As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 468 Chen Jiawen Shuo
On the second day, the army set off to patrol the border.

I don't know whether it was because of Chen Wenzhuo's death or the accompanying Xuanjia Army, but the overall atmosphere of the patrol team was much colder and more solemn than when they first set off from Jizhou City.

The King of Zhongshan accompanied Yun Qi and was mostly silent the whole way, unlike at the beginning when he occasionally laughed and chatted.

Xie Zhaozhao rode beside Yun Qi on horseback. Dressed neatly and sharply, even if he was silent and quiet, he was still a presence that people could not ignore.

Hongxia always felt that the young lady's aura of a female general was natural when she was walking in the army.

But in fact-

Although Xie Zhaozhao grew up in the army, he had no serious opportunities to deploy troops and generals.

When Emperor Xuanwu led a group of people to conquer the world, there were mostly available people, and there were almost countless generals, big and small.

Emperor Xuanwu's descendants were more brave and good at fighting. There were so many people who actually led the troops to the front that there was no need for a girl like Xie Zhaozhao to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Therefore, Xie Zhaozhao has only participated in some relatively marginal wars at best.

She was not to mention taking the lead in the crucial war, and had little chance to participate.

But this time she dispatched the Xuanjia Army to meet Yun Qi, and she seemed to have it at her fingertips. She dispatched the soldiers, issued orders to the generals, and led the troops to break out of the encirclement in one go. It was as if she had done this thousands of times before.

Hongxia stared at Xie Zhaozhao's back and felt that her young lady was worthy of being the queen of the generals, she was really powerful.

Riding her horse to follow Xie Zhaozhao, Hongxia's eyes inadvertently glanced at the dark Xuanjia Army around her, and she sighed slightly.

This time she was the only one following Xie Zhaozhao on the border patrol.

Hongxiu had been left by Xie Zhaozhao to look after Chen Shulan in Kudu Temple.

Now that Jizhou is stable, Chen Shulan should have been taken back to the city by the Fifth Young Master, and Hong Xiu will also return to the city.

It just made her lazy, unlike him who had to accompany him.

However, it is difficult to visit this place in northern Hebei once. It is also very good to see the yellow sand of the Gobi Desert.

……

The border patrol was carried out very smoothly.

There are seven cities on the border in northern Hebei. Each city is a border fortress, with troops ready for battle to prevent Turks from raiding.

When they visited the fourth city, Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi met Chen Wenshuo, Chen Zhiji's eldest son.

Chen Wenshuo is a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows, big eyes and a handsome figure.

When he handed over his hands and reported military affairs to Yun Qi, he was steady and restrained, and his speaking speed was very well-proportioned, making him feel very trustworthy.

But after reporting the important matters, when he walked to the King of Zhongshan to pay his respects, he showed a shy smile, which looked a bit like a young man of his age.

Like a big kid.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but take another look.

After Chen Wenshuo resigned, King Zhongshan and Chen Zhiji still had something to discuss with Yun Qi, so Xie Zhaozhao also withdrew.

When leaving the tent, Chen Wenshuo was parked not far away. When he saw Xie Zhaozhao, he gave her a polite smile.

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and stepped forward: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes."

Chen Wenshuo nodded and said, "Did you give me the secret message to intercept the Turks at the Qila Mountain Pass?"

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "I passed it on, is there anything wrong with it?"

"..."

Chen Wenshuo was silent and shook his head: "No."

On that day, Chen Wenshuo received an urgent letter from the imperial courier, asking him to go and intercept the Turks.When the messenger came, he also brought His Highness King Dingxi's personal token.

Chen Wenshuo has been in northern Hebei all year round and has never been to Beijing to see His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. However, he also knows that the Emperor's eldest grandson is in Jizhou now and will soon go to inspect military affairs, so he does not dare to entrust him.

Although the letter came suddenly, I didn't expect it to be without aim, so I ordered my troops to prepare and prepare overnight.

Just when they were about to set off, Chen Zhiji arrived at night.

It turns out that Chen Zhiji came here to intercept the Turks at Mount Qala.

The Chen family has been fighting against these Turks for many years, and they know too well where internal spies will quietly attack if they join forces with the Turks.

The father and son then went to ambush and caught the group of Turks who had colluded with Chen Wenzhuo by surprise.

Later, the father and son talked about the secret letter.

When Chen Zhiji learned that the messenger was a person named Xuan Jing, he narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Chen Wenshuo asked curiously and found out that although Xuan Jing was an important figure in the Xuanjia Army, he had followed Xie Zhaozhao for a long time.

So the letter was sent by Xie Zhaozhao.

Chen Wenshuo naturally knew the origin of Xie Zhaozhao's identity, so he naturally thought that the matter of transmitting the letter was ordered by the emperor's eldest grandson very early on. However, when he just reported it, he learned from Yun Qi's words that it was Xie Zhaozhao's suggestion to convey the letter.

Chen Wenshuo and Xie Zhaozhao were the same age and had met many women, but this was the first time they met someone as smart as Xie Zhaozhao, which was a bit unbelievable.

But looking at the calm and indifferent look of the woman in front of him, with her eyes full of wisdom, he suddenly felt that this matter was nothing to make a fuss about as far as Xie Zhaozhao was concerned.

After all, he had heard a little bit about what happened in Qizhou and Danzhou.

Xie Zhaozhao, a woman, played a decisive role in these two incidents.

At this time, when he looked at Xie Zhaozhao, he didn't just regard her as "woman" or "emperor's grandson's fiancée".

"When Xiaolan and Fifth Young Master Xie got married, I was busy with border security and couldn't go back. I didn't even make it in time to attend the wedding banquet... Is she okay?" Chen Wenshuo said warmly: "She suffered a lot in the capital. I heard It’s up to you and your fifth brother to save her and take care of her.”

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "Are you on good terms with my fifth sister-in-law?"

"It's not bad... we used to see each other when I was a kid, but then we rarely met each other when I was stationed at the border. We only communicated occasionally... Our mothers died young, and we gave each other some birthday gifts at that time."

"I originally wanted to go to the capital to pick her up, but grandpa wouldn't let me. After all, I'm not her biological brother. Chen Wenzhuo just—"

Chen Wenshuo suddenly stopped talking.

Chen Wenzhuo has now become a taboo that cannot be mentioned to the Chen family.

Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "It turns out that you have some friendship... Although the fifth sister-in-law lived at Xie's house when she was in the capital, she was ill at that time and never mentioned you."

"I knew she was seriously ill at that time."

Chen Wenshuo sighed softly, "The incident in Beijing was a big blow to her. Fortunately, you are there. Although it is a little late to say thank you now, I still want to say thank you."

"Xiaolan seems to be doted on by her grandfather, but there have been very few truly happy days since she was a child. I hope she can live a happier life after arriving at the Xie family."

This is Chen Wenshuo's sincere words, but he actually has a little doubt.

Xie Changyuan is really notorious, and he is not such a reassuring gentleman.

Chen Wenshuo still cares about Chen Shulan, but unfortunately he can't do anything about the marriage.

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "I think so."

At this time, Yun Qi, King Zhongshan and Chen Zhiji came out of the account and saw Xie Zhaozhao and Chen Wenshuo talking not far away, and their eyebrows twisted slightly.
