Chapter 2 second quarter

The imperial capital faces south, three hundred and eighty miles away, Xiongguan rises to meet the sky. Bai Yi and Xi Yan walked side by side, while Bai Qiulian and Mo Xue's two steeds walked slowly, their manes fluttering in the wind.Xi Yan was holding the ebony tobacco rod that was rarely separated from his body, lazily pressing the hilt of the sword, and the scabbard of the ancient sword knocked on the saddle with a "dangling" sound.And Bai Yi sat upright on the horse, his figure was as lean as a spear, he frowned slightly, and looked around. What they are doing is the military path in Shangyang Pass. This city pass has not had any residents since it was built, so all the facilities are used for military purposes.The straight and vertical stone-built military roads divide the entire city gate into small squares, each of which is a barracks. Once the bells are lit and the bells roar, all the soldiers stationed in the city can quickly gather to defend the city.

At this time, two days had passed since the tragic battle, but the whole city gate was still filled with a strong smell of fireworks, traces of thick smoke and blackness were everywhere, and unburned firewood could be seen everywhere on the road.Bai Yi relied on throwing 300,000 catties of burning firewood into the city gate, forcing Ying Wuyi to leave the city for a bloody battle in a hurry. "The design of this city gate is exactly the same as the detailed map hidden in my home." Bai Yi sighed softly, "I don't know what kind of genius designed it at the beginning, and how much hard work it took. This pass was only built. Emperor Qiangwei really exhausted all his efforts to guard the gate of the imperial capital for his descendants. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will never fall."

"But it was still conquered by you, and it was nothing more than poisoning and fire attacking, so Ying Wuyi had to go out of the city to fight." Xi Yan glanced at Bai Yi and smiled casually, "You praise this city now. The city will never fall, are you taking this opportunity to praise your military strategy as unprecedented?" Bai Yi wasn't angry, nor did he smile, and had no expression on his face: "Ying Wuyi was also eager to fight me, right? That's why he left the city. Besides, if it wasn't for the time to return home, he would have retreated and defended himself. We may have to pay a higher price. I am not so proud that I think that I have conquered this pass with mere skill."

Xi Yan smiled without saying a word, and patted Mo Xue on the neck, and Mo Xue started to trot.Bai Yi's war horse, Bai Qiulian, trotted along with him. The two steeds, like old friends, let go of the vigilance and might of their war horses, and ran with their hooves flying and their manes dancing, like two little horses chasing each other on the grassland. Like a pony.Bai Yi frowned even tighter, but he didn't restrain Bai Qiulian.Xi Yan ran in high spirits, his body undulating naturally with the horse's steps, holding the cigarette stick between his fingers, breathing the oncoming wind and laughing loudly.

After running for a while, Xi Yan pulled the reins abruptly, and Mo Xue stopped with a long hiss.Xi Yan turned his head to look back from the way he came, and Bai Yi also stopped his horse and met his eyes.Bai Yi was slightly taken aback. At this glance, he suddenly felt that he saw the Jinwu Guard in front of the Taiqing Palace more than ten years ago again, with a lazy face, a self-deprecating face, and an unconvinced face. "What do you have to say?" Bai Yi asked. "Do you remember that the two of us walked this road, that was when we were still serving as Jinwu guards in the imperial capital." Xi Yan stroked the short beard on his chin, "At that time our official position was low, Feng Yulin General Cheng Duxue I was sent to Shangyang Guan Gong to do business. The first thing I did when I entered the city was to memorize a few strict orders. I remember one of them was not to run a horse unless it was a letter. If someone was caught running a horse on the street, It is to beat the army stick five times. I remember that we were led to the barracks on this road, trembling all the way, holding the reins tightly, for fear that the horse would run away and violate the military rules."

He suddenly smiled: "Now in Shangyang Pass, if I run to the end, who can stop me?" Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, bowed his head in silence for a while, and then showed a little smile: "Actually, I also remember this. At that time, we Jinwu Guards from the imperial capital were regarded as a bunch of rich dudes. I was looked down upon by the guards on duty. There is also a prohibition saying that unless someone guides the way, you are not allowed to leave the barracks and look around without permission. Violation of the order is spying on the military situation, and you can be pushed out and beheaded. I later became an official of Chuwei, so I never had a chance to come to Shang Yangguan, before leaving this time, I regretted that I didn’t violate the military regulations and took the opportunity to see the structure and layout of this city gate. I only relied on a map to determine the strategy. One thing is finally let go."

Xi Yan had a look of contempt, and snorted lowly in his nostrils: "The higher your title these years, the more imposing you are, and you are getting more and more boring. It's the same thing. In the past, now you take your horse for a run, looking high-spirited for fun, but you look bitter and bitter, and everything has to be related to your military affairs, making it difficult to talk to you." He waved his cigarette stick and pointed at Bai Yi's face from a distance: "A person like you is born to be a famous general, and you can't do anything else. If the world is stable, you can't stretch your ambitions, and you have to go to the mountains to dig a hole yourself. Buried."

"Ambition?" Bai Yi smiled lightly, "How can I have any ambitions? I am just a cart horse, because of the whip behind me, I have to move forward step by step. I can't compare with you, General Xi, You have the aura of lofty aspirations, but back then we were so soft-spoken, even a small guard dared to order you not to run. I guessed that you couldn't swallow this breath in your heart. More than ten years have passed, and you are already the Earl's You still have to show your identity. You said that you walked this road with trepidation back then, but I didn’t believe it, I only heard that you were full of disbelief back then.”

Xi Yan seemed to be choked by his words, a little resentful, he could only bow his head and hold his cigarette in silence. The two walked together for a while, Xi Yan suddenly took off the cigarette stick from the corner of his mouth, and lit the tip of Bai Yi's nose: "Your habit of criticizing others has not been changed for many years. It is no wonder that I have always been arrogant and arrogant. I can't bear you!" Bai Yi didn't expect this answer, and couldn't help laughing: "Even if I'm arrogant, you don't know the problem of your own heart being higher than the sky? Who in the world can stop your horse and stop your horse?" What to do? Not to mention a general protector, even the emperor, you may not pay attention to it. You were drunk and said that you have three hatreds in this life, and wished that you would be born in the Qiangwei Emperor's dynasty. In Emperor Yan’s dynasty, the barbarians could be defeated in the north, but if they were not born in Ningzhou in the north, they could see thousands of beauties raising their wings against the wind, and their clothes were as white as snow. Have you forgotten what you said back then? Am I arrogant? Arrogant, if I say that your faults are all unpleasant?"

