Han Li pretended to be relaxed and said, "I don't dare to lie to you, Miss Ling, if you don't have a letter tomorrow, I will personally bring a team of people over, how about it?" ”

In fact, Han Li had come to find General Xiao today, he wanted to discuss with General Xiao, if there was no safe reply from His Royal Highness the Second Highness tomorrow, he wanted to take someone to go there himself, but he was worried about Ling Zhiqiao's safety.

Han Li went to the barracks first, and didn't see General Xiao, so he came to the General's Mansion here, thinking that he had to comfort Ling Zhiqiao in advance, if he really wanted to go to the Second Highness, it could be regarded as disobeying the Second Highness's order.

Ling Zhiqiao was a little skeptical after listening to what Han Li said, she thought for a moment and asked, "Guard Han, you just came to me?" ”

Han Qian thought, let's tell the truth, even if he has ten hearts, he can't hide it in front of Ling Zhiqiao.

"Miss Ling, your subordinates are actually here to find General Xiao, if your subordinates go to find Your Second Highness, you won't be able to protect your safety in the capital, Your Second Highness will take your subordinates' lives if they know about it."

Ling Zhiqiao had a suddenly realized expression, she couldn't help but smile and pointed at Han Li and said, "Guard Han, you have also learned to speak without being straightforward now." ”

Han Li smiled awkwardly and was just about to speak, when Ling Zhiqiao suddenly said with a cold face: "If your Second Highness is in danger, you still think that he can take your life, and he is still waiting for you to save your life!" ”

"Besides, you see where this girl can use your protection, just those two Hanhan, now they are inseparable from me except for sleeping, Miss Ben just goes to the toilet, and she also shouts outside for a long time."

"Guard Han, hurry up, go to your uncle to discuss, Miss Ben needs to get the news of Dusk Yunhan immediately, immediately."

The more Ling Zhiqiao spoke, the more anxious she became, the more angry she became, a feeling of pain swelled up in her chest, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.

Han Li hurriedly put his fists together and saluted: Miss Ling, you, don't be angry, I'll go to General Xiao. ”

"Wait, I'll go with you! Something happened in the house just now, my uncle may not have calmed down, and I don't feel at ease, I'll go with you. ”

Ling Zhiqiao said and motioned for Han Li to go together, out of the Dream Garden, Han Li asked Ling Zhiqiao, "What happened in the house?" Could it be that something happened yesterday? ”

"What can happen to the practice? But it's pretty much the same. Ling Zhiqiao lightly told Han Li what happened from last night to morning.

Han Qian thought, my good girl, this kind of trick can only Ling Zhiqiao come up with. ”

He looked back and asked, "Miss Ling, why didn't your subordinates see Da Han and Er Han, didn't you say that they would never leave you?" “

Didn't you say it just now, those two Hanhan took Ling'er to kowtow to Mama Qin, it is estimated that Ling'er will come back when she kowtows a thousand heads, don't worry, the general's mansion is still safe. ”

Han Li asked with some concern: "Then General Xiao will definitely feel very uncomfortable when he knows the cause of Mrs. Zhengmu's death, how will he deal with Mrs. Lu?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao sighed and said, "It seems that God punished her for her uncle, who would have thought that Mrs. Lu would go crazy?" I still have a lot of tricks that I haven't used, I guess she hasn't done it yet, and she can be very comfortable with the bad things she has done. ”

"If Madame is really crazy, presumably my uncle can't do anything to her, if she is fake crazy, I want to see how long she can pretend?" Ling Zhiqiao said a little unwillingly.

Entering Xiao Qian's courtyard, Ling Zhiqiao asked the subordinate guarding the door: "The master is in the house, can he call you?" “

The servant replied softly: "When the general came back, he locked himself in the house, and there was no sound inside, and we did not dare to go in." ”

Ling Zhiqiao asked her subordinates to flash aside, and she said to the house at the door: "Uncle, Guard Han is here, he wants to discuss the affairs of His Second Highness with you, are you okay?" Can Joel go in? ”

Although Ling Zhiqiao said that she wanted to go in, she didn't push the door, but just put her ear to the crack of the door to listen carefully to the movement inside.

