King and General untie their battle robes

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are already waiting outside the city, this time it is aboveboard.At the end of the morning court, all the officials respectfully followed Ruan Xi and others out of the city gate for about half a mile, and then bowed down and saw them off.A hundred people kneeling like this in the wilderness, the scene can be called very strange.

"My lords, please come up," Ruan Xi turned around, leading a horse, "I will leave the affairs of the country to you."

After all, he jumped on the horseback and ran forward without looking back.

A long series of voices of "I obey orders" were left behind, scattered and scattered in the wind.

Bian Youli didn't like to see the courtiers kneeling to send him off, so he said to wait at a place farther ahead.

When Ruan Xi arrived at the appointed place, he saw Bian Youli lazily leaning against a tree, looking at the horses grazing leisurely not far away.

The wind is clear and the clouds are bright, the sky is warm and the vegetation is green, this scene is surprisingly beautiful.

The sound of horseshoes gradually approached, Bian Youli turned his head and saw Ruan Xi coming over quickly, he called out to the horse that was still grazing to come over, jumped on the horse's back neatly, and walked to Ruan Xi's side.

"You came."

Ruan Xi nodded: "Let's go."

The 5000 people led by Run Liu had set off for an hour to scout the way to avoid any accidents.Mingcha led 3000 people to walk behind, and these people in the middle can only be managed by Bian Youli now.

But these 1 people used to belong to other generals, and Bian Youli was not familiar with them. Before he got to know them, he couldn't rest assured that such a group of people would protect Ruan Xi.

So after Bian Youli and Ruan Xi entered the team, in addition to immediately calling the 2000 people from Mingcha for personal protection, they also specially instructed Ruan Xi several times very seriously not to be too far away from themselves.

After being told the same words by Bian Youli again, Ruan Xi finally couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Fu Qing, how many times do you want to say it? I've made a note, absolutely, absolutely, never leave you too far away."

Bian Youli also felt that he had said it too many times, and couldn't help feeling amused: "It seems that I have said too much, but you must..."

Hearing this, Ruan Xi couldn't help but look at him.

Bian Youli suddenly realized that he almost repeated himself, stopped talking, and then laughed out loud.

"All right," Bian Youli said with a smile, "I won't talk anymore. Are you still used to riding a horse?"

Ruan Xi seldom went out of the palace, Bian Youli remembered the first time he saw him, he was not riding a horse, but a carriage.But this time traveling with the army, it is impossible to use a horse-drawn carriage, which will delay the journey and be extremely inconvenient.

"It's pretty good," Ruan Xi thought about his previous experience of riding a horse-drawn carriage, and said sincerely, "It's much better than riding a carriage."

Such a small car, shaking and bumping, and unable to open the curtain so as not to be recognized by others, can drive people crazy.

What a joy to ride a horse in comparison.

Bian Youli was worried that Ruan Xi didn't go out often, but seeing that he was very skilled at riding a horse, he didn't ask any more questions, and instead talked about the general way to find someone this time.

Before setting off, they believed that Jiang Yan had lost track from the border of Jingluo at that time based on the survey of the route and the investigation of the actual situation, and there were only two directions to go: East Jingxiluo.Because the north and the south are natural dangers, they cannot be crossed by manpower alone.

However, a large number of people searched in Jingguo for so many days, but there was no news at all, so it was preliminarily concluded that Jiang Yan should have gone west.

After all, Ruan Xi was the monarch of Jing Kingdom, so naturally he couldn't directly cross the border into Luo Kingdom, so their destination this time was within the closed gate.After reaching the border, Ruan Xi stayed there, and the people below went to investigate.

Bian Youli has walked this road twice, and Run Liu, who opened the way ahead, has also walked it twice, and he is very familiar with the surrounding area, so there is no obstacle in identifying the fork in the road and clearing the direction, and the journey went smoothly.

Thinking that Ruan Xi had never been to these places, Bian Youli planned to spare some time to go shopping with Ruan Xi, but thinking about Jiang Yan, he dismissed the idea.

It's better to wait until I get the person back, and I can come to play in the future.

This trip brought a little more people, and with Ruan Xi here, the speed was much slower.The last time I walked with the mission for more than half a month, this time I walked for more than 20 days.

Finally reached the border.

After entering the city, Bian Youli and Ruan Xi went directly to the general who defended the city, revealed their identities, and ordered him to provide food and lodging for the 2 people who came with them.

The general here is surnamed Chen, a native of the city. He has been named a general for many years and has never entered Qiongning.He never expected that the king would come in person, and after staying for a long time, he hurriedly responded to make arrangements.

Bian Youli looked at the back of General Chen running out of the door in a hurry, and found it very interesting: "I didn't realize it when I saw him last time, but now I see that this man is really simple and honest."

Ruan Xi smiled noncommittally.He had seen a lot of people like this since he was a child, and he was usually nothing, but as soon as he heard his identity, he immediately changed his appearance and put on a respectful expression.

It's just for the face of his own monarch. When he turns his head away, who knows what kind of face it will be?

Bian Youli noticed that Ruan Xi hadn't spoken, so he turned his head to look at him: "What are you thinking?"

Ruan Xi shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, how are you going to find out about Jiang Yan?"

Bian Youli's plan was to divide the people he brought in into several groups and send them out gradually, infiltrating into the Luo Kingdom bit by bit.Although Luo State did not deal with Jing State very much, they were still friendly neighbors on the surface after all, and had made friends with each other.So this matter needs to be done slowly, so as not to cause disputes.

He can assure you that this is all about avoiding war.This time, Jing Guo just wanted to find someone to come back from there. If he didn't prove that Jiang Yan's disappearance was caused by Luo Guo, Bian Youli would never pick things up on his own.

In this way, it is not impossible for each other to settle the matter peacefully.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes.

A few days after they arrived at the border, this morning, when Ruan Xi and Bian Youli were eating, General Chen suddenly rushed in from the door.

Before Bian Youli could react, Ruan Xi had already dropped his chopsticks: "Presumptuous, did Gu let you in?"

General Chen knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I... I have something to report."

Ruan Xi remained silent with a cold face, Bian Youli saw this and said, "Your Majesty calm down, let's listen to what General Chen has to say first."

General Chen looked at the two of them in bewilderment, seeing that Ruan Xi was still angry, and he didn't know what to do.

Bian Youli called "Your Majesty" again, with a persuasive tone.

Ruan Xi glanced at him, then turned his head to look at General Chen, and said with an unhappy expression, "Okay, you get up first, what's the matter?"

"Ah...ah yes, Luo Guo, Luo Guo brought people to call!"

"What?" Bian Youli stood up abruptly, "Did you see clearly?"

General Chen nodded quickly: "It is very clear that about 5 people are already approaching the city gate."

Bian Youli thought about it quickly with downcast eyes, and said to him, "How many soldiers do you have?"

"It's also about [-]."

"Okay," Bian Youli said with a hint of worry on his face, and his tone quickened, "You take three thousand elite soldiers and bring them here to protect the king, and the rest are ready to meet me within an hour."

"Yes!" General Chen's expression also became serious, he didn't tell Ruan Xi to leave, he turned around and ran away.

This time Ruan Xi didn't care about his rudeness, and he didn't do anything like call him back.When General Chen walked away, Bian Youli said to Ruan Xi, "You don't like this man much?"

Ruan Xi's harsh words to General Chen just now surprised Bian Youli at first.Speaking of impoliteness, Run Liu and the others often forget these cumbersome etiquettes, but Ruan Xi never minded.It's a little strange to compare so much this time.

Ruan Xi didn't hide it, and said directly: "He barged in without a word, who knows what An's heart is?"