Xi Yan spread his hands, and glanced at him: "I am unscrupulous, but I am against you, and General Bai is Zhong Zhengping and hardworking?" Bai Yi's smile suddenly froze on his face, becoming a little weird.He thought for a while, then turned to look at Xi Yan: "No, although you and I have many differences, if you say that in my heart, I am as unscrupulous as you. There is nothing I want to do in the world. People can stop!" When Xi Yan heard this, his expression shook slightly.He was meant to be joking, but at this time he felt heavy for no reason, and led the horse for a few more steps. He whispered: "You are a self-aware person, but what you just said, you are such a rampant People who are not jealous, why do they become people's cart horses?"

"Too much concern." Bai Yi seemed to have anticipated this problem, and smiled to himself, "Xiyan, the world is big, after all, it's not what we think, it's not a flat river for you and me to run. The quilt is put on the harness, the god horse I can only become a draft horse. Although I also know that taking off the harness may lead to a brighter future, but I am no longer in the same state of mind as before, after all, I am not a person who looks at the world." "What is your harness?" Xi Yan suddenly grabbed Mo Xue, turned to look directly at Bai Yi, and paused every word. "You asked this question before, but I didn't answer it. Now you ask it, but I still can't answer it." Bai Yi still smiled, "But your luck is not to be put on this harness, and your misfortune is also here." Xi Yan was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Going around, I still can't figure it out. After so many years, from friends to rivals, I still don't know what you think." Bai Yi didn't answer, rode his horse and walked away with a smile. Several sergeants in brown military uniforms passed by the side of the road carrying rattan stretchers, which were the military uniforms of the Chu Wei Army's mountain formation gun armor.They saw two war horses approaching and knew their identities clearly, so they carefully put the stretcher against the wall and put it on the side of the road, lined up with their chests upright, without looking sideways. Bai Yi also held his right shoulder armor with his left hand and gave a military salute, and the sergeants responded with the same military salute.This set of military salutes originated from the era when Emperor Qiangwei created the mountain formation, and it was unique to the soldiers of the mountain formation in the Eastern Continent. Bai Yi had already passed by with his horse, but he reined in the horse and stopped suddenly, turned around and asked the soldiers, "Where is the stretcher going?" Shocked by his majesty, the sergeants visibly became uneasy. Several sergeants stepped forward to cover the stretcher with their bodies, and the leader, Shi Chang, took two steps forward.He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "General Hui, he is a brother who died in battle. He sent him to be buried outside the city." Bai Yi looked at him coldly: "I know it's a brother who died in battle, and I know it was sent outside the city, but is it really buried?" Shi Chang was quite surprised, and when he looked up, Bai Yi's gaze forced him to lower his head again, not daring to answer. "Send it outside the city and throw it away?" Bai Yi asked in a low voice. Shilong's lips twitched a few times, and suddenly knelt down.Seeing Shi Chang kneeling, the rest of the sergeants also knelt down. Shichang showed a slightly sad expression, and kowtowed: "Back to the general, I dare not hide it, I really sent it out of the city to be buried. But it was not the order of the battalion chief, it was our brothers who were all enlisted in the same country, and I couldn't bear it." , went out of the camp privately, and wanted to sneak out of the city to help him find a leeward place to bury him. Otherwise, he would be eaten by wild animals if he was thrown outside, and we would have no face to ask his parents when he returned home.” Bai Yi nodded slightly: "Then it is true that the brothers who died in battle were all thrown outside the city, and no one collected the corpses, right?" "Yes." Shi Chang replied, "There are too many casualties. Now half of the battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and there is no way to bury them. The brothers who died in battle have not been taken care of, and the wounded brothers in the battalion are constantly being unable to support them." Wait, I heard that the medicines and doctors prepared this time are not enough, and many brothers closed their eyes before the doctor could take a look at them." He respectfully kowtowed again: "Brothers went out of the camp privately, General please punish." Bai Yi's lips were tight, and it took a while before he shouted in a low voice: "Go out of the camp privately, do not follow the military order, and you will be punished with five sticks. You will come to the Chinese Army's personal barracks to receive your punishment after dark. But since you have told the truth, you must You go out of town and bury him." "The kindness and punishment of the general, I have received, thank you, the general." Shi Chang kowtowed again. The sergeants carried the stretcher and walked a few steps, when Bai Yi suddenly stopped them again: "Are you from Chuwei's hometown?" "Yes." Shi Chang replied, "We are all from Chuwei's hometown, from Liuyuan City." "I heard that Chu Wei's hometown has a custom of burial in his hometown. When he is like dirt, his feet should face the direction of his hometown. In this way, when his soul sits up, he can see the direction of his hometown at a glance, and he can find the way back home. Go back and have a look." Bai Yi said in a low voice, "So when you are buried, remember to face south." After saying this, he turned his horse's head and left, and the soldiers kowtowed to his back. Xi Yan sighed lowly, and led the horse to catch up with the slow-moving Bai Yi: "You seem to be old and talkative, and you will tell others such things... But this battle, you can't go back to your hometown There are really too many people..." "It's not a big deal once the generals are successful. Those who go into battle must be prepared to be shrouded in horse leather. Those who lead the army must not be soft-hearted." Bai Yi said in a low voice, "But for all people, there is no People can escape grief, after all, they are watching a living person fall with their own eyes. There are still family members in their hometown, but they can never go back. The battlefield is not a chessboard after all.” "Have the results of the casualties come out? I have already sealed the number of casualties in my Tang camp and sent someone to your account." Bai Yi nodded: "It's worse than expected. With 100,000 horses, 36,000 people died in battle, and 19,000 people were seriously injured. The remaining soldiers who can be used as a source of troops are only Forty-five thousand people are less than 45,000 