Five days later, the letter from Xijing finally arrived in Suibei City.

Moreover, what Xiao Jin expected was almost the same as the monarch of Qi was new, and the monarch of Qin also wanted to support Xiao Zishuo to return to China to inherit the throne.

This kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the nations, and when Xiao Zishuo was accepted to come to the Qin State, the Qin State had already laid the groundwork for this matter.

Even if Xiao Zishuo stayed in Qin State no longer satisfactorily, when Qin State promoted him to the position of the Duke of Guo, he naturally wanted to "repay" Qin State's great kindness.

This "kindness" is the fundamental reason why Qin State accepted Xiao Zishuo's hostage.

Although Xiao Zishuo is the eldest son of the late Duke of Qi and the first choice for the prince, where will the political situation and court affairs wait for him to inherit smoothly.

Moreover, Qin Guo had already received the news that Xiao Zishuo's younger brother Gongziyan was the main stumbling block to his succession to the throne.

That Gongziyan's mother is the princess of the Chu State, and she is very happy with the Duke of Qi, and when she let Xiao Zishuo go out of Qin as a hostage, there are also Guogongs who hope that Xiao Zishuo will stay away from the Qi State and die in a foreign land, because he wants Gongziyan to succeed to the throne.

After Gongzishuo left the Qi Kingdom, Gongziyan and his mother Mrs. Mi cultivated wings in the court to prepare for Gongziyan's succession.

And according to some gossip, I'm afraid that Qi Gong's death is also related to the mother and son.

Once Gongziyan succeeds to the throne, the relationship between the Qi State and the Chu State will be one step closer.

Qin naturally did not want to see such a thing happen, so after receiving the news of the death of Duke Qi, he immediately sent someone to send the letter to Suibei City, and asked Zhao Zhihai to send someone to escort Gongzi Shuo through Hexi from Shangdang to the east of the Yellow Water to Qi without having to return to Xijing.

On the day and night of the letter, Xiao Jin and others nervously arranged many chores for Xiao Zishuo's return to the east.

Although there are many things, Xiao Jin still handles them in an orderly and proper manner.

Everyone had already received the order, and they would set out on the road to the east of Qi early the next morning.

Moreover, Zhao Zhihai ordered his general Zhong Xu to personally lead the 10,000 troops of Suibei City to escort Xiao Zishuo's return to the east, in order to ensure that Xiao Zishuo can successfully ascend the throne, Gu Daoyuan, the first strategist in Zhao Zhihai's mansion, will also accompany him.

On this day and night, there was chaos and noise inside and outside the city of Suibei, and the movement of soldiers and horses resounded throughout the whole city of Suibei, from the camp outside the city to the Wenhua Hall of Zhaofu on the road, vehicles, horses, servants and soldiers came and went.

No one noticed that in the middle of the night, when Xiao Jin drove Xiao Zishuo's carriage and retrieved the documents from the Zhao Mansion, there were two more people in the carriage.

A gorgeous carriage looked particularly abrupt in the eyes of the Zhao family's family and the soldiers who came and went, but it was precisely like this, no one would be stupid enough to block the carriage to see who was sitting there.

When the carriage came to the door of the post house, Xiao Zishuo, who had been waiting in the post house for a long time, strode into the car.

Xiao Jin then ordered his men and Xiao Zishuo's servants to quickly follow and go out of the city.

"There's Lao Xiao's son."

When the carriage left the city gate, one of the people in the carriage nodded slightly to Xiao Zishuo and said.

Xiao Zishuo naturally understood that the person who spoke was Zhao Qing'er.

As soon as he got in the car, he found that Zhao Qinger and the others were already dressed as men, and they were also wearing a hat with a black veil.

But he also knew that there were a lot of people around the city, so he didn't talk to him at that time, and it was only at this time that Zhao Qing'er thanked him, and he turned to look out the window and nodded slightly to Zhao Qing'er.

"This is my personal girl, Xiaoying."

Zhao Qing'er naturally knew to introduce the stranger beside him to Xiao Zishuo to avoid his doubts.

Xiao Zishuo smiled slightly, although he couldn't see the appearance of Zhao Qing'er and the two of them clearly, but just by listening to the voice, he knew that Zhao Qing'er must be a stunning woman, and he couldn't help but give Xiao Jin a thumbs up in his heart.

"The young girl came out of the wall." Xiao Zishuo said with a smile, and lowered his head.

At this time, it was dawn, although there was a gauze curtain hanging in the car, but they could vaguely see each other, Zhao Qing'er was stunned when she heard the words and lowered her head, only to see that she and the little warbler beside her were covered with dust, and couldn't help patting the dust on her body with some embarrassment.

But in a burst of coughing, Zhao Qing'er suddenly realized that the space in the car was small, so she hurriedly stopped slapping, lowered her head and was silent.

"Brother Zishuo, it's not far from the time that the middle and the bigger people and General Zhong and the others agreed with us, you sit down, I'm going to speed up."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of talking outside the car, and Zhao Qing'er and Xiao Zishuo in the car naturally knew who was speaking.

"Haha, on the day of his great wedding, he will invite me to a cup of wine."

Xiao Zishuo said to Zhao Qing'er as if he hadn't heard Xiao Jin's words at all.

He saw that Zhao Qing'er lowered his head, so he chuckled a few times with a "hehe" to himself.

Not long after, Xiao Jin watched from a distance the black soldiers and horses lined up on both sides of the official road, and more than a dozen people were riding on horses waiting for Xiao Zishuo's arrival.

After Xiao Jin explained the situation ahead to Xiao Zishuo, the carriage gradually slowed down and slowly walked to the pedestrian and stopped.

