Chapter 113
After a cup of tea, two brothers from the Su family arrived in a carriage with a few stray arrows stuck in the carriage, and the driver was covered in mud and was in a terrible state of distress.

Tao Zi was taken aback, "Look, Madam, what's wrong?"

When the carriage approached and stopped, when the door opened, Su Yan and the two fell off the carriage with a thud, their hair was disheveled, their clothes were also scratched, and there were faint bloodstains.

"Ma'am, we have encountered bandits!"

"Scary to death!"

"My two brothers almost died in Yuhu Mountain!"

……

The two cried and cried, as if they had been greatly frightened, and they were still in shock.

The eldest lady got up and walked down the gazebo, looked at the two of them indifferently, and asked, "What's going on?"

The two looked at each other, and Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Go back to Da Furen, my two brothers came back from visiting a friend, passing by Yuhu Mountain, they happened to encounter bandits blocking the way, those bandits were fierce and fierce, and took the two of us All the money on us was taken away, and we wanted to kill people to silence them, so we escaped with all our might!"

"Yes, yes, along the way, I was worried that Da Furen would also encounter bandits, and I was in a panic!" Su Yan added.

"It's good that the eldest lady is fine, but all the bank notes on us have been taken away. When I see my father, I will ask the eldest lady to intercede for us two brothers!" Su Yu had a bitter expression on his face.

"You haven't snatched any money yet?" The eldest lady's face remained unchanged, with a pair of beautiful eyes with a piercing light and a touch of sarcasm.

"Yes, how dare we fight head-on with the bandits, the cash and notes have been taken away!" Su Yan said with a guilty conscience.

The lady said, "It doesn't matter if the money is gone, as long as people are free, let's go to the city!"

"Yes, let's go to the city as soon as possible. Father must have been waiting impatiently. It's just about the banknote being robbed. Please ask the eldest lady to explain a few words to our brothers in front of father!" Su Yan said with a sneer.

big lady

With a soft smile, he walked to his carriage and told the driver to go to Beijing.

The two Su Yu brothers looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and hurried into their carriage.

The wheels rolled, and they got on the official road again, heading towards the city gate of Shengjing.

"Eldest Madam, do you think that the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master really met bandits?" Tao Zi watched the two brothers act coldly just now, and felt that the acting was too real and too hard, and it seemed fake instead.

Da Furen's complexion remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, anyway, the money is gone!"

Taozi pursed her lips and smiled knowingly, no wonder she wanted to drive them away and go their separate ways. The money must have been gone when she was in Fuyang. She had heard that the two brothers of the Su family spent a lot of money in the brothel!

Pour tea for the lady, Tao Zi
Asked, "Madam will help them speak?"

"I don't need to talk, they have their own mothers to protect them!" Da furen held the silver lock tightly in her hand, and said in a low voice with downcast eyes.

Taozi snorted softly and stopped talking.

After a stick of incense, the majestic city gate of Shengjing can already be seen, and more and more people are entering and leaving the city on the official road.

Tao Zi raised the curtain of the car and exclaimed, "This capital city is really magnificent, the city walls are tall and mighty!"

The eldest lady looked out along the gap, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Shengjing City, her eyes gradually deepened. It has been 18 years, and she never thought that she would come back this day!
Many past events that had been forgotten came flooding back in an instant.

The scenery of this Shengjing is still the same, the bustling is still the same, but, things have already changed!
When she was a child, the Bai family was still famous, but now it has long since declined!

The carriage entered the city together with the pedestrians, and the ears suddenly became lively.

Shengjing is the first capital of Daliang. Compared with other cities, Shengjing is more prosperous. The pavilions and pavilions are more magnificent and exquisite. The flags of restaurants and teahouses flutter in the wind.

After entering the city, people from the Su family were waiting inside the city gate, and hurriedly led the eldest lady and the two brothers of the Su family to the current Su family's house.

At this moment, Mrs. Su and Ms. Su had just returned home. Mrs. Su had two teeth knocked out and her waist was injured. She was sitting on a chair with the help of her servants, crying out in pain.

Miss Su was crying like a tearful person beside her.

