Chapter 222 The bold foreigners must want to ruin this marriage!
"Xiao Fang, you can go back to your old job!"
After Shen Lanxi finished speaking, Xiao Fang immediately shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, follow your brother to make a fortune!"
Xiao Fang ordered twenty people, changed their clothes, and set off immediately.
Shen Yuanjing asked worriedly: "General, will something happen?"
Shen Lanxi: "Are you worried that they will be recognized?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded.
Shen Lanxi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Even if I recognize him, what can I do?"
Shen Yuanjing's eyes slowly opened wide.
Half an hour later, Xiao Fang brought people back to resume his life.
"More than a dozen were injured, but no one was killed!"
Shen Lanxi: "Let's go, wait while we walk!"
"Yes!"
There was no need for anyone to rush them this time. After a while, Heqin's team was running like arrows from the string, catching up with them quickly.
"General Shen, wait a minute, wait for us!" Nie Shuanghai hurriedly caught up with Shen Lanxi.
"General Shen, we were attacked by horse thieves."
Shen Lanxi was furious, "Who dares to attack the marriage team?"
Nie Shuanghai glanced at her, He quickly lowered his head and said truthfully: "They are dressed as foreigners. We can't understand what they say!"
Shen Lanxi was furious: "The bold foreigners must want to ruin this marriage. They are so ambitious!"
>
Xiao Fang and others twitched the corners of their mouths calmly.
Nie Shuanghai became nervous.
"General, we have just left the capital not long ago, why are the foreigners so bold?"
Shen Lanxi sighed and said seriously: "The foreigners are sure that our great Zhou Dynasty will fall apart. They just want to Destroy the marriage and prevent the marriage from ruining their alliance plan. When the time comes, they will definitely go south and continue carving up the hinterland of our Central Plains!" She became more and more sad as she spoke, worrying about the country and the people.
Nie Shuanghai felt a sense of urgency: "If it is really like what the general said, then the foreigners will definitely not let us reach the northwest safely!"
Shen Lanxi: "Commander Nie Yingming, that's what they plan to do. I guess our next journey will be uneven!"
Nie Shuanghai immediately mentioned it in his heart.
"General, what should we do?"
Shen Lanxi shook her head helplessly and sighed: "With just us, it is difficult for us to fight with two fists. The enemy is hidden and we are clear. "Yes, we are afraid that if we can't reach Jialing Pass, we will have to bury ourselves on the way to the northwest!"
Nie Shuanghai is afraid. His parents are old, his children are young, his wife is weak, and his siblings are still young, and he has a large family! , I’m counting on him alone, nothing can happen to him!
"General, is there nothing we can do?" Nie Shuanghai was already like an ant on the hot pot.
Shen Lanxi said earnestly: "It's not that I can't help it, it's... you'd better go and talk to the other ministers!"
Nie Shuanghai saw that Shen Lanxi had something to say, and the marriage team was here You really need to be notified. If the adults in the marriage team can't do anything, he will come to the general.
He can understand, after all, General Shen is a woman, so he probably hasn’t made up his mind. When things like this happen, they have to rely on their men to make the decision.
Nie Shuanghai called several adults from the Ministry of Rites to go find Zhou Yunyue.
Zhou Yunyue felt like her insides were about to explode. She felt so angry that it was all her fault that Shen Lanxi had abandoned them. Otherwise those horse thieves wouldn't have hurt so many of them.
Thinking of the arrogant words of the horse thief who wanted to rob her, Zhou Yunyue couldn't stop her tears from rolling down. "Princess, Commander Nie and the adults from the Ministry of Rites are here!" the palace maid reminded.
Zhou Yunyue quickly wiped her tears, no, she can't let others see her like this, it will damage the royal dignity.
“Bring me the curtain hat quickly!”
"Yes!"
Nie Shuanghai told Zhou Yunyue about the foreign attack.
"Princess, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful if we go to the northwest. We only have these people, and I'm afraid it won't be enough, so we have to ask the court for troops!"
Cao Ziling's expression is not much better now. When he was running away in a panic, he was thrown off the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was not going very fast at the time and he fell on a small slope again. He was just frightened and was not seriously injured.
“Princess, let’s ask the local garrison to send someone to escort us!”
Zhou Yunyue's eyes flashed. She only dared to be arrogant in the marriage team. She said she wanted to write a letter to her father before, but she just said it casually because of her status as a princess. She really didn't dare to ask her to write a letter!
"If we want local troops to escort us, do we have to report it to the court?"
Nie Shuanghai was stunned and answered honestly: "Of course we have to report it."
Zhou Yunyue's eyes moved. After a moment, he straightened his back subconsciously and said: "Now that there is turmoil everywhere in my country, troops must be sent everywhere. There must be insufficient troops, so we won't bother to station troops locally."
Nie Shuanghai frowned: "Princess , what should we do if we encounter another sneak attack by foreigners?”
Zhou Yunyue rolled her eyes: "Isn't there Shen Lanxi? Isn't she the general who counter-rebellion? She must be very powerful. You go find her!"
The more she spoke, the more she felt that this was the way it should be, and her next tone , more confident.
"Shen Lanxi is responsible for escorting me to the northwest to get married. If something happens on the way, it is because she did not protect her well. I will tell my father that she is not worthy of her reputation as a counter-rebellion general!"
Nie Shuanghai scolded Zhou Yunyue in his heart and resigned respectfully.
After leaving, he immediately went to Shen Lanxi and told Zhou Yunyue's original words truthfully.
Shen Lanxi: "Princess, this is because you have confidence in me as a general who is counterinsurgency. Commander Nie, let's go to a nearby city to rest for a day, and then my brother Fei will pass a letter to the court to discuss how to proceed. There are so many capable people in the court, and we will definitely be able to Share our worries!”
Nie Shuanghai really wants to ask, are you sure?
The group of them finally arrived at Hailing City just before the city gate was closed at night.
The reply from the court came the next morning.
Emperor Renxiao personally wrote that the local guards could not move and allowed her to hire some people to escort her all the way!
As for the money for the hire, not a word was mentioned.
Shen Lanxi said nothing, and immediately ordered people to start hiring people with the imperial edict!
At the same time, several pigeons and eagles flew towards Dongchuan and northwest respectively!
Qian Feng, who had already arrived at Jialing Pass, immediately led a group of people towards Hailing City after receiving the letter.
With the imperial edict, they can be "employed" openly.
After receiving the letter from Feiying, several people from Dongchuan dressed up as merchants and set off toward the northwest.
Stayed in Hailing City for five days and recruited two hundred people with a lot of money. This was the sky-high price of three hundred taels of silver offered by Shen Lanxi, so that Qingzhuang was willing to sign up.
Some people are already spreading the news in Hailing City privately.
"Bullshit employment, just to catch strong men!"
"Going to the northwest, where is the northwest? There is a war over there. Even if you get the money, you will not spend your life!"< br>
"It would have been okay if I had given this money back then!"
"No shit, this is money to buy your life. Those who sign up must be people who are in urgent need of money and have no choice but to do it!"
"Remember the Wei Jiajun? Do you want to be like them?"
"Those who were taken away by the Northern Expeditionary Army during our conscription for more than two years, have you ever received a letter back?"
br>
Because the three hundred taels of people who were ready to move, their thoughts were instantly extinguished.
