Female General And Eldest Princess

After more than an hour, Lin Wanyue came back with sweat on her forehead.

Lin Wanyue came to Li Xian's hiding place, got off the donkey cart, led the donkey cart to the side of the road, tied the donkey to a tree, pulled the rein with her hands, and made sure the rein would not be loose before heading towards the woods walk.

The forest was very quiet, Lin Wanyue could even hear her own heartbeat, Lin Wanyue was very nervous, she walked mechanically, her palms were sweating, her throat was tight.

She was a little scared, afraid that she would not see Li Xian's figure, and also afraid that what she saw was Li Xian's body.

Although she had already used the fastest speed, it still took a lot of time to go back and forth.

Lin Wanyue has lived for 16 years, and her heart has never been so flustered. Along the way, she returned to her heart like an arrow, and screamed at the donkey pulling the cart.

Now that she finally came back, she became afraid instead.

Lin Wanyue stepped on the thick dead leaves under her feet, feeling like she was stepping on cotton, for fear that she would end up seeing an unacceptable ending.

On the way back to Huzhou City, Lin Wanyue thought a lot about who wanted to assassinate Li Xian?

But Lin Wanyue, who lacks political sensitivity, couldn't figure out the reason after much deliberation. A princess who has lived in the deep palace for a long time can neither win the heirloom nor have any enemies in the world, and the princess's accompanying items did not bring anything. Rare treasures.

Lin Wanyue couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. In the end, the only thing she could be sure of was: those men in black were not easy. With nine people, they could fight the elite soldiers handpicked by Li Mu to a tie, or even have a slight upper hand. It cannot be cultivated by ordinary people.

The trees in this forest were very lush. It was autumn at this time, and there were occasional fallen leaves. Lin Wanyue walked in the forest, slowly going deep, looking around, but did not find Li Xian's figure.

Lin Wanyue wiped the sweat off her forehead, and looked around anxiously, did she come back late?

Lin Wanyue clenched her fists tightly.

"Princess, are you there?"

Hearing Lin Wanyue's voice, Li Xian appeared from behind a thick tree trunk, holding Lin Wanyue's saber in both hands.

Lin Wanyue saw Li Xian standing there intact, and her hanging heart finally landed safely. With a surprised expression, she strode up to Li Xian: "Princess, I'm back!"

Li Xian raised her head slightly to look at the person in front of her. At this moment, he had already changed into an ordinary coarse cloth shirt. There was sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and some of it even trickled down his dark face slowly. But it was bright, staring at himself with surprise that couldn't be concealed.

All the thoughts in his heart were reflected on his face, without a trace of concealment, without a trace of falsehood, it was so simple and clear.

Seeing Lin Wanyue like this, for some reason, a trace of envy flashed in Li Xian's heart. She used to have such an expression, and she lost it at some point.

"You've worked hard, Commander Lin." Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue and smiled.

Lin Wanyue took the saber from Li Xian's hand, and then gave Li Xian a big smile, her already white teeth were a bit dazzling against the dark face.

"Princess, I have everything I need to buy, and we can go."

"En." Li Xian nodded, followed Lin Wanyue, and walked out of the dense forest together.

At the side of the road, Lin Wanyue scratched her head in embarrassment and said to Li Xian guiltily: "Princess, I don't have much money, and I thought it would be inconvenient for two people to go on the road together, so I gave the horse to you." I sold it, it was a military horse, and I sold it for a good price. Then I traded for the donkey cart, bought some clothes for the princess, and bought dry food for the road and some other things. I still had some money left. It’s just that I’m going to wrong the princess.”

Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue, and replied: "It is a blessing in misfortune to be able to survive now, how can you be picky about these things, Captain Lin, you did a good job, and that horse is indeed too eye-catching. This donkey cart is better and more convenient.”

Hearing that Li Xian agreed with her point of view, Lin Wanyue immediately showed a big smile, and said to Li Xian: "Princess, get in the car, I have prepared the clothes for you in the car, you go and change into it." , I will guard here, after changing, give me your clothes, and I will deal with it."

"it is good."

Li Xian got into the carriage, the small carriage can accommodate at most two people, this is the simplest carriage she has ever sat in, no, it is a donkey carriage.

There were a few bags on one side of the carriage, and Li Xian opened the bag that was placed in the most conspicuous place, and inside was indeed a set of clothes worn by ordinary peasant women.

Li Xian changed her clothes in the narrow compartment. Although these things were always taken care of by people, the common people's clothes were very simple to put on, and Li Xian could do it herself.

"Captain Lin, I've changed."

