It has only been a month since he left Beijing, and he has crossed two years.

Xiao Siyu came on a trip, but only half of the important things were said.

For example, the four princes were crowned kings and established mansions. The eldest prince and the second prince also became concubines.

For example, he is no longer the king of Jin, but the crown prince......

There is also Ziyun who didn't stop it, and Yuliu said the gossip indignantly: Although the holy decree of the crown princess was not issued, after the palace banquet, Shen Qianyang, who had no skin and no face, had frequently and openly entered and exited the prince's mansion......

After Ye Zhao's poison was detoxified, his body improved quickly.

Early in the morning, Ye Nian accompanied him to try out the first practice in the backyard, and suddenly someone in the palace hurriedly announced her entry into the palace!

She appeased Ye Zhao, changed her clothes and hurried into the palace on horseback.

As soon as Ye Nian entered the Longteng Palace, he felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified, except for Xiao Siyu and Xiao Jin, Luo Guifei was actually there!

Ye Nian leaned over and saluted: "The last general will see the emperor, the concubine Niangniang!" ”

The emperor's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Get up!" ”

"I don't know why the emperor asked the last general to come?"

The emperor raised his hand and picked up a copy of the recital in front of him, and Li Dechang hurriedly took it and held it in front of Ye Nian.

Ye Nian opened it and saw that it was a group of bandits from Fu County, Tongzhou, who occupied the mountain as the king, robbed the house and did all kinds of evil.

The officers and soldiers of the encirclement and suppression were repeatedly defeated, and the prefect was on the fold of asking for help.

Ye Nian finished reading it and asked, "Does the emperor want to send the last general to suppress the bandits?" ”

The emperor frowned, "If it's just a bandit, you don't need my little Aiqing to go out!" Uncle Luo Guo and his entourage set off from Jiangnan to attend Concubine Luo's birthday banquet next month, but they have not heard from him for five days. Fuxian is the only way to go, I want you to lead the troops out of Beijing immediately, and escort Uncle Guo and his party to the capital safely, do you understand? ”

Ye Nian nodded and asked, "How many people are there in Uncle Guo's party?" Where was the last news coming? ”

The emperor looked at Luo Guifei, Luo Guifei's eyes were red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief.

Xiao Siyu opened his mouth: "Uncle and aunt and cousins, plus five accompanying subordinates, a total of nine people, two carriages, five men and four women, the last news came was when I first entered the territory of Tongzhou." ”

"Didn't the local officers and soldiers send someone to escort them?"

"My uncle is a low-key person, and he travels lightly to Kyoto every year. In addition, there are businesses all over the way, so I don't want to bother the officers and soldiers. ”

Ye Nian nodded, "Then the general will immediately lead the troops to set off!" ”

Xiao Siyu took a step forward: "Father, my son is worried that my uncle wants to go together." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Old Five, you go with Ye Nian." ”

Xiao Siyu frowned slightly.

Xiao Jin was a little surprised, but his eyes immediately lit up happily: "Erchen obeys orders!" ”

I can finally leave the capital and go out to play!

If it weren't for his uncle's uncertain life and death, he would have jumped up happily!

"Fortunately, my father didn't come with me this time, otherwise the Luo family's sky would have collapsed!"

Luo Guifei's face was haggard, and she bowed her head at Ye Nian with red eyes: "Please, General Ye!" ”

Ye Nian hurriedly leaned over and returned the salute: "The concubine is serious!" ”

Xiao Jin helped Luo Guifei and said, "Don't worry, concubine, Ah Nianding and I will bring our uncle back safely!" ”

Ye Nian glanced at Xiao Jin, a little disgusted.

She can't feel Xiao Siyu's sentence at all: The fifth child is no worse than me......

thinks that this guy is completely a drag oil bottle except for knowing Uncle Guo and his party!

Ye Nian led the troops in a hurry and rushed to Tongzhou on the third day.

The tent was set up twenty miles outside the city of Fuxian.

Xiao Jin was a little confused: "Ah Nian, why don't we go into the city?" ”

Ye Nian replied to him: "If Uncle Guo and they have fallen into the hands of bandits, the army will enter the city and startle the snakes, which is not conducive to rescuing the hostages!" ”

Xiao Jin nodded and asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Vice General Liu, arrange for a few people to dress up as ordinary people and go into the city with me to inquire about the news of Uncle Guo's party."

Liu Jian responded and went to arrange.

Xiao Jin hurriedly said: "I'm going too!" ”

Ye Nian glared at him: "You stay here obediently, don't make trouble for me!" ”

Xiao Jin was unhappy: "Don't underestimate me, my ability to find out the news is first-class, I don't know which gossip in the capital!" ”

Ye Nian thought about it, but nodded.

She dressed in women's clothes and entered the city with Xiao Jin pretending to be a husband and wife.

During the day, Fu County is very depressed, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets.

Ye Nian and Xiao Jin walked on the street, a little dazzling.

Talented ladies are rare in this county, let alone this eventful season.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin took Ye Nian's hand, took her into his arms, and whispered: "Ah Nian, there is something wrong with this rich county!" ”

Ye Nian nodded slightly without a trace, and said in a coquettish voice: "Xianggong, I'm hungry!" ”

Xiao Jin got goosebumps, pulled the corners of her mouth and asked her with a smile: "What does the lady want to eat?" ”

Ye Nian glanced at the small shops on the street and pointed to the steamed bun shop in front.

