Wenbo sent an order from far away to rest and adjust in Lujia Village tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning to set off again.
The itinerary for the past few days has been very tight, and most of them have been sleeping in the wilderness. Although sleeping under the sky sounds romantic, it is a kind of torture in this cold winter. Tonight, there is finally a village where you can escape the wind and cold. It is already a great benefit to the soldiers who have been suffering in the wind for several days.
Wen Boyuan first sent two small teams of twenty people each into Lujia Village to check the situation and ensure that there was no danger before allowing the large group of people to enter.
While everyone was waiting for the team to return at the entrance of the village, Princess Anping opened the car door and walked out. Hu Xiaotian got off his horse and followed Princess Anping. Zijuan stopped walking knowingly.
Princess Anping walked slowly towards the sunset, and Hu Xiaotian bowed to follow her. In the eyes of everyone, they were just a master and a servant. Hu Xiaotian never forgot to flatter her, but who could have known that they had already been in love with each other.
Princess Anping stopped in the wilderness and stared at the sunset with her beautiful eyes. It felt so good to be away from the crowd, as if she and Hu Xiaotian were the only two left in the world. Princess Anping sighed softly: "The sunset is so beautiful."
Hu Xiaotian bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, plagiarizing a line of poetry without any moral integrity: "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."
Princess Anping's heart trembled. She was touched by Hu Xiaotian's amazing talent. She felt that the poem Hu Xiaotian recited was a reflection of her heart at the moment. The days the two of them spent together were so beautiful that she was extremely nostalgic, but she was sober. I know that this kind of time is getting shorter and shorter. If we go further, we will soon reach the border between Kangxi and Yongzong. Maybe this beauty will be buried forever in the land that gave birth to her and raised her.
The setting sun sank little by little below the horizon, and the color changed from orange to blood red. Long Xiyue frowned and said softly: "I don't like the color of blood!"
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "I don't like it either!"
Long Xiyue said: "Isn't it already far away from Kangdu?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "In total, we have been out for twelve days. We should be able to arrive at Wuxing County the day after tomorrow. After passing Wuxing County, we will reach Yongjiang River, which is the boundary between the two countries."
Long Xiyue said: "Today is already the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, and spring is getting closer and closer." He paused, and said sadly: "Spring is here, but we keep moving away from her." These days. They As I kept walking north, not only did I not feel any sign of the arrival of spring, but I felt it was getting colder and colder.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "No matter how fast we go, we can't beat the spring breeze. Even if the spring of Dayong comes later, it will come eventually."
Long Xiyue nodded, sighed quietly and said: "I'm afraid I'll never see the spring scenery of Dakang again."
Hu Xiaotian can understand her complicated mood at the moment, but he also knows clearly that any words of comfort will not have much effect on this kind-hearted princess. He can only give her some comfort until the day when his escape action is actually implemented. She was confident enough that Hu Xiaotian secretly vowed to give Long Xiyue a sense of security and to ignite her hope for the future life.
Two teams sent by Wen Boyuan searched the entire village. Lujia Village must have been abandoned for many years. Except for a few wild cats wandering in the village, no living creatures could be seen anymore. Because the houses in the village have been uninhabited for a long time and many houses have collapsed. .
Wen Boyuan asked people to select the intact courtyard, and after cleaning it, it was provided for Princess Anping to rest. By the time everyone had settled down, night had fallen.
After dinner, Wu Kui came over to invite Hu Xiaotian, but it was Wu Jingshan who came to discuss something with him.
Hu Xiaotian followed Wu Kui to the courtyard where Wu Jingshan stayed. Wu Jingshan, like most people, pitched his tent in the courtyard. Although most of the rooms in this family were well preserved, they had been abandoned for many years, and he did not want to go in and spend the night.
When Hu Xiaotian arrived, Wen Boyuan was already there, sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with Wu Jingshan. Since the Black Pine Forest, the two of them had been ignoring each other, and it was because of Wu Jingshan that they were able to get together today. Hu Xiaotian vaguely guessed
There was something important to discuss, so he came to them with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Wu, have you eaten?"
Wu Jingshan smiled and said: "Have a simple meal. I have invited you two here to discuss our next itinerary."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I listen to Master Wu. I will go wherever Master Wu directs me."
Wu Jingshan nodded to Wen Boyuan, who unfolded a map on the stone table. He introduced calmly: "The place where we are camping now is called Lujia Village. We can arrive at Wuxing County at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. Wuxing County is about 100 kilometers away from the border between the two countries.
The Yongjiang River is only about a hundred miles away, and crossing the Yongjiang River is the boundary of Dayong."
Hu Xiaotian said: "We can just adjust for a few days when we arrive in Wuxing County. After walking all the way from Kangdu, everyone is tired and tired and needs to rest."
Wu Jingshan said: "General Wen means that we should not enter Wuxing County this time."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled. The original plan was for them to stop in Wuxing County, and they would rest for a few days before continuing on the road. However, he didn't know why Wen Boyuan suddenly changed the route.
