Princess of Han

"How is the situation in Jiangzhou?"

"Returning to the general, I received a report from the army a few days ago that the army in black had launched an offensive to storm Jiangzhou City. King Wu had to withdraw temporarily after holding on for three days. He had already led the soldiers into the Poyang Lake area through the Song Gate."

Looking at the map spread out on the table, the man in the tough armor slid his fingers across the waterway routes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his eyes finally fell on the little sesame seed, and he frowned.

"How far are we from Poyang Lake?"

"If you rush on the road overnight, there will be one more day!" The deputy general calculated the journey with a worried expression on his face.They rushed from Chuyang to Jiangzhou City for rescue without stopping. The soldiers were already very tired.If they don't rest, even if they arrive at Poyang Lake in time, they will be no more than a tired army. How can they be the opponent of Han Wang Chen Youliang's well-equipped black army?

However, even if he knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.The king of Wu was besieged, and the situation was already in jeopardy, waiting for their general to lead troops to support him.

Time, time, what is most lacking now is time...

Xu Da frowned deeply, and various calculations were going on in his mind.Either way, however, the odds were against him.

Sighing, he closed the map on the table and waved his hand to the lieutenant general, "Go talk to the soldiers below and let them work harder for a while. After half an hour, we will set up camp and set off!"

"Half an hour? General, isn't the time too hasty?" The deputy general frowned.They have been driving for half a month, and the soldiers are exhausted. The time for cooking smoke and eating at noon is not long, and now it has been reduced by nearly half. tired negative emotions.

"I know it's difficult, but the marshal can't wait anymore, so we can only speed up the journey."

"Can……"

"Okay, the military order is like a mountain, you go down and execute it."

"Yes, General!" Knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, the lieutenant clasped his fists and took the order to leave.After getting out of the tent, the lieutenant general pursed his lips and looked at the soldiers who had relieved their tension outside and were busily preparing for lunch, and went to summon the non-commissioned officers in the army.

To be careful, in order to guard against sneak attacks, the barracks would dig trenches before eating at noon, and the time required for setting up and dismantling the camp was removed, leaving the generals with extremely tight time for real meals.So half an hour later, when the army pulled out of the camp, it seemed a little flustered.

Xu Da walked out of the commander's tent, wrapped in silver armor, and the red cloak behind him was flapping.He summoned his own horse, and was about to climb up and swing his sword to lead the army forward, when he saw a scout running over in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Report, General, there is a woman outside the camp asking to see you."

"Woman? I don't see you!" At this time, the woman who suddenly appeared in the wilderness must not be simple.He would rush to rescue Jiangzhou, Chen Youliang couldn't have imagined that perhaps a trap had been set up halfway, waiting for him to jump into it.

"Let's go on the notice, pull out the camp!"

"But General, that woman claims to be your sister!"

"What? Where is she?" Xu Da was startled, threw the rein in his hand to the guard behind him, and took two quick steps forward.

"Just outside the barracks!"

Xu Da took two steps, then suddenly turned his head and said a few words to the lieutenant who had followed him, "You let them break out of the camp first, and I will come later."

"General!"

Looking at the back of the general striding away, the lieutenant stroked his chin, feeling very curious.

General's sister?The concubine who is said to be married to Han Wang Chen Youliang who is extremely favored?Isn't she supposed to be in Yingtian? Why did she suddenly appear here?A weak woman dares to walk in troubled times!

Xu Da hurriedly came outside the camp, and sure enough, he saw a slender woman with her back facing him.He quickened his pace and walked over.

"Pei Yao, why are you here? What about the people around you, why are you alone..."

Perhaps hearing his footsteps, the woman turned around slowly as he approached.When he saw her face clearly, Xu Da's subsequent words disappeared from his mouth immediately.

He frowned, and a flash of displeasure flashed in his heart, "Luo Yi, why is it you? Where's Peiyao?"

"Second Young Master, Miss is at the front, let Luo Yi invite you to come and talk!" The girl pretended not to notice Xu Da's cold face, and smiled innocently.

Looking around, it was deserted, and only his barracks had been stationed here for a while.It's hard to let go of a female sister who is alone outside. Although Xu Da is heavily armed, he can only beckon a soldier outside the camp to inform the lieutenant general, let him lead the army out of the camp first, and rush over later by himself.