people, including those who were slightly injured. There are 36,000 people outside the city who have not been buried, and people in the city are still dying. Even if we send all the people out to bury the dead It can’t be done in a day or two. Besides, we don’t have enough tools.” "Let them be exposed to the sun and rain?" "I'm thinking about it, but what's more important is that we lack medicine. If we can't get supplies as soon as possible, the number of deaths will increase." Bai Yi's voice was low. "I'm afraid it won't be enough to mobilize medicines from your country and our country. The fastest way now is to get support from the imperial capital. Please lead the troops into Tianqi to pay homage to the emperor. Did you send it?" "It was sent out the day before yesterday, and the Kuaima Jibao should have arrived yesterday," Bai Yi was silent for a moment, "but there has been no reply yet." Xi Yan nodded, he understood the meaning of Bai Yi's silence.The petition presented by the courtiers is another important matter such as asking for instructions to lead troops into the imperial capital. It seems unrealistic to expect immediate permission.However, in the process of waiting, I am afraid that someone will die every moment. A black horse came galloping from behind at a high speed, and a soldier in black rolled off the saddle in front of Bai Yi, half kneeling down: "General, we have captured Ye Zhengshu, the charioteer guard stationed at Shangyang Pass!" "Ye Zhengshu?" Xi Yan was slightly surprised.He had heard the name before. Ye Zhengshu, the chariot guard of the Yulin Heavenly Army, was a courtier of the imperial family, and was ordered to lead six thousand well-equipped cavalry to guard Shangyang Pass.However, after Ying Wuyi crossed the natural barrier and took the imperial capital directly, Ye Zhengshu's 6,000 troops had no time to come back to help, let alone contend with Ying Wuyi's Red Brigade Thunder Riders.Soon he was removed from power, and Ying Wuyi ordered Emperor Xi to withdraw the 6,000 Feather Forest Heavenly Army in Shangyang Pass and replace them with red brigade guards. At this time, Ye Zhengshu was a general without soldiers, and no one cared about him. Dead or alive.Xi Yan did not expect that such a person could be captured from the city after the city of Shangyangguan was broken. He glanced at Bai Yi, but saw Bai Yi's gloomy eyes suddenly light up. "Bring him here!" Bai Yi ordered. The grey-haired, disheveled old man was quickly brought to Bai Yi's horse, with his head bowed, his clothes ragged, and his body exuding a disgusting stench, as if he had been captured from some filthy place.Although no rope was given, Chu Wei's sergeant did not treat Ye Zhengshu preferentially. He kicked him behind the crook of the leg and forced him to kneel in front of Bai Yi's horse.Bai Yi raised his hand slightly, stopping any further movements of the soldiers. "Is it Mr. Ye Zhengshu, the commander of the chariot and rider?" Bai Yi was expressionless. He usually didn't look at Ye Zhengshu in front of him. "See General Bai, the sinner Ye Zhengshu." The old man was like a terrified child who knew he had made a mistake, he didn't dare to raise his head, and his answering voice was only hidden deep in his throat. Bai Yi nodded slightly: "Master Ye called himself a sinner, so it means that Master Ye knew that there was something wrong with what he did, so Lord Ye should also be able to forgive Bai Yi for not seeing Lord Ye as a courtier of the royal family. Let Master Ye kneel here like a prisoner." "Ye Zhengshu knew that his crime was unforgivable, and he no longer regarded himself as a courtier of the royal family." The old man kowtowed. "Forget it, Lord Ye doesn't have to bow down to me, you just need to apologize to the royal family." Bai Yi said, "Master Ye is a courtier of the royal family, and was entrusted by the royal family with the important task of guarding Shangyang Pass. But when Ying Wuyi invaded the imperial capital, Lord Ye's subordinates The soldiers and horses were in order, but they didn't raise troops to serve the king. Instead, they missed the opportunity and waited until Ying Wuyi's red army thunder cavalry approached the city from both sides before surrendering with their swords. As a soldier, this is one of the greatest shames. And Lord Ye What's more wrong is that he knew that Ying Wuyi threatened His Majesty to withdraw the defenders here, and it was not His Majesty's own will, but he obeyed without resistance. Not only that, all the troops and horses under Ye Daren's banner were withdrawn, but Ye Daren did not return The imperial capital was reinstated, but still stayed in Shangyang Pass. Before I raised my army, I heard that Master Ye has also received kind treatment from Ying Wuyi these years, and has been working hard for the red brigade stationed at Shangyang Pass, is that true?" "Ye Zhengshu knows that it is an unforgivable crime for him to go out of the city and surrender. If he returns to the imperial capital, even if His Majesty does not surrender, the eyes of the world will be murderous. So he would rather hide in Shangyang Pass than go back, and be a habitual watcher for Ying Wuyi. A petty official with horses and food, just waiting to die." The old man kowtowed tremblingly, "I joined the army because of the reputation of my ancestors. Yang Guan has several years of experience, and asked me to take care of the chores of horse grass and horse manure. How can a person like me get into the eyes of an overlord like Li Gong?" It was the first time Xi Yan saw Ye Zhengshu, and he didn't expect him to be such a bad old man like a handyman, but he answered frankly, he was a well-read person, and vaguely revealed the self-pity and helplessness in his heart, Can't help but sigh with emotion.He looked at Bai Yi, wanting to intercede for Ye Zhengshu. Bai Yi knew what his friend meant, so he just waved his hand: "Master Ye, I am not as old as you, so I shouldn't blame you like this. I also know that you are not a warrior, but because you were born in the branch of the Ye family in Yunzhong , can be regarded as a descendant of a famous general, and was conscripted by the royal family to join the army. Letting you deal with Ying Wuyi's Red Army Thunder Cavalry, even if you are given an army of 60,000, it is just a dead end. But all living beings in the world are really afraid of one death, so you can Submissive, servile? You are afraid of the eyes of the world killing people, and you have a sense of shame, but for this reason, you hide your name and hide in the Ying Wuyi army to survive, it is really not what a man should do. " Ye Zhengshu didn't dare to raise his head, so he lay there and replied in a low voice: "Ye Zhengshu himself knows what General Bai said. Ye Zhengshu doesn't have the intelligence and courage of General Bai. He insults the emperor's life but doesn't have the courage to kill himself. He is just a Just a villain who provokes resentment and ridicule." Bai Yi was startled for a moment, Ye