The old Duke Xiao was stationed at the border all year round, and Xiao Bi often went to Yanmen County in recent years.

But every time she chooses the nearest route to go directly north, but has never traveled northwest.

When she heard that the food at the station ahead was good, she immediately felt energetic again.

The steamed buns and dried meat are enough to satisfy her hunger, and she can endure long hours of riding.

But steaming hot meals and comfortable beds can recharge people's energy, which is more beneficial for people who go out to run errands.

The two of them packed up their belongings and mounted their horses again.

However, the "tens of miles" mentioned by Huan Yu are not the twenty or thirty miles imagined by Xiao Pei.

It wasn't until it was almost dusk that they finally arrived at the inn.

The post station was not large, and there were two postmen, one old and one young, who came to greet them.

The old man's beard and hair are all white, and he is at least sixty years old.

She has a childish face and looks a little younger than Xiao Bi.

Xiao Bi jumped off the horse and said angrily: "Master, I didn't expect you to be able to lie to others!"

Huan Yu dismounted and handed the reins to her: "Xiao Jiu, go and settle the horses."

Xiao Bi stuck out her tongue, led the two horses and followed the young postman to the stable.

The old postman introduced Huan Yu into the post station.

As he walked, he said: "Young Master has a really good temper, and that young boy just now was so courageous."

Huan Yu said: "This is my first time traveling far away, so I'm probably tired."

The old postman shook his head: "Young men are the most noisy, how do you know what tiredness is?

The old man looks hungry. If you don't believe it, he will be able to feed two people when the food is available."

Huan Yu said with a smile: "You are growing older, so just eat what you want..."

While talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the guest room.

The old postman opened the door: "Sir, this is the largest room in our post, and the bedding has just been taken out and washed.

You two will stay here tonight, and the old man will arrange the meals."

"Wait a moment." Huan Yu called the old postman: "Can you please arrange another room for us."

The old postman looked at him doubtfully.

Huan Yu has a headache.

Talking too much, having a loud voice, and being too responsible are characteristics that many elderly people have.

Today this old postman really has all three characteristics.

He explained patiently: "My little guy likes to grind his teeth when he sleeps at night."

The old postman expressed his understanding and said in a loud voice: "Boys are like this. They don't have enough to eat, and at night they grind their teeth and fart..."

While nagging, he opened a room next to him: "Let that kid live here."

Just as Huan Yu was about to say thank you, from the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Bi and the young postman walking towards them. Both of them didn't look very good.

He waved to Xiao Bi: "Xiao Jiu, come and see where you live."

Xiao Bi walked over with a dark face.

The old postman shook his head and said to the young postman: "Xiaoshanzi, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and get hot water for the young master."

The young postman dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything, so he followed him to the kitchen.

As soon as the two people's backs disappeared, Xiao Bi spat hard.

"This old man has such a bad mouth. He grinds his teeth, farts and snores while sleeping!"

Huan Yu touched his nose.

Xiao Jiu is very angry, so it would be best for him, the instigator, to keep quiet.

The young postman quickly brought the hot water.

The two of them went back to their rooms to wash up.

Not long after, the old postman delivered the food to Huan Yu's room.

"Master, please use it slowly."

Huan Yu thanked him and put a small piece of broken silver on the tray.

Unlike inns, inns generally do not require tips.

But today, the old man and Xiao Jiu seemed to be at odds with each other, so he was sent away quickly.

The old postman has lived to this age and has been working in the post all his life. How can he not understand this meaning?

He put the broken silver into his sleeves and left happily.

After riding for a whole day and having a simple lunch, Huan Yu and Xiao Bi were already hungry.

The dishes at the inn were very ordinary, but the two of them enjoyed them very much.

After the young postman put away the dishes, Huan Yu said with a smile: "This post is a bit far, but the food is really good. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Xiao Bi curled her lips and said: "Only a ghost can believe you! How can you have bad food when you're hungry?"

"You shouldn't go to bed early if you're too full. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Huan Yu suggested.

"After riding for a day, I don't want to move at all. How about we chat for a while?"

"What does Xiaojiu want to talk about?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Bi thought for a while: "I have only paid attention to Beirong these years. Second brother Huan, why don't you tell me about Liuyun Kingdom.

Apart from knowing that their leader’s surname is Li, their general’s name is Liang Jun, and they have a son named Liang Ruoru, I know nothing else.”

Huan Yu poured two cups of hot tea and pushed one of them in front of her: "The surname of the leader of Liuyun Kingdom was given by the previous emperor. In fact, he is not from the Central Plains."

Xiao Bi suddenly realized: "No wonder they have regarded the Wei Dynasty as their enemy for more than a hundred years. It turns out that they are still thinking about the previous dynasty."

Huan Yu said: "It is not necessary to miss the previous dynasty, but it is certain to miss the prosperity of the Central Plains.

I once heard a saying that when the Wei Dynasty was founded, the Li family was almost completely slaughtered, and only the youngest princess of Emperor Shang escaped.

It is said that the princess escaped to Liuyun Kingdom under the protection of more than a thousand remnant soldiers."

Xiao Bi picked up the tea cup and shook it: "Although it is a legend, I think it is very credible.

For example, the Liang family has a surname that comes from the Central Plains, and their ancestors may have been one of the remnant soldiers who escorted the princess to Liuyun."

Huan Yu said: "The things that are suspicious are far more than this. Liuyun and Beirong are generally barbarians, but they do not rely solely on bravery like the Beirong people to fight.

Liang Jun is even more proficient in various tactics of the Central Plains. This cannot be achieved by just learning.

Thinking about it, his ancestors were certainly not ordinary people in the previous dynasty."

Xiao Bi drank all the tea in the cup and sighed: "It is really not easy for these old princes to be stationed at the border between the two countries."

Huan Yu said: "Fortunately, the Liuyun Kingdom is not very powerful and does not have the ability to go to war with the Wei Dynasty like the Beirong. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for the Wei Dynasty to achieve peace.

By the way... I've heard another theory.

It is said that the former princess married a tribal leader from Liuyun, and her son later married a princess from Liuyun Kingdom.

And now the queen of Liuyun Kingdom is her son’s granddaughter.”

Xiao Bi sneered: "If this legend is true, it can only mean that the remnants of the previous dynasty have never died in their attempt to overthrow the Wei Dynasty.

If the queen's son can become the ruler of the country in the future, he will definitely raise troops against our great Wei."

Huan Yu said: "This is entirely possible, because Queen Guo just gave birth to a son last year.
