Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

When Mingyi woke up, the sky was filled with glowing clouds. She blinked in the orange afterglow, and it took her a while to remember where she was.

When it was getting dark, they came out of the mountain where the soldiers were hiding in Jinchang, and galloped for another twenty miles before arriving at this small town called Anyuan, where they entered this inn to rest.

After not sleeping all night, and under such circumstances, her mind was always tense, and her physical strength was at its limit. Mingyi fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Until now, if it hadn't been for the empty rumbling in her stomach, she might not have woken up.

When I woke up, the movement outside came into my ears clearly. The sound of horses neighing and people making it very noisy, and the faint sound of people talking could be heard outside. I couldn’t make out what they were saying clearly, but one of them had a very familiar voice. It's Xue Lin.

Mingyi couldn't sleep either, so she simply stood up, straightened her lapels, brushed her sleeves, and opened the door.

In the courtyard outside the door, Xue Lin turned his head when he heard the noise, his eyes met hers, and then he turned around to explain the matter.

Mingyi stood under the eaves with her hands tied. The earthen walls of this inn were not built high. From there, she could see soldiers trotting outside from time to time. It seemed that the soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Tuo and Feng Qi had arrived.

The general who had just been talking to Xue Lin went outside the inn. Xue Lin turned around and strode towards Mingyi. He had changed into black thin scale armor, and his strides were filled with heroic spirit.

"Are you hungry?" Xue Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Wei Yu has prepared dinner for you."

Mingyi was a little surprised, "They are here too?"

"Yes." Xue Lin said solemnly, "The soldiers and horses from Lanzhou have arrived, and the other side of Beiguan is also on the way. I will set off immediately after reorganizing the troops. You will set off back to Beiguan tomorrow at dawn!"

Mingyi nodded and looked up at him, "Be careful!" She had a pair of very beautiful eyes, and when she looked at people intently, she always felt affectionate.

"Don't worry!" Xue Lin looked at her deeply, his eyes deep and deep, and said two words in a deep voice for a long time, then took two steps back, turned around and strode away.

Mingyi stood under the eaves and watched as his back quickly disappeared, and then she looked away.

Xue Lin led the troops away, and the town that was bustling just now became deserted in an instant.

Mingyi, Hu Jinyue and Weiyu had dinner together, and the sky turned completely dark. Maybe she slept a lot during the day, but Mingyi was a little sleepy at night, and she was always worried about Xue Lin. Jin Changguo is not a good person at first glance. He can hide so many soldiers and he is ambitious. I don't know whether his trip will go well or not.

All kinds of thoughts were swirling in my heart, and I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep.

She got up early the next morning and hurried on. She had quite a few garrison troops from Yun'an County. Xue Lin also sent her a full 100-strong bodyguard. Plus the two Lu Zhao brothers who could equal one to ten, it was really a huge force. .

The journey towards Beiguan was uneventful without any disturbance. At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, Mingyi ordered him to find a place to rest for the time being, and wait until the sun went down before continuing on his way.

A group of barbarian merchants also happened to arrive here. Thinking that they had the same plan, they also stopped.

There are many of them here, and they are all wearing armor. Who among ordinary people would dare to approach them at will?

Mingyi got a little tired from staying in the carriage, so she got out of the carriage and stretched her hands and feet. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she wore a curtain hat on her head, and the gauze hung straight down on the instep of her feet. Her face was hidden behind the gauze, making it indistinct and invisible. All I know is that she is a graceful young girl.

Two people from the Hu caravan slowly came forward. As soon as they reached the outside, they were stopped by soldiers with steel knives. The old man quickly said in unskilled Chinese, "Master Jun, we don't have enough water. I wonder if we can ask for some water?"

Since Xue Lin took over Anxi, he has been committed to making Anxi prosperous. After the battle with the Di people last year, in order to resume trade as soon as possible, he has always asked the Anxi army to protect the caravans on the trade road, so he only asked for water. The soldiers of the Anxi army Naturally, he would not refuse to give it. He took the water bag and handed it to someone to fill it up, but he was still on guard.

Mingyi suddenly felt that someone was peeking at her. She suddenly raised her eyes and saw the two Hu merchants. The one who was nodding and bowing to thank the Anxi Army was an old man of half a century, but the one next to him was a young man, who looked a little fair. As soon as Mingyi looked over, even though they were not too close and separated by a layer of gauze, But he also noticed it, and suddenly lowered his eyes, as if in panic.

Mingyi frowned, called Lu Zhao to her side and whispered a few instructions, then she held Wei Yu's hand and boarded the carriage again.

When he opened the curtain and looked outside, the two Hu merchants had already walked back holding the refilled water bags.

When the sun went down and they were on the road again, the Hu caravan also started to move, but it went in the opposite direction to them. When resting at night, Lu Zhaolai came back and said that the caravan was going to Fanzhou.

Fanzhou is adjacent to Beidi on the left and Tubo on the right. It is quite a distance away from Jizhou, which is experiencing chaos. I think it is because some of her plants and animals are under attack.

By the time she returned to Beiguan without incident, Mingyi had forgotten all about the barbarian caravan she encountered that day, as well as the young men in the caravan who peeked at her.

After going out for a while, when I came back, the spring scenery in Beiguan City had long since faded, and the peach tree in the courtyard had lost all its color, leaving only one tree with a deep and shallow blue color.

Mingyi stood under the tree, looking up among the branches and leaves for a long time. Her neck was sore and she couldn't see half a peach. She finally sighed. It seemed that this was really a tree that only had flowers but no fruits. Tree, her flower thinning strategy didn’t work at all!

It's a pity that I still can't live a life where I can pick peaches with my hands.

"Madam, the wing next to Miss Luo has been packed out." Feng Yu stepped forward with a smile and replied.

Mingyi turned to look at Hu Jinyue with a smile, who looked a little restrained, "Twelve Niang, you have to stay in the wing for a few days, and wait until the governor returns to Beiguan to make arrangements."

Hu Jinyue naturally said nothing, "Thank you, madam, for taking care of me."

"It's all as it should be. Fengyu, please take Twelve Niangs to live in the wing! It's been a long journey, so you should have a good rest first!" The last sentence was said to Hu Jinyue.

Seeing Feng Yu taking Hu Jinyue away, Mingyi rushed back to the east chamber in three or two steps, "Wei Yu, go ask the kitchen to prepare hot water."

Weiyu followed with a smile, "Sister Fengyu has already prepared it. Madam, please hurry up and relax."

It wasn't until she took a good bath that Mingyi felt alive. Lying down on the soft and fragrant couch, she felt like she was in another world. I didn’t go out for long this time, but I experienced a lot, maybe because of this. I don’t know what’s going on with Xue Lin, Mingyi thought and frowned slightly. When he entered the house just now, he had already told Songfeng to report as soon as there was news. Even if there was news, it would not be so fast.

"Princess! Princess!" Mingyi had just finished sighing and told herself not to think anymore, when she heard this burst of joyful shouts coming from outside the courtyard, it was Fanshuang.

When they first returned home, Mingyi asked Fengyu and said that Fanshuang had left early in the morning and returned late almost every day since they left. Today, he left the house before dawn. In the past, he would have to go out at night. return. It was still early in the evening, so he seemed to have heard that they had returned home, so he rushed over in a hurry.

"The Governor promised me to change my name to Madam, you are so brave!" Wei Yu from outside greeted her, deliberately saying with a tigerish face.

"Isn't it that the Governor is not here?" Fan Shuang stuck out his tongue and raised his hand to hug Wei Yu, "Oh, Wei Yu, you are finally back. I miss you so much, and the princess... uh, Madam."
