Chapter 23: Going to the Border (1)
After the banquet, Bai Chuxia was called to the imperial study, looking at Bai Chuxia with a cold face and a face like water in front of him, Xuanyuan Kun asked, "You go to the border pass, are you sure?" "He is really crazy to believe such a woman who does not leave the door and stays in the house all day long embroidering.
"The courtiers are 100% sure." Bai Chuxia's face was confident.
"So sure?" Seeing that Bai Chuxia was full of confidence, Xuanyuan Kun frowned slightly, "Do you know that the hussar general at the border pass, your grandfather Zhang Xunfu, has led the troops for more than 40 years, and he is not sure about this battle. ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to give it a go for Northern Qin, if they don't win this battle, the courtiers will never return to Beijing." Bai Chuxia knew that with her words alone, Xuanyuan Kun would not be able to trust her, but she was not in a hurry to win his trust, as long as she could go to the border pass.
Seeing that Bai Chuxia was so confident, Xuanyuan Kun didn't say anything anymore, and said seriously, "If you can help win this battle, I will promise you three things." ”
"The courtiers thanked the king." Bai Chuxia thanked him, his red lips hooked slightly, it was really smooth!
She never thought that the king would give her such a promise, so these three things, if she proposed to cancel the marriage contract with Xuanyuan Ming, wouldn't it be logical.
Originally, she wanted to win this battle, and if she was rewarded for her deeds, she proposed to cancel the marriage contract at that time.
I didn't expect the king to allow her three things, which seemed more justified.
"When are you leaving?" Xuanyuan Kun asked again.
"The courtiers will leave tomorrow." Bai Chuxia replied.
Suddenly remembering something, Xuanyuan Kun's face was a little polished, "Okay, I sent someone to protect you secretly." ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers only need to bring the maidservant Begonia, it is a little inconvenient for there to be many people." Bai Chuxia refused, she didn't want to take a large number of officers and soldiers with her, otherwise she would delay a lot of time along the way, she didn't have much time, and if she delayed a few more days, it would be too late to go to the time of the big war.
"You are alone, with only one maid, no," Xuanyuan Kun disagreed, only two weak women went out, no martial arts, too dangerous, "I sent twenty secret guards to protect you, but you can go all the way to the border." ”
Xuanyuan Kun sent people to follow him with some selfish intentions, on the surface, he said that he was the guarantor Bai Chuxia, but in fact he went to help the hussar general Zhang Xunfu.
In recent days, there has been no good news about the war in Beiyan, and the war at the border pass is extremely severe.
He sent more secret guards to follow, which could also increase some power, and his secret guards were all one against a hundred.
"The courtiers thanked the king." Feeling that he couldn't refuse, Bai Chuxia knelt down and thanked him. Moreover, the king sent a secret guard, and the physical strength and martial arts of the secret guard are incomparable with the officers and soldiers, and they are all talents who are one in a million, if they go with such a secret guard, it will be much more convenient to do things.
He had set out for the king tomorrow morning, and twenty guards were to meet her at the gates of the city.
Due to the urgency of time, there was a difference of seven days from the time of the previous war, and they had to rush non-stop for these seven days, so Bai Chuxia asked to ride horses along the way, not in carriages.
In Xuanyuan Kun's opinion, he even glanced at Bai Chuxia.
A weak woman who travels such a long distance will feel tired even if she rides in a carriage, let alone riding a horse.
However, she stays in the boudoir all day, can she ride a horse?
Although I had some doubts, I agreed.
Out of the study, Bai Chuxia followed the eunuch to the place where the carriage was placed and saw Begonia, and Zhang Jinxiu, Lin and Zhang Wenxian were also there.
Seeing Bai Chuxia, Zhang Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chuxia's hand, "Chu Xia, what's the matter with you?" Why do you want to go to the border gate, you know how dangerous the border gate is now. ”
She asked Haitang just now, and Haitang just said that a few days ago, her young lady was preparing to go to the border pass, but she didn't know why she went to the border pass.
"I know it's dangerous," Bai Chuxia gave Zhang Jinxiu a reassuring look, looked at the Lin family and Zhang Wenxian, and continued, "Let my father-in-law and mother-in-law worry, the king has promised me three things if he can help win this battle." ”
Hearing Bai Chuxia's words, the Lin family was a little clear, glanced at Zhang Wenxian, and said uneasily, "That matter, your father-in-law and I will find a way, why do you go to the border, if there is an accident, but how is it good." ”
"Are you sure?" Looking at Bai Chuxia's clear eyes, Zhang Wenxian asked.
"Father-in-law, I'm sure." Bai Chuxia didn't want to deceive Zhang Wenxian and their family, they poured out their hearts and lungs for her, she couldn't lie to them, but she couldn't tell them that she was reborn, and after this battle, she knew how to break this situation, so she could only guarantee, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, I have the certainty of victory in this battle." ”
"Okay," knowing that Bai Chuxia was not a liar, seeing that she looked serious, Zhang Wenxian was a little skeptical, but still said, "When will you leave?" ”
"Tomorrow."
