The capital is 500 miles away in the northwest direction, and Muyang County is more than 100 miles away due north, just a little detour, not far.

Luo Chong agreed so happily, it was really beyond Meng Danzhong's expectations, I thought that I still needed to have a good meal of bewitchment by myself, what saved the princess and made a great contribution, the emperor would definitely reward him or something...... Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything, he just responded.

Seeing that he is not very old, at most in his early twenties, it is estimated that he is young and vigorous, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, eager to make meritorious contributions, eager to show Xiàn, will it be like this?

No matter what he thought, he finally met such a person who was willing to help, Meng Danzhong was of course ecstatic, feeling that even if the five hundred cavalry led by Luo Chong could not be all elites, it would be worth three or four thousand infantry.

Normally, five hundred cavalry should not be a problem to defeat three or four thousand infantry, whether it is a frontal charge or a cavalry guerrilla. Unless the cavalry commander himself is stupid and falls into a series of traps that the other party has set up a long time ago.

"A few of your horses are dying, change ours. ”

Luo Chong didn't even ask more, and let Meng Danzhong and the others change horses, so he led the team to set off and diverted to Muyang.

Five hundred men, a thousand horses, it is impossible to run too fast on the official road, after all, this belongs to a uniform march, not a full-speed charge on the battlefield. Meng Danzhong and Luo Chong went hand in hand, so they had the opportunity to communicate further.

A year ago, Empress Yu died of illness, although the emperor has countless harems, but there has been no more empress, because the two of them have gone from their teens to the present, and the deep affection of more than 20 years is indeed difficult for other concubines to surpass with their beauty alone.

Princess Yongning is the first child of the emperor and Empress Yu, that is, the eldest princess of the generation of the Great Jin Dynasty, who is twenty years old this year, but has not married yet.

Princess Yongning inherited the dignified wisdom of Empress Yu, and the court had an excellent reputation, and the emperor was also quite fond of this eldest daughter a few years ago.

But later, the emperor arranged marriage for her three times, but she resisted with the most resolute attitude, and simply reached the unyielding Cheng dù, coupled with the maintenance of Empress Yu, the emperor also had no way to take her, but he still disliked her, and felt that this daughter was too disobedient, and he didn't care about her father's face at all: the eldest princess is twenty years old and has not yet married, what will the ministers of the court think, and what will the people say?

Because of this, this time Princess Yongning was trapped in Muyang, and there were obviously 100,000 defenders in the capital, and the emperor couldn't even send a few thousand.

Of course, dislike for my daughter is not the main reason, and no matter what, it is impossible to hope for her death. The key is that the emperor himself is too afraid of death: at this moment, everyone must stay in the capital to protect me, the more the better, one more is not too much, and no one less can be less!

"The reason why the eldest princess ran to Muyang was to mourn her mother and to find her mother's childhood footprints in her hometown, in fact, it was just to escape His Majesty's fourth marriage. ”

Meng Danzhong said slowly: "Your Majesty is angry and unwilling to send troops to rescue, but as a father, he still sent a few of us out, looking for assistance halfway, and sending the eldest princess back to the capital...... Basically, that's the process. ”

"Why doesn't the eldest princess want to get married?"

Luo Chong asked this on his lips, but said in his heart: This princess doesn't dislike men, but is a lala?

"Maybe the princess has too high a vision and can't look down on those gentlemen of the princes and nobles, because the princess herself is a great talent...... That's what I thought. ”

Meng Danzhong lowered his voice, not wanting to be heard by others: "It's a pity that the princess is a daughter, otherwise, she must be the best candidate for the crown prince today." ”

Oh, a very thoughtful strong woman.

Luo Chong nodded, and said in his heart: However, it is useless, the Jin Dynasty is exhausted, and it is not something that can be reversed by a generation of Ming Jun. If an enlightened monarch becomes the king of a dead country, it can only be said that it is even more tragic.

There is no need to be verbose if you are redundant, I slept in the wilderness at night, and arrived at Muyang the next morning, and I did not encounter the cavalry team of Qingyuan Country on the way.

But Luo Chong knew only by intuition that the next part of the road to escort the princess back to the capital would not be so easy, and it was inevitable to encounter the Qingyuan cavalry, and it was even possible, and there were quite a few of them.

There's no need for super-visual scouting, just intuition is enough.

Muyang is a first-class county, because it is the hometown of the queen, it has received a lot of care in all aspects for more than ten years, and it has developed no less than any city government, but it is still a county in name.

Five hundred rangers came to the city, and there were too many horses to enter the city. Luo Chong only brought a dozen guards and entered the county seat with Meng Danzhong and a few of their royal forest troops.

A few years ago, Muyang County was classified as the fief of the eldest princess, of course, it was the meaning of Queen Yu, and it was also the main reason why Muyang was not upgraded to the city government.

The princess's fief can only be a county, this is the rule. The so-called fief must have allowed the princess to move to that county seat to settle down, but the taxes in this county could be directly transferred to the princess's name and turned into her pocket money.

