Cao Yin frowned slightly, finally raised his hand, waved forward, and signaled the team to start crossing the river.

Han Mo had already urged his horse to move forward, and Jueying passed through the stone bridge like a sharp arrow. In the blink of an eye, she reached the other end of the stone bridge and strangled the horse in front of Qin Si, the commander of Anjun.

Qin Si was riding on the horse and suddenly saw a silver-armored general rushing over. He was shocked. The horse under his seat obviously felt fear of Jue Ying, and neighed uneasyly, and took a few steps back.

Han Mo immediately stared at Qin Si, and saw that the An Jun envoy was only about forty years old, with tender skin and tender flesh. It was obvious that he was a literati who had not undergone military training.

However, the official's face turned a little white, which was a very unnatural whiteness, and his eyes were a little flashing, as if he had something to worry about.

The more than 20 cavalrymen behind Qin Si were all extremely fierce horses, fat and long legs. These cavalrymen were also burly and strong. The armor on their bodies was obviously made of fine iron, which was quite dazzling in the sun.

Han Mo suddenly rushed over from the stone bridge. Qin Si was certainly surprised, but the group of cavalry behind him were instantly focused on Han Mo. The group of people were obviously well-trained soldiers, without any panic, and cold eyes were staring at Han Mo's face.

Han Mo's expression was calm, his eyes were extremely bright, and once it became cold, it was extremely sharp. He stared at Qin Si's face and said calmly: "Please get off the horse!"

Qin Si frowned.

Seeing that the other party did not dismount, Han Mo repeated: "Drop off!" This time, even the word "please" was spared.

Qin Si bowed and said, "I heard that the commander of the Yan State Guard is General Han Mo, and you are Han Mo, right?"

Han Mo did not answer his words, but said lightly: "The princess is going to cross the river. Don't you get off the horse to welcome him?" He smiled coldly: "Hand on the horse, how can I cross the river? I will protect the princess's safety, and also ensure that the princess enjoys all the etiquette she must have in the territory of Qingguo!"

Qin Si opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but he didn't say anything after all. Seeing that Yun Canglan had already rushed over, he finally turned over and got off the horse.

The knights behind them looked at each other and finally turned over and dismounted.

The team finally stepped onto the stone bridge and passed through the stone bridge like a long dragon. More than 100 cavalry led by Xiahou De stayed on the south bank, and all turned over and dismounted. Seeing the marriage team stepping onto the land of Qingguo, they all knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Princess takes care of all the way!"

The voices of hundreds of Northwest athletes were like thunder, seeing off their princesses.

...

After the team crossed the bridge, Yun Canglan had already arrived beside Qin Si, looked at Qin Si and asked, "Mr. Qin, when did General Lian get sick?"

"It's been two days." Qin Si's face looked a little bad, and she was still a strange white: "The doctors in the army have also seen it. It is said that they were overworked and were infected with wind and cold, so they had to rest for a few days. Yesterday I got the news that the Yan State delegation was about to enter the country today. Even the general had to come to greet him in person, but his body was too weak and he was chilling all over. So the official advised him not to come over and let him rest well, and I came to greet him in person."

Yun Canglan frowned, watched the team pass by, looked at Qin Si again, and then said lightly: "Mr. Qin's health doesn't seem to be good? It's not hot this day, but Mr. Qin's forehead is sweating a lot!"

Qin Si was stunned, then laughed dryly, his eyes flashed, he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it on his forehead, and suddenly saw the luxurious carriage passing by not far from the front, and asked, "Mr. Yun, is the princess of Yan State in the car?"

Yun Canglan glanced at Qin Si, but did not say anything, but just shook the reins and followed the team.

Qin Si looked at Yun Canglan, with a resentment flashing in his eyes, but heard a cavalry behind him say in a deep voice: "Master Qin, we should keep up!"

Qin Si looked back at the cavalry, nodded, then turned over and led a group of cavalry to the side of the team.

Xiahou De on the south bank of the stone bridge watched the team slowly walk away, then got up, looked at the team that was leaving for a while, then turned over the horse, turned his head, and led his cavalry back to Jianshui Pass.

The area of ​​the Hanshui Pass in Yan and Qing dynasties is bounded by the Han River. The Han River reaches more than 20 miles south of the Han River is the Hanshui Pass of Yan State, and nearly 50 miles north is the Nanwu Pass of Qing State.

There was a 70-mile unmanned land in the middle.

In fact, this is also due to history. During the Great Qi Dynasty, there was no Jashui Pass. At that time, Jashui Pass was just a small-scale checkpoint.

At that time, Wuping County and Wu County were bounded by the Nanwu Pass of Qing State today. In fact, this unmanned area of ​​70 miles was under the jurisdiction of Wu County during the Great Qi State period.

