Because she just came in, Shu Li was unprepared.
A gust of wind blew by, and a lot of sand got into her eyes.
So the next second, she raised one hand that was holding the reins to rub her eyes, and the horse beneath her instantly began to feel uneasy.
Before Shu Li could react, someone suddenly sped up from behind and caught up, reaching out to hold the reins for her.
It was a young man wearing a felt hat. Like Shu Li, his clothes were tied up and his mouth and nose were covered with cloth. Only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed.
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" The young man's voice passed through the fabric and was blocked by the wind and sand. Shu Li could barely hear it clearly.
She didn't speak, just pointed to her eyes, then quickly rubbed out the sand and regained control of the reins.
But the young man did not retreat back. He accelerated again and walked in front of Shu Li, blocking the wind and part of the sand blowing over.
Shu Li: He’s quite nice!
In such a wind and sand, the panel did not appear. I don't know how long they walked, but when Shu Li was in a daze, she saw a building in front of her.
"Your Highness, our Daqi border city is just ahead. Do you want to rush there quickly?"
The young man slowed down and asked Shu Li for help.
"allow."
Shu Li had no identity reminder and didn't react much.
But she seemed to have forgotten that she herself did not know how to ride a horse.
After receiving the order, the young man gathered the horse's belly, lowered the whip, and easily increased the speed.
And the same goes for other guards.
Shu Li: Oh knock! Can't do it.
She looked a little embarrassed, and the clever NPC behind her came over: "Is Your Highness feeling unwell?"
"Hand cramps." Shu Li said concisely.
"Will my subordinate help you control the reins?"
"Can."
As soon as he finished speaking, this clever NPC took Shu Li's reins and held it in his hand. Then he blew a long whistle and drove the horse under him to speed up, because the reins carried Shu Li's horse with him.
I have to say, it is indeed much faster.
Moreover, when approaching the city gate, the NPC slowed down in advance and returned the reins to Shuli, letting her hold it herself.
Shu Li: What a good boy, you have a bright future!
The original young man had already knocked on the city gate, and was exchanging the letters in his hands when Shu Li dismounted.
The person who came out to greet him was wearing a suit of armor. Judging from the long tassel on his hat and the pattern of the armor, he must have some status.
After checking their identities, they quickly walked towards Shu Li.
"The last general, Wu Fu, has met His Highness Shu."
"..." Shu Li's movements froze for a moment: "What did you call me?"
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Shu Li took a deep breath: "Send the order!"
She gave the order as soon as she arrived, and her tone was so serious that everyone lowered their heads and responded: "My subordinates are here!"
"The general is here!"
"From now on, everyone will call me His Highness Ying, or His Highness Sheng." Shu Li said seriously: "The two dynasties are facing each other. Even if our soldiers are not defeated by Yan Thief, we can't talk about losing all day long."
…
Seeing everyone's silence, Shu Li's heart skipped a beat.
It was the clever NPC who reacted quickly and was the first to speak: "Your Highness is right! Yan Tie only sent an unpopular little prince over for the peace talks. Who knows if Yan Tie's attitude towards the peace talks was just a show-off! "
"Yes! Your Highness said it well! Your Highness is wise!"
"It's better if it's fake. I haven't had a good fight yet! Those Yan thieves made peace as soon as they saw they were about to lose. How spineless!"
There were a lot of chatter from all sides, and Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief under such voices.
Don't ask, just ask because you hate another day when the panel doesn't give you information.
"His Highness has been running all the way and hasn't had much rest. I wonder if General Wu can let our Highness take a rest first?" The clever little brother spoke again.
Naturally, General Wufu obeyed, and immediately took them into the city personally and stayed in the city lord's mansion that had been packed long ago.
He still had to be on duty at the city gate, so he settled Shuli down and hurried back.
Shu Li sat at the stone table in the courtyard and remained silent.
The people accompanying her stood in front of her and made no move.
Shu Li was not thinking about anything important, but felt that there were too many NPCs, and was afraid that this dungeon would undergo uncontrollable changes.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to rest?" The young man at the beginning was also a little tired, and they couldn't hold on anymore after traveling for the past few days.
Shu Li finally came back to her senses: "..."
"You go and rest, don't worry about me." After saying that, she paused: "You go and wash up, and come back in two hours."
Shu Li was still thinking about what she would say when they asked her why, but the NPCs did it decisively without any hesitation.
Shuli's place is the main courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and the NPCs accompanying her live in the small courtyard separated by walls from the main courtyard.
Although this is a safe city lord's mansion, the NPCs still left one person to protect her.
And the other party is that clever little NPC.
Shu Li coughed twice, and the other party automatically came over.
"Take the cloth off your face and talk."
The other party immediately complied, revealing a childish face.
"My subordinates, Fourth and Five, only worked for His Highness before departure. It's normal for you not to know my subordinates." The other party said with a flattering smile: "Unlike Master Yijiu, who is a popular person in front of the prince, he can be our leader. I also have a lot of advice for you, Your Highness.”
After listening to this, Shu Li instantly understood that this young man had taken eye medicine.
"The responsibilities here are heavy, so we have to prioritize them." Shu Li said solemnly, and then spoke a specious temptation.
"Of course I understand. The peace talks are also what His Highness wishes. After all, Miss Feng Yue is still in the hands of Yan Thief."
"Be careful!" Shu Li was ecstatic about getting the information, and her face was extremely calm.
"Don't worry, my subordinates understand. General Li is still the most powerful in this city. I won't mention it to others until the matter is completed."
Shu Li:......
Okay, this powerful one is mine.
Shu Li nodded and showed approval: "You are fine."
Appropriate praise made the clever NPCs look happy, and Shu Li struck while the iron was hot and made the next request.
"Come on, let's go shopping somewhere else."
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of danger?" Siwu lowered his voice: "You also heard just now that the soldiers guarding the city are not willing to negotiate peace."
Shu Li's heart trembled, the first point of opposition had appeared.
Since both his "His Highness" and Yan's "Prince" are here for peace talks, who will those who don't want peace talks and truce attack?
Apart from these two unlucky guys, are there any other candidates?
"It doesn't matter what they say, we'd better ask the people in the city for their wishes first." Shu Li changed the topic and his eyes became sharp: "If the people are not willing to negotiate peace, it shows that Yan Zhi is hateful. Even if he continues to fight, it will be Make it happen!"
Siwu's heart was filled with excitement: "I am willing to follow His Highness!"
Shu Li: I’m just saying to feel relieved. Anyway, something will happen if we don’t have peace talks...
Puppet follow-up is coming, and the shop is being set...
Show your love to the little ones. I will update more tomorrow. I love you so much.
