Since leaving the gate, Qin Shaoyou felt a bit sad. Before going out of the frontier, he had a bit of poetic sentiment. His mind was full of wind and wind, and he saw cattle and sheep, but he found that the situation was much worse.

Recently, it has been rainy and sometimes sunny, but it is also unbearable for heat. However, it is a biting cold wind at night. Even if a fire is set in a temporary tent, it will be extremely cold.

Anima was used to it. She was in a good mood and didn't feel cold. When she walked in the daytime, if she met some herders, she would bring a few Turkic warriors to greet them.

But after leaving the desert, the shepherds here did not seem to be very friendly to the "Tang Army". Anima talked to Qin Shaoyou as he cherished: "Originally, these herders respected the Tang people. When Emperor Taizong was there, they set up the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion and set up officials such as the chiefs to manage the place. Everyone was in peace. However, after Emperor Gaozong, the officials of the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion became increasingly relaxed and greedy. They no longer only mediated disputes between the various ministries, but used their own power to make profits from it. Therefore, my father Khan only brought seventeen tribesmen to raise the flag to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, so ten thousand people responded, and the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion collapsed. After years of war, there was no longer harmony in the desert."

When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he just smiled. To some extent, the Tang Dynasty did have many problems with the policies on the grasslands. The biggest of them may be that the people here have no place to live, and the so-called Protectorate only relies on prestige to shock the tribes, mediate conflicts between various races, and command this desert land. However, once the prestige gradually loses, the place will be restored to its original state.

But... Qin Shaoyou is just a small Henan Dao Unite Commander. This matter...it really has nothing to do with him. If he is not in his position and does not do anything, the most important thing for him now is to deal with the old Taishan, who is already unbearable.

The hundreds of Turkic warriors he brought were natural guides, but these nearly two thousand people were not moving fast, so they stopped and stopped. The deeper they went into the desert, the more desolate they passed. This feeling of being deserted for thousands of miles made Qin Shaoyou, who had been used to staying in Luoyang for a long time, suddenly felt like he was a different world.

At that night, Qin Shaoyou was fine. He burned a stove in the tent and slept with Anima. Although he still felt cold, he was still quite a bit miserable. However, Princess Taiping seemed a little bad because she was "serving" Qin Shaoyou and Anima alone, and it was impossible to sleep with the men in other tents, so she simply moved a blanket to Qin Shaoyou's tent to sleep. At night, she was always so cold that her teeth were clattering.

Anima seemed to have noticed Li Lingyue's identity. After all, she had had a deal with Li Lingyue before. At first, she felt familiar with this person, but later she remembered it. But she didn't point it out.

This was the eleventh day of entering the desert. The huge team was like a long snake, continuing to move forward slowly towards the hinterland.

But at this time, Anima couldn't rest anymore.

The eldest princess is about to give birth...

That's right. When leaving Luoyang, the eldest princess' belly began to bulge. Qin Shaoyou estimated that the prince was pregnant for six or seven months, and he had been going all the way. It's nearly three months, and no one had ever thought that the child would be born early.

No matter what, in this era, having children is a big deal, especially for women, after all, it is like walking in the gates of hell.

The team had to stop, and Anima volunteered to go to deliver the baby. The eldest princess's tent was already busy. Qin Shaoyou was a man, so of course there was much inconvenience. As for Li Lingyue, she did not dare to meet the eldest princess, so she had to stay in Qin Shaoyou's tent obediently.

She was dissatisfied with Qin Shaoyou. In front of Anima, she looked like a palace maid and obeyed everything. She hung her shoulders and washed her feet and worked hard. As soon as Anima left, she revealed her true form and immediately grinned, wishing to swallow Qin Shaoyou alive.

Qin Shaoyou naturally didn't want to be alone with her, and did not give her any chance. When she saw Anima walking forward, she hurriedly called Fang Jing. When Li Lingyue saw Fang Jing, she was so scared that she dared not look up, for fear that she would see her.