Xiao Jin pulled her in, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted her: "What do you want to order?" ”

Xiao Jin glanced at the menu on the wall and replied: "Two drawers of longan buns, two bowls of white fungus soup." ”

The shopkeeper was busy preparing, and after a while, the buns and porridge were served.

Ye Nian took a bite of the bun and talked to the shopkeeper with a smile: "This bun tastes excellent!" ”

The shopkeeper was very happy and boasted: "My little shop has been open on this street for more than 20 years, and there used to be a long queue at the door." ”

"Oh~ Is there anything wrong now? I don't think there's anyone on the street! ”

The boss's face changed, he looked at the door in a panic, and smiled unnaturally: "No... Nothing, don't worry about it! ”

After saying that, he hurried to the back kitchen.

Xiao Jin and Ye Nian glanced at each other, tacitly.

After a while, Xiao Jin shouted, "Boss, another drawer of buns!" ”

The boss hurriedly came out of the back kitchen, put down the bun and turned around and left.

Xiao Jin called out to him: "My lady and I came to your place for the first time, and I want to ask if there is a good inn in this city where you can rest?" ”

The boss's face tightened, looked outside, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you come to Fuxian?" ”

Xiao Jin smiled and replied: "I want to take my lady to the capital for a visit, passing by here." ”

The boss glanced at Ye Nian, saw that she looked stunning, and lowered his voice to persuade: "It's still early, it's better to hurry early after your guests finish eating, and you can rush to Tongzhou City before dark." ”

Ye Nian frowned and looked at Xiao Jin, and said, "Xianggong, people are tired today and don't want to hurry!" ”

Her voice was soft, with the shyness of her daughter's family, Xiao Jin was a little uneasy for a moment......

Suddenly, Ye Nian glared at him fiercely, Xiao Jin came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, lady, after eating, we will find an inn and leave tomorrow!" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his voice was a little anxious: "There has been some unrest in this city recently, and the distinguished guests should listen to my advice and go out of the city early!" ”

Xiao Jin smiled disappreliably, took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, "Thank you for the kindness of the shopkeeper!" We're just staying for one night and won't be moving around. You don't have to look for the silver! ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Nian: "Lady, let's leave after eating!" ”

Ye Nian got up cooperatively, Xiao Jin stepped forward to hold her hand, but just turned around but was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Distinguished guests stay!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the door, looked at it carefully, and closed the door.

Xiao Jin hurriedly protected Ye Nian behind him.

The shopkeeper walked over with a very uneasy face: "I won't tell you that there is a gang of bandits here, who commit adultery and plunder!" There are their eyeliner everywhere, and Mrs. Zun has such a look, if the bandits know about it, they will definitely take advantage of the night to kidnap people! ”

Ye Nian pretended to be scared and pulled Xiao Jin's sleeve tightly.

Xiao Jin frowned and asked, "Won't the government do anything?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, a little helpless: "That bandit leader is quite powerful, not only powerful and powerful, but also scheming. The county commander also sent people to encircle and suppress at the beginning, but he suffered defeats one after another, and even the garrison sent by the governor of the same state suffered countless casualties and suffered big losses when they surrounded and suppressed the bandits! The bandit was lawless and took away the daughter of the prefectural magistrate in retaliation. ”

Xiao Jin and Ye Nian were a little dignified on their faces, Xiao Jin said: "This thief is really hateful, so the county magistrate watched his daughter being taken captive?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was a little angry: "A few days later, his daughter came back unharmed, but since then the officials and bandits have become a family, and it is only us ordinary people who suffer!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The county magistrate was afraid of the bandits, and acquiesced in their recklessness in this city, where guests disappeared every month, and even if they were reported to the government, no one would accept them. But the one who reported to the official suffered, either the family was ruined or the person died. ”

Ye Nian looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "In that case, the shopkeeper is so enthusiastic, isn't he afraid of retaliation?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and his eyes reddened: "When the Tongzhou garrison came to encircle and suppress, the bandits took most of the young men in the city and went up the mountain, and my only son was among them, and now his life and death are unknown." The insider's thoughts become sick, and I can't afford to be sick, what else am I afraid of now! ”

Ye Nian asked him, "Do you know how many bandits there are on the mountain?" ”

The shopkeeper wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a little surprised, why did this little lady's momentum become a little different?

"The villain doesn't know, he only knows that the men in the city have been captured and nearly 100 people have been arrested."

Ye Nian bowed his head, "Let me ask you, have five men and four women and two carriages appeared in the city in the past few days?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Which restaurant is the least inaccessible in the city, do you know?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Mrs. Hui, although the inns in the city are not safe, the most missing guests are the Qixian Tower five hundred meters ahead!" ”

Ye Nian pulled Xiao Jin's sleeve and walked towards the door with him.

She paused, "What's your son's name?" ”

Although the shopkeeper didn't understand what she meant, he replied: "The dog's name is Zhang Tianen." ”

"If he's still alive, he'll definitely come back!"

The shopkeeper froze in place, watching the two of them push the door and leave, or was shocked by Ye Nian's momentum, and felt that her words were inexplicably convincing......