Zhengshu spoke calmly, but sincerely, which made him unable to express his contempt.He looked at the old man lying in front of his horse, his messy white hair fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help sighing slightly: "You can be regarded as the blood of the Ye family in the cloud! Without the blood and strength of our ancestors." "If you weren't a descendant of a famous general family, maybe you could live better?" Ye Zhengshu said calmly. Bai Yi was silent for a while, frowning slightly, he knew what Ye Zhengshu meant, but he didn't like such a decadent person.He waved his hand, trying to order the soldiers to take Ye Zhengshu down, but his hand suddenly stopped in the air. "Ye Zhengshu, then you said that you are still managing the chores of the Legion in Shangyang Pass?" Bai Yi's voice suddenly became severe. "Yes, take care of things such as the accumulation of horse straw and the maintenance of cannons and crossbows, and manage a bunch of handymen." "Then, do you know that Her Royal Highness the princess of our country was robbed by Ying Wuyi?" "The sinner knows. At that time, Duke Li stationed the mission of Her Highness the Princess in the barracks, and said that there was no one to take care of him, so he let my daughter go there." Ye Zhengshu lowered his voice, "Now that the city is broken, I don't know about my daughter. Is she still alive... If she knows that her father has been hiding in the stable like a dog for two days and dare not go to her, will she look down on me?" Xi Yan immediately stood on the side, clearly seeing a cloudy tear slipping down Ye Zhengshu's face.The old man didn't seem to want to be seen crying, so he bent down and put his face on the ground.Xi Yan sighed, but it was inconvenient to reveal anything in front of the Chu guards, and looked up at the pale sky. Bai Yi couldn't care about the old man's daughter at all. He changed his usual indifference and became eager: "Which camp is your daughter serving the princess?" Xi Yan's face became slightly ugly. "Northern Fourth Camp." Ye Zhengshu whispered. Hearing this, Bai Yi raised his eyebrows suddenly, and rode his horse to leave.Just now Bai Qiulian hissed and wanted to let go and run, but Bai Yi found that Xi Yan beside him was like a wooden man and wooden horse, motionless, with a weird smile on his face.He froze for a moment, tightened the reins, and looked back at Xi Yan: "Aren't you coming with me?" Xi Yan's smile became a bit bitter, and he spread his hands: "I haven't had time to tell you, before we came out to patrol the city, I got information that I found a clue to the princess in the Fourth North Battalion." Bai Yi was shocked and stared at Xi Yan. "So I sent my nephew at that time, and I asked Prince Qingyang of Beilu to lead fifty fast horses to pick him up." Xi Yan smiled to himself, "But there was no delay at all." "You!" Bai Yi waved the whip in his hand, pointed at Xi Yan's nose, his eyes were filled with anger, "You won't tell me?" "This is the proton of our country." Xi Yan shrugged slightly, "It's like your daughters are all married to my family. Of course, the husband's family should take care of them. No matter how anxious you are as a father, I will still be your father-in-law. It should take the lead." Bai Yi's face was livid, he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word, he could only stare at Xi Yan, as if he wanted to see a hole in this rascal old friend.Xi Yan was calm, as if he hadn't noticed his anger at all, turned his head with his cigarette stick in his mouth, and looked up at the sky. Headed by Xiyuan, the cavalry galloped around the corner.They came in a hurry, and the wind caused a burst of ash to fly in the street. The half of the team behind had to cover their faces with their arms to avoid choking and blinding their eyes.Lu Guichen followed Xiyuan with his horse, not knowing where he was going.He only knew that this was a very secret mission. He hadn't dispatched it at first, but he was taking care of Ji Ye who couldn't afford to be seriously injured at the garrison of the supply camp. He set off, but didn't say where he was going.At the time of departure, Xiyuan ordered the fifty fine cavalry transferred from the personal barracks to remove the golden chrysanthemum military emblem on their shoulders, and they did not carry the black banner of Xiyan like they did in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, this cavalry team is just It's just a team of well-equipped Xiatang warriors. Along the way, he encountered small groups of military horses from other countries several times in a row, but Xiyuan did not stop the horse as usual, but led the horse through with his face covered, leaving others in the flying dust.This is extremely unusual, Xi Yuan is the only known relative of Xi Yan, and he is known to the military forces of various countries despite his young age. Everyone thinks that he will inherit his uncle's position, and they all call him "Lieutenant General".Therefore, every time Xiyuan met with the leading figures of other countries, he had to put on some pomp and ceremony and exchange greetings, unlike the usual hangout with Jiye Lu Guichen. Lu Guichen glanced at Xiyuan's muscular cheeks, and couldn't help but also grasped the handle of Yingyue's knife at his waist.Two days after Shangyang pass was broken, the armies erupted in a burst of jubilation only when Su Yuanlang fell from the city wall and landed heavily on the city wall. After entering the city, the generals did not celebrate, and the soldiers did not relax. The coalition forces fighting side by side were again divided into the divided camps of various countries, reorganized their ordnance supplies, and treated a large number of wounded, without much contact with each other.There is a faint gap in the busy calm.Suddenly dispatched at this time, Lu Guichen's heart was full of speculations, he was no longer the kid playing the flute sitting among the yellow flowers on the grassland, and he also understood the incompatibility between countries. The cavalry turned into an empty camp that had not yet been activated, and had just passed a row of stone pillars where horses were tied, when Lu Guichen suddenly heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed.He reacted immediately, yanked the reins to stop the horse, and looked around with the knife.In the seemingly empty camp, a group of black-clothed infantry suddenly appeared. They were Xiatang military uniforms. There were about a hundred of them. The cavalrymen of the personal battalion each held their sabers and lined up to fight against the infantry. They were comrades-in-arms. When they met at this time, they all looked at each other with hostility. Xiyuan sized up the centurion: "You don't know me?" "Where do you come from?" The centurion also looked at Xiyuan. Xiyuan nodded slightly: "Is it the letter from you?" He slowly pulled out his epee, the sword was only half a foot out of the sheath, a golden print near the hilt flashed, and