When they arrived in Yizhou, after Lu Wei arranged Zhao Ziyan and others to the hotel, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Xiao Tuo at the military camp outside Yizhou city.

Xiao Tuo received Xiao Shuyi's letter early in the morning, and has been paying attention to the situation in Yizhou these days.This time, Tuyuhun was determined to fight. Since he led his army to Yizhou, although he repelled Tuyuhun and attacked Yizhou City, Tuyuhun never retreated. In just a few months, the farmlands of the small villages around Yizhou were completely destroyed and deserted.

And the Tuyuhun people intensified, and began to harass the people of Daxia in the western region on a large scale. The surrounding garrisons repeatedly asked Xiao Tuo for support.In addition, at the beginning, Xiao Tuo's army was not adapted to the climate in the western region, and they were not acclimatized to the soil and water, so they could not fight against the brave Tuyuhun people on horseback. Xiao Tuo's army lost many people.At the moment, he has no choice but to formally advance the front line and strictly guard against death, which consumes a lot of military pay.

Hearing the report from the soldiers sent by Lu Wei, Xiao Tuo finally looked better, and told the lieutenant beside him: "Qi Rui, you guard here carefully, pass on the order, all the soldiers will have extra meals tomorrow, I will go back to Yizhou first .”

"Yes, General!"

Xiao Tuo hurried back to Yizhou with a pair of cavalry, and went straight to the hotel.

As soon as Zhao Mojian changed his clothes, someone from below announced: "Your Highness Seventh, General Xiao is here."

Zhao Mojian frowned, and said lightly: "Understood, I'll go right away, you go and serve tea first."

Seeing her like this, Ziling who had been following Zhao Mojian cautiously said, "Your Highness seems a little unhappy?"

Zhao Mojian paused for a moment as he straightened his belt, then glanced at Ziling, saw her lower her head in a panic, and added casually: "Would you be happy to meet someone who has been teaching you like an elder?" ?” After that, she went straight out the door with a cold face.Ziling followed respectfully, not daring to say a word.

When Zhao Mojian went to the front hall, Xiao Tuo was wearing a cold armor, sitting upright drinking tea, seeing Zhao Mojian coming in, he didn't get up, just casually said: "Your Highness is coming."

Zhao Mojian stopped on the spot for a while, glanced at Xiao Tuo, saw him standing still, then walked over slowly, and said in a dull tone: "What's the matter, uncle, come here when you are free?"

Xiao Tuo put down the teacup, glanced at her sideways, and said with an unhappy expression: "My 20 troops have been waiting for your military pay for more than a month, and finally arrived, but His Highness didn't go to the military camp in person, and stayed in the hotel to rest, you said Why should I come here?"

The expression on Zhao Mojian's face remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Uncle is busy with military affairs, I asked Mr. Lu to deliver the food, so I didn't bother you anymore."

Xiao Tuo snorted coldly: "Your Highness has already told me the purpose of your visit this time, and I will do my best to help, but I also hope that Your Highness can win the battle. I never want to see things like private salt. to the second time."

Zhao Mojian suddenly turned his head and clenched his fingers tightly, but he said patiently: "I understand, but I also hope that uncle will not only care about the immediate interests and ruin our future deployment. After all, the case of private salt, the Xiao family exposed too much. If there are too many, if you don't restrain yourself, the emperor will probably notice."

There was a trace of anger on Xiao Tuo's face, but he had nothing to say, he could only snort heavily, and then said: "Since His Highness has arrived, I must have found all the incomplete scrolls. Yizhou is not a capital city, and the officials here They are all determined, and it is not easy to find it under their noses. Moreover, Tuyuhun has made a lot of noise recently, and I hope His Highness will give me the complete picture as soon as possible, otherwise I may not have time to take care of it."

There was some coldness in Zhao Mojian's eyes. She knew her uncle very well. If the treasure of Emperor Yongdi was given to him, he would definitely get a share of it, and there would definitely be no less.Her mother and concubine thought that they had depended on each other since they were young, and trusted and tolerated him in every possible way, but Zhao Mojian knew very well that even if her father's true biography was in her one day, her uncle might threaten the emperor to make the princes!

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tuo, and suddenly showed a smile: "Uncle and Mo Jian are blood relatives, and I must rely on Uncle when I come to Yizhou this time. I will inform Uncle when I find out the exact location. After all, Uncle is General Zhengxi, send someone to investigate this, it is easy to be caught."

Xiao Tuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Your Highness, don't forget, I'm going back to the barracks first."

Xiao Tuo got up to go out, Zhao Mojian also sent him out, but happened to meet Zhao Ziyan on the way.Zhao Ziyan just finished bathing and wanted to go out to find Fu Yanqing. When he saw Xiao Tuo, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhao Mojian, who was behind Xiao Tuo, who was not looking very well, and didn't speak immediately.

Seeing her standing alone, Xiao Tuo couldn't help but feel a little displeased, and was about to scold her, but saw the silver unicorn on her skirt, and immediately realized who it was, and said with a little contempt: "So it's Jiu Your Highness, it's just that your Highness doesn't stay in the capital, so what can you do here?" He had hardly met Zhao Ziyan, but he knew that his younger sister hated Wen Ruyan very much, and even hated this child to the bone, so he couldn't help but say something ridicule.

Zhao Ziyan didn't care, and said in a slow voice: "It turns out that you know Gu. I don't know which soldier, but he was so presumptuous when he saw His Highness. Could it be that when he came to the Western Region, he ignored the etiquette and rules, and even His Majesty You don’t need to worry anymore?” Seeing that Xiao Tuo’s face turned blue, before he could speak, he said coldly, “And he walked in front of His Highness the Seventh Prince, and he was so arrogant and rude. It is rumored that General Xiao is strict in military law and has a good command. If you know that there are such unruly soldiers underground, you will definitely be punished severely."

