Jin Yang moved, and the prince secretly returned to the army.

He divided the army into two and marched all the way to the northwest, subduing the lost territory along the way and capturing the back road of the Daupa army in Daizhou.

All the way south through Hengzhou, along the way towards Jinyang. The order given to this way is to try to track down the Bajia army, and if you can destroy one or two armies, you will have military merits.

The war in the north has now entered a white-hot and is about to break out.

Ba Kunlin thought that he had a plan, and the elites of each department rushed towards Jinyang like fierce tigers.

The crown prince emptied Jinyang, leaving an empty city to lure him into the trap. Wu Zhengxiang led the cavalry guards to investigate the spies, and the shadow guards obeyed Wang Leyu's orders to haunt the darkness.

Jiang Chen watched the situation develop coldly. Even his subordinates did not know where his next move would go.

……

The river was windy, and the Luoshui wharf was crowded with moored boats. From the words of the people who disembarked and disembarked on the ship, they all revealed the nervousness and uneasiness of the war in the Northland.

Unlike the time when they attacked Tubo, the people in the capital had heard of the prestige of the Bajia army.

It is precisely because of such a battle-hardened army guarding the northern frontier that the Turks have never broken through the border since the previous dynasty.

And now, this army has actually pointed the spearhead at the capital and embraced the grandson of Prince Yong to the south, isn't it terrifying?

The emperor in the palace did not show up for a long time, the original prince was deposed, and the king of Qi could lead the army north after becoming the crown prince. All this has added a solemn atmosphere to Luoyang City.

After Feng Mingxian's defeat, Lin Xingchao escaped from the palace and lurked in Luoyang.

The news of the war in the north was flying all over the sky, Daizhou and Shuozhou were washed in blood, and the Bajia army was supported by all the people. These news were spread in the streets and alleys of the capital through the hands of Lin Xingchao.

Fortunately, the people of Beijing have a blind worship of Emperor Qinglong. It was determined that the emperor would definitely deal with the rebels of the Ba Jiajun, so he did not flee Luoyang City in large numbers.

In the midst of such a slaughter, a two-story ship without a flag slowly moored at the Luoshui Wharf.

Tu Manfen walked in front wrapped in a thick gray squirrel fur cloak, followed by several maids who were waiting with him, got off the boat, got into the carriage, and walked towards the city.

The costume of the Xiao cavalry guard was too eye-catching, and Feng Qi led his subordinates to make ordinary guard attire and protect them on both sides of the convoy. In the flow of people coming and going at the dock, their convoy was light and inconspicuous.

Entering the capital, the oppressive atmosphere became more and more obvious. Even when the convoy passed through Nanshi, it couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the past. The sounds of hawking along the street sounded a little panicked.

Xu Wanzhen quietly lifted the curtain and looked out. There are half fewer pedestrians on the street, and people are in a hurry and their faces are calm, completely losing the former elegance of Luoyang City.

Although the palace is busy, it is controlled by Queen Cao, but it is not chaotic. Every afternoon, Mr. Ning still wants to go to the palace to teach the princess.

She received news that Tu Manfen would arrive in Beijing today. cleaned up her yard in advance, but people entered the palace.

The carriage stopped outside the Hanging Flower Gate, and a mother-in-law greeted her attentively and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is back, and Mr. has to talk about it several times a day." ”

Glancing at the strange maids and guards behind her, she was slightly surprised. When Tu Manfen left Beijing, there were not so many people.

Tu Manfen stepped forward, blocked her gaze, and said, "The dart master invited in the north is tired of setting up a banquet in the front yard to reward." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly woke up, she had come back from the Northland. Isn't it dangerous that there is a war there? Hurriedly said: "The eldest lady said so, but the old slave was tormented, and it must have been arranged properly." ”

Xu Wanzhen followed behind Tu Manfen, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes into Tu Manfen's courtyard.

Yinping and Zhiyan took out their luggage and placed them. Zhiyan was really calm enough, and when she saw Xu Wanzhen pretending to be a maid, she didn't ask much, just do her part.

Entering the room, Tu Manfen's face was a little guilty, "Cousin, I have wronged you." "With Xu Wanzhen's identity, pretending to be a maid is indeed a grievance.

"What are you talking about? "There was a burning dragon in the house, and it was quite warm. Xu Wanzhen took off her cloak, looked back at her and said with a light smile: "I'm grateful that it's too late for your help." ”

Seeing that Tu Manfen was about to say more, Xu Wanzhen stepped forward and took Tu Manfen's hand, and said softly: "Between our sisters, don't see each other like this." Thank you for coming and going, I don't know how long it will be polite. ”

The boat is tiring, and the road is dusty.

The little maid in the courtyard came in with water, and Yinping and Zhiyan waited for the two of them to clean their faces and wash, and only after changing their homely clothes did they feel relaxed.

It was close to noon before the ship docked, and lunch was dealt with casually on the boat, and the stomach was hungry.

According to Xu Wanzhen's meaning, Tu Manfen asked her mother-in-law to clean up the banquet for Fengqi and others, but instead put them in the back.

However, Tu Manfen can understand the intention of this.

Feng Qi and the others were not their personal guards, but Xiao cavalry guards who ate imperial food. With their ability, it is really overkill to succumb to the duties of a guard.

escorted them all the way south, but it was because Wu Zhengxiang was really worried that something would go wrong with Xu Wanzhen, so he gave this order.

Such an elite guard, ordinary people can't afford to spend money. For public and private, it is also time to be hospitable.

In the inner courtyard, Tu Manfen asked Xu Wanzhen's opinion and asked Yinping to go to the kitchen to order two bowls of tomato omelette.

When the steaming noodles were served and smelled this familiar taste, Xu Wan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The sourness of the tomato and the aroma of the fried egg blend perfectly with the verdant chives. Such a simple ingredient results in a mouth-watering taste that is delicious.

But how long has it been since she tasted it?

The last time she ate it, it was when she cooked it for her younger brother in her previous life.

In that big, somewhat empty house, two people, two bowls of noodles, two pairs of chopsticks. The aroma of the noodles warms up the air.

Unfortunately, not long after that, she was brought to this world by the Electro Cloud Bracelet.

Roughly calculated, I haven't tasted this taste for three years. But Xu Wan's sincere feeling is like a world away.

Her eyes were a little moist, and she looked up at the sky outside the window, forcing back her tears.

"What's wrong?" Tu Manfen asked with concern, "But you can't get used to this taste?"

Xu Wanzhen softened her mind, shook her head lightly and said, "No, I'm just thinking, Yu'er doesn't know what to do at the moment." ”

Tu Manfen knew that it was Xu Wenyu who was tied up that day, which made her fall into the trap. The two sisters and brothers have a deep relationship, she has just returned to the capital, and it is also her duty to worry about him.

Thinking like this, she diverted the topic and said, "I have eaten this tomato noodle once or twice at Mr. Ning's place, and it is very delicious. I deliberately asked Yinping to find the kitchen to learn this craft, and occasionally came down to try it. ”

She picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”
