Not long after Shen Qiuyun left, Shen Qiuyu also hurried to the outside of the imperial study, but was stopped by Lu Sheng unexpectedly.In the end, he couldn't see Jun Ruohan either.

"Did the emperor see sister just now?" Shen Qiuyu asked unwillingly.

"Yes."

She just heard that her elder sister personally stewed ginseng soup and sent it to the imperial study, so she didn't want to be left behind, and immediately made a supper with her own hands, but her brother Ruohan didn't see him behind closed doors.

"Then... the emperor drank the soup that my sister sent?" She asked again.

"Yes." Lu Sheng said truthfully.

Shen Qiuyu's bright face immediately turned black, she gritted her teeth and stomped away.

On the way back, she was resentful and unwilling. Could it be that because she was born an hour and a half earlier than herself, she was destined to be overwhelmed forever?

……

I don't know if it's because he revealed his "chip" with Jiang Ling, but nothing unexpected happened during the night of rest.

After bumping all the way, I finally reached the southern border.

"Deputy Director, we can reach the destination in half a day." A Feiyun envoy who was in charge of exploring the road came to report.

"Well, according to the previous arrangement, it will be divided into seven routes, and all of them will enter the city within three days." Jiang Ling said indifferently.

Gu Fang naturally didn't know what the previous arrangement was, and he didn't bother to inquire about it.

However, they were divided into seven routes and given three days to enter the city, which meant that they could not let the enemy know about their coming this time.

However, Jiang Ling's unhurried demeanor really made him admire.

After all, when I was leading the army back then, every time before a battle, I always stood on the general platform and gave a passionate speech to boost morale.

On the other hand, this person doesn't seem to have any sense of tension about the upcoming fierce battle.

He believed that even if they won the battle a few months later, this person would not really feel the joy of winning the battle, and probably only regarded it as a task he had completed.

After the Feiyun Envoy left, Jiang Ling said to him, "It would take half a day for the rest of the journey, but there are three days at your disposal, and we can enter the city in three days at the latest. If you If you want to rest well, take advantage of the three days and hurry up!"

Three days, three days, all can be used to rest,

This temptation can be said to be quite big for Gu Fang.

"Then I want to sleep for three days and three nights."

Jiangling was noncommittal.

Three days was enough time for Gu Fang to take a complete rest. During these three days, all the Feiyun envoys left them sooner or later, and in the end only he and Jiang Ling were left together.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he decided to cultivate a "feeling" with Jiang Ling.

Early in the morning, before Jiang Ling opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of food. He raised his eyelids and saw that it was Gu Fang baking something.

What a rare thing, this man seemed to put all his energy into riding on the road along the way, and when it was time to rest, he lay flat under a tree and waited for someone to offer water and food, as if as long as he worked a little more, he would Like dead.

So Jiang Ling was somewhat surprised to see that he was still earning his own living when he got up early in the morning.

"You're awake!" Gu Fang said, turning the pigeon in his hand.

"What are you roasting?" Jiang Ling stretched his legs and stood up.

"Pigeon." Gu Fang said.

"Pigeon?"

"Carrier pigeon." Gu Fang explained kindly, with a rather smug look.

Jiang Ling's eyes narrowed unconsciously, it was this sullen expression that was so characteristic of him.

Gu Fang knew that there must be a certain limit to the truth of the skin, so he put away his expression and pointed to a fist-sized stone at his feet: "Here, that is for your Feige to send a letter."

Jiang Ling possessed himself and moved the stone away, only to see a roll of paper was pressed underneath, although it had already been crushed.

"I thought someone passed the letter to my Feige. I opened it and saw your name, so I put it down." Gu Fang said, still a little disappointed in his heart, "But don't worry, the content is just one word. Didn't even look at it."

Jiang Ling snorted: "How much do you think I will believe what you say?"

Gu Fang was not annoyed: "It's up to you. Besides, I really read it, so what can you do? Kill me to silence you? If I knew you were such a heartless person, I should have burned the letter directly, lest And get a bad reputation."

There was a bit of helplessness and pity in what he said, but Jiang Ling would naturally not be fooled by his little tricks.

I opened the note and read it. It was a letter from my adoptive father.

After reading the content, his vigilance and sternness finally eased. The content of the letter was just about the person in front of him who was heartlessly looking at the pigeon meat and giggling.It's okay to let him see it.

Gu Fang looked at his face, and then said: "What did you say in the letter?"

After I finished speaking, I felt that it was wrong. What did what was said in the letter have anything to do with me?Even if it is related, why should people tell you?

So he changed his words: "Forget it, you better stop talking."

He really didn't read the letter, but he could probably guess that it was a letter from Taiwei Liu most likely, and the content was just to tell him to leave his life in southern Xinjiang.

"It's about you, but it's not a big deal." Jiang Ling sat opposite him, looked at the clear water prepared by the fire, raised his eyebrows, "For me?"

"Otherwise? There is a third person here?" Gu Fang said.

