The lady may not be human

As soon as she heard that it was a letter from the capital, Dong Nuan's heart skipped a beat, as she didn't have much to do, and after a few words with the manager, she hurried down the mountain.

The letter that Shi Qing came to deliver in person was an urgent letter.

After receiving the letter, Dong Nuan opened it for the first time, and after reading it, his complexion immediately changed.

Shi Qing watched Dong Nuan's expression change, and was still a little worried.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going back to the county government office." After reading the letter, Dong Nuan quickly put it away, and then ordered someone to prepare the horse.

As soon as Shi Qing heard that horses were going to be prepared, he immediately got ready.

Dongnuan quickly rode back to the county government office, and Hanjianglou was sorting out paperwork and planning these things at the moment.

When Shi Er said that Dong Nuan had returned, he was still a little surprised.

It stands to reason that Dong Nuan was busy at Huiguang Village, and he would not come back until evening, or he went directly to look for it, and when he came back suddenly, Hanjianglou had a bad feeling in his heart.

And this premonition soon became a reality.

"The magistrate of Dingzhou treasoned the country, united with the South, and directly sandwiched General Wu and his border city in the middle. The second sister sent someone to pass the news secretly. General Wu was already prepared, but the situation of the second sister is unknown now." Dong Nuan After returning, he dismissed the other maidservants, and then hurriedly spoke.

The emperor also knew that Dongnuan had a good relationship with Cao Xinyao, so he didn't mean to hide the news about Cao Xinyao. He told Dongnuan as much as possible about the news he came back from the investigation.

Cao Xinyao's current whereabouts are unknown, according to reports from the spies in Dingzhou Fucheng, Cao Xinyao is not in the prefect's mansion either.

But now that Dingzhou has fallen, and with General Wu in the middle, how much does the prefect of Dingzhou know about the border city?Do you know about the military situation?The emperor didn't tell Dong Nuan, and he didn't know if it was related to military secrets, so it's not convenient to say or what.

He only mentioned Cao Xinyao's situation a bit more.

The emperor was afraid that Cao Xinyao would have nowhere to escape, so he finally went south to join her. He said in advance to make Dong Nuan ready.

Although the Zhou family was said to be treasonous, Cao Xinyao was credited with reporting the letter in advance. As long as she and the Zhou family were separated at that time, the emperor would not let the affairs of the Zhou family involve her again.

Hearing Dongnuan's words, Hanjianglou's heart skipped a beat.

He thought that the situation in the northwest might not be good, but he never expected it to become like this.

Now the court has to worry about other things, but they don't need to worry about them.

But Cao Xinyao...

Although it is said that the two people made friends at the beginning, they both had their own purposes.

But the relationship these years is not fake. Even though the distance is far, there is no chance to meet each other, but there are letters every year, and Cao Xinyao secretly sent her a lot of beef jerky.

This love is true, Dong Nuan is really worried about her now.

After some hesitation, Dongnuan tentatively opened his mouth: "I think..."

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Hanjiang Tower: "No, I can't let you take risks, I will go if I want to!"

Hanjiang Tower naturally understood that Dongnuan wanted to go to the northwest to find someone.

Now that no one can be found, at least there is still a glimmer of life. If the Zhou family is not a man and Cao Xinyao is caught, let alone the issue of hostages or not, Cao Xinyao will not feel better.

...

Therefore, Dong Nuan wanted to find Cao Xinyao before Zhou's family, and take her out of Dingzhou safely.

Of course, Hanjiang Tower doesn't want Dongnuan to take risks. Dongnuan has never been to the Northwest, and she doesn't know what Dingzhou is like. How can Hanjiang Tower be willing?
Dongnuan just tried to ask, but he didn't mean to go.

Moreover, the current situation in Dingzhou must be very tense. She has a special status, and the emperor sent someone to send an urgent letter to appease Dongnuan, and did not want her to take risks.

There is a Youchang country in the south, thinking that the emperor has been very upset. If Dongnuan goes to the northwest again, in case he is captured by the southern country...

The emperor is afraid that he will go crazy, when the time comes, no matter what, he will have to march to the northwest, and fight the southern kingdom with all his might!

Dong Nuan also knew that it was too impulsive to find someone, so she calmed down now, and couldn't help smiling: "As a local parent official, how can you leave? Forget it, I won't go."

If you know the location, then Dong Nuan can try to walk around.

But...

Now Cao Xinyao's location is unknown, Dong Nuan passed, if the two of them accidentally missed each other, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, the emperor didn't want her to move at first, and she couldn't resist the order, so she wouldn't give the emperor face.

Seeing that Dongnuan was no longer impulsive, Hanjianglou quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, let's wait a little longer, His Majesty will definitely send someone to look for it, and the nearest General Wu will not let the second sister go, let's just wait and see. Now, in case the second sister finds her, we are all here, so she can feel at ease."

In fact, Dongnuan is still worried, but there is nothing to do now, so I can only wait and see, and let's talk if it doesn't work.

Regarding the fact that she was almost kidnapped by Youchang State, Dong Nuan thought about it, and asked Hanjianglou to write a booklet, which was first presented to Xu Zhifu, and then sent to the capital along with other papers from Lizhou.

Winter is warm until late July, when the weather is hot.

The temperature here in Jing County is not bad, it is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer.

Of course, it is definitely hotter than other seasons, but it will not be so hot that it is uncomfortably hot.

Dongnuan felt very comfortable, but because of Cao Xinyao's affairs, Dongnuan was not at ease all the time.

And what happened to the war in the northwest, they were too far away from the capital or the northwest, so they couldn't hear any specific news at all.

It's a pity that there is no Internet at this time!

Dong Nuan sighed for the [-]th time, and then went to the orchard again.

After summer, the carriages of Mr. Liu's family came more frequently, and the carriages from Qiao's shop also came frequently.

Because there are a lot more fruit trees this year, those who ate the fruits in the winter garden last year or early spring must be thinking about it this year.

So, once I heard that I was mature.

Before the gentlemen go to pull, there are already many customers urging.

The customers almost said directly: Don't force me to kneel down and beg you, go and pull the fruit!
In late July, in Huiguang Village, the second phase of the staff dormitory was completed, and some people who needed accommodation were already preparing to move in.

Dongnuan was doing the final inspection work, the maid Chunzhi hurried over and said in a low voice: "Master, there are two women who want to see the master, I dismissed them here, but they didn't, so I came to ask the master .”

Hearing Chunzhi's words, Dong Nuan was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and guessed, could it be Cao Xinyao?
Thinking of this possibility, Dongnuan didn't bother to look at the staff dormitory, and signaled Chunzhi: "Go, take me to have a look."