Su Wenqian scolded with a wrinkled face, "Can you please stop, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"

Su Lin cried, "Our daughter is being bullied, you don't vent your anger on her, now that my concubine is being beaten like this, you still blame me for losing your man! Since my concubine is an eyesore to the master, I might as well just die." !"

As he spoke, he struggled to get up and wanted to bump into the corner of the table.

Miss Su hurried to stop her, "Mother, mother!"

Su Wenqian sighed heavily, "Enough! Is it over?"

Su Lin's body twisted and her waist was injured, she fell off the chair with a plop, and fell on the ground crying loudly.

Su Wenqian sighed repeatedly.

The room was bustling, so I heard someone report, "Master, Second Madam, Da Madam and two young masters have come to Beijing, and now the carriage has arrived outside the gate of the house!"

"Ah, Yan'er and Yan'er are here!" Su Lin stopped crying when she heard that, got up on the ground, wiped away her tears and ran out in a hurry.

Su Wenqian and Miss Su hurriedly followed behind.

Outside the Su residence, the eldest lady and Su Yan got off the carriage, and the second lady hurried out, shouting in surprise, "Bailer, Yaner, mother expects you to come!"

"The child has seen his father, mother!"

The two brothers Su Yu and Su Yan greeted Su Wenqian and Su Lin's family one after another.

The eldest lady looked indifferent, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Su Wenqian hurriedly greeted him with a solemn expression, "Ma'am!"

Miss Su walked to the side of the eldest lady, lowered her head, with a humble and humble appearance, "Mother has worked hard all the way, my daughter will help you in!"

The eldest lady looked coldly, "No, you are not my daughter, don't call me mother!"

Miss Su's face turned pale, she looked embarrassed, and withdrew her outstretched hand in embarrassment.

Tao Zi stepped forward and said, "Let's help Madam, I don't dare to bother Second Miss!"

Miss Su took a step back, lowered her head halfway, her eyes gleaming coldly.

Everyone in the Su residence called her Miss, but the people in Jingshui Pavilion always called her Second Miss, as if to remind her not to forget her status as a concubine.

The second lady turned her head and said with a smile, "Sister, Qiu'er has been adopted in your yard, and now she is your daughter, so it is right for her to be filial in front of you!"

"I didn't pursue the matter of letting Yueqiu pretend to be Yuejiu to come to Ji's mansion to get married without telling me before. I didn't care about it, and I didn't want to care about it. Now that Yueqiu has married into Ji's mansion, I won't say anything more. , but Yueqiu is still your daughter, you don’t need to call me mother, and I won’t recognize her, I have a daughter myself!”

After the eldest lady finished speaking, she stepped into the door.

Su Linshi, Su Wenqian, and Ms. Su stood there, embarrassed and speechless for a moment. After a while, Su Linshi snorted coldly and went to greet her son again.

Everyone entered the lobby, and the servants came over and said, the lady is tired, she has gone back to her room to rest, but don't come!

The eldest lady's not coming is just in line with the second lady's wish, so she didn't ask any more questions at the moment, just asked the two brothers Su Yu to ask questions.

Su Wenqian sat on the chair, saw the eldest lady, and inexplicably remembered the girl he saw in Ji's mansion that day, both in appearance and temperament, she was somewhat similar to his wife when she was young.

If he and the eldest lady's daughter hadn't died back then, she would be so old now.

Back then he was confused, afraid of getting involved with the Ji Mansion, so he listened to the second lady's words and temporarily sent Yue Jiu away.

Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the middle of the river, and his daughter died in vain.

When the second lady told him that Yuejiu was on the boat, he was really angry and sad, wishing to beat Su Lin to death.

But after all, death cannot be resurrected, and his other three children still need a mother.

The eldest lady frantically looked for Yuejiu everywhere, but he never dared to tell her that their daughter had fallen into the river and died.

However, Su Wenqian soon lost the mood to think about these past events, because the Su brothers were robbed by bandits on the road, and all the 5 taels of silver they got from selling their properties were robbed.

Su Wenqian was so angry that he didn't get up in one breath, and fell straight backwards.

"Master, master!" Su Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly supported Su Wenqian to comfort him.

Su Wenqian came up slowly in one breath, and vigorously brushed the teacups on the table, throwing them all to the ground, with a crisp bang.

Miss Su exclaimed, jumped behind the chair and hid.

