Two days later, in the evening, Nianyun paced up and down in the dormitory, glancing anxiously out of the window from time to time.

The pothos helped her sit down, poured a cup of tea for her, and said, "Niangniang, relax, the horses have already been arranged." ”

Nian Yun asked again: "Are King Deng, King Sui, and the two princesses okay?" ”

Lu Pothos smiled: "The slave maid only visited in person an hour ago, it's all right, Niangniang doesn't have to worry." There are slaves and maids in the palace, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Green pothos has always been the most secure of the four palace people, so Nianyun entrusted the affairs of the palace to her.

Nianyun said again: "If you encounter something difficult, you will discuss it with Yuzhu Haoman, but if it doesn't work, let Yuzhu report to Your Majesty, or go to Shengping Mansion to ask the two princesses for help." ”

The pothos hurriedly responded: "The slave knows." ”

At this time, I heard someone report outside: "Guo Fuma and Qixi Gonggong have come to bid farewell to the noble concubine Niangniang according to His Majesty's order." ”

Nian Yun jumped up from the stool again, "Quickly let the two of them in." ”

The green pothos sent all the palace people outside, and then opened the door and invited them in.

Guo Yan and Qixi had already changed into military uniforms, wearing cowhide armor and helmets in their hands.

Guo Yan smiled, didn't wait for her to speak, and sat down directly, "Looking at Niangniang's dress, this general's etiquette can't be done." ”

Nian Yun was wearing a set of little eunuch clothes at this time, her hair was tied into the crown of the eunuch in the palace, she was not very tall, and she looked like a young eunuch with clear eyebrows.

Qixi is used to saluting the concubine with a high crown in gorgeous clothes, but this time it is her own armor, and the concubine is dressed as a little eunuch instead, the smile on Qixi's face can't be hidden, and the few pimples are red with a smile.

Nianyun looked at Guo Yan and pretended to sigh sadly: "Alas, what can I do, thirty years in Hedong and forty years in Hexi, and now I have become the attendants of two envoys, where can I still afford the courtesy of the two, it's time to salute you!" ”

Seeing that the sky was getting darker outside, Guo Yan said: "The Shence Army has been stationed outside the city, so we can also set off." ”

Nian Yun and Fennel, the two "little eunuchs", were mixed in the other three cronies of Qixi in Penglai Palace, carrying three or four small boxes out.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, several guards stopped him, and Guo Yan said: "It is the reward of the noble concubine Niangniang, and they are all medicines that can be used in the army, and Niangniang ordered someone to send them to the army outside the city for this special envoy." ”

The guard checked the waist card and let him go.

It's just that no one noticed and knew that when they came back, the little eunuch was two less.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the sergeants had already gotten up to make a fire and cook, Guo Yan asked outside the tent, "Can you get up?" ”

Fennel hurriedly opened the tent and came out, and at this time, the master and servant were already wearing the clothes of the guards and the special cowhide soft armor, and they were heroic.

Guo Yan smiled: "Yes, it's even better than I imagined, and the movements are quite fast." As he spoke, he took something out of his bosom and hung it around her neck, "Wear it well." ”

When Nianyun took a closer look, it turned out to be a heart guard. One side is polished smooth and can be used as a mirror; The other side is openwork with a pattern, and there are two small holes, and a rope is worn.

She took a look at Guo Yan: "You still wear it yourself, you are the coach......

Guo Yan smiled and took her hand to touch his chest, and Nian Yun realized that the soft armor on his body was different, and there was a thick piece of heavy metal on his chest.

Originally, the metal armor of ordinary soldiers weighed dozens of catties, which was very heavy, and although Nian Yun was not very delicate, he could hardly move after wearing it. Therefore, Guo Yan specially dressed more than a dozen of his personal guards with special cowhide soft armor, which reduced a lot of weight. But for the sake of safety, the man's soft armor chest is still a large piece of solid fine iron heartguard.

Guo Yan said: "This is heavy enough, so I didn't use it for you, you hide this heart goggle." ”

The army of 5,000 men had breakfast and officially set out for the expedition, and the Son of Heaven led his ministers to watch them set off from a distance from the tower.

It was already a slightly cool September, the weather was beginning to be clear, the war horses stepped on the slightly declining green grass and yellow sand outside the city, the spears of the soldiers were lined up, and the apricot yellow flag of the Shence Army was hunting and flying in the wind.

Guo Yan was dressed in a military uniform and a blood-red cloak, standing proudly on his horse and holding his sword above his head.

"Traitors have no way, people and gods kill together! Destiny Val, to revitalize the king's division! On the march—"

The horse's hooves raised gray and yellow dust, and for a while, the sky and the earth changed color. At this moment, the two handsome-looking attendants behind him, like all the soldiers, were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and rode their horses to the southeast with the army.

Because most of the Shence army were infantry, only their hundreds of cavalry, although they did not carry much food and grass, they still needed to stop and wait for a while.

After traveling for more than two hours, there was some distance from the team behind, Guo Yan led people to find an open space, and ordered everyone to rest in place and take some dry food to fill their stomachs.

