The horse gallops fast.

The dust is flying.

The people could not avoid it and fled in a panic.

In front of Su Jianyue, there was a half-grown child who was not sure if he had been separated from his family.

The child picked up a piece of candy cake that someone had dropped on the ground, looked up blankly, and was faced with the clattering sound of horse hooves.

The man on the horse had no time to pull the reins.

The horse's hooves were about to fall.

The force of the man and the horse was so great that it was enough to crush the child's head.

Everyone exclaimed.

Su Jianyue was standing closest to the child.

...

...

Xue Jinbao took action immediately.

He was extremely agile and with one roll he picked up the child and rolled across the street.

The horse's hoof finally landed, stepping on empty space.

Su Jianyue's heart finally settled down.

"Whoa!"

The man finally pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed.

The dust that was raised gradually settled.

The wide streets slowly began to return to their previous state.

The child's family came forward and thanked Xue Jinbao profusely.

Where had Xue Jinbao ever seen such a scene?

She immediately ran behind Su Jianyue and buried her face behind her, acting shyly.

Su Jianyue smiled and said a few polite words to the child's mother.

The man on horseback had a full beard and his features could not be seen clearly.

The sun sets, leaving only a half inch of afterglow in the sky.

Some shops on both sides of the street began to close.

The shops that were still open, as well as the roadside vendors, all hung up bright lanterns.

Su Jianyue could clearly see the man's eyes.

Serious, sharp, yet calm and resolute.

He said nothing, just stared at Su Jianyue.

He waved the whip again, rode the horse, and rode away.

"What kind of person is that? He almost hit someone, and he didn't even say sorry."

Next to Su Jianyue is a wonton stall.

The white steam from the hot pot and stove is particularly obvious under the big red lanterns.

Today, the weather is extremely cold.

Everyone loves to eat some hot food.

After eating it, my whole body feels warm.

There were three or four small square tables at the wonton stall, and all of them were filled with people.

The owner of the wonton stall had just taken a breath when he heard Su Jianyue's voice.

He smiled and said, "Is the girl from another place?"

Su Jianyue nodded.

"Yes!"

"No wonder you didn't know. This general was originally a young officer stationed at Liaoyuan Pass. He has been in the army for three years. He has led troops to fight and has made many outstanding achievements. Last year, His Majesty promoted him to General Pingbei. He returned to the capital today. I'm afraid there are unusual movements in the Northern Hu area."

When the wonton stall owner mentioned this, he looked worried.

His second son also enlisted in the army last year. The border is not peaceful. As a parent, how can he not be worried?

Liaoyuan Pass?

After three years in the army, he was promoted by Xiao Yuqi to the rank of General Pingbei?

This is not...

The famous Tianyu God of War Dion in history?

Dion should be only seventeen years old now, why does he have a beard?

However, look at how exhausted he looks.

He probably doesn't have time to take care of his appearance.

The history between the lines suddenly came alive.

"The Northern Hu people are a bunch of bastards. They start to cause riots frequently as the year draws to a close. I don't know when Your Majesty will be able to lead the troops and wipe out the Northern Hu people in one fell swoop!"

"How can it be so easy?"

The men eating wontons around the square table began to discuss state affairs.

As for the Northern Hu, they all gritted their teeth.

The northern barbarians were barbaric and fierce, and each of them was tall and strong.

According to rumors, the people of the Northern Hu are brave and good at fighting. They are ten feet tall, have eyes like copper mountains, bloody mouths, green faces and fangs. They eat raw meat and drink raw blood. They are as strong as bulls and have a bearing as great as mountains and rivers.

If Tianyu's soldiers went to attack Beihu, in a head-on fight, ten Tianyu soldiers might not be able to defeat one Beihu person.

The Northern Hu are short of land, and once they run out of food, they will start plundering other countries' borders.

The land is vast and the resources are abundant.

It is their best choice to snatch food.

At the end of every year, the northern Hu people would make such a fuss.

The emperors of Tianyu dynasties were all troubled by this.

They were talking to each other.

The more he spoke, the more angry he became.

From those words, Su Jianyue once again had a deeper understanding of Xiao Yuqi's difficult situation.

Was she too fierce just now?

In fact, Xiao Yuqi is also very rare.

She lowered her head and silently kicked the stones under her feet.

Xue Jinbao excitedly pulled Su Jianyue to the candied haws stall opposite.

She pointed at the strings of bright red and shiny candied haws and looked at Su Jianyue with anticipation in her eyes.

"Hey, girl, would you like two strings of candied haws? My candied haws are plump and thickly coated with sugar. They taste sweet and sour, so delicious!"

The boss tried hard to sell his own candied haws to Su Jianyue.

Su Jianyue actually wanted to buy it.

But she has no money!

Around Su Jianyue's neck was still hanging the bone whistle that Xiao Yuqi gave her.

But she couldn't go to such lengths to blow the whistle just for a string of candied haws, could she?

Just when Su Jianyue was in trouble.

A big hand reached out.

There was a silver ingot in his palm.

"Boss, give me two strings of candied haws."

Su Jianyue turned back suddenly.

He met Xiao Yuqi's affectionate eyes.

Deep and bright.

The moment when the sky was completely dark.

Those eyes suddenly replaced the brightest star in the sky.

It fell straight into Su Jianyue's heart.

Touched her soft heart.

"Okay!"

The boss swiftly handed Xiao Yuqi two strings of candied haws.

He took the money and searched for the change in the money basket he was carrying.

Xiao Yuqi handed a string of candied haws to Su Jianyue and Xue Jinbao, and then replied calmly, "No need to look for it!"

He naturally held Su Jianyue's empty hand.

It seemed as if there had never been any unpleasantness between the two of them.

Su Jianyue followed silently.

She took a big bite of the candied haws.

Very good, I took a bite of pure sugar coating.

This boss really uses honest materials.

Xue Jinbao enjoyed the meal very much.

"Someone, send Miss Xue back."

Cleared the light bulb.

Xiao Yuqi raised his hand and touched Su Jianyue's cheek again.

"Are you cold? Curfew is about to start. We should go back to the palace."

Su Jianyue's chest still felt a little stuffy.

"Mrs. Zeng has been arrested. Where are you going to take Jin Baoer?"

Xiao Yuqi smiled, "Who told you that Madam Zeng was arrested?"

"Um?"

By the time Su Jianyue finally realized what this sentence meant.

She had already been carried by Xiao Yuqi onto the carriage back to the palace.

The narrow carriage could barely accommodate Xiao Yuqi and her.

"You are setting up a trap now, and you are even deceiving me?"

Xiao Yuqi shrugged and leaned against the wall of the carriage.

"I thought you and I were in tune with each other. Even if I didn't tell you, you should have known it."

Su Jianyue angrily bit off a whole sugar-coated hawthorn.

Like a bullied little hamster.

Xiao Yuqi's eyes darkened.

Seeing this.

He leaned forward and bowed his head.

With one bite, he bit the other side of the hawthorn.
