The next day, the sun was shining, and it was a good day for hunting.

Early in the morning, Jiang Xiaoyu finished dressing, took the snow, and went to the hunting place with Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian.

The wind was a little strong, and the flags were all hunting.

Although the old khan had white hair, he rode on horseback, still showing the perseverance of a nomad, pointed to the grassland and said: "This is the most fertile land in the Qinke grassland, there are cattle, sheep and small animals here, there are countless people, I am fortunate to be able to hunt with Your Majesty today, but I can teach the men of Da Zhou to compare with the men of our grassland, who is better in the end!" ”

Emperor Zhou was also wearing a military uniform, less unfathomable, more bold and free, against the backdrop of the vast grassland and sky, it looked extraordinarily heroic and extraordinary.

He laughed and said: "I know that you grassland people grew up on horseback, but the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also fought on horseback back back then, and they have never been abandoned in the past hundred years. Do you have faith, my warriors? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

A thunderous answer sounded behind him, and Emperor Zhou smiled with satisfaction, waving his hand to let the men behind him show off their posture.

The horses' hooves neighed, and everyone ran towards the hinterland of the grassland like eagles, a scene of excitement.

"Mother, do you want to try your skills?" The old khan looked at the young woman beside Emperor Zhou and smiled.

"I only learned to ride a horse yesterday, and I haven't learned archery yet!" Qing Yan smiled slightly, "But I'm not greedy, take your time, Your Majesty can go hunting with the Khan, I'll ride around on horseback, and I'll be satisfied!" ”

Emperor Zhou said with a smile: "I am old, now it is the world of their young people, if I go, I will make them restrain their hands and feet, and they will not be able to show their real skills, I will ride a horse with you and take a look!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu rode on the snow, compared to Zhao Ling's light cloud, she seemed a little nervous, in addition to Qi Siyuan's factor, she was also worried that the Queen Mother would take advantage of the chaos to do something to her, this move only needed to blame Qi Siyuan, but she couldn't tell Zhao Ling about this worry, after all, it was just her own worry, and the Queen Mother was Zhao Ling's beloved grandmother.

She glanced at the surrounding soldiers and asked, "I didn't see Qi Siyuan's figure!" ”

"He left last night, since the war is about to break out, he naturally won't stay as a live target, not to mention that he has other roles!" Zhao Ling said lightly.

Zhao Qian has always been not interested in these things, along the way he didn't care about Emperor Zhou's arrangement, and indulged in fun, he knew that the recent situation was not quite right, but now he knew that His Majesty had laid out such a big situation, and asked puzzledly: "Qi Siyuan can be regarded as only conclusive evidence now, just kill it, why bother so much!" ”

"Qi Siyuan is a bait, if you don't release this bait, how will the big fish take the bait?" Zhao Ling smiled lightly, "Qi Siyuan has made up his mind to break the net, but his determination is not in His Majesty's eyes!" ”

"And the big fish?" Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is the big fish?" ”

While the three of them were chatting, Sudiya rode over, looked at Zhao Ling and asked, "The fish has bitten the hook!" ”

Zhao Qian became more and more puzzled, frowned and asked, "What are you talking so mysteriously and secretly, at this time, can't you say it clearly?" Who the hell is this fish? ”

"Not one, but a group!" Sudia didn't hide anything, "My rebellious uncle is one of them!" ”

"Isn't he dead?" Zhao Qian asked, "What?" Deceived corpses? ”

Zhao Ling said: "When Udi rebelled, the old khan asked Da Zhou for help, and the general who led the troops used to be Qi Siyuan's person, although he helped the old khan to quell the rebellion, but he let Udi escape, and in order to seek merit, he forged a corpse. After Udi escaped, he quietly contacted the old ministry in the grassland, colluded with Qimu grassland and Qi Siyuan, and always wanted to cause trouble again. And this time, one of His Majesty's goals is to lure Udi out, eradicate those with dissenting intentions in one fell swoop, and completely solve this hidden danger! ”

"Not only that, if Qimu Grassland is also involved this time and wants to murder Emperor Zhou, then Da Zhou's dispatch of troops to Qimu this time can be regarded as justified!" Sudia said, "Your Majesty's step is very big, the layout has been laid out, and the rest of the things can only depend on the will of God!" ”

"So there are so many stories behind this! Could it be that the mole of the Chinko steppe that we saw next to the Mother River that day was the old part of Udi? Zhao Qian touched his chin and said, "Today's hunt is really hunting, but the prey is too fierce, it's not good to hurt my face, I'd better go back first!" ”

"Stop talking about it!" Zhao Ling said, "Your Majesty has basically arranged the matter here, and now the only variable is whether the eldest grandson family will choose to take risks, and I have to rush to the Qishan area in the south to watch." This kind of thing of going into battle to kill the enemy is not your turn to be a noble little prince, but you have to guarantee me the safety of Xiaoyu! ”

Speaking of business, Zhao Qian also put away his hippie smile and said solemnly: "Don't worry, your fiancée is also my sister-in-law, I will protect her as if she were Qiwen!" ”

"Xiaoyu, act at the opportunity, don't be reckless, and things that can't be solved, wait until I come back!" Zhao Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said uneasily.

