Chapter 264 The Commander's Mansion ([-])
"Isn't that right? That man claimed to be the younger brother of Marshal Bai of the Yuan Kingdom. He wanted to avenge his brother and sneaked into Marshal Zheng's mansion to assassinate him. However, General Zheng found out and captured him in one fell swoop."

"The General Zheng you're talking about is the mighty and invincible General Zheng Jiao?"

"Isn't it her? She is the only female general in our Xidan country."

"That stupid boy is really stupid. He dared to break into the marshal alone. It's really desperate."

"What do you know? I heard that he not only wanted to avenge his brother, but also that the girl he liked was also in the Marshal's mansion, so he risked his life to break in."

"Ah——Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty——"

Bai Wenhao's hands were clenched into fists, his face sank like water, and his face was solemn. He punched the tabletop with his fist, and several cracks appeared on the curved wooden tabletop immediately.

Miaoyin also looked solemn, and said to Bai Wenhao: "If what these people said is true, it must be Wenyuan, but how could Wenyuan leave his parents and come all the way to this Xidan country? There may be fraud in it."

Bai Wenhao shook his head: "He will come, because he must know the news that you were trapped in Zhengying, and he has a deep feeling for you." This is the first time he mentioned his brother's feelings for her in front of Miaoyin. He didn't care, as the saying goes, gentlemen love to be gentlemen.

With Miaoyin's appearance, it is normal to fall in love with her, not to mention, Miaoyin once saved his life.

He never thought that Wen Yuan's admiration would be an obstacle between him and Miao Yin, because he knew very well that Miao Yin and Wen Yuan were not suitable.

It's just that he never thought that Wen Yuan's affection for Miaoyin is so deep that he could even risk his own life.

Miaoyin shook her head: "He is for you, you are his elder brother, the only elder brother."

Bai Wenhao sighed softly, grabbed her hand and got up: "Let's go, go to Xidan Imperial Capital now."

At this time, Xiao Er knocked on the door with a large tray and entered the private room, and three plates of steaming and fragrant dishes were served on the table.

Miao Yin said: "Can I trouble you to pack it for us? I'm in a hurry to leave now, um, I'll pack another two catties of steamed buns."

Xiaoer had just received their reward, so he was not unwilling, so he hurriedly said yes, and brought out the three dishes again, and after a while, he walked into the private room with a few oil paper bags.

"Guest officers, here are your dishes and steamed buns." Xiao Er handed the oiled paper bag to Bai Wenhao.

Bai Wenhao hurriedly handed the prepared money to Xiaoer and left in a hurry.

After leaving the restaurant, Miaoyin looked around and said, "Didn't you say you saw Fengrui Yinzhuang? Let's go and have a look. It would be best if we can exchange some money. I don't know if there is Fengrui on the way to the imperial capital." Yinzhuang, I'm afraid our money will not be enough."

Bai Wenhao nodded, turned back in the carriage, and after walking for a while, finally found the Fengrui Yinzhuang that he had seen before.

Miaoyin came to the silver cabinet with her seal and silver deposit receipt. Miaoyin was received by a fat shopkeeper. After checking the deposit receipt and seal, the shopkeeper exchanged 300 taels of silver for Miaoyin without saying a word.

"Master, I'm really sorry, but the rule of our Fengrui Yinzhuang is that we can only withdraw a maximum of 300 taels for cross-border cash withdrawals."

Miaoyin frowned: "But this is a certificate of deposit for 1000 taels."

The fat shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll write you a new certificate of deposit for 700 taels. After that, you can withdraw silver from all Fengrui Yinzhuang in Xidan, but you can only pay 300 taels each time. This is the gauge .”

Well, since it is a death rule, she can do nothing, 300 taels is enough to spend, and after taking the 700 taels from the shopkeeper, she hurriedly left Fengrui Yinzhuang, and the two drove away in a carriage, all the way Go to the imperial capital in the east.

The two traveled all the way without any worries, and finally arrived at the Xidan Imperial Capital ten days later.

All the small towns and metropolises seen along the way are all in depression, and their prosperity is not even as prosperous as Guling Town, which is far away in the border area.

Despite this, the imperial capital of Xidan is very prosperous. Although it is not as gorgeous and rich as the imperial capital of the Yuan Kingdom, it is better because of the crowds and bustle. There are endless shouts on both sides of the street, and there are many people shopping to watch the excitement. Their small carriages can only drive slowly .

He found an unremarkable inn to stay, and when he was done tidying up, Miao Yin called Xiao Er and gave him a small silver ingot.

