Two days later, Xichen led 5,000 soldiers to Changyu Pass.

On the same day, Qing Dai and Zi Ni also set off from the capital to Changyu Pass in a wide carriage with their respective maids, escorted by a number of secret guards. Along the way, Zini and Qingdai got along very well, and when the two arrived at Nachang Yuguan, they were already called sisters.

The fighting at the border is already very tight, and the two sides have already fought several times, each with casualties. Although Xichen was busy commanding the army, he also ordered people to find a single courtyard in a secluded place in the city, and placed Qingdai and Zini in the courtyard. When he is not fighting, no matter how busy he is, Xichen will take the time to accompany Qingdai in this courtyard and talk to Zini by the way. The three of them get along, as if they are already husbands, wives and concubines, and they are harmonious.

When Xichen was busy, there were Qingdai, Zini and two maids in the courtyard, as well as a few servants who helped the cook, and several of Xichen's secret guards were secretly protecting these women. Because it was during the war, Xichen acted in a low-key manner, and others didn't know that the few people living in this courtyard were the family members of General Xichen.

During the day, Zini and Qingdai either chatted in the courtyard, or changed into the most ordinary clothes of a folk woman and went to the street to take a look. Although the war had started outside the city gate, because of General Xichen, the people in this Changyu Pass were still not flustered. After all, Xichen is the god of war in the Lankun Continent, and he has never lost a battle, and the common people believe that he will definitely win.

In the afternoon of this day, Xiaomei wanted to go to the west of the city to have a look, but Qingdai felt weak and had no energy to go out at all. Zi Ni let Xiaomei go out alone, and she stayed with Qing Dai's maid and accompanied Qing Dai to sit and embroider in the yard.

Looking at Qing Dai's blue and black eyes, Zi Ni knew that the reason why Qing Dai's body had become more and more tired recently was because the toxins in her body had begun to be active again. Xichen came three days ago, and secretly mentioned the matter of blood collection to Zini, and Zini promised to cut his wrists to take blood when he came next time.

Before Xiaomei came back, Qingdai had already gone back to her room and slept. After Zi Ni waited for Xiaomei to come back, she had a simple dinner with her, entered her room, closed the door and lay down and chatted.

"Girl, today I listened to those people chatting on the street and realized that it was the three princes who left the country to lead the troops this time." Xiaomei lowered her voice and whispered in Zini's ear.

"Who are the Three Princes?"

"The girl forgot? It's the dream concubine's sweetheart! ”

"Is that him? I thought it was the king of Yueli who personally brought his troops here. ”

"No, I heard that King Yueli has been in poor health since he agreed to the emperor's peace conditions that year. This time, it was the three princes who came with the army. Alas, it's a pity! ”

"What do you mean for me?"

"Girl, think about it, how young are these three princes, and what experience do they have in leading troops to fight? How is he an opponent for our generals? I think he's just here to die. ”

"Little beautiful girl, don't talk nonsense. Although he is young, how do you know that he can't beat him? I heard that the general was only 18 years old and became famous in the first war. ”

"Does the girl think he can beat him? Did the girl want him to defeat the general? Xiaomei was a little surprised.

"I didn't mean that." Zi Ni hurriedly explained, "I want to say that the two armies will fight, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose. Since King Yueli handed over an army of 400,000 to these three princes, he must not be a straw bag. ”
