Although there are still several black smoke columns swaying upward, the Hanzhou Army is worthy of being a strong army in the past, and it has restored order to Hanmen Pass in a short period of time. The walls of the western city were large enough for four horses to pass side by side, and Zhao Yu was taken to the corner tower on the northwest side, where the vast Gobi could be seen in full view.

The Changxia camp stationed outside the pass has been surrounded by the Hanzhou army on all sides, but Changxia's eagle banner has not fallen. Zhao Yu's hanging heart was relaxed, and he tried his best to deal with the situation in front of him.

The middle-aged samurai did not speak, but stood at the top of the stairs. From the very beginning, Zhao Yu knew that the "leader" in his mouth was not the Hanmen Pass garrison, because the one who could afford to invite the White Tiger Guard must not be an ordinary person. Zhao Yu simply took a closer look at his saber, the scabbard was slender, and it was wrapped in black shark skin with brass trim pattern. The value of this knife alone is more than the total equipment of a battalion of men.

With the sound of footsteps, a charming woman walked up. Her eyes are large and charming, and her black curls hang down from the side of her head to her full chest, and she is full of the charm of a mature woman. As soon as she saw Zhao Yu, she said, "Your Royal Highness, I am Cui Lin of Yuewen!" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Changxia and Yuewen were allies who jointly suppressed Duo Ying, so Princess Cui Lin doesn't have to be polite. ”

Cui Lin said: "Although the rise of Longdu has greatly damaged Yuewen's interests, my personal relationship with Yilin has not changed. Yesterday I suddenly got an important piece of information, so much so that I couldn't go to the Snow Chamber of Commerce to meet Yilin. The destructive power of the magician is indeed amazing, and half of the small eastern city is in flames, and the city gates are also destroyed. The Hanzhou Military Government originally wanted to play Chengtian and put the responsibility on Longdu and Changxia Camp, but I spent a lot of money to make this recital half a day late. ”

Zhao Yu said: "If you can remove Changxia from the folds and keep these three hundred people, what do you need me to do?" ”

Cui Lin said: "I'm not trying to blackmail the prince, but to show my sincerity, and what I want the prince to do is not bad for Changxia." Last night, someone saw Yilin riding through the east gate and heading in the direction of Biluo. You go and find Yilin and ask her to give up marrying the prince of Longbang. ”

"You mean the princess is safe and sound now! But I can't do that...... This is tantamount to making me betray the princess. ”

"Just a few days ago, Yuewen had formed an alliance with Duo Ying under the mediation of the Yuan Kingdom, and he was about to attack Longdu, and the reason for raising the army was to prevent Longdu from merging into Longbang. The army of the Yuan Kingdom has been assembled on the border of Changxia, and once the dragon capital is besieged, the two great powers will enter Modong. ”

"Of course I understand the stakes of luring the wolf into the house, but will the princess's marriage really be the fuse?"

Cui Lin shook her head and said, "I have argued with her about this issue, the Dragon State is eager to get the Hanhai Corridor, just as the Yuan Kingdom intends to touch the Snow Country's homeland, they are bound to get it. As long as the marriage is completed, the first thing Longbang will do is to annex Longdu and control Modong, so as to monopolize the trade route to the west, which is absolutely not allowed by the Yuan Kingdom. We must remove their excuse for going to war, and then unite Yuewen, Duoying, and Changxia to fight against the enemy. Modong must not fall into the hands of the Long State and the Yuan Kingdom, otherwise we will become slaves if we become kings and lose. ”

Zhao Yu looked at the yellow sand in the distance, and the princess's love and care for him in the past three years appeared in front of him, and he closed his eyes in pain.

Outside the gate of Hanmen Guanxi, Zhao Yu met Han Gang, the right commander. Han Gang is not tall, but his figure is very strong, and when he saw Zhao Yu, he knelt down on one knee: "Your Royal Highness, the lord hopes that you can return to Beijing as soon as possible." Now that the Snow Clan is openly infighting, the situation in Modong is unstable, and His Highness must not be involved in it anymore! ”

Zhao Yu said: "Han Gang, I have repaired a book, you go back and hand it over to your father." I have made it clear in the letter that my father will not blame you, but will promote you. But there's something I'm going to arrange for you to do. ”

Han Gang said: "In the past three years, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been very kind to a certain person, and a certain person will definitely repay his kindness!" ”

"When I go back, the number of the guard battalion will be removed, but the team will not disperse. Shuonan will take them on a secret operation, and you will have to support them secretly. ”

"Understood! Han Gang will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness! ”

A little later, Zhao Yu came to a mansion in Dongcheng. When he had dismounted, the guard at the gate took the reins of his horse and led him in.

"I don't want to practice in the house!" A young girl rushed out of the gate, turned over and got on Zhao Yu's horse. The guard didn't dare to pull at her, so he let go of the reins and let her go.

"Xia Dan! You give me back! Cui Lin followed angrily and said fiercely in the direction where the girl left.

"Let His Royal Highness the Prince smile, this is my little sister, I have sent someone to chase after me." Coming to the house, Cui Lin said, "She will be sent by Yuewen as a messenger to participate in the Snow Flower Festival held in Chengtian. ”

The girl's age is only twelve or thirteen years old, and her face is still childish.

"Yuewen offended Long Bang because of her private trade with Yueguo, and Princess Xia Dan may be troubled a lot on this trip."

"Longbang prides itself on being a civilized power, even if there is resentment, in the face of a little girl, it will not be too much. Moreover, she has been playing the piano well since she was a child, and she can also cater to the hobbies of the Longbang royal family. ”

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Xia Dan grew up under my watch, how can I bear it? Since the rain shadow was burned by the fire, Yuewen has lost control of the Modong Trade Road, and now it is still surviving, relying on the dragon capital to give up a little profit. If this child can stay in Chengtian, it will be better than suffering in this desert, isn't it? ”

Zhao Yu was silent, and said half-loudly: "I will set off tomorrow, I have already written a letter to advise my father to send troops to rescue Longdu." If I go to Chengtian, I will definitely try my best to take care of Princess Xia Dan. ”

Cui Lin finally couldn't help it, and silently left two lines of tears.

The next day, the sky had just dawned, and the morning breeze at Hanmen Pass still had a chilly chill.

"Let me go with you, Your Highness, I really can't stand that woman's temper." Mu Hua said with a frown.

Zhao Yu shook his head and put his hand on his shoulder: "Lan Wei is a Duoying person, it is inevitable that there is some estrangement between us, you are only responsible for her safety, and the rest can go with her." Now only Mu Baixi's whereabouts are unknown, and you have to pay attention to find it at Hanmen Pass. Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to show it in the future! ”

He said to Shuo Nan again: "Shuo Nan, after you bring the ashes of your brother back to Changxia, you will act according to the plan." I allow you to act as an opportunity and not as a retribution. ”

With that, Zhao Yu turned over and got on his horse and galloped eastward. After walking for a few miles, he looked back and saw that Hanmen Pass had become a black spot on the horizon.

Many years later, whenever Zhao Yu recalled the boundless Gobi and the long yellow sand sweeping the world, he could always hear himself at that time say to his current self: It's just a grain of yellow sand.
