From the Imperial City to Shengle, they walked for a full month, and encountered two robbers in the process. Naturally, they ended up easily.
At night, the fire in front of the tent was burning with blazing flames, and Bai Ling was making fish soup aside.
Jiang Shiyilang took out the map, pointed at a red dot and said, "The next stop is Shengle, the junction of the two countries."
The Xiling and Daqi people live together there, and once the station is opened, it is the first place to be trampled.
Shen Xingwan stretched out his hand and warmed it on the fire. The weather was too cold and mist came out of his mouth. "We can't go directly. If the other party has an ambush, then we will be right at their door."
Qi Han traveled thousands of miles to get her to Xiling, and he would definitely not let her go easily.
They encountered no ambush or pursuers along the way. Shengle was the last chance, and there must be a big wave waiting for them.
Jiang Shiyilang lowered his head and calculated, "The prince's army should not arrive so soon. We must find a place to stay in the ice and snow first."
Linghu raised his head and said, "After walking for a long time, there is an inn not far from here. The proprietress has a very strong background, so she dares to open an inn in such a chaotic area."
Jiang Shiyilang hesitated, "Since it is the only inn nearby, the target is still too obvious."
Shen Xingwan flicked the fire in the fire with a branch, "If there is a plan in Shengle, then maybe our traces have been grasped, and then it doesn't matter where we live."
After all, if they want to return to Daqi, they must take this road, there is no way around it.
"We are not that easy to deal with." Lan Die said.
After eating and resting for the night, they set off towards the inn, and walked through the wind and snow for a long time before finally seeing the inn.
There are few people within a hundred miles, but the inn is bustling with activity.
They knocked on the door, and soon a waiter came out to open the door. Looking at the large group of them, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Guest officer, please come in."
Shen Xingwan didn't even put on much disguise. A group of them attracted everyone's attention as soon as they walked in.
The bearded businessman said loudly, "I haven't seen such a beautiful girl in a long time."
"It doesn't look like someone from Xiling."
Although they were talking about them, no one dared to come forward. After all, everyone had weapons in their hands, and they were not easy to mess with at first sight.
These people who live in chaotic areas are the most discerning and the best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Their people were all looking around vigilantly. Even after the food and drinks were served, Shen Xingwan first used a silver needle to test for poison, then put a little of various vegetables in a small bowl and threw it in front of Fat Cat, "Eat."
He openly tested the poison on Fat Cat, and Little Bell made Fat Cat fat and said, "Sister, this is not good."
Shen Xingwan glanced at the proud Fat Meow and said, "Don't worry, he will be fine because of his special physique."
Shen Xingwan pulled him over: Fei Miao, the mission is about to be completed. If I die here, you will suffer a big loss.
The fat cat wagged its tail, "I'm not useless at all."
Then I ate hard, and I was still jumping up and down after eating.
Shen Xingwan then raised his chopsticks and said, "Eat."
It's too cold in winter, so drinking a glass of soju to warm your body is a good choice.
Bai Ling poured wine for Shen Xingwan, and she noticed the words "Floating Life" written on the bottle.
Probably because she had been looking at it for too long, Lan Die asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Is this inn called Fu Sheng Ji?"
Landie nodded, and Shen Xingwan looked a little nostalgic, "I used to open a tavern in Jiangnan called Fushengruomeng."
Those were the calmest years for her. Her family was wealthy, and she lived in the south of the Yangtze River where the seasons were like spring. She played with cats and painted every day, and went out to play with her little sisters.
When I think of the Shen family, I naturally think of Shen Xiaoguo. According to the progress of the plot, he should have reached the rank of deputy general.
After dinner, Shen Xingwan specially called Lan Die to the room. She handed a written letter to Lan Die, "Can you find a way to send it to the military camp where Daqi is stationed in Shengle?"
Because the relationship between Xiling and Daqi has not been good before, both sides have troops stationed on the border.
If she remembered correctly, according to the plot in the original book, Shen Xiaoguo became famous after the battle broke out between Xiling and Daqi.
Of course, the plot has been ruined by her now, but Shen Xiaoguo joined the army very early and has basically nothing to do with the plot.
Shen Xingwan has been secretly paying attention to him in the past few years. He was not promoted as fast as in the plot, but he was promoted to the position of deputy general with his outstanding ability and diligence.
Now that he is here, Shen Xingwan naturally wants to see him.
Landie lowered her head and thought for a while, "I'll go there myself."
A large group of people is too big a target. If she travels independently, she is sure that she can avoid all the spies.
Jiang Sui handed her a letter and earrings, "See if you can deliver it to him. If it's dangerous, forget it."
"Yes." Landie stepped back.
Arriving in a strange place, Shen Xingwan felt sleepy. Bai Ling brought her a plate of beef jerky, and she took one to tease Fat Meow.
Shen Xingwan: Do you think he will come to see me?
Fat Meow caught the beef jerky in one bite: Hasn’t he always liked you?
Shen Xingwan smiled bitterly: In a sense, I destroyed the Shen family with my own hands.
Although it was the Shen family that felt sorry for her, they were Shen Xiaoguo's parents and brother after all.
And now they are on opposite sides, and Shen Xiaoguo is still a general of the imperial court.
This time Fu Jingchao led his troops over, and if he didn't handle it well, a war would probably break out with the imperial troops stationed here.
This is also the reason why Shen Xingwan wants to see him. She wants to know what he thinks.
Among the entire Shen family, she still had some feelings for him.
Shen Xingwan stayed up late because he thought about the past, and it was quite lively outside in the middle of the night.
Jiang Shiyi led people directly to her room, "Is everything okay?"
Shen Xingwan shook his head, the sound of fighting outside became more and more intense.
Shen Xingwan opened the window and saw two waves of people fighting together under the moonlight.
Jiang Shiyilang shook the fan in his hand, "It looks like the martial arts method is from Xiling."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you're not here for us?"
"Who knows..." Jiang Shiyilang said.
Even if it is directed at them, the other party will not attack immediately because they do not understand their strength.
It is estimated that both sides will test it out first.
"You have a younger brother in the military camp, right?" Jiang Shiyilang asked.
"Yeah." Shen Xingwan said softly.
"You'd better convince him to side with you. This will be more beneficial to us." Jiang Shiyilang said.
Shen Xingwan knew what he was worried about. If Qi Han's people united with the troops stationed here in Xiling to deal with them, they would be in big trouble.
"Qi Han's hand shouldn't be able to stretch out this long, right?" Shen Xingwan said.
The fight didn't end until midnight, and Landie also took advantage of the chaos to sneak out.
