The carriages and horses sparkled, the flags were fluttering, and the knights galloped all the way westward.
Wang Chen looked back at the road he had just walked and saw the imperial capital in the distance that was about to disappear from sight.
I don't know why, maybe he was influenced by Sun Zhengheng, and he also had a bad feeling!
"Lord Wang..."
At this time, a Knight quickly approached Wang Chen and whispered, "Your Highness, please come over."
The name Knight has a clear and sweet voice, and with her fair skin and pretty face, her gender is clear at a glance.
Among the three thousand Imperial Forest Guard escorting the wedding team, there were fifty female Knight, responsible for following the carriage in which Princess Qingyun was riding.
Wang Chen nodded. "I understand."
He picked up the reins and controlled Yellow Dappled Horse to approach the luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses.
This carriage is a royal regulation. Its carriage is very wide, just like a mobile house. It has all kinds of facilities and can easily accommodate a dozen passengers.
As for the passengers, they are naturally Princess Qingyun and the maid accompanying her.
"Master!"
As soon as Wang Chen came closer, he saw Princess Qingyun sticking his head out of the open window. "Can you come up? I have many questions to ask you."
The guards nearby were all watching, pretending not to see or hear.
Wang Chen dumbfounded. "Your Highness, this is not very convenient."
Although he now holds the title of Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince and is the de facto master of Princess Qingyun, getting into the latter's carriage in full view of the public is really not an ethical behavior!
Princess Qingyun "Humph", retracted his head and slammed the window and door.
Obviously telling Wang Chen "I'm angry".
Wang Chen shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
If he were Princess Qingyun, traveling thousands of miles to a strange country to marry a complete stranger, he would not be in a good mood.
Wang Chen widened the distance from the carriage again.
But not long after, the woman Knight just came over again and even presented a food box.
Wang Chen He could tell at a glance that this was the filial piety of his cheap disciple.
There was a hint of warmth in his heart.
The long procession stretched out for several miles on the official road, and when the eastbound business travelers saw it, they all moved to the side of the road in fear, and everyone was respectful.
For safety reasons, the wedding procession did not move very fast, and in the prefectures and counties they passed along the way, local dignitaries came to greet and entertain them, and there were a variety of tributes.
According to this rhythm, Wang Chen probably won't even think about Great Yan's capital in half a year!
And along the way, Princess Qingyun was also honest.
Although she did not invite Wang Chen to the carriage to teach her, she still insisted on cultivate Daoist magic and passed notes to Wang Chen for inquiries when she encountered problems.
Very diligent.
For such a disciple, Wang Chen naturally does not hesitate to teach, which can add a touch of fun to this boring and long journey.
A month later, the marriage team arrived at West Sea Great Grassland.
West Sea Great Grassland is located in West Sea Prefecture. This county is the largest among the many counties in Great Liang, with a very vast area.
But the population of West Sea Prefecture is not very large, and it is mainly concentrated in a few cities.
This means that the team's next journey will be much more difficult, as it will be impossible to stay in the city frequently and receive respect and supplies from the local government.
In addition, there are still great dangers in West Sea Great Grassland.
"Mainly three groups of horse thieves..."
Sun Zhengheng said to Wang Chen, "Especially White Wolf Bandits, he is very strong. The three leaders are all fifth-tier Martial Sect's strength!"
White Wolf Bandits has been running rampant in West Sea Great Grassland for decades. At the beginning, they were just a group of pony thieves, but later their strength continued to expand and they have become a serious problem for West Sea Prefecture.
Especially in recent years, many local herdsmen have joined White Wolf Bandits, causing the latter's power to expand again, which once posed a great threat to the county.
West Sea Prefecture also sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but apart from losing soldiers and generals, wasting money and food, nothing was gained.
The most troublesome thing is that there are dozens of horse thieves, large and small, in the prairie. Most of them are in contact with each other. They will warn each other when they encounter danger, and they may even form alliances!
Wang Chen understood. "Are you worried that these horse thieves will be detrimental to us?"
Sun Zhengheng said so much, it is definitely not because he talks a lot.
"Yeah."
Sun Zhengheng smiled bitterly and pointed at the dozens of cargo carriages in the team, "These things are enough to attract thieves!"
These carriages all carried Princess Qingyun's dowry, including gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, worth at least several million taels, which was a huge fortune.
It is normal to attract the covetousness of horse thieves.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Come on, come on, your three thousand feathers are not vegetarians, right?"
Blood-Clad Guard, Golden Armored Guard and Imperial Forest Guard are collectively called Three Imperial Guards, and they are the guards directly under Great Liang Emperor. The latter are all elites selected from various legions.
And Sanqian Yulin, who was responsible for escorting the marriage team, was the best among the best.
Wang Chen doesn't believe that White Wolf Bandits can compete with this team, even if they add a group of horse thieves.
Horse thieves and bandits can deal with merchant escorts just fine, but when they encounter a real army, their shortcomings will be exposed!
"I once heard a rumor..."
Sun Zhengheng lowered his voice and said, "White Wolf Bandits is related to Great Yan."
Huh?
Wang Chen was slightly startled - this Great Yan is Great Liang's ally!
But when he thought about it in a blink of an eye, he felt that he was naive. There is no real friendship between countries in this country. It is only due to interests.
Great Qi in the north wants to annex Great Liang, but Great Yan has no idea?
Using horse thieves and bandits to bury nails in Great Liang is obviously a very clever method.
If White Wolf Bandits is really related to Great Yan, then their strength needs to be re-evaluated and they cannot be careless.
"Grand Guardian Wang."
Sun Zhengheng said sincerely, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If you are really in danger, I hope you can take His Highness to leave first and leave us alone!"
"Okay."
Wang Chen nodded. "I promise you."
Sun Zhengheng showed a pleased smile, "Thank you!"
Woo~
The sound of a powerful horn came from the front, and the flags leading the way were waved, and the speed of the team suddenly slowed down.
It's getting dark and it's time to set up camp.
This place is out of the way and has no shops. Not even a business traveler has met a single person, so we can only camp tonight.
When night falls, darkness begins to cover the land, and piles of bonfires are set up and lit in the camp.
A group of Imperial Forest Guard gathered around the bonfire, chatting and laughing while enjoying dinner, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Ouch~
Suddenly, a long wolf howl came from afar and reached everyone's ears!
Many Imperial Forest Guard suddenly changed their expressions! ——
The second update is sent.
