When I heard him say this, I froze for a moment, and the hand that was originally reaching for the curtain slowly retracted.

Li'er was still crying in Mama's arms, a little face was flushed, full of grievances, soft and tender little hands desperately stretched out to me, scratching and scratching in the air, but nothing was caught, she cried louder.

Seeing my daughter like this, my heart was like a knife, but I could only ruthlessly lower the curtain and isolate her crying.

Although I couldn't bear it, I also knew that Yuan Yichu was right.

No matter whose daughter it is, in such an era, she must live strongly, for example, her mother I, if I am really a little weak, I am afraid that I will be bullied long ago, and the man in front of me does not seem to be a soft-hearted person.

I would rather my daughter be a tree standing upright in the wind than the delicate flowers in the greenhouse.

After a while, the guards outside came to report that they were ready, Yuan Yichu gave an order, and the carriage staggered forward, and Li'er's cry was even louder, and I couldn't help but want to look back several times, but I was grabbed by the man next to me, and I could only sit down after all.

The cry of the child gradually moved away.

The wind whistled from the north, mixed with the smell of dust and sand, and it seemed that I could still smell the bloody breath in the wind and the chill of the sword and iron, I lifted the curtain and looked ahead, under the dusk sky, the sunset was about to set, and the blood-colored sunlight sprinkled all over the road in front of me, leading far away.

There, it is the northernmost border city of the Celestial Empire - Dongzhou!

That is, now, the most fierce place of the war, I looked at the dim sky, I don't know why a trace of uneasiness rose in my heart, at this moment, there was a loud long roar in the sky, and when I looked up, an eagle flew from afar, circled twice above the head of our convoy, fluttered and fell, and stopped on Yang Yunhui's outstretched arm.

It's the eagle that is used to deliver the message.

Yang Yunhui took out something from the copper pipe on the eagle's talons, unfolded it and looked at it, with a little smile in his eyes, took the raw meat handed by the servant and fed it to the eagle, handed it to others, and then rode his horse to the side of our carriage, leaned down and said, "Third brother." ”

Yuan Yichu closed his eyes and didn't move, only "um".

"Huang Tianba has solved the matter in Yangzhou, and the news from the border has sent Yao Lao's group back."

As soon as I heard Huang Tianba's name, my heart moved, and Yuan Yichu also opened his eyes, and said with some surprise: "His movements are fast." ”

"Yangzhou, in the end, is his place."

Yuan Yichu sneered and asked, "Now, has he gone to Beijing to report on his work?" ”

"It's already on the way, and the affairs of the south are temporarily handed over to Wei Ningyuan."

"Hmm."

He nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Yang Yunhui let go of the curtain and rode away, at this time, Yuan Yichu turned his head to look at me again, I didn't react to their words, I just looked at the scenery outside, and suddenly there was a gust of wind, rolling sand and dust in my face, and I had sand in my eyes, and suddenly I made a "hmm" sound, and I lowered my head to rub my eyes.

As soon as my hand was raised, he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms: "I'll take a look." ”

As he spoke, he held my face and looked down at my eyes, the two of them were so close to each other, his breath blew on my face, slightly hot, my face turned red, but his waist was wrapped by one of his hands, and he couldn't, so he could only let him hold me like this, tossing for a long time, and finally blowing the annoying sand away.

I was about to break free.

But his hands tightened more and more, and there was a smile in his eyes: "What's wrong?" Afraid of what? ”

I was so anxious that my ears were red, and I couldn't struggle hard, after all, now in broad daylight, if I made any noise and was heard by people outside, I wouldn't be a man, so I lowered my voice and said, "You let go quickly." ”

"Why?"

"I'm going to have you shameless!"

He seemed to be stunned that I would scold him like this, he was stunned for a moment, but he grabbed me harder and sneered: "You are my woman, why am I shameless to treat you like this?" ”

"You-!"

I was so angry with this man's cheekiness that I couldn't speak, I only gritted my teeth and used every bit of strength to struggle, but he was pressed against the car board all of a sudden, and the back of my head hit the soft couch, although it didn't hurt, but it shook me for a while.

He pressed on me, looked at my eyes condescendingly, and said, "You are my woman, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”

“……”

"Everyone in the world should know that you belong to me!"

“……！”

I was pressed by him, looking at the look of those dark eyes as firm as a rock, and suddenly I had a feeling of horror, as if I was going to swallow me.

We walked on the night road, and the smoke and dust raised all the way were lost in the night, and when we woke up in a drowsy way, it was already the morning light, and we heard the noisy voices of people and horses neighing in the distance.

I sat up in a daze, only to find that the carriage was empty.

Where have they all gone? I suddenly came to my senses, hurriedly got up and opened the curtain, and the sunlight suddenly sprinkled the entire carriage, and I saw clearly that the convoy had stopped under a tall city, and the surrounding soldiers and generals all knelt on the ground, holding their breath solemnly, and Yuan Yichu stood on the wide avenue in front of the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him indifferently.

