Lan Fang smiled and touched her face, it was indeed a little rough, after all, she had been raised for so long in the capital, and she had not had such a rough life for a long time, and her skin was natural. However, the woman is the one who pleases herself, and when he said this, Lan Fang still lowered her head a little embarrassed.

Originally, she didn't belong to the kind of particularly beautiful woman who was born beautiful, and she often dressed up in the capital, and she could add a few colors by applying grease and powder, but in this army, marching day and night, there is no time and time, and it is not appropriate.

"It's not the first time I've gone with the army, but it's not that delicate little woman, you don't have to worry about me. However, after days of rapid marching, I don't know if the soldiers on foot behind can stand it? ”

Lan Fang said and looked at Li Ye, and sure enough, he nodded and smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid that they won't be able to stand it, so I don't plan to continue the march tonight, but set up camp here to rest for the night, and tomorrow, I will just go separately from Qin Yujin." His escort grain and grass walked slowly behind, the battle ahead is urgent, let's go first. ”

Thinking of the prince of the Qin State Mansion, who was also unparalleled in appearance and uninhibited, she couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really rare to see such a noble son unkempt this time......

I didn't change a lot of mud on my clothes, and I ate wowotou and wild vegetable porridge with the soldiers all day long, although I frowned, I still swallowed it, which was really impressive.

But thinking about his sister, I don't know what it feels like all of a sudden, and I heard that his sister may also be coming to the palace......

Waitu Jinfu asked Li Ye to go out, and he instructed with a soft Lanfang face: "Trim tonight, you sleep well." ”

Lan Fang nodded, watching him get out of the carriage, and after a while, Ling'er came up.

Almost at night, she and Ling'er are on the carriage, and when they march at night, they will be much slower, although it is very uncomfortable to sleep in the carriage back and forth, but thinking that people are walking outside, Ling'er is silent. At first, I did complain a few words, but in the end, it was the people who came from the northwest who were used to it in the past two days.

"Ma'am, how long will it be before we arrive? Riding horses during the day and riding in carriages at night, my back hurts. ”

Lan Fang lay in the carriage, thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will take at least half a month, so you can bear with it." ”

She nodded and said nothing, and lay down to sleep.

The next morning, hearing the chirping of birds outside, the sound of soldiers talking and tidying up, the two of them got up and got out of the carriage.

Because they were wearing men's clothes, they were not conspicuous in the crowd, and after washing, they began to help the soldiers clean up.

Qin Yujin came over with his attendants, greeted Li Ye and said: "Prince, the march of grain and grass vehicles is too slow, then you will go first today, and I will walk slowly behind, presumably there is still some grain and grass at the border pass, which can support a few days, but I will try my best to get to the north in the middle of next month." ”

Li Ye smiled and patted him on the shoulder when he heard this, and said, "It's hard work!" ”

When he heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "I don't dare to say that I am hard, this is my duty." ”

When the war came, my grandfather also asked me to carry a knife to the front line, although I knew some three-legged cat kung fu, but Hu Ren was not joking, a scimitar down I am afraid that I can't parry, so I thought about it, and begged for this errand that would not lose my life......

Lan Fang brought breakfast and put it on the table set aside, and then came over to say hello to Qin Yujin.

Qin Yujin had an indescribable feeling, it was not without this precedent for this woman to follow and serve in the marching war, but it was really incomprehensible to bring such a favored Concubine Tian Fang. Shouldn't a favored woman stay in the palace and enjoy happiness? Why not go to the front line to suffer this hardship?

But I think it's because the two people have a good relationship, share weal and woe, and never give up, so this Tian side concubine followed.

He stood aside, watching Li Ye naturally take Lan Fang's hand, frowning slightly, his sister still wants to enter the palace, seeing that this Tian Concubine is infinite grace, even if she enters the palace, I am afraid that she will not be favored, it is really better to find a good family outside the palace to marry, it is better than the days when you are not favored in the palace...... Thinking so, I decided to observe it carefully when I got to the border.

After breakfast, Li Ye took the people and left first.

Just kept walking north on the road, the march on the road was boring and tired, Lan Fang and Ling'er were riding horses and even their legs were worn out, Ling'er even secretly went to ask Jin Gui to apply medicine to her every day, she thought that Lan Fang didn't know what she was doing with Jin Gui into the forest......

The army slowly approached the border pass, and the soldiers felt more and more relaxed, after all, they had been walking for nearly twenty days in a row, and everyone was like a vegetable, and they had no strength. If you can get to the city earlier, you can have a good rest for a day, even if you have to go to the battlefield on the second day, it is better than not eating and sleeping well on the road like this.

However, thinking about fighting with the Hu people, some soldiers are still a little worried.

