When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 247 Something went wrong

With nothing to do, the early summer morning was especially refreshing. Bai Xin sat in the middle of the pavilion, watching Sang Lan, Sang Lei and Nan Liang's maid picking fruits in the yard.

"How is the battle going on Ye Qi's side?"

"As soon as Ye Qi and his men entered Wu Country, before they even reached the border, the Qiang and Hu countries withdrew their troops five miles into their own territory and hid themselves away!"

Seeing Li Ze ask this, Bai Xin frowned and felt very anxious.

"Is he afraid?" Li Ze also felt strange.

"If you are afraid, you should withdraw all your troops!"

Bai Xin shook her head and disagreed with Li Ze's opinion.

"That's right. This is also strange. What are the Qiang and Hu countries up to? They actually joined forces to harass our Wu country!" Li Ze said hatefully.

"Who says it's not true? There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!" Bai Xin had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What are your plans for that night?"

"The Ye family army plans to rest for two days and then join forces with our army to take them down in one fell swoop!" Bai Xin said with some concern.

"That's right, let's fight quickly and decisively!" Li Ze nodded in agreement.

"Ok!"

Bai Xin stroked her belly, hoping that she could live long enough to see her born.

"But I still find it strange. Logically, these two countries shouldn't be so bold!" Bai Xin's doubts remained in his mind.

"Xi'er, go to the room and bring me the map of our Wu country!"

"Yes!"

Xier took the order and quickly went to the yard to get their map for Bai Xin and the others to study.

"Our Wu country is close to the dome, and the Qiang and Hu countries are also close to the dome, and then there is the Baha Mountain..."

Bai Xin muttered as he looked at the map.

"Hey, this city behind Baha Mountain must be the city of Xichang!" Bai Xin looked for a long time and said with some surprise. He had never noticed this before.

"seems like it!"

"This Baha Mountain is the boundary. Half of it belongs to Qiang and Hu, and the other half belongs to Xichang!"

"This Baha Mountain is covered with snow all year round. Vegetation only appears for one or two months in summer, and people can pass through it!"

Bai Xin and Li Ze were studying the map. Li Ze was more familiar with Wu Country than Bai Xin. After all, Bai Xin had just come here and married into the Dome, and only today did she carefully study the terrain around Wu Country.

"Could it be that the Qiang and Hu countries' joint attack on our Wu country is related to Xichang?"

Bai Xin looked at the topographic map and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Tomorrow we will set off for Gubo City. Outside Gubo City is the Xichang territory. We will then investigate what Xichang has done recently!"

Bai Xin finished speaking and looked at Li Ze.

"I'd better go by myself. The defenses of Gubo City are not very complete. If you go there and encounter spies, I won't be able to explain to Ye Qi!"

Li Ze shook his head in objection. Given her current situation, with the garrison here and Sang Lei still useful, he dared to go out to gather information. If he took her with him and something went wrong, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Yeah, that's okay!"

Bai Xin also knew that she was now clumsy, so no matter how nervous she was about Wu Guo, she still obeyed his orders.

Li Ze went out for a few days, and Bai Xin did not go out of the yard either. He just waited for the defenders to send him the battle situation of Ye Qi in Wu State every day. It was said that it was nearing the end, and all the news was good news, so Bai Xin was in a good mood.

Either he was sleeping to catch up on his sleep, or he was wandering around the yard.

The child is full-term and may be due at any time. Recently, there are more things to buy. There are not many people in the villa, so except Xier and Lianer, other maids help Bai Xin prepare the supplies for delivery from time to time.

Bai Xin woke up from her nap. It was already afternoon and the sun was setting. Xier was leading a few maids from Nanliang in the courtyard to sort out the things they had bought today. When they saw Bai Xin wake up and go out, they immediately started chattering non-stop, and they were also playing and fighting, making the scene very lively.

Bai Xin sat on the swing chair, took the warming tea handed to her by Lian'er, and watched everything with a smile on her face.

"Sang Lei, Sang Lei!"

Bai Xin saw Sang Lei standing alone in the corner outside the yard in the midst of the hustle and bustle, with a serious expression on his face. This aroused Bai Xin's curiosity, and she shouted to him twice before he heard her.

"lady!"

Hearing Bai Xin calling him, Sang Lei hurried over and bowed solemnly.

"Why are you so serious? What are you thinking about?"

"In reply to Madam, I was distracted while on duty. I hope Madam will forgive me."

She admired Sang Lei for his diligence and hard work, but she thought he was a little too mature for his age.

"Why are you in a daze?"

Bai Xin did not blame him.

"My elder sister said this morning that she was going out to buy some hair oil. She should have been back at noon. The other sisters have already returned. Now it is already 3 p.m., but she has not returned yet. I am just confused!"

"I hope Madam will not forgive me!"

Sang Lei felt ashamed when he thought about how his sister was often lazy at work, and when the lady gave them a day off, his sister would stay out from morning till night and not come back home.

"I see!"

Bai Xin nodded in understanding. Compared to his mature brother, his sister was indeed too childish and scheming, but she didn't do anything wrong, so Bai Xin just turned a blind eye.

"Maybe your sister was too busy shopping and came back a little late!"

Bai Xin smiled and said that Lancheng was not a big place, and Sang Lan probably just wanted to be lazy and wander around for a while longer. Bai Xin gave them a day off anyway, so she wouldn't ask about it.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Sang Lei had no choice but to answer with his hands clasped in embarrassment.

"Well, since it's still early, let's go out for a walk and see how the silkworms are doing now!"

Bai Xin looked at the sky and said.

"By the way, go out and see if you can meet your sister!"

It’s such a small place, we should be able to meet each other, said Bai Xin, got up and walked out.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Sang Lei hurriedly followed behind and escorted Bai Xin out.

Seeing this, the two girls hurried to Bai Xin's side to support him.

Lan City is a little stuffy in early summer. Since Gubo City and Nanliang City became dome cities, the number of people entering and leaving Lan City has increased.

"This Lan City is becoming more and more lively!"

Bai Xin said as he looked around.

"Well, there are more things for sale. Citizens from Nanliang and Gubo also come here to do some small business. There are many new and interesting things!"

Xier supported Bai Xin and looked at these new items with curiosity.

"Isn't that Sang Lan?"

While everyone was watching the excitement, Lian'er noticed that not far from the city gate, Sang Lan was looking around, not knowing what she was looking for.

Just when I was about to walk up to her and call her, I found that she was walking out of the city.

Bai Xin was a little confused when she saw this. Although it was still early for the city gates to be closed, it was a bit strange for a maid to run out of the city.
