463 Boyan's entanglement
Even if everything goes well and these escorts are sent to Hojing, where will these hundreds of guards go? Go back to the Eighth Division of Zhou or join the Sixth Division of the West? The road ahead is confusing.
After walking for a while, Xu was too bored, and the deputy general felt sorry for Boyan, who was the chief general, and wanted to relieve his mood, so he chatted without a match: "General, why did we take a detour to stop in Yancheng at the last stop? Still staying for two days?"
Boyan pointed to the plain white curtain car behind him, which was more than ten zhang away: "Xing Nu's sister has married Yanhou's wife, and this time she is married far away, I am afraid that the sisters will never see each other again, so Tete went to say goodbye." It's also human nature."
"I see." The adjutant general nodded: "But that Yanhou wants to go all the way to Hojing with us, why did the general insist on resigning?" After all, he is the brother of Zhaogong Tiger!
"There are some things you don't know." Boyan Zhengse said: "I used to be a member of the Zhaogong Mansion, and the Prime Minister was personally killed, and Yan Hou was not allowed to enter Beijing for ten years. He thought I didn't know? Deliberately tricked me. If he really responds to him, it will be enough for the Zhao brothers to reconcile, if so...... Both of them will be angry with me!"
"Is that so?" The adjutant general was surprised: "The summoning minister has such a gap with his own brother? It's also our generals who are lonely and unheard." He turned around and glanced at the plain white mantle cart, and felt quite piercing: "That Yan country is a bitter cold land, and it is too poor. I don't think this Xing Guo is much stronger, and even this wrapped Qi Su is not dyed with a festive and bright color, it's really frustrating!"
When Boyan heard this, he was slightly stunned. In the past, when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't understand why Yanhou, as the king of a country, always liked to run to Hojing and didn't want to stay in the country? It wasn't until he escorted the North Road escort group to Yancheng for a temporary start that he deeply understood the pain of Zhao Zhongbao.
Although I had guessed that Yancheng was poor, I still didn't expect it to be so poor. Although it was the height of summer, the city was as empty as the autumn wind swept through the trees, and the fallen leaves were gone, and the city was dry and sparse. The market is deserted, and almost all shops are closed. There were few pedestrians, ragged and hurried, as if they had lost interest in everything.
Even though Chen Fei's swaggering colorful curtain cart filled with the strange fragrance of orchid and madder passed by the market, few people looked back.
Boyan once took a few sergeants to walk up to the head of Yancheng leisurely, wanting to see the military appearance of the soldiers of the defenders in the surrounding area. But before he could go to the city, his heart was cold.
The stone staircase entrance of the upper city and the upper and lower corridors leading to the Tibetan Soldier Urn City did not even have a single sentry soldier, and Boyan and his men climbed to the top of the city as if they were in a no-man's land. The head of the city was even more chilling, except for a few large sea-blue "Yan" flags planted in the battlements lazily rolled, there were no soldiers, and the head of the city was empty enough to pass the horse team.
Bo Yan had doubts, and finally found a group of soldiers in the hidden room of the arrow tower, but they were all snoring and falling asleep. A soldier shouted, and the pale soldier was extremely irritable, and shouted at Boyan who was dressed as a merchant with his eyes closed:
"We're starving! Who has the spare money to buy your things? Let's go! Lao Tzu wants to sleep, and if he doesn't sleep, he won't be able to last tomorrow's dinner. There's only one meal a day, you know?"
After that, he still didn't open his eyes, and he curled up on the blue brick floor and fell asleep.
Boyan was angry, and he no longer ignored Yanhou Zhaozhongbao's retention, nor did he care about the tears of the Xing sisters, and urged the horse to set off to the west. How can such a Yan country, such a Yan marquis, who is so neglectful in political affairs, defend the northern frontier and resist Rong Di?
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard the chirping of waterfowl, and the air became moist and sweet, and a large lake suddenly appeared in front of me. The waves are endless, and the sun shines on the surface of the lake, turning into countless broken gold, undulating with the waves, sparkling and flashing......
The guards erupted in cheers: "Great! I can drink horses! After walking this way, I can wash my ......."
Seeing a rare smile on Boyan's face, the adjutant general boldly suggested, "General, seeing that the sun is sinking, why don't you camp and rest by the lake tonight?" The brothers had walked all the way and hadn't eaten a bite of hot food in days. Besides, even if our rough men are not tired, the ladies still have to wash and sharpen......
As he listened, the lieutenant suddenly stopped his mouth and stared at the lake in a daze. Boyan felt strange, followed his gaze, and suddenly felt relaxed. I saw a woman covered in purple curtains slowly walking towards the lake, with her hands
Gently stirring the water of the lake......
"That's Princess Chen, right? Tut-tut, although I can't see my face, I can't see this back, but I am definitely a beauty!" The lieutenant seemed to be swallowing saliva.
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Boyan shouted, "The king's concubine, how can you allow me to judge our tastes?"
"No! The last general is abrupt."
Boyan sighed lightly: "Forget it, you go and set up camp!" I'll have to get a little closer to the front guard."
Where the job was, Boyan had to follow, standing ten steps away and guarding. I saw Chen Fei's hands like willow branches, facing the wind, swaying slightly, slender fingers like bamboo shoots, jade color, reflecting the sun, and the two jade bracelets on the wrist gently collided, making a dingdong sound......
