King Lingyu

It is said that Sima Lingyu and the others walked the four-day journey of Yimapingchuan, but they were a little tired, but there were no major ups and downs.But at noon on the fifth day, they could already see the continuous mountain peaks ahead.

"My lord," Li Ming came over to report to Sima Lingyu, "The mountain in front stretches for several miles, it's too long, if you want to continue the journey, you can only climb over this mountain, if you go around it, you may have to spend more than a week, But it only takes three days at most to cross this mountain, and the mountain is not steep, and horses can climb it, you see we are-"

Sima Lingyu looked at it from a distance, and there were really mountains and mountains, and the edges could not be seen on both sides. "It saves time to turn over, but we have to cross the river first!" More than 1000 people will be transported by boat, and it will take a long time!

There is a river with a width of more than 50 meters winding at the foot of the mountain. Although the river is not too wide, it must be several meters deep, and people or horses cannot cross it.There are two or three boats moored by the river.

"My lord," Li Ming saw that Sima Lingyu was hesitant, and continued, "These thousand elite soldiers are all skilled, and they can easily pass by using light kung fu. It's just that the food, horses, and people who don't know martial arts we brought need to be used. Ship it over."

Sima Lingyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, he didn't expect to have such good skills with the people accompanying him, "That's great!"

Li Ming sent people to the nearby villages to find the boatman, and it turned out that the three small boats moored by the river were the only means of crossing the river.Now the food and grass they brought may have to be transported for half a day.

When Sima Lingyu and the others came to the river, she got off the horse and approached the carriage of the eldest princess.She lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said to the eldest princess inside, "Su Ying, did you see that we have to climb over the mountain ahead, but we have to cross this river first."

The eldest princess also saw the not too wide river in front of the mountain at a glance. She got off the carriage and saw that the soldiers had started to cross the river one by one.There are also three small boats that shuttle food, grass and horses on both sides of the river one after another.

"Is the eunuch planning to let Su Ying cross the river with those horses?" the Eldest Princess asked.

Sima Lingyu originally wanted to let people who don't know martial arts go with the boat, but after being asked by the eldest princess, he also felt that something was wrong, so others would just let it go.

"Then..." Sima Lingyu thought for a while, "I'll take you there, Su Ying, aren't you afraid?"

The eldest princess knew that her son-in-law also wanted to use lightness kung fu, so she said, "Of course I'm not afraid!"

"Alright then," Sima Lingyu explained to the eldest princess's maid, Hong'er, "I will take the eldest princess there, and you can join us with the boat later!"

Hong'er agreed, she knew that her brother-in-law didn't know that she knew kung fu, she glanced at the eldest princess, and saw that the eldest princess winked at her, meaning that she would not let her reveal her martial arts.

The eldest princess has her own thoughts, she is not afraid of anything else, she just thinks that if Sima Lingyu knows that her maid Hong'er knows martial arts, and Hong'er is by her side every day, Sima Lingyu will relax her attitude towards her. Protection, because Hong'er has martial arts, she can rest assured that she won't take care of her too much.

The eldest princess walked up to Sima Lingyu, put her arms around Sima Lingyu's neck, and waited for Sima Lingyu to pick her up and "fly" across the river.

Sima Lingyu was a little embarrassed by the eldest princess's actions, so many pairs of eyes were watching!

Sima Lingyu coughed dryly twice, "Su Ying, stay close to me, don't let go, just don't look down!"

Sima Lingyu hugged the eldest princess by the waist, and ran towards the river, and then jumped up. The eldest princess was very obedient, and when the two of them left the ground, she clung tightly to Sima Lingyu's arms, not daring to move.

Although the eldest princess said that she was not afraid just now, crossing the river with ease is not as simple as "flying" as she thought.

After all, the river was more than [-] meters wide, and it was impossible to jump across it in one go. Sima Lingyu had to step on the water a few times in the middle of the river, and continued to move forward with the help of a little rebound from the water.

Every time when she landed on the surface of the water and stepped on the water, Sima Lingyu could clearly feel that the muscles of the eldest princess in her arms were tense, and she was getting closer to her, and her eyes were always tightly closed. This feeling of weightlessness from time to time made her feel both Strange and scary.

Sima Lingyu smiled, who said just now that he was not afraid.

On the other side of the river, Sima Lingyu put down the eldest princess.The eldest princess seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing her like that, Sima Lingyu deliberately asked, "Is it exciting?"

The eldest princess gave Sima Lingyu a coquettish look, but said nothing.This guy must have noticed her embarrassment just now and deliberately teased her.

The two turned around and found that Jingwen Gege also "flyed" over. The eldest princess couldn't help saying in her heart that Jingwen Gege's kung fu was so good, and such a wide river could "fly" across it. Meng Shan, I'm afraid she deliberately tricked her son-in-law into saving her life by tricking her.

Of course the eldest princess couldn't imagine how dangerous it was at that time, so she didn't have a good impression of Jingwen Gege after thinking so.

It was the first time for Jingwen Gege to see the eldest princess after traveling with her for so long. This was also the first time she observed the eldest princess so closely. She had seen her at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before, but they were all far away.

Although the eldest princess is also dressed in men's clothes, she is very shy in front of Sima Lingyu. It can be seen that she likes brother Lingyu very much.

