Six days later, the atmosphere in the royal city did not change because of Princess Xue Ling's distant marriage. Debtors still gathered 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 the 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 attributes.
Other places can surpass the Zhaocheng Guards.
There are five carriages, the one in the middle is Ji Xueling's car, the first two carriages are filled with dowries that look glamorous but are extremely old in reality, and they all come from the warehouse that Ji Jian took care of before. Most of them are leftovers from a hundred years ago. The two carriages in the back are filled with dowry items.
It's a month's supply of food and grass for the maids who were married.
King Zhou Nan was really not an ordinary stingy person. Ji Jie brought all his own food and supplies for his three hundred people. What kind of job was this? Not only was he not paid, but he also had to spend his own money on food and drink.
If it weren't for Ji Xueling and the royal tripod snatched away by Zhao Guo, Ji Jie would not have agreed to this thankless job. Two days ago, he personally escorted Ji Xueling back to the royal city. I don't know how much he said.
Only if he said good things would this girl be willing to go to Zhao country with him.
Ji Xueling was very surprised at Ji Jie's recovery speed. The shallower wounds healed in two days, and the deeper wounds were completely healed on the fifth day. For others, it would have taken at least half a month, and it may not have healed like this.
completely.
Ji Jie knew that this was the benefit that "Yu Wang Jue" had brought to him. He only had to calm down and do the daily rotation, and when the air flow passed through the injured area, it would quickly repair it until a less obvious scar was formed.
"Captain Sima, please lead the way!" Ji Jie's tone was full of disdain. He really didn't have a good impression of Sima Hui.
Sima Hui's face turned ugly and said: "Zhao Wenjun, what I am leading is the palace guard. Is it overkill if I am only responsible for leading the way? I suggest that your people spread out in front and back, and my people protect the princess's carriage!"
"You're not awake, are you?" Ji Jie glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said, "I am the general who is getting married, and you are the deputy general, so I can only obey orders. Where do you have the right to give orders? Just
Because you are leading the palace guards, walking in the front can show the national prestige of my great Zhou Dynasty and the pomp of the emperor. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!"
Unless Ji Jie is kicked in the head by a donkey, even if he is beaten to death, he will not hand over Ji Xueling's carriage to Sima Hui for protection. Then what will I do as a general? Even if he agrees, I'm afraid Ji Xueling won't agree either.
A large group of people set off in the direction of Zhao State. This journey had to pass through Wei State to reach Handan City. The journey was nearly 800 miles. If they walked 30 miles every day, they could easily reach Handan City in a month.
Sima Hui's men walked out a few hundred meters, and Ji Jie ordered the cavalry to start marching. Sixty light cavalry were at the front, followed by forty heavy armored infantry, followed by five carriages, and forty were responsible for protecting them.
The agile light infantry, the assassination squad of the Zhaocheng Guards, followed by forty archers and twenty light cavalry, followed by Ji Jie riding his horse beside the princess' car.
Ji Jian was responsible for arranging the formation. After doing this, he rushed up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your formation is awesome. I just don't understand. Why does it look like you are guarding against Sima Hui in front?
"
"Not bad, you can see it all!" Ji Jie said meaningfully: "Do you still remember that I asked you to send people to spy on intelligence a few days ago?"
"Remember!" Ji Jian nodded. He sent the people out, but when they came back, they reported directly to Ji Jie, so he had no idea what kind of information he got.
"I asked them to keep an eye on Prince Ji Jia!" Ji Jie lowered his voice and said, "My cousin has always advocated marrying the princess to Qi State, but in the end he failed to do so. He is a small-minded guy and must not be reconciled to such a result, so
Have to guard against it!"
"No way!" Ji Jian pursed his lips toward the carriage and said, "That's his sister in there, so she can't be up to any dirty tricks, right?"
Ji Jie smiled and didn't answer. If Ji Jia really didn't want to play dirty tricks, then why did he have to ask Sima Hui to be 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 get on the carriage to discuss matters!" a maid sitting outside the carriage shouted.
Is this girl going to cause trouble again? If Ji Jie hadn't been recovering from her injuries in the past few days, she would have tortured her to death. Ji Xueling, who seemed to be gentle and quiet, didn't know where she learned the tricks. They should all be
The maid taught her this.
Ji Jian said in a very ambiguous tone: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself, sir!" Ji Jie cursed with a smile, jumped directly onto the carriage from horseback, opened the door curtain and got in.
"Meet Princess!"