Empress Yu gave her hometown, which is also the richest county, to Yongning, which shows that the late queen really loves this eldest daughter.

As a fief, there must have been a special princess mansion in the county seat, although she may not come to live once in ten or eight years.

After entering the princess's mansion, Meng Danzhong, as a royal forest soldier, could go straight to the inner courtyard, but Luo Chong had to wait in the hall where he entered the courtyard first.

didn't wait long, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been prepared for a long time, walked out surrounded by several palace maids, two old mothers, and a team of guards.

When she came to Muyang, she only brought a dozen guards, this place is not too far from the capital, there is no banditry, and it is enough in normal times, but this little manpower wants to walk more than 300 miles under the cloud of the Qingyuan cavalry, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

If the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty falls into the hands of the Qingyuan monarch, the consequences are not difficult to imagine.

However, it seems that our eldest princess is still quite calm, although her face is veiled and she can't see her facial expressions, there is no tension and panic in the phoenix eyes that are slightly raised at the corners of her eyes.

Her appearance must be very beautiful, generally speaking, a dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years, the appearance of the prince and the princess has been optimized for more than ten generations, and if you want to look ugly, you have to destroy yourself in the mother's womb.

Think about it, it's okay if the first generation of founding emperors looks ugly, and the emperor's wives can't stand up to being beautiful, after the improvement of the mother's genes, the second generation of the royal family will definitely become much better-looking, and then the third and fourth generations will continue to be optimized......

"Ranger General Luo Dong, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Luo Chong's face was solemn, but he just gave a straight military salute, and the reason was very strong: with armor on his body, he couldn't bend his waist, especially in this extraordinary period.

In order not to be polite, he directly put on a plate armor like a tin can before he came, not a chain mail or scale armor, but this set of plate armor has been modified and improved by Luo Chong, but it is also majestic and domineering, quite stylish, and very magical.

This is not a violation at all, many of the generals' armor is hereditary, and a set of high-quality armor is expensive, much more expensive than the same weight of gold. Father to father, father to son, but each generation will modify or decorate it according to their own preferences, and gradually it will become varied and quite gorgeous.

"General Luo, thank you for your help. ”

Princess Yongning's good-looking phoenix eyes stared at Luo Chong, and said slowly: "You should know, I have heard Meng Danzhong say, it is difficult for you, and you have to take the risk to escort me." ”

No other local army dared to come, but he, with five hundred cavalry, came without saying a word.

Princess Yongning knows much more about the corruption of officialdom and the weakness of the army than the emperor today, but as a woman, she has changed it quite a bit, but she is powerless.

But it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand the difference of this General Luo, why does he dare to do what others dare to do?

"General Luo, actually, I have heard of your name for a long time. ”

At this moment, Princess Yongning was not in a hurry to get on the road, and even had the heart to chat: "The hundred people in the Battle of Hongyu and the chaos in Guangling Mansion have been promoted from the most ordinary soldier to a four-rank general in just half a year, and there is a ranger general who has not appeared for many years...... Am I right?"

"His Royal Highness actually knows about Weichen's matter, which is an honor for Weichen. ”

Luo Chong arched his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, with my five hundred iron horses, I will definitely be able to escort you back to the capital safely." ”

"I'm not worried, after all, this is still in the land of our Great Jin. ”

Under the veil, Princess Yongning smiled slightly: "Even if I die, I have nothing to regret." ”

Although he was laughing, there was sadness in his tone, and he was driven straight into by the foreign cavalry again and again, as if he was in a no-man's land, coming and going freely.

"Your Highness, don't talk about these dead and alive, you will definitely be fine. ”

A personal palace maid beside her hurriedly said this, anyway, it was their consistent line.

"Fortunately, there are talents in the Jiangshan generation, and there is no Mu Hanshan, and there is a young man like General Luo. ”

Princess Yongning's tone was still so calm, but the gaze that looked at Luo Chong added some appreciation and encouragement, although it was possible that she did it on purpose.

Can he compare to Mu Hanshan?

Meng Danzhong and the others next to him felt that Her Royal Highness the princess was really praising him too much, and it was true to say that this Luo Dong was young and promising, but if he could become a peerless god of war like Mu Hanshan, it was too early to say.

Mu Hanshan was born in a famous family, and he was brought out by the generals of the previous generation, and he had a good foundation that was better than the blue;

Luo Chong was muttering: The princess sister has good eyesight, Mu Hanshan is independent, I am not a thing than him, tear apart the Jin Dynasty, and step on your father without blinking.

However, Luo Chong didn't plan to talk to his sister about this kind of thing, so he said: "Has Your Highness's carriage been prepared? Time is pressing, and there is a possibility of encountering enemy troops on the road at any time, and the more you delay, the greater the danger." ”

This kind of words, the princess is not afraid, but the entourage around her is terribly afraid, so she hurriedly gathered around and persuaded the princess: Your Highness, don't talk about it, we will talk about it later, now it's safety first, hurry home!
