The summer night sky in the Northland is vast, and the stars cover the entire night, revealing the clarity of inky blue, like a pool of deep water lakes with no end in sight.

Under the vast night sky, everything is silent.

Soft whispers with crisp voices drifted in the night breeze.

"Tomorrow at dawn we will go our separate ways. Perhaps because of fatigue, this voice is a little soft, so that people can know that she is a little lady when you hear it.

The person on the other side didn't reply, only raised his eyes slightly, and lowered his eyebrows.

At this glance, she was caught by the little lady dressed as a man opposite, and her voice rose by two points, and she seemed to be angry, "What do you see me doing? I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

In front of a big living person, but can't say three words all day, this is simply torture for a little lady who likes to be lively.

"Hmm. He answered.

The person on the other side was smoked by his snort, but he couldn't think of anything wrong with him, so he had to be sullen and simply ignore him.

Under the barren mountains and mountains, there is a half-burned fire, although it is not bright enough, but it is enough to see that there are two people sitting on both sides of the fire, it is Yan Jingxiang and Lu Balang who have been on the road for a day.

Lu Balang snorted coldly, and he didn't know where the second lady of the Yan family came from to dare to wander around the chaotic northland alone.

After the two of them crossed the border city, it was precisely because of Yan Jingxiang's insistence that they walked in the wilderness all the way, and they didn't meet a village or a single household when they rushed to wipe the black.

Lu Balang felt that he was dragging on a problem, if it weren't for Lord Taifu's sake, he wouldn't have protected her at all.

Yan Jingxiang didn't expect so much, she came out this time to travel far away, so she naturally made preparations, she didn't go the right way before, and she will always go right in the future.

After being depressed for a while, her mood calmed down a lot, she waved her hand and said, "It's your credit to be able to cross the border city, thank you! I'll just walk the road back!" The appearance of a young man looking at it was nothing wrong, "I will pay you back when I return to the capital." ”

He didn't care about those silver taels, but only asked, "Do you know how to go on the road ahead?"

"Of course I do. Her voice was a little smug.

From the moment she knew that her sister had come to the border city, she made up her mind to come to the border city as well, and found a map of the northern frontier in her grandfather's study in the name of reading, and secretly brought it out.

The eldest lady of the Yan family goes in and out of her grandfather's study all the year round, and with the approval of Lord Taifu, Miss Yan rarely goes to Lord Taifu's study, but when the second lady wants to enter, naturally no one will stop her, so as not to let others think that Lord Taifu is biased by someone, so Yan Jingxiang successfully took away the map of the north from her grandfather's study.

Yan Jingxiang has studied the map during the day, she is in the direction of Youzhou, although the road she has taken during the day has been detoured, and she has to stay in the wilderness at night, but she will definitely be able to go to Youzhou tomorrow.

After a day's journey, and sleeping in the open air, although it was tired, Yan Shizuka felt fresh, without control, it was the sea and the sky, and she was as comfortable as a bird, and she could go wherever she wanted.

Which of those heroes and righteous men who have not experienced the wind and food and slept in the open?

Lu Balang didn't dare to agree with her words, but he just thought of her sister Qingrong County Lord, and sighed quietly.

Thinking of the words he heard outside his father's study a few days ago, Lu Balang's gaze gradually drifted.

"Dad, but what happened in the palace?"

Lu Dalang couldn't help but worry when he saw his father's anxious expression and walked back and forth in front of the case.

Lu Mengzheng took two steps back and forth, reflexively went to the door of the study, opened the door with both hands, saw that there was no one outside the study, and covered the door again, and said with a rather solemn expression, "Today in the palace, the emperor showed my father a document from the border city. ”

"What's making Dad so embarrassed?"

"General Guo submitted a document, especially for a pawn to perform military merits......"

"As a general, General Guo asks for credit for his subordinates, isn't this inappropriate?"

