The frontier is full of wind and sand.

Swarthy soldiers patrolled the border lines, repeating the same thing every day, but no one dared to relax for half a minute.

Because among the soldiers, in addition to the men of the civilian family, there are also the sons of the Yu family, Lei and Huang Zijue.

The two of them stood on two mountains, the spicy sun on their heads was basking together, and the two people who followed with fine skin and tender meat were already one of the best tough guys in the army at this time.

During this time, Daqi was very restless, and a lot of spies came in from the borderlands, killing batch after batch, pretending to be a young lady who was walking in the dust, a thin horse who was peerless, a child begging for a camp, or the caravan of the Great Zhou and Great Wei.

The frontier is unstable, some time ago just caught a team of children, the eldest, only ten years old, should have been cultivated since childhood, no matter how to pretend to be innocent eyes, you can always see some traces of wood and ruthlessness, Wei Zijue took it lightly at the beginning, looking at the child holding his so-called 'younger brother', he was only five years old, he almost had his throat cut when he bent down to speak, Daqi looked forward to the chaos in the frontier, he had suffered defeat before, and he had been holding a grudge, so he used some cruel methods, which was really hateful.

When the knife fell to look at the heads of the two children, the hot blood splashed on the face, and when the wind blew, it was still hot.

Yu Lei shook off the blood on the sword and pulled Wei Zijue up: "Be careful, it's been too peaceful lately, and anyone who approaches inexplicably has to be guarded." ”

Wei Zijue raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains, nodded and said that he understood, and soon his eyes returned to calm.

At first, I still felt palpitations, thinking that behind these people were dirty people's calculations, I only felt disgusting, but now I have seen more, the world is like this, he can't protect everyone, he can only protect his subjects, and he gradually becomes indifferent.

There are a lot of caravans today, so Yu Lei and Wei Zijue stick to the first line of defense on the border, just for fear of causing trouble.

But no matter how careful you are, there will always be fish that slip through the net, so in addition to here, routine patrols every night are also very important.

"The royal caravan of the Great Zhou?" Yu Lei took the post handed over by the coachman in front of him, Da Zhou and Da Wei have a good relationship, but the royal caravan rarely comes in such an eventful season, I heard that Zhou Canghong has just abdicated as the regent and is teaching his son to manage the government, how can the royal caravan come at such a sensitive juncture as Da Zhou?

This team is going to the capital, the post is true, the convoy is mighty, and there is a carriage with bells in the middle, and the jingling sound is blown all over the city by the wind, Yu Lei handed the post back to the people in the carriage, and said: "Go over." ”

More than a dozen carriages slowly drove into the city, Yu Lei retracted his gaze and continued to check, Wei Zijue had just been called to the city tower to see the movement on the edge of the cliff in the distance, as if something was there, the sentry was not sure, Wei Zijue looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong.

The sentry said that maybe he was wrong, but Wei Zijue rang the alarm bell in his heart, let him continue to monitor, and when he got down from the city tower, he told Yu Lei about it, whether it was really wrong or not, it was always good to be on guard.

The city may not be calm tonight, after the sun goes down to block the city gate, Wei Zijue and Yu Lei are afraid of causing panic in the city, so they still only patrol as usual, the city is always lively at night, probably because of the majority of caravans, many slave sales and thin horse performances are carried out at night.

The people in the city love Yu Lei and Wei Zijue very much, with the two of them here, a lot of spies have been caught during this time, and the city is much more peaceful.

This is an eventful place, and it is difficult to manage, there is no other way except to send more people, it is Wei Zijue and Yu Lei can only divide the troops into two ways, and Yu Lei guards the city wall, and you have to pay attention to the movements you see during the day, Wei Zijue is patrolling the city, and any suspicious people must be arrested and interrogated carefully, and it is better to catch ten by mistake than to miss one.

I don't know if the heavenly prince is making trouble or making it happen, but at night the sky is just dark, and the wind really blows, although the city is a little foggy, but you can still see things, but the city wall is dim when you look out.

