The king of Zhou was very surprised that Yan Chu could return to his current appearance, and he could actually drive the horse by himself. Originally, he thought that Yan Chu was supposed to escort the princess to get married this time, but in fact, he had to ride in a carriage like the eldest daughter along the way. Woolen cloth.
Zhou Mingzhu and the others were also surprised, but seeing that Yan Chu was only riding the horse for such a distance, his fingers began to tremble slightly, and he knew that the other party must be holding on, just to avoid embarrassment in public.
It's really tenacious self-esteem, but it's useless. It's the extreme to be able to recover to the current level.
The auspicious time was about to arrive, and the King of Zhou said some polite words, and the wedding procession officially set off.
As the general this time, Yan Chu rode his horse and walked in the front of the team without hesitation. There was a long road between him and the eldest princess's sedan chair.
The journey to get married is very long. One of them is a princess and the other is a general. They hardly have any contact with each other. What Zhou Mingli likes to do every day is to take advantage of the short opening time when the maid brings her food and water. During the time of the curtain, look at the tall and generous back in the distance.
Most people in the palace thought that she specifically asked Yan Chu to see her off because she wanted to humiliate him, but no one knew how much she loved that man.
Zhou Mingli's memories of her childhood are not deep anymore, it's just those people's self-righteous cold violence, as well as some ridicule and shoving. If those people really hurt her, they still dare not.
However, Zhou Mingli, who is still a child, often feels sad for those people's indifference and unreasonable disgust. She is very envious of her second sister. They are both the daughters of the father, but because the other party is the daughter of the queen, she doesn't need anything. You can please everyone by doing it. It is clear that her birth is not something she can decide, and the father and emperor have a crush on her mother and concubine and have her, which is not something she can control.
Why don't everyone go to find the culprit father, but love to trouble her.
Zhou Mingli, who was still a child at that time, didn't understand, because her father was the king of the Zhou Kingdom. In the Zhou Kingdom, no one dared to go against him and accuse him. This is the charm of power.
At that time, what she paid most attention to was the little general Yan who often appeared in the palace. Among his peers, he was always the tallest and the one with the loudest voice. As far as Zhou Mingli is concerned, she likes people who are full of vigor and vitality, which makes her feel that the world is still beautiful.
At that time, she always looked at him from a distance, because she didn't know if that boy hated her like the children of other ministers who came to the palace, and would help other princes and princesses to bully her.
The first close contact was after she was bullied by the big and second brothers again.
That day, she hid in the rockery and cried secretly, she didn't dare to go back to her palace, because once the concubine mother saw her like this, she would only feel more self-pity.
Yan Chu found her in order to pick up a ball that he threw away. He didn't know that she was a princess, because the clothes she was wearing at that time were already dirty, and they were still the most common fabrics. He regarded her as a little girl. The maid, seeing her so sad, stepped forward to comfort her.
He asked her if she was bullied and he could help her get revenge.
She replied that the person who bullied her was a very powerful person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no way for him to stand up for her.
That still young boy didn't hesitate at all, that's what he said back then.
He is the son of the Yan family, and the men of the Yan family were born to protect Da Zhou. As long as she is a citizen of Da Zhou, he will protect her for a day, no matter how powerful the person who bullies her is, as long as it is wrong For the other party, he can help her vent her anger.
This is the first time that someone has stood up and said to protect her, including her concubine mother, who has always just told her to endure and not to cause trouble. Hurry to boil water, but never do anything for her.
Because her mother and concubine knew that in this palace, only a few children of the queen dared to tease her like this.
From that moment on, a boy named Yan Chu lived in Zhou Mingli's heart.
She didn't know if the boy had forgotten his promise to a little girl, but she took it seriously and remembered it for the rest of her life.
After that day, Zhou Mingli no longer chose to remain silent, and she began to try to please her father.
Although she is only a daughter of a concubine, she is also King Zhou's own flesh and blood after all. This blood relationship cannot be cut off, and King Zhou is such a soft-hearted man. Facing a quiet man, he always reveals his love for him. The daughter whom his father adored and admired, he unconsciously paid more attention to this eldest daughter.
Gradually, no one in the palace dared to bully her and neglected her anymore. Everyone knew that this princess was now His Majesty's favorite, and the few remaining eldest princes and others who dared to bully her were also in Queen Zhou's house. Under the warning, he withdrew his hand and just ignored her as a ball of air.
