Volume 8 Chapter 7 The Journey Away



Chapter 7: Leaving in a hurry

Early the next morning, Wen Xian had already returned safely from the capital. And brought out the news in the capital.

Su Mi opened the letterhead that Miqing had brought back to Wen Xian. The letter described in detail the current physical condition of the little prince, and said that many things that have happened in the capital in the past few months. Reading between the lines, it can be seen that although the situation in the capital is tense under the rule of the Liao people, the days are still peaceful, and the child has not relapsed.

After reading the letterhead, Su Mi's mood was a little calmer.

The matter of contacting Juyu Pass is naturally as fast as possible, and now from the capital to the boundary of Yongzhou, it is all the sphere of influence of the Liao army, so Ge Chengming is ready to detour from the Laizhou boundary in the west, which greatly increases the distance, and it will take at least a month to reach the border pass.

Without further ado, on this day, Ge Chengming and Wen Xian bid farewell to Su Mi and the others and set off north to Juyuguan.

Wen Xian was originally worried about Su Mi's safety, but Ge Chengming's journey to the north was full of chaos, he was a weak scholar, and he was indispensable for the protection of masters, and only in this way could Su Mi be able to put his mind at ease.

Several people sent each other all the way, and when they arrived at the edge of the village, they said goodbye.

Su Mi and Qi Hao stood side by side on the high ground, watching the two of them go away, feeling lost in their hearts.

"Let's go back," Seeing that Su Mi's gaze was still in the distance, Qi Hao said: "Wen Xian's martial arts are still above me, and he will definitely be able to ensure Mr. Ge's safe return." ”

Saying that, he was as usual. Reaching out to wrap his hand around Su Mi's shoulder, Su Mi trembled slightly, "Okay." He turned around, took a step forward, and Qi Hao held the air in his hand,

He couldn't help but have a faint doubt in his eyes.

The two have been getting along for nearly half a year. Although they are a loving couple on the surface, they have actually been polite all the time.

It's just that such a plain and peaceful, trivial and warm day has passed for a long time. They are already as familiar with each other as relatives. Even both of them have the illusion that they may really be husband and wife.

Usually such thoughtful movements are already familiar. Today, Qi Hao intuitively found that Su Mi was a little unnatural.

Qi Hao's hand paused in the air for a moment, and finally withdrew, followed Su Midi, and returned to the house.

The days still seem to be as usual. The hunters in the village came to call Qi Hao and went into the mountains to hunt together.

Su Mi is ready to pack. Send him out.

In the evening, Qi Hao came back, and Su Mi had already prepared a meal waiting for him.

The two ate in silence, Qi Hao broke the dullness and asked, "Are you still worried about Mr. Ge?" ”

"No," Su Mi shook his head and said, "With Wen Xian here, I can rest assured." ”

Qi Hao couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. "You trust him, Wen Xian's reputation in the rivers and lakes has always been to recognize money but not people. Moreover, he assassinated Qi Long twice, and he must be a person who has a deep enmity with us. ”

"He won't. Su Mi shook his head absentmindedly, "I know about him, you don't have to worry." ”

Qi Hao didn't speak, he lowered his head. I can't help but think of the last time Wen Xian's assassination, when the Ouchi guards and the forbidden army searched almost the entire palace, but they didn't find the seriously injured assassin. He also speculated that the person who stabbed him was Wen Xian based on the information provided by the palace eyeliner, and now it seems that how did he escape from the palace? Think of the mask that Su Mi used again......

He glanced up at Su Mi and didn't speak, but there was a sour feeling in his heart, and his mood suddenly became restless.

Su Mi was upset, and he didn't notice his abnormality, and unconsciously ate a few bites of food. I poked the leaves with my chopsticks. Suddenly, he asked, "Aren't you ready to leave?" ”

"Ah," Qi Hao was stunned. Stunned: "Leave? ”

"Now the local forces in Daqi are waiting for an opportunity to move, wavering, and there is a need for a central figure to unite them. The royal nobles of Daqi have been slaughtered, and who else can contact them except you. Su Mi lightly stated the facts.

"Jianzhou General Shen Yue and the commander of the water division stated...... The forces in the hands of these people are also a big force, and now that Mr. Ge is going north, once the matter is done, the Liao army will definitely go south and compete with Ni Yuan. Time is pressing, and it's time to seize the opportunity to seize the power. Then Taoguang recuperated in obscurity, and when the two armies were tired, he took the opportunity to ...... Find a way forward. ”

"You see it far away. Qi Hao looked at Su Mi's cold expression quietly and said.

"Didn't you think of that?" Su Mi asked him rhetorically, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Qi Hao was stunned for a moment and said, "I naturally thought of it." It's just that the preparation is far less long-term than yours. ”

"Aren't you thinking long enough?" Su Mi smiled and said, "I thought Prince Yu's information was very thorough. ”

"No matter what, I can't compare to you. Qi Hao smiled, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Su Mi's words, but he didn't understand where this dissatisfaction came from, his heart became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Even a talent like Wen Xian can be included in the company, how can I compare!" ”

A vague mist floated between the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze. This is the first time the two have quarreled since living in this bamboo house.