Xiao Er is a delicate and transparent person, immediately understood the meaning of Miao Yin, hurriedly stuffed the silver ingot into his bosom, nodded and bowed and said: "If you have any orders, please tell me, Xiao Er will definitely obey."

"I heard that there is a female general in Marshal Zheng's residence?" Miao Yin asked with a smile.

Xiao Er hurriedly nodded, smiled and said, "That's right, the second lady of Marshal Zheng's family, Zheng Jiao, is a brave general on the battlefield, very powerful."

Miao Yin asked again: "Is General Zheng Jiao married?"

Xiaoer waved his hands again and again: "No, no, she is so fierce, none of the men in our Xidan country can subdue her, but you two must not say this outside, be careful to cause trouble to the upper body, this General Zheng Jiao Not only is she good at running the army, but she is also very good at dealing with people. Someone once said bad things about her, and when she found out, she dragged him out and broke both of her legs."

Bai Wenhao raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zheng Jiao to pretend to be tender and tender in front of him, but her real temperament was so fiery and ruthless.

He couldn't help but worry for Wen Yuan, if Zheng Jiao caught him, he might suffer a lot.

At this time Miao Yin asked again: "You General Zheng Jiao is so powerful, it seems that the rumors are true, even the masters from Yuan Kingdom were taken down by her in one fell swoop."

A look of arrogance immediately appeared on Xiao Erdui's smiling face, "Of course, Marshal Zheng's mansion is not as strong as the imperial palace, but in addition to the marshal who is still young, there are also eldest sons, second misses and third sons sitting in the marshal's mansion. There are also several battle-tested generals sitting in the town, not to mention a living person, even a fly, I'm afraid it's not easy to fly in casually."

Miaoyin's face darkened slightly, and the smile on her face remained undiminished: "To be honest, the two of us came here admiring General Zheng Jiao's reputation, and our lifelong wish is to befriend him and learn martial arts together."

Xiaoer took another look at Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao, and saw that although they were not rich and powerful, they were very particular about their clothes, and their demeanor was even more extraordinary. They couldn't be called big men, so they said, "Don't be disappointed, you two. As the villain knows, three days later, the Marshal's Mansion will hold a banquet, inviting the dignitaries from the imperial capital to have a banquet, if you have a way to enter the Marshal's Mansion, you will definitely meet General Zheng Jiao."

Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao exchanged a look, with a look of joy on their faces, as expected, there is no unparalleled road.

Three days later, Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao disguised themselves as cooks and mixed with a bunch of cooks into the Marshal's Mansion.

The two met each other in the back kitchen and left quietly. They knocked out the two guards in the garden, changed their clothes, and then walked openly in the mansion.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, they would meet someone they never dreamed of meeting.

"You two come here." The man in the moonlight brocade robe waved to Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao.

Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao hurriedly lowered their heads and walked to his side quickly: "What is the third son's order?" Bai Wenhao deliberately lowered his voice to answer.

Zheng Zhou looked away, didn't look carefully at the two guards he called over, and said casually: "Go ask the second lady, just say I'm waiting for her here." Zheng Zhou sat aside and copied the wooden board in the veranda. bar.

Miaoyin and Bai Wenhao exchanged glances, Bai Wenhao answered in a deep voice, and the two quickly turned around and prepared to leave.

A gust of breeze blew by, and Zhengzhou sniffed his nose. He seemed to smell a familiar smell, the faint herbal fragrance mixed with strands of lotus fragrance, which was very nice and special, and he only smelled it on one person. Been to this taste.

Zhengzhou stood up abruptly, and shouted to the two guards who had already walked away: "Stop."

Miaoyin's Bai Wenhao secretly thought that something was wrong, and instead of slowing down, he speeded up his departure, pretending that he didn't hear Zhengzhou's shouts.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhou was about to go after him, when Zheng Jiao came over from the other side of the corridor: "Third brother, I heard the maid said you were looking for me?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhou turned around and said to Zheng Jiao, "I have something to tell you." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the two guards, but they were still there.

"What's the matter with you? It's weird." Zheng Jiao walked to him and sat down, leaning against the pillar with her back, with a slightly resentful expression on her face.

Zhengzhou came back to his senses, and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing, just now I saw two guards who looked familiar, I wanted to ask about it."

Zheng Jiao gave him a white look: "You've always been like this recently. Everyone you meet says you look familiar. Are you insane? Being tortured like this by a woman, you wouldn't think that she would come all the way to the capital of Xidan to look for you. you?"
