"Difficult birth......" Qiu Yue really felt a little unbelievable, although there are not a few women who died of dystocia since ancient times, but a person in the royal family like Zhu Zhiling, the child in the womb may become the fifth generation of princes, how can it be careless, the difficult birth is really unconvincing.

"Eagle Tail, do you remember the news we got outside the Songlan Palace, saying that Zhu Zhiling once sent a secret order to the guards to trap Princess Qingyang in the palace?"

"Yes."

"How many days has it been? Why did he die suddenly? ”

"The slave also feels strange, but serious things are still to come."

"What's the matter?"

"After the Ming Emperor announced his death, he also recalled Lu Xingyuan, the Duke of Peiguo, who had returned home from his old age, and reappointed him as prime minister."

"Oh? What is the rationale for this? Qiu Yue remembered that when she was on the serpentine ship, in order to analyze Su Xiaochen's whereabouts, Zhu Zhitong had told him that she and Su Xiaochen had offended Lu Xingyuan for the Nanhua gold case. There must be something unusual about such an old prime minister who was dismissed half-brightly and half-darkly, and now he is making a comeback.

"I listened to the conversation of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and it seemed that even they themselves were very surprised, saying that the Ming Emperor felt that he had lost the prince and broken his arm, and if there was no one to help him at this time, he was afraid that he would be unable to support it, but they also mentioned another thing."

"What?"

"The Imurans have gathered their army in the city of Baodi."

Qiu Yue somewhat understood, at such a time of internal and external troubles, although it was a last resort to reactivate an old man like Lu Xingyuan, for the Lu family's children, who accounted for a small half of the court, it was already the best choice to stabilize the position and fight the enemy together.

Strange to say...... Twenty-five years ago, with the help of the Cangwu Kingdom, the Bihai Kingdom retreated from the 120,000 iron cavalry of the Imuran Kingdom, and now the Imuran Kingdom is going south again, and the Cangwu Kingdom has no movement.

No, it's not that there is no movement in Cangwu Kingdom!

Qiu Yue suddenly remembered, didn't Cangwu send 100,000 troops to the edge of the Hanjiang River, but the commander was beaten into the river by Yinhua, if it wasn't for Ah Kui and Ah Teng's rescue, he would have died long ago. That silver flower is Zhu Zhiling's right-hand man on the surface, but secretly it is a group of people with Mo Daqiu of the Imuran Merchant Hall, so is it Zhu Zhiling's meaning to kill Mu Yunzuo, or is it the meaning of the Imuran people?

Minoru Akizuki took a deep breath.

In this way, he inadvertently got involved in the conspiracy of the three major countries of Bihai Cangwu and Imuran.

"So why did the Imulans arrest Princess Qingyang?"

Eagle Tail bit her lip lightly and said: "The slave guesses that now the three daughters of Emperor Ming are dying and marrying, which means that the only person who can inherit the throne in the future is Princess Qingyang." But Her Royal Highness the princess is now locked up in the Imuran Merchant House, and the Ming Emperor does not know about it. At present, the Imuram people are gathering their large army in the north, will they want to take His Royal Highness hostage to the Ming Emperor when the southern invasion of the blue sea soldiers is approaching the city? ”

"Sure enough, it's a vicious mind." Qiu Yue hammered the table hard, suddenly felt a little speechless, and smiled apologetically: "I mean the Imulans." ”

Eagle Tail didn't seem to care about Fang Cai Qiuyue's words at all, but hesitated a little unspeakably: "My lord...... Since it is a dispute between their three kingdoms, let's not get involved in it. Although Lin Tongsheng now seems to have taken refuge in the Imurans, we can settle those grievances in private, and we don't have to grudge with the Imurans. What's more, in order to save Her Royal Highness the Princess, this time the Lord was already wounded by an arrow, but fortunately, he missed the vital point, if the Lord was in danger again, Eagle Tail was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Lord Zongzhi......"

Akizuki listened to Eagle's tail and looked at the lampstand for a long time.

Eagle Tail only said that he was moved by his own words, and persuaded softly: "My lord, our people have now settled in Meilongyu, and seeing that the war between their three kingdoms is about to break out, it is expected that there will be no happy land in this Shenzhou in the near future." It's better to get out as soon as possible......"

Qiu Yue suddenly stretched out her hand and gestured, signaling her not to speak yet.

"Eagletail, I think you have a very reasonable sentence."

"What?"

"You explain that the emperor's three daughters, one dies and one marries, and only Princess Qingyang is left who can inherit the throne......"

Washio's mind was quick, and he immediately understood what Akizuki meant, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to ......?"

"Yes, now that Princess Qingyang has been trapped in the Imuran Merchant House, and the meaning of the Imuran people will not be difficult for her for the time being, then if we can save the princess, she will become the king of the blue sea in the future......"

Eagletail was silent.

Zhu Zhitong has had a very good relationship with the people of Liuxia in the past few months, and Qiuyue and herself rescued each other twice in the Songlan Palace and the Imuran Merchant House, although Qiuyue was selfless when she made the move, just out of concern and love. But it is undeniable that if Zhu Zhitong ascends to the throne of the monarch in the future, he will be able to inherit the old love of helping Lu Xia in the past. This is indeed an opportunity for the Luxia people.

