The streets were crowded with people and cars, and Bai Shu and her group were not moving very fast.

But he also arrived at the city gate at the appointed time and joined Zhu Liangyu and others.

There were 3,000 cavalrymen, and they were also escorting a batch of weapons. Zhu Liangyu was the leader of the team.

Bai Zirong did not choose to be promoted because of his contribution of weapon blueprints, so he is still one level lower than Zhu Liangyu.

"Greetings to the Prince Regent, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal."

Zhu Liangyu was dressed in black. When he saw the person coming, he dismounted and went forward to greet him.

Bai Zirong and others also followed suit and saluted.

"Soldiers, please stand up. Miss Zhu, please stand up too. I didn't expect you to look so dashing in this dress!"

This was not the first time the princess met Zhu Liangyu.

But the one she had seen before was the lady from a wealthy family, Zhu Liangyu.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that women can also have different charm when they step out of the boudoir!

"When we get to the border, I want to see the power of our Dongye's new weapons!"

The princess no longer felt constrained by her status.

She looked at the carts full of weapons covered with thick cloth, and she felt very curious and eager to try.

"No problem. I'll demonstrate it to His Highness once we reach the border."

Zhu Liangyu readily agreed. Their team transported some weapons.

The purpose is to teach the border garrison troops, just in time to demonstrate to the princess,

The teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye sparkled in the sun, unlike the soft beauty she had when we first met.

Bai Shu felt that the teardrop mole on her face added a touch of coolness to her outfit, which made people respect her.

As expected of the future General Zhu, she is so majestic when she is serious. No wonder her second brother got into trouble!

She glanced at Bai Zirong, who was half a step behind Zhu Liangyu.

It feels like he no longer has that noisy look, but is now down-to-earth.

This scene made Bai Shu sigh, it seems that everyone has his own destiny.

The second brother has been very flamboyant since he was young, and the Bai family is worried that he will not be able to calm down.

Little did he know that when he devoted himself to the career he really liked, his growth was rapid.

It is not difficult to find that the look in Bai Zirong's eyes when he looked at Zhu Liangyu was no longer a competitive mentality.

I think it's more about love...

"Let's go. We need to settle down before dark."

Finally, Xiao Moqing gave the order, and the team set off in a mighty procession.

Because Bai Shu and the weapons were with him during this trip, he was very cautious and all the secret agents along the way were dispatched.

Clear the route in advance to ensure road safety.

So the journey was relatively smooth and we didn't encounter any assassins, bandits, or other bad guys.

At first, the princess was still in the excitement of going out and did not feel tired at all.

But as time went by, the princess, who had been traveling for more than 20 days, finally felt the true meaning of fatigue.

Even the emperor's uncle's luxurious carriage was a pain in her butt!

"Shu'er, how long will it take us to reach the border?"

It was another day of getting up early and rushing on the road. The eldest princess sat in the carriage with a look of despair, her eyelids drooping with sleepiness.

Her face was also a little tired. She didn't expect that this trip was completely different from what she imagined.

I thought I could see the vast scenery of mountains, rivers and seas and taste the local specialties.

However, the reality is that the roads we walk every day are either mountain roads or official roads, and the surrounding scenery is either forests or villages.

Time is spent in only two places: accommodation and travel.

What’s even more infuriating is that no matter what delicacy she wants to eat, Bai Shu always says that Tianxiang Restaurant has it!

Even the chef at Tianxiang Restaurant cooks better food!

What else could she say? Sometimes she really wished she wasn't so smart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have understood from the emperor's uncle's insignificant smile that Bai Shu was being treated specially by the emperor's uncle!

Okay, what a blatant preference!

Her original strong desire to share has now turned into the desire to sleep, the desire to sleep!

"Sister, just hold on a little longer. We should be able to reach the border in less than five days."

Bai Shu also felt sorry for the princess, so she prepared some pills to nourish her body on the way.

He also gave everyone a prescription for tranquilizing the mind, which was placed in a sachet beside the pillow, so that they could sleep peacefully at night.

Now they are in Mr. Chu's hometown, Luan County,

We could have stopped for a few days, but Xiao Moqing's men said that there was no clue of itinerant merchants in Luan County, but there were itinerant merchants in the border areas all year round.

Maybe they could find someone selling ice stones there, so their destination was directly the border.

"Five more days? This is really boring."

When the eldest princess heard the word "five days", her heart stopped beating instantly. She had never felt that time was so long.

"Once we get to the border, we can rest for a few days. Don't worry, sister. I'll definitely let you have fun on the way back!"

Bai Shu comforted the princess. She glanced at Xiao Moqing and found that he was still silent.

Then I knew that he still hadn't told the princess about his plan.

Then she couldn't just say, "Your uncle is dying and waiting for medicine to detoxify him..."

But she felt sorry for the eldest princess.

Suddenly, Bai Shu had an idea and came up with a good idea!

"Or maybe Shule County is just ahead, which happens to be my sister's fiefdom. Why don't you wait for us here?"

"The prince has sent people to guard my sister, so there shouldn't be any safety issues."

The more Bai Shu thought about it, the better she felt about this idea. The journey to the Northern Desert was fraught with danger.

If she were to stay in her fiefdom, it would be the best solution!

However, the princess refused without hesitation after hearing this. She leaned against Bai Shu and said,

"I don't want to stay in my fiefdom and wait for you. The ministers in Shule are all so rigid and stern. What's the point of being with them?"

"I'm just a little sleepy, just lean on your shoulder. I'll be refreshed when I wake up!"

Are you kidding? How could she give up Bai Shu and go to Shule?

That place is just a figment of her imagination. She has never been there. What's the point of visiting it alone?

The eldest princess leaned on Bai Shu's shoulder, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

In short, she can still overcome this difficulty!

Seeing this, Bai Shu could only smile helplessly and adjusted her posture to make the princess sleep a little more comfortably.

Then she said in her heart,

[Xiao Moqing, the autumn weather is so refreshing, why don't you go for a ride and enjoy the breeze?]

At first, Bai Shu could still look at Xiao Moqing confidently, but the further she talked, the less confident she became.

Under Xiao Moqing's deep and affectionate gaze, she turned her head to the side.

What's with this damn guilt?

You can't be soft-hearted just because he's good-looking!

He will go out for some fresh air now, so the princess can lie down and rest for a while.

At worst, I can wait until they have rested enough, and then Xiao Moqing can come in to catch up on some sleep!

But Bai Shu finally softened her heart and added stubbornly,

[Forget it, after lunch, let's stay in Shule for half a day and set off again tomorrow morning.]

Bai Shu was also helpless. Both of them were treasures, so which one should she favor?
