The last day of the sixth year of Chengyuan has passed, and the first day of the seventh year of Chengyuan has arrived, but this New Year there is no sound of firecrackers.
Outside the camp in the wilderness on the Xuanwu Road border there was only the sound of horse hooves.
Xiang Nan looked at the letter sent by the old servant and finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.
"My uncle was rescued by the miracle doctor from Jiannan Road." He said, "Thank God."
Chen Er was still frightened: "It's terrible to fight."
A small soldier will die if he wants to, and the same goes for a person who becomes a governor.
Xiang Nan wanted to laugh at what he said, but this time he did not tease him. He nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, war is terrible, so we must fight hard and defeat it as soon as possible."
Chen Er glanced at him and said, "Are you going to Linzhou yet?"
Xiang Nan smiled: "Of course I won't go. My uncle said that no matter what happens, he will not let me leave Xuanwu Dao."
Chen Er hummed, watched Xiang Nan walk out of the camp, and gave the order to set off, but the direction he pointed was somewhat wrong...
"Wait, where are you going?" Chen Er shouted.
Xiang Nan turned around on horseback and said, "Let's go to Huainan Road."
Chen Er looked at him, then looked down at his fingers, wondering whether he would leave Xuanwu Road and go to Huainan Road no matter what happened, whether it was one sentence or two sentences, one meaning or two.
...
...
The soldiers and horses in white robes all rolled away in the same direction, and among them were the guards of Jiannan Road. Although they were dressed in different clothes, they always moved forward at the same pace.
It seems that this is an order that has been conveyed a long time ago. Of course, it does not mean that everyone knows it. The commander passes the lieutenant general, and the lieutenant general passes the brigade rate. It is conveyed layer by layer. Each soldier only needs to know what he wants to do.
You don’t need to know what the whole thing is going to look like, you can still piece it together into a big formation.
What's more, they were going to Huainan Road. The banner of Mrs. Chu on Huainan Road had already been running around them, so it seemed natural for them to go for a run on Huainan Road.
"Why are you going to Huainan Road? Mrs. Chu Guo has already left." Chen Er said, "I have longed for her for a long time, but now I still have no chance to see her."
Xiang Nan was a little disappointed: "Yes, we are closest to Guangzhou. She went directly to Xuanwu Road from Yangzhou. I should hurry up and see her off. This trip is so dangerous. Who knows if we will see her again in the future?"
.”
Chen Er knew what Mrs. Chu was going to do. The letter from Mrs. Chu that Xiang Nan received was not allowed to him in the end. Of course, he was not allowed to read the previous letters either, but he was told the content.
Mrs. Chu said she wanted to help her husband fight.
Chen Er knew that Wu Ya'er didn't go to aid Linzhou. He thought, he didn't go if he didn't go. It's too late to go now. He should have gone long ago.
Fortunately, he is lucky and has a wife.
The daughter-in-law came forward to assist Linzhou, which could be regarded as saving the face of Zhenwu Army.
"I don't think there is no chance. You might just meet her if you wait at Xuanwu Road." Chen Erdao said, "Now that there is Jiannan Road in Linzhou, it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Chu goes there or not."
Xiang Nan hummed, then rode forward.
Chen Er reached out and grabbed the reins: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Xiang Nan looked back and saw that the little soldier's expression was serious. He was not angry as before, but solemn. He hurriedly asked solemnly: "You heard that, what are you doing?"
Chen Erdao: "Then you still want to go to Huainan Road? Do you think we can take the opportunity to seize Huainan Road when Mrs. Chu is not here?"
Xiang Nan was surprised and said: "Okay, Chen Er, you can actually see my true thoughts. It seems that you are not so upright."
Chen Er sneered and felt sad: "In this world, Taoist people's thoughts are naked in front of others, and there is no need to hide them."
As soon as Xiang Nan said going to Huainan Road, he knew what it meant. It actually meant the same thing as Mrs. Chu's people holding flags and following them around Xuanwu Road.
Mrs. Chu wants to plant the flag of Huainan Road on Xuanwu Road.
Of course Xiang Nan can also plant the flag of the White Robe Army on Huainan Road.
But Xuanwu Dao can be said to be a consolidation, because people's hearts are not unified, and Huainan Dao can only be said to be robbing.
Chen Er pulled Xiang Nan's reins to his side and said through gritted teeth: "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Chu will slap you in the face? Or do you think Zhenwu Army will lose power? Wu Ya'er dares not to assist Linzhou, Linzhou won't
I must dare to punish Wu Yaer!"
Xiang Nan looked at Chen Er and nodded: "You can even see this clearly. Ergou, you are really adapted to this world."
Chen Er was about to get angry, but Xiang Nan held his hand and said, "Listen to me, it's not that I went crazy and took advantage of Mrs. Chu's departure to seize Huainan Road, but Mrs. Chu asked me to help guard Huainan Road."
Chen Er looked at him suspiciously: "Did Mrs. Chu lose her mind and go crazy?"
Xiang Nan laughed and raised his hand to stroke his temples: "I told you earlier, because of my beauty, Mrs. Chu has a soft spot for me and is convinced that I will be entrusted with her for the rest of her life..."
