After Zhao Yuan got out of the car, he saw Cheng Xin kneeling on the side of the road with many entourages, waiting for the emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a pity that Zhao Yuan didn't appreciate his actions, and he didn't have a smile on his face, but said tepidly: "Aiqing should have been handling business in the capital at this time, why did he take people to northern Xinjiang." This is really not what you, a first-class minister, should do. ”

Cheng Xin was not surprised by the emperor's reproach, he still lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, when you left Luoyang, you did not explain in detail the reason for leaving and the time of return. Now that nearly ten days have passed, the recitals in various places above the court have piled up, and the ministers are also discussing, so ......"

"So you should stay in the capital to solve problems for me, why bother to travel so far to toss, aren't you adding chaos to me?" Zhao Yuan interrupted him, and his face became even more unsightly.

"Your Majesty...... The minister came on his own initiative this time because the minister was worried about the emperor's safety. Cheng Xin tried hard to explain, although he knew that no matter what he said, it would be difficult to gain the emperor's understanding: "There are constant wars in various parts of northern Xinjiang, and although the people of Chigu are impressed by the emperor's benevolence and submit to the Great Qi, the tribe still wants to provoke war. The minister couldn't rest assured, so he rushed over with his entourage to escort him. ”

Zhao Yuan's deep eyes swept over the entourage of hundreds of people behind Cheng Xin, and smiled faintly: "Just these people you bring with you are enough to escort me." If you are serious about escorting, should you bring troops from the nearest state capital? ”

"This ......" Cheng Xin was speechless when asked by Zhao Yuan.

Indeed, although Zhao Yuan brought only a few hundred royal guards, they were in contact with the prefectures and counties along the way, and they could deploy troops to protect the emperor at any time. And Cheng Xin was entrusted by the queen to stop the emperor from bringing his favored beauty back to the palace, in order to arrive in time to intercept the emperor's convoy on the way, he had to speed up, and in order to speed up, he couldn't bring too many people, only a few hundred henchmen.

Zhao Yuan saw that Cheng Cheng was speechless when asked, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he gave him a step and said, "Since Aiqing came from the post station, has the post station been arranged?" I rested in the carriage for days, and I was also annoyed. ”

Cheng Xin secretly sighed, and immediately said, "The minister is ready, just wait for the arrival of the holy car." ”

Zhao Yuan said indifferently: "In this case, you don't have to waste time, just drive to the post station immediately." ”

After Cheng Xin waited for Zhao Yuan to get into the carriage, he immediately took his entourage to open the way for Zhao Yuan's convoy. He was ahead of the curve.

He thought as he rode his horse: "The emperor looks radiant, and he seems to be younger than a few years ago. It can be seen that this beauty is not simple, and the emperor is not a whim for her, but seems to have true feelings. Such a situation only occurred when the concubine was there. For several years after her death, the emperor looked very depressed. If this girl can get the emperor's sincerity, she will definitely be like a concubine who will favor the six palaces, and at that time, the queen's life will be even more sad. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an astonishing thought: "Instead of this, wouldn't it be better to not let this scourge return to Luoyang and let her die directly on the road?" ”

But he also understands that the emperor cares so much about this woman in his heart, and he will definitely strengthen protection, how can he do it?

After thinking about it, he decided to set up a mechanism in advance on a cliff that must be passed on the way back to Beijing, and invited the emperor to get off the carriage before crossing the cliff, and when there was only one beauty left in the car, he pushed the horse off the cliff.

After he had calculated it, he called his two henchmen over and whispered a few words to them.

Both of them have received the great favor of Cheng Xinxin, and all the children in the family live on Cheng Xinxin's funding, so it is impossible for them to betray him. After Cheng Xin told these two people about his plan, these two eyes agreed without even blinking, and repeatedly swore that no matter whether this matter succeeded or not, they would kill themselves immediately and would never expose Cheng Xin.

For the loyalty of the two of them, Cheng Xin naturally knew in his heart, otherwise he would not have given such a task to the two of them. Cheng Xinxin's biggest worry now is how to make this plan perfect, without flaws, and can kill the emperor's favored beauty at once, and must not leave her alive.

Out of prudence, and at the same time not wanting to arouse the doubts of the royal guards, Cheng Xin did not let these two set off immediately to set up a mechanism. Instead, let them settle down at the post station first, and the farmer who pretended to be delivering melons and vegetables to the post station early tomorrow morning left naturally. Only in this way can you escape the surveillance of the shrewd royal guards.

After arranging everything, Cheng Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "If this matter can be successful, the queen will owe me a great favor, and after returning to the capital, see what she will do to repay me." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile as he sat on the horse.

After coming to the post station, Zhao Yuan took Yunyang's men and got out of the carriage. Because there are beauties here, Cheng Xinxin and the others all bowed their heads and almost prostrate on the ground to salute.

Zhao Yuan saw that the night was dark at this time, so he thoughtfully put the hood of the silver rat skin cloak on her for Yun Yang, and said softly: "It's warm in the car, it's windy here, you have to wrap it tightly, be careful of the wind and cold." ”

Yun Yang was really embarrassed to see him speak so softly in front of so many people, so he nudged his hand and said, "The emperor's hand is colder than the hand of the concubine, but he came to the concubine first." ”

As he spoke, he gently held his slightly cool fingertips into the palm of his hand.

Zhao Yuan looked at Yun Yang's slightly flushed cheeks, feeling the heat in her little hand, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Then, the two of them didn't say anything, just supported each other and walked forward.

After Zhao Yuan and Yunyang entered the post station, and the royal guards followed behind, they all rushed in, and Cheng Xin's entourage, who knelt on both sides of the road, straightened up. However, they immediately found that Master Cheng Xin still maintained a kneeling posture and did not move!

Everyone looked at each other, I don't know why my lord, did he accidentally twist his waist just now, or did he make this appearance to express his respect for the emperor?

But now that the emperor and the guards have entered, the road is empty, and the emperor can't see Lord Cheng's actions?

The crowd was confused, and a bold and gentle call called, "My lord, my lord! ”

Cheng Xin remained motionless and ignored him.

Everyone felt that something was wrong, and they all stepped forward and said: "Lord Cheng, Lord Cheng!" ”

Many voices rang in Cheng Xin's ears at the same time, which woke him up from the huge panic just now. He looked up palely and muttered, "How is that possible! ”
