Chapter 605: To the Border
Cold sweat broke out on Hu Yong's forehead, and although he was a little annoyed in his heart, he could only keep his head down and didn't dare to speak.
Yun Canglan shook his head with a smile, stepped forward, held Hu Yong's wrist with both hands, and violently forced, pulled and pushed, and actually connected Hu Yong's dislocated arm, the action was crisp and neat, but it showed his martial arts foundation.
"Don't ask General Han yet!" Yun Canglan shouted in a low voice.
Hu Yong hurriedly knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "The subordinates are presumptuous, please punish the general!" ”
Han Mo smiled coldly and called out loudly: "Xiao Mu! ”
Xiao Mu was waiting outside the courtyard, and when he heard Han Mo's call, he immediately ran in and said, "My lord!" ”
"Xiao Mu, you are the deputy general of the escort team, and you are responsible for arranging the escort affairs." Han Mo said slowly: "Now that Qingguo's brothers are guarding in the inner courtyard, but you are guarding in the outer courtyard, I was going to ask you, is it the princess of Qingguo that we are guarding, or the princess of my Dayan?" ”
Xiao Mu knelt down on one knee, understood what Han Mo meant, and immediately said: "Dereliction of duty, please condemn the general!" ”
"Condemnation is inevitable." Han Mo said indifferently: "It's just that now the princess's safety is the most important thing, and I will punish you for your crime when I go back." He glanced at Yun Canglan and said with a faint smile: "Lord Yun, your subordinates have been guarding the princess's car all day today, and it is also very hard. Ming'er still has to hurry, can't you drag your tired body to hurry, right? Let's let your people go down and rest first...... Xiao Mu, dispatch people to change guards, but it's too hard to Qingguo's brothers! ”
Xiao Mu immediately said: "Obey!" Just as he was about to get up and retreat, Yun Canglan had already smiled and said, "Lord Han doesn't have to bother. My subordinates are standing in the ice and snow, so they can rest and recuperate, but they don't need to go to rest. They are guarding the inner courtyard, and don't you still have your Imperial Guards for foreign aid? It's okay to take a break while guarding here! ”
Han Mo shook his head and said, "Lord Yun is wrong. Ben Jiang led the guards this time to protect our princess, and if the guard duties were handed over to you, wouldn't it be too ridiculous? Could it be that Lord Yun thinks that there is no one in my Yan Kingdom? ”
"Lord Han is serious." Yun Canglan smiled and said: "The warriors of the Yan Kingdom are elite and strong, and Canglan has always respected them!" He calmly took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Han Mo, smiling, "Lord Han might as well take a look at this!" ”
Han Mo frowned slightly, but finally took the scroll, opened it and glanced at it, and a strange light crossed his eyes.
"This is the handwritten edict of the monarch of your country." Yun Canglan said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Han, in fact, our holy general was very happy to learn that your country is willing to marry the princess far away, and when the second batch of consultation missions arrived in Deyanjing City, they brought a letter from the holy general, which was to be forwarded to the monarch of your country." The meaning of the holy general is very simple, the princess of your country will soon become the crown princess of my Daqing, so I implore the monarch of your country to allow Canglan to lead ten Hu Yong to return to the capital with the team, and on the way back to Beijing, Canglan and his subordinates Hu Yong can guard the princess's side ......! He took the scroll from Han Mo's hand and said with a smile: "Before Canglan left, he entered the palace to meet the monarch of your country and presented a letter from the holy general. ”
Han Mo suddenly laughed and said, "I see, why didn't Lord Yun say it earlier, it almost caused a misunderstanding." I thought that Lord Yun and your subordinates wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and rob us of the guard duties of the Imperial Forest Army, and despise my Dayan. Since it is a holy decree, it is inconvenient for Ben to say anything. After a pause, he said with a smile: "But after all, this general is the commander of the guards, and he has the right to arrange the candidates for the guards, since Lord Yun is so worried about the safety of Her Royal Highness the princess, then the inner courtyard will send more people to guard it closely!" Turning to Xiao Mu and said: "Send people in, and place five brothers on each side, you can't let the Qingguo brothers suffer alone!" ”
Xiao Mu immediately bowed his hand and said, "Obey orders!" "Go down and arrange for men at once.
Yun Canglan smiled bitterly: "In the bones of Lord Han, he is really an uncompromising person. ”
At this time, Fu Langzhong had already led two eunuchs and two palace maids into the courtyard, all carrying the public's main meal.
Yun Canglan's eyes swept over the eunuch and the palace maid, his gaze was like electricity, and then he smiled: "The princess is only afraid of being hungry, send it in!" ”
Fu Langzhong looked at Han Mo and saw Han Mo nodding, so he led the palace maid and eunuch into the house and waited for Princess Shuang to dine.
Han Mo looked at the room, thoughtfully, but finally didn't say anything, turned around and went out.
……
The next day, after breakfast in the early morning, the team began to continue their journey, and the county commander of Wuxian County led the officials all the way out of the twenty miles, and then stopped, watching the team disappear on the horizon of the sky.
All the way to the north, there are officials along the way, and even if you can't reach the local county seat because of the road, the local officials have prepared a courtyard outside the county seat.
For several days in a row, Hu Yong was closely guarded, and Han Mo wanted to steal the beams and change the pillars, but it was not an easy thing.
Although there are many ways in his heart that can be swapped out, Yun Canglan is like a ghost, wandering around the princess's resting place from time to time.
Of course, Yun Canglan would not have thought that Han Mo had the intention of stealing beams and changing pillars, he was just trying his best to protect the future crown princess of Qingguo, but his existence made Han Mo dare not start easily.
didn't find a great opportunity, Han Mo couldn't start easily.
