Huayan had a good night's dream, and when she woke up the next day, Yunchi was no longer by her side.
She glanced out of the window, it was just dawn, and she reached out to touch the quilt beside her, which had been cold for a long time, she hugged the quilt and sat up.
Caiqing heard the movement and asked in a low voice at the door, "Crown Princess, are you awake?"
Huayan let out a "hmm".
Cai Qing pushed open the door and came in, with a three-pointed crispness and simplicity, said, "His Royal Highness went to the study early in the morning. It seems that something happened in the war, and this is an urgent report."
Huayan frowned, thinking that with Lu Zhiling and An Shuli around, what emergency could happen in the war? Could it be Mei Shuyu? She immediately said, "I'll wash up and go to the study to have a look."
Caiqing nodded, and hurriedly helped Huayan wash and change her clothes.
Huayan tidied up quickly, left the room, and walked towards the study.
The study room in the palace is guarded by heavy soldiers. Seeing Huayan arrive, everyone salutes, very respectful, "Crown Princess"
Huayan stopped in her tracks.
Xiao Zhongzi heard the movement, trotted out from inside, and slapped Huayan, "Crown Princess, Your Highness invites you in."
The heavily guarded soldiers immediately moved out of the way.
Huayan stepped into the study.
Yun Chi was standing in front of a table with a topographic map of the southwest region and a battle report on the side. Seeing Huayan come in, he raised his head to look at her, his warm eyebrows were a little gentle, "Why do you wake up?" so early"
Huayan glanced at the situation in the study, and asked him, "Did something happen to Mei Shuyu?"
Yun Chi nodded, "How did you guess that something happened to Mei Shuyu?"
Hua Yan immediately said, "An Shuli and Lu Zhiling are not idle people, not to mention having the same ability to move the wind. Even if some things are difficult, they will definitely not fall into danger. I will listen to the interview after I wake up." Qing said that there is an urgent report, it must be Mei Shuyu's urgent report."
Yun Chi put his hand on his forehead, "I want him to practice and be useful in the future, but if something happens to him, how can I explain to my grandfather and Meifu?"
"What's the matter?" Hua Yan walked to his side.
Yun Chi reached out to give her the urgent report, and said at the same time, "Jing Ji'an had already surrendered to me, but when I heard that the king of Southern Xinjiang was imprisoned secretly by me, and the princess Ye Xiangming was sent out of Southern Xinjiang by me, there was a rebellion against me." Xin, he secretly contacted and summoned 100,000 soldiers from Xijun. He knew that An Shuli and Lu Zhiling were not easy to deal with, so he specifically picked Mei Shuyu, and diverted him around Cuixia Valley to go to Huiyan City behind Nanyi. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were trapped, and the battle has been going on for three days and nights, and more than half of the 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost. The hidden guard of the Mei Mansion who sent the battle report broke out, delivered the battle report to me covered in blood, and then passed away. and died."
Huayan took the urgent report, glanced at it quickly, and raised her eyebrows.
Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "Although An Shuli and Lu Zhiling have large troops in their hands, they are far away. Even if they get the news, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and the rescue is too late. And the 30,000 troops guarding the capital city in southern Xinjiang As early as the day you broke into the Gu Palace, you were sent out by me, and now there are only less than 10,000 people left in the capital. Mei Shuyu has lasted for three days, and I am afraid that it will not exceed two days at most. If there are less than 10,000 horses to go, it will be too late."
Huayan pondered for a moment and said, "Jing Ji'an's grandma and sister and I are old friends. Four years ago, his grandmother was seriously ill. It was Qiuyue who rescued her. On the way to the southwest, his sister Xiaojin gave Jing Ji'an Made clothes and shoes, and asked me to bring them to him. At that time, I didn't expect to meet Lu Zhiling and Mei Shuyu on the road. I originally wanted to use Jing Ji'an's hand to enter the capital city of southern Xinjiang, so I agreed. Later, because I met For the two of them, I put this matter aside, and I haven't seen Jing Ji'an so far."
"Oh." Yunchi turned his head to look at Huayan.
Hua Yan said, "Immediately summon the 10,000 troops that are insufficient in the capital, and we will immediately set off for the Cuixia Valley. At the same time, let Seventeen take the things that Xiaojin gave me in the past, and take the Hua family's secret guards to see Jing Ji'an." After finishing speaking, she looked at the terrain map, drew a line with her fingertips, and said firmly, "The capital is 1,500 miles away from Cuixia Valley. This road is not the shortest. I know the one that is the closest. The mountain road only needs a thousand miles, we march quickly on the mountain road I know, and we will surely reach it in two days and nights, but Seventeen only needs to hold Jing Ji'an for one more day, and I will have a way to get Mei Shuyu out of trouble."
Hearing this, Yun Chi looked at her intently, and said softly, "Your body is not yet."
Huayan raised her face and said, "Look at me. Although the toxins in my body have not been completely removed, it is not powerless. I can bear the rush of marching, not to mention Qiuyue, she followed, over the mountains and mountains I'm not afraid. I haven't paid back the favor I owed to Mei Shuyu, so nothing will happen to him no matter what."
