Chapter 154

It is a long way to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yu Wangyan and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty calculated the time. To arrive in Pingcheng before the birthday of the Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they really needed to hurry.

Although Yu Wangyan did not want to accommodate the Northern Wei Dynasty in this way, Emperor Tianying had already agreed to this request, and Yu Wangyan could not let Dayao lose his promise.

After walking for most of the day, the team rested under the shade of trees.After Xiao Sesu and Pang Ling got out of the car, they went to talk to Yu Po to relieve her tension and discomfort.

On the contrary, He Ji came back from the black market last night, bringing with him the elixir and prescriptions prepared by the black market doctor, and also bought a lot of medicines.This medicine is effective, Yu Wangyan has kept it well for emergency use in the future.

Xiao Zhiyuan got off his horse and walked quickly towards Xiao Sesu, "Sister!"

Xiao Sesu looked back and said with a smile, "Zhiyuan."

They walked for most of the day, Xiao Zhiyuan always rode on a horse, for this little scholar, riding a horse was definitely not very used to him.

Xiao Sesu held Xiao Zhiyuan's hand, lowered her body slightly and said, "Is it uncomfortable to ride a horse? How about sitting in the car with me in the afternoon."

"No sister, I'm fine." Xiao Zhiyuan shook his head, his eyes sparkling.

Xiao Sesu was relieved, and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan has grown up."

"Hmph, growing up just by riding a horse? A scholar is a scholar, what a prospect!" An arrogant shout sounded suddenly.

Looking around bleakly, he saw that it was Zhang Yifan who was speaking.

Zhang Yifan, like Xiao Zhiyuan, is only 13 years old. Now he is leaning against a tree with a sword in his hand. He glanced at Xiao Zhiyuan with contemptuous eyes, and sneered, "I'm a scholar! I started riding horses when I was five years old." , what does a noble young master like you know!"

Xiao Zhiyuan quickly gave a big gift, "Brother Yifan, that's not what you said."

"Don't call him brothers!" Zhang Yifan spat: "Dayao values ​​literature over martial arts, and I can't afford the love of a scholar!"

It has to be said that based on his momentum, Zhang Yifan is more than a hundred times stronger than Xiao Zhiyuan.Although Zhang Yifan was young and energetic, but Xiao Zhiyuan had never even traveled far, so naturally he couldn't compare to Zhang Yifan's ability and insight that he had experienced in the military camp.

Pang Ling couldn't understand Zhang Yifan like this, so she didn't show mercy, "Little brat, at your age, you are too frivolous! What does it matter to you if the siblings talk, want to learn from each other? I'll accompany you!"

Zhang Yifan sized Pang Ling up and sneered, "I don't care to fight with women."

"This little brat, it's really the wrong way." Pang Ling glared at Zhang Yifan, and didn't bother to pay him any more attention.

Xiao Sesu felt uncomfortable at the moment.Obviously Zhang Yifan was her closest brother, but she held Xiao Zhiyuan's hand and watched the people on her side scolding Zhang Yifan.

Fortunately, Pang Ling stopped scolding and Zhang Yifan ignored them, Xiao Sesu heaved a sigh of relief, and continued talking to Yu Po.

In the days before her marriage, Emperor Tianying sent some teaching officials to explain the Northern Wei Dynasty to Yupo, so that she could know herself and her enemy.Therefore, the current Yupo has grasped the situation of the Northern Wei imperial court.

The royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was surnamed Yuan, and the crown prince was born of the empress.There are still a few brothers below, the only one who can stand against him is the second prince born by Concubine Shu.

I heard that the second prince is a virtuous person and a man to be made. However, a few days ago, the Yuan family had a scandal, saying that the second prince was born by concubine Shu and the guards.It was because of this incident that the Yuan clan's royal family was in chaos, so they stopped fighting against Dayao and delayed it by making peace.

Now, Concubine Shu has been thrown into the cold palace, the second prince has been expelled from Pingcheng, and the internal strife in the Yuan family has temporarily subsided. The sensual prince, under the control of the queen, has dominated his family, and even gave the second prince a special title. For "hidden", it means to let him disappear forever and never come back.

Yu Po said worriedly: "Before I left, Brother Six told me that the second prince is the peace faction, and the queen and prince are the main war faction. Now that the second prince has been kicked out of Pingcheng, I don't know if I, the emperor concubine, can stop it." How long will the queen and prince's war ambitions last?"

Xiao Sesu patted Yu Po's hand, and comforted with a light smile: "Take one step at a time, do what you can, do your best and obey the destiny, and just seek a life worthy of your heart."

Feeling something in Yu Po's heart, he nodded slowly.

After walking for a few days, they arrived at Dayao's Beiguan.

Passing through this pass, there is the Northern Wei Dynasty.

That night, the general guarding Beiguan hosted a banquet to see Yu Po off.

Yu Po was overwhelmed with alcohol, so he left the table after drinking a little.Xiao Sesu went out with her, and asked He Huan and He Shushanzong to help Yu Wangyan block the wine.

Tonight, the moon is white, the wind is clear, and the stars are dotted. It was a good night.

But for Yu Po, tomorrow he will completely leave the hometown where he was born and raised, and he feels lost in his heart, he is really not in the mood to chat with others.

Xiao Sesu accompanied her, standing above the city gate, with a bright moon and stars above her head, and a deep blue sky, what she could see were the lights of thousands of families and the vast mountains.

