Chapter 87 Believe in You Alone
Either let Hanqu open to water within half a year, or marry into the palace of King Yong.
This is his condition.
Jiang He thought seriously.
Both of them are sensible people, so sensible that they even negotiate a marriage that they already agree on.
But this is an opportunity anyway.
"it is good."
Jiang He nodded seriously.
Zhao Zheng smiled.
In his eyes, Jiang He seemed to be eager to get a shovel and dig a ditch right away.
"Eat early and go to bed early."
Because she was sure that she couldn't do it, it seemed that all her wishes were about to come true in an instant.
Zhao Zheng urged Jiang He to eat with a gentle voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang He's slightly shocked and slightly red face, and for a moment he was embarrassed, and he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Cough cough."
He pretended to cough twice and said, "I believe in you now, and I won't tie you up anymore."
At that time, in Dayong Palace, late at night when they first slept together, Zhao Zheng tied Jiang He with a soft rope.
Only later did he trust her and let go of the rope.
Jiang He still remembered the way an old injury on her wrist had just healed and a new one appeared.
I had forgotten it originally, but now I was reminded of it.
She frowned and raised her head, her eyes flashing with anger as she said, "Who cares about sleeping with His Majesty? I sleep alone!"
Zhao Zheng opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but lean back a little.
I offended her.
Why do you get angry so easily? After a long journey to get here, Jiang He was finally able to have a good sleep.
Zhao Zheng watched her take a bath happily and couldn't wait to rest, like a child who finally returned home after traveling thousands of miles.
In fact, this is just a small ship.
The hull of the boat swayed slightly in the wind, and he stood up and walked to the bow.
In the night sky, the Big Dipper shines brightly and the stars flow. The sky and the earth meet in the hazy moonlight, and there is silence.
And the woman he loved was sleeping soundly in the cabin behind him.
She would kick off the quilt, put one leg on the edge of the bed, and murmur in her sleep.
But don't be fooled by her innocent sleeping face, because this woman can also hold a long knife in her hand, send evildoers to their deaths, and kill decisively.
That's her woman.
Zhao Zheng stood on the bow of the ship. Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but purse his lips slightly and wanted to laugh out loud.
Thousands of troops and thousands of horses are everywhere. You are mine. Who dares to snatch you? "Is that Princess Anguo's carriage in front of you?"
Hearing the strange man's inquiry behind her, the little girl Cai Ling immediately reached into the bag hanging in the front room of the car, took a handful of black ash and smeared it on her face.
Her face, which had finally been whitened with great effort, suddenly became dark, as if she had crawled out of the stove.
This is the trick Master Jiang Anqing taught her when he took her on a trip.
Master Jiang said that most men are you meet a strange man on the street, it is best to look it is already ugly and the other party refuses to let go, then you have to rely on the weapons in your hands to protect yourself.
Now Master Jiang is gone, but she still remembers everything Master Jiang taught.
The princess left her with a bodyguard when she left, but Cai Ling later felt that Zongjun needed more manpower, so she only asked for one to accompany her.
It was noon at this time, and the guard went to the small village nearby to buy Ling stayed there to feed the horses. When someone called her, she immediately became nervous.
Unexpectedly, the person chasing after him on horseback was a young chamberlain.
The little waiter was panting. Although it was drizzling and cold today, he was still sweating profusely from running.
"We have caught up." The chamberlain turned over and dismounted, holding on to the saddle to catch his breath, and said respectfully, "Is Princess Anguo in the carriage? The young master has brought the slave to deliver the message."
Cai Ling turned around and glanced at the carriage. Of course there was no one inside.
She shook her head and said, "The princess has already gone away for several days. Why are you here now?"
"This is bad!" the chamberlain said, "When the young master woke up and heard that His Highness was gone, he fell off the bed in such a panic that he fainted for two more days before he got better. After that, he rummaged for something to write a letter. I'm going to chase you with all my speed. I didn't expect you to run so fast. If the young master hadn't known the direction, I would have never found you."
After hearing what he said and seeing that he was indeed wearing the clothes of a chamberlain of King Qi, Cai Ling believed that the young master he mentioned was Jiang Bi.
"Young Master, do you have a letter?" She looked at the servant's empty hands.
The chamberlain immediately opened the saddlebags on the horse's back, carefully took out a small bundle, and handed it to Cai Ling.
"Please ask the girl to pass it on to you."
"Okay." Cai Ling took it, turned around and put it into the carriage.
The waiter also kept his eyes on the baggage, as if he was afraid that she would lose it.
"Don't worry." Cai Ling promised, "Even if the slave dies, the things will definitely be delivered."
"Thank you." The chamberlain handed over his hand and said before leaving, "The princess went to Yong State, right?" Jiang He went to Yong State. This was Jiang Ben's guess.
