Twenty-first face
Ghost General

Ling country, border.
The cold wind was blowing. It was only November and December at this time, and the weather at the border was already very cold.
At an inn on the side of the road, a carriage stopped slowly, and people dressed as guards got out of the carriage and entered the shop.
On the carriage in the middle, the maid opened the curtain and smiled to the people inside: "Your Highness, you have arrived at the Yuecheng Inn, please get out of the carriage and rest first."
The curtain was lifted to reveal the girl inside.
The girl's complexion was pale and haggard, her eye circles were red, as if she had just cried a lot.
The maid couldn't bear it, but sighed helplessly.
— This fifth princess has always been unfavored, but this time she was actually sent to the border by the emperor to marry and get married...
The enemy country on the border is a barbaric tribe that drinks blood. Even though the fifth princess was not favored since she was a child and was left to grow up in the cold palace, she was still a delicate girl from the Ling Kingdom after all. How can I endure that desolate place...
The maid sighed inwardly, and said in a respectful and gentle tone, "Princess, please get out of the car."
The girl looked up at her.
The maid lowered her head, not seeing her.
Afterwards, the girl stretched out her hand to lift the hem of the skirt, stood up slowly and calmly, bent slightly and stepped out of the car curtain.
The attendant had already placed a small stool under the carriage.
Although she is an unfavored princess of the cold palace, and was sent to marry and get married far away, she is still a princess after all.
Naturally, those who are slaves dare not neglect.
The girl lifted her skirt slightly, stepped on the small stool and got out of the car.
The maid at the back looked at her back, and couldn't help being slightly stunned, feeling that something was different.
Since the fifth princess was sent out of the capital, she walked and cried all the way, couldn't eat, and became haggard a lot.
But when he got out of the car just now, he was a little calm.
It seems very calm and calm.
This idea flashed through the maid's mind, and then she shook her head, thinking, maybe the fifth princess knew that the overall situation was settled, so she stopped struggling.
As a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, she can't get rid of the control of fate, she is just in a cage.
The owner of the inn quickly greeted him from the store, and when he learned that this trip was for the royal family to marry the princess, he naturally nodded and bowed. At the same time, he couldn't help but raise his eyes curiously, wanting to see the appearance of the royal princess.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was amazed.
What a beauty.
She has a delicate body, plain and gentle, and her face is as beautiful as a spring flower in March, beautiful but not gorgeous, and lovable.
After only one glance, the shopkeeper quickly lowered his head, fearing that he would be punished for offending the royal dignity.
He bowed his head and invited the group of people in.
The maid helped the princess upstairs, and let go of the supporting hand when she entered the room, but she heard the girl say: "Let me be alone for a while. Go out first."
The maid was startled, and then responded.
She exits the room.
Yu Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at the window.
The sky outside the window was gloomy, as if there was going to be a heavy rain, and passers-by were hurrying on their way.
In the borderlands, the air is filled with the smell of saltpeter. Weapon shops can be seen everywhere on the street, and the cold weapons gleamed coldly. From time to time, patrolling soldiers passed by, the queue was orderly, and their faces were serious.
The several border cities in Nanling are as solid as gold.
From the original owner's memory, Yu Chu knew that it was because there was a ghost-faced king sitting on the border of Nanling.
He went to the battlefield at the age of ten, made meritorious service at the age of twelve, was named a general at the age of sixteen, and was in charge of the Nanling Army Seal at the age of seventeen. Now this person is just twenty years old, but he has already established himself as a king. Even the emperor dare not rely on his status to make people look bad.
