73 Chapter 73
The guard looked at the jade pendant dangling in front of his eyes, and then looked at a pair of eyes that could almost grow on the top of his head, only the young man who wrote the words flying and domineering on his face, the guard who had a cold face to check the pedestrian guide laughed suddenly, and looked directly at Wang Li, "Are you really Wang Li?"
Wang Li sneered, raised his hand and flicked it on the jade pendant he was carrying,
The jade pendant shook, and the king character written on it in the big seal reflected the thin sun in the cold wind of northern Xinjiang, and the pride and delicacy fused together, and the king character was more and more delineated.
Hehua's eyelids lifted slightly, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong.
Wang Li was seriously injured by the sixth sister, and he was delayed a lot of time on the road, and they walked for more than a month before they came to the northern frontier, but the scouts of Xianyang City would not stop and go like them, and the expedited guards of six hundred miles followed the planned straight road to the northern frontier, but they could reach the northern Xinjiang city in ten days.
In other words, Meng Yi at this time already knew about Wang Liye breaking into the palace gate and taking her away. If he had the heart, he could set up a guard under the city, and in a few days he would be able to wait for them to fall into the net.
"How else can I lie to you?"
"Keep your eyes open and see clearly, this is—"
"Do it!
A loud shout interrupted him.
The guards looked excited, and they all stepped forward to arrest Wang Li.
The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his foot to kick the fastest guard. - He knew that Meng Yi was uneasy and kind!
"Meng Yi, this dog thing wants to yin me again!" Wang Li cursed, and instantly fought with the guards.
Hehua's head was as big as a fight, "Stop, he has an injury!"
But no one listened to her. To be more precise, Wang Li at this time was like a shining gold brick, and the guards who rushed up did not want to take this gold brick for themselves
Yes.
Of course, if one person can't take it, a group of people will take him down. As long as he is caught, he can go to the peak to receive a lot of rewards, and even increase his official position to the knighthood.
Hehua is hard to say. - She hates this kind of scene where she can't control the situation and can only follow the crowd to see other people's faces.
"Princess, please." The only guard who did not join the battle group was respectful and made a gesture of invitation to Hehua.
Hehua raised his eyes to look at the guards, "Let them stop."
/> "Princess, it is their duty to capture the major general. "
There was some embarrassment on the guard's face.
"Rest assured, princess, they won't hurt the life of the major general."
But he was afraid that Hehua would misunderstand that they were going to kill Wang Li, so the guard hurriedly added, "General Meng stationed in this city has a great relationship with the young general, even if we hand over the major general, General Meng will not hurt the young general, but will only treat the young general as a guest, and serve him with good wine and meat."
Of course, Hehua understands this truth.
Meng Yi will indeed beat Wang Li, let Wang Li eat a trench and grow wise, and then send someone to send them back, accompanied by his personal guards and handwritten letters, sincerely begging his father not to meet Wang Li in general.
But what if the general stationed in this place is not Meng Yi? is the person who Wang Li has offended, so once Wang Li is arrested, what awaits him is malicious revenge, and then Tie Suo will be escorted back to Xianyang.
She didn't want to see that.
Wang Li risked the world's condemnation for her sake, she couldn't watch Wang Li suffer this kind of humiliation, and she didn't want Wang Li to be arrested because of her good temper.
Yes, that's right, she clearly knew why the guards dared to do it in front of her, and they still turned a deaf ear to her repeated orders, and fought with Wang Li endlessly.
- because she is a kind princess praised by everyone, and never makes things difficult for the people below because of small things, so she can be offended and even ignored.
If the sixth sister taken away by Wang Li today, if it is the sixth sister standing by Wang Li's side today, then the sixth sister does not need to speak coldly at all, just an impatient eye, can make the guards dare not move again, because the sixth sister is notoriously difficult to provoke, they don't dare to offend the sixth sister at all, and no one knows when the sixth sister will suddenly go crazy.
Just as Wang Li broke into the palace gate to pick her up, the crossbow/arrow from the hands of the sixth sister caught everyone by surprise. - The person who offends the sixth sister will really die.