Based on this guess, the chamberlain followed the fastest road from Linzi to Yongguo.
But since it is just a guess, Young Master also hopes to confirm it.
But Cai Ling felt that even if the young master and the princess were on good terms, they could not reveal the princess's whereabouts casually.
She thought for a while, Master Jiang's words came to mind, she adjusted her tone, imitated Master Jiang, and said in a dignified manner: "Are there any differences between Yong, Wei, Han, and Chu? From Tianshan Mountain to East China Sea. , from Mount Buhan to Nanman, there is Chinese land everywhere.”
The dark-faced girl's sudden seriousness made the little waiter stunned for a moment, but she left in a hurry without getting an answer.
Only then did Cai Ling put down her shoulder.
Speaking of which, what does Mr. Jiang mean by that sentence?
The young general Meng Tian knew that he had made a mistake, but he also knew where he went wrong.
Therefore, in this attack, he did not advance rashly, but patiently defeated the main force of the Korean army bit by bit.
I just didn't expect that the war lasted for two days. Seeing that victory was in sight, Meng Tian just raised the green flag and set up a straight line of formation, when the opposite side suddenly issued a truce flag.
Soon, the scouts came with news that His Majesty had negotiated peace with Wei and South the three countries want to unite against Chu, they can no longer attack South Korea.
This is truly spring weather—big changes.
Of course we have to obey His Majesty's orders when it comes to fighting, but we can't fight against South Korea. How to solve today's lunch?
Meng Tian's thick armor could not block the frequent sounds of hunger.
Before this battle, they ate all the food and even killed the injured horses to satisfy their hunger, just so that after this battle they could invade the Korean military camp and have enough to eat at once.
But now that we can't attack South Korea, we can only go back hungry.
I don’t know where the military rations arranged by His Majesty were sent.
With a solemn expression, Meng Tian ordered the troops to retreat and summoned the generals to enter the camp for discussion.
The situation is grim.
Although there were not many killed, there were many soldiers with minor injuries.
Meng Tian knows how to lead troops. Soldiers who have been injured and recovered are the best soldiers.
These soldiers have gained experience in fighting, and are no longer afraid of life and death. They can fight one against ten.
But the immediate problem is that they lack food, clothing, and medicine. These injured soldiers are likely to be the first to die of starvation and illness.
No one wants to see a warrior who serves his country die in front of him.
And he died because of himself.
The 17-year-old young general stood in the camp. Although his face was stern, his heart had fallen to the blamed himself and regretted it, but he could only find a way.
Several generals in the camp were older than Meng Tian. After reporting the casualties and the amount of food, grass and medicine, they looked at each other and smiled.
Meng Tian knew why they were laughing.
They laughed at their own failure, and also laughed at His Majesty's bias in hiring people, allowing the 17-year-old to lead the army on an expedition.
He was sorry for hurting His Majesty's didn't care if he was laughed at or he was willing to die if thousands of injured soldiers could survive.
Meng Tian strode outside. If that didn't work, he could go to the Korean army alone to borrow food.
His face and the face of Yong Guo can be discarded.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, and the scout shouted: "The food and grass are coming!"
Is the food coming? This sudden news was told by the scout, which shocked Meng Tian's heart.
He raised his voice and said, "Is the food and grass really here?"
The general who followed Meng Tian out of the military camp suddenly showed an incredulous expression.
"Yes," the scout said loudly, "Three hundred carts of military rations are being pulled into the military camp."
Meng Tian grabbed a horse and ran towards the direction from which the scouts came.
After the grain and grass camp was burned down, he wrote a letter to Kyoto asking for Meng Tian also knew that what Yong State was most lacking now was food and didn't know how long it would take to raise food and how difficult it would be to deliver it, but he knew that he had to thank the person who sent it.
If possible, drink three hundred cups with him!
From a distance, I saw a man wearing plain white dark clothes sitting in the front of the grain cart with a humble and respectful Meng Tian coming, he stopped the car and jumped out.
"General." Zong Jun said to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian thought about it and suddenly remembered who he was.
In the wind and snow in Daliang, this man planned to commit suicide to apologize for failing to protect Jiang Anqing, but Zhao Zheng ordered him to knock him out.
It's true, he knocked this person unconscious.
Isn't this person hers? While he was doubting, Zongjun already spoke: "The slave's master, Princess Jiang of Anguo, has given me three hundred carts of grain and grass, and a cart of gold sore medicine to thank General Daliang for his help in relieving the siege."
It really is her?
Meng Tian's heart felt hot, and that figure appeared in his mind.
She was petite but tall and tall. She was held by the sleeves by the King of Yong and disappeared into the distance in the clear morning light of winter snow.
You should drink three hundred cups with her.
