The peace talks were on the road very fast, and they took a break at noon and stopped at Guanyi until dusk.

Gala and Hua Shang were arranged in a room. Because they were exposed to the emperor's light, the inside was particularly neat. The young general named Chen was named Chen Guang, and it was said that she was responsible for her safety along the way. She lived next door to facilitate her care nearby.

This time, his attitude became much more kind, and he specially ordered people to prepare hot water to bathe Gala.

The carriage was bumpy for several days and the bones were almost disintegrating. Gala soaked in hot water for nearly half an hour and felt relieved, so he wiped his clothes clean. Hua Shang knew that she had a bad appetite after the bumpyness, so she didn't use dinner much, so she had already bought a few candied fruits outside and came back.

Gala was delighted when he saw it, and picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. It was sweet and delicious.

It was already night, but the room felt a little stuffy. After Gala's bath, he opened the window and looked out. The attic opposite was brightly lit, and there were all high-quality guest rooms, with Yang Jian and the officials accompanying him. At this time, a faint voice of dispute came, and the guards accompanying him were guarding outside the door and were not allowed to approach him.

Hua Shang said: "I just heard them arguing when I went out, but it hasn't stopped yet. Girl, don't stand in the wind, beware of the cold and the road is uncomfortable."

Galo closed the window as he said, "The Supreme Emperor ascended the throne in a hurry. The emperor has been away from the government affairs in Huainan for many years. The people in the court have different hearts. The foundation of Jianzhang Palace is unstable and it is natural to be difficult to convince the public. Hua Shang, I thought about this peace talks in the car today, but I was really unsure. Let's not talk about why Xiao Cong asked me to go over. Just say what would they arrange if they agreed?"

"After the discussion is made, our old man can come back." When talking about this, Hua Shang's eyebrows became even more sad.

The two countries are discussing peace, but Xiao Cong insists on asking a little girl like Gala to go there. What is the matter? If Gala can escape unscathed. What should she do if she is taken away by Xiliang? Or if the two sides cannot reach a fight, wouldn’t her family be dangerous?

Gala shook his head and whispered: "If the old man comes back, can the Supreme Emperor come back too? There are probably many of these officials looking forward to his return, but will the emperor be willing? I don't know what the outcome will be like for this peace talks. At that time, the situation of my father and father will be even more difficult to say."

"No wonder!" Hua Shang suddenly murmured.

"What?"

"When I went out just now, I met someone. I looked like my official position was not low. I asked me if the girl and Prince Xiao Cong knew each other. I didn't dare to say that, so I made excuses."

"Who is it?"

Hua Shang described his appearance and also mentioned the clothes she wore. She was a meticulous person, and the matter was related to Gala, so she was naturally very careful. Not only did she remember her appearance, but she even remembered the subtle decorations and clothes patterns on her body.

Gala pondered for a moment and said, "Looking at the patterns of clothes and waist accessories, I must be from Honglu Temple. We don't know the details yet, so anyone who asks me in the future will have to evade you."

Hua Shang answered her order. Seeing that it was getting late, she had to get up early tomorrow, so she went to bed with Gala earlier.

The next day I was still rushing.

Yang Jian was very busy. During the lunch break, there was a Pegasus coming to report the news and asked him to deal with the matter.

Even though Gala had countless doubts, she didn't dare to provoke him at the moment. She silently finished her meal. When she was about to return to the car, she met the man described by Hua Shang yesterday. He was less than forty years old and looked quite gentle. When he saw Gala, he didn't show off his airs and just said, "Is this Miss Dugu?"

Gala was surprised.

Since her departure, Yang Jian has been wearing a veil and rarely reveals her true face, and never shows her identity. How could the person in front of her recognize her even if he could occasionally glimpse her face?

She was suspicious and bowed, and she was sure that she should be.

The man said, "In the past, I met Lingzun and had frequent contacts. The old man from Zun's house also met a girl when he was on his birthday. I don't expect that in a few years, the girl was so old. The carriage was bumpy, but the girl was still used to it?"

"Thank you for your care, I'm used to everything." Gala replied with a smile. Because he had no impression of this person, he did not dare to believe it immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone coughing behind him, and then he saw the Emperor Zhan Shi Han Qinhu coming over.

"Your Highness ordered to set off later, Chen Guang - please Miss Dugu get on the bus." Han Qinhu interrupted the two without hesitation, made a call to the man, and each returned to the team to prepare to set off.