Yu Po suddenly smiled and said: "At the end of the day, I'm still scared."

Xiao Sesu smiled and murmured: "It's human nature, Diji don't think too much."

"But I have made up my mind to step into the Northern Wei Dynasty proudly, without any fear." Under the night, Yu Po's face looked like a hibiscus flower, but after experiencing the rain, it was even more beautiful and charming.

Such a posture is worthy of being a responsible Empress.Xiao Sesu said softly: "The emperor pays off, and with Diji's efforts, I believe that the peace between Dayao and the Northern Wei Dynasty can be maintained for a long time."

In the distance, the sound of music drifted from hazy to clear.

Xiao Sesu was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Yu Po.They all heard the clear and textured music, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes high, sometimes low, clear as water but long and long.

Someone is knocking the chime, I don't know where.

Neither of them had ever heard this piece of music before. It was low-pitched and sad, and seemed to relieve their worries by having fun.But the crisp voice shattered the confusion again, it was as clear as a star, and it was extremely sincere in my ears.

Yupo's heart moves at will, and he can't help singing along with the music: "The cypress on the Qingling Mausoleum, the stone in the leilei stream. Life in the world, suddenly like a traveler..."

Life between heaven and earth, suddenly like a traveler?Xiao Sesu shook his head.This poem sounds a little negative and world-weary.

She knew that Yu Po was just venting her emotions, not really negative and world-weary, but Xiao Sesu still didn't want Yu Po to fall into this atmosphere.So, she took down the insect flute, put it to her lips, and played it along with the music.

Although the sound of the ocarina is different due to different materials, it is still possible to play a light and light feeling.

Xiao Sesu dexterously pressed the sound hole with ten fingers, blowing out a brisk tone, and gradually suppressed the sound of the chime.

But blowing and blowing, Xiao Sesu suddenly noticed something strange.Her voodoo talent allows her to communicate with the reptiles when she plays the insect flute, even if she is not summoning them now, she can still sense their presence and movement.

At this moment, through the insect flute, Xiao Sesu noticed that the reptiles in the vicinity were in a state of anxiety, as if it was because of the chime song.

That piece of music somehow seemed to have affected the balance of yin and yang here, which made Xiao Sesu feel unbelievable.

Who was that knocker?

She suddenly remembered the blind musician she met on the street with Princess Xunyang and Yupo on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.That person was holding a blue-black copper chime, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

Xiao Sesu didn't think about it anymore, because she suddenly felt tired.

It may be that the climate is not acclimatized, since she left Shunjing, she was prone to sleepiness, and she always fell asleep while sitting in the carriage.

The sound of the chime gradually disappeared, and Xiao Sesu also stopped the insect flute, calling Yu Po to rest earlier.

The next day, they drove out of Dayao North Pass and entered the vast mountains of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yu Po was in low spirits all the way, and everyone knew that she needed time to sort out her mood.

Right now the team is marching in the mountain road, Yu Wangyan looked at the map, this generation is full of mountains.It takes several days to walk out of the mountains and onto the plains.And Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was on the plain.

"King Jin, there is a dangerous road ahead, be careful when driving." The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty pointed to the map to remind him.

Yu Wangyan called a vanguard officer over, and said to him, "You go ahead to find the way first."

"Yes."

The vanguard immediately ran over on horseback.

No one expected that suddenly, an arrow came through the air and hit the vanguard officer's head.

The vanguard officer still maintained the posture of riding the horse, with his eyes open, and just fell off the horse.

"Who?" The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty was taken aback.

As soon as the body of the vanguard officer in front fell to the ground, a row of people dressed as soldiers appeared above their heads, holding bows and arrows and aiming at the peace procession.Those people also prepared catapults, a dozen big stones were about to move, and as long as they gave an order, the stones would fall down.

This is obviously an ambush, and they are waiting to attack the relative Di Ji.

What made everyone even more uproar was that those people above were dressed as soldiers of Dayao!

The pro-marriage team all drew their weapons and looked at the above in full readiness.

Only the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty turned pale, and grabbed Yu Wangyan's skirt and shouted: "You Dayao Kingdom is really too despicable, you don't want to get married, so why pretend to be sincere!"

Yu Wangyan's eyes froze, cold and menacing, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty felt a chill in his heart, and withdrew his hand.

Yu Wangyan said coldly: "If I, Dayao, really don't want to get married, why bother. Instead of sending people to rob and kill Diji, it is better to order King Xunyang to directly invade the Northern Wei Dynasty."

The envoy was silenced.

At this moment Yu Po's car has been protected by a group of people, Yu Wangyan rode his horse close to Yu Po, raised his head and shouted coldly: "Who is here!"

The people above did not answer, only one person stood up, made a gesture, and immediately fired all arrows towards the marriage team.

Everyone hurriedly brandished their weapons. On this narrow mountain path, being ambushed like this, it was impossible to escape.After a round of arrows was set, there were already many corpses on the ground, and countless people turned their backs on their backs.What followed was that the boulder rolled down, shaking the ground and shaking the mountain.

Shouts and screams were endless, and in a blink of an eye, they seemed to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.However, the narrow mountain road was damaged and fell off because of the boulder. Some people were still running away with swords, and the road under their feet suddenly broke, and people and stones fell off the cliff.
