On the endless grass, the sunset suddenly jumped, submerged into the horizon, and the sky and earth were shrouded in darkness.
The howling wind blew Princess Jiewei's clothes straight, as if it would roll her up at any moment and blow her into the distance.
She had been standing upright, looking south.
The 5,000 people she sent to meet Cheng Mo were 300 miles away, but she hadn't received Cheng Mo yet, sent sentinels, and couldn't find out the news of Wu's army, and Cheng Mo seemed to have disappeared on the grassland.
What happened to the matter, do you want to send a letter to Qiao Jie, inform him of the worries, the princess frowned, and could only send more sentinels to the south to investigate.
Just now, Gai Zixuan asked her to hand over the military power, and her triumphant appearance and meaningful smile made Princess Xie Wu see it, and an ominous premonition arose.
Could it be that Gai Zixuan knew that the prime minister of the Wu Dynasty was in the army, and he was coming to Wusun, or did Cheng Mo have an accident, and the initiator was Gai Zixuan The princess was depressed, walked out of the tent to blow the wind, and subconsciously stood facing south.
The maidservant behind her, Feng Feng, persuaded: "Princess, the wind is too strong, let's go back." ” Feng Feng is one of the many dowries of Princess Xie Wu, and he is also the most favored, and he often follows Princess Xie Wu.
She is sweet-looking, articulate and loyal, and has won the trust of Princess Jiewu.
These days, she empathizes with the pressure of Princess Xie Wu, but she can only sigh helplessly, Wu Jun suddenly disappeared in the grassland, Gai Zixuan is aggressive, and Princess Xie Wu's situation is really difficult.
A horse galloped from far and near, dismounted in front of the tent, probably under the guidance of the guards, and strode in the direction of the princess of Anxiety.
Princess Xie Wei hurriedly greeted her and said, "But there is news" This man was the leader of the sentinels sent to search for the Wu army, and after all the news was summarized, he reported it to Princess Xie Wei.
The leader of the sentry shook his head and said, "No, only two groups of caravans were detected, both of them were less than a thousand people, and the queue was loose, it could not be the army of the Wu Dynasty." ” As far as he knew, this army was only 3,000 people, and an army of 3,000 people could still be distinguished at a glance from a merchant brigade of less than 1,000 people, how could he be wrong Princess Xie Wei was even more worried, and said, "I will write a letter, and you will send it immediately." ” At this point, I can only talk to Qiao Jie and discuss how to search, in the vast desert, it is not difficult to find 3,000 people, but in case these people go in the wrong direction, or are attacked, it will be difficult to find them.
This matter, I learned that it would be Qiao Jie.
Soon after, the leader of the sentinels departed with a parchment letter in his arms.
At this time, Cheng Mo had already passed Qiuzi, not far from Wusun, and it would be a day's journey.
As long as he entered the territory of Wusun, no matter how arrogant Gai Zixuan was, he did not dare to make a move against the Wu army on the surface, but Cheng Mo and Mai Mang did not take it lightly, and the whole army was still on alert, and when they set up camp, they sent several sentry spies to send back the news in time.
The sun shone on the grassland again, Cheng Mo and Su Miaohua walked side by side, thinking that they could soon end this kind of days that might be attacked at any time, Su Miaohua was quite emotional.
The messenger sent to inform the princess of her worries has departed, and she will soon be coming to meet them.
Then, of course, I have to find Gai Zixuan to settle accounts, 1,500 elites, but they can't die in vain.
Su Miaohua thought about it and began to think about how to clean up the covers.
Cheng Mo was as happy and angry as ever, but when he camped this night, he still acted according to the rules of these days, and Mai Mang also meticulously arranged the defensive sentry.
When Princess Xie received the news, she was overjoyed, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally brought Cheng Mo here.
She asked with a smile: "Why did I send a lot of sentinels, but there has been no sentry to find out the whereabouts of Prime Minister Cheng?"
Cheng Mo and his army seemed to fall from the sky, this surprise made Princess Xie Wu a little overjoyed, she didn't blame Cheng Mo, she just said it in passing.
The messenger gave a brief account of the attack on the road, and said, "I wonder if the princess has ever paid attention to the people around her."
Xie Wu's face changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Gai Zixuan sent an army to attack him and lied to me that his private army went to the border to prepare to meet the Huns, although I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect him to be so bold that he dared to attack Prime Minister Cheng."
She paced slowly in the tent, thought for a while, and said, "It stands to reason that the news will not leak from me."
I'll find out about this matter as soon as possible. ” She exchanged letters with Cheng Mo several times, except for Feng Feng in the tent, the rest of the maids were waiting outside the tent, to say that Feng Feng betrayed her and became the eyeliner that Gai Zixuan planted beside her, but she didn't believe it.
"That's very good."
The messenger can only say this, after Cheng Mo arrives, he will also check, and he will not rely solely on Princess Xie Wu.
Princess Xie Wu ordered to light 10,000 cavalry, and when the cavalry was assembled, she went to see the fat king, reported to him about Cheng Mo's arrival, and then returned to the account, and said to the messenger: "Let's go to meet Prime Minister Cheng." ” A day later, Princess Xie Wu saw Cheng Mo's team, a team of 1,500 people.
The javelin-like figures of the sergeants stood on horseback, and there was no sign that they had been attacked and more than half of them were killed or wounded.
On the white horse in the front of the team, the rider's posture was like a javelin, a little far away, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, but Princess Xie knew that this person must be Cheng Mo.
When she saw someone from the Wu Dynasty, if she saw her relatives, she burst into tears and patted her horse to greet her.
Cheng Mo saw the flag flying in front of him, the first red horse, and a woman on the horse, estimated to be the princess of Xie Wu, so he stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop, and he patted the horse and galloped forward.
The two horses soon met and jumped off the horse together, Cheng Mo saw that the woman in front of him was old, beautiful, but there was a charming charm in her gestures, and she was worthy of the title of the first beauty in Wusun.
He took a step forward and saluted, "See the princess." ” Princess Xie Wu is the princess of Emperor Wu who went to Wusun and kissed.
"Prime Minister Cheng, please get up quickly."
Princess Xie Wei grabbed the false help, and at the same time marveled that there was such a handsome man in the world, and said: "It is said that Cheng Mo looks like Pan An, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ” Good looks are also capital, Cheng Mo didn't care about Princess Xie Wei, only paid attention to her appearance, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment." ” Princess Xie Wu didn't expect Cheng Mo to be so cheerful, she was slightly stunned, and said: "Prime Minister Cheng Cheng is from the capital, I don't know if Your Majesty has something to give me."
The Wu Dynasty is her hometown, the place where her soul haunts her.
Cheng Mo smiled and said seriously: "There is a secret edict." ” Liu Xun did have a secret edict for her.
Xie Wei showed a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty has not forgotten my family, who married far away. ” Cheng Mo said: "That's nature.
His Majesty has long admired the princess's virtuous name, and he admires the princess's righteous deeds very much. ” In terms of generation, Princess Xie Wu is Liu Xun's aunt and ancestor, from the official point of view, Princess Xie Wu is out of the plug and relatives, and has contributed to the friendship between Wu Dynasty and Wusun, and she is in Wusun, after two generations of Kunmo, married to two generations of Kunmo, so contrary to nature, but also actively strive to achieve an alliance between Wusun and Wu Dynasty, it is really not easy, such a strong woman, Liu Xun is indeed quite admired.
The two chattered for a while, and Princess Xie Wu invited Cheng Mo to go on the horse and accompany him, and introduced him to Wusun's current situation along the way. t1706231537:
