The sun and the moon alternated, and before I knew it, it was the 27th day.

Qi Gang led a small team and went north as an envoy.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Jingchuan added the Death Star to his group and went to Kaifeng City to negotiate.

On the 29th day, Wang Chuanwu from the southwest of the capital, with an army of 2,000 men and horses, hurriedly crossed the border of Kaifeng, went along the southwest of Kaocheng, and went straight down to Guide.

After noon that day, the vanguard soldiers gradually arrived at the northern gate of the city.

In contrast, at this moment, Xiao Jingchuan led the welcoming guard, had already finished his lunch, and was waiting at the North Gate.

"Report——"

"Report!"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Wang Chuanwu's troops are already 20 miles north of Guide and will be there soon."

At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan was hiding in the shade of the gate inside the pass. He put out two stools for him and Yuan Ping to rest.

But not far to the north, a horseman came charging towards them.

When the sentry approached, he jumped off his horse, knelt down and bowed.

Xiao Lang did not respond in a hurry for the moment, but seemed quite helpless. He propped himself up and walked back into the poisonous sun.

I am so lazy that I just say something to get by.

"Oh, I see."

"Let's go explore again."

After he finished speaking, the sentry stood up immediately, full of energy. He jumped on his horse and turned away.

That recklessness left Xiao Lang stunned and speechless.

"Haha, whose team is this fool on?"

"That's pretty stupid, huh? Haha. I like it."

"Xiaochuan, please give this person to me."

Yuan Ping watched the fun from behind and thought it was a hilarious scene. He ran after them in the scorching sun and made a few jokes.

Hearing that it was about the boss, Xiao Xian was in a state of confusion.

"Oh, brother, you are really good at taking advantage of opportunities and not following the usual path."

"Ugh"

"hey-hey!"

"Changting, you guys, I'm talking to you all, get up, get up!"

"People on both sides, put up your flags for me."

"We are lining the streets to welcome the Third Prince back to the court."

"Everyone, please wake up!"

Shunzhi glanced over and saw that at this moment, the soldiers who had just lined up in the two rows at the north gate, following the commander-in-chief's order, gradually recovered their energy and spirit from the laziness just after being scorched, and straightened their postures one by one.

"Changting? Hey, Changting, come here."

Seeing the military appearance of the restored team, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly muttered something and hurriedly called Chang Ting to come closer.

"Ah, General, what's the matter?" Chang Ting chased over.

"Has Qi Gang already gone back?"

"Boss, at noon, I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on it. Did you get back to me?!"

Xiao Lang asked in a low voice.

After all, in order to welcome the prince back to the court in a high-profile manner, he must first make sure that Qi Gang has left Kaifeng and is returning.

Otherwise, if this news fell into the ears of enemy spies, they would report it.

It is hard to know whether Qi Gang will be unnecessarily implicated because of this.

"Ah, don't worry, General."

"He did reply this morning, saying he was on his way back."

"Based on the walking distance, we should have reached Tuocheng by now, right?" Chang Ting replied.

"Well, then, you go pick a team of good players and pick them up along the way."

"It is a pity that something like this will cause Qi Gang and Sang Men Xing to get into trouble. Do you understand?!"

Xiao Jing has small plans and hidden concerns in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changting also agreed with it. Without further ado, he clasped his fists and went on to do his job.

When the man walked away, Xiao Jingchuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Jin Yuanping who was nearby, and suddenly he had another warning.

"Hey, brother."

"It's a matter of exposure to the sun and suffering. They say you don't need to come, but look at you, why do you want to join in the fun?"

There is something else behind Xiao Lang's words.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ping curled his lips and did not comment.

"Humph!"

"What's the point of this? I've never seen any royal relatives."

"He is just a little kid, the third prince. We have never seen what he looks like when he was born." "Today is a good day. I will take advantage of you and take a look at him."

"From now on, if you want to do something, you can do it."

Yuan Ping did not hide anything and stated his thoughts clearly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zuo was speechless and embarrassed.

"Hey, brother, didn't we discuss this?"

"You have to listen to me on this matter. Don't do anything rash."

"Even if we ignore the obstacles in Feiyu's court."

"After all, right now, Zhu Cijiong has come to the city under our jurisdiction."

"If anything goes wrong here, then... then I'll have to suffer the consequences too, right?"

"This is a serious matter, you must not"

Xiao was also afraid of Yuan Ping's brutal nature.

Even if I had warned him in advance, I was still afraid that he would act on his own.

"Oh, yes, yes."

"Why were you so fussy the other day?!"

"We men always stick to our words when we do things."

"Since I've already promised you that I won't do it on my own initiative, then I won't do the bullshit work afterwards."

"What are you still talking about?!"

Yuan Ping was impatient and was unhappy with Xiao's muttering, so he started yelling.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang was not annoyed, but just had more to say.

"No, I"

"If you don't take action, what are Chen Jiulang and Lan Qi doing hiding behind the team?"

"I've been looking at these two thieves for quite some time. They look murderous. Who are they trying to compete with?!"

Xiao kept talking back, not daring to relax.

"Uh, hi!"

"I was wondering why you kept talking to me for so long. It turned out to be because of those two."

"Xiaochuan, you are really worrying too much this time."

"I asked them to come here just to make them forget about me."

"If there are any errands in the future, it will be easier to assign them, right?!"

Yuan Ping decided to return.

Everything he said and expressed showed confidence.

Xiao Jingchuan investigated carefully and could not find any clues, so he was completely relieved and did not say anything more.

After a while, I waited for about a quarter of an hour.

To the north, a group of soldiers finally appeared on the wasteland.

The vanguard, if counted, was a vanguard cavalry of about a hundred men.

From then on, they were all infantry.

Moreover, when Xiao Lang looked closely through the telescope, he could see that the horses ridden by the leading rider Ding were also quite varied.

Tall heads, short feet, and even mules can be used.

The infantry that followed had very complicated attire, styles, and weapons.

Xiao Lang couldn't help but frowned secretly, but he didn't say much and just kept silent.

In a moment, the team in front came over.

The leading rider approached at full speed, aiming at Xiao Lang Chi, but he was less than twenty steps away and showed no sign of slowing down.

Seeing this sudden change, the guards on the border were already in a panic, and more than a dozen riders from both wings also aimed their attacks over here.

In front of the North Gate, the originally noisy atmosphere of gongs and drums suddenly became silent, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Jin Yuanping had just drawn his sword and was standing two steps in front of Xiao.

Just wait for Dan to catch Ding Zuo rashly and kill his horse on the spot to resolve the crisis.

Unexpectedly, the rider Ding Meng came over and saw someone blocking their way, so he also pulled the reins.

He stood up suddenly, mounted his horse and raised his hooves, followed by a neigh, and stayed where he was!

"Uu——"

He drew his sword and mounted his horse, causing an uproar all around.

"Haha, Third Little Prince, we meet again."

"Come and be safe!"
