"Forget it, just go if you want to." Mrs. Mu's tone was helpless.

Perhaps she should be happy that her granddaughter-in-law and grandson have such a deep affection for each other.

Thinking back to the time when Duke Mu went to the battlefield, she had obediently waited in the mansion, but in the end, she only saw his corpse...

"However, you have to do three things from me." Mrs. Mu thought for a while and said again.

Shen Qingyin leaned towards Madam Mu affectionately and said, "Don't even mention three. Even if it's thirty, I'll agree. Grandmother, that's it."

The Madam slowly spoke: "First, we are going to the border. The mountains are high and the road is long. You should take your own safety as the most important thing and never take risks lightly."

Shen Qingyin nodded in agreement.

"Second, send me a message on the way, so that I won't worry too much. There's no need to send it to the general's mansion, which is not safe. Send it directly to the other side of the city, and someone there will send the message back."

Shen Qingyin nodded again.

"The third thing," Mrs. Mu's eyes suddenly turned red, "No matter what, you must return safely, you and Yan'er must--"

Shen Qingyin nodded heavily: "Don't worry, grandma, I will keep it in mind."

Mrs. Mu took Shen Qingyin's hand and patted it with tears in her eyes, and said nothing more.

Afterwards, the grandparents and grandchildren began to prepare for departure.

The lady first selected thirty men with excellent martial arts skills from the secret guards.

He also selected seven or eight maids from the general's mansion who were careful and had extraordinary martial arts skills.

These secret guards and maids had all been on the battlefield and were well aware of many things that happened there.

It would be most appropriate for him to follow Shen Qingyin to Western Xinjiang.

After selecting the people, they discussed how to leave quietly without being noticed by the spies outside the mansion.

After several discussions, the method chosen was to disguise oneself.

"Madam is extremely beautiful. When she walks in a crowd, she is like a crane among chickens. She is easy to attract attention. Only by disguising herself can she hide from others and avoid being noticed." said the leader of the secret guards.

This makes a lot of sense.

The lady agreed very much, and Shen Qingyin had no objection either.

Shen Qingyin didn't know how to disguise herself, so at most she would wear a hood or cover her face with a cloth, but that didn't matter at all.

Among the secret guards of the General's Mansion, there are quite a few who know how to disguise themselves, and they often disguise themselves when performing their daily tasks.

Among them there are two female secret guards who are particularly skilled.

With the help of the two of them, Shen Qingyin was quickly disguised as a purchasing maid in the kitchen.

Shen Qingyin didn't plan to bring Faner with him this time when he went out.

Fan'er doesn't know martial arts just like her. If she encounters any danger on the road, she will be unable to help and will only distract others because she can't take care of herself.

But the powder left behind is of great use.

Her personal maid would go out for a walk from time to time, so that the spies outside would feel more at ease.

Not only did she not wear powder, but she also didn't wear clouds in order to cover it up.

Among the few maids close to him, only Yun Wei was brought along.

After Yun Wei disguised herself, she transformed herself into a carriage driver in the general's mansion.

The next morning, at daybreak, the maid and servant in charge of purchasing in the kitchen went out through the side door to buy food and drink for the day's needs in the general's mansion. It was the same time as usual when they went out, there was nothing unusual about it, and no one noticed.

At the end of the Chen hour, a carriage came out of the main gate, followed by Fan'er, Yunchan and other maids of Shen Qingyin. This carriage attracted many eyes in the crowd.

There were some eyes, as usual, following behind not too far away. They could easily judge that there was no doubt that Shen Qingyin was in the carriage.

However, Shen Qingyin did not go to Bixiyuan today. He just took a walk in the market, asked his maid to buy some silks and satins, and then returned home.

In the next few days, Shen Qingyin would take people for a walk every few days to buy some things, and sometimes he would go to Bixiyuan, and there was nothing unusual.

Without the spies noticing, Shen Qingyin had already followed everyone and was running wildly on the road to Western Xinjiang.

Along the way, she and the others pretended to be merchants, and then separated into the front, middle and back. The ones in the front gathered information, while the ones in the back paid attention to possible dangers behind them. Shen Qingyin followed in the middle, pretending to be a servant beside a merchant.

They did not take the main road. Although the main road was flat and easy to walk on, it was crowded with people and they were afraid of being noticed if anything was unusual.

The path was difficult to walk on, but we met almost no one along the way, so it was very smooth.

The group seldom stopped on the way and finally arrived at Uri, a small border town in western Xinjiang, on the evening of the seventh day.

"Madam, this is the nearest town to the camp. It's too windy and sandy to go west, and it's not easy to travel at night. How about we rest in the town and go to the military camp early tomorrow morning?" suggested the leader of the secret guards.

Although this place is the western border, it is still hundreds of miles away from the military camp.

They had rushed all the way here, taking very little rest, and were all very tired.

Not only do people need to rest, the horses can no longer run.

Shen Qingyin was a little hesitant. She really wanted to see Mu Beiyan earlier and remind him again of the possible danger.

Looking at the people and horses collapsed on the ground, she couldn't continue on her way even if she wanted to.

Besides, she was tired. Even though she was sitting in a carriage, she felt like all the bones in her body were broken after the long and bumpy ride. She was also dirty and smelly...

"Okay." Shen Qingyin nodded.

According to the time in the previous life, the accident will happen about four or five days later, so there is still time for everything.

That night, everyone found an inn in the town to stay and rest.

The next day, when the east was getting light, they set out for the military camp.

There were many roadblocks on the way to the military camp, but with the token from the general's mansion, everyone had a smooth journey.

Near noon, the group finally arrived at the military camp.

After showing the token and identifying himself, someone from the camp soon came to greet him. He was a young general.

"General Fang!" The leader of the secret guards obviously recognized this man.

The young general quickly recognized the people in the general's mansion: "It's you!"

He was originally the deputy general beside Mu Beiyan. Except for not recognizing Shen Qingyin, he was not unfamiliar with the people in the general's mansion.

"Is the general in the camp?" asked the leader of the secret guards.

"This... the elite troops of the Xituo Army attacked Jianmen Pass last night, and the general went to meet the enemy in person."

Shen Qing turned pale when he heard this.

Jianmen Pass?

She still remembered that in her previous life, Mu Beiyan died in the battle at Jianmen Pass...

She immediately ordered the group: "Hurry, the general may be in danger, quickly go to Jianmen Pass to pick up the general, and make sure he is safe!"

In a hurry, she didn't care how to explain it in the future.

When they heard that the general was in danger, the group was stunned.

They had accompanied the lady all the way here, so why didn't they know that the general was in danger?

But soon, the leader of the secret guards led his group away without saying a word.

No matter how the lady knew about it, they would not allow the general to be in danger.