But all this is based on the premise of being able to take Zhu Zhitong back from the Imurans, and how difficult this matter is can be imagined.

"Your Excellency...... You can understand everything you said about the eagle tail, but if we want to save the princess, we need to fight against the whole of Imuran, and now that my Luxia people are weak and helpless, this is almost impossible. ”

"So, we have to look for foreign help." Qiu Yue's eyes were still firm.

The eagle tail was stunned, the Liuxia Kingdom is gone, what foreign aid is there?

"Don't worry, Eagletail, I've got an idea. Right now, we're running out of here! ”

"Where to go? Do you want to go back to Meilongyu first? ”

"Yes, let's go back to Meilongyu first, but it's not me, it's you."

Eagletail exclaimed, "My lord! What exactly do adults want to do? How can you not have Eagletail with you? ”

"When you return to Meilongyu, immediately tell Lord Zongzhi everything and my plans, and order him to transfer eight serpentine ships and half of the people in the clan who can participate in the war to come to the aid in person." Qiu Yue said, took off the eight-foot Qiongqu jade in the neck, and solemnly handed it to the eagle tail, "Tell him that when you see this thing, you must persuade him to join me!" ”

"What about my lord? Where do adults want to go when they are alone? ”

"I just said that we need foreign help."

"Where is the foreign aid?"

Qiu Yue smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion, Liu Mingyan!"

Washiotail simply couldn't believe his ears.

"Your Excellency...... My lord! Vulture almost screamed, "It's so easy for us to get rid of the pursuit of the Kuntou ship, and now that the Lord is going to the Governor's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang alone, how can this Eagle Tail promise you?" What's more, you and Liu Mingyan have been fighting secretly for many years, and it is too late for her to hate adults, how can she help adults become helpers, this ...... This ......"

"So, Washio, you have to listen now, and at the same time remember what I'm going to say next, and then convey it to Sonao-sama, so that he can understand that I'm not a fool." Qiu Yue stared at the eagle tail and said word by word: "Imuran wolf ambition, Mingtun army, assassination of the princess, Cangwu country Linjiang withdrawal troops, fall into the well, this battle has not yet started, the victory and defeat have been divided." If the country of Bihai dies, Liu Mingyan's Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion will also die in name only. Although she is a member of the royal family, she is a non-descendant of the lineage, and if it comes to righteousness, the bloodline of the children of Zhu Zhijie, the princess of Qingle in Cangwu Kingdom, is even better than her. Even if she wanted to set up another banner to fight for Imuran's independence, it would be unjustifiable. And with her territory, she is unable to compete with the Cangwu Kingdom behind Zhu Zhijie to compete for the position of the monarch of the blue sea. ”

Qiu Yue stood up, paced a few steps, and said: "Although Princess Qingyang is young, she is a descendant of the royal family, if we can rescue her with the power of Liu Mingyan, not only can we achieve Liu Mingyan's immortal reputation as the savior of the country, but also the princess will ascend the throne in the future, and the help of our Liuxia people will also be rewarded!" This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

"But...... But do adults really think that Liu Mingyan will go to save Her Royal Highness the princess? ”

"Don't worry, I'll say it. You know, the country will not be a country, can she still be too peaceful as the governor of southern Xinjiang? To save the princess is to save herself. ”

Washio's head bowed and thought for a while, then he asked, "Please forgive Eagle's tail for not saying anything, my lord...... In the hearts of my lords, is it really for the sake of the future of my Liuxia people that I tried my best to save Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Qiu Yue smiled softly: "Eagletail...... Some things have to be black and white. ”

Next.

The shopkeeper put the two fresh fish in the kitchen early, and then went to the door of the guest room and knocked on the door: "Guest officer, I have already left the fresh fish I just caught this morning in the kitchen." Go back and give your father-in-law a stew to drink, right? ”

For a long time, no one answered.

"Guest?" The shopkeeper was a little strange, looking at the sun was not early, how could there be no sound in the house.

He peeked through the crack in the door, and suddenly saw that the door of the room was not bolted. He hesitated for a while, for fear of being blamed by the woman, so he went to the kitchen to bring a basin of hot water, and then carefully pushed the door open.

I saw that the house was very neatly cleaned, and even the tea set on the table was placed in a proper manner. Next to the teapot was a silver ingot, which was worth ten days' worth of money.

The innkeeper thought about it and smiled knowingly.

I must have found a good place to go, so I eloped. Since I have received the money, please rest assured, when someone comes to ask at home, I will never tell you about your whereabouts!

The boss suddenly felt that the money had been received with a lot of peace of mind, but he didn't think about how he had ever known the names of those two people, where they came from, and where they went, even if someone asked.

On a chessboard, everyone is like a chess piece. As time passed, the chess pieces were still those chess pieces, but they were all in the wrong direction.

However, who can say where these pieces should have been.

Life is like chess, no one can predict their fate, and no one can know what kind of disaster will happen in the future.