As for her, she is a generous and kind princess Hehua, and it doesn't hurt to make some mistakes in front of her. swaying her bodhisattva's heart, she will not make a fuss about sesame mung beans and make people unable to get off the stage.
Hehua's eyes are slightly dark.
She hated the shackles that had been placed on her. Generosity and kindness are not being bullied, and the meaning of these two words should be redefined by her.
"The general who guards the city here is Meng Yi, what does it have to do with me asking you to stop?" Hehua's voice was slightly cool.
People who practice martial arts have good hearing, and Meng Yi, who came down from the city tower, couldn't help but raise his eyelids when he heard this. crane
Hua's eyes looked at the guard, and his voice continued, "I'll say it again, stop."
The Guard's heart jumped.
He had an ominous feeling that the rumored very good princess was already angry, and if they still didn't stop, then no one knew what she would do.
- The more good-tempered people are, the more terrifying they are when they are angry.
But after thinking about it again, the princess is famous, not the kind of superior who deliberately embarrasses others, and how close is General Meng and the young general? Even if they handed over the young general, General Meng would not do anything to the young general, so why can't they gamble? Taking advantage of the east wind of the major general's coming to the northern frontier, he gave himself a promotion in his hopeless life?
The guard pinched his palm, emboldened himself, and said to Hehua with a smile, "Princess, why do you have to be embarrassed and humiliated?" You know, General Meng won't-"
"Poof!"
The crisp sound of the sword interrupted the guard's words.
The guard was startled, the sword that was originally hanging on his waist had been drawn by Hehua at this time, the little princess still had the childishness of baby fat on her face, but her eyes were cold, she held the sword in her backhand, without any hesitation, the sword blade picked up the sword that stabbed Wang Li's lower plate, and the red figure of Qian joined the increasingly fierce battle group.
The guards couldn't believe their eyes. - The good-natured princess Hehua, who everyone praised, directly snatched his sword to stop their actions?
Good sex? Gentle? Generous? No, she simply does not allow anyone's disobedience.
"Stop!" Stop!" The guard's heart trembled, and he immediately shouted back to the others, "Stop! Don't hurt the princess!"
Seeing Hehua stabbing in from the diagonal and hearing someone roar like this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly withdrew their swords and distanced themselves from Wang Li, who was protected by Hehua.
The distance was pulled away, but Hehua did not put down the sword in her hand, she slowly lifted the sword, and the sword pointed at everyone ,—— nodded at their faces, "You didn't hear me?"
"I just said - stop."
The voice of the eleven or twelve-year-old girl is crisp, and Hehua's voice is indeed the same, and the years of golden slave and jade maid days make her voice with a little arrogance when she speaks, full of the appearance of a little princess who is loved by thousands of people.
But this time, her voice was completely different from before, crisp and low, it became a threat of warm anger, and with the sword in her hand, they didn't have the slightest doubt that if they took half a step forward, that
The sword in the princess's hand could kill them in an instant.
Meng Yi, who walked down the steps, exchanged a look with the deputy general behind him. - The little princess at this time is not the princess Hehua who has a soft voice and makes people do things for her.
The guards looked at each other.
- No, how is this different from the rumored princess?
Who in the world doesn't know that Princess Hehua is an extremely good person, rarely angry, and rarely shouts and kills to the people at the bottom, why did she suddenly change her temper today, pointing at them with a sword in her hand?
The guards were confused.
This princess is not only good, but also a very low-level person who thinks about the upper position, serving as a servant and living in food and shelter and money, the factory is an eight-hour system, three shifts, and will never let the factory directors squeeze the workers in the factory, such a good reputation, even if her newly built automatic textile factory will cut off countless women from weaving and selling cloth, there are also a large number of Qiantou to apply for jobs in her factory, expecting to become a member of her workers.
To put it more bluntly, they had a blind trust in the princess, and they firmly believed that she was different from the nobles next to her, and she did not treat them as gray animals, but as their lives, so even if she built the controversial automatic textile factory, countless people came to help her factory.