Boyan looked at it, a little unrelenting, and hurriedly avoided his gaze, but it was too late.
"Cousin, Cousin Yan......" The purple curtain left a soft call.
"You...... Recognize me?" Boyan was slightly surprised. But how can you recognize yourself when you were a child?
Yes, when his grandfather King Xiao was on the throne, his biological father abolished Wang Zihui was the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, and when he was still in the middle of the day, his mother Suifei was still the highly-married princess that Chen Guo was proud of. Every time Chen Hou enters the king of Beijing, he always carries the most favored concubine by his side, which is the purple yarn girl in front of him.
He remembered that the woman of his childhood had waddled beside him and grabbed his sleeve, but the memories were too old to be his own. As for the adult Chen Fei, he had no impression until she wore a purple curtain and called him "cousin" by the lake. I remember that at that time, my mother vaguely said that my uncle had promised this family business, and he could get married just by waiting for him. Z.br>
What do you think? Boyan shook her head violently, now things are wrong, she is about to become the concubine of the Son of Heaven, she is just the Sima of the Chinese army who left the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, and I don't know where the future is? He and her are already two people, so why bother here?
Thinking of this, Boyan bowed solemnly: "What do you say, princess? The princess is about to enter the palace as the princess, and she should be cautious in her words and deeds, and she must not attract gossip!"
"Alas—" Concubine Chen sighed lightly, her words full of grief and sorrow: "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, how can it be as vast and comfortable as this prairie? Looks like my cousin has a grudge against me. But as a woman, how can marriage be autonomous? My mother insisted on repenting of her marriage, and I couldn't ......."
"There is no need to talk about the past." Bo Yan took a step back, and refused to raise his head: "Now the last general is responsible for the role of a nurse, and he will be the guardian of the safety of the princess and her party. The rest of the matter, the princess needless to say, has nothing to do with the last general."
Chen Fei seemed a little stunned, stood up and was about to say something. Suddenly, I heard a noise from the lake on the other side, and two or three bloodstained chamberlains and maids staggered over in a panic, pulling Boyan for help, "General, hurry up...... There are soldiers! Princess...... The princess has been taken captive by them!"
"What? This is the realm of the old Kui Rong, how can there be soldiers?" Boyan was shocked and suspicious, since the Kui Rong Department was brought into the Wei Realm by Kui Duoyou to live together, there are only two countries near this place, Guzhu and Mizhi. After Guzhu sacrificed his daughter Wuzhina and Wei Hou to make peace, the two countries have always been on good terms, and there has been no war. As for Mizhi, although it is not an ally, it is also in the market with each other, and it has nothing to do with the Central Plains. Because of this, Wei Hou and Caite drew up this route and sent themselves to escort the wives to the north road into Hojing. Could it be that the Myitz Kingdom has rebelled?
"What princess? I'm the only one here who deserves to be called these two words? Is Xing Huan also worthy of being called a princess?" Under the purple curtain, Chen Fei's voice came from the voice of Chen Feiman's indifference, and at such a point, she still had to fight for dignity and humility. Suddenly, Boyan had no good impression of his ex-fiancée. Or is it more urgent to have something at hand!
"So, Xing Huan was taken captive?" Boyan pulled over one of the chamberlains and asked in a loud voice.
"Yes......" said the chamberlain tremblingly, "the princess went to the lake to bathe, and she didn't want to meet a group of hunting soldiers, and the leader was a middle-aged man. A crowd rushed up, grabbed the princess on her horse, and left...... I waited for a few people to be stabbed by them, and reluctantly lay down and pretended to be dead, so I survived and came to report to the general!"
Boyan's heart was cold, his wife was plundered, this is a big crime! A few heads are not enough to cut off.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing him get on the horse, Chen Fei asked.
"Naturally, the whole army snatched Xing Ying back!" Boyan said as he pulled out the horn from under the saddle and sent it to his mouth.
"You're confused!" Concubine Chen suddenly snatched the horn away, smashed it on the big stone, and shouted, "Those people will soon know that there is a concubine of the Son of Heaven here, and they will definitely come to rob him. What you have to do now is to quickly take me and Ji Jiang out of here, understand?"
"You ......"
"What are you?" Concubine Chen reprimanded sharply: "Xing Huan was originally added later, I am the queen's cousin, the daughter of Duke Chen, and I will be at least named the second concubine when I enter the palace, you only need to protect me from danger to atone for my crimes." What else do you want?"
Between the electric light and flint, I can't think of much. Boyan grabbed Concubine Chen's arm and shouted, "Get on the horse!"
Chen Fei struggled desperately backwards: "I...... I don't know how to ride a horse!"
"What a princess, it's useless!" Boyan pushed her in the direction of the mantle cart: "You get into the car yourself!"
Chen Fei staggered forward, and was colliding with a young girl, looking up, who was not Ji Jiang? Hurriedly grabbed it: "Hurry, it's too late, get in the car with me!"
Ji Jiang saw that she looked flustered, and she didn't have time to ask, the two daughters boarded the car together, and before the two of them could sit down, they raised their whips and urged the horses, and galloped away from the lake like arrows.
