Two more days passed.

The sky was overcast, with gusts of hot and humid wind blowing, and it looked like a storm was coming.

In Concubine Qiao's Qiushui Palace, Gu Nuoer's cousin Qiao Xiuli was sitting on a chair, talking to Concubine Qiao.

He has broad shoulders and a thin waist, and is elegant and noble in a blue shirt. His narrow and dark eyes are cold.

Concubine Qiao was worried and warned: "You should be more careful when going to the border this time. I heard that the bandits in the desert are always very fierce. You are not familiar with the terrain, so be cautious."

Qiao Xiuliwen smiled lightly: "Don't worry, aunt, I will expel the bandits this time, and I will definitely make our Qiao family's reputation famous all over the world again."

A cheerful and charming figure came in at this moment: "Mother! Huh? My cousin is here!"

Gu Nuoer's eyes were lively and sparkling, and she approached with a sweet smile.

Qiao Xiuli stood up the moment she came in.

The little girl ran close to him quickly with her little feet like she did when she was a child, and then threw herself into his arms.

"Cousin!" Gu Nuoer raised her fair and pink face: "What have you been busy with recently, and why did you come to play with me?"

Qiao Xiuli smiled lovingly, his brows were soft and he touched his sister's head.

Concubine Qiao couldn't help but smile when she saw the deep love between them as brother and sister: "Nuo'er, you have to say goodbye to your cousin. Xiu Li asked the emperor to go to the border junction of Da Qi and Jin to clean up the group of people who are growing day by day.

Rampant bandits."

Qiao Xiuli followed: "When brother comes back, I will bring you something fun."

Concubine Qiao raised her chin and said, "Nuo'er, please help my mother send your cousin out of the palace. It just so happens that you two brothers and sisters may not have seen each other for a long time."

Gu Nuoer and Qiao Xiuli resigned to Concubine Qiao. After leaving the palace, the little girl frowned.

"Cousin, why do you want to solve this matter? Our Daqi border defense has no generals?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiuli smiled and shook his head: "This is strange. Jin is not a small country. They have the ability to fight back and defend themselves, but they just sit back and watch the bandits rob passing merchants."

"Your Majesty is troubled by this matter, and I also suspect that there is fraud involved, so I asked Ying to go and have a look in person to avoid any trouble."

He could see a little worry in his sister's dark eyes.

Jun Leng's brows became a little calm, and he said comfortingly: "My grandfather is old, my father has an official career, and my brother must shoulder the responsibilities of the Qiao family."

"You and your aunt are protected by the emperor in the palace, but the Qiao family who is really standing behind you cannot hold you back. I must get this military merit back."

After saying that, Qiao Xiuli smiled: "Don't worry Nuo'er, brother will be back soon."

Gu Nuo'er looked at Qiao Xiuli's appearance and felt vaguely worried.

Her cousin Qiao Xiuli inherited the Qiao family's fierce and domineering swordsmanship, and his martial arts attainments are certainly not low.

And since his leg was cured, he has held an important position as a military attache in the court.

With his calm mind and superb skills, he has repeatedly made meritorious deeds.

When Mr. Qiao, the Duke of Zhenguo, was young, he was known as the undefeated God of War in Da Qi.

Qiao Xiuli is the future successor of the Qiao family. There may be a lot of pressure to surpass his elders in glory.

Gu Nuoer understood that this trip must be dangerous. It seemed that there was indeed a fraud in this matter as his brother said.

However, she couldn't use this reason to dissuade Qiao Xiuli from going.

The little girl lowered her long eyelashes and said in a clear voice: "Brother, please stretch out your hand."

Although Qiao Xiuli was puzzled, he still followed the instructions.

Gu Nuoer's pink little fist was placed in his palm, and then her five slender fingertips spread out.
