Gu Qinglu retracted his hand that was frozen in the air and turned to look at the horrified soldier.
"Why are you so panicked?"
The soldier's face was pale, and he pointed behind him with trembling fingers: "Bei, the King of Mobei is here in person! He is now at the junction of the two countries!"
Gu Qinglu's pupils trembled: "King Mobei? Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"The general has seen King Mobei once on the battlefield. He is absolutely right!"
The soldier looked determined. Although he had only met King Mobei once, the figure of King Mobei had long been deeply engraved in his mind.
That man is really terrible! !
Lu Qinglu pursed his lips, glanced at the carriage in front of him with a complicated expression, and then got on the horse without mentioning any rest.
"Let's go!"
Gu Qinglu gave the order and the marriage team took action again.
"Princess, princess."
Lu Wu clenched the handkerchief tightly, and his voice was trembling.
It was rumored that the Mobei King was cruel and brutal, and his methods of killing women were extremely despicable. He must have had bad intentions when he came here specially. If she were the princess...
Lu Wu did not dare to think any more. She grabbed Jiang Jingyu's robe and said, "Princess, if King Mobei plots something against the princess later, the princess must hide behind the slave. I swear to protect His Highness to the death!"
Jiang Jingyu smiled softly: "Don't worry, he won't do anything to me for the time being."
After digesting the memories in his mind, Jiang Jingyu also had some understanding of Hu Yanji. Although he had a violent temper, he was not the kind of person who would kill with a knife if he disagreed.
When he came to the border between the two countries today, he must have something to deal with.
Jiang Jingyu would not be so narcissistic as to think that Hu Yanji came specially to pick her up, and most princesses came to suffer, not to enjoy.
Jiang Jingyu looked calm, but Lu Wu felt uneasy in his heart.
Just as uneasy as Lu Wu was Gu Qinglu.
Gu Qinglu was sitting on the horse, and the knuckles of his hand holding the reins were a little white because of too much force.
His thin lips pursed tightly, and his vision dimmed and brightened as he looked at the junction in front of him.
One confusion after another made him feel particularly uneasy.
What is Hu Yanji doing at the border between the two countries at this time?
Could it be that he was angry with Ayu because of the war between the two countries and had murderous intentions towards her?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Qinglu's back stiffened and he felt chills all over.
If Hu Yanji kills Ayu, the Queen and the Crown Prince will definitely persuade their majesty to send troops to avenge Ayu. When the two countries go to war, Dayan will be defeated miserably, and their ministers will become prisoners.
If His Majesty is not convinced and Mobei asks for someone again, His Majesty will most likely select a woman from among the princes and nobles to come and get married.
Among these noble ladies, apart from Princess Ayu of Ningde, the most distinguished one is Wanyi, the princess of Lin'an!
No!
How could he just watch Wanyi marry someone else? !
No matter which outcome, it was not what Gu Qinglu wanted.
After a few thoughts, Gu Qinglu led the wedding team to the border between the two countries.
Gu Qinglu gathered his thoughts and fixed his gaze directly on Hu Yanji.
He had never seen Hu Yanji, but with just one glance he was sure that the man on horseback in front of him was none other than the King of Mobei, Hu Yanji, who frightened the Yan soldiers!
Without him, the aura that this man exudes from the inside out is intimidating, and you can't help but want to crawl at his feet.
Gu Qinglu swallowed hard and hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "Your Majesty, Gu Qinglu, has met His Highness King Mobei!"
Hu Yanji didn't even look at him. He looked straight at the carriage in front of him and said some nonsense about literature.
"Where is Princess Ningde?"
Lu Wu stiffened and subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Jingyu.
King Mobei is indeed here to see the princess!
Jiang Jingyu was also stunned for a moment, then grabbed Lu Wu's arm and shook his head at her, motioning for her to step aside.
"Princess……"
Lu Wu was forced to step aside and fell silent under Jiang Jingyu's gaze.
Seeing that the people in the carriage were still not coming out, Hu Yanji frowned, and just as he was about to step forward, a soft voice came from inside the carriage.
"The Great Khan greeted him personally, and Ningde was flattered."
As soon as the sound fell, a green-white, boneless jade hand stretched out from the carriage and lifted up a corner of the sedan curtain.
The next moment, Jiang Jingyu's face came into Hu Yanji's sight.
Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her face is as crystal clear as jade, like a crescent moon, like a tree with flowers and piles of snow.
He originally thought that Hu Yanji would be impressed by her beauty and couldn't take his eyes away, but he frowned: "Are you Princess Ningde?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Jingyu nodded slightly, somewhat confused about Hu Yanji's thoughts.
Hu Yanji narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with contempt.
