"Okay," Chu Qiao smiled, pressed Yan Xun in front of the desk, pointed to the chart on it, and began to speak seriously and meticulously. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
The sky was foggy and silent, and after taking a sip of tea, Chu Qiao made the last stroke, pointed to the chart and said: "As long as the Meng family is in charge of the Meng family one day, we don't have to worry too much." It seems to me now that instead of worrying about Shengjin Palace and Wei Valve, it is better to worry about the Zhuge family. β
Yan Xun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Didn't Zhuge Huai just leave Beijing?" Zhuge Muqing has gradually faded out of the presbyterian church in recent years, leaving all the big and small things in the family to Zhuge Huai to take care of. Will he meddle this time? β
"You are underestimating Zhuge Muqing, the old fox." Chu Qiao shook his head and said, "In the three hundred years of the empire, the Elders' Church family has changed hands repeatedly, and among the founding heroes of the original country, only Zhuge Yimai was killed from the grassland with Emperor Peiluo back then. This is the wrist of the Zhuge family, they know how to weigh and never put themselves on the cusp of the storm, unlike the Mu He clan who repeatedly compete for the limelight, because the kings of the past dynasties want to take back their power, but they only start from the people who are in the limelight, but their family has been preserved. The empire has been in constant strife over the years, and Zhuge Muqing seems to be modest, but he has repeatedly avoided disasters, and these will not rely on luck alone. Look here," Chu Qiao stretched out his finger and pointed at the chart, "This is the information I have collected in the past few months, and Zhuge Yimai can't see any movement on the surface, but the grain and grass, river salt, and iron mines in the northwest have been repeatedly deployed on a small scale, although the movement is not large, but it is very frequent." Zhuge Xi was transferred from Song Shui to Xihan City to collect grain tax per mu, and he didn't come back for two months. In my opinion, although the city of Xihancheng is small, it is adjacent to Yanming Pass, which is the only way for us to return to Yanbei, and is the center of Yaoshui, Fusu and Chishui Post Road, and the strategic location is extremely important, and it must not be underestimated.
"And, look here, on the eighth day of the first month of last month, the Council of Elders agreed to Zhuge Ran's letter to join the army, and Zhuge Muqing did not send his son to the southeast base camp of Zhuge to guard it, but went to the southwest camp as a general. The southwest and northwest are adjacent to each other, and the southwest camp is located in the territory of the Batuha family. And, and most importantly, didn't you notice that Zhuge Yue was coming back soon? β
Yan Xun nodded, "I have paid attention to this, what you said, Miss Yu sent someone to mention it to me a few days ago." β
"Oh?" Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "What did Miss Yu say?" β
She said that it was still early, and when Emperor Xia was on his birthday, there were many powerful people from all over the world, and there were too many variables. Now we can only improvise and see the moves. β
Chu Qiao's brows suddenly furrowed, she raised her face to look at Yan Xun, and said slowly, "Yan Xun, is this okay?" I'm worried that something will happen, should we prepare in advance? β
"Achu, there is no perfect solution in this world. Speaking of preparation, haven't we prepared enough all these years? Yan Xun looked at her bright eyes very seriously, stretched out his hand, and held her hand, "Achu, do you believe me?" β
Chu Qiao nodded, "I believe." β
"Then you can take a break," Yan Xun smiled faintly, "Leave the matter to me, this trip to Nanji Mountain, your body is too depleted, and you can't work anymore." β
"Yan Xun ......"
"I don't want to go back to Yanbei alone." Yan Xun suddenly said in a low voice, "I don't have half a family anymore, Achu, you are my most important person." β
The lights were dim, Yan Xun's eyes were as gentle as water, he raised his hand and rubbed Chu Qiao's cheek with the back of his hand, "Ah Chu, do you remember when I first entered the Shengjin Palace, I was seriously ill with a fever but there was no medicine to cure it, what you told me?" β
Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Yan Xun continue: "You said let me sleep with peace of mind, you will stay awake until I wake up." As a result, I slept for four days, and you were still taking care of me with your eyelids on. Achu, now that I have the ability to take care of you, you can sleep with peace of mind, and I will stay awake until the day when the two of us can close our eyes together and sleep safely. β
Chu Qiao lowered her head and gently pursed the corners of her mouth, a warm flame jumped in her heart, making her feel inexplicably at ease in this cold winter night, "Okay, then I won't leave, stay by your side, and wait for you to take me away." β
Yan Xun nodded, his eyes were bright, and his smile was like a lake thawing in March, and the boring mood of the past few months disappeared in an instant.
Achu, if we can walk in together, we must be able to go out together, you have to believe me, because in this world, we can only trust each other.
At that time, the snow was covered in the middle of winter, the long night was peaceful, and the Zhenhuang Imperial Capital was calm. However, no one knows what kind of fierce edge is surging under the underlying undercurrent. Those strange countercurrents lie dormant underground, ready to boil at any moment, and wipe everything out. The people on the shore can only walk carefully, trying not to get the corners of their clothes wet in the muddy water, and when a person's ability is not enough to fight the tide, all he can do is stay away from the tide.
