Chapter 17 Traveling Westward with You

On the ninth day of September, Yongcheng was lively on this day.

This day is the day when Princess Yangping of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the pro-Chu State are in harmony, and it is also the time for the pro-envoy to set off.

As the emperor, Li Hongsheng personally sent the princess out of the palace gate with hundreds of civil and military officials to show his importance to this harmony.

Mu Wanqin disguised herself as a man and became Mu Shaobai, and at this time, as a school scrivener, she also followed Gu An's side and acted with the mission.

This time, in order to show its national strength, the Southern Tang Kingdom can be described as a lot of money, countless gold and silver treasures, as a dowry of more than 100 carriages. The number of envoys was unprecedented, with several hundred palace maids and eunuchs alone, and one or five thousand army guards.

Therefore, this time the harmony is also extremely strong.

"This time, I made peace with the state of Chu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Since the fall of the Great Wei, the Three Kingdoms have competed for hegemony in the world, resulting in the people's misery, and today I want to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Chu State, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous era. Li Hongsheng appeared on the palace wall, looked at the countless subjects below, and said the purpose of this peace.

Although his words are nonsense for those who understand everything through everything, for many people who don't know why, they feel the good intentions of His Majesty the Emperor, and they are even more respectful to Li Hongsheng.

This is their virtuous and virtuous emperor, a strong backing for them to shelter from the wind and rain, and the guardian god of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Countless people fell to their knees one after another, shouting at Li Hong, "Long live!" ”

Li Hongsheng saw that his speech had achieved its goal, and he was also pleased to smile. Then he said to a small yellow door beside him: "Go and proclaim the decree!" ”

"No!" The little yellow gate immediately went out of the palace gate, came to the mission, and said to Gu An: "Your Majesty has a decree, Gu An will accept it!" ”

Gu An immediately saluted to welcome the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Today there is Yangping, the good relationship between the Southern Tang and Chu countries, and the special title of Princess Heshuo is a reward!" After speaking, he sent the holy decree to Gu An's hands and asked him to deliver it on his behalf, and then took out a holy decree and said to Gu An: "Young General, this time it was awarded to you, you can accept the decree!" ”

"Gu's Zhi'an, civil and military all-rounder, both ability and political integrity, today is specially given the festival, named General Xuanwei, and added the title of Wen Yingbo. As the plenipotentiary of this peace and pro, act cheaply! Chin this! After Xiao Huangmen finished speaking, he said to Gu An with a smile, "Earl Gu, congratulations!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Gu An took the holy decree and echoed the little yellow door.

Mu Wanqin looked at Gu An from the side, her face was happy, she was happy that Gu An was reused by His Majesty.

Gu An then came to her side and said, "We are about to set off, can Shaobai ride a horse?" ”

"This-" Mu Wanqin hesitated, but she didn't know how to ride a horse.

When Gu An saw this, she didn't understand that she would definitely not be able to ride a horse.

So he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll arrange a carriage for you." When I have time, I'll teach you how to ride a horse on the road! ”

Mu Wanqin pretended to be nothing, but in fact, she was a little happy in her heart!

She nodded slightly: "Okay, listen to you!" ”

Gu An looked at her a little strangely when he saw this, but he didn't think much about it.

At this time, Mu Wanqin's cheeks were slightly red, but it was a little strange, and Gu An couldn't help but feel weird.

Isn't it just to teach him to ride a horse, what's the big deal!

And he didn't know that Mu Shaobai in his eyes was his fiancΓ©e. Hearing that he was going to teach horseback riding, which required close contact, naturally I was a little confused.

Gu An didn't have time to think about it, and as soon as he raised his hand, the team set off under his command.

Emperor Li Hongsheng on the palace wall watched them leave and asked, "Wen Yuan, do you say they can complete the task?" ”

Wen Yuan is Gu Lun's word.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Gu An can succeed!" Although Gu Lun's face was dark, he was still very confident in his son, so he definitely answered Li Hongsheng's question.

"Well, Boyan is really good. He will live up to my expectations! Li Hongsheng listened to Gu Lun's words and nodded in agreement.

He believed in his long-time partner, but also in his son.

