As joyful as everyone in the Pei residence was yesterday, they are now as disappointed.

Each one looks like an eggplant hit by frost, with its head drooping.

Nanny Zhang turned away and wiped her eyes. Nanny Zheng came over and said to her, "When did you become so melancholic?"

"Do you really want to make the old lady cry?"

"Stop it now! If everyone starts crying, I'll tell you how I'm going to scold you!"

Aunt Zhang pushed her away and said, "Go away!"

"Aren't I thinking of Old Deng?"

"We are all old."

"Although birth, old age, sickness and death are common to everyone, you have been traveling all over the country with the girl, and your life is not as stable as ours now."

"If someone does something bad again..."

Li Qingluo heard this and came over to comfort her: "Don't worry, Ma'am. I won't let Ma'am Zheng go to the front lines. When she comes back next time, I'll let her prepare to live out her days in peace."

"From now on, you can all stay with grandma, spending your retirement anywhere, or even traveling around. Is that okay?"

Li Qingluo is sincere.

The maids around my grandmother should all be enjoying their retirement like my grandmother.

I can't bear to see him continue to fight with me.

They have been busy with their grandmother all their lives, fighting on the battlefield and competing in the business world.

After working hard all their lives, it is time to enjoy their old age.

When Aunt Zhang heard Li Qingluo say this, she was shocked: "Miss, this is not what I meant!"

"This old slave just has some, oops!"

"Madame Zheng, please don't blame me!"

Nanny Zheng was so angry that her face turned green.

She snorted heavily with her nose flaring: "You still say that!?"

"If you don't want me anymore, I'll beat you up!"

"Girl, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm still very strong! I can kill a thing with one punch... well, I can even kill a sheep."

"Please don't abandon me. I want to travel with you all over the country and do great things."

"It's not time for me to retire yet. How can I give up now?"

"Madame Zhang is just jealous of me, that's why she says these inexplicable things with sore eyes."

"girl……"

Nanny Zheng was about to cry with anger.

Aunt Zhang rubbed her fingers.

She was indeed a little too sentimental just now, so she said some nonsense. Who knew that the girl took it seriously?

Li Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay!"

"Can we talk about this later?"

"Let's say goodbye properly first."

However, this actually eased the somewhat sentimental atmosphere a lot.

Mrs. Pei smiled and shook her head.

"Luo'er, come back early."

"Grandma knows you're young and full of energy, but the world is far from peaceful. You need to take care of your own life."

“Only by living can we have hope to continue moving forward.”

"Did you hear that?"

How could Madam Pei not be worried?

This is the only one she loves.

Li Jingchuan is a grandson, but Luo'er is unique. In Mrs. Pei's heart, he is a completely different existence.

But she couldn't express her concern too clearly.

Because young people can't listen.

Li Qingluo hugged Madam Pei tightly and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving now."

"Take care of yourself."

After saying that, she turned to Li Jingchuan and nodded to the three masters and apprentices of Jinhuan who remained.

"My whereabouts are unknown during my trip to the Western Regions, so you don't need to write to me."

"Whether Alan is pregnant with a nephew or a niece, I have already prepared a gift for them. It's in the room I stayed in last night."

"Grandfather, grandmother, senior sister, brother, sister-in-law and A-Duo..."

"And everyone!"

"We'll meet again later!"

"drive--"

With a strong swing of the whip, the horse under his crotch immediately took the lead and rushed out.

Everyone waved goodbye to them reluctantly, praying in their hearts, "Come back soon."

A month later, Mantuo City.

Que'er pushed the door open and walked in.

"Girl, the wind is breaking."

As she spoke, she moved aside, revealing the tattered wind behind her.

"Your subordinate Pofeng, here to see the princess!"

Pofeng knelt on the ground and paid homage respectfully. Li Qingluo immediately stood up and helped him up personally.

"Pofeng, it's been almost two years since we last met, right?"

When Duan Rongshi married me in Miaojiang, news of the Queen Mother's death came from Jinling on the wedding night.

Duan Rongshi immediately left Miaojiang with his three guards.

The broken wind has not appeared since then.

Duan Rongshi pretended to be dead on the battlefield, and later took Leng Dian and Zhui Yu with him, but there was no news or trace of Pofeng.

They didn't mention Pofeng's life or death, so Li Qingluo always knew that Pofeng must have gone to do other tasks.

Sure enough, he had been lurking in Mantuo City, and now, he had become the lord of Mantuo City.

I heard from Zhui Yu that he now has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Mantuo City alone.

Mantuo City is located at the junction of Daliang, Da Chu and the Western Regions, and has always been a city that has been fought over.

It was once conquered by the Pei family army of Daliang and had been under the jurisdiction of Daliang for twenty years.

The people finally lived in peace for twenty years.

Later, without the Pei family army, Daliang was snatched away twice by the Western Regions who deliberately provoked trouble.

It was only last year that Prince Su recaptured the city of Mantuo back to Daliang.

Unfortunately, because there was a traitor in Daliang, and the people in the Western Regions colluded with each other to set a trap for King Su, King Su was "killed in battle" on the battlefield.

