The crisis in the capital was temporarily resolved. Qiao Tianjing specifically instructed Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi to stay and help Qiao Zhongguo.

There are not so many things to pay attention to when you go out.

Those who are thoughtful can set up a pot and cook something to eat, while those who are more convenient can just eat some dry food to fill their stomachs.

However, the Second Prince, Princess Nanning, and the Third Prince of Nanli Kingdom are all of noble status, so naturally they still need to be served with care.

Meng Guxue looked at the delicious, hot meals that were delivered to the carriage, but she had no appetite at all.

Just now, the Qiao family and the second prince received letters from the capital, and the Qiao family even received two!

It looks like something may have happened in the capital?

Meng Guxue was uneasy for a while, but still whispered to Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, go and ask Master Qiao to come over, and tell him that I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Tao nodded quickly, slipped out of the carriage swiftly, and found where the Qiao family was.

"Master Qiao, my little...my princess invites you."

Qiao Zhongguo was eating a big pancake with water. He nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay."

Xiao Tao led Qiao Zhongguo to the wedding car in a hurry. Baili Chengyou saw this scene from afar and snorted indifferently:

"She trusts Qiao Zhongguo very much and calls people over at the slightest sign of trouble."

Ah Tu frowned with some worry, "Your Highness, we are about to leave the border of Yong State."

The Yong State and the Nanli State also fought a war. Later, the two sides could not agree on the outcome, so they each took a step back, leaving a no-man's land between the two countries as a buffer zone.

Over the years, the lawless area has been given another name, Baopilingling.

Because there were rampant bandits there, merchants passing by would always be skinned by the bandits if they did not hire strong thugs or escort agencies.

Merchants doing business between the two countries suffered terribly, but neither the Nanli Kingdom nor the Yong Dynasty could easily send people to set foot in this buffer zone.

It was also because of this that those bandits were allowed to grow bigger and stronger and make a name for themselves!

It is said that there are three hills on Nabaling, namely Liu, Lu and Qi. Among them, Lu has the greatest power, Qi is second, and Liu is slightly weaker.

If Shen Yuanbai wants to play tricks, the forces in Baopiling are complicated and it is perfect for him to fish in troubled waters. We have to be on guard!

Baili Chengyou straightened his face when he heard this, "I have already sent a message to A'er. According to the plan, they should join us tomorrow."

A'er is another capable assistant of Baili Chengyou who stayed in Nanli Kingdom.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already walked to the wedding car.

"Your Highness pays respect to Princess Nanning."

In order to avoid suspicion, Meng Guxue did not get out of the car, nor did she lift the curtain. She leaned over the wall of the car and whispered:

"Master Qiao, there is no need to be so polite."

Xiao Tao was smart and immediately asked the guards and maids who were guarding the surroundings to go away.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo asked, "I wonder why the princess called me?"

Meng Guxue looked worried, "Master Qiao, I don't mean to pry into your privacy. If it's convenient, could you tell me what happened to the continuous messages coming from the capital?"

Compared to the beginning when he rushed around like a young man with an arrogant attitude that he was the only one special in the world, Meng Guxue has really restrained himself a lot now.

Even Meng Guxue herself couldn't tell whether she had become a coward or was slowly assimilated by this era.

She suppressed her former arrogance and was now cautious and only wanted to save her life.

When Qiao Zhongguo heard Meng Guxue's question, he thought about it for a moment and said frankly without hiding anything:

"Princess, something serious did happen in the capital. Zhufeng plotted to assassinate Dalang, but Dalang counterattacked and he ended up burning himself to death."

"What!?"

Meng Guxue's voice suddenly rose, but in the next moment she covered it tightly.

After a long while, she spoke again, her voice low, "Zhu Feng is dead?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "Yes."

"It's over! It's over!" Meng Guxue shook her head repeatedly.

Qiao Zhongguo frowned when he heard this, "Why do you say that, Princess?"

Meng Guxue knew that she could only rely on Qiao Zhongguo now, so she didn't dare to hide anything and said directly:

"Master Qiao, you don't know that Zhu Feng is really important to the Second Prince! He can even be said to be the most important person to him!"

In the dream, she was the person the Second Prince valued and cherished the most, and the second one was Zhufeng!

Now that she is nothing in the eyes of the second prince, Zhufeng naturally becomes the first in line.

"Master Qiao, you believe me, really!"

"That Uncle Zhou! Uncle Zhou, do you know him? Uncle Zhou raised the Second Prince from childhood to adulthood, but in the Second Prince's heart, even he is not as good as Zhu Feng!"

"Because although Zhou Bo is sincere to the Second Prince, his heart is with the Northern Kingdom. He has selfish motives. He hopes that the Second Prince will rule the world, but he also hopes that the Second Prince will focus on the Northern Kingdom."

"Zhu Feng is different. He has no distracting thoughts or selfish desires. He is completely and wholeheartedly devoted to the Second Prince. Even if he is asked to die for the Second Prince, he will not hesitate at all!"

"People's hearts are exchanged for people's hearts, so in the Second Prince's heart, Zhu Feng really has a very important place!"

"Now that Zhu Feng has been killed by Qiao's Dalang, he must be going crazy! He will definitely take action!"

Meng Guxue talked a lot without stopping, not caring whether Qiao Zhongguo would doubt why she knew so much about the people around the second prince.

Qiao Zhongguo's face changed slightly when he heard this. He had repeatedly overestimated Zhufeng's position in the Second Prince's heart, but he never expected that such a cold-hearted man would have such a sentimental side.

It seems that he has to reassess the situation.

"Princess, we will enter the no-man's land around tomorrow afternoon."

"What is the no-man's land?" Meng Guxue looked up worriedly.

Qiao Zhongguo explained in a low voice, and continued: "If I were to take action, I would choose Baopiling and choose it at night."

When Meng Guxue heard the word "skinning", she couldn't help but shudder!

"Then...then..."

Qiao Zhongguo looked calm and spoke in a steady voice, "Princess, don't panic. Since I promised to protect you, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Qiao Zhongguo guessed that among the secrets that Meng Guxue knew might be the mystery of the second prince's life experience.

The Qiao family and the prince already had a proper plan for dealing with this matter. What he wanted to know now was about the young assassin.

Since Meng Guxue was so close to the second prince in the dream, would she know the details of the assassins and where they were hiding?

As long as there is this possibility, it is enough for Qiao Zhongguo to take the gamble!

He would never allow the northern bandits to continue to harm and abuse the children of the Yong Dynasty on their Yong Dynasty land!

"Princess, starting tonight, you will eat dry food with our Qiao family."

Meng Guxue was stunned at first when she heard this, and then her expression changed drastically when she looked at the food not far away.

"Master Qiao, you...you mean, the food is poisonous?"