He knew that this was unusual, and once it was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Princess Frost is resting, there are always two personal palace maids by her side, which is also extremely troublesome.
The real and false princesses are replaced, that is to overflow everyone, including the palace maid who is waiting by Princess Frost's side, now there are clouds on the outside, and there are personal palace maids inside, and after a few days, I didn't find a good opportunity.
Han Mo could only wait patiently, and he also knew in his heart that the opportunity would come sooner or later.
He traveled in Huiji County for four days, and only on the fifth day did he enter the territory of Wu County.
Since the extermination of the Ximen clan, there have also been some turmoil in Wu County, and then the defenders of Wu County City and the garrisons of Donghai City who have been transferred from Wu County jointly quell the local turmoil.
Now the situation in Wu County is generally stable, but the aftermath of the turmoil has not disappeared, there are many bandits gathered in the mountains and forests, and there are indeed remnants of the Ximen clan in the territory.
When the team entered Wu County, the county guard of Wu County naturally became the most nervous person, for fear that the team would have an accident in Wu County.
There are nearly a thousand guards, and it is the most elite royal forest army in Yan Kingdom, its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, even if there are many bandits in Wu County, but naturally no bandit force is enough to threaten the safety of Princess Frost.
It's just that the county guard of Wu County also understands that even if Her Royal Highness the princess will not be in danger of her life, as long as she is frightened by the bandits, she can't afford to bear it.
After the destruction of the Ximen clan, he, the county guard, was also worried every day, and he didn't know when the will would be passed down in the capital.
At the beginning, he was close to the Ximen family, although he was not as good as the snake and rat nest of Situ Jing and the He family in Yichun County, but he also helped the Ximen family do a lot of immoral things.
After the Ximen clan was wiped out, he thought that his position as the county guard would definitely not be saved, and he was afraid that even his own life might have to be buried for the Simon clan.
However, after the counterinsurgency, Han Xuanling, who pacified the army in Donghai, said some good things for him in the war report, saying that he had done his best in the counterinsurgency and made great contributions.
After that, the court also reshuffled the distribution of officials in Wu County, and the local officials of Wu County fell seven or eight out of ten, and the vacancies were all determined in less than a month, but after the cabinet discussion, officials from all major families and royal families were sent over, and it was precisely this county guard that was not replaced, and he was still sitting.
Today's officialdom of Wu County is actually in chaos, everything is not back on track, the local officials of the major forces are pouring into each other, and he, the county guard, is also very painful.
But he also knew that when he was an official in Wu County, he offended many people, and if he was removed from this county guard position, he would be killed tomorrow if he went down today.
Therefore, when the princess came, he did not dare to make a mistake, and specially consulted with the commander of the city defenders, and transferred a thousand soldiers from the army to strengthen the security of the peace team in Wu County. The commander of the city garrison is naturally worried about the loss of the team in Wu County, he is in charge of military affairs, if the bandits disturb the princess, he, the commander of the city garrison, is also to blame.
Therefore, as soon as the team entered the territory of Wu County, the county guard of Wu County had already led the officials of Wu County to greet them on the border.
The junction of Huiji County and Wu County is two hundred miles away from Jianye City of Wu County.
In the next two days, under the careful arrangement of this Wu County guard, the journey was also very smooth.
At noon on the third day, the team finally arrived at Jianye City.
Along the way, Changde Hou Cao Yin seemed very comfortable, like playing in the mountains and rivers, white clothes like snow, and he always rode a horse.
After resting in Jianye City for a day, the team continued to march the next day, and the county guard of Wu County still led the troops to personally escort it, which was to escort the team to the Yanqing border pass.
The team has a lot of dowry vehicles, and they are afraid of bumping the Frost Princess too quickly, so they are not moving fast.
After two more days, the team traveled to a mountain, and Han Mo saw from a distance that there was a black oppressive area on the edge of the sky, and he faintly saw the pennant waving over there, and it seemed that many horses were shuttling back and forth over there.
In between, there are countless fields, and the golden wheat stretches on both sides, seemingly endless.
Under the sun, the golden wheat shimmers like gold, and it is unusually beautiful.
"General Han, there is the junction of Yanqing and Zhuanshui Pass, out of the pass is only twenty miles, it is the Zhuan River, my Dayan and Qingguo are bounded by the Zhuan River, after the Zhuan River, it is the ground of Qingguo." Wu Junjun guarded the side and enthusiastically introduced to Han Mo: "The one who guards this line of Zhuanshui Pass is the northwest soldiers under General Xiao. The border guarded by the Northwest Army, if you really want to talk about it, is the most stable here, and there are few conflicts with the Qingguo side! ”
"These wheat...... How to plant at the border? Han Mo asked curiously.
The county guard of Wu County said with a smile: "These wheat are from the Northwest Army, which is a military order issued by General Xiao Da, to raise soldiers with soldiers and reduce the burden on the people in the country." Every spring planting and autumn harvest season, General Xiao will send a group of soldiers out of it to cultivate and plant by themselves, and when the autumn harvest comes, they can replenish a large number of military rations for the border guards. Pointing to the west: "General Han has only seen this piece, in fact, in the entire northwest line, such large-scale grain cultivation can be seen everywhere. ”
The team was slowly descending the mountain, Han Mo was standing on the top of the mountain on horseback, and suddenly saw a group of people and horses appearing from the sky, and that group of people and horses was like lightning, and they were speeding towards the convoy.
Han Mo immediately shook the reins of his horse and rushed down the mountain.