Su Yu and Su Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Father calm down, my brother and I are useless, we should fight to the death with the bandits to save the money!"

"That's 5 taels!" Su Wenqian said with trembling eyes.

This is not just 5 taels of silver, it is all his family property in Fuyang for so many years, and it was snatched by bandits all at once.

He was also confused, why didn't his brothers hire bodyguards to escort them to Beijing.

"My lord, they are not willing to do this either. They are lucky to have survived the bandits. How can they care about the money? Is the money more important than the son! You forgot, when Yue'er came to Beijing, those descendants Everyone was killed by bandits!" Mrs. Su Lin interceded for her two sons.

Su Yu and Su Yan knelt on the ground, their eyes flickering, their heads bowed in guilt and they dared not speak.

"Have you reported to the official?" Su Wenqian asked hastily.

"My son escaped and went to Beijing. I'm in a hurry before he comes!" Su Yu replied in a low voice.

"Quick, go!" Su Wenqian said while avoiding his feet.

Su Yu and Su Yan hurriedly got up and walked outside.

After going out, I heard Su Wenqian's panting.

Su Yan asked, "Brother, are we really going to report to the officials?"

Su Yu said, "So what if we really went, we just said we were robbed, who knows if it's true or not? It's fine if the officials can't find it!"

"Yes, yes!" Su Yan giggled, he was finally fooled by the matter of Yin Zi,
The big stone in my heart also fell to the ground.

Leaving aside the fact that the two brothers of the Su family went to report to the officials, Miss Su didn't dare to stay any longer when she saw something happened at home, so she took her maid and went back to Ji's mansion in desperation.

It was already dark, and when Miss Su entered the door, she deliberately asked, "Is the young master in the mansion?"

The servant replied, "I haven't come back yet!"

Miss Su knew that Ji Yuxian had gone to Su Jiu's place again, her face darkened, she let out a cold snort and went back to her yard.

At this time, Ji Yuxian was outside to entertain some buyers from the palace, the banquet ended at Haishi, and he ordered people to arrange some buyers to rest, Ji Yuxian went back to the mansion alone.

In the cold night of late winter, the streets are already deserted at this hour.

The carriage turned in the direction of Ji Mansion.

"Jin Feng!" A low voice suddenly came from inside the carriage, the sexy and hoarse voice was nasal with drunkenness, revealing exhaustion.

"Young master!" Jin Feng responded immediately.

"Don't go back to Ji's mansion, go to Madam's place!" Ji Yuxian leaned on the soft cotton pillow embroidered with Suzhou embroidery, and said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Jin Feng immediately turned around and drove to Qiao An's residence.

Half an hour later, Ji Yuxian stepped into the east courtyard slowly in the dark night, and walked straight to the bedroom.

The light in the corridor was cold, and Ji Yuxian walked slowly, frowning slightly, looking at the dark window of the bedroom, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.

Pushing open the door and entering, Ji Yuxian choked for breath, and walked into the inner room.

"Su Jiu,"

Ji Yuxian usually comes here, and if Su Jiu falls asleep, he never disturbs her, but today he called in a low voice inexplicably, but no one responded.

Taking two steps forward, he suddenly lifted the bed curtains. Under the dim light, the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, and Su Jiu was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Yuxian's chest sank all of a sudden, his phoenix eyes half-closed, he turned around and walked out quickly.

With a sound of "squeak", the door was pulled open, and Ji Yuxian left the bedroom. The nanny in the corridor heard the voice and walked over. When she saw him, she lowered her head, "I have seen the eldest son!"

"Where's Madam?" Ji Yuxian asked in a deep voice.

The nanny frowned, and said in a shy voice, "Master Hu had an accident in Beijiang, Miss, she went to Beijiang to save Master Hu!"

"What?" Ji Yuxian asked in a startled voice, her thin lips pursed tightly, "She went to Northern Xinjiang? When did she leave, why didn't you tell me?"

The nanny gritted her teeth, raised her head and said, "My eldest son, the mother and daughter of the Su family came to make trouble today, Miss, she, she,"

Ji Yuxian's expression changed slightly, he took a deep breath, and asked hoarsely, "What did they say?"

"What did you say, Mr. Eldest, go ask Mrs. Ji Shao!" The nanny said with a choked voice.

