In the palace, Xue Shizi worriedly accompanied the saint to speak: "Ruowu and Sihua are both Xidu nobles, and I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to leave them to study in the capital." This time, the Xidu delegation entered Beijing, and there were many things that happened openly and secretly. Jiu'er... She has been hiding at home and not daring to go out, because the fifth brother often feasts Xidu people, she simply avoided Changqingguan for a few days, this month can suffocate her, the Xidu mission team just left the front foot, she slipped out to play on the back foot. You also know her character, and she will not stay in the house all the time. Seeing that in two months, we will be married, how can we hide it again. Ruowu and Sihua have seen her personally, and if they recognize her, I am afraid that it will be another big turmoil. ”

The saint nodded and said, "Their customs are very different from ours, and it is indeed a lot of risk to let them stay. Han Shoufu means that if there is one of them, two of them can naturalize us, and they will get twice the result with half the effort when they go back in the future, which is much easier than us forcing them to change their habits. The children have already set a rule for them, and the people who stay to study this time can only leave one guard for the nobles, and everyone is the same for the servants, so they can only leave a small servant and a groom. If one of them doesn't let them stay, it's not good, if something happens, I'm afraid that they will have to negotiate again. I don't have much to worry about these people, but the few caravans they brought over this time are mixed with dragons and snakes, and you should pay more attention to them. ”

Xue Yu didn't want to say more after hearing this, after all, this matter is a good thing for the imperial court, the two sides have had more exchanges, and it is easy to negotiate and accommodate anything in the future, but it is not necessarily necessary to meet each other in arms.

Seeing that he was still very uneasy, the saint laughed and teased him, "I heard people say that there is an area around Yingzhong. When they get married, they have to cover their faces with a hijab, and when they enter the new house, the bridegroom picks them with a weighing rod, and the people who are watching the ceremony outside cannot see the bride. Miss Xia is from Fengxiang. It makes sense with the customs of their hometown. ”

Xue Yu listened to it and thought in his heart: "This is not a lost method, and it is very interesting to listen to." Then he said goodbye to the saint and said: "In this case, Weichen is thinking, why don't I take a few people to Xiaoyanling early tomorrow morning to do some things first." When you go, all things will be in order. ”

The saint was also young, so he naturally knew that he was trying to pretend to be a public and private person, but Xue Yu followed him since he was a child. At that time, he was the most taboo king in the imperial court. It is difficult to protect himself, and his future is uncertain, but Xue Yu has never had a different heart. The saint couldn't help but have a little more love and trust in him. I cherished it more than my own children, so I smiled.

Xue Yu quickly returned to the house in the east of the city, and the first thing he did was to ask Qiao Mu to clean up his things: "Why do you have to stay for seven or eight days, and pick up two gorgeous clothes or something." Two handy ones. Prepare a few more. I couldn't help but secretly calculate: "When the time comes, I will persuade her again, maybe she can stay for a few more days." She loves horseback riding, and we will share a ride ......."

He thought of joy in his heart, and couldn't help but be full of spring breeze, and proudly sent Dong'an to the camp outside the city to gather his personal guards, so that they would wait outside the city early tomorrow morning: "Then let Miss Xia also see her majesty." ”。 Xue Yu saw that everything was settled, so he lay on the couch with Erlang's legs crossed and happily thought in his heart: "This time I will listen to her and not quarrel with her." See what else she can do. There was no one her brother staring at there, and maybe she would be happy. It's not just me who touches my little hands......" I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about it.

Qiao Mu was busy unpacking the boxes and packing the baggage. After running back and forth a few times, he was about to prepare everything, and when he returned to the house, he saw Xue Shizi shaking his legs, smiling very ambiguously, so he couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "Lord Shizi, you don't have to worry, our guards have all seen blood on the battlefield, no matter how good the little girls brought by Miss Xia are good at their fists and feet, they are also embroidered pillows, where is our opponent." ”

Xue Yu was thinking about it beautifully in his heart, and when he heard the words with such a heavy killing smell, he couldn't help but say angrily: "The little girls' fists and embroidered legs are also worth worrying about, even if you give them two punches, it's not like tickling." ”

Qiao Mu was choked and speechless, tilted his head and thought about it, "What the master said is also right." Then he changed the subject: "Master, hurry up and have dinner, tomorrow will be early ......."

I didn't want Xue Yu to sit up suddenly, and said in a pale voice: "Oh no! ”

Qiao Mu hurriedly walked over and said, "But I forgot something." ”

Xue Yu squinted his eyes, waved his hand and shouted: "Quick, quickly send someone to the camp, let's go!" ”

Qiao Mu looked at the sky outside the window, and couldn't help but persuade: "It will take three or four hours to go to Xiaoyanling, let's set off now, I'm afraid that before half of the road is reached, it will be dark......"

I don't want Xue Yu waved his hand and said, "You go and call Bei Ming immediately, and Nan Yu come in." ”

After a while, two little men wearing arrow sleeves quickly followed Qiao Mu in, and Xue Yu explained in a deep voice: "Qiao Mu will prepare horses, Nan Yu, you will personally go to the camp to inform Dong'an that the plan has changed, and let them rush to the south of the city immediately to standby." Beiming, you call in the little guy sent out to spy on the Xidu people, I have something to ask him. ”

But after a cup of tea, Beiming brought in a black and thin little guy, and the little guy saluted, blushed and said; "This afternoon, the people of Xidu, who don't know what is going on, suddenly became interested, saying that they were going to hunt, and about eight or nine people went out of the city to the south."

