C224 Northwest Expedition

Finally, the day Duan Yunfei would set off for war.

Xiao Yang stood in front of the copper mirror and was about to dress up for Duan Yunfei.

However, Duan Yunfei grabbed her and tied her hair up into a man's bun. Then, he turned around to Xiao Yang and said: "I am leading a group to war, not touring the mountains and water. Disguising as a man is for the best. You don't have to dress me up so meticulously. "

Duan Yunfei's tone was calm, but Xiao Yang could not help but feel a little sad.

Even if Duan Yunfei had been decisive in her killing, she was still a woman. Now that she was leading her troops to battle, Xiao Yang really couldn't be at ease.

"Princess, please let me accompany you." Xiao Yang turned and said to Duan Yunfei with a pleading tone of voice.

Duan Yunfei packed her luggage, and without raising her head, she said to Xiao Yang: "I'm going to war, not sightseeing, so I don't need you to take care of me. Furthermore, you have never been out of the palace city before, so how would you know about the dangers of the battlefield? "

"But …"

Xiao Yang still wanted to say something, but he raised his head and looked at her, and then swallowed his words.

Duan Yunfei stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Yang's forehead, and said to her with a smile: "Silly girl, you don't have to worry about me.

Xiao Yang raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei, and then nodded heavily towards her. Princess, the day of our departure is soon. Do you have any other instructions? "

Duan Yunfei looked at her man's attire in the copper mirror, and became a little absent-minded. She turned her head and looked at Red Luan Palace once. Finally, she said to Xiao Yang in a soft voice, "It's cold in the northwest, and the journey is far away. Help me heat a pot of hot wine to bring with you."

Xiao Yang nodded, and was about to go out and prepare.

Xiao Ya suddenly walked in from outside the house.

She bowed to Duan Yunfei, brought a jug of wine to Duan Yunfei and said: "Princess, this was sent by Sir Xiu Huang. He said that she would go to the mountain and seal it for ten thousand miles, so that you could take it with you to warm your body. "

Duan Yunfei was surprised, but nodded her head.

I have a pot of wine to soothe the dust. The carriage and the group had all drunk their fill.

The auspicious hour had arrived.

The slightly pale sunlight shone on the white jade steps, shaking people's eyes warmly.

Dressed in battle armour, Duan Yunfei rode on her horse and stood at the very front of the army, looking at the soldiers in front of him in high spirits.

This was the first time she commanded an army, and the blood in her heart seemed to be burning.

Duan Yunfei walked down the stairs step by step and raised her head to look forward. The palace was as bustling as it was in the past, the great hall was filled with the clamor of people. Only Mu Chuyang was not there.

Since she was young, Mu Chuyang would always be by her side no matter what Duan Yunfei did. Only this time, he never appeared.

"Forget it!" Duan Yunfei was a little discouraged, since she did not want to meet her, then let's not see her anymore.

The sound of the drum rang out at this moment. It was majestic and it continued endlessly throughout this vast world.

Leading troops to war.

Even though this was the first time Duan Yunfei was leading a troop of soldiers, she, who had been familiar with the art of military strategy since childhood, did not display the slightest hint of fear. She was very careful along the way, never making the slightest mistake.

"Although the Thirteenth Princess is a woman, her strategic vision is inferior to many men."

"That's to be expected. Everyone in the palace said that the Thirteenth Princess was the person who was most similar to His Majesty today. Naturally, that's something that no one else could compare to."

The soldiers in the army talked among themselves, most of them having admiration for Duan Yunfei.

At this time, Duan Yunfei was sitting in her tent, carefully planning her next route.

"Thirteenth Princess, you have worked hard all day, please drink some water." Vice General Zhang brought a cup of tea over, and respectfully handed it over to Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei took it from Vice General Zhang's hands, but her eyes never left the map on the table.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Duan Yunfei's expression became much more relaxed. In the end, she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at Vice General Zhang. In three days, we will reach the northwest. "

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Vice General Zhang also laughed. He bowed towards Duan Yunfei and said: "Thirteenth Princess, we have been on the march for so long, this is the first time I have seen you smile."

Duan Yunfei subconsciously stopped smiling, raised her head and looked at Vice General Zhang, and in the end, nodded at him with a smile.

This march concerned the war in the northwest. Duan Yunfei had gone out to represent her father, and it concerned the Jin Country's territory and the prestige of the imperial family. Naturally, Duan Yunfei did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

When Duan Yunfei walked out of the tent, she saw that the morale of the soldiers were high and felt much better.

"Command all soldiers to continue their journey today." "Be sure to come to Stone City and rest before nightfall." Duan Yunfei waved to the Vice General Zhang beside him.

"Yes." Vice General Zhang cupped his hands towards her and went down to instruct his.

However, within the palace city, Yuwen Di was silently reviewing the imperial reports.

"Your majesty, Imperial Consort Yu ordered someone to deliver this bird's nest. Drink some." Eunuch Ming carefully brought out a cup of bird's nest and said to the emperor with a smile on his face.

The emperor was probably tired. He stretched out his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows, signalling Eunuch Ming to bring the bird's nest in front of him.

"It has already been three days, why is there still no trace of Thirteen?" The emperor slowly lifted the lid of the cup. Suddenly, he thought of Duan Yunfei and he raised his head to ask Eunuch Ming.

"The Eunuch Ming bowed to the Emperor. There hasn't been any news from the Thirteenth Princess yet. "

Before Yuwen Di could say anything, Eunuch Ming hurriedly continued, "However, Your Majesty does not need to be anxious. Our days are numbered and soon, when the princess is settled, she will definitely send a message to you."

"The Emperor sighed and couldn't help but shake his head. It wasn't clear whether he was talking to himself, or talking to the guards at his side." When Thirteen was in the palace, he was always hanging around Zhen's side, so he didn't really feel anything. "Now that she has suddenly left the capital, my heart is truly somewhat empty."

Ever since Duan Yunfei led the troops out, the Emperor had obviously felt less sleep, and spent his days staring in the northwest direction in a daze, probably thinking about the Little Thirteen that was worried about him.

When Eunuch Ming heard the Emperor's words, he also felt a little upset. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, do not worry. There are still so many generals taking care of you. The Emperor shall peacefully wait for the good news of Thirteenth Princess's triumphant return. "

Hearing Eunuch Ming's words, the Emperor's heart was slightly relieved. He did not forget to instruct the Eunuch Ming as well, "We have a secret letter in our hands, send your men to the Northwest military camp quickly, and command the soldiers in the army to protect Thirteen well. If anything happens to Thirteenth Princess, we will punish them severely without holding back."

Eunuch Ming replied as he loosened the muscles and bones in Yuwen Di's body. He then said to him with a smile, "The Emperor's love for Thirteenth Princess is something that other people cannot compare with."

Yuwen Di was a little sleepy as he leaned on the table and dozed off. The figure of a little girl ran through his mind, and sweetly called out 'royal father'.
