In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north of Yunwu Mountain was full of snow flakes. At dusk, all the camps were assembled, and the whole team of 5,000 people went south together.
Yunling is very close to the capital, but its location is very remote. Because it belongs to the Luoyang garrison, many generals in the capital do not know the existence of this place. The snow was falling again, and the procession became more difficult.
Qin Wan was still riding in the big carriage that came here. There was a heater in the carriage, which made it very warm. He walked all the way south for one night. It was only after dawn that the team walked a hundred miles away. Ri Yanchi still had no intention of letting the team stop to rest, and only gave them supplies for half an hour, and then set off on the journey again.
At the front of the team, Zhou You and Yan Chi rode together on horseback, Zhou You said, "This edict has been issued, and the speed of passing the edict is faster than our speed going south, what do you think, Your Highness?"
The news was sent the night before, and Yan Chi was not surprised by the emperor's move. He took Qin Wan out of the capital, and the emperor knew what he was going to do when he thought about it, instead of waiting for him to go to Shuoxi and control Shuoxi Army, it is better to convict him of treason first, with this title, he will have to endure a lot of hardships along the way.
"Lin Xie is Lin Zhang's nephew. He is the emperor's intention to train to be the next commander of the imperial guards. He is the commander. He must have the tiger amulet that can mobilize the southern garrison. Our team is moving slowly. In addition, we I also want to go south to Jianzhou, so we'd better go separately."
Yan Chi's voice was calm, and after saying this, Zhou You smiled and said, "The final general has already guessed what His Highness thinks, we traveled southward quickly all the way, and we can still attract Lin Xie's attention, Your Highness will do what Your Highness has to do Let's meet at Shuoxi?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Mr. Qi and Chu Feicheng have been waiting in Shuoxi for a long time, you go to Liangzhou first this time, and someone will take care of you when the time comes."
Zhou Youwen said worriedly, "It's good to be so natural, but Your Highness will not wait for my protection along the way, will it be..."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips twitched, "No one can keep me when I leave the capital. On the contrary, Lin Xie is used to being domineering in the capital. Now once I leave the capital, I'm afraid he won't be used to it. You Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."
Zhou You nodded, and Yan Chi said again, "Today we can go to Luozhou before dark, we will discuss the details when we arrive in Luozhou, I will find two people who are familiar with Shuoxi to go with you, so when we arrive in Liangzhou, there will be someone to lead the way. "
Zhou You responded repeatedly, looked back, and said softly, "Your Highness, can the princess bear it?"
They walked all night last night, and now that the day is bright, the team just took a short rest and continued walking. Even though Zhou You is a rough man, he was a little worried that the princess would not be able to bear it.
Yan Chi also glanced back, with a flash of pity in his eyes, "She knows the overall situation, even if her body can't bear it, she won't say anything."
Zhou You was pleased when he heard it, "When the prince was alive, he was most concerned about His Highness's marriage. The old prince will know his temperament the most. He would never say it on weekdays. Now that His Highness has married such a good princess, the spirit of heaven will surely comfort."
Zhou You is Yan Lin's personal guard, and he has grown up with him, so he naturally cares more about Yan Chi, so there is no presumption for him to say this.
Speaking of Yan Lin, Yan Chi's eyes were slightly cold, "I thought my father would see my wedding."
Zhou You came from the Shuoxi Army and has a close relationship with Prince Rui's Mansion, so he naturally knew that Yan Lin's accident was not a coincidence, he sighed, "Fortunately His Highness has taken this step, as long as His Highness is here, there is no need to worry about not being able to avenge the Lord, say It's not a good sentence, the whole Shuoxi is waiting for His Highness to reveal the truth!"
When Yan Chi heard the words, a bit of sternness appeared on his face, "It's not my wish to come to this point."
Zhou You sighed, "The knife is on the neck, what else can your Highness do? Your Highness is also of Yan's blood. For so many years, Your Highness and the Prince have guarded the western gate of the Great Zhou. If it wasn't for the Highness and the Prince, The Shuoxi plateau has long been devastated, but His Majesty does not remember the friendship between you and the prince, so he forced you to do this. To be honest, the general originally thought that the prince has worked hard all his life, and if you continue in Shuoxi, the prince can also take care of himself. In 2008, you married a good concubine, had sons and daughters, Prince Rui's mansion was full of incense, and others who seized or not had nothing to do with our lineage, but the world is unpredictable, and I don't know that the historians will How to write…”
Historians have always condemned the crime of treason, but anyone who wants to be famous for a long time fears that the pen of a civil official is better than the sword of a military officer, but it is obvious that Yan Chi is not one who wants to be famous in history. Wish, but now that he has been forced to this step, it really forced out the evil thoughts and ambitions in his bones.
"Yeah, the world is unpredictable. It's hard work at your age to toss with me."
Yan Chi sighed, and Zhou You laughed immediately, "Your Highness, please don't say such a thing, I hope that Prince Rui's mansion will be safe and sound, but I am very unwilling to do so. You see, the general has been doing well for so many years." Nested in the small camping place in the valley, the injury has long been healed, and I have long wanted to go back to Shuoxi, but I have never had a good chance, and I am thinking that the prince will return to the capital sooner or later, and it would be better to be closer to the capital at the end. That's why I didn't move the place. Now that the emperor is pushing people too hard, it just so happens that the last general, who doesn't accept his old age, is also doing him a favor! It doesn't matter whether he succeeds or loses, when he goes underground, the last general has no shame in meeting the prince..."
Yan Chi's heart was naturally full of relief, his father was quite a man of knowledge, and those who followed him back then, whether they were guards or servants, all those who were capable later got rid of slavery and went to official careers, but so For many years, those who died in battle, and those who could not persevere and left Shuoxi for a prosperous life, but in the end, those who remained were all loyal people who could take care of their father and king.
Yan Chi and Zhou You made plans for going south while traveling, and in the evening, the team arrived at Xiangyeling, north of Luozhou. This place is very close to Luozhou, but the team of more than 5,000 people was too large. Naturally, it is impossible to follow the official path again, so after Yan Chi and Zhou You agreed, they immediately decided to take a small road southward, go to Yuzhou to Liangzhou, and Yan Chi himself took Qin Wan and his own guards to Yuanzhou to build state.
They walked all night and day, so they rested in the middle of the night before starting again.
At Mao's hour, Yan Chi took the disguised small team up the official road to Luozhou City.
