Chapter 248: Common Food in Northwest China: Nang

"If it is really Prince Yuan, this matter is of no trivial matter." Yue Qing's face looked very ugly.

Xia Yanxiang patted Yueqing's hand: "Master's wife, we are just guessing now, we have no evidence."

"We don't know who is behind Rouran yet, and we have no evidence." Xia Yanxiang was just guessing, although this guess was probably right. "I told my brother this guess just to remind him to pay attention to the people around him."

Yue Qing obviously had her own ideas: "I see, you should have a good rest first, don't worry about it for now, and wait until you get better before you talk about it."

"Okay." Xia Yanxiang hesitated for a while and agreed.

Although Xia Yanxiang had this idea, Yue Qing and others would not allow her to interfere in the matter now.

What's more, Xia Yanxiang knew nothing about military and court affairs, and if she suddenly intervened, it would probably arouse suspicion.

Let's wait a few more days until she gets better.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" After leaving Xia Yanxiang's tent, Xia Zhibai and Mo Chen walked to a secluded place, and Xia Zhibai asked.

Mo Yuchen was silent the whole way. After hearing Xia Zhibai's question, he finally answered, "Yanyan's words make sense."

There was silence between the two again.

"But we don't have any evidence to prove who did it." Mo Yuchen frowned, "We don't know who the other party is yet."

Xia Zhibai frowned and looked at Mo Yuchen: "Your Highness should be able to guess who it is, right?"

Mo Yuchen nodded: "I have a suspicion, but the possibility is not very high."

Xia Zhibai nodded.

indeed.

"Maybe not." Mo Fuchen added. Although he was reluctant to believe it, the facts were in front of him and Mo Fuchen had no choice but to believe it.

"In the face of national affairs, is power really more important?" Xia Zhibai endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help it and growled.

Mo Yuchen said nothing.

Xia Zhibai felt a little sad and said with relief: "Now it seems that we have no choice but to strengthen military training and fight against the Rouran."

"We'll talk about the rest later."

Mo Yuchen nodded.

"Oh, right, as for Yan'er and Liguan, it seems we need to send some people to guard them." Xia Zhibai said in a deep voice, "Since the last assassination, we haven't encountered any assassins along the way. Who knows, when we get to the northwest, we're busy fighting and someone will take advantage of the situation and sneak in."

Mo Yuchen nodded: "I will also send secret guards over."

"it is good."

Mo Yuchen's promise to come back the next day before leaving did not come true. The Rouran suddenly attacked, and Xia Zhibai and others were urgently gathered to fight the enemy.

Xia Yanxiang didn't originally expect Mo Yuchen to come, but after learning what had happened, she became worried.

When Xia Yanxiang found out about this, Mo Yuchen and Xia Zhibai were on the city wall fighting the enemy.

In fact, there was no fighting, the two sides were just confronting each other.

A young general from the Rouran side came with fifty or sixty soldiers and horses. He circled under the city wall and shouted to Xia Zhibai to attack them.

"General Xia! Weren't you so glorious in the past? Why have you become a coward today?" The young general was a rough man with a big scar on his face and a beard that almost covered his eyes.

Xia Zhibai stood on the tower without moving: "General, what is your purpose in bringing these people here today? With such a small number of people, do you look down on me, Xia Zhibai?"

Xia Zhibai's calmness obviously made the other general very angry. He said with all his might, "General Xia, how come you, a general, can't even deal with such a small number of people?"

Maybe in the capital, Xia Zhibai is a hot-tempered young man, but on the battlefield, Xia Zhibai is calm in the face of any provocation: "Forget it, General, the number of people you have is not enough to fill my teeth, you should send more people to give me wine!"

"Hahahahahaha!" The soldiers on Dayong's side all laughed, obviously looking down on the other side.

The enemy's generals and soldiers were extremely angry. One or two of them lost their patience and were about to rush forward, but were stopped by the leader.

"Forget it! Let's go back first! Don't let anything ruin the situation!" Even though the general was extremely angry, this was a serious matter and he couldn't make the decision.

Seeing the man on the opposite side riding back in disgrace, Xia Zhibai also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Rouran army camp is now stationed a hundred miles away. Xia Zhibai is not sure exactly how many soldiers and horses there are. He must not act rashly under the current circumstances.

Although Xia Zhibai looked calm and composed, he felt heavy on his shoulders.

Li Fu stepped forward and patted Xia Zhibai on the shoulder: "Go back first!"

Xia Zhibai didn't say anything, just nodded.

After returning to the military camp, Xia Zhibai immediately ordered a meeting.

Xia Yanxiang waited for a long time before Yizhu sent a message: "Miss San, please rest assured. Nothing happened ahead. The general and His Highness are having a meeting right now!"

Yue Qing was not at Xia Yanxiang's place, and only Li Guan was there. If Li Guan hadn't been worried about being seen by others as they lived alone, he would have rushed out long ago.

Now that they had received the news that they were safe, Xia Yanxiang and Li Guan both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, don't worry. If there is anything ahead, just come and tell me. Don't listen to my brother or His Highness." Xia Yanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order.

"Yes." Mo Yuchen had long guessed that Xia Yanxiang would not stay quietly in the rear waiting for news, so he had already told Yizhu when he sent Yizhu over.

Li Guan saw Xia Yanxiang's appearance, hesitated for a while and said: "Ayan, how about I take you to the military camp?"

Xia Yanxiang frowned and shook her head: "Don't worry, let's wait until the situation stabilizes."

The army is not fully organized now, and if someone wants to take advantage of the situation, it may not be easy to deal with them.

"Or, let's wait for two days and then tell our eldest brother?" Li Guan asked tentatively.

Xia Yanxiang still shook her head: "We are women, there are many inconveniences, and we are afraid of being criticized."

"What's wrong with being a woman?" Li Guan didn't understand. "I am also a woman! I am still fighting on the battlefield in the northwest, and no one dares to say a word!"

Xia Yanxiang sighed, "Ah Guan, since you are a military commander, it's nothing. I am a noble lady from an aristocratic family, and I don't fit in the army. If I make any comments on military affairs, I will definitely be rejected."

Li Guan didn't quite believe it: "No way? General Luo wouldn't do that, right? After all, he was promoted by my eldest brother."

Xia Yanxiang sighed.

Later in the evening, Yukui brought food.

Xia Yanxiang had been ill for the past few days and had only eaten porridge. Now that she had finally gotten better, Yukui switched to local food.

"This is..." Xia Yanxiang had never seen this kind of food before and was quite puzzled when she saw it.

Li Guan took a look and said, "Oh, it's naan, a common food in the northwest."

"Naan?" Xia Yanxiang looked at it with some curiosity. She washed her hands and came over to start eating.
