Elegant Feather

When the triumphant song of victory swayed to Yu'an, and aroused the hearts of the people of Dahua, the beacon fire in the northern border could not hear the colorful sound from afar, and did not shrink back and dissipate because of it.In the lands that have been devastated by war, peace is never a simple matter determined by the First World War. It is a matter of fact that each of the northern borders has its own guards. This is especially true for the two states of Jijian, who have been away from their homeland for more than half a hundred years, and are returning to Junhua for the first time.

Hari Qiaolu was chased to the ground, and he was so embarrassed that he dragged the barbarians guarding Jijian as guards, and fled back to the grassland by himself, which allowed Dahua to easily retrieve the land of the two states, but the night battle in Guyuan was so shocking The Hu Bing battalion was broken, and they fled in all directions, but there was no well-informed news to let them know that Ji Jianyi was in charge.After the terrified night of Guyuan, the scattered soldiers of the Hu tribe gathered in twos and threes, but it was difficult to find a leader. Going home is almost an instinctive desire of human nature, and Jijian, which has been their racetrack for more than 50 years, is naturally their return home. The best choice for the road to home, especially Jianzhou in the north of Liezhou.It's just that the poor grassland warriors who fell into Pingyang, managed to escape the beheading and captives all the way, and only realized that they were abandoned by the Khan Kingdom when they saw the Dahua flag flying on the cities of Jianzhou.

When the Jiaoyang of May began to scorch the blood-soaked frontier loess, Jian'an, where Jianzhou's prefectural capital is located, was still fighting every day outside the city, but the enemy, from the scattered soldiers after the defeat of the Hu people, became a comeback army. In Rongle County, the king had already led most of the Dingbei Army to Jianzhou, with more than 20 soldiers and horses as their confidence. If the Northern Hu was defeated, why would Jian An be afraid?

It is a difficult festival in the battlefield. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, like every day in the past more than a month, the battle drums at the head of Jian'an City, accompanied by the waving flags and shouts of the soldiers on the city wall, are the pride and confidence of the Dahua soldiers who have won successive victories. When the vanguard general Hong Wei respectfully led a woman in purple to the tower, Jian'an City seemed to be a little different that day.

Why did General Hong bring a woman up here? !

The ranks in the army are distinct, especially when they are busy beating drums and cheering. Although the soldiers at the top of the city can't help but look sideways in surprise, seeing that Hong Wei didn't mean to explain, no one asked after all. After withdrawing his curious eyes, he was honestly worried that General Hong would suffer. Those with bright minds began to think about the identity of a woman who could bring General Hong to the city without avoiding the military law, and who was so respectful.It was the soldiers nearby who suddenly realized when they heard Hong Wei addressing the woman in purple: it turned out to be Princess Minjia!But why did the princess come here?Send food?

Back then when Princess Minjia was promoted to Princess Yiyuan, the hot-blooded men in the army couldn't figure out who was talented or not, but it was a pity for them to have such a good daughter born by Dahua at the expense of a thug.Later, Hari Qiaolu was assassinated when he returned home, and Princess Yiyuan failed to marry in the north, and her title was changed back to "Minjia" soon after. As soon as she left, she was promoted from princess to princess in vain, and many men in the army laughed and said she was lucky.It's just that in this time when rebellion and rebellion happened one after another, the wisdom and bravery of King Rongle who went to the Tang camp alone is worthy of admiration, and Princess Minjia, who overwhelmed all the men in the court and resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of food and grass, is really admirable. Let Dingbei army have respect.Only those who have been in the army can see clearly. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. People need to eat and drink, and horses need to eat and drink. It is not a simple job.Today's Jian'an City is mostly people from the Dingbei Army, just because Princess Minjia is the one who helps them eat and fight, so it deserves their praise.

So many old ministers will only make His Majesty feel uncomfortable, and doubt the old Marshal Tang's loyalty to Dahua. His knowledge and courage are not as good as his daughter and...young man...Bah, bah, bah, what's wrong with the woman, or what the prince said Well, look at Your Majesty and Princess Minjia, women can be good too, they are better than those useless gentlemen, fortunately Your Majesty sent them away.There is also the prince, the boy is a boy, but he is a good man with strong bones!Speaking of it, it seems that we have heard that Princess Minjia and our Rongle... No, the princess has already promised to General Xiao Tang...

