Yan Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
"Princess Yong'an is gone?"
"Yes, I ordered my personal guards and left the city before dawn."
Yan Cheng sighed in his heart and nodded: "It's something she can do." He then asked, "Where is her errand? Who gave it to her?"
"The frontline affairs will be temporarily handed over to the Duke of Chu, while the internal affairs of the imperial army will be taken over by her subordinate Qi Han." The man handed over a letter, "This is the letter the princess left for the prince. The Duke of Chu just sent someone to deliver it.
of."
Yan Cheng took it over. The letter was written in a very sloppy manner, and it was obvious that no words had been carefully considered. It began by apologizing to him, saying that his behavior had caused him trouble, and then explained the arrangements for everything in a clear and orderly manner. Finally, he asked him to come.
In front of Princess Zhao, I acted thoughtfully.
After Yan Cheng finished reading, Mr. Fu couldn't wait to take it.
As he watched, he sighed: "We left in such a hasty manner without leaving any space. This princess of ours is really impeccable in her work."
Xu Huanyuan was responsible for raising food and grass, and it was very convenient to take over the frontline affairs. As for the Forbidden Army, Xu Yin wrote down the responsible persons in detail. They tried to take the opportunity to arrange for their own people to go in, but they couldn't find the target.
Mr. Fu feels a little uncomfortable. In the past, in Tongyang, these matters were all in the hands of Yan Cheng, but now in the capital, power has been decentralized.
This is military power! The foundation of the Yan family.
Another staff member was disdainful: "No matter how powerful you are, what does it matter? Women are women, regardless of the overall situation. The second young master is just missing and has not been defeated. How can she help by rushing over like this? Don't fall into the enemy's hands when the time comes. On the contrary,
It’s become a drag.”
Mr. Fu agreed on a certain point: "The princess really shouldn't leave at this time. Something happened to the second young master, so she should stay and stabilize the overall situation. Such an impulsive act is a waste of time."
Yan Cheng was annoyed when he heard this: "You guys have said so much, why don't you do something while she's not around!"
"..." The staff members all stopped talking.
Yan Cheng didn't want to talk anymore.
When he returned home in the evening, Yan Cheng reported to Princess Zhao: "My brother and sister have gone out, I'm afraid it will take a while to come back."
Princess Zhao was surprised: "What kind of errand requires her to go out in person?"
"It's a matter on the front line." Yan Cheng lied without changing his face. "There was something wrong with the food channel. She was afraid that someone would interfere with it, so she took people to investigate it herself."
Princess Zhao had no doubt that he was there: "This child, it's freezing cold, can't you ask others to go? He has to endure the hardship himself."
Yan Cheng smiled and said, "This is what my younger siblings are like."
However, Mrs. Xie heard the clues and asked him after returning to the room: "Did my brothers and sisters really go to check the food aisle? Even if they are going out, it won't be a waste to come back and pack their luggage, right?"
Yan Cheng did not hide it from her and told the truth.
Xie was surprised: "This...she is too impulsive!"
Yan Chengdao: "The relationship between the two of them is extraordinary and not surprising."
Ms. Xie couldn't help but nod. Most marriages in high-class families were blind and mute, and these two people were somewhat deviant. She had heard about them before she got married, which was not a good thing, but after she got married, she sincerely envied them.
What a blessing it is that they are so in love with each other without reservation.
…
When Xu Yin left the city, it was still dark.
After Du Ming received her message, he immediately summoned his men, took stock of their war preparations, and brought rations.
Xu Yin apologized to him: "I know you don't want to go to the front line, but if the matter is urgent, you are the most suitable person."
Du Ming said hurriedly: "Previously, the princess had someone available, so I was lazy for a while. Now that the princess can use me, there is no excuse."
Du Ming had nothing to say about his military training. Although it was an emergency march, he was fully prepared. By daybreak, he had already traveled more than ten miles.
The group of people immersed themselves in their journey, and when they arrived at Yangshui Pier, it was almost noon.
They stopped to rest, have a meal, and make arrangements for the boat.
Qijun has been captured, and it is faster to take the water route. There are large ships transporting military supplies here, and Du Ming took the token to find them.
Xu Yin didn't have much appetite, but she didn't have the energy to go on the road without eating, so she managed to eat a piece of pancake. While she was drinking water, Xiao Sang beside her suddenly exclaimed: "Miss, look!"
She raised her head, looked where Xiao Sang was pointing, and raised her eyebrows.
Under the archway, there was a young man carrying a baggage, holding a horse and asking questions.
He looked over here, met Xu Yin's eyes, and walked over.
"Qingxuan? Why are you here?"
This young man is none other than Qingxuan, the killer who was caught by a fishing net in Hexing and the one who had been with her in her previous life.
Qingxuan said matter-of-factly: "Of course I'm looking for you! You take care of the food and I do the work, how could you run away on your own?"
Xu Yin laughed angrily at him: "You disappear every day, do you think you want to work? I was wrong if I didn't look for you!"
From the very beginning, she brought Qingxuan back just to repay the friendship from her previous life and give him a place to make a living. Perhaps because she had no experience of living and dying together in her previous life, Qingxuan was not that close to her in this life. Xu Yin
She doesn't force it, whether it's Chai Qi or Lao Yu, it doesn't matter whether she follows her or others, as long as they live a good life. So, she just lets it go and Qingxuan does whatever he wants.
"That's because you don't need my protection!" Qingxuan said confidently, "When we were fighting in Chu, I never left your side."
Xu Yin thought for a while, and it seemed right? The capital was much safer, and she was always surrounded by guards, so there really was no room for Qingxuan to show off.
"Do you want to say that I wrongly blamed you?"
Qingxuan snorted, his meaning self-evident.
Xu Yin burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, you're coming after me, so let's go together!"
Qingxuan was then satisfied and emphasized: "I don't eat for free!"
"I know!" Xu Yin asked him, "Have you brought rations? Our march is very urgent this time, so we have to prepare it ourselves."
Qingxuan patted the baggage: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring more than you."
"Don't worry, Miss." Xiao Sang interrupted, "He is most concerned about eating!"
Qingxuan didn't feel dissatisfied, but smiled proudly.
He sat next to Xu Yin, gnawed on the biscuits together, and thought about things before going out.
Before dawn, he was sound asleep when he was suddenly woken up by someone.
Qingxuan was shocked, rolled up, and reached out to grab the sword beside his pillow.
"Who?" You can actually come into his room quietly. Is there such a peerless master in the capital?
The next moment, the sword was caught by someone, and a familiar voice sounded: "You brat! I haven't seen you in two years, and you haven't made any progress!"
Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got out of bed and lit the lamp.
The lights turned on, and sure enough, there was a person sitting beside the bed. He was wearing a monk's robe that was neither black nor blue, but was dirty and torn.
"Master!" He reached out and touched his heart and complained, "What are you doing? You're scared to death!"
"Come to see you! Why, don't you want to see me?"
Qingxuan said nothing.
The old Taoist rolled his eyes: "It's okay if you don't want to see me. Hurry up and pack your luggage. Your boss is going out!"
