The cold and aloof Prince Ning, who was neither loved by his father nor his mother, was forced into an arranged marriage by the old emperor who despised him. The emperor chose a foolish young man t...
Chapter 94 General Lanfeng
They stayed in the woods for another two nights, during which time the two had no time to argue or anything.
Sun Shuo carried Liang Xiu on his back and walked towards the edge of the woods.
Liang Xiuzhu was responsible for tying cloth belts around the trees on his back.
This will make it easier for people who come to rescue them to know their location.
Hard work pays off, on the fifth day they were trapped.
Zhao Fangye's men finally found them by following the traces they left behind.
"Adjutant Sun!" A group of people saw the two of them and immediately rushed over: "We finally found you."
As they were talking, their eyes paused and looked at the person on Sun Shuo's back: "Who is this Adjutant Sun?"
The two of them were in a very miserable state in the woods these past few days. Liang Xiuzhu's clothes were torn into tatters, and if you didn't know, you would have thought he was a beggar picked up by Sun Shuo.
"He's injured, get out now. We'll talk later."
Now was not the time for idle chat, so he walked out without further explanation, carrying Liang Xiuzhu on his back.
Finally they met up with Prince Ning's men and they had a pretty good time over the next few days. They heard that Zhao Fangye and his men were about to arrive in the northwest.
Sun Shuo left earlier than Zhao Fangye and his companions and had already entered the northwest. In addition, Zhao Fangye and his companions stayed in Hanzhou for quite some time.
Counting the days, they will reach the northwest and reunite with Prince Ning in a dozen days.
Not daring to delay, Sun Shuo took Liang Xiuzhu and headed northwest.
A group of people were riding horses at full speed, but Liang Xiuzhu didn't know how to ride a horse and his foot was injured. Along the way, Sun Shuo took him on a horse and carried him up and down.
After tidying himself up, Liang Xiuzhu's face became more eye-catching. He had no choice but to put on his hood.
The people who were traveling with him looked at Sun Shuo and saw how he took good care of him along the way, with mockery in their eyes. I didn't expect Adjutant Sun to have such a tender side.
After sitting in the carriage for a month, Song Huaixi felt a little tired. Leaning on Zhao Fangye's shoulder, she played with his hair.
Noticing his boredom, she reached out and touched his head to comfort him: "Are you tired, Huaixi? It will be here in a few days."
Song Huaixi nodded, but his expression was a little gloomy. Seeing him like this, Zhao Fangye took out a jar of candied cherries from the secret compartment of the small table.
"Try it? It's not very sweet." Zhao Fangye picked up one and put it on his lips to coax him.
"cherry!"
When he saw what was in his mouth, Song Huaixi's eyes lit up and he sat up straight immediately.
The food on the march was dry and hard to swallow.
There is actually fruit to eat.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s sweet or not, it’s great to have something to eat here. I opened my mouth and took one. The sour and sweet taste immediately stimulated my taste buds.
Saliva starts to secrete in the mouth.
Cherries are spring fruits and are not easy to preserve. It was quite common in the capital city, but it was rare to see it in the arid northwest.
Song Huaixi was immediately delighted and asked, "Where did this come from? It's delicious!"
Zhao Fangye smiled and did not answer, saying lovingly: "As long as Huaixi likes it."
He sent someone to buy this at full speed from a city in the northwest. Such a small jar is a rare item in the northwest and is worth a lot of silver.
The march route was sparsely populated, and Song Huaixi did not eat well, and he had become somewhat thinner in the past few days. Zhao Fangye couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw this.
He should be the Song family's beloved young master. I have been through many hardships since I married him. Zhao Fangye never cares about the cost as long as it can make him happy.
Holding the jar, Song Huaixi's cheeks were bulging with food, and he would feed Zhao Fangye one from time to time. His face was full of joy.
Seeing how contented he was while eating, Zhao Fangye supported his jaw and thought that this guy was really easy to satisfy. A jar of preserves was enough to make him so happy.
Reaching out and stroking the sugar stains on the corners of his mouth, Zhao Fangye said softly: "Don't be greedy, eat slowly."
"Uh-huh!"
Song Huaixi was very obedient and secretly said to himself, "Just eat one more."
Before Zhao Fangye could say anything else, he was interrupted by the report from his subordinates outside the carriage.
The subordinate rode his horse and knocked on the window of the carriage: "Your Highness, General Lan Feng said in the front that he came specially to greet you, Your Highness."
Zhao Fangye raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "I understand. Let her come to see me."
"yes!"
Zhao Fangye leaned on the soft pillow, his light-colored eyes containing some complicated emotions. Song Huaixi didn't eat any more candied fruit. Cover the jar and set aside.
There was some curiosity in his eyes. Who was the general they were talking about just now?
The next moment, a clear female voice came into the carriage.
Sikou Lanfeng dismounted and knelt in front of the carriage: "Your servant Sikou Lanfeng leads the army to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Ning!"
Zhao Fangye reached out and lifted the car curtain, his narrow eyes cast without any emotion on the kneeling man.
Song Huaixi also looked over curiously through the drawn curtain.
The man was wearing silver armor and had long black hair tied up in a neat ponytail. He was kneeling on the ground and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
Zhao Fangye spoke in a light and caring voice, "Thank you for your help, General Lan Feng, please don't be polite. Is the old general in good health?"
Sikou Lanfeng stood up, his heroic face showing a sharp and resolute look. The nose is straight and the lips are rosy. Even a set of armor could not hide her outstanding appearance.
It is not a delicate beauty, but a tough, confident and sharp beauty. She is very powerful and an admirable heroine.
Song Huaixi couldn't help but open his eyes wide and stared in a trance.
So awesome! Girls can also be generals!
He had never seen such a heroic girl. She had a special temperament, completely different from other women he had met.
"My father is in good health. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Lan Feng clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhao Fangye to show his respect. When he looked up, he met a pair of dark eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately realized that this was the Princess Ning. This made King Ning openly rebel for him. She thought it would be a very beautiful person.
Now it seems that she is indeed good-looking, but not to the extent of being stunningly beautiful. On the contrary, it looks very simple.
Retracting his thoughts, Lan Feng's eyes were bright, and he said generously with a smile on his face: "This must be the Princess Ning, it's our first meeting. Are you used to coming to the Northwest?"
"Yeah. Habit."
Seeing that she suddenly asked him, Song Huaixi didn't know how to answer and could only nod.
I felt a little more favorable towards her.
After chatting with Zhao Fangye about military matters for a while, Lan Feng led his troops to clear the way.
Zhao Fangye turned around and saw Song Huaixi still leaning on the window looking at her, so he pinched his waist and pulled him back into his arms.
With a jealous tone, she said sourly: "From just now, Huaixi's eyes have been glued to her. Could it be that Huaixi likes her?"
Song Huaixi nodded and saw Zhao Fangye's face darken instantly.
She was so scared that she quickly shook her head and explained: "No, I think she is amazing! I like Zhao Fangye the most, not her."