"I can't see anything clearly, and I'm really going to pick a day to make trouble." Yu Lei took a sip of wine to refresh himself, covered the wine jug and handed it to the sentry on the side, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, the crossbow arrows are ready, if there is anything wrong, shoot it directly!" ”

The sentry responded, Yu Lei turned around and walked towards the other side, in the city wall, the night of Shengge was already lively, the two worlds in and outside the city, what he and Wei Zijue wanted to protect was the peace of the city.

Sometimes I feel that I am very great, and when I return to Beijing after training, it is not a good capital to brag about these things.

It's just that... It's really dangerous.

Wei Zijue was walking around in civilian clothes at this time, the Yu family had hit the Daqi army before, and the Daqi hated the Yu family and the royal family to the core, and now this little emperor was even more a violent person, listening to the words of the ministers, he was also a person who liked to kill, and he always wanted to ask for some cheap money on the border to go back, which was really boring.

The quality of the slaves brought by today's caravan seems to be not bad, there are many people standing on the platform in the central square, Wei Zijue will stop and take a look every time, although he is very dissatisfied with such a thing, but if these slaves are not bought and sold, I am afraid that they will also die on the border, very pitiful, but there is nothing to be done.

Everyone in this world has their own way of living, Wei Zijue often thinks, if today, he is sitting on that dragon chair, never seen the world in front of him, he is afraid that he will still be the naïve, under the protection and protection of the queen mother's father, the eyes of his life, all his eyes only fall on the prosperous scenery of the capital, all his life, he can't see the desolate scenery here, let alone have a chance... Personally participate in the diversity of living beings.

He was watching, his back was suddenly hit by a soft thing, Wei Zijue instantly turned around vigilantly, his hand had already touched the dagger tied to his arm, and as long as the person behind him made another move, he could immediately cut the person's throat.

Wei Zijue's action of retreating back was done in one go, his eyes fell on the person, between them was a girl in a flower cloak, she raised her eyes, and it was that kind of innocent eyes, such eyes Wei Zijue has seen too much in this city, he knows too well who deliberately approached him with such eyes.

It's just that... She was the first to dress so well.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The girl stuck out her tongue and apologized repeatedly, looking at Wei Zijue as if she was facing a great enemy, and then glanced at the man standing next to him who was also staring at her, and touched her face, she... Does it look so fierce? Isn't there something wrong with the appreciative eyes of the Great Wei man?

She slipped out to play by herself, and came out for a while, the city was winding and turning, and every street looked about the same, she was just a little lost, and she was a little girl, and there was no threat, this group of big men seemed to eat her, the girl rolled her eyes, and felt that she had better ask someone else, the person in front of her looked good, but his temperament was very fierce.

Thinking like this, she turned around and was about to leave, this time it was even more suspicious, Wei Zijue had reason to suspect that this person wanted to sneak attack him but didn't know why he missed it, or this girl was just a bait, to confirm how many people were around him before making a move, and now seeing that the timing was wrong, he wanted to slip away!

The girl ran fast, Wei Zijue waved her hand and said coldly: "Catch her!" ”

Soon the people around her moved, and the girl was frightened by the footsteps behind her, and unconsciously began to run, shouting as she ran: "What are you doing!" I... Won't I just hit him! What a man! It's so squeamish, you can't bump it! ”

How could she be so unlucky! Wei Zijue walked over from behind the crowd, and couldn't help but say that he couldn't pity the slightest bit of incense and jade, and he picked up the knife in his hand, and directly knocked the person unconscious.

When she regained consciousness, she only heard the sound of two men talking in her ears.

"Hey, you're wrong, where is there a female spy dressed so richly? Aren't they all demons and monsters? ”

"If it doesn't work, there's always a new trick."

"What you said is not unreasonable, so are we going to be punished directly?"

The others fell silent.

The back of her neck hurt to death, and she opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see a dark face in front of her in the dim light, and subconsciously screamed.

