Chapter 100: Entering the customs, encountering deserters on the road

The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention, and the sound of the corners rises on all sides.

In the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

It's late autumn, and the farther north you go, the colder it gets. Shen Qianmo sat in the carriage and obviously felt a chill hit people.

From a very young age, she longed for the feeling of galloping on a high ground and a wide prancing horse. Later, I met Yuan Lie and learned that there was a big horse farm at home, so I visited it from time to time, and under Yuan Lie's teaching, her riding skills became more and more exquisite. Although she is not as good as Feiyun Qi, among women, she thinks she is not weak.

Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying. This time she came to Jinyangguan, she really wanted to really experience the feeling of riding a horse galloping, but unfortunately in order to move the green bamboo that could not ride a horse, she had to choose to take a carriage.

"Miss, do you want to add a piece of clothing?" Lu Zhu, who was beside her, took out a thickened satin cloak with a mink fur collar from her baggage, intending to put it on her.

Shen Qianmo waved her hand, "No, it's not too late to get out of the carriage and put it on." Seeing that there was a look of tiredness on Luzhu's delicate goose egg face, he asked out loud: "I've been traveling for days, are you tired?" ”

Green Bamboo hurriedly shook his head. "Not tired, not tired, the slave is very strong, not tired at all. But Miss, since she was a child, her body has been weak, and the slave is really afraid that you will not be able to endure this hardship. Luzhu's little face was full of worry.

Shen Qianmo smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, your young lady is no longer the sick young lady she used to be, it's okay." ”

"That's right, Miss is really more and more surprised by the slave maid, and the slave maid feels that there is nothing to stump Miss." Lu Zhu's big black and white eyes flashed, and he looked at her with a look of adoration.

For convenience, Shen Qianmo and Luzhu were both dressed as men on this march. Shen Qianmo tied up her head full of green silk with only one ribbon, just like the ponytail she often tied in modern times, dressed in a light cyan simple shirt, and there were no other ornaments on her body.

Luzhu looked at the young lady in front of him who had been with him for more than ten years, obviously he should be familiar with it, but he felt a strangeness.

In the past, the young lady didn't even dare to take a step out of the door of the Guogong Mansion, but the current young lady is more daring than a man, not only will she perform an autopsy to solve the case, but now she even dares to go to the battlefield.

Although she couldn't figure out what was going on, it was rumored in the capital that Miss was possessed by an evil spirit, but so what, even if Miss was possessed by an evil spirit, she would always be her own Miss.

"You girl, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Shen Qianmo looked at her with a look of adoration, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled. This girl is really honest with herself.

Originally, she didn't plan to take Luzhu with her, but as soon as this girl heard that she was going to the battlefield, she pestered her alive and dead, and waited at her door with two burdens before dawn, which really made her cry and laugh. Thinking that the barracks were full of old men, it would be good to bring her a companion, so I agreed.

In the past few months, she has experienced a lot of things with herself, but this girl is a lot calmer and bolder, and this time she came out can be regarded as an experience for her.

The sun sets over the long river, the sky is about to twilight, and the 80,000 army rushes through the mountains with neat steps, all the way the horses' hooves neigh, the dust is all over the sky, and countless birds are frightened.

"Luzhu, ask Xue Hao, how long will it take to get to Jinyang Pass?" Shen Qianmo leaned back in the carriage and said lightly.

"Yes." Lu Zhu answered, lifted the curtain, and asked loudly outside: "Captain Xue, may I ask, how long will it take to get to Jinyang Pass?" ”

Xue Hao has been punished by Meng Yuanheng for dereliction of duty since the last time he protected Shen Qianmo, and after cleaning up the secret guard team, he has returned to the Feiyun Riding experience. After a few months, the young man worked hard and performed well, and now he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

On this trip, he was ordered to protect Shen Qianmo along the way. He rode a horse and followed the carriage, paying attention to the movements around him, when he suddenly heard Luzhu's question, and subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw the beautiful face and bright eyes of the green bamboo, the young and handsome face was flushed with an imperceptible flush.

