The queen said, "Now you can rest assured, right?" The Lan and Yi have no manpower to deal with you. The other forces will not be friendly with you. If I hadn't been scared this time, I wouldn't have dared to make a move on you. So, don't worry, come and trade. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "But two years later, won't the Lan clan and the Yi clan recruit any more good players from the clan?" A few thousand people are not a problem. ”

The queen said, "Yes, a few thousand, and they will soon be able to be summoned from the people." However, I will not give them a chance to turn over. As you saw before, I befriended Lan Mei in the Lan Clan. With her here, I believe that she will definitely be able to bring down Lan Ling. She's not going to do anything to you. On the contrary, she will also use my power, as well as the power of your Nanyang and Great Chu caravans to establish her position in the Lan Clan. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "This time, the power of the Lan clan has been dispersed, and all the control of Guangzhou City has been handed over to the queen. The queen must have already deployed and taken corresponding measures, and when the time comes, even if the Lan and Yi tribes transfer manpower from the clan land, it will be useless to think about it. ”

The queen smiled when she heard this, and suddenly understood what Chen Wenhui meant. Chen Wenhui is asking for credit, is this to ask for benefits? However, what people said is also right, in the city of Guangzhou, all forces are mixed together, and the queen's governance is very difficult. This time, taking advantage of the weakened strength of the Lan and Yi clans, she can finally show her strength. Speaking of which, it was really thanks to the help of the Zhao family.

Although the queen has the cunning of a politician, she still has the enthusiasm and wildness of the Baiyi people. Grievances and distinct personalities. So, when she heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "Although you have inadvertently helped me in this regard, I still have to thank you." You put forward conditions, right? ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "When I come to pick up the books and pick up my maid in two days, I will talk to the queen again." ”

The Queen nodded.

Chen Wenhui and his wife were ready to say goodbye.

Suddenly, the queen said, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to inform you." ”

Chen Wenhui and his wife looked at the queen.

The queen said nonchalantly, "Your Emperor has died. ”

This is really big news, Chen Wenhui couldn't close her mouth in shock. Zhao Chongyi, who was on the side, also stood up all of a sudden.

Chen Wenhui was stunned for a moment, very unhappy, and said, "The emperor has died, such big news." Why didn't you tell us until now? ”

It's been a long time since they've been in the palace. It's been a while just to talk around. There was also the opening of the treasure box, and some exchanges were also conducted. However, these queens regarded them as important things and talked to the two of them one by one. It's just such a heavy message. It's all gone. Just said, it's still such an understatement.

The queen did not feel guilty at all and said: "Although we in southern Xinjiang also respect the head of the Great Chu Emperor. However, it was the Great Chu Emperor after all. The emperor of Great Chu has died, what does it matter to us? It's because of our personal friendship that you're the only one. ”

Chen Wenhui and his wife heard this, and they couldn't say anything more. What the queen said was the truth, although they respected the throne of the Great Chu Emperor in southern Xinjiang. However, in fact, Da Chu has no binding force on southern Xinjiang at all. Not only could you not send officials. Even, in the past, when the emperor succeeded to the throne and the old emperor died, southern Xinjiang did not even participate in a congratulatory gift or funeral, nor did it send envoys to the capital. Of course, the queen didn't care about the affairs of the Great Chu Emperor. However, she didn't care, but Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but care. They hurriedly bid farewell to the queen and took Luo Ding and Lu Yu back to the inn.

When they arrived at the inn, they were surrounded by their own people, and Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi had the heart to speak considerately.

Chen Wenhui said: "The emperor has died, so I don't know if the crown prince has succeeded to the throne?" Has there been any change in the capital? ”

Chen Wenhui's parents are both in the capital, and they are both powerful people, and there is turmoil that connects them first. Can Chen Wenhui not be in a hurry?

Zhao Chongyi is also worried. His father is a famous general of Da Chu, an old loyal and righteous man. His eldest brother is the current loyal and righteous duke, and they are all important ministers of the court. and his friend Liu Jingyuan is also an important minister, not to mention the crown prince, he is in the center of power. By the way, in the county lord's mansion in the capital, there is also his sister Rongxue.

There is a connection to their hearts in this capital, something so big has happened, how can they not be in a hurry? I was anxious to know the shape of the capital, and I was anxious to know what happened to my relatives and friends.

Zhao Chongyi said: "I went outside to call the guards to come over and send a message to the people outside Lingnan, there should be news coming soon." ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, but now far water can't quench her thirst, so she can only do this.

