Chapter XXXVIII
The road leading from the city to the frontier is deserted. At this time, because Shen Yue and his party brought a little crowd.
Because of the urgency of the war and the long distance, Shen Yue and his party hurried non-stop.
There was a long marching procession, with soldiers rushing in front and behind, and a carriage in the middle of the front, surrounded by uniform soldiers.
Shen Yue sat in the carriage, and Tsing Yi also sat in it and waited. Ding Qin, on the other hand, rode a horse in parallel with the carriage to ensure that Shen would not be in any danger.
Shen Yue sat on the car with a solemn face, raised her hand to lift the curtain on the right side of the car, and stared at the carriage with both eyes.
Ding Qin saw that Shen Yue opened the curtain, and he looked preoccupied, and he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Shen Yue, don't worry too much, we're already on our way non-stop, and we'll arrive in four days at the latest."
Listening to Ding Tan's words, Shen Yue looked up at him.
"I'm not just worried about the war, but also about ......," Shen Yue said again.
"I know you're worried about Lan Che, but you also have to believe in Lan Che's abilities. No matter how big the problem, he always has a way. Besides, he is an unfathomable person, and others will never guess what he is thinking. He must have a way to deal with those people. ”
Ding Qin suppressed the bitterness in his heart and comforted Shen Yue with a smile.
"Well, I believe him." Shen Yue was unconsciously confident at this moment because of Lan Che's tall image in his heart. The expression on his face was not as solemn as it was just now.
"Oh, that's right!" Ding Qin saw that Shen Yue was not so worried and bothered, and he also regained his previous vitality.
"Shen Yue, you see that the scenery of this uninhabited place is good. Except for this bare road, which is not interesting, everything else is beautiful. Ding Qin's child's heart was revealed, and he chattered endlessly.
"yes, the view is really good. Blue sky and white clouds, a few trees pop up from time to time, dotting a whole meadow a little. The chirping of birds flying over brought a bit of unrest to this peaceful place. ”
Shen Yue looked at the scenery outside the car window and sighed a little.
"Hee-hee, when it calms down, I'm going to build a house here and come often! Don't think about all the worries right now. Thinking of what they were facing at the moment, Ding Tan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and his face drooped.
"It'll be fine, you can go wherever you want in the future. We can also travel around together. Seeing Ding Tan's sentimental expression, Shen Yue was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Really? That's great! Ding Qin instantly regained his vitality and looked happy. The excitement also drove Shen Yue, and Shen Yue also pursed her lips and smiled.
The group was still rushing forward, and the night was quietly falling, and the sky was dark.
"Miss, it's getting late. The soldiers have also traveled for a day, and it is time for them to stop and rest and put things in order. Tsing Yi saw that Shen Yue's mood was not so low, so he spoke at the right time.
"yes, yes. I'm hungry after walking for so long, so let's stop and rest, eat something, and leave tomorrow morning. ”
Ding Qin hurriedly agreed, and at the same time pretended to have an aggrieved expression.
"Okay, let's tell. Stop to recuperate and rest, and hurry again tomorrow morning. Shen Yue gave the order, not facing Ding Qin, Tsing Yi's gentleness. In its place, there is a strong leadership style.
"Rest in place......" As the trumpeter shouted, the entire marching team finally stopped temporarily.
There was silence all around, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the western sky, and a large golden cloud stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the rest of the world.
There were also a few birds parked in a few trees not far away, and from time to time they let out a few terrible calls.
Everything around this reminds everyone that the night is about to begin, and beyond the rest is also a new round of challenges.
After the group settled the dinner problem, it was the dead of night. Division of labor and cooperation, take turns to guard. The people on duty are all waiting for them, and those who can sleep are lying in one place on their backs.
"Miss, you can rest for a while. There are so many soldiers guarding that the slightest movement will attract their attention. You haven't closed your eyes for a day, how can you do it without sleeping for a while? ”
Seeing that Shen Yue had no plans to sleep, Tsing Yi couldn't help but remind with a worried face.
"Well, I'll rest right away." Shen Yue replied, but still had no intention of sleeping.
Tsing Yi knew Shen Yue's temper, and finally didn't speak again.
At this time, Shen Yue had been staring in a certain direction of the team, as if waiting for something.
It was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything, but I was still stubbornly staring.
"Shen Yue, everything is deployed, basically there will be no mistakes, you can sleep at ease, I will guard you outside the carriage." Ding Tan said as he ran, looking out of breath.
Finally, a person came running in the direction that Shen Yue had been staring at, it was Ding Qin, who had been commanding various parts of the team not long ago.
"That's good, let's rest together for a while, otherwise we won't have the energy to deal with an emergency." Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Ding Qin.
"Okay, go to sleep." Ding Qin replied with a hippie smile.
The night fell completely silent.
