Chapter 50: Paving the Way

Qiqiao looked at Ke Xiyuan's clothes, and always felt that it was too plain, "Grandma, there will be an official to guide you in a while, are you dressed too plainly?" How about adding a few hairpins? ”

Ke Xiyuan wore a moon-white robe today, covered with a gold wire cover, her hair was tied in a lily bun by Jiuhui, only two white hostas were inserted, and a jade bracelet was put on her hand, so there was nothing else.

"That's it, and you don't stand out too much. This time, we are here to pray for blessings, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers. From now on, living in this Yunyin Temple, where do you still need those head jewelry? After Ke Xiyuan got married, Qiqiao and Jiuhui both intended to dress her up brightly, and it was she herself who began to be a little unaccustomed to such a plain dress. However, this trip is mainly safe, and since it is under the guise of praying for blessings, it must also be done in a similar way.

Jiuhui still took a string of beads from the jewelry box and hung it around Ke Xiyuan's neck, "Grandma, although she is pure, she can't lose her identity." This string of beads is not eye-catching, but it is very precious, and it is also very worthy of your clothes. ”

Ke Xiyuan then remembered that this was sent by the crown princess in the palace before the trip. frowned, "Then take it!" ”

After packing up, Ke Xiyuan went to the bow of the boat, saw Zhou Chenyu standing with his hands in his hands, smiled, and walked over to hold him, "What's wrong?" ”

"When you arrive at the shore today, there will be officials to greet you. I'm afraid you don't know that the biggest official in this area of the Huai River is Cao Mingyuan, the governor of Huainan. Just by looking at whether he comes today or not, we know the danger of our journey. Zhou Chenyu had a lot of worries in his heart, and he came to the Huaihe River many times, which was extremely dangerous. This time with Ke Xiyuan. It is necessary to be more careful. hugged Ke Xiyuan tighter, "Ke Ying can only follow you this time, you know?" ”

"Then ...... around you". Ke Xiyuan knew that this trip was dangerous, but Zhou Chenyu only had Ryan by his side, plus a Ke Fang, which was also pitiful.

"You don't believe me, don't worry! There are at least twenty masters on this trip, and they are with us all the way, when necessary. They'll show up. You don't have to worry about me, as long as you're safe, I'll be safe. ”。 Zhou Chenyu took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Ke Xiyuan, "When necessary, take this to ......." carefully instructed in Ke Xiyuan's ear. I was relieved to look at the riverbank that I could already see.

"There's already someone waiting there." , Ke Xiyuan clenched the jade that still had Zhou Chenyu's body temperature, and began to be a little nervous.

"Hmm!" , Zhou Chenyu responded casually, turned to Ryan and said, "Call everyone out and get ready to get off the boat!" ”

"Yes!" Ryan arched his hand. I thought about it again, "What are those people going to do?" ”

"I'll give it to them in a moment! Just say. This is a gift from the county lord to the governor, and they must be entertained well and used to repair the river embankment. Zhou Chenyu showed a subtle smile, and without saying much, Ryan already understood.

"Are you really going to put everyone back? Isn't this a return to the mountains? Ke Xiyuan didn't understand Zhou Chenyu's purpose for doing this, so she still asked.

"Don't worry, I've sent away one of your secret guards who they want. The rest are just shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and it is unknown whether they can survive when they go back. Yuanyuan, don't worry. Zhou Chenyu thought, should I still find that guy to "borrow" a few people, otherwise Ke Xiyuan still has so many female dependents around him, what should I do?

"What about Xiaosheng? They are looking for this child, and we will ...... like this in a while", Ke Xiyuan thought of Xiao Sheng's miserable white face last night, and knew that this child was still afraid of being caught.

"Don't worry, he has already disembarked early in the morning, you don't have to worry, I will protect him!"

Ke Xiyuan didn't expect that Zhou Chenyu had done such a thorough job, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while, "You actually did so well." ”

"Silly girl, if I really don't have the slightest ability, how could the Holy One send me here. I won't tell you the truth, in this Huai River area, if you want to say who is more familiar than me, I really can't pick out a few people. The saint has the heart to let the crown prince succeed to the throne, so he will naturally solve this series of troubles for the prince. And this person can only be me, or the previous hard work will be in vain. I promise you that this is the only time in my life that I will take you into danger. In the days to come, I will never let you be separated from Brother Yao again, and I will not let you face danger. Zhou Chenyu is also a little worried about Brother Yao in the capital, so this time, he can only succeed, not fail.

"This time the stakes are very big, with the identity of you and me, where can you be ...... smoothly", Ke Xiyuan couldn't help but be dissatisfied, Emperor Longqing didn't even give Zhou Chenyu a blatant identity on the surface, and how did he solve this matter? As far as she is a county lord, she is not enough for a Huainan governor to see. The governor of Huainan is a second-class officer! In the eyes of these people, she is at most a girl with a good family background, and then her ancestors accumulate virtue and mix up the identity of a county lord. And the man next to him is just a four-grade guard commander, and he can't hold it down. In the end, what Emperor Longqing thought, Ke Xiyuan was not sure.

"Silly girl, now that the four seas are leveling, the Holy Lord has crowned the prince. However, over the years, the crown prince has been too mediocre in the court, and since he came to the throne, he has also tried his best to cultivate himself, and he has not made any outstanding contributions. Zhou Chenyu said this, so he didn't say anything. This trip, even if it is for the crown prince, he will come. For the sake of my best friend, this trip is worth it.

"In other words, we're here to pave the way!" , Ke Xiyuan realized that Emperor Longqing wanted to pave the way for his son at this time, so he asked them to come to the danger. Although this era pursues the principle that the monarch and the minister must die, but in her heart, she doesn't think so.

"Yuanyuan, after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, we will be better. Don't you really want to walk with me all over this great river and mountain? When I go back this time, I will resign, and then we will be free in the future. Zhou Chenyu patted Ke Xiyuan on the shoulder, knowing that she didn't like it.

"Chenyu, is it really possible? For some reason, I always had a bad premonition. I just think it's not that simple. ", Emperor Longqing used Zhou Chenyu to open the way for the prince like this, and he was extremely unhappy. In her opinion, if the prince really has the ability, he should come himself.

"Silly girl, you must be wondering why the prince didn't come in person. If I sue you, and the prince follows us all the way down in the shadows, will you believe it? Zhou Chenyu's voice was very low, except for the husband and wife, no one might be able to hear it anymore.

Ke Xiyuan was surprised again, he never thought that Emperor Longqing would want the prince of a country to go deep into the tiger's den.

"Yuanyuan, the one who is in the upper position, must have a trial. This is the trial that the Holy God gave to His Highness, and he can't avoid it. So this time, if I don't come, I'll still come. I didn't want you to be involved, but your character, don't tell you, you're just afraid that you will find a way to know. All I ask you is to protect yourself, no matter what happens! Zhou Chenyu spent less time by Ke Xiyuan's side this way, and spent more time listening to the news. Since entering Huainan, everything has been under Cao Mingyuan's nose, and he has to be careful.

"I see." , Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Ke Xiyuan's heart gradually calmed down. No matter what happens, she will be with him. (To be continued......)
