The further north you go, the less people you see.
The god of spring finally favored the land, and the snow that had been frozen for a winter slowly began to melt. However, this was not good news for the team. After the snow melted, the muddy ground made it more difficult to move forward, and the wheels often got stuck in the mud. , the condition of several horses not moving.
Even though it was so difficult, Da Zhao's heart for marrying the group was much more relaxed than before, because the princess, who had been lingering on the sick bed, was getting better day by day. For them, Princess Chaoyang is the backbone.
Jiang Rui has been learning Beidi language for the past few days, and her absorption rate is quite fast, but she has learned daily conversations in a few days, and even the envoy who taught her is amazed.
That evening, the convoy camped by a lake.
It has been sunny for days, the temperature has warmed up, and the snow on the road has finally melted away. The green grass is fluffy burrowing out of the ground, the green grass, and the blue lake. This is the time they have walked for so long. Except for the yellow sand and white snow, it is rare to see them. of beauty.
Jiang Rui changed her clothes, put on her hat, and planned to get out of the car to get some air.
Qiuhua hesitated on the side. They started from Kyoto and had been walking for more than a month. Apart from staying at the inn, this was the first time the princess offered to get off the bus.
The princess is willing to go out for a walk, and she is naturally happy. After being bored in the car for so long, even a good person will be bored, not to mention that the princess is recovering from a serious illness.
But she was worried that she would encounter those unreasonable Beidi people when she got out of the car. The princess was in good health, but she couldn't stand the collision of those barbarians.
After dressing up, Jiang Rui looked left and right in the bronze mirror.
Even after experiencing so many worlds and seeing so many beauties, seeing Princess Chaoyang's face for the first time is still amazing.
Jiang Rui originally thought that she was not someone who saw faces, but at this time, a sentence emerged in her mind: good-looking people are qualified to be self-willed.
"Bring my golden whip," she ordered.
"Yes." Qiuhua responded subconsciously, and then he reacted, hesitantly said: "What is the princess doing with the golden whip?"
The whip was one of the betrothal gifts sent by Bei Di, and it was paired with a golden dagger, which the princess never looked at before.
Jiang Rui put down her hat and tilted her head. The beads on the edge of the hat swayed with her movements, "What else can I do? If I meet someone who doesn't have eyes, I have to use a whip to open their eyes."
Qiuhua took a deep breath. Of course, she could hear the meaning of the princess's words. The princess's health had improved in the past few days. While she was relieved, she also noticed that the princess seemed to have changed her sex. Right now, it was not an illusion, but she I didn't say much, just respectfully found the golden whip and presented it.
It was the cooking time of Anzao, and the people of Beidi and Dazhao were clearly distinguished.
Jiang Rui got out of the car, followed by a few followers, and walked slowly to the lake.
The endless green grassland, at the end of the grassland, the fiery sunset is slowly sinking, and the rays of sunshine dye the sky and lake water red.
In Dazhao, it is rare to see such a scene, Qiuhua and several palace maids and maids whispered in amazement.
But the peaceful atmosphere was quickly broken by the sound of horses' hooves. Qiuhua glanced back vigilantly, then approached Jiang Rui and whispered, "Princess, it's that General Bei Di."
Although they couldn't speak the language, they still remembered the arrogance and rudeness of the Beidi people all this time. Although the servants still lowered their heads, they moved closer, and silently surrounded Jiang Rui in the middle.
Jiang Rui looked at the shimmering water, and the whip slapped lightly in her hand.
The sound of the hooves got closer and closer, and suddenly a stone flew from behind and threw it into the lake, splashing a lot of water.
"You!" Qiuhua turned around immediately and glared angrily.
Bayin leaned crookedly on the horse, condescendingly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes, and said in his mouth, "It scares the noble princess, it's really scary."
The rest of the people couldn't understand what he was saying, but from the look on his face they knew it wasn't an apology, and Qiu Hua and the others flushed with anger.
"Why don't you come down and salute when you see me?"
Bayin played the Dazhao people with a smug smile on his face. He was about to ride his horse away when he suddenly heard a voice he had never heard before. After a bit of doubt, he realized that it was the Dazhao Princess who was speaking.
He didn't have time to think about why Princess Dazhao spoke Beidi words, so he was amused by the meaning of the words, and sneered contemptuously, "Don't say it's a princess, even if your emperor is here, I won't kneel down and salute, Beidi warrior. Your loyalty belongs only to King Khan!"
