It was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and it was the darkest time of the day.

Jiang Xiaoyu stood on the grassland, the night wind blew, her hair rose with the wind, she was silent and thought for a while, she came to Zhao Ling's side and asked, "What are your plans?" Are we going back or not going back! Whatever you decide, I agree! ”

"Go back!" Zhao Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Even if we can leave, what will happen to my father and Quan'er?" Your Majesty has gone mad now, and may not care about their lives! Then there is the second prince, His Majesty is uncertain, he is in the court, I can't rest assured, although we have already left the capital, but I still hope that after watching the second prince sit on the throne! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly and said, "I know, then go back!" In fact, if we go away and fly high, it is not only our father and the king who will be affected, but also Jiang Fu! Even though the future is bleak, as long as you are by my side, I still won't feel anything afraid! ”

Zhao Ling hugged Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms: "I'm sorry for you, I always thought I was strong enough to protect you, but in fact, I was as weak as an ant, I couldn't even protect myself, how to protect you!" I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, you are my wife, but you can't even protect your life, let alone anything else! When we got married, I swore in my heart that I would make you no longer in danger in the future, no longer wronged, and that you would be stable and happy for the rest of your life. ”

"It's not that you're too weak, it's that the opponent is too strong!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Like Your Majesty's scheming, such ruthlessness, such decisiveness, such cunning, such scheming, rare in the world, his opponents have disappeared one by one, no matter how powerful the character is, he is no longer an ordinary character, in Da Zhou, he is half a god!" Mortals who want to go against God will always experience some dangers! But even if it is God, we must have a way to defeat him, and he may not be the winner in the end! ”

"You're right, it's up to people to make things happen, let's do our best!"

"Nope! It is man who will conquer the sky! Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

After the group dealt with their injuries, they dragged their tired bodies back to the Qinko grassland, and they came back in such an embarrassment, which really surprised everyone. Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling naturally didn't say it when they were ambushed by Lando, they simply said that they encountered wolves and Chen Guo's assassins on the road, so they were seriously damaged, and as for today's peace talks, the two of them need to be corrected and can't come forward, but it's good to follow the previous strategy, and the conditions can be set higher appropriately.

The envoys went anxiously to negotiate with the Qimu Grassland, and Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling waited for their good news in the Qinke Grassland.

After all the members of the mission had left, Sudia entered the tent of the two and asked strangely, "What the hell is going on with you?" How could it be so coincidental that you happened to encounter wolves and assassins? As if the other party is waiting for you, you tell the truth, this matter seems to have something to do with the Chinko steppe! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded helplessly.

"Dogs can't change their!" Sudia scolded, "Your Majesty should have directly destroyed the Qimu Grassland, and it wouldn't have caused these troubles!" ”

She paused, frowned and asked: "But there is one thing that I can't understand, I originally thought that Qimu Grassland was just trying to get some benefits in the back, and I didn't have the courage to really make trouble, I didn't expect them to dare to attack you, aren't you afraid that Da Zhou will be angry and really destroy them?" Without Chen Guo as a backer, what do they use to be the enemy of the Great Zhou? ”

"Don't ask about it!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "There are some things, the less you know, the better!" The Qinko steppes need to recuperate now, you can protect them and let them grow well! ”

"Is there something I don't know conveniently?" Sudia was a little puzzled, but she didn't take it too seriously, "Since it's inconvenient for me to know, I won't ask!" But you are my savior, the benefactor of our Qinko steppe, no one can hurt you on the grassland, and I will not allow anyone to hurt you! When the matter is over, I will send someone to escort you back to Da Zhou!" ”

"Thank you, Sudia!"

Since they knew that the Qimu Grassland had already surrendered to the Great Zhou, and the two of them coming over was just a trap, then they didn't have to worry about this so-called peace negotiation at all, because all the conditions had been discussed in advance, and now it was just a formality.

Sure enough, this talk went very smoothly, according to the original plan of the mission, the two sides still need to negotiate for at least a few days, but I didn't expect the other party to be very happy, not only agreed to their conditions, but also made concessions, completely surrendered to the Great Zhou, since Qimu is this attitude, do they also need to go from the capital to this trip?

Although there are many doubts in my heart, the task assigned by His Majesty has been successfully completed, and there will inevitably be a lot of rewards after I go back, and everyone's heart is still happy.

