    Yangjing Town is a small town in northern Xinjiang. It has a small population, but it has been very lively here recently.  The army led by King Anling was stationed a few miles away from the town. On weekdays, officers and soldiers often came here for recreation, which also promoted small business here.  For example, a family selling mutton soup in Jiekou has been doing particularly good business since this winter.  There is also the rouge shop at the end of the street, where officers and soldiers often come to buy some rouge and gouache as gifts for the women they like.

    That evening, Liu Erniang, the proprietress of the mutton soup shop, had just welcomed several officers and soldiers who were drinking mutton soup. She diligently served everyone a bowl of hot mutton soup, and suddenly the whole street seemed to be filled with the aroma of mutton soup.

    "My lord, I've been looking forward to seeing you again for a long time. Please drink the fragrant mutton soup while it's hot." Liu Erniang greeted with a smile.

    Several people took the bowls, lowered their heads and drank.  These four people are her regular visitors. They usually talk and laugh when they come here, but today they are all silent for some reason.  If it had been before, I would have already started playing with Liu Erniang by now.

    Liu Erniang noticed something was going on and wisely did not disturb them again.  The four of them drank a few sips of the mutton soup, and one of them banged the table and said, "What should we do? After running around for several days, we still can't find the medicinal materials. How can we explain it when we return to the army?"

    Another officer and soldier glanced around cautiously and hissed: "Don't talk nonsense."

    The four officers and soldiers drank the soup in silence, threw down a few coins, and left.

    ¡°My lord, please walk slowly and come here often!¡± Liu Erniang shouted crisply.

    After sending away the few officers and soldiers who were drinking mutton soup, seeing that the sky was a little cloudy and the number of pedestrians on the street was gradually becoming less and less, Liu Erniang thought about closing the business as soon as possible.  As the New Year approaches, there are always some chores to do at home.  She was about to tell her man to close the door when she suddenly heard someone on the street say, "I want a bowl of mutton soup and half a catty of pancakes."

    This sound is very crisp and very beautiful.  Liu Erniang looked over and saw a thin horse on the street. The horse snorted heavily, obviously it was on the way, and the horse was a little tired.  The person on the horse was even more dusty, and the clothes he was wearing were stained with dust. It was vaguely obvious that they were made of fine materials.  The cloak on the outside is a color that is either white or gray. It must have been white before, but it turned into this color when the dusty wind from northern Xinjiang blew it.

    The person on the horse seemed to be a woman, with a very slim figure, but her face could not be seen clearly because she was lying on the horse covering her mouth and coughing continuously. She was obviously sick.  The cough was hoarse, and the voice definitely didn't sound like the person who just said he wanted to drink mutton soup.  However, there was no one else on the street except this woman at the moment, and Liu Erniang couldn't help but feel a little confused.  While he was looking around, he heard a clear voice coming over again, "A bowl of mutton soup and half a catty of pancakes."

    Liu Erniang was startled, because this time she heard correctly, the voice did come from the woman, but the woman was still coughing, obviously it was not the woman who said it.  After looking carefully for a moment, Liu Erniang discovered that there was a parrot with white feathers and red beak standing on the woman's shoulder, staring at her with great energy.  Liu Erniang suddenly realized that it was the parrot who was speaking.  This parrot can learn to speak, and what it says should also be what its owner means.

    Liu Erniang responded hurriedly: "Please come in and the mutton soup pancakes will be ready soon."

    The woman stopped coughing after a while, turned over and got off the horse, and said to Liu Erniang: "Mrs. Boss, can you feed the horse some food?" The woman's voice was not clear and sweet, but like the music of a huqin that has been played for a long time, with a certain flavor.  A husky and charming charm.

    Liu Erniang hurriedly took the reins and called her men to come over and lead the horse to feed.  The woman entered the shop by herself, found a table in the back and sat down, while Liu Erniang went to work.  After a while, a bowl of mutton soup and several pancakes were brought up.

    "This girl is coughing because of the cold wind. Drinking some hot soup will help drive away the cold. Maybe the cough will be cured." Liu Erniang said enthusiastically.  She could tell that the woman seemed to be sick, her face was pale, and her eyebrows looked tired. She didn't know why such a single woman had to travel in the middle of winter.

    Qin Jiu ignored Liu Erniang¡¯s probing gaze, took out the brocade handkerchief and cleaned her hands, took a sip of the mutton soup, raised her eyes and said, "The boss lady is right, this mutton soup is made authentically and is just right to ward off the cold."

    "Then girl, just drink more. I'll give you another bowl later. No cash required." Liu Erniang seemed to see a trace of sadness flashing in the woman's enchanting eyes through the heat of the mutton soup, so she couldn't help but say.  .

    Qin Jiu saw that the landlady was a warm-hearted person and couldn't help but smile, "I can't do it without the cashier."

    The landlady glanced at Qin Jiu's clothes again. They were all made of excellent materials, and she could vaguely tell that they were still wedding clothes.  On this cold day, a woman from a wealthy family was traveling alone, probably to escape from marriage.  She immediately made up a drama in her mind, the rich ladyRun away from marriage and go to the border to find the person you love.  Most of the people she likes are people in the military.  King Anling garrisoned his army here, and there were many Jinwu guards from well-known families in his army.

    "Madam boss, are the troops led by King Anling stationed not far from here?" Qin Jiu asked.

