The next morning, Xiao Yi came to the mansion and chatted with Qin Tao for a while, and found that Tang Xuexin was packing up his things, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.

was naturally outspoken to Xiao Yi and Qin Tao, so he told him about going to the Haoling Empire.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi said with a little disappointment: "Brother Lu, I haven't heard that you are going to the Haoling Empire yesterday, how can you be in such a hurry." ”

Qin Tao replied with a smile: "It's a trip that has already been booked, mainly because I have some important things over there." ”

"That's fine. Brother Lu, Xiao still has something to do here, so I can't accompany you to go, take care of yourself all the way!"

Qin Tao was so excited that he couldn't speak, so he could only thank him with the same fist. It is also a pleasure to have a brother like Xiao Yi in life, and suddenly a trace of relief rose in Qin Tao's heart.

After sending Xiao Yi away, Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin went out, the two of them were two fast horses, and they didn't drag so much. As for the mansion, Qin Tao is not worried, no one in Yanjing has the courage to dare to touch the things given by the king, and Xiao Yi also promised to order someone to come and take care of it.

Galloping fast, Qin Tao and the others entered Wanyang City in the evening and settled in a quiet inn in the city.

"If it goes well, it is estimated that we will be able to reach Beidaying at noon tomorrow. Tang Xuexin, who was packing up her things, suddenly spoke.

Stopping teasing Dongdong, Qin Tao straightened up and said, "Yes, I hope it goes well." ”

"Are you going to dress like this to go to the Haoling Empire?" Tang Xuexin asked, staring at the red turban on Qin Tao's head.

Touching the turban, Qin Tao smiled and couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

Tang Xuexin was speechless for a while, then flipped up in the soul ring, and said as she flipped over: "Are you still wearing that coachman's suit?"

"It's still the same set, it's more comfortable. Qin Tao replied without thinking.

But he didn't notice that Tang Xuexin's face changed slightly at this time. You must know that the horse-husband-like dress was tailor-made by Li Rongrong for Qin Tao, although the two are just sisters and brothers, Tang Xuexin still can't suppress the sour vinegar in her heart.

Putting the clothes on the table, Tang Xuexin didn't even look at Qin Tao, and continued to pack her things. And Qin Tao didn't notice Tang Xuexin's changes, and continued to tease Dongdong.

The night passed calmly like this, and the next morning, Qin Tao changed into the groom costume and drove the carriage to carry Tang Xuexin out of Wanyang City.

Tang Xuexin sat in the carriage with Dongdong in her arms, and it seemed that she still had lingering feelings about what happened last night.

Perhaps time has diluted the hatred, although the Haoling Empire has not completely found out the real culprit of the assassination of Leng Yuntian, it is not as heavily guarded as before. Therefore, Qin Tao's carriage was able to smoothly enter the territory of the Haoling Empire.

The carriage galloped across the wide plains of the river valley and reached the boundary of the North Town at noon.

At this time, Tang Xuexin had already figured it out, since she loved Qin Tao, she had to believe him. And now that they're together, what else would make her feel uneasy.

Tang Xuexin blushed unconsciously for her childish behavior, and immediately shouted outside the carriage: "Brother Tao!" At the same time, a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

"What's the matter, Xue Xin?" Qin Tao replied in surprise.

Tang Xuexin didn't say a word along the way, Qin Tao only thought that the girl was a little tired, but the sudden sound surprised him a little.

Holding Dongdong, Tang Xuexin opened the car door and jumped along the edge of the carriage, and suddenly fell beside Qin Tao.

Looking at Tang Xuexin, who was suddenly smiling, Qin Tao's surprise became a little heavier, and he couldn't help blinking.

"Why are you so curious, I just want to sit next to you. Tang Xuexin said coquettishly.

Qin Tao smiled, whipped the horse, and then looked at the magnificent river valley plain in the sun and said, "Xue Xin, sometimes I really want to give up the mundane insistence and indulge in this great river and mountain with you." ”

Tang Xuexin gently leaned on Qin Tao's shoulder and said softly, "Then let's wait for this matter to go on a tour, how about it?"

Qin Tao smiled, put his palm on Tang Xuexin's shoulder, and murmured, "I hope there won't be an accident......

After noon, the two arrived at Emperor [***] Beida Camp. But unlike last time, the current military camp actually made Qin Tao obviously feel a hidden dullness.

was led into the military tent by Lu Wentai, Qin Tao saw a trace of melancholy in the eyes of his second uncle, coupled with the strange atmosphere in the previous military camp, he couldn't help but be puzzled.

