Suddenly, the moving carriage stopped.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Wei Yingnan raised his eyes, and a look of doubt appeared on his handsome little face.

Xun Yang also felt a little puzzled, "According to the distance, it shouldn't have reached the territory of Jiang Guo yet?" So, Xun Yang lifted the curtain and ordered a cavalryman guarding outside the carriage: "Go to the front and ask, why did the army stop?"

"Yes, sir. The cavalry received the order and immediately rode to the front of the ranks.

At this time, because the carriage suddenly stopped, the pure golden "blanket" behind Wei Yingnan suddenly moved, and then a golden lion face poked out from behind his waist, the lion shook its round head, shook its golden mane, and then opened its mouth, lazily yawned, but it showed its fangs like sharp knives, completely looking like it had just woken up, and then it stretched its head out from behind Wei Yingnan, with a pair of coal-like eyes, looking around.

It turned out that the pure golden "blanket" behind Wei Yingnan was actually the body of a male lion, its fur was pure gold, and there was no trace of miscellaneous hair on its body, it was very beautiful, like a noble prince.

Because of this, Wei Yingnan liked it very much and named it "Lion".

Lion is Wei Yingnan's pet and has been keeping it for three years, and Wei Yingnan will take it with him wherever he goes.

After seeing the Lion Lord wake up, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Wei Yingnan's mouth, he gently stroked the Lion Lord's fluffy blonde hair, and his eyes were full of doting spring light. Only when he looks at the lion lord, Wei Yingnan will show his softness as a woman, at this time he is like a little girl in the boudoir teasing his pet, but his pet is not a cat or a dog, but a majestic and fierce adult male lion.

"Oh, Lion, you're awake, you little lazy, how long have you been asleep?" Wei Yingnan rubbed Lion's cheeks and said provocatively.

The Lion Lord stretched out his blood-red tongue and licked Wei Yingnan's little hands, his well-behaved appearance did not have the momentum of the King of the Forest at all, but when the Lion Lord looked at Xun Yang, his eyes suddenly turned cold, shooting out a cold and threatening cold light, and from time to time it also showed its hideous fangs, which made people shudder.

Like Wei Yingnan, the Lion Lord will only show a gentle and cute side to Wei Yingnan, and when he looks at others, it will reveal the fierce appearance of the Beastmaster, staring at everyone who approaches Wei Yingnan with a cold gaze, once that person does something wrong, it will open its bloody mouth, wave its sharp claws, and bite that person alive.

Although he had seen Lion Jue many times, every time he looked at Lion's cold eyes, Xun Yang would always feel a chill on his back and his heart tremble, as if it would rush towards him at any time.

After a while, the cavalryman returned, "Tell your lord, Jiang Guo's greeting party has been found five miles ahead. General Wu Wei asked Gongzi what to do. ”

After listening to the cavalry's report, Xun Yang immediately asked Wei Yingnan for instructions and said: "Childe, the front is a greeting team sent by Jiang Guo, hehe, it seems that this Jiang Guo people are very respectful to our Wei State, and they actually sent a team to meet us twenty miles abroad, Childe, how do we respond?"

Xun Yang's face was very proud, but Wei Yingnan didn't think so, his little face was indifferent, and he said: "Maybe Jiang Guo sent a welcoming team out of respect for our Wei Kingdom, but from another aspect, this welcoming team may also come to monitor us." Jiang Guo was worried that our army would have other intentions when it entered Jiang Guo's territory, so he sent a team in advance, nominally to escort us, but in fact to monitor our every move to prevent chaos. ”

After listening to Wei Yingnan's analysis, Xun Yang nodded with a little understanding, "What Gongzi said is very true, then, in Childe's opinion, how should we respond to Jiang Guo's welcoming team?"

Wei Yingnan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since Jiang Guo has sent a greeting team, of course we can't refuse people's kindness, otherwise, it will seem that we really have bad intentions." ”

"However, this son will never let it go. Go, call General Wuwei over, by the way, and the boy Jiang Guo who met on the way the day before yesterday, also call him, I have something important to order. Wei Yingnan ordered the cavalry outside the curtain.

After receiving the order, the cavalry hurriedly rode forward again.

Not long after, a middle-aged general dressed in black iron armor rode a war horse and approached the side of the carriage, his expression was solemn, his eyes were majestic, this person was the general of the fourth rank Wuwei, Guo Chuan.

Behind Guo Chuan, there was a young man, he was fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a gray-white cloth coat, his wheat-colored face was still stained with some yellow dust, but a pair of dark eyes were bright, the young man was slender, his arms were strong and powerful, and his small face was raised with vigor.

Perhaps it was because of his spirit that he had taken a fancy to him, and when he heard that he was from Jiang Guoren's clan and was about to rush back to Jiang after a trip, Wei Yingnan asked Guo Chuan, the general of Wuwei, to take him with him, just to let him be the guide of the army.

Because Jiang was located in the extreme east of the East, Wei's army had never been to such a remote place, and the sheepskin map in their hands was also a long time ago, all of which were moldy, and many places were very blurry. Fortunately, thanks to this young man's guidance, the army was able to avoid taking the wrong road and go all the way.

"Childe, what do you command?" Guo Chuan sat on his horse, put his hands in front of him, and bent down to Wei Yingnan to ask.