"You too, take care, if you come back with less than a hair, I won't let you go!"

Zhao Ling glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu deeply, although he knew that this time His Majesty was well-planned, and Qi Siyuan was just a battle of trapped beasts, but the situation on this battlefield was changing rapidly, and there were still many worries in his heart, I really wanted to leave with her, but according to His Majesty's temperament, I was afraid that if I had to leave her behind, I would believe that I would do it wholeheartedly!

The two exchanged eyes, and the affection was comprehending, Zhao Ling drove the horse away, and Jiang Xiaoyu watched him leave, his eyes were reluctant.

"The two of you are just separated for a few days, so you don't need to be so parting with life and death!" Zhao Qian quipped, he glanced at Sudia, "Princess, what are your plans next?" ”

"The warriors have all gathered, and now that the net has been unfolded, the next step must be how to close the net!" Sudia's gaze was unprecedentedly resolute, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent, "For the sake of long-term peace in the grassland, it's time to give it a go!" Say goodbye to both of you, and hope we'll see each other alive! ”

Sudiya also drove away and rushed towards her army, which was already ready to go, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Qian glanced at each other, and seemed to have smelled a faint smell of blood.

"What about us, in or out?" Zhao Qian asked.

"Let's see the opportunity!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "Although I don't want to get too involved in the encirclement and suppression arranged by His Majesty this time, I still hope to be able to kill Qi Siyuan with my own hands!" ”

"Understood!" Zhao Qian snapped his fingers, didn't ask more, didn't persuade him, he looked at the vast grassland, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The east is the sphere of influence of the Qimu grassland, the south is Qishan is the territory of the Great Zhou, and the north is the mother river, a few of them are sneaky next to the mother river, and they are very likely to choose to ambush there, but now they should have gotten into the pocket set up by His Majesty, if they are not defeated by the encirclement and suppression of the Great Zhou and Qinke, they will naturally flee in the direction of the Qinke grassland, and we will ambush there!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, but there were still some doubts in his heart: "Will Qimu Grassland really participate?" ”

"Let's talk as we go, or we'll really go hunting with them!" Zhao Qian said, "What do you say about Qi Siyuan, I really feel a little sorry for him, except for the things that happened to the Bai family back then, it is not excluded that he was used, but in the past ten years, he has indeed been loyal to His Majesty, in some ways, he and Jiang Shuai are restraining the Changsun family together, and they don't want to end up like this, which is really embarrassing!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu paused slightly: "Do you think this will be a drama, in order to lure the eldest grandson family into the bait?" ”

Zhao Qian shook his head lightly: "I don't think it's very likely, after all, Udi and Qimu are really troublesome, and there is Chen Guo behind Qimu involved, if Your Majesty is really so much, it is tantamount to a big gamble, if the eldest grandson's family really moves, Chen Guo will definitely not sit idly by, and there are alien races in the north, then Your Majesty will inevitably be in a state of embattlement, this uncertain factor is too much!" ”

"Why does Your Majesty think that the second prince will definitely be able to control the capital and control the eldest grandson's family? Is it certain that the eldest grandson's family will not dare to change because of the queen mother, or is His Majesty's confidence in the second prince so strong? What's more, His Majesty also buried a chess game in the capital to ensure that there will be no chaos in the eldest grandson's family! Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Thinking about it, there is only that one person!" ”

"If I didn't guess wrong, we should be thinking of the same person, if he was His Majesty's person from the beginning, His Majesty's actions are really invulnerable!" Zhao Qian exclaimed.

Inside the palace of the Čenko steppe.

The Queen Mother accompanied the old princess to talk, and at this time, her subordinates came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, the princess, the hunt has begun!" ”

The Queen Mother gently waved her hand to make people retreat, and the old princess looked into the distance with worried eyes, and prayed: "God bless, everything goes well!" ”

"Just put your heart in your belly, and everything will be fine!" The Queen Mother comforted, "No one will be fine!" ”

At this time, another person came in and whispered a few words in the queen mother's ear, and the queen mother's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent, and said lightly: "Let's do something!" ”

"Yes!"
