Yuandu is the capital of Beixin. After these years of development, it is no longer the former Youzhou City, the border county of Guizhou.

Yuandu has developed very well in these years and covers an extremely large area.

It's just that no matter how big the country is, didn't the former minister Beixin follow the same example as they did in Guizhou and go to the palace to attend court every day?

The distance from the south to the central palace was nothing to the courtiers, and it was even less to Xiao Yuqi.

If she was determined to go, it wouldn't take long for Xiao Yuqi to find Ji Yun's people, not to mention that she was riding her precious horse to the palace.

He whipped his horse and whipped all the way, flying through the streets of Nancheng, and finally arrived at the central palace of Yuandu City. When he passed the Nangong Gate, which had been guarded by his own people, Xiao Yuqi did not dismount, but kept riding with his horse and whip.

Until he came to the high courtyard wall outside the Yangxin Hall that he had seen in his memory.

Across a vermilion courtyard wall, Xiao Yuqi saw the dragon-patterned gate approaching the double row of pillars in front of him, then he got off his horse, handed the horse to the bodyguard who followed him, and entered the Hall of Cultivation alone.

Outside, there is this deep palace wall that tightly surrounds the Yangxin Palace in the center.

This Yangxin Hall was where Emperor Beixin handled government affairs and even took daily rest. Its geographical location, floor space, and its level of luxury and grandeur were all rare in Xiao Yuqi's life.

Therefore, when she was chasing the enemy all the way to the palace and passed by here, Xiao Yuqi remembered this place in her heart with just one glance. It was the emperor who was still a stinker to Beixin and spent a lot of time and money to build such a palace.

I will enjoy it, but it is quite cheap now.

He stepped up and stepped into the two large wooden doors with red lacquer rivets, which were not much narrower than the gates of Yuandu City. As soon as the people came in, the guards saw that they were coming. The black-armored general who came up at the head led the soldiers behind him.

He bowed to himself, and then the black-armored soldiers came out, respectfully clasping their fists at him and asking.

"Master, uh, Xiao... Marshal Xiao, why are you here? Are you here to see Master Qiantose? Please come here...".

As the lord's subordinate, he knew who the woman in front of him was.

Not only was he clear about it, he also admired the person in front of him.

Especially when he knew that the man behind the massive destruction of Yuandu City and the successful invasion of Yuandu City from the west gate was the woman in front of him, their future mistress, the general admired Xiao Yuqi even more in his heart.

.

If he had his usual temperament, he would call his mistress excitedly and eagerly when he saw someone coming.

It was precisely because I was so excited that I subconsciously slipped out of my mouth as soon as I opened my mouth just now.

If I hadn't immediately thought that Zhengtong is now in charge of everything, and is also helping Qiantose take charge of the Yangxin Hall, and personally ordered me to guard the gate of the Yangxin Hall, one of Qiantose's most trusted subordinates, Mr. Ding, I wouldn't have been like that later.

He changed his tune abruptly.

If you don’t call her mistress, what is the appropriate title?

Speaking of which, if he hadn't been unable to see his lord all this time, he would have wanted to ask their Qiantui Lord in person why he suddenly acted like this to the quasi-mistress in front of him, who had made great contributions to Xinqian and Qiantui Lord.

Discourteous?

It's a pity that he, a mere first- and fourth-grade general, seems to be particularly insignificant in front of many of Chitose's subordinates, and in front of many officials and generals who are higher than him. This is also because he cannot see his lord's face, and because he is a soldier.

, taking obedience to orders as a bounden duty.

Helpless, no matter how annoyed, doubtful, or even unfair he felt, he had no choice but to endure it with frustration. Although he was embarrassed in his heart, the general's attitude towards receiving the future mistress became more and more sincere.

"Shuai Xiao, please come this way."

"Okay, I'd like to ask this general to lead the way."

It wasn't that Xiao Yuqi didn't notice a little bit of weirdness, but when she saw the other party's sincere attitude, she didn't care. She just smiled and nodded, then followed the other party's footsteps and headed towards the front. It covers a large area and stands tall in the square and

Go to the Yangxin Hall in the center of the garden.

It's a shame that Ding Geng didn't know what his general was thinking. If he knew about it, he would definitely sneer and become more determined that Si Chen's move to guard against Xiao Yuqi, the future mistress, was the right one!

Before he even stepped onto the nine steps in front of him, Xiao Yuqi looked up and saw someone standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, looking down at himself...

Wait, is this person Ding Geng?

Speaking of which, since the day when Yuandu was conquered, I haven't seen this guy, nor Acetylene, Kang, and the others, right?

When exactly did this guy come to Ji Yun?

Logically speaking, he should leave as he pleased, so he shouldn't question anything. However, they clearly followed Ji Yun's order to follow him, the commander of the middle army. This was actually equivalent to a military order!

Moreover, even if they are Ji Yun's people, they shouldn't worry about it. But before leaving, anyway, why don't we just tell ourselves that we are working together?

Xiao Yuqi frowned subconsciously.

She was wondering, was this Ding Geng called back by Ji Yun? Or did they act on their own initiative, act rashly, and leave the team privately without orders?

If it was Ji Yun who ordered it, but he didn’t even know about it as a coach...

Before he could think deeply, Xiao Yuqi had already stepped onto the last step and arrived in front of Ding Geng.

Before she could speak, she only heard Ding Geng in front of her hurriedly waving away. The general who had just led her away left. Xiao Yuqi felt very uncomfortable when he saw that, but he said for a moment.

No reason.

After sending away the general who he secretly disliked and who diligently escorted his fearful mistress, Ding Geng looked at Xiao Yuqi in front of him and said.

"Miss Xiao, are you here? Are you here to meet my Chitose?"

Looking at the person blocking him, Xiao Yuqi frowned, but still nodded and asked without answering, "Is Ji Yun here?".

This was a natural question, but it made Ding Geng feel uncomfortable inexplicably.

Could the Lord they regarded as a god-man be just anyone, and be able to speak in such a confident tone? Not even the future mistress! How could a woman be on par with men and talk about things together?

Also, even if her master loves her, this woman cannot rely on her small achievements in breaking the city and be proud of his favor!

Ding Geng looked at the future mistress in front of him, who had already shaken his status as lord and posed a threat to his lord, and the smile on his face became more and more polite.

"Master Chitose is here, but...".