This Princess Ningde, who can't be carried on her shoulders and can't be lifted by her hands, and who is as delicate as a flower, will be their noblewoman in Mobei?
Hehe, he had expectations for her only after his head was squeezed by the door!
The contempt in Hu Yanji's eyes was undisguised.
"Oh, Princess Ningde, that's all!"
Hu Yanji left these words, turned his horse's head and rode away, leaving everyone stunned on the ground looking at each other.
Jiang Jingyu: "???"
No, are you leaving now?
She thought about dozens of possibilities, but she never thought that Hu Yanji would come to the border between the two countries to humiliate her.
Not only Jiang Jingyu was confused, but others were also confused.
Don’t they all say that King Mobei is cruel? Why do you look so childish now and come here to humiliate their princess? Is the rumor wrong? ?
Gu Qinglu stared at Hu Yanji's back as if thinking.
He originally wanted to think about Hu Yanji's intention, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think about it and had to look away.
Forget it, no matter what King Mobei's intentions were, at least he didn't have murderous intentions towards Ayu for the time being.
As long as Ayu doesn't die, what he worries about won't happen.
After arriving at Mobei Palace, Jiang Jingyu was placed in Kedun's palace.
People moved into the palace that had been empty for five years, and the dark and deserted Changle Palace was now brightly lit.
Jiang Jingyu only brought one maid, Luwu, with him on this trip. She thought that after arriving in Mobei, the master and servant would be placed in a remote palace. They would depend on each other in the future, but she did not expect that Jiang Jingyu would be placed in Changle Palace.
Dozens of palace officials were waiting in Changle Palace, waiting for Jiang Jingyu's instructions.
The news that Princess Ningde, who came to Mobei for marriage, was placed in Changle Palace quickly spread in Mobei.
A sharp and harsh sound came from a mansion somewhere in Mobei.
"What did you say? That woman was placed in Changle Palace by the Khan??"
"Yes, yes! This matter has spread in Mobei!"
"Bitch! Bitch!"
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror became angry instantly. She picked up the rouge box next to her and threw it to the ground.
With a bang, the rouge box instantly fell into pieces, and dust flew everywhere!
The maid trembled in fright and hurriedly lowered her head: "Miss, please calm down! Miss, please calm down!"
The woman's hands were clasped together tightly, she stood up in a hurry, gritted her teeth and walked towards the door.
"I want to see how powerful this Princess Ningde is, that she can live in Changle Palace, Ke Dun's dormitory!"
After the woman finished speaking, she walked out angrily, planning to go to Changle Palace to find out.
The woman was Ul Zhuoma, the daughter of Hu Yanji's capable lieutenant general. She practiced martial arts while urinating. She went on an expedition with her father at the age of fifteen and now serves as a deputy lieutenant in the army.
Although he is only a small seventh-grade person, he still has an official position. He can enter the palace by submitting a post.
The wedding was scheduled to be held three days later. Headed by Gu Qinglu, the team escorting Jiang Jingyu to Mobei for the marriage was placed in a palace somewhere in the palace. They could leave for Dayan only after the wedding was held.
"Siye, in three days it will be the wedding day of Princess Ningde and King Mobei. When will we submit the peace agreement to King Mobei for signature?"
One of the messengers came behind Gu Qinglu and asked for his opinion.
Gu Qinglu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking out the window with an unclear expression.
Three days...
In three days, he will set off to return to Dayan, and he may never see each other again.
Ayu's previous promise to him has not yet been fulfilled. He was making insidious remarks along the way, but she avoided mentioning it, presumably because she was angry with him.
Angry that he didn't stop His Majesty from letting her come to Mobei for marriage.
It seems that before leaving, I have to find a chance to meet Ayu and ask her to agree to the matter.
Thinking of this, Gu Qinglu turned to look at the messenger: "I will make a decision on this matter after asking the princess for her opinion."
Ask the princess?
The envoy was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement under Gu Qinglu's sharp gaze.
the other side.
Wuer Zhuoma came to Changle Palace angrily and was rejected. Lu Wu said that Jiang Jingyu had rested and would not see anyone for the time being.
Although what Lu Wu said was true, in Ul Zhuoma's opinion, Jiang Jingyu was just putting on airs.
She was already resentful of Jiang Jingyu for living in Changle Palace, and her resentment deepened now.
However, Uldroma was not so impulsive as to forcefully break into Changle Palace in full view of the public. She nodded without changing her expression.
"In that case, I won't disturb Princess Ningde."
The moment Uldroma turned around, his face instantly darkened.
After walking out of Changle Palace, she did not leave. Instead, she lurked around Changle Palace, planning to see the true face of Princess Ningde at night.
It gets late.
