Concubine all over the world

Chapter 82 Lan Ze's Audience
Youqu, an ancient city with gray walls and green tiles, is located [-] kilometers away from Jinliao in the territory of the barbarians.In the ancient city, there are lush trees, shops, and spacious streets. The city is full of people, and it is bustling and lively. It is worthy of being the last state capital on this border.

The farther west you go from Juqu, the more desolate you will be.

Therefore, this song is like the last touch of autumn sun that is about to sink into winter, gorgeous but poignant.

When the 20 troops approached Youqu, the vanguard general had already gone to inquire first. In less than a stick of incense, he reported that there was no Sa country army in the city, and everything seemed to be normal in Youqu.

Looking around, there are indeed Sa country troops camping in the mangrove forest, but there are far less than 20 people, at most 10 horses.The entire barracks was silent, without any movement.

There was a look of contempt in Hua Zehao's eyes, and a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips: "It seems that this Maya is not as fierce as a wolf or a tiger as in the legend, but he is as obedient as a kitten."

Hua Man'er raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at Hua Zehao on the horse and said, "Hao'er, don't be careless. The so-called 'soldiers never tire of deceit', how can you know if you haven't been on the battlefield? You should first tell Hua Leopard with the sound of the flute. , and see how he responds."

"Yes!" Hua Zehao listened to his sister's words the most, quickly bowed to accept the order, took out the piccolo, and played it leisurely with his internal strength.

The sound of the flute is clear, and it is clearer and more melodious if you listen to it nearby, but through the air flow, the more you listen to it from a distance, the more touching it will be.

Soon, Hua Zehao heard the sound of the flute from the tower of Youqu City.

He put down his piccolo in surprise, and told Hua Man'er: "Sister, Huabao let us enter the city directly. There are more than [-] border guards from the Huabao headquarters in the city, which cannot accommodate them, so let the reinforcements station there. He will come over in person and welcome us into the city."

"Understood, then order to be stationed on the spot." Hua Man'er said.

"Yes!" Hua Zehao replied respectfully.

Afterwards, he took out the topographic map, looked at the nearby terrain in detail, and then pulled the army to a nearby hill.One hundred thousand are stationed above it, and one hundred thousand are stationed below it.

"It can be attacked and defended, and it is not afraid of being surrounded or ambushed. There is also a stream nearby. I sent troops to guard it, and drinking water is no problem. Sister, this is the best place, right?" Hua Zehao boasted like a cute.

Hua Man'er smiled slightly, squeezed Hua Zehao's chin, and said in a long tone, "Yes—"

"Haha——" Hua Zehao laughed, "It's really fun to learn how to fight with my sister. It turns out that fighting is so interesting!"

Hua Man'er immediately suppressed her smile and rolled her eyes at him: "Those who say war is interesting have never really experienced war. If you have really experienced war, you will understand how precious peace is."

"Got it, sister," Hua Zehao showed the cutest coquettish smile and the most sly eyes again, "Let's hand this over to General Lu Zheng, and then go into the city."

"Ah."

Hua Man'er responded, and then called Lu Zheng to teach him to set up a corresponding formation at the foot of the mountain to guard against Maya's sneak attack. Then he rode on his horse, took Shui Lian, and rode to Juqu together with Hua Zehao go.

Halfway there, a horse galloped towards him, Tete's horse hooves raised a puff of smoke, and the leopard came in a hurry, holding a long machete in its hand.

The two sides met and stopped their horses.Hua Bao flew off the horse and wanted to meet the princess and the young prince, but Hua Man'er quickly stopped.

"You're welcome, Master. Please lead the way, let's go into the city and talk about it."

"Yes, princess." Huabao flew on the horse and led the way.

In less than a stick of incense, the three followed the leopard into Juqu.

After sitting down in the meeting hall of the Yamen of the state capital, Master Yuqu Taiguo Zhang Hanzhang immediately ordered someone to prepare wine and dishes.

After the food and wine were served, Mr. Zhang immediately greeted Hua Zehao and Hua Man'er for dinner, but Hua Man'er was anxious to say goodbye to Hua Leopard.

Because there are letters between Huabao and Huazehao from time to time.Therefore, Hua Bao knew about what happened between Hua Man'er and Li Muhan.But what Hua Man'er wants to find out is the battle situation at the border.In this regard, Hua Bao did not explain so clearly in the letter.

"Master, please tell me quickly, how did Jinliao Pass get lost?" Hua Man'er asked eagerly, "Just now I went out to check, the soldiers of Sa State are 20 soldiers and horses, you have [-] troops, and Protected by formations, Jinliao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how could it be breached in just two days and retreat in embarrassment?"

