All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Day two.

As soon as dawn breaks in the east, the light of the rising sun fills the earth.

The soldiers in Stone City were already prepared and stood in the square in high spirits and high spirits.

He carried a bag on his back and held a weapon in his hands.

These soldiers are all about to go to war.

With an order, they set off.

The team lined up neatly.

When leaving the city, the people in the city lined the streets to see them off, watching the soldiers leave the city while shouting slogans of victory.

Very inspiring.

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

When they left the city and saw the man standing next to the carriage, the soldiers' already high morale became even more excited.

That's the princess!

The prince is very powerful, and the princess is even more amazing.

With such a powerful person leading them, are they still afraid that they cannot defeat the Huns in the northern desert?

The arrival of the summer cicadas greatly boosted morale.

Xie Lin, who was standing next to Xia Chan, helped her onto the carriage with a gentle look.

"I'm in front of the team. If you need anything, ask Xie Jiu to call me."

It was Xia Chan who proposed to set off with Xie Lin last night.

According to Xie Lin's idea, he wanted Xia Chan to wait for him in Stone City until his triumphant return, but Xia Chan insisted on going with him.

She promised not to bother him.

Just think of it as going to see the scenery outside the Great Wall.

Xie Lin was a little amused and helpless because of Xia Chan's words.

How could he be afraid that she would affect him? He was just worried that she and the child would suffer on the road to the war, sleeping in the open air.

Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Xie Lin's words, "Have you forgotten my abilities?"

With space as her own, she can live a good life no matter where she goes.

Xie Lin doesn't have to worry about her at all.

On the contrary, she suggested going together because she was more worried about Xie Lin.

It was difficult for Xie Lin to refuse Xia Chan's request, and Xia Chan's reasons were irrefutable, so Xie Lin had no choice but to agree.

That's why they went to the battlefield together as a couple.

This morning, she did not go with Xie Lin to inspect the troops, but went directly to wait outside the city gate with Wei Huaxuya.

When the main force arrives, she will just have to let the carriage catch up.

A team of several thousand people set out towards Tongtian Pass in a mighty manner.

The Mobei generals who had just retreated to Tongtian Pass yesterday had just taken a breath and had not yet come to their senses when they heard that Xie Lin had led his men out of Stone City.

In the Mobei military camp, the highest-ranking commander, the deputy general, turned green when he heard the report from the sentry that Xie Lin and his team were only a few dozen miles away from Tongtian Pass.

Summon all the generals to a meeting immediately.

"What's going on? We have all retreated. Are they still planning to attack us at Tongtian Pass?"

"Yeah, isn't this Xie family too arrogant? He doesn't take us Mobei people seriously at all."

"That's right, it's too much."

These people are very angry now.

But they have never thought about how they have bullied the border residents of Daqing over the years.

Now that the other party has merely shown the intention to attack them, they can no longer contain themselves and are so angry that they want to jump up and down.

If they were harassed by Daqing soldiers for no reason, they would probably have been furious.

The deputy general frowned, looking at the generals below who were chattering and making a lot of noise. To be honest, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

But I can’t say now.

Speaking out loud would damage one's own morale.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about them coming. What should we do?"

"Fight!"

One of them spoke up, "We couldn't capture Stone City before because it was well-defended."

"Now we have retreated to Tongtian Pass. Relying on the defense of Tongtian Pass, we will not lose."

Although Tongtian Pass is not as big as Stone City, its walls are still relatively solid.

This was originally a city of the Han people, but later it was seized by them and became their territory.

The city wall built by the Han people a hundred years ago is still usable today.

Using the walls built by the Han people to resist the Han people is a brilliant idea no matter how you look at it.

Compared to the optimism of his subordinates, the deputy general was not so optimistic.

He raised his head and glanced at the city wall outside that had not been repaired for decades, and couldn't help frowning.

Can that city wall really withstand the attack from Xie Lin and his men?

If we lose Tongtian Pass, it would be equivalent to losing the outpost.

So no matter whether he can withstand the attack of Xie Lin and others, he will lead his men to defend Tongtian Pass.

The deputy general's only hope is that Prince Zhennan will return from the Mobei royal court as soon as possible.

.........

Mobei.

A foreign country, their royal court was located in a lush pasture between two mountains.

The Xiongnu king settled here decades ago, so the construction of the royal court imitated the Han people's city architecture.

Their city walls are much lower, and the city gates are the same as those of the Han people.

Although they are two completely different ethnic groups, Mobei and Southern Xinjiang are both deeply influenced by Han culture.

On the long street in the middle of the royal court, in a large house that was awarded only last year, lived two young girls from Mobei.

They each lived in the East Garden and the West Garden with their own children.

Normally the two of them rarely interact with each other, but today is different, because today the male owner of the house has returned.

Naturally, they would come to the front yard together.

"My lord..."

"My lord..."

The two young women called out gently.

The person they were calling was none other than the Prince of Zhennan who had returned to the royal court to apologize.

He arrived at the royal court at midnight the day before yesterday, packed up, and went to the palace early yesterday morning.

I just got back at midnight last night.

Now he's going out again.

The Prince of Zhennan came and went in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to accompany his two young princesses.

I don’t know if he is really pressed for time or just doesn’t want to stay?

Anyway, when he was about to go out, he suddenly heard the servant report that the two princesses had arrived. His hand, which was adjusting his cuffs, paused slightly.

There was a strange emotion in his eyes.

But he quickly adjusted his expression and continued to adjust his clothes.

"My Lord, are you leaving now?"

After coming in and greeting the prince, the princess didn't even get a glance from the prince, so she bit her lip and mustered up the courage to speak.

"What's the matter?"

The voice of Prince Zhennan was rather serious.

You can feel from his voice that he is not in a good mood.

Considering that he had been in the palace for so long, they all thought that he was in a bad mood because he was scolded by the king.

For women who regard their men as the sky, they don’t know how to speak again after being interrupted by someone in a bad tone.

Prince Zhennan's face did not look good.

But he wasn't angry with them, he was angry with himself.

He couldn't see either of them now.