Yun Chi pursed his lips, "Okay"
Hua Yan smiled at him, "There is no Southern Border King in this capital city of Southern Border."
And Princess Ye Xiangming, those people in the Southern Border Clan are not in a good position. The Southern Border Kingdom has been abolished, and this is an abandoned city. We leave today, and there is no need to turn back. You have to smooth the southwest, it doesn’t matter where you sit , I am here now for the sake of detoxification and healing for me, take all your confidential things in this study, and we will set off immediately. You order soldiers, I'll go find Seventeen. "
Yun Chi also smiled, "Okay."
Huayan stepped out of the study.
Yun Chi's voice sounded behind him, "Little Faithful, send an order to order troops."
An Shiqi rested all night, woke up early in the morning, very refreshed, saw Huayan coming in a hurry, and was surprised, "Young master, what happened?"
Huayan quickly and succinctly told him about Mei Shuyu's entrapment. The things that Xiaojin had given her were in the Alai Restaurant, and he asked him to take the hidden guards of Hua's family to get the things and set off immediately to see Jing Ji'an. Give the things to him. If he cares about Grandma and Xiao Jin, let him stop immediately. If he ignores the thoughts and resists to the end, then find a way to control him. If you can't control him, hold him for a day.
An Shiqi was familiar with Mei Shuyu, and knew that Mei Shuyu had helped Huayan a lot, so he nodded immediately, without delay, and led her out of the palace.
Half an hour later, Yun Chi finished counting troops, Xiao Zhongzi had already ordered someone to quickly pack up the important things in the bag, and Qiuyue and Caiqing brought all the medicinal materials.
They all knew that this trip was going to rescue, and they had to march quickly on mountain roads, and horse-drawn carriages could not be used, so they had to travel lightly on horseback, so they all carried large packages on their backs.
Xiao Zhongzi said to Yun Chi, "Your Highness, there are some things that cannot be taken away. The slave thinks that after you save Young Master Yu Er, send someone back to get them. Those are things that His Highness is used to, so you can't throw them away."
Yun Chi nodded, "I'll talk about it after saving people. Things are outside the body."
Xiao Zhongzi should be, so don't say more.
Huayan walked up to a horse, and Yun Chi reached out and grabbed his hand, "How about you ride a horse by yourself, I'll take you."
Huayan shook her head, "No, this horse has a thick saddle on it. I'm not that delicate yet. One horse can't carry two people fast. We have to be fast."
Yun Chi let go.
Huayan got on the horse, grabbed the reins, and said, "Let's go."
Yun Chi also got on the horse, and saw that although Hua Yan was usually dressed in a light blue brocade dress instead of a riding outfit, riding like this on the horse gave her a bit of carefree and heroic spirit. , very different from her who was lazily lying on the chaise longue and basking in the sun.
At that time, under the sunlight, he saw it more than once, lazy, soft, weak and boneless like a cat.
At this moment, also under the sunlight, it was the first time he saw her. She was sitting upright, although she was also slender and soft, but she was unrestrained, light, heroic, and eye-catching.
This is Huayan, she seems to have thousands of postures.
He hurriedly marched out of the southern border capital city, followed Huayan's lead, and after 30 miles out of the city, entered the deep mountains, taking a road that was completely absent on the topographical map.
This road is a narrow path with deep trees on both sides, but people and horses can climb it.
Unlike the official road where you can gallop on horseback, you need to walk a section of mountain road and then walk a section of flat road, ride a horse for a while and then walk for a while.
Half a day later, based on official calculations, it was six hundred miles away from the capital.
Yun Chi secretly calculated that this road is indeed a shortcut. Even if you take the official road and march fast, it will take up to 400 miles in half a day.
When Yun Chi got off the horse and climbed away, he saw fine sweat on the tip of Huayan's nose on his forehead, and felt a little distressed, so he let go of the horse's reins and let the horse walk on its own, reached out to hold Huayan's hand, and said softly, "Can't take it anymore?"
Huayan shook her head, "No, her body is weak and she just sweated a little, so it's not unbearable."
Qiuyue took out a jade bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and passed it to Huayan, "Miss, take this."
Before Huayan reached out, Yunchi took it and fed it straight to the corner of Huayan's mouth. Huayan swallowed it, wiped her sweat with her sleeve and said, "It's such a hot weather, I'm very bored, I'm afraid there will be a meal at night. Heavy rain." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the sky and nodded affirmatively, "Well, after midnight, there will be a heavy rain."
Yun Chi also took a look at the sky, then turned to Xiao Zhongzi and asked, "Can I bring a raincoat?"
Xiao Zhongzi immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, it will rain anytime at this time of year, and this servant is wearing a rain cape, so I'm afraid that the princess will be drenched by rain on the road."
Yun Chi smiled, "That's right, I'll reward you when I go back."
Xiao Zhongzi immediately smiled, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of kneeling on the mountain road, he would have to kneel to thank him immediately.
