Chapter 20 Visiting the Border

As planned, the Northern Qi rushed to the border as soon as the Queen Mother's funeral was over. At this time, the letter of Qingguo's refusal to marry had also been sent. General Lin did not rush to send the letter of state to the Northern Qi Palace, because he knew that the Northern Qi would arrive in a few days.

When the Northern Qi went out, they didn't bring a few people, and apart from the rest of the Northern Qi army and the palace people who stayed by their side on weekdays, they were only accompanied by flowers. There were also larger armies that came after a few days to recuperate, and the affairs of the court and politics were temporarily handled by the three chiefs and assistants.

The Northern Qi Dynasty also walked relatively slowly on this road, not the speed of the march, but more like going out to play. On the one hand, it was to wait for the army behind, and on the other hand, Northern Qi was also chatting with Hua Mian about fleeing for his life in those years.

Beiqi rode his own horse and walked side by side with Hua Mian.

"At that time, when my grandfather told me that I was the prince, I really didn't want to wake up. I refused to wake up in my sleep after gradually sorting out my life and what I was going through. ”

Flower face smiled, looking in the distant direction,

"At that time, Weichen carried you on his back, knowing that you were pretending to be asleep, but he was reluctant to wake you up."

Bei Qi smiled, and the two of them did not speak again.

Too much time has passed, and there is no trace of the places that I passed by back then. Although the two have walked this journey together, they are different memories. Beiqi may just remember the compact formation of that time, and the irritability of his mother and grandparents in the carriage. What the two of them remembered, it was indeed the responsibility they shouldered at that time and the love they had never spoken about for the Seven Girls.

For so many years, he has been staying by Beiqi's side for many reasons. Gratitude to Gong Zhu, expectations for Northern Qi, and love for the Seven Girls. Before the Seven Girls were hit by the arrow, Hua Yan never thought that this relationship was so important to him, and the moment he knew that the Seventh Girl fell behind him, he knew that he already had a place for that woman in his heart.

For the flower face, for the seven girls, there is love. There is also guilt. So he put all his energy in this life on Northern Qi, protecting him and assisting him.

By the time Northern Qi and Huayan arrived at the border, it had been a few days, and they had first found General Lin.

Coincidentally. General Lin is now living in the inn where Luping died.

So many years have passed, although the current inn is no longer secretly controlled by the prince of Yongchang back then, and the annex behind has also been expanded by the current owner of the inn.

When they arrived, it was already late at night, and General Lin had not been informed before. It was the owner of the inn who came out to greet him.

"Several. I'm sorry, but our hotel has been requisitioned by the government. ”

The boss came to open the door and said embarrassedly.

"You just go and inform the official who lives inside, and say that the master is here, and he will know."

Hua Mian replied like this, Bei Qi kept looking at the boss and was a little stunned. Hua Mian looked at Bei Qi's stunned appearance, not knowing what he was thinking, but when he saw the innkeeper inviting them in, he suddenly understood.

The owner of the shop also has two sons, one of whom is slightly older. At this time, he had already led the guards who followed outside to the backyard to release the horses, and there was a smaller one, who looked like he was ** years old, and was instructed by the innkeeper to go upstairs and call General Lin. Beiqi looked at the child's bouncing appearance and smiled slightly.

The flower face is also very warm. This picture is the same as their small hotel at that time, when the Northern Qi Dynasty was eight years old.

The innkeeper saw that the two people were looking at his youngest son who was going to the second floor, and said while pouring tea,

"I only took over the store about a decade ago. A woman with a man and a woman came and begged me to take her in, saying that her mother-in-law had just died and hoped that I would give her some money to bury her mother-in-law. It had been a few years since my wife died, and I took that woman in, not long after. And there is this little son. This kid is also my old man, but he is clever and likable. ”

Beiqi remembered that his grandfather would tell such and such stories to passers-by in the past, and he felt very warm.