Zhou Mingli's life gradually returned to calm. What she likes to do the most is to listen to the maids around her talk about the showy little General Yan.
He made great achievements in battle, she was happy for him, he was injured, she worried about him, and couldn't sleep all night, but Zhou Mingli knew that Yan Chu was destined to be with her second sister.
But what, as long as there is such a person in my heart, it is already the happiest thing.
Joy and bitterness flashed across Zhou Mingli's eyes, which finally turned into peace.
She looked at the figure in the distance, perhaps, this was due to fate.
"Little General Yan, I heard that the Yan family's ancestral marksmanship is exquisite. I wonder if my subordinates have the honor to ask for advice."
The journey to Jiang Country is very long, except that there are some villages that need to camp anywhere, most of the time, the convoys of the family and friends will rush to the post station for the night before the sky darkens.
Because the marriage team is too large, it is obviously unrealistic for everyone to live in the inn, so apart from the princess and her personal servants, there can only be a hundred or so soldiers living there.
Others were either patrolling outside the station, or camped outside to rest.
Yan Chu, as the general this time, of course has his own room in the inn, but tonight is special, those lieutenants felt tired from the journey, and I don’t know who came up with the idea, and sent a small team to the nearby mountains to hunt some game Hand it over to the people at the post station, hold a bonfire party, and invite him to participate.
Now it seems that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.
"Fart your mother, Chen Erniu, with your new master, you forget who promoted you when you were a small infantryman, and who gave you money when you said your father was sick. You sent it home for your father to see a doctor."
Before Yan Chu could speak, a strong black man sitting beside him stood up.
They have been together for six days, and Yan Chu also knows the name of that black and strong man. His name is Gou Xiong.
When Yan Chu's accident happened, he was still leading troops to guard outside the gate of Ming City. When he knew that Yan Chu had been arrested for treason, he was already unable to stop it.
In fact, a large part of the Yan family's army was loyal to the Yan family, not the king of Zhou. It was right to say that the royal family feared the Yan family. If such a family with a large army wanted to rebel, it would be a breeze.
When Yan Chu was arrested for treason, many people in the army didn't believe it. They even stopped Fu Cong. At that time, it was faintly revealed that as long as Yan Chu said something, they would rebel together.
It's just that Yan Chu's family members were still in the capital at that time, and Yan Chu was still loyal to the royal family at that time. He believed that the king of Zhou would clear his innocence, and immediately stopped those loyal subordinates, which caused his final dissatisfaction. As a result, he lost the opportunity.
At the beginning, he was the famous little general Yan, who had the title of undefeated general. Rebelling against him was almost a certain victory. Consider following a crippled master. Once the rebellion fails, what will happen to them and their family members.
Gou Xiong was quite hesitant during this time. Out of his sincerity, he wanted to help the little general, but thinking about his family, he felt that he should keep a distance from him.
But as the time spent together increases, the shackles of this hesitation become more and more fragile.
Every day at Yin time, before everyone got up, he watched the little general secretly get up to exercise, trot uninterrupted every day, and he still had to finish one hundred squats time and time again even though he was sweating profusely. The copper hammer he held changed from the smallest two catties to three catties in just six days.
Of course, this was a piece of cake for the former little general. Even a random person in the army would not be able to lift a three-jin copper hammer.
But you have to think about it, this is a man with broken tendons in his hands and hamstrings. Gou Xiong felt that in the little general, he saw unprecedented courage and miracles brought about by perseverance.
He felt that his flame, which was extinguished after the little general was judged disabled by the imperial physician, seemed to be burning fiercely.
Yesterday, he secretly sent a letter back to his confidant. These days, the traitor Fu Cong has been lobbying them, the veterans of the Yan family army. Because of the silence of the little general, many people seem to be shaken.
He wanted to tell those people that the little general is not dead, as long as he is still alive and has the heart, the Yan family army should have the surname Yan.
Gou Xiong thought, in fact, when he sent those letters, he had already made clear his current position.
So when Chen Erniu provoked Yan Chu, he stood up and refuted it for him without even thinking about it.
Now that the little general is still recovering, we can't let these restless and kind villains add fuel to the fire.
"Xiong, don't make trouble, you are not a little general, how do you know what other people think."
Chen Zhao frowned. Chen Erniu was his old name, and what he disliked the most after he became famous was hearing people mention this old name.
"Little general, if you can't do it, you can also give advice to your subordinates." He glared at Gou Xiong, then looked at Yan Chu with a smile, with malicious intentions.
