The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 265 The Princess's Unyielding Journey Home

The princess walked lightly and slowly set out on her journey home. At that moment, her mood was like a small boat in the turbulent waves, heavy but determined. On her beautiful face, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, with deep worry, but also shining with fearlessness.

The journey was long, and as soon as they set out, they encountered difficulties from the heavens. The strong wind roared like an angry beast, and then the big raindrops shot towards the ground like arrows. The carriage that the princess was riding in was moving forward with difficulty like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain. The curtains were blown wildly by the strong wind, and the cold rain splashed into the carriage. The princess wrapped her cloak tightly, her body trembling slightly, but her eyes looking into the distance revealed her unwavering determination.

"Princess, the rain is so heavy, why don't we find a place to take shelter for a while?" The accompanying guard asked cautiously with a worried look on his face.

The princess shook her head resolutely and said sternly: "No! Time waits for no one. Every minute and every second is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty. Keep moving forward!"

The guards had no choice but to grit their teeth and pull the reins hard in the wind and rain to keep the carriage moving forward. The wheels struggled painfully in the mud, sinking deeply into puddles from time to time, and the guards had to work together and shout slogans to push the carriage out with difficulty.

The rain soaked everyone's clothes, and the coldness attacked their bodies, but the princess and the guards did not retreat at all. The princess's hair was stuck to her cheeks, and the rain flowed down her white neck, but her eyes were always staring forward, as if that was the only direction in her heart.

Finally, the raging wind and rain gradually subsided, but a new obstacle appeared before them. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the road ahead had a terrible landslide, and huge rocks and thick soil piled up on the road, like a ruthless barrier, blocking their way.

The princess stepped out of the car and frowned at the mess. "Everyone, listen up, work together and make sure to clear a path as soon as possible!" The princess's voice was like a silver bell and full of majesty.

Everyone got the order and started to move. Some guards worked hard to move stones, some worked hard to shovel mud, and the princess, regardless of her dignity, rolled up her sleeves and joined in. Her gorgeous skirt was covered with mud, and her delicate hands were bruised by the stones, but she had only one obsession in her heart: to pass this place as soon as possible and return to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.

Sweat mixed with rain water flowed down everyone's forehead. The princess's strength was gradually exhausted, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to stop.

"Princess, please take a rest for a while!" a guard said with concern.

The princess gasped and responded, "No, everyone is working hard, how can I back down!"

After several hours of hard work, the road was finally cleared and the carriage was able to move forward. However, before they could catch their breath, a group of uninvited guests came to harass them again.

A group of masked men in black suddenly jumped out from the woods on both sides of the road like ghosts, holding gleaming swords and full of murderous intent.

"Protect the princess!" The guards shouted in unison, quickly surrounding the princess and engaging in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the men in black.

The flashing of swords and the roar of killing were deafening. The princess's face was as pale as paper, but there was no fear in her eyes. She firmly believed that the loyalty and bravery of the guards would surely repel this group of villains.

The guards were extremely brave and fought with their lives. Some of them were wounded in many places, but they still fought desperately.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the men in black gradually became exhausted and had to flee in a panic. The princess looked at the blood on the ground and the exhausted guards, her heart filled with gratitude and guilt.

"You all have worked hard. If it weren't for your desperate protection, I would not have been able to escape unscathed." The princess said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Princess, you are too polite. It is our duty to protect you, even if we die!" The guards responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

After this series of twists and turns, the princess and her companions became more cautious. They traveled day and night, not daring to be negligent or slack.

At night, when everyone stopped to rest on an open grassland, the princess sat alone by the campfire, with a lot of thoughts in her beautiful eyes. She recalled her experiences in a foreign country, and what she saw and heard made her deeply realize how hard it was for the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty. She also remembered the trust of the court and the earnest expectations of the people, and her belief in returning home became more and more solid.

"No matter how many difficulties and dangers there are, I will definitely return to the Tang Dynasty and convey what I have seen, heard, thought and decided to the court and the people." The princess secretly made a vow in her heart.

In the following days, the princess and her companions encountered an extreme shortage of food and water. As they crossed a vast desert, the scorching sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly. The water in the water bag was reduced drop by drop.

"Princess, we are running low on water. We must use it carefully," the captain of the guards said solemnly.

The princess nodded slightly and said with a firm look: "Everyone please be patient for now. I believe we can get out of this desert."

They struggled to move forward in this extremely harsh environment, and every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Their lips were chapped and their throats were so dry that they almost smoked, but they never stopped.

The princess looked at the exhausted people around her and prayed silently in her heart.

Just when they were almost in despair, they finally found an oasis full of life. When the cool and sweet spring water flowed into their thirsty throats, they seemed to be reborn, and their joy was beyond words.

The princess looked up at the azure sky and murmured to herself with hope in her heart: "God will surely bless us to return to the Tang Dynasty safely."

After dozens of days and nights of hard work, the princess finally saw the border of the Tang Dynasty. At that moment, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm finally back..." The princess' voice was choked with sobs, and she was almost crying with joy.

Stepping into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the familiar mountains and rivers and the familiar atmosphere hit her face. The princess' heart was full of joy and comfort, but she also knew that new missions and responsibilities were waiting for her.

The princess returned to the capital and went straight to the palace without taking any time to rest. In the court, the princess detailed her experience and put forward a series of suggestions concerning the country and the welfare of the people.

The emperor looked at the princess, his eyes full of admiration and relief: "My daughter has returned this time after going through many hardships, but her mind has become stronger. It is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

The princess said modestly: "As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, I shall devote myself to the Tang Dynasty."
