Chapter 31

In the vast desert, a wood maple in black is riding on the horse, overlooking the boundless yellow sand in front of him.

"Childe, it's been several hours now. They still haven't heard anything. Do we need to wait?"

A subordinate carefully looked at the master on the horse's back, drove the horse forward and took a few steps, and suggested.

Maple's eyes did not change. He looked back at the subordinates behind him, and his eyebrows were tighter.

Li sang and his family have been out for several hours, but they haven't seen anyone yet. Something must have gone wrong.

"Wait, even if Li sang and they can't come back, Zhang Luan must have the ability to come back."

"Yes." seeing the master's opinion, the subordinates dare not bite again. They step back and continue to stare at the desert in front of them.

"Have you arranged everything about sealing the border of the country?" for a long time, maple looked slightly sideways and asked.

"Don't worry, childe. Everything is done according to the childe's plan. Their actions are faster than we expected." the subordinate's tone is very excited.

Faster than expected? These people have never left the desert. When did they get the news and act so quickly.

Maple was suspicious, but did not say, "that's good."

The subordinates behind him had not seen anyone for a long time before they met. They turned over and dismounted. Their ears were close to the ground and listened for a moment: "childe, someone is coming."

When they heard the speech, their hearts brightened. Soon, they saw a team galloping from far to near.

"General Zhang is back." when the crowd approached, they quickly shouted.

Mufeng narrowed his eyes and looked over there. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Luan raising his hand, removing the veil from his face and galloping here.

Four eyes are opposite. Zhang Luan doesn't open his eyes slightly. Mufeng has guessed a few points.

"Report to the childe, Li sang, they are exactly what the childe expected. The whole army has been destroyed in front. Subordinates, subordinates have buried them on the spot."

Although people had expected this result, they could not help but tremble when they heard it with their own ears.

"These fools must have gone out without orders. They really want to die!"

Remembering the tragedy of the people, Zhang Luan pursed his lips and couldn't bear to tell the details at that time.

There was also a silence.

Mufeng looked at Zhang Luan's face: "you have checked their bodies, but you can see who the other party is?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhang Luan hesitated for a moment and said, "it seems that he has fought with an expert. At present, among the people passing by, it may be Cheng Yuan or a stranger."

"Fool, it seems that they are not only overestimating themselves, but also stupid. Whether Chengyuan or Fengmo, they are all cunning. This time, we can't hide our plan."

Zhang Luan agreed and nodded: "well... In that case, are we going to cloud country together now?"

"Naturally, I want to go. It's a good play ready-made in the cloud country. It's a pity to miss it." wood Maple said cruelly.

……

When they returned to the motorcade, the crowd who stood in place saw that although several people were dusty, fortunately, Yun Xueyao was safe and sound, and they were all relieved.

Feng Mo looked worried and went to Yun Xueyao: "this time, the princess was frightened. In the future, I will be more careful and won't let others have an opportunity."

"Thank you, your highness." Yun Xueyao smiled at him lightly.

Seeing Feng Mo's meaning, Cheng Yuan came up and smiled at Yun Xueyao. "Your Highness King Xiang is right. The princess really doesn't have to worry. No matter where the princess is, Cheng Yuan will protect the princess. The king is responsible for the safety of Princess Yu. Your highness King Xiang still cares less."

Cheng Yuan's light words really poked the pain of Fengmo. Fengmo changed his face, clenched his fist hard, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Your Highness King Yu, don't be too confident. Your Highness has forgotten our purpose of going to the cloud country. It's unknown whether the princess can become Princess Yu."

"Your Highness King Xiang reminded me, but I have great confidence in myself!" Cheng Yuan's face remained unchanged, but his tone was unwilling to show weakness.

Xie Yao, who was standing next to Feng Mo, saw that Feng Mo was dark and heavy, and arched his hands at them:

"Your Highness, sand bandits come and go here frequently. Since the princess is all right now, it's late now. For the safety of the princess, we'd better hurry as soon as possible."

"Go." Feng Mo snorted coldly, turned his face and nodded slightly to Yun Xueyao. Then he turned over and got on the horse. He followed Yun Xueyao's side and rear not far or near. The difference between them was only the distance of two horses.

Yun Xueyao glanced sideways in his direction. Feng Mo was thinking about it, so she took back her eyes and continued on her way.

On this road, crossing the vast desert, is it too hasty to choose this road to cloud country.

In the past, I felt at ease when I returned all the way from the waterway, but this time, I just got out of the land boundary of the feudal state, and I encountered the plan of sand bandits to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Is it because I am too worried about Yun Xueyao.

Cheng Yuan took a panoramic view of the two people who were speechless and on their way. He seemed to be in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Xie Yao looked at the master carefully: "Your Highness, I just received the news from the frontier. It is said that in recent days, the barbarian forces nearby are very rampant and have begun to test attacks and rob the local people."

"With their clowns, I had expected that. With the efforts of these days, I expected that General Li would still be able to hold on." Feng Mo despised it.

"Your Highness's deployment is naturally trustworthy. However, according to the news from General Li, the barbarians have invested a lot more troops and a lot faster than we expected before. Your subordinates are worried that someone is manipulating the barbarian tribe behind it." Xie Yao is already worried about this.

After hearing what he said, Feng Mo glanced at him: "you mean that someone spread the news that the king was not in the army, or that it had been spread out in advance before the king left."

Xie Yao nodded without obscurity, and glanced warily at Cheng Yuan and Lord Xiao's servant not far away: "in addition, my subordinates can't think of any other explanation. After all, if I can transfer your highness this time, I will take the lead in the cloud country."

"What you said is reasonable. Cheng Yuan has always been thoughtful, which is a good idea!" Feng Mo thought for a moment, snorted coldly in his nose, and still drove his horse forward slowly.

Seeing that he didn't say much about it, he didn't seem to think the situation was serious.

He paused and then said, "Your Highness, your subordinates are worried about this matter. If it makes too much trouble and startles the emperor, your highness needs that idea. General Li's transmission is also what he means."

Fengmo doesn't know how to make a big deal of the fief. The Emperor may order him to turn around and rush back to the border in order to ensure the safety of the border. At that time, his previous achievements will be wasted.

"If there is so much noise in the border area, the emperor will know sooner or later. In that case, we might as well send the news back to the imperial court and ask the emperor to make a decision." Feng Mo sneered and decided to go.

As soon as he said this, Xie Yao was immediately worried: "Your Highness, do you know that once this matter reaches the emperor's ears, his Highness the prince and his highness King Yi will scramble to plan on this matter, especially the Duke of Qi. I'm afraid he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Once they intervene in the border area, we will be held in their hands. If we successfully fight against the people of the barbarian tribe, we will be defeated If their credit fails, they will certainly put all the responsibility on your highness. "

"Xie Yao, though you have been following me all the time, and less on the court, you should understand that although they are in the state, they are all eyes, and they may know more about them."

Xie Yao was speechless when he heard the speech.

Feng Mo then said, "in this matter, I expect that the prince can't match King Yi in terms of the power of the prince and King Yi's family. Therefore, we need to help the prince so that they can be evenly matched."

"Your Highness means..."
