"Oh oh......" When Yan Zixi just wanted to say a few words, Xiao Jingcong had already disappeared in place.

……

Xiao Jingcong took out the note and looked at it carefully.

There were a few words written on the note, "Ten Mile Pavilion Outside the City, a ......" is a name that makes Xiao Jingcong eye-catching, Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is Xiao Jingcong's henchman who stayed on the northern border, commanding a part of the border guards, and suddenly returned to Beijing at this time, and he was in such a hurry to find himself, is there really a war in the north?

So after Xiao Jingcong received this secret letter, even Yan Zixi left it behind and rushed straight to the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

When Xiao Jingcong arrived at the Shili Pavilion, he found that the area around the area had been surrounded by iron cavalry.

Xiao Jingcong had just taken a few steps closer when he was discovered by those guards and stopped.

"Stop, who's who?"

Xiao Jingcong had a gloomy face, glared at the guard fiercely, and snorted in his mouth: "Presumptuous, don't you even know this king?" Saying that, Xiao Jingcong took out a waist card.

After the guard saw the waist card, he immediately saluted Xiao Jingcong respectfully.

"It turned out to be Xiao Wangye, and the small one is Xiao Wangye!"

"Excuse me, this king asks you, where is General Xiao Yan?"

"Back to the prince, General Xiao Yan is in the pavilion, please come with the little one."

With that, the guard led Xiao Jingcong to the pavilion.

Sure enough, there Xiao Jingcong met his good brother who had not seen him for two years-Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is tall, even if he is wearing casual clothes, he still can't hide the heroic spirit exuded from his body.

"Xiao Yan!"

Hearing Xiao Jingcong's familiar call, Xiao Yan turned around suddenly, and when he saw that it was that familiar face, Xiao Yan immediately ran over and had a big bear hug with Xiao Jingcong.

"Brother Xiao, it's really you!"

"It's me! It's been a long time, Xiao Yan, how are you doing? ”

As soon as the two brothers met, they each shushed and warmed up.

Xiao Yan told Xiao Jingcong about the border and his own situation in the past two years, and after a while, the joy of getting together reappeared with a trace of sadness.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, this time you suddenly went back to Beijing to meet me, did something happen at the border pass?"

It's finally time to come.

Hearing Xiao Jingcong ask, the smile on Xiao Yan's face stopped abruptly.

He stood up, let out a long sigh, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said to Xiao Jingcong.

"Brother Xiao, the border has been relatively calm in the past two years, but in recent months, it has suddenly changed...... There are often small conflicts, but these are suppressed by us. ”

Xiao Jingcong nodded and motioned for Xiao Yan to continue.

"Especially in the past few weeks, our secret agents have found out that the Northern Liang Kingdom is recruiting troops, and a large number of soldiers and horses have been secretly transferred to the border, and their hearts can be punished, so they have to guard against it!"

Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "Has the Northern Liang Kingdom recovered so quickly in the past two years?" How can it still recruit troops? ”

"I heard that Beiliang colluded with Yuanxia in the west, and Yuanxia also Chen Bing in the southwest, eyeing our Daxiao!" Xiao Yan slowly explained. happy

When Xiao Jingcong heard Xiao Yan's explanation, she immediately clenched her fists, and her resolute face was full of anger.

"Okay, you Beiliang, did you collude with Yuan Xia and want to subvert my Da Xiao? As long as this king is here, they will never be allowed to cross the border by half a step! ”

This sentence is not only for Xiao Yan, but also for Xiao Jingcong's oath to himself.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you have been dismissed by the emperor, and now you are at home, what is going on?"

Hearing Xiao Yan ask, Xiao Jingcong briefly told him what had happened before, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh for a while after listening to it.

"Does the emperor really want ......?"

Xiao Jingcong glanced up at Xiao Yan and glanced at him, Xiao Yan immediately closed his mouth in understanding.

After all, talking about the imperial court is a big crime of killing the head, and Xiao Yan still knows this in his heart.

"Brother Xiao, what now? If you weren't in charge of the overall situation, I'm worried that the brothers at the border would not be able to support it......" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said with a worried face.

Xiao Jingcong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Xiao Yan, since you have returned to Beijing, you must have had your own idea a long time ago, right?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and then replied to Xiao Jingcong: "Brother Xiao, I plan to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, explain to him the benefits of the border war, and let the imperial court prepare early, don't be caught off guard by Beiliang and Yuan Xia." ”

"Well, in that case, then I will also face the Holy ...... tomorrow."

Although Xiao Jingcong was ordered by the emperor not to go to the court before, this time it is a special situation, after all, the national disaster is current, and I believe the emperor will not blame him.

After discussing with Xiao Yan, Xiao Jingcong hurried back to the house.

Originally, Xiao Jingcong wanted to invite Xiao Yan to return home together, but Xiao Yan refused.

After all, there are many people in the capital, and if someone catches the handle, it will not be good to settle down.

……

Xiao Jingcong has been keeping a calm face since he returned to the General's Mansion, still thinking about going to court tomorrow, and then he didn't even say hello to Yan Zixi, and went into the study, preparing for tomorrow's recital.

At this time, Yan Zixi walked in with a bowl of freshly cooked shredded noodles with vegetables and pork.

"Jingcong, I cooked some noodles for you, can you finish eating the noodles first and then get busy?" Yan Zixi smiled and brought the noodles to Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong raised her head and smiled indulgently at Yan Zixi, "Xi'er, don't you want to ask where your husband went this afternoon?" ”

Yan Zixi hooked the corners of her lips, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a faint smile: "Xi'er doesn't ask." ”

"Why?"

"Because what Jing Cong wants to say, she will tell Xi'er, so Xi'er doesn't need to ask." Yan Zixi said confidently.

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she swept away her previous boredom, nodded Yan Zixi with her hand, and shook her head slightly, "Xi'er, Xi'er, you really have you." You really know what a husband is! ”

"That's, I'm your concubine, I don't know you, who understands you?"

"Alas......" Xiao Jingcong stopped smiling and sighed, "Xi'er, do you know that the person I saw this afternoon is a good brother of her husband, General Xiao Yanxiao, who commands the border guards. ”

"General Xiao? Then why did he suddenly return to Beijing if he didn't guard the border well...... Could it be that there is a change in the border pass, and there is really a war? Yan Zixi had heard Xiao Jingcong mention it before, and she suddenly came to her senses.

Xiao Jingcong nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, that's why I can't do anything for my husband." Tomorrow, General Xiao Yan will go to the court, and his husband will also go when he arrives, hoping to persuade the emperor to pay attention to this matter. ”

Yan Zixi frowned slightly when she heard this, "Jing Cong, didn't the emperor issue a holy decree that you should not be allowed to go to the court for three months?" If you rush to the court, won't you disobey the emperor's orders? ”