"Is it the former Khan king or the new king?" Jiang Rui turned around, took two steps forward, and the servants surrounding her consciously retreated behind her.
"What do you mean?" Bayin squinted at Princess Dazhao in front of him.
Jiang Rui glanced at him casually through the hood, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the general for reminding me to let me know that even if the former Khan King is not there, I am still the Northern Die clan. You keep saying that you are loyal to the Khan King, so why did you see me? The Ye family of the Khan king did not bow?"
Bayin moved the corners of his mouth contemptuously, "A Dazhao woman—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a whip thrown at him. He watched Princess Dazhao's attack on the opposite side, but he didn't take it to heart. He contemptuously stretched out his hand to grab the whip, and taught the princess a lesson.
However, many people present saw General Bayin waving his hand without even touching the shadow of the whip. The tip of the whip slammed onto his face unceremoniously, making a crisp sound, leaving bloodstains immediately.
Numbness, pain, itching, Bayin has not yet reacted, the humiliation and anger already surged in his heart, and he will reach out and grab people with a low roar.
Jiang Rui took a step back unhurriedly, and added: "I advise the general to be cautious in his words and deeds. From the day I accepted Beidi's marriage proposal in Da Zhao, I have been the Beidi's family, but the general kept saying that he was a woman of Da Zhao. I don't know if I don't want to admit my identity, or I don't want to admit the identity of the new Khan king?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Even if Bayin's mind was rough, he could hear that this was not good. In particular, he was the confidant of the former Khan king, and he had not dealt with this new king very well in the past. Now his position is embarrassing, and he is upset, so he is always angry with these Dazhao people.
Jiang Rui knew this and provoked him with words. This whip was supposed to vent her anger on the late Princess Chaoyang.
"If I were a general, I should understand what to do and what not to do now. If the general can't even escort me well, I'm afraid King Khan will be even more unhappy when he finds out?"
Bayin stared at her fiercely, with a gloomy expression on her face, and finally left in anguish.
Seeing him leave, Qiuhua let out a tense sigh of relief, her legs softened and she almost fell, she asked in a low voice, "Why is the princess so courageous?"
These Beidi people were tall, strong, and fierce, and the princess dared to beat them with a whip.
"What are you afraid of, does he dare to beat me? Unless he doesn't plan to go back to do business." Jiang Ruidao, she bet this Bayin is not too stupid, knowing that once the emperor is a courtier, now he should be a man with his tail tucked, not continue to be Arrogant and domineering in front of them.
After that, the whole journey was really quiet, and the Dazhao people and Beidi people who escorted them had the meaning that the well water would not violate the river water.
It would take another half a day to reach the royal court, and the convoy stopped by a river for the last supply.
Qiuhua and several palace maids got off the car with water bladders and went to the river to pour water. Jiang Rui opened the curtain and the warm spring breeze poured into the car.
The spring in the Northland is more than a month later than that of Zhongzhou. I am afraid that at this time, the peach blossoms in Kyoto have already withered.
There was a strange breath in the wind, she squinted slightly, lowered the curtain, and found the dagger in the drawer.
As soon as she held it in her hand, there were several roars from outside the car. It was Beidi dialect, and she could tell it meant a robber.
In a place so close to the royal court, there are robbers haunting, and this matter is really worth pondering.
Jiang Rui heard the robbers roaring and rushing towards the convoy, and soon the swords clashed in one place, and the horses neighed, screamed and screamed incessantly.
Qiuhua and the others screamed and climbed into the cart, and rushed into the interior, their faces turned pale, "Princess, there are robbers!"
"Don't panic, General Li will protect us, and since this place is close to the Beidi Royal Court, there must be not many robbers, and rescuers will come soon." Jiang Rui reassured.
After hearing this, Qiuhua and the others calmed down a little bit, and they surrounded Jiang Rui in a group.
Jiang Rui was right, the number of robbers was indeed not many, but they were all like desperados, very difficult to deal with.
The battle stalemate for a long time, the cart suddenly swayed, someone jumped up from under the car, and a bloody machete stabbed into the curtain!
The palace maid screamed again and again, and one person even fell on Jiang Rui.
She pushed the person away, grabbed the dagger and stood up, taking advantage of the short time when the person who came was unfamiliar with the structure of Luanyu and was entangled in the curtain and couldn't see things clearly, she violently kicked him out.
