Li Jingzhi shook his head, he really hadn't figured out these things yet.

So, the emperor told him to let him figure out this matter as much as possible.

And Qiu Jue is really boring, now that her grandfather's whereabouts are unknown, and she is poisoned, although she will not die, she doesn't know how long she will live.

So, Qiu Jue decided to go out for a walk.

She brought Little Peach and Xiaocao and two secret guards, while Qiu Chan was left behind.

They bought a carriage and stopped all the way to the edge of the southern border, and by the time the little emperor found out, they were already out of the city.

"The Queen Mother left, why didn't you inform me?"

Mo Yi is very innocent, "The subordinates told the emperor. ”

Well, he only dared to say this, and the little emperor seemed to remember this, but at that time he was talking about things with Li Jingzhi, and when he heard that Qiu Jue was going to take a walk around the city, he didn't think much about it.

Who would have thought that she would run out of town?

"Prepare the carriage immediately, I will go to the Queen Mother."

With that, the little emperor got up and walked out.

met Qiu Chan head-on, she saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, Niangniang has something to ask the slave to bring to you." ”

The little emperor's face was very bad, and he said with a cold face: "Say." ”

"Niangniang asked the slave maid to tell the emperor that she was just going out for a walk, I hope you don't forget the purpose of your trip, let alone the current situation of the court, she will be back in a few days."

The little emperor's face was even more ugly, he looked at Qiu Chan and asked, "Who did the Queen Mother take away?" ”

"Except for the slaves and maids, the other waiters are all with them, please rest assured, the emperor." Qiu Chan thought for a while, and added, "Niangniang has always liked the outside world, and she wants to come out for a walk, but she finally came out, and she is not at ease all the way, so you can give her a few days off!" ”

Don't be restless.

It's a life of death.

The little emperor waved his hand and asked her to stand back, and then turned around and walked back, where Li Jingzhi was still waiting in place.

Thinking that he should speak out to persuade the emperor, after all, he knows the situation of the imperial city, and now at this time, if the emperor doesn't care about it because of one person, it is really a little unreasonable.

The little emperor sat down again and asked, "You just said that Taifu has a letter to me?" ”

Li Jingzhi nodded, took out an envelope with fire paint from his arms, and handed it over directly.

This was transmitted by them through a special channel, and the little emperor tore open a gap, unfolded the paper and began to study, and it was finished in a short time.

Li Jingzhi looked at it with a blank look, hoping that the emperor could share the content of this letter.

As a result, he didn't see the little emperor open his mouth for a long time, so he had to ask cautiously, "Your Majesty, what did Master Taifu say?" Did you find any clues? ”

Taifu is going to Suzhou this time to investigate why the news that the second son is still alive will come from there?

Qiu Zhentian went first, but before any news could be sent back, the person disappeared.

Taifu also set off after him, and now the news has finally returned.

The little emperor stood at the window, looking at the sky outside, and sighed lightly for a long time before he said, "My second emperor brother is still alive." ”

"What? Second, is the second son really alive? Then why didn't he show up back then? Li Jingzhi was surprised at first, and then there was a complaint in his tone, and then he reacted, his tone was a little too familiar, and he immediately stopped talking.

The little emperor didn't blame him, on the contrary, he himself chuckled and said, "Yes, if my father knew that he was alive, he would not have gone to look for me, and in that case, many things would not be as they are now." ”

I'm not going to get to where I am.

Then the little emperor shook his head and scattered those thoughts in his mind, no matter what, there was no turning back from the bow, and none of them could go back.

"Reply to Taifu, ask him to continue the investigation, and after getting all the news as much as possible, return directly to the capital."

The little emperor gave an order, Li Jingzhi hurriedly responded, and finally asked again, "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that Lord Taifu came back with a message, and he asked his subordinates to ask you, when will you return to Beijing?" ”

In fact, this is not only Taifu's doubts, but also what Li Jingzhi wants to say.

Of course, he hoped that the little emperor would go back quickly, the affairs in the capital were so complicated, and staying there would change rapidly, not to mention that it was so far away from Beijing, if something happened, he would not be able to fly and be too late to arrive.

"When it's time to go back, I'll go back."

After the little emperor said this, he looked at him again, "I'll take me to the barracks later." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out, asking for a set of soldiers' uniforms that had already been prepared for him.

Now the little emperor is about the same size as a sixteen-year-old boy, he draws quickly, and he no longer looks so thin.

When Li Jingzhi saw him, he was a little dumbfounded, "What is the emperor going to do?" ”

Not what he thinks, right? Don't be funny, the emperor went to the barracks to be a little soldier, what is this called?

"Although I was ordered to ascend the throne, I have no merit and achievements, now that I have come to the barracks, let's go in and have a look, it can be regarded as experiencing another life, let's go!"

Without giving Li Jingzhi time to digest, the little emperor should go out first.

