Chapter 223: A Soldier Who Surrenders Without a Fight
A head poked out of the carriage window, it was Ye Tan, it seemed that Zhan Qianche had made arrangements when he entered the palace.
Bai Qianning got into the carriage under the watchful eyes of the guards, and when Ye Tan turned the direction of the carriage, Bai Qianning took Zhan Qianche out of the space.
The carriage galloped all the way, Bai Qianning roughly told Zhan Qianche what happened in the palace, in order not to arouse Zhan Qianqi's suspicion, they temporarily turned the horse's head and went in the direction of Xiangmanlou.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Xiangmanlou, which was originally full of people every day, was closed at the moment and was not open.
Bai Qianning guessed that Yan Yuan might be worried that Bai Qianning would really settle accounts with Yan Moze, so he got the person away in advance, but in this way, the little suspicion that Bai Qianning still had in his heart that the murderer was Yan Moze became a certainty.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Qianning could only propose: "Since the person is not here, let's go back to the small courtyard in the county first." Now that I want to go out of the city to Chiyan Mountain, I am afraid that there will be a tail to follow, but it is easy for Zhan Qianqi to find out the hiding place of the soldiers, so we will stay in the county for two days, first, to stabilize Zhan Qianqi's suspicions, and secondly, I want to see Yan Moze, he killed so many people, and Grandma Zhao also died at his hands, no matter what, I must ask him to understand. ”
"Well, that's fine! It's better for you to be less running around now! ”
Zhan Qianche nodded, took Bai Qianning into his arms, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with his big palm, which was still flat, but made him feel warm. In less than a year, he had the little girl in his arms and their common child, all of which made him happy and hesitant.
After entering the small courtyard, Zhan Qianche first ordered Ye Tan to go out of the city and send a message to Chiyan Mountain, and ordered all the troops to stay put, waiting for the new deployment, and then took Bai Qianning into the house.
Looking at Bai Qianning's slightly haggard face, Zhan Qianche was distressed, and was afraid that she would lie down on the bed to rest, while she had been staying in front of the bed.
Bai Qianning called for his pulse, and the fetal image was still quite stable, so he just lay on the bed and talked to Zhan Qianche, and did not fall asleep. She has always been sensitive, and it is difficult for her to fall asleep when she pretends to be in her heart.
Bai Qianning remembered that he had been kidnapped by the hidden guards sent by Zhan Qianqi to Chiyan Mountain, so he asked worriedly, "Are your subordinates still hiding in Chiyan Mountain?" I'm worried that Chiyan Mountain is no longer safe. ”
"It's people who are not safe, not mountains."
A hint of gloom flashed in Zhan Qianche's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed the fine strands of hair on Bai Qianning's forehead behind his ears, before continuing: "Your whereabouts were betrayed to the Yan family by Zheng Huai, and the route in the secret room was also leaked by Zheng Huai, but he was still a little jealous of me, and only said that you were in Chiyan Mountain, and did not tell the people of the Yan family that Chiyan Mountain was our stronghold, so Zhan Qianqi should not know this." ”
"Zheng Huai?" Bai Qianning carefully searched for this unfamiliar name in his mind, and then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "This Zheng Huai is the second leader of Chiyan Mountain, right?" I remember seeing him when you first took me to Chiyan Mountain. ”
"Not bad! That's him. ”
Zhan Qianche snorted lightly, raised his head and said: "I rarely missee anyone in my life, but I didn't expect to let someone put it together, fortunately nothing happened to you, if something really happened, I chopped him up and couldn't be angry!" ”
"So, he defected?"
"It's not a rebellion, Zheng Huai has some talent, but he has always been subordinate to Zhou Wu, and it is inevitable that he will have resentment in his heart. The reason why he told the Yan family your news this time was also to make a deal with the Yan family, and he asked the Yan family to send secret guards to kill Zhou Wu for him so that he could replace him. ”
"Zhou Da is in charge?"
Bai Qianning thought of the bandit leader who was bold and very righteous, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "How is the big boss of Zhou now?" ”
"Dead!"
Zhan Qianche spit out these two words in a deep voice, his eyes burned with anger, and his clenched fists burst into green tendons.
