Gu Qinglu withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air and turned to look at the terrified soldier.
"Why are you so flustered?"
The soldiers' faces turned pale, their fingers trembling as they pointed behind them. "The King of Mobei is here in person! He's already at the border between the two countries!"
Gu Qinglu's pupils trembled: "King of Mobei? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I once saw the King of Mobei on the battlefield. I was definitely not mistaken!"
The soldier looked confident. Although he had only met King Mobei once, King Mobei's figure had long been deeply engraved in his mind.
That man is so scary!!
Gu Qinglu pursed his lips, looked at the carriage in front of him with a complicated expression, then jumped on the horse and didn't mention rest anymore.
"Let's go!"
At Gu Qinglu's command, the marriage team set into action again.
"Princess."
Lu Wu clenched her handkerchief tightly, and her voice was trembling.
Rumor has it that the King of Mobei is tyrannical and cruel, and his methods of harming women are extremely despicable. He must have come here with bad intentions. If the princess...
Lu Wu didn't dare to think any further. She grabbed Jiang Jingyu's sleeve and said, "Princess, if the King of Mobei plots against you, you must hide behind me. I swear to protect you until my death!"
Jiang Jingyu smiled softly: "Don't worry, he won't do anything to me for the time being."
After digesting the memories in her mind, Jiang Jingyu also had some understanding of Huyan Ji. Although he had a violent temper, he was not the kind of person who would pick up a knife and kill people at the slightest disagreement.
He came to the border between the two countries today, he must have something to deal with.
Jiang Jingyu was not so narcissistic as to think that Huyan Ji came specially to pick her up. Most princesses who were married off came to suffer, not to enjoy happiness.
Jiang Jingyu looked calm, but Lu Wu was worried.
Gu Qinglu was as uneasy as Lu Wu.
Gu Qinglu sat on the horse's back, his knuckles turning white from holding the reins so tightly.
He pursed his thin lips, his vision flickering as he looked at the intersection ahead.
One confusion after another made him feel extremely uneasy.
What is Hu Yanji doing at the border between the two countries at this time?
Could it be that he was angry with Ayu because of the war between the two countries and wanted to kill her?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Qinglu's back stiffened and his whole body felt cold.
If Huyan Ji killed Ayu, the Empress and the Crown Prince would certainly persuade His Majesty to send troops to avenge Ayu. At that time, the two countries would go to war, Dayan would be defeated, and they, the ministers, would become prisoners.
If Your Majesty is not persuaded and Mobei asks for someone again, Your Majesty will most likely choose a woman from among the princes and nobles to marry.
Among these noble ladies, apart from Ayu, the Princess of Ningde, the one with the most noble status is Wanyi, the Princess of Lin'an!
No!
How could he watch Wan Yi marry someone else? !
No matter which result it is, it is not what Gu Qinglu wants.
After a few thoughts, Gu Qinglu led the marriage team to the border between the two countries.
Gu Qinglu gathered his thoughts and fixed his gaze directly on Huyan Ji.
He had never seen Huyan Ji before, but at a glance he was sure that the man riding on the horse in front of him was none other than the King of Mobei, Huyan Ji, who made the soldiers of Great Yan tremble in fear!
It's nothing, it's just that the aura that emanates from this man from the inside out is so intimidating that one can't help but want to crawl at his feet.
Gu Qinglu swallowed hard and quickly dismounted, "Your humble servant Gu Qinglu greets His Majesty the King of Mobei!"
Hu Yanji didn't even look at him. He looked straight at the carriage in front of him and said something nonsense.
"Where is Princess Ningde?"
Lu Wu's body stiffened and she subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Jingyu.
The King of Mobei really came to find the princess!
Jiang Jingyu was also stunned for a moment, then grabbed Lu Wu's arm and shook his head at her, motioning her to step aside.
"Princess……"
Lu Wu was forced to step aside and fell silent under Jiang Jingyu's gaze.
Seeing that the person in the carriage was taking a long time to come out, Huyan Ji frowned and was about to step forward when a soft voice came from inside the carriage.
"Ningde is flattered to be greeted personally by the Great Khan."
As the voice fell, a white and boneless jade hand stretched out from the carriage and lifted a corner of the curtain.
The next moment, Jiang Jingyu's face came into Huyan Ji's sight.
Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her appearance is as crystal clear as jade, like a crescent moon with a halo, like flowers and trees piled with snow, her posture is charming and elegant, her demeanor is gentle and graceful, and she is so beautiful that it is beyond words.
I thought Hu Yanji would be so captivated by her beauty that he couldn't take his eyes off her, but he frowned and said, "Are you Princess Ningde?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Jingyu nodded slightly, somewhat confused about Huyan Ji's thoughts.
Hu Yanji narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of contempt.
Could this Princess Ningde, who is as delicate as a flower and cannot carry anything on her shoulders or hands, be the noble lady of Mobei?
Haha, he must have had his head squeezed by the door to have such expectations of her!
The contempt in Huyan Ji's eyes was not concealed at all.
"Oh, Princess Ningde, nothing more than that!"
Hu Yanji left these words, turned his horse around and rode away, leaving everyone standing there in a daze, looking at each other.
Jiang Jingyu: “???”
No, you're leaving now?
She thought of dozens of possibilities, but she never imagined that Hu Yanji would come to the border between the two countries specifically to humiliate her.
Not only Jiang Jingyu was confused, but everyone else was confused too.
Isn't it said that the King of Mobei is cruel? Why is he acting so childish now, and even coming all the way to humiliate their princess? Could the rumors be wrong?
Gu Qinglu stared at Hu Yanji's back as if thinking about something.
He wanted to think about Hu Yanji's intention, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to look away.
