It had been dozens of days since Qin Luo went to Southern Chu, and Tuoba Yan sat alone on the high hillside, looking south, silent. Tuoba Ling saw that his younger brother would come here every day to sit down, and although he didn't say anything, he knew that his younger brother was waiting for someone to come back.

In this regard, Tuoba Ling was powerless to persuade, he sighed, he and his younger brother just thought, he didn't want that person to come back at all.

Not only Tuoba Yan, but Jimmy and Alem are also speculating whether Qin Luo will come back. Jimmy counted the days with his fingers crossed, and asked Alem sullenly: "Qin Luo has been gone for so long, will he come back?" ”

Alem was simple-minded, and he said as a matter of course: "Qin Luo said that he would come back, what are you worried about?" ”

"However, Nanchu is his hometown."

"Who said you have to go back to your hometown?" Alem whispered, "Look at Yelekedun, don't you also stay in Qingyun. ”

Jimmy's heart said that it makes sense, she has been with Yeletian for so long, and Tuoba Yan has never given Yeletian a good face. I really don't understand why Ye Letian has to stay.

At the same time, Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng, under the arrangement of Mrs. Xu, became eunuchs and secretly entered the palace.

For the safety of the little emperor, he couldn't leave the palace, so he could only grieve Qin Luo, pretend to be a eunuch, and enter the palace to face the saint. When he first entered the palace, the guards guarding the door glanced at Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng, who were following the frame, and looked puzzled, "These two ......"

This is the palace gate where court officials enter and exit, and there may be people who know Qin Luo. Thinking of this, Liu Changfeng's body tensed up instantly, and he habitually wanted to grab the sword beside him, but found that the sword had already been unloaded.

Qin Luo was more indifferent, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he bowed his head deeply, respectfully took out the token prepared by Taifu in advance, and handed it to the guards with both hands.

When the guards saw that it was the token of the inner palace, they relaxed their vigilance. At this time, another big eunuch came over, smiled and said to the frame of Old Lady Xu: "Mrs. Xu, the saint has been waiting for a long time, please enter the palace quickly." ”

Mrs. Xu lifted the curtain and said lightly: "Okay." ”

"Hurry up." The big eunuch said, and then looked at the fake eunuch beside him with a little meaning.

Mrs. Xu had the emperor's permission to take a car into the interior, and it was not until she passed through the Pingyang Gate that she got out of the carriage with the support of Liu Changfeng.

This is the Pingyang Hall of the Great Imperial Meeting. Qin Luo remembered that back then, he was a young Tanhualang, who had walked through the palace gate in a dignified manner and accepted the emperor's official title; Like other colleagues, he also stood in the palace above board and made a policy for governing the country to the emperor.

It's a pity that now, he can only hide himself as much as possible, pretending to be a eunuch to sneak in, and he can't see the light.

Along the way, Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng followed the old lady Xu, passed through the palace, and came to the emperor's imperial study.

At this time, the little emperor had already received the instructions of Mrs. Xu, and had already sent irrelevant people far away, just waiting to reunite with Qin Luo. Since the little emperor returned to China, he has been thinking about Qin Luo and thanking him for saving his life. I thought it would be difficult to see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect God to bless them, and they met again in the Nanchu Palace.

"Holy Lord, Mrs. Xu asks to see you." The indistinguishable voice of the chief eunuch remembered outside the door.

It's coming, it's finally here! Zhao Ruize calmed his excited heart and said calmly: "Biography-"

Outside the door, Mrs. Xu and the chief eunuch glanced at each other, and the chief eunuch said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Taifu, everything has been arranged." ”

"There is Father-in-law." Mrs. Xu arched her hand. After that, he took Liu Changfeng and Qin Luo and stepped into the imperial study.

See you again after many years. Zhao Ruize stood up excitedly, and his eyes locked on the eunuch beside Taifu who bowed his head. Even if he hadn't seen him for many years, he could recognize Qin Luo's figure at first sight.

Mrs. Xu led the two of them to kneel, "The old minister knocks on the emperor." ”

"Taifu doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Ruize hurriedly ran down and pulled up Taifu with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is Qin Luo."