Xue Yu's heart couldn't help but sink, and he squinted and asked, "Who are the people who are out of the city?" ”

The little guy said: "It's their little prince Sihua and the young master of the Kexin tribe, Ruowu, who each brought three or four followers. We sent Ma Liu and Qian San to follow. After the little guy said that, he looked at Xue Yu's face worriedly, and saw that his face was sinking like water, so he continued: "Xidu people like to hunt, and they have to go out every three or five times. This time it looked no different than usual. ”

Where was Xue Yu still in the mood to pay attention to him, thinking in his heart: "Dead girl, what is this going to do." Look at me when I get to Xiaoyanling, how to clean you up. The previous plan to accompany the careful one had long been left behind, so he immediately got a rope to tie Miss Xia to himself, and hurriedly beckoned Qiao Mu and the others: "Are you ready?" You guys follow me, and we're going to go. ”

Fortunately, these people had also fought with him before, and in the blink of an eye, they were fully equipped, but with a stick of incense, a team of men and horses left the city. When it was dark, Xue Yu saw dozens of his guards waiting in line.

Dong'an is Xue Yu's personal servant, looking at Xue Yu's momentum on horseback from afar, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted him, not wanting Xue Yu to wave his hand at him, as if telling him to rush forward immediately, don't come over to meet him again, his heart couldn't help sinking, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head and led people to run slowly forward on both sides, and when Xue Yu and others came up, except for the sound of horses' hooves, the two groups of people and horses had no sound, and soon converged in one place.

At this time, Dong'an got closer, secretly glanced at Xue Yu's face, couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: "I was still beaming in the afternoon, how could I be so overcast that my face can drip water after a while." ”

After a while, the sky darkened, and Dong'an hurriedly arranged a few equestrian good ones to lead the way with torches in front.

Xue Yu was full of worries, and suddenly thought that Miss Xia had a lot of guards around her, and she didn't necessarily suffer a loss, and suddenly she was afraid that Miss Xia would rely on her strength and rush out regardless of it. After running all the way, he thought about it all the way, and he scared himself into a cold sweat one after another, and secretly thought in his heart: "I'm afraid that I will have to tie her to my side in the future, otherwise, if I am scared a few times like this, I will really be scared to death." ”

Dong'an looked for a gap and glanced at Qiao Mu, both of them slowed down, Dong'an saw that no one was paying attention, and hurriedly asked quietly: "Did something happen after I left?" He thought to himself: "The prince has this temperament, if he is in a hurry to see Miss Xia, it is also possible, but his face is so murderous now, where is the spring color of his fiancée at night, it looks like a spare gang going out to seek revenge and provoke quarrels." ”

When Qiao Mu heard this, he replied aggrievedly: "It's really nothing, and when I come back, I happily let me pack my luggage and lie there dreaming by myself.......

Dong'an frowned and glared at him, coughed heavily, and Qiao Mu pouted, pursed his lips and hurriedly said: "Later, I didn't know what was going on, and suddenly said that I wanted to set off immediately." ”

Dong'an scratched his head, frowned and thought to himself, "This is not right. ”

Seeing the two of them cooing in a low voice, Bei Ming also slowed down, and Dong An hurriedly waved his hand to let the others go up. Beiming approached, and said in a low voice: "Before coming out, I heard that the Xidu people had left the south city gate, and from then on, my face was not very good-looking. ”

At this time, even Dong'an's expression was not good, and he hurriedly urged the horse to follow Xue Yu's side, looking around vigilantly. ran like this until the third watch, and Xue Shizi and the others arrived at Xiaoyanling. Xue Yu didn't dare to be careless, and was not in a hurry to go up the ridge, so he let four or five pairs of spies out first.

Dong'an became more and more uneasy in his heart, and secretly thought: "Isn't this just a posture of arranging troops, could it be that the people of Xidu really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to come to meet Miss Xia in our territory?" Thinking like this, I couldn't help but look up the slope, Xiaoyanling is not high, but because it is dark, I can't see the situation of the horse farm at this time.

Looking back, Xue Yu also looked solemn, holding the saddle and stepping on the stirrup, looking up the mountain, and when he saw Dong'an looking over, he asked in a deep voice: "Why is it so dark over there in the racecourse, there is no light." ”

Just as he was looking anxious, several pairs of spies who went out ran back: "There is no movement on the mountain." ”

"There is no ambush on the left flank."

"There was no ambush on the right flank either."

Xue Yu sat on the horse with a heavy buttocks, and thought to himself, "Is it really that I am thinking too much?" Then he thought, "This is not right, if everything is fine, why is there no light on the mountain, not even a torch?" ”

Dong'an thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Miss Xia deliberately arranged it like this, ambushing people on the mountain and waiting for us... Wait for Wu and Sihua to take the bait. ”

Xue Yu thought secretly: "This is also possible. (To be continued......)
