After Zhao Xin entered Beisuzhou, he inquired about the mansion of the Northwest Military Marshal's Mansion.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first." Qingxi commanded.

"Aren't we going to the Shuaifu?" The other three had questions.

"No, now that the war is so tense, it's not appropriate for us to go now. I'm not here to cause trouble! ”

Everything in Beisu seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, except for the constant stream of patrols passing through the streets.

Zhao Xin found a small inn, everyone settled down, the old man looked at the outfit and style of the group of four, and naturally paid extra attention, telling the city to be curfew after night due to the war, and to be more vigilant and careful on weekdays.

"There is a war in Beisu, why don't you shopkeepers temporarily close the shop and leave?" Qingxi asked with a smile. "I see that there seem to be a lot of people coming and going in this city, and everyone hasn't moved to the mainland for a while?"

The guy replied with a smile: "Originally, our family was also thinking about whether to leave temporarily to avoid it, and there are people in the city who have such plans!" However, after His Royal Highness King Heng came down, many people stayed and didn't leave! ”

"Why? Your Highness won't let you go! Moon Shadow asked, puzzled.

Qingxi casually took the teapot and poured a glass of water, quietly listening to the man's words.

"That's naturally not, His Highness posted an announcement on the first day, saying that as long as everyone wants to leave, they can leave at any time."

"Then why?" Moon Shadow couldn't wait to interrupt.

The old man smiled: "The Northwest Army is not only the iron wall guarding the northwest of my Dacheng, but also the guardian of the vast land of the Western Regions. With the Northwest Army here, Beisu will not be chaotic. What's more, His Royal Highness King Heng also came, saying that the imperial court was absolutely sure to beat Dan Da with a disgraced face. I remember that when His Highness went to Gaofan to return from a victorious battle, everyone greeted the victorious return of the Northwest Army, and they all went to the street to see. His Royal Highness also stayed in front of the Shuaifu for a long time, chatting with everyone, saying that Beisu is our hometown for generations, and as a member of Dacheng, even if Danda commits again, he will take the lead, and he will fight until the last moment, and will not give up his homeland, even if he lives and dies with Beisu! I can't remember what His Highness said, but that's probably what he meant. You say, "That's it, who's going to go?" You have to worry about your livelihood wherever you go, don't you? This is our roots, and we can't walk when we're old! Right here, it's really here, and it's not afraid! Moreover, he could not enter the city. "The more the old man talked, the more excited he became.

Qingxi took a sip of tea and asked, "Uncle, what is the situation outside the North City now?" Did His Highness go into battle in person? ”

The old man frowned: "About seven days ago, he suddenly came with a large army, and the garrison was outside the north city gate, shouting every day, but our side ignored them, and no one responded." Anyway, the north gate was closed, and he couldn't attack it, so he confronted each other like this. I see, Danda will definitely not be able to attack. Look, the weather outside is freezing and snowing from time to time. I saw it go back in a few days. It's okay! I think you're here to do something, don't worry! The old man looked at the beautiful boy in front of him as if he had never been far away, and he comforted him a few more words. This news of His Highness, how can we people know it clearly! Speaking of which, I haven't seen His Highness in front of the Shuaifu for a while. In the past, His Royal Highness has come out to walk the streets two or three times, and sometimes chatted with us people, which is really kind! He said excitedly, and his voice was much higher unconsciously: "Your Highness still loves the princess very much." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked at Qingxi.

Qingxi coughed lightly twice uncomfortably, and Moon Shadow hurriedly asked with star-like eyes, "What do you say?" Uncle, tell me about it. ”

The old man laughed and teased: "You young noblemen also like to listen to this? ”

Moon Shadow tilted her head: "I love to listen, I love to listen." ”

"I remember that my mother-in-law said that His Royal Highness had gone to the jade shop, and the owner of the jade shop said that His Royal Highness deliberately went to pick out the jewelry that seemed to be in the style of magnolia flowers, saying that the princess liked it. Do you know, the jade produced by Beisu is the first-class high-quality jade in Dacheng, and it is very rare in the palace. However, there is no ready-made jade shop, saying that His Royal Highness ordered a hosta at a high price, in the style of magnolia flowers. ”

"Magnolia?" Moon Shadow jumped to her feet and said, "Isn't it Xin Yihua." ”

Qingxi glanced at her, and she immediately smiled.

Qingxi instructed her to give the old man some money, and the old man happily told them not to go out at night and then exited the room.

Li Han shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "I didn't know that the sixth master would also pity the jade." ”

Qingxi smiled, although he didn't speak, his hand touched his chest naturally.

On that day, the jade pendant he gave her was falling on her chest, and the jade was warm.

"Alright, you settle down, and I can go to our old man. You can also find out what the current situation of the sixth master is. Li Han thought about it and asked Qingxi seriously: "Liuniang, don't you really go directly to the Shuai Mansion to have a look?" ”

"If he's all right, I don't have to show up, but I make him worry."

