After recuperating in Jianzhou for a few days, the injury on his foot was almost healed, and Bao Yuan decided to leave for Fengzhou tomorrow.

I heard that after the Jianmen Pass, I could reach Fengzhou City in half a day to the north.

Because he thought that he was fighting with the Zhou State at this time, and the caravan accompanying by the Ling family did not know our identity, Bao Yuan decided to still pretend to be a business traveler, and only told us that he was an old acquaintance with us.

On the day of departure, Bao Yuanming accompanied Yu Linwei in disguise as a nurse, while I was still dressed as a man, and sat in the carriage with him, Ming'er, and Ji'er along the way.

Out of Jianzhou, the road is much smoother than before, and the line of sight is also broadened. It's just that Bao Yuan took care of my foot injury, afraid that I would hurt if the bumps were bad, so he refused to let the car go faster, so the group walked slowly, leisurely, where it seemed to be patrolling, but like a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Ming'er opened the curtain to look at the scenery, sighed from time to time, and suddenly turned her head to look at me and Bao Yuan, and said with a low smile: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, you are all wearing plain robes now, and you look like twin brothers." ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Bao Yuan raised his thick eyebrows, "Does Ming'er mean that I and Rui'er look alike?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Over the years, you and Niangniang have become more and more similar, especially the look between your eyebrows. Ming'er said seriously, suddenly her eyes rolled widely, and she said, "Isn't this the rumored 'husband and wife'?" ”

"Hahaha...... Bao Yuan laughed heartily, stroked his palms and said: "Well said, well said." ”

Ming'er saw Bao Yuan's praise and looked at me a little proudly. Jill pursed her lips and snickered as she spoke.

"Ming'er, don't talk nonsense." I blushed slightly, and blamed Bao Yuan and said, "Meng Lang, Ming'er has always liked to talk nonsense, but you still indulge her." ”

"Hahaha, I just like her temperament to say something." Bao Yuan smiled heartily, and did not avoid others, reaching out to hold my hand.

With Jill by my side, I felt a little uncomfortable, struggling to pull my hand out, but he held it tighter.

Just when he was a little at a loss, he suddenly heard Ji'er say: "The relationship between the emperor and Niangniang is really good, and it seems that you are more like a loving couple to the people." ”

"Really?" Bao Yuan became more and more happy.

Ji'er nodded and said, "On weekdays, it is common for two brothers and sisters-in-law to get along, although they are not as affectionate as the emperor and his mother, but they always respect each other, especially the eldest brother and the sister-in-law Bingyu, they often have similar expressions between their eyebrows. ”

Ji'er's words are like a slap in my heart, yes, if one day I can leave everything behind with Baoyuan and return to the mountains and forests, how good it would be!

stared at him in white clothes in front of him, and sighed in his heart, if we were just an ordinary couple, then he and I, who had the same leisure temperament, would be able to live a good life like idle clouds and wild cranes, right? !

Maybe that day is not far away, if the day when Shu is breached, I can take him away smoothly, then, such an expectation may also come true, but Bao Yuan can let go of his family, am I really sure that I can take him away?

"Rui'er, what do you want?" Bao Yuan asked with concern.

I looked at him with a smile, shook my head for a while, and said softly, "Thinking about what it would be like to be a civilian couple with you." ”

"Hehe, what's so hard about that. When I go back from this patrol, I will have someone to pack up the Huanhua Xiaozhu, and then you and I will go to live for a few days. Bao Yuan's eyebrows fluttered, and he became more and more happy.

I hid my emotions and only nodded obediently, but I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Fool, what I want is a long time to stay in seclusion, not such a worrying busy!

"Childe, we have arrived outside Fengzhou City." The accompanying escort reported from the curtain.

When I heard this, I opened the curtain and looked out, not far away a blue-gray city tower towered under the blue sky, the moat was like a jade belt, through the lush green trees, the dark red characters in the middle of the city tower were written "Fengzhou". If it weren't for the barricades under the city gates and the neatly inspected soldiers, no one would have been able to tell that this place was in wartime.

Jill got out of the car first to get into the city, and Bao Yuan and I were still sitting in the car.

Thinking about coming to the Ling family, they often come and go in Fengzhou City, so when they entered the city, the road was smooth, and after a while, our group settled in the city inn.

Arrange a stop, Bao Yuan took people to the city to investigate, and I was accompanied by Ming'er to rest in the inn.

Not long after, Jill came back after delivering the goods and told me about the current situation in Fengzhou City.

After months of fighting against the Zhou army, commerce and trade in the city had been affected to some extent, and when Jill came back to talk about the depression in the city's markets, Ming'er and I were very worried.

"Sister, why don't we go downstairs and sit down, eat something, and listen to the gossip of the market by the way, maybe we can help the emperor collect useful information." Ming'er said.

"Well, that's exactly what I thought." I got up and straightened my clothes and walked slowly out the door.

This inn, upstairs accommodation, downstairs is the wine shop, at the moment is the meal, there are many people sitting in the hall, looking at the clothes are more businessmen.

I wondered in my heart and said to Ji'er: "Ji'er, now that during the war, trade is not prosperous, why are there so many merchants here?" ”

"My cousin doesn't know, this Fengzhou is known as "the throat of Qinshu, the key to the north of Han", I heard my brother say that Fengzhou has Tianshui, the land of the ancestor Fuxi in the west, Longnan in the southwest, the rich Hanzhong in the southeast, and the place in the west of Qiguanzhong in the north, which is the oldest settlement area of Chinese ancestors. And the climate here is pleasant, the products are abundant, since the Qin and Han dynasties have been set up in the county, has always been the only way to go out of Shu to the place of trade in Hanzhong, so the successive dynasties here is also the place where the soldiers must fight. Jill took a sip of tea and spoke.

I nodded and sighed, "No wonder, I just don't know when calm will return here." ”

As I was talking, I could only hear someone at the next table talking about the war, and I was busy listening carefully, only to hear a man in his forties who looked like a businessman saying, "I didn't expect the medicinal materials sold this time to sell at such a good price, Brother Li, why don't we transport some more to sell?" ”

"No, we'd better get out of here sooner." The man who was called Brother Li was a man in his fifties, with a full beard.

"Why? This Fengzhou City has also been fighting for three or four months, and I have not seen the Zhou army attack, and I have not even reached the city downstairs...... I heard that it was General Li Tingqi Li who led the troops to guard this time, he has experienced a hundred battles, and Fengzhou should be safe. ”

"It's hard to say, I also heard that Wang Jing, the commander of the Later Zhou Army, has also led troops for many years, and he has also attacked eight camps of our Shu army before."

"Brother Li, how can he grow his ambition and destroy my Dashu Weifeng, that Wang Jing and my Shu army have fought repeatedly, I heard that the grain and grass are no longer connected, a few days ago I also heard that there was a Zhou army pretending to be a businessman to buy grain everywhere......" The middle-aged man's face was triumphant.

"Brother Wang Xian, what you said is certainly reasonable, but what is certain in wartime, we should go home early, and we must not lose our lives for money." The bearded man was a calm man.

Later, the two said something irrelevant, and then paid the bill and left.

I pondered the mention of the Zhou army's lack of food in the conversation between the two of them, if this is indeed the case, then the end of the battle of Fengzhou will not be too far away, but I don't know if the result is that the Zhou army is desperate, or withdraw the troops and leave?!
