Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 651
Going north across the river, Princess Xingnan felt complicated.

Long before crossing the river, she had tried her best to imagine what the scenery of Jiangbei would be like, but when she was really on the scene, she felt that her imagination was really lacking.If it was just the ruins in turmoil and people crying, she had seen these human tragedies when she was avoiding chaos in the capital.

But when the boat was on the boat, looking around, the wilderness was almost desolate, and the further north it became, the more desolate it became.Even if there are guards all over the front and back, the feeling of loneliness and insignificance that the world alone abandons me in the vast wilderness brings oppression to people's mood, as well as lifeless despair, and there will be barbarians and murderers in the wild at any time. The sense of panic that comes out is enough to make people palpitate!
A river separates two completely different worlds. It seems that since the creation of heaven and earth, this area has been desolate for a long time, and there are few people walking on it. People can't help but wonder whether such a barren wasteland can really be reborn. The possibility of vitality and prosperity?

At the same time, Princess Xingnan is not lacking in congratulations, thankful that she crossed the river willfully this time.If she hadn't been there, she would never have known that Jiangbei had such a vast expanse of uninhabited wasteland like a ghost land, and she would never have imagined what kind of environment her husband was fighting bravely to defend the country.

Without this experience, she would feel that there will always be a gap and alienation between herself and her husband, even if they live in the same room, it will be difficult to get close.

As the distance from Liang County got closer, Princess Xingnan became more and more anxious.She naturally understood that Shen Zhezi didn't want her to come across the river. She made up her own mind this time. After meeting, she really didn't know how to explain it.

She is not a mediocre woman full of resentment and bitterness, but she is eager to see what kind of environment her husband is in, and what kind of danger and pressure he is enduring.Even if I can't help much by coming, even if I travel thousands of miles to just take a look.In this way, she can also understand where the heart is tied, worry with sorrow, and joy with joy.

The fleet from the north was not small. In addition to the original Yuzhou army entering the capital, there were also a large amount of supplies and recruited men and women.Along the way, there will be some boats docking every time they reach the key points of the guard.The team size is getting smaller and smaller, but Princess Xingnan's mood is getting more and more at ease, because she knows that she is getting closer to Fulang.

After sailing for a few days, the boat finally arrived at the Jiahe Valley where Liangjun Xincheng is located. A large number of soldiers from the camp poured out to welcome them.Most of the people in the team didn't know that there was such a noble person as the eldest princess, so Princess Xingnan's boat was at the bend of the river first, and she was not in a hurry to disembark.

The princess was well-prepared for this trip, and even brought a pair of light armor specially made for the rehearsal of "Mulan" at home earlier, imagining walking between the camps hand in hand with her husband in military uniform.

But she has learned a lot along the way, and she realized that war is cruel, and sometimes passionate, but most of the time it is dull and dull, far less exciting than the drama.And her light armor is too flashy, it is really not suitable for the real military atmosphere, so she hides it from others, and is even more ashamed to think about it.

Because she was about to meet her husband, Princess Xingnan felt even more uneasy, she hid deep in the cabin, only looking at the scenery along the river seriously through the window.

On the simple pier at the bend of the river, the wooden piles half submerged in the river have not faded, and there are even new shoots emerging from the branches.There were people coming and going on the pier, and most of the soldiers were not armored, just dressed in short brown, carrying things to and fro.Several soldiers and generals stood on the pier, laughing and talking about something, but it was a pity that there was no figure of Fu Lang among them.

Yu Manzhi, Shen Yun, etc., who went ashore first, were waving their arms and preaching loudly. There was no lack of showing off on their faces, but when their eyes turned to this direction, they showed a little guilt.They seemed to have told the news that they came with the team, and those generals looked serious, and they were already walking here.

This made Princess Xingnan's heartstrings involuntarily tense, fortunately those few people seemed to have scruples, they stopped after taking a few steps, and just bowed their hands in this direction.Probably because of Aiwujiwu, in Princess Xingnan's view, the heroic spirit of her husband and other generals is much stronger than that of the generals of the central guard.

Not long after those generals retreated, some personal soldiers rushed to the rear holding the command flag, probably to report a message.At the same time, the boat on which Princess Xingnan was riding was slowly pulled to the shore by the rope. Not only were there more than a hundred armed soldiers lined up to protect the shore, but even sampans came on the water, surrounding the boat. Stay protected.

Seeing this scene, Princess Xingnan couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, feeling that she was indeed causing trouble for others by coming here.But immediately her eyes fell on the shore again, wanting to see Fu Lang coming to greet him immediately.

Behind the pier is a huge fort, surrounded by bamboo fences and wooden walls, and the outer wall is still rammed with adobe and stone.The tents inside are scattered and orderly, and there are constantly neatly lined up soldiers cruising among them.

Princess Xingnan knew that this corner of the river valley was the battlefield where Fulang was stationed to defeat the enemy a few days ago. Unfortunately, half of the ground has been covered by the camp, so it is a pity that she cannot witness it with her own eyes.

Time passed quietly, and soldiers came here to defend one after another.This made Princess Xingnan feel a little brighter. These people treated her with seriousness when she arrived. Apart from her status as a princess, there might be another reason why she was their general's family.Thinking of this, the corners of Princess Xingnan's mouth could not help but curl up.

"Princess, let's take a rest first. The boat trip has been tiring so far, and the Lord is busy with military affairs, so he may not be able to come to see him right away."

