Rucui's face turned green and said: "At that time, the rules were taken out to scare people, after all, I haven't seen the real thing, so I'm not afraid." ”

Qing'er sighed.

Speaking of which, several girls around her are nominally girls, and each of them is like a young lady, and she has learned a useful craft, which is better than many girls from small families. There are no concubines in the Ming Mansion to have sex with them, there are few private secrets, and the slaves who make mistakes are at most driven out of the house, and they do not shout and kill.

When I arrived in Shu and lived in the palace, the rules were big.

Although she also dealt with a lot of nails, those people were secretly and silently confiscated, and the girls around her had never seen them once.

"If you're afraid, let's hurry up and don't have to sleep in the wilderness at night." Qing'er looked at the map, and this part of the road was estimated to be spent in a farmer's house for one night. Looking at Rucui's appearance, it is estimated that it is better to enter the city.

"Okay."

Rucui nodded vigorously, and was so busy that she didn't want to spend the night in the wilderness.

The journey was so fast that they stopped at noon to eat a little dry food, and the two continued on their way. In this way, it was still dark when the gates of the city were about to be closed, and they were worthy of entering the city.

The inn is still on the noisy street, and the opposite door is Zhong Jingyan's shop.

Qing'er and Rucui lived in the inn, ordered food and asked Xiao Er to send it upstairs, and after eating, Xiao Er sent hot water. After Qing'er washed up, she went to bed early. Rucui was also tired, but she was afraid and didn't dare to sleep, and she was really sleepy with her eyes staring, so she fell asleep.

On the other side, Zhong Jingyan received a letter from Qing'er to come over, and the whole person couldn't sit still.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to see Qing'er as soon as possible, but who knew that people had not come in the past half a month, and when he received the letter, he realized that the person was still halfway on the way, and he had just walked half the way. His face was inexplicably gloomy, and in the next few days, he trained those soldiers with bloodless faces, and everyone was about to be unable to get up before they were relieved.

Sun Shou and Sun Xi were also uncomfortable, although they didn't understand why they were angry with the prince, they were all honest.

"Lord Wang, news in the capital." Sun Shou came in from outside and put the news in his hand on the table.

Zhong Jingyan opened it and looked at it, his face was slightly gloomy, "Pass the order, so that everyone must not relax their vigilance to prevent being attacked by others." ”

"There's going to be a war over there?" Sun Shou asked with some excitement.

"It's not the capital, it's a barbarian." Zhong Jingyan put the news in his hand on the candle flame and lit it, threw it into the charcoal basin, and then said: "Uncle Guo traveled thousands of miles through Shu and arrived at the territory of the barbarians, just to unite the barbarians and swallow the Shu land." ”

Sun Shou's face turned pale, "Wouldn't it be that if we make a move with the barbarians, there will be movement in the capital." ”

Zhong Jingyan sneered, "How can it be so easy to free up your hands to deal with me." ”

The barbarians in the south are restless, but it does not mean that the tribes in the north are peaceful, you must know that there are frequent wars in the north. Although they are all small fights, they have not stopped all these years.

Now that the Holy Lord has just ascended the throne, he wants to gnaw his bone, but he doesn't know that the tribes in the north are also waiting for an opportunity.

In the past few years, he can see that the northern tribes are just for temptation, and also to show weakness. constantly harassing the Central Plains, they don't want the imperial court to find out about their small actions. Today, the saint is a fool, and if he doesn't take the northern tribes seriously, there will always be times when he suffers.

"Does the prince have a plan?"