After speaking, Li Xian walked out of the carriage holding the palace attire she had changed.

Lin Wanyue's eyes lit up when she saw Li Xian appearing in front of her wearing a peasant woman's clothes.

Lin Wanyue has never seen a person who can wear peasant women's clothes so beautifully. Everyone in the world says that Buddha depends on gold clothes, and people depend on clothes.

But now Li Xian took off her noble palace attire and put on the coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, unexpectedly...

It was still hard to hide her character, although Li Xian lost a little bit of extravagance because of taking off the palace clothes, but it unexpectedly gave Li Xian a little more natural beauty.

It is said that the clothes complement people, but when the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary peasant women came to Li Xian, the value of the clothes immediately doubled.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lin Wanyue in a daze, Li Xian couldn't help asking.

"Well... I've never seen anyone who can wear peasant women's clothes so beautifully."

Lin Wanyue subconsciously said what was in her heart, and when she saw Li Xian's eyes bent, she suddenly felt that she was abrupt, her dark face immediately heated up, she took the palace dress that Li Xian was holding, and hurriedly turned to face her. Walking in the woods, he said as he walked, "I, I'm going to deal with the princess's clothes."

But after walking two steps, he turned back, stood in front of Li Xian, put the palace clothes on the donkey cart first, then took out a small dagger from his bosom, handed it to Li Xian and said: " I bought this princess in Huzhou City, it is the right size, easy to carry, and not too heavy, so you can hold it."

"Thank you."

Li Xian took the dagger that Lin Wanyue handed over, and there was still the warmth of Lin Wanyue's body on it.

Lin Wanyue picked up her saber, picked up her palace clothes, thought for a while and was still a little uneasy, so she said to Li Xian: "The princess should go with me."

Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue and nodded.

The two came to the dense forest, Lin Wanyue picked an open space, first squatted down and gathered the dead leaves on the ground and put them aside until the surface was exposed, Lin Wanyue folded Li Xian's palace clothes and put them aside, Then he took a knife and dug in the ground.

After a while, Lin Wanyue dug a big hole, threw the knife aside, then put Li Xian's palace clothes into the hole, and began to fill it with soil.

Li Xian has been watching Lin Wanyue's movements, and saw that Lin Wanyue filled the hole and stepped on it, sprinkled the remaining soil evenly on it, paved it flat, and then hugged the dead leaves before and sprinkled it in place.

After finishing, Lin Wanyue still moved her steps to look at the place where the clothes were buried, and after checking everything was correct, she nodded in satisfaction and said to Li Xian, "I'm sure you won't be able to see it now, princess, let's go."

Li Xian was satisfied with Lin Wanyue's handling method, and gave Lin Wanyue a judgment in her heart: be courageous and resourceful, pay attention to details, be pure, decisive, and polish it well, it will definitely become a sharp sword in Zhuer's hands in the future .

"Battling Commander Lin, don't call me the princess anymore, just call me by my name."

……

Lin Wanyue instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she thought that the current situation must be like this, the enemy is open and I am dark, if she wants to open her mouth and keep her mouth shut, wouldn't she be courting death?

Seeing Lin Wanyue's unaffected acquiescence, Li Xian was a little more satisfied with Lin Wanyue, and continued: "I don't call you Battalion Commander Lin anymore, how about calling you Feixing?"

"Just follow the princess."

"Well, you and I go out alone, it's more convenient to have an identity to cover, what do you think of Fei Xing?"

Hearing Li Xian call out her name naturally, Lin Wanyue's heartbeat started to speed up, she looked ahead and nodded.

"Well...how about pretending to be a couple."

"Ouch!"

Lin Wanyue staggered when she heard Li Xian's words, just in time a tree root was buried under the dead leaves in front of her, Lin Wanyue stumbled on it, and then fell to the ground with a "slap".

"Lin... Feixing, don't worry about it."

Li Xian didn't expect Lin Wanyue's reaction to be so big, she felt a little funny: she thought she was the eldest princess from the Li Kingdom, and she hadn't been out of the court yet, so she didn't mind, but this person got down first.

"No...it's fine."

Lin Wanyue got up from the ground, patted the floating ash on her body, and said to Li Xian without looking sideways: "Princess, let's get in the car and talk about it."

"it is good."

Li Xian followed Lin Wanyue back to the donkey cart on the side of the road, and the two got into the narrow carriage one after another, and sat facing each other, with the distance between their knees less than a foot.

"Gong...Xian...Miss, I think it's really inappropriate for us two husbands and wives to match each other. Why don't we pretend to be...Miss and coachman?"

