On the official road from Xijing to Wangxin Town, hundreds of fast horses galloped past. The two leaders were dressed in black robes and looked very serious.

These two people were Commander Bai Mengbai who was ordered to pick up Shen Haolin and his party in Wangxin Town, and the eldest princess Song Jinyu who insisted on joining in the fun.

"Are you okay?" Bai Meng tilted his head and glanced at Song Jinyu, a little worried, "Do you want to take a rest?"

"No need, I can still persist." Song Jinyu shook her head, "How long until we can reach Wangxin Town?"

"At this rate, we'll be here in half an hour." Under the faint moonlight, Bai Meng saw Song Jinyu's pale face and couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you doing this? Just wait in the palace obediently." Is that okay? You have to come out with me and suffer this."

"I don't think this is a punishment. Isn't it nice to have such an experience with you?"

Song Jinyu smiled at Bai Meng and wanted to say something more, but she choked unexpectedly and coughed several times before she recovered.

"Don't talk to the wind. If you are sick, I can't communicate with His Majesty." Bai Meng sighed, "I don't know what Song Jue is thinking, but he actually agreed to your nonsense. Under normal circumstances, Shouldn't he refuse your request?"

"Because he has to go to court tomorrow morning, he has no way to follow you, so he has no choice but to agree to my request. Otherwise, the one traveling with you now will be my dear royal brother."

"You two brothers and sisters have been messing around all day long. The strangest thing is that the Queen Mother will actually stand by you two this time."

"We are not messing around. This time, we are going to do serious things. Queen Mother knows this, so she will fully support us." Song Jinyu coughed twice, "Besides, Qiyun is back this time, and we are all very happy."

"It's good to come back. This time I will catch up with the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, so I can fulfill his filial piety. When the war breaks out, I might not be able to see him for several years."

"That's right." Song Jinyu suppressed the smile on her face, "Commander, do you still remember Magistrate Niu of Wangxin Town?"

"deep impression."

Seeing that Song Jinyu still looked uncomfortable, Bai Meng raised his arm and made a gesture, ordering the team to slow down, and then found a suitable place for the whole team to stop and rest.

He helped Song Jinyu dismount, handed the two horses to his entourage, and the two of them found a clean place to sit on the ground.

"So, Song Jue is planning to take action? He is quite vindictive." Handing the water bag he brought to Song Jinyu, Bai Meng sighed, "What is he planning to do? Wangxin Town is too important. If you want to replace Magistrate Niu, you must find someone who can convince the public."

"Brother Huang will have to discuss with the Duke of Guo, Xiaocha and you about who to replace. He will definitely not make the decision so easily. Don't worry about this." Song Jinyu took a sip of water and returned the water bag. To Bai Meng, "Besides, Brother Huang doesn't hold grudges. He is not the kind of narrow-minded person."

"You are not a petty person. If you are so squeezed by that Niu County Magistrate, you will have to hold a grudge. Let alone Song Jue. It is very normal for him to want revenge." Bai Meng also took a sip of water, "Niu County Magistrate needs to know that he is If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you should regret what you did at that time."

"Speaking of which, I don't quite understand what happened that day. Why did we get into such a quarrel after everything was going well?" Song Jinyu yawned. She felt a little tired, so she rested her head on Bai Meng's shoulder. "I fell asleep all night.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. Later, I asked Brother Huang, and he just said in an understatement that there was just a small conflict."

"He's right. It's indeed a small conflict. If Magistrate Niu hadn't said those words in front of Song Jue, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much of a problem. Most people wouldn't care about it. They'd just ignore it if they've heard of it. They'd just laugh it off.

He would take it seriously. But the problem is that when he said this in front of Song Jue, he seemed to be overshadowing his master. He said that the peace in Xijing was due to his efforts to guard it for so many years. Between his words, it seemed that

Without him, Xijing City would have been in danger long ago, and it would have been as if His Majesty had ceased to exist. Song Jue responded to him at that time, and Wangxin Town was peaceful. This was all due to the efforts of the commanders at the border. Without them to resist the foreigners, it would have been just Wangxin Town.

Keeping the eight thousand defenders in check will have no effect whatsoever."

"The two of them just started arguing like that?"

"Yes! That Magistrate Niu came from the Shen family army, but he slandered the reputation of the Shen family army in words and deeds. This is the most intolerable thing."

"If you are looking for death, don't blame the emperor for wanting to deal with him." Song Jinyu frowned slightly, "However, I felt that something was wrong with this county magistrate from the beginning. Commander, do you feel this way?"

"It is indeed very strange. We all find it very strange. When he took office as the county magistrate, His Majesty was still a prince, but he met him several times with the late emperor. Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, because Wangxin Town is located in

The position is very important, His Majesty attaches great importance to it, and made an exception to declare him to be a saint in the palace."

"However, this time when we came back from the border and passed through Wangxin Town, he actually didn't recognize the emperor brother and really regarded him as your bodyguard, the commander-in-chief. This is not unexplainable. He didn't see it clearly at the beginning.

It’s understandable that I don’t have much impression of the emperor’s brother.” Song Jinyu shook her head, “Besides the fact that the commander-in-chief said he was from the Shen family army but slandered the Shen family army, there is another thing that puzzled me. He was originally a member of the Shen family.

He had to retire from the battlefield because he injured his leg, and he had passed the imperial examination before joining the army. The old Duke and the old Marquis recommended him to come to Wangxin Town to be the county magistrate. However, I learned a little from him.

I didn’t feel Shen Jiajun’s temperament, nor did I even feel that he was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles.”

"Yes, he actually has a Jianghu aura about him."

"Yes, that's what I meant, but I can't tell what kind of aura he has on him." Song Jinyu nodded, "But I told Brother Huang about my concerns, but I didn't expect that I was not unfounded. Brother Huang thought.

Same as me."

"When we met for the first time, I felt that Magistrate Niu didn't have the murderous aura that a war warrior should have." Bai Meng gently raised the corners of his lips, "But the man who once entered the palace to meet the Holy Saint

There is indeed a Niu County Magistrate, so it is still hard to say whether this person is Niu County Magistrate. If not, then whether the real Niu County Magistrate is alive or dead is also a big question.

"

"Also, if it's false, how long has he been replacing Magistrate Niu? Why don't we know about it all the time? What role did Meng County Cheng next to him play in this?"

"It seems that we have quite a lot of problems to solve during our trip to Wangxin Town!" Bai Meng looked at Song Jinyu, who was leaning on his shoulder with his eyes closed, "What do you think, the Duke and the General
