"So......" Luo Liyao's heart was suddenly shocked, and her fingers tightened unconsciously, "The sudden death of my father back then, there is another hidden secret!" ”

Ye Luoqing patted her on the shoulder to show comfort, and changed the subject: "Let's get to the south city gate soon, I just saw His Majesty on the city tower." ”

Luo Liyao lowered her eyes, still clenching her fingers, and didn't react otherwise.

"Your Highness, don't think about it anymore." Ye Luoqing smiled, as if he had expected it, "Don't drill into the horns, let alone push yourself down the road to a dead end - the pattern of this world is already changing, and we really don't have much time." ”

Luo Liyao let out a long sigh, still silent and did not speak, only curled up her body together and held her head with both hands.

The long tassels hanging from the jade crown knocked together and made a tinkling sound, which was in perfect tune with the music played by the musicians along the way.

The music was festive, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.

There is another secret to the sudden death of his father - what can be hidden?

It's nothing more than someone secretly attacking him, making his physical condition deteriorate sharply, so as to achieve that person's own goals. And the Shi family is just an insignificant victim in that man's plan.

So what is his purpose? It is nothing more than to achieve something that is beneficial to him.

Then follow this line to think about the people who benefited from Luo Zhuangxi's death - the first one is Luo Xizheng, and then Ning Zhong and Zhao Qianyuan.

Ye Luoqing also thought of this, so he persuaded her not to drill the horns, let alone push herself to a dead end.

She owes the teacher justice, so she must find out the truth, which is understandable.

But now is not the best time.

Ye Luoqing approached her and told her in detail about what he had seen and heard on the road to Tianqi, as well as Luo Chengjuan's recent movements.

Whether it is the flood that will break out in Weiyan soon, or Luo Chengjuan who did not go to Wuyi Pingsha after escaping from Qiushui, these things should not be underestimated.

The Northern Plains Tianqi Kingdom, as the name suggests, is mostly a flat plain area.

The wedding procession went all the way, but they also came to Nanchuan City, the southernmost border city of Tianqi, safely and smoothly.

After about 300 miles of Nanchuan City, it is the dividing line between Tianqi and Weiyan, and it is also the place where the Xiangjiang River flows directly to Shenchu.

From here, the group had to turn to the waterway, and through the Xiangjiang River, they would go directly to the royal city of Shenchu: Cangxia City.

There are messengers back and forth all the time, and they are too busy to touch the ground - in addition to reporting the itinerary of the family sending team to Cangxia City and Qiushui City, it is also necessary to tell the team about some of the cities that are about to pass through, and remind the city lord or guard to prepare supplies in advance.

And according to the elimination that Chu Lingze got the day before yesterday

The army sent by Shen Chu to meet them will arrive at the majestic city of Linhe in five days. In order not to let the Weiyan royal family be distracted, he also asked the county lord's wedding team to hurry up, arrive at Linhe City earlier, and leave Weiyan sooner.

It was September when the departure was in September, and the journey from Qiushui City to Shenchu was extremely long, and the wedding date returned by the king of Shenchu was set for November 15, and everyone in the wedding procession inevitably hurried around the road.

After Chu Lingze received this news, he immediately went to Luo Liyao to discuss, and finally Luo Liyao ordered - it would take two days to rush to Nanchuan City, and then go to Linhe City after one day of repair.

The schedule was so tight that everyone had to work day and night without sleep.

Most of the attendants around him are soldiers, and it is needless to say that he has the ability to endure hardships and stand hard work. Ye Luoqing and Chu Lingze have traveled all over the world, and they have long been accustomed to such a tiring journey; Tianji and Tang Haoqi are accustomed to being carefree, and they are people who practice martial arts, so far away from the palace, they are naturally so happy that they get carried away.

However, Luo Liyao and Meng Liran, who were pampered, began to be a little unsupportable.

Luo Liyao had already removed the heavy jade crown on her head, but just after a few breaths, she was swayed by the bumpy carriage and had a headache.

After forcibly drinking a few sips of water, she decided to sleep to get rid of this headache and dizziness.

Meng Liran's reaction was even more violent, sometimes dizzy and nauseous, sometimes vomiting, only tossing Ying Qiong was busy. In the end, Tang Haoqi couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly brought some mints to her, and the situation was much better.

Nanchuan City is the town guard place of Mengbi, the daughter of the Mongolian family, and when the team marched to the gate of Nanchuan City, Mengbi, who came on a horse in military uniform, had already been waiting in front of the open city gate for a long time.

"This is finally a day off, otherwise my mints will be eaten by the little princess." Tang Haoqi cried bitterly, and when he saw that the people in front of him had stopped, he hurriedly grabbed the reins and jumped out of the car, knocking on the carriage door, "Your Highness, senior, let's go to Nanchuan City - it's so desolate, it deserves to be the border." ”

Luo Liyao heard Tang Haoqi's call, woke up slowly, and with the help of Ye Luoqing, she quickly freshened up and got out of the carriage.

Although Nanchuan City is in the southernmost part of Tianqi, according to the known land territory in the world, it is still located in the north, and the terrain is much more complex than other places in Tianqi, closer to the hills and mountains, so it is called "Nanchuan City".

As one of the four border cities of Tianqi, the environment near Nanchuan City is not too good, and there are occasional sandstorms, but it really can't afford the word "desolate".

