Will the invading army risk attacking the city, in this regard, Chang Xun snorted, Dingbian City has 50,000 Dongzhou state troops stationed, it can be said to be unbreakable, and then there are 10,000 forbidden army heavy infantry of the Rock Legion and Chang Xun's 20,000 forbidden army cavalry stationed outside the city, echoing each other inside and outside the city, even if the invading army attacks with all its strength at any cost, it is impossible to occupy Dingbian City.

As for the invading army changing its goal to attack the ancient bell city? Yuan Fang and others also considered this possibility, but the ancient bell city also has a good defensive force, plus the Rock Legion and the Tiger Roar Legion can go to support at any time, the invading army of the Ningyuan Empire can't get any benefits, and besides, the enemy army invades on a large scale, and it is impossible for the county to sit idly by, so Chang Xun and the others agreed that they are just bluffing and not to worry, so Yuan Fang will decide to immediately go to Qinghe on the border of Nanping County to find Yang Xing's lost jade pendant.

The Qing River, meandering and long, runs through the north and south of the empire Beizhou, Dongzhou, Nanping County until the eastern estuary of Nanzhou, rich in aquatic products, and is also one of the main transportation waterways of the empire, the section of the river where Yuan Fang and Yang Xing met is not the main channel of the Qing River, but an irrigation canal that drains, the local people named it Maiqing River, the river is not deep and not turbulent, which is also one of the reasons why Yuan Fang came here, otherwise if the water flow is too fast, then Yu Pei will not know where it was washed away, and they came in vain.

There is a long distance from the front line to the destination, even if it is non-stop, it will take ten days, plus salvage, if it goes smoothly, it will take about a month at the earliest.

Yang Xing, the identity of the third prince, has just been made public, and he will definitely encounter a lot of troubles like this, Yuan Fang is very worried, but there is no way, this matter is very important, and the place where the jade pendant was lost is only known to Yuan Fang and Yang Xing, and he must come over in person.

At noon on the fifth day of departure, Yuan Fang, who had changed into civilian clothes, sat on the side of the post road to rest, Yuan Fang threw the last piece of wheat cake into his mouth, poured a sip of cold water, and a chill spread throughout his body, and the whole person was in good spirits, but the tiredness on his face was difficult to hide.

Yuan Fang and his entourage have a total of six people, among which Huo Bingyan, Ouyang Xianxue, and Yu Jingqiu are all female soldiers in Nanping County, and like Jieyue, they have all received Xia Liang's great kindness, and they are extremely loyal to Yuan Fang's brother-in-law, and the other two are named Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Shuigen, they are all Lei Hua's personal guards, they are good, and they are also old acquaintances of Yuan Fang.

After a few days of getting along, several people also got acquainted, Huo Bingyan, Ouyang Xianxue, and Yu Jingqiu kept calling Yuan Fang their brother-in-law, and Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Shuigen called Yuan Fang Doctor Yuan, but they didn't attract too much attention from others along the way.

Ouyang Xianxue fiddled with her clothes and walked to Yuan Fang's side: "Brother-in-law, this dress is not comfortable to wear at all. ”

Yuan Fang looked at Ouyang Xianxue, who was covered in flowers, and said with a smile: "Isn't it very good-looking, it's much stronger than a military uniform." ”

Ouyang Xianxue pouted and said, "Is it beautiful?" How do I not think? It feels weird. ”

Yuan Fang quipped: "That's because you've been wearing a military uniform for too long, just get used to it for a few days, girls, you should dress up more." ”

Wang Tiezhu smirked and said, "That's it, Xian Xue's body is much more beautiful than before, hehe, hehe." ”

Ouyang Xianxue glared at Wang Tiezhu: "What are you laughing at, I didn't let you see it." Wang Tiezhu didn't care, still smirking.

Yuan Fang smiled bitterly, it's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, although Wang Tiezhu is not a hero, but he is also a tough guy with iron bones, but in front of Ouyang Xianxue, he is like an idiot who has just been discharged from the hospital, and the image of a tough guy is ruined.

But you can't blame Wang Tiezhu entirely, Ouyang Xianxue can be regarded as a beauty, different from everyone's beautiful and rich daughters, her beauty is not powdered, straightforward and heroic, free and easy, capable, typical military style, plus cheerful personality, so that countless men yearn for it, Wang Tiezhu is one of them.

Compared with Wang Tiezhu, Zhao Shuigen is much calmer, he has been in the army for many years, has been by Lei Hua's side, and now he is close to thirty years old and has not yet started a family, facing Ouyang Xianxue's three young and beautiful girls, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but he was self-aware and pressed that impulse in his heart, because he could see that Ouyang Xianxue's three daughters did not have the slightest thought about themselves and Wang Tiezhu.

Seeing that Yuan Fang was silent, Zhao Shuigen leaned over and said, "Doctor Yuan, are you worried about Your Highness again?" ”

Yuan Fang sighed and said, "I don't know how that kid is doing now." ”

Zhao Shuigen smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there is something, His Highness will send someone to inform us." ”

Yuan Fang nodded, stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks: "Okay, let's continue on our way." ”

Yu Jingqiu cried and said, "Brother-in-law, when will it arrive, my bones are about to fall apart." ”

Yuan Fang shrugged: "It's almost there, just hold on to it." ”

Huo Bingyan pouted and said, "You've said this several times. Yuan Fang smiled embarrassedly, and everyone turned over and rode away.

Not long after Yuan Fang and his party left, a group of cavalry came to Yuan Fang's previous resting place and stopped, and the generals led by them frowned and looked at the horse manure in the grass and the food scraps on the side of the road and were silent.

A cavalryman complained: "Captain Huang, this has been followed for five or six days, the brothers have not rested much, and if they continue like this, they will not be able to hold on. ”

Captain Huang glared at his subordinates: "You shut up for me." The man was so frightened that he craned his neck and did not dare to say anything more.

In fact, Captain Huang was also depressed, the day after Yuan Fang set off, he received an order to follow all the way, and Yuan Fang and his party always maintained a certain distance, for a few days, Yuan Fang and they have been on the road, and occasionally stop to rest for a long time, they can only rest a little at this time, and they have to be vigilant at all times, so that both people and horses are already exhausted, but there are no new instructions from above, they can only follow from afar.

Two more days passed, and the city of Qiuyuan County appeared in everyone's sight, Yuan Fangxiao slowed down and said with a smile: "It's finally almost here, let's have a good night's rest in Qiuyuan County tonight, and then we will go tomorrow morning." ”

Ouyang Xianxue said excitedly: "Great, I can finally take a shower and sleep well." ”

Huo Bingyan said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have to invite us to eat something good, I haven't even drunk hot water in the past few days, and my stomach is about to freeze." ”

Yuan Fang said in high spirits: "Cheng, no problem." ”