When King Wu of Yan pacified the six counties in Yan, the third one was Wu County. After taking over Wu County, he considered that if the Qing army left Nanwu Pass to attack Wu County, it would be flat and had no connections to defend, and Wu County would be in danger at that time, so he ordered the construction of the checkpoint based on the original checkpoint.

At that time, the Qing Kingdom was busy pacifying the north and had no time to look east. Instead, the Hanshui Pass was built soon. Although it was not as majestic as it is today, it did build a solid pass. It was precisely because of the order of King Wu of Yan that the attack on Qing Kingdom failed and retreated, and the Qing army was able to withstand the counterattack with the Hanshui Pass.

The Qing State has Nanwu Pass, which is in danger of geographical advantages, so naturally it will not advance the construction of new passes.

First, it is naturally a matter of money. If you push forward dozens of miles to build a new pass, the manpower, material resources and financial resources are not small, but secondly, it is also due to the terrain.

From Shuishi Pass to Nanwu Pass, there are all open lands with a flat and empty river, with no danger to rely on.

Is it to spend a lot of money to build a new line of defense on the empty fields to increase the jurisdiction of dozens of miles, or to rely on the original Nanwu Pass to empty a piece of land, the people of Qing chose the latter.

Therefore, a buffer zone of seventy miles is empty in the middle, with the Shu River as the boundary, divided into two.

The scouts of both sides are active between these seventy miles, and friction often occurs. Once they meet, they usually destroy the scout troops of the other side without hesitation.

The marriage team was moving forward in this seventy-mile blank area. Although there was a team of nearly a thousand people, the team still seemed very small on the vast land.

After crossing the river, I had been traveling for nearly twenty miles. It was noon and the sunshine in the sky was extremely dazzling. It was the end of July and the weather was getting hot. The team was wearing armor and felt the heat.

Anjun envoy Qin Si led more than 20 cavalry to follow the team's flanks. I don't know if it was because he was a little fat and afraid of heat or for some other reason, the Anjun made the adult's forehead sweat out. He rode on the horse, but he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief along the way.

Han Mo turned around and frowned when he saw the An Jun envoy looking unconscious.

Song Shiqing urged him to come immediately and asked Cao Yin: "Marty, there are more than twenty miles left, and it will probably take some time. Should we rest and let the princess and everyone eat something before leaving?"

Cao Yin thought for a while and said, "Send some food to the princess, and the others will rush to Nanwu Pass to rest!"

Song Shiqing nodded and said yes. Just when he was about to go down, he rode a fast horse to Han Mo. The knight was not wearing armor, but was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face. He saw that he was the dark official who came with the team.

Nearly twenty dark officials from the West Flower Hall came with this trip, all of whom were covered with masks.

Everyone can understand that the dark officials are doing dark matters and will never expose their identity, so it is natural to hide their faces with masks.

"Sir, there is something wrong!" The man whispered: "I just discovered that an unknown person appeared on the right wing!"

Han Mo frowned and asked, "What do you think clearly?"

"I just appeared and retreated." The official reported: "But I rode a horse and entered the territory of Qing Kingdom twice. The subordinates were not sure about the first time, but the group of people appeared again just now. The subordinates could see clearly that this time, three of them appeared in the right wing, but they quickly retreated!"

Han Mo looked to the right wing and there was a small slope far away, without any movement.

Today, both sides knew that Yan Gong mainly went from Jianshui Pass to Nanwu Pass. For safety reasons, he was worried that there would be spies and assassins in the business trips, so the levels on both sides were blocked and no one was allowed to leave the pass. This also led to a 70-mile blank area with few people, and only the team of the bride mission team.

Han Mo clenched his fists slightly. He didn't believe that there were a large number of troops ambushing this area. The Yan State's guards had 800 people, and they were all first-class imperial warriors from Yan State. If you want to hurt the princess under the protection of this group of warriors, the enemy would need at least twice the strength to try it.

But who dares to blatantly lead the army here to attack the marriage delegation?

At this moment, Xiao Mu had already galloped over and whispered: "Sir, there is an abnormal movement in the left wing!"

Han Mo smiled coldly and ordered: "Send cavalry scouts to the two wings to explore. I really want to know who has the courage to take action here!"

Although there are countless forces in Yan, Qing and Wei countries that want to destroy this marriage, who dares to ambush here openly? Who can gather troops here?

Xiao Mu was ordering and was about to send a scout to investigate the situation on both sides, but he heard someone shouting: "There is an enemy!"

Everyone had seen that a group of people suddenly appeared on the two wings of the team at the same time. The distance was still far away, but Han Mo could vaguely see that this group of cavalry appeared on the horizon like black ghosts.

Under the sunshine, on the earth slope, a team of cavalry appeared from the right wing. These cavalry were riding black horses, wearing black clothes, and without armor. They were holding big swords in their hands. The sunlight shone on the big swords, shining with a bright light.
