Chapter 2: The Marriage of the Princess 2
Princess Jinglu got married in the middle of the night, and the water basket was full at the hour, and we got up from the main palace gate, the guard of honor was prepared, the curtain was secure, and the four horses were holding a huge sedan tail.
Out of the palace gate and into Liangzhu City, hundreds of soldiers on the street along the road, each holding a sweep and a gold-plated and silver-plated bucket, retreated to the side to bow down at the moment before the sedan head appeared.
I was in the sedan car in a row behind the red Luo pin gold palm fan, accompanied by two happy women, one is the concubine of King Fengzhuang, the lord of Liuli Weng, according to the seniority, I should call her a cousin, and the other is Zhu Dong, the daughter of Zuo Cheng, all of them are beads and green hair, and there are two red silk silks behind.
I secretly lifted the curtain behind the sedan chair, and saw more than a dozen people holding eight treasure cups behind us, Zuo Cheng's daughter coughed lightly, and I was so frightened that I immediately let go of the hand that lifted the curtain.
Ji Mo Yi was quiet, she hadn't spoken for a few hours, she was holding a few boxes of fruits and preserved meat in her hands, and the dark green collar was as white as jade.
After walking for an hour, the brigade of eight or nine hundred people walked very slowly, and there was no rest all night, my eyelids were already fighting up and down, and then I looked at Miss Zhu, she was in a similar situation with me, I was about to yawn, and tears filled my eyes.
I saw Ji Mo Yi in my tearful eyes, this yawn was interrupted by Ji Mo Yi's precarious seat, a daughter of a king is still so well-behaved, I shook my head, I can't embarrass my mother and brother, but I am also a master from the palace.
I don't know when I opened my eyes again, and my head was already on Jimo's shoulder, and she was motionless, her eyes still clear.
I guess she hasn't rested, I'm already awake, but shame suddenly seeps into her cheeks, pillowing all the way, what is this, trying to find a way to remove it from her shoulder.
I was just about to stretch and pretend to wake up, when the carriage suddenly slammed, and my head hit the wall of the carriage, causing tears to roll in my eyes, "What's wrong?" ”
She opened her mouth and said, "Liangzhu has already been released." ”
The box full of Shi Guo in her hand has never moved its position, and she has maintained this movement all the way, so endurance, I can't help but admire this glazed master.
Out of the city, outside the city is the Northern Qi soldiers and horses to welcome relatives, about a thousand people, I see that this battle is really big, their boxes are tied to the car, a silver bell is hung in front of the car and horses, there is a sound in the line, so that passers-by can avoid early, the Northern Qi and the Southern Wei are even relatives, I really can't think of anyone who dares to block on the road.
The carving is to the west, 108,000 miles away from here, and Bo Xi has an alliance with the Northern Qi, so naturally he will not touch his hand here.
As for the remaining Donghu, although the situation with the Southern Wei was tense, a truce was set in advance for five years, and this marriage was within five years.
It's just that we calculated the personnel accurately, and we didn't predict that there would be a major drought in Donghu through Donghu, and the team of thousands of people might be cut off from water.
We didn't even think that there was really no one in the Five Kingdoms who dared to stop the marriage between the Southern Wei and the Northern Qi, but this group of steppe wolves is different from people, they don't care about the change of power in this land, the change of dynasty, they don't need to look at people's faces to act, they only obey the drive of nature and follow the call of the stomach.
We were not aware of the danger that was quietly coming, and this beautiful prairie attracted all the attention of the stormy army, and even General Sun asked the maid to ask the princess if she wanted to stop the journey and get off the car to rest.
Jinglu probably didn't agree, because our carriages and horses didn't stop, the sky was getting dark, this grassland was so vast that I thought it was an endless green river, and as soon as the sky of the grassland fell, the cold wind came.
Ji Mo Yi looked sideways at the hill in the distance, it was a small yellow hill, I was wondering, how could that hill not grow grass, and after a while the answer was placed in front of me, it was not a hill at all, but a group of yellow sheep standing on the grassland plateau.
As we got closer, the group of yellow sheep was excited by the silver bells, and suddenly bounced out, running to a higher ground like crazy, Miss Zhu sighed, "The sheep here are really scary, and they all ran away as soon as they heard the movement." ”
"They're smart." Ji Mo Yi said.
The team continued to move forward, and when we walked through the land where the yellow sheep was, a grassland behind it was a little sunken, and General Sun said to everyone: "Go where there is grass, and there is no grass to cover the land, don't step into it easily." ”
The terrain was uneven, I was dizzy and dizzy, I wanted to vomit, Miss Zhu didn't wait for me to open the curtain this time, she opened the curtain first to enter the wind, she vomited four or five times along the way, and her face was a little yellow.
I took advantage of her to open the curtain and look at the grass together, in the sunken grass, some looming gray-white stones looked very interesting, I got closer, and saw that it didn't seem to be stones, and pointed out the window and asked, "What do you see that gray-white thing?" ”
Zhu Dong said: "Xu is the herdsman who eats the leftover peach crisp. ”
It's a bit like this, and there is a kind of peach cake in the palace that is so off-white, but I still think it's very strange, and I can't say where it is.
The box in Jimoyi's hand knocked and fell on the saddle, and I saw her face change greatly, "You were also shaken by the carriage and wanted to vomit?" I reached out and gestured to change positions with her, so that she could be a little more comfortable.
Her fingertips as she held the box turned white, "That seems to be wolf dung." ”
Zhu Dong thought she was making a fuss, "This is the grassland, how can there be no wolves?" Besides, even if it's dung, it could be a bird, a sheep, a deer, ......."
I stuck my head out of the carriage and finally understood why she was panicking, the wheels of the carriages in front of me were more or less stained with some gray-white feces, which looked like fresh feces, which indicated that it was likely that the animals had not gone far.
Zhu Dong is not right, she is a young lady, it is normal to have never seen a sheep, and the manure of a sheep is not like this.
If it is a bird, then these birds must be a big eagle on the grassland, we have no reason not to find one, the bird flies in the sky, as long as you look up, you can always see a few, this is not an eagle bird, that is, Mo Yi said it is very likely, this is a wolf, and it is very likely that it is not far away.
Later, when I came to my senses, I thought about this incident, and when I thought of this group of yellow sheep, I gradually realized that the original target of these wolves was not us, they were lying in ambush in the grass for the group of yellow elves. But at that time I didn't have time to figure out how such a large pack of wolves could gather here, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and pushed away the groom.
"What does Lord Weng command?"
"Quick, talk to General Sun, there may be wolves."
The horseman shrunk his neck, and the wind on the grassland was indeed getting cooler and colder, "What nonsense is Lord Weng talking about, General Sun has walked through here several times, if there is a wolf, the general would have found out a long time ago." ”
He didn't believe me, and I looked back at Jimoyi, and saw that the fear had disappeared from her eyes, and she seemed to know that the groom would not believe me, and she did not have any hope that anyone would listen to me.
I didn't care what Ji Mo Yi was thinking at this time, and shouted at the guard: "Let me go down, I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
This groom is fiercer than me, "No one is allowed to get out of the car without the princess's order!" ”
I pointed to the grass below and said, "Can't you see so much?" If it's a wolf, we're not ready to defend it, we'll all die on the grassland. ”
He said lightly, "This is not a matter of bothering the lord. ”
I had to argue with him, but Mo Yi's hand reached out of the carriage and pulled me into it, "Don't mess around." ”