After a long while, she heard Xiao Qian say inside: "Come in!" Aren't you tired lying down in the crack of the door? ”

Ling Zhiqiao stuck out her tongue, turned around and beckoned to Han Li, then gently pushed the door and walked in.

After only seeing her for a while, Ling Zhiqiao felt that Xiao Qian was a lot haggard, and she couldn't bear to say: "Uncle, it's Qiao'er's, it's Qiao'er who makes Uncle sad." ”

Xiao Qian raised his eyes and saw Han Li behind Ling Zhiqiao, so he asked, "Let's get down to business first!" Guard Han, but I didn't hear from His Royal Highness II?"

Han Li immediately replied: "Exactly, General Xiao, today is the second day that His Royal Highness has arrived at Yongfeng Pass, according to our agreement, we should have received a message from His Highness yesterday to report his safety, no more than three days." ”

"The subordinates thought that if there was no messenger coming tomorrow, they would take a team of people from the guard battalion to Yongfeng Pass to have a look? It's just that His Royal Highness gave an order before leaving, letting his subordinates stay in Kyoto to protect Miss Ling's safety. ”

Xiao Qian interrupted Han Li's words and said: "The old man understands, Qiao Er's safety, Han guards don't have to worry, if you really go, the old man won't let Qiao Er go out, and the mansion will send more people." ”

Ling Zhiqiao thought to herself, it's over, if this Han Li leaves, I will still be locked up, but she can't refute it now, and she can only be silent.

Xiao Qian continued: "If there is no news of His Second Highness tomorrow, the old man will send Centurion Qin Yong to lead a team of men and horses with you. ”

"Thank you, General, then we will wait for another day, Miss Ling doesn't have to worry, within three days, we and the Second Highness have agreed."

Ling Zhiqiao could only comfort herself, nodded and said, "Okay then!" Just listen to you and your uncle, and wait another day. ”

Ling Zhiqiao told Xiao Qian again: "Uncle, don't go to the barracks today, take a good rest, your body is important." ”

Xiao Qian pondered for a moment, got up and asked, "Qin Xue doesn't believe you, she found a doctor for her mother?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao nodded: "She will definitely not believe me, she will naturally find a doctor in the medical hall, and the doctor in the medical hall will definitely prescribe a prescription for Mrs. to calm her nerves, and she is not sure when it will be good as I said." ”

"Where's that maid Ling'er?" Xiao Qian asked with his hands behind his back.

"I asked Da Han and Er Han to take her to kowtow to Mama Qin, after kowtowing a thousand heads, Qiao Er hasn't figured out whether to forgive her or not, but after all, I don't want to send her to the official, uncle, what do you think?"

Xiao Qian sighed and said: "You girl is as kind-hearted as your mother, she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, since you have decided, I will listen to you, Mrs. has been dead for so many years, and today I will give her an explanation, the old man feels very guilty, but it is useless to pursue it now." ”

"What else can the old man do to that crazy woman? What if she's really good? If she wants to lose her life, she will not be relieved, if it is not good, even if it is cheap, tell the people in the house that from now on, she will not be allowed to go out of the yard for half a step, whether she is crazy or not. ”

"Send two more guards over to take care of it, if Qin Xue sprinkles, she will say that the old man said it, she loves it or not. Tell me to go down. ”

Ling Zhiqiao replied briskly: "Got it, uncle, you won't blame Qiao Er for taking out the relics of the eldest lady!" ”

Xiao Qian took out the red coral chrysanthemum hairpin from his arms, as if he was muttering to himself: "This hairpin old man should still take it with him!" At that time, the old man didn't want to see this hairpin, he was afraid that he would think of his wife, he didn't want to enter the dream garden, and he was afraid of thinking of your mother, so he asked Mama Qin to put it away for safekeeping. ”

"In the end, I didn't expect it to be the old man's clumsy eyes and marry a vicious woman."

"Let's go! The old man still walked with Han Li, and we went to the barracks to study the topographic map again, so that we could know where it might be delayed.

