Ji Jie felt like it was like a race at a sports meeting. The difference was that if he lost, he would have to leave one life. He and the soldiers shot at each other while running, and both sides shot a lot of arrows.
, but in this case the accuracy is limited.
There was a fire ahead, which should be where the Zhao border defense battalion was stationed. Ji Jie shouted: "Flag-bearing soldiers, show our flag and run to the front of the team!"
"Yes!" Several flag-bearing soldiers put down their crossbows, showed their Dazhou flags, and ran to the front of the team to identify themselves.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Wei Mou was anxious and kept urging the light cavalry responsible for outflanking to cut off the road. After all, they were illegally crossing the border, and the Zhao border defense battalion could attack them under any circumstances.
The Zhou people were different. The two sides had already exchanged credentials. Princess Zhou was already the nominal crown princess of Zhao and should be protected.
The people in the border guard camp didn't know what was going on. They vaguely saw several groups of people rushing towards here. The ones running at the front seemed to be carrying the banner of Dazhou. The people chasing behind didn't hold the flag, but they could tell from their clothes.
It turned out to be the Wei army.
"Prepare for war!" Zhao Ling, the general of Zhao State, gave the order. Various defensive equipment were carried out by the soldiers one after another and placed in corresponding positions. Archers fired their bows and set arrows, and spearmen guarded each entrance and exit.
Ji Jie raced to the front and shouted towards the border camp: "I am Ji Jie, Lord Zhaowen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am leading a team to escort the princess into Zhao. The situation is urgent. Please open the camp door immediately and let us in!"
Guard Zhao Ling asked calmly: "Who are you chasing after you?"
"Wei's army!" Ji Jie ran to the Juma Formation outside the camp first and gasped: "We have already fought a battle with them and suffered heavy casualties. Please help us, General!"
Zhao Ling frowned and said: "How to prove your identity? What if it is a plot by the Wei people to enter my camp and cooperate with Li Ying Wai to seize my camp!"
This kind of thing happens all the time at the border, so it's normal for Zhao Ling to be worried.
"If the general doesn't believe it, you can send troops to block the pursuers first!" Ji Jie turned around and pointed at the Wei army and said, "You can doubt our identity, but they are wearing Wei army uniforms and galloping around Zhao without any scruples. The general should treat them as
Resist it! Let’s gather on the side first, and after driving away the Wei army, it won’t be too late to prove our identity!”
Zhao Ling did not make a decision immediately.
Ji Jie became anxious and said: "Your border guard camp has thousands of people. Are you still afraid of more than a hundred people like me? Can you afford to take the responsibility if there is a problem with the princess's safety?"
This makes sense. Zhao Ling waved his hand and ordered: "The cavalry battalion will follow me out of the battle!"
Eight hundred cavalrymen filed out and stood between Ji Jie and Xiao Wei Mou. Ji Jie could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"It turns out it's General Xiao. Why did he lead his troops to invade our country?" Zhao Ling asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
From Wei Mou's point of view, Zhao Ling was just a small general. The only people in the Zhao Kingdom that he could admire were the generals Li Mu and Sima Shang. Other than that, they were all little people not worth mentioning.
"I'm chasing a group of robbers who are causing trouble to my country, Wei. They are all heinous people. Please give way, young general!" Xiao Wei Mou didn't take Zhao Ling seriously.
Zhao Ling felt angry in his heart and said forcefully: "General, you are the general of the Wei State, and you are leading the soldiers of the Wei State. You are roaming around in our Zhao State. This is not good, is it?"
"Three Jins are one family. This general is doing harm to the people again. The State of Zhao should cooperate!" Xiao Wei Mou said in an aggressive tone.
Zhao Ling sneered and said: "It turns out that the general thinks so, well, you can do whatever you want! But the ugly words are ahead, I will also take my troops across the border and use the same excuse to visit your country of Wei. What do you think, General?"
Xiao Wei Mou glared at Zhao Ling. He wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect that the young general in front of him was very thoughtful, so he had to pretend to be angry and said: "Okay, I will take people back, but I hope the young general can help me catch him." Those people, Wei's credentials will be delivered to King Zhao soon!"
"Farewell General Xiao!" Zhao Ling couldn't help but show the expression that a winner should have.
Wei Jun left angrily, but Ji Jie successfully passed the identity verification and was invited into the camp by Zhao Ling, who also gave up his tent to Ji Xueling as a resting place.
Without Ji Jian as a good helper, Ji Jie had to do many things by himself. There were only more than a hundred soldiers who had followed him all the way here, including forty-one Zhaocheng soldiers and ninety-four palace guards. Most of the people, including captain Sima Huiyou, were injured.
The next day, Ji Jie took Sima Hui and a convoy of 60 guards and set off early in the morning. The rest stayed at the border to recover and rendezvous when they returned. Zhao Ling personally led a team of 500 infantry guards to protect him. Then we headed to the capital, Handan.
Now that she has entered Zhao and has the protection of the Zhao army, there is no need to worry about her safety. However, Ji Xueling's impatience made Ji Jie confused. In her opinion, after entering the Zhao realm, the time before marrying the prince of Zhao was gradually shortened. Approaching.
