All the hairs on Chen Xiaomu's body suddenly stood up, and he shouted softly with a trembling voice, "Who!"
"Your Highness, Sixth Prince, are you feeling better?" The woman's voice was soft, but Chen Xiaomu still recognized that it was the princess's voice that he had just heard in the carriage.
"Well, it's much better. Thank you for your concern, Princess!" In desperation, Chen Xiaomu actually said a polite and polite word.
"Your Highness, we are husband and wife now, so there is no need to be so polite."
Knowing that we are husband and wife, you still come to kill me, you poisonous woman who murdered her husband, Chen Xiaomu cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend as if nothing had happened, but when he turned around and thought about it, this girl is not useless, although in the dark I couldn't see very clearly, but I still vaguely saw that the facial features of the woman in front of me seemed to be very delicate. To say the least, based on her voice, her figure should be top-notch!
''Why is Your Highness still feeling unwell? "Seeing that Chen Xiaomu didn't speak for a long time, Su Xingran asked pretending to be concerned.
"Oh, no, no! I was wondering how many kilometers we are from Xinjing, the capital of the Zheng Kingdom?"
"Kilometers?" Su Xingran repeated doubtfully. She had never heard of this distance term before.
"Oh, it means how many miles!" Chen Xiaomu almost forgot that there was no unit of length such as kilometers in ancient times, so he hurriedly corrected himself.
Su Xingran nodded, without thinking too much, and directly asked about the reinforcements that she was more concerned about. Although she had no hope for Emperor Chen, she still had a little hope deep in her heart.
"I wonder if Your Highness has heard that your country will send reinforcements to fight with the Zheng army to fight against Chu?"
Chen Xiaomu's heart skipped a beat. He was just a scapegoat, so he didn't know what kind of reinforcements he had or not. But since he pushed himself out to be the substitute of the sixth prince, I guess any reinforcements from the Chen Kingdom would be like a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water, just because of his current situation. He didn't dare to say that, otherwise he would offend the vicious woman in front of him and pull out a knife to execute him on the spot. That would be called an injustice!
"When I came here, I heard my father mentioned this matter and said that in the near future, about a group army would be mobilized to support Zheng Guo!"
"A group army?" Su Xingran frowned, "How many people are there in a group army? When did your Chen army have such an organization? Have you been knocked stupid by drinking too much?"
In fact, Chen Xiaomu didn't understand the ancient military establishment, and the Chen Xiaomu he possessed was almost like a fool, and he didn't know anything about these military matters. Fortunately, he participated in military training when he was a college student in later generations and became an instructor. He knew some of the organization of later generations of armies and basic knowledge about military ranks, so he could only imitate the organization of later generations of armies and make nonsense. Now when he saw Su Xingran's confused look on his face, he realized that what he was talking about was wrong!
"Oh, probably around 50,000 to 60,000 people!" Chen Xiaomu made a rough calculation in his mind about the personnel of a group army in later generations of armies! Because he heard the instructor say that in the modern war of later generations, it would be no problem for a group army to fight a large-scale battle, but he did not know the fact that wars in the cold weapon era relied on human lives!
"There are only 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is too few!" Although Su Xingran was a little disappointed, but considering the current situation of Chen State, it was not bad to be able to send tens of thousands of people, so he was still a little relieved, so he did not go there. Staring at the name of a group army or not a group army.
"I wonder if this support army will be led by the general of Chen State?" Su Xingran still knew a little bit about some of the generals of Chen State. As a princess of a small country with constant wars, she still knew that leading an army general was even more important than the entire army. After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that a raging army can lead to a raging nest!
This question really stumped Chen Xiaomu. He had never even heard of the names of the generals in the Chen Kingdom. Su Xingran had so many spies. He had just replaced the sixth prince Chen Hong yesterday, and she found out today. Well, if she made something up out of nothing, if she found out, the consequences would be really disastrous!
After hesitating for a long time, I really couldn't think of a good way, so I had to shake my head, "Father didn't mention this!"
"Hey," Su Xingran let out a long sigh and said to himself: "If your General Long Li can lead the Chen Army to support our Zheng State, I would be willing to leave half of the reinforcements for your Chen State!"
"Princess, dinner is ready." The maid named Yun Shang who had just been talking outside the car appeared out of nowhere and handed Su Xingran a roasted lamb leg full of meat. Su Xingran took the leg of lamb and handed it to the station attendant. Chen Xiaomu in front of her.
"Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything for more than a day. Let me give you this leg of lamb!"
Chen Xiaomu was not polite, and took a big mouthful. Although it was not as delicious as the barbecue stalls in Xiuzhou in later generations, and it still smelled like mutton, but for a day and night without drinking water, he was already hungry and his chest was pressed against his back. For him, this leg of lamb is as good as any delicacy.