Hearing Lin Wanyue's proposal, Li Xian looked at her with a smile and asked back: "Miss who can hire a coachman, can she ride a donkey cart? Can she dress like this? Besides, you are not afraid of being missed by thieves if you yell at each lady? "

"Then...then we can pretend to be brothers and sisters or...sisters and brothers."

Li Xian laughed even wider, and teased, "Have you ever seen siblings who don't look so different?"

Lin Wanyue's face was embarrassed, she looked at Li Xian's face that was as white as suet, and then thought about her face that was almost black as coal. If I am the bad guy who kidnapped the ticket, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

"I know what you are worried about, Fei Xing, but this is an expedient measure. There is still a long way to go before returning to Beijing. This... the journey by car is slow, and you will inevitably have to stay in a hotel. You only have the status of husband and wife. It's the most suitable, avoiding many questioning and doubts, and... if I'm already a married woman, there will be less trouble, won't I?"

Lin Wanyue thought about Li Xian's words seriously, and felt that what she said was indeed reasonable, and she also thought that she was a woman like Li Xian anyway, so it's not a big deal to call her husband and wife for safety.

After thinking this through, Lin Wanyue nodded to Li Xian and said, "Then listen to Miss Xian."

Seeing that Lin Wanyue agreed, Li Xian smiled at Lin Wanyue and said, "Just call me Xian'er."

"Then, Xian'er, let's go..."

Speaking of which, Lin Wanyue made a gesture to get out of the car, but was stopped by Li Xian.

"Wait a minute, Flying Star, I still have something to tell you."

Lin Wanyue sat down again, Li Xian said, "Actually, I probably know who sent those assassins."

"who is it?"

"It was sent by the palace, but I don't know who it is. Zuo is just those princes, King Qi, King Chu, King Yong, and even Huan'er."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Lin Wanyue widened her eyes, looked at Li Xian in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Why? Aren't they all your own older brothers, and younger brothers? Are you a murderer?"

"For the supreme position, of course."

"But you..."

"I am the elder sister of the prince's first grandmother. Zhu'er is only eight years old now. Her mother and queen passed away. If I die too, Zhu'er will have no one to rely on in the palace."

Lin Wanyue opened her mouth, the astonishment on her face did not fade.

Lin Wanyue was born in a sound family with harmonious parents and good relationship between siblings. Later, she joined the army and came to the barracks. She has never been exposed to these things from the upper class. At this moment, what she heard from Li Xian's mouth, Lin Wanyue She could figure out the stakes, but she couldn't believe the fact that the same clan was killing each other.

Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue calmly, and then said in a low voice: "I know you may not understand, but this is the ruthlessness of the royal family. The temptation of power is far greater than the weight of family ties. To tell you the truth, I This time I came out of the palace with some purpose. After all, your general is my own uncle. After the death of my mother and concubine, the life of Zhuer and I in the palace was full of dangers. , maybe those vassal kings are afraid that the heroic soldiers in uncle's hands will be a little restrained. But uncle refused, he didn't want to get involved in the muddy water of seizing the heir, he is my own uncle, and I don't want to force him. I thought about finding another way after returning to the palace, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel that even the palace didn't want me to go back. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would have died."

……

Lin Wanyue raised her eyes and looked at Li Xian, who couldn't hide her disappointment. Her heart was weighed down by Li Xian's words. Lin Wanyue hadn't read too many books and didn't understand so many principles. For more than a year, her self-repression around the clock has also made her ability to be eloquent almost disappear without a trace.

Seeing Li Xian like this, Lin Wanyue didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.

Li Xian was not in a hurry, she sat there and looked at Lin Wanyue quietly, only to see Lin Wanyue pressed her hands on her knees, lowered her head, occasionally clenched her fists, and sighed lightly from time to time.

Just when Li Xian was about to say something to remind Lin Wanyue to leave, Lin Wanyue suddenly raised her head. She looked at Li Xian, and after a moment of contrast, she said firmly to Li Xian: "The commander is actually very important. A person who is emotional, in the future...I mean, in the future...if I can talk to the commander-in-chief, I will help you beg him."

"Then thank you Feixing."

Li Xian smiled at Lin Wanyue, a little surprised in her heart: I didn't expect things to develop so fast, it seems that Lin Feixing is not as unkind as she imagined before...

"Gong...Xian'er. I have an idea, I don't know if it will work."

"Flying star, but it doesn't matter."

