Early the next morning, Yun Yao got up from her sleep, and after washing up, she packed her things and prepared to go south.

Gu Qingming also got up very early, the two had breakfast together, and then said goodbye to General An and the others, which could be regarded as the end of their mission in Chicheng. Although there were accidents during the period, it did not affect the result, at least the Beidi army was blocked and did not dare to attack.

After many days, Yun Yao finally saw Qi Xia and Han Xiu again. The injuries left by the two of them when they fought with the snow wolf before were completely healed, but these days, they had been searching for Yun Yao's whereabouts in the Ghost Tooth Mountain and the Cold Valley day and night, and they had lost a lot of weight.

However, they didn't have any complaints about this, after all, the snow wolf was attracted by Zhao Zhong, and the avalanche was a natural disaster, so it didn't have much to do with Yun Yao. The two of them saw that Yun Yao and Gu Qingming were intact, and they finally let go of the hearts that had been hanging.

At the gate of the city, Gu Qingming and Yun Yao rode together, facing several generals in Chicheng, as well as familiar soldiers.

Gu Qingming arched his hand and said, "Everyone, please stay, although the danger of Chicheng is suspended, you can't take it lightly." From now on, this Akagi will bother you. ”

"General Gu, please rest assured, the last general and others will definitely defend Chicheng to the death. An Huai and the others also arched their hands and said.

The two sides said goodbye to each other, Gu Qingming immediately turned his horse's head, rode his horse in the direction of the South City Gate, went all the way south, and left Chicheng.

Although it was already February and the weather was not so cold, Yun Yao's body was thin and the horse speed was too fast, she still felt the cold wind blowing on her face, and it hurt for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Qingming had already prepared, although he didn't have the black mink cloak, but he specially asked General An to get another cloak before going to bed last night, which was not as thick as the previous one, but at least it could block a lot of wind and snow for Yun Yao.

The sound of horses' hooves clattering resounded on the official road, and before they had gone far, the sky was falling with pieces of snowflakes, the snow was not big, and the two of them walked in the snow, but they had a special interest.

Yun Yao thought to herself, if there were not so many worldly entanglements, she would go down the same road like this, she would be willing to go to the end of the world, as long as she was accompanied by Gu Qingming.

"Qingming, where are we going next?" Yun Yao raised her head in Gu Qingming's arms, her small face coming out of the gap in her cloak, looking very cute.

"Go to the capital. Gu Qingming subconsciously kissed Yun Yao on the face before speaking.

Yun Yao's face, which was originally blown white by the wind, turned bloody in an instant, and she shyly drilled into Qing Ming's arms, and only came out again after a while: "But I'm worried about Yingquan, last time I received a letter from Gu Chen, saying that she may have gone to Ruiguo, and I don't know how she is now." Calculate the time, she should also give birth, but at this time, there is no acquaintance by her side......"

"Are you really concerned about it?" How could you not understand such a simple truth?" Gu Qingming was a little helpless, "We are in the Beidi military camp and can't contact the outside world, but it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness King Yi can't receive news from Achen." In any case, more than two months are enough for His Royal Highness King Yiwang to send someone to turn over the inside and out of Ruiguo. If you can't find the queen in this way, where do you think the queen will be?"

"Rui Wang Palace!" Yun Yao blurted out with a flash of inspiration in her mind, "If you can't find it anywhere else, then the rest of the place is impossible, and it must be Yingquan's hiding place, unless she is no longer alive." But the importance of her and the child in her womb is self-evident, whether it is the Empress Dowager Qin or the King of Rui, they will not let her have anything to do!"

"A-Yao is really smart. Gu Qingming nodded, "So what we have to do now is to make peace with His Royal Highness King Yi, and it is true to cooperate with the emperor to take the capital as soon as possible." As for the queen's mother, there is Achen, as long as her hiding place is determined, she will definitely be safe. ”

Yun Yao nodded knowingly, and didn't ask anything more, because she believed in Gu Qingming's arrangement.

What's more, if she proposed to go to Ruiguo to find Lu Yingquan alone, Gu Qingming would definitely not agree, because the mountains and rivers were far away along the way, and there was no one around her to protect her, Gu Qingming would definitely not be at ease, so she could only go to the capital with Gu Qingming.

In addition, Yun Yao always had a feeling in her heart, she felt that with a temperament like Bo Erbing, if she was designed by the two of them like this, she would definitely not give up, and maybe something would happen to make trouble for them.

There is obviously a connection between Bol Bing and Qin Yuankai, and Qin Yuankai is now their opposite, if Bol Bing wants to do something, it is likely to use Qin Yuankai's hand......

For a while, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Yao's mind, and she habitually took into account many various situations that did not happen, so that at least when the matter came to an end, it would not seem too hasty.

Gu Qingming lowered his head, glanced at the person in his arms, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Yao seems to be particularly afraid of cold, it should be an old illness left in the Ning Palace in the past, first kneeling in the ice and snow for so long, and then being stripped naked and locked in a water prison for three days, causing her to be afraid of cold.

