Zhi Xuan

Zhixuan and his party set off from the Western Capital City. On the way, they encountered three heavy snowfalls, the road was blocked, and they had to slow down.By the time the team arrived at the frontier, it was already five days later than the agreed date.

At that time, the cold wind howled, the sky was covered with snow, and the sky and the earth were all silvery white.

The stone stele engraved with the boundary text was covered by snow, mixed with snow hills, it was already difficult to recognize.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao's team had already arrived and set up camp in the outskirts. Thousands of tents were scattered in the snow, which was spectacular from a distance.

The cavalry who explored the way rode their horses back, and white mist was sprayed from the mouths and noses of the men and horses. The cold wind blew past, and it condensed into frost in an instant.

"My lord, the frontier is the frontier!"

The team was less than ten miles away from the frontier, and Zhao Hao in the camp also got the news, and immediately sent an order to go out of the camp to meet them.

The chariot rolled over the snow, leaving two deep ruts. Zhi Xuan sat in the car, holding the stove in his hand, still unable to resist the cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door.

Hearing the report from the cavalry, knowing that the destination is not far ahead, Zhi Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This year's snow is extraordinarily heavy, and the weather is extraordinarily cold. Even if it is like this in the Central Plains, one can imagine how difficult life is in the grasslands.

He was very fortunate to send Luo Gong to Liangdi.This man has strong wrists, strong military skills, and he is not far behind in governance. Under his leadership, almost all the soldiers in Liangdi are soldiers.

Nowadays, it is difficult to see large Rong tribes around Liangdi, and the small tribes are too honest.With the material support of Fengdi and Zhidi, even if there is a snowstorm and the grassland tribes invade on a large scale, Liangdi will be impenetrable, and it will not be easy for the Rong people to step into the border, let alone go south from here.

Zhi Xuan intends to train troops, and this time he went north to the grasslands to collect [-] new troops.

The clans seemed to have the same plan, ranging from dozens or hundreds to thousands, each of which dispatched elite soldiers and strong-armed soldiers to follow Zhi Xuan to the north.

Zhixuan promised that each family can enclose land in the grassland, no matter whether it is a big clan or a small clan, it is not a small temptation.

Before I finished the fight, I left, because there was no foothold on the grassland, and it was troublesome to occupy it.It is not cost-effective to rely solely on the family to develop, and basically the gains outweigh the losses.Now the monarch takes the lead to build a city on the grassland and plans to station troops for a long time, so as to relieve the worries of all families.If you don't know how to seize opportunities, it's really a donkey's hoof.

Pathfinder knights galloped back and forth, and the snow-shrouded camp could already be seen ahead.

Zhi Xuan pushed the car door open, let the cold wind hit his face, and ordered the team to speed up.

"speed!"

The knights ran on both sides of the team, with triangular black flags on their backs, and kept shouting loudly, conveying Zhi Xuan's orders.

Accompanied by the command, the driver waved the reins vigorously, and the horse neighed.

With the rolling of wheels and the sound of hooves, tens of thousands of people formed a long black dragon and galloped forward.

The horn sounded in the camp, and the next moment the camp gates opened wide, and Bei'an soldiers came out in a file, divided into different phalanxes, and stood in front of the camp.

Behind the soldiers are the chariots of the clan, the shafts and body of the chariots are all fiery red, which is particularly eye-catching in the silver and white everywhere.

The sound of the horn continued, desolate and distant.

Not long after, there were voices of harmony in the snow, converging with each other, seeming to resonate, but also seeming to be fighting for the front.

The black banner appeared first, followed by the mighty and majestic cavalry, and the strutting soldiers.

During the march, the soldiers and cavalry separated left and right, guarding a black chariot.

Sitting in the car, Zhi Xuan looked at the team in front of him through the snow, and he could lock on to Zhao Hao almost at a glance.

A scarlet robe, a crown of jade-carved hair, a cloak on the shoulders, and a scarlet fur around the neckline.The pearls inlaid in the hairband are embellished on it, which further complements his jade quality, which is unparalleled in nobility.

For the two countries, this marriage is very important and cannot be neglected at all.

Just a few days ago, Zhao Hao took over the Qing seal and officially became one of the six ministers of Bei'an Kingdom.

The Marquis of Bei'an couldn't come in person, so according to the etiquette, he sent his son Yuan and many high officials to arrive at the border a few days in advance, both to watch the ceremony and to build momentum.