Walking and walking, the weather is getting colder and colder, the wind and frost are very strong, and when I arrived at the border pass in Beicheng, it was already early winter.

General Zhong Lao brought the third officer of the Zhong family and the good officer of Beicheng to greet him with a garrison of 1,000 people, and the Hu people were very peaceful in the past two days, and there was no action, and they were able to rest for two days and clean up military affairs.

Beicheng is located in the border fortress, the wind is high and the sand is dusty, the city gate is also extremely tall and magnificent, looking at it from a distance, it seems to be much higher than the highest house in the imperial palace in the capital, the high city wall stretches far away, and there is no end in sight.

Ling'er couldn't help but sigh: "This city tower looks really magnificent!" ”

Lan Fang smiled, and also felt that the defense of this city was quite powerful, such a high city wall, I am afraid that even if the Hu people want to enter, it will not be so easy.

General Zhong Lao knelt at the gate of the city with a lot of noise, knelt on the ground, Li Ye hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and his beard was not cleaned up, and after a month of marching, his whole person was even more emaciated, but his spirit was very good.

He picked up General Zhong Lao and said, "Zhong Lao works hard, you are a hero of the country, you don't have to make this big gift." Originally, the imperial court's intention to allow you to take off your armor and return to your hometown to recuperate for the rest of your life has come down, but there is a war here, and you are afraid that you have no intention of going back! ”

General Zhong Lao is an old man with excellent spirits, although it is said that the pain of his body is unbearable from time to time, but after all, he is a person who has been practicing here all the year round, and he does not need to be much worse than those young people.

"The prince is serious, for the country and the people, I dare not say that it is hard, when the war is here, the old man will be able to go back to recuperate, and it will not be bad for a few months, the prince, the city has prepared a residence and a reception banquet, but the north is bitterly cold, I am afraid that there is no good thing to entertain the prince, and I hope you are not strange."

Li Ye smiled faintly when he heard this: "I came here to fight Hu people, not to enjoy happiness, I don't have to be extravagant and wasteful in the future, I can eat with the soldiers." ”

General Zhong smiled and nodded when he heard this, and looked at his son Zhong Laosan out of the corner of his eye, and the eyes of the two exchanged and nodded slightly.

Tens of thousands of troops followed them into the city.

Li Ye and they temporarily repaired at the post station, because the border pass launched small-scale wars from time to time, so they could not be delayed here, Zhong Laosan greeted Li Ye, and then took people to the front line to guard.

Lan Fang and Ling'er took advantage of this day's work to hurriedly wash and change their clothes and pack up. I'm going to the front soon, just bring something useful, and the rest of the ones that are not very useful, just stay here.

Li Ye had already gone to talk to General Zhong Lao about how the war was going at the border pass, and he didn't come back until night.

Lan Fang boiled water and washed it early, and when she saw him come back, she immediately asked someone to bring the water in, and served him to take off his clothes and take a bath.

I haven't washed it for a month, and although it's cold and smellless, as soon as he enters the warm water, he can't help but sigh: "It's so comfortable." ”

Lan Fang smiled and said, "If you are comfortable, you can do it for a while, if you go to the front line, I am afraid it will not be very convenient to take a good bath." By the way, how is the battle on the front? ”

Li Ye closed his eyes, leaned on the bathtub, and said: "The Hu people ransacked a few small towns a while ago, and only took some grain, but they didn't hurt innocent people with their dead hands, but this is only temporary, with the coming of winter, they don't have much food for the winter, and they will soon provoke another war." ”

Lan Fang was silent when she heard this, she didn't understand about the war, but she also knew that those people stayed in the town and were not protected by high walls, so it was like a lamb with its neck stretched out to be slaughtered, and I was afraid that sooner or later it would be ...... So after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you tell those people to temporarily retreat to the city for refuge, and then return to their hometowns when the fighting stops?" ”

Li Ye shook his head when he heard this, and said: "General Zhong said that those people are unwilling, most of them have to stay at home, they get along with the Hu people in Biansai all the year round, and many of them are intermarried, and they feel that those Hu people will not hurt their lives, so they insist on refusing to leave home." But in my opinion, if those Hu people are really at the end of their rope, they can do anything! ”

Lan Fang sighed helplessly when she heard this, and said: "The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, and the people are afraid of being displaced, so they are reluctant to leave." ”

Saying that, Li Ye jumped out, as Lan Fang dried his body, his interest also came, he opened his arms around her and went back to the bedroom, lowered his head and grabbed her lips for a while, the heat and eagerness made him gradually lost, Lan Fang stroked his face and sighed softly: "Aren't you tired?" ”

In response to her, there were gusts of wind and waves, and she was swaying in the wind and rain, her eyes shining with water, looking at the fine sweat on his forehead, biting her lip to keep herself from letting her sound out of control.