After Jiang Ling washed up briefly, Gu Fang handed over half a roasted pigeon, strictly speaking, it was not half a pigeon, a little less than half, and one leg less.

Jiang Ling didn't reach out to pick it up right away, not because he lacked a leg, but because this person is so attentive that it is inevitable to be suspicious.

His hesitant action is not the case in Gu Fang's eyes: "Why, do you dislike the lack of legs? Big, big deal, I'll give you wings!"

What he said was generous, when he tore off his own wing, the expression on his face was clearly different, it could be said that he wanted to pretend he was unhappy.

Jiang Ling accepted the pigeon meat and rejected his wings. Sometimes he felt that Gu Fang was quite amazing. A leg and wings could make him so interested. I really don’t know what he was pretending to be in his mind every day. .

Moreover, how did such an incomprehensible person become the general of Zhenyuan in the first place?

Oh, by the way, it depends on the relationship.

Vice President Jiang was relieved.

Seeing that he was eating pigeon meat but had no intention of saying anything, Gu Fang couldn't hold back immediately.

He roasted pigeon meat for him not just for him to eat!

"You have nothing to say?" he asked.

Jiang Ling ate the meat slowly, frowned and thought for a while: "It's a bit salty."

Gu Fang: "..."

"Did you kill the salt seller?"

Gu Fang wished he could just roll his eyes at him, if he had known, he would have sprinkled all the remaining salt in it and salted him to death.

In fact, Gu Fang roasted pigeon meat for Jiangling not only because the little beast happened to be flying to deliver a letter so early in the morning and happened to be seen by him, but also because the food given to Jiangling by Liu Taiwei when Feng Xian rescued him. It's pigeon meat.

He also hoped that the pigeon meat would bring back Jiang Ling's memories of the past, so as to understand his past.

However, it was obvious that he thought too much.

Jiang Ling also knew a thing or two about his thoughts, so how could he easily fall for his tricks.

The first time to cultivate "feelings" ended in failure, and Gu Fang was a little discouraged. Such a person who has no desires, no desires and indifferent emotions is really like an iron wall, and he can't even find the slightest flaw.

The closer they are to southern Xinjiang, the more they can feel the instability in southern Xinjiang at this time. From the time they got up after eating and drinking enough to go to the city for just half a day, they encountered two robberies and one purely violent crime. :n for the purpose of the raid.

However, fortunately with Jiang Ling around, there was no danger.

"Are your feet all right?" Jiang Ling asked, looking at his limping legs.

When he was in Zhang Jiansi, the two had many chances to meet each other, but he didn't realize that his leg was actually lame.During this half day, he fought against the enemy three times before Gu Fang showed difficulty.

The problem with the feet was naturally revealed.

"It's okay." Gu Fang said.

It's not that it doesn't get in the way, but it's useless to get in the way, and he's used to it.

The two entered the city dressed as ordinary people, and Gu Fang realized how dangerous his situation was.

Burning, killing and looting can be seen everywhere in the western city of southern Xinjiang. The corpses are scattered in the streets and alleys, and most of them are soldiers. It seems that the loss of King Yan this time is indeed serious.

In such a situation, not to mention Taiwei Liu deliberately sent someone to deal with him, even if he didn't, it is not impossible for him to die here.

Those who started the riots wore wizard costumes from the previous dynasty, with a black hooded cloak embroidered with a large word "Lan" on the vest, a red circle on the left chest representing the sun, a yellow crescent on the right chest representing the moon, and a unified uniform on the face. black mask.

It was decades ago that Lan Kingdom was destroyed by Da Yue. Lan Kingdom believed in witchcraft, and the highest-ranking people were wizards except King Lan. It will be sooner or later.

At that time, Emperor Dayue strangled all the royal families of the previous dynasty with iron and blood wrists, and all the wizards were sentenced to death.

It is rumored that most of the wizards in Lan Kingdom come from southern Xinjiang. It seems not impossible to say that there are still a few fish who slipped through the net and returned to their hometowns for decades and cultivated a group of new believers to start again.

But it's a bit strange to think so blatantly.

After crossing the west city to the north city, the situation finally got better. It seems that the west city has fallen.

Arriving in Beicheng, Jiang Ling did not immediately go to find King Yan, but found an inn to stay.

While washing his face in the room, Gu Fang asked, "Aren't you going to report to King Yan?"

"Why did you report to him?" Their room was on the second floor, and Jiang Ling opened the window to look out at the street. The southern border is large but sparsely populated, but the western city fell, and those who had the opportunity to escape in advance came to the northern city, which made the northern city It seemed a bit crowded inside, but people always had trembling horror on their faces, which showed how the tragedy in West City had affected them.

Gu Fang felt that his rhetorical question was very good, because he didn't know how to answer it at all.

Why report it?

They are the local snakes in this area, and they also want to send more troops to support them. As a result, the reinforcements came, hey, but they didn't say a word, and they didn't tell you that I was coming. What kind of logic is this?