"It's fine." Li Han nodded in agreement: "Then I'll go to see my old man first, and don't mention that you have arrived in Beisu for the time being." ”

Qingxi was very grateful to her for accompanying her all the way, but she also knew that her character was not like to be polite, so she didn't say any more words of gratitude.

Li Han tied up the big hat, and when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Also, I will also quickly send a message to the Tanhualang in your family, saying that you have arrived safely, so that he will not worry." ”

Qingxi didn't expect this layer yet, "There is labor." ”

Zhao Xin wanted to go and find out some news by himself, but Li Han was gone, and he couldn't leave for the safety of Qingxi and Moon Shadow.

Qingxi watched Moon Shadow busily pack her luggage, and she still couldn't calm down. Although Li Han should be able to bring back the news soon, she has already worked hard to get to Beisu, and she doesn't want to wait even in these few short hours.

Maybe, probably, maybe, she can find Zeng Qidao?

She looked out the window at the sky, and it was already dark and blue. Li Han will not be able to come back tonight if he leaves.

She got up and said decisively: "After cleaning up, let's go to Shuaifu!" ”

"To see Your Highness?" Moon Shadow asked

"No, I'm looking for Brother Zeng!"

When the three of them left the inn, they were reminded by the guy that they should go and return quickly, and there would be a curfew in the city.

The Northwest Marshal's Mansion is not difficult to find, and everyone in the city knows the location. When the three of them rode to the gate of the Shuai Mansion, Qingxi thought about it and asked Zhao Xin and Yueying to go to find someone, and for the time being, he said that he sent the two of them to ask for news, so that if Xiao Yizheng was fine, then he would not have to expose his whereabouts.

"Do you know what this place is? Let's go! "As the command post of the front line, the Northwest Army Marshal's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the soldiers guarding it will drink before Zhao Xin can speak to Moon Shadow.

Moon Shadow took out Ling's waist card: "Annoying report, let's see General Zeng!" ”

The young soldier took the waist card, looked at it for a long time, and thought that there was a special explanation on it, unless the state of combat readiness is a military token of the imperial court, nothing else can be released, but the Ling Mansion is not small, how should I deal with the waist card of the Ling Mansion? If you look at the two people in front of you again, it doesn't seem to be an idle person! "Wait a minute, I'll ask for instructions!"

Soon, the young soldier came out, followed by a man, Qingxi in the distance looked at it from afar, it was not the man with a weak temperament at the gate of the city. Qingxi was naturally a little worried when he saw him, the person in front of him knew that Moon Shadow was his daughter's body, and this was the trouble.

"It turns out that the girl is here to find General Zeng on an errand?" He watched as Moon Shadow went straight in.

"What is the name of this official?" Zhao Xin asked.

"Under the surname Xie!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"There is no official position in the subordinate." He interrupted Zhao Xin's words.

It's strange, "What should I call it?" Zhao Xin asked again.

"Xie Zhi, Zi Xingjian."

"Gongzi Xie, may I ask if General Zeng is in the mansion? I'm in a hurry to see him! ”

"Can I know the identities of the two? After all, you can't be let in without knowing anything! Also, you should have another girl. ”

Moon Shadow glanced at him angrily, feeling that the son in front of him was really difficult.

Zhao Xin thought about it and was about to take out the palace waist card. In the distance, the clatter of a group of military horses could be heard.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, there's a wounded! Danda army sneak attack! ”

Xie Zhi took two steps forward, alert.

The soldiers outside the Zhizhou Mansion immediately retreated and quickly reorganized the troops. Originally, the crowd on the avenue in front of the door immediately trotted away in an orderly manner.

"Two, you can't let you in now! I'm afraid General Zeng won't have time to come to see you two at this moment, so you better go back first, or you might as well tell me where you are staying, and I'll tell General Zeng later! ”

Zhao Xin and Moon Shadow flashed to the side, and saw that there were soldiers entering the Shuai Mansion one after another, and several seriously injured wounded people were carried in on stretchers, and the two of them were not able to hold on.

Zhao Xin opened his mouth and said: "We live in the Chunyue Inn in the third archway. In fact, it is also some family affairs, so the tired son told the general that there is no need to do it, thank you. Moon Shadow bowed slightly, in gratitude.

Xie Zhi didn't have time to think about it before turning around and going back to the palace.

Moon Shadow hurriedly returned to Qingxi's side and urged, "Let's hurry back to the inn!" It's not safe to stay outside! She nervous as soon as she heard the sneak attack.

Qingxi gently patted Moon Shadow's shoulder: "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" You didn't hear the guys say that the Danta army has been clamoring for days, but no one is paying attention to them. Sneak attack? She chuckled: "The walls of this Beisu are as solid as a rock, and it is a cold winter and icy weather, can it be successful by a sneak attack?" ”

Moon Shadow nodded slightly, "But those wounded just now?" ”

Qingxi also frowned lightly: "Maybe there are other actions?" ”

Zhao Xin reminded: "I don't think we will even see Major General Zeng for a while, so the princess will go back to the inn first." ”

Qingxi was worried, "Did the guy at the inn say that he hasn't seen His Highness recently?" ”

"Yes."
