Chapter 3639 Travel Lightly

Fang Jun returned to the camp outside Xuanwu Gate. A group of princesses were gathering together to talk. The sisters were close and friendly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. His eyes fell on Princess Changle's unparalleled beauty, and when she saw her radiant face and excellent complexion, she smiled knowingly.

Princess Changle met his eyes, her heart skipped a beat, her jade cheeks were stained with red, and she gave the guy a fierce look.

Although the matter between her and Fang Jun didn't satisfy Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Gaoyang had repeatedly stated that she didn't mind, but being "stolen" in the middle of the night when she arrived at the camp yesterday still made her feel uncomfortable, especially when she thought about last night. This guy was full of energy and was doing all kinds of tricks. His whole body was getting hotter and hotter, and his heart was pounding like a deer...

Fang Jun raised the corner of his mouth and moved to the side of Princess Gaoyang. The latter smiled and asked, "Is there anything important that the prince has summoned me?"

Fang Jun paused for a moment, nodded and said: "It is indeed important. The British Duke led hundreds of thousands of troops to Luoyang. They have rested for many days but have not yet set off. His Highness sent his husband to Luoyang to try to persuade the British Duke to side with the East Palace. The soldiers have already gone to pack their bags and will set off soon.”

There was silence in the tent for a moment.

Princess Jinyang held up the train of her skirt and came to sit on the other side of Fang Jun with a light figure. Her beautiful eyes were shining with worry: "I heard from people in the palace that the British princess's attitude is unclear now, and he is probably going to side with the rebels." On the other side, what if my brother-in-law goes there and is harmed by the British? "

With Fang Jun's current status and strength in the East Palace, if he can be killed, it can be said to have taken half of the prince's shoulders off. If Li Ji really leans towards the rebels, he will be killed when Fang Jun arrives. , must be a great contribution.

When he said this, Chang Shan and Xincheng both became nervous, their little faces tensed up. The former said weakly: "Brother-in-law, don't go, it's so dangerous."

Princess Xincheng even said directly: "My sisters, please go and see the prince's brother. Send someone else to go. Why is my brother-in-law in danger? What should I do?"

The two little princesses were filled with concern. They were both frightened by Princess Jinyang's words, and their eyes were watery and about to shed tears.

Princess Gaoyang clicked her tongue, her words full of sourness, and said teasingly: "My brother-in-law, Lang Jun, is really competent at his job. Look at how caring and caring my sisters-in-law are. I really envy others."

Fang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "Your sister is my sister. It is human relations to be friendly and loving." He then said to the three little princesses: "Don't worry, even if the British Lord wants to defect to the rebels, , and will never harm a minor official, kill him It is easy to be a minor minister, but it is difficult to calm down the anger of the Youtun Guards! The British Lord is a supervising minister. No matter what choice he makes, he will definitely support the interests of the empire. How can your highnesses do such things that will bring endless disasters? That’s it.”

Only Li Ji would go crazy to kill him.

Once he is killed in Li Ji's army, not only the Youtun Guards will regard him as a mortal enemy and will fight to the death. The navy that has captured Pingrang City and the Anxi Army in the Western Region will also oppose him. These three powerful armies stand beside him. Even if the rebels finally won the mutiny, Li Ji would never want to continue to sit in the position of chief minister.

It would even directly cause the empire to fall into division... With Li Ji's wisdom, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Princess Changle, who was silent on the side, pursed her lips and said in a clear voice: "Although the British Duke will not murder the Yue Duke, at this time, the east of Baqiao and Tongguan are all under the control of the rebels, and the road to Hedong is already clear. Isolated, if you want to go to Luoyang, you can only take the ancient Shang Road. I have heard that the road is difficult and dangerous, and it is ten times more difficult due to heavy snowfall. "

Fang Jun raised his head and met his eyes. This time Princess Changle did not avoid his eyes, but boldly looked at him.

The concern in his eyes was clearly revealed. Fang Jun was proud and laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry. The road to the Western Regions is ten times more difficult than the ancient Shangyu Road. Didn't Wei Chen still lead the army to fight back and forth? What's more? It is said that the soldiers were defeated in the past Dao, fighting the enemy in the deserted land of Mobei, the difficulty of the journey is simply indescribable. When the East Palace's life and death are at stake, I will do my best to overcome difficulties and obstacles, support Zheng Shuo, and serve with loyalty."

……

In the back hall, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman ordered the maids to take out the clothes one by one and tried to put them into the boxes, but Fang Jun stopped them.

Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "This trip is hundreds of miles away, and there will be high mountains and snowy ravines. Do you think we are going for a sightseeing tour? My husband will lead three hundred soldiers to set off later. The journey will be light and simple. It will be troublesome to have too much luggage. , just bring a few pieces of warm clothing, not all the odds and ends. ”

Even in summer, it is difficult to do business on the ancient road, not to mention that the mountains are covered with heavy snow and the rivers have not yet melted? Carrying so much luggage is just asking for trouble...

The wives and concubines had no choice but to give up and put a large cloak and a few coats into a package. They also took a bristle toothbrush, salt, soap and other items and put them into it. A small package was carried by the maid. Take it out and give it to the soldiers.

After a while, news came from outside that three hundred soldiers were ready and ready to go.

Fang Jun stood up, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "My husband will set off now, all good wives, don't worry about it. However, the situation in Chang'an is unpredictable at the moment, and there is always the risk of overthrow. My husband has already told Wang Fangyi that if the war situation does not go well during this period, When the rebels capture Taiji Palace, Wang Fangyi will lead his troops to escort you westward to Jiaohe City to join the Prince of Hejian County and meet up with your husband after he returns."

Wu Meiniang was shocked and worried: "Has the war situation deteriorated to this point?"

Fang Jun said with a smile: "It's not that serious, but it's better to be prepared for a rainy day and to be careful. If something really cannot be done, don't be stubborn and follow Wang Fangyi's arrangements. Otherwise, even if a little skin is broken among the rebels, you will still be in trouble." The husband will be heartbroken and bleeding. ”

The witty words did not make the three wives and concubines relax. They all nodded solemnly. Princess Gaoyang stepped forward and took Fang Jun's hand. Her bright eyes were full of determination: "Don't worry, sir, we know how to protect ourselves. But you, sir, should do the same." Pay attention to your own safety. No matter what the situation is, don’t worry about leaving green hills without firewood. Don’t act like a temporary hero. You must remember that we are always looking forward to your return.”

Fang Jun felt comforted in his heart, hugged his beloved wife's sharp shoulders, and kissed her smooth forehead gently. His eyes focused on the faces of Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman for a moment, then turned around and strode out of the tent.

Outside the tent, three hundred soldiers were ready to go, hundreds of horses snorted, and all the generals including Gao Kan and Wang Fangyi came to see him off.

Fang Jun came to stand in front of Gao Kan and warned: "No matter what the situation is, remember to guard the Xuanwu Gate, keep the road to the west open, and never rush for quick success."

Gao Kan knelt down on one knee and responded loudly: "I will obey my orders!"

Fang Jun looked at Wang Fangyi again and said softly: "Have you ever kept in mind what I told you?"

Wang Fangyi also knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Commander, I will always be prepared for the worst, and I will definitely live up to the Commander-in-Chief's trust!"

Being able to entrust the safety of his wife and family shows that Fang Jun values ​​and trusts him, but at the same time, this is also a heavy responsibility. Even if he dies, he must not let down Fang Jun's trust.

Fang Jun patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'm just preparing for the worst. That kind of situation probably won't happen. You just need to be careful."

"Here!"

Fang Jun took the reins handed over by Wei Ying, stepped on the stirrups and jumped on his horse. He looked back at the Youtunwei camp, reined in the horse, and shouted: "Let's go!"

The war horse neighed loudly, raised its hooves and ran towards the west.

Three hundred soldiers mounted their horses and followed Fang Jun like a storm cloud. They followed the wall of Chang'an City all the way to the west. After crossing the Wei River, they continued non-stop until they reached Huxian County before crossing the Wei River and returning to the south bank. Then they followed a The flow goes straight south to Taibai Mountain, then turns back east along the foot of Taibai Mountain, from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain to Lantian, and directly into the Bashui River Valley.

At the same time, Changsun Anye set out from Chang'an and led five hundred soldiers from Baqiao eastward to Tongguan. This official road is the main transportation road from Chang'an to somewhere east of Hedong. It is spacious and flat. However, now, the nobles from all over the world are either taking the initiative or being forced to send their families to Guanxiang to help Guanlong. Cars and horses are coming and going all day long. As the weather continues to get warmer and the ice and snow melt, the roads become bumpy and dilapidated.

In addition, they had to avoid the huge convoy heading towards Chang'an from time to time on the road. Changsun Anye and his party had not yet left Xinfeng territory in the evening. (End of chapter)
