After the rain, the grassland was filled with mist, and the caravan marched forward in the mist, and finally arrived at Xuanwu Pass before nightfall.

As the last barrier against barbarians, Xuanwu Pass has majestic and heavy buildings, solid city walls, and wide bluestone roads leading to the main city.

The night was low, the gray sky was dotted with dark shadows, and a few scattered stars were dotted with the nine skies.

Xuanwu Guan Station, the dim candle flame in the room was flickering, Xiao Zhao was standing next to the bed, his heart was full of pity, and he looked at Su Juan who was still asleep on the bed with tears in his eyes.

"Squeak!" There was a sound of the door opening lightly at the door, Xiao Zhao looked at the door with tearful eyes, it was Su Jin who settled the team and came to see his sister.

Because of the protection of grain and grass from the sun and rain all the way, it was protected by an oilcloth early, and it was not rained and safe.

Su Jin strode towards the bed, and asked softly, "How is it?"

Xiao Zhao hurriedly stood up and saluted Su Jin and said, "Young Master, Miss, she has been asleep and has never woken up. ”

Su Jin took a deep breath, and the worry in his eyes that couldn't be concealed, the gentle curvature that often hung on the corners of his mouth turned into a trace of depression.

walked to the bed, slowly sat down next to the bed, looking at her sister's haggard face, her heart was filled with a trace of heartache, she failed to protect her sister, and her heart was full of self-blame.

What my sister wanted to see most before she fell into a coma was King Lang, stretched out her slender fingers, held her sister Su Juan's thin jade hand, and said in a choked voice: "Ah Juan, you will be able to see King Lang tomorrow, you have to wake up quickly." There were tears in his eyes.

Xiao Zhao watched from the sidelines with unbearable sourness, and tears couldn't stop dripping, "Young Master, Miss is a kind person, God will definitely bless Miss to wake up soon." ”

There was a lingering sadness in the room, and vaguely, Su Jin heard the sound of footsteps outside the room and concluded that someone was coming from outside the room.

Hiding the light in his eyes, he judged that it should be Rong An of the Langwang Mansion and Ji Yunfan, the prince's personal guard, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Zhao.

"Take good care of Miss. The originally warm voice turned out to be hoarse and difficult to sound.

After instructing Xiao Zhao, he strode away alone, pushed open the door, and saw Rong An and Ji Yunfan standing at the door of the room.

Su Jin closed the door and retreated, her eyes swept lightly over the two of them.

Ji Yunfan was obviously more worried than Rong An, after all, he was ordered by the crown prince to protect Princess Lang, how could he expect Princess Lang to be injured accidentally, he was derelict in his duties.

"Su Duwei, how is Princess Lang now?

Su Jin shook his head solemnly, and there was a hint of desolation in his voice, "Not yet." ”

Rong An originally had no good impression of Su Juan because Su Juan was the daughter of Prime Minister Su Chengru, but along the way, Su Juan's thoughts about King Lang could be seen by anyone.

A woman travels thousands of miles north to find a husband, sleeps in the open all the way, is exposed to the sun and rain, and endures more pain than ordinary women can endure.

There was also a hint of emotion on the cold face covered with ravines, and he said to Su Jin: "Don't worry about Captain Su, when you arrive at the barracks tomorrow, there will be a medical officer stationed in the palace, and there will be a way to heal Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Listening to Rong An's words, Su Jin's heart was even more worried, she was going to see King Lang tomorrow, Su Jin still clearly remembered her sister's scarred hands, although the scar had subsided, but King Lang's indifference to his sister was still there.

My sister has been in love with King Lang since she was a child, and she did not hesitate to disobey her father's will, and she disobeyed the holy will to marry King Lang, and she did not hesitate to go to the barbarians to save King Lang.

It's just that providence made people, my father killed Concubine Rong, there is an inextricable grudge between them, will my sister's infatuation be exchanged for King Lang's ruthlessness?

The night breeze blew, which made people's hearts lifted, but it couldn't blow away the sad cloud in Su Jin's heart.

Su Jin turned around and raised her head, her eyes full of worry looking up at the sky, "Pray for cold, if you still have a little conscience, don't let down Ah Juan's infatuation." ”

The next day, the overcast weather gradually cleared, the stratus clouds dispersed, and the warm sun shone on the vast land.

Su Jin sat on his horse and led a team of men and horses towards the Great Zhou military camp outside Xuanwu Pass.

From a distance, I saw a forest of camp tents, the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty waving in the wind, and I could vaguely hear the sound of "drill" practice in the barracks.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou saw from a distance that a group of men and horses outside the barracks were moving in the direction of the barracks, and there was already a group of men and horses running in the direction of Jin, and at the same time they sent people into the barracks to inform the deputy general Shen Tujun.

The soldiers led by Qi Han were well-trained, and it only took a moment for them to come to the front, and the pair of guards sat on horses, carrying long knives at their waists, and the guards led by them tightened the reins of their horses, and warned Su Jin and others: "The Great Zhou military camp is heavy, and it is strictly forbidden to travel through business." ”

Su Jin had long known that they would not enter the barracks lightly, and had already ordered Xiao Zhao to take out the prince's order from Su Xuan's body in advance and raise it in his hand.

"The crown prince token of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here again! ”

The soldiers looked at each other, unmoved, sitting on their horses, tightening the reins of their horses, looking at the golden token in Su Jin's hand, shining in the sunlight.

They couldn't be sure whether the group in front of them was a 'traitor', let alone whether the token in Su Jin's hand was real or fake, and they still confronted Su Jin and the others coldly, not letting the unknown people get half a step closer to the barracks, and at the same time delaying time, waiting for the arrival of their deputy general Shen Tujun.

"I repeat, no matter who you are, this is within the scope of the Great Zhou military camp, and no one is allowed to enter at will. ”

Ji Yunfan's eyebrows narrowed, they were the prince's personal guards, and someone ignored the prince's order, a little impetuous, Su Jin hurriedly held down Ji Yunfan.

"Yun Fan, King Lang has always been strict in governing the army, and it is not an exaggeration for his soldiers to deal with it like this, since we have shown the prince token, they will not act rashly, and now we are waiting for someone to inform King Lang of the news. ”

Shaoqing, the deputy general Shen Tujun, rode a horse and led a team of people and horses in the direction where Su Jin and the others were.

At this time, Rong An's expression was soothed, the furrows on his face gradually flattened, and there was a little joy in his eyebrows, "Captain Su, the person who came is Shen Tujun, the deputy general of the prince." ”

Shen Tujun was judging the expressions and demeanors of the group from a distance.

Even if he didn't recognize Su Jin and Ji Yunfan, but Rong An, the housekeeper of the Langwang Mansion, he would not admit his mistake, and his heart was full of suspicions, how could Rong Bo appear here?

In an instant, the centaurs had already approached, and Shen Tujun sat on the horse with the reins in his hand, his expression was awe-inspiring and heroic.

"Uncle Rong, why did you come to the barracks?" the voice was full of masculinity peculiar to a soldier.

Finally someone who could speak, Rong An stepped forward and said to Shen Tu Jun on the horse: "General Shen Tu, I am here to escort Princess Lang to see King Lang!"
