"I think we can slow down for a few days, and if my father is not able to arrive at the city of Gyeongju about 800 miles, then I will camp on the spot and wait. I don't think it's appropriate to be too close to Gyeongju, in case the other party hears the news and goes out of the city to greet us, it is very difficult for us to enter or not, it is better to stay away, what do you think?"

Yi Jiuxiao listened to Qi Qingru's words very carefully, not to mention, her analysis was indeed very reasonable.

The distance of eight hundred miles is also appropriate, not far and not close, this location is close to the capital, the danger must be very small, and it is not very close to the capital, so as to avoid being embarrassed after arriving at the Wei court.

So he said, "What the county lord said is very true, and I have no objection. ”

The march lasted slowly for eight days, no more than fifty or sixty miles a day, with a stop at a market town to resupply.

But before waiting for the king of Anyuan, he had already arrived at a position eight hundred miles away from Gyeongju City, which was called Gyeongdong County.

At this time, it was the beginning of November, Yi Jiuxiao was quite anxious, he was not sure when King An Yuan would come, this healing thing was really uncertain, maybe it would be possible to recover in three or five months, maybe it would be possible in a year or two.

In fact, Yi Jiuxiao didn't know that King Anyuan's injury was really not good, and when his mana was exhausted, he forcibly used forbidden magic to improve his cultivation, hurting the foundation and origin.

If he had been recuperating in time at that time, he might have recovered in half a year, but as the team turned around for many days, the injuries continued to worsen during this period.

Fortunately, Shazhou Taishou Chengfu found out and left him to heal, otherwise his life would be in danger.

King An Yuan has been recuperating in Shazhou until now, and his injuries have been stabilized, and it will take at least half a year to recover.

Twenty days have passed, and the team is still stationed in Qingdong County.

While waiting anxiously, Yi Jiuxiao used cultivation to play time. Moreover, he mainly cultivates alone, and occasionally learns from Qi Qingru and Qi Qingyun.

After all, the cultivation method of cultivation is different from that of martial arts, cultivation is really quiet, meditation is used to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and comprehend the way of heaven, martial arts is movement, and fighting with fists is used to refine the body and strengthen the pulse.

At noon on this day, Yi Jiuxiao was practicing Kaitian Fist on a hillside not far from the post road, when he suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing on the post road, and a large group of people and horses passed by the post road, estimated to be as many as 10,000 people.

He immediately stopped cultivating, observed this army, and found that this army was heading in the direction of the capital of Wei.

Maybe it's the army's defense, Yi Jiuxiao thought about it for a while, in his previous life when he was in the Great Song Dynasty, there were often troops who went out to return to Beijing to change their defenses.

As long as there is no unfavorable action against oneself, you don't have to worry about him, so you continue to cultivate.

However, within two hours, another army passed by the post road, and the same smoke and dust were billowing and the horses' hooves were urgent.

Looking at the situation, there is no leisurely return to the court at all, but a rapid march, and the direction is still the capital Gyeongju City.

Maybe something happened, thinking of this, Yi Jiuxiao immediately stopped cultivating and returned to the camp.

He asked Qi Bin to convene the meeting, and after a while, everyone arrived, and the princess, Qi Qingru, Qi Bin, Zheng Yuanhu, and Yi Jiuxiao sat in the tent.

The four of them felt a little inexplicable, and they all looked at Yi Jiuxiao, not knowing what he had suddenly convened to discuss.

After the four of them sat down, Yi Jiuxiao stood up and said, "Have you noticed that two armies passed over the post road today?"

Qi Bin and Zheng Yuanhu both nodded and said "yes", Qi Qingru and Qi Qingyun both chose to shake their heads.

Both of them were meditating and cultivating in the phoenix, and they didn't care about the outside affairs at all, so they wouldn't notice any movement on the post road.

Although Qi Qingru, as a Jindan powerhouse, has enough divine thoughts to cover the post road, he has not always released his divine thoughts.

Yi Jiuxiao continued: "I was cultivating outside at the time, due to the high terrain, the situation on the post road can be seen clearly, and I found that these two teams are marching urgently, and the direction is to the capital of Wei, I estimate that something big will happen in Wei. ”

There were two armies passing through the post road, and Qi Bin and Zheng Yuanhu knew about it, because the sentry posts outside the camp had been reported.

However, they did not know much about the specific situation of the march, and in order not to attract attention, the location of the camp was chosen to be in the valley four miles away from the post road, and the camp could not be seen from the post road, and the post road could not be seen in the camp either.

"Your Excellency, the sentry outside the camp has informed us of the passage of the two armies, and we do not know much about the others, nor do we pay attention to this matter. ”

Qi Bin replied truthfully, as a soldier, he felt the seriousness of what Yi Jiuxiao said.

"This matter is very unusual, I have a hunch that something big will happen in the Wei Kingdom, so I invite the princess and you to come here to take precautions in advance, and whether the commander of Qi can arrange manpower to go to the capital of Wei to investigate, so as to grasp the situation in time." ”

After the discussion, Qi Bin arranged for six people to disguise themselves as Wei people, set off overnight, and went out to spy in three ways.

