Lin Qingyu took Chu Xi and hurriedly went outside the palace, and Lu Tan probably knew what was going on without asking.

When he hurriedly returned to the palace and wanted to find Lin Fu, Lin Fu had already left.

"Princess, the emperor invites you over." A palace maid came to report.

When Lu Tan heard this, his heart sank a little, and he turned his head to look at the one-person-high bronze mirror standing on the side, he was dressed luxuriously in the mirror, and the Zhu Hai jewelry on his head may have never been seen in Xiao Fu'er, who was a maid together at that time, but now she hopes to return to the time when she was still a little girl by Chu Xi's side, she is free and chic, and there is no family and country.

"I see." She muffled in response, turned her head and walked away.

What my father wants to talk to her about harmony is a matter of harmony.

Outside the palace, Lin Qingyu and his entourage had just left the palace, and there was a carriage waiting early, and the carriage did not stop at all, and went straight out of the city.

The emperor was still in the pavilion, constantly thinking, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't just let Lin Qingyu go: "Come on!" Stop Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi for me immediately! ”

"Returning to the emperor" someone came to report, but he was panicked: "They have already left the city, it seems that it has been arranged a long time ago, and someone outside the city has answered early, and our people have been stopped if they want to keep up." ”

"What" The emperor thought that they thought they were safe, at least they would relax and go back to pack their things first, but they didn't think that they had come in early in the morning, even if they had reached this point. This Lin Qingyu is really a person who can't be let go, if he really goes to help Zhao Xuanyi, the survival of Southern Xinjiang is in danger: "What about Zhao Xunyan?" I had already let you lay a trap outside the palace, and there was no way he could escape. ”

The man's face became even more nervous, and he knelt directly on the ground and said, "Before we made a move, another group of people came out and wanted to take Zhao Xunyan away, and when we were fighting with him, Zhao Xunyan took advantage of the chaos and fled." ”

"You" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, don't chase me yet." Once I see Zhao Xunyan, I don't want to live anymore, just kill him for me! ”

"But in that case, Lord Regent"

"That's better than Lin Qingyu catching him." The emperor said in a cold voice.

The queen stood aside, looked at the emperor's angry appearance, took two steps forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubines believe in the regent and them."

Before the empress finished speaking, the emperor turned his head and glared angrily, and then looked at the consternation and disbelief in her eyes, so he hurriedly withdrew his eyes, but as soon as he spoke, his tone was a lot colder: "You have been in the harem all the year round and don't understand these things, I don't blame you, but in the future, you don't interfere anymore." ”

The queen's eyes were filled with tears, but she stood straight to one side, lowered her head and saluted respectfully: "The concubine receives the order." ”

"You!" When the emperor saw that she was angry, he was even more angry but even more helpless, and it happened that Lu Tan also came at this time.

"Erchen has seen his father."

The emperor turned his head to look at her, looked at her with a detached look, and sighed deeply: "Tan'er, my father is also thinking about the safety of the people."

"Father doesn't need to explain too much, Tan'er understands." Lu Tan choked slightly, but he held back his tears and didn't let the tears fall.

Seeing this, the emperor took two steps forward to help her up, looked at his daughter who had always been a treasure of his heart, and said, "It's good that Tan'er understands her father's intentions, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you this time." ”

"Father doesn't have to mind." Lu Tan raised his head to look at him, and reluctantly smiled: "Tan'er is a princess, supported by the people, and should do things for the people." When to get married? ”

Seeing her so sensible, the emperor felt more and more sorry, but for the sake of the 50,000 elite soldiers, he had to say: "Three days later." ”

"Okay."

The queen stood aside, tears unstoppable. The most favored princess, who has been clothed and fed since she was a child, is now in such a hurry to send her relatives, or marry into a barren place such as Fanbang, and I heard that the king of Fanbang is also a reckless man

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked back at the empress, and walked away.

The queen stepped forward and hugged Lu Tan: "My good boy." ”

The "queen mother" Tan'er doesn't want to marry Fanbang, she doesn't want to be married, Tan'er wants to marry her beloved.

She had thousands of pleading words in her heart, but she didn't say them, and now at a time like this, she understands better what responsibility is.

After leaving the city, Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi were not in a hurry to cross the river, once the emperor of southern Xinjiang reacted, he would not let them go so easily, so they stopped in a small town on the border first, and once Zhao Ke retreated, the emperor would inevitably think that they had fled, so he would let down his guard, and it would be more secure to go again.

On the second floor of the inn, there are usually no guests here, so Mei Niang simply chartered the entire second floor.

Chu Yi was still waiting for Yan Yi to come back, but Yan Yi didn't come for a long time, so she didn't know if she had caught Zhao Xunyan or not.

Lin Qingyu saw her standing in front of the window and walking around. stepped forward and took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

"But just in case"

"If he escapes, we will go to him again, and we will not be able to die for a while." Lin Qingyu smiled.

When Chu Xi heard this, he took the initiative to hug him: "Zhao Xunyan's life is not long in coming, and the emperor of Southern Xinjiang will definitely look for him everywhere, how can I not worry." ”

Lin Qingyu stroked her long hair that fell behind her, and after a while, she said: "Don't worry, since Zhao Xunyan has already prepared a plan to escape, he will definitely not be caught back so easily, we just need to find him before the emperor catches him." ”

Chu Ji knew that he was comforting himself, but his heart just couldn't settle down. Zhao Xunyan's previous intention to take revenge on herself and Lin Qingyu was too strong, and she was really worried that this madman would do irreparable things one day.

Yan Yi came back early the next morning, with injuries on his body and worry in his eyes.

