I don't know who King Jing talked to about his official business today. When he came back, it was almost midnight. Bai Zhi had finished dinner and a midnight snack. She was leaning on the bed and reading a book. When she saw him come back, she said without even raising her eyelids, "Your Highness, I'm so busy today."

Chu Yunchuan blinked his eyes and smelled the smell of a storm coming: "You are not asleep yet."

"I'm waiting for you."

Bai Zhi let out a long sigh and stared at Chu Yunchuan for a long time, which made him feel creepy.

His Royal Highness Prince Jing was no fool, he had vaguely guessed some clues.

The shopkeeper Bai, who was waiting for him, simply pointed at the desk and said, "I bought some stewed clay pot today and wanted to give it to you to try. But when I got back, I remembered that you have been here for more than two months and must have eaten all the delicious food."

There was a copper basin on the desk. Chu Yunchuan lifted the wooden lid and saw a circle of steaming water inside. In the middle was a small copper basin filled with stewing water.

When in Qing County, sometimes Bai Zhi woke up late and didn't have time for breakfast. Chu Yunchuan would set aside a portion like this and warm it with hot water so that Bai Zhi could eat warm food as soon as she woke up.

The drain water in the basin was emitting a mouth-watering aroma. Bai Zhi strode over and took out two pairs of chopsticks that she had washed long ago from the pen holder next to her: "Come on, Qiansui."

Chu Yunchuan took the chopsticks and suddenly laughed, "I've never eaten stewed pot."

Bai Zhi was caught off guard: "Ah?"

"After I came to Ningzhou, I heard that the stewed tile was stewed with water, so..." Chu Yunchuan picked up a chopstick and handed it to Bai Zhi's lips, his eyebrows curved, "I kept it and didn't eat it, thinking that I would try it when I came to Ningzhou with you... It just so happened that my wish came true."

Bai Zhi's eyelids twitched.

From the moment Chu Yunchuan entered the room until now, she had been deliberately looking fierce, hoping to take the initiative and scare Chu Yunchuan first, so that the chances of him getting the truth out of him would be greater.

Unexpectedly, the Prince Jing would be the first to pour out his heart to him.

How could she keep a straight face?

Baizhi bit the minced meat that was brought to her lips. She sighed deeply in her heart and her expression finally softened.

The two of them feasted on the stewed fish. After finishing the whole pot of steamed fish, Bai Zhi wiped her mouth and looked at Chu Yunchuan who was cleaning up the mess. After thinking for a while, she decided to get straight to the point: "What else happened last night? Is it related to your work today?"

Chu Yunchuan looked calm: "We caught a few spies along the way, it's no big deal, but we have to be cautious at the border, so we spent some time with General Qiao and Lord Zheng."

Bai Zhi's eyes darkened - Chu Yunchuan was lying.

When Chu Yunchuan was at home in Qing County, he never lied, so Bai Zhi could tell what was unnatural.

He didn't even wonder why Bai Zhi asked this.

"Chu Yunchuan."

"Ok?"

"I promised you a lot." Bai Zhi cleared her throat, "In exchange, you have to promise me one thing."

Chu Yunchuan tilted his head slightly to show that he was all ears.

Bai Zhi stood up and crossed the table. Her fingertips went from his forehead to his hair. Her eyes were blazing as she said seriously, "Tell me what happened last night. If you don't tell me, then my prohibition against me talking about my past life will not count. Not only that, I will tell you stories about my past life every night before I go to bed."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunchuan's beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, and his lips trembled twice and then closed again, obviously he was really threatened.

Then for a long while, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Bai Zhi did not rush him, and she scratched his head with her fingers, just as if she was giving a massage to the busy King Jing. It was not until his arm became sore and he was about to change his hand that Chu Yunchuan made a move - he suddenly clamped Bai Zhi's wrist that was about to leave, and raised his head to look at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi was not unfamiliar with the sadness and resentment in his eyes. She had seen it many times in the Marquis' Mansion.

Chu Yunchuan said hoarsely: "I will send someone to take you back to Weizhou in a while."

"That's not the right answer, Qiansui." Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes, "What happened?"

Chu Yunchuan's throat rolled and he felt his throat tighten.

After a moment of struggle between his conscience and desire, he slowly spoke.

Last night, he interrogated the barbarians with his secret guards and got some results. Although the barbarians could not explain what seeds and flowers meant, they confessed something that shocked all the people of Dayan present - they followed their leader Wushamon to get close to the people of Dayan. Wushamon's original words were that these people would be the people of the Southern Barbarians in the future.

Chu Yunchuan was horrified when he heard this, and almost immediately realized that the peaceful days might not last long.

General Qiao was in charge of all matters related to the Ningzhou border defense. After finding out that the barbarian had bad intentions, Chu Yunchuan ordered the secret guards to bring the barbarian to the White Tiger Army and hand him over to General Qiao for personal interrogation to see if he could get more information.

This morning, as soon as he entered the White Tiger Army's tent, General Qiao told him with a sullen face that a war might break out. At noon, Tongtian Tower, one of the three most beautiful sights in the south, sent a message to the garrison - the barbarian army had made unusual movements, and a column of soldiers and horses had set out for Ningzhou, with about 50,000 men and 30,000 horses. At the current pace, it would take less than half a month to reach the border between the two countries.

An hour later, Chu Yunchuan, holding the seal of King Jing, ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.

Bai Zhi felt like she was listening to a foreign language after hearing what Chu Yunchuan said. She could understand every word, but every sentence was incomprehensible.

We originally came here to capture Ge Zhen, so why is the war starting all of a sudden?

Although Gu Feng is a worthless person, he is indeed capable. He beat the barbarians to pieces back then. How long has it been since then, and the barbarians dare to provoke Dayan again?

How could the leader of the barbarians think that the people of Ningzhou would be the people of the Southern Barbarians in the future? With just a few soldiers and generals, how could the barbarians be so confident that they could take over the iron wall of Ningzhou?

In the midst of her confusion, Bai Zhi pulled out the most important thread from her mind: "Wushameng, are you still watching?"

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

But Chu Yunchuan closed his eyes tightly and shook his head: "I lost him last night."

"That's right, even Changfeng can't catch up..."

Bai Zhi sighed deeply and suddenly felt like laughing.

Why did a war break out when she came to visit her relatives?

Even the storybooks don't write it this way.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have risked my life to capture Wushameng and Ge Zhen."

In the warm light of the room, Chu Yunchuan's voice was very low and hoarse, but he forced a smile on his face. His eyes rubbed Bai Zhi's face, and finally he held Bai Zhi's hand tightly: "You came all the way here, but I can only tell you this, I..."

"Do you think you are a god?" Bai Zhi interrupted him helplessly. Seeing Chu Yunchuan so depressed, she gradually calmed down and comforted him, "I will stay in Ningzhou. I have learned martial arts and can always help..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly woke up and said, "Qiaoqiao Chuqi!"

I almost forgot about the two children I brought with me!