Bei'anhou's original intention was that his son's marriage partner was the monarch, and he couldn't lose face or face.In any case, we must stand up to ensure the son's future family status.

Before leaving, Shi Zizhen was told repeatedly by the Marquis of Bei'an, talking over and over for a full hour, the effect was comparable to brainwashing.When he led the team to the frontier, saw Zhao Hao, and conveyed the meaning of the Marquis of Bei'an, the two brothers were relatively silent.

After a long time, the two sighed each other, Zhao Hao's face was expressionless, Shi Zizhen pinched his forehead.

In any case, it's my dear father!

If my father is like this, what else can I do, of course I can only accept it.

It is worth mentioning that the young master X is also in the frontier.

Mrs. Mo's condition could not be delayed any longer. Seeing that the interval between attacks was getting shorter and shorter, but the duration of attacks was getting longer and longer. The doctors sent by the capital city were helpless.

To this day, the couple may not still have much affection. Facing Mrs. Mo, Young Master X would occasionally feel afraid.But the two are inseparable. No matter what she thinks in her heart, Mrs. Mo must live on.

Regarding the arrival of Young Master Xun, Young Master Hao didn't say much.

Shi Ziyuan understood his intention of coming, shook his head lightly, and said: "If I knew today, why bother?"

Young Master Xun's face was flushed, but he didn't make any excuses after all.

In the eyes of the clan, he is an example of lax family management and lack of self-cultivation.No matter how many excuses there are, it is useless, it is better not to say anything.

Seeing Gong Zixuan's reaction, Shi Zixuan was a little surprised.

In just a few months, Gongzi X has changed a lot.

Whether it was awakening suddenly or acting, he couldn't say for the time being.Even if it is acting, if you can persist in acting, it may not be a bad thing.

In order to welcome the team of Nishihara Kingdom, the three brothers appeared in front of the camp together.Shi Zixuan and Zhao Hao walked side by side, only separated by a horse's head.Young Master Xun walked on the left side of Zhao Hao, keeping half a horse's distance away from Zhao Hao.

Doctors of Bei'an Guoqing drove on the left and right respectively, all dressed in luxurious clothes, with swords hanging from their waists, and pearls and jade ornaments.

The distance between the two sides approached, the chariot stopped, and the sound of the horn stopped at the same time.

Zhi Xuan stepped out of the chariot and stood facing the wind, his robe sleeves were blown up by the wind, the black cloak was lifted up inside, and the divine bird embroidered with gold thread was faintly visible.

Opposite him, Zhao Hao and Shi Zixuan walked out of the team.

As Zhixuan was the king of the Xiyuan Kingdom, it was only natural for the other party to come forward to pay respects.

Shi Zixuan and Zhao Hao are compatriots of the same mother, not much different in age, both tall and straight, handsome and extraordinary.According to the custom of the Bei'an Kingdom, both of them were covered in scarlet, adorned with jade and jewels, and the crown rope belt was inlaid with pearls, showing luxury.

However, when the two came together, Zhi Xuan was still attracted by Zhao Hao.

Compared with hunting, Zhao Hao's robes and accessories are obviously different. The sleeves and neckline are no longer the mountain and river patterns that symbolize the son-in-law, but the patterns that represent the family. According to Qing's class, they are woven with gold thread, which is unique.

The shape of the jade crown has also been changed, with large pearls inlaid on the crown belt.

The most obvious point is that there is a jade ornament on his right ear. It is not the jade ring that is commonly seen among doctors, but a jade buckle, with twisted gold threads falling down.

Zhi Xuan stared intently, and unconsciously touched his earlobe.

Aware of Zhi Xuan's reaction, Zhao Hao's eyes burst into a smile.

Shi Ziyu looked at his brother without any trace, and thought to himself, although his father was sometimes unreliable, but there was a saying that was right, his brother was so good-looking that few people could match him.That alone makes the marriage very strong.

Thinking of this, Shi Ziyuan suddenly changed his mind, he is not bad in appearance, why do he seldom hear his father praise him?

Heart congestion.

The chariot stopped, and Shi Zixuan and Zhao Hao got out of the chariot to salute.

Zhi Xuan returned the gift in the car.

There is no need to send a salute to this meeting, the doctor and the soldier are in the formation, the witches of both sides pray together, light a bonfire in front of the formation, and offer a hundred cattle and sheep to the gods.