Xi Yuan quickly pushed the sword back into the sheath. "Do you know my name?" Xi Yuan whispered. He was influenced by his uncle day and night, and his actions were calm and refined, and he already had the dignity and momentum to control his subordinates. The centurion froze for a moment, took a step forward, and knelt down: "Young general!" The sword in Xiyuan was a gift from Lord Baili Jinghong of the Lower Tang Dynasty.Baili Jinghong bestowed Xiyuan with a famous sword on his sixteenth birthday. On the sword was carved a chrysanthemum gold talisman for mobilizing troops and horses in the Tang Dynasty. The courtiers discussed privately. Ze and his nephew had a premonition of Baili Jinghong's urgency to win over the youth.Therefore, there are speculations in the court that the government of the Tang Dynasty, which has always placed more emphasis on business than military affairs, may undergo drastic changes in order to cope with the increasingly chaotic current situation in the Eastern Land.Xiyuan also became famous because of this. Although the golden chrysanthemum talisman on the sword does not have the power to mobilize soldiers and horses like a real soldier talisman, it is his own mark. "Deqiu, the centurion of the Qianfeng Battalion?" Xiyuan asked. "The subordinate is Deqiu!" "Take me there." Xiyuan jumped off his horse and said in a low voice.He turned around and gestured, motioning for Lu Guichen to go with him. Lu Guichen walked beside Xiyuan, and the two followed De Qiu all the way into the camp.Both sides are barracks built of rammed earth, and the side facing north to block the wind is made of stone. At this time, the camp is empty, but the scale is larger than the few camps Lu Guichen has seen.Lu Guichen calculated in his mind that this place can accommodate thousands of people when it is full.And he also knew that there were no less than a hundred such camps in Shangyang Pass. "Is the establishment huge?" Xi Yuan noticed that he was looking around. "I used to think that Tangwu Pass, which defends our barbarians in the north, is the most important pass in the Eastern Continent, and it is also the largest pass. Now I feel that the scale of this place is even larger than Tangwu Pass." Lu Guichen said. "Tangwuguan became famous because of Emperor Fengyan. However, the Eastern Continent has always had more civil wars than foreign enemies. Shangyangguan is known as the 'lock of the imperial capital'. It is the front gate of the important place of the clan. Its construction scale can accommodate 100,000 defenders. From this point of view, Tangwuguan is no match for it," Xiyuan said lightly, "If the Eastern Land states are united, the Northern Land Seven Divisions are no match." "Yes." Lu Guichen's heart moved. "But these princes, even if you cut off their heads, you can't make them focus on foreign affairs. But if you just put a knife on their necks, they can still pretend to be peaceful for a while." Xiyuan smiled. . Lu Guichen felt relieved suddenly, and smiled at Xiyuan. After walking a few steps, his expression became serious again: "The hostility between Donglu and our Hanzhou is still hard to understand, right?" "Yes." Xiyuan replied lightly, "Hanzhou is still too desolate and not suitable for farming. Uncle also said that in the history of wars, there is still not enough land in Hanzhou to support the population. As long as it remains like this for a day, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more hostility Get up." "Then will we become enemies one day?" Lu Guichen walked beside him, he was already about the height of Xiyuan, shoulder to shoulder. Xi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You said Ji Ye would lead soldiers to kick your tent?" Lu Guichen was also in a daze, thought for a while and shook his head: "How come?" "Then neither will I. Ji Ye is friends with you, and I am also friends with you." Xiyuan said with a smile, "You are all so far from the north, and the trek along the way is terribly difficult, why should I go all the way to kick you?" family tent?" The two looked at each other, smiled and stopped talking.Lu Guichen's heart was completely relieved. When he turned his head, he saw De Qiu stopped, pointing to a dusty bamboo mat on the ground: "Major General, this is it." "Here?" Xiyuan squatted down and pressed the mat.He felt that there was no effort underneath, and it seemed to be a hollow. De Qiu lifted the mat carefully.Lu Guichen looked down and was taken aback.Covered under the bamboo mat is a bottomless deep hole, the water vapor is very heavy, there is a sour smell of retting in the water for too long, together with the cool smell of moss and aquatic plants, gushing out together. Xiyuan stretched out his hand to probe the entrance of the cave: "It's so cold down there, have you checked?" De Qiu shook his head: "Not yet. This matter is of great importance. After finding out the clues, his subordinates immediately led troops to blockade the camp, and sent someone to send a message to General Xi. Others, dare not act rashly. Before the Major General came here, Chen Guohe People from Chu and Weiguo passed the door, and some people came to ask, but the subordinates didn’t answer, they just didn’t allow people to step in.” Xiyuan nodded: "You have done a good job. You should not be just a centurion for being so calm when encountering major events." Hearing the words, De Qiu couldn't suppress it, and suddenly his brows lit up with joy. He held back and didn't say anything, but his fair face showed blood with excitement.Xiyuan's words already clearly stated that he wanted to promote him, and as Xiyuan, De Qiu had no doubts that his words would be fulfilled. "Don't worry," Xiyuan smiled, "It's not difficult to be promoted, but you have to wait until I really dig out a little princess from the hole." "Little princess?" Lu Guichen suddenly understood. "Yes, Uncle said, if you don't get here, you can't tell anyone, and you didn't tell you along the way. According to various news in the past two days, Ying Wuyi didn't take that charming Princess Xiaozhou seriously at all, and led the troops to break through He neither took her away nor executed her on the spot, so the princess should still be hiding somewhere here. If De Qiu's information is accurate, there may be a delicate little beauty hidden in this bad-smelling cave." Xi Yuan tried to stretch his head to look inside, but it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, only heard the faint sound of dripping water. "Have you ever seen the princess? How do you know it's a little beauty?" Lu Guichen followed him to look around. Xiyuan thought for a while: "Princess, she is naturally a little beauty. Our Princess Ji in the Tang Dynasty is also a beauty. I think that all princes will definitely not marry an ugly woman, so no matter how ugly the father is, the daughter will not marry her." How ugly is it? This princess Xiaozhou is a descendant of the royal family, the child of the Chu Wei king, and has been a