Mei Xiaoren still had one thing in her heart, and after she returned to the boudoir, she took out a long-standing gold lock from the makeup box and took it in her hand to take a closer look.

This golden lock was made by her father with the best goldsmith, and there were only two in the world, and she had never worn it, but she was so impressed that the last time she saw it, she could not believe her eyes.

Even if she saw it, she didn't dare to make any bold guesses, because no matter how she assumed, it was too ridiculous.

It's okay for Chu gangsters to lead a group of cats and dogs to dominate the market, he has the ability to set up a stray fire gang to dominate one side, and manipulate that group of gangs to wreak havoc in Jiangnan, and even bully the court?

She thought it was a joke.

Mei Xiaoren put back the golden lock, freshened up and changed clothes, and lay quietly on the bed, raised his hand, and looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

She has experienced a lot and seen a lot along the way, which makes her feel that the road from Beijing to Xuanzhou is extremely long, so that she has tasted the taste of worry.

Her father wants a son-in-law, but he likes her as a man......

How to tell her how to have the courage to confess to him.

She was afraid that as soon as she confessed, she would become the difficult woman he complained about, and then his kindness to her would be shattered like a bubble, and some feelings would be dissipated with the wind.

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Xiaoren said goodbye to her father, rode out of the city, and rushed to the military camp at the border pass.

She went south over the mountains and mountains, and drove for more than an hour to reach the Daning border. She stayed at the top of the mountain for a while, overlooking the military camp at the bottom of the mountain, dotted and quite large, and heard that there were 60,000 troops here to resist the Xia Kingdom.

She looked into the distance and couldn't see the shadow of the Xia army, only that the Xia army was stationed only ten miles away from here. The two countries have fought several times, each winning and losing, but Daning's army has not backed down a single step so far, and the two sides are still in a stalemate.

Mei Xiaoren led the horse to the barracks and met General Sheng guarding the border in the main tent.

She heard from the accompanying officials that General Sheng was the deputy general of the Zhenguo General when he was young, and he was one of the most brave and warlike generals in Daning, and he had been ordered to guard the border pass all these years.

Mei Xiaoren walked to the desk and presented the paperwork: "General Sheng, the grain and grass have been delivered, this is the document, please print it." ”

General Sheng was standing behind the desk looking at the map, and said without looking back: "Don't panic, the army will pull out the camp and advance tomorrow, we don't have enough manpower here, so you will work hard, and be responsible for the food and grass." ”

The grain and grass were delivered, and her errand was completed, and it was not her duty to explain what General Sheng had to do, but it was wartime, and if she could, she would help, and Mei Xiaoren responded yes.

General Sheng asked lightly: "Listen to your accent, are you from Xuanzhou?" ”

"General Hui, yes."

"That's great, General Ben is short of officials from Xuanzhou here, you can stay for the time being, and fight by General Ben's side."

Mei Xiaoren was startled by this sudden order.

General Sheng continued: "At the moment of the great enemy, General Ben is short of manpower here, and General Ben will tell you Lord Shangshu over there to tell you Lord Shangshu that you stay first, and go to the granary to order some grain and grass in a while." ”

The sudden change surprised Mei Xiaoren, and just as she was thinking about what to do, she heard someone behind her pull the curtain and come in.

Before she looked back, she heard General Sheng call: "Ye Gongzi, you came just in time, this is the grain officer sent by the Ministry of War, surnamed Mei, you take him to count the grain and grass in a while, and when you pull out the camp tomorrow, you will follow with the grain and grass." ”

Mei Xiaoren was stunned for a moment, didn't make a sound, and didn't look back, she had already guessed who was coming.

It turned out that Ye Zhi did not rush back to Beijing after sending Princess Haoyang to the Xia Kingdom, but stayed in the barracks to fight General Sheng.

She sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that they would meet on such an occasion......

Ye Zhi was silent for a long time before saying yes.

Mei Xiaoren's eyes were calm, while Ye Zhi looked in the other direction, neither of them paid attention to each other, nor did they say anything.

General Sheng knocked on the map and said: "The Xia Kingdom has just lost a battle, tomorrow we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, according to the current situation, this general's 60,000 horses are enough to drive the Xia people back!" ”

"The general is wise." Ye Zhi replied, "If there is nothing else, I will retire." ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't understand the art of war, so he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he stood silently in the camp tent.

General Sheng nodded, and after a while, he saw that someone had left, so he pointed at Mei Xiaoren, "Don't follow quickly, how to take care of the grain and grass, this general has taught Ye Gongzi, and you will listen to him in the future." ”

At the moment of the great enemy, the survival of the family and the country and the personal grievances are more important, Mei Xiaoren can grasp it clearly, and then move out of the camp.

She followed the distant figure, her steps slowing.

Mei Xiaoren was followed by several officials who came with her, and they all looked helpless after coming out of the camp, shaking their heads as they walked.

Someone sighed: "General Sheng has been staying at the border all the year round, I am afraid that I don't know which way the wind in the capital is blowing now, and I dare to detain Xiangye's people......"

Mei Xiaoren followed slowly to the granary, and saw that Ye Zhi had already begun to beckon the soldiers to count the grain and grass, and the soldiers also listened to Ye Zhi's words.

She stood aside, not knowing what to do, even if she took this errand, her heart was unusually chaotic.

Ye Zhi didn't pay attention to anyone, and helped the soldiers carry the grain and grass to the car.

Mei Xiaoren looked at it for a while, and also stepped forward to help the soldiers carry food.

They passed back and forth in the crowd, like strangers who had never crossed paths, and like strangers who had never crossed paths......

On the second day, before dawn, the army began to draw out its camp.

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi both came to the granary early, each guarding a team of carts carrying grain and grass, facing each other with their backs, and only after the army had pulled out, they carried the grain and grass forward.

She couldn't get out, and the officials who came with her didn't leave her to return to Beijing, they were still by her side, helping her lead the horse and fight.

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi rode side by side to lead the team forward, getting farther and farther away from Yun County.

The front is mountainous, the woods are dense, and from time to time a flock of birds rises from the forest, which makes people feel uneasy.

Mei Xiaoren was afraid of fraud, but General Sheng was also worried about the loss of grain and grass, and there were hundreds of soldiers sent to them to escort grain and grass this time, she looked back, there should be no difference, after all, the people of Xia have not set foot in this place, even if they want to sneak attack, they can't send many people.

In the mountains and forests halfway up the mountain, a group of people hurried to the direction of Yunxian County, passing by an open place, suddenly someone grabbed the reins, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and exclaimed: "Princess, the grain cart of Ningguo!" ”

The black-clothed woman riding in front of her horse stopped, turned the dock to look at the foot of the mountain, and said lightly: "There are many of them, we can't move our hands and feet, let's go." ”

The woman was about to continue her journey, her eyes were suddenly attracted by something under the mountain, she raised her hand, pointed at the front of the convoy down the mountain with her whip, her eyes were like torches, "See, that horse, it belongs to my father!" ”
