Chapter 11 The sound of horse hoofbeats, the Captain’s resentment!
As dusk fell, the soldiers collected Pao Ze’s remains and put them into the altar.
Three Weicheng soldiers pushed a cart full of Pao Ze's remains and disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one complained, no one blamed, there was just deep silence. Silence is the best medicine to alleviate Pao Ze's death in battle.
Pao Ze, who was chatting and laughing just now, turned into ashes in a moment. Such things are very common in the frontier.
Whether they are the soldiers of Weicheng, the guards of the princess, or the recruited barbarians, they are all used to life and death.
What was unaccustomed to seeing life and death was that he was the only one. Chen Xuan watched silently as the wooden cart creaked and disappeared at the Beishan crossing.
The soldiers began to serve the food. The quality of the food was far worse than that of the court food, but His Highness was still His Highness, and the food was still as exquisite as ever.
Chen Xuan sat on the bluestone, listening to the sound of horse hoofs that gradually sounded in his ears. The sound of horse hoofs sounded like a cavalry, coming from the mountain road.
As time goes by, the sound of horse hooves has rumbled, and the earth seems to be shaking slightly.
The guards in the center once again formed a formation to protect the carriage. The person sitting in the carriage was Lu Qingchen, not the princess.
In Lu Qingchen's view, if the cavalry of the general came, then the only one who could lead the princess to survive would probably be Mr. Chen.
The cavalry of General Xiahou, the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, wanted to kill the princess of the Tang Dynasty. How ridiculous this is.
After a long time, the sound of horse hooves was still there, but no one was seen coming out of Beishan Road.
Some just screamed for death. Li Yu took the child's hand and moved it to the bluestone, his eyes full of calm.
Because he had seen Chen Xuan's killing power, Li Yu was very calm. A possessed swordsman was no match for Chen Xuan, let alone an untrained cavalryman?
Beishan Road is just a small road, and it is very incapable of cavalry crossing. Even if the cavalry came here, how many cavalry would there be?
Ning Que sat on the side of the dilapidated carriage, looking at the three people beside the bluestone, and already had the intention of leaving the team.
It is indeed dangerous to follow this princess. First there were assassin practitioners, and now even the empire's cavalry have joined in.
This princess, her Royal Highness, seems to be not much different from Qin Tianjian’s prophecy, right?
By the Bluestone.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, with the man and woman so close to each other, it was easy for people to misunderstand.
Chen Xuan felt that even Lu Qingchen's eyes had changed when he looked at him. In the eyes of those sincere guards in armor, Chen Xuan saw other meanings besides awe.
But Chen Xuan never thought about being a prince-in-law. Throughout the ages, prince-son-in-law has never been a compliment.
The road is long and full of corpses, and those who can walk with him should be his Taoist companions.
There is a great fear in practice. Li Yu's cultivation aptitude can be regarded as almost non-existent, and it is even worse than Ning Que.
Li Yu broke the embarrassment and said: "Mr. Chen, you have never had a place to stay in Chang'an, why not live in the Princess Mansion first?"
A practitioner who can easily kill a great swordsman will definitely have a chance to enter that miraculous realm of knowing fate in the future.
The biggest obstacle to Huanyuan's ascension to the throne is General Xiahou, who is at the pinnacle of martial arts.
And that General Xiahou, as a general of the Tang Dynasty, was also a guest of Xiling.
The night is pale and the stars are gone.
Chen Xuan looked at the vaguely visible cavalry on Beishan Road and said, "Is this appropriate?"
Unfortunately, except for the borrowed iron sword, the Ming Taoist robe, a vermilion gourd, and a seal, he had only two sleeves and nothing to wear.
One word can sum up his current situation.
Although this Chang'an is not that Chang'an, Zhang Gu's sentence that it is difficult to live in Chang'an is enough to explain the difficulties of living in the capital of a country.
Besides, there is no greater kindness than saving a life, and it may be more than once.
A faint smile appeared on Li Yu's face, and she said: "Why is this inappropriate? The princess's palace is very big, so naturally there is no shortage of a courtyard for Mr. Chen. It's just that I have a younger brother who behaves in a shady manner in the past."
"I wonder if Mr. Chen can teach me a thing or two."
It was her mother's last wish before her death that Hun Yuan ascend the throne of the Tang Kingdom, and it was also what she wanted throughout her life.
On weekdays, Wanyuan is too naughty. She has been away from Chang'an for more than a year, but she doesn't know how much more naughty Wanyuan has become.
Chen Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "Your Highness invites you, I will teach you a thing or two. I just hope that Your Highness will not feel sorry for you."
A kind sister often loses her brothers. Judging from the story in the book, Li Hunyuan is more suitable to be a dandy than to be the king of Tang Dynasty.
It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. If you want to teach such a happy person, there is only one way, and that is to make them fearful.
Chen Xuan believes that harsh methods may not be able to change Li Huanyuan's nature, but they will definitely make him fear Chen Xuan when he sees him.
Li Yu nodded and said: "Since I have chosen to leave my useless brother to Mr. Chen to teach me, then naturally I won't feel bad."
Perhaps the current queen has no intention of harming perfection, but what about the officials in the queen's faction?
Since the death of their mother, the matriarchal clans in Qinghe County have somewhat given up on Wanyuan.
At this time, an unexpected shout disrupted the conversation between the two. Dozens of cavalrymen in the distance, led by a young general, came to the side of the camp.
The young general dismounted skillfully and shouted towards the carriage: "The captain of Gushan County, Hua Shanyue, arrived too late to save me. I hope the princess will forgive me."
This shout attracted everyone's attention. The firelight in the hands of the cavalry was dotted, and the guards forming a formation breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Qingchen heard that it was Hua Shanyue, he also stepped out of the carriage and said: "Captain Hua, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to Captain Hua for a long time."
Not far from Beishan Road is Gushan County, and Lu Qingchen had met the captain of Gushan County more than once when he was in the palace of Princess Chang'an.
Huashanyue looked at Lu Qingchen solemnly and asked: "Mr. Lu, may I ask where the princess is?"
Lu Qingchen pointed to the bluestone not far away and said with a smile: "Captain Hua, don't worry, Her Royal Highness is fine. Her Royal Highness must be talking to Mr. Chen at this moment."
As someone who has experienced it, Lu Qingchen naturally knows what Huashanyue means to the princess, but it is a pity that the Huashanyue family, although it is a wealthy family in Gushan County, is nothing more than an ant in the face of General Xiahou.
The night was dark, and Chen Xuan had not lit a bonfire beside the bluestone, so he could not see clearly, which is understandable.
Huashanyue heard what Lu Qingchen said and walked towards the bluestone. Although he still couldn't see clearly, he could still vaguely see it by remembering the light of the torch.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely close to Mr. Chen, and it was obvious that she was about to bump into each other.
Hua Shanyue felt a burst of powerless resentment.
In the night, Ning Que looked at Huashanyue holding a torch with a bit of ridicule.
Ning Que was sure that the so-called Captain Hua had other thoughts about Her Royal Highness from the words just now.
It's just a pity that His Highness is so clever that he only hangs on Captain Hua.