The whole country of Daliang was in great grief, but also afraid that Mantuo City would be captured by the Western Regions again.

The war between Daliang and the Western Regions will break out completely.

However, unexpectedly, the Western Regions did not capture the city of Mantuo by force.

This is because after the death of King Su, Mantuo City was quickly occupied by a new force.

This force is coming with great force and powerful fighting capacity.

More importantly, no one knows who is behind him.

All we know is that people call him - King Lan Hai!

However, the identity of King Lan Hai remains a mystery. No one has ever seen his true face, and no one knows where he came from or when he was born.

All I know is that the current lord of Mantuo City is his man!

So this Mantuo City is now the territory of King Lanhai.

The Western Regions have tried many times to capture Mantuo City, but they were always beaten badly, like a stray dog.

The Western Regions then turned around and attacked the Great Chu, forcing it to lose several cities.

However, soon, the ambitions of the Western Regions were completely exposed.

Because even Li Qingluo discovered that the cities swallowed by the Western Regions, except for the territory of Daliang, all the cities lost by the Great Chu formed a circle around the city of Mantuo.

Today, the Western Region has already drawn half a circle.

Perhaps next, they will begin to test Daliang and try to swallow up the cities that Daliang has surrounded Mantuo City.

It wanted to completely surround the city of Mantuo and then slowly devour it.

This is also why, although it was only a few hundred miles away, it took Li Qingluo nearly a month to reach Mantuo City.

Apart from the detours, the cities of the Great Chu that were occupied by the Western Regions along the way were full of the miserable conditions of the people who were affected by the war and invaded by the Western Regions.

Li Qingluo could not rescue them.

But we can't just stand by and watch.

After doing some things along the way, I finally arrived at Mantuo City.

Seeing Pofeng, she was naturally very happy.

"I know you're busy. But I do need your help with something."

Pofeng: "It is only right for the princess to summon me. If it weren't for Zhuiyu, I wouldn't have known that the princess had come to Mantuo City."

"I truly deserve to die!"

Li Qingluo smiled and shook his head: "From now on, just focus on your own business. We will still be two groups that don't know each other."

"You came quietly this time, so leave quietly later."

"Also, for the sake of convenience, please call me Miss in private from now on."

Po Feng pondered for a while, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "But if anything happens to the princess, I won't be able to explain to Your Highness."

Li Qingluo: "What could possibly happen to me? Do you not believe in Zhui Yu, or my Twenty-Seven Kills?"

"Pofeng, before coming to the Western Regions, I didn't even know you were here. It was His Highness who told me that you were in Mantuo City and could be of use to me."

"But perhaps my appearance will disrupt your affairs, so unless necessary, I will not mobilize your troops."

"Even now, I still won't ask what you plan to do."

"Your Highness doesn't say it, it means the time is not right yet."

"So, you just keep doing your thing, and I'll do mine."

Pofeng was deeply moved when he heard that she was so sensible.

"Yes, Princess! Pofeng obeys your command."

Li Qingluo: "I came to Mantuo City this time to enter the Western Regions. Therefore, I may need your help as the Lord of Mantuo City."

Po Feng immediately replied, "If you need anything, Miss Wang...just let me know."

Li Qingluo knew that Pofeng was always the most reliable.

So don't beat around the bush with him.

He began to speak, "My people have gathered information and have returned. So I know that the Daliang bridegroom's contingent is almost arriving in Yingcheng."

"Eagle City is only ten days' journey away from the Western Region's capital, Hala City. Therefore, I must catch up with the wedding procession before it reaches Hala City."

"Can you help me?"

Po Feng thought for a moment before replying, "Miss, do you know that the Western Regions have now banned caravans from Daliang and Da Chu from entering the territory?"

Li Qingluo: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have summoned you."

Po Feng: "So, if we disguise ourselves as a caravan, it won't work."

"Miss, please let me think about it again."

Li Qingluo turned around and poured a cup of tea for Pofeng himself.

Pofeng took it with both hands and remembered something.

"The Western Regions Imperial Court did not send anyone to greet Daliang during this marriage."

"When they passed through Mantuo City, they were probably wary of its current reputation, so they didn't stay inside. They only camped a hundred miles outside the city for one night before hurriedly continuing on their way."

"Miss, if I had taken the initiative to rescue Princess Nanping, you wouldn't have to worry about this now."

Li Qingluo: "You want Mantuo City to become the target of public criticism from both Daliang and the Western Regions?"

"It's not the right time yet, there's no need to cause trouble."

"I'll take care of this matter."

Li Qingluo: "Besides, I must go to Eagle City for my master."

Po Feng: "I have also heard that the young lady went to the Western Regions for Mr. Nangong?"

Li Qingluo: "Yes. Master was kidnapped by the Queen Mother of the Wusun Kingdom, the thirteen kingdoms of the Western Regions, that is, Princess Anar of the Imperial Court."

"Anar is currently in Eagle City."

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I must set off in two days at most!"

Po Feng: "How about we pretend to be a marriage team?"
