Because of the invasion of the army, there were no pedestrians on the road outside Suzi City. Only a carriage was walking, and the lonely ruts were the only scenery.
"We actually left the city. It's incredible. Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream." After leaving Su Zicheng, Xiaomei's face showed excitement.
"Are you so happy? Don't forget, after leaving Su Zicheng, we have to wander around. Now we don't know where to go?" Su Ruoyan said helplessly as he looked at Xiaomei dancing.
"Of course we are going to the capital. The capital is safe and there are many young men. Then the young lady will be able to choose carefully." Xiaomei replied without thinking.
"Going to the capital?" A look of confusion appeared on Su Ruoyan's face, and when Xiaomei saw her young lady's expression, she immediately thought of something and shut up.
"Mr. Qin, do you have somewhere you want to go?" After a while, Su Ruoyan lifted the curtain and asked.
"Me?" Qin Yu pondered for a moment, "No."
"Then let's follow the carriage. We will go wherever the carriage goes." Su Ruoyan suddenly decided willfully. Xiaomei seemed to be a little opposed and opened her mouth, but in the end she held back.
"It seems that there is trouble again."
Qin Yu suddenly pulled his horse back, stopped, and looked back in the direction of Su Zicheng. There, the sky was filled with yellow sand, and countless figures on horseback were galloping towards this direction.
Thousands of horses were galloping. When she saw the mounted soldiers in the dust behind her, Xiaomei's face turned pale again. At a glance, there must be tens of thousands of soldiers.
Qin Yu also frowned slightly, but soon relaxed and said softly: "Don't worry."
"Yes." Su Ruoyan nodded, and the tense look on his face relaxed with Qin Yu's words.
The carriage was soon surrounded by layers of cavalry. Nearly ten thousand cavalrymen stared silently at the carriage. This pressure made the horse under Qin Yu's feet already a little uneasy, and its front legs paralyzed to the ground, neighing in fear.
"Dude, don't be afraid, stand up." Qin Yu patted the horse's back comfortingly. It seemed that he was infected by Qin Yu's calmness. The horse finally stood up slowly, despite being still very uneasy and kicking from time to time.
forepaw.
The cavalry also made some movement. The cavalry at the front stepped aside to leave a passage. A general in white armor, followed by several lieutenants, rode to a stop three meters in front of the carriage.
"Master Qin, there are so many soldiers, what should we do this time?" Xiaomei asked anxiously.
"It's cool." Qin Yu smiled and looked at the general in white. He was a man in his thirties, with sword-shaped eyebrows and a handsome look. He looked directly at the carriage.
The two people's eyes met for a long time, and the general in white got off his horse and walked slowly towards the carriage. The generals behind him wanted to follow, but were blocked.
The general in white didn't stop until he reached one meter in front of the carriage. Then, he made a move that shocked everyone. He bent his right leg and knelt down on one knee in the direction of the carriage.
"Su Jue, a third-generation direct descendant of the first-class Duke Su Mu of the Su family, has met Princess Yanran."
As soon as the white-clothed general's words came out, Su Ruoyan in the car trembled all over, and Xiaomei became very excited, tightly grabbing the corner of her young lady's clothes, "Miss, she is from the Duke of Su Mu's family."
Hearing Su Jue's words, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He had been in this world for more than a month, and he also learned some about the history of this world.
The Su dynasty was the last dynasty and was replaced by the current Li family twenty years ago. Su Ruoyan turned out to be the orphan of the royal family of the previous dynasty, which really surprised Qin Yu.
There was no movement in the carriage, but Su Jue still knelt down. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him also dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Welcome Princess Yanran."
After a while, there was finally movement in the carriage. A jade hand was placed on Qin Yu's shoulder. Feeling the strength from this jade hand, Qin Yu knew very well that the owner of this jade hand was feeling excited and restless in his heart at this moment.
.
"Are you Su Jue, Su Mugong's third son?" Su Ruoyan finally walked out of the carriage, looked at Su Jue who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"Back to Princess Yanran, twenty years ago, the rebels of the Li family invaded the capital. My father secretly arranged for someone to escort me out of the city. He also found a man who looked like me to replace me. He was beheaded by the traitors, and
Under the escort of my father's loyal guards, I came to the border, concealed my name, and joined Li's army. Now, I have become the general of Zhennan, with a hundred thousand elite soldiers at my command."
Su Jue introduced his situation, and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Su Ruoyan, "My father gave this to me before he sent me out of the city. This jade pendant was made from a strange jade that the late emperor had."
, there are seven in total, one of which was awarded to my father by the late emperor."
Su Ruoyan was still standing on the carriage, but Xiaomei jumped off the carriage and took the jade pendant from Su Jue's hand, "Miss."
