Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
There were originally a lot of guards left in the abandoned village, and in addition to Luan Yu, Pan'er brought more than a dozen guards on the road, with a total of three carriages, which was not too eye-catching.
She didn't say anything about going to the border city, but just told the old marquis before leaving, the old marquis looked at Pan'er and asked with a serious face: "Do you have to go?" β
Pan'er nodded: "If you don't go, your granddaughter-in-law will definitely regret it." β
The old marquis took a sip of the clarified honey wine, nodded lightly, and said casually: "Since that's the case, just go." β
I didn't expect the old marquis to be so good at talking, Pan'er couldn't help but be a little surprised for a while, at this moment Luan Yu had already packed up her things, she didn't want to delay any longer, and blessed the old marquis, and went out of the house directly.
Before getting into the carriage, Pan'er turned her head to look at the courtyard where the Ling family lived, she didn't plan to tell the Ling family about going to the border city, if she did, she would definitely not be able to go.
Lifted the curtain and sat steadily in the carriage, Xiaobao's face appeared in his mind, Pan'er couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in her heart, and sighed lowly. Xiaobao is still young, staying in the capital is the safest, she didn't plan to take the child on the road from the beginning, in case this time she really has three long and two short, she can't let her only son also suffer.
Ling's family only learned about Pan'er's departure a day later, after all, Pan'er, as a daughter-in-law, is Xiaobao's mother-in-law, and she will come to her every day to say goodbye. Yesterday, Pan'er threw her sleeves and left, which made the Ling family angry, and today she found that the woman didn't even care about her own child, and she was even more annoyed, she rushed to Pan'er's yard angrily, but found that it was empty, and there was no one at all.
The guards guarding outside the courtyard saw that the old lady's face turned blue, and he wondered in his heart, and whispered:
"Madame went out yesterday, as if she had gone to the border city......"
The Ling family never expected that Lin Pan'er would have such the courage to go back and forth to the border city for a few months, and this woman made her own decision and didn't inform her, she was really bold.
Secretly snorted, the Ling family couldn't get used to Pan'er messing around, after all, she was not a noble person of Ah Liang, what was the use of going to the border pass? It's just adding to the chaos, besides, women can't be allowed to get close in the barracks, after all, women are heavy and unfavorable to the war, and now her son is at a critical juncture, Lin Paner is still going to mix, she is really an ignorant village woman with no eyesight.
Ling Shi trembled with anger, and shouted at the guards: "Send someone to chase after you and bring someone back to me!" β
Because of the ups and downs of his mind, Ling's voice became very sharp, and the guard was also startled.
"Old lady, this matter was promised by the old marquis, and it is not appropriate to chase after it......"
The old marquis is Ling's father-in-law, even if he has not been in charge of things for a long time, but the famous name when he was young, Ling did not dare to forget it at all, she was excited, and her hot head was awakened in an instant, frowning tightly, and said to the grandmother beside her:
"Prepare the car."
Mama Li was a little surprised and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Princess's Mansion."
Mama Li is the confidant of the Ling family, and she naturally knows what happened in the Huguo Temple yesterday, and at this moment, the old lady wants to go to the princess's mansion, I am afraid that she already has a plan.
After staying in the abandoned village for such a long time, Mama Li also knows that Mrs. and the general have a deep relationship with the husband and wife, even if the princess is noble, with the general's temperament, I am afraid that she will not take a second look, and the twisted melon is not sweet, why can't the master understand this truth?
She couldn't help but persuade: "General Jiren Tianxiang, he will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties, it is better not to visit Princess Yining first......"
Ling waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more." β
Seeing that the master had a straight face, with a serious face without a hint of a smile, Mama Li also knew that she was really angry, so she didn't dare to persuade again, so she directly ordered people to prepare the carriage, and the master and servant rushed to the direction of the princess's mansion.
From the waste village to the princess's mansion, you have to toss for an hour or two, it is said that the female relatives of high-ranking families come to visit, and they generally have to pay their respects in advance, otherwise it will be a little rude, but think about Princess Yining's careful thoughts about her son, probably she will not care about such a trivial matter.
The carriage stopped in front of the princess's mansion, and Mama Li walked in front of the guards guarding the door, her chubby face was full of smiles, and said: "My master is the old lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and I want to ask to see the princess today. β
As soon as he heard that it was a person from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the guards didn't dare to take it big, after all, General Dingbei had the skill of being a dragon, and he couldn't afford to provoke him.
The guard quickly went in to pass the word, entered the lobby, knelt down in front of the gorgeous woman sitting on the couch, and spoke:
"Princess, the old lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion is outside the door, do you want to invite someone in?"
"Old lady?" Princess Yining repeated it softly, remembering the identity of the Ling family, which was the general's biological mother!
Her delicate cheeks were stained with a hint of crimson, and she urged, "Go and get someone in." β
After the guards went out, Princess Yining turned her head to look at the grandmother beside her, and asked with some apprehension: "Grandma, do you think the clothes I am wearing today are still in order?" If it doesn't work, change to a ......"
