The grand farewell banquet was finally over, and it was finally time to leave, Qin Duan packed up his mind and left the mansion with some reluctance. The arrangements have been arranged, in order to strengthen all aspects of intelligence and information work in the imperial capital, Qin Duan also set up a special intelligence agency in the imperial capital, which is under the control of Deng Xian, and the specific work is in charge of Bao Xuecheng, who graduated from the Northwest Military Academy majoring in intelligence, and Xiao Willy will return to the northwest with Qin Dui, Qin Duan hopes that he can enter the Northwest Military Academy for further study, and he attaches great importance to Xiao Weili's talent in intelligence. Charlotte naturally followed Qin Dui to leave, although the relationship between the two was not clear, but Qin Dui was used to Charlotte's culinary taste, and even Wei and Li's second daughter were full of praise for Charlotte's cooking skills.

After holding a grand engagement ceremony with the seventeenth princess, seeing Angel who was a little lost and sad, Qin Dui secretly made an appointment with Duke Marco, the patriarch of the Huey family, and officially proposed that he hoped to enter into a marriage contract with Angel, Duke Marco naturally agreed, and Angel was also overjoyed, and the two sides exchanged tokens according to the habits of the Great Qin people, and at the same time, Qin Dui also asked Duke Marco to understand the pain of not disclosing his marriage contract with Angel for the time being, and hoped to get the support of the Huey family in the emperor.

Although the two sides did not sign a written treaty, they agreed that the economic interests of the Huey family in the northwest and northern Loulan would be fully guaranteed and that the Huey family would help Qin Duan collect intelligence information on the northern part of the empire and the imperial capital Yanjing, and Duke Marco even provided a list of officials from all over the empire who were close to the Huey family, hoping to help Qin Dui.

The most reluctant thing for Qin Du is the three princesses of Yuejing Kingdom, since the three princesses came to visit, the relationship between the several people has been greatly improved, and the contacts have become closer and closer, and the general brightness is moving. Li Qingke is quiet and elegant, Li Qingshi is cold and arrogant, Li Qingyun is lively and pure, and the images of the three beautiful women like flowers and jade are deeply imprinted on Qin Dui's heart.

The three beauties' perception of Qin Duan has also improved greatly, Qin Dui's humorous conversation, and the terrifying momentum revealed by her gestures. and sincere and generous grace, all of which made the three daughters excited.

Especially the two daughters of Li Qingshi and Li Qingyun, although they know that their eldest sister has been in love with Qin Dui for a long time, but Qin Dui's peerless demeanor is still like a magnet to firmly attract the second daughter, making the second daughter both contradictory and uneasy, Qin Dui's expression also makes the girls fall into the fog, the general enthusiasm and politeness, the general thoughtfulness and generosity, from time to time to invite one of the three daughters to go to the Fenghua Poetry Garden as a guest. Either go to the Imperial National Theater to see the song and dance, or go to the scenic spots in the suburbs to step on the green, which is even more inexplicable to the three daughters, but Qin Duan has never officially revealed her emotional tendencies, which also makes the three daughters depressed.

It wasn't until the news of Qin Dui's engagement with the seventeenth princess of the empire spread that the three daughters were heartbroken, but Qin Dui's special visit after the engagement seemed to have ignited a flame of hope for the already desperate three daughters, and they also knew the customs and habits of the imperial nobles in marriage. This makes them all have high expectations.

However, Qin Duan's visit did not explain anything else. But he kindly invited the three daughters to visit the northwest at the right time, which made the three daughters have mixed feelings, and finally the three daughters accepted the invitation, of course, not at this time.

Qin Dui's transformation of his personal guard team has also been carried out very smoothly in the past six months, and many of the good players in the rivers and lakes who failed to get their wishes in the martial arts imperial test have been under Qin Dui's command, after strict examination and identification. Qin Duan also chose to leave some people, and at Qin Duan's request, many outstanding disciples of the Liuhe Sect, the Snow Mountain Sect and the Bashan Gu Family also entered the ranks of Qin Duan's personal guards, and the combat effectiveness of the guards has changed significantly.

On August 8, the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, Qin Du finally set off to return to the northwest amid the congratulations of the ministers of the imperial capital. And he was accompanied by Zhao Yutang, the seventeenth princess of the empire who had just turned sixteen but had become his fiancée.

Qin Duan wanted to hurry up and rush back to the northwest as soon as possible, but the pampered seventeenth princess made him have to slow down, although the royal carriage was beautiful, but it was not suitable for long-distance travel, from the imperial capital to the Jinzhong Mansion City originally only took two days, but it took four days, so that Qin Dui was anxious but helpless.

At this time, Qin Duan once again received an urgent report from the northwest, the battle of the Kaman army besieging Jiayuguan was extremely fierce, the Kaman people used a large number of advanced siege equipment almost desperately, and at any cost the 200,000 troops were put into the attack in turn, the battle was very hard, although it was not to the point of precariousness, but from this phenomenon, the Kaman people have made it clear that the attitude towards Jiayuguan is inevitable.

At the same time, after determining that the Western Military Region of the Empire was no longer able to send troops to intervene in the battle in Taixuanfu, the westward army of Kaman, which had been moving slowly, suddenly accelerated its march, like a sharp arrow straight into Taixuanfu City, its fierceness was fierce, intending to swallow Taixuanfu City in one bite. However, the two main divisions of the Western Military Region, which were caught in the bitter battle of Gerlok, were firmly dragged by the Kaman army stationed in the Jiama area, and they could not get out, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

In view of the critical situation of Taixuanfu, Zhuge Fang had made a categorical decision to order the Fourth Division of the Northwest Third Army Corps stationed in Meishan County to quickly go north and enter the territory of Taixuanfu first, and the Meishan County Garrison Division had also entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and left Fucheng to advance northward, and could reinforce the Fourth Division that had entered the territory of Taixuanfu at any time.

And he himself led the Second Army Corps of the Northwest Army and the Independent First Cavalry Division to quickly march eastward towards Taixuanfu City, and officially ordered the Taixuanfu City Guard Fielding in the name of the Northwest Military and Political Jiedu Embassy, requiring him to hold on to and wait for reinforcements to ensure that Taixuanfu City was not lost.

After receiving this information, Qin Duan finally could no longer endure the slow speed of the convoy, and he decisively ordered the new guard captain, a master from the Changchun Sword Sect, who had passed the strict review and test of Qin Duan and Deng Xian in loyalty and ability, and Zhong Guang, a master from the Changchun Sword Sect, led some of the guards to stay, and cooperated with the internal affairs department personnel sent by the empire to escort the Seventeen Princesses on patrol to protect the safety of his fiancée, and he led several guards to rush to Meishan County day and night, hoping to join them when the main force of the Northwest Army arrived in Meishan County.

Walking on the city wall to inspect the defense arrangement, the Fielding seemed to have lost a circle, and his eyes were a little blue, but what bothered him in front of him was not the menacing Kaman army, the intelligence had already reflected that there were about 70,000 enemies who attacked, and the commander was actually Duke Miley, who was known as the Carman Twin Pillars, who was stolen and replaced, but this qiē was still not enough to make him full of sorrow.