Chu Xi had just eaten breakfast, and when she saw him like this, she hurriedly asked someone to get the medicine.

"Didn't catch it?" Chu Xi asked.

Yan Yi nodded guiltily: "He's too cunning." ”

Chu Xi bowed her head slightly and gave him the medicine: "Take some medicine first." ”

After Yan Yi took it, he became more and more guilty: "When we came out, the emperor seemed to have given an order, see Zhao Xunyan, don't live." Kill directly. ”

"He really didn't plan to let us go." Chu Xi frowned slightly, looked back at Lin Qingyu, but Lin Qingyu smiled as if he didn't care: "I can't catch it for a while, don't worry, you continue to look for it, he shouldn't be out of the city yet." ”

Seeing his free and easy attitude, Chu Xi was a little angry, it was his life after all!

"How do you"

Before Chu Xi got angry, Lin Qingyu got up and walked over, raised his hand to hold her and approached intimately: "Don't be angry, we still have big things to do, such a small matter, just let Yan Yi stay and deal with it." ”

Chu Xi was so angry that tears came out: "What if"

"There won't be a chance, I swear." Lin Qingyu said firmly.

Chu Xi knew that he was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, so he took it out and gave it to Yan Yi: "Find Wuji people to help, be sure to catch Zhao Xunyan, if he dies, he must bring the Gu worm back!" ”

Yan bowed his head, took it and retreated.

Only then did Chu Ji grab Lin Qingyu: "Then we are ready to go back." ”

"Okay." Lin Qingyu smiled, looked at Chu Xi's angry appearance, raised his hand to hold her face, and gave her the deepest kiss.

Mei Niang prepared the clothes of ordinary southern Xinjiang people, chartered a private boat and set off, but Lin Fu looked sad along the way, as if he had started from leaving the palace. I started to lose my soul.

The chartered boat was a canopy boat, Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu sat in the canopy, Lin Fu stood alone in the stern, his face was cold, and his whole body exuded the aura of not approaching people.

Chu Ji looked at his back and said, "What should Lin Fu do?" ”

"When he thinks it through, he'll know what to do." Lin Qingyu laughed, poured a cup of tea that had just been brewed and gave it to Chu Xi: "I have already sent a message to his parents for him to fly pigeons, but now that the king of Southern Xinjiang is bent on borrowing troops, I am afraid that this letter will not have much effect." Lu Tan is bent on helping his father and the people of southern Xinjiang, and it must be impossible between them. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xi began to be curious about Lin Fu's life experience: "I remember you said that Lin Fu is similar to Lu Tan's identity."

"That's right." Lin Qingyu bent his eyes, and Mei Niang, who was helping to fiddle with the tea set, also laughed: "But the difference between Lin Fu and Lu Tan is that although Lin Fu has a noble status, he can't leave that island." ”

"Island?" Chu Xi suddenly remembered Mrs. Hou's travelogue before: "Are you talking about the Lituo Island that is like a paradise?" ”

"That's right." Mei Niang suddenly laughed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but start laughing when she laughed.

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lin Qingyu, who was also smiling, and her eyes were curled more and more: "I heard that Lituo Island is rich in elixir. And it is surrounded by reefs and dangerous islands, easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless someone takes it to enter safely, such a small island, two years of income can cover our treasury tax for a whole year, why do you laugh like this? "Although it is not as good as southern Xinjiang. But it's not so funny.

Mei Niang laughed enough, took a sip of tea, and then said: "We laugh, that's because of the clothes on the road, if you let Lu Tan know, it's one thing whether you want to marry or not." ”

Chu Xi became more and more curious, there was no costume for Lituo Island in the original travel book, but there was indeed a page that seemed to have been torn off.

"Wear skirts and dresses, especially for the royal family, including men." Lin Qingyu finally said it, Chu Xi went to see Lin Fu standing in the stern of the boat at this time, and he was so happy that he couldn't imagine Lin Fu wearing a skirt.

But jokes aside, the biggest reason why Lin Fu can't marry Lu Tan is that the total population of Lituo Island is less than 50,000, let alone lending 50,000 elite soldiers, most of the people on the island are leisurely and away from strife, and no one wants to get involved in the previous struggle of these countries on land, even if Lu Tan is willing to marry, but if the king of Southern Xinjiang still has half a plundering mind, Lin Fu's parents may not be willing to marry.

"So that's why he's struggling." Chu Ji said.

Lin Qingyu bowed: "But he has more ideas than others since he was a child, and he knows better what he wants to do, you don't have to worry." ”

After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, Lin Fu really came in, saw the three of them smiling, frowned, and said, "Master"

"Huh?"

Lin Fu paused before saying, "I want to go back." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Southern Xinjiang."

The boatman was fortunate enough to see what is called a phenomenal light skill, Lin Fu was also ruthless, Lin Qingyu didn't let him go, he just wanted to go, even if there was no boat.

The boatman was surprised: "Little brother is stable!" ”

Lin Fu felt the hunting wind on the river, but before he reached the shore, the internal force finally couldn't support the soaking in the water, so the boatman was fortunate to see his graceful posture swimming in the water.

Chu Xi also walked out, stood with Lin Qingyu and watched him leave: "Why stop him?" ”

"The more he resists, the more he can accomplish." After more than ten years of getting along, he really knows Lin Fu too well.

Mei Niang also came out, watching Lin Fu easily swim ashore and wave his hand at them, then smiled: "I just don't know what will happen to him, the master should be able to guess it." ”

Lin Qingyu laughed: "Maybe he will escort Lu Tan to marry to Fanbang." ”

"It seems to be worse"

Mei Niang shook her head slightly, whether the three of them were just smiling, or did they really hope that he and Lu Tan would not regret it in the future.

