Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 17 Destination

"What's going on here? Doesn't seem quite right?" Lifting the thin window screen, the snow-clothed girl looked out the window with some doubts. She came all the way from Qingyang. After running for three full days, she found that the situation seemed to have changed. Although there were still many caravans on the road, she could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere, especially the large number of military vehicles on the road and the government The requisitioned means of transport come and go frequently, and soldiers of the established army can be seen everywhere. This is quite different from the situation at the Zhegu Pass just after entering Zheguguan, and it does not fit the style of the Northwest Military and Political Jiedufu that I heard during this period.

"Well, sister, look, it seems that the situation has changed in the past few days. Why are there transport teams with official requisition marks on the road?" The girl with a slightly foreign accent also looked confused. The color, "Could it be that something major happened in the northwest? Or is there going to be a war?"

"War?" The snow-clothed girl was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't it said that the situation in the Western Regions has eased? What else will happen? But looking at the "Northwest Star" for the past two days, it seems that because of the Northwest The cause of death of Sun Yuanliang, the former city guard of Yinchuan Mansion, is a serious issue, and I don’t know if there is another conflict between the Northwest and the Xisluo people in the north?"

"Well, sister, do you think it's possible? Although public opinion is raging, do you think Northwest will take the initiative to provoke the Sithrow people at this stage? It's unlikely at this stage, don't you think?" With a slight The tone of the foreign accent sounds with an elegant magnetic charm, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable.

Unexpectedly, her inappropriate words would be exposed by the other party immediately, the snow-clothed girl was taken aback for a moment, and said after a little thought: "Everything is changing with the passage of time, and everything exists too much." Variables, especially the political aspects are more difficult to determine. With Li Wufeng's temperament, will he tolerate the separatism of local forces that are colluding with foreign hostile forces? You must know that the Ganlan Fortress is not only the hub of the northbound business route, but more importantly, if Let the Sithrow people control it, then the threat to the Northwest will be too great."

"Oh? Sister, what you mean is that as long as he seizes the opportunity, Li Wufeng will do everything possible to take back Ganlan Fortress, without even considering his own current situation?" The girl with an exotic accent is naturally Sophia. Her dimples were tightly covered, making it more difficult for outsiders to see her true face clearly, and the person riding in the same carriage with her was naturally Lin Yuexin. Although Lin Yuexin hadn't masked her face, although she had only made a slight adjustment to the exquisite disguise technique, her peerless appearance suddenly became very ordinary and dull, without attracting attention at all.

Seeing her companion's aggressive questioning, Lin Yuexin smiled lightly and said: "Sister, you are serious. This is just a girl's random guess, and it can't be true. I heard that Li Wufeng is quite knowledgeable. The girl is thinking, he should It will not be a long-term stalemate like this, but when a conflict will break out, you have to ask him to know. However, the newspapers in the past two days have been full of propaganda and momentum. It is hard to say that the Northwest deliberately provokes public opinion. How about gaining the support of public opinion. You must know that there are wars everywhere now, and only the situation in the northwest is relatively stable. The common people may not necessarily support this war. It will be much more difficult to carry out a war without the basis of public opinion. From Li Wufeng From his performance over the past few years, we can understand that he is a guy who pays more attention to public opinion, at least on the surface."

Although it was her own unintentional remarks, Lin Yuexin, who is very eloquent, can also give the reasons for her opinions out of her wits.

Shaking her head slightly, Sophia obviously disagreed with the other party's statement, "Sister's words are wrong. Although my sister doesn't understand military affairs, she also knows that in war, surprise is the most important thing, and it seems that Li Wufeng is also accustomed to this method from what you said the past two days. If this is a veteran who has made a big fanfare before the war, isn’t it intentional to remind the other party to prepare for war? Then how can he seize the opportunity? Isn’t this self-defeating?”

Glancing at the other party in surprise, Lin Yuexin also had to admire the sharpness of the other party's words. Although she didn't know the real identity of the other party, she could deduce that the other party must be a person who came to the northwest on behalf of a certain force in the imperial capital. It was difficult for her to guess the purpose of the other party's visit to the northwest. After these few days of contact, both parties have become acquainted with each other a lot. The innate noble temperament of the other party is definitely not something that ordinary officials and eunuchs can develop. She even doubts whether the other party is a child of a royal family member in the empire, but It can be clearly seen that the other party's foreign blood, and the royal family has many foreign women married, and their children are also countless, she has no way of understanding it for a while. It's just that although there are many princesses and princesses in the royal family of the empire, there are very few outstanding ones. If the other party's appearance is not very different from the women of the Tang family, she really doubts that the other party is either the thirteenth princess of the empire Situ Yushuang or the eighteenth princess Situ Jade is real.

