Chapter 163 Bitter Sweet Half

Chapter 163 Bitter Sweet Half

The white mist curled up in her breath and blurred her hot eyes, and only the sound of the uniform march of the army was left in her ears.

She adjusted her breathing, looked ahead, clenched her fists tightly, her chest felt as if it was burning.

Who has never been seriously injured, grandfather or father, which one is as delicate as her? !

Did they teach her all the skills to make her feel sorry for herself? When I was young, I learned martial arts and suffered all kinds of hardships. After so many years of neglect, I want to pick up my martial arts again. Is it possible to come back if I think about it?

The sky is fair, and life is half sweet and bitter.

All these sufferings are caused by her over the years, and she has to make up for it before she can get back the martial arts that belonged to her, which is what she deserves.

When Xiao Ruohai quickly caught up with the marching team, he saw that Bai Qingyan had jumped off the horse without taking the carriage, and hurried to Bai Qingyan's side and said, "Young master, the subordinates failed to pick up the fourth son. The fourth master refused to leave with his subordinates." , claiming that he doesn’t know his subordinates. That Mr. Xiao said...he is also going south on this trip, and the fourth son is the son’s younger brother, and he will take good care of him. If the son is really worried, he can pick him up in person. ...He believed that I was the son of the son, so he could return the fourth son."

The stone slipped under Bai Qingyan's feet, and her stiff figure almost fell, but fortunately Xiao Ruohai held her up: "Young master!"

If her footsteps stop, the pace of the team behind her will inevitably follow. She is not a boudoir daughter with no experience in marching, so she immediately straightened her waist with Xiao Ruohai's strength, and walked forward quickly: "Got it!"

She regained her breath and pace, thinking about Xiao Rongyan's intentions.

Let her pick someone up in person?

Bai Qingyan sneered in her heart, she was going to leave the marching team to pick up people, Bide explained the reason to the prince.

Xiao Rongyan was afraid that he had a plan to go with the crown prince but was afraid of being deliberate, so he wanted to use her mouth to spread the word...let the crown prince invite him.

After all, as a prince, the crown prince is used to enjoying himself in the bustling metropolis, so the boring journey in the carriage would not be so difficult if he was accompanied by a confidant who could talk about everything.

Xiao Rongyan understands the habits and demeanor of princes and nobles.

She couldn't help but think back to the two days when she was febrile and lethargic, during which the prince had a secret conversation with his grandmother for half an hour, and then she thought that before she left, her grandmother almost made it clear that she must be under the eyes of His Highness, not to leave His Highness' side. .

She thought that it should be the prince who promised her grandmother that she would save her life as long as she did not disagree with him during this trip, and did not leave his sight to do things that would hinder the royal family.

Xiao Ruohai didn't persuade Bai Qingyan to go back to the carriage to rest. He knew Bai Qingyan's nature well, and it was useless to persuade him, so he simply led the horse beside Bai Qingyan to accompany him all the way.

When it was dark, the army finally arrived at Qu Feng.

Bai Qingyan also almost lost her strength. She sat in the barracks, untied the iron sandbag wrapped around her body with trembling hands, and the sandbag could already drip water.

When sitting in meditation, sweating is more than during the march.

Xiao Ruohai ordered someone to bring water for Bai Qingyan and stand guard at the door, so that Bai Qingyan could take a good bath to relieve fatigue.

The prince looked at the little eunuch who was applying medicine to his feet under the lamp, and asked with a frown, "Miss Bai, did you really walk away all day?"

Today he only walked a few miles, but his feet were blistered and he couldn't go any further. This Bai Qingyan, a girl, actually walked with the army for a day? !

The prince's personal eunuch Quan Yu put on the socks for the prince, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising, the eldest daughter of the Bai family must be used to going out with the Duke since she was a child. Own!"

"You can't say that. She has been ill for these years, and her body is not as good as it used to be..." The prince looked at the flickering candle, feeling quite reconciled in his heart. He couldn't even compare to a woman?

"His Royal Highness is precious in gold and jade, but you must not lower your status to compare with those who are hardworking." Quan Yu cleaned up and gave the prince a bowl of bird's nest at just the right temperature, "Your Highness, use the bird's nest and rest early! One has to hurry!"

When the prince ate the bird's nest porridge, Quan Yu had already ordered someone to light the incense to help sleep and make the bed.

After the crown prince rinsed his mouth, he helped the crown prince onto the bed, with reverence in his eyes: "Your highness has worked so hard for the country and the people, and the common people will always remember your kindness. When the Southern Xinjiang victory comes back, your highness will be even more popular." see."

"Stop flattering!" The prince said so, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The army will start at the end of Maoshi.

Bai Qingyan came back from the martial arts field after the daily training. After changing clothes and washing up, he went to see the prince at Maoshi and told the prince about Bai Jinzhi.

"Xiao Si was reckless and afraid of being sent back to the capital, so he lied that he didn't know the guards by his side. Mr. Xiao didn't dare to take Xiao Si away rashly, so I would like to ask His Highness's father-in-law to take Xiao Si from Mr. Xiao. Come on."

Saying that, Bai Qingyan bowed his head in Quan Yu's direction to salute, without the lofty attitude of a contemptuous eunuch from a noble family.

Quan Yu was flattered and quickly returned the gift.

Bai Qingyan was dressed in men's clothing, with a thin but tall figure, a heroic and masculine posture, and there was no girlishness in his words, but people couldn't tell the male and female, but he was a young man who was more beautiful than his daughter's family.

"That's right, Rong Yan has something to go to Pingyang City before returning to the country, and go with us!" The prince suddenly smiled and turned to look at Quan Yu, "You go to the inn to pick up the fourth girl, and then ask Rong Yan... can you If you are willing to go with the army, go back quickly and don't delay the time for departure."

Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and said nothing, His Royal Highness must have been quite bored sitting in the car, but he was so happy to hear that Xiao Rongyan was going the same way.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Bai Da... Don't worry, my lord, I will not waste time!" Quan Yu took the order, saluted His Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Qing, and hurried out.

The people around Bai Qingyan went there twice but did not bring them back. The servants around His Royal Highness had only been gone for more than half an hour. Before the army got ready and set off, Xiao Rongyan and his group arrived together with Bai Jinzhi.

Standing behind the prince, Bai Qingyan saw Xiao Rongyan wearing a fox fur cloak riding a horse in the early morning light. Behind him was a team of more than twenty guards with knives. The scene was very impressive.

The extremely refined and gentle man dismounted calmly, and the early morning light behind him covered his whole body with a golden layer.

He saluted the prince from afar, with a faint smile on his lips, and his gestures were full of elegance and poetry.

Bai Jinzhi, who was dressed in men's clothing, followed Xiao Rongyan and followed Xiao Rongyan to salute the prince, then quickly ran towards Bai Qingyan. She ran up to Bai Qingyan and timidly looked at her elder sister, and stood obediently in Bai Qingyan's direction. By his side, he lowered his head and pulled the hem of the clothes with his fingers.

"Rong Yan, don't ride a horse! You are riding in the carriage with Gu, and Gu also has someone to talk to!" The crown prince called him with a smile.

Xiao Rongyan: Wife, I'm here to find you! we go together...
