Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Looking at the two of them, everyone hurriedly stood up and offered their seats to others.

Meixiang immediately went to get two sets of bowls and plates.

"Why are you back at this time?" Zhou Lingling looked curious.

Xiao Yan gave her a funny look and asked, "Why? Are you not welcome?"

Zhou Lingling: "...I dare not, this is your territory."

The two sat down.

Feiyu took the chopsticks and began to eat with relish, not forgetting to say:

"It has to be Sister Meixiang's cooking. I've been starving these past few days!"

Meixiang smiled and said, "Then you should eat more."

In comparison, Xiao Yan's eating style was much more elegant.

But the bowl of rice was quickly finished, which was very different from the past.

Chen was shocked: "How long have you two been hungry?"

Fei Yu didn't even look up when he replied, "Three days! Three whole days, and I only ate one piece of bread."

Tsk tsk.

Everyone immediately looked sympathetic.

Zhou Lingling even served each of them a bowl of soup.

"Eat slowly, don't choke..."

After a whirlwind of effort, everyone else went back to rest, while the Zhou family and Xiao Yan stayed in the front hall.

The thick felt cloth blocked the strong wind raging outside the door, and the fire wall and the braziers in the four corners made the large front hall warm.

Xiao Yan took the initiative to talk about what had happened in the past few days.

"That day, I received a tip from my subordinates that a small group of barbarians had bypassed the city's defenses and sneaked into Anbei City from the snowfields."

Barbarian?

Zhou Lingling and Zhou Chi immediately understood what was going on.

Zhou Laoer and his wife and Zhou Yun were completely confused.

"Mr. Xiao, this barbarian tribe sneaked into Anbei City...what does it have to do with you?" Zhou Laoer asked without understanding.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Chi immediately looked at each other.

Oops... She said she seemed to have forgotten something.

I forgot to tell my parents about Xiao Yan’s identity!

Xiao Yan was also a little stunned. He seemed to have forgotten to confess his identity to Brother Zhou and Madam Zhou.

So it's inevitable that it might seem a bit awkward to say this now.

This is the northern border, his identity could be discovered at any time, and there is no need to hide it. He had mentioned it to the little girl on the road before, and the latter patted her chest and said that she would tell her parents.

But what happened...

So Xiao Yan looked at the little girl.

Zhou Lingling: "...Ahem, um, Dad and Mom, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Zhou Laoer and Chen: "What?"

Zhou Lingling: "It's Xiao Yan, right? Northern Frontier is actually his home..."

Zhou Lao Er and Chen: "Oh! We know this."

Zhou Lingling closed her eyes and said in one breath, "The Lord of Anbei City and the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army is also him."

Zhou Laoer and Chen: “???”

What the hell?

The Lord of Anbei City?

Commander-in-chief of the Northern Army?

Isn’t that the King of Northern Frontier?

The ninth prince of Northern Frontier who committed murder and treason.

This has become a consensus among the entire Yuan Dynasty from top to bottom, even Zhou Laoer and Chen know it.

Zhou Laoer and Chen were silent, trying to digest this extremely shocking information.

To be honest, they had already prepared themselves for the fact that Xiao Yan's identity was not simple.

But no matter what, they dared not associate this pretty boy with the ferocious and evil King of Northern Frontier in the legend!

"Mom and Dad, I'll tell you about this in detail later. Let's get back to the previous topic."

Zhou Lingling asked, "A barbarian team sneaked into Anbei City. What happened then? Were they captured?"

Xiao Yan nodded, "Well, the person was caught."

Then he frowned again.

"After interrogation, we learned that their team was just one of the groups sent by the barbarians from the snowfields. Since the beginning of winter, the barbarians have sent no less than ten teams to Anbei City."

But they learned the news a few days ago.

Before this, without their knowledge, the barbarians, unafraid of life and death, secretly came to Anbei City through the snowfields that ordinary people could not pass through.

What made him even more angry was that the other party had somehow learned that he had obtained a new kind of grain from the southern region, which could survive in the northern border and produce extremely high yields.

These people sneaked into Anbei City to find out the whereabouts of the new grain.

The soil and climate in most places in the northern border are similar to those outside the Great Wall, so the crops that can be grown in the northern border can most likely be grown in the barbarian territory.

Their mission was to either get new food or destroy it.

The Northern Army and the barbarians have been in a stalemate for so many years, and a big part of the reason is that the Northern Army is short of food and clothing and cannot leave the northern border and go deep into the wilderness.

The two sides are evenly matched.

Although the barbarians were afraid of the Northern Army and Xiao Yan, they still had the courage to invade the cities in the northern border every winter for food.

Therefore, the barbarians cannot watch the northern border become prosperous, because that will be their doom.

But a month ago, he was still in the Southern Territory and had not even set out to return to the Northern Territory.

Where did those simple-minded and strong-limbed barbarians get this news?

Xiao Yan and the military advisor were both very puzzled, so after leaving the barracks, he and Fei Yu didn't even go back to the general's mansion, but went directly to find the Zhou family.

He had a gut feeling.

Perhaps here, we can find some direction.

But after hearing what Xiao Yan said, Zhou Lingling didn't understand what the other party was confused about.

"Isn't this normal?"

"When the two armies are at war, you must have sent a lot of spies to the other side, right?"

Zhou Lingling was almost accused of being a spy. Fearing being beaten, she immediately changed her words and almost bit her tongue.

Xiao Yan glanced at her and did not deny her words.

Zhou Lingling continued, "Similarly, the other side must have spies here, perhaps even in the military camp."

"You've sent several groups of people to the Southern Territory. Uncle Tie and his men may seem insignificant, but what about Lu Yuan and his men?"

"If you do this too often, it's inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will notice it."

Yunlai Town is not a military stronghold. Although their family was very careful at that time, someone with a keen eye could still find traces.

Especially those who came specifically for the Northern Army and Xiao Yan.

Just like a hyena smelling meat, it will come from thousands of miles away to check it out.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan suddenly chuckled: "I am obsessed."

The Northern Army was united and spies were rarely found in the army, so he and his military advisor naturally forgot about this incident.

spy.

Wouldn’t the Northern Army have it?

Xiao Yan himself didn't dare to guarantee it, even though he was willing to trust those brothers who had been through life and death with him.

He smiled and said calmly, "The New Year is just a few days away. Fortunately, everyone is not traveling to celebrate the New Year. We will conduct a search in Anbei City these days to eliminate the spies in the city as soon as possible. You should also pay attention to your own safety."

Since those people knew that he had returned from the Southern Region, the Zhou family might have already entered the sight of some people.

The Zhou family themselves are also very concerned about safety issues.

The whole family nodded in unison: "We have been staying at home these days and not going out."

After hearing about Xiao Yan's identity, Zhou Yun's eyes were filled with admiration, and -

I am eager to try.

Zhou Lingling saw this and teased, "Brother Xiao, my second brother has been good at finding rat holes since he was a child. It might be useful if you take him with you!"