When the boat arrived at the riverside, it saw General Yang in disguise, who prepared a carriage and did not escort them to see Zhao Ke, but sent them all the way to a safe place.

"Where are you going next?" General Yang asked.

"Back to Beijing."

"Back to Beijing?" The old general was surprised: "Aren't you going to meet Mrs. Hou?" ”

"My father has led the army for decades, and I'm afraid I don't need to go to Banmen to get an axe. Now that I'm going back to Beijing with my sister-in-law, I have to bring the others out first. Lin Qingfool smiled, looked at the few people behind General Yang, and said, "And Prince Yu should be able to understand." ”

The men hurriedly lowered their heads.

Old General Yang glanced back and didn't say anything, only looked at Chu Ji worriedly: "Xi'er, you have suffered so much, it is your grandfather who is sorry for you, if it was at the beginning"

"Grandfather, don't blame you for this. You were also deceived at the beginning, who was born to see through the false mask of others and see his true face? Chu Xi comforted, the past is in the past, and people are animals that are easily restrained by emotions, without a pair of fiery eyes, it is too simple to be blinded.

Hearing Chu Xi's comfort, Old General Yang just sighed.

Lin Qingyu took Chu Xi's hand and looked at the old general with a smile: "Don't worry, the next sister-in-law will never make any more mistakes, and I won't let her suffer a little more." ”

"Thank you very much, then"

"What is my grandfather doing with me so politely, it is my job to take care of my sister-in-law." Lin Qingyu smiled.

Old General Yang hadn't reacted to the sound of 'grandfather' in his mouth, and looked at Chu Xi's slightly red face. Haha laughed: "Yes, I am relieved that I have you by my side." ”

Lin Qingyu smiled with crooked eyebrows, just like when Chu Xi first saw him, he looked gentle and learned, and he was a beautiful son.

"By the way, the prince also said that the emperor has not ordered an attack on southern Xinjiang for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be other changes in the capital, so if you want to go back this time, you must be extra careful." Old General Yang still admonished.

Chu Xi looked at him like this, with a lot of emotion in her heart, and nodded: "You also have to take care of your body." ”

The old general bowed his head, and after a few people said goodbye, Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi got into the carriage and headed towards the capital.

In the more than a month since Chu Ji and the others left the capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that the capital has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Everyone in the capital was vigilant, the prosperity of the new emperor's accession to the throne did not appear, and the people were complaining, but the most disgruntled people had been caught in the prison and secretly executed, and the rest did not dare to speak out.

At the beginning, Pei County dug up a fierce stone and was turned out again, and the first emperor's plan to sacrifice to the sky was also turned out, and the most disputed in the court was whether to sacrifice to the sky.

Zhao Xuanyi sat on the dragon chair, looking at the people arguing in the hall, his face was slightly gloomy.

"That's it!"

Hearing his voice, everyone was immediately silent, but Ma Yushi still refused to stop: "Your Majesty, sacrificing to heaven is a ceremony that has long been abolished, and it can't be started again!" ”

"What do you mean by this?" A person next to him said: "The first emperor had the idea of sacrificing to the sky, but it has not yet been completed, and now the folk cholera continues, and the people are panicking. ”

Ma Yushi looked at him and said indignantly: "What you need to sacrifice to the sky is a noble girl, what, is Lord Liu planning to let his daughter come out to worship the sky!" ”

Lord Liu, who spoke, immediately turned white: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I am a second-class member, and my daughter is stubborn, how can I be called a 'noble girl'? I look at the little granddaughter of Ma Yushi's family, Ma Yushi is an old minister of the two dynasties, and was promoted to a special first-class member by the emperor, your granddaughter is a well-deserved noblewoman! ”

"You villain!" Ma Yushi was annoyed, and then hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi: "Your Majesty, you need to burn the noble girl alive to worship the sky, where is this sacrifice to the sky, this is a cruel and inhumane tyrant's trip."

"That's it!" Zhao Xuanyi originally rubbed his eyebrows and listened to them, but now when he heard the word 'tyrant', his face sank suddenly.

Li Xiao stood aside and bowed his head and didn't speak, because all heroes such as the Marquis of Anping and the regent were all driven out of the capital, so many people rumored that the emperor was a tyrant, and the last thing he wanted to hear now was these two words, and they repeatedly said here that it was strange that the emperor was not angry.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at Ma Yushi under the hall, and now there are not many old ministers left to really serve the people and the society, and he didn't plan to do anything about Ma Yushi: "Okay, Ma Aiqing, this matter will be discussed later." ”

"Emperor" Ma Yushi still wanted to persuade him to give up, but Zhao Xuanyi was annoyed: "I said okay, don't mention this again, I will think about it carefully." ”

Ma Yushi was stunned, looking at his angry appearance, he wanted to speak but couldn't say a word.

"Zhong Aiqing, do you have anything else to do?" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

"Return to the Emperor"

A group of ministers began to talk about today's problems again, they knew that there were problems when they were princes in the past, but now they really know that they are tricky.

Zhao Xuanyi listened patiently one by one, and then said, "Let's come here first today, I'm tired." ”

"Your Majesty, there is also the matter of Prince Yu and General Yang, they are now on the border of southern Xinjiang with 100,000 elite soldiers, neither attacking nor withdrawing, such a waste of manpower and material resources" Ma Yushi was interrupted before he finished speaking: "That is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and when the people of southern Xinjiang know the consequences of fooling our dynasty, they will obediently become vassal states and pay tribute every year." The newly promoted general said.