Standing next to Su Xingran, Yun Shang watched him wolfing down the food and snorted slightly from his nose in dissatisfaction! "Princess, wait a moment, I'll get another one." Then he turned around and ran towards the bonfire nearest to them!
"Hey, that young lady, please find some more water!" Chen Xiaomu saw Yun Shang turning to leave and quickly warned her behind her.
"Puch," Su Xingran almost laughed out loud, "Your Highness, you are so weird, you actually call the maid next to me Little Sister. Just call her Yun Shang from now on! But this Little Sister's name is really nice!"
When Chen Xiaomu saw that Su Xingran asked him to call her maid Yun Shang from now on, he felt relieved. It seemed that after Su Xingran heard from him that Chen Guo was preparing to send reinforcements, he was not planning to kill him tonight, and he didn't need to be here. Escape for your life in the freezing wilderness!
A leg of lamb was quickly devoured by Chen Xiaomu, and he took the skin bag handed over by Yun Shang. He drank most of the bag of warm water in one go, and his body suddenly felt much warmer. He also felt much more energetic, and the back of his head seemed to be numb. It doesn't hurt anymore, but the top of my head feels a little cold.
"Your Highness, it's cold outside. Get in the car and take a rest. We can leave the Chen Kingdom before dawn!"
"Okay, then let Her Royal Highness worry about it." Chen Xiaomu cupped his hands at Su Xingran.
"Come here, help His Highness get into the car and have a rest." As soon as Su Xingran finished speaking, a few tall and thick soldiers in armor ran out from the front and back of the car. They set Chen Xiaomu up and stuffed him into the car. The soldiers' movements were quite big. Chen Xiaomu's bald head hit the carriage board again, and a heartbreaking pain made him grin and suck in the air-conditioning for a long time in the carriage.
Chen Ruchang, this old bastard, the illegitimate son is no longer your son, so he will be your scapegoat. Is it difficult for you, the emperor, to assign me some personal bodyguards? Now throw me out alone. Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise I would not know where the sun will rise tomorrow.
Chen Xiaomu muttered and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Chen Xiaomu was still sleeping soundly in the carriage when he was suddenly awakened by a gentle tap on the carriage board. "Who?" His vigilance was suddenly aroused, and he turned over and sat up.
At this time, Yun Shang's little maid's sweet voice came from outside the carriage, "Your Highness, are you awake?"
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I woke up there. I was woken up by you, okay! What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. The princess asked me to invite you over. I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
"Oh, wait a minute." Chen Xiaomu quickly put on his fur coat, put on his deerskin boots, and touched the small black stick in his arms. Then he opened the thick curtain and climbed out of the carriage. It was already bright outside. Under the carriage stood a little maid, whose face was red from the cold. She was wearing a small fur coat with a double-breasted coat and two high buns on her head. She was not tall but very handsome. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She saw Chen Xiaomu coming out of the carriage. Coming down, he quickly bent down and gave a salute.
"Your Highness, princess, please come over to discuss something. I will lead you in front."
Chen Xiaomu nodded and said "Okay" and followed Yun Shang forward. Only now did Chen Xiaomu see the entire face of Su Xingran's entire princess escort team. There were about a hundred carriages lined up in the desolate wasteland. On the carriage, there are three or five strong soldiers wearing armor standing next to each carriage. Some are holding ring guns in their hands, or holding moon-covering knives on their waists. They stand there as motionless as stone sculptures. You can tell at a glance who they are. Battle-hardened, well-trained soldiers!
Su Xingran set up a temporary coarse cloth tent not far from Chen Xiaomu's carriage. From a modern perspective, it was only about four to five hundred meters.
There was not much space in the tent. When Chen Xiaomu entered, there were already many people crowded inside. When they met him face to face for the first time, sitting at the main seat facing the door curtain was a man wearing a beaded crown and a fur cloak. Wearing a tight-fitting double-breasted silk jacket embroidered with a pattern of large green peonies, she was twenty-eight years old and looked like a peerless beauty like a fairy from the world. Originally, Chen Xiaomu had the impression that his wife Luo Siya, who he left behind in the future, was extremely beautiful. Now, compared with the beauty in ancient costume in front of me, she really doesn’t even need to carry shoes! Chen Xiaomu couldn't recover for a moment, but Chen Xiaomu was stunned! He didn't even bother to look at the other people crowded in the tent.
Seeing Chen Xiaomu's lively pig-brother appearance, the beauty was a little angry, but she couldn't get angry in public, so she had to endure the anger in her heart and said softly: "Your Highness, I asked Yun Shang to come to you to discuss something important, please. Can you sit down first?" Su Xingran said, pointing to an empty seat next to her.
As soon as Su Xingran spoke, Chen Xiaomu felt ecstatic in his heart. I thought this figure looked so familiar. It turned out to be my wife!
