Chapter 266: When the enemy comes, we will stop him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth
Just when Su Dingxia and King Huai'an decided to take action against the northern border.
At this time, the Xia Kingdom was outside a pass leading to the northern border.
A carriage, escorted by dozens of people, slowly drove over from a distance.
When the soldiers guarding the pass saw what was happening, they immediately stopped the convoy.
"You guys, stop it!"
"What do you do and where are you from?!"
After stopping the convoy, several soldiers guarding the pass began to question loudly.
Faced with the questioning of several soldiers, the leader of the escort convoy dismounted from his horse.
The leader walked up to the leading officer and took out a purse.
Then, he handed the purse to the officer without saying a word.
He explained to them with a flattering look on his face.
"General, we are coming all the way north from the south of the Yangtze River ."
"The person in the car is my daughter. We are going to the northern border to seek refuge with our relatives."
After listening to the leader's explanation, he shook the purse in his hand again.
After feeling the full weight in the purse, the officer and his subordinates smiled at each other.
"In that case, I won't embarrass you."
"Someone, switch it on and let it go!"
Following the officer's loud shout, the soldiers guarding the gate quickly opened.
After seeing the other party let them go, the leader hurriedly thanked the general.
"Thank you, General. Thank you, General."
Then, the leader quickly turned around and spoke to the convoy.
"Hurry, hurry up, don't delay the generals from their duties!"
At his urging, the convoy slowly moved into the checkpoint.
After a while, we walked out of this checkpoint.
The leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and rode his horse to the carriage.
"My Lord, we are almost reaching the northern border."
"If we can just keep going for another half a day, we'll be completely safe."
Hearing the sound outside the carriage, the people inside the carriage lifted the curtain.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way. This princess didn't expect this."
"My brother and two uncles are so unwilling to accept this."
"In order to find my whereabouts, they even threatened the Xia Kingdom with military force."
As they spoke, the people in the carriage sighed helplessly .
It turned out that the person in the carriage was Princess Cangtong of the Canglang Kingdom!
Even though she escaped to the territory of Xia State, she was not completely safe.
After the last time the army of the Canglang Kingdom approached the border, the brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo reported the matter to Yu Anmin.
In order to prevent the Western Border from falling into war again, Yu Anmin ordered a thorough investigation of the whereabouts of Lord Cangtong.
After hiding for a while, Princess Cangtong finally realized it.
If you want to completely get rid of the danger to your life...
The only way is to find a place where neither Xia Kingdom nor Canglang Kingdom can set foot!
And now, looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, only the northern border under Jiang Chen’s rule is the most suitable.
So, after going to the Jiangnan area and staying there for a while.
Princess Cangtong set out for the northern border with the few dozen Swift Wolf Guards left by her side.
After a long journey of half a month.
Now, they were finally only one step away from the northern border.
"What are you talking about, my Lord? We are your subordinates."
"It's our duty to serve you wholeheartedly."
After hearing what Princess Cangtong said, the deputy commander of the Swift Wolf Guard quickly spoke.
"Eternal Heaven will bless you."
Princess Cangtong was very pleased with the loyalty of these Swift Wolf Guards.
She didn't expect these soldiers who followed her.
Even more trustworthy and reliable than her closest relatives!
Since they were almost reaching their destination, no one dared to delay any longer.
So, under the escort of everyone, the convoy quickly entered the territory of the northern border.
The moment the convoy stepped into the northern border, Princess Cangtong's safety was completely resolved.
However, just as everyone stepped into the northern border.
The whereabouts of their group were also delivered to Jiang Chen by the "Ant Hole".
Looking at the information in his hand, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Military Advisor, it seems to be just as you guessed."
"That Princess Cangtong actually came to our northern border!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Liang on the side couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Haha, my lord, it looks like we're going to have another guest here."
Gongsun Liang said this while looking at Prime Minister Huo standing beside him.
Facing Gongsun Liang's gaze, Prime Minister Huo asked in confusion.
"What's wrong, Master Military Advisor? Is there something wrong?!"
When Gongsun Liang heard Huo Xiang's question, he did not answer him directly.
Instead, after smiling, he pointed to the place of Canglang Country and said.
"General Huo, I'm afraid you'll collide with our guest."
After hearing what Gongsun Liang said, Prime Minister Huo rolled his eyes at him.
"I say, Military Advisor, how come you also have unserious moments..."
Jiang Chen said, looking at Huo Xiang and Gongsun Liang with a helpless look.
"Okay, okay, stop messing around, both of you. Be serious."
"Tell me what you think of this guest from Canglang Country."
Following Jiang Chen's question, the two of them hurriedly began to think about it.
After a while, Gongsun Liang stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, I think the arrival of this guest is very important to us."
"It's a good thing, and a bad thing!"
Hearing Gongsun Liang's words, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to him with interest.
"oh?"
"Military Advisor, what do you mean?"
Facing Jiang Chen's confusion, Gongsun Liang smiled slightly and continued to answer.
"My Lord, let me explain to you."
"This is a good thing. It means that when we send troops to Canglang in the future, we will have a name for sending troops."
"But at the same time, if the news that Princess Cangtong is coming to our northern border leaks out."
"I'm afraid that by then, we will face coercion from the Imperial Capital and the Canglang Nation."
"So, we have to keep this matter hidden."
After listening to Gongsun Liang's explanation, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, once the imperial capital knows about this."
"We will be in a dilemma, after all, there is the new regent."
"But you've always wanted to drag me down with you!"
After listening to the conversation between Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang, Huo Xiang, who was standing by, couldn't help but stand up.
"Then, my lord, why don't we just let this Princess Cangtong leave?"
"No, there is no way you can just let the guests leave."
Jiang Chen looked at Huo Xiang and shook his head helplessly.
Good man, although this opportunity comes with great danger.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, but Jiang Chen still has Gongsun Liang.
At worst, we can just fight back with our own soldiers and block the floods with our own earth!
If you miss this opportunity because you are afraid of danger.
Then Jiang Chen might as well sell roasted sweet potatoes!
"Okay, that's settled, Military Advisor."
"My lord, I am here."
Hearing Jiang Chen calling him, Gongsun Liang quickly responded.
"I'll leave this Princess Cangtong to you to receive."
"As you command, my lord."
