Just when the courtiers were routinely in the early court, the person who had Wushan Yunyu with Princess Guantao had quietly sneaked into the deserted firewood room of Weiyang Palace last night, and was now busy with some unknown things in the back garden. And next to this, there is a lady dressed gorgeously, a phoenix hairpin jade belt, a brush in her hand with delicate handwriting, and a bamboo basket on one side, where a few puppets lie quietly in the basket, waiting for the arrangement of fate.

After a period of busy work, at noon, nine carts of materials, planted with the Han national flag, swayed in the breeze, as if beckoning to Liaodong.

Huo Quzhi took the holy decree issued by the emperor and went to the Yulin Academy to select one hundred and twelve Yulin warriors, all of whom were healthy and tall; Coupled with the eighty people who can fight well in the Weiqing military camp, it just makes up two hundred integers, and these are about to accompany Huo Quzhi and Dongfang Shuo's three-month trip to Liaodong.

"Driving~" The deafening sound of horses' hooves was thought to be Emperor Liu Che and his uncle Wei Qing who came to see them off with Yu Linwei.

The east gate of Chang'an City is called Changle Gate, there are five doorways, its width is 8.5 meters, the length is up to 33 meters, the scale is grand, but it is also dignified and elegant, without losing the majesty.

After Liu Che, the son of heaven, dismounted, he walked to the front of the envoy convoy and said to Dongfang Shuo: "Aiqing is going to Liaodong, and he must be included in the territory of my Han Dynasty, and he will not lose his demeanor, and deal with it as appropriate." I believe that Aiqing can handle it properly, so I don't say much, I will drink two glasses of Zhuangxing wine first, and I will treat it as I please you. ”

Guo Sheren quickly took out the wine jug from his waist and filled it with five glasses. They were handed to the Emperor, Dongfang Shuo, Wei Qing, Lu Jia, and me. The words were in the wine, the five of them looked at each other and smiled, drank the wine in the wine bottle, and put it back on the plate held by Guo Sheren.

I was in high spirits, dressed in bronze armor, a fiery red war horse, with dragon scale flame spears stuck upside down on the ground next to me, and wolves fluttering in the breeze. A sword hung from his waist, and he was dressed to protect the kill.

"Wei Qing, you see me off, I have official documents to deal with, so I'll go back." The emperor looked at me, nodded and said to Wei Qing.

Covered in bronze armor to cover the young body, a gold-scale spear, a sword, a jujube red horse, behind him are two hundred Yulin guards turned into business travelers, protecting eight or nine carts of materials and goods, some people are riding horses, Dongfang Shuo is sitting in the carriage, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Uncle Wei Qing and I walked side by side at the forefront of this team, also full of armor and carrying cold-scale guns, and the personal soldiers took care of them at the end.

After walking for a long time, the horses were a little irritable, and they made a sound of "poof~choke", and after hearing this, Wei Qing ordered to stop advancing and rest in place. The horses were dragged to the river to drink and eat some forage, and we ate the cookcake and mat the belly under the big tree.

Dongfang Shuo also got off the carriage and dined with us. While eating, Wei Qing began to say to us: "Second brother, go to the sick, Qing will be sent here, and you need to walk the rest of the way by yourself." To get sick, be sure to protect your master Dongfang and his belongings. Don't make any mistakes, don't take the country's major affairs lightly. His Majesty in all the counties along the way was ordered to let him go, and if necessary, Brother Dongfang could show off the battle festival and show his identity, and it was expected that there would be no trouble. ”。

After eating this hasty afternoon tea, Wei Qing beckoned the eighteen people from the headquarters to hurriedly return to Chang'an, and when they disappeared into my pre-emptiveness, he reluctantly turned his head and said to such a brother in the future; "Ladies and gentlemen, General Wei Qing has returned to Chang'an to accompany the holy driver, and the next journey will be completed by us together. Accidents may happen at any time on the way, but this centurion promises that I will not give up on you brothers until I fall, and you brothers can be confident that you will accomplish this great event with me. ”

"We are confident!" A veteran took the lead in responding to me, and one after the other. This was not the answer I was looking for, so I asked them again in a loud voice, "Do you have faith in answering me?" ”。

"Yes!" They answered in unison, as I expected. That's how a soldier should be, simple and straightforward.

Dongfang Shuo looked at this scene through the curtain of the carriage, nodded his head to express satisfaction, then lowered the curtain, closed his eyes and sat quietly in the carriage.

The convoy walked slowly, and in the evening, our group arrived at Xiatai County. After walking for an afternoon, everyone was tired, so we found the official post to arrange a place for us to stay, and we will go again tomorrow. After everyone and the convoy entered the translation hall, leaving twenty or thirty soldiers to guard the supplies first, the others went back to their rooms to rest, and after a while, snoring sounded in more than a dozen rooms.

During the night, I and the soldiers who took turns on duty checked over and over again, and when we were sure that there were no mistakes, we went to sleep.

"Cluck" a rooster crow, dawn, after eating early, regroup.