"Let's go, take me to see Peiyao."

----------

"Where is Peiyao?"

Following the little girl Luo Yi around, seeing that most of the time had passed, it was getting late, and there was still no trace of the place she said. Xu Da, who was delayed for half a day, darkened his face, and could no longer control the anger in his heart .

Luo Yi, who had been bouncing in front for a while, didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he couldn't help but turn around and look at the man standing behind him.

"Second Young Master, what's the hurry, I'll be here soon."

"If you waste any more time, forgive me for not having time to accompany you."

Seeing that Xu Da flicked his sleeves and was about to turn around, Luo Yi murmured and muttered a little stingyly, which made him a little more serious.

"It's just in front of the villa. The second son is so impatient, it's fortunate that my lady has prepared a big surprise for you!"

Xu Da didn't speak, but murmured in his heart: Don't be surprised, don't turn into a fright!

Following behind Luo Yi, the two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and they saw a quiet villa in front of them.In this place where there is no village in front and no shops in the back, a beautiful village suddenly appeared that was obviously not affordable for ordinary people, and Xu Da was suddenly puzzled.

How did Peiyao find such a place?

While he was meditating, Luo Yi in front had already run over and knocked on the door.Not long after, the heavy iron door creaked, and a head stuck out.

Luo Yi turned around and waved to the standing young man, "Second Young Master, come in, Miss has been waiting for a long time."

Xu Da came back to his senses, restrained his mind, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and followed the girl into the villa.

Going around, while he was looking at the layout of the villa warily in his heart, in the garden ahead, amidst the sea of ​​gorgeous flowers, amidst the fluttering veils, a slender figure sitting in the gazebo, stroking the piano with his fingers. Xian, with his back to his wide sleeves, danced lightly, like a dream.

He couldn't help but be fascinated, and couldn't bear the slightest thought of breaking this beautiful picture.

At the end of the song, the woman put down her hands, slowly stood up and turned around, watching him quietly with sparkling eyes.

"Second brother, you are here!"

"Pei Yao, are you really here? I thought..."

"Think I'm lying to you?" Xu Peiyao chuckled, holding Luo Yi's hand, and slowly approached her brother.

Standing in front of the man, she looked up at the second brother, who was always a little soft and not decisive in her heart, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.

"No, yes... yes..." Xu Da was a little embarrassed, not daring to look directly at his younger sister's eyes that seemed to see through all his thoughts.

"It's because the situation is tense now. Your husband and Zhu Deba are fighting each other. Do you think your husband will use my name to prevent you from going?"

"Pei Yao, you have been smart since you were a child, and my brother can't hide anything from you." He didn't say yes, but the meaning in his words already explained everything.

Xu Peiyao sighed, feeling inexplicably melancholy.The intimacy of childhood no longer exists. Once people grow up, various factors will influence their thinking, making people go from initial trust to final suspicion.

"I'm not here to stop you, I just want to let my second brother see the current situation of the world clearly before you meet Zhu Chongba."

"The situation in the world? Peiyao, I know very well." After all, he is also a general guarding one side, so how could he not pay attention to the current situation in the world.

"No, you don't know! Brother, haven't you felt any feelings at all these past few years? Zhu Chongba is guarding against you!"

"Defend me from what?"

"Preventing you from being too powerful and slowly posing a threat to him; preventing you from leading an army with few defeats, and your prestige in the army is increasing day by day. A suspicious person will not really rest assured of the tiger that follows behind him. Even if, This fierce tiger grew up with him, and restrained all its minions!"

Xu Da was silent.

In the past few years, Zhongba has become more and more unfathomable, and he is no longer the simple cowherd boy he was back then.How could he not know what his sister said.Even, he has been deeply touched in the past few years.It's just that their friendship of more than ten years is not broken just by saying it.Shigehachi...

He looked at the younger sister who had receded from greenness and became more mature and charming in front of him, and stretched out his hand to gently pick up the petals that fell from the woman's head.

"Pei Yao, actually, there is one thing that I have never understood. Why is Chongba inferior to Chen Youliang? Why did you choose Chen Youliang over Chongba? Just because of the marriage contract that your parents agreed to when you were young?" If the younger sister married Chongba, he doesn't need to be in a dilemma now, he and Chongba are jealous and wary of each other.

