It snowed for the first time this year in Fuli City.

As the most important main city among the dozen cities on the northeastern border of Dakui, the first city that Bai Tanshen recovered from the Xiyi people was Fuli City. The Xiyi people naturally knew the weight of this city and it was extremely heavily guarded.

, fully 30,000 soldiers were stationed here, and the two sides fought fiercely for several days before Bai Tanshen led the soldiers with their guns to break through the city.

It was also during the battle of Fuli City that Bai Tanshen killed the enemy's general's son with a single shot and nailed him to a mountain of corpses. This made the Xiyi people furious, and they have not let go of the alliance to this day.

The soldiers on the city wall wore long swords at their waists, the city gates were wide open, and several men wearing Western costumes laughed heartily below.

"I heard that there is a new decree coming from the Imperial City, and I don't know how the Holy One plans to deal with our general." A soldier said worriedly.

The person standing next to him said: "Isn't that right? The general disobeyed the imperial edict once and twice, but it only happened three times. This time the edict is issued, and it is no longer possible for the general to disobey it. If he disobeys it, his family may be affected."

There was silence for a moment.

"But the Xiyi people still occupy two cities, and the problem in Fuli City has not been resolved yet. Who knew that a young general killed by the general was actually the little prince of the Xiyi royal family who never showed his face. This was the first time that the young prince

When we went on an expedition, we thought that there would be no generals guarding these cities, and we would be able to capture them with military exploits, but we met our general! He didn’t even get a chance to meet him, and he directly became a dead soul under the sword. According to the grudge-holding temperament of the Xiyi people, he decided to

I won’t let the general go.”

"It would be fine if there were only Xiyi people, but now that the Holy One has no intention of regaining this place and wants to punish the general, the situation is even more complicated."

"...Wait! Look at that!"

"It looks like the general is going to send troops again!"

…

People in Kyoto are panicked.

For no other reason than because His Majesty issued an order this morning to imprison Bai Tanshen on the spot until Xi Yi and Da Kui form an alliance before he can be released!

As soon as this news came out, the government and the public were in turmoil.

Who doesn't know that the Xiyi people hate Bai Tan to the core? He has been a general for more than ten years, and countless Xiyi people have died in his hands. The Xiyi people are vicious, and Bai Tanshen will definitely be tortured in every way in prison!

However, when officials interceded for him, Xie Xingyun readily accepted the order, invited himself to Fuli City to declare the order, and led the envoys to negotiate.

Emperor Wu Xuan was anxious about the delay in achieving the alliance, so he agreed on the spot and ordered Xie Xingyun to set off immediately to make sure to promote the alliance to avoid long nights and dreams.

For a time, Xie Xingyun became the target of public criticism. Many literati wrote and cursed, and some even threw eggs at the Xie family's carriage in the street.

Xiao Zheng opened a corner of the curtain and took a look. The busy city was crowded with people and the crowd was excited. "Sir, the emperor has always been wary of you. If you leave like this, I don't know when you will come back. If you come back again, I'm afraid the power will be dispersed."

.”

Xie Xingyun put his hands on his knees and sat down with a bow, his brows furrowed and he didn't know if he heard him, "When you leave the city later, you will go directly to Nanzhao by water. Be sure to bring your things with you."

"Yes." Xiao Zheng paused for a long time, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has also made arrangements."

"Well, is there any news from the Imperial Prefecture?"

"Nothing."

Xie Xingyun rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyelids slightly, "Leave half of the people here to prevent the imperial master from returning to the capital."

Xiao Zheng nodded without knowing why.

"I don't know what the emperor is thinking. It is clear that the order you requested, sir, is to pardon General Bai for his crime of disobeying the order. The emperor also agreed. It only took more than a day, why did he suddenly change his mind? As expected, Bianjun is like this.

Accompany the tiger."

The uneasiness of last night was magnified to the extreme at this moment. Xie Xingyun suddenly stiffened and said, "No more."

Xiao Zhengdao: "No one is left to prevent the Imperial Master from coming back?"

"She won't come back." Xie Xingyun clenched the brocade bag at his waist tightly. The air around him seemed to be sucked out. His heart suddenly shrank and he whispered: "I should have thought of it earlier. She has already arranged it."

Her brother's retreat will never give up on Bai Tanshen."

The three-day period, like smallpox, is just a means of delaying time.

But she only forgot to leave a way out for herself.

The battle ahead was dangerous, how could a weak woman like her be able to rescue Bai Tanshen!

Even if she could be saved, the price she would pay would never be small.

Thinking of the heinous torture methods used by the Xiyi people on the beautiful women who fell into their hands, Xie Xingyun's face turned pale, as if falling from an ice cellar, "Prepare a fast horse, now."

Xiao Zheng said "Ah", "Sir, it's still a long time before we get to the city gate. You can't ride horses in the street in this area..."

Unexpectedly, Xie Xingyun directly grabbed his collar, the veins on the back of his hands arched, he lost his composure for the first time, and growled: "I'll let you prepare your horse, now!"

Except for the Bai family fire three years ago, Xiao Zheng had never seen the young master described like this before. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded solemnly and immediately sent someone to fetch a thousand-mile horse.

Xie Xingyun rode on his horse, leaving the accompanying carriages and courtiers behind, and went straight out of the city.