After a while, two people hurriedly walked out of the city gate.

The city gate is tall and the road is also very wide, but these two people go their separate ways, one is Yang Yunhui, and the other is a tall man, half a head taller than Yang Yunhui, a face is as hard as a rock, a wide mouth and nose, a bearded face, holding a tiger's mouth knife on his waist, and an iron armor looks resolute and mighty, compared to Yang Yunhui, there is a tiger-like fierce atmosphere.

As soon as he saw Yuan Yichu, his face immediately showed a solemn expression, and he knelt down and said, "The last general Chang Qing will meet you-" He paused at this point, and then continued: "Meet your lord." ”

"General Chang, please get up."

As soon as Yuan Yichu raised his hand, the general named Chang Qing stood up, his tiger eyes were full of thick evil spirit, he was the kind of fierce general who was used to fighting on the battlefield, compared to people like Yang Yunhui, he was more bloody, where he saw it, where the flowers and trees were going to wither, as soon as he stood up, he looked at me, and I couldn't help but feel a palpitation in my heart.

But such a person is extremely respectful to Yuan Yichu.

I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart, I have never asked carefully, what kind of official position is he, Qincha is not a permanent official position, but if he can be awarded the title of Qincha, the official rank must not be low, but what kind of official rank can make the general who commands the three armies so courteous?

What kind of person is my husband?

I looked at Yuan Yichu's back with some doubts, and he stepped forward and said, "How is the war?" ”

"Hui--Lord Hui's words, three days ago, the general at the end of the year defeated the men and horses of Shengjing going south in Mushui, blocked the Yunling line, and expelled all the people."

"What else are they going to do?"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Chang Qing's swarthy face, and said: "The spies reported that after Shengjing's men and horses withdrew from the border, they were still entrenched in Yunling, but they didn't go south again in the past two days, but they have been a little impatient, but I am afraid that there is still something to do, the emperor - my lord came to Dongzhou this time, it is better to be careful, I am afraid-"

"It doesn't matter."

Yuan Yichu waved his hand lightly, and didn't seem to pay any attention to the 400,000 troops in front of him, and said, "I just said that you are in Ximen, what are you doing?" ”

"Lord Hui, today another group of people are going south, seeking to enter the city and return to their hometowns. The last general was not at ease, so he went to inspect it in person. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Yichu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are they?" ”

"Merchant traveler, customs clearance documents are being verified."

Yuan Yichu thought for a while and said, "Take me over to have a look." ”

Chang Qing hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but Yuan Yichu ignored him, but turned around and walked to the side of the carriage and said to me, "Come down." ”

"Do what?"

"Come with me."

I frowned, what's the matter with this man, it seems that the more dangerous the place, the more he wants to take me, although I am not afraid of death, but he is not afraid of my death.

Although I was angry in my heart, but in the end this is the Dongzhou camp, I can't give him no face in front of so many people, so I can only endure a breath and get out of the car, follow him over, when I passed by Chang Qing's side, this rough man glanced at me, his eyes were a little cold, and he hugged my fist and said, "Madam." ”

This great general, you know me too? But looking at his face, he is not kind.

I bowed my head in front of him, and followed Yuan Yichu inside.

In all dynasties, Dongzhou is a border fortress, the gray and abrupt city wall stands majestically, but it also looks dilapidated, and even some obvious sword carvings can be seen on it, as well as traces of fire, all of which show that this city has experienced, the baptism of war.

The same is true on the west city gate, and there are even some wounded soldiers under the city walls, but these are not enough to attract Yuan Yichu's attention.

He stood on the high city wall, condescendingly watched the gate open, and a large number of ordinary people slowly walked in from the outside, all of them with traces of war smoke on their faces, looking exhausted, but because they could go home, they showed a happy look, and walked in happily.

Such a large crowd of people poured in, and the soldiers guarding the city below also became nervous, hurriedly erected a wooden fence, and began to check their customs clearance documents.

Seeing the scene below, I sighed softly and couldn't help but raise my head and look due north.

The morning sun shone in the distance, and at the end of the horizon, a mountain emerged from the dust, like a lying lion, silent and unmoving, but with an incomparable sense of intimidation.

Shengjing's 400,000 army is entrenched there?

And the further north of that Yunling is Shengjing, the former hometown of the royal family, I don't know what kind of scenery there will be, what kind of people will there be.

At this moment, a person's name suddenly rose in my mind - Yuan Xiu.

These days, Yuan Yichu and Yang Yunhui often talk about a person, although they often talk about it, but the expressions and tones of the two people seem to be secretive, it seems that this person has an unusual identity, and even talking about him will give people a depressed feeling, I don't know what kind of person he is?

I was thinking about it, and suddenly, I felt a gaze looking at me.

Warm, soft, as if the sun shines through the clouds, the warmth shines on the human body, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

Who is it?

I was startled, and subconsciously wanted to probe to look, but Yuan Yichu beside me turned his head to look at me: "What's wrong?" ”
