Chapter 64 Does the Emperor not trust General Huo?
People say he is useless, but he happens to be the person the emperor trusts the most at this moment.
Even many memorials to the court were usually handled and marked by Shen Qiu Nian.
Could it be that the Emperor doesn't trust General Huo?
Otherwise, why did we wait for so long but still not receive the imperial edict to attack the imperial city of Xijing?
At this time, Huo Xiao happened to see that the eldest princess would also be accompanying them, and asked him to arrange all matters for the eldest princess.
"The Princess?" Huo Xiao was shocked. "The Princess will accompany Lord Shen to the military camp."
"What?"
Wang Lingchuan and Fu Chenfeng were stunned.
After Huo Xiao was sure he was not mistaken, his shocked eyes softened slightly. "The princess is traveling in secret. Please do not make it known to the army. The emperor wants to place the princess in Ximen Town."
"Why does the princess come to the border instead of staying in Shengjing City? The battle at the border is very chaotic." Wan Lingchuan asked in confusion.
Fu Chenfeng seemed to have his own ideas. "Didn't you just hear General Huo say that Lord Shen was coming to the border? The princess has been in love with Lord Shen for a long time, so she must be here chasing after him."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. Otherwise, why would the princess, with her precious body, come to this bitter cold place like ours?"
"It's true that the Princess is deeply in love with Lord Shen. For him, she is willing to endure any hardship. Even if it's hard, we still have to welcome him."
"Lord Shen is the emperor's confidant, knowledgeable and talented, and also handsome. Any young lady from aristocratic family or noble lady in the capital who has seen him would secretly fall in love with him. It's normal for the eldest princess to like him..."
The two were talking excitedly when a cold snort suddenly came from behind them, "What is the crime of talking about the princess behind her back?"
Wan Lingchuan and Fu Chenfeng were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they both knelt on the ground, "I admit my mistake."
"Go and receive your punishment."
Huo Xiao looked down at them, the letter paper between his fingertips crumpled into a ball.
Ride in a carriage together.
He was originally a little bit happy in his heart, thinking that the princess came for him, but all his fantasies vanished into thin air when he saw these words.
The letter said that Lord Shen and the eldest princess's carriages would stop fifteen miles outside the west gate to separate from the reinforcements and wait for support.
Since the princess was coming, natural arrangements had to be made. Huo Xiao ordered people to clean the military tents and expanded the garrison area outside the tents by fifty meters.
Afterwards, he took people to Ximen Town and cleaned the general's mansion inside and out, even replacing all the beds and mattresses with new ones, before returning to the tent.
Such a big move naturally could not be hidden from the spies in Xijing.
"Second Prince, Huo Xiao has been having people sweep the barracks these past two days, and he's even had quilts taken out to be washed and aired. I don't know what he's up to, and I haven't figured it out yet."
Sang Ye sat in the palace of Xijing Imperial City, playing with the ring on his finger, and a devilish smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's really interesting."
The adjutant standing nearby couldn't help but laugh, "Could it be that the bastard emperor of Shengjing is still worried about the last battle five years ago and doesn't dare to let them attack the imperial city directly, so he just lets them stay here."
Sang Ye paused while turning the ring on his finger. "Stay? Why does it feel like you're going to meet someone important?"
at the same time.
Su Yunyao's carriage was already fifteen miles outside the West Gate.
"We're here, we're here, we're finally here." Coral lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside the Great Wall, and said excitedly.
"arrive?"
Su Yunyao straightened up slightly, feeling hopeless.
The original owner's body was as fragile as paper. If she had a body made of steel, she wouldn't have been almost broken after sleeping in a carriage for four days.
She now has some understanding of what it means to be born rich.
At the other end of the carriage, across the bed sheet, Shen Qiu Nian suddenly spoke, "Princess, according to the Emperor's order, I have escorted you here, and we will separate. Once the contact arrives, I will follow the reinforcements to the military camp."
separate?
There are such good things.
The listless Su Yunyao suddenly sat up with a somersault as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
She pulled back the bed sheet with a swish. "Military affairs are urgent and must not be delayed. Please go down quickly."
Shen Qiunian: ...
Ji Yan's voice came from outside the carriage, "Princess, Lord Shen, it would be too conspicuous for the army to stop here. I believe the people from the military camp will arrive soon. Lord Shen, please get off the carriage and follow the army ahead."
Chen Qiu Nian's eyes darkened.
He was hesitating when Su Yunyao spoke again, "Go down quickly, didn't you hear what General Ji said?"
"The contact person hasn't arrived yet." Chen Qiu Nian's expression was as cold and calm as ever.
"Didn't your royal brother send the imperial guards and secret guards to protect me? Besides, my itinerary has nothing to do with the army. How could the army's itinerary be delayed because of me?" Su Yunyao said seriously.
Shen Qiu Nian stared at her in silence for a second, then turned and got off the carriage.
Although it is only fifteen miles away from Ximen Pass, it is also the territory of Daxia. There are a thousand marching guards and secret guards to protect it. The spies in Xijing will certainly not dare to act rashly.
As soon as the army left, Su Yunyao couldn't wait to get off the carriage.
The carriage was originally quite large, but after being divided into two, it became cramped to stay inside.
She stretched lazily.
Two people stumbled over not far away.
The man walking in front seemed to have been seriously injured and could no longer stand up.
The woman walked half a step behind him, as if she wanted to reach out to help her, but was hesitant.
The guards beside the carriage were instantly on guard. Their leader leaped forward and stood in front of her. "Princess, please get on the carriage first..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman ran over and knelt down in front of her.
"Miss, Miss, please do me a favor and lend me your carriage. Our young master is really dying."
The leader of the imperial guards rejected it outright, "No."
Su Yunyao raised her hand to stop him, and half of her body moved sideways from behind him. "Why is he injured so badly?"
The woman cried as she spoke, "To answer my question, young lady, there has been a lot of chaos at Ximenguan recently. Just now, a group of soldiers tried to molest me, so our young master got into a fight with them and was injured like this."
After the woman finished speaking, she kowtowed several times.
"Please, Miss, please lend me the carriage. Our young master is seriously injured. If he were to walk to Ximen Town, he would surely die."
After saying that, she took off all the valuable things on her head and body and held them in front of Su Yunyao.
"I know this amount of money is far from enough for Miss's carriage. I will definitely send enough gold and silver to Miss's house in the future."
Su Yunyao walked around her and went towards the injured man.
The imperial guards wanted to follow, but Su She raised her hand to stop them.
The man was lying on the ground with a pale face, seemingly unconscious.
The blood soaking his black robe wasn't so noticeable, but the seven or eight bloody wounds were indeed shocking when viewed up close.
