165 Is there any reason for you to come?
After deciding to go to Yinzhou, Qing Er and Qing San in the dark quickly passed the news to their master.
When they received the reply and opened it, Qing Er and Qing Da were shocked.
The carriage traveled for a day and entered a small county town, where we found an inn.
Xiao Hezhou asked everyone to stop and rest for one night.
As soon as he got off the horse, two people appeared in front of him, one with a smiling face, and the other with a stern expression. Both of them had swords at their sides. They didn't look like ordinary people, but more like guards.
Xiao Hezhou frowned and looked them up and down, confirming that he didn't recognize them.
"you……"
"Hello, Young Master Xiao San." Qing Er smiled and raised his hand to greet him, and Qing San followed indifferently.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Luzhi and Lanzhi came out first. Their eyes lit up when they saw the two people.
Qing Er raised his eyebrows at the two of them, completely unlike the dead fish face of Qing San beside him.
Lanzhi was delighted all of a sudden.
Xiao Tingyun got off the carriage with Luzhi's hand and was also surprised by the two people. "Why did you come out?"
"Ayun knows them?" Xiao Hezhou asked first.
Suddenly he thought of something and his face looked a little grim.
Qing Er didn't say anything at this time, but just clasped his hands in a flattering manner towards Xiao Tingyun.
A smile flashed in Xiao Tingyun's eyes, "Third brother, they are Qing Er and Qing San, the ones who are protecting us in secret."
Protect us secretly?
I'm afraid he is only protecting his sister.
I have to say, Xiao Hezhou's truth is revealed.
And they said they were doing it in secret, which meant they were secret guards, but they suddenly showed up at this time, and no one knew what it meant.
Xiao Hezhou couldn't pretend that he didn't know them, and they were the secret guards who obeyed His Majesty's orders. Although they had no actual official titles, they were more valued by His Majesty than others.
He is more important than him right now.
Xiao Hezhou was a gentleman and he was also someone who took good care of the two siblings, so he greeted them politely.
But Qing Er and Qing San couldn't stand it, and they just turned sideways and said, "Young Master Xiao San, how polite you are."
"You haven't told me why you came out? Is there any news?" Xiao Tingyun asked.
Qing Er shook his head, "The master asked us to accompany and protect the Third Miss."
Xiao Hezhou: ...As expected, he only protects his sister.
Xiao Tingyun asked again, "What about the others? Is he okay? How is my uncle?"
Qing Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Miss, the master is fine, and your uncle is also fine. I believe the good news has been reported back to Kyoto by now."
Xiao Hezhou and Xiao Tingyun's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course, the master led the army like a god and recaptured a county. The enemy retreated a hundred miles, but the news is still on the way, and it will probably take some time to get through."
Finally there was good news, and Xiao Hezhou and Xiao Tingyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
After traveling for another half a month, they finally arrived at Yinzhou.
Qing Er and Qing San were well-informed and had special means of communication with Pei Yuning, so they led their people into a courtyard in the city, which was secluded but not isolated and helpless.
Xiao Tingyun got off the carriage wearing a hat covering his face. Before he could get in, he saw a whole group of horses riding towards him in the distance.
The sound was so loud that the dust raised by the horses' hooves covered the ground. Xiao Tingyun turned his head to avoid it.
However, Xiao Hezhou recognized the leader at a glance, it was Xu Huaili.
Xu Huaili led his men on a patrol under the orders of His Majesty. They should have left two days ago, but one of the soldiers suffered a relapse of his old injury, so they had to stay for two more days.
At this moment, his black military armor was glowing coldly under the light, his face was sullen, and his eyes were sharp.
He glanced inadvertently in the direction of their carriage and his pupils shrank.
"Stop!" He raised his hand suddenly to stop the team.
The soldiers behind him stopped their horses one after another, "General, is there anything unusual?"
Xu Huaili pursed his lips and said, "Wait for me here!"
He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, whipped it and headed towards Xiao Hezhou.
Xiao Tingyun heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and turned around to see through the white hat. It turned out to be an old acquaintance.
Soon, the horse stopped in front of them. Xu Huaili stood upright, turned half a circle on the horse's back and jumped off. It must be said that it was very pleasing to the eye.
Xu Huaili took a few steps and came to Xiao Hezhou, but his eyes fell on Xiao Tingyun.
Qing Er and Qing San's eyes were slightly icy, they both knew that this general had coveted the Third Miss, so they had to be on guard.
Move quietly to block the view.
Until Xiao Hezhou called out, "General Xu."
Xu Huaili looked at Qing Er and Qing San, his eyes turned cold, and then he turned his gaze away with cold eyes, "Mr. Xiao San."
Xiao Hezhou was always gentle and polite to others. Even if he was angry, he would not be as ruthless as this man. He was stunned by his sudden cold face, "General Xu, what is this..."
"Do you know where this place is?" Xu Huaili scolded directly, "You actually brought your sister here?"
"I..." Xiao Hezhou's mouth moved and his eyes looked strange.
How did he know it was Ayun?
"This is Yinzhou! Are you listening to lectures on classics, history, and literature in the academy?"
"If enemies break into the city, can you protect her easily? You'd better leave quickly!"
A series of punches came down, leaving Xiao Hezhou confused.
"This, this I..." Xiao Hezhou felt aggrieved, but he couldn't open his mouth to talk to him.
"General Xu misunderstood."
In order to avoid escalating the misunderstanding, Xiao Tingyun interrupted Xu Huaili in time.
"Misunderstanding?" Xu Huaili then naturally turned his eyes to her.
Even through the hat, he recognized her at a glance. The hat blocked his vision and he could only vaguely see the shadow of her face.
Xu Huaili secretly suppressed the boiling in his heart, clenched his palms on his back, and veins bulged.
"I came here on my own initiative."
Xiao Tingyun spoke in a light tone. In fact, she didn't think it was necessary for her to explain her whereabouts to him.
What's more, she thought that her relationship with Xu Huaili had become very strained.
But she also didn't want her third brother to be accused by him in public.
"You want to come here on your own? Don't you know how dangerous it is here? Is there any reason for you to come here?" Xu Huaili paused as soon as he finished speaking.
The first reason he had to come here was that majestic figure.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at him and said, "That has nothing to do with you, General. Please do as you please, General Xu. We still need to pack our luggage."
After saying that, Qing Er led his people into the yard in a very tactful manner.
Xu Huaili pursed his lips, but he could no longer utter a word.
Xiao Hezhou stared at him, puzzled, but still bowed and said goodbye, "General Xu, please do as you please."
Who can stand being scolded right at the start?
And...how on earth did he recognize that it was Ayun's?
Until the gate of the courtyard closed, Xu Huaili's figure was still standing there.
The whole body is filled with coldness and desolation.
After a while, he strode away, mounted his horse, and rode away.
