found a fool

Finally arrived at the frontier, it was the coldest time at this time, it was almost freezing, Xia Liyang just got off the carriage, he was shivered by the cold wind.

In fact, he wore a lot of clothes. He also wore a fox fur outside, a thick plush hat covered his ears, his whole body was tightly wrapped, and he also wore a homemade mask on his face.

Then he looked forward and saw the blue-black city wall and the mottled gate. The original color of the gate was probably red, and the paint had faded over the years, but it looked more rustic.

This is Pingcheng, a city on the frontier, and a line of defense that the enemy must pass through to enter Qingguo.

"General!" The city gate opened, and a man in his thirties greeted him. He was pleasantly surprised: "The subordinates have finally expected the general to come over!"

"He Yuan, how is the battle going?" Zhao Xiaoyi asked with a frown.

"It's not good." He Yuan's expression became bitter: "The group of barbarians... like loaches! They knew that the reinforcements were coming soon, they fought all night last night, and they just retreated before you came."

When Xia Liyang heard his words, he felt a little bad in his heart, because it seemed that the enemy army knew they had arrived and was sure that they would not be able to attack for a while, so they retreated to reduce the losses of the soldiers.

If this is the case, there must be an inner ghost, but it is not known whether the inner ghost is on their side or in Pingcheng.

They didn't stay outside for long, and they were quickly welcomed into the city. Unlike Xia Liyang's imagination of only soldiers, this is a town full of life.

The small shop was still open, and there were diners eating inside. The civilians walking on the road took the initiative to retreat to the side of the road, or stayed away from here, or looked at them curiously, and even a child accidentally rushed over and bumped into Xia Liyang. legs.

Child...Xia Liyang couldn't help thinking of Acha and Ayu, so he was in a daze.

He originally planned to bring Acha and Ayu with him, and he really didn't intend to go too far to the frontier. He planned to take him to live in a town near Niujia Village, and when Zhao Xiaoyi returned victorious, he would occasionally take his children to see them.

However, after Mr. Xianfeng agreed to Xia Liyang's request, he left the child behind, saying that he was afraid that the child would be injured and that they would have nightmares when they saw the dead.

Xia Liyang used a lot of righteous words when persuading Mr. Xianfeng before, and it was difficult to stay any longer, so he had to go to the frontier with Zhao Xiaoyi according to his original idea. Originally, he wanted to relax, but now he is worried every day.

So it was very silent along the way, Zhao Xiaoyi was busy understanding the affairs of Pingcheng, and temporarily failed to notice that Xia Liyang was sad, Lord Yu didn't know where he went, and he was not there for the time being, but Dong Wenling asked worriedly: "Cousin is Are you missing Ah Cha Ah Yu?"

Xia Liyang nodded, and Dong Wenling sighed: "Those two babies are still young, you and I don't know how long we have to stay in the frontier, the child has to wait at home."

Zhao Xiaoyi said that Dong Wenling liked him. He didn't really believe it at first, but he always felt weird when he heard this.

He suppressed the entanglement in his heart, and then sighed: "Yes, this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the imperial city in a few months. Xiaoyi is against me again, if I knew this, I might as well not come."

"General, he was probably just confused for a while." Dong Wenling instead spoke good words for Zhao Xiaoyi, he said: "You have a deep relationship with the general and his wife, and he has you in his heart. It's probably just a moment of desperation that made him say that."

Xia Liyang wasn't really angry, so he couldn't guess which sentence "like that" refers to, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "It's better to be like this!"

Xia Liyang felt that chatting with Dong Wenling had exhausted all his efforts in his life.

But he was really worried, afraid that Dong Wenling would take advantage of the chaos and do something. Xia Liyang still remembered that when he was in the imperial city, someone spread rumors that Zhao Xiaoyi and Prince Yu wanted to rebel.

This rumor was probably made by Mr. Xianfeng, so we need to be extremely careful when dealing with Dong Wenling. After all, it is possible for Mr. Xianfeng to order Dong Wenling anything.

Thinking of this, Xia Liyang became more careful with Dong Wenling.

Dong Wenling looked at Xia Liyang, feeling a little unhappy, everything was within his expectation now, but what he didn't expect, looking at Xia Liyang now, he would be unhappy.

This person has become no different from other brothers.

Dong Wenling still remembered that when he followed Xia Liyang, he was gentle and polite, he was very considerate to his brother, and he spoke humorously, and he never chatted about those parents.

But now, this person can't do without Zhao Xiaoyi, he is no different from those brothers who are detained by their husbands in the backyard, even if they are insulted, they just cry silently and beg for their mercy.

Dong Wenling thought sullenly: I don't seem to like him anymore...

His thoughts were directly reflected in his specific actions. The number of times he made excuses to see Xia Liyang was much less, and when facing Xia Liyang, that shy expression rarely appeared again.

Xia Liyang was stunned. After several discussions with Prince Yu, he found that he couldn't figure out what this guy wanted to do. Zhao Xiaoyi also said that Dong Wenling hadn't provoked him recently.

"Is he empathizing with someone else?" Prince Yu touched his chin: "Who did he empathize with?"

"Li Yang," Zhao Xiaoyi said pitifully, "Since he doesn't do anything anymore, let's..."

Xia Liyang shook his head: "Let's talk about it after a while, not to mention it's not suitable to talk about love now."

It's really not suitable to talk about love recently, because Baizhao's harassment has become more and more frequent.
