Chapter 718: Wind and Snow Mountain City (Reward and Change)
That's good, it's a rare one. Lian Rongsheng waved his hand, "Go, don't want your mother-in-law." ”
Yan Saburo bowed respectfully to him three times, and then turned around and left.
In the past five years, he has benefited a lot from Lian Rongsheng.
It wasn't until the boy was about to disappear at the end of the garden that Lian Rongsheng turned his head to look at his back and sighed faintly. The old butler stood aside and sighed: "He was a good boy at the beginning, and he will definitely get ahead in the future." ”
Lian Rongsheng stroked his long beard and smiled: "Do you still need to say it?"
The road is long and obstructive, and there is always a danger around him, in the future, the kid has to do it himself.
More than ten days later, outsiders arrived in Chunming City one after another to inquire about Yan Shichu.
It's a pity that people go to the empty building.
¥¥¥¥¥
Shenshi, heavy snowfall.
The brigade walked in the countryside, and the dense forest blocked the last bit of light, so that people could not even see the path clearly.
The speed of their march became slower and slower, but the wind and snow became heavier and stronger, and the blow on them was full of force.
A knight was summoned to the side of the splendid carriage, and after listening to a few words, he mounted his horse and galloped forward, until he reached the front of the procession, and said to the leader: "General Lu, Her Royal Highness the princess asks you when you can rest!"
"One more hour. General Lu wiped the snow off his eyebrows, "It's almost time to reach Sanjiao Town." He was over fifty years old, and his hair was a little gray, but his eyes were still bright, and his back was still straight.
"You said that half an hour ago. The knight said politely, "Your Highness urgently needs to rest!"
"Please be at ease, princess, and we will find a place to stay as soon as possible. ”
When the knight turned around and went back to his life, the lieutenant general next to General Lu said unhappily: "I urged three times in two hours, as if we really wanted to rush through the snow." ”
"That's the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, and she rarely suffers like this. General Lu was not annoyed, but just sighed, "The snow on the road is too thick, and I walk slowly." It's my fault, I shouldn't have robbed this mountain road. ”
"It's none of your business, it's the snow that is falling so well for no reason. "At this time, it was as dark as evening. The climate in the mountains is changeable, the sky is still clear in the morning, and now the snow is flying, who to reason with?
At this time, I heard the sound of hooves in a hurry, and I rode forward, and saw General Lu jumping off his horse and saluting: "General, there is a small town ahead, and the lights are bright!"
The adjutant general said happily: "General!"
General Lu's brows did not stretch, but frowned even tighter: "How far?"
"Two miles ahead, you can see it from the top of the mountain. The sentry replied, "The town is in a valley, and it will take at least four miles down the hill to reach it." ”
"How big is the town?"
"At the foot of the mountain, there are about three or four thousand people living in houses. ”
That's not a small deal.
General Lu immediately followed the sentry forward. They had already walked halfway up the mountain, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and sure enough, there were bright lights in the valley below, and there were thousands of lights.
The night and the lights combine to outline the house, which looks particularly warm in the twilight.
A mountain city of this size has at least a post station and a restaurant. Covered in snow and ice, all they miss now is a steaming bowl of noodle soup.
Thinking of this, the adjutant couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
General Lu stared at the town at the foot of the mountain: "I haven't seen this town." ”
The lieutenant general smiled: "Maybe you didn't pass by here last time." ”
"I've walked this road no less than three times!" General Lu's face was not relaxed, "I have never seen this valley or this town!"
The adjutant didn't know what to say.
General Lu waved his hand: "Turn around, let's go another way!"
But, but......
The adjutant general looked at his face, held the words back into his stomach, and obediently ordered.
At least half of the people in the group saw the lights below the cliff, thinking that they would have a hot meal in an hour, but the general ordered them to turn around and move away!
"Let's go, let's go!" As soon as he turned around, the front team and the rear team showed a difference.
Their uniforms are different, and it looks like two teams are being put together.
After a while, the knight in the rear came again: "General Lu, Your Highness is invited!"
Sure enough, the princess will not give up. General Lu's beard moved, and he went with him.
The rear team was surrounded by several large carts, and the front and rear soldiers were full of armor, and the guards were very thorough. When General Lu arrived, the army opened an opening, allowing him to get close to the carriage.
One of the carts was sheathed with six white horses, each of which was a great horse. The body is wide and delicate, with light gold veins on the surface. General Lu knew that this was not only for the sake of good looks, but also to nest several defensive formations to ensure the safety of the people in the car.
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a face of a shy moon.
This is Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's just that her eyebrows are frowned, and her face is full of displeasure: "General Lu, why don't you go into the town to rest, but take a long road!"
After getting along for many days, General Lu already knew that this was a difficult person to mess with: "This town, we didn't see it when we came." For the safety of His Highness, it's better not to get closer. ”
"When you came?" said the princess, curiously, "the same path you took when you came?"
"Actually, it's not just now, I walked this road 10 or 15 years ago, and the scenery along the way hasn't changed much. General Lu said, "I clearly remember that looking out from the cliff is another mountain, and there is no such valley or this town at all!"
The princess turned her head to look at the lieutenant general beside him: "What about you? You have been following General Lu, do you remember the original scene here?"
"This ......" the lieutenant hesitated slightly.
They had traveled more than 1,000 miles, so how could he have memorized an inconspicuous piece of terrain in the wilderness? Among the mountains, the terrain is very similar, nothing more than rolling ups and downs and mountain roads that go around in circles. "Remember!"
"Lie!" the princess sneered, "General Lu, you are really loyal. She ignored the lieutenant's swollen face, "What are you afraid of, there are more than 2,000 elites behind us! Even if that town is full of strangers, we can handle it!"
"Your Highness. General Lu said sincerely, "After walking for another hour, we will be able to reach Sanjiao Town." ”
"You said that an hour ago!" the princess raised her eyebrows, "General Lu has such a resounding name, I heard that you pursued the bandit army for three days and three nights, and finally took down the head of the leader of the rebels. How can a small town in a ravine scare you?"
Without waiting for General Lu to answer, she turned her head to her cavalry and said, "Pass my order, go down the mountain and stay!"
General Lu was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, let me ...... first"
"No, I can't. She directly lowered the curtain of the car, no longer talking to General Lu, only a clear voice came from the car, "Go!"
