Rong Ma was not surprised by the content of the letter. Rong Jingqiu's letter also arrived at the same time. At that time, she knew something was going to happen. As expected, the situation in the capital had begun to become tense. She couldn't help but worry that Rong Jingqiu, who was in the capital, would be involved, especially if she was ill now and her husband was not around.

As for her husband's house, Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, she was not worried much. In short, her father-in-law had his own solutions. It was not her turn to worry about it, and she didn't want to worry about it.

Just when she was in a daze, the scoundrel brother beside her hit her arm, and she came to her senses and looked at him in confusion. He only heard him whisper, "Dad called you several times just now, but I didn't see you agree."

Rong Ma thanked the gangster softly, and then looked at his father, "Dad, do you call me?"

"What do you think so trance?" General Ma looked at his daughter dissatisfiedly, "The situation is not stable recently. You can move back home. At least you have a guarantee and accompany your mother by the way..."

Rong Mashi is not arrogant on this issue. She grew up here and knew that once a war broke out, many women here would be affected, so going home is naturally the best choice. The protection measures at home are not comparable to those of Rong Hong's simple yamen.

"Dad, I understand. When I go back and tell Rong Hong, I will move back."

General Ma nodded with satisfaction. It was one thing that he was not satisfied with his son-in-law, but it was also appropriate for his daughter to explain to the other party.

Rong Ma had not been at her parents' home for a long time, and she didn't know much about marching, fighting and defense, so when she saw her father and brothers start discussing this, she tactfully asked to leave first.

Mrs. Ma, the mother of Rong Ma, was waiting outside. When she saw her daughter coming out, she hurried over and grabbed her daughter's hand, saying with some hope, "I seem to hear your father ask you to live home..."

"yes."

Seeing that his daughter gave a positive answer, Mrs. Ma was happy, "I'll go and tell someone to clean up the yard you live in." She turned around and walked two steps, and thought of something and turned around, "By the way, where is the son-in-law? Do your father have any arrangements?"

"Dad didn't say it, I didn't mention it either." Rong Ma said a little coldly, "No matter how he has the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion to support him, and there are other arrangements, so I don't care much about it."

Mrs. Ma frowned, "After all you are husband and wife..."

"Mom, that's what I do with him. Anyway, that's it. I'm not here. If there is really something wrong, he can handle it calmly."

Seeing that his daughter was cold in response, Mrs. Ma did not revolve around this issue. Anyway, living in the border where remarriage was a common thing for a woman, what else would she not be able to adapt to? When this son-in-law first came to the door, she was not very satisfied. After all, she was not good to her daughter, so she didn't need to be very good to him.

When Rong Ma returned to the government office, he saw Rong Hong wearing coarse cloth clothes preparing to go out. He obviously went to detect the water source again. As long as there was no official business, Rong Hong spent all his time looking for water sources. Therefore, he was less and less noble and less arrogant, but he became much tanned, which was a little more masculine than when he was in the capital.

"I'm back." Rong Hong said.

Rong Ma nodded and said his father's instructions.

Rong Hong said without even thinking, "Just do what my father-in-law said. If you go back to your parents' home, I will feel more at ease..."

Rong Ma's eyebrow listened to her, but she didn't respond much.

Rong Hong was not surprised. After saying a few words, he said goodbye to Rong Ma and walked outward.

After a while, Rong Ma suddenly turned around and called him. Seeing him stopping and turning to look at her, she said, "It has never been very peaceful here. Don't think that this place is really safe. Take more people when going out. If the situation is urgent, run to the general's mansion. In short, be careful."

Rong Ma was obviously caring about his safety. Rong Hong couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Since he came to this world, he has devoted his mind to doing practical things. It has been a long time since he remembered Wen Ruyi. Those past events of love and love seem to be far away from him. Every day when he opens his eyes, he sees that there are no wind and sand but wind and sand. The world here is not prosperous, but it is even wider.

"Don't worry, I won't show off." He smiled at Rong Ma. The more he really had contact, the less he had to resist Rong Ma. Now he even admired her a little.

Compared with the gentle and small feelings of the women in Jiangnan, women in northern China have a different flavor.

Rong Ma didn't say anything else. She waved her hand and turned around and left. She still had a lot of things to clean up, so she didn't have the intention to say more to Rong Hong.

