The way down the mountain is easier to walk.

Meng Qianqian led the horse and reached the foot of the mountain very smoothly.

Lu Yuan said casually, "You are familiar with the terrain here."

Meng Qianqian pinched her fingers secretly.

No wonder he asked her to lead the horse. It turned out that he was testing him again. This man really has eight hundred schemes.

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "I've seen the map."

Lu Yuan sat on the horse and stared at her back: "Where did you see that?"

Meng Qianqian said: "The Grand Commander's library."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "How come I don't know that there is a map of the famous mountains in my library?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Then does the Grand Commander know that your library also has the Seventy-Nine Free and Easy Styles, the Thirty-Six Pictures of Spring Breeze, and the Eighteen Techniques of Controlling Women?"

Lu Yuan's expression froze, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Shang, Guan, Ling! If you dare to hide those messy things in my library again, I will kill you!"

After walking a few more steps, Meng Qianqian suddenly stopped walking.

Lu Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Qianqian thought about it, turned around, looked up at him, and shook the reins in her hand: "Is this worth money?"

Lu Yuan smiled coldly: "Are you still settling accounts with me?"

Meng Qianqian said: "You are the Grand Commander, you can't just let someone lead your horse for nothing."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "If I call you, those who want to serve me will line up from here to Yumen Pass."

Although Meng Qianqian was a little unconvinced, this was the truth.

She let go of the reins.

"This governor has no shortage of people to lead horses."

Lu Yuan rode his horse and walked past her leisurely, "Just barely in need of a guard."

Meng Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she followed very smoothly, grabbed the reins again, and then while leading the horse, she turned back and asked him with fiery eyes: How much money?

Lu Yuan snorted, "No future."

If you have no future, then you have no future. How much is your toy worth?

Meng Qianqian stretched out her finger and said, "The life of the Grand Commander is extremely precious. If I can protect the Grand Commander, how about paying the remaining two cents?"

Lu Yuan smiled vaguely and said, "I'm just afraid that you will have the life to earn it, but not the life to take it."

Meng Qianqian looked forward and said with a firm gaze: "I will return to the capital alive."

Meng Qianqian bought a horse at the post station.

In the evening, the two arrived at Fengsha Town.

Unlike the prosperous capital city where people live and work in peace and contentment, the closer to the border, the more miserable people's lives become.

After entering the town, what they saw were not attic shops with carved beams and painted rafters, but small mud houses with wooden windows and rope hinges.

From time to time, passers-by looked towards the two of them, including some beggars begging on the street with broken bowls, but due to Lu Yuan's murderous aura, no one dared to approach them.

Lu Yuan followed the secret codes left by Qingshuang along the way and came to an inn.

The shopkeeper saw the important guests coming and hurriedly came forward with a smile: "Sir, may I ask who you two are..."

Lu Yuan ignored him and went upstairs.

Meng Qianqian gave him a silver ingot and said, "A room upstairs to feed the horse."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, yes!"

Meng Qianqian followed Lu Yuan and went to Qingshuang's room.

When Qingshuang saw Meng Qianqian, she was very surprised: "Miss Meng?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Qingshuang."

Qingshuang suddenly felt that she had missed out on a lot of things and felt extremely bitter and resentful.

Meng Qianqian looked at the swaddling baby covered with a quilt, walked over with a smile, pulled open the quilt and took a look, and was stunned.

"Meow~"

The little tabby cat in the cradle raised its little paw. It was the cat that had eaten in the library.

Meng Qianqian turned around and looked at Lu Yuan: "Didn't you say Zhao Zhao and Qing Shuang were together?"

Lu Yuan sat down and took a sip of tea lazily: "Oh, it's also called Zhao Zhao."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

What a good trick to deceive the world and replace the beauty with a cat!

Even she was fooled, let alone those enemies who were secretly watching Lu Yuan. They were simply played around by Lu Yuan.

Meng Qianqian frowned: "But where did Zhao Zhao go?"

Beijing.

Wanhua Tower, which had been closed for many days, finally reopened its doors to welcome customers. The girls all have charming figures, delicate makeup, and skin so delicate that you can squeeze water out of it. Who could tell that ten days ago, they were all stung by poisonous bees and turned into pig heads?

"Oh, you've finally recovered. Look at how fair and tender your face is! It's worth all the effort I put into making the antidote for you! Now, girls, go make up for the losses you've suffered these days!"

"Who will be our first distinguished guest on the first night?"

"Open the door——"

Following Madam Yan's order, the turtle slave opened the door in a very ceremonial manner.

The girls rushed forward, vying with each other for beauty.

Then, they all braked!

A little baby sitting cross-legged on the ground: "Woo-wah!"

"Ahhh!"

"The little evil star is back again!"

"Run!"

The girls scattered and fled!

Lady Yan roared to the sky: "Lu-Yuan--"

……

Meng Qianqian had been traveling for many days and hadn't had a good bath for a long time. She asked the waiter for hot water, washed her hair and took a bath in the Qingshuang room, and changed into clean clothes.

Although she was wearing men's clothes, the body shapes of men and women were different, and she had no Adam's apple, so it was still obvious that she was a woman.

This may be rare in the capital, but in the chaotic border area, no one would look at you strangely.

Meng Qianqian went to Lu Yuan's room.

Qingshuang is reporting military intelligence to Lu Yuan.

The imperial cavalry had arrived at Fengsha Town three days ago and was now stationed ten miles away.

The reason why the march was not continued was because the situation at the border had changed.

In order to buy time for the imperial court to solve the case, the governor of the Northern Territory went to the Beiliang military camp alone to show his sincerity.

The people of Beiliang agreed to give Da Zhou another month, and now half a month has passed.

But during this half month, a major event occurred at the border - the bandits who had been beaten and fled by the imperial court actually formed a powerful rebel army. Taking advantage of the absence of the Jiedushi, they stirred up trouble at the border and captured Fengxian, Chixian and Yanggu Town, three important strategic locations, in one fell swoop.

Meng Qianqian said thoughtfully: "Why do I feel like it was Beiliang's work?"

Qingshuang nodded: "The rebels' baggage is not inferior to that of the imperial court. They have no shortage of food, weapons, and armor. In fact, many of the rebels who marched and fought used strange tactics, which did not seem like scattered soldiers at all."

Meng Qianqian said: "There are probably more Beiliang soldiers in the rebel army than bandits. Where is Lu Lingxiao? Is he also in the cavalry camp?"

Qing Shuang replied, "He and Yu Zichuan went to rescue the Yinhu Guards. If the plan goes well, they should have already infiltrated the rebels' territory."

Meng Qianqian clenched her fists.

Lu Yuan said coldly: "If you want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you."

"Without the order of the Grand Commander, Qianqian dare not leave without permission."

It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if we went there now. Who knows where he is hiding?

The best way is to attack all the way and retake the city, then Lu Lingxiao will show up.

The three of them went to the military camp overnight.

"Grand Governor!"

The generals greeted him with courtesy.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at them. He walked towards the main tent with a cold expression and said with full aura: "Prepare for the siege!"
