"Miss, although this trip to the border pass has been much shortened according to your plan, after all, it is to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and the danger naturally still exists, and I hope you will be more careful along the way. It's a pity that the old man can't help anything, so he can only pray for you every day, hoping that the gods will bless you with your triumphant return as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, the old man will see you off on time at the palace gate. Since you have obtained the emperor's permission to go out of the palace in the afternoon to handle private affairs, the old man will not waste your time. See you tomorrow. ”

Not far from the imperial study, Prime Minister Dou looked at A Xiyan with a reluctant expression and said.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Dou, Ah Xiyan will take good care of herself, because Ah Xiyan still has unfulfilled wishes, and there are still people worth caring about in the imperial city, so Ah Xiyan will definitely return to the imperial city safely. As for your body, you can recover after three days of recuperation. Then you should go back to your home early to rest, after all, today is the early dynasty, and it is the imperial study to discuss the military situation at the border, so you must be tired. See you tomorrow. ”

Ah Xiyan replied in a firm tone.

When mentioning the people who still cared about the imperial city, there was also a trace of reluctance on his face.

pretended to be calm, but glanced at General A beside him meaningfully.

And General A, who heard this sentence next to him, also raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at A Xiyan quietly, obviously guessing A Xiyan's thoughts.

"General A, I'll leave it to you to arrange for the elite soldiers to escort Miss A. To tell the truth, the old man admires Miss A's ability and courage in his heart, and has already regarded Miss A as his own daughter, you must make sure that she comes back safely! If Miss A comes back with a hair missing, the old man will not be finished with you! ”

Prime Minister Dou looked at General A again and solemnly admonished.

"Prime Minister Dou, you can rest assured of this, this general also admires Miss A's courage and intelligence, and will definitely arrange the most capable soldiers to escort her to the border pass as his own, and will never let Miss A be hurt in the slightest, please Prime Minister Dou Cheng rest assured to wait for good news in the mansion."

After General A listened to Prime Minister Dou's words, he also swore an oath.

When he said that he would definitely regard Ah Xiyan as his own, he also glanced at Ah Xiyan with the same deep meaning.

"Good! As a soldier, General A has always done what he says, so the old man will be at ease. So you can continue to discuss the details of tomorrow's trip, shall we? The old man won't bother you, and will go out of the palace and return home first. ”

Prime Minister Dou Cheng said with relief.

After saying that, he left first.

"General ......"

"Miss ......"

After seeing Prime Minister Dou walk away, Ah Xiyan and General A, who had been silent for a while, spoke in unison.

"You talk about ...... first"

When he found that the other party had something to say, he once again humbled in unison.

"Poof......

"Hehe......"

When they noticed that they both spoke at the same time, they couldn't help but glance at each other and laughed.

"Let's talk about it first, after all, you are my elder."

After laughing for a while, Ah Xiyan preemptively said.

"Okay, then General Ben said first, that's the case, since you still have personal affairs to go out of the palace in the afternoon, then get busy with your going first. General Ben will go to select the soldiers who will escort you to the border pass tomorrow, as well as the necessary things to prepare to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in the next two days. After you are busy with personal affairs in the afternoon, General Ben wants to invite you to come to the General's Mansion and discuss some details after tomorrow's departure, so as not to have problems again tomorrow's departure, and I am afraid that it will be too late to solve them. I don't know what you think? As for the convenience of the time, if you don't dislike it, it would be best if you could come early to have dinner together at the house. We can eat and talk at the same time. But if you already have dinner planned, it's okay to come later. In short, no matter how late it is, General Ben will be waiting for you at the house. Do you think it's okay? ”

Seeing that Ah Xiyan asked her to speak first, General A was no longer polite, and said his thoughts concisely.

It's just that when he mentioned that he wanted to invite Ah Xiyan to the General's Mansion for dinner in the evening, his tone became a little unconfident, as if he was afraid that Ah Xiyan would flatly refuse.

In fact, for General A, discussing the details of tomorrow's trip with Ah Xiyan at night is not the most important thing, even if Ah Xiyan doesn't have time to discuss, he can arrange it properly.

He said this for only one purpose, that is, before leaving, he could let A Xiyan come to the General's Mansion to accompany him and his wife Ye Qingli to have a meal and have a good chat.

Despite this, in a hurry, he and Ye Qingli couldn't recognize Ah Xiyan directly without knowing Ah Xiyan's true thoughts, but being able to get together as a family for a meal was enough to make him and Ye Qingli happy for a long time.

Moreover, this trip to the border is also full of dangers, and if you don't come back alive, you will regret it for life.

Therefore, General A naturally hoped that A Xiyan could agree to his very selfish request and come to the General's Mansion for dinner in the evening.

Even if Ah Xiyan comes late and can't have dinner together, it doesn't matter, as long as he and his wife Ye Qingli can accompany Ah Xiyan to chat casually, he will be satisfied.

