Du Zijun looked at Bai Shuqin, thinking that they would not return to the capital. What's more, she thinks that this little girl is definitely not a person, so what does she care. I didn't think about it, but Bai Shuqin spoke: "We are going to Jiangzhou now, and it will take at least a month to return to Beijing." Come with us if you want. If you don't want to, after you get to Jiangzhou, I'll find someone to send you over. ”

Beizhu has been on the road for half a year, and there were three incompetent people who originally came with her, but they all encountered accidents on the road, and in the end only she was left. While on her way in the morning, she accidentally fell down the mountain. If Bai Shuqin hadn't appeared, she felt that she would have died here.

Beizhu knew that it was impossible for her to go to the capital alone, and although this sister was a little strange, she was a good person. She thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Sister, let me come with you." ”

As soon as Beizhu finished speaking, Du Zijun immediately pointed at her: "Third Imperial Princess, look! She really wanted to come with us, and then she used witchcraft to eat us on the way! That's what the books say! ”

Bai Shuqin took the horse rope from Du Zijun's hand and knocked his head hard: "You have read too many villain books!" ”

Du Zijun touched the place where he was beaten, thinking that the third princess was too kind, how could the wilderness and wilderness trust a person of unknown origin so easily. Seeing that Bai Shuqin was about to ride on the same horse with Beizhu, he couldn't put her in danger: "Third Imperial Princess, let me take her." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Shuqin to agree, he reported Beizhu to his horse.

Bai Shuqin shook his head and went with him. Seeing that the time is not early, if it is delayed any longer, they may not be able to reach Jiangzhou City tomorrow. Bai Shuqin took out the map, confirmed the route again, and set off again.

On the way, Du Zijun wanted to inquire about Beizhu's life experience, but Beizhu didn't say anything except his name and going to the capital to find someone, which made Du Zijun even more suspicious.

Beizhu sat behind Du Zijun, his eyes looking at Bai Shuqin who was leading the way in front. Just now she heard this man call her the third imperial concubine, then she must be a member of the royal family. It's just that in southern Xinjiang, the people of the royal family travel with a large group of people, why did she only bring one person?

The mountain road is rugged, with a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other. Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun both got off the horse and walked cautiously with the horse, for fear that one would accidentally fall.

Bai Shuqin looked back at Beizhu, she was hugging the horse's neck tightly, her face full of nervousness. Beizhu has delicate skin and simple eyes, she must be a child of a big family, but there is no family within a radius of ten miles, where did she come from?

Although Bai Shuqin does not think that Beizhu is a fox spirit like Du Zijun, her background is indeed suspicious. Bai Shuqin asked Beizhu tentatively: "Beizhu, how long did it take you to get here?" ”

Beizhu heard her ask herself, and hurriedly replied, "It's been half a year." ”

"What? Can you survive in the wild for half a year? And say you're not a goblin! Du Zijun's suspicion of her only increased.

Beizhu lay on the horse's back, biting his lip and not speaking. In the past, she thought that if she went out of southern Xinjiang, she would no longer be regarded as an outlier, but she didn't expect that even if she was outside, she would still be rejected by others.

Bai Shuqin could see that she was telling the truth, but this truth was really hard to believe. She glared at Du Zijun: "Don't talk nonsense. Beizhu, he has no malice, don't take it to heart. ”

Du Zijun looked at Beizhu's appearance and realized that what he said was indeed a bit excessive. He looked at Beizhu embarrassedly: "That, I just think you're a little weird, I'm sorry!" ”

Beizhu smiled at Du Zijun: "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

The three of them continued to walk along the mountain road, which was getting darker earlier than outside, and the sun was already sinking into the mountain. Bai Shuqin looked up into the distance, they were going to sleep in the mountains and forests again tonight.

Zhuo Jinxuan led 2,000 elite soldiers to Jiangzhou, accompanied by the military advisor Sima Liang. Sima Liang is eight feet long, twenty-seven years old, and is Zhuo Jinxuan's old subordinate, and Zhuo Jinxuan followed him when he was thirteen years old, and his strategy was profound.

All the people brought this time are familiar with water, and all of them are carefully selected by Sima Liang. As early as before the news of General Feihe reached the capital, Sima Liang was already ready. Therefore, above the court, Zhuo Jinxuan dared to say that only two thousand elite soldiers were needed.

The army had been set out for three days, camping in the field at night, and Zhuo Jinxuan carefully studied the information sent from the front in the camp tent.

Sima Liang lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, the relationship between him and Zhuo Jinxuan was even more brotherly, there was no outsider present, he almost never saluted Zhuo Jinxuan.

Sima Liang shook his feather fan made of gray feathers, walked over to Zhuo Jinxuan, and glanced at the contents of the letter.

Zhuo Jinxuan did not shy away from him at all, he handed the letter to Sima Liang: "Look at it." ”

Sima Liang took the letter, which recorded in detail that General Feihe had been defeated three times, and each time it seemed to be nine out of ten, but the thieves were able to save the day every time. In the past two days, the thieves robbed General Feihe's arsenal, resulting in the complete defeat of General Feihe and growing the morale of the thieves.

"It's not uncommon for Feihe to encounter this group of scoundrels, and he loses the battle. However, the military depot was robbed, and I am afraid that there is a spy in the army, but there is a possibility of worse. Sima Liang saw through the essence at a glance.

Zhuo Jinxuan naturally saw it, although General Feihe was a little careless at first, but immediately adjusted his mentality after the first battle, it stands to reason that it is impossible to lose so miserably one after another.

Besides, the people under General Feihe were all brought from the capital, and the possibility of spies is very small, but I am afraid that there is something else.

Zhuo Jinxuan began to be a little worried, the military order had been established, and if he failed, he was afraid that he would never have the face to return to Beijing. "What do you think we have a chance of winning this time?"