Coughing lightly, he pretended to be serious and said, "Green Bamboo Girl, this place is not far from Jinyang Pass, if there is no accident, you can reach it before dark." ”

"Oh, thank you." Lu Zhu thanked him, turned back to Shen Qianmo and conveyed Xue Hao's answer.

Shen Qianmo saw that her face was flushed, and she seemed to have a little shyness that she didn't have time to retreat, and her heart moved.

Could it be that this girl has a mind for Xue Hao?

Xue Hao, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looks dignified, and self-motivated, is generally good, and is also a good match with Luzhu, if the two can get married to Qin Jin, it will also be a good thing.

Her mind turned, and she was about to test Luzhu for a few words, when she suddenly heard the neighing of war horses outside, and then the carriage shook and stopped.

"What's going on?" Shen Qianmo lifted the curtain and looked out of the car.

Xue Hao turned over and dismounted, and reported outside the car: "Princess, there are a few deserters from our side in front, and General Wenren grabbed them and was asking. ”

Deserter? Shen Qianmo frowned slightly. Could it be that the Jinyang Pass garrison is really so bad, or is it that this He Liancheng really uses soldiers like a god and is not easy to deal with?

"Let's take a look." She instructed Xue Hao lightly.

"Yes." Xue Hao received the order and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the front of the line.

Shen Qianmo heard Wen Renyuan's majestic and righteous rebuke in the carriage. "A few of you, since you are the guards of Jinyang Pass, you should do your best to defend the pass to the death, but now you are fleeing like a bad seed, aren't you afraid of military law?"

Seeing Shen Qianmo get down from the carriage, Wen Renyuan turned to salute her. "I've seen the princess."

Shen Qianmo nodded at him, and saw three soldiers in armor kneeling in front of him, gray-faced, unable to see their true faces, and they were drooping their heads at this time, probably shocked by Wen Renyuan's momentum, and did not dare to raise their heads.

Hearing the sound of Wen Renyuan's salute, the three of them subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at Shen Qianmo quickly.

His eyes flickered, his face was treacherous, as if he was hidden, and he was not a loyal and good person. Shen Qianmo glanced at it lightly and made a conclusion in her heart.

Her psychology and micro-expressions are not for nothing. There is more than one suspicion about these three people.

If it is a deserter on the battlefield, why is it that only the face is dirty, but the armor on the body is intact, it seems that he deliberately hides his true face.

And she didn't think that the food of the Jinyang guards would be so good, the soldier in the middle was obviously a man with a fat brain, and he didn't look like a soldier who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years.

"Who are the three of you, why do you pretend to be border guards and escape from Jinyang Pass?" Now that he had made up his mind in his heart, Shen Qianmo asked sharply, not giving them the slightest room to turn around.

The three of them shrank when they heard this, and then shouted in unison, insisting that they were just small soldiers guarding the border, just because the war was tight, Jinyang Pass was in an emergency, and the Beidi people were fierce and cruel, and they cut people when they saw them, which was really terrifying. And several of his families have parents and wives to take care of, so they are impulsive and want to flee this place in order to save their lives.

The three of them cried and cried, which was simply sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who saw it. Shen Qianmo just smiled coldly and said to Wen Renyuan: "General Wenren, the soldiers escaped from the battle, how should they be dealt with according to military law?" ”

"Kill." Wen Renyuan spit out two words majestically.

Shen Qianmo nodded, "The three of you escaped from the battle, causing our army to be disheartened, and losing the opportunity before the battle was really a great crime. ”

She didn't believe it, and she couldn't tell them who they really were.

"Subordinates obey." Wen Renyuan was about to order the deputy next to him to escort the three of them down and behead them on the spot, but a sharp shout came from behind him: "Slow down, please be merciful to Princess Xuan's subordinates!" ”