So now, she curled her whole body into his arms, and pulled the cloak tightly, her back pressed against his chest, revealing only a small gap between the two sides of the cloak for ventilation.

She seems to have not spoken for a long time, though, perhaps asleep.

Gu Qingming subconsciously slowed down his speed, so that Yun Yao could sleep more comfortably. Originally, Yun Yao hadn't fallen asleep yet, but this slow horse was shaky, and then he tilted his head and fell asleep completely.

The snow behind him left shallow horseshoe prints, and the white snowflakes fell on Gu Qingming's cloak, and then quickly disappeared.

Rao was cold and snowy outside, and it was extremely cold, but the two of them still felt warm.

After arriving in Yoijo, the two replenished some dry food and water, and continued on their way. Instead of returning to the capital of the Okok Kingdom the way they came, they headed straight east, intending to pass through the Okok to Seongguk and reach the western border of Gyeonggi.

This way went quite smoothly, because the combined forces of Yuguo and Jingguo had defeated Chengguo, so they could almost be regarded as unimpeded, and they came quickly, and the journey that originally took half a month was compressed into ten days by them.

After arriving at the destination, Gu Qingming met with the generals of the combined forces of Yu and Jing and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then continued to set off, descending from the northwest and arriving at the camp of the Yiguo army in the south of Gyeonggi.

Shen Che had just led his troops to capture a small county town in the south of Gyeonggi, and the county guards of several nearby counties were frightened and surrendered to Yiguo directly with the official seal. In other words, Shen Che effortlessly captured the power of a county and subdued three nearby county seats.

After a complete victory, when the class teacher returned to the camp, Shen Che heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Gu Qingming and Yun Yao had arrived, he couldn't take a break, and he was still wearing armor, so he went to see Gu Qingming.

"See Your Highness—" Gu Qingming saw Shen Che enter the tent, and immediately bowed his hand to worship.

"Hurry up, Qingming, you're back!" Shen Che said with emotion, "I just received a letter from you a few days ago, saying that I escaped from the Beidi camp and was on the way to the capital, but I didn't expect to arrive so soon!"

"Knowing that the situation on His Highness's side is urgent, Qing Ming does not dare to delay. Gu Qingming said.

In fact, after he and Yun Yao left Chicheng, they did pass on the news to Shen Che, saying that they had escaped from danger and were on their way to the capital, and they would arrive in a few days.

And because of the long distance, the letter was delivered slowly, so the letter arrived in Shen Che's hands four or five days earlier than them.

"Yun Yao greets His Highness. Yun Yao immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Yun Yao didn't take good care of the queen's mother, causing the mother to disappear, and she has not returned yet, please ask Your Highness to surrender." ”

"It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Shen Che didn't blame Yun Yao, "It's that the enemy is too cunning, even if you and Qing Ming were both at the time, in the face of so many dead soldiers, you may not be able to retreat with your whole body." What's more, this way from Yiguo to the north to Chicheng, you helped this king form an alliance along the way, and you contributed a lot, how can this king not distinguish between right and wrong?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. Yun Yao sighed and thanked her.

"You've had a hard time, so get some rest today. This king has just won a few county towns today, and there are still many things to deal with. Let's discuss the follow-up tomorrow. Shen Che patted Gu Qingming's shoulder and admonished.

After saying this, Shen Che turned around and left, and returned to his tent to deal with things.

Gu Qingming and Yun Yao's camp tents were next to each other, and the two camp tents were side by side, which was also more convenient for the two to communicate. They took a bath, washed away all the traces of the storm, sat down in a warm tent and had a good meal, and then rested.

Yun Yao could see that the battle on Shen Che's side was not very tense, because of the current situation, Ning Gong had almost become a trapped beast, so ordinary siege and defense of the city did not need someone like Gu Qingming to come out.

And the reason why Gu Qingming was in a hurry was because his opponent was Qin Yuankai.

There is also a Qin Yuankai in the camp of Ning Palace, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is also a good hand in marching and fighting, and he is a difficult character to deal with. If Qin Yuankai really wants to defend the capital, it will consume a lot of time and energy of the Yiguo army, and there will be countless casualties; if Qin Yuankai wants to take the risk of leading his troops to break through, it is not completely impossible.

Therefore, Gu Qingming came back to defend against Qin Yuankai, and in the face of a cunning person like Qin Yuankai, whether it was Dewey or Du Jiangheng, it was obviously not enough.

But...... How can we solve Qin Yuankai as soon as possible and attack the capital at the least cost?

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. Yiguo has always been in a passive state when facing Qin Yuankai, Qin Yuankai does not move, and Yiguo does not move, so why can't he take the initiative?

This night, Yun Yao thought a lot, she always felt that these things had dragged on long enough, and she didn't want to continue to waste time. There is only one step left before King Yi ascends the throne, and similarly, it is not far from her wishes.

Ning Gong, Empress Dowager Qin, Qin Yuankai.

These words flashed in her mind one by one, and Yun Yao seemed to have an idea in her heart.
