step by step

Chapter 216 Departure to Beiliang
And the land outside Hexi is fertile, it is the fertile land that many enemy countries covet, attracting heroes from all walks of life to fight against each other all the year round, and Donglin Emperor is naturally inevitable.

Before that, he tried to persuade Ye Wenxuan to take Hexi more than once, but it was a pity that the other party refused by saying that it was "difficult for a military strategist".

As for the real reason, even Emperor Donglin didn't know very well.

Unexpectedly, one day Ye Wenxuan would change his mind for his granddaughter and take the initiative to take Hexi back for him, which is really shocking.

How could Emperor Donglin refuse?

However, what made Emperor Donglin embarrassing was that Ye Wenxuan wanted to personally escort him away. Wouldn't this go against his and Princess Yingxin's plan?

He immediately started thinking about killing two birds with one stone. He planned to win Hexi, but he didn't want to give up on his aunt's plan.

"The princess is going to leave in a few days. The general is afraid that he will not be able to prepare in a hurry. I know that the general is worried. Why don't I send more people to take care of the granddaughter for the general along the way. In this way, the general can fight with confidence and get it back as soon as possible. The Land of Hexi!"

Emperor Donglin said tentatively.

Ye Wenxuan took a sharp look at him when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this trip to Beiliang is full of dangers. How can I rest assured that if Zhao Yan is not safe, I will not be able to concentrate on the battle!"

Emperor Donglin frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect the old man to be so tough and cunning.

He glanced at the other party's solemn expression, and knew that if he insisted on forcing it, the other party would definitely be furious.

If you repent in a fit of anger, the gain outweighs the loss.

"This battle is in a hurry, and I hope His Majesty can send two capable lieutenants to go with the veterans." Ye Wenxuan said solemnly, and then changed the subject, with a regretful tone: "The trip to Beiliang is the dignity of Princess Yingxin, if there is no royal family to accompany her , I’m afraid I’ve lost my prestige. Please Your Majesty invite a few members of the royal family to go on the road together as envoys, so that we can take care of them.”

When Emperor Donglin heard the words, he suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.

He wanted to use that Ye Zhaoyan to achieve his goal for him during this trip to Beiliang, but he never expected that the bait thrown by Ye Wenxuan would lead the army.

In this way, it will be difficult for my aunt to deal with.

A mature king always puts profit first, thinking that Hexi, which he lost many years ago, is about to be acquired. Although Emperor Donglin is very reluctant to let down Princess Yingxin, in order to stabilize Ye Wenxuan who fought for Hexi for himself, he never I can't control much.

"Okay, I allow the general to bring three members of the royal family to go with you."

Marven Ye cupped his hands, thanked him, turned around and left without any intention of staying.

Looking at that tall and straight figure, Emperor Donglin hated in his heart, if he could completely control this force, how could he be restrained by the other party, making him succeed repeatedly and had to compromise?
After all, this knife is no longer handy after being used for a long time.

Emperor Donglin let out a long sigh, his eyes were deep, looking out the window at the fading night, his eyes were as deep as a pool of unfathomable well water.

After an autumn rain washes away, the vegetation looks more vibrant.

On this day, Ye Zhengping left Jindu with a group of people.

This group included Princess Yingxin and Chu Li's team, Ye Zhengping, Ye Zhaoyan, and several direct descendants of the royal family, including Zhuo Mingxuan from Zhuo Wang's residence, Jiang Ziqiu from Qing Prince's residence, Mrs. Xi Han from the former empress's natal family, and others. All are followers.

Ye Wenxuan still stayed in Jindu to prepare for the Ye family army and the main force, delaying their departure for two days.

Outside Jindu Chengguan, Ye Zhengping was dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall horse, wearing silver-gray armor, with a high-spirited aura, and a handsome and resolute face with a bit of murderous intent.

He led a team of elite guards in front of the line not far from Princess Yingxin.

And Zhuo Mingxuan and others lead another team to guard behind.

In the gorgeous carriage not far away, Princess Yingxin leaned on the soft couch, closed her eyes and rested her mind, she didn't know if she was asleep or feigned sleep.

The curtain hangs down slightly, covering her delicate face.

Beside her, the serving girl lowered her head and waited carefully.

After noticing the even breathing of the girl not far from her side, she opened her eyes, and saw the face with her eyes closed tightly, her eyes were full of viciousness.

On the other side of the spacious carriage, a girl with heroic features was leaning on the soft bed to rest. Her sleeping face was peaceful and peaceful, with a bit of exhaustion from falling into a deep dream.

It was Ye Zhaoyan who was on the road with Princess Yingxin.

Although the plan between Emperor Donglin and Princess Yingxin has been shelved for the time being, Princess Yingxin begged Emperor Donglin to put Ye Zhaoyan under her nose.

Emperor Donglin knew that it was wrong to break his promise, so he did not refuse her request.

Princess Yingxin recalled Emperor Donglin's guilty words, and couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, her finger bones turned white.

Because of Ye Wenxuan's words, Emperor Donglin changed his mind again and abandoned their mother and child.

Breaking her promise several times has already exhausted her patience, and the last thing she did to maintain her dignity was just a temporary expedient measure.

The nails painted with Kodan sank into the palm of her hand, and bright red blood flowed down her fingers.

Don't blame me for being unrighteous!

Inside the carriage, a group of maidservants held their breath and silently wiped the blood on her hands.

After a long time, the usual calm was restored in the carriage.

Princess Yingxin restrained the vicious look on her face, opened the curtain and looked outside.

Outside, Ye Zhengping led a group of soldiers in front of the horses. The uniform armor and weapons on his waist looked quite intimidating, making people fearful and respectful.

The team galloped all the way to Hexi, and when they passed Jingzhou, the team would split into two halves, and the two groups would head north and south respectively, and one would continue to move forward to meet the army behind Ye Wenxuan, and go straight to Hexi. , and the other branch crossed the border of Beiliang with Princess Yingxin and escorted her to meet the royal family of Beiliang.

During this period of time, Princess Yingxin didn't speak to Ye Zhengping and others, her expression was tense along the way, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The team was mighty, and the gates of the cities they encountered along the way opened their gates to welcome Ye Jiajun and Princess Yingxin.

The princess is delicate, and the marching carriage was slow. On the fourth day, Ye Wenxuan led the vanguard to Jingzhou from a road and waited quietly at the spot.

"General, we are advancing this way. When we pass through Jingzhou, the spies from Hexi will definitely send troops to intercept us. At that time, we need to ask the general to be more troublesome!"

After staying in a city, Lieutenant General Liu Yuanfeng stood respectfully behind Ye Wenxuan and reminded in a low voice.

Ye Wenxuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Ye must do his best to protect the safety of Princess Yingxin. Vice General Liu, you send someone to inform the Beiliang royal family, saying that Princess Yingxin and the Tianlu royal family are heading to Beiliang The border will arrive in two days, please come and meet them."

"As ordered!"

The lieutenant bowed and saluted, then turned and retreated.

Not long after, Ye Zhengping and his party arrived near Jingzhou.

　Tomorrow is to be a monster and deal with it on the road to Beiliang.
