It wasn't until Qingyu drank two courses of tea and Xiaoqingqing finished her homework for the day that Xiaohei and the old shopkeeper understood why Qingyu came to the imperial city of Northern Qi.

It turned out that the Northern Qi army had secretly moved outside Danzhou City in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the 100,000 soldiers and horses surrounded it without attacking, the Danzhou army suffered several defeats.

For a while, the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were confused.

Emperor Wu was even more shocked and angry. Although this small Danzhou City was far away from the imperial city, it was also a fortress at the junction of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Fearing that the Northern Qi army would disperse and attack from different places, the Imperial City of the Zhou Dynasty did not even dare to mobilize more troops and horses to Danzhou, so it could only quickly replenish food and grass and rush towards the border.

Only seven days later, the whole court was shocked by the bad news. In a battle outside Danzhou City, the Great Zhou Dynasty lost 10,000 soldiers, but the opponent still did not rush to attack the city.

This earth-shattering news finally shocked the emperor and the ministers of the court again.

The Queen Mother thought that Xiao Hei, who was far away in the Imperial City of Northern Qi, had no news to report back, so she sent Qing Yu here.

According to the wishes of the Queen and the Emperor, the first was to find out the true intentions of Northern Qi, and the second was to find a way to hold back the army outside Danzhou City.

The old shopkeeper didn't understand marching and fighting, but he also knew that he and Xiao Hei alone couldn't compete with an army of 100,000 people.

Xiao Hei didn't take it seriously. The worst he could do was to repeat the scene on the grasslands of southern Xinjiang all over again.

He just couldn't worry about the two little guys.

The two little guys have been following him for more than four years, and it has become a habit to see their brother every day when they open their eyes.

And if he went to the battlefield with Qingyu, he definitely couldn't bring the two little guys with him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hei had no choice but to look at the old shopkeeper and smile bitterly: "Why don't you ask Wang Er's wife to come over to help, or let her introduce a reliable maid."

The old shopkeeper also knew that he might not be able to coax the two little guys, so he nodded and said: "I'll go talk to Wang Er and try to get this matter done today."

He couldn't help with the war, and he couldn't help with this either.

Having two little ones at home is still not a problem for the old shopkeeper. At worst, he has to spend money to hire someone.

When Qingqing heard that her brother was going out with her new sister, she felt extremely unhappy. She took Xiao Hei's hand and said, "Brother, take me and my sister with you."

Xiao Hei was confused for a moment, so he had to explain to her: "This is more dangerous than the last time when my sister got lost. If you are not careful, someone will die."

Xiao Hei is not afraid, and he believes that Qingyu is not afraid, but Qingqing is still young, and Yan'er has no ability to protect herself.

How dare he take two little guys to fight?

After coaxing for a long time, Xiao Hei finally compromised with the little guy when Qing Yu was stunned.

Promise her to return to the imperial city in half a month. If she doesn't come back in half a month, she will ask the old shopkeeper to bring the two sisters to find him.

Fortunately, the Imperial City is not far from Danzhou, and even if the old shopkeeper takes the two little guys on the carriage, it probably won't last long.

Since the old shopkeeper can teach Qingqing how to practice, he can naturally protect the two little guys.

So, on the first day that Qingyu came to the Imperial City, the two of them took the two little guys and wandered around the market in the Imperial City of Northern Qi for a long time.

Qingyu bought snacks for the two little ones, Xiaohei bought Qingqing a new skirt and shoes, and watched Yan'er whine.

Xiao Hei touched her head and said, "When Yan'er becomes a human, brother will make up for you." Only then did Yan'er calm down.

When it was almost night, the group of people returned to the shop. The old shopkeeper was already sitting in the living room, and Wang Er's wife had already prepared dinner.

The old shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hei and said: "The horse you want is ready. Let Wang Er's wife come over to help take care of the children these days."

The two little guys probably wouldn't be happy to ask someone to come over again, and the old shopkeeper wasn't worried either. After weighing the situation, he still asked Wang Er's wife to come over and help.

After all, the woman and the two little guys have become familiar with each other over the years.

That night, Xiao Qingqing guarded her brother and refused to let him drink. Yan'er walked around the two of them, staring at the pastries that Qingyu brought from the palace.

In the end, Xiao Hei had no choice but to feed Yan'er two pastries from the Imperial Palace of Zhou Dynasty after dinner. The little guy fell asleep peacefully in his sister's arms.

Sitting around under the oil lamp, Xiao Hei looked at Qing Qing and said, "You know the old rules."

Qingqing said with a bitter face: "Don't worry, I won't let my sister run out, and I won't go out either."

Xiao Hei sighed and said, "It's not that I won't let you go out. If you want to go out to play, just call Grandpa, close the shop door, and go play in peace."

Qingyu watched Xiao Hei explain to the little girl patiently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh quietly.

This little boy who was still in the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty yesterday has turned into a little adult after not seeing him for a few years, and he has to worry about two younger sisters who come from nowhere.

Regarding Qingqing and Yan'er, the little black master asked the old shopkeeper to tell anyone.

Similarly, the old shopkeeper did not tell Qingyu the origin of the two little guys.

Knowing that her brother would leave her tomorrow, Qingqing lingered until midnight, until she could no longer open her eyes, and then she took her sister back to the house to rest.

Xiao Hei was lying on the bed but could not sleep. He did not expect that when he and his brother came to Dazhou, they would reenact the scene in the southern border of the Five Realms.

The difference is that this time the protagonist is no longer Watson, nor can it be Qingyu.

He didn't know if he would be scolded by his brother if he burned the supplies of the Northern Qi army, or if he would be kicked out by this side of Heaven.

Even if he left, he would have to wait until his brother and Shuzi came back, and he would have to leave with the two little guys.