There was a moment of blankness in Ji Yuxian's mind, his chest jumped violently, a surge of fear seized his heart, and severe pain spread to his body.

Swallowing, Ji Yuxian turned around and strode out.

It was nearly three o'clock, and Miss Su was already sound asleep. In her sleep, a sudden chill came over her, and then her neck hurt.

Before she could breathe and scream, the murderous man leaned forward and pinched her face with his long fingers. There was a "click", the bones of her face were broken, and Miss Su screamed.

"What did you say to my wife today?" The man seemed to have come from Shura Hell, full of evil spirits, and a pair of bewitching and beautiful eyes filled with a bone-chilling chill.

Miss Su rolled to the ground, howled in pain, and begged for mercy, "No, I, I just, please, don't pester you!"

Her face was shattered, her mouth was open, she couldn't speak, and her saliva flowed out. She felt the pain all over her body, and kept rolling on the ground.

The man narrowed his eyes, his breath was cold, he slowly lowered his body, looked at the woman whose face was deformed due to the pain, and said in a cold voice, "I really want to be Mrs. Ji's wife? Good! I will let you know how to do it." How does the Young Madam of the Ji Mansion feel?"

Ji Yuxian got up and left, went out the door of the bedroom, saw Lianboyuan's servants waiting outside the door in a row, shivering in the cold wind.

"From today on, no one in Lianbo Garden is allowed to leave the gate of the garden without my order!" Ji Yuxian said as he walked out, his voice was cold and indifferent.

"Also, starting tomorrow, Lianboyuan will only serve meals for one person!" Ji Yuxian said, then suddenly stopped and looked back, looking at Lianboyuan's astonished servants with Xiesi's long and cold eyes, he said flatly, " If there is only one person's meal, whether it is for that Miss Su or whether you share it is up to you. When the Lianbo Garden loses its master, you can leave here!"

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

There are ten people in Lianboyuan from the master to the servants of the sweeper, and only one person is provided with food every day. Are they all going to be hungry?

When will they be able to leave without their master?To be freed?
This, what does this mean?
Everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, and lowered their heads in panic.

When Ji Yuxian left Lianbo Garden, the guards immediately closed the gate tightly.

The thick night shrouded the man in the cold air. He looked into the distance and asked, "What happened to Hu Dapao?"

Jin Feng, who had been following behind him, said at this moment, "Hu Dapao was besieged on Mount Hala by the foreigners who attacked Yanyun Pass, and his life and death are unknown!"

"She went to save the cannon,"

Or avoid him on purpose?
"Get ready, I'll go to Youzhou immediately!" Ji Yuxian's phoenix eyes were full of moonlight, cold and clear.

Jin Feng was stunned, "Young Master, you still need to personally purchase things in the palace."

"Leave it to other stewards!" Ji Yuxian said, and walked quickly to the main courtyard, planning to rush to Youzhou overnight tonight.

Youzhou is at war, Su Jiu, she,

"Young master!" Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and Yu Lao quickly stepped forward to hand a letter to Ji Yuxian, "My eldest son, someone came to the door today and said that it was Su Jiuye who asked him to give this letter to you!"

Ji Yuxian took it over and quickly unfolded it,

"Don't come to me, don't make me hate you!"

It was Su Jiu's handwriting.

A hint of sourness rolled up from his heart, and beat over like a wave, Ji Yuxian's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and there was a heavy pain in his seductive phoenix eyes.

She doesn't want to see him!

Sure enough, she ran to Youzhou to avoid him!

She even said she would hate him,

With gloom in Ji Yuxian's eyes, he ordered in a deep voice, "Notify the people in Youzhou and protect the young lady!"

"Yes!"

He understood the impact on Su Jiu caused by the Su family's visit today, so he let her calm down alone, he took care of everything and waited for her to come back!
The next day, when the court was up, the sky was just dawn, the palace was brightly lit, and all the officials rushed towards the Zhenggan Hall.

Just as Qiao An entered the palace gate, she saw Xiao Lie approaching from the side. The two met, and after seeing the ceremony, they walked forward side by side.

"Does Su Jiu already know about Hu Dapao?" Xiao Lie asked.

