Tao Wanyan took advantage of the fact that the attention of the Beidi people fell on Shao Zheng. Led the people into the valley.

The North Gorge valley is full of dangerous peaks. It is also a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. So Tao Ling was in the valley during this time. Although the supply of grain and grass is insufficient. But it was not enough to make the army led by Tao Ling fall into decline. So much so that now. The Beidi people only dared to guard the valley mouth. But they didn't dare to attack easily.

"Be careful, everybody. I'm afraid my grandfather will treat us like Beidi. Tao Wanyan reminded the people behind her softly. Vigilant eyes keep watching the movement around them. After entering the valley. The first thing we get to is a long mountain road. Sandwiched between two peaks.

If it is an ambush here. Then they may be really other people's ancestors now. to the point of being slaughtered.

"Miss. I'm afraid that the Lord Protector won't know that you're here. When the time comes, the two sides will be at war......" Mu Xia paused. He didn't speak again.

Tao Wanyan certainly understood what Mu Xia meant. I was also worried in my heart. "But now we can't wait here for Grandpa to come out."

"Why should the seventh sister-in-law worry." Behind. Suddenly, King Ning's voice came. Tao Wanyan was taken aback. I looked back in surprise.

"You...... It's over. ”

"How could the seventh sister-in-law be so surprised. There are seven sisters-in-law who plan like this. It's easy to win. King Ning said with a smile. Then he dismounted from his horse. Commanded to the general behind him: "Put a signal." Let the Protector get out of the valley quickly. Otherwise. My seventh sister-in-law is very worried. ”

From the words of King Ning. Tao Wanyan seemed to hear a clue. His eyes looked at the unruly man in front of him with a little astonishment. "The meaning of the eighth master is ......"

"Seventh sister-in-law. I'm just afraid that it won't be explained properly. It's miserable to annoy the seventh sister-in-law. King Ning quipped.

It doesn't take long. Tao Ling really walked out with his subordinates.

In the light of the fire. Tao Wanyan saw the face full of vicissitudes. A sour nose. Mo Ran added a little grievance. "Grandpa......"

"Late girl." Tao Ling looked at this person familiarly. It's not close yet. Then I heard the sound of Tao evening smoke. Naturally, I was surprised and delighted. But he couldn't help but blame. "What are you doing here? You ......"

You also said. Learned that you were trapped in a valley for days. How could I not be worried. Naturally, I hurried over. How do you know ......?" he said. Tao Wanyan looked at King Ning. Glared at him fiercely. "It looks like I've been deceived."

This is the case. Tao Ling burst out laughing. Then King Ning also laughed. "Lord Protector. Your granddaughter's guts are not half of yours. If it weren't for her idea. How could this king win so quickly? Obtain the North Gorge Pass. ”

Tao Ling stayed in the valley all day. Naturally, I couldn't understand the meaning of Tao Wanyan's words. So there is also a slight puzzlement.

King Ning laughed. As the only one who knows what is going on. Naturally, he is responsible for explaining all the things that happened to him. "Lord Protector. Let's go back to camp first. When the time comes. King Rong Ben slowly came to the people again. ”

"Good. Let's go back to camp. ”

Later. Tao Wanyan only knew. It turned out that Tao Ling's trapping in the Beixia Valley was just a ploy by him and King Ning. Originally, King Ning already had an idea in his heart. Tao Wanyan's arrival just gave him an opportunity. Let him get the North Gorge Pass one step earlier.

King Ning. The eighth prince of Jingyao Kingdom. Take the name Hao. Jing Hao. Jingsang has a total of eight sons and six daughters. Among the eight sons. In addition to the two smaller princes and the twelve princes below, they also lived in the palace. The rest have their own mansions outside the palace.

The Eighth Prince is an exception.

The Eighth Prince is the only heir of the current queen. When he reached the age of sixteen, he went out to fight all year round. For several years. It can be regarded as a great achievement. Jing Sang is particularly fond of it. It is precisely because he has been fighting abroad for many years. That's why Tao Wanyan has been here for so long. I haven't seen him yet.

See you this time. Jing Hao left a very deep impression on her.

Obtain the North Gorge Pass. Tao Ling ordered a banquet to celebrate. One said that it was for the North Gorge Pass; The second said that it was to defeat the Northern Di army.

But because the war is tight. Although it is a feast. No one drank much. And they dispersed.

Tao Wanyan stayed outside the tent alone. Sit by the fire. But there was an indescribable melancholy in my heart.

"Miss......" Mu Xia walked over. Looking at Tao Wanyan.

"Mu Xia. Let all the people in the Ewha House disperse. Tao Wanyan stretched out her hand and held the wooden branch next to her. A few times of fiddling with the burning wood in the fire. "I want to go back to the imperial capital."

Suddenly. I really want to see Jingye.

Mu Xia didn't say anything. But he understood the meaning of Tao Wanyan's words. They never needed to say anything to each other. This was the case with Tao Wanyan in the past. The same is true of Tao Wanyan now. Shen Xia also walked over. The two men looked at each other. Mu Xia was reluctant to speak. After all, it was Shen Xia who opened his mouth. "Miss. The agarwood dagger can be used well. ”

"Agarwood dagger." Tao Wanyan looked at Shen Xia in surprise. There was a strangeness in his eyes. "How do you know it's called the Agarwood Dagger?"

Tao Wanyan took the dagger from her waist. A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "It's sharp."

"Sharp, of course. It was this knife that Concubine Zhuang used to save King Ling's life. Shen Xia then spoke. With a hint of resentment on his face. Then there was a slight melancholy. "Miss. DID YOU KNOW. The agarwood dagger is a family heirloom of Concubine Zhuang. Now it has passed into the hands of King Ling. I don't know if King Ling knows what this agarwood dagger represents. Actually gave it to you. ”

Tao Wanyan looked at the dagger in her hand in surprise. His eyes were full of surprise.

How can it be. Didn't Gu Hongming give her this dagger? I didn't want to bring it. But when I think about it, I can protect myself. And it's easy to use. It is several inches longer than a normal dagger. It's a short knife. And it won't be like a sword in the way. I brought it with me.

But I don't know. This is given by Jingye.

So what is the meaning of this...... And what.

"Shen Xia. Mu Xia ...... "Reach out and clench the dagger in his hand." Tao Wanyan's eyes added a wave of joy. "Let everyone in Ewha House disperse. You will leave with me tomorrow to return to the imperial capital. ”

Heart. There was another urge to wait to see Jingye. I want to see that person more than ever.

After Shen Xia and Mu Xia were ordered to retreat. Tao Wanyan fell into the memories of the past alone.

Every expression on Jing Ye's face was released in front of Tao Wanyan's eyes. Over and over again. Brought Tao Wanyan. It was indescribably moving. She didn't even notice Jing Hao coming to her.

"Seventh sister-in-law......" Jing Hao called Tao Wanyan. only to find that she didn't feel anything at all. I couldn't help but speak again. "Tao Wanyan...... Tao Wanyan ......"

Until Jing Hao stretched out his hand and dangled in front of Tao Wanyan's eyes. Tao Wanyan came back to her senses. Hurriedly put away the agarwood dagger. looked at him with a hint of embarrassment. "Eighth master. It's so late. I haven't rested yet. ”

"Didn't you rest too?" Jing Hao asked with a smile. His eyes fell on the agarwood dagger that Tao Wanyan was holding tightly. "Agarwood dagger. Scold. Ancient Miaoli's Stuff...... You have it in your hand. ”

Ancient Miao Li.