Huabao sighed: "Oh, it's not because of Han Feng."

"Han Feng?" Hua Man'er's eyes widened, and he exchanged a glance with Hua Zehao.

"Isn't General Han's whereabouts unknown? Was he captured?" Hua Zehao asked.

Leopard nodded: "Yes!"

"I would like to hear the details!" Hua Man'er pricked up her ears.

Hua Leopard said: "Before, when General Han first arrived at Jinliao Pass, he did indeed teach formations to protect Jinliao Pass so that even a fly could not fly in. However, once General Han stayed here I was really bored, so out of curiosity, I went hunting outside Jinliao Pass."

"You also know that the Jinliao Mountains are endless and meandering for thousands of miles. Half of the mountains are inside the pass and the other half are outside the pass. General Han went hunting outside the pass. It happened that Princess Chiyan was there too. Hunting is in name, stealing information is in fact."

"When Princess Chiyan saw Han Feng, she remained calm and let him go. Who knew that she was going to set a trap. When General Han went hunting again, Princess Chiyan captured him."

"Princess Chiyan is a forced marriage at all. He wants Han Feng to marry her. Han Feng pretended to agree, and sneaked back when he saw them not paying attention during the wedding. Princess Chiyan led people to hunt him down, but before he had time, Han Feng ran back Jinliao Pass."

"Since then, Princess Chiyan has been crazy. She often leads troops to harass the border of Jinliao and force Han Feng to go out to fight. She said that she will capture the escaped man and be punished."

"Han Feng is very helpless, but he has to face such intrusions from time to time. Fortunately, this is just a small disturbance, and he doesn't bring many soldiers and horses. It seems that Moye didn't come forward to help his sister. He has been silent all this time. I don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.”

"Finally one day, something happened to Han Feng. On that day, Han Feng suddenly received a letter, and then his face changed drastically, and he didn't say anything. After this time, he never came back and disappeared completely. .

"Then a month ago, Maya suddenly appeared. He personally led an army of [-] and appeared downstairs in Jinliao City with Princess Chiyan. Along with that, there was also a prison car, and Han Feng stood impressively on the prison car. Feng was put in shackles, his hair was disheveled, and he was dressed in white prison clothes. In my impression, Han Feng has never been in such a mess, and he has always been a chic and easy person."

When Hua Man'er heard this, her heart ached, and she asked repeatedly: "Is he injured? Was he beaten? Or was he drugged?"

"There are no scars on the surface, but he is obviously in a coma. Maya didn't start fighting, but threatened me with Han Feng. Tell me to retreat to Youqu. As long as I retreat to Youqu, he will not start fighting. Otherwise, he will kill him first. captured Han Feng, and then forcibly attacked Jinliao."

"I was very hesitant at the time. All our generals wanted to save Han Feng, and they didn't want Han Feng to die in front of us. But, as a border guard, how could he retreat without a fight? Han Feng is a general, and everyone The soldiers on the battlefield have all surrendered to the country. I think, even if he himself is sober, he would not be willing to let us retreat without a fight."

"So in the end, the commander-in-chief still refused." Having said that, Hua Bao felt a little sad.

Hua Man'er twitched in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether Hua Bao's decision was right or wrong. If it was her, she might be in a dilemma.

"So, is Han Feng dead? Are you fighting?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"No!" Huabao sighed slightly. "After hearing that I finally decided to refuse, Maya seemed a little disappointed. Princess Chiyan was more obvious, and immediately begged his brother not to kill Han Feng. As a result, my heart Be a little more stable, thinking that I have finally made the right bet."

"Moye sternly rejected his sister, and put the knife on Han Feng's neck. Then he said, if he only retreats to Youqu temporarily, he will withdraw from Jinliao when you come, the princess. If I agree, he will do the right thing. After it's done, put Han Feng back without any harm."

"I asked Maye why he did this. Maye said, it was only for the princess. As long as the princess leaves the majesty and comes to him, the goal is achieved. Jinliao Pass is not important to him, the important thing is that the princess can stay away from Li Muhan. "

"At that time, I just received a letter from the little prince, knowing what happened between you and Your Majesty. I feel sorry for the princess, and I also complain for the princess. If it is as he said, this method can make the princess come to the border, and it can To save Han Feng's life, I am willing to cooperate."

"I was afraid that Maye would renege on his promise, so I signed an agreement with him. As soon as you arrive in Youqu, his army will withdraw from Jinliao Pass and put Han Feng back."

"Now that the princess really came, I have to admire Maya's foresight. But at this moment, I feel uneasy. I don't know if Maya will fulfill the agreement and will let Han Feng back. I don't know whether Han Feng is What medicine did you take wrong, how could you be in a coma?"

