Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up . Right, she didn’t expect it, but she heard things about Prince Xiao in there before . So they might also hear something about the battle in the border in the teahouse .
The three hurried to go to the teahouse . The weather was cold, the business in the teahouse was getting better and better, and it was almost full .
The waiter led them to a big table where there were already two people sitting .
The two were men in their early forties . They looked very kind . When the two saw that they were cold, they didn’t wait for the waiter to serve them tea, they offered their tea to them immediately .
Bai Zhi thanked them . At this time, the gentleman on the stage was talking about anecdotes . No one was discussing the war on the border . Bai Zhi was a little disappointed, but she didn’t stay idle .
“Are the two uncles a local here?” Their clothes were not the same as those people who lived in Qingyuan Town . Their accents were also somewhat different .

The man with a mustache said: “We are from the capital . We are here to deliver goods . We will leave tomorrow . To be honest, it’s much colder here than in the capital . We can’t sleep at night in cold . ”
Bai Zhi nodded with a smile: “Don’t say that you people from the capital feel cold, even us local here feel cold . We came here to the teahouse to warm ourselves . ”
There were many people in the teahouse . The windows were covered with cotton quilts, and there was a small stove for warming tea on each table . So the temperature was naturally much warmer than the outside .
The man smiled: “Who says no!”
Bai Zhi asked again: “You came so far, aren’t you afraid?”
The man laughed: “What are we, two big men should be afraid of?”

“The Northwest is in chaos . It’s not far from the border . I heard that many businessmen don’t want to come here to deliver goods . They’re afraid to get entangled in war and lose income . ”
The man wearing the navy blue jacket took the lead and said, “It seems you don’t know yet . ”
Bai Zhi busily asked: “What I didn’t know?”
The two men smiled at each other and then said: “Prince Jin is back . The God of War of Chu Country is back . After he regained control of the Northwest Army, they break through to the enemy forces in Xiye Country . This good news has been sent to the palace . People in the capital had been talking about this . ”
Bai Zhi tightly clutched to her clothes, as her heart skipped a beat: “So, did they won the battle? Is the war in the Northwest has ended?”
The man immediately waved his hand: “Although we have won several consecutive battles, the war hasn’t stopped . The Xiye Country is determined to fight until the end . They even sent reinforcements . This war, I’m afraid they will continue fighting . ”

Zhao Sue asked anxiously: “So, how long will it take?”
The man looked at Zhao Sue strangely . The woman in front of him looked abnormal . It seemed that the war had a lot to do with her . As a commoner, it would be enough to live an ordinary life . So why is she asking such things? Not to mention, she is a woman .
Despite his doubts, he still said the truth: “No one knows how long it will take . I heard that Prince Jin and the General of Xiye Country had been fighting for years before . The Xiye Country was forced to retreat, but it didn’t stop them to try seizing the great mountains and rivers of our Chu Country . ”
Bai Zhi held Zhao Sue’s hand under the table, reminding her to calm down . They shouldn’t let these people notice something .
Zhao Sue took a deep breath and suppressed the panic and anxiety in her heart . She pretended to be calm and took the teacup on the table to drink, but her pale face and trembling hands sold her .