This is his promise to the she-wolf, that he will protect his two sisters.

As long as his brother comes back, he believes that Yan'er will transform from the little white wolf into a girl like Qing Qing in less than two years.

…

Qingyu was anxious, and Xiaohei didn't try to enjoy the carriage ride. They each rode a horse and left the imperial city early.

When the two of them went out, Qingqing and Yan'er, who had slept late, had not yet woken up.

After leaving the imperial city, Qingyu laughed at Xiao Hei all the way, saying that he had been fooling around in Northern Qi all these years, and he hadn't even gotten into the imperial palace yet.

Xiao Hei was too lazy to pay attention to her, and just emphasized that if his brother hadn't met the emperor of Zhou Dynasty in Xilin Temple, he would still not know Qing Yu at all.

Qingyu thought about it and didn't want to ridicule him anymore.

The early spring season had long passed. The two of them were riding on horses, facing the spring breeze blowing from the official road. They looked at the surrounding scenery. They didn't feel any pleasure. They only felt that the spring breeze was still a bit chilly.

Xiao Hei saw that Qing Yu's face was not very good-looking, so he had to take two large silk scarves, wrapped one around his face, and gave one to Qing Yu.

It wasn't until her face and nose were wrapped that Qingyu was somewhat satisfied. She looked at Xiaohei and said with a smile, "I never thought you would have something like this for women."

Xiao Hei shook his head: "When my brother went to the desert, he said he would suffer in the desert without this thing."

Qingyu had never been to the desert, but she could imagine the desert wind and sand blowing towards her face, and she thought that it would be impossible without this silk scarf.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei's brother, whom he had never met before, actually went to a distant desert. It seems that both brothers are people with stories.

Thinking that he was about to face the Northern Qi army, Xiao Hei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Because he missed his brother a little.

Only then did he remember that after leaving his brother and being imprisoned in his cultivation, he didn't have much to rely on at the moment.

He even regretted not practicing Talisman with his brother earlier, so that at least when he encountered danger, he could carve a rune and escape.

It was not until last night when I was counting my treasures that I realized that there were not many talisman arrows left by my brother.

With the experience of the battle in Southern Xinjiang, he understood that Talisman Arrow is a good thing when encountering danger.

A baby that can at least save your own life.

At the moment, he was even worried about whether the remaining talisman arrows could help Qingyu solve the current difficulties, or at least destroy the food and grass of the Northern Qi army stationed in Danzhou.

If this was in the Five Realms, he would just fly there with his eyes closed and set off a fire.

It's so good now that I can't transform into a crow and fly into the sky, and even that divine fire has been imprisoned by God.

They have become monks who are at best better than Qing Yu's swordsmanship. If they encounter the Northern Qi army, the two of them will have no choice but to turn around and run for their lives.

The two ran together for two hours. Qingyu chose a small stream to stop and rest, letting the horse go to eat grass and drink water.

He took the dry food and handed it to Xiao Hei. He thought about it and frowned and asked, "How are we going to solve the crisis in Danzhou?"

Xiao Hei took the rations handed over by Qing Yu and said quietly: "Although I haven't fought any big battles, I know how to make the Northern Qi army retreat obediently."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu couldn't help frowning and asked: "Is there any good way?"

Xiao Hei chuckled: "Go around behind the army and burn their food and grass."

…

But he said that it was in the palace of Zhou Dynasty.

The news coming from the border a few days ago had a great impact on the morale of the ministers in the DPRK. Fortunately, the emperor sent reinforcements, which gradually eased the atmosphere a lot.

Fortunately, the empress allowed Qingyu to go to the Imperial City of Northern Qi, which made the emperor feel more at ease.

Li is different from ordinary women. She has endured a lot of hardships, not to mention that she and Qingyu have been practicing hard for these years and are not afraid of the war at the border.

On this day, it was rare for the emperor who had left court to come to Weiyang Palace to see the queen.

Seeing the empty look around Li, Emperor Wu couldn't help but ask: "Can Qingyu solve the crisis in Fanzhou if he goes to Northern Qi?"

In Emperor Wu's view, how could a weak woman make Northern Qi's 100,000-strong army retreat obediently? Not to mention that it was not the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter.

Li Shi sighed quietly and said: "How can Qingyu have such ability? I am counting on Xiaohei and Yuwen Chengqian, who have stayed in the Imperial City of Northern Qi for four years, to give me a surprise."

"You are counting on a young man and an old man to fight the war?" Emperor Wu looked suspicious and asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget what happened back then. If Xiao Hei hadn't come back with the late Emperor, I'm afraid this high position would have been replaced by someone else."

Li frowned and said coldly: "Xiao Hei was able to resolve that crisis back then, not to mention that it has been almost five years. He should be able to give me more surprises when he grows up."

"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man!"

Emperor Wu thought for a while and said: "As long as he solves the crisis in Fanzhou this time, I will make him a general and let him conquer the world on behalf of Zhou in the future."

Having said this, Li's face showed a worried look, and she replied silently: "That matter is not urgent, let's wait for the news from Qingyu from Danzhou."

A few years have passed, and even Mrs. Li, who is somewhat interested in Xiao Hei, doesn't know whether this guy has grown into a towering tree or turned into a useless scholar.

Emperor Wu laughed and said quietly: "If we endure it for a few more years and wait until the worries in the dynasty are resolved, why can't Northern Qi worry about it and wipe it out with a wave of hands?"

Li was shocked when she heard this, and replied in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say, be careful not to be overheard by people with serious intentions and then spread indiscriminately in the court, which may cause delays in our important events."

Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. In his opinion, the hidden dangers in the court were more troublesome than the beacon fire coming from the border.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter." Li knew Emperor Wu's character and was afraid that he would lose his composure, so she had to warn him.