Seeing Jingwen Gege, the eldest princess ignored her and turned to look at the mountain in front of her.And Jingwengege saw that the eldest princess was like this, so she couldn't take the initiative to say anything.

Sima Lingyu was afraid that Jingwen would be embarrassed, so he asked, "Brother Jingwen, are you used to it these days? I'm so busy with my brother that I didn't take care of you!"

Jing Wen giggled, "I'm fine, brother Ling Yu, you don't have to be polite, don't worry, I can still walk this way."

Although Jingwen Gege has only studied martial arts for a few months in Nanshan, she is very talented in martial arts and has made rapid progress. With the increase in skill, her physique is also getting stronger day by day, so as she said, this little way is nothing.

Just now, many people saw the scene where the son-in-law crossed the river with the eldest princess in his arms. Everyone didn't say anything, but they all envied the love between the son-in-law and the eldest princess in their hearts.Another person also saw it, that is Li Ming, but what he thought was different from everyone else's.As a person who was born in martial arts, he was sensitive to see that Sima Lingyu's kung fu was not bad, even better than him.However, why have I never heard that Prince Jin knows martial arts, but everyone knows that the prince is romantic and affectionate?It seems that there must be something hidden in this.Before he went out to fight, Master Zhang told himself that he would protect the prince even if he had to risk his life. It seems that this person is not an ordinary son of the royal family who is flirtatious and dandy!

It is said that Li Ming commanded the soldiers to cross the river. Seeing that Sima Lingyu and the others had come, he said, "My lord, why don't you and the eldest princess be escorted up the mountain by the soldiers who have already crossed the river. There is an open space on the mountainside, enough for us to set up camp tonight. Yes, we'll meet there."

Li Ming looked at the Eldest Princess again, "I'm watching here, we must transport all the grain, grass and horses here, it will be dark in a while, the mountain road is not easy to walk, you and the Eldest Princess must go first!"

Speaking of which, Li Ming led a few horses, Sima Lingyu, the eldest princess, and Jingwen Gege each rode one, and several other soldiers, and set off on the road.

While Sima Lingyu and the others were walking, it was getting dark, and when they were halfway up the mountain, it was already completely dark.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night on the mountain, and it is very cold immediately after the sun sets.Since Sima Lingyu and the others came up first, the equipment and tents behind had not yet arrived, so they were halfway up the mountain without any shelter, letting the mountain wind blow.

Sima Lingyu saw that Jingwen Gege was fine, she was wandering around with a sword in her hand.

But Sima Lingyu saw that the eldest princess seemed a little cold, and she kept breathing to warm her hands.Sima Lingyu walked over, didn't say anything, just held the eldest princess's hands in his own, it was really cold.

This is the difference between those who practice qigong and those who do not. For those who practice qigong, there seems to be a switch in their bodies that automatically regulates their body temperature. , there is no internal force to do such a thing.

The eldest princess's hand was held in the palm of Sima Lingyu's, and she felt warmer immediately. The forehead is really careful.She looked at Sima Lingyu, she really wanted to get into her arms to keep warm, but she was really too embarrassed to do that.

"Don't worry, they should be here soon." Sima Lingyu comforted the eldest princess and said, "It will be fine after setting up the tent in a while."

The eldest princess nodded.

At this moment, Jing Wen could only hear Jing Wen yelling, "Brother Ling Yu, I found Flint, first find some branches to make a fire, and let the eldest princess warm herself!"

With the bonfire, it really wasn't so cold. The follow-up people who were rushing here, seeing the light of the fire, knew they were here, and they all arrived one after another.

Everyone settled down, finished eating, and when they were about to go to bed, Li Ming came over and said to Sima Lingyu with a smile, "My lord, everything is going well for us today. We have all the soldiers and horses, and there are not many of them!"

Sima Lingyu also smiled and said, "It's all thanks to General Li, you have a good command!"

"My lord, this is what my subordinates should do. My lord, rest early, I have to go on my way tomorrow, but be careful of the wild beasts in the mountains at night, but I will send someone to stay outside the tent at night, there should be no problem .”

When Sima Lingyu returned to the tent, he saw that the eldest princess was already lying down.

Seeing her coming in, the eldest princess greeted her, "Your son-in-law, you and General Li have finished discussing the matter!"

"Well," Sima Lingyu also took off his coat and got on the bed, "I will be able to leave the mountain in the next day at most."

As soon as Sima Lingyu lay down, the Eldest Princess came over, slipped into her arms, and lay her pillow on her arm, "Go to sleep, son-in-law, Su Ying is sleepy!"

"Well, go to sleep!" Sima Lingyu agreed, and also closed his eyes.

At night on the mountain, there seemed to be no other sounds except for the whistling mountain wind. After sleeping until midnight, Sima Lingyu heard a strange noise.

Sima Lingyu's hearing has been specially trained. Although she is not as good as Shunfeng, she can detect every sound within a mile.

Sima Lingyu opened her eyes but didn't move. She held her breath and listened with her ears up. She felt that something was slowly approaching. It seemed to be getting closer. There was a muffled sound, and a figure fell on the ground. On the door outside the tent.

Sima Lingyu sat up abruptly and yelled, "No!"