Gala walked away, suspicious, and said to Chen Guang: "Please bother General Chen, who was that person just now? Looking at Lord Han, he seemed to be unwilling to let me talk to others more." After that, he pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was mocking himself.

"That is the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Pei Ju. His Highness has ordered that peace talks are of great importance and no matter what happens."

"Thank you."

Jialu, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, had a little impression. Previously, during the Chinese New Year, she returned to the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. One day, she was talking to her father, and suddenly someone came to visit him outside. It was this person.

My father said that Pei Ju is the favorite student of Dugu Xin Xu Gongwang today. He is sleek and very good at flattering. Jialuo's father and Xu Gongwang were both people who helped Emperor Jing win the throne in those days. They relied on their kindness to be the prime minister. He only sought honor and not power, and lived in harmony with Xu Gongwang. Therefore, Pei Ju was also quite attentive to the Dugu family.

Dugu Xin has been involved in power and has old grudges with Yang Jian and his son. At this moment, he must have hoped that the Supreme Emperor can return safely.

Then Pei Ju and Yang Jian must have made different plans.

No wonder Han Qinhu interrupted so promptly.

Gala leaned against the wall of the cabin and closed his eyes to rest. They all had their own plans, what should she plan?

In private, she certainly hoped that her father and Emperor Zhou Jing could be released, and perhaps she could still maintain the honor of the marquis's mansion, and that her father's family would not have to be revenged by Yang Jian and his son. But for public opinion, although Emperor Zhou Jing was good at plotting to get the throne, he was very dereliction of duty as the emperor, and he was greedy for pleasure and ignored political affairs, allowing Dugu Xin to take power, and the right-handed couple took his position but did not plan his politics. The parties in the court fought against each other and the national strength declined. This time, he misunderstood people's words, and even the Huyang Pass was defeated.

Under such circumstances, Yang Jian and his son may be able to turn the tide.

But then again, this time Gala urgently followed North to find out about her father. Of course she couldn't do this. If she wanted to use others, who would be willing to help her?

The more you go north, the more tense the situation becomes.

The news of the defeat of Huyang Pass had already spread. In addition to panic, the bandits hiding in the mountains and forests became rampant. The government guarded the Xiliang River to cross the south, so naturally there was no time to control them, so the journey became even more uneasy. At the inn where Linyang City was staying day and night, the officials accompanied him breathed a little relieved.

Linyang City does not occupy much land and the scale of the inn is limited. The top-quality guest rooms were given to Yang Jian and the officials, and the rest were placed in the attic behind.

It happened that Gala came to Kui Shui, and the way was bumpy and extremely uncomfortable.

After entering the inn, she had no appetite to eat. She drank the ginger soup she found from Hua Shang, and casually cushioned her belly. She found a hand stove to hold her and went to bed early.

Just as she was sleeping heavily, she suddenly heard something in the room. She woke up from her sleep. In her sleepy eyes, a black shadow leaned over and pinched her cheek and forced her to open her mouth. Before Gala could scream, a soft cloth was stuffed into her mouth. Then the man pulled Gala up and took a cloth bag and put it on her head.

Gala subconsciously touched the dagger under the pillow, but the man made a very quick move. He quickly put Gala's wrists in his palm, tied them up with a thin rope, and then carried her on his shoulders and jumped out of the window.

The incident happened too quickly, and Gala had not even seen the Hua Shang sleeping with her on the bed opposite her, but the night wind was invaded by the night wind.

The spring night in the north is still cold.

The man ran and moved quickly, and did not forget to tie Gala's feet randomly.

The night wind swept through the skin, cold to the bone. Gala was suppressed by the man and could not move. In horror, he was invaded by the cold wind and trembled slightly. Fortunately, the man underestimated the enemy. Although she tied her wrist, she did not make a knot. Gala tried to fiddle with his five fingers while struggling, gradually untie it, and then touched the bracelet on his wrist.

It was made by my grandmother specially invited local craftsmen. Five corals were strung, but the other half was made of coral gold, about one and a half inches long. It was carved with exquisite patterns on the outside, but a fine needle was hidden inside. Coral gold is rare in the world. If it is made into a weapon, it can cut iron like mud, and this fine needle is naturally very sharp.

My grandmother was very good at medical skills and once taught Gala to recognize acupuncture points. She made this thing on the same day, thinking that if Gala met a villain, she would find an unexpected opportunity to save herself.

Who knew that today, it came in handy.

Gala held the fine needle in his hand and tried his best to identify the movements around him.

