The 343rd chapter missionary team in trouble (1)
On April 11th, at dawn, Zhai Xiying set off from Prince Ying's Mansion to the wilderness. Please search () to see the most complete version! The fastest update was too early, Youruo was still sleeping, and Zhai Xiying couldn't bear to wake her up, so in Youruo
When Ruo Xiying fell asleep, Zhai Xiying's delegation had already left the capital.
The number of envoys from Manhuang to the dynasty was three times that of Zhai Xiying's mission. In terms of number of soldiers, there were actually more soldiers from Manhuang than those from the Shengtian dynasty.
Zhai Xiying ran at the front on his horse, followed by about a hundred soldiers, who fell panting behind Zhai Xiying.
They didn't stop much on the way, so many of the foot soldiers in the envoy team couldn't keep up with the cavalry and fell down.
"King Ying, should we stop the meeting? There are sixty infantrymen behind us more than ten miles away." The leader in charge of this small group was riding a horse, his breath unsteady.
Zhai Xiying turned her head and agreed, "Just find a forest here to rest for a while."
"Yes." The leader quickly gestured for everyone to stop.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhai Xiying became impatient and ordered the commander: "Send someone to see what's going on. The speed of the infantry should not follow us by now."
"Your Majesty, maybe they were too tired in the middle of the journey and stopped like us." After the commander explained, he immediately sent his men to explore the infantry who fell behind.
Another quarter of an hour passed. Logically speaking, it should be enough for the cavalry to go back and forth.
The commander looked at His Royal Highness Prince Ying's increasingly cold face, his throat rolled nervously twice, and he asked uneasily: "How about I go and see it myself?"
Zhai Xiying looked up at the sunlight filtering through the shade of the trees, her thin lips parted slightly, "The infantry has left the team for an hour."
The commander nodded in agreement.
"Let's set off." Zhai Xiying turned over and got on the horse.
The commander was confused and immediately asked Zhai Xiying, "King Ying, do we no longer need infantry?"
"You're dead, why are you here?" Zhai Xiying lowered her head and glanced at the commander coldly.
The commander standing on the ground felt a chill go down his spine. He understood what King Ying meant...those soldiers who were dragging the team might have been killed by someone from unknown faction.
"Quickly, let's go!" the commander immediately issued the order. If they were delayed, they would be the ones who died.
The commander speeded up, followed Zhai Xiying, and asked for orders: "Your Highness King Ying, if someone comes to kill you, what can we do?"
"What to do?" Zhai Xiying chuckled, with endless sarcasm, "You guys? Just wait until you die."
"..." The commander stopped instantly, holding the reins stiffly with both hands.
No, how can we wait to die! "His Royal Highness King Ying, we still need to protect you, how can we..."
Zhai Xi didn't even turn his head, but he kindly reminded the commander, "What your team usually does are trivial things, right?"
The commander immediately nodded and replied: "On weekdays, we are responsible for managing the lives of the people in the capital. If there are quarrels or minor chaos among the people, we..." The commander did not say any more...
They are just an inconspicuous team. Among the soldiers who are organized into the army, their tasks are the lowest... When they received the mission, their team even drank excitedly...
"King Ying, do you know something?" The commander is not stupid and knows how to rely on Zhai Xiying.
But just because he asked, it doesn't mean Zhai Xiying wants to answer.
"King Ying, won't you report this matter to His Majesty?" The commander felt that this matter was very important. They were on an envoy mission. If there was any loss, then...
Zhai Xiying glanced at the commander again and thought: He is always stupid. No wonder he is still a useless little commander in his middle age.
