The next day, we set off.

The bored people took out the Go board and got into An Xin's spacious carriage.

The main reason was that Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou saw Jiang Xuan, the shameless old man, staying at his own hillside, leaning lazily against the carriage window.

With his eyes slightly squinted, he felt the cool breeze and chatted with An Xin in a casual and leisurely manner, which was annoying to them.

Chi Lan, who didn't want to be abused, was brought in by the two senior brothers. She sat aside and made tea for them, and took out some cakes from the secret compartment of the carriage to eat.

Among all the carriages they had, only the one made by their teacher was designed with a small table for placing teacups without getting messy and a secret compartment for cakes.

An Xin glanced at him and ignored him.

She is quite fond of her own students.

If anyone else dared to act insolently on her territory, they would have been kicked out by An Xin long ago.

"I knew that the teacher loves me the most~" The slender Chi Lan stuffed the pastry in her hand into her mouth and chewed it, then reached out to hug An Xin's arm and acted coquettishly.

Before An Xin could do anything, Jiang Zhou grabbed Chi Lan's small body by the collar and threw her aside, "Be a real man, but you are just a sissy. Get out of the way and stop sticking to my little head."

As the venomous man spoke, he glanced with disdain at Jiang Xuan who was calm and composed beside him.

Jiang Xuan raised his handsome eyebrows and said calmly: "It is not a manly thing to do to point fingers at others."

"You~" Jiang Zhou glared at him, "The old man is quite self-aware. He is talking about you."

Leng Xiangbai secretly shook his head, thinking that his junior brother's fighting ability seemed to have declined a little. He hoped that taking him to Beiming for further training this time would help his ability to speak venomously to others reach a higher level.

An Xin watched them bickering with a smile in her eyes, and surprisingly she felt that this boring journey wasn't so boring after all.

Next, Jiang Zhou challenged someone to a game of chess.

After all, he is slightly inferior in bickering, so he plans to beat this monster on the chessboard, who seems indifferent but is actually more vicious than him.

An Xin leaned on the soft pillow in the carriage, eating a piece of almond cake handed to her by Chi Lan, watching Jiang Zhou once again put a chess piece in the wrong place, and then as expected, he was beaten to death on the chessboard by Jiang Xuan within three moves.

Before Jiang Zhou roared again, Leng Xiangbai put a cup of tea next to his mouth and whispered, "Don't shout. We'd rather lose the battle than the fight. It makes us look petty and can't afford to lose."

Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes at him, as if to say: If you lose three games in a row, how can you still be so calm...

Leng Xiangbai is quite self-aware and knows his own limitations.

He was the best at playing the piano among all his fellow apprentices. He was no match for Jiang Zhou in chess, let alone Jiang Xuan who had tortured Jiang Zhou so terribly.

Perhaps among his fellow disciples, only Zhu Shijing, who learned the best chess from his own master, could compete with Mr. Jiang Sanye.

Jiang Xuan picked up the cup of tea beside him, took a sip, and saw An Xin glanced at him.

He knew when to quit and was very considerate of Jiang Zhou. He let Jiang Zhou win two games in a row without making a fuss, which calmed the young man's impetuous mood.

Only then did he see him looking with relaxed brows at the woman who had already closed her eyes to rest.

The fair face and delicate facial features are beautiful when viewed individually, but seem ordinary when put together.

Only those who truly understand her can see her beauty.

Leng Xiangbai's deep and indifferent eyes flickered and he looked at the scenery outside the car window, because he knew that some things were beyond their control.

No one knew better than them what a strong-willed person their little headmaster was.

If she didn't want Jiang Xuan to stay and accompany her to Beiming to attend the coronation ceremony, no one could force her.

Since Jiang Xuan has not been driven away until now, it is obvious that he has been allowed to follow by his own headmaster.

…

More than twenty days later.

When An Xin's group passed through northern Ji, General Gao, who was of a rough character, could not help but look towards the border town with anticipation, wondering if he could see the son whom he had not seen for several years.

For the sake of his future and family, he and General Yuchi's family sent their son to the border.

With the help of his teacher, the boy from the Yuchi family and his son became the powerful generals as they wished.

Becoming a leader also means having heavier responsibilities and no longer being able to go home to meet family members at will.

Sometimes he and General Yuchi also envied the old man Chen Gang, whose son was promoted by the new emperor to become the commander of the imperial guards.

Although his rank is not as high as their son's, he is always guarding the emperor. Who can look down on him?

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, his son was as brave as himself but lacked intelligence, so he was not suitable to serve by the side of the Heavenly Family.

The kid from General Yuchi's family is quite good, but he is the heir to a first-rank general's family, and the path he will take was determined at birth.

When General Chen and General Gao entered the city, they saw rows of sturdy border town generals standing on the city wall, as well as patrolling soldiers who looked energetic just by looking at them passing by.

The team entered the border town, which was not as prosperous as the cities inside the Great Wall.

But the past few years have been relatively peaceful and there have been no wars, so there are still many pedestrians on the streets. The hawkers on both sides of the street shout loudly, and there is a constant flow of traffic.

The two generals' hearts were boiling with excitement, and they looked at An Xin who was sitting in the car with gratitude.

In recent years, with the assistance of the new emperor Kong Xun and a group of ministers including An Xin and Li Ziyu, Daqian's economy has gradually prospered and the army has been well supplied.

If she hadn't been in charge, how could Daqian be so prosperous today and have such spirited and powerful generals and soldiers?

An Xin noticed that General Gao was looking at him from time to time, and he couldn't help but smile faintly. He looked at the setting sun in the sky, and gave the order to stay in the border town today and go to Beiming tomorrow.

Upon receiving the notice, Yuchi Yi hurried back from the training ground, intercepted An Xin and his group who were about to go to the post station to rest, and personally drove An Xin's horse to the general's mansion guarding the border where he occasionally returned to live.

An Xin was asked to get off the carriage, and was shocked by the general's mansion in front of him.

There are two huge lions guarding the gate, a tall gate tower and a huge mansion, which is composed of three courtyards with multiple entrances with strict central axis symmetry.

The layout is neat and orderly, with pavilions, towers, eaves and green tiles, intertwined and winding, exquisite and elegant yet majestic.

An Xin saw that the pavilions and towers designed in the mansion, as well as the precious flowers, plants and trees that had been transplanted, had lost their original brilliance and become dull because no one had taken good care of them.

I knew that this was the general's mansion that was rebuilt for the pleasure of Ma Boteng, the man who embezzled military funds.

Now that he has been ignored like this, I wonder if General Ma, who has been beheaded, will come to settle the score with his student.