Zhao Xuanyi scoffed at his words when he heard it, but anyway, he was promoted by himself.

"The affairs of southern Xinjiang are not urgent, and when I have dealt with the matter of the capital, I will give an order." After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he stood up straight. He didn't let Zhao Ke do it for a long time, because he hoped that Nanjiang couldn't help but make the first move, so that he would be famous in the fight, and as for what happened to Zhao Ke and General Yang at that time, the people would blame him, and they couldn't blame him.

"Retreat!" After shouting loudly on the side, Gonggong Gao stepped forward and walked to Li Xiao's side: "Lord Li, the emperor invites you to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to wait for the decree." ”

"Yes!" Li Xiao gave up his hand, Ma Yushi hurriedly came over when he heard this, and said bitterly: "Lord Li, you must persuade the emperor, the matter of sacrificing to the sky really can't be done!" ”

Li Xiao glanced at him lightly, and then left.

Seeing that everyone didn't take Ma Yushi seriously, Master Liu, who was talented, also walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Ma, you said that you are old, and the emperor is young and vigorous, why can't you let him a little." ”

"The emperor is young, but Jiangshan Sheji doesn't care about his young age!" Ma Yushi was so angry that his old eyes were slightly red.

That Lord Liu glanced at him and laughed sarcastically: "This is the Jinluan Palace, you can be careful when you speak, you were turned back and provoked Long Yan and was beheaded."

"You" Ma Yushi looked at the crowd of people standing around and watching the excitement, and was so angry that he beat his heart: "Emperor Xian, open your eyes and see" Before he finished speaking, he fainted directly with anger, and the adults next to him were busy scattering birds and beasts, and only when the eunuchs saw it, they hurriedly let people carry them out.

Chu Ji changed into a men's dress, and before returning to the capital, she went to see Yun Songyi and Zheng Yun first.

They are already married and live in a small courtyard in the western suburbs, but there are people watching them all around, and it is impossible for them to leave the capital for half a step.

Seeing Chu Ji and a few people coming, Yun Songyi was frightened: "Have you been discovered?" ”

"Don't worry." Mei Niang came over and said, "I brought people away to get in." ”

Yun Songyi nodded at this time, and hurriedly pulled them into the house: "That's good, if you are discovered, you will really become a caged bird and be slaughtered." After that, I hurriedly went to find Xiao Fu'er and Aunt Fu, and when Xiao Fu'er saw Chu Xi, she cried with a wow, no matter how you coax it, you can't coax it.

"Miss, are you alright, the slave thought she would never see you again." Xiao Fu'er wiped her tears and sobbed, Aunt Fu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and also walked over and said with a smile: "You girl, it's a good thing that Miss is back, how can you know how to cry every day." ”

Xiao Fu'er only hiccuped and couldn't stop crying: "The slave is too worried about Miss." ”

"Alright, let's go clean up the room." Yun Songyi said busily.

Chu Xi looked at her from the side, pulled up the woman's bun, and the person was also a lot more profitable. swept around the house, as if there was no one in the house, and even the work of making tea was done by Yun Songyi himself.

As if sensing Chu Xi's doubts, Yun Songyi brought the tea before saying, "We just called someone to come, and we watched us all day long, so it's better not to, so that we don't have a clean all day long." ”

She sat down on the side, and Lin Qingyu asked, "What about Zheng Yun?" ”

"He's gone to see Yang Gongzi."

"Yang Ci?"

"Hmm." Yun Songyi looked at Chu Xi, and her words were a little slurred.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xi knew that there was a problem at a glance, the last time he left, Yang Ci broke a hand, I don't know if there was poisoning, now there are only him and Yang Ying left in the Yang Mansion, and there is also Yang Qianxiu, the Yang family is not glorious, I don't know how many bullies come to the door.

Yun Songyi looked at her, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Sister Ji'er, do you still remember Yunkang?" ”

"Yes." The little son of the Yun family, who had been with Jiao Simiao all day before, and then fell into a coma, and when he woke up again, it was around Yun Songyue: "But what does Yunkang have to do with Yang Ci?" ”

"Yunkang is now in the Wang family, and the young lady of the Wang family is in love with Yang Ci. The Wang family has little power in Beijing, but large and small merchants have a very good relationship with them, since Yunkang became rich, this Miss Wang has been with him, instigating these people to chew their tongues when they have nothing to do, and the Yang family has raised the price several times when they go to buy things. Now the Yang family is not rich, I heard that in order to save Yang Ci, Yang Ying took a lot of his jewelry, and the adults who had dealings with the Yang Mansion before his life were still invisible, especially that Jing Zhaoyin "Yun Songyi was so angry: "I also went to look for Yunkang, but what he meant was that he deliberately retaliated, and he would step on whoever he saw was low." I argued with him but beat him, and Zheng Yun is afraid that he is still arguing with them at this time. ”

"This Wang family is so rampant?" Lin Qingyu was a little unconvinced.

"Because the Wang family still has an ambiguous relationship with the current Lord Li." Yun Songyi still said it in the end.

Who this Master Li is Chu Ji doesn't need to think about it, but Li Xiao can't mix with merchants all day long and do these things. I'm afraid that I have suffered for half my life, and once I gained power, Mrs. Li quickly cocked her tail.

"Do you know about the green shoots?" Chu Xi asked again.

Speaking of green shoots, Yun Songyi sighed again.

"Since you left, the green sprouts have no support, I went to look for her, and Mrs. Li didn't take me, the little county lord, in her eyes, but I heard that the child seemed to be gone, and the little lady of the Dongjun Wangfu also passed the door, and the rest is unknown."

