Behind him were still standing the people of the yamen, trembling to protect him, Han Ziji watched the carriage go away, turned around and walked downstream of the moat.

"Your Majesty?" Admiral Yamen said cautiously: "It's too late, if the emperor has anything else, he might as well hand it over to his subordinates." ”

Han Ziji shook his head and walked quietly by the river, there were still many lanterns floating in the river, some were still on, and some had been extinguished.

After walking for a while, his eyes lit up slightly, and he whispered, "Get a pole for me to hook a lantern." ”

The Admiral of the Yamen was very puzzled, but he still ordered someone to do it quickly.

Han Ziji followed the peach-colored lantern for a long time, and when the pole was brought, he hooked it.

It's not a particularly delicate font, and it reads in a bit of a panic: stone.

The Admiral of the Yamen looked at the words on the lantern, and then looked at the emperor's expression, and always felt that he didn't understand, what is this master doing? Seeing that the palace door should be locked, he was silent in front of the lanterns.

What's even more strange is that after looking at the lantern that he had worked so hard to hook, he put it back again.

"Let's go back to the palace." The emperor said.

After a trip out of the palace, Qianqiu felt very distracted, and went back to the Scene Palace to sleep, Han Ziji came back later than her, but she went to the Furong Palace.

When she heard Lily's message, Chiaki answered in a daze, and then continued to sleep as if nothing happened.

The next day, nothing happened quietly in the harem, and when Han Weiwan was having breakfast with her, he sighed and said, "I heard that there has been a rebellion of the Xianbei clan recently, and the imperial brother is estimated to be busy for a long time and cannot come to the harem." ”

Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then blinked: "The Xianbei clan is in turmoil? ”

"Hmm." Over the years of the Great Jin Dynasty, the number of ethnic minorities has increased, and all of them are slaves, and few people want to rebel and revolt. Wei Wan quietly drank a sip of porridge, and then said: "Speaking of which, the Han family was also snatched from the Sima family, and it really takes a lot of effort for the imperial brother to settle the world." ”

Qianqiu took a bite of the crunchy radish and muttered: "Men's great cause has always been troublesome and bloody. ”

Wei Wan glanced at her: "You are also the concubine of the imperial brother, can you not stay out of the matter like this?" ”

Qianqiu pouted: "I said that your imperial brother has nothing to do with me." ”

Han Weiwan shook his head, wanted to say something and closed his mouth again, and continued to eat quietly.

The emperor was too busy to enter the harem, and the palace was naturally the queen's world. Qianqiu didn't know how Han Ziji doted on Situ Xiuxiu that night, in short, Situ Xiuxiu was floating pink bubbles on the road all over the place.

"Concubine Jing." Situ Xiuxiu smiled kindly, took her hand and said cordially: "The emperor said that he is looking forward to giving birth to a prince in this palace as soon as possible, and this palace has been busy for so many days, and he can't help anything, why don't we go to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings?" ”

Qianqiu laughed dryly: "Queen Mother, the concubine is vulgar, she can't pray for blessings, but she can dance the gods, or let the concubine go to the Taiji Hall to dance for a while?" It may be more useful than a blessing. ”

The queen's face twitched, and then she coughed lightly and said, "Let's leave tomorrow, the palace has already told the queen mother." ”

Ya, no one listened to her opinion, she was packed well, stuffed into the queen's gorgeous carriage, and went to Huguo Temple with the queen.

According to the general book, when a beautiful girl goes to burn incense and worship the Buddha, she will inevitably meet a beautiful man, and a good marriage will be decided or something.

But she and Situ Xiuxiu are both married, so it is not a handsome son, but a vicious thief.

"Tie up the people in the car!" With an angry shout, Qianqiu heard the screams of the palace maids around her and the sound of the guards drawing their swords.

Situ Xiuxiu's face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed Qianqiu's hand and said tremblingly: "Mountain... Bandits! ”

Qianqiu really wants to tell her, Niangniang, the one you are holding is a bandit. But what she is more curious about now is, which mountain thief dares to stop the phoenix? This guard of honor has fully shown that it is a royal production, and whoever robs it will not die.

When a steel knife passed through the curtain of the car and was placed in front of them, Chiaki seemed to understand that this was definitely an organized and disciplined bandit.

A real thief only robs money, does not kill people if he does not say anything unnecessary, and has rules on the road, does not rob official tickets, so as not to cause trouble. And the group of people in front of him, stepping on the corpses of many palace people, did not move them at all, but directly asked people to come up and arrest her and Situ Xiuxiu.

Qianqiu frowned slightly, she was unarmed, so naturally it was not easy to resist with so many people, and she could only lean on Situ Xiuxiu, who was already crying, pretending to be weak.

The guards lost more than half of them, and they were captured, and the rest ran back to report the news.

The thieves did not stop them, and with a wave of their hands, a group of people quickly shoved them back into the carriage and ran out of the city as fast as they could.

"What to do? How so? Situ Xiuxiu's face was pale, and her face was crying like a cat.