Xiao Tuo's face turned blue and white, Zhao Mojian pretended to be cold and angry after hearing Zhao Ziyan's words: "Zi Yan, this is my uncle, General Xiao."

Zhao Ziyan was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and had an inconceivable expression on his face, which made Xiao Tuo's eyes widen angrily: "When this general fought in all directions and fought for His Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince didn't know where he was. Let this general salute, and His Highness accepts it." Can you afford it?!"

Zhao Ziyan hurriedly laughed and said, "I have never met General Xiao before, so I offended you for a while, is it Gu? The general is extraordinary, so he shouldn't be angry with Gu."

Xiao Tuo has always been arrogant, although he doesn't take Zhao Ziyan seriously, but after all, she is an imperial concubine, and with these words in front of her, she can only hold back her breath, and said coldly: "Your Highness Ninth Prince has bad eyesight, so I naturally don't like it." It’s just that Yizhou is not peaceful now, so I advise His Highness not to run around. The general is busy with work, so I will retire first.”

Seeing Xiao Tuo leaving with a livid face, Zhao Ziyan looked up, but Zhao Mojian sneered and said, "Nine Imperial Sisters have grown up, and dare to embarrass my uncle."

Zhao Ziyan smiled lowly and said: "How dare I, it's just that I was stupid and didn't recognize General Xiao for a while. Besides, Miss Huang seems to be very happy with my job."

Seeing Zhao Mojian's face turned cold, Zhao Ziyan shook his head and sighed: "Although she is an uncle, after all, Miss Huang is the honor of His Highness. She is so casual and doesn't feel close, so I will admit my mistake and think it is a reckless person who does not know the heights of the sky and the earth." Husband... oh, I made a slip of the tongue, don't blame the emperor. I want to visit Yizhou City, so I'm leaving first."

Zhao Mojian looked at the back of her leaving, and thought of Xiao Tuo's attitude towards her in the past few years, there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and there was no closeness between nephew and uncle, and it was more about reprimanding and ordering, so he couldn't help frowning severely.

Zhao Ziyan made those two unhappy, but he himself was in a good mood.According to the place agreed with Fu Yanqing, he went straight to the private room of a restaurant and knocked on the door.When the door opened, Zhao Ziyan looked at the familiar face in his memory, couldn't help suppressing joy in his eyes, reached out to hug Fu Yanqing, and closed the door with his foot.

Zhao Ziyan let go of her, pursed his lips and said, "You haven't been seen for the past three days."

Fu Yanqing was hugged by her so shamelessly, he couldn't help but patted her head, and said with a smile, "Why are you so clingy?"

Fu Yanqing couldn't help being a little funny: "Don't play tricks. By the way, I received a letter from Le Yao before. Is the matter over there settled? Are they okay?"

Mentioning this matter, Zhao Ziyan became serious, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's been dealt with properly, but Le Yao was injured, but fortunately, it's a flesh injury, and it will be fine."

Fu Yanqing nodded, the two over there were basically their left and right arms, and if something happened, they would not be safe.

"There's something moving about Zhao Mojian." Fu Yanqing sat down and brought tea to Zhao Ziyan. Thinking of Zhao Mojian, he couldn't help but say.

Zhao Ziyan shook his head: "It's just that she secretly brought all her right-hand assistants to Yizhou, and gathered all the treasure scrolls. I think I just need to understand the map and start looking when I find the right time." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ziyan raised her eyes and said: "Xiao Tuo came to look for her today, but the atmosphere between the two is not quite right, and Zhao Ziyan and Xiao Tuo are not as harmonious as I imagined."

Fu Yanqing sneered and said, "A person like Zhao Mojian, except for puppets and people without brains, can't get along with anyone who threatens her."

When Zhao Ziyan saw that she mentioned Zhao Mojian, his expression became sharp and his tone was not good, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said softly: "Qing'er, you seem to know Zhao Mojian very well, and you also hate it." she?"

In fact, Zhao Ziyan was very puzzled about this point. Fu Yanqing was calm and indifferent by nature, and she could deal with many things calmly, and she had been like this since she was a child.But from memory, Fu Yanqing hates Zhao Mojian very much. Although she never said it verbally, every time she sees Zhao Mojian back, or even mentions Zhao Mojian, she can feel her emotional fluctuations. If there is no coldness.If it is said that because it is Zhao Mojian's mother and daughter, she once wanted to use her to get the support of the Southwest Palace, but she also used her plan and did not invest in emotion.According to her temperament, at most she doesn't like this person, but she doesn't hate him. She has never done this even to her father, who has always wanted to eradicate the Southwest Palace. Why is it Zhao Mojian?

Fu Yanqing didn't expect Zhao Ziyan to ask this, and was stunned for a moment, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said nonchalantly, "I've been with her for so many years, so I naturally understand her. As for hating her, why should I treat you like this?" You have to give her a good face, if the form doesn't allow it, I can kill her just because she poisons you."

Originally, he just wanted to cover up his thoughts, but when he mentioned this, Fu Yanqing looked at Zhao Ziyan, and hated Zhao Mojian even more.

Naturally, she knew that Fu Yanqing's mood was true, so Zhao Ziyan was secretly happy in her heart, but she also knew clearly that it was not entirely because of herself.But seeing that Fu Yanqing didn't want to say anything, she just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.No matter what, Fu Yanqing loved her, and since she hated Zhao Mojian, she should get it back for her.

Seeing that she was just smiling, Fu Yanqing felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he could only sigh, and then said softly: "Put together the remaining scrolls of Emperor Yong, and I will tell you the mystery inside tomorrow."

Zhao Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, looked at her complicatedly, then nodded: "Okay."