Yu Lei was also startled, and hurriedly retreated to Wei Zijue's side, pointed at her and said, "You arrested the person, and you are responsible for the trial!" "Anyway, I couldn't help but look at her again, she looks so good, she dresses so luxuriously, she should be Miss Jiao at a glance...

But Wei Zijue's words are not unreasonable, they are annoying, anyway, Wei Zijue caught him, and he did it himself!

After that, Yu Lei hooked the corners of his mouth at Wei Zijue, and went to the side to sit and drink tea.

Wei Zijue stared at her and said softly: "Name." ”

Ordinary spies will not have names, most of them are nonsense, Wei Zijue is confident that he can see it.

She struggled for a while, found herself tied up, and immediately scolded her: "What are you doing! Let me go! Do you know who I am! Won't I just bump into you! Don't you Great Wei have a royal law? If you hit it, you'll be caught, who do you think you are! I'm telling you, it's best if you put me now! My Emperor... My family must be looking for me all over the city at this time! You'll be happy then! ”

scolded and scolded, and at first glance, he was very angry, but who was caught here for some reason and was discussed by two big men to be tortured, but I am afraid that they will not be able to calm down.

Yu Lei snorted: "It's still a fierce temper!" ”

Wei Zijue still stood there, as if he hadn't heard her words: "Name." ”

"Name?" She frowned, is this person sick? She took a deep breath, swallowed the fire in her throat, and said in a muffled voice, "Zhou Yulang." ”

In the border land, there are not many people with the surname Zhou.

Wei Zijue was stunned for a moment, this name didn't look like it could be made up casually, he glanced back at Yu Lei, although he wasn't sure, but he still said, "I'll go out for a while." ”

Is there really someone out there looking for someone? Did he catch the wrong one?

"Where are you going! You're back! You let me go! You have to give me an explanation today" Zhou Yulang shouted twice, and saw that Wei Zijue was about to go out without looking back.

As soon as he went out, the guards outside came in, saw Wei Zijue, saluted, and whispered in his ear: "The caravan of the Great Zhou royal family seems to have lost a person, it is a woman, born beautifully, and a cloak with a pattern has been approved, the caravan is very anxious, and it is not peaceful when it comes in, and people are afraid that it is... ”

Wei Zijue's eyes shrank: "The caravan of the Great Zhou royal family? Where are the people? ”

The guard glanced at Wei Zijue and said truthfully: "Just sit in the lobby above, the prince will go and take a look?" ”

Wei Zijue bowed his head and let him go first, then turned around and returned inside, glanced at Zhou Yulang who was staring at him, and then looked at Yu Lei: "There is a caravan of the Great Zhou royal family entering the city today?" ”

Yu Lei swallowed the melon seeds, as if he had just remembered, and remembered that Zhou Yulang said his name just now, and when he saw Wei Zijue's expression, he stumbled: "It seems... Be. ”

Wei Zijue's face darkened for two points, let him guard the people, and hurried up to the lobby by himself.

The lobby was indeed dressed as a businessman, but in fact, he was Meng Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Zhou, and this trip was to follow the newly appointed Emperor of the Great Zhou to the Imperial City of the Great Wei to discuss with the new emperor of the Great Wei to raise troops to attack and carve up the Great Qi.

In order not to be noticed by Daqi, so when handing over the post, it was said that he would disguise his identity to pass the border pass, wait until he entered the mainland, and then report the situation from time to time, so the royal caravan of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a disguise, and the person who lives in the inn at this time is His Majesty the Emperor, and the person who lost it is the princess of the Great Zhou.

It was because they learned that the border was now the prince of the Yu family and the prince of Jing who were in charge, so they hurriedly came to ask for help, and their people had already turned over the city, and in just one hour, people disappeared out of thin air!