And now, this princess, whom they respect and trust as a god, actually holds a sword in her hand, and the sword light is like a cold light, pointing in their direction?
Guards, you look at me, I look at you, and quickly deduce the reason why the princess drew her sword against each other—she was afraid that they would hurt Wang Li.
Looking at Wang Li again, the high-spirited young man hung one arm with a strip of cloth around his chest, and there was a faint red leaching out of the place where he was wrapped in layers of cloth, which was the color of blood, and the blood that flowed from the wound that burst after the action with them.
The guards looked slightly embarrassed.
In the bitter cold land of the border pass, once there is no longer a war, the promotion has become an ethereal legend, and you can only survive here year after year, and wait for the time limit to expire before you can return to the Central Plains.
"The princess is angry."
The guard who reacted put away his sword with his backhand and bowed to Hehua, "It's not that you have to take advantage of the danger of others, and you have to be embarrassed by the major general when you are injured, but the border is bitter and cold, and life is difficult, and the major general is the only way to be promoted that the humble position can come into——"
"The path to advancement?"
Wang Li laughed angrily, and directly interrupted the guard's words, "Do you not want to live to offend the princess for the sake of promotion?"
;
"So you take my words as a deaf ear?" Hehua interrupted the guard in a cold voice, "Aren't you afraid that if you offend me, you can only stay in the bitter cold land for the rest of your life?"
Wang Lihu fake tiger might, "That's it."
"If you offend the princess, not only will you stay in the northern frontier for a lifetime, but your children and grandchildren will stay in the northern frontier until they die of old age! Never turn over!"
In this way, the guards who thought about returning to the Central Plains were extremely lethal□□ and the soldiers' faces changed greatly, and they immediately returned the sword in their hands to the scabbard, "Princess, there is no such intention for a humble position!" Humble, lowly just—"
"What's the noise?" The voice of the adjutant came from the staircase of the castle tower.
The guards stiffened. - If the princess tells the story that they offended the princess and wanted to arrest Wang Li, they are afraid that they will not be able to eat and go around!
"Princess, please raise your noble hand." "You, you're not that kind of person." The guards lowered their voices and pleaded with Hehua.
Hehua raised his hand, his fingers loosened, and the sword he held in his palm fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"I am."
Hehua said coolly.
The hearts of the guards sank instantly.
They regretted it immensely, why should they risk offending the public
The risk of the main major general is also to arrest the major general, just to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible?
No, the more important reason is that the young general is informal, and the princess is kind and generous, so they will act unscrupulously, and then end up being liquidated by the princess.
The lieutenant general stepped forward and bowed to Hehua, "I've seen the princess." "They are disrespectful to me and do it with me." He Hua raised his eyes slightly, without any expression on his face, "Dare to ask the deputy general, what crime should they be guilty of?"
The lieutenant's face stiffened slightly. - Sure enough, the general guessed correctly, the princess will definitely not give up.
"Capital offense."
The adjutant general considered his mouth and made a move with the princess, which was very disrespectful, and he should be the head of the public display.
The guards were shocked, and the princess spared her life! Princess, spare your life, we don't dare anymore!
The guards fell to their knees, kowtowing and pleading.
However, Hehua didn't look at them, only nodded slightly, agreed to the lieutenant general's words, and executed. - She wants to assert her absolute authority, not even if she is angry,
Nor did anyone listen to her words.
The adjutant general's face changed slightly. The princess didn't have any affection at all, and now she wants to kill these people to sacrifice to the sky?
For no reason, he remembered the meaningful smile on General Meng's face when they parted just now, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and glanced deeply in the direction of the princess, Adjutant General, be careful.
At that time, he thought that the princess was offended, and no matter how good his temperament was, he would be angry when he encountered this kind of thing, so he would inevitably punish the guards and admonish them so that they would not dare to commit it again in the future.
But what she never expected was that the princess would not give General Meng any affection, no small punishment and no big commandment, only thunder means, so that these people who captured her in front of her completely disappeared from this world.