"Hmm...... An afternoon of personal business for me to do when I leave the palace should be enough. I also think it would be great to sit down with you and discuss the details before you go, so it will be great for tomorrow's trip. And before I followed Gonggong Hai to the imperial study, I also met the eldest lady, she and I hit it off at first sight, and also hoped that I would have time to go to the general's mansion to play, and she also said that she would cook food for me herself. Since this trip to the border is unpredictable, in order not to leave regrets in the future, and if you don't feel troublesome, then I will rush to the General's Mansion at dinner time to have dinner with you and the eldest lady, right? By the way, let's discuss the details of this border crossing trip again. ”

Ah Xiyan replied after calculating the time in her heart.

In fact, Ah Xiyan also saw General A's intentions for the first time, and also understood that General A wanted the family to have a meal together before leaving.

It's also a farewell party.

Of course, Ah Xiyan felt that maybe it was really just a dinner, and General A and the eldest lady might not recognize her directly.

But Ah Xiyan didn't care about whether she knew each other or not, she just reluctantly missed this rare opportunity to get together with her biological parents.

After all, she also knows that she does not have the conditions to directly recognize her family at present, and the reason is that her natural poison has not yet found a way to completely solve it.

But tomorrow she will travel to the border pass, and there are many variables in this trip to the border pass, and to be honest, she has no bottom in her heart.

What made her bottomless was not the crossing of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, nor the plague that had killed countless people at the border pass, but the matter of treating the prince of the neighboring country.

Because Ah Xiyan knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows if the prince of this neighboring country is the one who will take revenge?

If the prince was already dead when she arrived at the military camp of the neighboring prince, then she would definitely be killed on the spot by those angry soldiers, who would have vented her evil anger for the prince.

Even if the prince is still alive and healed, the other party may not really keep his promise to let her go.

Despite this, Ah Xiyan can't help but go.

If she does not go, the prince of the neighboring country will definitely die, and then a war will be inevitable.

Only she went, and even if she was left hostage in a neighboring country, at least the war could have been avoided.

Therefore, Ah Xiyan, who has always understood the general situation and knows how to focus on the overall situation, has no other choice but to go to the border to gamble.

Given the possibility of such a worst-case scenario, Ah Xiyan didn't want to miss the only opportunity to have dinner with her biological parents because of momentary concerns.

In addition, the eldest lady had already recognized her identity before, and she was extremely looking forward to inviting her to the General's Mansion as a guest.

In this case, how could Ah Xiyan bear to disappoint her biological mother?

Therefore, she did not hesitate to agree to General A's somewhat unspeakable invitation.

"What? Have you met the Big Lady before? She also said that she would cook for you herself? You two still hit it off at first sight? Oh! Then the general will understand. Ha ha! Good! That's good! Then it's decided, General Ben and his wife will be waiting for you at the mansion in the evening. Now that we've said it's okay, it's fine. It just so happens that there are still some things to do in the General's Palace, so I won't go out of the palace with you. Hurry up and go about your personal business. See you in the evening. ”

After General A heard Ah Xiyan readily agree, and when he heard Ah Xiyan mention that he had already met the eldest lady, he also shouted in great surprise and surprise.

Especially when he heard Ah Xiyan say that the eldest lady would cook for her personally, and when he and A Xiyan became acquainted at first sight, he instantly understood one thing, that is, his eldest lady had recognized A Xiyan as his daughter.

It's just that the reason why the eldest lady didn't recognize Ah Xiyan on the spot, General A hasn't thought of it for the time being.

However, he thinks that this is fine, after all, before understanding what A Xiyan thinks clearly, it is also the safest way not to rashly recognize each other.

Moreover, General A also heard a possibility from Ah Xiyan's words just now, that is, Ah Xi also recognized that he and the eldest lady were her biological parents.

It's just that Ah Xiyan also seems to have some concerns, so she didn't recognize each other on the spot.

Maybe it's planning to get along for a while and wait for the right opportunity to officially recognize each other, right?

In this case, General A certainly respects A Xiyan's thoughts.

He felt that everything would be talked about after returning from the border trip.

And before he officially recognized A Xiyan, he had to meet someone privately and listen to her opinion.

As for this person, it is Concubine Shuniang, after all, she proposed to send Ah Xiyan to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to fend for herself.

Now that Ah Xiyan has come back alive, she who has always been well-informed, must have known it as soon as possible, and she will definitely not turn a blind eye.

Therefore, General A must meet the lady concubine in advance before leaving the border pass.

This is also the reason why he let Ah Xiyan leave the palace first, and he still has some things to do in the palace.

"Okay, General A, are you busy? See you in the evening. ”

Seeing that General A was very excited about eating together at night, Ah Xiyan also said goodbye in a good mood.

Then, Ah Xiyan turned around and rushed towards Weiyang Palace.

And General A rushed to the Xiangfeng Palace where Concubine Shuniang was located......