"I think if, if things are really as you said just now, the people who want to kill you are those princes in the palace...we'd better not go back to Beijing by the official route. First, if the assassin fails, he will definitely kill you." Chasing ambushes along the way, today I have also seen their skills, I am ashamed to say that I can deal with one or two, but there are too many people, I may not be able to protect your safety. Second, I thought about it just now, your itinerary must be Someone leaked it, otherwise, how could they have ambushed on the way we must pass, and at the exact time, they looked like they were bound to win, obviously with sophisticated deployment. I think there may be traitors around you, give Those who want to kill you have tipped off the news, but the Jingwei you brought are all dead, and Prince Li Zhong probably won’t either. You see, his life and death are uncertain. I wonder if your two palace maids came out. If there is a problem, it will be bribed."

Speaking of this, Lin Wanyue stopped and looked at Li Xian, deeply afraid that her reasoning would cause Li Xian's displeasure, seeing that Li Xian's expression did not change, she continued: "Of course, I didn't mean that we The people in the barracks are not suspected, but these guards were ordered by the commander before we set off, and most of them were removed according to your request, so the possibility of them betraying the itinerary is very low, but your maids are different, they I have been living with you in the palace all the time, and those feudal lords have the opportunity to contact them privately, so it is easier to bribe them, and there is A Yin... Miss A Yin saved my life... But now, I think she is the most suspicious, I I hope you will be more careful about the people around you when you return to the palace. The assassins failed this time. If I were them, they would definitely seize this opportunity. I will send people to follow your route back to the palace and hunt them down in a carpet-like way. Manpower prevents us from returning to the military camp. The military camp will definitely not be able to return. The government... It is best to bypass it. For the present plan, it is best to completely bypass their subordinates and return to the capital. It is the safest, you What do you think?"

Li Xian patiently listened to Lin Wanyue finish her analysis slowly, and couldn't help feeling a surge of admiration for Lin Wanyue in her heart. The analysis is all right, even what she considers is not only how to avoid being hunted down, she even thinks about the reasons and traces the source, this is the most valuable highlight, an ordinary soldier who has never experienced a little bit of court struggle Being able to think this far without any experience is enough to impress Li Xian.

This time, Li Xian didn't hide her thoughts anymore, but said to Lin Wanyue openly and honestly: "Fei Xing, you have the talent of a marshal, and you can be worthy of great responsibility."

"Gong...Xian'er won the prize, I...can't get into the elegant hall."

"Who said that? I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I have met countless civil servants and generals. Judging from what you said just now, Fei Xing, if you can have a good teacher to give you a little guidance, in time, you will definitely be able to do so, Fei Xing." To become a capable minister of Wen Ke Ding Guo, Wu Neng and An Bang. There are many high-ranking ministers and officials in the court, but they have been protected by their ancestors.

"Princess, I thought about our route just now. From Border Pass to Kyoto is a straight line from north to south. I think we will go west from here to Lianzhou, and then go south from Lianzhou to the capital. What do you think? ?”

At this time, Li Xian has already decided that Lin Wanyue is a piece of stone worth polishing. Although this assassination incident was directed and acted by Li Xian, they are safe no matter which way they go, but they still have to avoid it properly. The time was not yet ripe for the imperial court to arrest people, and Li Xian didn't want to show up and return to the palace so early, so it seemed good to take this opportunity to give pointers to this "Jade in the Stone".

So Li Xian said to Lin Wanyue: "I don't think it's better for us to walk one city west from here to Lianzhou, then go back one city north from Lianzhou to Xiancheng, and then walk west from Xiancheng A city of Munda, from Munda all the way south to the capital."

Lin Wanyue thought carefully about the route Li Xian said, her confused eyes flickered, she looked at Li Xian with admiration, and exclaimed: "Princess is indeed very cunning, compared to yours, my plan is nothing short of child's play." , if it follows what I said: we go west one city, and then go south directly. If the assassins can't find us on this official road, they will definitely send additional people to spread out one city each to the east and west. Our donkey carts are slow. It was easy to be overtaken. However, if we follow the princess's route, go one city to the west to avoid the sharp edge, retreat one city to the north to catch people by surprise, and then go one city to the west, the assassin will never expect it. Returning to Beijing instead made such a big circle with them, and if they followed the route of the princess, they would need three to four times more manpower to find us than they do now, and the news of the princess's assassination will soon spread back to the capital, At that time, they will definitely not dare to pursue them wantonly."

Seeing that Lin Wanyue comprehended her strategy so quickly, Li Xian nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Actually, this route is not limited to our escape, it can also be used when thinking about problems and formulating strategies."

"En!" Lin Wanyue nodded heavily.

Li Xian didn't know that she just gave Lin Wanyue a new and wider door today with her little advice.