Sima Liang sensed Zhuo Jinxuan's worries, closed the letter and put it back on the table, shaking the feather fan gently: "Judging from the information on the letter, it is only fifty percent at most. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan smiled bitterly: "At that time, I really should have applied for five thousand troops with my father, so that the odds of victory could be increased by two percent!" ”

"If we can send someone to break into the pirates, then the odds are 100%!"

Zhuo Jinxuan also thought so in his heart, but the candidate was a problem. The temperament of the people in the army is too obvious, and there is no ferocity and banditry of pirates. Zhuo Jinxuan looked up at Sima Liang's leisurely smile, knowing that he must have an idea in his heart. "Who do you want to send?"

Sima Liang squinted his eyes and smiled: "We'll know when we get to Jiangzhou!" ”

At sunset the next day, Bai Shuqin and his party finally entered Jiangzhou City. Seeing the rows of buildings in the city, Du Zijun almost cheered excitedly.

Ever since Du Zijun knew that Bai Shuqin was also out of the city for the first time, and almost half of the time in the past half a month had been sleeping in the wild, he had always felt that they would probably get lost. At this moment, seeing the three big characters of Jiangzhou City on the city wall, not to mention how excited he was.

Bai Shuqin looked at Du Zijun with disgust, he didn't tell her some ghost legends along the way, in short, he was worried that she would take the wrong way, and then the two of them were eaten by ghosts. Especially after Beizhu appeared, Du Zijun slept with his ears pricked up at night, and a little wind and grass could scare him awake.

They entered the city with their front feet, and the guards with their back feet closed the gates of the city. Du Zijun glanced back and said to Bai Shuqin: "It's not dark yet, why did they close the door so early?" ”

Bai Shuqin also felt strange, this would estimate that the city gate would be closed when it was just after the unitary.

Beizhu whispered behind Du Zijun's back: "When I passed by here half a month ago, I heard others say that there are pirates here, and everyone is very scared. ”

"Aren't you afraid when you pass by here?" Du Zijun asked her, although he didn't think she was a vixen now, he still firmly believed that Beizhu must have some secret hidden in her.

Beizhu only stayed in the city for one night and did not see pirates, and she was still accompanied by incompetent people at that time, so she did not feel afraid. But the incompetent was bitten to death by a jackal in order to save her while she was in the mountains. Bei Zhu looked sad, if she had spiritual power like other people from the Spirit Royal Family, this would not have happened.

Du Zijun thought that he had said something wrong again, and he tried to compensate her. He felt that Beizhu, a little girl, was mentally abnormal, and anything she said could make her sad.

Bai Shuqin couldn't help but be angry when he thought that Helan's father was also killed by pirates. After so many years, the pirates in Jiangzhou are still so rampant, is no one caring?

The sun was setting, but the sky was still bright. In Jiangzhou City, every house is closed, and there is no one on the road, like an empty city. Du Zijun followed closely behind Bai Shuqin, for fear that there would be some ghosts.

Bai Shuqin dismounted in front of an inn, walked over and knocked on the door, but no one answered inside. She continued to knock a few more times, shouting inside, "Open the door, we want to stay in the hotel!" ”

The people inside were annoyed by the knocking on the door, and shouted loudly: "This inn is full, you can go to another house!" ”

Although Bai Shuqin felt strange, he saw that there were two or three inns in the distance, so he was going to go to other homes to ask. However, the rhetoric of several inns is the same, and there are no vacant rooms.

Du Zijun looked at Bai Shuqin, shouldn't they still sleep on the streets in the city? The atmosphere here is so eerie that it scares him more than letting him sleep in the mountains and forests.

Bai Shuqin didn't plan to give up, and there was a small inn in the middle of the horse court. She knocked on the door as before, and the old woman's slow voice came from inside: "It's full, let's go elsewhere." ”

Bai Shuqin was already mentally prepared, and shouted inside: "Grandma, we have already asked five families." We came all the way from the capital, and we have been sleeping in the open for half a month, so you can do it, let us live in a partial room. ”

The people inside discussed in a whisper, and after a while, the door opened a crack. A middle-aged woman looked at them through the crack in the door, seeing that they didn't look like bad people, opened the door and urged them: "Come in!" ”

Bai Shuqin and the others breathed a sigh of relief instantly, tied the horse to the tethered horse post in front of the store, Du Zijun carried Beizhu on his back, and the three of them walked in quickly. When they entered, the young woman looked outside again to make sure that no one had closed the door immediately.

On a rectangular table in the inn, a middle-aged man sat on the top seat, next to the old woman who had just spoken, and on the other side sat two young men.

There were a few dishes on the table, but there were no lights. Although it was not dark outside, the door was closed, and the inside of the inn was still a little dim.

They ate quietly as if they hadn't seen Bai Shuqin and them. The middle-aged woman came up to them and said, "There's a room upstairs, you can sleep in whatever room you want." ”

Bai Shuqin looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that it was full?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the middle-aged man with an embarrassed smile, and the middle-aged man spoke: "Don't talk to them so much, let them leave quickly tomorrow morning." ”

"Is it because of pirates?" Du Zijun looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

Hearing the pirates, their faces changed significantly, as if Du Zijun had mentioned a forbidden word. Bai Shuqin hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, we'll stay for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

As soon as Bai Shuqin and the others went upstairs, the middle-aged woman caught up with them and reminded them: "Don't light the lights at night, it's not safe." ”

Bai Shuqin turned his head and smiled at her and nodded: "Thank you, we know." ”

After going upstairs, Bai Shuqin chose the room closest to the stairs, Du Zijun felt that this place was too terrible, so he had to share a room with them and protect the two of them.
