After Zhou Qi and Huanting entered Beijing together, they went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Gaomen compound here, but for Zhou Qi, it was easy to get in, because he knew all the patrols here and all the geographical locations. Prime Minister Xu Cheng came back from the palace and planned to go to the study to rest for a while, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Qi leaning on a chair, with one foot still cocked, as if he was very comfortable.

Although Prime Minister Xu Cheng was surprised, he still said leisurely: "Look at you, there is no sitting statue, so that your father and emperor have seen it, and I don't know how to punish you." ”

"Grandpa, do you know I'm coming back?"

Prime Minister Xu Cheng sat on another chair, "The person I sent to protect you has not been heard from for more than a month, I thought that you might send someone back, but I didn't expect you to come back yourself." Say, what's wrong? ”

"He's dead." Zhou Qi put his feet down as he spoke, and sat upright.

Prime Minister Xu Cheng paused for a moment, "Who did it?" ”

"Does Grandpa know a person named Liu Boquan?"

"Why did you mention him all of a sudden?"

"Did he really rebel?"

"This was all thirty years ago, Liu Boquan supported the army and respected himself, did not obey the edict, and was convicted of rebellion and beheaded."

"He has a son named Liu Sijin, who fell into the grass in Huizhou, and later his village was wiped out by me, and he came to Huizhou City to find me for revenge, but I don't know why he actually knows my true identity, and my grandfather has clues?"

Xu Chengxiang was taken aback, "Know your true identity?" Where is this man now? ”

"I arrested him and handed him over to Li Bo for trial."

"Can he tell who's behind it?"

"No, I don't think Li Bo may be able to ask."

"Will he be the man of the Three Princes?"

"Probably not, I think if it were the third brother's people, I wouldn't send only one person, I only encountered his attack along the way, so I don't think it should be the third brother's people."

"Hahahaha."

"Grandpa?"

"Fifth prince, as soon as I said that it was the third prince who embarrassed you, you were impatient and unwilling to listen, but now I understand that the third prince is not a good person, good, you didn't go to Huizhou in vain."

Zhou Qi didn't know what to say for a while, so he pursed his lips and didn't speak.

"The fifth prince, the third prince comes in and moves frequently in the court, and it is a good thing that you can see his wolf ambitions."

"Grandpa, is my father so conniving at the third brother?"

"Ascend and fall, if he can wake up, he can also help you create a prosperous era of the Great Zhou, if not, your father will not allow him, you don't have to worry too much."

"Haha, grandfather, you used to tell me to be careful of the third prince, but now that he is in full swing, you don't have to worry about it."

Prime Minister Xu looked at Zhou Qi and smiled mysteriously, "Actually, it's nothing to tell you." ”

"What's wrong?"

"You will return to Beijing in two months, and the affairs of Huizhou must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"After two months? What does my grandfather mean by this? At the beginning, I agreed with my father for a one-year period. ”

Prime Minister Xu thought for a while, "Grandpa thinks you're an adult, so it's okay to think about telling you." Five princes, do you know that there is a vast land north of Xiliang, called Huifu.

”

"I've heard of it, I heard that the land of Hui is almost the same as my Great Zhou, and the people are fierce, why did my grandfather suddenly talk about it."

"A year ago, Hui sent an envoy to express his willingness to marry the princess to come to our dynasty and marry the Qin and Jin dynasties with our dynasty. I have already written to the emperor that you will marry Princess Hui, and when the time comes, you will have the backing of our Xu family and Huifu, and you will be able to successfully enter the East Palace. ”

Zhou Qi almost wanted to roll his eyes, "Grandpa, can't my father have something new?" Is he marrying a daughter here and a daughter-in-law there? ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Grandpa, we only married the princess in order not to fight with Xiliang, and they don't border our dynasty when they return to the court, why are they willing to marry the princess?"

Prime Minister Xu stared at Zhou Qi and said firmly: "Fight Xiliang together." ”

"Fight against Xiliang together? Then, is it okay for that Huanting not to get married? ”

Prime Minister Xu Cheng shook his head, "The emperor means that on the wedding day of the sixth princess, he will take advantage of the celebration of Xiliang and join forces with Hui to destroy Xiliang." ”

Zhou Qiteng stood up, "Then have you considered Huanting's situation?" ”

Prime Minister Xu also stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and said solemnly: "Five princes, for the sake of the Great Zhou, no one can be left alone. ”

"No one is left alone? Grandpa, how many good men are there in Da Zhou, but you asked a woman to visit the wolf's den! She is your own grandson, my father's own daughter. After speaking, Zhou Qi turned around and left, and Prime Minister Xu Cheng blocked the way, "It's too late to say anything now, the team has been mobilized, and the soldiers and soldiers have prepared food and grass." If it weren't for the princess's marriage, such a large-scale transfer would not be able to hide people's eyes, the sixth princess, Da Zhou would always remember her exploits. ”

"Grandpa!"

"Five princes! You should also know in Huizhou, governing a state is restricted everywhere, and it is even more difficult to govern a country, Xiliang has been strong recently, if you don't start early, it will become a disaster in the future, sacrificing one person to save tens of millions of people, it's worth it! ”

Zhou Qiyi pushed Xu Chengxiang away, "I can't ask Huanting to die!" Zhou Qi hurriedly came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went all the way to the palace gate, when he suddenly bumped into a person on the road.

"Get out of here!" Zhou Qi didn't look at who it was, and pushed the person away.

"Hey, I said...... Hey, Lord Zhou? I've found you. ”

"Wu Yi?"

