The summer dawn always comes very early. It was not yet midnight, and according to modern time, it was about four o'clock in the morning, and the convoy of the palace was ready to go.

The 20 special combat team members who served as escorts, each riding strong horses, escorted the four wagons transporting supplies. These materials included dry food, drinking water and weapons, and of course, a whole cart of silver taels and various gifts, which Zhu Youzhen specially prepared for Qi Xianzong, that is, the dowry required to marry Qi Meifeng.

And Qi Meifeng and Li Zhenyan are also dressed in tight-fitting suits, sitting upright on their respective horses. Qi Meifeng's mount is called "Qianli Xue", and the horse is as its name suggests, with a snow-white body and no miscellaneous hair. Qi Meifeng, who was on the horse, looked more and more heroic against its backdrop.

And Li Zhenyan's mount is a black horse named "Daiyun", and her jet-black and shiny body hair is as shiny as satin.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched a carriage tightly blocked by a curtain in the middle. This carriage was personally driven by Shi Biao, a veteran of the Qi family's army, and the carriage should be the protagonist of this trip, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qin, was inspected.

But at this time, Zhu Youzhen was not in the carriage, he was still in the wing room where Zhu Cunqi stayed, and he wanted to say goodbye to the county lord who had waded together and hugged each other for warmth.

Zhu Cunqi looked at Zhu Youzhen carefully, and saw that he had changed into his own outfit, his face was rubbed with some rouge gouache, and his lips were also coated with a thick layer of lip gloss. Not to mention, it's really handsome to dress up. She looked a little like laughing, but her heart was always heavy, and her eyes were a little moist, so she could only barely squeeze out a smile and said: "Cunqi wishes His Highness a safe journey, everything goes well, return to the palace as soon as possible, and marry Meifeng!" ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't see the loneliness in her eyes, so he had to apologize: "County Lord, I really wronged you this time." I know you're most tired of being in the house, but for my sake, you've taken the risk and made such a big sacrifice, I... I don't even know how to thank you enough! ”

"Your Highness, don't say that!" Zhu Cunqi said busily, "Cunqi has been like this since childhood, and I have long been used to it. I like to listen to Zhenyan tell me those anecdotes about what she has seen, and I just hope that after His Royal Highness returns, he can also tell Cunqi what he saw on the road, and Cunqi will be satisfied. ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart was hot, and he blurted out: "That's for sure!" But it's not fun to just listen to. The conditions are not allowed yet, but please believe me, one day, I will definitely take you to travel the world and enjoy the beautiful scenery of China! ”

"Really?" Zhu Cunqi's eyes suddenly bloomed with eagerness, but it was fleeting, and then he couldn't help but shed tears. She really can't believe that she can have this day, and she can't believe that she can travel with Zhu Youzhen!

At this moment, Zhu Cunqi couldn't help but secretly envy his friend Li Zhenyan in his heart! is also a princess, she can walk with Zhu Youzhen generously, and even if she doesn't have to pretend to be Zhu Youzhen, because of the name of her sister and brother, I am afraid that she will never have this opportunity.

Therefore, she could only turn around ruthlessly, and while letting the sour tears flow freely, she said in a slightly trembling voice: "It's not too early, please set off for Your Highness!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was also stunned in his heart, and he stayed for a moment before he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Cunqi, I'm leaving, take care!" Trust me, I'm going to talk! ”

After that, he reluctantly withdrew. As soon as he took a few steps, Zhu Cunqi couldn't help but chase after the door, and choked up: "Your Highness... Take care, too! ”

Zhu Youzhen choked in his throat, almost burst into tears, hurriedly arched his hand, and hurriedly turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, before he reached the gate, Chen Yuanyuan stood in front of him with a small burden, and mustered up the courage to say softly: "Your Highness, Yuanyuan wants to walk with you!" ”

"Oh?" This was completely unexpected by Zhu Youzhen. Since she ransomed Chen Yuanyuan, she seems to be deliberately avoiding herself, and she hasn't seen each other for two days. Zhu Youzhen was busy arranging various matters, and he forgot about her for a while.

But Chen Yuanyuan was very brave at this time, although he was so nervous that his delicate body was trembling slightly. She said eagerly: "Yuanyuan is out of the sea of suffering, although I am very happy, but I always have nightmares at night, and I dreamed that I was caught back to Jinling Yanyu Building." When I woke up, I still had palpitations. Without the protection of His Royal Highness, Yuanyuan is really afraid that her mother will come to the door again to ask for someone! Your Highness, take Yuanyuan away, only by your side, Yuanyuan is not afraid of those bad people! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that she was like a frightened bird, and her delicate appearance was really pitiful to me. Thinking that this trip was not a war, and it would not be a big deal to bring one more person, he smiled and said: "Then let's go together, you can also go to Dengzhou to see the sea and relax!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan was very grateful, and walked out of the house side by side with Zhu Youzhen. Bao Yulian and the four sisters who were hiding in the corner watched the two disappear from sight, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and prayed silently in their hearts: Fortunately, Yuanyuan listened to the persuasion of several people, and fortunately, the prince was willing to take her with him! She is so floating in the year of Shaohua, and I hope to have a good home in the future!

Out of the house, Zhu Youzhen briefly told Qi Meifeng and Li Zhenyan about the new situation. The second daughter also has a good impression of Chen Yuanyuan, and it is also a great pleasure to have a talented woman who moves the world as a companion on the journey, so they are all overjoyed. Chen Yuanyuan and the fake "Zhu Cunqi" were helped into the carriage, and then an order was given, and everyone escorted the convoy to the outside of Qinwangzhuang.

Zhu Youzhen in the car lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the scenery outside the window affectionately. At this time, it is not too bright, and the hard-working people have already started a busy day. The men washed their faces and brushed their teeth, expelled drowsiness as soon as possible, and prepared to work; The women were either sweeping the court or preparing breakfast for the family. The children carry their textbooks behind their backs and read aloud the texts they learned yesterday; The old people either punched and kicked their legs, or spontaneously cleaned the streets. No matter who it is, everyone has a satisfied smile on their faces, and everyone's hearts are full of hope for a new day!

That's happiness! This is the home I want to protect and build! Zhu Youzhen's eyes were moist, and he had secretly made up his mind in his heart that one day, he would let the people in other places live the same beautiful life!

In a short time, the convoy passed through two city walls and stepped on the wide and flat Xiqin Highway. At this time, the sun had just broken out of the horizon, and the eastern sky was dyed a beautiful golden color. The heat of the sun has not yet had time to scorch the ground, and the road is lined with green trees, so everyone feels very cool and comfortable.

Zhu Youzhen also got out of the car and asked his subordinates to lead his jujube red horse. This horse was still a gift from Da Yu'er, and he has been following Zhu Youzhen for several months, and he is still in good spirits. At this moment, although he was being led by the special combat team, he still snorted irritably, and it was not until he saw Zhu Youzhen that he quieted down, and rubbed his shoulder affectionately.

Zhu Youzhen flew on the horse, stroked the horse's mane lovingly, looked at the distant horizon in the distance, and shouted proudly: "Drive!" Then he galloped away. Everyone followed closely, and their faces were reflected in the fiery morning sun.
