"What's wrong?" Looking at Duan Bailan's solemn expression, Liu Nianru couldn't help frowning, it seemed that something had happened.

"See for yourself." Duan Bailan sighed and handed Liu Nianru a heart.

Liu Nianru looked at Duan Bailan, who turned her head and didn't speak again, silently opened the envelope, and her hunch was confirmed.

The person who wrote this letter, Liu Nianru, is no stranger, it is Xiao Heng, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of the Da'an Dynasty, but the content in his heart is enough to make all the soldiers feel cold.

The general content of this letter is to tell Duan Bailan that he is the one who is responsible for escorting the grain, grass and military pay this time, and it is impossible for him to send these things to the destination.

On the way, all these things will be destroyed due to a fire, the treasury will be empty, and there will be no extra military rations, so let Duan Bailan ask for more blessings, or rather...... Wait for death.

The provocative meaning in the words was simply too obvious, and of course there was a sense of arrogance and condescension, Liu Nianru threw the letter directly on the ground after reading the letter.

"This dog thing should have killed him in the first place." In these days with the Northern Army, Liu Nianru likes this group of lovely soldiers. For this letter, Liu Nianru was of course indignant.

But now, Xiao Heng is simply angry, and he has sprinkled his anger against Duan Bailan on these Northern Expeditionary Army!

What's wrong with them!

"I know Xiao Heng, with his temperament, he would never dare to do such a thing. Now that he dares to do it, it shows that he must have a backer behind him. After waiting for a while, Duan Bailan said slowly.

"So, it was the Emperor who agreed to him doing this." Liu Nianru narrowed her eyes, and her dislike for the emperor obviously rose to another level.

"After I go back this time, I will never let him go." Duan Bailan said.

The Northern Army is his soldier, and he must be responsible for these people, which is not only a responsibility, but also a wordless commitment.

What's more, the ultimate goal of this plan is actually to deal with him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring the grain and grass back safely, and their plan will never succeed." Liu Nianru patted Duan Bailan on the shoulder.

She told Duan Bailan earlier, don't worry, I will advance and retreat with you.

"Okay." Duan Bailan held the hand on his shoulder and smiled gently.

Liu Nianru also smiled back.

I have to say that this scene is really heartwarming.

"It's not too early, I should go, wait for me to come back." Liu Nianru smiled, at this time, she was more like a protector.

Duan Bailan shook her head and smiled, but she still won Liu Nianru.

……

Liu Nianru left the frontier city with the fifty soldiers she had selected for the expedition to the north and walked the way they had come.

As the sun set, the shadows of these fifty-one people were stretched for a long time, and I have to say that there was still a tragic feeling.

The strong man is gone, and he will never return.

……

At night, Frontier City.

"Master, there is another letter, this time it was brought by the barbarian king."

Duan Bailan

Raised his eyebrows, and took the letter from Wang Xun's hand.

Open the envelope and pull out the letter and unfold it.

After reading, Duan Bailan rubbed her eyebrows.

"Master, what's wrong?" Wang Xun looked at Duan Bailan, slightly worried.

"See for yourself." Duan Bailan handed the letter to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun took the letter, and as he read the letter, his face became a little solemn.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do? Pick it up. People have already sent me a provocative letter, what else can I do? Or," Duan Bailan looked at Wang Xun, "Do you think your master doesn't dare to fight?" ”

"No, no." Wang Xun hurriedly waved his hand, he couldn't afford this charge.

"Okay, let's go, Chen Qin called, let's discuss." Duan Bailan smiled and didn't joke anymore.

"Yes." Wang Xun answered, and then turned around to find Chen Qin.

The letter sent by the barbarian king was not so much a provocation as a declaration of war, in which he said that the barbarians had gathered their forces and would attack the frontier city immediately in three days, hoping that Duan Bailan would hold out for a few more days and not retreat so early.

……

On the other side, Xiao Heng also set off from Jingshi with people, although he had already made plans, he still had to do what he should do.

The emperor generously allocated a lot of military salaries for Xiao Heng to send this time, and the people of Da'an were very happy for this move, because although Da'an was strong and the country was prosperous, but if he took out so much military salary at once, the treasury would not be rich immediately.

The people of Da'an are proud of their emperor's dedication to the frontier soldiers, and these days, many literati and writers have written a lot of articles and poems praising His Majesty the emperor, which have been widely circulated, and the emperor's voice among the people has suddenly risen a lot.

Of course, only Xiao Heng, His Majesty the Emperor and General Liu knew that those were only superficial, in fact, what Xiao Heng escorted was nothing more than a pile of stones and grass.

But what does it matter, the goal is achieved.

……

Liu Nianru's side.

"If we hurry up, we can reach our destination early tomorrow morning, and at that time, the big guys can have a good rest, so now we hurry up and hurry up." Liu Nianru said.

The Northern Army responded, and then hurried away.

When the morning light faded, everyone finally saw the obsidian gate again, glowing faintly in the morning light.

"We're here." Someone was pleasantly surprised, and everyone picked up speed again and set off towards the gate in front of them.

Soon, these fifty-one people came to the gates.

Liu Nianru looked at the bold word "Yaocheng" directly above the city gate, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart for a while.

Yao Jing led two people up and knocked on the door, but no one answered, and no one came to open the door for them at all.

Liu Nianru frowned, didn't you hear? It can't be good!

When I looked up, I could see the guards guarding the city standing on the city wall, saying that they didn't hear it

How can it be!

"I'll go in and see, you're waiting here for my news." Liu Nianru narrowed her eyes and made a decision.

"Miss Liu, I'll go with you." Yao Jing stood up, he still remembered that at that time, that dark and windy night, it was also Liu Nianru, who took him and his brothers to climb the city wall and sneak into Yaocheng to find an antidote for the Northern Army.

"No, I'll go in alone this time." Liu Nianru rejected Yao Jing's request.

"You are waiting for me here, if a day has passed and I have not returned, you decide for yourself." Liu Nianru said.
