Chapter 257
After the convoy entered the border gate, it had to travel several miles to reach the border gate guard mansion.

Shen Yuexi took advantage of this gap to do her homework with a small note in her hand.

"...Zhao Mu is the commander-in-chief of the border gates of the Yan Dynasty. He likes to drink...he has an army of [-] under his command, and is responsible for defending the northern Xirong, Beidi and other foreign countries from invading the pass. He has a very good relationship with Qi Wang Xiaoming. When the capital was besieged , Zhao Mu did not move. It can be seen that in his heart, the importance of King Qi is even comparable to that of the emperor. The most important task of this trip is to find out what Zhao Mu thinks. If Zhao Mu can agree not to help King Qi, it will be a great achievement pieces."

These words were said by Xiao Zhuo. She was afraid that she would forget them, so she specially took a piece of paper to write them down, and specially drew two wavy lines under the words "one piece of great merit" to indicate the key points.

Xiao Zhuo didn't ask her to do her best, as long as she could figure out Zhao Mu's thoughts.

If we meet each other, should we give Xiao Zhuo's letter to Zhao Mu first, or should we greet each other first, and let's talk about family matters?It's too straightforward to write a letter directly. She and Zhao Mu have not dealt with each other formally yet, and they are not familiar with each other. It would be better to chat first...

I was thinking, when suddenly my arm hurt, as if bitten by a puppy.

Shen Yuexi turned her head to look, only to find that Xia Lan's hands were holding her upper arms. It was almost June now, and the clothes were not so heavy. She could feel Xia Lan's nails piercing through the clothes.

"Xia Lan, don't grab me so hard."

Shen Yuexi put down the note and patted Xia Lan on the shoulder.However, Xia Lan stared blankly at the gap in the car window, her whole body seemed to be turned into wood, and she didn't even react at all.

Shen Yuexi looked sideways out of the car window with some curiosity: "What's wrong?"

The convoy had already reached the gate of the frontier guard's mansion, and the wheels ran over the moss-covered, uneven flagstone ground, making a screeching sound.A group of Yan Army soldiers on patrol just passed by.In addition, the big flag standing at the gate of the tutelary mansion was pulled straight by the strong wind.There is a carriage parked beside the flag seat, which is quite luxuriously decorated.A few sergeants stood in front of the car, nothing else.

"He...he's here."

Xia Lan stared at the carriage at the gate, and her voice was so soft that it was almost like a mosquito humming. After saying these words, her teeth chattered.

"Who?" Shen Yuexi asked.

Before Xia Lan could answer, Shen Yuexi felt a chill rushing up from her back, and she knew who Xia Lan was talking about.

There can only be one person who can scare Xia Lan like this.

This person is also what she is extremely afraid of.

Xiao Beiheng.

"No... no way," Shen Yuexi also grabbed Xia Lan's arm, "Are you sure?"

"That's his car, I'll never be wrong."

Xia Lan turned her head and looked at Shen Yuexi with horror on her face: "Quick...quick...quickly leave. Let the driver turn around..."

Her teeth kept chattering, and she stuttered even when she spoke.

Shen Yuexi also had the idea of ​​running away immediately.

Having had the experience of being under house arrest by Xiao Beiheng, she was no less afraid of Xiao Beiheng than Xia Lan who had been serving as a maid in front of Xiao Beiheng.

Although there were fifty secret guards led by Qiang Lin to protect them this time, they were all given to Xiao Beiheng in front of Xiao Beiheng who had the Yanque Sword.Xiao Zhuo is the only person who can give her a sense of security in front of Xiao Beiheng.But he wants to command the whole army and cannot leave.

It is not impossible to turn around and run now.Wei Liang has a good relationship with her, so he won't stop her.But what about the task that Xiao Zhuo assigned?
In her heart, this matter is not just as simple as chatting with Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu's choice involves the victory or defeat of both parties.

"No... no," she took two deep breaths, "I can't go."