Chu Ji and Lin Qingyu glanced at each other, but Lin Qingyu just raised his hand and grabbed her: "It is difficult for a Qingguan to cut off family affairs, she is willing to do it herself, and it is useless for you to think that it is arsenic." ”

Chu Xi didn't know this truth: "I understand." ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingyu bowed slightly, turned his head and the wing room was ready, and Zheng Yun also returned.

As soon as he saw Lin Qingyu and the others, Zheng Yun immediately stepped forward excitedly, Chu Xi looked at him, and his beard was also shaved, revealing a face with clear facial features, although it was less powerful than before, it was a little more handsome, and it looked much more comfortable.

Chu Xi saw that there was blood on his fingers, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll go back to the wing room with Mei Niang first." ”

"Okay." Lin Qingyu bowed his head, and Zheng Yun hurriedly said, "Let's talk in the study." With that, he hurriedly took Lin Qingyu to the study.

Back to the room. Xiao Fu'er began to chirp around Chu Xi again, and Mei Niang leaned on the soft couch next to her and said with a smile: "Madam, do you want us to teach Yunkang a lesson?" ”

"No, the root cause isn't here." Chu Xi slowly pushed open the window of the room, letting the wind outside blow in to dispel some of the stuffiness: "The Yang Mansion is weak, Yunkang is just the heart of a villain, and he can't do anything to others, so he uses the Yang Mansion to vent his anger and make a prestige." There are many people who think the same way as him, and we have to teach them one lesson at a time, and sooner or later they will be exposed. The top priority is to let the Yang family leave the capital temporarily. ”

"Leaving the capital?" Xiao Fu'er was puzzled: "The Yang family's mansions are all in the capital, how can they leave?" The slave maid thought that when General Yang came back, they would not dare to make a mistake, and General Yang would definitely teach them a good lesson! Xiao Fu'er felt happy when she thought about it.

Chu Xi flicked her forehead with her fingers: "The premise of our assumption is that the old general will not come back for the time being. "If it is really according to Lin Qingyu's plan, the army will overwhelm the border, and the people in the city who are related to him and himself will be in danger, so we must take all of them out before the army comes.

"The old general won't come back?" Xiao Fu'er was puzzled, but Mei Niang changed her lazy appearance and sat up straight: "I'll arrange it." ”

"You can't take them with you, I'll see them tonight." Chu Ji said. Yang Qianxiu is a weak character. But Yang Ci is a stubborn donkey character, the old general has not returned, and he will never agree to ask them to leave for no reason.

At this end, Zheng Yun was still talking to Lin Qingyu about Yunkang today: "This bastard, I broke one of his legs, master, I think he still dares to make a bad day!" actually made a move with Yi'er, but fortunately, Yi'er didn't suffer, otherwise I would have hacked him to death. ”

Lin Qing foolishly glanced at him: "She also heard you say these foul words all day long?" ”

Zheng Yun suddenly became shy, scratched her head and smiled: "She has a mouse as a pet, I don't dare to make a mistake in front of her." ”

Lin Qingyu smiled and shook his head: "Let's talk about the Zheng family." "When I took myself to Wuji with Mingyue, there was no news.

When Zheng Yun heard the Zheng family, he didn't know what to say, so he sat down in embarrassment, picked up the tea and poured it.

"That's tea, not wine, let's take our time." Lin Qingyu sat down in front of the bookcase, looked at the 'review book' on the bookcase, and silently put it away for him, and then sat down.

"They still want me to go home and inherit the mantle of the Zheng family, but you also know that I am not the material to cure the sick and save people at all, let me take the silver needle. It's better to have a knife and a gun. Zheng Yun was very distressed: "And after they knew that I got married without permission, they were so angry that they wanted to arrest me back, because last time they helped Mingyue kidnap you, I lost my temper and they only allowed me for a few months, and I am also thinking about what to do now." ”

"The Zheng family lives in the border canyon and is known as the three thousand 'poisonous hands', and ruling these three thousand people is stronger than the thousands of soldiers under your command." Lin Qingyu continued.

Zheng Yun waved his hand: "I don't care to use such a method as poisoning, but I still fight with real knives and real guns." ”

"That's the case" Lin Qingyu bent his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Then do me a favor." ”

"Say it." Zheng Yun said busily, and then remembered what he had just said about the Zheng family, and blinked suspiciously: "You don't plan to let me go back to the Zheng family." ”

"Smart, Zheng Yun, after you got married, you understand me a lot better than before." Lin Qingyu's eyes narrowed his fox eyes: "I need you to go to the Zheng family and bring those three thousand people out." ”

"But although those 3,000 people are useful, they can't resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court!" Zheng Yun still didn't understand what Lin Qingyu was going to do, but Lin Qingyu just smiled and said: "I don't want you to come over, you just go and harass the people in Fanbang for me, by the way, you have to disguise yourself as a person from southern Xinjiang." ”

Zheng Yun looked at him suspiciously: "What good will it do you to provoke enmity between Southern Xinjiang and Fanbang." ”

"Of course, there are benefits, in this case, Prince Yu will be in a position where he can attack and retreat, if he misses southern Xinjiang. If you can't resist the elite soldiers and horses of Fanbang, follow me for help, and you will have made a great contribution at that time. Lin Qingyu smiled.

Zheng Yun looked at his smile, goosebumps all over his body, he likes to laugh like this when he calculates people, and it makes people feel creepy.

Zheng Yun looked at him suspiciously: "Are you serious? ”

"Of course it's true." Lin Qingyu nodded.