"Now that the princess and the little prince are here, I am both worried and happy. I am happy that finally there is a princess who can help me make up my mind, but what is worrying is that I don't know how Maya will treat the princess?"

Huabao finally finished talking about everything, and stared intently at Huaman'er.

Although he is Hua Man'er's master, he has taught Hua Man'er in martial arts.However, after a series of events later, he admitted that he was still slightly inferior in terms of resourcefulness.Therefore, as soon as Hua Man'er arrived, he seemed to have taken a reassurance, and just wanted to consult Hua Man'er's opinion.

There was courage in Hua Man'er's eyes, and she said softly: "Master, don't worry. No matter what medicine is sold in the Maya gourd, this princess and Han Feng are both barbarians, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the barbarian land be invaded by others. We I am ready to sacrifice. This princess has brought another 20 soldiers to fight, I am afraid that he will not be able to please him for a while."

"So, master, please don't be afraid of him. It doesn't matter what he thinks, what matters is what the princess thinks in her heart. Since the princess has already arrived here, the master will ask him to come with General Han tomorrow and fulfill the promise. .”

"Yes, princess!" Leopard took the lead.

At this time, I can finally eat, drink and chat with confidence.

Huabao's wife, Ma Lanxin, also came out to meet her.

Seeing the princess, Ma Lanxin couldn't help but her eyes were red, she groaned for Huaman'er, took her hand, looked left and right, and looked at the little finger for a moment.

Although the gauze had been removed from the little finger, the knuckles it was connected to were swollen, and the slender green fingers of one hand, the little finger alone looked so ugly, it was really a pity and distressed.

Ma Lanxin hesitated to speak, wanted to comfort her, but was afraid of making Huaman'er sad by bringing up the past.Hua Man'er looked at her mood and knew her thoughts, so she smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't hurt at all, madam, don't worry. My fingers don't hurt anymore, and my heart doesn't hurt anymore. There is no relationship between me and him anymore." gone."

Hua Zehao kept looking at his sister, with a blaze of fire in his eyes.

The next day, Hua Bao sent a letter to Maya as expected.Inform the princess that she has arrived, and invite Maya to meet in Youqu City.And please bring Han Feng here and release him face to face.

Everyone thought that Maya would come to see him in a hurry after seeing the letter.

Unexpectedly, Maya replied another letter patiently and politely.

The letter said that the princess had come, and he already knew about it.As a show of sincerity, he will immediately withdraw from Jinliao Pass as promised.

As an envoy, the princess should have an audience with Maya in the ancient city of Lanze, the capital of Sa.Therefore, he will take the army back to the ancient city of Lanze and wait for the princess to go.If the princess goes, Han Feng should be released back.

Hua Man'er smiled wryly when she saw the letter: "This Maya is worthy of being an outstanding monarch, he can endure and stretch, he can move freely, and he can advance and retreat well. Then, this princess has no choice but to go to see her once. No matter how long she is in the dragon's lair, she must break through."

Afterwards, Huabao sent people to investigate again, and the Sa army broke out, and within two days, they quickly withdrew from Jinliao Pass.

Here, Huabao immediately bid farewell to Zhang Taishou and led the army back to Jinliao Pass.

With the addition of reinforcements, Jinliao Pass immediately became 40 troops stationed.This stance, if Maya wants to fight, he will have to pour all the troops of the whole country to have a chance of winning.

"Sister, do you want to go to the ancient city of Lanze as Maya wished? If you go, Hao'er will follow, and I will never let my sister take risks alone."

Hua Man'er refused at first, and didn't want Hua Zehao to take risks, but Hua Zehao couldn't help pleading again and again, so he agreed to go.

So, on this day, Hua Man'er sat in the carriage, escorted by Hua Zehao with five hundred elite soldiers, and set off from Jinliao Pass all the way to the ancient city of Lanze.

The scenery of the desert is infinite, the sun is shining in the sun and the night is cool, but it makes people's mind suddenly broad.

Facing the sunrise and sunset every day, Huamaner suddenly felt that this would be a new beginning.

The shock that the ancient city of Lanze brought to Hua Man'er was too strong.

When this ancient city, which is as beautiful as a castle in a fairy tale, came into Hua Man'er's eyes, Hua Man'er was immediately fascinated by its magnificence and grandeur.

The gate of Lanze Ancient City is open, and colorful flags are fluttering on the tower.

The handsome man with a bright smile like the sun stood majestically at the gate of the city, leading all the civil and military officials to greet him outside the gate.

That enthusiasm, needless to say, does not need to be done, it can be infected ten miles away...
