Chapter 132

This year's snow in Tang came later than usual.

The convoy parked on the side of the official road near the barren mountain, the flag whistled with the wind, the snow covered the roof, and the people were covered with snow and shoulders.

The snow fell overnight, bringing a cliff-like cold, and Princess Zhaoyang and the others, who were unprepared, were shivering with cold at this time.

Under the snow, the gold-armored sergeant was packing up his tent.

The helmet on his head had been removed, and he was afraid that his hair would be frozen with the helmet, so he tore off his scalp when he took off the helmet.

Although his cheeks were red from the cold, he was still expressionless and his eyes were very determined.

Everyone's snorts were steaming, and the servants and maids inside and outside the carriage, dressed in thick clothes, were still shivering from the cold.

Some people are still complaining that the Golden Armor Sergeant is moving too slowly, and he hasn't cleaned up the camp for so long.

This place is not far from Huaicheng, and if you can get on the road early, you can enter the city early to warm up.

However, because the Golden Armor Sergeant was too slow, the convoy was unable to set off.

Suddenly, an order came from inside the largest carriage.

After receiving this order, the servants and maids in the carriage got out of the carriage one after another and ran to the camp that was almost cleaned up to finish up for the golden armor sergeant.

The sergeant in golden armor returned to the carriage at the order, and stood in a queue and watched quietly as the servants and maids shivered and packed their things.

A maid came out of the largest carriage and said to the servants, "Your Highness the princess has said it! Since you dislike the slow movement of the Golden Armor Guard, it is up to you to clean it up, and don't delay the time on the road. ”

"No."

This group of maids and servants shivered with cold, and they could only do what they were told, who called them cheap.

It didn't take long for the camp to be cleaned up, at the urging of the princess's personal maid.

Many of them already had chilblains on their hands, some had sallow faces, and some had frozen limbs, but they had no choice but to continue on the road.

In this kind of weather, you can only rush to Huaicheng as soon as possible, and you can't resist such cold in the wild.

"Your Highness said, in the past, you were too pampered in the mansion, thinking about how many soldiers of my Tang Kingdom fought for my Tang Kingdom in such a wind and snow, but now you are so embarrassed just to endure the cold for a moment, it is really unbearable!" The princess's personal maid shouted at all the maids.

"Swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Jin Jiawei was cold and tearful, it was really not easy for a princess to understand them as soldiers.

"Alright, move on."

······

Although the cold wind and snow drifted, the entire Huaicheng was covered with a white snow quilt overnight, and the cold snap made people shiver.

But it couldn't stop the officials of Huai County from gathering near the city gate to greet the master of Huai County.

Qin Yu wore the cold cloak given to him by Zhao Ling'er and stood beside Du Tao.

The two of them were in good spirits, unlike the other two county magistrates, when the cold wind blew, they shrunk into a ball and were still shivering.

Qin Yu stretched out his hand and picked up a snowflake that was not too big or small.

"It's past noon, but the weather is getting colder, and I'm afraid it's going to be a heavy snowfall again."

Du Tao looked at Qin Yu and said with a smile: "Lord Qin still understands the weather." ”

Qin Yu smiled: "Isn't this common sense? After all, the weather should have warmed up after noon, but now it is even colder. ”

"Having said that, there are only a few people who can observe so closely." Du Tao said with a light smile.

"Du... Du··· Lord Du, Her Royal Highness the Princess··· His Royal Highness... When will it be... I can get there..."

The county magistrate of Fengxian County was so cold that he couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Du Tao with a swing.

Du Tao turned his head and asked with a smile: "Fengxian County Order, this is because you can't stand this cold and plan to go back to the city?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The county magistrate of Fengxian County hurriedly said, "Your Highness is coming, even if you freeze to death here, you have to welcome Your Highness's arrival." ”

The county magistrate of Yuxian County hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Lord Du, I am just worried about Your Highness, after all, the weather is so cold, if Your Highness can enter the city earlier, everyone can rest assured earlier." ”

Qin Yu said at this time: "Huaijun is located on the border of Tang and Chu, so dangerous, if His Highness can't even withstand this bit of wind and snow, he won't use it here." ”

"Qin Yu! What do you mean! You are disrespecting Your Highness! ”

"That's right, it's just a big rebellion!"

The Feng County Commander and the Yu County Commander scolded Qin Yu for a while.

Qin Yu snorted lightly, exhaled hot air, and said lightly: "I just said what I wanted to say, but it was also the truth." ”

"Presumptuous! Qin Yu, you are simply a big rebel! The Fengxian county magistrate pointed at Qin Yu and shouted angrily.

Du Tao knew that Qin Yu was sometimes like a child, doing whatever he wanted, saying whatever he wanted, and not thinking about the consequences at all.

So he hurriedly said in a harmonious tone: "Okay, okay, Your Highness is about to arrive, don't make noise again, so as not to make Your Highness dissatisfied with us." ”

Hearing Du Tao say this, a few people quieted down and continued to wait quietly in the distance.

After waiting for another half an hour, the county magistrate of Feng County and the county magistrate of Yu County were already so cold that they almost hugged each other, and their feet were swinging while standing.

At this moment, several white figures appeared in the distance.

If you look closely, you can see that it is a group of carriages, and around the carriages, there are orderly "snowmen".

Obviously, this is Princess Zhaoyang's convoy, and those guards are the guards who escort the princess.

"Your Highness is here, cheer up!" Du Tao shouted to the crowd next to him.

The carriage soon came to the city gate, and the momentum of Jin Jiawei was pressing, and small civil officials like the county magistrates of Feng County and Yu County were already too frightened to raise their heads and dare not speak out.

"Ministers, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Under the leadership of Du Tao and Qin Yu, everyone bowed to the huge carriage.

Suddenly, Princess Zhaoyang's personal maid walked out of the carriage.

"Her Royal Highness the princess said, the weather is very cold today, you should go back and rest as soon as possible, and if there is something to do later, we will discuss it tomorrow."

"No, Her Royal Highness Princess Xie is sympathetic to me and others." Du Tao led everyone to bow again.

Du Tao raised his head and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, the city has prepared a mansion for Her Royal Highness, and please move to the mansion in the city." ”

The maid turned around and said a few words to Princess Zhaoyang in the carriage, and then agreed to Du Tao's proposal.

As Du Tao and others welcomed Princess Zhaoyang into the city, the entire Huai County also became the fief of Princess Zhaoyang at this time.

Within the fief, Princess Zhaoyang could designate fief laws that did not violate Tang law.

Everyone followed, and after sending Princess Zhaoyang into the mansion prepared by Du Tao in advance, they thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would set up a banquet for hospitality.

As a result, everyone didn't have a cup of tea, so they were asked to discuss again tomorrow on the grounds that they needed to rest, and they dealt with everyone back.

Qin Yu looked at the door of the mansion and said with a smile: "This princess is quite mysterious. ”

Du Tao smiled on the side: "If it weren't for the fact that this is a daughter, maybe he would be the prince now." ”
