The old lady was a little moved by what she said.

After all, no one knows when Khitan will retreat.

And as long as the Khitan did not retreat for a day, Lu Jiuyuan would have to guard the border for a day and could not return to Beijing.

In this way, the young couple will not be able to see each other.

Her ninth child will be thirty after the Chinese New Year. If she continues to waste time like this, when will she be able to hold her grandson?

Thinking of this, she made up her mind, "Go, but you must take care of yourself, and besides, I will choose reliable people for you to escort you all the way to the frontier.

As for Gu Changqing, I will tell him, you just go and prepare the things you need to bring. "

Tao Yao happily hugged her, "Thank you mother, then I will go back and pack my things now."

The old lady said lovingly: "Go, the frontier is bitterly cold, take everything you can bring with you."

"I know." Tao Yao nodded, jumped up and went back to Tingfang Courtyard.

In two days, Gu Changqing and the others will set off to the frontier, so in these two days, she will prepare the things she needs.

Although the time was short and she made a temporary decision, but with the support of the old lady, she didn't have to worry about anything else, she just had to pack her things.

However, since she is going to the frontier, she must say hello to Tao Qian and the others.

So after packing up her things, Tao Yao went to Tao's house and told her about going to the frontier.

After hearing this, Tao Qian was very worried.

"The frontier is far away. It's too unsafe for you to be a daughter's house."

"It's okay, father, Mr. Gu is going to go too, and I have someone to take care of me along the way. And my mother-in-law has already agreed, and she will choose a reliable person to escort me there, so don't worry, father, I have made up my mind. "Tao Yao said.

Tao Qian was still worried, "You don't have to discuss such a big matter with me first. Going to the border is not a joke. It's cold there, and it's so close to Khitan. If a conflict breaks out between the two countries, it's very dangerous." of."

"No, Lu Jiuyuan will protect me, and I'm not that weak. If there is any danger, I will run first." Tao Yao knew that he was worried, and tried his best to comfort him.

Tao Qian thought for a while and said, "No, I'll escort you there."

"But how can you get away? And next March, you will marry Aunt Mulan, and there are still many things to prepare." Tao Yao refused, "Father, don't worry about me, there are so many people escorting me, just Don't bother Daddy."

Tao Qian sighed, "I'm just a daughter like you, and you have been to Linzhou once since you were a child, and you have never traveled far, how can I feel relieved?
And I don't have any errands right now, so it shouldn't be difficult to take a leave of absence. "

Tao Yao hesitated when she heard this.

In fact, when Dad was young, he also made military exploits, and he fought bravely. At that time, he was named General Yang Wei by the emperor.

But later on, after he got married, he devoted all his attention to her mother. Later, when her mother "died", he had to raise her again, so how could he care about his official career?
So for so many years, his rank has not been raised, and he has always stayed at the rank of fifth-rank military officer.

In fact, if this family hadn't dragged him down, her father's achievements today would definitely not be lower than that of his uncle.

Perhaps Tao Qian also thought of these things, his expression was a little depressed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Tao Yao noticed his strangeness and was very distressed.

He is a military general, and military generals would like to make contributions, but he was delayed by his mother at his best age.

He was so good to her mother, but her mother feigned death and left him, and made him sad for so many years.

Thinking about it now, he must have regrets in his heart.

Thinking of this, she didn't refuse again.

"If Daddy can sue for leave, then Daddy will escort me there." Tao Yao said.

Tao Qian came back to his senses, touched her head, "OK."

……

After everything was ready, Tao Yao took Xi'er, followed Gu Changqing's team, and under Tao Qian's escort, set foot on the road to the frontier.

The master and the servant disguised themselves as Gu Changqing's servants and mingled in his carriage without anyone noticing.

The road to the frontier is even more difficult than Tao Yao thought.

In addition, it snowed and the weather was cold, so the itinerary was very slow.

However, apart from walking slowly, everything went smoothly. It may also be because they were large in number and accompanied by soldiers with knives, so they frightened Xiao Xiao away.

Therefore, the group did not encounter any bad things, and finally arrived at the border after two months.

The frontier is very cold, although Tao Yao was mentally prepared, but when she arrived at the frontier, she was still frightened by the climate here.

She wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling, but her teeth were still chattering from the cold, and her little face was cold.

She and Xi'er snuggled together to keep each other warm.

Seeing this, Tao Qian took the blanket from his body and wrapped it around the two of them.

He turned his head to look at the snow outside the window, his face was a little dignified, "This year seems to be very cold."

Gu Changqing was also worried, "Yeah, it's so cold, those Khitan people might come to attack regardless."

When Tao Yao heard this, she understood what they meant.

The Khitan people have the worst winter every year.

They are having a hard time, so they will try every means to rob Dayan.

No wonder the Khitan army never retreated.

Are they biding their time?
Several people looked a little dignified until they reached the general's mansion.

Gu Changqing opened the car door, looked out, and said to Tao Yao: "Basically, Jiu Yuan stays in the military camp, and occasionally returns here.

You are a woman, I can't take you to the camp, you and Uncle Tao, let's go here and wait for Jiuyuan first.

After going to the camp in a while, I will tell him that you are here. "

Tao Yao nodded, "Okay, this journey, thank you Mr. Gu for taking care of me, see you later."

"Sister-in-law, you are being polite." Gu Changqing said with a smile.

After saying that, he got out of the carriage first and gave some instructions to his subordinates.

The men quickly knocked on the door of the general's mansion, and then an old man came out.

"You are……"

The subordinate said a few words to him, and then the old man walked to the carriage.

Obviously he knew Gu Changqing, and he was very excited when he saw him, "Why is Mr. Gu here?"

Gu Changqing said with a smile: "I follow the emperor's order to come to condolences to the soldiers on behalf of the emperor. This is Mrs. Lu Guogong, please ask Uncle Tian to take her in and settle down."

Hearing this, Tian Bo looked curiously at Tao Yao, who was dressed in men's clothing, "Are you...the wife of the Duke?"

Tao Yao nodded, "I am. During this time, I'm going to bother Tian Bo."

Tian Bo was overwhelmed with excitement, "Oh, the Duke's wife has come. This old slave doesn't know Mount Tai, so please don't be offended. Please come inside."

Gu Changqing smiled and said: "Uncle Tao, Mrs. Sister-in-law and Uncle Tian go in together, I have to go to the camp first."

"Master Gu, go slowly." Tao Yao nodded.

After Gu Changqing left in a mighty manner with his men, Tao Yao and Tao Qian followed Tian Bo into the General's Mansion.
