After the convoy of the Bailiao Kingdom left Tiandu City, it went all the way to the northwest, this time the team of Bailiao Kingdom came to greet more than 100 people, plus the hundreds of royal forest troops led by Xu Ke, the mighty group of people looked very spectacular, but the speed of the march also slowed down, until twilight came, they only arrived at Zhunan Town, which is adjacent to Tiandu City.

Because someone had already informed the post house in Zhunan Town first, when the convoy arrived, the director of the post house had already led everyone to wait at the door for a long time, and after a period of greetings, everyone settled down in the post house.

When they came out of Tiandu City, it was almost noon, so everyone's lunch was just a little dry food on the way, even Xiao Nansheng was no exception, and finally settled down at this time, and the dinner was naturally more sumptuous, so the group sat down in the lobby of the post house and waited for the dinner to be served.

Qu Wurong sat in the car all day, and thought about a lot of things restlessly, and after getting out of the car at this time, he only felt dizzy and had no appetite, so he went back to his room to rest.

Listening to the report of the palace maid sent to serve her, Xiao Nansheng frowned slightly, but did not say anything.

He could understand Qu Wurong's back and melancholy about leaving her hometown, and he also understood that she would have a lot of resentment about her behavior in her heart, so he didn't bother her all day, and when he heard that she didn't have dinner, he just raised his hand to call Xu Tianming to his side and whispered something to him.

After listening to this, Xu Tianming nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked straight to Xu Ke's table, and conveyed to Xu Ke what his lord had just said.

Hearing his words, Xu Ke pondered for a moment and replied, "I know, I will persuade her." ”

"Then there is Lao Xu in charge." Xu Tianming, who finished speaking, didn't linger long, turned back to his desk, and nodded lightly at Xiao Nansheng, who was looking at him.

Xiao Nansheng retracted his gaze, lowered his head and continued to eat.

On the other side, Xu Ke solved the meal in front of him as quickly as possible, then stood up and walked in the direction of the kitchen, and after a while, he knocked on the door of Qu Wurong's room with the specially prepared meal in the kitchen.

When the knock on the door sounded, Qu Wurong was sitting on the edge of the table in a daze, and when she heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then put down her right hand holding her chin, stood up and opened the door, "Commander Xu?" You're ......."

"Mother, it's time for dinner." Xu Ke walked into the room as he spoke, putting the food in his hand on the only table in the room, "I heard that you haven't eaten lunch, I'm afraid you should be hungry at this time." ”

Qu Wurong stood by the door and didn't move, quietly watching his movements, "I don't have an appetite and don't want to eat." ”

"You have to eat some." As if he had expected her to say this, Xu Ke said unhurriedly, "The emperor ordered his subordinates to protect the concubine Niangniang, not just to protect the concubine from being harmed by thieves, even if he was just hungry and thin, his subordinates would have no way to explain to the emperor when they went back." ”

Hearing him mention Shen Wu'an, Qu Wurong was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyelids to hide the true emotions that flashed in his eyes, "Anyway, I won't see him again in the future, how can he know if he is fat or thin?" ”

"Is that really what the mother thinks?" Xu Ke didn't answer her words, but asked rhetorically.

There seemed to be other meanings hidden in his question, and Qu Wurong couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, "What does Commander Xu mean by this?" "Isn't what she just said wrong?

Seeing her dazed look, Xu Ke couldn't help but chuckle, "The world is fickle, although today the noble concubine Niangniang is separated from the emperor and the little prince, but there may not be a day of reunion in the future, Niangniang has always been smart, how can such a simple thing not be figured out?" ”

After listening to his words, Qu Wurong was silent for a moment before asking, "Did the emperor ask you to tell me this?" ”

Xu Ke shook his head gently, "Before leaving, the emperor only instructed his subordinates to protect the concubine Niangniang, and the other words were not specially conveyed to his subordinates, but the subordinates can see that the emperor's feelings for Niangniang are still the same as always, as long as Niangniang also does not change her original intention, I believe that the time of reunion is just around the corner." ”

"The emperor shouldn't just let you be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but also make you an official!" After listening to his words, Qu Wurong couldn't help but quip, I have to say that after listening to what he said just now, his mood was much better, "No matter what happens in the future, I still want to thank you today." ”

"Mother's words are serious!" Seeing that everything that should be said had been said, and the people in front of him had also listened to his persuasion, Xu Ke was ready to retire, "Then the subordinates will not bother Niangniang, and please rest early after the meal, and I will have to hurry early tomorrow morning." ”

Qu Wurong nodded, "I know, Commander Xu will also rest early." ”

After he left, Qu Wurong sat down at the table again, the few meals in front of her were her favorite food, I think Xu Ke specifically asked her preferences before leaving the palace, and at this time he was much more cheerful than he said, not as depressed as just now, Qu Wurong finally felt that his stomach that had not eaten for a day sang an empty city plan, so he picked up chopsticks and simply filled his stomach, and then went to bed to rest.

