Chapter 472 Return to the Prairie

A few days later, Ning Xiyue still lived in that inn, because this inn was located at the junction of the two countries, there were many people passing by.

During the day, she inquired about all kinds of news from Fuchen and Muyue in the town, of course, more from Fuchen.

In this way, she knew that Mu Yue had postponed the birthday of Emperor Muyue because of his relationship with the Baha, and even heard that Emperor Muyue had sent someone to the Baha.

This news made Ning Xiyue's heart tremble, there will be war and death, and then the land that grows luxuriantly will become a river of blood.

Besides, weren't the Baha'i herders who rescued her from the river earlier? With this in mind, she decided to go back to the prairie again.

It's just that she didn't know that not far from the town, tens of thousands of troops were gathering, and the leader was Mu Yue's general, Mu Yunxiao.

On this day, Ning Xiyue ate in the hall, although she was alone, she also ordered a lot of food on the table, and in order to inquire about the news, she also deliberately slowed down, and even ate a meal for more than an hour.

"Have you heard? The Baha'i people in this neighborhood are going to war. ”

"Who doesn't know about this now! You can't just say something new! ”

"Speaking of something new, there is really something, I heard that this general is a member of the Danan tribe who has always been against the Baha, and although the emperor asked General Mu to go on the expedition, he did not give him soldiers and horses, in my opinion, he wants to intensify the contradiction between the two peoples."

"Be quiet, it's not our turn to talk about that matter between these two clans! If there are people from the Baha or Danan tribe next to here, our lives will be in jeopardy. ”

……

A few people said cautiously, as if they were exchanging some news, but there was a thick smile on the corner of their mouths.

Ning Xiyue could see from the words and expressions of these people that they were not from the Baha tribe or the Danan tribe, and her face suddenly sank slightly.

She stretched out her hand and took a piece of tofu into the cherry sip and tasted it, Mu Yue is different from Fuchen, Mu Yue is composed of many ethnic groups, and there are often some ethnic disputes, but in general, they can be regarded as peaceful coexistence, these Ning Xiyue have heard of it.

It's just that this time, she really doesn't understand why Emperor Muyue would support the dispatch of troops to the Baha, and as soon as this precedent is opened, doesn't it make all ethnic groups dissatisfied, and even panicked?

"I heard that this is a great merit made by General Mu, and the emperor rewards him for his grace, but the necessity of this war must be the people of their Danan clan, and it is because General Mu came here without a single soldier."

"I've also heard about this, and there are even rumors that General Mu is actually a general that the emperor is preparing to abolish before leaving."

Listening to the gossip of those guests in the hall, Ning Xiyue smiled slightly and shook her head gently, the people didn't know what the royal family thought, and the news was all hearsay.

She knew that such news was not entirely useful, and even many of it was adulterated, so she just listened to a few words.

She elegantly put the chopsticks on the table, raised her hand, and shouted loudly to the little two on the counter, "Little two, check out!" Also, I'm going to check out later, and I'll settle the room money by the way. ”

The shopkeeper respectfully brought this abacus over, and tossed it a few times, "Miss, you have spent a total of ...... in the past few days."

Ning Xiyue just hummed lightly, and casually threw a bag of silver into the shopkeeper, those silver were given by the Maimaiti family before, and the silver money given to her in Muyue Nalan Shu had already been taken away by those killers in the dark night.

After going back to the room and packing up her things at will, Ning Xiyue left the inn, of course, before returning to the grassland, she was going to go to Fuchen's entry gate again.

This time, instead of lining up directly behind the long line, she forced her composure to take out the silk handkerchief she had bought in the town, covered her cheeks tightly, and then walked to the city gate.

It's nothing to veil when the young lady of a big family in the capital goes out, it's just that in such a border town, Ning Xiyue's actions are a little weird.

Even so, people in the past only glanced at it lightly and went about their own business.

"Girl, are you going into the city? Please also queue up at the back, or report the name of the house. A guard saw that Ning Xiyue was looking at the portrait posted on the city wall a little strangely, so he came over with a spear with some doubts.

Although the city gate is under martial law, some officials and family members or people from rich and noble families are different from those ordinary people, so as long as they report and show the name and evidence of the rich and noble family they belong to, they do not need to queue.

And Ning Xiyue in front of him was veiled, in order not to let outsiders peep at his face, which is very similar to the practice of some young ladies from large families, she is naturally considered to be a young lady of an official family, and she doesn't want to queue up to find a relationship.

Ning Xiyue pursed her lips a little nervously, the hand that was crossed on her abdomen and pinched the silk handkerchief tightened a little, and she shook her head slightly and looked at the guard, "No need, the little woman is just curious about who the officials are looking for, so she came over to take a look, and she didn't mean to enter the city and disturb the officials." ”

Hearing this, the guard quickly turned around and muttered with a bit of disdain, "Since you are not going into the city, then go farther, this is not a place for you to play, if something happens, who will take care of it." ”

Ning Xiyue just didn't hear those words, looked at the portrait on the wall with some anger, and quickly turned around and left the city wall.

She quickly turned on her horse, pulled the reins in her hand, and galloped away in the direction of the grassland.

Hua Yin, she will definitely go back, but not now, after a while when the city gate is relaxed, she is entering the city, and at that time she must ask why she is wanted.

As she ran wildly, she felt the coolness of the wind around her, and at some point, some tears had slipped from the corners of her eyes.

But after a while, she stood on the edge of the grassland, looking at the boundless grassland in front of her, Ning Xiyue hooked a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and shook her head helplessly, "I didn't expect that I only came out of the grassland three days ago, and I will return to the grassland today." ”

Two days ago, the time to say goodbye to the Maimaiti family was in front of her, and today she had to go back to find them, and she didn't know if the family was still in that place, and if she left, I was afraid that she would have to stay in the inn for a while.

At the same time, in a clearing not far from Ning Xiyue, the Danan tribe and the Baha tribe were facing each other, and the war drums were thundering, causing the cattle and sheep on the grassland to flee in all directions.

The two patriarchs were carrying thousands of people behind them, even tens of thousands, and the commander of the Danan clan, General Mu Yunxiao, rode a high-headed horse in front of the Danan army.

On the Baha's side, because there is no general like Tongmu Yunxiao, there is only one patriarch in front of the leader, and because of this, the general of the Baha tribe is a little demoralized, and it looks a little sluggish.