"I'm afraid you haven't seen the majestic Linyuan City, that's really desolate." Tianji snorted, disgusted him and said, "It's rare and weird, Nanchuan City is just that the surrounding water and soil are not good, and it can be prosperous inside." ”

Tang Haoqi grimaced at him: "You know again."

”

"Yes, I'm well-informed." Tianji raised his eyebrows at him, looked around, and saw that Luo Liyao and Ye Luoqing finally got out of the car, "Your Highness, over there." ”

Luo Liyao looked in the direction he was pointing, just in time to see Meng Bi turn over and dismount, hand the saber in his hand to the adjutant beside him, and walk towards them quickly.

Rao is many people were separated by people, and Meng Bi still saw Luo Liyao's location with excellent eyes, and walked straight to her: "Your Highness." ”

Although it is Meng Liran's send-off team, for Meng Bi, Shen Chu's crown prince Chu Lingze and his cousin Li Ran, the county lord, are indeed not as important as this Princess Zhenli.

"Miss Meng...... No, it should be General Meng now. Luo Liyao took a few deep breaths of unfamiliar but fresh air, only then did she feel that the scattered pain in her brain was relieved a little, and replied to her with a smile, "Today and tomorrow, I will trouble you." ”

"This is the minister's honor."

Meng Mo lowered his head in response, and then turned his eyes to the sedan chair on the side - Chu Lingze was very worried and helped Meng Liran down with Ying Qiong, and the bright red dress that matched her was on his body, which made his face like a crown of jade, gentle and elegant.

"This is Shen Chu's crown prince?" Meng Bi glanced at him lightly, just looking at his appearance, he felt that he was a somewhat weak child of the royal family, and there were still some whispers in his heart, "I hope he can always protect Li Ran." ”

Luo Liyao smiled and Ye Luoqing nodded, and the latter willingly pulled Tianji and Tang Haoqi directly to do things.

All of a sudden, the surroundings of the two of them were empty.

"Don't worry, he's not that simple." Luo Liyao also looked intently at Meng Liran, who was lying in Chu Lingze's arms, and said softly, "The army sent by Shen Chu should have entered the territory of Weiyan, how is the situation?" ”

Meng Bi slowly turned her eyes to Luo Liyao beside her, she hadn't seen her for a long time, her state of mind was no longer the same as before, but the person in front of her was still as unforgettable as before.

"The Weiyan royal family didn't react, after all, there were only about three hundred people, which didn't pose a threat at all in their eyes - but the leader was not trivial, and the princess needed to be more careful."

"Who is it?"

"One of the four fierce generals under the command of Shen Chu Yongye - Zuo Ying, known as the 'Eagle Heart Eagle Claw'."

"Left Eagle?" Ye Luoqing made some braziers to burn more violently, "I did hear a lot about him before, but ...... Why did His Highness suddenly ask about this person? ”

Nanchuan City is relatively remote, and the living conditions are naturally not as good as those in Qiushui City, and even the heating is mostly done with braziers instead of charcoal basins. And the temperature difference between day and night in Nanchuan City is very large, obviously it is only about to enter October, but the night is as cold as winter - Luo Liyao is wrapped in several layers of winter clothes, but she is still there

I felt cold, so I simply put on a fur coat and sat by the brazier with Ye Luoqing to keep warm.

"Huh-I heard what General Meng said, this time Shen Chu sent him to pick us up." Luo Liyao sighed unconsciously and rubbed his hands, "It is said that he is called 'Eagle Heart Eagle Claw', I'm afraid it's not just because of his name. ”

Although Luo Liyao's body is already half better, she is still inferior to those of them who have martial arts internal strength, but sitting by the brazier together, Ye Luoqing is only wearing plain clothes, but she is wearing fur, and she is already shivering a little cold.

Seeing this, Ye Luoqing made the brazier more vigorous, and took another big coat to put on for her, before continuing: "Yes - I heard that when Shen Chu was fighting in the Southern Wilderness, General Yongye was besieged by tens of thousands of troops of the Southern Wilderness, and it was the Zuo Ying General beside him, who only led a team of men and horses, and fought his way out of the bloody road with his own skills, and led everyone to break out of the army of the Southern Wilderness. ”

Luo Liyao wrapped herself tightly and listened carefully, the charcoal in the brazier in front of her beeped, together with Ye Luoqing's voice, became a rare sound in this silent night.

"After that battle, the people of the Southern Wilderness were in a state of collapse and no longer dared to fight with Shen Chu - in fact, it was not that the tactics of the people of the Southern Wilderness had a problem, but that they were frightened and did not dare to fight again. Zuo Ying's ten fingers were born extremely slender, and the bronze finger knife he had built for himself was like a tiger. Ye Luoqing sighed slightly, quite compassionate, "It is said that in that breakthrough battle, the people he killed were directly taken out of their hearts...... Who! ”

Ye Luoqing sighed, and suddenly turned to the door and shouted, at the same time, a strange knock sounded.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

"Who is it?"

Ye Luoqing drank again, but no one answered outside the door, only a regular knock on the door.

The two glanced at each other, and in addition to surprise and solemnity in their eyes.

This is in Nanchuan City, which is guarded by Meng Fu, the daughter of the Mongolian family, who would come late at night - so mysteriously and secretly, he does not declare his identity, but still knocks on the door directly so openly?