Qiao An didn't hide anything, and said frankly, "Yes, the lady of Nangong Mansion wrote to the head of the family, and the next official said it when he saw that he couldn't hide it. The head of the house has already rushed to the northern border."

Xiao Lie was startled, "Su Jiu went to northern Xinjiang!"

"Yes, Da Pao is not only a member of the imperial court, but also a member of our Fulong Gang. The head of the family is worried, so he went in person!" Qiao An didn't sleep well all night, and under the morning light, his eyes were slightly blue.

Xiao Lie frowned, and said worriedly, "Did she go alone?"

"Ashu and Changhuan are going together!" Qiao An replied.

If Su Jiu hadn't asked him to stay, he would have gone with him.

Xiao Lie nodded lightly, his frowning eyebrows were not stretched, but he didn't ask any more questions, and entered the hall together with the civil and military officials.

The emperor has already made a decision. As soon as he came to court, he appointed Nan Gongshu as the chief general, and led a hundred thousand elite soldiers to make another northern expedition. This time, he decided to drive the Qiang and Naye tribes out of Daliang for [-] miles. They were not allowed to seek peace, and the two tribes must be wiped out. main force.

Nan Gongshu stepped forward to receive the order, to reorganize the army for one day, and set off early the next morning.

Before Nangongshu retreated, Xiao Lie suddenly said, "Father, the Qiang people are dishonest and cunning. This time, I am willing to go to the northern border with General Nangong, and I will make the Qiang people completely submit to our Daliang Kingdom!"

As soon as his words fell, all the ministers of the court were shocked.

The prince's expedition is no small matter!
Nangong Shu's eyes flickered, and he looked sideways at Xiao Lie.

Standing among the officials, Joan looked up meaningfully at the tall figure in front of him.

Xiao Lie was dressed in a prince's python robe, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome and dignified face,
With the determination to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

The emperor looked at Xiao Lie, nodded and smiled in relief.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped out, and said awe-inspiringly, "My son is also willing to go to battle to kill the enemy, drive away the foreigners, and share the worries of the father!"

King Yu stood at the front, glanced at Xiao Jing, snorted coldly, he just didn't believe that his pampered younger brother would dare to go to the battlefield, pretending to be condescending, he shouldn't be so hypocritical!
Seeing that his two sons were so courageous and brave, the emperor slapped the dragon chair with his palm and said happily, "Okay, both of your brothers have the courage to fight for the country without fear of life and death. It really makes me happy!"

"Your servant should!" Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing said in unison, bowing their heads humbly.

"Although this intention is good, you two can't both go. Jing'er, you stay in Shengjing, and I have something to tell you to do. Lie'er will be the supervisor of the Northern Expedition today, and will set off with General Nangong tomorrow!" the emperor said.

Xiao Jing immediately said, "Yes, my son obeys the order!"

He didn't really want to go to Northern Xinjiang, but now he was praised by the emperor and he didn't have to go, so he was naturally happy.

"My son complies with the order!" Xiao Lie said, and his thin lips were lightly pursed. At this moment, he could not wait to leave for the northern border.

……

After the court, Xiao Lie didn't go out of the palace, but went to Concubine Xian's palace to say goodbye.

When Concubine Rong heard that Xiao Lie was going to northern Xinjiang as a supervisor, she was startled and asked, "Is this what your father meant?"

Xiao Lie shook his head, "No, I'm going to go by myself!"

"With General Nangong here, the little Qiang people are nothing to be afraid of. Why is the emperor going?" Concubine Xian looked straight at Xiao Lie, seemingly puzzled.

Xiao Lie dodged his eyes for a moment, and took a slow drink from the teacup, "With the minister as the supervisor, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be boosted, and the minister also wants to go to experience it this time."

Concubine Rong frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "You said His Royal Highness King Zhao and you asked for an order to go to northern Xinjiang, but your father only agreed to let you go?"

Xiao Lie nodded, "Yes!"

Concubine Rong turned her eyes lightly, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and in an instant, the smile disappeared again, and she looked at Xiao Lie tenderly, "Lie'er, since your father and emperor have already issued an order, naturally the concubine mother can't Stop it. It’s just that the journey is far away, and it’s difficult and dangerous in northern Xinjiang, so you must take care of yourself!”

