After hearing what the red-faced officer said, the others also sighed.
"Okay, you two, stop talking." The yellow-faced officer stopped the two of them with a vigilant expression, "The emperor's affairs are not ours to discuss."
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I just want to complain a little when I think about having to die on the battlefield just after a few clean days." The red-faced officer said with a depressed look.
The group of officers hurriedly drank a pot of tea, got up, and left with the soldiers resting by the roadside.
Yun Jingchu and Yun Jingxi exchanged glances tacitly, then got up and continued on their way.
Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after a long and dusty journey to Lanxi City, they finally arrived at the place where Dongfangxu's army was stationed.
Outside the city gate.
Yun Jingchu strode towards the young general guarding the city, took out the gold medal representing King Xu's identity, and said, "Please inform King Xu that his old friend has come to see him."
The young general looked at the gold medal, his eyes slowly widened, and it took him a long time to regain his consciousness. He looked at Yun Jingchu respectfully: "Please wait a moment, I will have someone report it right now."
Yun Jingchu smiled and nodded, then leaned against the city wall with Yun Jingxi and others to wait.
After about a cup of tea, I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the city, and then I heard everyone saluting.
"Where is the person who came to see me?" Soon, along with a horse's neigh, Dongfang Xu's voice came.
Yun Jingchu smiled slightly, straightened up from the city wall, and waved to Dongfang Xu: "Long time no see, His Highness King Xu."
Dongfang Xu looked at Yun Jingchu following the voice, with surprise in his eyes. However, when he saw Yun Jingchu's unshaven face, he frowned in confusion: "Yun..."
"Yes, it's me." Yun Jingchu raised his hand and shook the gold medal in his hand.
A flash of surprise flashed in Dongfang Xu's eyes, and he jumped off his horse neatly. Then the guard guard looked at the prince in surprise, who had always been aloof, and his face remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. He ran towards Yun Jingchu and others with excitement on his face...
Dongfang Xu held Yun Jingchu's shoulders and said excitedly: "You are here. I heard the news that you were imprisoned in the sky prison and then escaped. The court is looking for you. I was worried, but I didn't expect you to arrive."
"Well, it's okay." Yun Jingchu smiled slightly and said, "Dongfang Chen is personally on the expedition, and I'll help you."
"Okay, okay. Come, hurry into the city. You must be tired along the way. I will arrange for someone to pick you up and wash away the dust for you." Dongfang Xu looked excited, holding Yun Jingchu's hand, preparing to take her in
city.
"There is no need to be so public. My coming must be kept secret." Yun Jingchu said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then I'll hold a dust-cleaning banquet for you alone." Dongfang Xu nodded, finished speaking quickly, and turned to the soldiers at the city gate, "Come here, hurry up and prepare horses for this king's distinguished guests."
"...Yes." Hearing Dongfang Xu's voice, the soldiers who were in a daze quickly came to their senses and ran to prepare their horses.
Soon, the prepared horses were fetched by the soldiers. Yun Jingchu and others got on the horses and followed Dongfang Xu towards the city.
After entering the city, Dongfang Xu asked people to place Yun Jingchu and others in the courtyard adjacent to him, and then secretly asked people to prepare wine and food.
Because of Yun Jingchu's wishes, Dongfang Xu did not explain the identity of Yun Jingchu and his party to anyone, but just asked his subordinates to serve them carefully.
