When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.

"Moreover, the eldest prince asked for orders to guard the West Wing City, while the third prince stayed in the royal city. The current situation is probably not good."

The man pondered for a while, frowning slightly. For so many years in Western Xinjiang, the eldest prince and the third prince each held their own side, and they were evenly matched. If the two of them cooperated, Daning might...

"Has anything strange happened in the West Wing?"

"Given Sig's personality, if he were to voluntarily withdraw from the royal city, the Third Prince would definitely have made a big move. What would it be?"

Ning Chengyan frowned. The current situation was not optimistic and the war in the west was about to break out.

If something happens in the west, it will cause a chain reaction and Daning will be surrounded by enemies. Will what happened more than 20 years ago happen again?

Do not!

It can't happen again!

The current Daning can no longer afford to admit defeat or surrender. They will continue to fight or die.

Ning Chengyan quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind and looked across.

"West Chamber City? I haven't heard of anything happening!" The man in black over there thought about it. The situation has been too serious recently. Many of them have moved from the light to the dark, trying to reduce contact as a single move could affect the entire body.

"Tell me what's so rare."

It's impossible to have nothing to do. Sig is not that idle.

But what is it?

Could it make him give up the royal city and come to a small border town? Was it enough for him to gamble everything on it, or was it that he was sure of victory?

"There is a brothel in West Wing City called Mixiangju. It is said to be the property of the eldest prince. Three days ago, Mixiangju posted a notice for a talent show competition."

"The top three will receive a large amount of gold as a reward."

"Is this a big deal?" one person frowned and said uncertainly.

West Wing City is really too small, with only a few people entering and leaving the city every day. Since it has always been on the border, how could there be any big event?

"Mixiangju?" Ning Chengyan narrowed his eyes. "What are the requirements to enter?"

"General, you can't go. Sig has seen you. It will be dangerous if he recognizes you." The two men became nervous and hurriedly advised.

"Yes, General, let's go." The man also replied.

Ning Chengyan shook his head. "The current situation is unclear. Not only is Xijiang ready to make a move, but other countries have also been restless these days. I need to find out what Xijiang is thinking."

"This time, I'll go. Prepare the invitation for me." Ning Chengyan said, and then said, "You don't need to report my coming to the Jiang family."

General Jiang's situation was not optimistic. He was also worried about Jiang's army, fearing that the news would leak out.

The timing of General Chiang's poisoning cannot help but make people suspicious.

"Yes!"

The two men looked at each other and thought a little more.

Jiang Yunchu got up in the morning, opened the window, and looked at the deserted streets outside. What's good about war?

Peaceful coexistence, isn't it?

It's just a game of power. No matter which country the people are from, they will eventually leave their homes. There is no benefit if they win, and they will become slaves of a conquered country if they lose.

"Oh." She sighed softly. She didn't have much time to worry about other countries now. As long as General Jiang's poison was not cured, the west of Daning would be shaky and not stable at all.

"Miss, I bought what you wanted." A girl's voice came from outside. The girl's father was killed by a hail of knives last night, leaving only a pile of flesh and blood. She didn't cry. She had seen this place many times and had long been accustomed to it. One day, she would be like this too.

Jiang Yunchu felt sorry for her and gave her some money so that she could bury her father. Unexpectedly, the girl followed her.

"Come in." Jiang Yunchu retracted his gaze from the window and looked towards the door instead. "You shouldn't have followed me. It's dangerous to be around me."

The girl shook her head and said, "It's dangerous everywhere, but I feel safe with you."

The young lady is a very good person. From childhood to adulthood, apart from her father, she is the first person to reach out and hold my hand. Her fingertips are a little cold, but they warm my heart.

She has no home, no relatives, and no future. She knows that the young lady is not an ordinary person, and she is willing to do anything for her.

"But... I feel uneasy." Jiang Yunchu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Taking the things she bought, she first changed into a black dress, then used gems and bells to make an anklet, which she tied around her white ankle. Every time she walked, there were bursts of sounds, jingling, dong-dong, which was very lively.

"How is it?" She took two steps and looked at Hong Gu.

Hong Gu nodded, "It looks good..."

Then he added, "That sounds good too."

Jiang Yunchu chuckled, "Tonight, I will show you what is truly beautiful."

Her hand gently stroked the anklet. She had thought of the music piece yesterday, but she had never practiced it.

There was no guqin in Western Xinjiang before, but later on, people from various countries went to Daning to compete in literature.

But he was dismissed by Meiqin.

From then on, all countries began to practice the guqin diligently, and there were countless noble ladies in Western Xinjiang who loved the guqin, so it was not surprising that she reported for the guqin this time.

"Yes." Hong Gu smiled gently and followed Jiang Yunchu.

Night falls, and the originally dark streets are lit up today.

Mixiangju is a place where people come and go, but today is different from the past. Only those who hold a post can enter. More than one hundred posts have been sold in the past few days, and there are also three hundred posts that Mixiangju has given away on its own initiative.

"This is so beautiful." Hong Gu stood behind Jiang Yunchu and looked at Mixiangju. Mixiangju was a place for men to have fun. She had never been there before, let alone seen it.

This was the first time she had seen it. She looked at the lady with the veiled hat and asked softly, "Miss, are you sure you want to go here?"

Jiang Yunchu nodded, "It's here."

"Hong Gu, I don't know if I can leave alive, and I don't know where I will go in the future. If I hadn't looked for you, I would have left some money on the table in the inn. If you live a good life, it would be a token of our friendship."

She was just a passer-by who came and went in a hurry, while Hong Gu was a native of the West Chamber.

Her future choices will depend on others.

But Hong Gu can make her own decision.

"Miss, I must follow you. I will be yours in life and your ghost in death. I will not go anywhere." Hong Gu was a little anxious. She couldn't help but pull Jiang Yunchu's sleeve. Her voice was fast and sharp, with some urgency.

Jiang Yunchu patted her hands and said, "Then stay here and wait for me to come find you."

She couldn't take her away...

She herself didn't know whether she could get the medicine or whether she could survive...