Rong Hong looked at her back for a while, her eyes slightly covered her thoughts, and turned around and walked out.

The wind and sand in the northwest did not blow to the place where Rong Jingqiu was. She left Shimen County, Jiangbei Province. She followed Zhao Yu to continue along Huijiang and inspected the progress of the next water conservancy project. During this period, the calm came one after another. The more she looked, the more frightened she became. The situation was not very good.

"The prince seems to be unable to suppress the rebellion."

Stopped in a wilderness and resting in a wilderness, Rong Jingqiu did not go to cook, but sat on the carpet that Feng Debao had laid, and summed up the news he received in his hand and came to this conclusion.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu turned his head slightly to look at Rong Jingqiu. Rong Jingqiu quietly handed over the news in his hand and whispered, "With General Xiao's years of experience in marching and fighting, it is impossible for me to deal with the mobs. The only thing that can be explained is that he did not do his best, and he doesn't know if my analysis is right."

Of course, she did not insist that her judgment was correct, but the conclusion she had conjectured was still to be decided by Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu did not say anything, but after reading all the news related to General Xiao, he could indeed feel that he was in a passive and lazy battle. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In his opinion, the hidden danger brought by General Xiao is even greater than the collusion between the Seventh Prince and the Mobei Royal Court. If he is not wrong, General Xiao is delaying time.

As if he was thinking of something, he suddenly asked Rong Jingqiu, "Look through the news, is there any information about General Xiao Xu's wife."

Rong Jingqiu responded and began to search, without asking more about Zhao Yu why he asked Xiao Xu.

After a while, she saw the news that Xiao Xu had returned to the border from the tiny lines, and immediately reported it to Zhao Yu, "She has returned to the border."

The woman Xiao Xu's status in the Xiao family was not low, otherwise Xiao Ling would not have listened to her everything. She could teach her stepdaughter like this, and Xiao Xu's ability was quite good.

"The defense from the other side is stable," said Zhao Yu.

Rong Jingqiu's expression flashed, "You mean... Xiao Xu has the right to mobilize the Xiao family army?"

"She has always been one of General Xiao's wisdom," Zhao Yu answered her questions. "General Xiao left the northwest and rushed to the front line of suppressing the rebellion. He must have made arrangements for his own line. The person behind the scenes is not Xiao Xu."

She is both a wife and a subordinate. Xiao Xu has the function of connecting the past and the future. What's more, she has successfully made Xiao Ling the crown princess, so there will be a supporter in the capital, and it will not make much sense for Xiao Xu to stay in the capital again.

Rong Jingqiu had met Xiao Xu and knew that this woman was quite powerful, but she didn't expect that she was so capable. However, "At first glance, it seemed to be arranged properly, but why do I always feel..." Something was not right.

"Shh!" Zhao Yu gently pressed his finger on her lips and smiled slightly, "You can only understand it, not express it in words."

Rong Jingqiu glanced at him, pretending to be mysterious, and pushed his hand away without hesitation, "Don't touch your hands, there are people around you, so people can see you think you have a dragon yang habit. What should I do?"

Cold salad!

When Rong Jingqiu saw Zhao Yu's cheating expression, she immediately snorted coldly.

The interaction between the two fell into the eyes of Mr. Fang, a staff member who had just returned, and he couldn't help but say to Mr. Mu with some concern, "Will that Mr. Rong also want to become his highness's aide? I think your highness trusts him more and more. He has even taken away Eunuch Feng's work..."

In the past, Feng Debao was the only one who could discuss matters so close to His Highness Ninth. Now even Feng Debao has fallen out of favor and can only arrange some trivial matters, and his status has obviously declined.

"I think you're worried." Mr. Mu glanced at him. It was meaningless to compare with Rong Shiqi. He was the ninth prince's wife's clan brother. It was reasonable for His Highness to look at him in a different way.

Mr. Fang sneered lightly, pretending to be noble.

He no longer discussed this issue with Mr. Mu, but instead went to explore Feng Debao's words. This man has been seized from power now, so he must be unwilling to accept it. What's more, this man is still a rootless person and takes power more seriously.

But Feng Debao just smiled and didn't respond much to his inquiries and provocations. After a few words, he turned around to deal with other matters and left Mr. Fang aside.