    Liu Erniang was stunned. It seemed that she had guessed it right. She nodded hurriedly and said enthusiastically: "Yes, it's just ten miles north of Yangjing Town. I practice often on weekdays. When I'm close, I can hear the thundering horseshoes.  Sound. Is the girl going to the army to find someone?"

    Qin Jiu didn't know what Liu Erniang was thinking. She tore up the pancakes, soaked them in the mutton soup, and ate them slowly, "Yes, I have a brother in the army, and I came to visit him. I heard that there was a victory recently?  "

    Speaking of this battle, Liu Erniang was very excited, "Yes, yes, King Anling led his army to repel the enemy for several miles. I heard that it was a great victory."

    "Have you heard about the casualties in the army, boss lady?" Qin Jiu asked.

    She heard from Lian Yuren that Yan Su was seriously injured and wanted to get some information from Liu Erniang.

    Liu Erniang sighed: "As the saying goes, if you wipe out ten thousand enemies, you will lose three thousand. There will definitely be casualties, but the key is to win, right?"

    Qin Jiu nodded. Apparently, the common people had not heard about Yan Su's injury. This shows that the army kept it a secret.

    "However, the casualties must have been considerable. Just now, several officers and soldiers came to my place to drink mutton soup, and they all sighed. I heard that they were looking for some medicinal materials but could not find them."

    Qin Jiu's heart sank. After finishing the mutton soup, paying the silver, and under Liu Erniang's enthusiastic guidance, he headed out of the town.

    After the battle at Tianchen Mountain, Qin Jiu and Yan Yu parted ways.  I went down the mountain in secret. I originally just wanted to find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life, but I learned from a Tianchen Sect maid that Su Wanxiang had gone to Northern Xinjiang.  She was so focused on fighting Lian Yuren that day that she forgot to tell Yan Yu that Su Wanxiang could disguise herself.  This negligence actually allowed Su Wanxiang to avoid Yan Yu's search and escape again.  When she went to Northern Xinjiang, she was going to look for Yan Su.  Qin Jiu was not at ease, so he searched all the way without stopping.

    After leaving the town and walking for a few miles, I heard a sound like rolling thunder in front of me.  The sound was so shocking that the ground almost trembled. Qin Jiu didn't understand it before, but after experiencing the last battle, she knew that it was the sound of the hoofbeats of war horses. There must be a military camp in front of her, and Dayu's army was training.

    Huang Mao flew up from her shoulders in shock, and hurriedly flew into the air to check.

    Qin Jiu reined up his horse and squinted at the billowing dust rising in front of him.

    At nightfall, Lieutenant General Xie Dichen finished his dinner, went to Yan Su's handsome tent, and then hurried back to his tent.  The four sergeants he sent out to find medicine have returned and are kneeling in a row in his tent.

    Xie Dichen walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Is this antidote only available in Beiye Country?"

    One of the sergeants nodded and said: "The poison is made from the flowers of the poisonous grass Naci flower native to Beiye Country. This poison can only be cured by the roots of the Naci flower."

    Xie Dichen punched the table, frowning and saying nothing.

    "You guys stand down and keep your mouth shut. This matter must not be leaked. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with."

    The four of them all answered "yes", kowtowed and left.

    Xie Dichen sat in front of the case with a worried look on his face.  He picked up the sheepskin map on the table and looked at it carefully. After a few glances, he suddenly felt something was wrong.  He clearly remembered that when he went out, he folded the drawing and put it in the book. How did he lay it out on the desk?

    Has anyone entered the tent?  Thinking of this, I suddenly felt something strange in the tent. Looking back suddenly, I saw a person turning out of the screen.  Xie Dichen looked as if he had seen a ghost and said in shock: "Is it you? How did you get here?"

    Qin Jiu slowly walked out with Huang Mao in his arms, with a faint smile on his lips, his eyes raised lightly, and he said lightly: "Master Xie, as a deputy general in the army, could not have thought that he would be so careless and someone would enter the tent.  No sense."

    Xie Dichen looked embarrassed, he was indeed careless.

    "Master Jiu is not enjoying the blessings in the capital, but he came here from the capital without any trouble. I don't know if he is here to supervise the battle, to supervise the army, or to help in the battle?"  He almost died in the sky prison. Although he saved his life in the end, he lost his throne.  In his opinion, Qin Jiu is a monster.  Now that this monster appears in the army again, how can he not be wary?

    Qin Jiu stretched out her fingers to stroke the yellow feathers, covered her mouth and started to cough.  The bowl of mutton soup was very effective. It suppressed the cough, so he hid in the tent to avoid being discovered by Xie Dichen.  However, it was only suppressed for a while.

    Xie Dichen frowned and looked at Qin Jiu coughing endlessly, feeling really at a loss.  It seemed that it was only at this moment that he noticed Qin Jiu's tired look.  Looking at Qin Jiu's pale face, she was obviously ill.  A person suffering from cold and cough would not be like this. It seemed that what she had was not an ordinary disease. Xie Dichen couldn't help but wonder, how could this woman get herself into such a state?

    After finally stopping his coughing, Qin Jiu raised his eyes and asked, "Liancheng was injured and poisoned? Did you find the antidote for him?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com  )The color of dust and fatigue.  Looking at Qin Jiu's pale face, she was obviously ill.  A person suffering from cold and cough would not be like this.
