The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Hua Xin and his companions finally arrived at Liaocheng before dark after rushing.

Beyond Liaocheng is Shaocheng, which is at most half a month's journey from Mingdu.

In this way, New Year's Eve can be spent in the palace.

Ye Lansheng would send a letter to the palace every once in a while, and also tell Hua Yuxing about their movements.

This led to Hua Yuxing and Ye Qingyao exchanging letters in the imperial study after every court session, and seeing if there was anything that was not mentioned in their respective letters.

Hua Xin was somewhat disappointed. She had thought that she would meet Hua Moxuan on the way, but she heard from Ye Lansheng that the matter at Beishan could not be resolved so quickly. In his own words, "This matter involves a lot of people, and the people behind it have obvious ambitions. It will take time and effort to deal with it."

Therefore, Hua Xin no longer held out hope. At worst, everyone could just get together again in Mingdu!

Accustomed to the cold in the north, she actually felt a little warm when she arrived in Liaocheng.

"Finally, I don't have to wear a heavy cloak anymore."

After getting off the carriage, Hua Xin took a deep breath.

As they were in a hurry, they spent most of the time in the carriage. Now they didn't feel that cold anymore, so Hua Xin came up with an idea.

She walked to Ye Lansheng's side, pointed at his horse and said, "Third brother, I want to ride a horse for the rest of the journey."

Ye Lansheng looked at Hua Xin and then at his own horse. The scene of her riding a horse appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt it was too difficult to imagine and could only shake his head.

This move was considered a rejection by Hua Xin, but she was not discouraged. She pointed at Tian Yang's horse and said, "Then I'll ride Tian Yang's horse. His horse probably doesn't look as fierce as yours."

Tian Yang, whose name was called, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you must not do that. My horse has a fierce temper. If it were a stranger, he would definitely get hurt."

"Oh? Then I'll communicate with it."

Hua Xin came to Tianyang's side. His horse was completely black, with only some white hair on its mane and tail.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Jueying."

"Hmm? Jueying? Good name, sounds fast."

"That's right. Apart from Master Mo Yun, my Jueying runs the fastest. It feels like he's flying, leaving no trace behind."

"Okay, got it."

Hua Xin came to Fei Xia, touched its mane, then went to its ear and muttered something. The horse actually began to rub Hua Xin's head.

It looked so intimate as if Hua Xin was its owner.

Tianyang had a look as if he had seen a ghost, and in the blink of an eye Hua Xin had already jumped on the horse.

"Xinxin, since you're riding a horse, put on your cloak. It's windy."

Nangong Ziqiu approached Hua Xin holding her plush cloak. Hua Xin reached out to take it and swung it gently. The cloak flew across the sky and soon covered her body.

She tied a bow casually, tightened the reins, and gently lifted the horse's belly, and Jueying walked back and forth obediently.

"You're so good. I'll just run around here for a few laps. You guys go into the city first!"

"Since it's just a few laps, I'll just follow you."

Ye Lansheng climbed onto Mo Yun’s back and started running after Hua Xin.

"Let's go! We have to find a place to stay in advance, and order the dishes. You know what your master likes to eat, right?"

Nangong Ziqiu said to Tianyang.

"Of course I know, it's the princess's taste..."

"I know that, so let's act together later!"

Nangong Ziqiu returned to the carriage. Hua Xin was not there, but the carriage was filled with her scent.

With Ye Lansheng around, these two people will definitely be able to find them.

The suburbs of Liaocheng have been in unrest lately. As soon as dark falls, many criminals roam around here.

The sound of the wind whistled past my ears. Hua Xin's horsemanship was first-rate, but she hadn't had the chance to show it off since she traveled through time and space for so long.

Now that I have the opportunity, I must run wildly.

Ye Lansheng followed slowly at first, but then he found that Hua Xin had sped up, so he had to let Mo Yun catch up. For a moment, the scenery on both sides blurred into one, and when they stopped, they had no idea where they were.

"Third brother, are we lost?"

There were similar trees all around, and Hua Xin couldn't tell the directions for a moment. She suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"Probably!"

Ye Lansheng was not familiar with this area, but he had seen it in the geography book. It was nothing more than a forest on the outskirts of Liaocheng.

Just go back the way you came.

It’s just that it’s a rare opportunity for him and Hua Xin to have some time alone, so he hopes to go back later.

"Don't be afraid of getting lost. Jueying can find his master. We can just let him lead the way."

Ye Lansheng glanced at Jueying and said nothing for the time being.

His plan went wrong, and he couldn't let Jueying disappear on the spot, so he could only let Mo Yun follow him.

"My beautiful lady, how dare you walk alone on the official road at this late hour?"

A very abrupt sound came from the intersection ahead, and then several men in black jumped down from the tree and blocked Hua Xin's way.

Ye Lansheng, who was following beside him, said unhappily, "She is a human being, and I am not a human being?"

"Wow, what a big guy!"

"Didn't you see it just now?"

"Didn't you see it?"

"So what if you saw her? She will be killed soon anyway. But this young lady must be captured."

Hua Xin and Ye Lansheng saw that the people in front were talking to themselves, and they knew their identities without asking.

"Hey, what do you guys want to do?"

Hua Xin didn't want to listen to their nagging, but it seemed that these people came prepared, and there might be quite a few of them. These few were probably the vanguard.

"Young lady, can't you see it's so obvious?"

The person who spoke was a big, sturdy man with a full beard, and it was almost impossible to tell what he looked like.

"I can't tell. If you want to chat, just go away. I don't have time to listen to your chatter."

As Hua Xin finished speaking, another person shouted, "How dare you! We are trying to rob you. Hand over all the valuables on you."

Hua Xin looked at herself, then at Ye Lansheng, and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't bring anything with me. I only had one person and one horse."

"I think this horse is good. Even the saddle can be sold for a lot of money. And the man's clothes are also valuable."

"Didn't you expect the robbers in Liaocheng to be so rampant? They robbed on the official road in broad daylight, but are there people protecting you behind the scenes?"

Ye Lansheng had a lot of things in his mind. This was the country of Da Xia, and such a thing actually happened in Liaocheng. Either the local government was incompetent, or they were in cahoots with the corrupt. Otherwise, they could not be allowed to act tyrannically.

"You can pretend to be a fool if you want to, but we have Master Jia backing us up. Master Jia is the younger brother of the wife of Concubine Yu's elder brother."