"Yes, the minister is here today, one is to bid farewell to the concubine mother, and the other is to reassure the concubine mother that she doesn't have to worry about the minister!" Xiao Lie laughed lightly.

Concubine Rong nodded heavily, holding Xiao Lie's hand, with gentle but strong eyes, and said solemnly, "As a prince, you are worshiped and loved by the people, and you should protect the subjects of Daliang. Praying for you, praying for your early return from Kaisheng!"

"Yes! My son will definitely not disappoint my concubine mother and imperial father! Concubine mother must also take care of her health in Shengjing!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Lie came out from the imperial concubine Xian's palace, and immediately left the palace to prepare everything for the departure to northern Xinjiang tomorrow.

At this time, in Hualin Palace, King Zhao Xiao Jing was also paying his respects to Concubine Xian.

Hearing about Xiao Jing's request to go to northern Xinjiang to fight, Concubine Xian was startled, and when he said that Xiao Lie had been sent, she was relieved, patted her chest and said, "I really scared my concubine to death." , the northern border is at war, and there are many dangers, and it is a place of hardship, how can it be the place where you, a noble prince, go?"

Xiao Jing smiled triumphantly, "Mother and concubine don't have to worry, I am sure that my father won't let my son go so I dare to ask for an order, Prince Rui can't take the limelight alone!"

"What did your father say?" Concubine Xian asked.

"Father is very happy, and he also praised his son and Prince Rui."

"My son is still the smartest, since he makes your father happy, he doesn't have to go to the bitter cold place like Youzhou to suffer!" Concubine Xian laughed, and said gloatingly, "Prince Rui may have the same thoughts as you , I didn't expect your father to really agree, and I don't know how to regret it at this time!"

Xiao Jing rubbed his chin and said with a sneer, "It deserves it, who told him to be the first bird!"

"It just so happens that Prince Rui is not here for a while, Jinger, you have to behave well in front of your royal father, maybe your royal father will even make you the crown prince when he is happy!" Concubine Xian became happier the more she thought about it, the excitement on her face beyond words.

Xiao Jing pursed his lips and smiled, "What the concubine mother said is that the minister must perform well to satisfy the emperor!"

"Hmph, it's better that Prince Rui never comes back!" Concubine Xian's delicate eyes were full of insidiousness.

On the 29nd of the winter month in the 22th year of Zhaoping, Nan Gongshu was the commander of the Northern Expedition, and Prince Rui Xiao Lie was the supervisor of the army, and once again led [-] troops to the north.

Before dawn, Nan Gongshu and Prince Rui stood on the city wall to clear the troops, and then led the army to leave Shengjing City under the watchful eye of Emperor Zhaoping and the civil and military officials.

Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers receded under the city of Shengjing like a tide, with banners unfurling, swords like forests, magnificent and magnificent.

It was not until the [-] soldiers and horses were on the official road that Emperor Zhaoping and all the officials got up and drove back to the city.

The emperor and his ministers had just entered the city when suddenly a figure galloped towards the city gate that was about to be closed, and followed the army, galloping wildly on horseback.

The army went all the way to the foot of Yuhu Mountain, only then did the soldiers report to Nangong Shu, "General, Miss Nangong seems to be following the army!"

Nangong Shu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, "Bring her here!"

A moment later, Nangong Bilian and his horse were brought to Nangong Shu.

Nangong Bimo has high hair, is dressed in a short shirt and shorts, and wears black boots. Her delicate face is a little more heroic, and she looks straight at Nangong Shu.

"Nonsense! What are you doing with the army, go back quickly!" Nangong Shu saw that it was really his sister, took her aside, and reprimanded her coldly.

Nangong Bi raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to go to Northern Xinjiang with you too!"

"What are you going to Northern Xinjiang for?" Nangong Shu asked with deep eyebrows.

Nangong Bi bit her lower lip and said in a muffled voice, "Hu Dapao went to Beijiang because of me. He is in danger now, and I'm going to save him!"

"It's just nonsense! How do you save him? Do you know where Northern Xinjiang is? And do you know what Hu Dapao's situation is now? There is a war there, it's no joke, you go back immediately!" Nangong Shu said angrily.