Seeing this, Bai Qianning could only gently open his clenched fist and give him a comforting look, hoping to give him some comfort.
Bai Qianning knew that the change of dynasty meant bloodshed and death, and Zhou Wu would not be the first, nor would he be the last, but whether it was Zhan Qianche or her, she didn't want to see anyone die in vain, but this seemed to be another paradox.
......
At night, Bai Qianning lay in Zhan Qianche's arms, because Zhan Qianche was worried that Bai Qianning's body would not be safe here, so he did not follow her into the space.
After Bai Qianning went in, she first changed the medicine for Agarwood, and saw that most of her injuries had healed, so she was a lot more relieved. She told Agarwood everything that happened outside, and then went alone to the mountain stream where she had last met her grandfather.
She always had a question in her heart, and she wanted to ask her grandfather for clarification.
The last time I waited in the mountain stream for a long time, I didn't see my grandfather, Bai Qianning didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect that this time, grandpa would wait for her in the mountain stream as if he had expected her to come.
Seeing her grandfather who she hadn't seen for a long time, Bai Qianning first mentioned to him that she had seen Master Bai and Mrs. Bai who looked very similar to her parents, and her grandfather only told her that there would be many overlapping people or things in the overlapping space, but these people or things were essentially different, so even if the couple looked exactly the same as his parents, they would not be her real parents, so she didn't need to worry much about it.
Then Bai Qianning asked his grandfather about the doubts he had always had in his heart: "Grandpa, if fate chooses me to help fight Qianche to change the dynasty, does it also mean that the way to change the dynasty is also determined by me?" Maybe I can go for a non-war solution, right? ”
Grandpa Bai heard this, his eyes were very pleased, and he only said: "Good boy, it is the blessing of dawn that you can think like this, the price to be paid for war is too great, if you can use non-war methods, it is naturally the best, just girl, grandpa needs to remind you that no one in my Bai family has relied on non-war methods to achieve their goals in the past generations, and if you want to do this, it is likely to be in vain." ”
"Whether it's in vain or not, I'll have to try. I remember when I was young, my grandfather once told me that in the Tang Dynasty, there were often small countries that voluntarily surrendered because of their admiration for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and I had space here, the medical skills given to me by my grandfather, and the business experience that I had heard from my parents, and I believed that if I could create a prosperous era that surpassed the imperial court, maybe a new dynasty would come. ”
Bai Qianning said this, her eyes were determined, no matter how difficult these things were, but she firmly believed in her heart that only by doing anything in person would she not regret it.
Seeing her such a determined appearance, Grandpa Bai smiled brightly with his beard in one hand, and when his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, a touch of gold crossed his eyes, and he opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it back, but he just stepped on the boat and untied the rope and drifted away towards the center of the lake, leaving only one sentence: "Girl, grandpa this is the last time he appears, and the way forward can only rely on yourself." ”
......
Bai Qian condensed out of the space, and when he opened his eyes, it was bright.
Zhan Qianche looked at her sideways with his head on his back, his eyes were extremely gentle, if the time went back to half a year ago, he thought that he might choose to live with her in his arms like this, no matter what hatred it was, war, the throne, and a peaceful and peaceful life were the most precious.
It's just that it's too late at the moment, they have been preparing for so long, and this battle will have to be fought sooner or later.
Seeing that Bai Qianning had woken up, Zhan Qianche came back to his senses, and asked with a faint smile, "Why did you wake up so early?" Are you going to see Grandpa? ”
He had already consciously called Bai Qianning's grandfather grandpa, Bai Qianning listened to it warmly in his heart, so he nestled in his arms and nodded, and then opened his mouth, but what Zhan Qianche didn't expect was that Bai Qianning's every word was exactly in line with his mind at this time.
Bai Qianning told Zhan Qianche about the conversation between himself and his grandfather one by one, and also told his plans for the future.
Since they want to surrender without a fight, then doing business to help the world is the most effective way for them to do at the moment. Only by gathering people's hearts can we obtain a veritable monarchy. As for Zhan Qianqi, when the time comes, a 'elixir of life' containing lead and tribute is enough for him to abdicate and make way for Xian.
