Chapter 177: The Soldiers Embark on the Expedition

Chapter 157

The wind whistles, and hundreds of generals gather.

Dressed in a white robe, with a solemn expression, he stood proudly above the army.

She held the wine cup in her hand, stared at the army, and raised her voice: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been constant disputes, labor and money, and the people have never lived a day of peace. But there are people with bad intentions who want to destroy this hard-won peace! Soldiers! You can stand here today, you are the leaders of my Great Song Dynasty, the glory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the reliance of the Great Song Dynasty! If we don't resist, who will? Our parents, wives and children are suffering, and if we don't protect them, who will? You and I are one, one is prosperous, and one is lost! Now the court is in danger, all the soldiers! I want you to join me in the fight against the enemy, can you do it?! ”

"It can be done! We can do it! ”

"It can be done! We can do it! ”

"Good! Let's drink this glass of Zhuangxing wine together, and we will not return! Huayan raised his glass and gestured to all sides, drank it all in one gulp, and fell to the soles of his feet.

All the soldiers did the same.

Liu Che'er personally led Huayan all the way to the palace gate. All the troops and grain wagons have been assembled, just waiting for the master's order.

"Yan'er, you didn't have to go in person, why did you ......?"

"Your Majesty, only if I take him down with my own hands, can I leave with confidence." Huayan interrupted Liu Che'er's dissuasion, turned around and stepped on horseback.

Before leaving, Hua Yan nodded and smiled at him, "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything will go well." ”

"You must come back safely, I will always be waiting for you!" Liu Che'er looked at Huayan with moist eyes and said in a choked voice.

Hua Yan nodded lightly and waved his hand, "Go to war!" ”

"Yes!"

The mighty army, as if it could not see the beginning and the end, shuttled in the middle of the city road one after another, and the people along the street greeted each other one after another, their eyes full of hope.

Huayan looked ahead, and walked forward, unaware of the surrounding sounds.

In her mind, there is only one thing circling all the time, Xiao Minglang is about to get married the day after tomorrow, but the bride is not her.

She didn't understand how all this happened, what seemed to be a predestined fate had changed overnight.

It was as if she had had a long dream, and everything that happened in the dream didn't look like what she would do under normal circumstances.

Haven't you woken up from your dreams?

Hua Yan looked around blankly, only saw the faces of the hundreds of faces on the side of the road, but could not hear any sound.

She let out a long sigh and walked forward in a trance, and before she knew it, she was already dozens of miles away from the city.

Nie Feng is the leader of the entire army, not to mention that he has experienced a hundred battles, and has also experienced more than a dozen battles of all sizes, he noticed the strangeness of the road with his keen intuition, he looked at the sky for a while, and then Le Ma walked to Huayan's side, and said softly: "Queen Mother, it's getting late, why don't we go here today, stay for one night, and set off again tomorrow morning." ”

Hua Yan raised his head and glanced at the sky suspiciously, "It's not evening yet, why did it stop?" General Nie should know that time is pressing, and we need to catch up with less than half of the distance. ”

Nie Feng nodded, motioned for Hua Yan to look at the intersection at the turn in front of him, and then said: "Ahead is Hulukou, where the road is narrow and surrounded by mountains, which is an extremely dangerous place for us. The minister thought that it was better to wait for one night first, and then wait for the minister to send someone to investigate before taking action. ”

It's just a small road, how can it scare him like this?

Huayan looked at the mountains on all sides, and suddenly saw two or three dark shadows swimming slowly. Is there an ambush?!

Only then did Hua Yan realize: "Just do what General Nie said." ”

"Yes, the queen mother will rest for a while, and that little matter will be handed over to the minister." Nie Feng leaned over and retreated, led a few soldiers by himself, and walked towards the top of the mountain at the mouth of the gourd.

He jumped off his horse and paced around the side of the road, but found no sign of any other military activity.

"Miss, let's have a drink." Sheng Lan handed the kettle to Hua Yan and sat next to her on the side of the road.

Hua Yan took the kettle and took a few sips casually, in the gap, she found that Shangguan Zhanfeng always looked at them from time to time, and she didn't feel a little confused, but she was soon drowned by the sea of death in her heart, immersed in her own salvation, floating.

The black shadow swimming at the mouth of the gourd was not a sentry lurking in the enemy, but a jealous and hateful Tina Linlang, and she was followed by Zhong Laosan, who was cowering.

"Dead girl! Let go of a good life, but run here to suffer! If you are ...... by the emperor Found out, see how you end up! Zhong Laosan spitted and cursed.

Tatelinlang suddenly shrank her head and suppressed her voice, "Not good! Someone spotted us! …… What to do? Let's go? …… Let's go, send the news out, and they'll do it! ”

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, she looked back and saw that there was dust flying beside her, and Zhong Laosan was no longer there.

Tatelinlang shrank her head and retreated again and again, but she still couldn't escape Nie Feng's pursuit.

