At five o'clock, a group of military generals heading to the border area set off from the Ministry of War on time.After leaving Chang'an Gate, head north all the way to Shanhaiguan.

The leader of the team was Zongbing Hou of Jizhen.In addition to Daiyu, who was appointed as a general in Shanhaiguan, Li Su, who was appointed as a guerrilla in Shanhaiguan, was also in the team.

Due to the failure of the previous marriage proposal, it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment between Daiyu and Li Su.Fortunately, neither of them is a mother-in-law or mother-in-law, so they get along harmoniously.

Li Su naturally knew what Daiyu said to the matchmaker.Martial arts have always respected strength, although he was somewhat embarrassed by the refusal of marriage, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Daiyu's words in his heart.On the contrary, because of this, he respected her even more.

From the moment Daiyu left Chang'an, her heart was soaked in the oil pan, as if it was boiled and deep-fried.She couldn't hear Hou Zongbing talking.

Even several times, as she was walking, she heard someone calling her from behind.Pulling the rein and looking back, I realized that I was going in the wrong direction.

Her abnormality naturally attracted Hou Zongbing's attention.

She could only explain: "There is a ten-year-old girl in my family who has been deeply attached to her since she was a child. Because it is the first time I have left home, I am worried that she will be wronged at home, so I feel restless."

Hou Zongbing sighed: "As military officers, it is very common for us to be separated from one another. General Lin Shen needn't worry too much. Mr. Shang Shu now only has Miss Lin Er as his own flesh and blood. Could it be possible to make her feel wronged? "

"What Hou Zongbing said is very true." At this time, Daiyu suddenly realized that Jun Ling was not in the team, and suddenly felt very strange, "Speaking of which, why isn't Jun Ling here?"

"I asked her to stay in the capital and not go to the border area with me." Hou Zongbing said, "She has participated in the audition now, and it is almost time to get engaged. And I always hoped that she would marry in the capital, Just let her stay here for now."

Hou Zongbing's thoughts are well understood.Although he has guarded the border area for many years now, there is always a day when he will step down.When he leaves office, won't he still have to return to the capital to retire?If the daughter is married in the border area, then the father and daughter will be separated from each other, and it will be difficult to see each other again.

It would be better to marry her daughter in the capital first.After a few years, I will return to Beijing to take care of myself, and then share the happiness of my family.

Daiyu frowned slightly and said, "Jun Ling is married in the capital? Is this...suitable?"

Jun Ling is indeed a good girl, but it's not easy to say goodbye.Especially in the capital to talk about kissing.

First of all, she is the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother.There is a saying that "the eldest daughter who lost her mother does not marry, and there is no precept for teaching." Hou Zongbing did not remarry, so she had no female elders to educate her since she was a child.Just because of this, it is very difficult for her to find a suitable marriage in the capital.

Besides, her appearance is not outstanding.Living in the bold and unrestrained folk customs of the border area since childhood, his personality alone is incompatible with the ladies in the capital.Don't say anything else, just say that the last time I met Lin Xi in Zuiqinglou, she drank with a group of men without any scruples.This may not be a big deal in the border area, but it is absolutely shocking in the capital.

She doesn't know any needlework, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Even though her father is the chief soldier of Ji Town, the second rank, due to the above reasons, it is difficult for her to find a good marriage in the capital.

Hou Zongbing sighed: "Since I was young, I really have too little restraint on her. I only hope that she will be a happy girl, but I forgot that my daughter's family needs to talk about marriage when she is old. Now it's too late to regret it. "

He paused, frowned, and said: "Now that things have happened, I can't expect her to marry a rich family. In fact, thinking about it from another angle, there is nothing wrong with marrying a daughter from a low family. As long as I am here for a day, there will be no No one dares to make her feel wronged."

"Marrying a daughter from a low family?" Daiyu said, "That's fine too. I don't know, which family did the general soldier tell Jun Ling?"

"It's the Yue family of General Lin's elder brother, the Xue family of the imperial merchant." Hou Zongbing said.

"Xue Pan?" Daiyu pulled the rein abruptly, "How could it be him?"

Daiyu and Xue Pan didn't have much contact with each other, and they only paid attention to the filth of the Jia family in Jia's mansion.But just because he almost flirted with drunk Junling that day, Daiyu didn't believe that he would be a good home.

Hou Zongbing said: "The Xue family is just an imperial merchant. If there is a little bit of trouble in the future, I have plenty of ways to teach them. Although Xue Pan is tough, Jun Ling can suppress it. Although this marriage is not It's not quite to my liking, but it's okay. As for the others... General Lin Shen should be very clear, isn't he?"

"I know..." Daiyu understood in an instant. It meant that in Zuiqinglou, in front of so many people in the Imperial Academy, Jun Ling put his arms around Xue Pan's neck and poured wine...

Now besides the two of them, there are other military officers traveling together in the team, so Hou Zongbing naturally can't make it too clear.Otherwise, Jun Ling's reputation will be damaged.