beautiful mother, a beautiful grandmother, a beautiful great-grandmother, so she must be a beauty." Hearing what he said, Lu Guichen couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that this calm and dignified friend would have such wild thoughts. "But I heard that Chu Weiguo is the heroine." He said. "The heroine's husband may be a peerless beauty." Xi Yuan turned to talk to De Qiu, "Where is down there?" "It's an abandoned well. My subordinates found a handyman here and asked about it. He said that when Shangyang Pass was built seven hundred years ago, the water level of the well was higher than it is now. The location of the underground water veins under Shangyang Pass It was very deep, and this was one of twelve wells that were drilled with all the manpower. Later, the water level dropped, and this well could no longer pump water, so it was abandoned. However, there is still a water vein under the well. Therefore, it is very cold in summer, so someone proposed to dig a warehouse from the wall of the well to store fresh vegetables and meat, and it is said that it will not rot for a month.” Xi Yuan looked along De Qiu's pointing, and there was a dark square opening on the side of the vaguely deep part of the well wall, which seemed to be a small stone door. "Hiding in this kind of place, I'm afraid people will rot, but there are still vegetables and meat?" Xiyuan didn't believe it. "However, the handyman said that after the princess and her party were intercepted, they were indeed placed in this barracks, but he didn't see the princess and the female family members leaving. If you want to see people die or see corpses, the subordinates in this camp have searched all over the place. , there are no other suspicious clues." De Qiu said. "Believe it or not, I can't let this opportunity go. If a beautiful corpse is really found, the generals of the various countries will probably look even worse! I'll go down and have a look myself." Xi Yuan stretched his hand back. De Qiu immediately handed over the torch.This young centurion was extremely intelligent, and when he brought Lu Guichen and Xiyuan here, he brought four torches soaked in tung oil and a bundle of long ropes with him.Xiyuan and Lu Guichen each took two sticks, one sticking to their backs in their belts, and the other in their hands.De Qiu also drew his sword, looking eager to try. "You stay here, and I will go down with Young Master Chen." Xiyuan turned his head and glanced at him, "Arrange your subordinates and the fifty people we brought around to be on guard. Without my order, no one is allowed to go down the well." !" "Major General... This subordinate dare not take on the responsibility." De Qiu was stunned. Xiyuan didn't look at him, he fixed the rope to the stone pier where the horse was tied, and tied the other end to Lu Guichen's waist and his own.He glanced back at De Qiu, and smiled: "What's the matter? Look down on us pampered family children? Young Master Chen and I are in Daliuying, Nanhuai City, but we are also well-known figures. What's the matter with going down the well?" De Qiu looked at the high-spirited young general, then at the noble but peaceful barbarian boy beside him, and the other two were also looking at him.The three looked at each other, all showing the kind of smiles that only young people have.De Qiu has always been cautious, but now he feels that there is not that much difference between himself and the noble barbarian young master and the promising family general. "This subordinate has orders!" De Qiu bowed his head and answered firmly. Xiyuan untied the rope, took the lead in going down, and carefully climbed down the cracks in the wall of the well.He lit the torch, and suddenly the well was lit up, and a large group of buzzing mosquitoes was startled and flew upwards. "Major General!" De Qiu was taken aback. Xiyuan didn't answer, just waved the torch, and burned a few unlucky mosquitoes, and the others flew out in a mess.Then Xi Yuan raised his hand high and gave a thumbs up to show that he was safe and sound.De Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Guichen followed suit.The moment he went down the well, cold air hit his whole body, and Lu Guichen felt a slight chill in his heart.He had a familiar feeling, as if he had once again entered the mysterious crypt under the Tongyun Mountain, where the gloomy darkness went straight to the endless distance.He took a breath of cold and damp air, suppressing some discomfort in his heart. The two of them moved slowly down the cracks of the stone, illuminated by two torches, and the surroundings were covered with dark green and almost black moss. Some places were so slippery that they could not be grasped by hand. Thanks to De Qiu who slowly put the rope on it, the two Talent will not slip down by mistake.When Lu Guichen looked up, the light at the head of the well was getting smaller and smaller, but when he looked down, the bottom of the well was completely dark. "What do you think of that centurion?" Xiyuan asked casually. "Yes, he is a very smart and prudent person, and he is capable in his work." Lu Guichen replied. "Well, it's rare to see such a person in our Tang camp. Go back and ask uncle to check his resume. Maybe he will be a general in the future." Xiyuan paused, and suddenly said, "Here we are!" He kicked a few times on the rotten wooden board that sealed the entrance, and finally with a click, it was obvious that the pin locking the wooden board broke, revealing the real hole.Xiyuan pulled out a delicate cavalry crossbow from his back waist, pulled the string, and weighed it.He pulled the rope and used his strength to swing, and flashed into the hole.After falling about the height of two people, he stepped on the ground.He secretly belonged to the scout organization "Ghost Bat Battalion" built by Xi Yan. He was trained for foot combat in the dark. Before he landed, he threw the torch in his hand first, and immediately rolled sideways.In this way, even if someone wanted to attack him in the dark, it would be difficult to determine his position.Xi Yuan didn't make a sound, squatting in the darkness with the cavalry crossbow in his hand, watching the torch roll on the ground, only a flat ground was illuminated.Another sound fell to the ground, and Xiyuan knew it was Lu Guichen.He also knew that the barbarian young master's sword skills might not be bad, but he didn't have any experience in this kind of place, so Ce rolled over and grabbed his belt, and retreated very quickly. Lu Guichen also threw out the torch. The torch was soaked in tung oil and rolled on the ground without extinguishing it. Xiyuan and Lu Guichen were back to back, each holding a weapon. "Is anyone there?" Xi Yuan lowered his voice extremely low, he didn't see anyone or hear any sound on the route illuminated by the torch. "No." Lu Guichen also replied in a low voice. "Then take the risk!" Xiyuan and Lu Guichen moved back to back in the direction of the torch, each pulled out the other torch