With so many Zhao soldiers around, Ji Jie couldn't get in and out of the princess's car at any time like before. The two of them couldn't exchange a few words at all throughout the day. What he was most afraid of was that Ji Xueling was acting like a child, and he couldn't comfort him in time.
Zhongmou City was the capital of the State of Zhao, and later the capital was moved to Handan. Although it has been more than a hundred years since the capital was moved to Handan, the bustling scene of the past can still be seen in Zhongmou City. After the convoy arrived here, Ji Xueling suddenly asked the maid to inform Ji Jie and Zhao Ling respectively. The convoy stayed here for a few days to take a short rest.
According to the usual practice, after a princess from one country arrives in the capital of another country, both parties will discuss the wedding date together. Since the date has not been set yet, Zhao Ling readily agreed, and Ji Jie had no objection.
With Zhao Ling's intervention, Zhongmu City Shou arranged a residence for the princess and the guards. Ji Jie was still responsible for the personal security. After settling the troops, he sneaked into her room in the name of meeting the princess.
It was obvious that Ji Xueling was a little angry, and she deliberately didn't look at him. Ji Jie walked over with a smile, took her little hand, and said, "What's wrong, my little princess?"
"What do you think!" Ji Xueling replied angrily.
Ji Jie sat down unceremoniously, then hugged her reluctantly and said: "You, you can't calm down at all! What can you do when you get to Zhao State? Even if there are flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, I can still I guarantee that you will come out unscathed!"
After hearing this, Ji Xueling's mood improved a little. She asked confusedly: "Brother Jie, is that King Cauldron really that important to you?"
"It's really important!" Ji Jie nodded.
Ji Xueling, like other citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, did not take Wang Ding seriously at all, because the Jiuding of King Yu, which symbolized the royal power, failed to preserve the rights of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone improve the status of the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Speaking of Wang Ding, he suddenly remembered another thing. There are nine unique skills hidden in Jiuding. Among them, "Nuwa Vine", "Tianwu Hook" and "Yao Ji Dagger" are short weapons and hidden weapon skills, which are more suitable for girls.
practise.
"By the way, Ling'er, do you like to use a dagger as a self-defense weapon?" Ji Jie asked.
"Yes!" Ji Xueling's eyes couldn't help but cast her eyes on the dagger placed on the desk.
"That's great!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I have three martial arts secret books here, namely the whip method, the hook method and the dagger method. Which one do you want?"
"Of course it's a dagger!" Ji Xueling said without thinking, "I've never used a whip, and I don't like Wu Gou!"
"Haha, I knew you would choose this way!"
"Bring it here!"
"What to take?"
"Martial arts secrets, you told me to choose them!"
Ji Jie was stunned. This secret book did exist, but it was just engraved on the king tripod. She was too busy a while ago and didn't have time to copy it down. Now this girl opens her mouth to ask for it. If she doesn't give it, won't she slap herself in the face?
How to give it?
Could it be that he told her that he didn't have it with him, and then found a place where no one was around, released Wang Ding, copied it, and lied about finding it in his luggage? She would probably say that he would go look for it with him, which would make it even more troublesome.
"Give it to me quickly!" Ji Xueling couldn't wait any longer.
No matter what, I have long planned to turn her into my woman anyway, so I might as well tell her the secret of Xumijie. Even if I don’t tell her now, I will tell her sooner or later!
Ji Jie looked up at the door and window to make sure no one was eavesdropping or peeking outside, and then said with a mysterious face: "Let me show you something!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a royal cauldron appeared in front of Ji Xueling out of thin air. She was startled, thinking she was dazzled. She blinked several times in a row, and her slightly opened mouth proved the degree of surprise in her heart.
"Haha, you didn't see it clearly, did you? You have to see it clearly this time!" Ji Jie smiled and just finished speaking when another king tripod appeared again for no reason. If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would have thought that these two things were originally there.
it's here.
"You...how did you do it?" Ji Xueling asked.
Ji Jie said mysteriously: "I will tell you the day you truly become my woman. Now you just need to know that I have such ability! To tell you the truth, there was a fire in the Treasury last time
and the six royal tripods were stolen, all by me. Because the nine royal tripods are engraved with the secrets of nine magical powers, you must find the three that were snatched away by the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei. The "Yao Ji Dagger" is suitable for your practice.
The secret is engraved on the one on the left!"
Ji Xueling's eyes widened and she couldn't see the slightest clue. She had seen the nine king cauldrons at least a hundred times, but she had never heard of such a thing.
"Don't read, you can't understand. I'm the only one in the world who can interpret it!" Ji Jie used both hands hard, and Ji Xueling naturally sat on his lap, and then whispered in her ear: "I'll read it to
Listen, you must memorize it by heart and practice it diligently. This secret manual is divided into six styles and thirty-six moves. Each move counts for life and can be used to attack or defend from a distance."
"I'll learn!" Ji Xueling's tone was filled with obvious excitement.