The little soldier who started to gossip unexpectedly secretly glanced at Lu Wanqing a few more times. After Hong Wei noticed it, he secretly glared back at him, pointed to the fiery battlefield outside the city and said, "Please look, princess, the ocher armor It's my Dahua's army, and the barbarians are motley." After a pause, Hong Wei glanced at Lu Wanqing as if unintentionally, and added an explanation, "The one who led the army to kill the enemy today is General Tang Hantang, Xiao Tang The general is worthy of being the son of King Geng Zhongjie, he was very brave in battle, and he is under the Zhan Chihong banner with the word 'Tang'."

As early as when she followed Hong Wei to the front of the city wall, Lu Wanqing had already turned sideways while talking to Hong Wei, and left the crenel of the parapet behind her without a trace.Noticing Hong Wei's eyes, she looked cooperatively at Tang Han's military flag, a slight blush appeared on her face, and she waited a while before asking, "Is Beihu making a comeback?"

"Only these few thieves, who are small and troublesome, can't be regarded as making a comeback. That thief Hari Qiaolu only cares about his own life to escape happily. They are all emperors. Compared with our majesty, he is worse. It's far away. During the discussion in the military meeting, he only thought of the scattered soldiers under his command when he escaped safely. We made dumplings for the remnants of Guyuan's soldiers who could get here, and almost everyone who can be captured or killed is almost the same. This guy just thought of sending someone back to pick him up and hit the ball..." Speaking of Beihu, Hong Wei couldn't help waving his hands carelessly. She smiled at Lu Wanqing, "Maybe it's because I don't want to part with the Ji Jian, so I let someone try it out."

"Pai doesn't know how to send more. For a few days, only these few people came to harass us. When we have too many people, they still run away. It's so boring. Forget it, just like what Lord Rong Le said, it's just for training, but There are too many porridges and few monks, when will it be my turn, Old Hong?"

Hong Wei was talking to himself, murmuring his dissatisfaction in a low voice. After hearing his unintentional and heartfelt praise for Jun Tianxi, Lu Wanqing slightly tilted her head, and gave her smiling eyes to the "servant" behind her. Unfortunately, her "servant" was not conscientious enough, and her mind was not tied to her "master".

Training?After the white silk, Jun Tianxi pursed his lips, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Didn't it mean that the King of Rongle County also went out to fight against the enemy? Why didn't you see him?" Lu Wanqing remembered the purpose of choosing Hong Wei to take them to the city, so she spoke naturally.

"My lord, he..."

Before Hong Wei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Wanqing's startled voice, "General Hong, the situation below doesn't seem to be good, why don't you send someone to help?"

Following Lu Wanqing's fingers, Hong Wei peeked out, and found that the ocher-clothed armor led by the Tang character flag was in a mess, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Princess, don't worry, let's set up the Northern Army Now most of them are in Jianzhou, how could General Xiao Tang be bullied by barbarians at the door of his house? Didn’t you just ask the King of Rong Le County? Rong Le Lord is now at the foot of the city wall, and General Xiao Tang will not be in danger .”

"Oh?"

"Princess! Don't! Stretch your head out, it's very dangerous!" Seeing that Lu Wanqing deliberately poked her head out of the city wall, Hong Wei was startled, and hurriedly stopped her.Only Princess Minjia was concerned about her fiancé's reinforcements, and it happened that the sound of horns rose from the bottom of the wall, and the cheers of the soldiers on the wall also became louder. Hong Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "Princess, don't look, the prince is about to Bring the Shenwu Army out to help General Xiao Tang."

Before Hong Wei finished speaking, a row of black-armored and black-flag cavalry shot straight at the center of the battle circle like sharp arrows.

"Well. However, the King of Rongle is acting as the commander-in-chief temporarily. He should be in command of the three armies. If he is inadvertent in killing the enemy like this... the army loses command, there will inevitably be chaos. The King of Rongle is not doing well."

With the sudden addition of the new force, the Chinese soldiers took the upper hand in terms of numbers. Knowing that Tang Han was safe and sound, Lu Wanqing was indeed relieved, not because he was her fiancé-in-law, but because of Tang Jun's grudge. Now, not long after Tang Shao's death, one of the Zhongliang left behind was broken off. It is inevitable that people will suspect that the country's grace is weak, and that would be a great loss of beauty.