The adjutant opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He didn't dare to intercede, because his plea would only make the fate of these people worse.
The guards sat down on the ground with earthy faces.
From Xianyang to Northern Xinjiang, how many cities and how many passes are there along the way?
Judging from the behavior of the young general who was stopped and proudly revealed his identity, he and the princess came from city to city without leading the way.
There are so many cities and so many passes, and no one dares to stop the princess and the young general, because they clearly know the status of these two people in His Majesty's heart.
Breaking into the palace gate at night is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan on others, but when it appeared on the young general, His Majesty just demoted him to the house, so that the young general and the general became white, but the two generals are both generals who can fight well, and His Majesty is ambitious and constantly expanding the territory, they have no doubt that in time, the young general and the general will be able to return to the high-ranking officials.
But it is such a young general with a bright future, a princess who has high hopes for His Majesty, they actually think that they are all tolerant and generous people, and the people stationed here are General Meng, who is good friends with them, even if they offend them, they will capture the young general in exchange for their own green clouds.
- It's just stupid!
Who gave them the bear-hearted leopard gall? It is the kindness of the princess and the boldness of the major general. This is a very good quality, but it has become the culprit of their contempt for them.
The Guardians repented of their mistakes.
But it was too late, and after realizing that Hehua was not "kind" as rumored, the guards who followed the deputy general did not dare to take her anymore
As soon as her words fell, the guards stepped forward and dragged away all those who were working with Hehua.
Princess, princess, spare your life, princess!
The guards who were dragged away wept bitterly and turned to the crane over and over again
Hua begged for mercy.
But as if he couldn't hear, Hehua straightened his sleeves, passed through the struggling guards, and slowly walked into the city tower. Wang Li scratched his head.
Is it that serious?
Do these people have to be put to death? But Eleven is standing up for him, if he intercedes for these people in public, he will refute Eleven's face and live up to Eleven's protection of him.
There is no hurry.
Eleven just killed chickens and monkeys, didn't really want their lives, and when there were fewer people, he asked Hehua to spare the lives of these people, or hit twenty or thirty military sticks, or punish them to build straight roads, in short, let them avoid death, a long lesson.
Of course, it also teaches the world a long lesson. Eleven is not a person who others can despise and offend!
Wang Li glanced at the guards who were being dragged away by the guards, and raised his feet to catch up with Hehua's footsteps, "Eleven, you dissipate your anger." "It's not worth being angry with them, you don't have to be angry with your body."
"I know."
Hehua continued to walk forward.
Woo - but at this moment, a horn was suddenly blown, and the sound resounded through the sky, shaking people's eardrums with a faint pain.
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook the mountain, Wang Li's face changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to protect Hehua behind him.
His worries were obviously unnecessary, and the cavalry formation that had rolled up a large area of yellow sand stopped before it could reach Hehua, as if trying to prevent the yellow sand brought up by the horse's hooves from hitting Hehua's face, and they kept a distance from Hehua.
The cavalry array cracked like a wave, giving way to a wide road in front of Hehua.
A group of people came from the middle of the road, the cavalry on the far side held the flag, the scarlet banner fluttered in the fierce wind, and the middle group seemed to be holding something in their hands, but the distance was too far, and the yellow sand had not completely dissipated, and Hehua could not see what they were holding in their hands.
Closer, closer, Hehua finally saw what was in their hands—it was a red brocade carpet.
They rode horses, and the brocade carpet rolled in their hands went all the way forward, the speed was not fast, and it did not stir up new yellow sand, they came to Hehua step by step, and the brocade carpet was also spread to the feet of Hehua.
Woo –
The trumpet was sounded again.
Another group came from the brocade carpet.
The leader rode on a tall horse, covered with armor, his forehead was wiped between his eyebrows, and the cold wind stirred his scarlet cloak, and the thin sun pierced the clouds, casting layers of light on his shoulders.
>This is Meng Yi that Hehua has never seen before.
Different from the Yuanchun Yuezhi who he could afford when the sky fell in the past, at this time he was as sharp as a sword, his temperament was like a knife, and he came by stepping on the sun, shining like a god.
