My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Luzhenla is mostly mountains and plateaus, with overlapping mountains and dense forests.

Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses marched with difficulty in the dense forests of mountains and mountains. Most of the time, the mounts of the Yan army could not be ridden, and they could only lead the horses.

But along the way, although the speed was slow, there were no surprises.

As Wang Lin said before, the Yan army may not be used to the humid and hot climate in the mountains and forests, and they are not familiar with the geographical conditions, which reduces the combat effectiveness of the Yan army to a certain extent, but the Yan army is hard-working and tenacious, which shocked Duan Wanqing Surprisingly, there was no large-scale lag behind.

Gao Jianchang's [-] Dali Army marched forward with dozens of local guides, followed by the main force of the Yan Army.

Out of prudent considerations, Wang Lin adopted the method of staggered marches in batches.

That is, rest when the first batch arrives at the set target location, and when the second batch arrives, the first batch continues to move forward, and the second batch rests.

In this way, the staggered marching prevents the army from falling into the siege of the Lu Chenla people due to fatigue marching or unfamiliar terrain.

After staying in the vast dense forest and mountains for several days, in fact, Yan Jun gradually became familiar with and adapted to it.

After all, for most of the Yan army, it has been a while since they entered Dali, and they have obvious acceptance of the climate and environment in Southeast Asia.

As mentioned earlier, the current Lu Chenla was originally a part of the Chenla Kingdom, but now it is almost split apart, and there is no unified political power inside, and each city acts on its own.

In fact, Wang Lin led the army through the dense forests of the mountains, and gradually approached Wencheng, Lu Zhenla's most marginal sphere of influence.

The soldiers and horses of Wencheng Kunsai family have monitored this huge foreign army.

The reason why there was no action was that the origin and whereabouts of the Yan army were temporarily unclear, and the second was that the army was dignified, marching in an orderly manner, and the number of people was large.

What surprised Duan Wanqing the most was the strict military discipline of the Yan army.

The army was huge, but during the march, there was not a single noise or noise.

And eating, drinking, repairing, and camping are all in order.

The emperor casually said that no one is allowed to drink the water in the mountains and forests without authorization. Even if they have to drink it, they must boil it. According to Duan Wanqing's observation, no soldier violated it.

Duan Wanqing knew that this was an important factor for the Yan army not to reduce its personnel and not fall behind during the march.

Duan Wanqing blushed when she saw the emperor walking behind her was sweating profusely, took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it over.

Wang Lin was also polite, took it over, touched the beads of sweat, and stuffed them into his arms.

Duan Wanqing's face turned even redder, and she handed over her water bag again.

Wang Lin took the water bag, but quietly stuffed a piece of food into Duan Wanqing's hand.

Duan Wanqing's heart trembled, this was the ration Wang Lin gave her last night, something called compressed biscuits, sweet and delicious, which Duan Wanqing had only seen in her life.

The young Princess Jinhua held the biscuit tightly, and was not willing to eat it, but quietly wrapped it in a soft handkerchief and hid it close to her body.

Wang Lin noticed Duan Wanqing's small movements, smiled and didn't say much.

Wang Lin knew that Duan Wanqing had been wondering where Yan Jun's logistics supplies came from, but he also knew that this was Wang Lin's biggest secret and dared not speak up. He knew it well, but he couldn't explain it.

His two years of prestige and feats have been accumulated and have not been exchanged for use. What he did was to play a role at critical moments.

What's more, Yan Jun also carried several days of rations with him.

……

Wencheng.

This is a small fringe city in Luzhenla, controlled by the Kunsai family, the largest merchant family in Luchenla, and Xiaonan's father, Kunsai, is the lord of the city.

Ever since Xiaonan rescued a beautiful Han woman from Dali and arrived in Wencheng, it caused a lot of shock inside Wencheng, mainly because Murong Wan'er's beauty and beauty almost immediately aroused the attention of everyone in Wencheng. The coveted children of the powerful family.

The power structure in Wencheng is dominated by the Kunsai family, but there are two other families in the city, named Xisai family and Dongzhi family.

Peng Xi, the eldest son of the Xisai family, met Murong Wan'er when he entered the city with Xiao Nan's caravan, and he was amazed and attracted to heaven.

Then they sent people to the Kunsai family to propose marriage.

At the beginning, under Xiao Nan's leadership, this matter was rejected by the Kunsai family.

But then, Pengxi offered to exchange a hundred elephants, ten carts of spices, 200 servants and five hundred catties of tea from Dali in exchange for Murong Wan's son and a daughter.

Pengxi's conditions are a huge fortune for Lu Zhenla.

Great profits confuse people's hearts, and Kun Sai was immediately moved.

Murong Wan'er was furious in her heart, but she was helpless.Her body is still very weak and has not fully recovered, otherwise she would have left long ago.

Despite Xiao Nan's strong opposition, Kun Sai finally made the decision to hand over Murong Wan'er in exchange for the property of the Xisai family.

evening.

Tomorrow is the day when the Xisai family will come to pick them up.

Xiao Nan hurriedly jumped up to her bamboo building, pushed away the room where Murong Wan'er was, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wan'er, Xiao Nan is sorry, Pengxi will come to bring someone tomorrow, Xiao Nan thought about it, but there is nothing else to do." The only solution is for me to take my sister out of Wencheng overnight, and then find a way to help her return to Dali."

Murong Wan'er's face was pale, but there was a gentle and calm smile on her face: "Xiao Nan, my sister knows what you mean, but I'm still seriously injured, and I can't walk too far. We can't escape Wencheng. And even if Even if they escaped from the city, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Kunsai and Xisai families.

Xiao Nan, don't be afraid, don't worry about my sister.Tomorrow my sister will follow Na Pengxi to the Xisai family, but my sister wants to see what he dares to do to me. "

Xiao Nan said anxiously: "Sister, if you go to the Xisai family, how can you get out?"

Murong Wan'er's hand hidden in her long sleeves tightly held a cold dagger, she had a graceful smile on her face, but her heart was as cold as ice.

If Pengxi really dared to be rude to her, she would fight to the death, kill Pengxi and then commit suicide. It is absolutely impossible for these barbarians to tarnish her innocence.

Murong Wan'er harbored the will to die.

At this moment, Wang Lin's heroic face appeared involuntarily before her eyes.

There was a touch of tenderness in her heart, tears in her eyes, but she secretly said: Your Majesty, Wan'er can no longer serve His Majesty, only to continue her relationship in the next life.

The kind-hearted Xiao Nan felt extremely guilty.

She didn't expect that she would save Murong Wan'er, lead her away from the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den again.

Seeing Murong Wan'er in such a state, how could she not guess that Murong Wan'er didn't want to implicate her, and had already developed a will to die.

But escaping overnight is indeed extremely difficult.

The probability of being captured by the family or dying in the deep mountains and dense forests is extremely high.

The girl's emotions were agitated, she had mixed feelings, and she didn't know what to say, so she threw herself into Murong Wan'er's arms, and burst into tears.