"Alas...... Hear the Father speak. Lu Mengzheng sighed, "The border city has been fighting continuously, and in just one month, there is a well-known young man in the military camp, although this person is young, but he is both wise and brave, and in just a few days, he has created more powerful gunpowder, and he has won the weight of the king of Qi in the back camp. Later, he traveled to Youzhou, and offered a plan in front of General Guo, repelled the fierce wolf soldiers, and protected Youzhou City, and even stood alone on the city wall, and the city gate was wide open to meet the enemy alone......"

Lu Dalang gasped.

What kind of person dares to be so brave?

I only heard Lu Mengzheng say slowly, "This person has outstanding achievements, even if he is given a six-rank official, it is not too much." This person is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but General Guo cherishes his talent and can't bear to see this young man's talent buried, so he sent a document back to Beijing, and the whole text is full of praise and praise for this young man, and implore the emperor to give him an official. ”

"This ...... Isn't this a confidant of His Royal Highness the King of Qin? Why didn't the King of Qin personally ask for merit for his cronies? Instead, General Guo asked for merit for him? Besides, when it comes to military merits, the emperor has always followed the will of the military attaché, so how can he ask your father's opinion? Could it be that General Guo did not propose it in his documents?

"The point is not these, General Guo naturally mentioned everything that should be mentioned. The point is that this person's name is Rongqing, and the emperor suddenly said that the county lord of Qingrong is coming......"

"One is a pawn in the army, how did the emperor mention the granddaughter of the Taifu, what does it have to do with this!" Lu Dalang said unconcernedly.

"I think it is true for my father, but I have been driving for my father for many years, and I have long known the emperor's character, the emperor has the temperament of the emperor everywhere, and he is calm, he seems to be generous, but he is ......very suspicious" Lu Mengzheng didn't dare to say anything more, and only continued, "The emperor said that he suspected that Rong Qing was the county lord of Qingrong!"

"Isn't this ridiculous?" Lu Dalang's voice raised a few points.

"How can my father not think like this? I think that Qingrong is just a little girl who is not in time, raised in the depths of the boudoir, how can she go to the barracks?" Lu Mengzheng couldn't believe it, but it was the words that came out of the emperor's mouth that made him have to be suspicious about this matter.

"What does the emperor mean now? Is it because of a name of Rong Qing that he suspects that the young man in the barracks is the county lord of Qingrong? Or is it that the emperor is sure that the county lord of Qingrong is not recuperating in the mansion? Or is it that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has gone crazy and let his delicate and tender fiancée follow him into the barracks? Even if His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't say it, won't anyone else find out? The county lord of Qingrong is outstanding, and he will attract attention everywhere he goes, even if he is wearing men's clothes, it is easy for people to find out, right?"

Lu Dalang had met the county lord of Qingrong, although he was young, but because he had seen her when she was a child, Lu Dalang couldn't believe that the soft and glutinous little glutinous rice dumplings would go to the barracks to make gunpowder?

Lu Balang happened to hear Lu Dalang's words outside the study.

The lord of Qingrong County is in the barracks?

That delicately colored woman is obviously just a delicate and weak little lady, how can she be in the barracks?

"Da Lang, my father really doesn't know what the emperor meant by saying these words to me, he said those words as if he was saying them to himself, and he seemed to tell his father that the emperor only left his father alone, and his father was really terrified after hearing it. ”

Lu Dalang's gaze also became deep, "Even if Rong Qing is really the county lord of Qingrong, the county lord of Qingrong is a woman, although he cannot be an official, but he has merits, and the emperor can't do anything to the county lord of Qingrong." It's just that the county lord of Qingrong is a noble girl in the boudoir, and I am afraid that it will damage its reputation after the incident, and it will also have an impact on the lintel of the Yan family. ”

"None of this matters...... Lu Mengzheng paused, "The county lord of Qingrong and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are already engaged. ”

Lu Dalang was thoughtful, and seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say that there was anything wrong, so he could only look at his father in a daze.