Zhao Chongyi went out for a while and came back, still holding a few notes in his hand. He said with a happy face: "Hui'er, don't worry. There has been news from the capital. It's just that we are all in the palace, so we didn't receive it. As soon as I went out, I saw some of the leaders of the guards in the side courtyard, and they hurried to bring the notes from a few carrier pigeons. We weren't there, and they weren't open, so we didn't know what was going on. I quickly took a look. The capital has been stabilized, and nothing major has happened. ”

Chen Wenhui calmed down when she heard this. Come over and read the note with Zhao Chongyi.

This note was sent by an official in Jiangnan. There are those sent by the Zhao family in the capital, those sent by Liu Jingyuan, and those sent by Chen Yuanheng.

The husband and wife watched it and had a general understanding of the situation in the capital.

Chen Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, there have been no major changes in the capital, and everything is in order." The eldest aunt became the queen mother. Sister Wenfeng became the queen. The crown prince succeeded to the throne. Our Chen family, Xiao Chen's family has risen this time. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "Our Zhao family has also risen because of the succession of the crown prince. ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Wenhui said: "Now that the capital is mourning, it is estimated that it will be too late for us to rush back now." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Even if it's late, we have to rush back in the starry night, or there will be no imperial history to impeach us." ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and said, "Hey, it's really annoying, I'm most impatient to rush like this." What's more, it's not for good things, it's for a funeral. Of course, it's a top-notch funeral. ”

Zhao Chongyi was already accustomed to Chen Wenhui often saying such rebellious things, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't travel under the stars, you have to hurry back." The crown prince is now on the throne, and it is precisely when we are needed. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about the friendship between Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan, and understood: "Okay then." But our book hasn't been copied yet, so we have to wait for the book to be copied and bring the water red, and the water lotus is good. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Yes, fortunately, our goods have been shipped out, and when they have copied the book, we can set off." Without baggage, even if we are in a normal hurry, it is estimated that we can reach Shaocheng in three days. After arriving in Shaocheng, we will be able to join our army hidden in the Lingnan Mountains, and they will be able to walk very fast after they open the way for us and cut off, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach beyond the Lingnan Mountains in two or three days. Once there, we can take a boat all the way to Qingyang City. Even if you take a boat day and night, it's just a little hard work for the people below, and you don't have to work hard. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "Shui Hong and Shui Lian, they are both very fast, although those two books are thick, but the two of them have been copying day and night, and they can copy it in three days." We're taking advantage of these two days to prepare. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

After discussing this point, Zhao Chongyi went out, and this had to be explained to the captains of the guards, so that the guards could arrange their trips. After this qiē, it's already dinner time. Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi ate together.

After the meal, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered something and asked, "Before, you were in the ring, I was really worried. Especially at the beginning, Wu Lilan suddenly smashed into you, why did you get distracted? What do you think? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's really distracted." One thing comes to mind. ”

As he spoke, he said what he had thought about in the ring before.

Chen Wenhui said reproachfully: "How can this kind of thing be thought of in the ring, when life and death are at stake?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Where is the matter of life and death? When we were fighting in the Northwest, it was a matter of life and death. I have known the strength of Wu Lilan in advance. It's just a horizontal practice of the outer gate of southern Xinjiang. Compared with the authentic Xuanmen internal strength, this kind of kung fu is far behind. However, it is still good to use it for war. But when used in the ring, let alone me, it's just a few of my personal guards, a few captains of the escort team, all of which can easily take down Wu Lilan. So, I really didn't take him to heart yet. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, indeed, Zhao Chongyi's overall appearance in the ring was relaxed and freehand, where did he feel like fighting for his life?

Zhao Chongyi said: "I have long known that there is a cover door for practicing kung fu at the outer door. It looks very powerful, but as long as you find the location of the cover door, you can easily defeat the enemy. In my sources, there is no information on where the hood door is. Therefore, I deliberately provoked him and dodged him with light body skills, and the more he made moves, the more real I saw it. If you look at it more, you can find out where the cover door is, and then take advantage of his inattention to defeat the enemy with one move, how easy is it? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Count you smart." But promise me that you won't let me be so scared next time. Although we won this time, we couldn't have been so lucky every time. I don't want you to be in danger like this again. ”

Zhao Chongyi was very moved when he heard this, and couldn't help hugging Chen Wenhui, and said softly: "No, I still have a wife, I have to give birth to a son, a daughter, and a new Zhao family, how can I be in danger." ”

Chen Wenhui, who said this, blushed, broke free and escaped from Zhao Chongyi's arms, and said: "If you are serious, you will not be serious." ”

Zhao Chongyi said seriously: "I have been talking seriously all morning, where is it not serious?" ”

Chen Wenhui was speechless, and her pink face turned even redder.

Zhao Chongyi was thrilled when he saw it. (To be continued......)