Jiang Jingyu's dowry was carried box by box to Changle Palace by palace officials.
Lu Wu followed and counted. When she counted the last box of dowry, the man in charge of transporting it raised his head, and a familiar face instantly caught Lu Wu's sight.
Lu Wu's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at Gu Qinglu, who was disguised as a palace servant.
Gu Qinglu quietly walked up to Lu Wu and stuffed a note into Lu Wu's hand, and then retreated with the other palace people.
After counting the dowry, Lu Wu calmly held the note and said to the palace people waiting in the palace: "You should step aside first."
"yes."
After everyone in the palace had retreated, Lu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and presented the small note that Gu Qinglu had thrust to her in front of Jiang Jingyu.
"Princess, this was left by Si Ye just now."
Jiang Jingyu curled up the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, but Gu Qinglu couldn't bear it anymore.
She opened the note left by Gu Qinglu and read the contents. Just as Jiang Jingyu expected, Gu Qinglu said that he had something to tell her personally and asked her to talk tonight.
The location is by the lake near Changle Palace.
Jiang Jingyu got up and walked towards the side hall. Seeing this, Lu Wu hurriedly followed her: "Where is the princess going so late?"
Jiang Jingyu didn't stop walking and told Lu Wu: "I'm going out, you don't have to follow me."
Lu Wu was startled and hurriedly ran to Jiang Jingyu to stop her: "Your Highness! This is Mobei, not Dayan. If Your Highness and Si Ye meet in private and are seen by others, it will bring disaster to the princess!"
Jiang Jingyu read the note left by Gu Qinglu and went out. Lu Wu knew without thinking that she was going to Gu Qinglu's appointment.
Jiang Jingyu had already thought of Lu Wu's concerns, but now that someone was hiding in the dark and wanted to find out something about her, she would just bring it to her door in person.
After all, she also wanted to see what smooth words Gu Qinglu, a hypocrite, had come up with to deceive her.
Finally, Jiang Jingyu walked out of the side hall regardless of Lu Wu's obstruction.
Lu Wu stamped her feet anxiously, but she couldn't follow him at this time, so she could only stay here to cover Jiang Jingyu.
"Does this Gu Siye want to kill the princess?!"
Lu Wu pulled the veil angrily, looking outside the hall for a while, and then toward the side hall.
Jiang Jingyu exchanged the God-absence Powder in the system, which made the palace attendants guarding the side hall lose their minds for a moment, and she took advantage of this opportunity to sneak out of the side hall quietly.
Seeing Jiang Jingyu's leaving figure, Ul Zhuoma, who was lurking on the eaves of Changle Palace, narrowed his eyes and raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
She still thought that Princess Ningde was some kind of saint, but she turned out to be just a fool.
I just heard what the maid said. Princess Ningde came out to have a private meeting with a man. As a marriage princess, she had a private meeting with other men in the Mobei Palace. This Princess Ningde is really uninhibited!
She wanted to see if Princess Ningde would still live in Changle Palace after the Khan knew about it!
Uldroma smiled evilly and followed quietly.
When Jiang Jingyu arrived at the lake, Gu Qinglu had already been waiting here for a long time.
Gu Qinglu was not surprised by Jiang Jingyu's arrival. He was sure that Jiang Jingyu would come to keep the appointment after receiving the note due to Jiang Jingyu's friendship with him.
The lake was surrounded by grass half as tall as a man, which provided shelter for the two of them and gave Uldroma a place to hide.
"Si Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it. It's not a good place to stay for a long time."
Jiang Jingyu spoke first, wanting to see what tricks Gu Qinglu, a hypocrite, wanted to play.
Gu Qinglu walked towards her with a guilty look on his face: "I know Ayu was angry with me, but His Majesty had already made up his mind at that time and couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion. I really had no way to stop him..."
When he heard what Gu Qinglu called Jiang Jingyu, Ulzhuma's eyes lit up while hiding behind the bushes.
Princess Ningde is indeed here to have a private meeting with her lover!
Jiang Jingyu looked at Gu Qinglu expressionlessly: "So? What did you want to say when you called me here today? If you just want to apologize, then please go back. You have said the same thing countless times."
Jiang Jingyu said this and was about to turn around, but Gu Qinglu hurriedly came to her and blocked her way.
"Auntie, it's me who is incompetent and useless. I can only watch you marry someone else but I'm helpless!"
Gu Qinglu slapped himself in the face as he spoke, looking affectionate and remorseful.
Seeing that Jiang Jingyu was unmoved, Lu Qinglu used his final trump card. He took two steps forward and looked at Jiang Jingyu with a firm face.
"I failed to persuade His Majesty when we were in the palace. Now I will save Ayu even if I risk my life!"