The old lady with a wrinkled face glanced at Princess Yining disapprovingly: "You are a daughter, even if you have so much thought about General Dingbei, you don't have to be low and small about the Ling family, just treat each other with a normal heart, after all, General Dingbei has already married a wife, and this matter may not be successful." β
Hearing this, Princess Yining, who was originally a little excited, seemed to pour a basin of cold water on her head, and she was a little sober.
When the Ling family was brought to the lobby, Princess Yining stood up directly, greeted people at the door, and said affectionately, "Why is Mrs. Ling here?" β
The Ling family had never met with Princess Yining before, but they had heard of this golden branch and jade leaf, and his life was a little hard, and he killed his fiancΓ© to death and became a widow.
When I saw it today, the Ling family found that Princess Yining was really good, even if it was not as good as Lin Pan'er, but she had a heavenly nobility on her body, which was pleasing to the eye.
"It's not a secret, the concubine came to visit the princess today, and she has something to ask for." As he spoke, Ling glanced at the maid waiting in the room as if inadvertently.
Princess Yining understood, waved her hand and motioned for the people to retreat, leaving only the old lady by her side.
"Mrs. Ling has something to say, if she can help, this palace will definitely not refuse."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ling's face, and he was a little more satisfied with Princess Yining.
"Yesterday, the concubine went to Huguo Temple, please ask the abbot of Huiming to unsign, the abbot said that my son's luck this year is not good, the woman of the royal family is my son's nobleman, if you can be accompanied by the border city, it will be smoother......
The concubine knew that this request was too much, after all, the border city was thousands of miles away, and the princess was a noble woman, so she shouldn't be tired because of these unwarranted trivial things, but the concubine was Ah Liang's mother, and there was really no other way, so she came to the door with a cheeky face. β
Princess Yining bit her lip and wanted to speak, but her sleeve was pulled by the old woman beside her.
"General Dingbei is the hero of the Daye Dynasty, it is said that in this case, the princess should indeed help, but after all, the princess is a daughter's family, if she rushes to the border city for the man, she is afraid that her reputation will not be saved."
Ling Shi hesitated a little on his face and asked:
"How can the princess be willing to go?"
"If General Dingbei becomes a concubine, it is reasonable for the princess to go to the border city, and no one can say what is wrong."
Hearing the old lady's words, Princess Yining made a big red face, but did not refute.
Ling gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If the princess is willing to go, I will make the decision on this matter, and when the war is over, I will go to the princess's mansion to hire." β

Pan'er also suffered a lot in her early years, sitting in the carriage all the way bumpy, she was pregnant again, it must be uncomfortable, but she didn't show it at all, but the pale face made Luan Yu look very distressed, and wanted to persuade her to let the coachman slow down the trip, but Mrs. didn't let go.
After more than 20 days of tossing and turning, the carriage finally arrived at the border pass.
The border city is very different from the capital, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, although the clothes are simple and plain, but regardless of men and women, young and old, they are all taller and stronger than the people in the capital, Pan'er lifted the curtain, and saw that most of the vendors on the side of the road are women, and they know that the people here are open.
Chu Liang is in the city at the moment, as a general of Dingbei, the level of the county guard is not as high as his, so he directly gave up the mansion to Chu Liang and the soldiers around him to rest.
When Pan'er arrived at the county guard's mansion, the guards guarding the door had been in the abandoned village for a while, and when they saw Mrs. appearing in front of them, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and it took a long time to say intermittently: "Why is Madame here?" The general is discussing with the generals, and his subordinates will take you in. β
Frequent wars in the border city, before Chu Liang rushed over, this city was not broken by Agutai, fortunately there were many soldiers under him, although the courage was not as good as the Huns, but it was not much worse, plus the border city was dangerous, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Huns were repulsed.
Walking to the northwest, Pan'er only felt that the weather was getting drier and drier, and the wind and sand were also big, even if she applied the fragrance and balm brought by Luan Yu, her face was still a little dry and peeling, and finally she really had no choice, smelled the snuff bottle, got some spiritual spring water out, mixed it in the ointment, and applied it to her body to gradually get better.
In the hall, the faces of the soldiers were solemn, and it was obvious that the war was not optimistic.
Suddenly, a guard hurriedly entered the house, leaned over and said something in Chu Liang's ear, the man's handsome face suddenly distorted, leaving a sentence of "everyone wait a moment", and then strode out of the threshold, looking at the appearance, fortunately, there was an evil ghost chasing behind him.
The county guard is not small, and after walking all the way, Pan'er was tired and panting, and his little hand patted his slightly bulging lower abdomen, and just wanted to sit on the stone bench, there was an angry roar behind him.
"Lin Paner!"
Pan'er was startled, hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw the man's hideous appearance, she was not afraid, and muttered in her small mouth: "With such a big anger, doesn't the general want to see me?" β
Chu Liang gritted his teeth with hatred, grabbed the slender wrist of his little daughter-in-law, and grinded his teeth: "Do you know what the border pass is?" I didn't even say hello and came over, you! You! β
"I naturally know what kind of place this is, anyway, it's here now, even if the general chases me, I won't leave."
