Chapter 724: Affectionate to Death
Chu Nian stayed in the military camp for a few more days, and news suddenly came from the capital, saying that the Queen Mother was dead, and each family could not mourn without one, and the Mu family had Mrs. Mu there, but the Chu family had to go back to one of the sisters and brothers.
There was no other news mentioned in the news sent by Ming Xiu, which made Chu Nian feel a little strange, the death of the Queen Mother was really confusing, could it be that when Chu Nian came out, wasn't the Queen Mother still alive?
But since Ming Xiu didn't mention other news, it means that this matter is not fake, if there is really any conspiracy and trickery, Ming Xiu will smell a trace of danger anyway.
But there are only a few words left, and there are no other words.
Now that the border is in an emergency, I don't know when the barbarians will choose to invade in a big way, and Chu Yuanlang can't return to Beijing at will.
But after all, this matter is not a trivial matter, and at the moment, Chu Nian is hesitating whether to go to meet with West Chu Yueling, so he saw Chu Yuanlang speak: "Since you are just going to explore the bottom of the Qinghe, you don't have to go over in person, right?" ”
Chu Nian wrinkled his brows, and saw Chu Yuanlang said: "Now my Chu family is in turmoil in the capital, because my sister has helped the prince too much, and my Chu family can be regarded as powerful in the capital. ”
"Although the Queen Mother does a lot of evil on weekdays, but after all, she is the Queen Mother, if no one from my Chu family returns to Beijing now, I am afraid that those ministers who covet the rights of the Chu family will seize the handle of my Chu family."
"After all, for them, once the Queen Mother dies, then the whole Great Liang will be considered peaceful in the world."
Chu Yuanlang looked up at Chu Nian with a smile, like a little doll asking for merit and reward, "Sister, do you see what I said right?" ”
Chu Nian glanced at him appreciatively, "What you said is indeed very right, but on the side of Xichu, we also promised in advance to ask me to go over in person, if someone else ......"
"I'll go." Mu Qing volunteered: "In terms of strategy, I may not be as powerful as you, but in terms of courage, I am not inferior to you, after all, I am also the queen of the Mu family, and my Mu family has been a master of war for generations. ”
Chu Nian pondered for a while, then turned to laugh and scolded Mu Qing, "Who do you say is plotting?" ”
probably understood that he had said the wrong thing, and Mu Qing scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's that I can't talk but have a brain, but after all, Xichu Yueling is my cousin, if I go, I can still make the people of Xichu feel relieved." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian nodded, "It makes sense, if you can go over for me, I'm afraid that the princess will be happier." ”
Seeing that Chu Nian did not object, Mu Qing glanced at Chu Yuanlang proudly, and saw that Chu Yuanlang helplessly reached out and rubbed Mu Qing's head, before retracting his gaze.
When Chu Nian set off again on the way back to Beijing, Qingyi was still by his side, but there was a small pill in his arms, and there was also an extra Wu Sanniang by his side.
The carriage at this stall shook violently, and Chu Nian was carefully protecting the little pill in his arms tightly, when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the carriage.
Qingyi hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked out of the lathe, his face was a little worried, "The atmosphere seems to be a little wrong, I always feel that this place is extremely dangerous." ”
Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows slightly, and saw Qingyi turn over and jump out of the carriage, "I'll take a look, you and Xiao Maruko are so good to stay." ”
Without waiting for Chu Nian to stop him, Qingyi's figure was already far away, and Xiao Maruki was looking up at Chu Nian slightly, "Senior sister, what's wrong with him, senior brother?" ”
Chu Nian
didn't rush to answer Maruko's words, she took the lead in concentrating and feeling it for a while, and her face suddenly sank.
Xiao Maruki was put on the carriage well, and saw Chu Nian towards the person outside the carriage: "Take Xiao Maruki and Wu Sanniang back to the capital and send them to Huainan Palace, don't worry about us." ”
The one who drove the car was a reliable elite soldier who asked Chen Yue to come, this elite soldier was a person who knew how to obey orders, and when he saw Chu Nian turn over and get out of the car, he pulled the car and drove quickly towards the front without looking back.
Wu Sanniang poked her head out of the car window and called out to Chu Nian from a distance, "County Lord!" Princess! I'll stay too! ”
Chu Nian waved his hand at her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when I solve this matter, I will definitely catch up and chase you soon!" ”
When these words fell, Chu Nian turned his head and looked directly at the seemingly calm bushes not far away with a serious face.
Qingyi has been in for a long time, but there is still no movement, Chu Nian can clearly feel that there are no less than dozens of people buried nearby, but why Qingyi has not heard back yet, she has no way of knowing.
Obviously, these people are ambushing them.
Chu Nian was hesitating whether to go into the bushes to save Qingyi, when he heard a high-pitched birdsong, and in the next second, a big cyan bird rushed into the sky, which was the appearance of Qingyi when he first transformed.
Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows, and the dozens of people who were ambushed in the bushes suddenly came out from all directions, and then, the big cyan bird rushed into the sky, and suddenly fell to the ground, turning into the appearance of green wings.
"Senior brother?" Chu Nian wrinkled his brows and looked at the people who had completely surrounded them, and he caught a glimpse of Qingyi's embarrassed appearance.
