The long queue arrived in Qu County in the early morning of the next day.

According to the official road, Shen Mo and others had to pass through Qu County, go to Taizhou, walk down dozens of miles along the source of the river to Bozhou, and then take the official road from Bozhou to Ya County in northern Subei, and take the last section of the waterway boat from Ya County to Weizhou, where the imperial city is located.

The army cannot be stationed in the city, and can only be stationed and camped outside the city, but fortunately, the grain and grass can also be replenished, and there is no need to eat naan cakes frozen into hard lumps, so Shen Mo took the letter seal and personally set off to the county to collect some grain and grass.

Chen Chang, the county commander of Quxian County, personally opened the city gate to greet him and led the people to welcome him.

Seeing this, Shen Mo said in a low voice with his deputy general Xu Ban:

"Tell the princess of Rongdi to return to the carriage, you yourself go to the inn, prepare the veil or the curtain leave, tell her to go out only if she takes it, and finally remember to return the carriage to the merchant firm, and I will meet you at the inn after I have received the grain and grass."

Xu Ban received the order, turned his back and became the princess of Rongdi to block the eyes of others and urge her to go back.

Helian Su glanced at Xu Ban quickly.

She was also beside her, and of course she heard Shen Mo's words.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, as long as she wore a veil on her words, she would not be restricted from moving, so she would still follow the customs.

After all, she had no other choice.

She could never go back to that vast grassland - the daughter of the Condor would be locked up in a cage for the rest of her life and put heavy shackles around her ankles.

This is her fate.

Helian Su turned the horse's head and was quietly half-coerced and half-escorted by Xu Ban back to the carriage where she and her uncle were squeezed and barely sat down.

She was actually very calm inside.

After seeing his fate, he fell into an unbelievable calm, deep in his breezy face, and his heart was like ashes.

Despair always makes human beings begin to think soberly.

Tempting things to learn, not in a hurry.

She heard that Shen Mo had a sister-in-law who lived in the palace, and the two had a very close relationship, so she must have brought her some gifts. And this gift, it must be selected by herself, so that her intention can be reached, and then she can help choose the reason for the gift to find Shen Mo.

Chen Chang, the county commander of Quxian County, has passed the age of standing, and his figure is not tall, but his every move is very graceful, and he acts cautiously.

He didn't know Shen Mo's plans, although he was also curious about Rong Di's appearance with the prince's daughter, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he only welcomed Shen Mo into the mansion, rested for a while, and prepared to set up a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust.

"There are many things in the city, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to get out of it, so they did not go outside the city in advance to greet them, and I ask the general for forgiveness." Chen Chang took off his robe and wanted to bow down.

"Lord Chen tormented Shen." Shen Mo leaned forward halfway, and gently supported the other party's elbow with both palms from the bottom up, preventing this salute, "Being loyal to personnel is what courtiers should do." ”

He paused, ordered the attendant to take out the brocade bag containing the seal, and said: "Today, I hope that the county order will temporarily open the granary, and give up some military rations for my soldiers. ”

Chen Chang didn't take it, but only pushed back Shen Mo's hand holding the seal letter: "The general is a man, and the ministers have already heard of it, not to mention that His Majesty has already issued an order, where the general passes by, open the city gate directly, and open the warehouse to release grain to comfort the three armies." ”

He waved his hand to the official next to him, and everyone received a prompt to prepare to put the grain.

"The subordinate has already prepared military rations, and the general can send someone to fetch them, but now I ask the general to rest for a while, and we can eat later."

Shen Mo nodded: "It's okay, Shen will change into civilian clothes here and tidy up a little." He suddenly remembered something, "Is there a market or a chamber of commerce here?" I need to buy something. ”

"What does the general want to buy? The subordinate can send a servant to ......" Chen Chang shook his head when he saw him, stopped talking, and was a little curious in his heart.

"Only I know what she likes, not others." Shen Mo said softly, his tone was gentle, and even his title changed.

Chen Chang suddenly realized.

I heard that General Shen has not been married, and his temperament is indifferent, in the past, when Qing Zhaoyi's mother did not enter the palace, he had a deep relationship with this sister, spoiled and doted, and took her with him everywhere, presumably this gift was bought for Qing Zhaoyi.

Chen Chang looked at the other party silently, but just from this serious and handsome face, he really couldn't tell that this guy was actually a sister control.

What a human spirit Chen Chang is.

"Then why don't you wait a little longer, and wait for the subordinate to inform Inuko and Uchiko, so that they can personally take the general to Xiji to pick out gifts?"

There were too many chores in the city, and he couldn't get out of it, and he didn't understand what women liked, so he had to ask his own boy and wife to help.

Shen Mo thought for a moment, thinking that it would be good for one or two more people to put forward opinions, but in the end, it was himself who made the final decision, so he simply nodded and agreed.

To sum up, the two-person team that was originally planned to only have him and Xu Ban suddenly became a team of six.

Helian Su came over with an excuse, so Helian Xing came over to watch the excitement, plus Mrs. Chen and Gongzi Chen. Because several people are actually not very familiar, the atmosphere is a little awkward.

The six of them walked outside the courtyard, and something even more embarrassing happened.

I saw Helian Su, who was wearing a veil, stepped forward to stop Shen Mo, and said loudly:

"General Shen, I'm going to fight you alone!"

Helian Xing was dumbfounded.

And Chen Gongzi, who was behind Shen Mo, grabbed Mrs. Chen, who wanted to speak, and made a silent gesture at her.

Shen Mo frowned, but his eyes were biased towards Helian Xing.

"Heads-up?"

It's hard to believe that the look of disbelief on this man's face is real.

"That's right." Helian Su saw his refusal, and was a little anxious, his right hand stroked his waist, and the dagger was out of his body, "I'll make a bet with you, if I lose," she glanced at the accessories on her and Helian Xing's bodies, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "If I lose, Uncle Xing's personal dagger will be given to you, and he will be sent by you on the march!" ”

Helian jumped to his feet in anger: "You want to compete with him, what are you doing?" Why do you bet on Lao Tzu? ”

In his heart, he secretly hated that his niece was supposed to get along with Shen Mo but provoked trouble.

Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the princess of Rongdi would not wait to see Helianxing, could it be that she also knew about the defeat of Helianxing's troops in that key battle?

Shen Mo did guess correctly.

After Helian Su knew that he had to make peace, he personally asked King Rongdi's cronies, and learned the most important reason for Rong Di's defeat and retreat: Helian Xing's march was too reckless, and after escaping from the trap, he also missed his horse's feet during the march, causing Shen Mo to chase after him step by step, and finally captured Qitong and besieged Yindu.

Although she complied with Heqin's request, she couldn't help but resentment towards Helian.

He turned his gaze to Helian Xing, the princess is still like this, not to mention the king of Rongdi, this competition seems to be beneficial and desirable, his gaze fell again, and fell on the dagger on Helian Xing's waist.

Yes, the forging is exquisite, and the Central Plains masters are not far behind.

So he automatically ignored Helian Xing's opinion, took off the three-foot Qingfeng on his waist, nodded to Xu Ban next to him, and said, "Take it for me." ”
