended to find an inn to stay, and wait for tomorrow to submit his credentials, meet the lord of Beiyan, and take Princess Xiyue......
The prosperity of Yijing City is no less than Chang'an, the capital of the Great Sui Emperor, but it is a little worse than Luoyang, the first male city in the world. Walking on the streets, Wu Fan looked left and right, experiencing the strange customs of the northern land...... In fact, this product is to see the "characteristics" of the Northland.
The "Character" of Northland.
Two people walking down the street.
One said, "What do you see?" β
The other said, "Look at you! β
And then......
Try not to be noisy when you can do it, and do it.
Looking left and right for a long time, Wu someone, who wanted to see the excitement, couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "A legend is a legend, it's not true!" β
And then ......
Wu Fan walked unwillingly, ran into a man, and then subconsciously glanced at others.
The man raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?" β
Wu Fan: "......", what are you doing?
In the end, it was not on his own land, Wu was cautious or cowardly did not say that sentence, but slightly bowed and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" β
"Humph!"
The man snorted coldly and turned away.
The smile on Wu Fan's face gradually faded, and he led the purple horse to take a few steps forward.
Suddenlyβ
Wu Fan felt that something was not quite right, and groped all over his body, his eyes were full of murderous aura.
Credentials.
It's gone!
There was no need to think about it, Wu Fan knew that it was the man who picked up his pocket just now, and his technique was very clever, so he didn't notice it at all...... The letter of state, which was written by the king of the backer to Wu Fan and handed over to the lord of Northern Yan, was used to show Wu Fan's identity, so that he could take Princess Xiyue away smoothly. There is no credential...... Wu Fan stood in place, his face gloomy and terrifying.
[I knew for a long time that this trip would not go smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing when I first came. γ
With a few cold snorts, Wu Fan rolled his eyes and led the horse away, not caring about the loss of the national letter at all. The reason is very simple, because he also has the gold medal of the backer king, which is hard currency in the Great Sui Empire, and it is also easy to make in Northern Yan
Night.
A sneaky figure slipped into the deep mansion with the plaque of Princess Changle's mansion hanging under the eyes of the patrol guards.
Princess Changle, who? Lan Xin'er, no! Perhaps, her name has now been changed to Xiao Lanxin.
Lan Xin'er was grooming in front of the bronze mirror, when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she lazily waved away the maid next to her, and said, "Got it?" β
"Yes!"
Through the beaded curtain, a pair of hands held a letter and sent it in.
"Excellent! Go down! β
Lan Xin'er waved her hand, and instead of taking the letterhead, she tapped it lightly three times on the dresser in front of her.
"Gaba!"
After the sound of oozing bones, the man who came to deliver the letter was silent, and was thrown out of the room like garbage.
Lan Xin'er turned her face half sideways and said coldly: "Did I sue you not to kill people in my room?" β
Behind the bead curtain, a nine-foot-long figure half-knelt on the ground, and under the hazy candle shadow, it was a giant man with a bearded face like a lion.
Seeing that the man was silent, Lan Xin'er snorted coldly, reached out and took the letterhead in her hand, opened the wax seal and took a few looks.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and Lan Xin'er said, "Your chance to repay your kindness has come, are you ready?" β
The giant's head hung lower, and he still didn't speak.
Lan Xin'er moved gently, found the envelope again, loaded the stationery, and sealed it. He opened the bead curtain, handed it to the giant man, and said, "Tomorrow, you go to the post station and hand over the credentials of the Sui Kingdom...... If nothing else, there will be someone who claims to be an envoy from the Sui State. He is my enemy, kill him! It's best to kill him in front of the Son of Heaven of Yan Kingdom! Think for yourself. β
The giant man respectfully took the letterhead, kowtowed three times, got up and walked out of the room, and disappeared.
Lan Xin'er blinked a pair of beautiful eyes, and her ten white jade-like fingers were tangled together......