Su Ruoyan reached into his arms and took out a jade pendant as well. The two identical jade pendants shone brightly in the sunlight, and even their brightness was exactly the same.
"When the palace was breached, my father arranged for several nuns and guards in the palace to escort me out of the secret passage. He also gave me such a jade pendant and told me that if I saw anyone with the same jade pendant, it would be me, Su.
The orphan of a loyal minister of our dynasty."
Su Ruoyan's face showed a look of memories. In order to allow him to escape, his father set fire to the palace, and all five of his brothers were buried with his father.
Because my father understood that if one of his brothers survived, the people of the Li family would not feel at ease. In comparison, the threat to the Li family's country as a princess like herself was much lower.
"Princess Yanran, now I have 100,000 elite soldiers in Zhennan, and I have also secretly contacted a group of veterans of our Su family dynasty. Now as long as the princess comes out to raise her arms, people from all directions will gather, and then they will invade the capital and restore our Su family dynasty.
, just around the corner.”
"The restoration of the Su Dynasty is just around the corner!" the three armies waved and shouted.
Su Ruoyan put away the jade pendant, his expression returned to calm, and he said to Qin Yu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, Ruoyan deceived you. Ruoyan's real name is Su Yanran, Princess Yanran of the Su Dynasty."
Qin Yu did not answer, but patted the horse's back, comforted the horse which was frightened again by the shouts of the three armies, and smiled.
"General Su, please get up." Su Ruyan, oh no, it was Su Yanran who got off the carriage and signaled Su Jue to get up.
"Thank you, princess."
Su Jue stood up from the ground, looked at his deputy general, waved his hand, and the three armies once again made way for a passage. Hundreds of soldiers were escorted and knelt on the ground. Behind these soldiers stood some soldiers holding broadswords.
"Princess, these soldiers are all soldiers under Han Wude, as well as these crossbowmen. If you dared to offend the princess in the city before, you will be killed according to military law!"
Su Jue Chinese descended, and the soldiers raised the swords in their hands. Seeing that the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were about to be separated, Su Yanran shouted to stop them.
"Wait a minute." Su Yanran walked slowly to the soldiers, "These soldiers are all soldiers of my Su family. They offended me before because they didn't know my identity. They fought bloody battles to restore my Su family dynasty.
, if I die today under the sword of one of my own people, wouldn’t I, Su Yanran, become a sinner? Wouldn’t it be that I have chilled the hearts of our officers and soldiers and talk about restoring the country?”
"However, according to military law, anyone who offends a member of the royal family will be punished by the Nine Clan." Su Jue said hesitantly.
"General Su, I am the princess. Just think of me as interceding for these soldiers, unless you kill me too, General Su." Su Yanran looked at Su Jue with bright eyes and said firmly.
"I don't dare." Su Jue replied quickly.
"Since Princess Yanran intercedes on your behalf, I will spare you your death this time. However, you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. From now on, you will go to the forward camp. If you can kill ten people, you will be transferred back to the original military camp."
"Thanks to Princess Yanran for not killing me, we will definitely kill the enemy bravely and fight for the restoration of the country." These soldiers showed joy on their faces. Although entering the forward camp means that they have to be at the front in every war, but
At least there is still life here, and if you die on the battlefield, your wife, children, and children will also receive a pension, but if you are beheaded here, you will have nothing.
Therefore, these soldiers felt Su Yanran from the bottom of their hearts, and the soldiers of the three armies were also a little moved. It can be said that Su Yanran's actions had made these soldiers accept her as a princess from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Yu squinted his eyes and watched all this. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Su Yanran's figure overlapped with that person...
…
Under the protection of the army, Su Yanran returned to Su Zicheng and moved into the city lord's mansion. As for Leng Yu, he became the captain of Su Yanran's personal escort team, because after Su Yanran officially revealed his identity to the outside world,
In just seven days, more than a dozen groups of assassins were welcomed into the city lord's palace. These assassins were all sent by the Li Dynasty to assassinate Su Yanran.
In addition, the Li Dynasty has assembled an army of 300,000 people and is heading towards Su Zicheng in a mighty manner. The marshal leading the expedition is also the same soldier who conquered the capital and completely destroyed the Su Dynasty.
Grand Marshal.
A war seems inevitable.
Qin Yu also lives in the City Lord's Mansion, taking over Su Yanran's favor and having an independent backyard. It can be said that Qin Yu is the most relaxed person in the entire City Lord's Mansion. He just sits in the backyard and drinks tea every day.
Enjoy the flowers, sit and watch the clouds roll in and relax.
During this period, Su Yanran also came here several times, but each time she just came and left in a hurry. As the last royal member of the Su dynasty, after her identity was exposed, there were many things that she needed to deal with, including meeting and defecting.
The veterans and troops came to observe the battle plan... (To be continued)