Wei Yingnan lifted the curtain and said to Guo Chuan: "General Guo, you lead the army to meet the welcoming team sent by Jiang Guo, and then follow them to the capital of Jiang Guo, while Gongzi and Xun Yang go to the capital of Jiang Guo. Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and you must not let Jiang Guoren know. ”

After listening to Wei Yingnan's instructions, Guo Chuan and Xun Yang were both startled, the two glanced at each other, looked at each other, and then Guo Chuan said, "Son, don't." You and Lord Xunyang left the army and went to Jiang Country on their own, in case of an accident along the way, the last general can't afford it. ”

Xun Yang also admonished: "Yes, Childe. This Jiang country is located in a remote area, we have never been here, and we don't know how the security in Jiang country is, in case you encounter thieves and rogues along the way, or there are people and villains, they all say that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and Weichen is worried about the safety of the son. ”

Listening to the persuasion of the two, Wei Yingnan's face sank, his eyes were full of disgust and dissatisfaction, and he smiled: "Hehe, last year, my son once disguised himself and entered the Zhao Kingdom, with only my Lion Lord and two or three retinues by his side, and I have never had an accident." In front of me, a small Jiang country, what am I afraid of. ”

Seeing Wei Yingnan's resolute attitude, Guo Chuan and Xun Yang also understood each other in their hearts, "Our son is very tough, once the matter is decided, no one can stop it." ”

Helpless, Guo Chuan and Xun Yang had no choice but to obey the order.

"Lord Xunyang, you must take care of your son. Guo Chuan wanted Xun Yang to ask again.

Xun Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if I fight for my life, I won't let my son lose a single hair." ”

Guo Chuan looked at Xun Yang, then glanced at the Lion Lord lying beside Wei Yingnan, and thought: "With the two of them 'people' to protect the son, it should be fine." It is expected that there will never be anyone in the Jiang Kingdom who is the opponent of the two of them. ”

At this time, Wei Yingnan's eyes crossed Guo Chuan, looked at the Jiang Guo boy standing on the side of the road a little farther away, and shouted, "Hey, Jiang Guo boy, come forward." ”

The Jiang Guo boy looked up with a small face, his eyes looked at the sky, he held a piece of grass root in his mouth, his hands behind his head, a casual look, after hearing the shout, he threw away the grass roots, shook the dust on his clothes, and then walked to the side of the carriage, clasped his hands, and replied respectfully: "Jiang Guo boy is here, what are the instructions of this adult?"

Wei Yingnan changed to serious, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, behaved very approachable, and asked the young man: "Jiang Guo boy, let me ask you, in addition to the avenue in front, are there other paths to Jiang Guoguo's capital?"

Hearing this, the boy from Jiang Guo was slightly startled and replied: "My lord, the avenue in front is the fastest, and it only takes three days to reach the capital of Jiang Guoguo by walking along the avenue." There is a road that can't be walked, why do you have to ask the path?"

"Presumptuous, if my master asks you, you can answer truthfully, and you are not allowed to talk too much. Seeing that Jiang Guo's kid dared to ask back, Xun Yang's face was furious, and he immediately scolded and said.

Xun Yang deliberately called Wei Yingnan "master" instead of "son", for fear of exposing Wei Yingnan's true identity.

Wei Yingnan was not angry, but chuckled indifferently and said, "Xun Yang, don't be so rude, Jiang Guo boy, we just want to see more of Jiang Guo's scenery along the way." There are mostly some restaurants and inns on this avenue, and there is no natural scenery. As for me, I like to travel the most, so I want to ask you if there are any other trails. ”

Wei Yingnan's words were very "reasonable", Jiang Guo's eyes moved slightly, and a strange light flashed, but soon it became that kind of innocent eyes, the young man raised his smiling face and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I do know that there are other paths that can lead to Jiang Guoguo's capital." If the adults don't dislike it, Jiang Guo is willing to continue to lead the way for the adults. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yingnan was very happy, "Okay, Jiang Guo boy, I like you very much, so you will continue to lead the way for me." ”

After saying that, Wei Yingnan stepped out of the carriage, and in addition to Xun Yang and Lion, he selected a few more soldiers, and then ordered them to take off their armor, change into civilian clothes, and dress up as business travelers.

"Wei boy, lead the way for my master, this is a reward for you, and after receiving the road, there will be a reward. Guo Chuan rode on his horse, took out a gold ingot from under his armor, and after he finished speaking, he threw the gold at Jiang Guozi.

Then Guo Chuan turned to leave, at this time, he seemed to notice something unusual, and turned his face again, only to see Jiang Guozi holding the gold in his hand, and then threw the gold up and caught it, a small face was very calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Strange, did I throw the gold into his hand just now? I obviously threw it casually, and looking at the trajectory of the gold thrown out, the position where it fell should be in front of the Jiang Guo kid, and also, the position where the kid was standing has not moved, how did he catch the gold?" Guo Chuan was very puzzled in his heart.

"Is it the wind that blows? No way, how can the wind blow gold? What's going on?Could it be that the Jiang Guo kid moved forward, caught the gold, and then instantly stood back to his original position?" Guo Chuan couldn't help but guess, but looking at the young man again, he stood casually, and he didn't feel a little Wu Yao's fluctuation all over his body, completely looking like a country boy.

Guo Chuan shook his head, denied his guess, and explained to himself: "It is estimated that I am in a hurry for days and too tired, so my eyes are wrong, and it should be that the gold happened to fall into his hands." ”

After such a self-explanation, Guo Chuan rode away.

After seeing Guo Chuan leave, Jiang Guo's little face stopped smiling, his eyes suddenly cold, he looked at Wei Yingnan's back from a distance, and said secretly in his heart: "Wei Guogongzi, why do you want to disguise yourself and quietly enter the territory of my Jiang Kingdom? I have to keep an eye on him to see what his intentions are." ”
