In order not to delay the journey, Gu Xi asked Yan Hui to lead the army first.

He escorted Wei Rou to the empress.

According to the marching speed of the army, Wei Rou's body couldn't bear it at all.

Gu Xi deliberately slowed down the trip for Wei Rou, so as to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Wei Rou was a little worried.

"Isn't there going to be an accident if the coach doesn't lead the battle? Doesn't it mean that the war in northern Xinjiang is tight?"

Otherwise, the emperor would not be in such a hurry to let Gu Xi go out.

Gu Xi shook his head.

"It's not that urgent. I still have people in Beijiang, and they can handle it well. Now I'm just going to sit in town, and I can't fight for the time being."

After all, the Yaori Kingdom and the small countries along the way were brought back to Daqing earlier, even if someone wanted to make a move, they would not choose this moment to make a big move.

They are all waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Wei Rou didn't understand the matter of marching and fighting, but she vaguely understood after listening to Gu Xi's explanation.

"That is to say, apart from Siyou country, are there other countries that are eyeing Daqing?"

Gu Xi hummed, and then said: "The Daqing Dynasty has been established for fourteen years. Although the national power is strong, the foundation is not stable."

Wei Rou seems to understand but not understand.

"This is what the second uncle often said, 'It is easier to conquer the country than to defend the country'!"

Wei Rou's eyes subconsciously fell on Gu Xi's broad back.

The years of scars on it all reminded her that no matter which one it was, it was not an easy task.

All need to throw their heads and shed blood, and all need the sacrifices of those fearless.

She couldn't help stretching out her arms to hug Gu Xi, and gently stroked his back.

"These are all your achievements."

Even though it was separated by the battle armor, Gu Xi's body was shocked by the soft touch, he responded with a low voice, and hugged Wei Rou tighter.

During this journey, Gu Xi raised Wei Rou well, and her health gradually improved, and she gradually adapted to the surrounding environment.

It's just that the further north you go, the less crowded you are.

There are more and more wind and sand on the official road.

Wei Rou originally wanted to get out of the carriage and ride a horse for a while, but as soon as she opened the curtain, a gust of wind wrapped in yellow sand hit her, choking her to death.

Had to give up.

Finally, after traveling for six days and six nights, they arrived at Yongcheng, the most prosperous city in northern Xinjiang.

Before arriving in Yongcheng, Wei Rou heard the lively sounds inside while sitting in the carriage from a distance.

She couldn't help leaning out the car window to look ahead.

The tall city gate stands far away and is heavily guarded.

There are also more trees and people around, so it is not so desolate.

There are still some fields as far as the eye can see, and farmers are plowing on them.

The northern land is suitable for dry farming, not intensive farming, and people can often be seen carrying water back and forth.

These scenes are invisible in the capital, Wei Rou felt a little curious, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Gu Xi had already rode over on a raging fire, and seeing that she was very interested, he said: "When you arrive in Yongcheng, you can rest in the room first, and I will take you out for a walk later."

Wei Rou rode all the way in the carriage, and her bones were going to go limp.

She pursed her lips: "I've been resting all this way, why don't you take me for a stroll now?"

As she said that, Wei Rou's eyes were shining when she looked at Gu Xi.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xi naturally wouldn't ignore her, and stretched out his hand to her, motioning for her to sit up.

Wei Rou hurriedly got out of the carriage and held Gu Xi's hand.

With a light tug, he hugged Wei Rou in front of him.

Raging Fire also neighed happily, and ran happily into the city.

The army arrived in Yongcheng one day earlier and was stationed at the camp ten miles away.

Now the guards at the city gate saw General Zhenyuan's mount from a distance, and they were all ready to fight, for fear of being caught by the general.
