Chapter 234 The feeling of revisiting the old place
Si Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Your Highness, do you like this feeling?"
"I like it." Yun Zishu nodded, her pupils seemed to be filled with scattered light, "Unfettered and free, as if breaking free from a prison and flying in the vast sky. It makes people feel comfortable."
The clatter of horse hooves was particularly clear in the quiet morning, echoing with a touch of loneliness. However, the broad shoulders and strong chest of the man behind him gave people a sense of security, brushing away this loneliness and making people feel at ease.
"Dongyou is the most powerful cavalry country in the world. It raises the most sophisticated war horses in the world. There is a vast horse farm in Mobei, like a prairie." Sicang's deep voice rang in his ears, "Wait until we arrive in Dongyou
, after completing the wedding ceremony, looking for a suitable opportunity, I will take Your Highness to live in Mobei for a while. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a broad view. You can ride horses and ride to your heart's content. You can also climb the high mountains of Mobei and enjoy the view.
vision.”
Yun Zishu nodded: "Okay."
The journey of two people is really fast. Although they cannot travel a thousand miles a day, they can travel more than a hundred miles a day easily. They don't need to be slowed down by carriages and huge teams, and they don't need to face sudden unexpected things.
Go on the roadside to experience the local customs and customs of various places, and see the cultural scenery that is different from the Imperial Capital.
On such a journey, neither the man nor the horse will be too tired.
It took them nine days to arrive at Beiwang Valley on the Dayong border, and after crossing the border, they went directly to Changyan, the city of Dongyoubian. Yun Zishu watched with her own eyes as Sicang finished speaking to the general stationed in Changyan.
The general actually respectfully sent someone to escort them into the city.
"Is it true that there are 150,000 new troops and horses at the border?" Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at Sicang, "I think the security is not that tight."
Although the border covers a very long area from south to north and cannot be seen at a glance, so it is impossible to know exactly the number of soldiers and horses, but one can still tell whether the border cities are well guarded or not.
"When the truth is false, the false is also true, and when the false is true, the true is also false." Sicang smiled, "A powerful general will never let others find out the military defense layout and true strength easily."
Yun Zishu said nothing.
"Let's rest for a few days after entering the city," Sicang said, "and take a good look at the customs and customs of Dongyou."
Not only did she get a taste of the local customs, but after she settled in, Yun Zishu discovered that Sicang was starting to get busy. Although he had been staying with her and almost never left, flying pigeons sent letters every day, delivering pieces of information.
passed it to him.
"It will take at least half a month for the wedding team to arrive." Sicang bought some clothes and shoes for Yun Zishu. "I feel sorry for Your Highness for now. When we get to Dongyou, I will have someone make some clothes for Your Highness."
Yun Zishu didn't feel aggrieved, but she probably felt a little different after arriving in the realm of Dongyou.
She was suddenly curious: "Sicang, after returning to Dongyou, you want to restore the royal surname. What should your name be? Dongling Cang?"
Sicang didn't seem to care about this and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter what I call you. Your Highness just needs to know who I am."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows.
Si Cang seemed to suddenly have something on his mind and asked hesitantly: "Does Your Highness feel anything special?"
Special feeling?
Yun Zishu was surprised: "What does it feel like?"
Sicang was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Sicang." Yun Zishu frowned slightly, "I don't like this sense of pretentiousness."
"There is no such thing as a humble job——"
"I know you haven't, but since I have doubts in my heart, I can't help but want to know the answer."
Si Cang thought for a while, "Every time I come to Dongyou, I will have an inexplicable familiar feeling. It's not because I have been here before and seen the same scenery, but it is an indescribable feeling... like revisiting the old place."
Feel."
Yun Zishu felt a strange feeling in her heart. She looked at Si Cang, with a hint of probing in her eyes. For the first time, she wondered if Si Cang had hidden something from her again - although the things Si Cang had hidden from her before were later revealed.
Yun Zishu took the initiative to tell her, but Yun Zishu didn't care.
But from Dayong to Dongyou, judging from Sicang's childhood experiences with her, and Sicang's overly paranoid and loyal attitude toward her, Yun Zishu felt that some things really couldn't be explained by common sense.
They had a close friendship when they were young, and it was inappropriate to say that they were childhood sweethearts. After all, such a situation was difficult for them. The training in the Shadow Pavilion was too hard, ruthless and cold-blooded. Si Cang grew up in that environment.
What I feel is always bloody and cruel.
A little care and warmth are precious to him, so he is loyal to her, and even has a love affair with her, which Yun Zishu can understand.
Sicang has strong martial arts skills. He has been deeply in love with her for a long time. He knew that she was in a bad situation in Dayong, so he planned in advance to seize the power of the Shadow Pavilion, just to spare no effort to protect her and prevent anyone from harming her. Yunzi
Shu thinks it can be explained.
After all, the courtiers of Dayong all know how terrifying the Shadow Pavilion is, and Sicang, as the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, is even more terrifying. Moreover, the Shadow Pavilion has its own privileges, and everything can be done more conveniently than ordinary people.
However, there are many things that cannot be done if you want to. Dayong and Dongyou are two countries, and traveling back and forth is not that convenient. Moreover, it is necessary to avoid the emperor's suspicion.
The leader of the Shadow Pavilion has strong martial arts skills, but he cannot fly to the sky or escape from the earth. He is omnipotent. There are many things that the Shadow Pavilion needs to learn, and it does not include the emperor's mind, bargaining chips, and military strategies. The prerequisite for ensuring the absolute loyalty of the Shadow Pavilion is obliteration.
Their emotions and self-thoughts.
Under this situation, even if Sicang was an exception, Yun Zishu still couldn't imagine how he managed to plan a plan all the way in another country, not only hiding it from the royal families of the two countries, but also making all the young masters of this country know about it.
Does he obey his orders?
Questions that Yun Zishu had ignored before now came to mind and began to slowly ferment in her heart. However, under these questions, the only thing she could be sure of was that she would not become suspicious or wary of Sicang because of this.
Whether it was due to emotion or intuition, Yun Zishu firmly believed that even if Sicang had something to hide from her, he would never do so with any malice or calculation.
In the next few days, Sicang took Yun Zishu to visit the market every day to appreciate the different customs of the border city. When he didn't want to go out, he would take a walk in the garden of the other courtyard and drink tea, which was leisurely and comfortable.
The climate is getting warmer day by day. From February to March, the peach blossoms in the yard are in full swing and beautiful.
The wedding team finally crossed the border.
Yun Zishu had eaten well, drank well and had a good rest these past two days, and her complexion was very good, radiant, and beautiful. However, the other four ladies had a long journey, and their faces were tired and haggard. They were almost completely different from each other when they followed Dayong.
.
It was also this courtyard where they stayed and settled down. Yun Zishu stood on the high attic and looked at the tired faces of the women who walked into the courtyard. Wu Jingyi even had to rely on the help of the maid to walk steadily, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
: "They didn't get much rest along the way?"
"The journey is urgent and the time for rest is short." Sicang stood beside her and couldn't help but hold her hand. "The fatigue of traveling and riding is already tiring. Their bodies are fragile and it's normal for them to be unable to bear it."