He served Zhao Yu for so many years, and some words could not be as straightforward as Rong Jingqiu. He also heard about the matter discussed by the couple recently. He was shocked at the time. This was a serious crime that lost his head. If it were him, he might not have dared to guess like this, but Rong Jingqiu dared, and he would be at a disadvantage at this point.

This was the first time he was stolen from the limelight and had no complaints. He even consciously did not get so close. The less he heard about those rebellious things, the better. He knew it himself.

After cooking the food, the eleventh prince hurried back, sat down and grabbed the food and ate it, "I'm starving to death."

"Has the road ahead been discovered?" Zhao Yu pulled a roasted rabbit leg to Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu took it without hesitation and started eating. It would be nice to have such food when going out. It would be considered luck to catch a hare this time, otherwise he would have to chew dry food, which would be even worse.

The Eleventh Prince couldn't help but take a look at the two of them as they looked at them, but the two of them were so calm that their guess seemed a little dirty, but these two people really gave him a strange feeling.

"Where are you asking?" Zhao Yu frowned slightly to block the eleventh prince's gaze of Rong Jingqiu, and his eyes became even colder.

The 11th prince shivered and quickly returned to his spirit, "There is a river ahead, and the water is relatively turbulent, so you need to be careful when crossing the river."

The work that could have been handed over to others was sent to him by his own ninth brother. He was so sad that others could only do as they told him.

Zhao Yu frowned slightly. Although he had not found any traces of following the track along the way, he had never relaxed his vigilance in his heart. The last thing he had could not get through with the queen. The little-minded queen would definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge, so he never really relaxed his vigilance.

"I'll cross the river later, you're behind."

The eleventh prince looked at Zhao Yu in confusion, "Brother Jiu, are you worried?"

Zhao Yu glanced at him, and the eleventh prince shivered. The two brothers had a good relationship and had always had tacit understanding. "Brother understands."

"Wait a minute and you will be with Eleven. When I cross the river safely, you will be there." Zhao Yu turned his head and ordered Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu frowned her thick eyebrows. She was about to protest a few words when she saw Zhao Yu say with a serious face, "Assuming the order."

When he said this, it was not the time for her to refute, especially when outsiders were present, those women could not use their means. There were many people who were paying attention to her. If people suspected that it was a woman, the crime of deceiving the king would definitely be taken to her.

She didn't come to drag Zhao Yu down the road.

After thinking it through, she nodded, "I understand, but Your Highness needs to be careful."

She knew that Zhao Yu was putting himself in a dangerous situation, and she had never let go of her worries. "For the sake of the Ninth Prince's Knife, you have to take care of yourself."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled softly, and then responded in a low voice, "I know."

After having a simple lunch, the team set off again.

As he moved forward, the person who received the order quietly left the team. The Eleventh Prince personally led the team quietly behind. After a short while, Rong Jingqiu also joined this team in the secret.

No one said anything, and he was very familiar with Rong Jingqiu, and he didn't even take a look at him.

Rong Jingqiu's face was always calm. She didn't quite agree with Zhao Yu to be the bait, but the person came for him. His goal was too big and he could not deceive anyone who had actually seen him with a substitute.

In view of this, it is understandable that he has a backup plan in this way.

The closer she got to the river, the more nervous she became, but she still clenched her fists heavily and let her fingernails sink into the flesh, so that she could keep calm.

No matter what, she has seen such scenes with limited circumstances and her only memories are not beautiful. At this time, she is trying to overcome the obstacles in her heart.

Seeing the eleventh prince quietly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, hiding some distance from the river bank, lurking quietly.

Rong Jingqiu lowered her body, but her eyes were tightly looking at Zhao Yu who was sitting on the slit of the grass through the grass. Her palms began to sweat, and the pinched palms were painful. Her consciousness became more and more clear, and she even drew out the crossbow arrow and was ready at all times.

Hong Shang and Lu Xiu beside them looked at each other, neither of them spoke without saying a word, holding the weapons in their hands, and they had to protect the safety of the princess for their lives.

An accident happened in an instant.

Just as Zhao Yu's horse was walking straight into the middle of the river, someone immediately started to fire cold arrows on the other side of the river, and shot towards Zhao Yu with arrows unique to the air, which was overwhelming and spectacular.

And Zhao Yu was the target of public criticism.