In fact, what she didn't know was that most of Qin Shaoyou's confidants recognized her, and even Fang Jing secretly asked Qin Shaoyou why the princess ran away or was dressed as a palace maid. Qin Shaoyou just smiled meaningfully and pursed her lips without saying a word. Fang Jing immediately began to think that it must be a secret matter, so her body shook, and even when she came to Li Lingyue, she would never deliberately look at her, and always looked like she was ignored.

As for Li Lingyue, he felt quite contented as if others had not recognized her, but Qin Shaoyou seized the opportunity.

"Xiao Huan, come and massage the back of this commander...Xiao Huan, pour tea...Oh, Captain Fang, where did we just talk about it? What do you mean is that there is a team of people, which seems to be right near us, and have been sending some scattered soldiers to dress up as herders to spy on our reality, right?"

Seeing Li Lingyue who was hitting his pink fist on Qin Shaoyou's back, lowering his head, he always inadvertently showed resentment, Fang Jing was speechless. He cheered up and said indifferently: "Yes, there are countless people in the specific number, but they carefully investigated our virtual and real situations and refused to slacken. This is a bit strange. Logically, it is natural for the Turks to be alert for such a big battle. But a few days ago, in a place, after we set off in the camp, we secretly sent scouts back to our former camp to check, and they found the traces of these people. This means that they are not only investigating our virtual and real situations, but even the number of our people is investigating. This is too abnormal. After all, the Turks know our identity..."

Qin Shaoyou nodded and frowned, "Then we should strengthen our guard in the future. Since the visitors are not good, it is better to be careful."

After finishing the business, Qin Shaolou did not let Fang Jing go, but instead had tea with Fang Jing. Until the evening, Anima ran over excitedly and said, "I've been born, I've been born... I'm a man, not small..."

Qin Shaoyou looked strange when he heard this. He suddenly realized that although his princess wife was also scheming, she was sometimes so stupid and cute.

Big sister... The person who gave birth to a child is your sister-in-law, and the child your sister-in-law gave birth to is not your brother's. How happy are you?

Qin Shaoyou had to close his eyes. This child... was really a sin. He sent the child with one free one, but he didn't know how Lord Taishan would kill him. Then... he was silent for three seconds for his dear brother-in-law, then raised his eyes and squeezed out a smile and said, "This is a great thing, hehe... it's so happy, hehe..."

Then... there is no more.

After a heavy rain, this team of elite soldiers and strong generals continued to set off.

At noon, several scouts caught a herdsman. Qin Shaoyou saw two regiments riding horses in front and tied a herdsman with ropes behind him. He rushed directly to the team and hurriedly walked side by side with Anima.

The herder seemed to have been beaten up, but just gritted his teeth but didn't say anything.

One of the regiments said: "The Chief, this person has been inquiring about our truth and facts. We took him on the order of the Chief of the Fang school and asked the Chief of the Chief of the Chief of the People's Republic to deal with it."

Qin Shaoyou looked at Anima slowly. Anima nodded, then rushed forward and whispered to the man in Turkic words. The herder just gritted his teeth, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tuan Yong next to him shook the whip hard and hit him.

Anima said a few more words in Turkic language.

The man finally raised his head, seemed very surprised, and then started talking to Anima. It took not long before Anima said, "Let him go."

"What... Your Highness..."

Anima's face was cold: "Let him go and give him a day's dry food, a horse."

The two Tuan Yongs responded unwillingly, and then someone got off the horse and untied his rope and handed the horse in his hands.

The herder raised his eyes and looked at Anima, muttered a few words, then turned over and disappeared from their sight.

Seeing the suspicion on Qin Shaoyou's face, Anima said seriously: "Husband, that's not a Turk, but a Khitan. The Khitans were always my Turkish slaves, but since the Turkic era destroyed the country during the reign of Emperor Taizong, they have begun to be rebellious. This time, they plan to attack us."

"Do it?" Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but frown.

Anima nodded and said, "Yes, they have gathered two thousand cavalry and want to rob me and the eldest princess. As for the others..." Anima gritted her teeth and continued, "Although he did not say why he was going to attack us,... based on my guess... this is probably the order of Father Khan. Father Khan has planned for several years for my marriage. This sudden change will not be easily stopped, but... just... hey..."
