Chapter 94: Entering the Pass Alone
Night falls and the stars shine brightly.
Si Luoshi rode his horse to the foot of the pass and explained his purpose to the captain guarding Dongning Pass.
She explained in detail Daqian's position and purpose of this marriage, and emphasized the importance of this matter to ensure Daqian's internal peace.
Her words were full of sincerity and tenderness, trying to touch the softest part of the captain's heart.
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu, who was in the mansion, also received the news that Princess Si Luoshi came to visit alone.
He knew how complicated and changeable the relationship between the two Eastern states and Daqian was today.
At a time when the Cangzhou army was on an expedition to Qizhou, he did not want to easily let the Daqian marriage team, which carried 3,000 elite soldiers, pass through the pass and enter Cangzhou.
But Yuwen Chengdu did not want to stir up disputes between Cang, Yun and Daqian states for no reason.
After all, his adoptive father Su Kai and his brother Su Ye are now focusing their expansion efforts on the neighboring Dayong Dynasty, which is in civil strife.
Even if I can't go to the front line to help them.
We can't cause trouble for them both in the rear.
"call"
After some thought, Yuwen Chengdu decided to have a face-to-face conversation with Si Luoshi.
I hope to understand the real intentions and attitudes of the Daqian marriage team through direct communication.
Squeak!
As the heavy gate of Dongning Pass was slowly pushed open.
"Princess, please!"
Jin Wushu led a team of soldiers out of the pass to contact Si Luoshi, and stood in front of Si Luoshi with his head lowered.
Try not to look up at her.
After all, this Daqian team came here for marriage alliance.
He is not the straight man like his elder brother.
We still don’t know what Su Ye’s attitude is right now.
Maybe these people will be the mistresses over your head in the future.
Therefore, Jin Wushu's tone and attitude towards Si Luoshi were still very respectful.
"Excuse me, General."
Looking at Jin Wushu, who had obvious alien features, Si Luoshi did not show any strange expression on his face. Instead, he smiled at Jin Wushu.
"You are welcome, Princess."
Jin Wushu lowered his head and led her to the hall of Dongning Pass.
Yuwen Chengdu met Si Luoshi in the conference room.
He looked at the young princess with a hint of wariness and curiosity.
Si Luoshi responded to his gaze with a calm attitude, with a gentle smile on her face that made people feel like spring breeze.
"Princess Luo Shi, Daqian's move is somewhat puzzling to Chengdu."
"You know, the five states in the Daqian Central Region are not very stable right now."
Yuwen Chengdu finally spoke up, "The peace you described does not match what I know."
"General Yuwen, peace requires the joint efforts of the people of the world."
Si Luoshi smiled lightly and didn't care about Yuwen Chengdu's question.
She explained: "We in Daqian do not have too big ambitions. We only seek peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Therefore, this time we just hope to maintain stability with the two states of Dongtu Cang and Yun."
Hearing Si Luoshi's words, Yuwen Chengdu smiled and didn't say much to her about the topic of the people of the world.
Now, Daqian and the two eastern states of Cang and Yun are on the verge of parting ways.
There's no point in talking about this anymore.
"Princess, I won't embarrass you then."
"Daqian's marriage team can enter Cangzhou, but the 3,000 armored soldiers under the pass are not allowed to carry weapons or armor into Cangzhou."
"And you must go to Cangling City under the escort of my Dongning Pass soldiers!"
Yuwen Chengdu was not a pedantic person. He knew whether Daqian should form an alliance with Cang and Yun states or not.
It was all about his adoptive father and Jinyu. It was Jinyu who asked for a wife.
Maybe it will work, and then one of these three will be your mistress.
Yuwen Chengdu naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble.
He only needs to ensure that this marriage team from Daqian does not cause any trouble in Cangzhou.
As for what to do with these three princesses when they arrive in Cangling City.
That is the business of Li Shanchang and his group of literati who are now staying in Cangling City.
"That's fine, I'll have to trouble General Yuwen."
Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu was not as difficult to talk to as he had imagined, Si Luoshi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and agreed.
As for the conditions mentioned by Yuwen Chengdu, Si Luoshi did not take them to heart.
As long as we can ensure that these few of us can get through, it will be fine.
Moreover, this marriage team did not originally come to Cangzhou with the purpose of causing trouble or fighting.
It was just to ensure that those rats in Daqian's secretive lurks wouldn't hurt the three princesses and ruin Daqian's marriage plan.
After all, if Daqian really stabilized and even won over the Yunzhou Jiuxiao Army and Cangzhou, which is now under Su Ye’s control.
Then these ambitious people will be a little worried.
Therefore, since Yuwen Chengdu decided to send the soldiers from Dongning Pass to escort himself and others to Cangling City.
Then it’s no big deal if these 3,000 soldiers disarm.
"You are too polite, Princess. This is what I should do as a soldier of Daqian."
Obviously, after being with Jin Wushu for such a long time, Yuwen Chengdu had learned something.
At least my thick skin has improved a lot, and I can say things that I don't even believe without blushing or feeling nervous.
“Uh.”
Hearing Yuwen Chengdu, Si Luoshi's mouth twitched and she forced a smile, almost unable to maintain the gentle smile on her face.
I believe you!
I didn't expect that you, Yuwen Chengdu, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are so thick-skinned.
Woo!
At the foot of the mighty Dongning Pass, the marriage team of the three imperial princesses, led by Si Luoying, is ready to set off.
The morning sun shone on everyone, and the air was filled with a faint smell of dust.
The soldiers stood straight with solemn expressions.
They knew the significance of this mission, and everyone was filled with a sense of mission.
Si Luoying rode her horse at the front of the team, her eyes firm and deep.
Si Luoshi and Si Luoqing followed closely behind, both with determined expressions on their faces.
They knew that this marriage was not only to stabilize Cang and Yun states and prevent them from causing chaos, but also to win them over to serve their own ends.
They shoulder great responsibilities and cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.
"Wushu, I'll leave Dongning Pass to you first."
"This time, I will personally escort the three princesses to Cangling City."
Watching the marriage team slowly entering Dongning Pass, Yuwen Chengdu, wearing golden armor and holding a phoenix-wing gold-plated halberd on the top of the city wall, spoke to Jin Wushu who was standing beside him.
"Well, big brother, be careful. There will be absolutely no problem at Dongning Pass."
"But this marriage team is not certain. There are too many people who don't want them to reach Cangling City safely."
Obviously, for the countless old coins under the undercurrent in Daqian at this time.
The marriage between Daqian and the two states of Cang and Yundongtu will definitely bring more harm than good.
Whether it is that Daqian gets the support of the two Eastern states of Cang and Yun, or that Cang and Yun and the two states gain the righteousness of dominating the world in the future because of the marriage.