She wanted to take the opportunity to come out to pray for blessings, so that people could create some accidents, so that Concubine Jing would completely disappear from the palace. But I didn't expect to reach my destination yet, but I met this guy thief halfway.

Obviously, this group of thieves wants people not to have money, but she is the queen mother today, and her status is expensive, and this group of people will obviously not let her go easily.

Thinking of the fate of falling into the hands of the bandits, Situ Xiuxiu couldn't help but cry.

Qianqiu leaned against the wall of the car and kindly comforted her: "Don't cry, the emperor will find a way to save you." ”

Situ Xiuxiu raised her head, glared at her angrily, and continued to cry.

Qianqiu was helpless, her hands were tied behind her back, and the group of people outside seemed to know that she knew that she could do martial arts, the rope was tied tightly, and she also used a lock dragon buckle.

Looking out of the car window, the thieves on horseback outside were all covered with their faces, their eyes did not squint, their bodies were straight, and the group of people did not communicate a word all the way, and she couldn't hear any news.

is not an ordinary bandit, so what is the purpose of robbing the queen? Qianqiu's heart sank, and he silently exerted force in his hands, pondering how to unbuckle it.

The palace soon received the news, the emperor was furious, and the emperor immediately dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to surround the mountain. The thieves robbed the queen of the dynasty, and that was no joke. If the ordinary queen is martyred, it is nothing, but this queen is the princess of Wu who is favored to death, and if something goes wrong, Wu Guo will definitely not give up.

The Great Jin Dynasty is in turmoil, and if it loses the ally of Wu again, it will be even more hostile.

The daring bandit sent a message that the emperor would go up the mountain himself, otherwise he would kill the queen. It is necessary to retreat all the elite soldiers down the mountain, otherwise the queen will be killed, and the emperor must go alone, otherwise the queen will be killed.

Han Ziji was so angry that he slapped the table, and almost shouted, you grandma still killed the queen!

But no, Situ Xiuxiu must not die.

So Han Ziji still walked to the mountainside alone.

"I say, brother of the way." Qianqiu was so hungry that she didn't have the strength, leaned against the corner of the wall and whispered: "Let's rob all about not abusing meat tickets, you see that we are both hungry like this, and the creditor is not happy to see it when he comes, why don't you give us a meal first?" ”

They were kept in a small room, during which they were fed a steamed bun. Situ Xiuxiu kept crying, and she didn't eat steamed buns, so Qianqiu ate two.

But if you only eat two steamed buns in a whole day, who are you going to starve to death! Qianqiu said that the quality of these bandits is too poor, and they are definitely not as good as Heifeng Village.

"Get her a meat bun." Someone commanded, so Chiaki ate a bun with tears in her eyes, pork and cabbage. By the way, retracting that sentence, the quality of this group of bandits is also quite good.

She used to like to eat such buns in Heifeng Village, hey, don't say it, the taste of this bun is exactly the same as that made by Aunt Li in the village.

After eating the buns, Qianqiu was silent, and someone outside whispered: "Master, the dog emperor has arrived." It's just that he has a lot of dark nails behind him, and we can't do it. ”

The face-covered handle snorted softly: "That kid is smart in the end, go, negotiate, take these two girls with you." ”

So Qianqiu and Situ Xiuxiu were carried to the open space outside the village, and from a distance, Han Ziji could be seen standing alone.

"I heard you're looking for me." Han Ziji glanced at Situ Xiuxiu, who was crying on the ground and her eyes were swollen, and said very calmly: "I'm here, just say anything, and then let my wife go." ”

"Hahaha." The handle laughed three times, and said with a heavy face: "The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is really bold, but since you are here, you must know that there is no reason to leave so easily." ”

"I know." Han Ziji nodded: "What do you want, just say directly, if the negotiation is good, the cooperation will be happy, and if the negotiation is not good, the 10,000 elite soldiers under the mountain are not good-looking." ”

Carrying the handle, he suffocated, and said in a deep voice: "What we want is very simple, and I didn't plan to keep my life after robbing this woman, and now I need to choose you, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Oh?" Han Ziji smiled: "What to choose?" ”

With a wave of his hand, Qianqiu and Situ Xiuxiu were thrown out.

Of course, don't get me wrong, it's not for him to choose one between Qianqiu and the queen, this one doesn't have to choose, the head carrying the handle didn't get into the water, what he wants to say is: "Your life, and the life of the princess of Wu Kingdom, choose one." ”

Han Ziji's eyes were as deep as water.

Qianqiu, as a gift for being robbed, didn't have any right to speak, so he quietly looked at Han Ziji's good-looking face with various expressions such as hesitation and hesitation.

"I am not the only emperor in the Han family, but there is only this one princess in the Wu country." Han Ziji finally spoke, looked at the handle, and said lightly: "I am willing to exchange my life for her, but I have some doubts and want to ask for clarification before I die." ”

Everyone obviously didn't expect him to choose to save Situ Xiuxiu so easily, even the queen herself was stupid, looking at Han Ziji blankly, crying even more embarrassed.

"You ask." He couldn't believe it, and frowned at the person on the horse.
