Chapter 449: Giving a leg of mutton

But the thieves who were chasing after him were like maggots on tarsal bones, and they stabbed the camel's ass and thighs directly with knives that slowly stopped.

The camel was in pain and ran away at once.

Now, even the tamer's flute won't work.

The envoy was shocked and shouted at Qi Jingxing, "Quick, what it contains is all fine iron ore, which is to be dedicated to your emperor, but you can't lose it!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingxing glanced around, casually snatched the bow and arrow of an archer beside him, and then pulled out the feather arrow on his back, and fired several arrows in unison.

"Whew!"

And three thieves fell straight down!

After a few more strokes, half of the thieves were gone, and the rest were frightened and fled in a panic with the camels!

"Everyone, go and drive the camels!" He snapped.

So, everyone flew on their horses and chased the camels from several directions, while Qi Jingxing galloped with the horses while constantly shooting arrows, and with each arrow, a thief fell to the ground.

In the end, the thieves were defeated by Qi Jingxing, the dead were killed, the wounded were injured, and all the rest fled in a hurry.

Qi Jingxing, on the other hand, threw down the arrows and waited for the guards to drive the camels back.

These thieves are not like well-trained killers, but like ordinary mountain bandits, but how can such mountain bandits have the courage to rob a country's mission?

I'm afraid I've lived enough!

What's even more strange is that how could these mountain bandits know the news of the mission, and they have set up an ambush in advance?

There's definitely something wrong with that.

At this time, the sedan chair on the camel in the middle was opened, and a curious and inquiring gaze poked out of it and fell on Qi Jingxing's body.

But soon, the crack in the door that the sedan chair lifted from the inside closed.

After about half an hour, the guards returned with the scattered camels, and all but one of the camels was undamaged when the thieves had cut through the bags with their knives and lost the goods.

However, the camels have suffered.

So the envoy ordered to rest in place for a while, and then he sent people to rub the medicine on the wounded camels, and to feed and water them.

When everything was done, the people continued on their way, and when it was dark, they found a place to camp on the spot.

As winter was approaching, the weather was already very cold, so in order to keep warm, everyone lit a lot of large fires, and then the mission took out their unique smoked mutton of the Northern Zhao Kingdom, and roasted it while eating it directly with a small blade.

"General Qi, we are very grateful for today's events, let's try our special food."

One of the guards stepped forward and handed him a leg of lamb that had been smoked to a golden brown brown and a dagger with fine patterns, "just like this, a piece of it is put in the mouth, and the fragrance is overflowing, and it melts in the mouth."

Saying that, this clear-eyed and handsome, exotic envoy guard carefully demonstrated to Qi Jingxing, and handed the thin slices of ham like cicada wings to Qi Jingxing's mouth.

"It is my duty to protect the Mission."

Qi Jingxing took a step back, and instead of eating the ham slices handed to his mouth, he also learned to cut off a slice of meat that was as thin as a cicada's wings.

"The general is a good sword!"

The guard's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "There are not many people in our place who can cut this bacon so thinly, and in the shop, there are people who specially ask for slices of bacon with good knife skills at a high price to show customers."

"Those who practice martial arts naturally need to know a little bit about swords." Qi Jingxing put the smoked leg in his mouth and tasted it, and as the guard said, it melted in his mouth, with a mellow taste, and what was even more strange was that this mutton didn't have any smell.

It seems that we have to get one home for Jocho to taste.

She definitely loved it.

Thinking about it, he took the initiative to ask, "This bacon tastes really good, I don't know if you have any more, if you can, I want to change a few."

"It's precious, and I

We have to give a portion of it to your honorable Emperor." The guard raised his voice, then changed his voice and said with a smile, "However, the general is our benefactor, and we can give you two of them."

"If that's the case, then thank you very much."

Qi Jingxing immediately said.

Naturally, he couldn't ask for other people's things for nothing, but if he returned the gift, he had to wait until he returned to the capital.

The guard looked at him with a cold and usual expression, but felt curious.

"Don't you like to laugh?" He asked.

Qi Jingxing felt that this question was a little strange, but he still replied, "I really don't like to laugh very much."

With that, he sat down beside the fire, a little further away from the strange guard.

At this time, an envoy from the mission came over, saw the two talking together, hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt the two, and then exchanged with Qi Jingxing in the somewhat stumbling official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, it did not last long for the messenger to return to his camp.

Before going back, he only said that he wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible, and after learning that he would be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow, the envoy returned to the camp with confidence.

At noon the next day, the mission arrived in the capital.

At this time, the imperial court, which had received the news early, had already ordered the gate under the city wall to be completely opened, and both sides of the road were filled with a procession of people who had come to welcome the princess into the city, as well as curious people who came to watch.

For a time, the city was bustling.

"What do you say this princess of the Northern Zhao Kingdom looks like, they are also from the north, will they look very similar to the Huns?"

"I saw the people from the Northern Zhao Kingdom many years ago, they are quite white, not the same as the beast-like appearance of the Huns, I think, this princess should be very good-looking."

"Hehe, the princess has come in person, could it be that she came to kiss?"

"If you say that, I think she might have come to marry our emperor!"

"Don't say it, our emperor is not so lustful."

"Che, you all came to see the princess, I came to see General Qi, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"What else is there to see, haven't you heard that General Qi is about to get married? The wedding date is only a month away, what are you still delusional?"

"What? Who is he going to marry?"

"It seems to be the daughter of Mr. Shen who struck iron."

In the crowd, a girl who was sweating profusely and couldn't find her direction heard this sentence, and the expression on her face suddenly changed.

At this time, the city gate was opened, and the procession of the envoys of the Northern Zhao Kingdom began to officially enter the city gate, and Qi Jingxing, as the minister who greeted the envoys, was the first to enter the city.

And the young woman who was dizzy saw Qi Jingxing's face and was immediately shocked.
