Chapter 994.

The carriages and horses sparkled, the flags waved, and the primus galloped all the way west.

Wang Chen looked back at the road he had just traveled and saw the Imperial Capital in the distance that was about to disappear from sight.

Somehow, it was possible that he was influenced by Sun Zhengheng, and he also had a not very good premonition!

“Lord Wang ……”

It was at this time that a knight quickly approached Wang Dust and whispered, “His Highness invites you over.”

The knight’s voice was crisp and pleasant, and with her fair skin and delicate features, her gender was immediately apparent.

There were fifty female knights in the three thousand feathered guards escorting the peace procession, responsible for following the carriage that Princess Qing Yun was traveling in.

Wang Chen nodded, “Got it.”

He pulled up the reins and controlled the yellow hussar to approach the luxurious carriage pulled by eight steeds.

This carriage was a royal regulation, and its carriage was so wide that it was like a mobile house, with all sorts of facilities inside that could easily accommodate a dozen or so passengers.

As for the passengers, they were naturally Princess Qing Yun and the maids accompanying her.

“Master!”

Wang Chen had just leaned over when he saw Princess Qing Yun poking her head out of the open window of the car, “Can you come up here, I have a lot of questions to ask you.”

The guards next to her looked on with their eyes and noses, all pretending not to see or hear.

Wang Dust cried and laughed, “Your Highness, this is not very convenient.”

Although he now held the title of Prince Crown Prince and was Princess Qing Yun’s actual master, but drilling into the latter’s carriage in full view of the public was really not a behavior that was in line with the rules!

Princess Qing Yun gave a “humph” and closed the window door heavily after retracting her head.

Obviously, she was telling Wang Chuan that “I am angry”.

Wang Chen shook his head, not paying attention.

If he were Princess Qing Yun, he would not be in a good mood even if he had traveled all the way to a strange country to marry a complete stranger.

Wang Chen pulled away from the carriage.

But not long after, the female knight leaned over again and brought a food box.

Wang Dust understood at a glance that this was his cheap disciple’s filial piety.

A trace of warmth flooded his heart.

The long procession stretched out for several miles on the official road, and when the eastbound merchants and pedestrians saw it, they all fearfully avoided the roadside, all of them being respectful.

Out of security considerations, the speed of the peace procession is not fast, and along the way through the prefectures and counties have local dignitaries over to meet and greet and hospitality, offer a wide range of things.

According to this rhythm, Wang dust estimated that no half a year time do not want to come to the capital of Yan!

And along the way, Princess Qing Yun was also honest.

Although she didn’t invite Wang Dust to come on the carriage to teach herself anymore, she usually still insisted on practicing the Dao, and when she encountered a problem, she passed it to Wang Dust through a note to ask about it.

A very diligent look.

For such a disciple, Wang Chuan naturally did not begrudge her teaching, adding a touch of fun to this long and boring journey.

A month later, the peace party arrived at the West Sea Prairie.

The West Sea Prairie is located in the territory of West Sea County, which is the largest of the many counties in Da Liang, with a very vast area.

However, the population of Xihai County was not very large, and was mainly concentrated in a few cities.

This meant that the team’s next journey was going to be quite grueling, and it would not be possible to stay in the cities from time to time, as well as receive flattery and supplies from the local officials.

In addition there was a great scourge in the West Sea Prairie.

“It’s mainly three groups of horse thieves ……”

Sun Zhengheng said to Wang Duan, “Especially the White Wolf Bandits, they are very strong, and all three leaders are fifth ranked Martial Zong strength!”

The White Wolf Bandits had been rampaging across the West Sea Prairie for decades, and started off as just a small group of horse thieves, but later on, their strength had expanded and had become a major problem for West Sea County.

Especially in recent years, many local herdsmen had joined the White Wolf Bandits, causing the latter’s power to expand once again, once posing a great threat to the county.

It was not that West Sea County had not sent troops to surround and annihilate them, but in addition to the loss of soldiers and the waste of money and food, there was no more gain.

The most troublesome thing is that there are dozens of horse thieves in the prairie, and most of them have contact with each other, and will warn each other of danger, and even form alliances!

Wang Duan understood, “You’re worried that these horse thieves will turn against us?”

Sun Zhengheng said so much, surely it wasn’t because he talked too much.

“Uh-huh.”

Sun Zhengheng smiled bitterly and pointed at the dozens of cargo-carrying wagons in the group, “These things are enough to invite the thieves over!”

These carriages were carrying all of Princess Qing Yun’s dowry, gold, silver, jewels, damask, silk and satin, worth at least a few million taels, a great fortune.

It was normal to cause horse thieves to covet them.

Wang Dust laughed, “Come as you are, the 3,000 Feathered Forests under your command are always not vegetarians, right?”

The Blood Clothes Guards, the Golden Goo Guards, and the Feather Forest Guards were known as the Three Guards of the Son of Heaven, and were the close guards directly belonging to the Emperor of Da Liang, the latter all being the elite soldiers selected from the various legions.

The 3,000 feather forests responsible for escorting the peace procession were even more elite of the elite.

Wang Chen didn’t believe that the White Wolf Bandits could compete with this team, even if they added a group of horse thieves.

The horse thieves and robbers were fine against the merchant group guards, but when it came to a real army, their shortcomings would be exposed!

“I once heard a rumor ……”

Sun Zhengheng lowered his voice and said, “The White Wolf Thieves are related to Great Yan.”

Hmm?

Wang Duan was slightly stunned – this Great Yan was an ally of Great Liang!

But when he turned his eyes, he felt that he was naive, there was no real friendship between this country and the country, it was just a matter of interests.

The northern Qi wants to annex the Great Liang, Great Yan has no idea?

With the help of horse thieves and robbers to bury nails in the territory of Da Liang, obviously is a very clever means.

If the White Wolf Bandits were really related to Great Yan, then their strength would have to be reassessed and they could not be paralyzed.

“Wang Taibao.”

Sun Zhengheng said sincerely, “Fear not, fear not, if we really fall into danger, I hope you can take His Highness to leave first and leave us alone!”

“Good.”

Wang Chen nodded, “I promise you.”

Sun Zhengheng revealed a pleased smile, “Many thanks!”

Woo~

The sound of a majestic horn came from the front, only to see the guiding flags waving, and the speed of the group’s forward movement dropped all of a sudden.

It was about to get dark, and it was time to set up camp.

In this place where there is no village in front and no store at the back, not even a single merchant or pedestrian has been encountered, so we can only camp tonight.

When night fell and darkness began to cover the land, a bunch of bonfires were set up and lit in the campground.

A group of Feather Forest Guards gathered around the campfire, enjoying their dinner while talking and laughing, the atmosphere was quite warm.

Ow~

Suddenly, a long wolf howl came from far away, reaching everyone’s ears!

Many of the Feather Forest Guards immediately changed their faces!
