When the general saw Xie Yunxiao, he laughed heartily twice, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Finally you're here. I knew you were in Huaiping, so I sent someone to notify you right away. I'm relieved that you're here."

The general had his arm in a sling. He looked in good spirits but not very well. When he saw the girl next to Xie Yunxiao, his smile froze and he looked at the two of them. "Who, who is this girl?"

Xie Yunxiao quickly introduced, "This is Jiang Yuan, the new top scholar's sister."

The general suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, the new number one scholar was given the task of governing the Heihe River as soon as he took office. He must be the one in Huaiping.

Hahaha, great, if there are more of these ambitious young people in the court, the country will be rich and the people will be strong in no time. "

After that, the general said to Jiang Yuan, "Girl, you must be scared when you see the blood outside after coming all the way here.

You will be safe once you enter the city. With me here, even if that group of rebels makes a big fuss, you will stay in the city unharmed.

Come here, clean up a yard for the girl and arrange a few maids to serve her.

How come he came here alone, without even a maid to serve him personally? "

Obviously, the general thought Jiang Yuan was a little girl who was just making trouble and joining in the fun. Xie Yunxiao might come later than he expected, and Jiang Yuan would have to bear the blame.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, General. I am indeed tired. I'll go wash up." After saying that, he glanced at Xie Yunxiao and nodded to Qin Mowei.

She didn't care how Qin Mo escaped from the predicament. He was also the famous Prince of Anyang. Although he was a civil servant, he also practiced martial arts since childhood.

He doesn't even have this ability, and it's a shame that he has become a childhood shadow for so many people.

Two soldiers at the door led Jiang Yuan away. This house had a backyard where women who swept and washed clothes lived. Jiang Yuan was not picky and entered the yard, where he saw an empty and clean room.

There were two aunties who were cleaning the room. When they saw Jiang Yuan come in, they were stunned at first and looked at the girl in front of them. Just now they were discussing what this girl from the capital looked like.

I saw this, uh, this girl, uh, all the ladies from noble families in Beijing are wearing men’s clothes?

Jiang Yuan was not polite. Seeing people's kindness, he smiled and said, "Hello, two aunties. No need to clean. It's quite clean. But I want to take a bath. Can you help me get a few buckets of water?"

The two aunts came to their senses and agreed, "Okay, wait a moment, young lady."

The clothes she took off along the way were never washed. She only brought four sets of clothes in total, and except for the clothes she was wearing, she had no clean clothes left.

Before going to take a shower, I gave three sets of clothes to the aunt and asked her to wash them for me.

The aunt looked at the black clothes in the basin with a puzzled expression. It seemed that this way of dressing had become popular among girls in the capital, and it was indeed different from where they lived.

After putting the clothes in the wooden basin, pouring clean water into the basin, and then pouring some hot water, the aunt rubbed her hands together and exclaimed, "Oh my."

The two aunts from the kitchen came out in a hurry, wiping their hands on their aprons. "What's wrong?"

The aunt was frightened and fell off the bench. She sat on the ground and pointed at the wooden basin, "Blood, blood..."

The clothes were just soaked in water, and when I looked again, the clear water in the basin had turned blood red.

The other two aunties also covered their mouths in shock. After a few seconds of reaction, they hurriedly helped the person on the ground up. "Just now, the girl didn't seem to be injured."

"Why don't we go and ask her? She's a girl, and if she gets hurt, I'm afraid she won't be able to apply medicine on her own."

"Yes, that's right. Let's go in with a bucket of hot water and take a sneak peek. Otherwise, the girl won't say anything and blame us."

The three of them supported each other, looked at the basin of blood, and nodded.

Jiang Yuan was taking a bath in the bathtub with his eyes closed, and he actually heard everything that was happening in the yard.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and said, "Okay, let me take a look later."

After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door, and an aunt came in carefully with a bucket of hot water, "Girl, I'm bringing you a bucket of water. You've been traveling hard, so take a shower for a while to relieve your fatigue."

Jiang Yuan placed his slender white arms on the edge of the bucket and sat up, revealing his equally slender white neck. His aunt took a quick glance at him and frowned slightly.

"Auntie, please wash my back for me."

The aunt quickly agreed and wiped Jiang Yuan's back with cotton cloth.

Two aunts were waiting outside, pacing back and forth anxiously. They hadn't come out for such a long time, it looked like the girl was really injured.

The two aunts were very distressed and kept complaining about how such a beautiful girl could suffer such a torture. If her mother knew about this, she would be heartbroken.

The door opened and the aunt who delivered the bucket came out carrying an empty bucket.

"How is it? Is the injury serious?"

The aunt shook her head. "There is no injury. The girl does have some bruises on her body, but there are no wounds."

"How is it possible, with so much blood, it's not the girl's?"

One of the aunties slapped her forehead suddenly, took the clothes out of the barrel, and after a careful inspection, she said, "The clothes are not torn. The clothes are not torn, which means that the blood is not from the girl."

"Whose is that?"

"Stupid, who else could it belong to? It must belong to the rebels."

"Oh, could this girl be a female general?"

"Yes, yes, look at this girl, she is not an ordinary person, she is a rich family in the capital who knows how to educate her children, and a girl can also become a general."

"Oh, stop talking and wash it quickly. Look, the girl has no clothes to wear."

"My girl is about the same size as a girl. I'll go get her one. At least it's clean."

"A girl from Beijing can wear your coarse cloth."

"Hey, don't say that. I see that girl is not a delicate person. I'll go get it first."

So, when Jiang Yuan appeared again, he was wearing a pink floral jacket, floral pants of the same color, and a pair of black cloth shoes.

Her hair was combed like that of a farm girl, with it tied up on both sides. Her long hair that was loose behind her was braided into a braid, and she wore a few velvet flowers on her head as decoration.

She is a capable and cheerful girl from the countryside.

During the meal, Xie Yunxiao came over specially and met Qin Mowei at the door. The two were shocked to see Jiang Yuan dressed like this, sitting on a bench in the yard, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, chatting with a few aunts, laughing so hard, and looking like he had completely blended in with the people.

Seeing Xie Yunxiao, Jiang Yuan stood up, with a smile still on his face, and trotted to Xie Yunxiao, "Fourth Brother."

Xie Yunxiao crossed his arms, looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile, nodded and praised, "Yes, my second sister, although she is dressed in plain clothes, she is still very beautiful."

Jiang Yuan glared at him and said, "You are so sweet, you are really risking your life."

Then, he looked at Qin Mowei who was standing beside him and bowed, "Prince."

Qin Mowei smiled bitterly, "General Xie is the fourth brother, how come he is the prince in my place? You are familiar with Qu Ying, and your aunt treats you like her own daughter, so you should follow Qu Ying and call me the third brother."

"You are joking, my Lord. How can you just casually associate with a royal relative?"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked at the two of them and asked again, "Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