With that kick, she brought her inner strength and successfully kicked the person out of the car, and then followed closely. She stepped on the opponent's wrist with her heel and smashed it hard, and the machete fell to the ground. He held her ankle, but Jiang Rui was faster than him, the golden dagger slashed in the air, blood spurted out, and then saw a forearm fall, and the hissing scream filled the eardrum in an instant!
Jiang Rui was also slightly startled, but did not expect this dagger to be so sharp.
The intruder was almost mad, his eyes were splitting, and he rushed towards her again, but in the next instant, the flying arrow feathers were pinned to the wall of the car!
There seemed to be something splashed on her cheek, it was warm and hot, Jiang Rui didn't have time to tell the difference, she heard those Bei Di soldiers shouting excitedly:
"It's sweat!"
"The sweat is coming!"
"The sweat is coming!"
There seems to be some magic power in these words, making the Beidi people become extremely brave, and the robbers panicked when they saw it, and the situation was immediately reversed.
Jiang Rui was standing in the car, looking at a gentle slope not far away. There was a man straddled on the horse and was putting away his bow and arrow. The two looked at each other from a distance.
"The last general is not able to rescue, please punish the princess!"
The sound from under the car made her look away. She glanced at General Li, whose armor was soaked in blood, and he was crumbling on his knees.
"General, let's take care of the wound first."
General Li became more and more ashamed, "...Yes."
Jiang Rui didn't say any more words of consolation. Although he did his best, it was a fact that he was not able to rescue him. If it wasn't her today, but the real Princess Chaoyang, I'm afraid that she would have died at this moment, then these people will also be questioned when they return to Dazhao.
The scene was already under control, except for those who were killed on the spot, the remaining robbers also committed suicide immediately after being caught. It turned out to be a group of dead men.
"Princess... Wipe your face." Qiu Hua said in a trembling voice.
Jiang Rui took Jinpa and wiped it on her face. The bright red blood was smeared away, like a gorgeous rouge, and it was clean after wiping it twice.
Sensing that someone was approaching, she raised her eyes, it was the sweat in Bei Di's mouth just now.
He should be young, but he has a short beard, deep facial features, a sturdy figure, a dark skin color, with a rough face from the wind and the sun, his lips are thin and cold, and his eyes are shining like a wolf. All the light, everything, all shows that this man is different from the gentle and elegant Dazhao man.
At the same time, Ur Khan is also looking at his Yushi.
Thanks to his excellent eyesight, he just glanced at it from a distance, and he found that this Princess Dazhao had an amazing beauty, but this could not impress him, marrying a soft princess is not something he is happy to do.
But just now, looking at the beautiful princess looking at him calmly, the bright red blood slowly rolling down her cheeks, Ur Khan realized that something was churning in his blood, so he changed his mind.
Because of his approach, the eyes of others followed him unconsciously, and then they were all stunned.
This is the first time Princess Dazhao shows her true face. No one expected her to have such an amazing appearance. Her skin seems to be whiter than fresh goat milk, but her lips are like the most gorgeous flowers, and her eyes are more beautiful than those of fresh goat milk. Moon Lake is even more beautiful.
She is more beautiful than the first beauty in the grassland, Qiqige! This is the voice of the Beidi people present at the moment.
The day before, Bayin, who was still cursing the people of Dazhao in his heart, was also stunned. The wound on his arm kept dripping blood, and he seemed to feel no pain.
Ur Khan twitched the corners of his mouth, making his lips thinner, "Dear princess, I am Ur Khan, king of the Di tribe."
Saying that, he stretched out another hand, "Please come down, my Mrs. Ye."
Everyone held their breath unconsciously, paying attention to the movements of the two.
Qiuhua pursed her white lips, trying to say that this was illegal, but when the Khan King glanced at her, her legs and feet became weak, and she immediately lost the courage to speak.
Jiang Rui looked down at the palm that was stretched out in front of her, and slowly stretched out her hand from her sleeve. The white and slender fingers were a little red, and they were more delicate than the newly drawn grass cores on the spring grassland.
As soon as Ur Khan grasped it, Lang laughed aloud, and then in Qiuhua's exclamation, he took his Yushi on the horse's back.
The author has something to say:
In addition, regarding the title, Khan's wife should have been Ketun, but I think Mrs. Ye looks more pleasing to the eye, so I shouted randomly, little angels, don't be serious~
