Great Zhou Tianzi

017 Outsmarting Tuolong Pass

Six days later, the atmosphere in Wangcheng did not change because of Princess Xueling's far-away marriage. The debtors were still surrounded in front of the high platform, and the wedding procession had to go around from behind. King Zhou Nan never showed up.

Ji Jie brought 200 people from Zhaocheng Guards who had just been trained, and Sima Hui also brought 160 elite soldiers, all of whom were selected from the Palace Guards. Apart from their bright clothes, they had no other place to surpass them. Zhaocheng Guards.

There were five carriages, the one in the middle was Ji Xueling's car, the two in front were filled with dowries that looked glamorous but were incomparably old, and they all came from the warehouse that Ji Jian was in charge of before, most of which were leftovers from a hundred years ago, and the two carriages in the back were filled with dowry. The most was the food and grass supplies for the dowry maids for a month.

King Zhou Nan was really not a stingy man. Ji Jie brought all the food and grass supplies for the 300 people under his command.

If it wasn't for Ji Xueling's reasons, plus the Wangding that was taken away by Zhao Guo, Ji Jie wouldn't have agreed to this thankless job.Two days ago, he personally escorted Ji Xueling back to Wangcheng, and said so many good things that this girl was willing to go to Zhao country with him.

Ji Xueling was very surprised by Ji Jie's healing speed. The shallower wounds healed in two days, and the deeper wounds also completely healed on the fifth day. It would take at least half a month for others, and it might not be so good. completely.

Ji Jie knew that this was the benefit brought to him by "The Judgment of the King of Yu". All he needed to do was to calm down and do the cycle. When the air flowed through the wound, it would quickly repair it until a not-so-obvious scar was formed in the end.

"Captain Sima, lead the way!" Ji Jie's tone was full of disdain, and he really didn't like Sima Hui.

Sima Hui's face turned ugly, and he said, "Mr. Zhao Wen, I'm leading the palace guards. Is it overkill to lead the way? I suggest that your people spread out and my people will protect the princess' carriage!"

"Aren't you awake?" Ji Jie glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and said, "I'm marrying off to the general, and you are the deputy general, so you only have to obey orders. Where do you have the right to give orders? Because you are leading the Imperial Palace Guards, only by walking in the front can I show my national prestige and the grandeur of the emperor, stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Unless Ji Jie's brain was kicked by a donkey, if he was killed, he would not hand over Ji Xueling's carriage to Sima Hui for protection, so what am I, a general, doing?Even if he agrees, Ji Xueling probably won't agree.

A group of people set off in the direction of Zhao State. This trip has to pass through Wei State to reach Handan City. The journey is nearly [-] miles, [-] miles a day, and it can be easily reached within a month.

Sima Hui's men walked hundreds of meters away, and Ji Jie ordered the cavalry to start marching. Sixty light cavalry walked in the front, then forty heavy armored infantry, and then five carriages. Forty horsemen were in charge of protection. The agile light infantry, that is, the assassination squad in the Zhaocheng Guards, followed by forty archers and twenty light cavalry led the formation, and Ji Jie rode his horse and walked beside the princess's car.

Ji Jian was in charge of arranging the formation, and after doing all this, he rushed up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your formation is amazing, I just don't understand, why does it look like you are guarding against Sima Hui in front? "

"That's right, you can see it all!" Ji Jie said meaningfully, "Do you still remember that I asked you to send someone to spy on the intelligence a few days ago?"

"Remember!" Ji Jian nodded. He sent the person out, but he reported directly to Ji Jie after he came back, so he didn't know what kind of information he got.

"I asked them to keep an eye on the prince Ji Jia!" Ji Jie said in a low voice, "My cousin has always advocated marrying the princess to Qi, but in the end he failed. Have to guard against!"

"No way!" Ji Jian pouted towards the carriage and said, "It's his own sister in there, so she shouldn't be playing any dirty tricks?"

Ji Jie smiled but didn't answer. If Ji Jia really didn't want to play tricks, why did he insist on Sima Hui as the deputy general? Even if the trip was dangerous, he wouldn't send two teams to protect him along the way!

"Your Excellency Zhao Wenjun, the princess invites you to board the carriage to discuss matters!" A maid sitting outside the carriage shouted.

What kind of trouble is this girl going to do?A few days ago, if Ji Jie hadn't been recuperating, she would have been tortured to death by her. Ji Xueling, who seems quiet and quiet, didn't know where she learned the tricks, and the maid should have taught her all of them.

Ji Jian said in a very ambiguous tone: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"

"Take care of your uncle!" Ji Jie cursed with a smile, jumped onto the carriage directly from the back of the horse, opened the door curtain and got in.

"Meet the princess!"