As he ran hurriedly, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air followed. Even Chen Guang shouted angrily and scolded the thief as if he was surrendering. Naturally, the thief refused to listen and whistled, as if calling his friends to attract their companions.

Gala was slightly shocked, afraid that he would call for help, and heard Chen Guang's voice approaching. He gritted his teeth and identified the point of the thief's waist and stabbed it hard. The sharp coral gold polished easily pierced the flesh of his clothes and penetrated deeply into the acupoints. The thief did not expect Gala to suddenly take action. In the severe pain, his arm couldn't help but relax.

After loosening his restraints, Gala immediately gritted his teeth and turned out hard, and fell heavily to the ground.

In the wilderness, rocks are everywhere.

Gala fell to the ground, feeling the pain in her body. She didn't care about the pain and pulled off the cloth bag from her head, but she saw that the moon was shining and the shadows of trees were mixed in distance.

Chen Guangji chased after him, and there were many guards behind him.

The thief was chased and did not dare to stop to catch Gala anymore. In addition, the acupoints on his waist were stabbed, which inevitably affected his pace. After a moment, Chen Guang and the guards caught up and surrounded him.

The danger was resolved, and Gala felt uncomfortable in his lower abdomen.

She squatted on the ground, holding her hands in front of her chest, trying her best to warm her lower abdomen.

When Yang Jian arrived, he saw her crouching in a ball and squatting there, with a thin figure in the night wind.

He was very cautious when he returned to the north and was even more careful about Gala, whom Xiao Cong asked for. He immediately rushed to the scene after hearing the guards report that Gala was abducted. He saw her rolling down from the thief's shoulder for no reason. He was quite surprised. When he approached, he saw that her face was pale, she was only wearing a middle robe and shivering, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she was completely patient.

The bright moon shone in her eyes, and the fog became thicker in her bright eyes. She looked at him and felt sobbing, very pitiful.

Yang Jian paused and looked back.

Immediately, an ink-colored cloak was thrown at Gala, covering her head and mind.

Gala was cold, and he didn't care about Yang Jian's expression and immediately wrapped his cloak around him. However, the lower abdomen was so cold that she couldn't stand up, so she still kept squatting in the ground, rolling the tail of the cloak into a ball to protect her chest and abdomen.

The thief was besieged, but was knocked to the ground for a moment.

Just when Gala was thinking that he could be captured alive, he heard Chen Guang roar suddenly and kicked the thief hard.

She looked over in surprise, but saw that the thief was kicked and shaking, but she didn't react, just lying straight on the ground.

This turned out to be a...death soldier?

She opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked at Yang Jian.

Under the night, Yang Jian turned his back to her. Although he couldn't tell the expression, his back was tense and his anger was obvious.

He ordered Chen Guang to bring the thief back, then turned around and looked at Gala, with a bad face, as if he had any doubts.

Gala had no choice but to get up and walk over with his waist and abdomen slightly bent.

"Thank you for your help! The thief has something on his body. Can I let me take it back?" She looked up at Yang Jian's gloomy gaze. Seeing that he had not stopped him, she boldly walked to the thief. Perhaps he was very scared just now, and now there was a guard Huanli. Gala was not afraid, so he took out the coral golden needle from the thief's waist and wiped it clean on the weeds underground.

Yang Jian stood in silence. When Galo wiped it clean, he suddenly bowed his body and grabbed a fine needle from her hand.

His voice was as gloomy as his face, "Is this thing?"

"This needle is not toxic." Gala was stunned and reacted and explained hurriedly, "I just used a needle to pierce the acupoint in order to escape. Although it could make him let go of his pain, it would not take his life. If Your Highness does not believe it, you can check it."

Yang Jian played with the coral golden needle, looked at Gala's face for a moment, then threw it back to Gala, and turned around and left.

The guards carried the thief onto the horse and followed closely behind.

Chen Guang was indebted, "This time I was not protecting myself, so I was frightened by the girl. The wind was strong in the suburbs, so the girl might as well go back to the post station first. Your Highness will deal with the thief." He was a rough man. Seeing Gala's face pale, he thought it was because of frightening. He borrowed a horse that was chased from his colleagues and helped Gala up.

It is difficult for Gala to get off on a horse.

This place is far away from the city. She now has a stomachache and cannot walk back. There is no car to get there nearby, so she can only rely on horseback to travel.

Fortunately, Yang Jian's cloak was spacious and covered her entire body, which could cover all her embarrassment.