When Wei Zijue appeared, Meng Yue was already sweating: "The prince is fine." ”

Wei Zijue glanced at this person's popularity and was not a businessman, glanced at him, and then sat down: "The Great Zhou royal caravan is heading to the Great Wei Imperial City, why do you still bring women?" ”

Look at this, she must still be a woman with a good status, Wei Zijue guessed what kind of Da Zhou noblewoman she was, maybe it was to flatter the newly enthroned Emperor Da Zhou, and send it to the imperial brother as a concubine, after all... The draft is about to begin.

But Wei Zijue still underestimated Zhou Yulang's identity, Meng Yue saw that it was the prince in front of him, and he had the permission of the new emperor, so he stepped forward, handed a sign to Wei Zijue, and said softly: "Lord Jing doesn't know, this disguise to go to Great Wei, but there is something important to discuss with the emperors of the two countries, and the one who came together... It's the princess of our Great Zhou. ”

Wei Zijue's eyelids jumped, it's Princess Yan again?!

Da Zhou likes to stuff the princess to their emperor of Great Wei so much? There are concubines back then as examples, they don't have a long memory?

However, Wei Zijue didn't say this, handed the sign back to Meng Yue, and before he could say the next sentence, he said: "There is a lot of chaos in the city, and there is a change outside the city during the day, so it is particularly sensitive to the situation, since the ambassador has communicated with the imperial brother, I naturally accept the imperial brother's intention and escort the Great Zhou Emperor through the city safely, as for the princess that the ambassador said... I patrolled the city today, but I was bumped by a strange woman, and I couldn't avoid missing the possibility of spies, so I was tied to the dark room below, and the ambassador could follow me to see, if it was a princess, I should personally go to the Great Zhou Emperor to make amends. ”

Wei Zijue said that he was weak-hearted, Meng Yue showed his identity and intention, and he could basically determine that the one below was the princess, but he still had to explain the matter to avoid misunderstanding.

When Meng Yue heard this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he raised his heart, their Great Zhou royal family didn't know if it was a genetic problem, they were all spoiled sisters, and Princess Yan was arrested in such an unknown way, if she sued the emperor, I was afraid that even if it was Prince Jing, the emperor would not let it go easily.

But now it is important to make sure whether the princess is okay first, Meng Yue followed Wei Zijue to the place where Zhou Yulang was held, and from a distance, Wei Zijue was not sure whether he could see it clearly, so he saw him kneeling down to the place, and shouted exaggeratedly: "The princess forgives her sins, the old minister is late!" ”

It was as if she had been wronged.

As soon as Zhou Yulang heard this voice, he knew who it was, and hurriedly said, "Meng Yue! Come here yet! After shouting, he found that something was wrong, and glared at Wei Zijue and Yu Lei, "Why are you shouting!" Isn't it forbidden to reveal your identity! ”

Meng Yue wiped his sweat, and quickly asked Wei Zijue to untie Zhou Yulang, and he came to Zhou Yulang and said: "It's okay if the princess is fine, I'm scared to death of the old minister, and the emperor is so anxious that he didn't eat, fortunately, the princess met Prince Jing and Young Marshal Yu, otherwise the old minister is afraid that he will only apologize with death, Prince Jing and Young Marshal Yu know that there is nothing to do, the emperor said, it is important to find the princess, and Prince Jing and Young Marshal Yu will definitely help us." ”

Zhou Yulang was so angry that he raised his finger at Wei Zijue: "Lord Jing? Who? He?! Arrest people indiscriminately! Return the king! ”

"Recently, the city has not been peaceful, and there are too many spies in Daqi, so I will miss it, so I acted radically and recklessly, and Zijue is here to make amends to the princess." Wei Zijue bowed, his attitude was correct, after all, he directly knocked out other girls without asking clearly, even if it was just an ordinary girl, it was not right for him.

Yu Lei also hurried over, and said with a smile: "The princess is angry, my brother is a well-eyed man, he is a tenacious person, he doesn't have any bad intentions, but also for the safety of the people in the city, the princess is angry, and she wants to beat or scold, so I will go to the Great Zhou Emperor together with my brother to ask for guilt." ”

The two of them had such a good attitude, they sang and gave her a smile, but they didn't hurt in the end, and they didn't really ignore the punishment, but they also asked their names, Zhou Yulang didn't give up, it seemed that it was a little too much.