stuck in their belt, lit it, and then picked up the two torches from the ground.The four torches were raised at the same time, and the surroundings were illuminated. This is a square basement, which is indeed the layout of a warehouse. The ground is flat, and the walls are made of earth and chalk.The entire warehouse was built in such a deep underground, and the project was quite large, but there was no cargo storage, and it seemed that it hadn't been used for a long time. Xiyuan felt his hand was burning hot, he shook his hand fiercely: "Lime, there is lime in the ground, be careful not to touch it. It is used for drying, it really is a warehouse." "But there is no princess." Lu Guichen whispered. "Someone, I just don't know if it's the princess or not." Xiyuan looked solemn, pointing to the ground covered with lime. Lu Guichen stared wide-eyed and saw vaguely messy footprints. "It's not the footprints of a person. And the bow of the shoe is so small, it's not a man. Except for some women who serve as handymen in Shangyang Pass, there are very few women." Xi Yuan walked along those footprints, and gradually smiled. The fire illuminates the front, a secret door on the wall.It was also painted with chalk, and it was level with the wall, so it would have been invisible if you didn't pay attention. Xiyuan lifted the epee with the scabbard attached, and turned around to give Lu Guichen a wink.He lowered his voice: "I just hope to be a living princess, and everything will be fine." Lu Guichen held two torches in one hand, and held the knife in the other hand, nodded vigorously, his whole body tensed. Xiyuan let out a low cry, held the hilt of the sword and spun the heavy sword above his head, and hit the center of the secret door with a huge impact.Inheriting his uncle's foot fighting technique, his physical strength was extremely strong, and the secret door collapsed in an instant. Lu Guichen, who had already been fully charged, threw the torch out, kicked the ground with all his strength, and rushed in like a sharp arrow.Xi Yuan waved his hand and unsheathed the epee, and when the scabbard fell to the ground, he didn't look at it, and stepped on it. A woman's scream pierced Lu Guichen's ear like a steel needle, and the fire was on. He saw everything in front of him clearly, his hand softened suddenly, and he was no longer full of strength to draw the knife.And at this moment, a figure swooped over from the side, raised a wooden stick with a thick wrist, and smashed the door at him.Xi Yuan was far more sensitive than Lu Guichen at this time, he stepped forward, gently and deftly snatched the wooden stick from the man's hand, and knocked her to the ground with his mouth. It was a stout woman, dressed as a servant girl, in ragged clothes, panting on the ground like a female animal, and wanted to jump up.Xiyuan didn't give her any chance to fight back, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, pressing the cold sword edge on the back of the servant woman's neck.The servant woman rolled her eyes and waited for Xiyuan, and when Xiyuan met her gaze, she also felt a chill all over her body. Lu Guichen took a step, and the sound of footsteps echoed around him.He saw clearly that what he was in was a huge space that was more than ten times larger than the warehouse outside.There are still some wicker baskets scattered here, but they are obviously empty, and some dusty jars are piled up in the corner, exuding a faint smell of sauce and rancidity, which seems to be the smell of rotten pickled eggs.At the end of the warehouse where the firelight could barely reach, the unkempt women covered their bodies with dirty linen and leaned against the earthen wall to warm each other, shivering but making no sound.Looking into their eyes, Lu Guichen felt like he was staring at Heijing, and he felt as if the back of his head was being pricked by countless needles. That look, that look, that messy hair, those women.He thought of that night when the moon was like a hook, and Heluntie didn't make any sound, looking at the young Lu Guichen, his eyes were similar to those of the women in front of him. There were two corpses lying on the ground in the middle of the warehouse, a male corpse and a female corpse. The corpses were horribly bluish-gray, and seemed to have been dead for a while.The male corpse was burly, with a naked upper body, and ancient totem patterns could still be seen on the back.The female corpse was pressed under him, the clothes on her body were torn, a piece of her breast was bitten off, and the coagulated plasma dyed half of her naked breast black.The back of the male corpse was cracked. Lu Guichen glanced back and saw the wooden stick that Xi Yuan had snatched from him.That heavy blow to the back of the head must have been caused by a wooden stick.When this Liguo red brigade pawn was violent to a woman, the servant woman jumped out and gave him a fatal blow. Xiyuan kicked the wooden stick away with one kick, then he ignored the servant girl, walked to Lu Guichen's side, and looked around. "That's right, it's these people." He whispered, "Their hair styles and makeup are not ordinary women. It seems that they fled here from the rebellious army to hide, and were discovered by this desperate person from the country. This person He raped these women with lust, and when it was that woman's turn, he himself was killed." Lu Guichen nodded. Xiyuan took a deep breath: "I don't know if the princess was killed, but even if she was alive, it would be terrible." "how?" "The princess is a hostage of the alliance between Chu Weiguo and our country. In the future, she may marry a noble family of our country. If she is raped by a soldier who left the country, let alone marrying, the king will not be able to explain it when asked by Chu Weiguo. Although you can Putting everything on Li Guo will make both of us look bad." Xiyuan lowered his voice, "Go and have a look." Suddenly there was a roar from behind, and the servant woman jumped up panting and rushed towards Xiyuanhu.The moment she was about to grab Xi Yuan's neck, Xi Yuan did not turn his head back, and hit her forehead accurately with a backhand.The servant woman was shocked by the force of the punch and fainted to the ground. The two of them approached the women slowly, their eyes swept across.Lu Guichen felt his hands and feet were sore and limp, but his face was as hot as a fire.Many of those women were naked, or only wore remnants of clothing that exposed their breasts and thighs. With slow breathing, their breasts rose and fell under the dirty and tattered sackcloth, revealing a jade-like complexion through the holes. .Some of them are dressed as female officials, some are maidservants, the older ones are only in their early thirties, and the younger ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old.Because of the long-term cold, hunger and fear, these women seemed to be stupid, they did not raise their heads, did not speak, and breathed weakly. Xiyuan didn't dare to look