When they returned in the evening, Sodia, as the host, prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate them, and the task was completed, the pressure in their hearts was reduced, and everyone was happy, singing and dancing.

It's just that Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling's mood is very heavy, and they can't blend into this cheerful atmosphere no matter what, the end of the mission means that they have to go back soon, but after returning to Da Zhou, what is waiting for them?

Zhao Ling had never been so confused, he had never been so unconfident, and in the face of such an unfathomable opponent as His Majesty, he felt that there was no way at all.

Jiang Xiaoyu gently took Zhao Ling's hand, looked at the people dancing around the bonfire, and said softly, "Let's take a walk!" ”

"Good!"

"Do you think Your Majesty will give the crown prince to the second prince?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, "He knows the relationship between us and the second prince, so he is not afraid of having a dislike with the second prince?" What's more, you have grown up together since childhood, you are like brothers and sisters, with your support, Your Majesty should also be relieved, to be honest, I really can't find a reason for Your Majesty to do something to you! ”

"It's because we are too good with the second brother in Guangxi that Your Majesty wants to get rid of me!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "Maybe it's because he's afraid of another eldest grandson!" If His Majesty really has this purpose, then the position of the crown prince belongs to the second child! ”

"Let's hope so, otherwise I don't know what the point of our previous efforts was!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed and said.

"Zhao Qu is His Majesty's person, do you know about this?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Zhao Ling was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Zhao Qu has a very close relationship with the Qimu Grassland, I'm afraid that His Majesty has already controlled the Qimu Grassland!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed slightly, "Actually, I ran into Xiahou Sheng in front of my uncle's tomb last time, and he asked me to be careful of Zhao Qu at that time, but at that time, I didn't figure out the meaning of what he reminded me, and I knew that it was deduced later!" Zhao Qu was used by His Majesty to contain the King of Jin, but I am afraid that the King of Jin is also cold, no wonder such a person who was greedy for the prosperity of the capital before is now shouting to travel the rivers and lakes! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu paused and continued: "Your Majesty's brainwashing ability is really powerful, whether it is the eldest grandson Chi or Zhao Qu, they are willing to give up everything to follow him!" After going back, Zhao Qu continued to stay in the Chu Palace, for us, it is just that His Majesty's eyes are by our side, and when the time comes, we have to think of a way to drive him out! ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ling lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"Actually, there's one thing I haven't told you!" Zhao Ling was silent for a moment and said.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiu raised her eyebrows in interest and found a place to sit down, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me!" ”

Zhao Ling walked to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and sat down, paused and said, "Actually, I have long known that Zhao Qu is His Majesty's person, and the last time Ziyang'er was kidnapped by the eldest grandson, it was related to him!" ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Xiaoyu's face sank suddenly, and he asked with a cold face.

"No matter what, Zhao Qu is His Majesty's person after all, at that time, your uncle had just died, and you were sad and indignant in your heart, I was afraid that you would seek revenge on him on the spur of the moment, and Your Majesty and the Queen Mother would not let you go at that time!" Zhao Ling said.

"And one more reason!" Jiang Xiaoyu sneered and said, "No matter what, Zhao Qu is your younger brother, you protect him in your heart, you don't want me to kill him, do you?" ”

"No matter what the purpose is, it is not a wise thing for you to seek revenge on him at that time, and I am also afraid that you are too impulsive!" Zhao Ling said.

"Why are you telling me now?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked coldly.

"You'll find out sooner or later!" Zhao Ling sighed and said, "Zhao Qu is my younger brother, and I don't want to defend him, but he is indeed acting according to orders, just like Lando, he can't help himself!" ”

"Do you still want to say, if I can forgive Lando, should I forgive him?" Jiang Xiaoyu sneered, "This is different! My uncle is dead, dead! How you die, I won't forgive Lando either! ”

"I didn't say that!"

"But that's what you think!" Jiang Xiaoyu stood up and said, "No matter what, no matter what you think, I will definitely avenge my uncle's revenge!" ”

"Little fish!" Zhao Ling pulled Jiang Xiaoyu back, "Don't act impulsively, okay!" ”

"Impulsive?" Jiang Xiaoyu said with red eyes, "Then how about my impulsiveness?" ”