Wenbo Yuandao said: "I just received a report from the front that civil unrest has occurred in the area around Wuxing County. It has been very uneasy recently. For the safety of the princess, I decided to bypass Wuxing County and march northwest instead. I will rest for a day in Changle County before heading back.
Crossing the river at Qinglong Bay,
Hu Xiaotian stretched out his fingers to search for the trajectory according to the route Wen Boyuan said. In this way, their route to Qinglong Bay changed from a straight line to a curve. The distance was obviously much longer, which made Hu Xiaotian wary.
This road happened to pass through the Fenglin Gorge, and this area was the place highlighted on the Green Forest Power Distribution Map given to him by Zhu Ba. It was the home base of the extremely powerful Muddy Water Gang in the Yongjiang area. Hu Xiaotian said:
"Seek the distance instead of the near, it seems that Fenglin Gorge is not peaceful."
Wenbo Yuandao said: "Fenglin Gorge is the home base of the Muddy Waters Gang. However, the Muddy Waters Gang has been wiped out many times by the army in recent years. After their leader Yan Baitao died in battle at the beginning of the year, the Muddy Waters Gang has been leaderless. It is basically a gang.
Just help the rabble, even if they dare to attack, they will not pose any threat to us."
Wu Jingshan heard that there were thieves in Fenglin Gorge, and he was a little scared. He whispered: "Since there are robbers in Fenglin Gorge, we should go to Wuxing County as planned."
Wen Boyuan said: "I have already said that there is civil unrest in Wuxing County. This kind of thing can be big or small. If it is not handled properly, the situation may be out of control. If we insist on going, we may be in deep danger."
Hu Xiaotian said angrily: "I don't understand. We can't go to our own important border town, but we can go to the bandits' den."
Wen Bo Yuandao said: "I made this decision after careful consideration. Since I suggested this way, I can shoulder this responsibility and ensure the safety of the princess. If the two adults disagree, they can continue to Wuxing County according to the original plan.
You lead the way, okay?"
Wu Jingshan said: "General Wen, don't be angry. Let's consider this matter again. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to leave tonight. We will make a decision tomorrow morning."
Wen Boyuan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys should think about it carefully and it's best to give me a result as soon as possible." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Wu Jingshan looked at the map and was at a loss. Although he was the chief emissary and had the highest official position this time, in the actual itinerary, it was Wen Boyuan who always played a leading role. After all, these five hundred warriors were all Wen Boyuan.
The subordinates originally expected to arrive at Wuxing County smoothly, and then be escorted to Qinglong Bay by the officers and soldiers from Wuxing County. As long as they got on the boat and crossed the border between the two countries, there would be people from Dayong over there to greet them.
On Yong's territory, it was like losing half of my heart. Unexpectedly, another twists and turns occurred along the way. Wen Boyuan suddenly changed the original route. Wu Jingshan looked at Hu Xiaotian and smiled bitterly: "What do you think, Eunuch Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I can't trust him!"
Wu Jingshan was startled when he heard this. Of course he knew that Hu Xiaotian could not trust Wen Boyuan. In fact, it should be that they did not trust each other, but it still surprised him to say it so bluntly. Wu Jingshan smiled and said: "Eunuch Hu, there is no need to be suspicious, Wen
The general's family is full of loyal people and loyal to Dakang."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "People's hearts are separated from each other, and you are not his father. How do you know whether he is loyal or traitorous?"
"Uh...this...but General Wen is still very confident."
Hu Xiaotian said: "He is confident in ensuring the safety of the princess, but he did not say that he is confident in ensuring our safety. To put it bluntly, whether you or I live or die has nothing to do with him."
Wu Jingshan smiled a little stiffly: "Eunuch Hu thinks too much."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not that I'm overthinking it, Mr. Wu, I'll tell you the truth, the ambush in Black Pine Forest was simply a play directed and acted by Wen Boyuan."
Wu Jingshan had an expression of disbelief on his face: "Eunuch Hu, you can't talk nonsense without evidence."
"Of course I won't talk nonsense. Mr. Wu, do you still remember that I proposed to camp outside the black pine forest and rest for a night before passing through the next day. It was Wen Boyuan who insisted on passing through the black pine forest that day. It was already late at that time and the distance was
It only takes two hours to get dark, and even if the weather is fine, it will take two hours for a guide to lead the way. The situation that day was snowy, covering the road in the forest. Even if Wenbo was far from understanding the situation, Zhao Zhihe, as a local
People who are responsible for guiding should also know that we will not be able to pass through the black pine forest before dark."
"Zhao Zhihe?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "That's the one I killed."
Only then did Wu Jingshan figure out who Zhao Zhihe was. Hu Xiaotian brought up the old story again, and Wu Jingshan looked back and thought that it did make sense.
There is still one monthly ticket that reaches 1,400, so the kind brothers and sisters voted for it, thank you! (To be continued...)