After Qin Tao and the others sat down, Lu Wentai sent his subordinates away, and after confirming the safety around the military tent, he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Slightly stunned, Qin Tao asked in the same low voice, "What's wrong?"

Along the way, the Haoling Empire was no longer as heavily guarded as before, and Qin Tao thought that Leng Yuntian's matter should be over. However, seeing Lu Wentai's expression, Qin Tao had to wonder again.

Looking left and right, Lu Wentai sighed heavily, forcibly endured the sadness in his heart, and said, "Father was arrested......"

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Qin Tao was stunned, looked at Lu Wentai in disbelief, and stammered: "You say...... What ......"

Tang Xuexin on the side was also very surprised, a dignified imperial marshal would be arrested and imprisoned, whether this happened too hastily in the situation between the two countries. The same question also lingered in Qin Tao's mind, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?"

Lu Wentai eased up and said, "Since those two annihilators were sanctioned by the Purple Moon Empire, the imperial family ordered the troops of the Northern Battalion to assemble. After his father gave the order, he personally supervised it, and the imperial army was then ready to go......"

Tang Xuexin, who heard this, couldn't help but be shocked, if the Haoling Empire sent troops, then it would definitely win a victory.

"But ......," Lu Wentai continued, "just as the army was about to be dispatched, the king ordered his father to be arrested......"

"What's the charge?" Qin Tao interjected.

Lu Wentai laughed dryly and said, "Collaborate with the enemy and treason......"

Qin Tao lowered his head, if Lu Lin collaborated with the enemy and treason, he would be the one who could not get rid of it.

Gently patting Qin Tao's shoulder, Lu Wentai said: "Tao'er, you don't have to blame yourself, we don't mean to resent you." It's just that my father was told by the villain......"

The fist on the table suddenly clenched, and Qin Tao's eyes burst into flames of anger, and he roared angrily in his heart: "Haoling Empire, you deceived me Qin Tao too much!"

Although Tang Xuexin felt sorry for Lu Lin, she was also relieved, she had heard of Lu Lin's name before, this marshal of the enemy country was definitely the "God of War" on the battlefield, the nightmare of the Purple Moon Empire.

Taking out a letter from the soul ring and handing it to Qin Tao, Lu Wentai said: "This is left by my father when he left, saying that he will give it to you when you come." ”

After receiving the letter, Qin Tao hurriedly opened it and looked at it. The main content of the letter is Qin Tao's life experience.

One snowy night, a friend of Lu Lin suddenly came to his house and took Qin Tao, who was still in infancy.

The friend said that Qin Tao was his grandson, and he couldn't take care of him because he was in danger, so he asked Lu Lin, hoping that the Lu family could adopt Qin Tao.

Out of righteousness, Lu Lin readily agreed to come down and regarded Qin Tao as his grandson, and raised him all the time.

In the letter, Lu Lin did not mention Qin Tao's biological parents, nor did he say the real reason for entrusting him to foster care, but only mentioned at the end that his friend was called Ling Shan, who was the "Jade Yin Venerable" of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

After reading it, Qin Tao immediately lit a flame and burned the letter. He probably had a preliminary understanding of his life experience, and if he really wanted to figure it out, he had to find the "Yuyin Venerable".

Lu Wentai was not interested in the content of the letter, he knew what it said. Patting Qin Tao on the shoulder, Lu Wentai said: "You don't have to worry too much about your father's affairs, it is impossible for the imperial royal family to treat your father well." However, my father said that you must leave as soon as you get the letter, because it is no longer safe here. ”

With a sigh, a heaviness suddenly rose in Qin Tao's heart. From beginning to end, Lu Lin didn't have a trace of blame and thought about him everywhere, how could such a strong love not be touching.

Qin Tao, who originally wanted to save Lu Lin, dispelled his childish thoughts, and now the best way is to believe in the second uncle and leave here.

Nodding slightly, Qin Tao got up and said, "Second uncle, grandpa's business is entrusted to you, Tao'er will leave it to you." As he spoke, he bowed to Lu Wentai.

Lu Wentai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Take care all the way." ”

However, just as Qin Tao was about to leave, a cold shout suddenly came from the deep mountains in the distance of the barracks: "Qin Tao!