Seeing Qing Yi panting and arranging his robe, he said, "I don't know how long these things have been ambushed here, you should be careful, not all of them are illusionists." ”
Not all, that is, there are illusionists among them, and there are people in the martial arts.
Chu Nian's eyes swept around, and sure enough, a calm and unhurried person slowly walked out from behind, the folding fan in his hand shook gently, and a pair of peach blossom eyes had a somewhat sarcastic smile in his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at Chu Nian not far away, "Wushuang County Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, sweeping over everyone present, these people were of different heights, mixed men and women, some of them were sturdy, and they were Lian Jiazi at first glance, and a few were thin and gloomy in their eyes, and they were illusionists at first glance.
She refocused her gaze on Tao Jinyan's face, "Long time no see, Mr. Jinyan, I really don't know whether to call you the master of the Qinghe branch hall or the master of the martial arts alliance." ”
Tao Jinyan tilted his head, seemed to think very seriously for a while, and then smiled as if he didn't care, "I prefer the title of martial arts alliance leader." ”
Chu Nian tightened his brows, his hands clenched into fists under the cuffs, but his eyes were still calm, "The leader of the martial arts alliance, but he is in the same stream as the people in Qinghe, aren't you afraid that others will listen to the jokes?" ”
"What's the joke about that?" Tao Jinyan twisted his brows slightly, "If it weren't for this group of martial arts people finding me, I would have forgotten that I still have the identity of the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”
The scene in his eyes was still unfamiliar, so that Chu Nian couldn't find a trace of the countless times he had fought side by side and was born and died, she twisted her eyebrows slightly, and saw Tao Jinyan smiled slightly and said: "What's even more ridiculous is that they also said that you and I used to be friends, and I used to love you to death, but you always just used me?" ”
Chu Nian's face turned pale, and he saw Tao Jinyan continue to smile: "I also heard that you used illusion to confuse me at the beginning, so that I have always been dead to you.
It also made me die for you several times, but fortunately, I am really a big person, otherwise. ”
Tao Jinyan flicked the fan, and with a "snap", a breeze blew through his sideburns, blowing up a puff of dust.
"I may be so affectionate as to die for you."
When these words fell, there was a silence all around, Chu Nian could feel the disdainful gaze coming from all directions, she knew what kind of image she was among these martial arts people, Tao Jinyan's long-term unilateral efforts made her have no chance to reciprocate, and it also made the martial arts people hate her.
This is a matter of course, and Chu Nian is unable to refute it.
At this point, Tao Jinyan stepped forward slightly, and shook the folding fan in his hand gently, "How is the county lord going to resist me today?" Will you be distracted to resist my illusionist here, or will you fight my martial arts masters one by one first? ”
"Still." The smile on the corner of his mouth was still meaningful, "I don't mean to ask the county lord to choose, these two, no matter which side the county lord deals with, they will be captured by me, it's better to just be arrested, maybe I can give the county lord dignity." ”
Chu Nian tightened his brows, and he heard Qingyi's voice coming from his side, "These people are not easy to deal with, the level of those illusionists is enough to break my illusion, as for those people in the martial arts, I haven't seen them make a move, but looking at the momentum, it's not weak." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian looked at Qing Yi with a serious face, "How long is Senior Brother sure to hold out under those illusionists?" ”
Qingyi twisted his brows and thought for a while, "There will be no problem for about an hour." ”
Chu Nian took a deep breath, "Okay, then you will deal with the illusionist, and I will deal with those people in the martial arts." ”
With that, she tore open her sleeves and tied strips of rags to her eyes calmly.
Qing Yi was a little worried, "You want to avoid the illusion of the illusionist, but if you only rely on your sense of hearing to deal with these martial arts people, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
Chu Nian shook his head lightly, "It's okay, what I've been cultivating these days is not just illusions, you can only do light skills at most, for our illusions, those people in the martial arts are probably also on guard, your illusions are stronger than mine, you come to deal with these illusionists, and when I defeat these martial arts people, I will help you." ”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Qingyi had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and said lightly: "Then you be careful, that Tao Jinyan won't keep watching." ”
The words fell, and the dagger slipped into Chu Nian's hand, and Chu Nian quickly rushed towards the nearest martial arts person.
At the same time, Qingyi was also turning his eyes to the illusionists who were about to move, "Hey, your opponent is me!" ”
Seeing that the two parties were entangled, Tao Jinyan, who was standing in the corner, looked at Chu Nian, who was blindfolded and circling among a group of martial arts masters, but was still calm, and his eyes flashed slightly, as if there was a bit of inexplicable suspicion written in it.
After a moment, he hooked the corners of his mouth again, "One person against one side?" It's interesting, is this a bet that I won't make a move? ”
A gloomy light flashed in his eyes, "I'm not going to be stupid anymore. ”
When these words fell, the plain white clothes quickly skipped the battlefield and went straight to Chu Nian.
At the same time, Chu Nianzheng swung his sword and struck a blow, picking up the long sword in the enemy's hand and falling into his own hand.
Feeling the sound of breaking the sky behind her, she quickly turned around and swept the steel nails that were close at hand.
I heard Tao Jinyan's voice close at hand, "Do you think that I will definitely not make a move on you?" ”
