She knew it would be a difficult road, but she had no choice.
In her previous life, Mobei was destroyed in her hands. In this life, she will try her best to protect her people and her country.
...
Xiao Chengyi and others traveled quickly for a day and finally arrived at Yunzhou City.
They passed two cities on this day, but when they passed the first city, there was no news of Hu Yanqiu, and there was no letter from him in the government office.
In other words, they have never been to that city at all.
Fortunately, there were traces of Hu Yanqiu and others in Yunzhou City. Xiao Chengyi took the letter Mu Yunan left for him and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Ye Xiuchen said depressedly: "It seems that they did take a shortcut. We are chasing them but we are always one step behind them."
Logically speaking, their carriages must not be as fast as their horses, but they just couldn't catch up.
Obviously the road they took was a shortcut, and the distance was shortened a lot, so they couldn't catch up.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Yan Yan said they will not go to Changzhou, which means they have another way to return to Mobei."
Ye Xiuchen frowned and said, "This is not far from Changzhou. It seems that we really have to chase them to Mobei before we can see them."
Xiao Chengyi had already made such a plan. He glanced at the setting sun and felt a little impetuous.
It had only been a few days. He and Yan Yan had not been separated for too long, and every day was like a year to him.
And he didn't know how long he would have to wait to see her.
"Your Majesty."
Meng Tonghui, the prefect of Yunzhou City, cupped his hands towards Xiao Chengyi and said, "The food has been prepared in the house. I would like to ask the prince to show his favor to you."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at the man named Meng and said: "No need, I will set off tomorrow, so I won't bother Mr. Meng."
This man surnamed Meng wanted to take them to his house, but at first glance he didn't have any good intentions.
Xiao Chengyi didn't want to get involved with such a person, so he rejected Meng Tonghui and took the people to the inn to stay.
But despite this, the man surnamed Meng is still there, and the meal sent to the inn is a sumptuous one.
Ye Xiuchen looked at the table full of dishes and said, "I think it is necessary for the Supervising Censor to investigate the prefect named Meng."
Last night they stayed at Magistrate Chen's government office. The man was sensible and said he didn't want to be disturbed, but he didn't come. The meals he brought met the specifications.
It's not as big as the one in front of you, it's clearly meant to please.
Xiao Chengyi stared at the things on the table and said, "We should check it carefully." After that, he said to everyone: "Don't waste it, eat it quickly."
Everyone was rude. They were traveling non-stop and could only have a few good bites of this meal.
After finishing their meal, everyone went back to rest under the moonlight.
Xiao Chengyi finally went back. When he opened the door, he smelled a faint fragrance, like a woman's powder.
He glanced around the room with a frown, and saw a woman lying on the bed.
The man was wearing a veil that could not be covered.
Seeing Xiao Chengyi come in, she slowly stood up and saluted, and said in a soft voice: "My maid, Meng Hongshuang, has met the prince."
