Chapter 1516 The Shuiyue Kingdom’s army has arrived

"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded and sat down next to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi didn't seem to want to "get up". She was still lying there, looking at Wu Fan, motionless like a wooden sculpture.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Although Wu Fan had gotten used to Zhao Qi looking at him these days, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"We have already arrived at Xiufeng Country." Zhao Qi said lightly.

"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded.

In fact, they had already crossed most of Xiufeng Country. Xiufeng Country was not big to begin with, and the speed of crossing was naturally not slow as the wedding procession was running fast.

"It's not far from Tianji Country." Zhao Qi said with a little sadness.

After Xiufeng Country, there is Tianji Country. Once they reach Tianji Country, there will be little time left for her and Wu Fan to be together. Moreover, Tianji Country may have sent a team to wait at the border. Once they pass the territory of Xiufeng Country, the wedding party may move forward under the escort of Tianji Country's army. At that time, it is hard to say whether Wu Fan can still hide in the carriage like now.

Wu Fan was slightly startled, and then he understood what Zhao Qi meant.

To be honest, after spending these few days together, Wu Fan is more reluctant to let Zhao Qi marry far away than before.

Before, Wu Fan wanted to stop Zhao Qi from marrying far away, mainly because of the mission and the friendship between him and Zhao Qi. He didn't think much about other things.

Maybe she knew that she would never have the chance to see Wu Fan in the future, so Zhao Qi acted quite boldly these days, showing her friendship with Wu Fan without a doubt. She was even bolder and more enthusiastic than girls in reality, and she hardly concealed anything.

Wu Fan's mentality gradually changed in Zhao Qi's continuous and bold love confession. He was no longer as calm as before. It seemed that he had only pure friendship with Zhao Qi.

As a result, Wu Fan was naturally more reluctant to let Zhao Qi marry far away.

However, in the past few days, he still couldn't think of a good way to solve this matter. Although he was impatient, he had no idea.

When Wu Fan was thinking about it, Zhao Qi suddenly stood up, came to Wu Fan's side, and hugged Wu Fan tightly.

Feeling the warmth from Zhao Qi, Wu Fan's heartbeat was obviously much faster than before.

"Wu Fan, I really can't bear to leave you." Zhao Qi murmured in Wu Fan's arms, with strong affection.

"If you can't bear to leave, don't leave." Wu Fan blurted out.

Zhao Qi just smiled and didn't say anything.

She and Wu Fan both knew that at this point in the marriage, it was no longer a matter of breaking off the marriage. Zhao Qi couldn't afford the price of breaking off the marriage.

Wu Fan stretched out his hand, hesitated for a while, and put it on Zhao Qi's back, saying softly: "I can definitely come up with a way to have the best of both worlds."

The first time Wu Fan hugged her, Zhao Qi's smile almost overflowed. She closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying this moment of warmth, and whispered softly: "Well, I believe you."

Just as the two were enjoying this moment of warmth, the black shadow four-winged bird and the Yaoyang spotted bird, who had been on alert in the sky, suddenly sent a warning.

Wu Fan frowned, gently let go of Zhao Qi, and said in a deep voice: "The people of Shuiyue Country are here!"

"Ah?" Zhao Qi was still immersed in the happiness of a breakthrough in her relationship with Wu Fan, but suddenly heard such news, and she was stunned.

"Put on your clothes first." Wu Fan said, while picking up the clothes next to him to help Zhao Qi put them on, and said: "Then go and notify the general leading the wedding team and let him arrange the defense formation in advance."

"Okay." Zhao Qi said while putting on her clothes.

After all, this is in the wild, and there are many outsiders around. Zhao Qi naturally won't take off all her clothes when she rests every night. Now she won't waste too much time.

Zhao Qi didn't doubt the information Wu Fan said. After putting on her clothes, she hurriedly got off the carriage, woke up Xiaoqing and others beside her, and then went to the outer tent where the army was stationed.

Zhao Qi's wedding team was very large. In addition to the eunuchs and palace maids who were responsible for taking care of Zhao Qi's food, clothing, and daily life and transporting dowry, there was also a group of imperial guards from the palace. These imperial guards were responsible for protecting Zhao Qi's safety. On weekdays, when the wedding team was stationed, this group of imperial guards was stationed on the periphery of the entire team to protect Zhao Qi in the center.

After all, resisting the ambush of Shuiyue Country is not a trivial matter. Moreover, there is no trace of Shuiyue Country's army at the moment. Therefore, if Xiaoqing or other palace maids are sent to pass the message, the generals of the imperial guards may not believe it. Even if they believe it, they may be skeptical. Naturally, the action will be much slower.

Therefore, Wu Fan asked Zhao Qi to go in person, and Zhao Qi had no complaints about it.

After Zhao Qi left, Wu Fan also used the invisibility technique to secretly leave the carriage and headed towards the periphery of the garrison.

Wu Fan was very familiar with the imperial guards in Zhao Qi's wedding team. The summoning token in his hand could summon the imperial guards of Yanfeng Country. However, Wu Fan's summoning token has been upgraded many times, so the imperial guards summoned by the summoning token are stronger than the original imperial guards of Yanfeng Country.

However, even if the strength of the imperial guards in the wedding procession is not as good as those summoned by Wu Fan's summoning token, their strength should not be underestimated. The imperial guards are one of the most powerful elite troops in Yanfeng Country, and their combat effectiveness has been tested on the battlefield.

However, Wu Fan still felt uneasy.

According to the news sent back by the black shadow four-winged bird and the Yaoyang spotted bird, there are many troops from Shuiyue Country who came to ambush. Moreover, since the emperor of Shuiyue Country sent people to ambush the wedding procession of Yanfeng Country, he must not want to fail. Therefore, the strength of the team sent will not be too bad, and it is even possible that they are as strong as the imperial guards of Yanfeng Country!

"Your Highness, you said that there are troops from Shuiyue Country coming towards us?" Shao Haogang, the imperial guard general who was responsible for the safety of the entire wedding procession, looked at Zhao Qi with some surprise.

Shao Haogang is a senior general in the Imperial Guards of Yanfeng Country. Although he is not the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, his status in the Imperial Guards is not low. Shao Haogang was born into a noble family and has a good background. However, he is not a playboy, but has been strict with himself since he was a child. He disdains to be like other noble children, coveting romance, but wants to make a difference on the battlefield.

Shao Haogang wanted to go to the front-line army, but his family did not allow it, so he had to settle for the second best and join the Imperial Guards.
