Sister, you traveled through time too?

Chun Ke rode away on his horse in the deep night.

He carried Xiaoyu's private seal and galloped through the night, always keeping in mind the mission entrusted by His Highness.

Xiaoyu watched Chunke go away, leaning against the door in a daze.

She felt the back of her hand that Chun Ke had kissed and smiled softly.

At this time, the night sky also quietly brightened.

The plan cannot be delayed.

Xiaoyu came to Jiang Hao and An'er's room and woke them up.

She explained everything in a few words and asked Jiang Hao and An Er to go to the grassland first.

Jiang Hao knew this was very dangerous, so he persuaded Xiaoyu to take himself and An Er with him.

After all, there are multiple capable ones.

But Xiaoyu refused.

"You must set out for the grasslands."

"The Cui family is as powerful as a mountain."

"It's impossible to mobilize all the troops in the imperial city to me. I only have the three thousand imperial guards."

"The Imperial City cannot be without soldiers stationed there, and those soldiers cannot be transferred away, as this will alert the enemy."

"To be on the safe side, Jiang Hao, I need you to head to the grassland as fast as you can!"

"When you get to the grassland, say hello to Xia Jie for me. I will also write him a letter to help you bring me as many as possible of the 10,000 Xia family cavalrymen."

"Bring your cavalry to support me in clearing out the rebels, Jiang Hao. This is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."

"do you understand?"

Xiaoyu said seriously, holding Jiang Hao's arm tightly.

After hearing this, how could Jiang Hao not understand His Highness's intentions?

He was just worried about His Highness's safety.

But he understood that if he wanted to help His Highness, he had to do as His Highness said.

This is the best help for Your Highness.

This is also an unprecedented good opportunity.

Redress!

What a great contribution.

After getting rid of the Cui and Hai families and eliminating those forces, who will own the vacant titles?

Naturally, it is reserved for the new nobles with outstanding achievements.

Who is the new elite?

Whoever rushes to the front line and protects His Highness is the new noble.

Jiang Hao held Xiaoyu's hand with a firm look in his eyes.

"Your Highness, no need to say more."

"Jiang Hao will definitely live up to his mission!"

After he said that, he solemnly held up Xiaoyu's right hand and placed it reverently on his forehead.

"Your Highness, please leave me a thought, okay?"

Jiang Hao let go of Xiaoyu, his eyes affectionate and determined.

Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him.

The young man has clear features and the emotions in his eyes are easy to guess or see.

She smiled gently and rubbed Jiang Hao's head.

"Little brat, you're still being sentimental."

Xiaoyu pretended to smile cheerfully, she looked nonchalant.

But in my heart I feel that Jiang Hao is too young.

"Here."

As she spoke, she removed the silver bracelet she always wore on her wrist.

It was a bracelet made of several small silver fish, and each fish had a strange expression.

Some were happy, some were angry, some were grinning secretly, and some were crying loudly.

This is a bracelet that Xiaoyu made specially for herself, and she takes good care of it.

I touch and play with them subconsciously every day, so each little fish is bright and glows with silver light.

Jiang Hao noticed many times that His Highness would subconsciously touch the bracelet.

He was holding the bracelet at this moment, feeling mixed emotions.

Every expression of the little fish looks like His Highness.

This is your highness's unique emotion bracelet.

He put on the bracelet solemnly and mustered up the courage to give Xiaoyu a hug.

"Your Highness, wait for me!"

Jiang Hao hugged her tightly, greedy for her warmth and fragrance.

It was not until he felt that it was time for him to set off that he finally let go reluctantly.

They said goodbye at dawn and went their separate ways.

Xiaoyu looked at his back with mixed feelings.

This young boy's feelings for himself are written in his eyes, naked and clearly visible.

But this made Xiaoyu feel inexplicably hesitant.

The young man was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, but Jiang Hao was still too young.

She didn't think the age difference was that big. After all, she was only three years older than Jiang Hao.

But she always felt that Jiang Hao was too young.

She was thinking, Jiang Hao is still young, can he really tell the difference?

Can he tell whether he likes her or wants to repay her?

She helped Jiang Hao to show his talent, helped him to be granted a title of nobility, and helped him to be appointed as prime minister.

Does he want to repay such a favor, or does he really appreciate and like it?

Xiaoyu hesitated because she herself couldn't tell the difference.

It is hard to tell whether the emotion in the boy's eyes is love or repayment.

……

Xiao Yun'er and Mei Shuo were awakened only after Jiang Hao and the others left.

After the three of them got on the carriage, Xiao Yun'er realized belatedly that half of the people were missing.

Xiaoyu did not hide anything and told them the purpose of the trip and the reason for their separation.

Xiao Yun'er nodded and understood what Xiaoyu meant.

Mei Shuo sat in the carriage with great excitement in his eyes.

But at the same time, he was also aware of the dangers of this trip.

Shu has already been the domain of the Cui family. Going there at this time would undoubtedly be like walking into a dangerous place.

He watched the sunlight filtered through the window screen of the carriage and leak onto Xiaoyu's face.

It gradually became a faint, gently swaying halo.

For a moment, all kinds of emotions intertwined in Mei Shuo's heart.

"Your Highness, are you taking such a risk just to avenge me?"

After a long while, Mei Shuo asked this question.

He knew that the situation in the imperial city was complicated, and His Highness would not risk going to Shu just for him.

But he still wanted to ask.

I would like to ask Your Highness, is there even a little bit of this because of him?

Xiaoyu looked at Mei Shuo and said gently, "It's not just because of you."

"It's more because the Cui family really threatens the imperial power."

Xiaoyu said frankly.

"But I will never break my promise to you."

"The heads of all the thieves in the Cui family are my betrothal gift to you."

Her tone was so gentle, but it had the magic to inspire people.

Every word she said was so gentle, yet powerful.

Mei Shuo suppressed his complicated emotions, he understood the value of this betrothal gift.

This is risking your life.

"Everything depends on fate. Your Highness, please remember not to take any risks on this trip."

Mei Shuo is very smart and understands all of this.

He just didn't know what to say, and in the end he only said this solemnly.

Xiaoyu patted his shoulder and smiled brightly.

"Only a betrothal gift like this, which is priceless, is worthy of our Young Master Mei."

After she said this, she leaned lazily and gently against the window.

Several people were worried and looked at the road in silence.

Such a betrothal gift was too expensive. Mei Shuo was filled with hatred and wanted revenge.

But compared to hatred, what he wanted more at this moment was for His Highness and everyone to be safe.

……

On the other side, General He Chen, who was in charge of transporting grain, also set off under the watchful eyes of all the officials.

Xiaoyu counted the days in her mind and smiled slightly.

They are not far from Shu and will reach their destination tonight.

He Chen sets out today. The army transporting food and fodder is not small, so they won’t be traveling too fast on the road.

But He Jue and Tang Zhao will definitely not be slow in taking action.

She had to deal with the Cui family, which was a huge threat, before Tang Zhao and others took action.

By then, it would take a day for the news of the Cui family's downfall to reach Hai Yi's ears.

By this calculation, the timing is perfect.

Her younger brother could take action and catch Hai Lin off guard.

Although this is a risky move, Xiaoyu is confident that he can do it.

The confidence does not come from the imperial guards or the cavalry.

But it comes from oneself.

She already had an idea in her mind about how to deal with the Cui family.

The Iron Cavalry Guards are just a backup.

Everything will have to wait until we arrive in Shu to plan.
