A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

Even though he took a comfortable hot bath the night before, Jiang Yanqing was still miserable the next day.

It's okay for him to stand still, but once he walks, his legs will be sore and weak, and he can't walk, especially between his legs, when the soft flesh on the inner thigh rubs against the fabric, it will cause bursts of stinging pain.

Xu Qing, the servant of the official department who was ordered to supervise the army, frequently looked at Jiang Yanqing, who had a bitter face and forced a smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Is the princess... unwell?"

Jiang Yanqing, who was suddenly named, twitched the corners of his mouth, "Ah, um, I stretched my legs inadvertently during the exercise yesterday. It's nothing serious."

Xu Qingnian was nearly forty, a round older than Chu Chengji, and he didn't speak in an official tone, like an older brother. His eyes when looking at Jiang Yanqing became profound in an instant, "It's fine if there is no serious problem. Take good care of the princess on the way."

Jiang Yanqing laughed a few times, then turned to look at the emperor Cang Jinyu who was on the platform.

When the grand prize goes out, the emperor will come to see him off in person.The battle flags were flying in the camp, and Cang Jinyu, who was dressed in a dragon robe, looked around at the mighty team.

"Soldiers, do you know where I want you to go today? It's Yanchuan, which is adjacent to Xiling Kingdom! Yanchuan has hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land! The food that the whole country eats, including you Almost every grain of rice we eat every day comes from Yanchuan! Then why did I let you go to Yanchuan, because the Xiling Kingdom covets our good land in Yanchuan, and they want to rob us of our grain! If we can’t keep our good land , there will be no food! Then you, your family members, the people of the whole country, including me, will all go hungry!"

The wind blew the dragon robe on Cang Jinyu's body, revealing his thin body.But he remained steadfast, speaking loudly and inspiring the soldiers.

"You are my bravest soldiers! You are the most reliable army in Zhengyuan Kingdom! I will entrust you with the task of guarding Yanchuan and defeating Xiling. I am at ease! The people of the whole country are also at ease! I believe in you. Must win!"

All the soldiers raised their spears and shouted loudly: "We must win! We must win! We must win!"

Cang Jinyu looked at the army with high morale majesticly, and said loudly: "When you return triumphantly, I will reward you all!"

All the soldiers knelt down, Jiang Yanqing was stunned, and Chu Chengji pressed the back of his neck and also knelt down.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

A eunuch shouted loudly: "It's time! Let's go!"

A soldier brought a war horse, and Chu Chengji pulled the reins. Instead of getting on the horse, he turned to look at Jiang Yanqing.

A soldier beside Jiang Yanqing also led him a war horse. It was a snow-white horse, much stronger than yesterday's bay red horse, taller and bigger.The white horse snorted, staring at Jiang Yanqing with big black eyes.Jiang Yanqing was a little scared, and unconsciously took half a step back.

"Yuebai." Chu Chengji whispered.

Jiang Yan looked at Chu Chengji with a bewildered look.

"Its name." Chu Chengji encouraged, "You can call it."

The whole army was waiting for Chu Chengji to get on his horse and go first. If they didn't move, the army could not move forward.Jiang Yanqing felt that countless eyes were focused on him, including Cang Jinyu who was on the stage.

He didn't have time to hesitate, so he could only tentatively call out, "Yuebai?"

Yuebai snorted and blinked.

Jiang Yanqing thought about what Chu Chengji said yesterday, that he wanted to communicate with Ma.He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yuebai's neck.

Yuebai shook his head, paved the ground with his front hooves, and unexpectedly tilted his head and arched his arm.Jiang Yanqing's eyes widened in surprise from this gesture of goodwill, and he became more courageous. He touched the horse's head, leaned into Yuebai's ear and whispered: "Yuebai, I like you very much, please don't let me go for a while. Throw me off, and I'll steal the horse grass from Chu Chengji's horse and feed it to you, okay?"

Chu Chengji who heard it clearly: "..."

Chu Chengji took Yuebai's reins and said in a deep voice, "Get on the horse."

Jiang Yanqing stepped on the stirrup, clung to the horse's neck, manipulated his sore legs, and struggled to climb onto the horse's back.

The rein in Chu Chengji's hand was not loose, and he turned over on his horse. His legs clamped the horse's belly, and the two horses spread their hooves and ran forward.

The soldiers behind waved their flags to keep up. For a while, there were sounds of horseshoes, footsteps, and the sound of clinking and clashing armor from the infantry running away.

Because Yuebai was much taller than yesterday's bay red horse, Jiang Yanqing also felt more energetic than yesterday.But before the horse's hooves took a step, his thighs rubbed against the saddle, making him feel even more miserable.

The march could not be stopped, even if he stopped, his legs would not heal immediately, let alone sit on Chu Chengji's horse, it was too shameful.Jiang Yanqing had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.

After running for half a day, near noon, the sun gradually increased.Qiu Shi quickly rushed up from the rear.

"My lord, do you want to rest for a while?"

Chu Chengji pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch stopped together with Yuebai.He turned his head, saw the panting soldiers behind him, and raised his hand, "Send the order, rest in place for half an hour."

Jiang Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief, hugged Yuebai's neck, climbed off the horse, dragged his sore and unconscious legs, walked a few steps towards a nearby tree, and then sat down on the ground.

He can no longer control so much about what is not in image.He straightened his legs with both hands, leaned his back against the tree trunk, and let out a long breath.

Chu Chengji handed him a water bag.

Jiang Yanqing felt a lot better after gulping and gulping a few mouthfuls of water.

He was too tired to talk, and Chu Chengji didn't say anything.Qiu Shi looked left and right, and said to Chu Chengji: "My lord, why don't I go ahead later, and you and the concubine are behind?"