She snorted and glanced at Wei Zijue, who was full of guilt: "Forget it, since you know that you are wrong, this princess will send someone to ask tomorrow, if it is not for the safety of the people in the city, this princess will come to trouble you again!" ”

After that, she was about to go out with Meng Yue, and after taking two steps, she turned her head sideways and asked Meng Yue, "Where are you going?" ”

The voice was very small, Wei Zijue and Yu Lei still heard it, the two looked at each other, and laughed out loud, this little princess is really cute, she can't find a way out and has to save face.

When Meng Yue came in, he only thought of her in his heart, and he didn't remember the way, Wei Zijue hurriedly stepped forward and led the two of them out.

Although it was late at night, Wei Zijue still insisted on following him to meet the Great Zhou Emperor, the border was dangerous, and he had to go all the way south to two more counties to be peaceful, there were many bandits in this generation, so he had to be extra careful, and when he asked when he would leave, he must personally escort them to the capital.

Wei Zijue talked to Meng Yue, he looked very handsome seriously, although he was tanned, but he couldn't hide his outstanding facial features, the muscles on his body were capable and powerful, but they would not look extraordinarily majestic, Zhou Yulang walked a little behind, in fact, when he apologized to himself, she was no longer angry, she was angry that he treated himself as a villain, and he was arrested without saying anything, now he is a person who dares to admit his mistakes and dare to take responsibility, Zhou Yulang naturally will not go to his heart.

It's a pity that the cloak is dirty, Zhou Yulang holds it in her arms, and feels a little distressed, she likes this one the most.

All the way to the inn, in order not to attract attention, they also checked in how they should stay like ordinary people, and when they saw the new Great Zhou Emperor, it was a little different from what Wei Zijue imagined.

He is very similar to Zhou Canghong, but he looks more delicate and doesn't look powerful, probably because he is still young when he first ascended the throne.

Wei Zijue saluted him, and Zhou Yulang ran to him when he entered the house and coquettish: "Brother Huang! ”

He was obviously relieved, and said in a pampering and reproachful manner: "You dare to run out of this place by yourself!" I won't take you out next time! ”

Zhou Yulang pouted: "I know it's wrong, brother Huang, didn't I come back well, don't be angry." ”

After that, he glanced at Wei Zijue, who was still a little nervous, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Fortunately, I met King Jing, but nothing happened." ”

She helped herself speak, Wei Zijue was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Yulang, she snorted again, and turned her face arrogantly.

Emperor Da Zhou nodded, asked Meng Yue to take Zhou Yulang down, and then let Wei Zijue sit down and speak: "I originally wanted to go over quietly, but Yulang caused you trouble again." ”

"Emperor Zhou's words are serious, this time the border is a little different from previous years, the princess's trouble is just right, my imperial brother is in the capital, I don't know about the situation at the border, there are always spies in the border recently, even with the front of the counties are not safe, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is going to the imperial city, just in case, it is better for me to take someone to escort it personally." Wei Zijue understood a little bit when he talked to Meng Yue, they didn't bring much to fight this time, and they also brought Zhou Yulang a girl's house, which was very dangerous.

Emperor Da Zhou paused for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with going together, but before the trip, my father told me that I must hide people's eyes and ears, and I can't leak the news to Daqi, otherwise it will be meaningless to conspire with Emperor Dawei to raise troops this time." ”

Wei Zijue smiled, when he arrived at the territory of Da Wei, it was naturally not difficult to hide his whereabouts, and with him, everything was easy to do.

With Wei Zijue's promise, Emperor Da Zhou was naturally relieved, the two were silent for a while, Wei Zijue pursed his lips, and finally asked: "I just don't know what the intention of Emperor Da Zhou to go to the imperial city this time and bring Princess Yan to come with him?" ”
