Zhu Song looked at the two elders.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The father-in-law shook his head repeatedly: "It's not hard. If it weren't for Your Highness, your mother-in-law and I would still be in the capital, living in constant fear. Now it would be fine."

"By the way, it's already deep winter. When those Oara people on the grassland have no food in winter, will they come to Liaodong and rob our Ming border people? If so, let's act separately."

"Act separately?" Zhu Song asked puzzledly.

Feng Cheng nodded: "Yes, the top priority now is for His Highness to return to Liaodong as soon as possible. When His Highness returns to Liaodong, he can pick up all the affairs of the Han Palace as soon as possible."

"His Royal Highness has worked so hard in Liaodong. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was used as a wedding dress for someone else or for someone from the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Besides, we won't be in any danger along the way. Along the way, we will pass through the territories of several vassal kings, including King Daning, King Shen, and King Liao, and then to His Highness's vassal territory. Almost every road on this road is It is connected to the territory of each feudal lord, so nothing major will happen."

Zhu Song refused without thinking: "No, no, absolutely not. If we act separately, I can't return to Kaiyuan alone. But if I leave, the people of this guard will also be taken away." Half, we now only have more than 5,000 soldiers, and more than 5,000 is still relatively small. If we continue to separate like this, then each person will be able to bring less than 3,000 soldiers."

"So we can't separate under any circumstances. As for Kaiyuan, although I still have my foundation and my hard work, there is no need to worry. I have two capable men there, one of whom is a scholar and the other Wu, I will definitely be able to protect you."

Feng Cheng actually wanted to act separately. Firstly, he saw that his son-in-law was really anxious to return to Kaiyuan. Secondly, he also wanted to show off his abilities in front of his son-in-law.

After all, he was transferred to Prince Han's palace as an official, so he had to show his ability to lead the army in front of his son-in-law to reassure him.

It can be seen that the son-in-law is not willing now, and Feng Cheng has no other ideas in his heart. The son-in-law is not willing to leave first, which means that the son-in-law is good to his daughter, and he and his wife are taking advantage of the son-in-law.

"In that case, I will obey His Highness's orders in all matters!"

Zhu Song originally wanted to say that his father-in-law didn't need to be so polite, but seeing how serious his father-in-law was, Zhu Song had no choice but to act like a prince.

"good!"

Zhu Song left his father-in-law and mother-in-law's place and returned to his room. The princess was already lying on the bed. Unfortunately, the princess couldn't help but vomited all the way like her mother-in-law, but her reaction to the acclimatization was much better than that of her mother-in-law.

At first, Zhu Song thought that the princess was pregnant. On the way, he asked a doctor to come over and take a look. He felt relieved when he found out that she was not pregnant.

After all, he was still young and still very angry. After leaving the capital, Zhu Song couldn't hold back his temper anymore, and started playing games with the princess as soon as his mind came up.

When he was exhausted, Zhu Song realized that he was still on the road. He might be captured by others at some point. What kind of game could he play at this time?

But now that I have left the palace, I can no longer make a bed on the floor. I have to stay in the same bed every day. At this age, how can I do nothing?

When Feng Miao saw His Highness back, he struggled to get up to serve His Highness, but Zhu Song hurriedly pushed him back.

"Okay, okay, Princess, you don't need to get up to serve me. Princess, have a good rest. I won't torment the Princess tonight!"

How could Feng Miaoqin endure Zhu Song's teasing? Hearing a squeak, he hurriedly retracted his head into the quilt.

"Your Highness hates it. How can you say these things to my concubine?"

"Why can't you say it? You are my king's wife and my princess. I can't even say flirting words to my wife?"

"Good princess, wait until we arrive in Liaodong and you can recover for a while. Gradually you will know that our northern border of the Ming Dynasty is also a land of great rivers and mountains."

Princess Zhenshou had been huddled under the quilt, refusing to come out, but she still hummed after hearing these words.

When Zhu Song saw it, his index finger moved again. He had never tasted the beauty of human relations before, but now that he tasted it, he would think of it from time to time. However, the princess was now weak, so Zhu Song still suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

A night of silence.

We continued our journey on the second day, took out the Hanwang Token, and left Shanhaiguan. This was considered as leaving the customs and arriving outside the customs.

The outside of the pass and the inside of the pass are two different places. Although the inside of the pass is also in the north, the cold and snowy degree are not as good as those outside the pass. The cold wind outside the pass blows the white snow on the ground, like knives.

human face.

Even in the face of such severe cold, Zhu Song still rode on horseback. He wore a thick fox fur cloak, his face was wrapped in a special cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his head was also wrapped in a kerchief. In addition to riding in a carriage along the way,

People basically dress like this.

Looking from a distance, if it weren't for the fact that the armor on his body could tell that he was a regular army of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people might have thought that they were bandits coming down the mountain.

Chen Zheng was also very happy to be able to return to Kaiyuan as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, according to our marching speed, it won't take long to return to Kaiyuan."

Even after leaving Shanhaiguan, it is still a thousand miles away to Kaiyuan.

Now that there is heavy snow, I am afraid that the speed of progress will be reduced again. The journey that originally took three days will now take five to eight days.

In this way, it will be good to be able to go to Kaiyuan in the new year after New Year's Day.

But it’s just such a long journey, and there are royal inns along the way, so it’s not too hard.

While he was thinking this, Zhu Song suddenly noticed that there was snow smoke filling the sky five miles ahead. This was the momentum created by the formations of cavalry running on the snow.

As soon as Zhu Song raised his hand, Chen Zheng immediately shouted to the team.

"alert!"

The soldiers came forward one after another, drawing their bows when they needed to, and drawing their swords when they needed to, and instantly formed a defensive formation.

Zhu Song kept looking at the situation ahead. The cavalry five miles away seemed to have noticed someone in front of them, and slowed down as soon as they nodded.

But as soon as he showed his head, Zhu Song could already tell who the other party was.

Even those people wore Han Chinese clothes and hairstyles, and the posture of these cavalrymen was far from that of ordinary mountain bandits, let alone the troops of the surrounding vassal kings and vassals.

Why did the king's army have to dress up as bandits?
