Now that the situation is urgent, if they still want to act together, they must wait for Lu Yingquan's situation to stabilize. But Lu Yingquan was pregnant, and even Yun Yao was not sure when she would be able to continue her journey.

However, whether it was the northern border or Yiguo, they couldn't afford to delay, so they didn't have time to spend it any longer.

Gu Qingming had obviously already considered this situation, and the idea of acting separately flashed in his mind more than once, but because of Lu Yingquan's identity, he didn't say anything.

Now that even Yun Yao has such an idea, it means that the matter has reached a level of urgency, and they can't afford to hesitate anymore.

So, after some discussion, Gu Qingming and Yun Yao formulated a method that seemed to be more stable and feasible, and this method must also be agreed by Lu Yingquan.

A little later, Lu Yingquan woke up, Yun Yao boiled the medicine to calm the fetus and gave her to drink as usual, and by the way, she also told Lu Yingquan about the results of her discussion with Gu Qingming.

"In the end, it's still my body that is useless, which drags down the trip. Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, and couldn't help but speak a little gloomily, "But if I want you to work hard for me, I always can't help it." ”

"Now that you're pregnant, you shouldn't be tired, and you don't have to blame yourself too much. Yun Yao comforted, "It is already imperative to find the Jade King to form an alliance, and we don't have a suitable candidate, so we can only go with me." No matter what, you have to trust me to entrust me with such an important matter. ”

"You are the most important person by my side, how can I not believe you?" Lu Yingquan chuckled, "Actually, that's fine, with General Gu's ability, it is more than enough for him to protect you alone, with your intelligence and his skills, I don't have to worry too much about going north this way." ”

After saying this, Lu Yingquan asked Sisi to bring over the burden she had put in the cabinet.

She took out a seal from her baggage, which was the phoenix seal that belonged to Queen Yi. It seems small, but it represents the identity and status of Queen Yi.

Lu Yingquan didn't hesitate, directly put the phoenix seal in Yun Yao's hand, and spoke again: "You can take this thing for the time being, when you get to the capital of the Jade Kingdom, you have to use it." Now that my body is not good, it is useless for the phoenix seal to remain on me. ”

Yun Yao felt the weight of her palm, and her heart was slightly shocked. She thanked Lu Yingquan for his unhesitating trust in her, and actually handed over such an important thing to her.

"Rest assured, I won't let you down. Yun Yao held the small phoenix seal tightly and promised, "I will definitely come back before the end of the year, and we will be able to return to Yiguo together at that time." ”

Lu Yingquan nodded and didn't speak, but the look in his eyes was self-evident, it was gratitude to Yun Yao, and a prayer to implore her to complete the alliance task.

Before leaving, Yun Yao made full preparations as usual, bought enough medicinal materials to make pills outside, and prescribed more than thirty prescriptions in one go, taking into account the problems that might arise during Lu Yingquan's pregnancy one by one, in order to facilitate Sisi's prescription.

Of course, Yun Yao would not be naïve to think that with these prescriptions, she could ensure that the child in Lu Yingquan's belly was safe, and she also focused on inquiring about the doctors in Dusk City who were skilled and had superb medical ethics, and told Sisi to go to these doctors if Lu Yingquan had any problems.

In Yun Yao's estimation, Lu Yingquan was just suffering from morning sickness caused by the discomfort caused by the water and soil, and there was nothing wrong with it, so it was enough to have these healers in Dusk City.

Sisi and Achen were naturally left in this mansion to take care of Lu Yingquan's living and protect her safety. And through Gu Qingming's mouth, Yun Yao also learned that in fact, they had secretly followed many people with strong martial arts along the way from Jingguo to Jade Kingdom, all of whom were sent by Meng Yijie to protect his sister.

Of course, Sisi is a person who values love and righteousness, and if there is any sudden situation, these people who are hidden in the dark must also be protected by Lu Yingquan.

After making all the preparations, Gu Qingming and Yun Yao left Dusk City and headed towards the capital of the Jade Kingdom further north.

They didn't ride in horse-drawn carriages anymore, and in order to save time, they switched to horseback riding. Since Yun Yao didn't know how to ride a horse, Gu Qingming rode with Yun Yao.

Gu Qingming went around Yun Yao's waist with one hand, grabbed the iron ring on the horse's back, held the horsewhip in the other, and walked away.

That's right, this is the plan that Yun Yao and Gu Qingming discussed, she and Gu Qingming will continue to go north, leaving Ah Chen and Sisi to protect Lu Yingquan in Dusk City.

After all, it is estimated that the situation in the north can only be alleviated by Gu Qingming, and the alliance that King Yi asked for has not yet been negotiated, and only the two of them go to the capital of the Jade Kingdom can solve the current predicament. What's more, the soldiers and horses in the southwest border also need to borrow the Jade Kingdom to go north to defend against Beidi, which also requires the consent of the Jade King.

When Yun Yao and the others left, Lu Yingquan supported his weak body and went to the gate of the courtyard to see them off.

She looked at the backs of the couple of men and women who had left the dust, and suddenly a trace of panic flashed in her heart, for no reason, but it made her heart a little blocked, but she couldn't say why.