"No!" Nangong Bi said with a determined face, "I'm going no matter what. I owe Hu Dapao this, and I will pay him back in person! I have already told my father and mother when I came here, and my father has already agreed. !"

Nangong Shu's eyes widened immediately, "Father agreed? Impossible!"

"Really! My father said that I have grown up and I am responsible for my own affairs, so brother, you can let me go, I am not a child anymore, I can make my own decisions!" Nangong Bi stared at him beggingly. he.

Nangong Shu could almost imagine how Nangongbi was playing tricks to get his father to agree. He shook his head and said, "No, I will send troops to send you back to Shengjing City right away! This is a military rule, where women are not allowed to go to war!"

"I'm going, you can't stop me!" Nangong Bi took a step back with a pretty stubborn face, "If you don't let me follow, I'll go by myself, anyway, I have a horse, I don't believe I can't reach Mount Hara by myself !"

"You..." Nangong Shu's stern face was full of anger, and he almost wanted to tie Nangong Bi and throw him back to Shengjing City.

"General Nangong!"

Xiao Lie came over and said lightly, "Since Miss Nangong refuses to go back, let her go together!"

"See Your Highness Prince Rui!" Seeing Xiao Lie pleading for her, Nangong Bi immediately greeted with a smile.

"Your Highness!" Nan Gongshu turned around and saluted, with a deep and handsome face, "She is a woman, how can she go with the army?"

Nangong Bi puffed up her chest and said, "Brother, our Nangong family was born on the battlefield. Although I am a woman, I can be like a man, and I will never drag anyone down!"

She looked at Nangongshu earnestly, "Brother, you know that since Hu Dapao went to northern Xinjiang, I have been feeling guilty and uneasy, so let me save him, so that I can completely let go and make peace with him!"

"Let Miss Nangong go, be your personal bodyguard, and find a way to arrange it when you arrive in Youzhou!" Xiao Lie said softly.

Nangong Shu's eyebrows were stern, and he nodded, that's all he had to do!
"Great! Thank you His Highness Prince Rui, thank you brother!" Nangong Bi immediately smiled and walked quickly into the army, "I'll go change the soldiers' clothes!"

Looking at the ignorant and fearless figure of the girl, Nan Gongshu felt quite helpless, "Mother is usually too arrogant and indulgent towards Bi'er, she is really capricious, I don't know how serious it is!"

"This is Miss Nangong's blessing. With the protection of General Nangong, nothing will happen!" Xiao Lie was dressed in a black brocade robe, handsome and elegant. He looked at the girl's back and suddenly thought of Su Jiu. She was about the same age as Nangong Bi. , but now he has rushed to northern Xinjiang single-handedly.

She has no family and no support, so she has never been afraid, and has always been courageous.

Having family members to protect and rely on each other is a kind of blessing without fear.

I hope that in the future, he can become her reliance!
"General, let's go!" Xiao Lie was concerned, and could not wait to rush to Youzhou. Su Jiu had been walking for days, and now he did not know where he was.

"Yes!"

The two walked towards the army, got on their horses and continued to march.

Seven days later, Su Jiu and the others worked day and night, gradually approaching the Hara Mountains.

The further north you go, the colder the weather, the sparsely populated, and the desolate land.

Because of the war, you can often see people migrating with luggage on the road, with fear on their faces, like frightened birds, and they will run away when they hear the sound of horseshoes.

Now there are 3 cavalry of the Qiang and Naye tribes divided into two groups, [-] of them are around Mount Hala, encircling and suppressing Hu Dapao, it seems that Hu Dapao is about to be killed to boost morale.

Another 7 people attacked Yanyun Pass and were fighting.

Su Jiu thought, the killing of Hu Dapao by the enemy in Hara Mountain was a fake, and the attack on Youzhou around the Hara Mountain was the truth.

The enemy army is hidden under Mount Hara, and the situation is unknown, so the generals of Youzhou dare not send anyone to rescue Hu Dapao. If the defenders are sent out and fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Youzhou will be in danger!

If Youzhou is lost, it is equivalent to directly losing the barrier of Daliang against foreigners.

The defenders of Youzhou have never been idiots, so now she is only worried about Hu Dapao.

After so many days, is Hu Dapao alive or dead?