Su Mi's heart was bitter, he was hiding a lot of things from her, and she wasn't like this? At least Mu Qinghan's move, she never revealed it to him.

There are too many disputes over power and interests between them, and countless obstacles are separated between them, and they can't be honest like ordinary people after all.

A sour feeling came up in my heart, perhaps, this period of time has really ended, and this short life is just a dream.

When you wake up from a dream, you have to return to reality after all.

Seeing Su Mi's expression, he looked sad. Qi Hao's heart softened, and he couldn't help but say, "It's me who lost my word." In fact, what he just said is also the truth, he was sixteen years old, Concubine Miaoyi made a statement to the first emperor, and he was able to enter the military department Yamen to experience and study. Ordinary princes start training and cultivation at the age of fourteen. He started far behind others.

"It was only at that time that I began to cultivate my own local power," Qi Hao said with a wry smile: "It's just a few years of hard work. How can it be compared to Nan Chen's intelligence organization that has been running in Daqi for decades, and there is also a lack of a wise man like Mr. Ge who can control the overall situation. ”

"I was jealous of you just now. Don't be angry, it's me who is wrong," Qi Hao said with a smile, "Miss Gu Er, but spare me." ”

Su Mi smiled on his face, and he could be regarded as revealing this matter.

Of course, he has something to hide from himself, and so does himself. Who is to blame him?

Could it be that this disguised conjugal life, such a dull and leisurely life, has passed for too long, so that she began to unconsciously ignore the identity and estrangement between her and him,

In fact, the distance between them was far more distant than she imagined, she was the concubine of the Great Qi Emperor, and he was the elder brother of the Great Qi Emperor, and she was the remnant of Nan Chen Jiuwei. Ill-intentioned, only thinking about plotting wrongdoes, and he is the prince of Daqi, shouldering a heavy responsibility, racking his brains to turn the tide.

After all, one day, he and she will go back to the court. It's all about going back to that gorgeous and dreary cage.

This kind of mountain freedom is only a brief episode for them.

It's just that for her, this period of life is full of comfortable and soothing enjoyment, and these days, the breeze blowing in the mountains has allowed her to relax and immerse herself in this leisurely and ordinary life. And for him, I'm afraid that even such a short episode is a waste of time, what he wants is the emperor's hegemony, an immortal achievement, a fame in the world, and a pride in the world.

And it doesn't belong here......

Su Mi turned his head. Window. The summer sun is scorching, and before you know it. The trees were already screaming, and the voices were coming in waves, making people upset.

"What I said just now is also true," Su Mi's mood began to calm down strangely, and said with a smile: "Now that the situation is tense and the opportunity is fleeting, you can take the opportunity to subdue the local forces left by the powerful and wealthy families of Daqi, and besides you, can you find a better candidate?" She told the truth in a flat tone.

Qi Hao observed her carefully, she didn't lie, she was indeed not angry anymore, but there was an invisible wall, as if made of ice and snow, blocking her in front of her.

It was a coldness and detachment that made him even more unbearable than angry. Why is that?

What should I do?

This sudden distance between the two made Qi Hao's heart bitter.

“…… You stayed here to protect me, now everything here is safe, the mountains are hidden, even if the Liao people plunder, they will not find such a barren and far-reaching small village. ”

Su Mi continued.

A look of distress and contemplation appeared on Qi Haodi's face, and no matter what mood he was in, reality began to remind him that she was right. He had to admit that this was exactly what he had been thinking about these days.

In fact, as early as when the Queen Mother died and the Wang family was weakened, he had already begun to secretly contact the Wang family's power in the army, hoping to fill the gap left by the Wang family. He is very clear about his advantage, that is, the identity of the prince of Great Qi and the eldest son of the first emperor.

Having lost the cohesion of the Wang family, these local forces urgently need a guiding center, a spokesperson standing in the court, and what he needs is a more solid network base. He was always satisfied with the progress of the matter, and after the Liao people entered the customs, this kind of operation became smoother, and it became more urgent and necessary.

During the time when the two of them were hiding in Donglai Building, the contact with the outside of the city was cut off, so he was so anxious and eager to get out of the city.

In the days when he was free from the shackles of the city wall and lived in seclusion in the mountain village, he had secretly contacted all the forces, but the transmission of news was still not reliable, and those local forces were unconvincing after all, so he had to go there in person to show his sincerity.

He had to go. But......

"But if I leave, who will take care of you......" Qi Hao said hesitantly.

"Isn't everyone around me taking care of me? Besides, it's not like I'm incapable of self-preservation. Su Mi continued with a smile, his tone was calm and calm: "I have lived for so long, there has never been any accident, and the village is full of pure people." What else is there to worry about? What's more, the mountains are barren, and the Liao army will not come to loot. ”

Qi Hao looked up at Su Mi, his expression uneasy.