Hehua breathed slightly, and his pupils dilated.
!!!
The aristocratic young general, who was very well educated, cursed again, "Dogs are very good at things."
Meng Yi came slowly.
He was already born tall, and he was even more powerful when he rode on a sweaty and bloody horse, but when he came to Hehua, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee.
Knock on the princess.
Meng Yi's voice was clear
Greet the princess - After him, everyone turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Hehua.
The sound is deafening, but the movements are uniform.
There is no doubt that this is Meng Yi's descendant troops, and only the most elite descendants can do this kind of dismount and bow down without rehearsal.
Hehua's eyelids lifted slightly. ——Meng Yi greeted Emperor Ji of Great Qin and Princess Hehua with great courtesy.
This general, who is in and out of the picture, completely recognizes her at this moment. She is no longer a little princess who needs his blessing to be smooth, but the inheritance of her father, who is dictatorial and solves all problems
He who.
In the silence, only Hehua and Wang Li were still standing.
If you don't kneel, you have to kneel.
The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched slightly, he took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, his voice was lazy, and bowed to the princess.
Exempt.
Hehua raised his hands slightly.
Meng Yi got up and gave way sideways, Princess, please. Hehua was welcomed into the county guard's office.
The banquet has already been prepared in the house, and the banquet will start when Hehua arrives.
Hehua sat on the main seat, and the food was served like flowing water, but the first course served by the attendants was a plate of small snacks that did not fit in with the banquet.
Most of the military households in northern Xinjiang are five big and three coarse, they don't eat sweet and greasy snacks, and the snacks they make are far less delicate than those in Xianyang Palace, and they are not particular about the plating, only three or two are stacked together and put on the plate, and they are lightly presented by the attendants.
Hehua's heart moved, and he picked up a piece of caution.
The princess grew up.
she
As soon as he put the small snack in his mouth, he heard Meng Yi's voice sound, there were no outsiders in the flower hall, Meng Yi's tone of speech at this time was a little less official than just now, with joy and relief, he slowly opened his mouth, Very good, the minister can finally rest assured.
Hehua's movements paused slightly.
The dim sum melts in her mouth, but the taste is not as good as Xianyang Palace, there is too much sugar, Ju Tian Ju is sweet, and she is a little choked in her mouth, she slowly finished eating the dim sum in her mouth, took the handkerchief handed by the attendant and wiped her hands, I came here this time to reassure you.
Meng Yi, you see, I have grown up.
Hehua wiped his hands and said, "The little princess who asked you to always be careful not to eat more snacks has grown up."
Those things seemed to be the things of the previous life, and the scenes played out in her mind. Father is always busy, Zhang Han is too boring, and Wang Li in her childhood was always noisy with her, so she always likes to stick to Meng Yi and stay away
Fly on him, pestering him, and making him do this and that for himself.
Twelve years of companionship made her habitually dependent on Meng Yi and regarded him as her retreat. But a qualified emperor should not have a way out, so she must break away, separated from Meng Yi for thousands of miles, and there is no way to come.
But is she really strong and growing up with such a ruthless desire to abandon her past years?
No, it's not.
True strength is inner strength, and it is to take it lightly, not hysterically.
And her growth is not about abandoning and losing, but after going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, she never forgets her original intention, looking back at the road, she has grown into the appearance she likes and admires the most, instead of being unrecognizable, constantly compromising, and becoming herself not like herself.
So you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about me anymore.
Hehua raised his eyebrows and looked directly into Meng Yi's eyes, "But Meng Yi, my growth is different from yours, not fear and loss, but the rules of this world should be defined by me.
Meng Yi's eyes moved slightly, and a smile spread from the bottom of his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth were stained in an instant.
"What is Father's pride, what is the kind princess, and what is the Eleven you are looking forward to?"
Hehua looked at his laughter, his voice paused, and he laughed softly, "I won't let these rules and regulations bind me again, because these rules and regulations should be formulated by me.
>
And she will be like her father - the world is chess, and she can play the sky with one hand.
