The sky was gloomy in the morning. Jiang Xue Ning was standing in the yard admiring the plum blossoms, while Jiang Li was walking in the snow.

"As soon as the city gates opened, news of the battle from the northwest arrived at full speed."

Jiang Xue Ning used a pair of scissors to cut off a branch of bright red plum blossoms with a "click", handed it to Qinghe, who took it back and put it in the vase in the study.

"how is the situation?"

"The Wolf Fang Army lost three cities in a row and retreated to Baiyun City. The court was in an uproar. After all, if Baiyun City was defeated and the Turks marched in, Xiling would be in danger."

As the news spread, the whole capital was in danger and everyone was in danger.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "It seems that Bai Yu has already brought Bai Yue to the northwest."

Letting the Langya Army retreat to Baiyun City to preserve their strength was originally part of their plan.

Jiang Libo said coldly, "Everything is ready. When will the princess close the net?"

His face was calm, but he couldn't help being excited. Although Jiang Xue Ning didn't reveal anything, he knew that after this game, everything would be different.

Jiang Xue Ning smiled faintly, "There is only one link left before closing the net, there is no rush to wait for everyone to arrive."

He naturally knew who she was waiting for. Even he himself was full of curiosity. "The ship will arrive in the afternoon."

She looked up at the snowy yard, where ice had formed under the eaves. It was already the coldest month of winter, and the river had frozen over. River transport would be suspended for a while until the ice melted in the spring.

"We are so eager to get to Beijing by the end of the year, risking the freezing of the river."

Jiang Li chuckled, "I think the riverbank will be busy today, many people are waiting to see the real thing."

She was in a very delicate mood. She was now Jiang Xue Ning, and the person who claimed to be Gu Mingyue had finally arrived.

After lunch, she got on the carriage with a stove in her hands. Bingtong looked at her curiously and said, "I don't believe it can be more like you."

At that time, it was Bingtong who personally broke the shackles on the Beichuan Ice Field and caused the avalanche. She naturally knew that Gu Mingyue could not be alive, at least her body had been buried forever under the ice field.

She lowered her eyes and smiled, "You'll know when you see it."

Although the weather was very cold, the dock was extremely lively. The nearby teahouses and tea stalls were almost full, and I wondered how many dignitaries had come.

Bingtong saw Helian Mu at a glance. He took his men to occupy the best position and put on a big show.

Jiang Xue Ning's arrival naturally attracted the attention of all parties. She had a special relationship with the Gu family, and her current sensitive identity made it hard for people not to think too much.

Wu Jin and his people had already found a place and set up a table and benches to block the wind. She walked over and sat down.

Qing He immediately poured a cup of tea for her and Bing Tong, "It's cold, drink it to warm your body."

Caiyue even placed two plates of snacks on the table. She looked around and saw that they were relatively low-key. All the seats with good views on the entire pier were occupied, and even some rich young man from some unknown family came to join in the fun with his girlfriends.

"Oh, even watching a big play isn't as exciting as this."

Jiang Xue Ning said this while crushing the walnuts in her hand. They had better not let him down since the performance had come to this point.

As everyone was eagerly waiting, a large ship flying the flag of Baidu City slowly approached the shore.

Jiang Li stood up and looked over. "Here it comes."

"Ah."

Jiang Xue Ning sat still, took a sip of tea, and didn't look panicked at all.

The boat stopped at the shore, and the guards and personal soldiers got off the boat to clear the way. Amidst the crowd, a man in black clothes and a woman got off the boat.

She curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically and said in her heart: It's been a long time since I returned to the wild.

Guiye, the mayor of Baidu City, does not look stunning at first glance, but rather exudes a calm and composed composure.

What was even more eye-catching was the woman beside him. She was wearing a cloud satin skirt with hundreds of golden butterflies embroidered on it. As she walked, the golden butterflies on the hem of her skirt were lifelike, as if they were about to fly out. She was bright and noble, but she was wearing a veil so that her face could not be seen clearly.

As they approached, all kinds of discussions were heard around, and many people stretched their necks to try to get a glimpse of her true appearance.

Bing Tong sneered, "Playing tricks."

A dandy boy whistled, "Ah, isn't it said that Gu Mingyue is a great beauty, that's why I came to see her in such a cold weather, how come you don't even dare to show your face."

"Beauty, don't be so stingy, let us take a look."

There was a burst of booing, and Jiang Xue Ning was amused. This kind of dandy boy was always fearless and was the happiest person to drink and enjoy himself.

Guiye looked indifferent, but the woman next to her hesitated for a moment, but quickly walked forward without making any noise.

Jiang Xue Ning said to Wu Jin, "Let me borrow your sword."

As they walked up, a sword suddenly flew out of nowhere and lifted the woman's veil at a tricky angle.

She opened her eyes wide in shock and was panicked for a moment.

The guards and personal soldiers protected her as if they were facing a great enemy.

Gui Ye had already looked over, and Helian Mu and Xiao Linfeng also looked over from afar.

"Tsk, which hero took action? Well done!" A group of playboys clapped and cheered.

Jiang Xue Ning stood up and walked over step by step.

Gui Ye narrowed his eyes, and the face in his field of vision became clearer and clearer. If he had not heard that Princess Mingyue looked very similar to the Princess Chen of the past, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.

Even though I had heard many rumors about her and was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help being shocked when I saw her with my own eyes.

His face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. The woman beside him subconsciously hid behind him.

Jiang Xue Ning walked up to them calmly and leisurely, looking at the woman.

At first glance, that face does look a bit like myself back then, but upon closer inspection, I realize that they are only 30% similar, and not in spirit.

The woman became very nervous when she looked at her, and she lowered her head unconsciously to avoid her gaze.

She sneered, looked at Guiye with disdain and said, "Don't tell me this is Gu Mingyue."

An obvious fake cannot fool anyone.

Gui Ye said calmly, "These are all misunderstandings. Don't trust rumors."

Such a rumor should not be believed lightly, which attracted the attention of all parties. According to his calculating character, she didn't believe that he would do something meaningless.

A group of playboys came up, took a closer look, and were greatly disappointed.

"Tsk tsk, after all this time, she's still not as pretty as the princess."

"It's a low-level fake, and it's so mysterious. It's a waste of my time."

Guiye's expression finally showed a little bit of change, and he started to explain, "The princess and I were destined to be together. That year, when the apricot blossoms were drizzling, I went to the temple to light the lanterns for the princess, and I happened to meet a child with similar features to the princess. I thought it was the guidance of the gods, so I considered her my sister."

Anyone who claims the name of God is just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

She realized that this was a way of using the name of God and Gu Mingyue to raise the value of the counterfeit.

Unfortunately, the situation in the capital was changing rapidly, and Guiye might have miscalculated.

She lifted the woman's chin and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Rouge."