"So fast?" Lin was surprised.
"I have agreed with the king, and I will leave tomorrow, and the king has sent twenty secret guards to protect me, and my stepmother can rest assured that I will come back safely." Bai Chuxia explained.
"Good. Since you are so determined and determined, I won't persuade you for my mother, but you must be careful and protect yourself along the way. The Lin family was a little reluctant, just recognized their goddaughter, and before they had time to buy a flowing water seat, they were about to separate.
"Thank you, stepmother." For the Lin family, Bai Chuxia was very moved.
Her own father, knowing that he was going to the border, didn't wait for her, and left directly, thinking that he was not worried about her.
"Madam, don't worry, even if I die, I will protect Miss." Begonia stepped forward and swore with a firm face.
"Good boy," Lin stepped forward and touched Begonia's head, "All these years, I am fortunate to have you." ”
Haitang replied with a smile, "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to follow Miss's side." ”
She grew up with Miss since she was a child, her mother was Madame's maid, and she and Miss were born six months apart, and she was six months older than Miss Miss.
Mrs. died of dystocia when she gave birth to Miss, and her mother became Miss's nurse, and the two grew up drinking the milk of a mother, and her mother confessed to her before she died, so that she could protect Miss and serve Miss all her life, and never betray Miss.
Miss is also very good to her, she has never beaten and scolded her for fifteen years, she is like a relative to Miss Miss, Miss is her only relative in this world, and she is a person who is more important than her life.
Looking at the begonia with a determined face, Bai Chuxia was very moved, she believed in her, she would protect her with her life.
Then Bai Chuxia took Begonia to Zhang's Mansion and didn't leave until dinner.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she learned that Xuanyuan Ming had been waiting for her in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Walking to the hall, I saw Xuanyuan Ming, Bai Junxiong, Xu Shi, and Bai Wanxia were all there, Bai Chuxia looked indifferent, and stepped forward to salute, "I've seen the prince, my father, and my mother." ”
"Chu Xia," seeing Bai Chu Xia, Xu Shi pretended to be worried, and stepped forward to take her hand, "How can you say that you want to go to the border pass, that pass, how can you go as a woman." The implication is that Bai Chuxia went to the border just to be strong.
"Mother," reaching out to take Xu's hand, Bai Chuxia's face was cold, and his voice was as indifferent as water, "This battle has been fought for a month, because of the battle, the people are not happy, I want to go to the border to see if I can help my grandfather." ”
"Moreover, the king has promised me and sent someone to protect me, so my mother does not need to worry."
"It's not trivial to go to the border, and you have to be very careful when you go." At this time, Bai Junxiong also spoke up.
Although he didn't love her for more than ten years, she was his daughter after all, and he was still a little worried about her in his heart.
"It's the father, the daughter will be careful." Bai Chuxia nodded, still indifferent.
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is her real home, compared with Zhang's Mansion, it doesn't feel like home at all.
"Chu'er," Xuanyuan Ming looked at Bai Chuxia in front of him, he didn't know what to say, he checked her, she couldn't dance, and she couldn't paint, but in the hall today, she not only danced well, but her paintings were also excellent, he didn't know what else she didn't know.
Why can't he find out, is she hiding too deeply?
"Lord, after this, the prince must remember the promise he made to me."
Bai Chuxia looked at Xuanyuan Ming and glanced at Bai Wanxia, seeing this, Xuanyuan Ming also understood what she was talking about. "Don't worry, this king is waiting for you to come back."
After thinking about it, he said, "This king has sent some people to protect you. ”
"No need for the prince, the king has sent twenty secret guards to protect me, and I will leave tomorrow morning." Bai Chuxia refused.
Hearing Bai Chuxia say that the king had sent twenty secret guards to protect her, Xuanyuan Ming was a little surprised.
My father actually sent a secret guard to protect her, but the secret guard had never been sent to anyone, and it was rare to send it to protect her this time.
Then I thought of the hussar general Zhang Xunfu, and it was a little clear that my father was secretly helping Zhang Xunfu through her hand.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Ming only had Bai Chuxia in his eyes, and there was no self, Bai Wanxia had hatred on his face.
stepped forward to Bai Chuxia and said softly, "Sister, you go to the border pass, all the men over there are men, there are no women, you must be very careful when you go over as a woman." ”
Bai Wanxia was reminding Bai Chuxia to be careful on the surface, but secretly she meant to remind her that the place she was going to was a place full of men.
"Sister, rest assured, there are secret guards all the way to protect you, and there is a grandfather at the border, so there is nothing to worry about." Bai Chuxia looked at Bai Wanxia coldly, with a calm face.
This woman will come out to be a demon at any time, and will clean her up when she comes back.