Closing Chu Qiao's door and seeing the lights inside go out, Yan Xun's eyes suddenly became cold, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Xia Hua Palace, and there was a fierce edge flashing in his eyes. With a slight force on his fingers, a dry branch was broken, Yan Xun raised his head, closed his eyes, and suddenly remembered a night many years ago.
On that day, in order to find medicine for him who was sick, Achu was discovered by Wei Jing, who had been secretly monitoring them, and was surrounded by more than 20 big men and whipped and kicked fiercely. In order not to give others an excuse to deal with him, Achu didn't run away or fight back, and his skin and flesh rolled up and down, dripping with blood. When he arrived, the child was almost dying, but he was still clutching the bag of stolen herbs.
From that day on, he secretly swore that from now on, he would never let the people he valued leave his side, and the people he valued would never have a second one in this life and this life.
Hurry up, he's been waiting too long, almost can't wait.
Yan Xun opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear. Tomorrow, when Zhuge Yue is still in the court, I haven't seen him for seven years, how are my old friends from the past?
The wound on his shoulder has long healed, and some hatred has taken root in his heart. Yan Xun smiled coldly, turned around and strode into the darkness.
At the beginning of the year, the Zhenhuang Imperial Capital was plunged into the largest snowstorm in history, and heavy snow hit the ancient city for 12 consecutive days. The cold wind was fierce, and on the lonely ancient plank road, a black-armored light rider rode against the wind and snow, galloping on the ancient snowfield, and quickly swept towards Zhenhuang City.
This team of centaurs looks very inconspicuous, wearing ordinary blue cloth fur fur hoods, war knives and spears are wrapped in cotton cloth and carried on their backs, and the war horses they are riding are also ordinary Hongchuan horses, at first glance, they are nothing more than ordinary city defenders, but when they look closely, there is an indescribable sharp spirit.
The light ride passed all the way through Jiuwei, bypassed the lively main street, crossed Ziwei Square after Chihu Lake, and stopped in front of the Baiqiang Gate, where only the forbidden army in the inner city could stay. The man in the lead was dressed in ink-colored armor, and the big black fur was worn on his body, and he shook it slightly, full of wind, snow and yellow sand. He left the group and walked straight into the heavily guarded Shengjin Palace with a few of his subordinates.
"Your Highness the Seven!"
In the wind and snow, the young Zhao Che raised his head, his eyebrows were full of wind and frost, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were cold, and his four-year career in the border was like a stubborn stone, polishing this sharp blade even sharper. He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What about the eighth? β
"I've been taken care of by the Kojong Mansion."
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "How did you do the errand?" β
Several people immediately knelt down, looked terrified, and kowtowed in unison: "The slave should die." β
Zhao Che sat on the horse, slowly narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You know that you should die, why did you come to see me?" With that, he turned and walked along the Qianxi Wai Road, leaving only a few young guards with earthy faces kneeling in the wind and snow.
The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, the wind was raging, and Zhao Che and the others wore cloaks and hoods, and hurriedly walked between the red walls.
"Who?" The guard suddenly snorted.
The figure walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and under the cover of the huge wind and snow, only a shadow could be seen dimly. The man was not tall and very thin, but he was very smart, and he quickly knelt on the ground at the first time he heard the voice, and hung his head humbly.
"Your Highness, it should be the palace maid of the apse."
Zhao Che glanced at it quietly, and the war knife on his waist was instantly swung out, and the hood on the man's head was lifted in one fell swoop, and his short hair was curled into a men's bun, but his neck was white and slender. Zhao Che's boots stepped on her hat, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "Raise your head." β
A delicate face came into view, the eyes were calm, and the eyes were extremely dark, although they were dressed in men's clothes, they were also rare and stunning. Zhao Che's brows furrowed slightly, and then slowly stretched out, as if he remembered something, and sneered meaningfully: "One person has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, now even you can walk freely in the Shengjin Palace?" β
Chu Qiao lowered his head, his face was calm, and he didn't reply.
Zhao Che's eyes swept over the girl's back lightly, and then with a pop, he kicked the hat back to Chu Qiao's side, and turned away without saying a word.
The wind and snow were still blowing, and the girl looked up, but only saw a faint shadow. But for some reason, she felt such a heavy pressure on her face. In today's snowstorm, how could the person who returned to the imperial capital be the person in front of him?
The situation in Zhenhuang has become more and more tense unconsciously. Although it is still half a year away from the day of Yan Xun's return to the north.
That night, in the Shengjin Palace, a grand dinner was held, attended by Zhao Che, the seventh prince who returned to the dynasty in triumph, and Zhuge Yue, the fourth son of Zhuge who went to Wolong Mountain seven years ago to recuperate. Now, he is the deputy commander of the Military Aircraft Department.
Emperor Zhao Zhengde of Great Xia still habitually did not attend various banquets, only Empress Muhe Nayun symbolically showed her face, after all, the seventh prince Zhao Che was her biological son. The banquet was full of joy and happiness, full of peaceful monarchs and ministers, and it was impossible to see that just three days ago, Zhao Jue, the eighth prince, was expelled from the Zhao family temple because of his wrath, demoted to a concubine, and went to the Guozong Mansion for trial.
"Those things are like stones in a lake many times, not everyone can see its size and shape, only those who dare to go in and feel it, but how deep the water is, whether it can come out alive, it is difficult to say."
Just look at the refreshing one