He took the tea that the innkeeper had handed him and drank it. Hua Mian was a little surprised, because the suspicion of Northern Qi has been very serious over the years, and everything that enters the mouth is to be tasted, but at this time, he took the innkeeper's tea lightly. It seems that Northern Qi is in a good mood.

Just when Northern Qi was drinking tea, the little kid came down with General Lin.

General Lin didn't fall asleep, but just pretended to sleep, constantly thinking about the layout of the battle in his mind. He lived in the room where Lu Ping died, although so many years have passed, and the hotel has been renovated many times, but when General Lin came, it was still easy to find the room back then.

Now General Lin sleeps in this room, and he feels very warm.

"Wechen see the master."

"General Lin, please hurry up, you're welcome."

Under Chang Gui's recommendation, General Lin had already met with Northern Qi. The two often learn martial arts and get along very well. General Lin also once accompanied the Northern Qi out of the Northern Qi Palace, and every time the Northern Qi came out, the Northern Qi asked General Lin to call himself 'master', so when the child just said to General Lin, General Lin knew that the emperor had arrived.

Northern Qi helped General Lin up, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Before General Lin sent his troops, the Northern Qi had promised him that as long as he could win the battle, he would put the Empress Dowager to death and go to the southern border to find him.

The order of the Northern Qi Dynasty was that the funeral of the Queen Mother should be held in a low-key manner, so the border had not received any news that the Queen Mother had died. Therefore, although General Lin knew that Northern Qi would definitely find a way to kill the Queen Mother, and he also believed in Northern Qi's ability, he was still afraid that something would happen.

So even if Bei Qi looked at him with a smile at this time, he couldn't help but ask,

"Master, before Wechen leaves, what did you promise Wechen?"

Beiqi smiled and patted General Lin on the shoulder,

"Haven't I come!"

General Lin understood, the Queen Mother was indeed dead! He was so excited that he was about to kneel down and salute Beiqi, but Beiqi hurriedly grabbed him. The flower face also pulled General Lin to hurry up.

Although Beiqi didn't know, Chang Gui and Hua Mian both knew, although the Queen Mother also had the intention to kill Lu Ping, but before she could do it, she was preempted by Chunfu's mother-in-law. Therefore, Hua Mian has always felt that he is not happy with General Lin, and he is polite to him.

The innkeeper looked at this scene and knew that the people who came must be unusual, and when it was time to talk about things, he felt that it was inconvenient for him to be present, so he grabbed his little son and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones go and ask the old woman to make some supper and come over to you."

Then it was time to leave. Although he was forcibly dragged away by his father, the little child kept looking back at these people in the hall curiously.

General Lin asked someone to rearrange the room, and pulled Beiqi into his room. The two of them chatted for a long time, and Hua Mian was also listening, but there was nothing big about it, just some thrilling things that happened on the battlefield.

"General Lin, in a few days, I will also go to the battlefield to try it."

General Lin was a little embarrassed and didn't speak, and Northern Qi said again,

"Why, don't you believe in me? Besides, I still have Uncle Flower Face to protect me. ”

Only then did General Lin remember that the Northern Qi had defeated him many years ago when he had fought him, and the reason was that Hua Yan had taught him.

"Okay, your Majesty, if you want to try it, just try it. However, Wechen does not plan to announce your identity for the time being, this is also for your consideration. ”

"Yes, I promise you."

Just then, the proprietress brought supper. Hua Yan felt that the man was a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was.

When he settled Beiqi and was ready to sleep, he was still wondering who the woman was. Hua Lai has never seen many people in his life, and he thinks that the familiar face must not be the one he has seen in ordinary times, just in case he must remember it.

Finally, when he was about to fall asleep, he remembered. After they were discovered, when they escaped from the Northern Qi Palace and walked to the border, Gong Zhu once saved a woman who was about to starve to death and her old man and child. Although the proprietress has changed a little in appearance and temperament, it is still somewhat similar.

Thinking of this, the flower face can sleep with peace of mind, and I feel that it is not an important person.

The next day, General Lin went to the camp with Northern Qi. (To be continued.) )
