Chapter 254: The Desert Realm
That's why she wanted to escape from the Great Chu Palace so much, it was not a place she liked, and she couldn't see the future she wanted there.
For her, it's a cage.
Maybe Yue'er sees that she can live so easily now, but these are all because Xiao Yu has taken on all the hard work, governed Da Chu well, and cultivated Taotao, so that he can unload his burden.
Although there is no rebellion in Dachu today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they may become panicked one day, so Yue'er must be psychologically prepared.
Ruan Jiaqing is a textbook, but it can't be the same as her.
Yue'er has been listening carefully to Ruan Jiaqing's teachings and has never spoken a word.
After Ruan Jiaqing finished speaking, she slowly expressed her thoughts.
"Queen Mother, I understand what you said. If I am just a weak woman, who only knows how to let her husband take refuge all the time, then I am not the best candidate for the crown princess, and I am not worthy to be with the heavens. ”
"But the reason why he chose me is that he loves me, and second, he also thinks I am suitable...... Married into the royal family, I know what I need to shoulder. And Tianlin and I, we have known each other since childhood, and our relationship is also deep, and we will definitely work together to overcome all difficulties. ”
"Queen Mother, my father is the general of Dachu, and although my mother is just an ordinary woman, they are not bad, and as their children, how can I be bad. So rest assured, I will live up to your expectations. ”
Yue'er said this softly, and others thought she was well-behaved and weak, so they felt that her temperament was the same, but it was actually wrong.
Yue'er is also strong in her bones, and just what she said just now, Ruan Jiaqing heard her self-confidence.
Her words dispelled Ruan Jiaqing's concerns.
Yue'er is a smart woman, Ruan Jiaqing overturned her previous perception of her, she felt that she had to re-examine Yue'er.
After listening to her words, Ruan Jiaqing smiled, "Since you have been mentally prepared, it is good to have you with Taotao, so I can rest assured." It's just that Taotao and his father are not good at it, and Da Chu will be handed over to you young people. ”
Yue'er was frightened and said anxiously: "Don't say that, the queen mother, the emperor has worked hard to make the country prosperous, and we have such a peaceful and prosperous world." Niangniang, you opened an orphanage and a academy, so that so many homeless children have a place to go and can study, and even the law has been changed because of you. ”
Such a sincere tone, not a compliment, but admiration emanating from the bottom of my heart.
Not only does Yue'er admire Ruan Jiaqing so much, but all the women of Dachu also admire her.
It was she who elevated the status of women in this era, she helped too many people, and at the same time gave all women a sense of hope. This will be a strong and memorable stroke in history, and the descendants of the Great Chu royal family will not forget this queen.
Ruan Jiaqing smiled indifferently, she didn't care about these fame at all.
But when I did these things, I really hoped to be able to take care of some state affairs for Xiaoyu, and in this position, I had to do something I should do.
The queen is not always supposed to stay in the palace to eat, drink and be merry.
The carriage was not moving fast, and there were melons and fruits in the car, Ruan Jiaqing ate some of them, and then chatted with Yue'er.
I don't talk about those heavy topics anymore, I'm out to play today, and it doesn't match today's scenery.
Coupled with the words just exchanged, Ruan Jiaqing is now completely not worried that Yue'er will not be able to bear the pressure in the future.
Although Yue'er is not as imposing as Princess Yutong, her gentleness carries her own tenacity, which is her character, and Ruan Jiaqing also appreciates it.
King Yu and Chu Tianlin also chatted all the way, and he felt that his son had really grown up, and he could shoulder the burden of Da Chu.
King Yu doesn't need to worry about anything, his children are really better than him, Taotao will definitely take care of Da Chu better, and cultivate such a successor, he is worthy of the ancestor of Da Chu.
"Father, at this time, those people in the Cangming Kingdom should have already left the realm of Langyue." Chu Tianlin glanced at King Yu meaningfully, King Yu hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and there was the same look in his deep eyes.
"What do you think of this overture of the Cangming Kingdom?" King Yu asked.
Although Chu Tianlin was not in the Moon Kingdom at that time, he also knew that some agreements had been reached between the two countries.
As far as he knew, Cangming was a small and emerging country, and he had sent people there to inquire about some news, but they had never returned, so they were all jealous of Cangming.
Chu Tianlin thought for a while and replied: "Since Cangming Country has taken the initiative to make friends, it means that their strength is not strong enough, and they need the support of the Moon Country, and why do they choose the Moon Country instead of Xinyin and Guawa Country, probably because the geographical location of the Moon Country has certain advantages." ”
Chu Tianlin's words hit the nail on the head, and he saw the key points when he looked at the problem, and his analysis was very reasonable.