In her sleep, Shen Ningyue suddenly heard the sound of the soldier asking for a report, and immediately woke up.
"We reported that while we were patrolling, we noticed people chasing us. After he caught him, he said he was looking for you, and we brought the scholar with him. A soldier approached and said.
"Bring someone here." Shen Yue, who calmed down a little, spoke.
"Miss Shenyue, I'm Gu Xiaosheng." Gu Xiaosheng said in a deep voice.
"Why are you here?" Shen Yue was a little surprised.
"I'll go up and we'll talk." Gu Xiaosheng said and walked to the carriage.
"What's going on?" Gu Xiaosheng got into the carriage, and Shen Yue immediately asked.
"It was Ding Zhang who sent me here, and he gave me the Tiger Talisman and asked me to go to Tong'an City with you." Gu Xiaosheng said with a deep face.
"He must have thought about sending you here. We don't have any news at the moment, so it's better not to speculate. If it comes, it will be safe. Shen Yue pondered for a moment and said.
Trapped in Tong'an City is Lan Che, Tang Muyao in Jing'an City.
"Well, we can only take one step at a time now."
"Okay, you've been on the road for so long, go get some rest."
"Well, then I'll go out first." After speaking, Gu Xiaosheng lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
At the end of the conversation, Shen Yue no longer felt sleepy, and fell into a new round of contemplation.
She didn't understand Ding Zhang's intentions, and she still couldn't guess what the emperor's purpose was in sending her daughter to the front of the war to support, and she agreed to let Ding Tan follow her, his brother was really ruthless, and the road ahead was far and dangerous, so he didn't take his younger brother seriously.
Shen Yue's heart is very chaotic now, and coupled with the worry about Lan Che's current situation, he is even more worried.
Just after dawn the next day, the team started the journey again.
"Miss, didn't you sleep last night? The face is so bad, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well. How can your body stand it? Tsing Yi woke up and saw Shen Yue's state, and his distress was beyond words.
"I'm fine, it's only a few days, it's over." Shen Yue replied.
With Tsing Yi's understanding of Shen Yue, what she insisted on herself, it was useless for others to persuade her, so she had to stop talking, but just prepared food and tea for Shen Yue in case of emergency.
It's another day of rushing, except that the distance is changing, and the surrounding scenery is not much different from the front. Because of the day's travel, and the amount of eating, drinking, and resting on the way was not as good as usual, the marching speed could not help but slow down.
"Shen Yue, they don't have the strength to walk now, I don't think we can reach our destination within the time we originally scheduled." Ding Qin looked at the speed that was much slower than yesterday, and couldn't help but say to Shen Yue.
"Well, it's a lot slower. Inevitably, try to push it. Shen Yueyue also felt it, and she was a little worried.
"Don't worry too much, even if it's not as fast as before, we have enough time to budget, and I believe we can get there in time." Ding Qin hurriedly comforted Shen Yue.
"I hope so." Shen Yue was indifferent, her heart was full of worry, she didn't want to stop, she couldn't stop, but she couldn't help but take care of this group of warriors who were running around day and night.
Sure enough, no matter how much you supervise, order. By the time it was supposed to arrive, we had only walked two-thirds of the way.
At noon on the fifth day, the team was alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind.
The sound of horses' hooves was near, and a person held a holy decree in his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute, the emperor's holy purpose is here." ”
came to Shen Yue and announced: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor edict,...... Special ...... Go to Jing'an City, Chin this! "Miss Shen, take the order.
"The courtiers take the order!" Shen Ningyue, who was kneeling at the front, got up to accept the order.
"In that case, please Miss Shen go to Jing'an City as soon as possible, and then the subordinates will leave." The person who came arched his hand, and the honorific words used in the words did not carry a trace of respect.
Then he drove back in the direction of the horse, leaving Shen Yue and everyone looking at each other.
"No, how can this old emperor go back on his word! We've all made it here, and we're going to have to go back a long way to Keeong'an City. What's more, how can Jing'an City have an urgent war with Ancheng, how can he Tang Xiao stubborn generation of generals drop the chain at this time. ”
Ding Qin couldn't be calm at this time, and he complained regardless of the occasion to express his dissatisfaction. His face was flushed, and he stomped his feet impatiently.
"That's true, I don't know what the intention of the emperor's holy decree is." Gu Xiaosheng was also puzzled, and his brows furrowed.
For a while, the holy decree in Shen Yue's hand was like a hot potato, which could not be thrown away, let alone abandoned.
For a while, the team lost its direction and stopped. And Shen Yue and the others fell into deep thought.
"Let's sort it out from the time the emperor sent me here, and now he has sent someone to let us transfer the journey, all of this must be related." Shen Yue suddenly spoke, breaking the original dull and quiet atmosphere.
For a moment, everyone looked at her with wide eyes, waiting for the next step.