Pugong wanted to follow, but the little emperor asked him, "You went, if everyone took a bath together, how should you explain it?" ”

Dangong immediately clamped his legs and covered the place, very aggrieved, "How can you say that slave." ”

The little emperor walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know that you are not at ease, but, Duke Pu, my father handed over the country that he had worked hard for twenty years to get into my hands, and I must guard it well, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." ”

Looking at the back of the little emperor leaving, at this moment, Pu Gonggong had to admit that the little emperor had grown up.

He understands what the little emperor means, now he has no say in the court, everything is in charge of the left minister and the regent, and he is like a puppet, he doesn't want to be such an emperor.

Therefore, he wants to join the army, understand the army, and earn the heart of the army.

The literati look at merit, while the military generals rely only on strength.

Let's say that Qiu Jue and the others were a group of five, and the first stop was to the most marginal place.

There is a city here, there is a moat outside the city gate, it is said to be a moat, in fact, it is a cliff about fifty meters wide, under the cliff is the turbulent river, except for a specific few days every year, the fog above disperses, only faintly you can see the water waves and quiet, the rest of the time you can't see anything, white and vast.

Outside the city gate is a soft bridge that connects the two places, and it will sway from side to side when you walk.

Beyond this cliff, there is an endless stretch of barren land that is said to be three kilometers wide, and the ground is dark red, mixed with black, and the rich smell is very unpleasant, as if it has been stained with endless blood.

"Niangniang, that is the boundary of Lingnan."

A few of them stood on the city wall, and the lark was popularizing everything here to Qiu Jue.

She would say a few words on weekdays, but the blackbird would barely speak.

In such a realm, Qiu Jue finally understood why Lingnan and the Celestial Empire had hardly fought each other, and what the hell was there to fight.

It is said that after crossing this river, the weather there is a different scene, like two worlds.

Neither side can adapt to the climate on the other side, and there is no need for intersection.

"So how did they live? Like us, do you build a city and live in a group? ”

The larks are really worthy of being the secret guards trained by the royal family, and they are well-informed, even if they have never been here, they know a lot about the customs and folklore here.

"Hui Niangniang, to the outside world, everyone calls Lingnan Kingdom, but in fact, it is just a tribe, they are a race, and they believe in the gods......"

The lark said a lot of things she knew, and Qiu Jue was surprised to find that the people of Lingnan actually practiced witchcraft.

Of course, not everyone can do it, only a very small number of geniuses and people in the royal family can practice.

But this is enough to surprise Qiu Jue.

I didn't expect to meet such a person in this time and space.

It's just that, according to the current situation, it is unlikely that she will have the opportunity to go to Lingnan.

Thinking of the news they got the day before yesterday, Qiu Jue asked the lark, "With such a tight defense, how did you say those Lingnan people got in?" ”

This time the lark did not speak, and the blackbird who spoke, she pointed to the cliff below and said, "If you have the ability, you can pass this distance." ”

"Of course, with the help of some support points, for example, the soft bridge."

Qiu Jue is still in the midst of petrification, fifty meters, you should be five meters of his meow, no, even five meters she can't pass, two meters is enough to choke, the people here are all non-human.

"Well, can you go over?"

The blackbird shook his head, "Slaves can't do it, but the lark can try." ”

They have their own strengths, the lark is excellent at light skills, and the blackbird is better at assassination.

Qiu Jue's neck stretched out, and she looked out, oops, even if there was a city wall in the way, she was afraid.

Just looking out, I feel like I'm going to fall, how can I run?

Completely insecure, forget it, she doesn't bother with it.

But I made up my mind in my heart that these two girls would never be returned to the little emperor.

She has to find a way to take their hearts over, so that her future life can live a little longer, of course, Qiu Jue automatically ignores the fact that she has a huge poison in her body and will not die soon.

Xiao Taohong's focus is obviously the same as her master, "The two sisters are so powerful, if you encounter bad people in the future, you have to protect us." ”

After speaking, he looked at the bridge again, "It is said that the bridge is not often opened, and it is hung up on weekdays, how do those Lingnan people borrow their strength?" ”

"The iron cable."

The lark explained that everyone looked out, and it was an iron cable supporting the soft bridge, and the middle of the rope just fell on it when the soft bridge was lowered, which caused the bridge deck to be unbalanced, and it looked like the illusion of a soft bridge.

"Oh my God, can there be a man standing up there?" Little Peach felt her legs go limp, and the ground beneath her feet began to shake.

Qiu Jue also had this idea, but thinking that these non-human people could use light skills, even a leaf could become the focus of attention, so he no longer doubted it.

"Let's go, let's stay in the city for one night tonight, and then go somewhere else tomorrow."

This wall is a viewing tower left for the common people, or ordinary people who come to play here, and it is stationed alone, and there are soldiers guarding it, and the time to go to the tower is stipulated.

At this point, it's time for them to go down.
