"Princess, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
When they were about to set off, Magistrate Zhang arrived.
"Sir, why is this?"
Gao Zhijun said with a confused look on her face.
"Someone from the capital."
Magistrate Zhang just spoke briefly.
Gao Zhijun saw the nervous look on Magistrate Zhang's face, and then looked at the crowd in front of her. She felt that something big must have happened, and this matter should not be known to too many people.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she brought Magistrate Zhang into her mansion. Huo Jinqian, Hong Qiujue, Liu Ningchu, and the Shangshu's wife followed them into the yard.
"Sir, please tell me, what is the matter?"
After everyone sat down, Gao Zhijun asked straight to the point.
"Princess, it's like this. The Emperor sent Lord Feng here, saying he's looking for the Cavalry General. The Tatars are invading Daliang and have assembled a force of 100,000. The border is in danger, and the Emperor is furious. He accuses the Cavalry General of neglecting his duties and leaving the barracks without permission. He's ordering him to return to the border immediately, make amends, and keep the Tatars at bay. Otherwise, he'll execute the General's entire clan."
Magistrate Zhang told Gao Zhijun exactly what Lord Feng had said.
When Liu Ningchu heard this, she almost fainted from fright.
She knew that leaving the barracks without permission was a capital offense, and she didn't expect her husband to be so reckless.
I originally thought that as long as the Tatars didn't invade, the emperor wouldn't know about it. But unexpectedly, the thing I feared the most came true.
The emperor knew about the Tatar invasion and was furious. This time, the general's mansion was probably doomed.
Gao Zhijun felt a pang in her heart. This was a difficult matter to handle.
Although my father rushed back to the border, he was still too far away to make it in time and was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.
No, she had to go to the border. She had to make a ten-puller crossbow and grenades. Grenades were extremely lethal, and she didn't want to use them here. For the sake of her family and the people, she couldn't care less. Who had asked them to invade Daliang?
If they were in their own country, she would definitely not use such lethal weapons.
"Master Zhang, could you please take me to see Master Feng?"
Gao Zhijun decided to go to the border, and she had some words she wanted Lord Feng to take back to the emperor.
"Yes, he is in the government office."
Mr. Zhang said.
"Grandma, Mom, Auntie, Jinqian, please ask everyone to wait for a moment. I'll be back soon."
Gao Zhijun said to the Shangshu’s wife and the others.
"I'll go with you."
Huo Jinqian said.
"Okay, Master Zhang, let's go."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she was the first to leave the Gao Mansion and walked towards the village entrance.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they comforted everyone and got on the carriage. Huo Jinqian also got on the carriage. Canglang drove the carriage behind Magistrate Zhang's carriage.
In the car, Huo Jinqian asked Gao Zhijun: "Are you planning to go to the border?"
Gao Zhijun was originally thinking about something, but after hearing what he said, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you know?"
"I can see it from your face. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
Huo Jinqian said seriously.
"No, you still have exams to take. The war will last forever, so you can't go with me. Take them to the capital and settle them down until I win the war and return victorious."
Gao Zhijun refused.
She didn't know what the situation was like at the border, and whether they could wait for her to get there.
If she can't wait, the emperor will not let her family go.
She couldn't implicate Huo Jinqian. He had his revenge to avenge and he also had to be an official. He should live with a good lady.
"Impossible, I don't agree. We are an engaged couple, a family. I want to stand by you and face everything together. Besides, if you can't take the exam this year, you can take it next year. If you can't take it next year, you can take it the year after. If I don't accompany you to the border, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Huo Jinqian said firmly.
He couldn't let Gao Zhijun go to the border alone. He would follow her and protect her if she encountered danger.
Gao Zhijun was deeply moved. She felt that having him accompany her for the rest of her life was nothing more than asking for.
"Okay, let's go to the border together."
Gao Zhijun did not refuse again, but accepted it.
When they arrived at the government office, Magistrate Zhang brought the three of them to the courtyard where Lord Feng lived.
"Sir Feng, Princess Xiangyun requests an audience!"
Magistrate Zhang said outside the door.
After a while, the door opened from the inside and a man walked out.
"Fire Wolf, it's you!"
Canglang said happily when he saw Huolang.
"Canglang, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here."
Fire Wolf said in shock when he saw Cang Wolf.
They are all secret guards of the Secret Guard Camp. He follows Feng Tiangang and is the leader of the Secret Guard Camp, protecting the emperor's safety.
Canglang followed Gulang to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so why is he here?
"Yes, what a coincidence. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent me, Tianhen, and Polang to protect the princess. The princess is now my master."
Canglang explained.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I didn't see you when the Crown Prince left for the border."
Fire Wolf said.
"What? The Crown Prince went to the border."
Canglang said in shock.
The prince is the future king of a country, how can he go to the border?
If something goes wrong, what will Daliang do? After all, on the battlefield, swords are merciless, and no one can guarantee that they can come back alive.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requested a fight, and the Emperor agreed."
Huolang told Canglang what the prince and the emperor had said.
"By the way, Princess, my master is waiting for you inside."
Huolang only now remembered to invite the princess in.
Gao Zhijun went in alone to talk to Lord Feng.
She told Lord Feng what she wanted him to convey to the emperor, and she also personally signed the military order.
She said she had a way to repel the Tatars and hoped the emperor would spare her father and the general's mansion. She also said that if the weapons she made could suppress the Tatars, she hoped the emperor would transfer her father back to Beijing so that their family could be reunited.
After talking for half an hour, Gao Zhijun came out and took Huo Jinqian and Canglang back to Huo Village.