Ten miles outside Yongcheng, there is a long slope, called Shili Pavilion.

At this moment, Li Ji, the king of Jin, Li Jing, Ning Yuan, and his third sister, Princess Anping, were quietly waiting for Gu An's team in a pavilion.

This time, Gu An sent an envoy to the Chu State, and the object of his friendship was the fourth princess, so they naturally wanted to come to see them off.

They didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor meant, so they naturally thought that this time, the fourth princess would have a hard time returning to her hometown.

Therefore, it is difficult to see each other again.

"Your Highness, they're here!" Ning Yuan watched a long procession appear not far away, and said to the season.

"Well, little third son, you go and invite the third emperor sister and General Gu to come." King Jin commanded to a small yellow door beside him.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xiao Sanzi replied respectfully, and then retreated in the direction of the team.

"Who?" Just when the third son arrived at the front of the team, he was discovered by the guards.

"I am the entourage of King Jin, and King Jin wants to meet General Gu and Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Xiao Sanzi said loudly.

"What's the matter?" A voice came from behind.

"General!" Several guards saw the comer and saluted.

This is a middle-aged man, it is Zhao Chong, the deputy general of the mission.

"It turned out to be the third father-in-law, I don't know what happened here?" As soon as Zhao Chong saw the arrival, he recognized his identity.

"It turned out to be General Zhao, I came to invite the princess and the young general to meet on the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" The third father-in-law said with a smile, he recognized this general, who was General Gu Lun's favorite general. Thinking that this time, General Gu Lun was not worried about his son, so he specially arranged for this person to accompany him.

"Well, you wait a moment. I'm going to ask for a major general! Zhao Chong understood the relationship between his young general and King Jin, so he didn't ask more.

"Young General, the third father-in-law beside King Jin is here, saying that he wants to invite you to meet the princess!" Zhao Chong came to Gu An's side and said to Gu An.

"Uncle Chong, you and the other three uncles are here, maintain the discipline of the army, and I'll go back as soon as I go!" Gu An nodded at Zhao Chong, he respected Zhao Chong very much, this Zhao Chong was a relative who watched him grow up.

There are also three people who are also his father's helpers arranged for him, and they are all convinced. He is also a real soldier he admires, so he has a lot of respect for these four people.

One is named Du Ze, the other is named Li Xu, and the other is named Gu Yan. They are all his father's right-hand men, and this time they were specially arranged for him to assist him in completing this mission!

"The major general will go by himself, and the four of us can wait here!" Zhao Chong and the four said solemnly.

Gu An then came to Mu Wanqin's carriage, and Mu Wanqin and Ruoyi were sitting inside.

"Brother Shaobai, you can follow me to meet King Jin!" Gu An deliberately introduced Mu Shaobai to King Jin.

"It's good!" Mu Wanqin thought for a while and agreed.

After that, they went to Shili Pavilion with the four princesses, who are now Princess Heshuo.

I saw King Jin and others waiting for them here.

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time!" Gu An said to Li Ji, and then he saluted the third princess.

"Brother An'er doesn't need to be polite!" Li Ji smiled and flicked Gu An, and then said to Princess Yangping: "The fourth sister is so precious when she goes!" ”

"The emperor's brother has a heart. I'm also bothering you and the third sister to give me a ride! Princess Yangping said calmly.

After saying goodbye to a few people, Ning Yuan suddenly looked at Mu Wanqin and said with a surprised expression: "Brother Shaobai? I didn't expect you to walk with Boyan this time! ”

"Shaobai? Could it be that which Mu Shaobai you often mention? Li Ji also looked at Mu Wanqin with a look of surprise, "Brother An mentioned you to me last time, but I didn't expect to see you here this time!" What a disrespect! ”

"Your Highness is well!" Mu Wanqin said to King Jin with a smile.

"Your Highness, this time I invited Brother Shaobai to go to Chu State with me, and you can also give me advice!" Gu An said with a smile on the side.

"Brother Shaobai has a heart!" Li Ji said very happily, he also heard that several people around him praised this Mu Shaobai, and having him with him this time can also help Gu An a lot.

After chatting for a while, Gu An returned to the team with the fourth princess and Mu Wanqin, and headed towards the Chu State again.
