Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu got up at dawn, greeted the people in the mansion and began to get busy, preparing to wait for the city gate to open and go to the border of Xia and Liao to pick up people.

Ying Qi lived up to expectations and rushed to Jiaping Pass the night before and returned to the Duke's Mansion. He first went to see Qin Zheng and Yan Bo and greeted Shen Cha, and then went to see Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu.

She never thought that she would not meet Shen Haolin. When Xue Ruitian said that the Duke of Guo went to the border town of Liao Kingdom alone, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh. The Duke of Guo is the Duke of Guo. Such courage Most people don't have the courage and courage. At the same time, she is also very happy for her boss. It is a very good thing to have such a person by her side. As for how it is good, she can't say, but it is very good. good.

Xue Ruitian briefly asked about Shen Cha and Jin Jing's situation, and knowing that both of them were fine, he asked Ying Qi to go back and rest.

After getting up in the morning, after washing up and changing clothes, Xue Ruitian, Shen Jiu and Jin Miaomiao took Hong Ye, Ying Qi and about a dozen guards out of the house and found a familiar breakfast shop on the street.

Xue Ruitian chewed on the fried dough sticks and looked at the other side of his head little by little. He was so sleepy that he almost dropped his own Jin Miaomiao and shook his head helplessly.

"What do you think you're doing? It'll be fine if we pick her up. You can just wait at home."

"It's been a long time since I last saw Xiao Cha. It's strange." Jin Miaomiao yawned, pushed the fried dough sticks in front of Hong Ye, picked up the tea soup in front of him and took a few sips, "Master Hou, go back and buy some food to take with you. It will arrive today, who knows when. The Duke of Guo went to see Xiaocha, and I don’t know if he has seen him now. If he has, with the effort of the two of them, it will be good to set off at noon. Come on. If we go so early, chances are we won't be able to wait for anyone."

"You, please stop worrying. Look at you, without the red leaves holding you, your face will fall into the bowl. What did you do last night? Why are you so sleepy?" Xue Ruitian ate his breakfast. Clean, "I see the light in your room is always on."

"There is a recipe that I haven't figured out yet, so I fell asleep on the table, and that's when I opened my eyes."

"Then why did you come out with us? You should have a good sleep." Seeing what Jin Miaomiao wanted to say, Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "Okay, we have come out anyway, and there is no point in saying anything else. I think Well, what you just said was not quite right."

"What words?"

"Xiaocha and Xiaojing have been in Liao for a long time. They are definitely eager to return home now and won't stay any longer. Even if they have to wait and see Haolin's face, it won't be too late. Didn't Xiaoqi say that Why did the Yelu family send someone to send them here? They also have to be a little careful. I guess they can reach the border around noon, maybe even earlier. The city gate hasn't opened yet. Let's sit for a while. You have to be honest. If you're sleepy, just stare for a while and let Hongye call you when you leave."

Jin Miaomiao nodded and fell asleep directly on Hongye's shoulder.

After half a stick of incense was sitting in the breakfast shop, the city gate opened and Jin Miaomiao woke up. The group slowly left the city and wandered for more than an hour, finally arriving at the border between Liao and Xia.

When the patrolling Shen Jiajun and Liao soldiers saw Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, they stopped and saluted them one after another.

"Deputy Commander Xue, General Shen!" The leader of the Liao patrol team stood in front of Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, "Please wait a moment, everyone, we have received news that the Daxia envoy has arrived from the border town an hour ago. Let's set off. If there are no accidents, we can arrive in half an hour."

Hongye thanked the corps commander on behalf of Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu, and ordered the accompanying guards to spread a thick wool mat on the ground.

"It's going to take a while, why don't we just sit and wait!"

"You and Miaomiao, sit down, let's go for a walk!" Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu asked someone to take their horses away, and the two of them strolled slowly along the border.

"Leave them alone. If they can't see anyone, they won't be at ease." Jin Miaomiao sat on the mat wrapped in a thick cloak and tugged on Hongye's sleeves. "Let them be!" She stretched out her hand to touch her chin. , "I don't know how Xiaocha is doing now. She fell ill as soon as she arrived at Linhuang Mansion. I am also very worried."

"She can take care of herself, and she also has a military advisor!"

"That's not what I meant." Jin Miaomiao waved her hand, "She has been injured and sick a lot in the past six months. I'm worried that this girl's health has finally improved. If she keeps going through this a few times, she may have to fight back. It’s the original state. Once it’s repeated, it’s not easy to get it back.”