Zheng Yun blinked and thought for a while: "It's not impossible, it's just that when I leave, I have to take Yi'er and them with me, and we are leaving, what can you do." ”

"Easy to do." Lin Qingyu got up and walked in front of him: "I don't want you to leave now, you can leave later, as long as you are willing to promise me to go back." ”

Get back? The point is still going back?

Zheng Yun nodded stunned, always feeling that he seemed to have gotten into the sleeve, and pulled Lin Qingyu's sleeve: "You shouldn't cheat me." ”

"No, naturally not, I treat you as a brother now!" Lin Qingyu's smile did not decrease, Zheng Yun felt more and more panicked, and wanted to say that Lin Qingyu had already left.

When he went out, Lin Qingyu met a man with a black coat and a black hat around the corner.

"Okay?"

"That's it."

"Okay, I'll bring Zhao Xunyan to you." With that, he turned around and left.

The Zheng family's poison skills are unmatched, and the dragon has never seen the end of the dragon, and there must be a lot of spies in southern Xinjiang, it may be difficult to find a Zhao Xunyan and bring it out to Yan Yi, and it is much easier for them.

Lin Qingyu looked back at Zheng Yun with a slightly gloomy face, and laughed: "That is your home, with your parents and brothers, you will have to go back sooner or later, including Miss Yun, she can't get married, and she will never see her in-laws, right?" ”

Zheng Yun frowned, thinking about it and feeling reasonable, although he seemed to have been sold by Lin Qingyu.

"And." Lin Qingyu simply turned around and walked over, Zheng Yun subconsciously took two steps back, Lin Qingyu saw this, and shook his head with a helpless smile: "The poison on my body has been resolved, and my grievances with the Zheng family are over, do you think you don't need to feel indebted to me anymore." ”

Zheng Yun was slightly stunned, looking at Lin Qingyu's calm appearance, a big man instantly turned red: "Qingyu"

"Do me one more thing"

Zheng Yun was moved and hurriedly braked: "No"

"A small thing"

In the evening, Zheng Yun realized how small Lin Qingyu's little things were.

Scold in front of the palace gate!! This is a capital offense!!

Zheng Yun poured a pot of wine and stubbornly said: "You all get out of the way for me, I want to see the emperor!" ”

The guard in front of the palace gate glanced at him: "The emperor can see him if you want to, and don't let it go, otherwise he will turn around and pull you to play the board!" ”

Zheng Yun's buttocks seemed to hurt, and he hurriedly said with the strength of the wine: "You let the emperor tell me why he sent Prince Yu to die." He's never been to a fight, he's a good brother to me! ”

The two guards didn't know how he got involved with Prince Yu, so they just glanced at him coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Zheng Yun scolded again and again, and when they finally wanted to drag themselves to play the board, they ran away.

He just left, and Li Xiao, who had just gotten into the carriage and had not yet left, lowered the curtain and said coldly: "Go home." ”

Zheng Yun hid in the dark alley and watched Li Xiao's carriage leave, only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief. But now that he wants to build momentum for Prince Yu, is Prince Yu planning to make trouble?

Lin Qingyu didn't tell him, and he didn't dare to speculate. These royal things have always been complicated, if it weren't for Lin Qingyu, he was afraid that he would not have been the general of this Lao Shizi at all, and it would be better to be the hero of the rivers and lakes to be happy and revengeful.

Seeing that the carriage had completely left, he left.

When Li Xiao returned to the mansion, a group of new ministers and old ministers were already waiting, and as soon as he came, he surrounded him again and again.

"Lord Li, what did the emperor say?"

They all remember the things about the noble daughter, and no one wants their good daughter to be burned alive.

Li Xiao glanced at them, went directly to the study, and waited for the study to sit down before arching his hand to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's not discuss the matter of sacrificing to the heavens for the time being, but there is another thing at the moment, I am afraid that everyone will have to help with it tomorrow." ”

"Lord Lee, please say," everyone said.

Li Xiao remembered what Zheng Yun said today, and said: "Now Prince Yu and General Yang are both on the border of southern Xinjiang, with 100,000 troops in their hands, everyone has thought about it, in case this Prince Yu has the intention of rebellion."

Everyone hurriedly gasped and waved their hands: "It's impossible, Prince Yu was only named the prince, and his mother's family is just an ordinary family, and his mother died early, and he has no power in the court, how can he rebel like this." Even if you grab that position, it's not right. ”

"I think so too, but" Li Xiao looked at everyone: "Have you ever thought that the emperor's holy name is damaged now, if something happens in southern Xinjiang at this time, plus the restless ministers in the court, I'm afraid it's not impossible, since we are leading the emperor's fortune, we are taking precautions and sharing worries for the emperor." As you said, Prince Yu has nothing to worry about in the capital, and if he wants to rebel, he will only die himself. ”

"So"

"Therefore, let the emperor recall Prince Yu and leave the veteran General Yang, who has a lot of burdens and diehards, in southern Xinjiang." Li Xiao said coldly, looked at everyone, and his originally warm eyes were full of gloom at the moment: "Moreover, there are too many 100,000 troops, and the strength of the whole country in southern Xinjiang can't beat us, General Yang is so brave and good at fighting, I think 10,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough." ”

"Ten thousand?" There are many people who have been to the battlefield below, and 10,000 soldiers and horses deliberately stay on the southern border, but if they attack, it will be a dead end. And now General Yang is not as good as before, letting him stay in southern Xinjiang with 10,000 soldiers and horses is tantamount to death: "Master Li" Someone wanted to talk to him, but listened to Li Xiao: "What's wrong? Ten thousand is too much? ”

"No, no" Seeing Li Xiao's attitude, he didn't dare to say more.

