The letter from Xingzhou Sima Qiu Zhao was sent to the capital in this way.

When Emperor Liang De heard the imperial guards mention the name "Qiu Zhao", he was stunned for a moment.

Although Emperor Liang De had his own eyes and ears in various places, there were many prefectures and counties in Liang Dynasty. In an inconspicuous place like Xingzhou, a small Sima could not really impress Emperor De Liang.

"He said he had a letter to deliver to me?"

"Yes, and I must say that your Majesty must take it apart in person." The imperial guard who replied was also puzzled. What big event could happen in Xingzhou? It couldn't be to announce the king's declaration, right?

The guard's expression was subtle for a moment, and then he respectfully accepted the letter.

Emperor Liang Dedi reached out to take it and read it quickly, then frowned deeply: "Sima Xingzhou suspected that there was a war in Yizhou..."

The imperial guards were confused and said: "With Commander Qiao sitting in Yizhou, how can wars easily break out? What's more, since decades ago, most of the troubles have been caused by the mountain people of Yizhou. How can it develop to the point where there is no foreign invasion?

Is it to the point where Commander Qiao can’t even suppress him?”

After all, Emperor Liang De had been on the battlefield and had his own thoughts.

He said calmly: "It is precisely because there has been no war for decades... Our foreign enemies have been able to rest and recuperate for several years, which is enough to keep them fat and strong."

The imperial guard looked solemn when he heard this, but soon he said: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Xuan is in Xingzhou, and the distance is not far..."

Emperor Liang De pressed his forehead: "If there is really a war, then I am sorry to King Xuan. I should have let him live peacefully in the fiefdom, but in the end I gave him a mess."

The imperial guard hurriedly advised: "As the saying goes, those who are capable work harder. If His Highness King Xuan calms down the war, Your Majesty can reward him again..."

Emperor Liang De did not answer any more, and said in deep thought: "Let Guo Ying lead a team of people, travel lightly, and rush to Xingzhou first, and then from Xingzhou to Yizhou! As soon as the situation is discovered, the news will be sent back."

The guards retreated in response.

Not long after, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of War, and people from Shangshu Province and Menxia Province also arrived.

When everyone saw this posture, they felt something was wrong.

"The ministers of Prince Xuan's Mansion suddenly appeared in Xingzhou from Yizhou." Emperor Liang De only said the beginning and then allowed them to discuss matters freely.

After the discussion was over, he went to the provinces to issue the decree, and then the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War prepared for the war.

Food, grass, military horses, etc... none of them are indispensable.

There is no need to wait to find out before starting.

After all, the war is changing rapidly. We really have to wait until the news comes back after the investigation is completed before we start making preparations...

Then why fight? Take a shower and go to bed as soon as possible!

The other side.

He Songning is also sending Tao Zhou and Zhishu to Xingzhou.

"You still go and serve the eldest lady." He Songning said to Zhishu.

Zhishu nodded in response.

But Tao Zhou had doubts: "Master, why..."

He Songning cut off his voice and said: "Go to the eldest girl and protect her. If necessary, take her to escape from Xingzhou."

"Escape?" Tao Zhou was even more confused. Why should he escape?

He Songning was silent for a moment, but suddenly changed his mind and said: "No, it's better not to run away. If she didn't live and die with King Xuan, how could King Xuan love her to the core?"

Tao Zhou felt something was wrong.

Why does the master still want to be a good person? He still wants to fulfill their love as deep as the sea?

He Songning murmured: "Some knives should be struck at the most appropriate time."

Tao Zhou couldn't understand it at all.

"Go." He Songning said.

Tao Zhou had no choice but to swallow his doubts and walked out with Zhishu.

They didn't take a few steps when they met Xue Qinghe and bowed respectfully: "Second Miss."

Xue Qinghe recognized them and took out the food from the food box to share with them.

How dare they accept it?

"I'm in a hurry to leave Beijing for business now. Thank you second lady for your kindness."

Xue Qinghe pinched his fingertips, feeling a little annoyed.

She also tried to be a well-rounded person, but why couldn't she do it?

The people around eldest brother... still don't like her after all.

Xue Qinghe took a breath, thought for a while, and then asked with concern: "Didn't Tao Zhou just come back not long ago? Are you going out to do errands again?"

Tao Zhou nodded.

Xue Qinghe asked: "Why did you even go to Zhishu?"

Tao Zhou smiled awkwardly: "I have to take her with me."

Xue Qinghe reacted immediately. This person called Zhishu used to serve Xue Qingyin. It seems that the big brother gave it to her.

"You want to go to sister's side?" Xue Qinghe blurted out.

Tao Zhou didn't know if he could tell anyone, so he just said: "Don't you want to send food to the young master? Second lady, please go quickly."

After saying that, Tao Zhou hurriedly took Zhishu away, fearing that she would break the casserole again and ask the truth.

Xue Qinghe stood there blankly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

They were so secretive and hesitant, but it seemed that they didn't regard her as one of their own...

She stood there for a while, then returned with the food box in her arms.

He Songning didn't even know she had been there that day.

Tao and Zhou hurriedly and slowly headed to Xingzhou.

At this time, the army under King Xuan had also rested.

They were all very excited.

Staying in Xingzhou would have left them idle. Now they are entering Yizhou just to protect the people. If they can kill a few enemies, it will be another military achievement and they can ensure that their loved ones at home can live without worries.

"The Xuanjia Guards will stay in Xingzhou to protect the princess." King Xuan ordered.

Xue Qingyin stood aside, looking a little depressed.

Don't take her with you.

Don't take her with you.

Don't take her!

"There is no need to leave the Xuanjia Guards to me." She said in a low voice, "How dangerous it is on the battlefield. They are your own soldiers and the most handy people around you. Naturally, it is better to stay with you.

What’s the use of giving it to me?”

King Xuan frowned, but quickly said: "Leave Du Hongxue here, and he will instruct them to protect you."

Xue Qingyin also frowned and said, "Don't you want military honors? Why do you follow me?"

Fang Chengzhong was stunned as he watched on the sidelines. He never expected that the first time the two of them had an argument would happen at such a time.

King Xuan said in a deep voice: "Yin Yin, I want you to be safe."

"Do you think they can reach Xingzhou?"

"The army can't, but what about the spies? Where about the spies and assassins?"

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Then wouldn't it be good for me to follow you?"

"The march will be very fast, Yin Yin, you can't adapt to it." King Xuan just stated the objective reasons.

Xue Qingyin pursed her lips, feeling that her body was too weak.

Previously, due to my poor health, it was so comfortable to lie flat.

Now I know that people still can’t be too weak...

I can't even run fast!

"I don't want to burden you, but it does sound like I am a burden." Xue Qingyin's tone was even lower, and even her eyebrows drooped.

It's fine in the capital, but outside the capital, there will be as many people who want to assassinate King Xuan as crucian carp crossing the river.

And as Princess Xuan, she was inevitably targeted.

But she was unable to fight back...

Her tricks were barely enough to deal with those in the palace, but once they saw real swords and guns, they were meaningless.

Xue Qingyin was a little depressed, feeling powerless for the first time.

Seeing her hanging her head in silence, King Xuan opened his arms to hold her in his arms, and gently stroked her hair.

Xue Qingyin pushed him away: "Okay, go ahead."
