Under this moonlight and starlight.
Li Chenan led the Xuanjia Battalion and rushed towards Youzhou.
Su Muxin and Ning Wuzu were also heading towards Yanjing City.
Ning Chuchu, who was still in Nanxi Prefecture, was now heading towards Death Valley with Ning Xiuzou.
With ten thousand horses, Ning Xiuzou's marching speed was not very fast.
This made Kaiyang and others who were following Ning Chuchu very worried.
In fact, everyone in Ning Xiuzou has a very high burden.
That night, after plundering a market town, they raided a pasture. The harvest was so rich that every girl was carrying a heavy duffle on her back.
It's filled with heavy amounts of silver!
You also have to bring the food you need along the way.
As a result, even many horses carried large packages on their backs.
The team stopped by a pond.
After driving all day, we are tired and need to take a rest.
Horses need to eat grass and people need to eat.
Ning Chuchu was also extremely tired.
She sat down by the pond, put the knife on her back aside, rubbed her sore shoulders, and turned her head to look south.
"Approximately how long until we can enter Death Valley?"
Kaiyang, who was sitting next to her, thought for a while and said, "At our current speed, we will be able to enter Death Valley roughly tomorrow evening."
"Oh... Yaoguang took twenty people to explore the road. I'm afraid they should be back tomorrow."
Kaiyang turned his head and looked north. Yu Heng also led 20 people behind to explore Yuwen Gu's movements. He didn't know where the Second Eagle led by Yuwen Gu had gone.
"Your Highness,"
"Um?"
"We, Ning Xiu, only have around 700 soldiers left. There are 10,000 cavalry in Yuwen Valley. I am wondering... if we should just bring some horses to carry supplies and forget about the rest."
"This way we can march faster."
Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment and shook her head, "It's not that I want these horses to be valuable."
"Since he is back, since he wants to be the emperor of Ning State... Even if Ning State and Wu State are reconciled, even if the Yue State is safe for the time being, but..."
Ning Chuchu sighed, raised her slender neck and looked at the bright stars in the night sky.
"Yu Wenfeng is so ambitious, Jiuyin City is still in the hands of the deserters."
"There must be a battle between Ningguo and Huangguo!"
"I have thought about it carefully. Our Ning country has artifacts like fireworks and better weapons and armor, while the strength of the Huang country lies in their cavalry."
"We also fought against the Second Eagle that day. If we hadn't relied on the strength of our weapons, we would have suffered a big loss in that battle!"
"So, after he ascends the throne, he will definitely come up with strategies to strengthen the army."
"If our Ning State also had such war horses and soldiers like Ning Wuzu, as well as fireworks and sharp weapons, we would be invincible in the battle against the desert cavalry."
"Buying a horse not only requires a lot of money, but it is also difficult to buy a good war horse."
"We, Ningguo, are poor. No matter how powerful he is, he can't change the situation of empty national treasury in a short time."
"Because there are too many places where money is needed in the entire Ning Kingdom."
"It's hard to live without money, not to mention he is the one in charge."
"Just take it slow. It would be good to bring an extra horse back."
Kaiyang pursed his lips and was unable to refute.
She felt a little worried in her heart.
First, there were the pursuers behind him.
Secondly... it was Li Chenan who faked his death and went to Wu Kingdom's Xijian Tower. He hid this from the fourth princess.
When he returned from the Kingdom of Wu, besides Miss Zhongli and Miss Xiao, there were two more women by his side!
Does the fourth princess still have a place in his heart?
This is heartless!
Back then in Guangling City, if it weren't for the Fourth Princess, how could he have met the Third Miss Zhongli!
Back then in Jade Capital, Kyoto, the fourth princess had revealed her feelings for him, but he seemed indifferent.
The fourth princess has a noble status and is so beautiful.
Now the fourth princess is even more a heroine!
How could he not be worthy of him? !
As if seeing Kaiyang's little thoughts, Ning Chuchu smiled, looked at the stars and said:
"When I returned to Yujing City from Guangling City two years ago, I took the paper kite to the Jade Buddha Temple to ask for a hexagram."
"The hexagram says that if you want good things, you will be very happy, and fighting for your in-laws will only be busy for a while. After all, good things will happen in the end, and noble people will welcome noble people to their hometown..."
"Master Pukong from the Jade Buddha Temple said that this is the sign. You should act according to the situation and be calm, or there may be a turnaround."
After a pause, the smile on Ning Chuchu's face grew stronger.
"Later I thought he was really my eldest brother. I had buried that feeling deep in my heart, thinking that I could only be his sister for the rest of my life."
"Unexpectedly, he is not the eldest brother!"
"Isn't this a complete turn of events?"
"He hid the incident in Xishan from me. This is his reason!"
"I know about the deep love between him and Ruoshui. He only entered the Forgetting Platform in order to reach the Sword Washing Tower safely."
Ning Chuchu turned to look at Kaiyang, the light in her eyes became brighter:
"He...the information Tianshu inquired later said that he rescued Ruoshui!"
"This means that he has mastered the magical skill of Fuji Zhou Tian Jue!"
"He is not only a poet, he is also an invincible grandmaster!"
"On our way to Shuzhou last year, Sister Xiao once told me about the magical skill of Fujian Zhou Tian Jue..."
Ning Chuchu's face suddenly turned red, "It's nothing, anyway, it's good!"
"You go and ask everyone to rest for half the night after eating. We have to use the starlight to continue on our way."
Kaiyang took the order and left.
Ning Chuchu stared at the starry sky again and was stunned.
She was remembering the past.
The little things that happened after we met him in the past.
The girl's face was filled with a sweet smile. At this moment, she was no longer the tense female general, she had returned to the appearance of the little daughter.
She suddenly opened her mouth and chanted in a low voice:
"The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn.
He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone.
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book?
When the wild goose returns, the moon is full on the west tower.
The flowers float and the water flows.
One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow.
There is no way to eliminate this feeling,
Only under the brow, but our hearts. "
"Chen'an, this is what you wrote to Ruoshui. I like it very much... and I'm also very jealous."
"When I return to Kyoto, can you write a poem for me?"
Just when a hint of melancholy appeared on the girl's face, there was the sound of horse hooves galloping in the distance!
Ning Chuchu stopped her thoughts at this moment, grabbed her long knife, jumped up from the ground, and looked north.
at the same time.
Tianshu and others, who were on alert, also got on their horses and ran toward Ning Chuchu with long swords in hand.
"Your Highness...!"
There was a sound in the distance.
This is Yu Heng’s voice!
"Run...!"
"Yuwen Valley is about twenty miles behind us!"
Ning Chuchu didn't hesitate at all.
She stood up and landed on her horse.
She shouted: "Sisters... we won't be able to eat this dinner... mount your horses and let's go!"
In a moment, everyone in Ning Xiuzi finished cleaning up.
They drove the ten thousand horses and set off towards Death Valley again!
This delayed a lot of time.
The second eagle led by Yuwen Gu was already ten miles behind them!