King Yu nodded with satisfaction, "It's just that we haven't figured out the details of the Moon Country. We haven't even been to where they are. It's like the enemy is in the dark, and I'm in the open, which is not conducive to future negotiations. ”
"What my father said is that I have brought a secret guard and have already followed them, and I believe that I will be able to bring back some news." Chu Tianlin stared into the distance.
Others only look at the endless scenery, but what he sees is the mountains and rivers and the world. His heart is pretending to be the people of Li and the world.
So he was destined to be the one to take on the heavy responsibility.
King Yu laughed, this son of his, really thought of going with him.
The two fathers and sons have sent people to follow the three of Cangming Kingdom, as long as they follow their footprints all the way, they will definitely be able to find the hiding place of Cangming Kingdom, lurk for a while, and then come back with some news.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be so passive.
Speaking of the issue of Cangming Kingdom, Chu Tianlin expressed a lot of opinions, and King Yu agreed with these views.
He didn't expect that his children had become more and more excellent over the years, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. He doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, but now he has the Yue Kingdom......
Although he is friendly with Cangming Kingdom, what is hidden under the calm lake is wave after wave of unknown turbulence.
Cangming Kingdom is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and King Yu always has a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Especially after seeing that scene in Xuanming Zhu......
In the scene, it is a fragment of him marrying Cangsheng Xue.
He didn't know if this was a deception by Cang Shengxue, or if it would be true in the future...... He didn't believe it would be true, because he would never abandon Ruan Jiaqing.
These are unknown, even terrifying.
Cangming Kingdom is too mysterious and a little weird, although on the surface they came to get the Moon Kingdom just to make friends, but what kind of secrets are hidden underneath, only they know.
So this time, King Yu dispatched almost all his forces in the shadows, and all of them went to check the details of the Netherworld.
Especially that Wei Yanhuang, it is necessary to check it out.
At the same time, the three of Wei Yanhuang had already crossed the border of the Langyue Kingdom and arrived at a desert realm, where the wind and sand were everywhere, and there were no people everywhere, and there was no edge in sight.
The old king's men had arrived, and they all mounted their horses and hastened their journey, and they were to cross the sandbar before dark, so they could not be too slow.
The rays of the sun in autumn are not so strong, and if you ride a horse for several hours in such a place on a hot summer day, you will collapse.
Led by Emperor Wei Yan, Cang Xuanyi and Cang Shengxue followed closely behind, escorted by a cavalry, and their speed was very fast, as if chasing the wind with lightning.
The secret guards sent by King Yu are also in hot pursuit, the speed can't be too slow, and at the same time, they can't let them find out, the desert is not easy to walk, although their physique and martial arts are first-class strong, but after all, the talents of Cangming Country grew up in the desert, and years of training have also formed a habit. Soon the guards were left far behind.
And because this is a desert, although the horse's hooves will leave traces when they pass, but when the wind blows, those traces disappear completely.
Not to mention the traces of the horse's hooves, that is, the person died here, and after a while, it will be drowned by the wind and sand, and there will be no trace left.
If it weren't for someone who was familiar with the road here and accidentally broke into the desert, I was afraid that there would be no return.
Therefore, the people sent by Chu Tianlin before were probably in the desert area and couldn't break through.
This time, with the people of Cangming Kingdom leading the way, the dark guards were able to chase after them, but they were about to lose them......
How could Wei Yanhuang and Cang Xuanyi not know that there were secret guards chasing after them, King Yu's secret guards were elite soldiers, but they were not vegetarians.
And the desert is their world, they are like fish in water here, who can track them here without being detected?
I'm afraid that even if King Yu himself comes, he may not be able to do it.
The wind and sand rolled four volumes, the road ahead was blank, and they couldn't see clearly, watching the team of Wei Yanhuang and others disappear directly into the far desert, the secret guards stopped at this time, and then continued to chase down, they couldn't catch up, but it was very likely that they exposed themselves.
And the hidden forces in the depths of the desert are unimaginable, so for the sake of insurance, they still choose to give up.
Chu Tianlin and the team of people sent by King Yu met at this time, they knew each other's identities, and there was no nonsense, everyone decided to stop there.
Before they set out on the mission, the master had instructed them to put safety first, because they were not in a hurry to find out about the Cangming country.
These secret guards are already the last strength of King Yu, and he will not be desperate for a small vicissitude.
Emperor Wei Yan, Cang Xuanyi and the others had already passed through the desert before dark, and when they reached the boundary of Cangming Kingdom, it would take another half an hour to quickly enter the city.
And the two teams of King Yu and Chu Tianlin had already returned, but because the wind and sand were too strong, they got lost directly, and it was dark, so they didn't know which direction to go at all.
I had to spend the night in the desert first, but the wind and sand here at night will be stronger, and if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will have to bury my bones here.
But they are the dead guards who have experienced a hundred battles, and even if they work hard, they will last until dawn. The mission is not completed, but you must save your life and go back!