Wu Yi grabbed Zhou Qi's arm, "Lord Zhou, what a coincidence, you see God is helping me." ”

Zhou Qi didn't have time to talk to Wu Yi, "Give me a hand, I have something urgent." ”

Wu Yi not only didn't let go, but also stuck his body up, "That's not good, you have to take me back to Huizhou." ”

Zhou Qi wanted to withdraw, Wu Yi was like a dog skin plaster and didn't let go, Zhou Qi was helpless, "Cheng Chengcheng, you hurry up, you help me do something first, it's done, not only take you back to Huizhou, but also give you ten taels of silver as a reward." ”

"Don't go back."

"If you don't hurry up, I'll find someone else."

In this way, Wu Yi hurriedly let go of Zhou Qi and hurried to catch up with Wan Ting. Wan Ting heard Zhou Qi say that she was the one who was going to die, and she was not in a hurry, anyway, the moment she planned to return to Beijing, she was already dead. Wan Ting looked at Zhou Qi for a long time

"Anything else?" ”

"You hurry up and follow me, when you arrive in Huizhou, I will protect you."

"Brother." Wan Ting still tried to squeeze out a smile, "The world is so big, there is no place for me." Forget it, I'm tired. With that, Wan Ting turned around to leave.

Wu Yi stretched out her arms to stop Wan Ting, "Miss Zhou, the world is so big, there is always a place to live, and Lord Zhou said that he will be able to protect you." ”

Wan Ting sneered, "Wu Yi, I also believed that someone could protect me like you, but I always have to go by myself in life." Wan Ting wanted to cry very much, but she tried to restrain herself and smiled, "Wu Yi, how good it would be if you could be as stupid as you for the rest of your life." ”

Wu Yi was stunned, she had never seen such a Huanting, Zhou Qi couldn't listen to it anymore, and slapped Huanting on the neck, Huanting fainted, Wu Yi was startled, and when she turned around, she saw the official looking over here.

"Look at what! Come and give a hand. ”

"Lord Zhou, why are you still kidnapping others?"

"Shut up! Come and help. ”

Wu Yi didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly helped Zhou Qi put Huanting on Zhou Qi's shoulder, Shuntianfu Yin saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly brought someone over, "Stop!" ”

Zhou Qi carried Wan Ting and ran quickly, Wu Yi was most afraid of the officers and soldiers, so he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and fled, "I said Lord Zhou, why did you kidnap your sister in front of the government?" ”

"Hurry up and figure it out, and I'll explain it to you later."

Wu Yi had any way, she was going to be scared to death, "What else can you do, run away!" ”

The two were running forward, and a group of people suddenly flashed in front of them, looking like ordinary people, but everyone was strong and strong, "Put people down!" ”

"Oh my mother, how many people have you offended, Lord Zhou!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Qi looked at the two teams of people, he understood that this was sent by Prime Minister Xu Cheng, Zhou Qi saw that the two teams were getting closer and closer, and pushed Wu Yi to the people of Shuntian Mansion, "I'll give you money later!" After shouting, he turned around and ran, Prime Minister Xu's people only robbed people, and they would never hurt Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi ran wildly all the way, ran to the edge of the royal river and did not dare to delay for a moment, and put Huanting on the boat, but the family members also pulled the boat.

"Childe, we don't want to embarrass you, put down the sixth princess!"

Zhou Qike didn't have time to distinguish with them, a boat oar hit the family, and the other kicked on the other, and the two sides fought. Zhou Qi was obviously defeated, and just as he was thinking about countermeasures, the secret guard finally rushed out, "Adults, go quickly!" Zhou Qi didn't care about anything else, he ran away from the boat, he saw the family members rushing up, and comforted him Sure enough, Prime Minister Xu's family fell into the water one after another.

Zhou Qi snatched out Huanting, didn't dare to stay in the capital, and carried Huanting all the way into Qianji.

"This guest officer?"

Zhou Qi put Wan Ting on the chair, "This official is the prefect of Huizhou, and now he wants to bring important people back to Huizhou for trial, but this official was attacked by his accomplices and had to hide in Qianji, which is the official's seal." ”

The shopkeeper took the small seal and buckled it on the white paper, and sure enough, it was written "The seal of Zhou Qi, the prefect of Huizhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty", "Oh, Lord Zhou, I heard that Lord Zhou turned the tide and protected my money, Lord Zhou was in trouble, and the money was remembered."

Ran helped. ”

"The shopkeeper has a place to hide."

"Lord Zhou, Qian Ji has a batch of goods to return to Huizhou soon, if you don't dislike it, you can go back with the caravan."

"Okay, when are you leaving?"

"Originally, it would be early tomorrow morning, but the goods have been loaded, I am afraid that something will change, my lord, you can go out of the city now."

"I still have one person, I don't know if I can get out of danger, and I don't know if she understands what I say. If she doesn't arrive when we leave, please give her these ten taels of silver, and let her go back to Huizhou. ”

The shopkeeper took the silver ticket, "Your Excellency tells you to do it, and dare to ask the guest what his surname is, so don't give the wrong one." ”

"Wu Yi, her name is Wu Yi, and she is a woman."

In this way, Zhou Qi and Wan Ting hid in the cargo box and followed the Qian Ji caravan out of the city.

"Brother?" The road was bumpy, and Wan Ting finally woke up.

"Wan Ting, how do you feel?"

"Brother, why do I sneak every time I go out of Kyoto, it seems that my Zhou Huanting's life should be like this."

"Don't talk nonsense, when you arrive in Huizhou, I will write to my father again, I don't think you will marry to Xiliang."

"Brother, we were born to be arranged, do you think he can listen to you if you are your sister-in-law?" Wan Ting sneered twice, "Brother, he will only think that you have disobeyed him, and you will not be better at that time." ”

"Even if you die, I can't watch you marry Xiliang."

Wan Ting's heart was sour when she heard this, and hot tears came out again, and she endured it and didn't speak.

In the small cargo box, the future of the two siblings is uncertain.