From Tiandu City to Bailiao Kingdom, if it is a fast horse, it will only take about ten days, but due to the large number of convoys, slow travel, and everyone is not in a hurry, so this road stops and stops, and has been walking for more than half a month before finally arriving at the border city of Daliang and Bailiao Country - Xiangcheng.

Qu Wurong sat in the chariot, leaning on the window and looking at the scenery outside, this place is far away from Tiandu City, so the customs here are also much different from Tiandu City, the most significant thing is the architecture and people's dress here, if it weren't for Qu Wurong who had heard of the customs here before coming here, I am afraid that I can't help but be surprised at this time.

The houses here are not made of blue bricks and red tiles like Tiandu City, and most of the walls are mud mixed with gravel, and the thick layer looks quite strong; And the people walking on the street are also dressed differently from Tiandu City, especially the women, most of their faces are covered with cloth towels, revealing only a pair of black eyes.

The convoy only stayed in the post house in Xiangcheng for one night, and then set off for Bailiao Kingdom, but after traveling for half a day, the convoy suddenly stopped.

Qu Wurong was holding her chin with her hand to enjoy the scenery outside the car, and when she noticed that the chariot had stopped, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: when she set off from Xiangcheng in the morning, she listened to the two Bailiao palace maids who served her beside her, saying that she would be able to reach Bailiao today, why did she suddenly stop when she hadn't walked long?

Just when she was puzzled, she saw Xu Ke, who had been leading the team in front, driving his horse to the front of the chariot, Qu Wurong asked out loud: "Commander Xu, why did you stop?" Is something going on? ”

"It's fine." Xu Ke said as he turned over and dismounted, stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction he came from just now, "The front is the territory of Bailiao Kingdom, Lord Xiao said that he has sent an army to wait in the town not far ahead, and his subordinates can only escort Niangniang here." ”

Hearing his words, Qu Wurong was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that Xiao Nansheng would not allow a group of armed people like the Imperial Forest Army to enter his country casually!

"It's been hard work along the way!"

"Niangniang is serious, this is the duty of subordinates." Xu Ke didn't dare to take credit, and his words were full of humility, "There is still a distance from here to the capital of Bailiao Kingdom, Niangniang should take care of herself!" ”

"I will." Qu Wurong nodded, "You also take care!" ”

The two of them said goodbye for a while, and Xu Ke took his men to turn back towards the road they came, while Qu Wurong's chariot followed the team of Bailiao Kingdom and continued to drive forward.

When they arrived at the first town of the Bailiao Kingdom, Anli Town, the sun had just risen to the middle of the sky, as Xu Ke said before leaving, as soon as they arrived at Anli Town, the army of the Bailiao Kingdom greeted them, and it seemed that there were still a lot of people, and the formation after the convoy converged was even more spectacular than when Xu Ke and they didn't leave!

Since it was lunch time, Xiao Nansheng did not let the convoy continue to rush immediately, but decided to stop for lunch first, and then continue to march towards the capital.

Since listening to Xu Ke's persuasion last time, Qu Wurong did not let himself continue to be immersed in the sadness of parting, but cheered up and seriously calculated the future.

Xu Ke is not wrong at all, although she is now forced to leave her hometown and marry in another country, but this does not mean that she must spend her future life in a foreign country, she must find a way to get out of the current situation, and then return to Daliang to reunite with Shen Wu'an and her son.

After making up her mind, she no longer can't get along with herself, she eats well when it's time to eat, and rests when it's time to go to bed, after all, only when she has enough spirits can she plan for the future.

Therefore, when she heard the palace maid who was waiting next to her come to spread the word that the lord of the country had decided to set off after lunch in Anli Town, she did not raise any objections, but stepped out of the car as usual, and followed the two palace maids towards the restaurant where they were eating.

This is her first appearance in Bailiao Country, and the people of Anli Town have long heard that the head of their country is going to Daliang to marry a new wife.

Listening to the discussion from not far away, Qu Wurong's face did not show any displeasure, she knew that those people were just curious, but the leader of the soldiers in charge of the guard saw that the people were about to block the road, and hurriedly asked his men to disperse them.

Xiao Nansheng and the others had already taken their seats in the restaurant, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw her come in, because on this way, unless they were going to enter the post house to rest at night, Qu Wurong never left the chariot for half a step, and even the lunch was sent to the chariot, which was the first time she showed her face in front of everyone.

The others were also surprised, and they all looked at Qu Wurong who had just entered the door, but Qu Wurong glanced around the lobby as if he didn't notice everyone's gaze, and finally fixed on Xiao Nansheng's body.

Before this, Qu Wurong only glanced at Xiao Nansheng a few times with the peripheral vision of her eyes, and she was not very impressed with him, but at this moment, she recognized him from the crowd very easily, and after taking that look, she walked straight towards him.