"Princess, you can't say that. It is also the duty of a general to take the lead and inspire vigor. Haven't you heard that the cheers on the tower are loud? What's more, the reputation of the ghost face king and the undead king is not empty. Back then there were many more battles than this one, just these few thieves, I'm afraid we can't even hurt the hairs of our general king, so it's okay." The whole city is united, wishing they could rush down to kill the enemy in person, Hong Wei was disappointed by Lu Wanqing's words, but he respected Lu Wanqing's status as a princess, and even more respected her as a young woman under [-]. At the time of the national crisis, she took on the burden of food and grass that no one in the court could accept. Hong Wei was from Tang Shao's former department, and he was talking about the unmarried daughter-in-law of his old boss in front of him. He retorted because he was careful.Not wanting to lose Tang Han's ability in the heart of his prospective daughter-in-law, Hong Wei actually still has some words to say: Rongle County King saves responsibility, and after receiving the seal of the commander of the army, he is usually the leader of the Shenwu Army, and he rarely personally Leading the soldiers, otherwise seeing him come out, the city would not be so excited.After chasing Emperor Hu and gaining the reputation of being an undead king, many people have not seen the prince kill the enemy yet.This is also due to the special status of General Xiao Tang, he had to keep him safe, so he ended up in person.

Indeed, since the Shenwu army below came out, the surrounding shouts have increased, and even the beating drums seem to have more strength.Seeing the black flag of the Shenwu Army rushing into the enemy line with murderous accompaniment to the accompaniment of "Rongle" and "Mighty" soaring straight into the sky, Lu Wanqing slightly raised her eyebrows.Don't blame the heavenly boy!The army is the place where strength is most respected, and the soldiers at the head of the city can't fake it.Hong Wei is also an old man in the army, and he has directly cooperated with Jun Yiyu in the Guyuan night battle. The praise from his mouth is trustworthy.Your Majesty really dares to use people well. No wonder he was allowed to see Tang Shao, and then gave him a secret edict, placing the chips of the country's destiny on the young man!

"What's the explanation for the Immortal King?" I didn't know that Lu Wanqing admired him, but Jun Tianxi just followed his heart and asked his doubts.

Hong Wei looked back strangely, and looked around behind Lu Wanqing.The maids of Princess Minjia are weird. The master entered the army den generously, but they wore veils instead, especially the one who asked the question. Her exposed eyes were clearly not on me, which seemed a bit compelling. .Sighing secretly that Princess Minjia is not simple, and even the maid beside her is not ordinary, Hong Wei replied politely: "This aunt is in front of Princess Minjia, didn't you hear that the King Rongle of our Dahua got it from a barbarian?" The reputation of the ghost face king and the undead king? The emperor of the Hu thief had a feud with the prince. When he heard that the prince was on the battlefield, he offered a heavy reward for the prince's head. Plum Blossom Spear, the prince was already wearing a mask when he went into battle. It was obviously a silver mask that entered the battle, but when he came out, he was dyed blood red. Tsk tsk, that color is so majestic! The prince was gradually called by the barbarians. Ghost Face King, as for Undead King..."

Thinking that he had blunted three sabers in Gu Yuan, Hong Wei paused in recollection, and then continued: "Gu Yuan laid down Hu Bing at night, and later the prince chased Hari Qiaolu for a few days, and even chased back Ji Jian Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to stand here now. Jianzhou was lost by the barbarians, and we took it back when it became an isolated land. I don’t even mention it. Then Jizhou was lost by Hari Qiaolu himself, hehe , no wonder Hari Qiaolu is stupid, I heard that the prince almost captured him several times, and then he wanted to escape to Ji'an, who would have thought that the prince was so desperate that he would chase after him even if he was hit by an arrow. I entered the city. It’s a pity that I was too tired to move in Guyuan, so I couldn’t follow him. Hey, Undead King, I usually look at a very kind young master. I haven’t seen him work so hard before, and I don’t know what happened to Hari Qiaolu. I offended him." Shaking his head away from the deep gloating, Hong Wei stretched out his hands, "Princess, please watch, when those bearded dogs recognize the prince's mask, today's battle will soon be over. Their fear has not passed."

Seemingly to verify Hong Wei's words, the skill of speaking, the black and red sides recognized the army flag and joined forces, and quickly killed a large open space around them, and the barbarians in miscellaneous clothes began to retreat!