Xiao Zishuo said "rest assured" to Zhao Qing'er and the two and then stepped out of the carriage.

Because just now, when Zhao Zhihai's subordinates shouted a salute to the carriage, Xiao Zishuo could clearly see that Zhao Qing'er was already trembling.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhihai and the others, Xiao Jin drove the carriage on.

The parting remarks between her father and Xiao Zishuo came to Zhao Qing'er's ears word for word, and she kept wiping the tears on her face with her hands while trembling.

She felt that her "father" had raised her as an adult, but she had turned her back on him, how could she not be sad.

What exactly are you doing this for?

Is it for Xiao Hibiscus or for his own freedom?

At this moment, Zhao Qing'er fell into a deep confusion, several times she wanted to get out of the car and follow Zhao Zhihai home, but she thought about the good time with Xiao Jin every day, and thought about the man he had placed infinite expectations on, so she gritted her teeth and endured the pain of being separated from her father.

When the carriage began to walk slowly, the young girl watched her father's figure farther and farther through the curtain.

"Qing'er, we succeeded."

Not long after, Zhao Qing'er, who was still grieving, suddenly heard Xiao Jin's slightly excited voice, she nodded subconsciously, but she couldn't say a word in her mouth.

Because for her, there is really no more Zhao Qing'er in the world, but Mrs. Xiao.

"Xiao Zishuo's kid is really interesting, he found a horse to ride, it will be more convenient in the next few days.

It's just that every night when you camp, you have to put on the clothes of the soldiers of the Qi State and pretend to be the guards of Gongzi Shuo. ”

When Xiao Jin said this, she seemed to feel a little wronged by Zhao Qing'er, so she asked in a low voice:

"Qing'er, is this a good arrangement?"

"Good".

It's just such a simple word, but Zhao Qing'er said it categorically.

Although Xiao Jin arranged everything, he still didn't forget to ask for his opinion, although it was just a small detail, but it became Zhao Qing'er's uncomplaining and unrepentant dependence on Xiao Jin.

Naturally, Zhao Qing'er threw away the scruples that made her heart extremely troubled, and she stretched out her jade hand to wipe the tears on her face vigorously.

On the afternoon of the second day, the army arrived at Yuanyou County in Hexi County and stayed there for a day.

Because Fang Yuanheng sent his generals Fang Hengxin and Edo to lead 20,000 elite Hexi to wait for Xiao Zishuo and his party on the right side of Yuan.

Although Xiao Hibiscus was a member of the Edo Shogunate, Edo obviously did not take Xiao Hibiscus seriously, and perhaps he did not remember the existence of such a person as Xiao Hibiscus in his Shogunate.

But Xiao Jin was able to continue to stay by Xiao Zishuo's side because of this, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Originally, he also discussed with Xiao Zishuo that if Edo summoned him to leave, Xiao Zishuo would ask Edo for someone to let him stay, and it seemed that this matter was too much to worry about.

In Xiao Jin's plan, he wants to spend a period of time with Zhao Qing'er in the Qi Kingdom, first, he wants to help Xiao Zishuo ascend to the public throne, and secondly, he also has the idea of avoiding the limelight.

After all, the daughter of Lord Zhao Zhihai is gone, and it is strange that Daqin does not turn the bottom up and down.

When the 30,000 army came to the Shangdang Huangtian Ferry, it had been 12 days since Xiao Jin and others left Suibei City.

Looking at the spectacular situation of the giant ships full of soldiers leaving the Huangtian Ferry and heading east, Xiao Jin secretly took the hand of Zhao Qing'er, who was wearing the uniform of a soldier of the Qi State beside her, and whispered in her ear:

"Qing'er, I, Xiao Jin, swear to this yellow sky and thick earth and this yellow water, I will be good to you in this life."

Zhao Qing'er raised her head, looked at Xiao Jin's eyes full of tears, and smiled.

She looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so she raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes for Xiao Jin.

"Where's Xiao Jin?"

Suddenly, both of them heard the voice of someone asking the surrounding soldiers loudly at the same time.

The two looked intently and saw hundreds of people coming to the Huangtian Ferry, shouting loudly at the crowd on the ferry.

Xiao Jin was wearing a scribe's costume, which was naturally easy to find, and in a moment, dozens of people wearing fine armor walked up to Xiao Jin.

"Which one is Xiao Hibiscus?"

One of them shouted at Xiao Jin and the others.

"The contemptible person is Xiao Jin, I don't know ...... adult"

"Take it for me."

Before Xiao Jin could finish speaking, the man gave an order, and more than a dozen people walked out from behind him, and without saying a word, Xiao Jin, who had just drawn his sword, kicked him to the ground and tied him up.

Even though Xiao Jin has been studying the six arts since he was a child, and his skills such as imperial and archery are above those of ordinary soldiers, how can he stand up to a dozen people holding Changge to strike at the same time, and no matter which of those people can be seen, they are all sharp warriors in a hundred battles.

Xiao Jin struggled desperately while shouting, "What are you doing?" What a sin I have committed. Why are you tying me up?"

At this time, Xiao Jin knew in his heart that no matter what happened at the moment, the only plan was to let Xiao Zishuo know that as long as Xiao Zishuo knew about it, he would definitely come to save him.

So he shouted loudly, hoping that he could create some chaos in the crowd, so that naturally someone would tell Xiao Zishuo, who was with Gu Daoyuan, Fang Hengxin, Zhong Xu, Edo and other generals, what happened here.

But he had just shouted a few words when he saw a figure that made his hair stand on end in front of him.