The maid next to her whispered advice, but Princess Xingnan didn't feel sleepy, she just stared at the shore with wide-eyed eyes.The scenery was very boring, but because it was where Fulang was stationed, it was very lovely in her eyes, even more impressive than the prosperous Gyeonggi.

A Ling, the wife of the Cui family, stepped forward and whispered: "The journey is tiring, and the princess is exhausted. When the master sees it later, he must be heartbroken, or blame him for not caring enough..."

"Then take a short nap. Husband will be here later, remember to wake me up."

After hearing this, Princess Xingnan thought for a while, then squinted her eyes and said with a smile, she returned to the inner cabin and leaned on the couch, still looking out of the ship frequently.But there was indeed a bit of lack of energy, and after a while, he became tired and gradually fell asleep.

Unavoidable waves on the boat, not smooth.Besides, although there are soldiers on the shore to cut off the noise, there are many military orders and drums in the camp. Princess Xingnan didn't sleep well this time, half awake and half asleep, she often heard what seemed to be her husband whispering in her ear, There was a beautiful smile on her pretty face.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I occasionally turn my eyes to wake up for a moment, but there is no light in my vision, and it is dark.Unable to tell whether it was a dream or waking up, Princess Xingnan turned over and continued to sleep lightly. Suddenly, a whisper sounded like a dream: "The princess has fallen asleep?"

"Wake up, wake up...already awake!"

Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely real. Princess Xingnan lost her drowsiness in an instant, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that it was really dark, and her vision was blurred for a moment. The maid came in, and then the messy lines outlined the longing face.

"You, why are you here now? I've been waiting for a long time..."

The face was clear for a moment, and then became blurred again. It was a scene that should be expected to be extremely joyful day and night, but the tears in Princess Xingnan's eyes could not stop gushing out.While weeping, she wiped away her tears with both hands frequently, the figure approached in a state that was suddenly clear and sometimes blurred, and then stretched out her hands.

Princess Xingnan no longer cared about the tears in her eyes, grabbed those two hands and threw herself into her arms, but what greeted her was not a warm and generous embrace, but cold and hard nails, and the tenderness in her heart disappeared for a moment. He just clenched his fist and beat the nail, saying angrily, "It's so disgusting!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed, put Princess Xingnan back on the couch with his arms propped up, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to survive here without this disgusting defense."

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she became silent, her belt was wrapped around her fingers, and she frequently glanced at her husband, who was close at hand and seemed a little strange, before whispering after a while: "Do you hate me for coming here?"

"I am very pleased that my wife is more courageous than a man! In the newly restored land of this town, the slave cavalry attacked in an instant, and many soldiers outside Ding Yong lived in panic. But the lady can face the difficulties without fear of danger. , makes me very happy.”

Shen Zhezi raised his hand to brush the princess's forehead hair, and caressed the delicate cheek with his hand. When the princess looked over with a grudge, he smiled again: "It's just that the military law is the first in the army, and it doesn't show mercy. There are so many affairs. People have discussed this far, and finally have a little leisure."

"That's me bothering you... I just, just..."

"It's okay, it's okay. The lady came here from afar to comfort my thirst, how could it be an annoyance. Everyone likes family gatherings together, so how can I avoid the custom. It's just hard work for you..."

When Shen Zhezi spoke up to this point, Princess Xingnan rushed forward again, and on the red lips, many words of friendship flowed through the entanglement of lips and tongue.

"What a nuisance!"

After another half hour, Princess Xingnan raised her head again, with her white teeth in her red lips, she tapped the armor with her fingers.

"The ones that can't be removed will have to patrol the camp later."

Shen Zhezi embraced the princess, ran his fingers through the soft hair, and whispered: "Tonight, I will stay on the boat for one night, and tomorrow I will set up a place to stay. Jiangbei is not as good as the capital, and the lady will live in the women and children's camp first. It is inevitable, but it can only be used as an expedient in extraordinary times.”

"You don't blame me for being capricious? I offended Chu Zhongshu in the capital, and my husband was knighted..."

Princess Xingnan rested her head on her husband's skirt and murmured.

"Responsibility is of course to be blamed, but the lady has been exhausted from a long distance, and it will not be too late to be responsible until she recovers her spirit. I didn't want you to go north before. There are too many things these days, and I don't have time to be with you. It's rare to be close Seeing is also a torment. However, my family has moved in due to incidents, and it is inevitable to suffer, so there is no need to hide from you blindly for the sake of stability. When you come to this place, you should know that great reputation is not easy to come by. Erlang, this joy and sorrow should be passed down from generation to generation."

Shen Zhezi caressed the girl's smooth forehead with his fingers, and said in a soft voice: "As for the internal affairs of the capital, it's done beautifully! My wife is not only impressive, she can already be entrusted with great things."

"Then I didn't do anything wrong? I just think Zhongshu is annoying, pestering me endlessly, blocking my way, I really deserve to be scolded!"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she suddenly regained her spirits, turned over and sat facing Shen Zhezi, with a happy expression on her face.

"Although what I did was right, I don't know where it is right, and it is really not worthy of praise."

Shen Zhezi pulled her closer, and began to talk about the trade-offs in this matter.Originally, in his heart, he didn't want his family to be exposed to too many intrigues and intrigues, but as his family became more and more powerful, such things were inevitable.What's more, the princess is a status that is easy to attract attention. Let her understand these methods and deal with it more calmly.

Just like this incident, the princess came forward to resolve it, and the effect was much better than Shen Zhezi's own response.