And what she didn't see was that not long after Gu Qingming and Yun Yao left, there were many unfamiliar faces around the house where she lived, these people pretended to be ordinary people, and they were dressed like ordinary people, but when they looked closely, they saw that these people were stable and steady, and they knew that they were good at a glance.

This house has been targeted, but Lu Yingquan has never been as vigilant as Yun Yao, and she is pregnant, so she will inevitably be distracted, so she didn't notice it at all.

"Tell the Queen Mother that there is a major discovery. The man hiding in the shadows turned his head and commanded, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in his eyes.

In this world, the Queen Mother who can stretch her hand so long, except for the Empress Dowager Qin in Ning Palace, doesn't think about it. Although the order these people received at the beginning was to "kill without mercy", but now the identity of the woman in front of them, as well as her obviously bulging belly, made these people dare not act rashly, so they can only ask for their lives again.

However, fortunately, these people came a step too late, and they didn't notice the departure of Gu Qingming and Yun Yao, but just thought that there were only Lu Yingquan and a few subordinates living in this house.

A storm unfolded in the usually calm Jade Land, and spread rapidly with lightning speed.

Yun Yao sat on horseback, tightly held in her arms by Gu Qingming, and her entire slender body was almost surrounded by Gu Qingming's strong arms.

In October, the northwest region was as dry and windy as ever, and Yun Yao, who had never set foot in the north, was also a little uncomfortable during the journey. Gu Qingming was wearing a wide black cloak, wrapping Yun Yao's whole person inside, blocking the invasion of wind and sand.

Gu Qingming was used to long marches, but fortunately with him, Yun Yao didn't feel hard.

Although there was a task in his body, and he was in a hurry, this was the first time that Yun Yao traveled alone with Gu Qingming and the two of them, leaving aside the life and death of King Kong Mountain, the two of them had a smooth journey and did not encounter any emergencies.

Finally, after nine days of galloping on fast horses, the two entered the capital of the Jade Kingdom.

Looking at this feudal capital located in the northwest, it lacks the majestic atmosphere of Ning Palace and the delicacy and delicacy of Yiwang Palace, but it has the unique characteristics of the northwest region - tall, large and vast.

The Jade Country is vast and sparsely populated, and each city is built very widely, and the wide streets look orderly and comfortable. And because there are many deserts in the northwest of the Jade Kingdom, it will be attacked by wind and sand every year during the wind season, so the city is built relatively high, which can block some wind and sand attacks.

"It is said that His Royal Highness the Jade King is weak and sickly, and it is not appropriate to work too hard, but this Jade Country is well governed, even if the terrain and climatic conditions are not good, but the faces of the people are not a little miserable, but they are happy, which shows that His Royal Highness the Jade King has good means. Gu Qingming led the horse and walked on the street, looking at the people and shops on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but sigh.

"But how did I hear that His Royal Highness the Jade King is a person who ignores the government affairs, and all the government affairs of the Jade Kingdom are handled by the Jade Princess?" Yun Yao heard this, and remembered what the Empress Dowager Qin had said to her in the past, so she said.

"Yes or no, you will know after meeting His Royal Highness the Jade King. Gu Qingming smiled, "I always feel that not all women in this world are as smart and clever as you, if the Jade Princess is really as you said, acting for the Jade King to deal with the government, she is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows go." ”

The two talked while walking, and after a while, they came to the most prosperous area of the capital of the Jade Kingdom, found an inn with a relatively large number of customers to live in, and settled down since then.

Along the way, in order to protect Yun Yao's safety, the two of them were commensurate with husband and wife, eating and living together, especially when they arrived in the capital of the Jade Kingdom. The left and right have a skin-to-skin relationship, and it is a matter of time before they get married.

Gu Qingming handed over the horse to Xiao Er to feed, and the two went to the room to put down a few salutes, and then went downstairs to the lobby to eat.

Originally, for the sake of safety, it was more appropriate for the two of them to eat in the house, and they did the same along the way, but now that they have arrived in the capital of the Jade Kingdom, they can find out a lot more news than before, so they eat in the lobby.

Although there is no shortage of silver, two people don't need to order too much to eat, and the dishes are ordered quickly.

While waiting for the food to be served, the conversation of several people at the adjacent table attracted the attention of Yun Yao and Gu Qingming-

"Alas, have you heard, the Beidi people are not dead, and they are fighting against us again. One of the men lowered his voice and said, "Every autumn and winter, we do this in a vain attempt to rob our Central Plains of food. ”

"Who asked the imperial court to transfer the northern army away? Isn't this an opportunity for the Beidi people to take advantage of? Now the common people of our jade country are going to suffer again. The other man spoke.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi of Yiguo rebelled, and the imperial court had no choice but to transfer the northern army. ”

"What kind of rebellion? I heard that it was the king of Qinqin! Now that the queen mother is in control of the government and her relatives are in power, His Royal Highness King Yi has no choice but to rebel. Besides, His Royal Highness King Yi is his own people, and the Beidi people are outsiders, and this Queen Mother should not let outsiders bully the people of our Jade Country in order to beat her own people......"