Lu Wanqing was fascinated by Hong Wei's words and the one-sided battle situation under her nose, and she was fascinated by the great victory the day before, but Jun Tianxi's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, was clenched tighter and tighter in Hong Wei's voice, until the joints were broken. Pale, with distinct roots.

The troops were called out, and the trumpet of victory aroused the monstrous "Long live Rongle", which made Lu Wanqing open her mouth in surprise after recovering from her senses, and felt that such cheers were not out of line under the exaggeration of the battlefield. Even so, she still endured She couldn't help sneaking a glance at Jun Tianxi, but fortunately, the voice of "Long live Dahua" was added to the colorful sounds from the upper and lower parts of the city, which relieved her of her worries.Fortunately, with His Majesty's demeanor, it's harmless if you want to come to Rongle for a long time.

"Haha, I just said that the prince will win soon. Princess, these brats are screaming all the time, so don't bother you. Please walk a few steps towards the top of the city, the city gate has sent someone to Announcement, if we go on, the prince and the others will almost come in."

Thinking that there is no rule for the king to welcome his ministers, Lu Wanqing shook her head and said: "No, I have never seen this kind of scene before, it's very interesting, just watch it here, and wait for King Rongle to come up."

Seeing Lu Wanqing's interested expression, she didn't look like she was deliberately putting on airs of a princess, Hong Wei was in a dilemma and didn't know how to speak.Counting it, Princess Minjia is considered to be the food and grass officer in the army, so why is there a food officer on top, waiting for the commander to come to see her?

"Princess, it's the same when walking and watching. Let's walk a few steps to the top of the city."

Hearing the sound, Lu Wanqing looked at Jun Tianxi in surprise, nodded hesitantly, "Alright."

……

"My lord, should I not go?"

Under the booing of the surroundings, Tang Han was half-pushed by Jun Yiyu and dragged up to the city tower. When he stepped on the city wall, he retreated. It was a rare thing in the army to adjust his mood. Everyone was waiting to see a good show. Where will let him go.Before Jun Yiyu could speak, someone laughed and said, "General Xiao Tang, aren't you shy?"

"Go, go, I'm a big man, why are you ashamed, why are you ashamed!"

"General, if you're not shy, go ahead, don't be a mother-in-law!"

"No, Princess Minjia and I are just engaged. It's inappropriate to meet before going through the door, really inappropriate."

"It's not that I haven't seen it before, there is something inappropriate."

"That's right, the army doesn't pay attention to these things, and the princess is not an ordinary girl. General Tang, you can go!"

"That's right, the princess has come to Jian'an generously, so she is not afraid to see you, General Tang, don't be shy!"

……

Perhaps it was the relaxation after the victory. A group of generals saw that Tang Han's black skin was starting to turn red, and they just thought it was funny, and the jokes became more and more insignificant. The king of Zuo Rongle County is usually not very well-behaved, and General Tang is easy to talk .

"Then let me go to the military doctor first. I was injured just now. Look at my arm. It's really hurt! It's really hurt!"

Every time he came down from the battlefield, Jun Yiyu felt a little bored in his heart. After walking this way, he got better, and he was infected with the laughter around him, "Tang Han, I know that this injury is not a big deal for you. What, I’ve come here, I’ve seen the person in purple in front of me, you’d better go on, don’t throw it in front of Princess Minjia...” Throwing a bottle of golden sore medicine to Tang Han, Jun Yiyu turned around, unintentionally When she caught sight of the woman in white behind Lu Wanqing, she froze, and her banter with a smile came to an abrupt end.

Xi'er... Even through the veil, Jun Yiyu recognized Jun Tianxi at a glance, and instinctively took a step forward driven by surprise.

Ayu... Through the silver-white visor, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but the joy of reuniting after a long absence was not difficult to perceive from his rapid footsteps.

Jun Tianxi looked at Jun Yiyu approaching in a daze, and he seemed to have returned to today two years ago. Even if he changed to the dull Xuanjia, he was still the same as the Dragon Boat Festival that year, when he tied the colorful long-lived thread on her wrist, and held it in her palm. The spirited youth who put down the fragrant white jade ball.It was as if time and space were revolving, they still stayed in Shangyuan of the previous year, but her ghost mask was snatched away by him by tricks.So what?The scorching summer wind blowing on the city wall seemed to be replaced by the gentle wind of that night, which made Jun Tianxi unable to help following...the corners of his eyes were tender.
