Early in the morning, around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun is setting in the west, but it is the hottest time of the day.
On the official road leading from Leshou County to Yingzhou City, thousands of people and horses were hurrying on their way, whips raised, the sound of horse hooves sounding, and dust rising all over the sky.
These men and horses were all wearing armor and fluttering their flags.
It is composed of the princess's personal guards and soldiers from the 100,000-strong army.
In the middle of the army, in a carriage, Su Xian, Zhou Jishi and the deputy general were sitting firmly in it.
The deputy general's surname was Wang, and everyone called him "Vice General Wang." Su Xian was not interested in this person at first, but later he took the initiative to stand up to the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy, which made Su Xian develop a good impression of him.
Gudong!
Gudong!
The three of them held water bags and drank a lot, then slumped on the seats in the carriage, and then blew the wind from outside the carriage. They felt that the heat had completely disappeared, which was a word of relief!
"Here are the pancakes, here." Vice General Wang opened a bag, took out a pile of golden and crispy pancakes, and handed one to Su Xian.
"I'm not hungry yet, you can eat."
Su Xian declined. At noon, he had a big meal at Xiao Xian Zi's place. Su Xian's brows moved. He always felt that Xiao Xian Zi's behavior was weird.
Vice General Wang then handed the pancake to Zhou Ji's office.
The two of them ate and drank from the water in the water bladder.
None of them had lunch.
Now he not only rescued Su Xian, but also captured the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom. It was a double happiness. It was time to sit down and fill his stomach.
After the hunger in his belly subsided, Vice General Wang looked at Zhou Ji's office and said:
"Why don't you just sleep in the carriage? Look at you, your face is ugly, and the circles around your eyes are completely black."
"No, no, no," Zhou Jishi insisted stubbornly, forcing out a smile and saying:
"It's most important to go back and meet Her Highness the Princess as soon as possible. I won't be in the way."
Vice General Wang shook his head and was not prepared to persuade her any further. In fact, on the way from the capital of the gods, Vice General Wang would have gotten to know the temperaments of the officials in the Princess Mansion.
Zhou Jishi is a very stubborn person.
Since he said he wouldn't sleep, he definitely wouldn't sleep.
At this time, Su Xian glanced at Zhou Ji's office and advised:
"Vice General Wang is right. You'd better take a nap. When you wake up, we should go to Yingzhou Camp."
“Nothing can happen”
""
Vice General Wang chewed the pancakes, smiled and shook his head, thinking: "I am afraid that the Zhou Ji Office will only obey if Her Royal Highness the Princess personally comes to persuade her, but no one else will do the same."
Su Xian thought for a while and then said:
"But you can't do this. When you return to the camp to see Her Royal Highness, you don't have enough energy. If you make a mistake, you will lose more than you gain."
After hearing this, Zhou Ji's office fell into deep thought.
Just as he was about to decline, Su Xian added, "I have never met Her Highness the Princess, and I am not familiar with the officials in the Princess's Mansion. I will need some advice from the Zhou Ji Office when the time comes."
After hearing this, Zhou Ji's bloodshot eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay then, I'll rest for a while, and you can call me again when we get to the marching camp."
After saying that, Zhou Ji fell down and fell asleep. After a few breaths, he could hear a slight snoring.
Vice General Wang suddenly stopped chewing pancakes and felt confused for a while. His eyes wandered back and forth between Su Xian and Zhou Jishi, feeling incredible.
Such a stubborn Zhou Jishi actually fell asleep because of Su Xian's words?
Immediately, Vice General Wang remembered what Su Xian said later, and his heart moved, and he vaguely understood.
After a moment of deep thought, Vice General Wang dropped the pancakes and water bag and slowly approached with a kind smile on his face.
Outside the carriage.
A few feet further back, there were four carriages, but they were all prison carriages.
Needless to say, Liu Ziyun, the county magistrate of Leshou County, and Cao Chen of Leshou County joined the army.
The person in the fourth prison car was the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom.
Because the hamstrings of both of his feet were severed, he could only sit in it, and his body was tied with more than thirty thick hemp ropes or iron chains, making his whole body swell.
These hemp ropes and iron chains came from the policemen of Leshou County such as Lin Datou.
Tang Shujing was afraid that the Liao secret envoy would run away, and in order to show off in front of Yang Zhilan and to show her control over the agents, the Liao secret envoy suffered a serious crime.
When the prison car set off from Lijiazhuang, it was accompanied by dozens of remaining soldiers, police officers, officers and civilians from Leshou County, and more than a hundred young men from Lijiazhuang.
Later, while walking along the official road, we met hundreds of soldiers from time to time. The soldiers set up roadblocks at various intersections to intercept bandits or hunt down Liao's secret envoys.
The gold medal given to Zhou Ji's office by Princess Lanling was still there, so he ordered these soldiers to join the team escorting the prisoners.
As the team grew to several thousand people, Su Xian asked Tang Shujing and others to return to Leshou County.
Yang Zhilan also went back.
The main reason is that Su Xian is afraid that Yang Zhilan will reveal her flaws in the marching camp. After all, Su Xian has long heard that Princess Lanling is beautiful, but she is not a gentle and gentle beauty.
Princess Lanling, Li Youqing, is scheming, cunning, a strong woman, and has a deep mind.
If Yang Zhilan leaked something in front of her, it might be bad.
In a blink of an eye, dusk has arrived.
The sun turns into a "golden disk" hanging in the western sky, surrounded by colorful clouds inlaid with gold edges, which looks beautiful.
Twenty miles outside Yingzhou City.
Marching camp.
The princess sleeps in the tent.
Although the sleeping tent is a temporary tent, the interior decoration and furnishings are as luxurious as a palace, which shows the extravagant style of the royal family.
On top of the exquisite embroidery, Princess Lanling is lying soundly on her side. After taking off her palace skirt and wearing only her underwear, her figure becomes even more curvy, looking like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side.
Qiulan, the personal maid, sat on a stool beside the bed, holding a round fan embroidered with pictures of beauties and gently blowing the air to make the princess sleep more comfortably.
There was an exquisite incense burner placed on the table next to it, with sandalwood incense coming out of it.
The whole sleeping tent is peaceful and comfortable.
Suddenly, Princess Lanling's picturesque eyes trembled slightly, and her slender little finger, as thick as a chopstick, moved slightly, and she was about to wake up.
Qiulan immediately stood up gently, put down the exquisite round fan, and carefully poured a cup of herbal tea from the table next to her. When she turned around, the princess had already woken up and sat up.
"Princess is awake." Qiulan offered the herbal tea with a smile on her lips.
The princess woke up for the first time, her hair was slightly messy, her sleepy eyes were blurry, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she didn't know whether it was morning or night for a while.
After calming down, Princess Lanling took the herbal tea and took a few sips. When she handed back the teacup, she lazily asked, "How long have I been sleeping? What time is it now?"
"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, it is already dusk now, and the Princess has been sleeping for several hours." Qiulan put down the herbal tea, and while helping the Princess change, she shouted:
"Wait for the princess to wash up!"
The cool water covered her face, and her whole body was trembling. Princess Lanling seemed to come to life in an instant.
After changing clothes, washing up, and simply dressing up, she returned to her exquisite, elegant, noble appearance, representing the highest aesthetic standards of the Daliang court.
The beauty of a country can be said to be overwhelming!
She doesn't look like a human woman!
After taking a closer look at herself in the mirror, Princess Lanling's eyes flashed with anticipation. She looked at Qiulan and asked, "Has the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom been captured and brought to justice?"
