The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 331 Gorgeous
Lin Zisu said, waved the whip in his hand, and rushed out in the first place.

The white horse under her was flying all four hooves, galloping vigorously, and within a few breaths, it was already more than ten zhang away.The last time she galloped a horse was a few months ago. At that time, she was very drunk. Although it was fun, it was a whim after all.

When riding the horse and raising the whip, the eyes are full of autumn scenery. Not far away, the red maple trees on the mountain are as brilliant as the clouds, and the setting sun in the sky is reflected, which is wonderful.

After all, he was proficient at equestrian skills in his previous life. Although he was a little rusty in his previous life, once he got on a horse, the movements of riding a horse didn't seem too difficult.

Lin Zisu felt relaxed and happy, but within a quarter of an hour, she arrived at the foot of the half-hill slope, and couldn't help but turn her head, but she didn't see Xie Xi's figure.

She was secretly happy, but also a little worried. She felt that she couldn't embarrass Xie Xi too much, so she immediately slowed down her riding speed.

After waiting another quarter of an hour, but still did not see Xie Xi chasing from behind, Lin Zisu was secretly surprised. When she looked up, there was a man and a horse parked on the top of the slope. If it wasn't Xie Xi, who was it?
Seeing that the victory was hopeless, Lin Zisu simply stopped urging and let the white horse move forward slowly.

Still a few feet away from Xie Xi, Xie Xi whistled at her, and said with a smile: "Susu, let me go!"

"Hmph! You are cheating!"

Facing Xie Xi's teasing, Lin Zisu stopped immediately and turned his head to look elsewhere.

"You didn't say which way to go, so I will naturally take the nearest one."

Seeing that Lin Zisu still had an expression of refusal, Xie Xi smiled and shook his head, lightly clamping the horse's belly, and the bay red horse under him slowly moved towards Lin Zisu.

When Lin Zisu came near, Xie Xi stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around Lin Zisu's slender waist.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Lin Zisu let out an exclamation, her body had already jumped into the air, and when she realized it, she had already sat on Xie Xi's horse.

Xie Xi wrapped Lin Zisu in his arms, with endless smiles in his eyes, "Lady, the scenery ahead is better, husband, I'm afraid you don't know the way, so it's better to ride together."

"You will find a reason", Lin Zisu muttered this sentence, but rested her head on Xie Xi's chest.

Xie Xi lowered her head and saw the shyness on that face, like a rose that just bloomed, and her heart was burning.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly with one arm, and whipped the whip violently with the other, the bay red horse galloped out and galloped forward.

The trees on both sides flashed by, and the dirt slope was gradually left behind.

Lin Zisu quietly leaned against Xie Xi, feeling the breath from his nose.Xie Xi's riding skills are obviously better than hers, and the horse's speed is so fast that it doesn't feel the slightest bump.

After walking like this for more than a mile, the road ahead became more and more rugged, and at the end, it became a narrow path.

Xie Xi hugged Lin Zisu and got off the horse, but she still didn't intend to let go, she just turned her body sideways, one arm blocked her back, and the other arm wrapped around the crook of her leg, He kept walking forward with her in his arms.

Xie Xi's lightness skills are very clever, although there is an extra person in his arms, it does not affect his forward steps at all.

Lin Zisu put her arms around Xie Xi's neck, allowing Xie Xi to jump around in the mountains.

After reaching a huge platform, Xie Xi put Lin Zisu down and said with a smile, "Lady, we've arrived."

Just now when both feet were in the air, they suddenly stepped on the ground. Lin Zisu felt her calf numb and could hardly stand up.

She supported Xie Xi's arm and stood for a while, then she recovered and looked around.

The place where the two were standing was actually a big rock protruding from the mountainside.

It's just that over time, under the erosion of wind and frost, the stone has long lost its edges and corners, and the surface has become a large flat open space.

Standing here, with the endless mountains behind, you can see the gorgeous red leaves.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the maple forest moves with the mountain wind, like clusters of jumping flames.

It was the first time for Lin Zisu to see this kind of scene as a human being in two lifetimes, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Xie Xi silently embraced her waist, allowing her to overlook everything under the mountain.

It wasn't until she turned her head that he took her hand and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Susu, I might be going to Dunzhou these days."

A silence answered him.

He knew that the wedding was only three days old, and going to Dunzhou now meant a long parting.

She is only 13 years old, and perhaps she has never experienced what separation is.

Respectively, the word is too heavy.

Sometimes it's a day, sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's a lifetime...

When Xie Xi thought that Lin Zisu would not answer, Lin Zisu suddenly laughed. She pointed to the sunset not far away, and said to Xie Xi: "Fourth brother, it seems that you are watching the sunset with me for the first time. ?”

"Yes", he felt guilty for a while.

She raised her small face, and the smile on her face was brighter than the red leaves, "I heard that there is no winter in Dunzhou all year round, and the sunset there must be more beautiful than the capital."

After a long time, he only heard her raving voice, "I'll wait for you, wait for you to pick me up."

He froze for a moment, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"However, we won't stay in Dunzhou for a long time. Maybe after a year or two, Emperor Father won't worry about me staying there."

Lin Zisu turned her head, her eyes full of doubts, "Didn't the father ask you to go to Dunzhou to let you become a vassal?"

"Father gave me 2 elite soldiers, and asked me to expand to at least [-] troops within two years. Think about it, when that day comes, how can Father be assured that I will be in Dunzhou?"

Lin Zisu's heart was shocked, she had always treated herself as a woman, and rarely took the initiative to ask Xie Xi's plan in detail, so as to avoid Xie Xi's dilemma.

Although I always knew that the emperor must have other intentions in urging Xie Xi to go to Dunzhou.

But he didn't expect that he would be given such a heavy responsibility.

It has long been said in the history books that if the clan is strong and the vassal is not loyal, it will lead to the catastrophe of slaughtering the flesh and blood.

With this in mind, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty issued a strict order that the vassal kings of various places should not have a single soldier in their hands except for daily guards.

But the emperor ignored the ancestral system and gave Xie Xi such an order.

It is conceivable that once Xie Xi has more soldiers and generals, the news will inevitably cause an uproar if it reaches the capital in the future.

Not to mention that it would arouse criticism from the courtiers, it would also arouse Xie Yao's suspicion. As the heir apparent of the dynasty, he would not sit back and watch Xie Xi dominate.

The most important thing is that Dunzhou is a poor place, and it is very difficult to support a Dun Palace. How can it support an army of tens of thousands?

Unless, he has a property that can rival the tax burden of a province.

With countless questions, Lin Zisu looked at Xie Xi with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Actually, I don't lack these 3000 people."

Xie Xi spread out his hands, and his words seemed to be full of helplessness, "Soldiers are expensive but not expensive. There are not many soldiers in the imperial court that can be used. It can't be said that these people will be my burden in the future."