Youzhou was in the middle of a war, and the people were not allowed to come and go casually, so Su Jiu and the others didn't enter the city, they directly bypassed Youzhou and entered the mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Su Jiu's horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed.

"Master, be careful!"

Ah Shu shouted anxiously, but before he finished speaking, a dozen vicious bandits suddenly popped up on the mountain road in front of them, all of them were dressed in ragged clothes, with fierce eyes, staring at Su Jiuji like wild wolves who had been starving for ten days in the mountains. people.

These bandits were tall, burly, fierce and ferocious, and they gradually formed a circle, blocking the back of Su Jiu and the others.

"Keep the money, keep the food, the uncle will let you go!" The leader was blind in one eye, and he was extremely terrifying, pointing the long knife in his hand at Su Jiusan and the others.

Su Jiuqing's expression remained unchanged, she drank her horse and moved forward, halfway through, she jumped up, like a hurricane sweeping towards the astonished bandits.

The bandit's evil was superficial evil, but the cold murderous aura emanating from Su Jiu's body came from his bones, as if carrying the evil spirit of Jiuyou Hell, it came to his eyes in an instant.

The leader's eyes widened in astonishment, and before he could see who was coming, his hand was suddenly empty, and Su Jiu had already snatched the knife, and then his shoulder hurt, blood streaks flew out, and he fell backwards with a scream.

Almost at the same time, Chang Huan and A Shu had already made a move, their swords were flying, their aura was fierce, and their strikes were fierce. The bandits were so beaten that they had no power to resist, and they fled one by one with their lives.

"Big boss, we have encountered a hard stubble, let's get out!" One person shouted at the eye of the one whose arm was cut by Su Jiu.

"It's his grandma's!" One Eye cursed, slapped the ground, and rushed towards Su Jiu.

Su Jiu turned around and kicked a bandit away, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at the fist that was approaching with one eye, without dodging or dodging, he went directly to meet him, and slapped him, only to hear a "click", one eye's wrist was crushed Frustrated, he raised his head and screamed.

With a cold expression on Su Jiu's face, she soared into the air, her body as light as clouds and flowing water, put one foot on One Eye's chest, kicked him flying, and stabbed the other side's chest with the long knife in her hand.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of one eye and mouth, and his eyes were wide open, looking at the sharp point of the knife, he gritted his teeth and did not beg for mercy!
To be a tough guy!

The point of Su Jiu's knife had already scratched his clothes, and she stopped there suddenly, her eyes were cold, "For the sake of you and me, I will spare your life today!"

One eye was startled, he didn't expect that the handsome and slender boy in front of him was also a bandit, the other eye narrowed fiercely, spat out a mouthful of blood,

"I don't need your mercy!"

They were just doing the business of licking blood with the tip of a knife. Surviving in such a harsh environment in northern Xinjiang is all about fighting hard. If he begs for mercy today, greedy for life and afraid of death, then he won't have to mess around on this road in the future!

After finishing speaking, one eye jumped up suddenly, stepped on the tall tree behind him, jumped a foot away, and threw something in his hand towards Su Jiu quickly.

Being able to make a living in such poor mountains and harsh waters as Hara Mountain, he naturally has his life-saving weapon!
Smelling the strong smell of saltpeter, Su Jiu was startled, turned back in the air, and dodged to dodge.

There was only a "boom", and the thing hit the tree and exploded. The thick poplar held by one person was blown off in the middle, the grass and trees flew, and the bark burst.

"Boss!"

"Big boss!"

Chang Huan and A Shu's complexion changed, and they flew over to protect Su Jiu, and said coldly, "Our master kindly spared your life, we don't know what to do, so take your life!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them jumped towards One Eye in unison.

One Eye dodged backwards, took out another hidden weapon just now, and threw it towards the two of them.

"Be careful!" Su Jiu jumped up, pushed Chang Huan and A Shu away, kicked the hidden weapon out with one kick, and with a hard look, she curled her fingers into claws and grabbed One Eye's neck.

The hidden weapon exploded in the mid-air of the mountain forest, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust in an instant, and the sky and the earth were colorless.

Those bandits took the opportunity to slash at Chang Huan and A Shu with their long knives.

"stop!"

Suddenly there was a shout from a distance, the horseshoes were rushing, the dust was flying, and a group of people rushed towards the mountain.
