Chapter 768 Have you seen the Bloody Battle Army?
Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I didn't hear it clearly. I was busy treating the third princess at the time, so I didn't pay attention to other things."
The Third Princess expressed her gratitude, "I never thought the princess's medical skills had reached such an extraordinary level. It's amazing! Thank you so much. The princess is truly an extraordinary woman. I wish I could have half of her charm. I'm so envious."
"Third Princess, don't underestimate yourself. You are different from others." Jiang Lianzhu praised back.
The third princess's expression stiffened a little.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency. Your Excellency is too kind."
Then he changed the subject and talked about something else.
Because of the poisoning incident, the relationship between the Third Princess and Jiang Lianzhu became closer. The Third Princess was not as shy as before, and often ate with Jiang Lianzhu. Sometimes she even invited Jiang Lianzhu to sleep in the same tent with her, and no accidents happened again.
In this way, we arrived at the border city of Da'an Kingdom.
This place is in the opposite direction of Aquarius Country. On the other side of Aquarius Country, there are high and steep mountains and endless jungles.
There are also high mountains here, but they are obviously different. The mountains here are the Loess Plateau, where no trees grow and they are all bare. At a glance, the mountains are clearly visible and the view is vast.
It has a unique charm.
The last city in Da'an Kingdom is called Chuncheng.
It is surrounded by high mountains and formed in a basin. The strong winds here are blocked by the mountains on all sides, making the climate relatively warm and spring-like all year round, so it is called Spring City.
The passage between Da'an and Darong is in the large crack in the canyon between the mountains. It is surrounded by high mountains and there is only one passage here. Therefore, Chuncheng is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Chuncheng is a city on the border between the two countries, and trade is also developed. There are all kinds of customs and habits in the city, and people dressed in all kinds of ways. It is considered the place with the most cultural exchanges between the two countries.
The accents are different in the north and south, and in different pitches, there are all kinds of them.
The city guards of Chuncheng had heard that the marriage team would pass through here, so they cleaned up the inn a few days in advance and waited at the inner gate of Chuncheng.
Finally, Jiang Lianzhu and the others arrived and were warmly welcomed into the city.
The other people in Chuncheng all came to watch. Everyone had heard of the name of Princess Fu'an, and everyone knew her. Everyone was also curious about what the third princess looked like.
Jiang Lianzhu rode a tall horse and walked on the street with the generals. When the bold onlookers called her name, she waved and greeted them with a smile. She was very approachable and the people talked about her all the way.
"So this is the Right Regent! So young!!!"
"Princess Fu'an is the daughter of the War King. She's only eighteen years old this year, so she's naturally young!"
"He's young and promising. It's said that his medical skills are unparalleled in the world. He's also very strong in combat. He has a mysterious master, gunpowder weapons, and a giant golden eagle. He can defeat thousands of troops alone."
"She's quite good-looking, and not at all arrogant. Such a noble person actually smiled at me."
…
Next to the princess' carriage, there was also a group of people watching.
The third princess, with her face covered by a veil, shyly stuck her head out and, like Jiang Lianzhu, nodded and greeted the people.
The crowd was boiling.
"Wow, the royal princess is so elegant and beautiful! Her big round eyes are black and shiny, so beautiful!"
"Our Da'an country is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so it's natural that we have such a beautiful princess!"
"Our Right Regent is also very handsome! He is very heroic."
"Our soldiers accompanying the bride are all in high spirits and high spirits. They look so impressive and will enhance the prestige of our Great An Nation!"
…
Not only did the people of Da'an stretch their necks to watch, but there were also people dressed in clothes from other countries mixed in the crowd, smiling and communicating in their own language.
Arrived at the posthouse.
The marriage team took a rest.
The defenders of Chuncheng prepared delicious food and wine for the guests, and all the supplies needed for the marriage team were also ready.
The marriage team has an army of thousands of people, and the supply consumption is also very high. Every time they arrive at a city, they will go to replenish some supplies. In order to save time, they will issue a supply list in advance and let the communication soldiers deliver it to the next city to be replenished, so that the city defenders can prepare in advance, and all the supplies will be recorded in the court's account and exempted from taxes.
In this way, the team can be supplied as soon as they arrive and leave as soon as they arrive, saving time.
The marriage team planned to rest in Chuncheng for one night before leaving.
While having dinner with the city guard, Jiang Lianzhu asked him about the security issues in the border town.
The Spring City garrison answered all of them one by one, "Sir, we have 5,000 defenders in Spring City and a population of approximately 100,000. Planting is our main source of income, as it's spring all year round. Most of us grow flowers, tea, and herbs. Spring City is a highly traded border town. As long as we have a customs document, caravans from all countries can enter to trade. We also collect some caravan taxes..."
The public security situation is good. We have a large number of defenders in our city, and Spring City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are indeed bandits, but they rarely come to Spring City. There is only one road leading to the desert outside, so it is not easy for bandits to enter. We have set up a large number of mechanical devices at the natural moat of the passage, so bandits generally dare not come. Therefore, our Spring City has been very peaceful in recent years, without any major disturbances, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."
Speaking of horse thieves, Jiang Lianzhu asked in detail.
The governor of Chuncheng introduced them one by one. "Outside Da'an State is a vast and desolate desert with fierce horse bandits. Merchant caravans must pay them tolls. If they don't, they will definitely not be able to travel this route. They survive on this desert trade route that is hundreds of kilometers long. They are large and wealthy. However, it shouldn't affect the marriage party. Even if they are brave enough, they would not dare to rob the imperial marriage party. We have thousands of soldiers. Even if they have ten times the courage, they would still think twice, right? If, my lord, you are worried, we from Chuncheng will send another 2,000 troops to escort you out of the desolate desert and back."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "No need. By the way, have you seen the Blood Battle Army?"
"No. Why would the Blood Battle Army come to our Chuncheng if they had nothing to do? No." The Chuncheng city defender answered affirmatively.
Jiang Lianzhu had an idea in mind.
Sanlangjun and the others are in the dark.
Even the border city guards don't know their exact whereabouts.
Chuncheng is peaceful and sound, which is said to be due to the natural terrain, but it is also possible to attribute it to the efforts of Sanlangjun and his men.
It is those who stay in the dark that the enemy is truly afraid of.
"Well, part of the Blood Battle Army is in the capital, part is in Shangrao City, and part is in Aquarius Country. Your Chuncheng is close to Darong Country, which is too remote for the Blood Battle Army to take care of you. You must be more vigilant and defend yourself strictly. If you need any supplies, just tell the court directly. The court will support you if it can."