Ling Zhiqiao originally wanted to tell Han Li about his trip to the vicinity of the Tiankun Fengyin, but he was afraid that he would provoke Xiao Qian's complaints if he said it, so he thought about it and observed it in private.

When Han Li followed General Xiao to the barracks to study the topographic map, Dusk Yunhan and the others were indeed still in Yongfeng Pass at the moment.

On the first day they arrived at Yongfeng Pass, they had already sent back messengers, and the post station messengers sent on the surface also took the road back to Kyoto through Qi Snow Mountain, and in private, Duyun Han ordered Li Hu to send one of his own people back, and took the road back to Kyoto by detouring to Guozhu Mountain.

The reason why Du Yunhan sent two messengers back was mainly because he was worried that the messenger of the post station would delay the journey in Qixue Mountain, although it was an urgent letter sealed with red paint, but after all, it could not be told that it was the message of the current second prince.

Twilight Yunhan thought to himself that no matter who was fast or slow among the two people who sent the message, one of them would always arrive first, and such a double guarantee would be to let Ling Zhiqiao know that she was safe as soon as possible.

On the second day of Yongfeng Pass, Twilight Yunhan still didn't see the spies who had sent back news from the Western Regions.

At this moment, he stood on the wall of the Yongfeng Pass City Gate, looking into the distance, out of the Yongfeng Pass at the end of the line of sight, the place where the green disappeared entered the boundary of the Western Regions, and the commander of the Yongfeng Pass who accompanied him spoke: "Second Highness, if you go out of the pass, you will have to walk for three or five days to the next place with supplies, I advise you to wait for another day after tomorrow." ”

Twilight Yunhan asked, "If you are not in a hurry, why does this king have to break through Qi Snow Mountain overnight, tomorrow we will go out of the customs first to explore the way, and maybe we can meet someone who comes back." ”

The commander of Yongfeng Pass never knew about the attack on Twilight Yunhan in Qixue Mountain, because when Twilight Yunhan and Jiang Dawei were discussing who the masked person was that day, Jiang Dawei's proposal was not unreasonable.

What Jiang Dawei told Dui Yunhan was that from the time they entered Yongfeng Pass, all the food and water, the soldier commander Li Hu had warned them in advance, that they should use the small silver needle they carried with them to check it, even Dui Yunhan's was no exception, but it was very hidden.

This made Du Yunhan unexpected, Jiang Dawei also said that since they could be attacked even if they passed through Qi Snow Mountain overnight, they didn't dare to guarantee that there were no spies in Yongfeng Pass.

And guessing and guessing, the last two people agreed that the person with the mask was not Nangong Ying, but it must be someone who knew Jiang Dawei, then maybe it was someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and someone must be watching them.

In fact, although they have been standing still in Yongfeng Pass these days, they have not been idle, and they have already planned the route out of the pass or back to Kyoto, and the commander of Yongfeng Pass said that it will take three or five days for the next supply place, but Du Yunhan and Li Hu have studied the map and decided that if there is no way, if they have to get out of the pass, they will take the Devil's City, which no one dares to take, and that road is the fastest shortcut to reach the Western Regions allies.

If the spies come back, then when they return to Kyoto, they will not go to Qixue Mountain again, they will take a detour to Guojia Mountain.

This pot helmet mountain is shaped like its name, like a black pot bottom upside down on the ground, the mountain is full of black rubble and gravel, when the night is dark, some stones can still burst out of the green fire, also called the ghost volcano by the nearby villagers, but fortunately there is no tree on the mountain, even if you want to hide someone, you can see it from afar.

The commander of Yongfeng Pass knows that he can't resist Du Yunhan, he is also the commander of a small city pass, and the Tiangao Emperor is far from happy to be the boss at this small pass.

As soon as Twilight Yunhan came, he waited fearfully all day long, and it was the first time in his life that he could get along with the prince in the palace, he was afraid that what he said and did would make Twilight Yunhan dissatisfied, and when the time came, he didn't even wait for this little official who was finally become the commander of his city pass.