Two of them went deep into Gyeongju City, the capital of Wei, to investigate the movements of the Wei court, and the other was active on the periphery of the capital to investigate the movements of the two armies today.

Among the guards of the forbidden army, there were already personnel in charge of reconnaissance and spying, and when he first set up camp here, Qi Bin also sent a horse to investigate, but it was limited to two hundred miles in front of the road, and did not go deep into the capital.

On the second day, when Yi Jiuxiao was cultivating, he saw a team of people hurrying to the capital, and there were 5,000 people.

This strengthened his judgment yesterday that there was no large-scale war in the territory of Wei, and it was very unusual to move troops so frequently.

But he also hoped that nothing would happen, and that it would be really troublesome if there was turmoil in a foreign country.

Seven days later, two spies came back day and night, two of the four who had been in the capital.

They brought back the earth-shattering news that the Emperor of Wei had died!

This news is too shocking, how could the emperor die, Wei Emperor Wei Wennai is a Jindan monk, and the outside world speculates that it is the late Jindan period.

Monk Jin Dan can live for more than 500 years in normal life, while Wei Wen is only in his eighties, and he is still a young man in the life of a monk, how can he die, unless he is killed.

These two people rushed back to report first, leaving the other two to continue their exploration in the capital.

They also brought another news, that is, the princes are competing for the throne, and in the end, the throne may not necessarily fall into the hands of the crown prince.

Of course, this news is just a rumor, not necessarily true, and it needs to be further confirmed.

But Yi Jiuxiao felt that this news might be true, and the three armies a few days ago should have been fighting for the throne.

After the two spies reported, they left the camp again, Yi Jiuxiao and a few others appeared in the tent of the discussion, Qi Bin repeated the situation that the spies had mastered, and everyone was solemn and silent after hearing it.

There was silence for half a quarter of an hour, but no one spoke, but Qi Qingru couldn't bear it anymore and said to Yi Jiuxiao: "Lord Deputy Envoy, what do you say we should do?"

On formal occasions, when there are still many people, Qi Qingru usually calls Yi Jiuxiao's official position to show respect.

In private, she either called her by her first name, or even omitted her name.

Qi Qingru's question interrupted Yi Jiuxiao's contemplation, this kind of thing Yi Jiuxiao had never encountered, and he really had no idea for a while, so he could only keep thinking about various ways to weigh the pros and cons.

"It's hard to do, I'm thinking, you guys should also think about what to do!"

After Yi Jiuxiao finished speaking, he was depressed in his heart, it would be good if King Anyuan was there, he didn't need to use his brain at all, he just needed to follow and execute, but now it was himself who made the decision.

At this time, Qi Bin spoke: "Lord Deputy Envoy, I think it is still a quiet brake at present, on the one hand, waiting for the arrival of the prince, on the other hand, waiting for the changes, and only after the situation changes, can we decide on the countermeasures." ”

Usually when deliberating, Qi Bin rarely speaks, mostly obedience and execution, but today he took the initiative to say his idea.

And these words are indeed very reasonable, basically the same as what Yi Jiuxiao thinks in his heart, at present, he can only respond to all changes with the same, continue to be stationed here, and wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision, after all, they can't interfere in the internal affairs of Wei.

Everyone nodded, expressing their approval of what Qi Bin said, and their opinions were basically the same, and Yi Jiuxiao didn't say anything more, so he announced that he would disperse.

Several people went out of the camp together, preparing to return to their respective positions, and suddenly Yi Jiuxiao received a transmission in his ears, which was sent by the princess Qi Qingyun, asking him to return to the camp tent and discuss something with him.

Then he turned and went back to the tent, and was stunned to find the princess alone.

In recent months, he has met with the princess a lot, and often practiced together, but Qi Qingru was present and never got along alone.

Today, the princess let him stay alone, not even Qi Qingru was there, I don't know what it was for.

"Take me away!" Before the sentence was finished, two lines of tears flowed out of Qi Qingyun's eyes.

Seeing the princess crying, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "Princess, where are you going?"

"You can go anywhere, but you don't want to go to Wei and Qin, as long as you stay with you for the rest of your life, take me away." ”

At this time, the tears in Qi Qingyun's eyes had stopped, and her soft face showed firmness and determination.

The princess is going to elope with her by herself! She doesn't want to go to the Wei Kingdom to make peace, and there was a loud "buzz" in Yi Jiuxiao's head.

He would never dare to do this, and he could not do it!

In the previous life, the loyal monarch and patriotic etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he did not dare to cross it after reincarnation, and eloped with the princess, which was definitely a great crime of disloyalty and injustice.

Yi Jiuxiao knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said to Qi Qingyun: "The princess atons for her sins, Weichen doesn't dare, and she can't do this." ”

"You get up, just because I didn't say it!"

Qi Qingyun glanced at Yi Jiuxiao resentfully, then turned around and turned his back to Yi Jiuxiao.

The scene became very silent and depressing, and Yi Jiuxiao was still kneeling on the ground, and the battle between heaven and man in his heart was difficult to calm down.

At this time, a voice sounded at the door of the tent: "Sister, what do you ask him to do, I don't think he dare, but he doesn't want to at all, he is a big official of the Qi court." ”
