Red makeup against the world

Chapter 826

Jinyang moved, and the prince secretly returned to the army.

He divided the army into two, marched all the way to the northwest, conquered lost ground along the way, and captured the back road of Duanba's army in Daizhou.

Go south all the way through Hengzhou, and rush towards Jinyang along the way.The order given to this route is to try to catch up with the Ba family army, if one or two troops can be wiped out, then there will be military merit.

The war in the Northland has now reached a fever pitch and is about to break out.

Ba Kunlin thought he had a plan, and the elites of all the ministries rushed towards Jinyang like fierce tigers.

The prince evacuated Jinyang, leaving an empty city to lure him.Wu Zhengxiang led the Xiao cavalry guards to investigate the spies, and the shadow guards obeyed Wang Leyu's order to haunt the darkness.

Jiang Chen watched the situation with cold eyes.Even his subordinates don't know where his next move will be.

……

The river was windy, and the Luoshui pier was crowded with moored boats.From the few words of the people who got on and off the boat, they all revealed the tension and uneasiness about the war in the Northland.

Unlike the time they fought against Tubo, people in the capital had all heard of the prestige of the Bajia Army.

It is precisely because of such an army of hundreds of battles guarding the northern border that the Turks have never broken through the border since the previous dynasty.

But now, this army is actually pointing the finger at the capital, and marching south with the grandson of Prince Yong, wouldn't it make people panic?
However, the emperor in the palace has not shown up for a long time, and the former prince was deposed. After King Qi becomes the prince, he can lead the army northward.All of this added a chilling atmosphere to Luoyang City.

After Feng Mingxian's defeat, Lin Xingchao escaped from the palace and hid in Luoyang.

News of the war in the North was flying all over the sky, Daizhou and Shuozhou were bloodbathed, and the Bajia army was supported by all people.These news were all spread in the streets and alleys of the capital through the hands of Lin Xingchao.

Fortunately, the people in Beijing have a kind of blind worship for Emperor Qinglong.It was determined that the emperor would definitely deal with these rebels from the Ba family army, so they did not flee Luoyang City in large numbers.

In the midst of such chilling, a two-story ship without a banner slowly berthed at Luoshui Wharf.

Tu Manfen was wrapped in a thick squirrel fur cloak and walked in front, followed by several servant girls who were accompanying her. After getting off the boat, she got into the carriage and walked towards the city.

The costumes of Xiao Qiwei were too eye-catching, so Feng Qi led his subordinates to dress up as ordinary guards, guarding both sides of the convoy.In the flow of people coming and going at the pier, their convoy was light and easy, not conspicuous.

After entering the capital, the oppressive atmosphere became more and more obvious.Even when the convoy passed through Nanshi, they couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the past.The voices of peddlers along the street sounded a little panicked.

Xu Wanzhen quietly opened the curtain a crack and looked outside.The number of pedestrians on the street has decreased by half, and people's expression hastily changed, and their faces have become serious, completely losing the elegance and demeanor of Luoyang City in the past.

Although the palace is busy, with Empress Cao in charge, it is not chaotic.Every afternoon, Mr. Ning would go to the palace to teach the princess as usual.

She received news that Tu Manfen will arrive in Beijing today.So she cleaned up her yard ahead of time, but the person entered the palace.

The carriage stopped outside the Chuihua Gate, and a woman greeted her courteously, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is back, and the husband will say it several times every day."

Glancing at the strange maid and guard behind her, she was slightly surprised.When Tu Manfen left Beijing, there were not so many people.

Tu Manfen took a step forward, blocking her gaze, and said: "The bodyguards invited in Beidi, please set up a banquet in the front yard as a reward."

The mother-in-law quickly woke up, she came back from the Northland.There is a war there, isn't it dangerous?He hurriedly said: "The eldest lady said so, but the old slave is so cruel, it must be properly arranged."

Xu Wanzhen followed behind Tu Manfen, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes into Tu Manfen's yard.

Yinping and Zhiyan took out their luggage and settled it.Zhiyan was really calm enough, seeing Xu Wanzhen pretending to be a maid, she didn't ask too many questions, just doing her own job well.

After entering the room, Tu Manfen looked a little guilty, "Cousin, I have wronged you." In Xu Wanzhen's identity, it is indeed wronged to pretend to be a maid.

"What are you talking about?" The earth dragon was burned in the house, which was quite warm.Xu Wanzhen took off her cloak, looked back at her and said with a smile, "I appreciate your help even before it's too late."

Seeing that Tu Manfen wanted to say more, Xu Wanzhen stepped forward and took Tu Manfen's hand, and said softly: "Sisters, don't see each other like this. Thank you so much, I don't know how long I will be polite."

The boat and the car are exhausted, and the journey is dusty.

The little maid in the yard fetched water, Yinping and Zhiyan waited on them to clean their faces and wash their faces, and only after changing their homely clothes did they feel refreshed.

It was near noon that the boat docked, and I had some lunch on the boat, and I was hungry.

According to Xu Wanzhen's intentions, Tu Manfen asked her mother-in-law to fix the banquet for Fengqi and others, but instead put them behind.

However, Tu Manfen can understand the intention of this.

Fengqi and the others are not their personal guards, but knights who eat the royal food.With their abilities, it is really overkill to concede to the duty of a guard.

Escorting them all the way to the south, Wu Zhengxiang only gave this order because he was really worried that Xu Wanzhen might make a mistake.

Such elite guards cannot be hired by ordinary people with money.Whether it is public or private, it should be treated well.

There were only their two masters in the inner courtyard, so Tu Manfen asked Xu Wanzhen for advice, and asked Yinping to go to the kitchen to order two bowls of tomato omelet and noodles.

When the steaming hot noodles were served, Xu Wan couldn't help being a little pleasantly surprised by the familiar smell.

The tartness of the tomato and the aroma of the fried egg come together beautifully, with the addition of verdant chives.Such a simple ingredient, cooked with an excellent delicious taste, is mouth-watering.

But how long had she not tasted it?
The last time she ate it was when she cooked it for her younger brother in her previous life.

In that big and somewhat empty house, there were two people, two bowls of noodles, and two pairs of chopsticks.The steaming aroma from the noodles warms the air.

Unfortunately, not long after that, she was brought into this world by the Dian Soul Cloud Bracelet.

Rough calculations, in fact, only three years have not tasted this taste.But Xu Wan's heart felt as if it had been a lifetime away.

Her eye sockets were a little wet, and she looked up at the sky outside the window, forcing back her tears.

"What's the matter?" Tu Manfen asked with concern, "But you can't get used to the taste?"

Xu Wanzhen calmed down, shook her head lightly and said, "No, I'm just thinking, I don't know what Yu'er is doing right now."

Tu Manfen knew that it was Xu Wenyu who was kidnapped that day that made her fall into the trap.The two siblings are deeply in love, and she just returned to the capital, so she should be worried about him.

Thinking of this, she changed the subject and said, "I have eaten this tomato noodles at Mr. Ning's once or twice, and it is very delicious. So I asked Yin Ping to go to the kitchen to learn this skill, and come down occasionally to taste it."

She picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Don't be dazed, it won't taste good when it's cold."