"Isn't the princess lost? Do you want to send someone to send you back to Beijing? Nie Feng stood on the top of the mountain and leaned over and asked.

Tateshinanlang raised her head in embarrassment, waved her hand and said, "No need...... No, Hongu is just walking around, wandering around......"

Nie Feng remained motionless, staring at her for a while, before he relented: "The princess is so Yaxing, she has come to this poor country." The minister advised the princess that the world outside was chaotic, and the princess still rarely traveled alone. ”

"Thank you General Nie for reminding me, this palace has its own measure." Tateshiro got up, pretended to be calm and patted the dust off her body, turned around and swaggered away.

Tately Linlang came to the bend of the mountain, stuffed a piece of paper into Zhong Laosan's pocket, and said without question: "This piece of paper has everything written on it, and it must be handed over to Xie Hui by hand!" Got it? ”

Zhong Laosan took the note tremblingly and asked, "What's in it for you?" Why do you always have trouble painting with her? What kind of character is her face, how can she easily be defeated at your feet? Listen to your father, and stop there! Maybe the painting will open up one side ......"

Tately Linlang flicked her hand, crossed her eyebrows and said angrily: "Zhong Laosan! Whose side are you on?! How do you speak for the painting face? If the fourth prince ascends the throne, wouldn't it be better for you and me? Aren't you old and confused?! ”

Zhong Laosan sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "That's it, this is for what my father owes you, and I will pay you back today!" You have to complain every day! As a father, I can't stand the toss, and from now on, I will return to my hometown and no longer join you, haven't you been looking forward to this day for a long time? You remember, Huayan is not a fool, she will not be easily seduced, if it really reaches the point of no return, resign and return to her hometown, come home! Home is your root! ”

Tateshilinlang's heart sank, and she pretended to be disdainful and said: "Why do you want to raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige!" Wait and see! I want to see how amazing the painting is! ”

Zhong Laosan sighed helplessly and walked away muttering.

Nie Feng truthfully reported the information he had spied on to Hua Yan, "Queen Mother, according to the ministers, the princess's move is not unusual. ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly when she heard this, "Let her go." ”

"But ......"

Hua Yan got up and stopped with a flick of his hand, "What General Nie wants to say, this palace already knows, so there is no need to say more." Since it's not an enemy army, let's go! ”

"Yes," Nie Feng knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he had to turn to the soldiers and say, "Let's go!"

The 50,000-strong army regained its outfit and set off again.

When the sun set on the western mountain, the group finally arrived at the foot of a small mountain fifty miles outside the Huanggu Mountain.

At this time, the camps of the two armies already knew each other's whereabouts well, and they could start the war as soon as the horn sounded.

In the camp tent, in front of the military map, he was thoughtful.

"Queen Mother, the soldiers have been on the road overnight, and their physical strength is already a little exhausted, do you want to rest for a night tonight and discuss it tomorrow?" Yutai Mingyue stepped forward and asked.

Hua Yan didn't look back, he nodded suddenly, still staring at the map.

Yutai Mingyue turned around and waved to others, and everyone leaned over and retreated, only Shenglan was still serving on the side.

"Miss......" Sheng Lan wanted to say and stopped.

"Huh?" The painting face responded in confusion.

"Actually, although Miss doesn't say it, Shenglan understands that the matter between Xiao Gongzi and Miss Xu ......," Shenglan said hesitantly.

As soon as he heard the word "Xiao Gongzi", he suddenly woke up from his contemplation. "What do they do for no reason. What is important now, you still don't understand? She turned and sat back in the main seat, picked up the teapot and drank it one after another.

"When all this is over, we will go back to Taoyuan and live there for the rest of our lives, no longer paying attention to everything in this world." Huayan looked at the floating willows outside the tent and said abruptly.

"Miss, that flute...... Your Majesty, don't you care? ”

Huayan smiled lightly, "Without me, they won't be able to survive?" ”

"But the emperor ......"

"Okay, it's not early, you should rest early!"

Without waiting for Sheng Lan to continue, he turned around and went back to the back room, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Sheng Lan withdrew worriedly from the door, the early spring wind still wrapped in a chill, blowing away only a trace of sleepiness left for her.

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Shangguan Zhan Feng suddenly walked over.

Sheng Lan suddenly looked back and smiled coincidentally, "General, why are you here?" ”

"Is Miss Katsuran waiting for someone?" Shangguan Zhanfeng asked.

Sheng Lan shook his head again and again, "No, I just can't sleep, it's just blowing the wind." ”

Shangguan Zhanfeng lowered his head and smiled, "I just asked casually, why should the girl be nervous." ”

Sheng Lan tilted her head and looked at the sky quietly.

"You'll never know what she's been through, and not anyone can do it until now. If I could, I would like to transfer all her suffering to me, let me bear some of her burden, and maybe she would be happier than she is now. ”

Shangguan Zhanfeng looked at Sheng Lan in a daze, he had never seen such a soft Sheng Lan, her shining eyes were deeply engraved in his mind for a long time.