The sheep's head and the cow's head are thrown into the fire. The lamb and beef will not be wasted. They will be cooked in a large pot and distributed to the soldiers of both sides.

After the prayer ceremony was over, everyone from Bei'an Kingdom returned to camp, and the team from Xiyuan Kingdom began to build their camp.

The heavy snow that had been falling all day began to shrink, which saved a lot of trouble for the working slaves.

The fence around the camp was completed first, and inside the fence, tents rose from the ground, radiating outward in a ring shape.With the clans as the center, smaller circles were formed within the big ring to jointly defend Zhixuan's tent.

Zhao Hao's subordinates have seen the working speed of the Zhidi people. Although the speed of camping is fast, it is still a bit slower than in memory. It is obvious that the clan is holding back.

The Bei'an Guo clan had never witnessed it with their own eyes, and they didn't know the high efficiency of the Zhidi people.

The method of building the camp opposite, the tools used and the layout of the camp all made their eyes shine.

Especially the layout of the camp, the officials who are good at military gathered together, they all thought that it was extremely difficult to break through such a camp, and if they were not careful, they would sink into it, fall into the encirclement, and be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

After the construction of the camp was completed, following the etiquette, the clansmen of the two sides met and submitted their credentials to each other.A historian followed the whole process and recorded all the details in detail.

There are as many as three historians in the Xiyuan Kingdom, and the Bei'an Kingdom is no exception. One of them is a familiar face, and it is the words that once let go of himself and made many colleagues look at him.

After the submission of the letter of credence was completed, the clan and the historian returned to the camp and presented the letter to Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao.

Zhi Xuan read the content and thought there was no problem, so he ordered the whole battalion to rest early, take a rest for a day, and set off for the north the day after tomorrow.

The doctor in charge of logistics went down to make arrangements. Zhi Xuan yawned and sat down on the couch. He was unbuttoning his belt when he suddenly remembered something and immediately raised his voice, "Come on!"

A servant walked into the tent and asked for instructions: "What is your order?"

"Go ask Doctor Sang and ask him to take this to the opposite camp." Zhi Xuan took out a jade ring and a scroll of bamboo slips, and asked the servants to give them to Doctor Sang.

The servant retreated under orders and hurried to Sang's tent.

In Zhao Hao's camp, the clan members presented the letter of credence and withdrew from the big tent, and almost collided with the young master X who rushed over.

Young Master X had something on his mind, so he didn't have time to talk to his clan, so he passed beside him, raised his hand and raised the curtain.

Zhao Hao and Shi Zizhen were in the tent together, in front of them was the letter of credence brought back by the clan.

Hearing the sound, the two looked up at the same time, and saw Young Master Xun rushing in from outside the tent.

It turned out that not only the son Xing was in the camp, but Mrs. Mo was also brought along by him, just to see the doctor beside Zhi Xuan as soon as possible.

During the day, everything was fine, and she didn't want to eat any food. Mrs. Mo suddenly fell ill, and it was more severe than before. She was trembling with pain, and her face was pale.

Young master X was really helpless, so he could only ask Zhao Hao for help.

There is no chance during the day, and it is impossible for him to get close to Zhi Xuan in the middle of the ceremony.I was thinking of asking for a meeting tomorrow, but the situation is critical, even if I am rude, there is nothing I can do.

"Brother, help!" Young Master Xun was so anxious that he was a little incoherent.

Zhao Hao's heart sank, and just as he was about to speak, it was reported outside the tent that a doctor had come with a jade ring and a letter, saying that it was Zhi Xuan's order.

Hearing this, Young Master Yu was overjoyed, excitedly cupped his hands to Zhao Hao, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, brother!"

He thought it was Zhao Hao's arrangement in advance, otherwise he would be so grateful for how he came so quickly.

Shi Zixuan raised an eyebrow at Zhao Hao, with doubts in his eyes.

He and Zhao Hao met Zhixuan together, but no brother mentioned this matter.Why did the monarch of Xiyuan suddenly send a doctor here?

Ignoring Shi Zixuan's doubts, Zhao Hao thought of Zhi Xuan's eyes on him, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Shi Zixuan looked at Zhao Hao, his doubts did not diminish, and he came up with a strange idea, inexplicably felt that brother's smile was a little... rippling?
