"Vanguard, the Marquis of Peace has already set off for the Jade Gate Pass. He will be meeting with the vanguard with the princess' secret letter."

"Marquis An Ping?"

Qin Tianxiong gently stroked his treasured sword as he pondered for a moment before speaking, "The Marquis An Ping is the marquis under the emperor's decree. He has personally come here to meet me with the princess's secret letter. What is his intention?"

Zhong Ao Shuang was a Grand Scholar of the Grand Kanghan Forest Courtyard. After she was expelled from the academy, she was first sealed by the crabapple pear, and after her death, she was conferred the title of Marquis by the Grand Kangsheng Emperor.

Although the marquis was just a humble official, he did not represent power. The title of marquis represented the glory of most of the court officials. When they saw that they had no choice but to kowtow and pay their respects, the title was considered very high in the world.

Even though Qin Feng had been guarding Jade Gate for many years and had made countless contributions, he was still just a marquis.

Of course, Qin Feng's marquis was a first class marquis, and Zhong Ao Shuang's marquis was a third class marquis.

"Vanguard, the Marquis of Anping is the princess' personal official. He has always been highly trusted by the princess and is very loyal to the princess. The duke had come personally this time because he'd come with the princess' intentions to meet with the vanguard.

Qin Tianxiong pondered silently. He did not understand Zhong Ao Shuang, and did not know if Yue Chan really trusted this person.

"Chan Juan, did you send Zhong Ao Shuang to this place because you were forced to trust him, or because you truly trusted him? I don't believe you don't understand the intention of the Emperor in sending Zhong Ao Shuang to your side. This person definitely had an imperial edict on him, and even a secret decree. If you trust this person lightly, I am afraid that there will be no end to this calamity. "

Opening the secret letter, every secret letter would be delivered into his hands before it could be opened. The gyrfalcon had started to get familiar with him and had recently begun to deliver the secret letter directly into his hands.

In the secret letter, Yue Chan first recalled the past and gave a brief sigh. At the same time, she told Qin Tianxiong that Zhong Ao Shuang had protected him with his life several times. She already knew that Zhong Ao Shuang was under the royal orders to convince Qin Tianxiong of Zhong Ao Shuang.

"Revenge, Chan Juan. How could I not want revenge for you? Revenge is not such a simple matter, yet I do not know what your intentions are?"

He was looking forward to it. He was looking forward to it so that he could see Zhong Ao Shuang and find out how she was faring.

Faintly a little jealous of Zhong Ao Shuang, that man can wait by her side every day, accompanying her.

Bitterness rose in his heart, he had already known that Yue Chan Juan was pregnant, and was a lonely person left over from the womb. So what if he knew? He was also a man, a father.

"Chan Juan, how are you? It's been a hard year for you. I wish that I could be by your side as I was in the past and protect you so that you could rely on me. "

Qin Tianxiong looked out of the barrier into the distance with a bitter smile on his face. Was there still a chance that he could see her again?

"Chan Juan, Chan Juan …"

The sage had long since become the wife of someone else, and was about to become the mother of someone else.

A jade pendant appeared in his hand. It was the one that Yue Chanjuan had given him back then. It was warm to the touch, akin to a person's hand. He could not help but be mesmerized.

"Vanguard, the marquis has sent a secret letter."

"Present."

The letter was sent by Qin Feng, the town's northern guard, stating the current situation of the northern border. The letter explained the current situation of the northern guard, the complicated situation.

Qin Feng told Qin Tianxiong not to go to the gate, and to send one hundred thousand men to the gate to listen to the order. He himself led fifty thousand men and horses, acting according to the circumstances in the northern border.

"Fifty thousand. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Only fifty thousand left over."

Qin Tianxiong didn't dare to be negligent. He was only a vanguard, and had to obey his father's orders.

He passed down the order. Currently, he only had ten thousand cavalrymen by his side. They were all carefully selected elites from the two hundred thousand soldiers. They followed beside him.

The person sent by Zhong Ao Shuang ordered him to send a letter to Zhong Ao Shuang and come out of Jade Gate to meet him.

"Perhaps if I don't go close the jade door, it would be easier for me to act when the opportunity arises, so I can avoid father's supervision."

He had been ordered not to go to the Yumen Pass, Qin Tianxiong had stationed himself at the northern border outside of Xiao Shan to clean up the forces there.

This decree was personally issued by Emperor Sheng. In order to pacify the chaos in the northern border and stabilize the situation, he did not hesitate to put an end to the battle and had the northern border pacified as soon as possible.

Without a choice, news came from the northern border, from the Great Moon Branch to the capital.

Zhong Ao and the frost servant had been hurrying on their way, hoping to contact Qin Tianxiong as soon as possible and discuss various matters.

He had a secret mission. These missions included those of the Great Kang Emperor, as well as Tuoba Fei.

Zhong Ao Shuang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Right now, he had a secret mission of several families: Grand Kang, Prince Xian of the Left, Big Qin, Solitary …

"In the north, if the situation in the north were to become chaotic, it would not be easy to get rid of it. How can I get the most out of it? "

A meticulous plan would still have to be adjusted depending on the situation. Zhong Ao Shuang looked back in the direction of the Great Wan City, afraid that he would not be able to accompany her and see her give birth to Lin'er.

The matters in the north were too important. He needed to stay in the north and coordinate all kinds of matters.

"Qin Feng, I need to see Qin Feng first."

When Qin Tianxiong's secret letter arrived, Zhong Ao Shuang did not go out of Jade Gate to meet Qin Tianxiong, but first paid her respects to Qin Feng.

After a secret discussion, Zhong Ao Shuang stayed at the Jade Gate for an entire night before leaving to meet Qin Tianxiong.

"Vanguard, the duke has arrived. Please go meet him."

"Where?"

"In order to avoid revealing our whereabouts, Master Hou disguised himself to travel in secret. Now, in a tent not far ahead, he is disguised as a guest merchant. Please don't attract any attention after you disguise yourself, Vanguard."

Qin Tianxiong was filled with mixed emotions. He could finally see the people around her and know the exact situation she was in. The rumours and rumors were already so shocking that they made his heart ache.

With his trusted bodyguards, Qin Tianxiong changed into casual clothes. Fortunately, Da Kang and Da Yue branch were doing business at this time, so the people of Central Plains and the people of various tribes of the Western Regions were mixed together, so they didn't attract too much attention.

"Vanguard, please enter."

There were horses and camels outside the tents, and there were also some goods. From the outside, it seemed like a small merchant.

The valiant warriors surrounding the tent caused Qin Tianxiong to pause his gaze for a moment. Among them were people of the Central Plains, and there were also many warriors of the Huns in the Western Regions, exuding an intrepid aura.

The tent flap opened, and a tall elegant figure rose from the tent to smile at him.

"This lowly official pays his respect to the Duke of Ping."

Qin Tianxiong raised his hands and bowed. Zhong Ao Shuang said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite, Vanguard. Please take a seat."

There was only Zhong Ao Shuang left inside the tent, Qin Tianxiong and Zhong Ao Shuang were not unfamiliar with each other. Waving his hand to command the guards to guard outside the tent, he walked over and sat down.
