Old Mrs. Song wanted to explain, but when she met Mrs. Song's eyes that looked through her, she froze in place, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Old Lady Song’s expression, Sister Song knew that she had guessed correctly, and whispered, “Mother, what is the identity of my sister-in-law?

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Old Mrs. Song shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.

But, Zhiqi, since she doesn't want to tell us, let's not ask anymore."

Mrs. Song nodded to indicate that she understood.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xu Yuan set off to the next place.

When everyone saw that all the officers had mounted their horses, the confusion in their eyes deepened.

Seeing this, Sun Eryong looked at Zhao Yong and said, "Brother, what does this mean?

Weren’t they afraid that we would run away before?

How come there are only two people following us now? "

Zhao Yong shook his head and whispered, "I don't know either. Let's wait and see what happens."

Because we now have means of transportation, the speed has increased a lot.

After walking for about an hour, the green plants around us gradually became less.

Soon, everyone's previous doubts were answered, and everyone was stunned looking at the endless desert before them.

Looking at the desert without any shelter, Sun Eryong said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I finally understand why only two people were left to follow us.

No one can escape from here, right?"

Xu Yuan laughed when he heard this, looked at Sun Eryong and said, "You are absolutely right. No one can escape from here."

Song Ye looked at the desert in front of him and finally understood why Xu Yuan had asked them to buy more water before.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Yuan shouted, "We have to travel tonight and rest tomorrow."

After saying that, he started running on his horse without any explanation. Seeing this, the others also followed Xu Yuan.

When Song Ye and his team's mules heard the horses' calls, they also started running, without the need for anyone to drive them.

The group spent more than ten days like this, resting in the shade during the day and traveling at night.

During this period, the barbarians sent people to assassinate him, but none of them returned.

After the new emperor found out, he no longer sent people to assassinate them. Instead, he exiled all the members of the Leng family to a desolate land one after another, using the excuse that barbarians had entered the country.

At this time in the border military camp, the old man in armor looked coldly at the father-in-law in front of him and gritted his teeth and said, "Which of my sons is guilty this time?"

When the father-in-law saw the old man like this, he lowered his head in fear and handed the imperial edict in his hand to the old man.

He said in a trembling voice: "General Leng, why don't you just look at it yourself."

That’s right, the old man in front of him was the late queen’s father, Xiao Lengyue’s grandfather, Leng Shaobin, who was in charge of an army of 100,000 at the border.

When General Leng heard this, the veins on his neck popped out, he clenched his hands tightly, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "Please let the eunuch announce the decree.

Don't let that happen and I will be accused of disobeying your orders again."

When the father-in-law heard this, his body stiffened slightly. Thinking of what had happened before, he quickly opened the imperial edict and began to read it.

When he heard that they were his second son and third grandson, General Leng laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha··············"

After laughing, Leng Shaobin looked at the person in front of him and said, "Now, my Leng family has no one left in the army.

The imperial decree for my dismissal should be on the way, right?"

When the eunuch who announced the decree heard this, he said with some difficulty: "General, the emperor has said so.

As long as the general helps him guard the border, the general's relatives will be able to reach the desolate land safely."

When Leng Shaobin heard this, he didn't say anything else, but turned and left.

When he walked out of the military tent, he saw his son and three grandsons being escorted out.

Looking at them like that, Leng Shaobin, a tough guy, had tears in his eyes.

Zhengwu has guarded the border for the people all his life, but why does he have to see his children die when he is old?

Leng Shaobin's third grandson looked at his grandfather and choked up, "Father, grandpa is getting old again.

You see, he had all black hair before, but in just a few months, half of his hair turned white.”

The man beside him felt his heart skip a beat when he heard his son's words, and said in a hoarse voice, "Kowtow to your grandfather."

After saying that, the man knelt down in front of Leng Shaobin. Seeing this, the little boy beside him also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Leng Shaobin.

When Leng Shaobin saw this, tears started to flow. He wiped his tears, turned around and waved at them.

The escorting officer felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene and said, "General, let's go.

If you do this, the old general will feel even worse."

After hearing this, the man stood up and left without looking back.

Leng Shaobin looked at their backs and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind him quickly helped Leng Shaobin into the tent, and the military doctor arrived soon.

After checking the pulse, he said to the person beside the old man, "Deputy General Zhou, the general is just anxious and angry, it's nothing serious, I will go and boil the medicine."

After hearing that nothing was wrong, the man called Deputy General Zhou ordered everyone to leave the tent.

As soon as the medical officer left the tent, he was brought before the eunuch who announced the imperial decree. After learning that it was just a case of anger and nothing serious, the eunuch who announced the imperial decree breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending the medical officer away, he ordered people to return to the capital at dawn and report the matter to the emperor as soon as possible.

After all, General Leng is old. If anything happens to him, the barbarians will definitely launch a massive attack.

After thinking it through, my father-in-law quickly asked people to pack up and was about to leave for Beijing overnight.

In the tent, Leng Shaobin woke up. When Zhou Zheng saw him, he hurried forward and helped him up.

Leng Shaobin looked at Zhou Zheng and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?

Didn't I tell you to stay in your barracks?"

Zhou Zheng heard this and said helplessly: "General, no one knows I came to you, don't worry."

After saying that, I saw that his brows were furrowed, so I said, "Don't worry, we are all family members just now, and we won't tell anyone."

Hearing this, Leng Shaobin sighed helplessly, stood up and sat down on the chair, saying: "The new emperor is always keeping an eye on the Leng family, so it's better for you to avoid it."

Zhou Zheng laughed when he heard this, then shook his head helplessly and said, "General, do you think that if I distance myself from you, I won't be a thorn in his side?"

Without waiting for Leng Shaobin to speak, he continued, “Even if you are not a thorn in the eyes of the new emperor, you will become a thorn in the eyes of the new officers.”

Speaking of this, Leng Shaobin sighed, looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "It looks like I'm going to implicate you."

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "It would be too polite to say that we are implicated."
