Dongfang Lian smiled and said, "There are troops stationed by Qin in the Dongsheng Palace. As soon as our people step into Dongsheng's territory, Qin will know about it and use their influence to assassinate our troops."
I'm afraid it's even more unacceptable to go to Beichen via Dongsheng.
With no other choice, I chose the River Country.
"Then take the waterway. If you take the waterway, you can bypass the land of Xiaohe Country and go directly to Beichen."
Temulans said again.
"The waterway is dangerous. If this plan is feasible, there is no need to come to your big river country to take the risk."
There is a river in Huang State that goes directly to Beichen around the border between Qin State and Dongsheng.
However, taking the water route is so far away and takes at least a month to sail. No one can predict what risks will occur at sea.
"Then what should we do, Queen? I can't help you. It seems that you can only go back home."
Temulans spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
"No matter what, let me meet Ouyang Zuo." Dongfang Lian insisted.
She came all the way, and if Temulans didn't even allow her to meet Ouyang Xiu, then she would be imprisoned.
"certainly."
Temulans spread his hands and said, "He is riding horses with Zana on the racecourse. I will take you there myself."
…
The Royal Palace Racecourse of the River Kingdom.
A handsome woman wearing riding boots is racing a horse with a handsome man.
The woman is good at equestrian skills and is tall. She wears the traditional costume of the River Country. She has a bright smile on her face, her facial features are very bright and generous, and her beauty is like the blazing sun.
"Ouyang Zuoxiang, how can your riding skills be so good? Don't you say that the men in your Huang Kingdom are more civilized than martial arts? How can you be better than this princess's riding skills?"
Zana, the princess of the River Kingdom, has competed with Ouyang Xiu many times in riding skills, and each time she almost lost.
She is the princess with the best equestrian skills in the River Kingdom. Even the first-class warriors of the Water River Kingdom cannot match her in riding skills. She, Timuzana, has always been the pride of the River Kingdom.
She was also very confident in her riding skills, but this confidence was shattered after meeting Ouyang Xiu.
Originally, I wanted to tease Ouyang Xiu because he couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, so he proposed to compete with him in riding skills at the state banquet.
At that time, there were onlookers including the nobles of the entire River Country. She walked onto the racecourse with confidence, vowing to embarrass Ouyang Xiu, the Prime Minister who came from the Phoenix Kingdom in Guannei and was always superior to others.
The competition started, and Ouyang Xiu gave her a break and let her run first. She originally thought she would win, but she was a little careless and underestimated the opponent.
In the end, Ouyang Xiu defeated her. Although it was a narrow victory, Princess Zana was very angry.
After refusing to admit defeat, Zana asked for another contest. This time Zana went all out and didn't want Ouyang Xiu to give in, but unexpectedly she still lost slightly.
Then Zana kept pestering him to compete with Ouyang Xiu, and said that he would not let him leave the River Country if he could not win...
In order to leave the River Country, Ouyang Xiu also pretended to lose to her, but Zana saw through it.
From that day on, Zana pestered Ouyang Xiu and asked him to accompany her on horseback. In fact, over the past few days, everyone had seen that Zana had feelings for Ouyang Zuoxiang of Huang Kingdom.
Zana did not deny that she was in love with Ouyang Xiu. She was worried that after Ouyang Xiu left the River Country, the fate of meeting each other thousands of miles away would be broken, so Zana always found every reason to not let Ouyang Xiu leave the River Country.