"Jun Zhaowen, no courtesy, please sit down! It's none of your business, you can go out!"
After the two maids were kicked out, Ji Xueling changed her serious demeanor before, reached out and grabbed Ji Jie's ear and said: "I'm almost bored to death. You don't even come in to talk to me, and I have to call you!"
"It hurts..." Ji Jie pretended to be in pain and said with a smile: "We have just set off for a while, and I can't wait to get into your car. People will misunderstand me!"
"Let them misunderstand, I am already yours anyway!" Ji Xueling fell into Ji Jie's arms, gasping for breath and said: "You have to be responsible for me, otherwise I will die in front of you!"
Auntie, when did you become mine? I, Ji Jie, swear to God, I have never done anything to you. Although I have hugged and hugged you many times, you always hugged me first.
, as a normal man, how could I not be moved by it?
There were several times when Ji Jie almost lost control and was about to "get to the point", but Ji Xueling gave up and got out in time every time, causing his orgasm to rise but he could only hold it in.
"Ling'er, how many times have I told you, 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,
As long as you show it a little bit, she can guess what you are thinking.
"I believe it!" Ji Xueling said sweetly: "What happened last time can completely prove what you said!"
Qingxin Mantra, Qingxin Mantra, Ji Jie silently recited it over and over again to calm the desire that was about to move.
After walking a few dozen miles to the east, we have already entered the territory of the Kingdom of Wei. From this, we can see how limited the land in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty is. In front of it is a towering pass - the Tuolong Pass of the Kingdom of Wei.
This place is called Tuolong Ridge. The Wei State built a pass on this favorable terrain to resist Qin's attacks. However, the Qin army has never chosen to invade from here for more than a hundred years, and the importance of Tuolong Pass has never been known.
be manifested.
There were more than a dozen yawning soldiers standing on the tall city gate. When they heard the sound of horse hooves below, Ji Jie was already standing at the gate with a group of light cavalry. If this was really an invasion by the Qin army, they would probably
If it can't hold on for an hour or three, this majestic pass will have to change hands.
"This is General Zhaowen Ji Jie, who has been ordered by the emperor to send the princess to Zhao!" Ji Jian shouted upward: "Please open the city gate and let us pass!"
Soon a man wearing a garrison uniform appeared above, glanced at Ji Jie below and the cavalry behind him, and said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry that I can't obey the order. I just received the military order from the King of Wei yesterday. Recently, Qin
The military deployment is abnormal. In order to ensure the safety of Tuolong Pass, the pass will be closed from now on, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"What, seal the border?" Ji Jian said angrily: "Why didn't it seal it earlier and later, but it happened to be sealed today? Didn't you, King Wei, receive the news that the emperor had to pass through Wei State to marry his daughter?"
"Then I don't know. I only know that I will do whatever King Wei says!" The guard spat and said, "If you want to pass through here, there is no way! Unless you can conquer this pass, but it's up to you.
These three hundred people are probably not enough!"
Ji Jian was about to get angry, but Ji Jie stopped him, shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly, the situation is not good for me!"
"Should we go back the way we came?" Ji Jian was very unwilling.
"I think it's better to go back and let the emperor send envoys to negotiate with the King of Wei and come back after obtaining the customs clearance documents!" Sima Hui said: "Last time, I simply informed the King of Wei. I guess he forgot about it.
Got it!"
This sounds reasonable. Ji Jie looked at the sun that was about to set and said helplessly: "We can't go back today. Let's camp here and rest for one night. We will return to the royal city tomorrow!"
After saying that, he took Ji Jian to find Ji Xueling. Sima Hui winked at the top of the city. The guard immediately responded and also winked at him.
The road was blocked, and the happiest person was Ji Xueling, as happy as a little bird. Looking at Ji Jie again, he sighed endlessly, looking up from time to time to look at the pass that was more than ten feet high, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Burying the stove, eating, 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?"
"Yeah! Sima Hui and his men all slept like dead pigs!" Ji Jian replied in a low voice: "Your medicine really works, and no one feels that the soup tastes wrong!"
Ji Jie arranged for Ji Jian to add a little sweat medicine to Sima Hui's dinner. After they finished eating, they quickly felt very sleepy. They thought they were too tired from walking for a day, so they all fell asleep in the tent.
"Okay, start taking action!" Ji Jie gave the 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 had not noticed them, one of them pulled out two daggers, inserted them into the gaps between the city bricks, and climbed up using his hands.