"You are too cautious!" Hongye patted her shoulder, "I'm not as pessimistic as you. I think you have to have confidence in Xiaocha, as well as your master's medical skills and the medicine he left behind."

Jin Miaomiao thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Maybe you are right."

The group waited for less than half an hour when they faintly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away. Everyone looked for the sound and saw the dusty sky in that direction. After a while, "Xia" was blowing in the wind. , "Shen" two big flags appeared in their sight.

"coming!"

Jin Miaomiao and Hongye jumped up at the same time and asked the guards to hurt the wool blanket. They consciously stood behind Xue Ruitian and Shen Jiu.

The horse team moved very fast and reached the border in a short time. When the carriage stabilized, Xue Ruitian saw Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing jumping off the carriage one after another.

"We're back!" Xue Ruitian walked over and gave Shen Cha and Jin Jing a big hug, looking them both up and down, "Looks like she's in good spirits, but Xiao Cha has lost weight."

"Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk while walking."

Returning to his own territory, Shen Haolin no longer needed to pretend, and got on the horse with Shen Cha and Jin Jing.

After finally waiting for his sister to come home, Shen Jiu couldn't care less about his brother's big black face and refused to leave Shen Cha's side. He wished he had eyes like his sister's.

"Looking at me like this, there are flowers on my face?" Shen Cha looked at his look and found it funny, "I heard that you are not very good at home during this time? Tell me, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong with me? My brother must have accused me." Shen Jiu glanced at Shen Haolin, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and muttered in a low voice, "Sister doesn't understand me yet. I… …"

Before he could say anything, he heard Shen Haolin's cold snort, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.

"Master Qi is quite disappointed that you didn't go to Cheng Linhuang Mansion. He asked me to bring you a lot of new things and I'll give them to you when I get back."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu glanced at Shen Haolin again, and seeing that he was still staring at her coldly, he subconsciously shrank his neck, "Forget it, I can't afford to offend him, I'll go talk to Brother Xiaojing. "After saying that, he urged his horse forward and ran to Jin Jing's side.

"You brat!" Shen Haolin snorted, "I'll send him to the military camp today!"

"Brother!" Shen Cha felt a little headache and quickly changed the subject, "You told Brother Xiaojing that the group was found, is it true? They have disappeared for so many years, why suddenly..."

"In that business, if you do it once, you will do it a second time or a third time. This is not a one-time deal. They also have to live. The money is not enough for those people to squander. The reason why we have not heard from them for so long , because they are not operating in the areas we are concerned about. When we caught them this time, they committed suicide and insisted on jumping into the fire pit."

"What I'm saying is that I didn't expect them to have committed such a big thing. Your Majesty, it's true, he didn't even mention a word to us."

"You are also in the dragon's den and have been in fear for more than a month. There is no need for you to be worried. Besides, this matter must be concluded before we can mention it to Xiaojing. That year we only knew that he was missing for three days. But if he doesn't tell us what happened in the past three days, we can't force him. We can only start with that group of people." Shen Haolin looked at Jin Jing in front of him and sighed softly, "I hope we can solve it this time. Open his heart!"

"Most definitely!"

What Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were talking about, Xue Ruitian was also talking to Jin Jing in front of them.

"I'm very impressed with the courage of this group of people. They really don't know what fear is, and they really don't understand what fear is. They really dare to do anything and touch anyone!" Xue Ruitian sighed. He said, "The grandson of Uncle Jian's family, the youngest son of Master Chen, the imperial censor, the niece of Master Wei, Guanglu doctor, etc. In half a year, more than ten officials in Xijing have lost their children. If it hadn't been for this time Jian Uncle Wang has made trouble in front of the imperial court, but Jing Zhaoyin is still suppressing him!"

"Jing Zhaoyin is really courageous. How dare you hide such a big thing?" Jin Jing frowned, "That's not right. As the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, didn't Bai Meng, the people who lost their children, look for him? "

"Not to mention Uncle Jian Wang, look at the families who have lost their children. How dare they talk to Bai Meng?" Xue Ruitian snorted, "Besides, these children were not lost together, but one was lost every other. The methods used are all different, no one can think of them together. I still have to thank Uncle Jian Wang, otherwise... well, these children would not come back. Even so, not all of them were rescued, a total of fifteen children , only twelve were found, and the remaining ones were neither alive nor dead. Moreover, Bai Meng guessed that they had been in Xijing for three years, and there were definitely more than just these few children. The number would only be larger. No less. As for what the situation of those children will be like now, hehe..." He smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, "I'm afraid it's more bad than good."

Jin Jing was silent for a long time, then spat hard and couldn't help but curse.
