Walking further back, Tang Ping and the others met a lot of people who came to deliver things.

Some left their names, and some secretly came to put things at night outside the Xuanjia Riding Camp.

At first, the Xuanjia cavalry thought it was an enemy spy, and after catching a few people, it didn't matter, as long as they didn't want to sneak into the camp and put things outside.

If you don't let them go, they'll probably throw pumpkins and pheasants from the side of the road into the line during the day the next day.

The first wounded person who came out of the Xuanjia Rider this time was because he was accidentally hit on the head by a pumpkin.

Instead of receiving the care of his comrades-in-arms, he became a laughing stock.

Xiang Long scolded the little soldier angrily, if it weren't for the pumpkin being a rolling stone during the war, it is estimated that the grass on the grave will be three feet tall next year.

In this way, the originally estimated time was greatly extended, and by the time Tang Ping and the others arrived at the border fort city, it was already almost ten days later than the expected time.

And where do those Xuanjia riders still have an elite appearance, except for the five hundred Xuanjia riders who are on guard at any time, everyone else is the same as the fleeing, and their bodies are full of all kinds of things.

At that time, when I went to the city to call the door, the defenders of Fort City almost didn't dare to open the door.

The more than 1,000 knights with potatoes on their left shoulders, pickles on their right shoulders, and salted fish on their waists, tell me that they are the most elite Xuanjia riders in the Tang Dynasty?

"Ping Guogong, long time no see!" The current defender of Baozi City is Tang Ping's old acquaintance, Yao Chong Yao Yuanzhi, who was with him on the mission to Dongyue at that time.

Tang Ping also learned later, no wonder this thing is so shrewd, in his own history, this is a bull who has served as the prime minister of the three dynasties of Ruizong Xuanzong and the secretary of the military department since the beginning of the martial arts.

"Yuanzhi, it's getting more and more manly!" Tang Ping patted his armor and went out of Beijing, finally no longer had to be photographed, only for his own share of other people's photos.

The last time I saw him, he was dressed as a scholar, and now that he is wearing armor, he has also experienced some vicissitudes, and Tang Ping feels different.

"Ping Guogong, I don't know how to take what you said."

"Hahahaha!"

The two went to Dongyue together, and when Tang Ping went to Dongyue to rescue Wang Qingluan, he also got Yao Yuanzhi's help, which can be regarded as a deep friendship.

And Yao Yuanzhi has been promoted from a small army to the defender of Baozi City in just a few years, in addition to his real ability, Yu Tangping's friendship is also so related.

"Pingguo Gong, why did you come today to ride the Xuanjia ......?"

The latter words are not easy to say, but Yao Yuanzhi is really curious, so he can only ask a little vaguely.

"Hey, it's not because you have too many fans, along the way, it's all the things your fans want us to bring!"

"Powder? Silk? Yao Yuan was stunned, this fan, of course he knows that potatoes and sweet potatoes can be made, and after boiling and putting chili oil, it is the favorite of the generals and soldiers in the army.

But why is it something sent by fans? Fans will also send salted fish?

"Hahaha, it's the people of Datang, the meaning of fans is, it means that they like you and worship you, they are your fans!"

Tang Ping pointed to the things that the Xuanjia Rider began to unload: "Along the way, the people heard that we were coming to the border army, and they all asked us to bring some hearts here." This person has a little heart, stacked together, it is as heavy as Mount Tai! ”

Yao Yuanzhi didn't expect that the reason why Xuanjia was so embarrassed was because of this, and his face couldn't help but be moved.

"It's getting late today, so tomorrow we will ask the soldiers to come and take pictures in batches, and we will type out their photos, write on the back what they want to bring home, and send them to their families."

"Photo...... What is it? ”

Few people have ever seen this thing in Chang'an, let alone Yao Yuanzhi, who has been stationed in the border army of Baozi City.

"A photo is something that freezes a moment, just like a painting, only faster and more like!"

As he spoke, Tang Ping took a photo from Lu Yi and handed it to Yao Yuanzhi.

Yao Yuanyi almost knelt when he saw it, because the person in the photo was Li Shimin, who he had seen when he entered Beijing last time.

When Tang Ping said about the portrait just now, he was still thinking about how similar it could be, but now that he sees him, he knows it, like the real thing.

"Now, there are words from His Majesty to you."

Yao Yuanzhi hurriedly took it, and it was His Majesty's flying white body behind it, with a few words written on it: Tang Dynasty rivers and mountains, not an inch of land.

Yao Yuanzhi took the photo a little excitedly, his hands trembled slightly, and he knelt down on one knee in the direction of Chang'an and said, "The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

"Okay, okay, when I came out, His Majesty said that Yuan Zhi was guarding Fort City, and he was very relieved."

Helping Yao Yuanzhi up, Tang Ping asked, "How is the recent movement in Dongyue?" ”

"Not so good!" Yao Yuanzhi said more seriously: "According to the report of our spies in Dongyue, this year they swept all the seas in the east, opened up the shipping lanes of the South Seas, and brought back a large number of slaves and material wealth from the South Seas. ”

"With this wealth, they bought a large number of Yakuma from the Yaku people or the white-haired people in the north of Beiyan, transported them to Dongyue by sea, formed a large number of cavalry, and purchased a large number of fine iron weapons from Miao Man and other places, and now their strength should not be underestimated."

"In addition, the construction of Dongyue naval vessels has been basically completed, and their demand for our Datang tung oil has also begun to decrease, so now the relationship between Dongyue and us is very ambiguous, and Dongyue people will have some tentative small actions to cross the line from time to time."

Saying that, Yao Yuanzhi pointed to several Datang Shenwei cannons at the head of the city and whispered: "It is estimated that it is because of the fear of our Datang Shenwei cannons that it has been reined in." But Pingguo Gong knows that Dongyue is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate of our Baozi City is not much different from them, and it rains for a lot of the year. ”

"Once it is the rainy season, in fact, it will be difficult for our current Datang Shenwei Cannon to make a difference."

Tang Ping read the military reports of the armies on all sides in Chang'an, and it was indeed the most tense situation in Baozi City, but he didn't expect that after arriving here, he found that it was even more full of crises than he imagined.

"Okay, you go get busy, I'll take Qingluan to take a casual look on the city wall."

"In that case, the last general will not disturb Her Royal Highness the Duke of Pingguo and the Princess."

At night, when the wind was strong, Wang Qingluan wrapped Tang Tang in a thick quilt and stood on the city wall, looking at the land of Dongyue in the distance.

"In fact, when I was in Dongyue, I rarely went out of Fuyang, and I only came to this border once." Wang Qingluan said faintly: "It's just that I didn't expect that I could only watch from a distance like this now." ”

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law!" Tang Ping gently put his arm around her shoulder: "You also heard just now, there will be a battle between Datang and Dongyue, and it is likely that the time will not be too far, when the time comes, we will defeat Dongyue, it is estimated that Tang Tang will also leave, let's take Tang Tang to the beach to play." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to his daughter: "How is it, good daughter, do you want to go to the sea to play in the sand and catch crabs?" ”