Since Xiao Beiheng is here, he must have come to Zhao Mu to persuade Zhao Mu to help them attack Xiao Zhuo.Zhao Mu now has an army of 20. If Zhao Mu agrees, then Xiao Zhuo will be in danger of being attacked by [-] troops.

King Qi is not Xiao Kai, and Xiao Beiheng is not Lin Kui.Xiao Zhuo could defeat Xiao Kai's 20 troops, but facing these three people, the odds of winning would definitely be much lower.

Once Xiao Zhuo fails, the city of Langya Pass will be lost, it was her hard work.

Whether it's for Xiao Zhuo or for her city, she can't leave.

"He will kill us," Xia Lan said palely, "Let's run away quickly, the Lord will never blame us."

Shen Yuexi turned around, picked up a handkerchief and quickly folded several layers, put it near Xia Lan's mouth and said, "Bite."

Xia Lan opened her mouth and bit the handkerchief firmly.Sure enough, the sound of teeth rattling was gone.

"Hide in the car, don't make any noise," Shen Yuexi hugged Xia Lan's trembling shoulders, "I'm going to see Zhao Mu and Xiao Beiheng."

Xia Lan nodded vigorously at first, then shook her head vigorously, pulled the veil out of her mouth and said, "Mistress, aren't you afraid?"

"Scared, but I have to go."

Shen Yuexi closed her eyes, took a few more deep breaths, and then thumped her trembling legs.

Xiao Beiheng is arrogant, so he probably wouldn't attack a woman like Zhao Mu in front of Zhao Mu. Besides, Zhao Mu is the host and she is the guest, so Zhao Mu would definitely not agree to this kind of thing happening.That way she can get things done.

When he leaves the border, if he comes to attack, let Big Bear destroy the Yan Que Sword.If everyone fought with bare hands, the fifty hidden guards would be elite Xirong sergeants anyway, so they would not be defeated so easily, so she took the opportunity to let the coachman flee in a carriage.

After she made up her mind, she became much calmer.

The carriage stopped, and Wei Liang's voice sounded from outside the car: "Concubine Zhao is waiting here, the general will go ahead and report to Zhao Shuai."

"There is General Lao Wei."

Shen Yuexi replied to Wei Liang, then turned to Xia Lan and said, "Xia Lan, see if there is anything inappropriate about me."

I'm going to see Zhao Mu soon, and she's here on behalf of Xiao Zhuo, so she can't make mistakes in her attire.

"The mistress is fine everywhere, but... her face is pale." After Xia Lan finished speaking in a low voice, she bit the veil again.

Shen Yuexi didn't believe it, so she took a mirror to look at it, and it was exactly as Xia Lan said.She knew that she was frightened, so she couldn't go to see Zhao Mu like this, and she lost her aura first.She wasn't here on an errand.

She rummaged around in the cabinet of the carriage, found a bottle of wine, uncorked it, and sniffed it first. A pungent and pungent smell came to her nostrils, which was not pleasant at all.

There was no time to hesitate, she frowned, raised her head to put the wine bottle on her mouth, and gulped down the wine in one gulp.

After drinking, she only felt that her throat was extremely hot, as if she drank a ball of fire, her throat and stomach were burning, and she covered her mouth and coughed several times.Almost instantly, her face turned red.

Xia Lan stared at her dumbfounded, and the veil fell out of her mouth: "Mistress, you..."

"Okay, your face will be normal now," Shen Yuexi turned her head and smiled at Xia Lan, "I'm getting out of the car."

Xia Lan opened her mouth wide and watched Shen Yuexi get out of the car, even forgetting to pick up the handkerchief that fell on her lap.

She has served Xiao Beiheng for many years, so she knows all about drinking.Seeing that the mistress is a person who doesn't know how to drink, how can she just down a bottle of wine.

Drinking in such a hurry and not eating anything in the stomach, even another man would be drunk.