at it, so with a bitter face, he covered his eyes with his hands, and asked Lu Guichen, "Do you feel like a princess inside?" Lu Guichen froze for a moment, then shook his head silently, he thought that there are all beautiful women here, almost everyone has been insulted, their clothes are torn to pieces, and they can no longer tell the difference between noble and inferior. Xiyuan was helpless, put down his arms and followed him to distinguish, cursing viciously: "Damn it, I wish I could go back and chop that trash again!" "Who?" Lu Guichen asked blankly. "That red brigade pawn! A man, he was beaten to death like this, and even insulted the good princess. It's fine if he dies, and he will leave us with an unmanageable mess!" Xi Yuan was furious, and his heart Already thinking about how to explain to my uncle.He was in turmoil and wanted to make up a reason to say that it was a great misfortune for a woman to be bullied, but it was not a stain if she thought about it, and she survived safely.But as soon as this idea came out, he dismissed it himself, thinking that persuading the princess to be more open is like persuading the sow not to get close to the boar, I'm afraid it will be a bit more difficult, and now he doesn't even know whether the princess is dead or alive. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he got up, and he got up and yelled: "Which one is Princess Xiaozhou? Please reveal your identity! We are officers under General Xiyan of Tang Dynasty, and we are here to rescue you!" His words had an immediate effect, those desperate women seemed to be surviving from a desperate situation, those dry eyes suddenly began to roll, revealing an unusual eagerness, but still vigilant.A woman struggled to stand up, but the sackcloth slid down, revealing her pale but alluring breasts.Xiyuan was taken aback, took a small step back, and stared at her: "You... sit back!" The woman sat back in a daze, not daring to resist.Everyone was silent, Lu Guichen and Xiyuan looked at each other, helpless.At this time, a low voice sounded: "The two of you claim to be here to save you, so has the Shangyang Pass been recovered?" It was the oldest of these people who spoke. She stood up, her clothes still intact, and she presumably kept her chastity because of her age.Although the clothes were filthy, the luxurious materials and exquisite workmanship could be seen.Different from others, this woman can still keep calm, she and Xiyuan looked at each other with dignity. "Shangyang Pass has been breached, and the Li army has withdrawn. These things happened two days ago." Xiyuan replied. The middle-aged woman's body shook, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she completely relaxed.Her body seemed to have been pulled out of bones, and she slid softly along the wall.She sat tremblingly on the ground and covered her face with her hands. After a long time, she let out a sharp hiss and burst into tears.The tears of all the women were aroused by this howling. They slapped the ground, and the crying filled the huge warehouse, making people's scalp numb and helpless. After all, Lu Guichen and Xiyuan were still two older children, standing there in a daze, unable to speak a word.Lu Guichen looked at these women one by one, trying to find the princess from inside, but at this time these women were crying like women in the fields in the countryside who were desperate, and they still couldn't see the dignity and humbleness.He suddenly saw a woman huddled in the farthest corner, only she didn't cry, she was still terrified, but very quiet, she just bit her lips tightly.Compared with others, her appearance is not so outstanding, but she has a kind of heroic brilliance, her lips are rosy from being bitten, but her eyes are as black as black.Lu Guichen looked at her eyes, and suddenly felt a natural familiarity. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that those eyes were a bit like Ji Ye's black pupils. Xiyuan also noticed the woman, and walked over slowly, but heard the crying behind her cut off for a moment.A woman suddenly yelled with the utmost misery: "Zi Ran, Zi Ran! Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran, don't die! Xiao Ran, we are saved! Xiao Ran, you can't die!" Xi Yuan turned his head and saw a topless woman wearing only a green skirt rushing towards the middle-aged woman just now.此时麻布被扯开，那个女人的怀里抱了一个小侍女，一身残破的紫色宫装，任凭那个绿裙女人扑在她的身上摇晃，却没有任何回应，分明已经没气了。那也是一个容貌极清秀的少女，可临死的时候，表情狰狞可怖，一双手鸡爪一般地蜷着，指甲上都是血迹。As for the new bloodstains on the middle-aged woman's arm, the girl was holding onto her arm before she died. 绿裙的女人抱着紫衣少女嚎哭：“小染，小染！睁开眼睛啊，我们得救啦，不要扔下姐姐啊！” Lu Guichen's heart moved slightly, and he understood that among these accompanying women, these two were biological sisters, and their faces were somewhat similar.He felt pity in his heart and sighed lowly.那个绿裙女人哭了一会儿，像是忽然明白过来，一把扑上去死死抓着中年女人的胸口：“是你捂死小染的！是你捂死小染的！霜夫人把小染还我！” 被称为霜夫人的中年命妇一直隐忍，此时忽地大怒起来，一把把那个绿裙女人推了出去，放声怒斥：“没用的奴才！我们身陷敌营，备受凌辱，却死命坚持到如今，不就是为了保住公主么？若不是你妹妹惊叫，第一次便不会引来那个恶徒，我们不必再受一次折磨。如今她又忍不住要大喊大叫，若来的不是救驾之人而是心怀不轨之徒，我们这些弱女岂不又沦为别人口里的肉食？这样就算捂死她，又有什么关系？” Xiyuan and Lu Guichen looked at each other.Lu Guichen couldn't help feeling a chill when he thought that it was the elegant and dignified Mrs. Shuang who covered the girl to death with one hand so that she couldn't scream because she couldn't hear the slightest sound outside. 息辕认定了那个霜夫人是这里领头的人，踏上一步：“小舟公主可还安好？现在哪里？” 霜夫人整理衣袖，以宫中大礼缓缓地一拜，低声道：“请两位移步。” Xiyuan took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and followed Mrs. Shuang a few steps forward.霜夫人在一堆凌乱的麻布前止步，双手抱在胸前，盈盈地一拜。She tore away the sackcloth, and the first thing Xiyuan and Lu Guichen saw was a pair of eyes, those eyes were too clear and quiet, seeing such a pair of eyes here made them both slightly startled.可是这双眼睛的主人却是一个身材娇小的女孩，满脸漆黑，也不知道是油泥还是什么别的东西，糊得她根本看不出面目来。 Lu Guichen and the little girl looked at each other, and the girl was not afraid, her eyes were always soft and quiet. “公主是……这么小的姑娘？”息辕迟疑地看向霜夫人，“这脸上是怎么回事？” Lu Guichen saw anger appear on Madam Shuang's face, and hastily pulled Xiyuan's arm.He grew up in the palace, and he pays more attention to etiquette than Xiyuan, knowing that such words should not be said no matter what. 霜夫人咳嗽一声，清了清嗓子，仿佛立于宫阙之前宣诏：“这就是我国小舟公主殿下！” 息辕毕竟还是个军营里长大的孩子，并不太吃这一套，瞥了霜夫人一眼，从怀里摸出一块面巾，半跪在那个女孩儿面前：“可不要乱动！” Regardless of etiquette, he held the girl's small face with one hand, and slowly wiped off the thick layer of plaster with a face towel.他擦了第一下，就惊讶了一下，泥灰被抹去之后，下面软玉一样肤色暴露出来，又娇嫩得仿佛花瓣。他不由得放轻了手上的力气，小心地擦拭着，那个女孩儿也不动，就由得他折腾。 直到把一张小脸都擦干净了，息辕才点了点头，深深吸了一口气，回头对吕归尘说：“是公主了，货真价实！” 像是看见了一块浸在清水中温养的翡翠，看见这个小小的女孩儿，息辕和吕归尘却都涌起惊艳的感觉来。吕归尘在宫中见过不知多少玉质芳华的女子，息辕也不是没有见过世面的人，可他们都不曾想自己面对一个七八岁的女孩儿，却惊讶得说不出话来。她的美是完美无暇的，润泽如花蕾，清澈如白玉，而又脆薄如冰雪，令人都不敢去触摸，生怕一触之下，就忽地破碎了。 “果然是皇帝都钟爱的公主，这要多少代的绝世美女当她的母亲奶奶曾祖母才养得出来啊！”息辕全然不管霜夫人的冷眼和愤怒，啧啧赞叹。 他摸了摸小公主身上尚且算得整齐的衣衫，如释重负：“吓死我了，没料到是这么小的姑娘，出发时候倒是忘了问她的生辰。不过这么小的姑娘，想来离军纵然禽兽不如也不至于染指吧？” He looked at Mrs. Shuang inquiringly, and then he felt that the anger in the lady's eyes could almost kill, so he shut his mouth knowingly. 他起身，整理全身