Chu Chengji pondered for a moment, "Okay. There is Hengguan in front of us. Let Wang Nan Kuaima deliver the customs clearance documents, and strive to reach the Jinshui River before sunset."

Qiu Shi agreed and went to find Wang Nan.

Half an hour later, Wang Nan moved forward with a fast horse, Qiu Shi was in front of the team, and the army set off.

Jiang Yanqing stood aside, stroking Yuebai's mane, and asked Chu Chengji, "Is it okay for us to go to the back?"

Chu Chengji looked at the soldiers passing by expressionlessly, "It will take at least ten days to get to Yanchuan, and it will be fine if we get there in the first two days."

Jiang Yanqing lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I've delayed you."

Chu Chengji looked at Jiang Yanqing, "No."

Will he be able to get used to it after two days of persistence?Jiang Yanqing is not very sure, but if this state lasts for ten days, then it may be difficult for him to persist.

After all, I still haven't suffered.

Chu Chengji got on his horse and stretched out his hand to Jiang Yanqing, "Come."

Jiang Yanqing hesitated, "Why don't I hold on a little longer."

It was really indecent for the soldiers to see it.And he didn't want to be looked down upon, let alone affect Chu Chengji's prestige in the army.

"Come up." Chu Chengji said again.

Jiang Yanqing looked at the resolutely motionless arm, so he could only pass his own hand over.

Chu Chengji pulled the man down on his horse.

Jiang Yanqing didn't straddle, but sat sideways on Chu Chengji's horse like a girl.

Although the position was comfortable for his legs, it really didn't feel safe.Jiang Yanqing put his arms around Chu Chengji's waist, and followed him to the end of the line.

Xu Qing, who was originally at the end of the team, cast a questioning look.

"Qiu Shi is in front." Chu Chengji rode a horse side by side with Xu Qing, and explained concisely: "Yan Qing is not good at riding, and his legs are uncomfortable."

Xu Qing understood, with the expression of someone who had come here, "Thank you, Princess."

As a servant of the official department, Xu Qing also has fists and kicks, and he is also proficient in riding and shooting.Being able to be a military supervisor means that he is not a weak scholar.

After walking silently for a while, Xu Qing couldn't help persuading him: "There is a saying that should not be said by an official, but how old Xu is, I have to remind the prince, newlyweds, it is inevitable that they can't help themselves, but after all, military Daddy, if you are too indulgent, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. There is no doctor accompanying you, and there are only a few herbs. If you hurt the princess, then..."

"Master Xu is worrying too much." Chu Chengji interrupted coldly: "Yan Qing just rode too much and was a little tired."

Xu Qing didn't know if he believed it or not, so he continued: "This time, the officer has three responsibilities with the army. The first is to supervise the army, the second is to record documents, and the third is to take care of the princess."

"My lord Xu, please tell me that the king can take care of it himself." Chu Chengji's voice was gloomy and cold.

After all, the other party was the supervisor sent by the emperor, Jiang Yanqing was afraid that Chu Chengji's tone would annoy the other party and cause unnecessary trouble, so he quietly pulled Chu Chengji's waist armor.

Xu Qing sensed Chu Chengji's anger, so he stopped talking.

Sitting behind Chu Chengji, Jiang Yanqing's legs didn't hurt anymore, but after sitting in one position for a long time, his back began to feel sore.He took a peek at Xu Qing, and found that Xu Qing wasn't paying attention to him, so he tilted his head and leaned on Chu Chengji's back.

Chu Chengji's face did not change, and his body remained motionless.

However, he didn't feel comfortable for a long time, when he heard the sound of a horse's hoof coming from the front in the opposite direction.

"My lord!"

Jiang Yanqing immediately sat up straight, lowered his head and coughed lightly, to cover up his image of sitting or not sitting just now.

The person who came was Wang Nan, his face was full of anxiety, and he had no time to pay attention to Jiang Yanqing's small movements.

"My lord, Chen Si, the Yaowu general of Hengguan, is not in the pass! The guards say that the switch cannot be opened without Chen Si's order!"

Chu Chengji pulled the reins, "When will he come back?"

The horse under Wang Nan's crotch was restless, and he said anxiously while pulling the rein: "It is said that I have gone back to my hometown, and I will not be able to return until three days later."

Chu Chengji frowned, "Three days? He left his post without permission, did he ask the emperor for leave?"

"This..." How could Wang Nan know.

Chu Chengji said coldly: "Ask General Qiu to bring two thousand elite soldiers and customs clearance documents to the city guards. If they don't let them go, they will prepare to attack the city on the spot."

Wang Nan was taken aback, "This, this is probably inappropriate, my lord, we have just left Shengyang City, if this news is passed back, people may be suspicious!"

Chu Chengji didn't want to say more, "Do as I say."

Wang Nan still refused to leave, and kept sneaking glances at Xu Qing who was not in a hurry.

Chu Chengji said displeased: "Why don't you go?"

Xu Qing said quietly: "My lord, I suddenly remembered something. Before I left the city, my majesty asked me to pass an oral order to my lord."

Chu Chengji looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled, and said slowly: "The emperor said that if there is an obstacle on the march, the prince must take the situation in Yanchuan as the most important thing. The emperor also said half a sentence, but the officials don't understand it very well."

Xu Qing refused to speak halfway, and looked at Chu Chengji.Chu Chengji had no choice but to ask, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Qing whispered three words, "I will be outside."

Chu Chengji looked at Xu Qing deeply for a moment, and said to Wang Nan, "Tell Qiu Shi to lead 5000 troops first, and if Hengguan doesn't let him go, attack the city directly!"