"Mr. Zhaowen is free, please sit down! It's none of your business, you go out!"

After the two maids were kicked out, Ji Xueling changed her serious attitude before, reached out and grabbed Ji Jie's ear and said, "I'm almost bored to death, you didn't take the initiative to come in and talk to me, and I have to call you!"

"It hurts..." Ji Jie pretended to be in pain, and said with a smile, "I've just set off for a while, and I can't wait to get into your car, I will be misunderstood!"

"Let them misunderstand, anyway, I'm already yours!" Ji Xueling fell into Ji Jie's arms, gasped and said, "You have to be responsible to me, otherwise I'll die for you!"

Auntie, when did you become mine?I, Ji Jie, swear to God, I have never done anything to you. Although I have hugged you many times, you hug me first every time. As a normal man, how could I not be moved by it? ?

There were a few times when Ji Jie almost lost control, and he was about to "get to the point", but Ji Xueling quit, and could get away in time every time, which made his aspirations high but he could only hold back.

"Ling'er, how many times have I told you that I will definitely protect your safety and bring you back unscathed!" Ji Jie vowed, he knew the person in his arms too well, this girl is very sensitive, Just show it a little bit, and she'll be able to read what's on your mind.

"I believe it!" Ji Xueling said sweetly, "What happened last time fully proves your words!"

The Purifying Mantra, the Purifying Mantra, Ji Jie recited it silently over and over again, to calm the desire that was about to move.

Going east for dozens of miles, he has already entered the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom. From this, it can be seen how limited the land controlled by Da Zhou is. In front of him is a majestic pass—the Wei Kingdom Tuolong Pass.

The name of this place is Tuolongling, and the state of Wei built a pass here in honor of the favorable terrain to resist Qin's attack. However, the Qin army has never chosen to invade from here for more than a hundred years, and the importance of Tuolongguan has never been greater. is manifested.

A dozen yawning soldiers stood on the tall city gate. When they heard the sound of horseshoes below, Ji Jie had already led a group of light cavalry standing behind the gate. If it can't last for an hour and three quarters, this grand pass will have to change hands.

"This is General Zhaowen Ji Jie. By order of the emperor, he sent the princess into Zhao!" Ji Jian shouted to the top, "Please open the city gate and let me pass!"

Soon a man wearing a general's uniform appeared on it, glanced at Ji Jie below and the cavalry behind him, and said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry, I just received the military order from King Wei yesterday. In order to ensure the safety of Tuolong Pass, the army has been mobilized abnormally, and the pass will be closed from now on, and no one can enter or enter!"

"What, seal the customs?" Ji Jian said a little angrily, "Why don't you seal it sooner or later, but today it starts to seal it. Didn't your king of Wei receive the news that the emperor has to go through the state of Wei to marry a daughter?"

"Then I don't know, I just know that I will do what the king of Wei says!" The guard spat and said, "If you want to pass here, there is no way! Unless you can conquer this pass, but it's up to you These [-] people are probably not close at all!"

Ji Jian was about to get angry, Ji Jie stopped him, shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly, the situation is not good for me!"

"Could it be going back the same way?" Ji Jian was very unwilling.

"I think it's better to go back, let the emperor send envoys to negotiate with the king of Wei, and come back after obtaining the customs clearance document!" Sima Hui said: "Last time, I just informed the king of Wei briefly, and he probably forgot about it. Already!"

This sounded reasonable, Ji Jie looked at the setting sun, and said helplessly, "I can't go back today, everyone will camp here and rest for one night, and return to Wangcheng tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, he took Ji Jian to look for Ji Xueling. Sima Hui winked at the top of the city, and the guard responded immediately and also winked at him.

This way is blocked, the happiest person is Ji Xueling, happy like a bird.Looking at Ji Jie again, he sighed endlessly, and from time to time he looked up at the pass that was over ten feet high, with a helpless expression on his face.

Bury the stove, eat, late at night...

Finally, Ji Xueling, who was in a good mood, was coaxed to sleep. Ji Jie walked to a hidden place, where Ji Jian had been waiting for a long time.

"All asleep?"

"Hmm! Sima Hui and his men slept like dead pigs!" Ji Jian replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty's medicine really worked, and no one felt that the soup tasted wrong!"

Ji Jie arranged for Ji Jian to add a little perspiration medicine to Sima Hui's dinner. After eating, they felt very drowsy. They thought it was because they were too tired after walking all day, so they all fell asleep in the tent.

"Okay, let's move!" Ji Jie gave an order, and forty assassins with quick hands and wearing black night clothes quickly approached the city wall under the cover of night.

After making sure that the defenders above did not find them, one of them pulled out two daggers, inserted them into the gap between the city bricks, and climbed up with both hands.
