The people from Tianshu Pavilion were talking about speculation based on the clues.
Wei Yunlan knew that this was most likely true.
The captured second prince of the Huyan tribe is now imprisoned in Beiguan City!
All the bad premonitions became more concrete at this moment.
No wonder she has been feeling uneasy since she heard that the second prince of Huyan tribe was captured.
No wonder, even though the time for the disbandment had long passed, my father still hadn’t returned from the City Affairs Office today…
"Is there a truce on the front line now?" Wei Yunlan asked anxiously.
Ying Shiqi, who was standing in front of Wei Yunlan, nodded and said, "Since noon today, General Shi captured the Northern Barbarian guerrillas and the second prince Huyan, and the Northern Barbarians stopped their attack. It is said that the Northern Barbarian army retreated a full twenty miles."
Just hearing this, everything is moving in the right direction.
Considering the situation in the Northern Barbarians...
"Although the Second Prince Huyan is the commander-in-chief in name only, he may not be the real leader of the Northern Barbarian Army. I am worried that his abduction was a fraud. Could you please tell Lord Lu and the others a message?"
"Miss Wei, please speak." Ying Shiqi straightened his expression and listened attentively.
"Now that the Second Prince Huyan has been captured, the Northern Barbarians will definitely not give up. I ask all the lords to strengthen the border and patrol around the Northern Pass City in the next two days to prevent the barbarians from taking advantage of the opportunity."
As Wei Yunlan finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed across Ying Shiqi's eyes.
"What?" Wei Yunlan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ying Shiqi said: "The master also specifically told us this."
"Your master, has he already known about the abduction of the Second Prince Huyan?" If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be in Jeju now.
Even if the Saker Falcon trained by Tianshu Pavilion can fly very fast, it still takes two days to go back and forth.
"The master has always reminded us that even if Dayong has the upper hand, we must not take it lightly when facing the Northern Barbarians." Ying Shiqi's answer was ambiguous.
Wei Yunlan did not continue to ask questions based on that doubt. Compared to what the Crown Prince had said, she was more concerned about the safety of her family in Beiguan City.
The previous few times she encountered danger had proved that her premonitions were very accurate.
This time...
After Ying Shiqi left, Wei Yunlan hurriedly left the backyard and happened to meet Gao who was walking towards the back holding little Jiarong.
Cheng Yue'e had her menstrual period these past two days and was not feeling well. Most of the time during the day, Gao and the nanny beside her took care of little Jiarong.
During the exile, plus the one year in Beiguan, I exercised hard every day.
Gao's body was no longer as frail as the women in the inner chamber before. She held the child in her strong and powerful arms. Little Jiarong nestled in her arms with droopy eyelids, drowsy.
As soon as she saw Wei Yunlan, Gao said, "My right eyelid has been twitching non-stop since you said those words just now."
While speaking, Gao's expression was particularly solemn.
Perhaps it is because their bloodline was passed down from Master Gao that they really have some spirituality.
Gao's premonitions had been very accurate in the past.
This time, it was the mother and daughter again, both feeling uneasy.
Wei Yunlan sighed and whispered, "The Second Prince Huyan is now imprisoned in Beiguan City. I suspect that the Northern Barbarians will find an opportunity to send people to sneak into the city, or directly...attack the city."
The former guess is not surprising enough.
The Northern Barbarians have infiltrated the border of Dayong for many years, and the spies ambushed here are definitely not limited to those who were captured previously.
But the following speculation...
Gao gasped, "With 100,000 troops stationed in the north guarding the front line, the northern barbarians shouldn't be able to attack us, right?"
"Even if the main army can't attack, there may be a small force lurking here... We don't have many soldiers left in Beiguan City. Even if the main army comes to support, it will take some time." Wei Yunlan couldn't control the people in the city, but he didn't want to put his own family in crisis.
"Let Mingxuan open all the traps in the courtyard, and keep people to take turns to guard tonight. Send Jiarong and Jiayan back to my sister-in-law first. There is a dark room in her room. If there is a real crisis, let her take the two children into the dark room to take shelter."
"I hope I'm just worrying too much and nothing happens in the end."
Wei Yunlan whispered one last sentence.
The night deepens and the moon hangs high above our heads.
Wei Maolin had not returned from the City Affairs Office yet, but he sent Manager Wang back to tell his family not to worry, because he had important matters to deal with in the City Affairs Office and would have to stay there tonight and would not be able to come back.
Gao thoughtfully prepared a midnight snack for Wang, the steward, to bring back to Wei Maolin. In addition to pear soup, which moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, there was also a few baked buns with braised meat in them.
The meat had been braised in the kitchen for an entire afternoon. Even though it was sandwiched in a steamed bun, the aroma still kept wafting out of the food box.
"In addition to the master's, there is also a share for you." Gao specifically instructed Manager Wang.
"Thank you, ma'am. I am in for a great feast today." Steward Wang responded with a smile.
Just as I was about to go out with the lunch box, I smelled a strange fragrance and couldn't help but shrink my nose.
"Madam, are there any freshly baked flower cakes in your food box?" The smell was somewhat similar to the flower cakes that Madam Tong San baked when she was in the capital.
They all exude a rich floral scent.
Gao was stunned for a moment when asked, "No..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she smelled the faint fragrance.
I shrunk my nose hard, but couldn't smell where the smell was coming from.
After the beginning of autumn, the days become shorter and the nights become longer. People in the north are used to not going out after the beginning of autumn. At this time, the shops on the street have already closed, and some people who go to bed early have already gone to bed.
Who would roast flower cakes at this time...
When something is abnormal, there is something wrong.
"Manager Wang, please wait a moment before leaving." Gao called Manager Wang to stop. Jingping Lane was too close to the South City Gate. If one wanted to go to the City Affairs Office, one would have to walk on the street facing the South City Gate.
If there is any unusual movement in the city, it would be too dangerous to take this road at this time.
"Guixiang, go call Yunlan over."
Gao's face was solemn. Not long after she finished speaking, before Guixiang stepped through the small door leading to the backyard, she saw Wei Yunlan hurriedly walking towards her from behind.
His expression was even more serious than Gao's.
"Mother, please take good care of the house. Call Mr. Yu and ask him to give everyone some refreshing pills. Also, try to inform the neighbors."
"Manager Wang, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion with you."
Without any further explanation, Wei Yunlan jumped on his horse and galloped towards the City Affairs Office.
The floral scent lingering in my nose becomes clearer.
This doesn't smell like roasted flower cakes at all; it's clearly the smell of flowers being roasted directly over fire.
"drive!"
"Faster."
Wei Yunlan gripped the reins tightly, and at this moment, there was something clenched in his palm while he was gripping the reins.
It was the copper token that had just been taken out from the foggy place in the space.
This thing was picked up by Heiyun on his way back!