Qin Luo kowtowed: "Minister...... Meet the Holy One. ”

Zhao Ruize looked at the figure in front of him with low eyebrows and knees, and tears almost fell. He picked up Qin Luo and looked at the person in front of him. After so many years of exposure to the wind and sun, I have become thinner and darker than when I first saw it.

"Qin Aiqing......" Zhao Ruize choked up, "You're back." ”

"Holy!" Qin Luo looked at the stubborn and weak child in his memory with relief, and now he has grown into a handsome young man. Time flies, and Zhao Ruize is no longer the captured six princes, but the emperor of Great Chu.

However, the matter is important, and it is not yet time to reminisce about the old lyricism, and Mrs. Xu interjected incomprehensibly: "Mr. Qin, the old man has already told the saint everything. The Holy Lord has also agreed, and the alliance with the Qingyun Ministry. ”

"Your Majesty, ...... you" Qin Luo sighed with some emotion, he also knew what his reputation was in the Chu State. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruize, as a king, actually trusted himself completely without a trace of doubt.

Zhao Ruize smiled: "Qin Aiqing, you are my life-saving benefactor, who do you believe if I don't believe me?" ”

Regarding Zhao Ruize's credulous character, Qin Luo was half happy and half worried. Happy, because things can be solved smoothly, there is no need to explain more; The worry is that with Zhao Ruize's character, how to deal with those sinister gangsters in the DPRK?

Moreover, according to his observations and speculations over the years, as well as the information collected by Blacksmith Sun and General Feng, there must be people in the DPRK who collaborated with the enemy and should cooperate with Xiang Qiang in wartime.

Thinking of this, Qin Luo secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the little emperor, Zhao Ruize instantly understood, and said to Old Lady Xu and Liu Changfeng: "I haven't seen Qin Aiqing for a long time, and I want to talk alone." ”

Seeing that the business was over, Mrs. Xu said empathetically: "The minister retired." ”

"The subordinates retired." Liu Changfeng glanced at Qin Luo and left with Taifu.

Seeing that they had left, the little emperor pulled up Qin Luo and said worriedly: "Qin Aiqing, you have suffered in Xiangqiang. ”

"I'm okay, I can see the emperor grow up, and the minister is ecstatic."

"It's me who didn't save you in time. After I ascended the throne, I sent someone to Xiang Qiang to rescue me, and only brought back the wet nurse and the big companion, I heard that you are closely guarded, and our people can't get close. Zhao Ruize lowered his head guiltily, and in front of Qin Luo, he was no longer called "me".

Qin Luo remembered that at that time, Tuoba Yan learned that he had been deceived, and imprisoned him in a cell and tortured him every day. Looking back on that tragic time, it was like a lifetime away. Tuoba Yan has slowly changed from hatred to total trust in him.

"It's not your fault, it's a personal vendetta between me and Tuoba. To this day, I can't thank you enough for the trust you have placed in me. ”

Zhao Ruize said: "I have already found out the cause and effect, you are in order to save me, you pretended to surrender to Xiang Qiang, and offended Tuoba Yan." It's a pity that many people, seeing that you have become Xiang Qiang's guest, think that you have rebelled. I really want to rehabilitate you, but I know that the more the people of Chu hate you, the safer you will be in Xiangqiang. ”

What a sensible child. Qin Luo nodded and said, "The Holy One doesn't have to feel sad for me, I don't need to be rehabilitated, and I don't need other people's understanding." I only hope that the Holy Lord can govern Da Chu well, so that the efforts of thousands of lurking Xiang Qiang and the front-line soldiers are not in vain. ”

"I will." Zhao Ruize said firmly, "I will be a Mingjun." ”

"There is one more thing that needs to be guarded against by the Holy Lord." Qin Luo said, "We found in Xiangqiang that there were people in the DPRK who collaborated with the enemy. ”

Zhao Ruize was taken aback, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

"This person has not been identified. However, it is speculated that this person should be in a high position of authority and have access to military secrets. Qin Luo said, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, even if it is for Mrs. Xu, you must be vigilant." ”

"I understand." Zhao Ruize nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention." ”

"Holy ......" Qin Luo knew that the time of parting was coming again, he took a step back, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed deeply, "Farewell to the Holy Lord, may God bless Great Chu, and the country will be long." ”
