I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei was eager to open it, but was stopped by Fu Jichang.

"Don't move, it might be a poisonous snake or something like that that could hurt you..."

Fu Jichang frowned, took the box out again, and then slowly opened it.

There was nothing inside except a small note.

Fu Jichang and Ji Xiaobei looked at each other with tacit understanding, and it turned out that someone was passing on a message.

Fu Jichang took it out, and the two of them went into the house. When they unfolded it, she was instantly shocked.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaobei took the note and looked at Fu Jichang in confusion.

The words on the note, no, they can’t be called words, they look like oracle bone inscriptions.

"What's written on this?"

Ji Xiaobei couldn't wait to ask

Fu Jichang's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he said, "The emperor is in trouble, and we need your protection urgently!"

"What? The emperor has..." Before Ji Xiaobei could finish his sentence, Fu Jichang covered his mouth and he shook his head gently.

Ji Xiaobei pulled his hands off and asked in astonishment, "Is this news true?"

"This is a secret order. Only a few people in the court know this font. It can't be fake..."

Ji Xiaobei: I can’t see it! ~

"The young prince's handwriting..." Fu Jichang whispered.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah...it’s written like a picture, and you can tell it’s there. It’s amazing!

Then who conveyed the message to the young prince?

She hasn't sorted out her thoughts yet.

Fu Jichang came back after closing the door, and whispered in her ear: "Xiaobei, the emperor sent me to Western Xinjiang. It seems to be a punishment, but it is actually a stopgap measure. A few days ago, when you told me about the Black Lotus Sect that you heard in Shanyuan Temple, I finally figured it out..."

"what……"

"He demoted me, but he didn't take back my military token. I have the right to dispatch the Northern Frontier Army and the Anzhou Guard... I am now going back with He Ye and Heita to protect the emperor..."

Ji Xiaobei nodded. The Great Northern Dynasty was in danger and no one could be immune.

It is Fu Jichang's duty to go back and protect the emperor.

She had no reason to refuse, even though she knew it was fraught with danger.

"Well, be careful, we're waiting for you to come back..." Ji Xiaobei said a little uneasily.

"Xiaobei, tomorrow morning, take them to Anzhou! Although nowhere is safe, the closer to the capital, the safer it is. The Western Barbarians will not be able to attack the capital for a while..."

Fu Jichang held Ji Xiaobei's hand.

Ji Xiaobei only felt that the hand was icy cold and trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll pack up here and head back. We'll meet up in Anzhou then!"

Ji Xiaobei forced a smile.

She also wanted to go back. Mrs. Lin and Shitou were all in Anzhou, and Yuyao was pregnant...

Fu Jichang has already called up Heita and He Ye.

In the dark night, three men rode to the door on horseback, and Ji Xiaobei watched them leave.

Ji Xiaobei did not alarm anyone else.

After daybreak, she just said that General Fang came to see Fu Jichang in the middle of the night and they went to the military camp.

She discussed her idea with Jiaojiao and others and wanted to return to Anzhou to avoid the war.

Jiaojiao, Huang Po and Zhao Yan said in unison: "We'll listen to you. If you say go, we'll go. If you say stay, we'll stay..."

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Ji Xiaobei said firmly.

She didn't want to leave before because Fu Jichang was here. She also didn't expect that the border protection army would be cut off from food and grass, and Yongchang Prefecture would be an empty shell.

The people here are really going to suffer.

She couldn't let her loved ones suffer, so she had to leave immediately.

She thought of the black box that fell in the yard last night. She had seen the handwriting of the young prince Li Yunjiong.

By the way, could it be Li Laoguai?

Ji Xiaobei: …

It might really be him!

In other words, it is very likely that the young prince knows every move in Western Xinjiang.

Several women had already packed up their things, and Lang Ning was loading them onto the donkey cart.

A donkey cart could not hold all the food, so they temporarily found a horse carriage and managed to fit it all in.

Ji Xiaobei was reluctant to let the little white horse pull the cart.

When the three little kids saw that they were going to move again, they were so happy because they were tired of living in this place.

But seeing that the adults all had frowned faces, the three children became much more well-behaved.

Those who hoarded the land have already fled for their lives.

I heard that Ye Tianguan and his wife took a group of people to the shelter tent in South City.

Lord Tong bought a carriage with his wife and daughter and fled from Ye County.

There are also some people whose whereabouts are unknown.

When disaster strikes, everyone runs away and no one cares about anyone else.

Although Miss Fang was a little scared, she was already used to it. There had often been small-scale wars in Ye County over the years, and her father had always won the battles. She calmly followed Ji Xiaobei and the others into the carriage.

Ma Debiao felt that the situation was not good, so he ran all the way. When he was almost reaching the south city, someone suddenly stopped his donkey cart.

Lang Ning was driving the donkey cart and suddenly jumped off the cart.

Looking closely at the person coming, isn’t this Zhang Quan, the eldest son of the Zhang family?

"Miss Ji, where are you going?" Zhang Quan shouted towards the carriage.

Ji Xiaobei opened the curtain and saw Zhang Quan.

"Let's go out of the city..." Ji Xiaobei said.

"We should also..." Zhang Quan didn't finish his words and glanced at the people around him, "Miss Ji, let's go together!"

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

Fu Jichang stayed in Zhang's house for many days after being injured, and she was very grateful to Zhang Quan.

The group arrived at the city gate.

There were a lot of people waiting to leave the city, and the scene was in chaos.

Liang Yuhui led people to the scene to conduct emergency operations.

On the edge of the city, Liang Yuhui was persuading the people not to panic and to leave the city in an orderly manner, while saying that Bian Hujun would definitely win the battle.

He has just formed a militia, and if a large number of people withdraw.

The militia will inevitably panic and be defeated at the slightest sign of trouble. They originally wanted to help the border guards, but may even become a burden.

As a senior official, he hopes that the people can keep their lives and be safe.

But as an official appointed by the imperial court and a conscientious official of the Great Northern Dynasty, he also hopes to defend Ye County and prevent the enemy's iron hoof from setting foot in the Great Northern Dynasty.

He felt himself to be a contradiction.

"Everyone can leave the city. Don't worry. Our border guards will not let the Western Barbarians attack us... I, the County Magistrate Liang, guarantee here... that the Great Northern Dynasty will not lose an inch of land..."

"County magistrate, is this true?" someone asked.

"Really? I, Liang Yuhui, guarantee it with my life. If the militia of several hundred people are organized... we will definitely win the battle..."

Magistrate Liang’s voice became hoarse from shouting.

"Liang County Magistrate, I heard that the leader of the militia has not been elected yet. The militia is just a pile of loose sand?"

Someone said this deliberately as if to sabotage someone.

County Magistrate Liang said coldly: "The selection will be made soon. General Fang has already sent someone..."

"Hmph, County Magistrate Liang, please stop lying. I've heard that the militia was spontaneously organized by the county government and has nothing to do with the Border Guard. How can you speak nonsense like that..."

The man said with a sneer.

County Magistrate Liang snorted coldly. Only people in the county government would know it so clearly. He gritted his teeth in anger.

Ji Xiaobei's carriage was parked on the side, and she heard it clearly.

She saw that Liang Yuhui had to endure so much at such a young age, which was not easy.

I am really worried about Ye County and Boling County.

Although a war was about to break out, County Magistrate Liang did not want people to panic, so he naturally had his own ideas.

Ji Xiaobei also understood.

She wrapped the gray scarf around her neck twice around her head and jumped out of the carriage.

"I am the leader of the militia!"