After all, Daiyu didn't know Xue Pan very well, so she had no choice but to give up after hearing what Hou Zongbing said.Thinking about it, with Jun Ling's character, Jun Ling's martial arts, and Hou Zongbing as his backer, how could the Xue family let her be wronged?

In fact, although Daiyu has some appreciation for Junling, she doesn't have a deep affection for him.After all, the two had known each other for less than three months.Even if Daiyu worried about her and cared about her, it was limited.

If Hou Zongbing hadn't mentioned the separation of flesh and blood just now, she would not have remembered Jun Ling.

As for Daiyu, Qingxi is the only one she is worried about and can't let go of.

She couldn't imagine that when Qingxi woke up and found that Daiyu had quietly left, would she cry?Will there be trouble?If she was crying, would Mammy coax her as patiently as she did?

Although my father said that he loved Qingxi, he was often not at home after all.Now that he is not here, will those slaves bully the master and neglect Qingxi?And Zhang and Baochai, will they dislike Qingxi?Will he beat and scold Qingxi just because she is annoying when she cries?

The more she thought about the future, the more worried Daiyu was.He even swore in his heart that if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dared to move Qingxi's finger, when he went back, at least they would leave their two arms!

It doesn't matter if you feel anxious or angry.The horses were walking in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and the figure of Chang'an City was getting further and further away...

One day at noon, a group of people came to a village at the foot of the mountain.They stopped at a small village shop for some lunch.

"General Lin, do you still only eat these today?" Li Su asked.

Since leaving Chang'an, Daiyu has been thinking about Qingxi in her heart, afraid that she will be cold, hungry, or bullied... She has no appetite at all.

"Thank you brother Li for your concern, I really don't have any appetite." Daiyu said.

"It is better for General Lin to eat more today," Hou Zongbing reminded, "I will have to climb mountains and mountains in a while. I don't have enough physical strength."

"Don't worry, Chief Soldier, I have enough physical strength." Daiyu said.Even if she ran up and down the mountain for more than a dozen laps, she would not get tired.

"Speaking of turning over the mountain, everyone should follow me closely in a while, don't fall behind." Hou Zongbing said, "This mountain sometimes has jackals infesting it."

"Lord Chief Soldier, look at what you said, as military officers, how can we be afraid of those beasts?" Li Su laughed.

"Don't underestimate those beasts," Suni recalled the previous battle in Jie Time and Space, when Niu Liu was surrounded and bitten by more than a dozen Jie clan wolves, "A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves."

"All in all, just follow me closely." Hou Zongbing said, "Although there are wolves on the mountain, there are not many of them. As long as you don't fall behind, there is no serious danger."

Daiyu didn't know why, but suddenly her heart was extremely disturbed, and her eyelids kept twitching.

It is indeed a bit strenuous to walk on the mountain road, but it is naturally not difficult for these military officers.

It's just that there are no people on the mountain, so it is much more difficult to find food.Hou Zongbing was worried that he might encounter some accidents on the way over the mountain and delay the trip. Before going up the mountain, he specially packed some steamed buns and water from the village shop, enough to eat and drink for several days.

On the way up the mountain, Daiyu felt more and more uneasy.Her heart beat faster and faster, and sweat began to break out on her forehead.

When Li Su saw her, he thought she was too tired, so he quickly handed her the water bottle, but she refused.

"If General Lin is not feeling well, he can stop and rest." Hou Zongbing said.

"I'm fine," Daiyu said, "but I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy. It seems that something bad is about to happen."

Seeing that Daiyu's face was a little pale, but her breath was calm when she spoke, Hou Zongbing felt relieved.

The weather is really unpredictable.At noon, the sky was clear and clear, and at night, heavy rain poured down.

Fortunately, the camp tents were set up in time, and the military officers sheltered from the rain in the camp. From time to time, they poked their heads out to look at the weather, frowned and scolded: "How can we go on our way?"

Hou Zongbing said: "Don't worry, there will be time when the rain stops. It's just that the mountain road will inevitably slip after the rain, everyone be careful."

During the period, when Daiyu probed out, she suddenly found an object on the path not far away, which looked very familiar at first glance.

Regardless of Li Su's and others' obstruction, she stepped forward to check in the rain, but it turned out to be a sachet.What surprised her even more was that this sachet was very similar to the one Qingxi wore.

At that moment, Daiyu felt dizzy.

"Where did you get the sachet in this barren mountain?" Li Su, who chased him out, was also surprised.

Daiyu suddenly said, "Be quiet first." Then she frowned and listened attentively.

"What's the matter, General Lin?" Li Su asked.

"I seem to have heard the voices of people and horses, and they are coming towards us."

"Drive, drive!" Two fine horses came in response, and when they walked in, they turned out to be Xue Pan and Hou Junling.

"Daiyu, that's great, I finally caught up with you!" Hou Junling breathed a sigh of relief, "Have you seen Qingxi?"