Li Xiao looked at everyone and said, "I wonder if your colleagues have other opinions?" ”

"No, no." Everyone shook their heads.

"That's good." Li Xiao looked at everyone lightly, and the arrogance in his eyes could not be concealed: "I will tell the emperor about the noble ladies you care about, if you must choose, you will not be selected on the heads of your lords, please rest assured." ”

"Thank you, then, sir." Everyone was busy laughing and bowing their heads, Li Xiao didn't want to say any more, raised his hand and everyone went out.

He turned his head to look at the fold to be written, and quickly wrote down Fang Cai's thoughts. How could he not know what kind of fate it would be for General Yang to leave only 10,000 troops, but he hated the Yang family. Especially Yang Ci. She is also her brother, but she has always been estranged from herself, but she sacrificed herself for Yang Ci, a person who had long broken off relations with her, and was abducted by Zhao Xunyan and her whereabouts are still unknown. For her, the Yang family is a burden that drags her back, and now the old and disabled remnants of the Yang family, it is useless to keep them, it is better to get out of the capital as soon as possible and go far away, so that when the concubine comes back, she will no longer have to be dragged down by them.

After a while, a maid came over from outside: "Childe, Madame asked you to go to the front hall for dinner." ”

"Hmm." Thinking of the newly married little lady Yuan Shan of the Dongjun Palace, everything is taken care of clearly, methodical, dignified and beautiful, she is raised in the nest of real wealth, and her mind is smart and exquisite, but somehow, she just lacks the feeling of her sister-in-law.

At the dinner table, Li Xiao didn't see Mrs. Li and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”

Yuan Shan chuckled: "The adults who came over just now gave a lot of gifts, and my mother is doing it." ”

When Li Xiao heard this, her arrogance was frustrated. They used to have too many hard days, and their mother always cared about these gold and silver, so that he couldn't raise his head in front of Yuan Shan.

After sitting down, he didn't see the green shoots, and asked, "Why didn't the green shoots come?" ”

"The husband forgot that the concubine does not eat at the same table as the main room, this is the rule set by the mother." Yuan Shan sat beside him and said with a dignified smile.

Li Xiao frowned slightly, remembering that the green sprouts had just given birth, but looking at the slight disdain in Yuan Shan's eyes, he didn't say anything more.

Zheng Yun went back and told all the news, Chu Xi laughed at herself with some sarcasm, but she didn't know the way to retreat at that time, and it became such a usage.

"If he can really transfer Prince Yu back to the capital, then his weight in front of the emperor is really not small." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Yun Songyi said while helping to bring the food up: "He just married the little lady of the Dongjun Palace, and his official position is constantly rising, and he is a unique honor in front of the emperor." She thought it was a little disdainful, when she first saw him, he talked to his grandfather about the country and the world, and his grandfather appreciated it, and now his grandfather taught him to get things, which he used to play with power.

"He still has some ability, in a short period of time, he has done a very good job of eliminating dissidents, and now there are few people in the DPRK who really dare to tell the truth." Zheng Yun poured wine for Lin Qingyu: "The first-class daughter Hong, dug up when Yi'er got married." ”

Yun Songyi sat on the side with a crimson face, and Mrs. Yun was also there, only smiling quietly and not making a sound, she was very satisfied with her current life.

Lin Qingyu also poured a glass for Chu Xi: "Drink a little." ”

"Courageous?" Chu Xiwan, everyone also laughed: "Be brave and work hard!" ”

At night, the capital is still in a state of high vigilance, Zhao Xuanyi has not slept all night since he ascended the throne, Zhao Yiheng and Zhao Xunyan rebelled one after another, so that he is still in a panic, and the only Jiang Fan and Lin Qingyu who can say a few words around him are scattered, so he has also laid a very tight defense in the capital, but anyone who sees a mask and a veil hat must check his identity.

Chu Xi changed into men's clothes, put on a mustache, and followed Lin Qingyu to look like a little scholar. As for Lin Qingyu, with eye-catching white hair, it is most suitable to dress up as a white-headed old man.

Zheng Yun and Yun Songyi were responsible for luring away the people who were staring outside the mansion for a while, and Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu were able to go out, but the two of them were also bold, and they swaggered onto the street and went to Yang's mansion.

The soldiers who rode horses back and forth made Chu Xi's heart sink more and more.

"How did he suddenly become like this?" She was still puzzled.

"Scared." Lin Qingyu glanced back at her, looked at her who was a head shorter than herself, and raised his hand to touch the back of her head: "He used to be a virtuous king, and he only did good things. But once you taste the evil thing, you will be out of control. The seeds of his suspicion about the Hou Mansion and me were planted as early as when we returned to Beijing, and the emperor wanted to make me a regent when he was dying, so he would naturally be suspicious. In the final analysis, it is one thing that drives one thing that has caused the current situation. ”

Chu Xi looked at his serious analysis, smiled, and arrived in front of the Yang Mansion in a short time.

Lin Qingyu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was Yang Ying herself who came to open the door, followed by two maid rings, carrying baskets as if she was going out to buy something.

"You are" Yang Ying looked at them, all of them were dressed in short brown cloth, one was slightly dragging his back, full of white hair, the other was with a mustache, and he was not tall.

"Our old friend Brother Yang, now that the family has not made it, I want to borrow some money from Brother Yang." Chu Xi said in a low voice.

Yang Ying's hand trembled slightly, looked left and right, held back his emotions, and said, "So that's the case." Then you guys come in first. Yang Ying stepped aside and looked at the surroundings without anyone coming, and then said to the maid behind her: "You go first to see what other vegetable stalls are confiscated, and buy some good ones to keep back." After that, she hurriedly followed them in and led them to Yang Ci's room, and when she got to the room, she dared to cover her mouth and cry in a low voice.

