The huge afterglow and screams dissipated. The fire in the city walls of Tongguan in the distance were cleared. The sound of horse hooves and footsteps of people mixed together, spreading out from the pass and rushing towards this place.

Then Zhang Huaiyi led a dozen cavalrymen to stop him, and threw them to the other party to indicate their identity, saying that they were arresting the kidnappers who escaped from Chang'an, and asked the guards who had been out of the pass to patrol back.

The Shence Army was Chang'an Rongwei, and the local soldiers could not match it. The generals of Tongguan were naturally aware of it. They handed over the token to Zhang Huaiyi and said goodbye and returned to the pass.

The remaining bonfires were extinguished, and the swaying light was like a dividing line that cut the east and west sides of the official road.

Geng Qing led three guards standing there, behind him were two thousand Shen Ce Army, opposite the dim fire, and there were two thousand people behind Zhu Wen. As for the corpses on the ground, they had been dragged away and pulled to the nearby forest to be buried.

The night wind blew down the fire and was quiet for a while. Zhu Wen bowed his hand with a smile, and his bearded face showed a diligent and silly look: "Shangshu Geng, I haven't seen him for three years."

"I haven't seen each other for three years, but King Dongping has become more and more prosperous." Geng Qing bowed and returned the favor, took the opportunity to invite the other party to walk around, and glanced at the cavalry team behind the other party.

"Where is the mother and son whom Cui Xiang gave to King Dongping?"

"Zhu did receive this person's gift. He is still in the camp now. I don't know what it has to do with Shangshu Geng."

Geng Qing turned his head to look at him, smiled, and waved his hand: "King Dongping, I asked this knowingly. That's my sister-in-law...that child...that should be my child, but I haven't seen it before."

"Haha... Geng's flower is playing with." Zhu Wen laughed louder. Among the people he came into contact with, the black-faced man in front of him had similar hobbies to him, and he could say something. If it were other ministers in the court today, he would accept the women and children and be included in the room.

Only Geng Qing's woman was unwilling to touch her. First, she didn't want to lose such a fellow-talk who could speak. Second, the other party was still an old friend with his confidant Xie Tong. As a thief, she had to give her face some.

His words stopped, and his steps also stopped. Looking at Geng Qing who was walking in front of him, he turned his words away, "Today, Shangshu Geng was still a bit reckless. The Cui family in Qinghe is considered a big family, and there are many capable people in his family. In three years, he has provided a lot of money, food and fodder to Chang'an. If this matter is going on, you are afraid that you will be unable to get out."

Geng Qing didn't respond, but just followed the dead Cui Yin.

"The local prominent tribe raises such a thing? I am stupid in studying... I rely on women and children to threaten him, so I am not afraid of me threatening him with the entire Qinghe Cui family? Fortunately, nothing happened today. If something happened to my woman and children, I might say that I would kill all their tribes."

Geng Qing seemed to be telling a joke, "Look at the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, he has set a precedent and has followed suit. People in the world should still be able to accept it, right?"

On the other side, Zhu Wen nodded. With a gentle face, he knew that this sentence contained a warning inside and outside, and was for him to hear it.

"Shangshu Geng, you misunderstood Zhu's meaning. If you kill Cui Yin, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future. Why not come to Bianzhou? With you and Xie Tong, two dragon and phoenix chicks, looking at the whole world, there is nothing we can't stand!"

In the night, Geng Qing, who was facing this side, fell silent. The troops on both sides were staring at each other. After a long time of silence, Geng Qing shook his head, but tapped lightly.

He looked at Zhu Wen and his voice became low, "It is my honor that King Dongping looks down on Geng, but the person in Chang'an today is said to be quite wise, so let's go over and observe for a while."

When Li Keyong said that he would turn against each other, Feihu County's sincerity to seek talent was gone, and it was difficult for Zhu Wen in front of him to have any expectations of effectiveness.

Geng Qing was unwilling to live under the threat of others, and he lived a frightened life.