Xu Peiyao was taken aback, she didn't expect her second brother to ask such an obvious question at this time.

"Second Brother, I thought you knew. Zhu Chongba treated me well, and he may have better character than Chen Youliang, but for a woman who longs for a lifetime of love, he is not a good match!"

"Why do you think so? No matter how you look at it, a man like Chong Ba who values ​​love and righteousness is a good match. What makes Chen Youliang a good home?" Xu Da was surprised, especially not understanding that this man who grew up with him since childhood Big sister's thoughts.

In his opinion, sister Peiyao's thoughts are really strange sometimes, completely different from the thoughts of ordinary women.

The hand on the waist tightly squeezed the handkerchief, the woman turned sideways, looked at the budding lotus dotted in a pool of green leaves not far away, and said in a faint tone: "Zhu Chongba is wandering, unstable, and entangled with several women Together, without the courage to be cruel, so that women will always surround him and never give up. Such a man, brother, do you want me to share him with a few women in the end? "

"No, Peiyao, the three of us grew up together. I have always noticed Chongba's feelings for you. The only thing he loves is you!"

"Zhu Chongba may be affectionate, but he is not dedicated. Even if he loves me in his heart, he can still miss several women. As long as these women treat him better, he will have no idea how to refuse, entangle and hurt others Hurting himself, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty is a shining example. He said he loved me, but he kept having romantic relationships behind him. In this regard, he is no match for Chen Youliang."

Xu Da, who wanted to refute, opened his mouth, but couldn't find any other reason, so he could only bite to death a little bit, "Pei Yao, Chen Youliang is cruel and merciless, he is really not a good match!"

"Second brother, I don't want to hear this sentence from you again. My husband loves me, and only me, and he has never looked down on other women. That's enough!" The woman turned around, straight He looked straight at Xu Da.

"The most important thing is that he cares about my words and never puts them off. For my wish, he knows that there are many difficulties and it is not good for him, but he will still try his best to achieve it. He will not hesitate to abandon the country, and he will not hesitate to destroy the grand plan. What else am I not satisfied with?" Thinking of the time when he risked himself to poison Nahan to avenge his father, her heart was full of heat.

"younger sister!"

"Such a man, how can I not be tempted? Second brother, I am a woman first, a woman who also longs to be loved and has someone to rely on. Chen Youliang can do this for me, and I can also help him to fight for the world and win The country of Yuan Thieves."

"Pei Yao!" Xu Da suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at her in shock.

"Brother, since I'm married to him, I have to think about my family and my children. Even if it's not for Chen Youliang, I won't sit and watch him fail. My children can't live without a father."

"However, Chen Youliang's temperament is really not suitable for ruling the world. Now the world is full of desolation, what is urgently needed is a benevolent monarch who can recuperate, work diligently and love the people."

"Then Zhu Chongba is eligible? Brother, Zhu Chongba has become suspicious now. Once he becomes the final victor, those of you who follow him will not There is no good end. Don't forget that those who followed the king to conquer the world in the past dynasties did not have a good end in the end."

"No, Peiyao, Chongba won't do this, we have been friends since childhood!" Xu Da obviously didn't believe it.

Xu Peiyao chuckled lightly.

"Oh, it's time like this, second brother, don't tell me, you are still so naive, you can't see the change of Zhu Chongba. Once a person has power, how can he allow others to threaten his position? On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully! Even the friendship from childhood is not worth the unpredictable!"

"What about Chen Youliang? He's even more sinister and cunning. Are you sure he's not more ruthless than Chongba?"

Being able to ask this question has already proved that the man in front of him has begun to waver.

Xu Peiyao took two steps forward lightly, held her brother's hand, raised her head and looked him in the eyes very seriously: "At least, with me here, he won't touch you!"

"But……"

"Second brother, what are you still hesitating about?"

Xu Da turned around, confused, he didn't want to betray this friendship, but what his sister said really hit him in the ribs.The man punched the tree trunk in front of him, pulling off the flower branches with his hands irritatedly.

"Wan'er was taken to Jiangzhou, I can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a chuckle from behind him.That voice was very graceful and graceful, but it made him feel confused and guilty for no reason.

"Second brother, is it because of this?"