Chen Er interrupted him with a few beeps: "I don't believe it!"
Xiang Nan stopped laughing and said, "I didn't believe she would trust me so much."
When he thought of seeing the woman in the letter saying, "I am going to help my husband fight, and the Huainan Road will be entrusted to you, the young master," he couldn't help but rub his eyes at that time, thinking that he was being deceived.
Rubbing her eyes, she saw the same sentence. She wrote it simply and neatly, and said it softly. It seemed that she was not talking about the military and civilians of a region, but the weather and scenery.
"I don't have much contact with the young master, but it's a critical moment of life and death. I know very well what kind of person the young master is."
"If the world is still open and aboveboard, you will be one of the few left."
The corners of Xiang Nan's mouth couldn't help but curve. Although she didn't say it, she must be one of the few left.
"Perhaps they are strangers to each other in Surabaya, but they can help each other in the battle. Perhaps they are passing by the Huainan road and they see the danger and remind them without avoiding it. Or they are planning to promote martial arts, but they are willing to take advantage of the situation..."
"There is no need to talk about anything else between you and me. We only talk about interests and benefits. You help me guard the Huainan Road, and I will share my fame and fortune with you. If you rob me of my fame and fortune, I will beat you up."
Xiang Nan pulled the reins back: "She dares to entrust her to her, so why don't I dare to take her?" He winked at Chen Er again, "Besides, if I dare to take her and I dare to snatch her, shouldn't I dare to fight her?"
"
If she beats him, he will return it to her. If she can't beat him, then go beat someone else and ask for other places. This is the world of Daxia, regardless of you or me.
Xiang Nan took back the reins and patted the horse. Chen Er came to his senses and said, "But your uncle said that he wants you to stay at Xuanwu Dao!"
Xiang Nan said: "What are you doing at Xuanwu Road? Wearing wedding clothes..."
He spread his arms and looked down at himself, as if he were looking at a woman looking at her wedding dress.
"Or two wedding dresses...and then go and make contributions to others?"
He laughed, threw up his sleeves, and clapped his horse forward.
"Now that I have the opportunity to make great achievements, I would rather make wedding clothes for others than wear wedding clothes given by others."
The white-robed young man galloped away. Chen Er stayed on the spot and did not catch up. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head. It turned out that he could not see through these people in this world at all!
Chen Er gritted his teeth and followed up, pointing at the back of the white-robed young man: "If that person wasn't Mrs. Chu, would you still do this?"
Xiang Nan didn't look back and flicked the riding whip: "Nonsense, of course not."
Chen Er sighed and saw through Qingming: "I have said a thousand words and ten thousand, but you are still confused!"
If you continue to ignore the young general in front, Chen Er feels resentful in his heart. No matter how fast you run, you will never see Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu has already left Huainan Road.
But what Chen Ergou said this time was wrong. Mrs. Chu had not left Huainan Road at this time. She had just left Yangzhou City on horseback.
The army on Huainan Road had already set off in advance, and she was one step behind. She had arranged everything on Huainan Road before going to take charge.
The news that Mrs. Chu is going on an expedition is no longer concealed, although the specific purpose of the expedition is of great importance and is still being kept secret.
In the first month of the seventh year of Chengyuan, it was a cold winter day, and the clouds in the sky did not hinder the people's footsteps. Everyone was sent from the city to the outside of the city, and countless people came from all directions on the road outside the city.
Li Minglou returned to his previous attire, with a cloak covering his whole body, a black umbrella on his side, and soldiers and horses escorting him.
There were many people who came to see me off, and they were orderly and did not block the road. They just waved and said goodbye on the roadside.
"Madam, please come back soon."
"Have a safe journey, ma'am."
Although the war was merciless and many people never saw each other again, everyone greeted Mrs. Chu's expedition with laughter and blessings.
Mrs. Chu will definitely be safe. Mrs. Chu is a god. Even if Mrs. Chu is not in Huainan Road, they will still be blessed.
Li Minglou occasionally nodded to the people, but most of the time he was galloping and focused on his way.
She has made all the arrangements here. The officials and the people have no worries about life and death, so she doesn't have to be distracted.
The road seemed to go straight to the horizon. A figure suddenly appeared on the horizon. He seemed very far away, and then quickly approached. Standing on the road between the sky and the earth, he seemed very small, and then suddenly his figure became larger.
Li Minglou felt dazzled as he saw the mountain-like black shadow in front of him pressing over him. The guards in front of him and the people on the roadside disappeared in an instant. She and the person she bumped into were the only ones in the world.
When the person arrived, he was wearing a green cloth robe, holding a wooden staff, and wearing straw sandals. The young monk had a weathered face and eyes as bright as lightning.
"Li Minglou! Stop before you dismount!" he shouted.
The horse neighed, and it was as if there were thousands of thunders above Li Minglou's head, splitting the dense clouds, and golden sunlight poured in.
She screamed and rolled to the ground.
The sunlight passed through the black umbrella and penetrated the black robe. Li Minglou seemed to be naked between heaven and earth, and his skin was burned to death in an instant.