Chu Xi looked at Yang Ci who was lying on the bed expressionless, turned her head and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Ying hurriedly wiped away her tears: "He thought he had hurt you, so"

Chu Xi bowed her head, tore off her mustache and stepped forward: "Yang Ci? ”

Yang Ci's eyes moved when he heard Chu Xi's voice, and then he turned his head to look at her, and finally regained his look in his eyes: "Are you okay?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head, and Lin Qingyu also walked over: "Let's make a long story short, you, Yang Ying, and Yang Qianxiu, you must leave the capital as soon as possible." ”

"Leave?" Yang Ying also walked over.

Lin Qingyu bowed: "The news of our return from southern Xinjiang should soon reach the capital, and it will be too late for you to leave by then." ”

"Okay, let's go right away." Yang Ying nodded hurriedly, for fear of causing them trouble again.

"Don't be in such a hurry, if you leave the city immediately, it will also arouse suspicion." Chu Xi grabbed Yang Ying, who was anxiously trying to pack her luggage: "Grandmother has just passed away, and you have suffered so many disasters. In addition, the old general is still on the battlefield, if you say that you go out to sweep the grave of your grandmother and guard filial piety, you should be able to go out. ”

"So let's go out tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I will leave when the order of the imperial court comes down." Lin Qingyu said that once Li Xiao's excerpt emperor approved, it would be normal for the Yang family to go out and ask for the blessing of their ancestors: "Don't be in a hurry." ”

"Okay." Yang Ying was panicked and didn't know what to do, but Yang Ci calmed down, lifted her hand and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Yang Ying looked at his hand, her face turned red suddenly, tears overflowed in her eyes, but her lips were smiling.

Chu Xiwaner said with a smile: "Don't bring luggage and belongings when you leave tomorrow, just go out as usual, and someone will pick you up outside the city at that time." ”

"Okay." Yang Ying nodded.

Seeing that the explanation was clear, Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu didn't stay much, so as not to arouse suspicion, so they came out early, and when they came out, they didn't forget to weigh the silver in the bag.

"This little brother Yang is really generous." Chu Xi pretended to be happy.

Lin Qingyu looked at her naughty appearance from the side, felt the gaze behind her, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Have a meal without Jinghualou?" ”

"Okay, I want big fish and big meat."

"Yes"

The people who followed were suspicious, but they still didn't completely let down their guard, and let people follow: "Look where they went." ”

Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu went directly into the Jinghua Building, even though the situation in the capital was tense. But these gentlemen should still eat and play, without the slightest delay.

"Just sitting in the lobby?" Chu Ji looked at him.

Lin Qingyu bowed his head, naturally sitting in the lobby could hear the news the most, and he could also dispel the doubts of the people who followed him.

This bit of silver is enough for the two of them to eat, Chu Xi concentrated on eating, and did not have the slightest appearance of eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, just eavesdropping on this work and handing it over to Lin Qingyu.

The two of them ate until the door closed in the middle of the night, and the people in the lobby were almost going to Fireworks Willow Lane to have fun, and they went out, and the person who followed them had already gone back while they were slowly eating and drinking.

returned home, Mei Niang almost came back.

"Madame, I've found her." Mei Niang came over directly, saw Lin Qingyu's dress, and laughed out loud: "I haven't seen the master so ugly." ”

Lin Qingyu smiled and was not angry.

Chu Xi smiled: "What did she say? ”

"She is the spy placed in the capital by the king of Southern Xinjiang for decades." Mei Niang said: "But she did get married and have children here, so it's not difficult for her to help us." ”

"That's good." Chu Ji bowed her head, and the first thing she thought of when she returned to the capital was Aunt Hong, this woman who claimed to be from the Qinglou, just like Lang Yueqiu, there were secret passages dug everywhere underground, I really don't know why there is this hobby in southern Xinjiang.

"After the Yang family leaves the city tomorrow, she will find a way to create a riot in the capital, so that everyone's attention will not be on the Yang family." Mei Niang said.

Chu Ji bowed her head, and besides, Lin Qingyu just gently pinched her little ear: "It's not early, rest early, you have to be busy tomorrow." "As soon as the Yang family leaves, the emperor will inevitably notice that something has changed, so they are afraid that they will not be able to hide.

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Okay." "Sooner or later, she can't hide if she wants to.

The people beating the drums outside walked by, and the sound caused the dogs to bark incessantly. The people are all asleep, but there are still many people who are active at night in the capital.

The news of the eight-hundred-mile urgency was sent to Zhao Xuanyi's desk, and when he glanced at it, his face sank: "The king of Southern Xinjiang actually let them go so easily." ”

"Hearing the report of the spies, the king of Nanjiang mistakenly thought that Prince Yu's army drill was an attack, so he had to let them go." Someone came back and forth.

Zhao Xuanyi's face was slightly gloomy: "Since your news has arrived, then they should also arrive in the capital." But what do they come back for? ”

"I don't know, but some people saw that they were coming in the direction of the capital, and now they are not around the capital, I am afraid that they have already entered the city."

Zhao Xuanyi looked at the note in his hand, closed his eyes and thought slowly, and only slowly raised his eyes after a while: "Send twice as many people to watch Zheng Yun's family and the Yang family." But whoever meets them, whoever it is, will be arrested. ”

"Yes."

"And"

"Your Majesty, please command."

"Notify Jing Zhaoyin to check the population of the capital, but anyone who can't prove his identity will be arrested. Start with the Yang family and the Zheng family! ”

"Yes!"