He refused politely, and did not block the words. Zhu Wen on the other side did not force himself, and his voice was low, "I also think that Your Majesty is wise."

When the two walked back, he did not mention asking Geng Qing to go to Bianzhou with him. The troops on both sides gathered together and went to the camp stationed several miles away.

The fire was bright over there, and the soldiers left behind were patrolling by.

The temporary tent was built with the smell of mud and grass, and the night insects were still whispering in the corners. In the humid and sultry, there were mothers and sons who were hugging each other.

The short table next to it was decorated with dry food and a few pieces of cooked meat. The child in the woman's arms watched the mutton that was reeling away, licked the skin of the mouth, and wanted to reach out, but the mother hit the back of her hand and retracted it.

"Mom...Nian'er hungry..."

Geng Nian shrank in the woman's arms, looking at her mother's face in the darkness. Bai Yunxiang hugged him tightly, rubbed her chin against the little man's forehead, and her voice was soft.

"Nian'er should have backbone, don't eat other people's things at will... sleep... and don't be hungry if you fall asleep."

The woman hugged the hair on her face, tightened her son in her arms, and sang a nursery rhyme softly. The bondage and hunger for several days made her voice a little hoarse and listless. Even though she was rescued, she did not relax.

The man named Zhu Wen had heard conversations between kidnappers in the carriage before. When he saw him again, the other party looked at his son, but she still noticed that it should have ulterior motives to save her and her son.

If it is used to threaten uncle...it would be better to die on the road.

Physical hunger, mental torture, thinking of the dull life in the past, and the feeling of not having to worry about anything when the man was still by his side, he might not be able to come back like that.

She hugged her son while humming a nursery rhyme while crying silently.

The curtain was opened there, and a soldier leaned in and looked at it, then retracted and left. It was probably because Zhu Wenli ordered that he would come and see it after a while when he left.

Not long after the man left, the sound of footsteps outside sounded again. At this time, the curtain was lifted, and two soldiers wearing armor came in, respectfully holding their fists at the woman.

"Mrs. There is someone outside who picks you up, please follow us to make a statement."

Bai Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, but still held her son who was sleeping in her arms, stood up weakly, and followed the two soldiers out.

The curtain was blown away, and in the light of the burning bonfire, a carriage was parked not far ahead. The driver on the carriage was carrying lanterns to hang the corners of the pillars. In the dimness, a figure on the side was talking to Zhu Wen, as if he had noticed a look, and the figure turned his face.

Geng Qing stopped talking and looked at the woman holding the child and laughed.

"I haven't seen each other for three years, but it's still so beautiful."

Bai Yunxiang's eyes turned slightly red, which was an indescribable feeling. The warm and warm breath spread in her heart.

Thinking of her current appearance, she panickedly freed up her hand, tidied her messy hair, and wanted to turn around, her steps seemed to be floating, and she hugged her son again, and her feet became soft and she fell down.

However, his body was wrapped by the stretched out hand. Geng Qing held her and hugged the child in his arms and put it in his arms. He looked at his confused little face and called to the woman softly: "Let's go home."

Bai Yunxiang lowered her face and nodded like a young wife. She was still well-behaved and led the man to the carriage.

"Go up and wait for me first."

Geng Qing handed the child to her and asked Dachun to move the direction, then he raised his hand to Zhu Wen.

"Brother Zhu, Geng remembers this love in his heart and will definitely repay it in the future!"

"Haha, Zhu remembers your words."

Zhu Wen did not try to keep him, and signaled Xie Tong to go to see him off. Then he turned around and walked back to the tent. Wang Yanzhang, who was following him, leaning on an iron spear, and looked back: "Why don't Your Highness stay? If there is an extra enemy..."

Zhu Wen, who entered the big tent, sat down at the back of the desk with a golden knife, poured a glass of wine, and comfortably put the wine glass on the table.

The sound is heroic and sounds in the tent.

"When is Gu afraid of one more enemy? It's better to have an opponent."