Just as Lin Yuexin guessed the other party's identity again, Sophia was also thinking about the other party's origin. With her keen sense, she could imagine that the other party must be an important figure in the two major feudal towns of the Southern Empire, especially It is even more suspicious that such a young woman can have such extraordinary insights. It's just that according to the outside rumors, although Lin Yuexin looks weak and celestial, her physical condition is extremely poor, and she never leaves the house for half a step, so Sophia still can't compare this girl with a mediocre face but no abnormal body in front of her with a gorgeous girl. The jade fox Lin Yuexin, who was famous all over the empire in Guan Sanjiang, got in touch.

The two girls are generally exquisite and cautious, but the time spent together in the same car made the two girls unknowingly put down a lot of their guard, many common topics, elegant conversation, noble The demeanor makes the two girls subconsciously regard each other as a rare confidant, although they still have a final bottom line in their hearts.

"Hehe, sister, I don't think there is any need for us to argue and speculate anymore. We will soon arrive at Qingyang City. When we get there, I think we should be clear about such a big movement. No one is afraid to hide it from others. Yes." Lin Yuexin smiled coquettishly, and put down the window screen casually, the wheels of the carriage were rumbling, and slowly approached the majestic east gate of Qingyang Mansion.

As the carriage approached, in front of the long city gate, several soldiers stood aside holding their swords and holding their swords. Two patrolmen also came forward to signal the two carriages to stop for routine inspection.

"Hey, how could an army soldier come to check?" Glancing outside, the careful Lin Yuexin immediately noticed the abnormality.

The masked Sophia also discovered this. Along the way, starting from entering the Partridge Pass under the control of Li Wufeng, passing through Yangmakou, and passing through Bonan Mansion, the three checkpoints with garrisons were guarded by garrisons. , but no army soldiers were found to participate in the routine inspection, at most they were patrolling the city tower, but today there are army soldiers here to cooperate with the inspection. Could it be that my behavior has aroused the other party's vigilance?

Although the two daughters were a little nervous, they were not too worried. After all, this was already the capital of the Northwest, not under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Army. Even if there were any accidents, I believe it would not be a big problem. Through the curtain of the room, the second woman quietly watched the patrolmen and soldiers who came forward to check.

"Excuse me, please cooperate and open the cage, this car, open the curtain!" The tone is still kind, but the tough attitude in the tone is unquestionable.

On the wharf, the two women's attendants also cooperated with each other to open the cage and lift the curtains. Seeing that there was nothing particularly obtrusive, the inspectors and soldiers were not too embarrassed, and nodded to indicate that they could pass.

"Is there something wrong with these military masters? How could a military master come to inspect us? Is there something wrong with us?" Lin Yuexin, who was still sitting firmly in the carriage, couldn't help but start She asked, she really couldn't see anything unusual about Qingyang, the surrounding atmosphere seemed very normal, but why would the army intervene in this kind of affairs, which are usually inspected by the internal police department to check the business travelers entering and leaving the city?

"Hehe, Miss misunderstood. According to Master Li's order, all the prefectures in Northwest County and North Luzon Special Administrative Region have been under martial law. All prefectures and cities are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave. They are temporarily closed. These few are here to cooperate with us in charge of martial law affairs .” Instead, the two patrolmen explained with a smile.

"Martial law?! Why is there martial law? Is there going to be a war?" Pretending to be terrified, Sophia also asked in a trembling tone.

"You two girls, don't worry, our northwest is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Li. Don't worry, no one will dare to stroke the tiger's beard~IndoMTL.com~ The patrolman smiled and comforted the two girls, his tone full of pride, "I want to Back then, Luobei people were so majestic, didn't they bow their heads in despair in front of Master Li? Now, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, isn't that lighting a lamp in the hut-looking for death (photographing shit)? "

"But why is there martial law?" Lin Yuexin asked with a smile on her face. Although her face was completely concealed by the disguise technique, seeing a young woman asking so flatteringly made the patrolman quite relieved.

Seeing that several soldiers had already left to the city gate, the patrolman lowered his voice and cast a mysterious glance around, saying, "This is a military secret. The people below don't know about it, but I heard that the Loulan people in Northern Luzon provoked it." Something, it annoys Master Li, and I don’t know if Master Li is going to the Western Regions to argue with them?"

Seeing such a piece of news after putting in so much effort, Lin Yuexin couldn't help but feel ridiculous. After thinking about it, if the patrol guard guarding the city gate can also know the inside information, then Li Wufeng's Northwest is really It became a joke, but he still nodded and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for the news, alas, our sisters are talking about going to Gaochang to visit relatives, it seems that it will not be possible."

After finishing speaking, pretending to sigh softly, "Doesn't it mean that you have to stay in Qingyang City, and I don't know how long you will stay?"

"Girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to go anywhere now, not only this Qingyang Mansion, but Master Li ordered that the six northwestern mansions and the two northern Luzon mansions have to do so, so you just have to wait patiently." Wait, I guess it won't be too long. In the past few months, martial law has been imposed on the investigation of the Taiping cult and rebellious party, and the ban will be lifted in a few days. It's okay, and it won't delay your business." A companion was already calling him, "Old Wu Wu, you can't **** walk when you see a woman? Be careful when the whistle chief is here, you can't eat and walk around."
