At the same time, An An took Nina, and after a journey day and night, she finally came to the border area adjacent to the land of the Heavenly Glowing and the highlands.

Looking down from the cliff, the military camp where Layla was stationed had already appeared in front of her, but at this time, the expression on An An's face seemed a little dignified for some reason.

Nina looked around aimlessly, and thought to herself: I didn't expect the development of the towns in this area to be quite good, a thriving scene, and I don't know if it was because there had been no conflict here for many years. I just don't know if this place will still be able to maintain such vigor after this war.

Thinking of this, Nina couldn't help but glance back at An An, and then said, "Why was your expression so solemn when you first arrived here? Could it be that when you arrived at the front line, you found out that you were not Bai Li's opponent, and you were stunned all of a sudden?"

An An replied somewhat nonchalantly: "Of course not." The grievances between me and Bai Li, I never felt that I was sure of victory, let alone that the country of Heavenly Glowing was still in such a situation. I'm mentally prepared for everything. ”

"So what are you thinking about now, why do you look like you're frowning?" asked Nina, a little puzzled.

An An pointed to the camp under the cliff and said, "I just feel a little headache." I'm sure you've heard that the commander here is a female general named Layla. This Layla, not to mention her tough personality, has a very bad relationship with the royal family. At the same time, she has always looked down on the pampered princes and nobles in Fengrui City, and thinks that they are just a bunch of arrogant wastes who can only talk on paper and are arrogant. I don't think she'll give us a good look this time. ”

Nina was a little unimpressed: "So what? you have come with a knighthood from the king, who has made it clear that you will command the army against the invasion of the highlands. Does she dare not obey the king's orders?"

"If it's as simple as you say, then Layla isn't Layla. An An took a slight breath, and then said, "The soldiers stationed here are actually the same as Layla. Caught between the powers, Tianying's forces are weak, so even if the army is stationed at the border pass, it will not play the slightest role in deterring neighboring countries. What do you think the army is here for, in such a situation? They stayed for Layla, and because they disdained the vain calculations of Fengrui. And such a person, do you think they will obey me because of a command from the king, not to mention, because of my status, Layla's attitude towards me is only worse. ”

"Identity, what identity?" Nina wondered.

"Layla, actually, is my aunt. ”

"Layla is your aunt, in that case, you should be at least better than the other princes in her impression, why do you say that she will treat you worse?"

An An's tone became a little helpless: "Why do you think the relationship between Layla and the royal family is so stiff? It's because my mother insisted on marrying into the royal family despite the opposition of the family. And you see the results. Soon after they got married, my father was killed in battle. The mother was grief-stricken and depressed, and finally left with her father. And the royal family's negative attitude towards this matter made Layla very dissatisfied, and the conflict between her and the royal family completely broke out at that time. As far back as I can remember, she never gave me a good look when I was a child, let alone now. So you also have to be mentally prepared in advance. ”

Nina had no choice but to nod helplessly to show her understanding, but she couldn't help but think: I can't imagine that there are so many bad things in their family!

An An looked up at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he sent his men down the mountain with them.

However, An An did not rush to meet Layla and them, but came to the border market first, intending to see the situation here first.

It's not because there hasn't been a war for some years, but the situation in the border areas here is pretty good. This is mainly due to the fact that both the Highlands and the Land of Heaven are close to the sea, and the border between the two countries is a thriving place for seaborne fishing, so trade has gradually become prosperous, and the circulation of goods and currency has always been quite active. Therefore, although it is not as prosperous as the city of Two Moons, you can still see a lot of new things in the market.

Because Nina brought a lot of things and heavy things, An An asked his subordinates to find a place to rest temporarily, while he and Nina wandered around the market casually.

Nina's attention was soon drawn to the novelty of the knick-knackgets in the stall, and her mind was full of thoughts about what their structure was, and where to start if she was going to copy one;

An An followed Nina unhurriedly, seemingly casual, but in fact quite carefully paying attention to the layout of the house here and the crowds coming and going.

"An An, look! This mechanical bird is quite ingenious, it's rare! Buy one!" Nina stared at the delicate mechanical bird in the hands of a street stall owner, and her eyes lit up at the same time.

Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly smiled and said, "This little girl's vision is really good! This mechanical bird has just arrived recently, and it sells well!"

An An was not moved at all, but said casually: "Sister, what are you doing buying such impractical things? It's better to save up this spare money, so that when you have to run for your life, it may come in handy."

Nina was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted: It seems that An An is now hinting that she and him are pretending to be brother and sister, and wants to find out some information about this place from the boss!

So Nina immediately answered in understanding: "Okay then, brother." I don't want this mechanical bird......" Her tone contained a little reluctance and entanglement, and it really looked like something was going on.

Seeing that my sister was persuaded by her brother that her business was about to turn yellow, the stall owner really immediately fell into the trap. He was a little anxious and said, "What this little brother said is a bit serious. Although the current situation between the country of heaven and the highlands is unknown, our area has been developing and operating for more than ten years, and the foundation is still there. And we all believe that the army of the Celestial Glowing Country has the ability to protect this village, so there will be chaos here for a while. ”
