"With lofty aspirations and strong wings reaching to the sky..."
The young man has a promising future.
Looking at Lin Feng, who had a determined look on her face and was no longer as immature and timid as when they first met, Shen Tang knew that he could not stop her.
He could only pat her not-so-broad and strong shoulders with both hands, and solemnly admonished her in the tone of an elder: "You have the ambition to follow your teacher, which is a good thing. If Wuhui knew about it, he would also agree and be pleased. I won't stop you, but there is one thing you must remember - your teacher, and I, are waiting for you to come back safely, understand?"
An ordinary eleven-year-old child is still playing in the mud with a runny nose, but Lin Feng already has lofty ambitions. How can we not be happy
But although I am relieved, I am still worried.
Shen Tang repeated it solemnly for the second time.
"You must come back safely!"
Lin Feng saluted and said, "Yes."
As for Quetou, he will be taken care of by Xu Quan for the time being.
Not seeing Lin Feng, Quetou had a moment of doubt and tried to test Xu Quan: "General, do you know where Lin Zhubu has gone?"
"You mean Lingde? She's playing as a forward."
Relying on his superb riding skills, Xu Quan turned his long legs and straddled the horse's back. This posture made his long legs particularly prominent.
He smiled as he looked at Quetou who was accompanying him.
"What, you want to eat swan meat?"
Quetou's expression did not change, and he said modestly: "I dare not, but Lin Zhubu asked me to study the inscriptions before..."
Xu Quan said "oh".
As if he just remembered this matter, he waved his hand and said, "Then you do your research and we'll talk about it when she comes back."
Quetou pretended to be embarrassed.
Said: "But... the stone tablet..."
Although they had only been together for a few days, Quetou clearly felt that Lin Feng was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Compared with this group of despicable invaders, she was barely a "good person" and he could use her to get closer to the stone tablet. This stone tablet was of great significance to Shiwu.
If I could present it to the royal court—
His position as crown prince was completely secured.
Previously, Quetou believed that as the son of the Queen and the heir of the most noble bloodline of the Ten Crows, he had a superior status and should be superior to his lowly brothers. They were not qualified, could not, and were not worthy of competing with him.
However, this experience of traveling in anonymity shattered his naivety. The adult brothers ahead of him were all secretly accumulating strength. They also had the advantage of age and entered the royal court earlier than him to build up their power.
Either form an alliance or recruit troops.
Quetou was a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
They worked together and managed to hide it from the Queen and the guards that Su Shiyilu had arranged for Quetou, and almost murdered him. If it weren't for the fact that Quetou's mother tribe was powerful and had a deep foundation, and had some secret methods that were not passed on to others, I'm afraid he would have been in trouble this time.
In order to avoid his brother's "attention", he had no choice but to blend into the slave group. Because slaves were the most inconspicuous existence and had a high turnover rate, his brothers could not imagine that the noble little prince would "degrade himself to a slave" and associate with these dirty and smelly slaves.
Now he just waits for his injuries to heal.
In addition, the limelight had passed, so he could take the opportunity to return to the capital. As long as he could contact the Queen's people, he would be completely safe. However, in this way, he gained almost nothing from this journey and trial. He could not compare with his brothers, and he could not convince others.
but-
What about this stone tablet
By then, all the merits of his brothers combined would not be comparable to his, because this stone tablet was the most favorable proof of Shiwu's bloodline! The nobles of the royal court and the tribal leaders would all support him as the son of Shiwu's destiny, the next king!
Xu Quan touched his chin and said, "You mean the stone tablet? It's not easy to carry the stone tablet, so I'll temporarily store it in the valley. I'll come back to get it when I'm done. You can study the inscription on the tablet first. If you make any progress, remember to let me know. If you have any difficulties, you can also come to me. Who asked Sister Lingde to give so many instructions before she left... Alas, I really don't know what's so good about you, a little slave..."
He tutted his words in mock disdain.
Quetou lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Xu Quan looked at his purple hair and curled his lips.
Ever since he knew that Quetou had the hair dye secret recipe to deceive him, he was unhappy with this slave. If he could not kill him temporarily, he would have taken Quetou's head before Lin Feng! Humph, you squid, wait for death!
at the same time.
Shiwu, the royal capital.
"Sir, sir—"
Su Shiyilu's confidant hurried to find the savior, but the person who was there yesterday was nowhere to be found today. He only found a sheepskin letter pressed by a silver pot on the table. He slowly opened it, and it turned out to be a farewell letter.
He put the letter down, breathing heavily.
Angry and anxious, he slammed the table.
Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly stood up and shouted to his left and right guards: "Quick, go out of the city and chase them immediately. Please come back!"
The guard was about to take the order and leave, but he changed his mind.
"Forget it, forget it, I guess everyone has gone far away..."
"well… "
The confidant learned from Su Shiyilu yesterday that the royal court was gathering troops to attack Yonggu Pass, but the commander was not Su Shiyilu, but another rival who was not on good terms with Su Shiyilu. Most importantly, this person was loyal to another prince.
The marriage with Geng State was just a smoke screen, just to test Geng State's attitude and dispel Geng State's vigilance.
Once the border barrier is broken and Yonggu Pass is captured... Shiwu will be able to use Longwu County as a springboard to get their hands on a large tract of land, fulfilling the wish of so many generations of Shiwu people! And this achievement will also completely make the crown of the crown prince fall to someone else.
Su Shiyilu has been worried about this matter these days.
As a confidant, it is natural to share the worries of the master.
But the intelligence of confidants is limited, so they can only seek external help.
Who knew that the foreign aid grew legs and ran away.
I treated this man like an ancestor, fed him with good food and drinks, and provided him with gold, silver and treasures, but he just ran away!
The more the confidant thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about
"The people of the Central Plains are so ungrateful and unloving!"
"It really pissed me off!"
"No! If you go after him, you won't be able to swallow this anger!"
The only thing he was thankful for was that this "heartless man" had analyzed the pros and cons and stated the gains and losses in a letter before leaving, so that his confidant had something to tell Su Shiyilu, and he was able to suppress his anger. He packed up and went to see Su Shiyilu, and read everything exactly as it was written.
Royal capital, outside the city.
The scholar rode the Ferghana horse that was given to him by a fool, galloping against the cold wind, until the king behind him turned into a tiny dot on the horizon, and then he controlled the reins to make the horse stop. Looking back at the direction he came from, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if his plan had succeeded.
"We will never meet again."
"Next..."
The scribe looked around on his horse.
He bent down and took out a golden bead the size of a longan from the bag on his horse's back. As the spirit of words was activated, the golden bead dissipated in his palm.
He murmured, "Northwest, good luck?"
The scholar was preparing to pass Yonggu Pass before the Ten Crows Army, and hurriedly passed the message back so that Yonggu Pass could be prepared. They could resist as long as they could, which could be regarded as a complete repayment for Yan Xingning's life-saving grace.
But why does the word spirit point to the northwest