Fennel took a bamboo basket from the horse, which contained a small hand stove, opened the lid, took out a pot of hot water from it, poured a bowl, and handed it to Nianyun: "Goro, use some hot water." ”

Nianyun told them that she was still Guo Xiaowu outside. She took it with both hands and smiled gratefully, "It's hard to have this for you." ”

I gave some to Guo Yan and Qixi and a few of them, took out some dry food and used it, and suddenly said: "Third brother, think about it for me, I always feel as if something has not been done well, and I am very uneasy." ”

Guo Yan thought for a while, but didn't think of anything wrong, because he smiled: "I'm afraid I'm worried about the children?" ”

Nianyun smiled: "No, I just came out for a while, and I thought that I was not in the palace, whether they ate well or not, whether they were dressed enough, whether anyone would embarrass them." In fact, in the palace, isn't it often impossible to see people for half a month and a month! She looked at Guo Yan, "You naturally can't understand it." ”

Guo Yan took a bite of dry food and laughed: "Who said I can't understand it, you only know how many children you miss, don't I think they are my own children?" I don't want to think about who collected the games they used when they were young! ”

Nianyun patted him gently: "Yes, yes, I know that you are competent as an uncle!" ”

In the afternoon, they drove for more than three hours, and when it was getting late, they found a place to set up camp, and the cavalry first set up stoves and fires, tents, etc., and when the infantry arrived, they could eat and rest directly.

Guo Fei and the others also cooked by the guards, Nianyun accompanied Guo Fei to look at the marching map in the big tent, and Fennel went to the luggage grain and grass cart at the back to look for grain and rice.

Men were sent from each camp to fetch rice, and one of the guards in front of them took two bags of rice from the cart and threw them on the ground. While the bag of rice was being dragged, Fennel suddenly heard something in the car, so she pushed away the crowd and squeezed over.

The army was full of rough people, and then he said impatiently: "Squeeze anything, there's everything!" ”

Fennel hurriedly said, "This little brother, can you hear any sounds in the car?" ”

The man was about to say impatiently that he didn't hear it, but then he heard the ** voice of a little girl in the car.

"There's someone in the car!" Fennel is a woman, and when she heard a voice in the car, she hurriedly rushed up, opened the rice bags three times and two times, and asked, "Who is it?" Who's in the car? ”

There was no response in the car for a long time, as if the people in the car were hesitating, and after waiting for a while, a child's head finally came out of the car, and Fennel hurriedly went up to catch her.

Take a closer look, this little girl wearing a trumpet hu suit and a woman dressed as a man is not a princess and who is it!

Princess Taihe rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up, nervously looked at the rough men around her, and then looked at the fennel dressed as the guard, and recognized it as one of the four palace people beside the concubine, so she leaned over and grabbed the placket of fennel.

Fennel was frightened, but she didn't dare to say more, so she took the grain and rice, and hurriedly dragged her back to the camp.

When she arrived at the camp, Nian Yun was also surprised to see her, and asked, "Luoluo, why are you here?" ”

Luoluo pouted, "Mother didn't bring Luoluo, Luoluo came by herself, Luoluo followed His Majesty to the city gate in the morning to see off his mother and uncle, and while the guards were not paying attention, he hid in the grain cart...... Mother, Luoluo also wants to go to war! ”

Nianyun's face darkened, "No, fortunately, you haven't gone far, your mother sent someone to send you back!" ”

Luoluo peeked at Nianyun pitifully, and saw that she couldn't move, so she had to go to Guo Yan with her eyes: "Uncle, you help Luoluo talk to his mother, Luoluo will be obedient, Luoluo really doesn't add to the chaos, don't send Luoluo back to the palace, okay?" ”

Guo Yan has no children at home, so he is very spoiled by these nephews or nephews. Where could he resist this little girl begging him so pitifully, so he had to bend down and touch Luoluo's little head: "Then Luoluo will go and promise your mother, first, the march is very hard, and you must not complain about being tired; second, everything is subject to the arrangement of the uncle and the mother; Thirdly, there will be danger on the battlefield, you will see dead people, you can't be afraid, you can't be cowardly, okay? ”

Luoluo nodded hurriedly, and ran to Nian Yun to kneel down like a little adult, "Mother! Luoluo is willing to join the army, Luoluo promises not to be afraid of hardship or tiredness, not afraid of timidity, and hopes that his mother will let Luoluo stay! ”

This child is only a few years old, but he has a little bit of the bearing of a princess of Zhenguo. If she really has such a mind, she would have wronged her by locking her up in Chang'an City for the rest of her life.

Nianyun sighed lightly, leaned over and pulled her up, "That's it, Luoluo, you remember, there is no joke in the army, since you have followed the army, everything will be handled in accordance with military law, and a military order will be issued, don't break the rules just because you are a princess!" ”

Luoluo listened to her and agreed that she stayed, her eyes lit up, and she replied loudly: "Yes, Luoluo understands!" ”

Nian Yun looked at Guo Yan with a wry smile, "The third brother should send someone back to report to His Majesty, maybe now the Taiji Palace is making a lot of trouble!" ”
