Early the next morning, the eunuch of the emperor's big tent came to deliver a message, telling everyone to pack up and prepare to leave the royal hunting area and return to Beijing. The Nine Kings stretched, yawned, and asked, "Why are you leaving so soon?" Have you figured out a way to go back to Beijing? ”。

The little eunuch who came to deliver the message smiled and said: "Lord, you ask this question, the slave really has to say hello to you, you really married a good princess who is extremely smart", he said, and stretched out his thumb, a good compliment.

The Nine Kings were slightly stunned and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

So, the little eunuch told Helian Yunxiu a suggestion on how to return to Beijing, which won the praise of the emperor and his ministers.

The Nine Kings asked extremely displeasedly, "After talking for a long time, what kind of advice did she specifically say?" ”

Only then did the little eunuch return to the subject, and replied, "That's what the princess said,...... Your Majesty, Erchen has a suggestion, why not use a large bamboo raft down the river, it is said that the river flows through a Julu village west of Pingcheng, which is only eighteen miles away from Shengjing, so that we can only walk eighteen miles more, but we don't need to think about the collapsed mountain roads and blocked valleys." The little eunuch said as he gestured, imitating Helian Yunxiu's appearance at that time.

The Nine Kings smiled helplessly, and listened to the little eunuch continue: "Later, Xin Xigong asked the princess, saying that if the water is fast and cannot be stopped in Julu Village, what should it be?" The princess is smart, she said that she has been observing for a few days, and found that the river is relatively fast in the morning, and the flow speed is fast, and the volume of water is also large. In the evening, the flow is slow, so set out in the morning and try to reach Julu Village in the evening, so that it will be safer to get off the boat, and in addition, there is also the Great Black of the Nine Kings, the power of this giant wolf is obvious to everyone."

Tuoba Hongxuan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, originally expected to let the Gu Yu Venerable Master act in the capital in the past two days, because according to the original situation, it would take at least four days to open the passage, and it would take more than one day to return to Shengle, that is, at least five days. But at Helian Yunxiu's suggestion, he arrived in Shengle in three days at most, and this time was suddenly advanced, which made Tuoba Hongxuan feel angry with Helian Yunxiu in his heart, and scolded in his heart: It's really nosy!

So, frowning, he asked, "Is this plan of the princess really feasible?" What if there is a waterfall or reef in the current? Didn't Your Majesty think about any of this? ”。

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Lord, these have been considered, and the suggestion that the princess said is feasible, because several ministers and local craftsmen have proved that this river has also transported stones before, that is, stones for building houses in hunting areas."

The Nine Kings smiled, waved their hands to let the little eunuch out, and sat on the bed in a daze, and then used a special transmission to let Zhongxingtian come to see him. After a while, Zhong Xingtian dressed up as a guard and entered the Nine Kings camp. He arched his hand and said, "Lord, what do you command?"

Tuoba Hongxuan let him approach, and whispered: "You go back to Shengle quickly, let Master Gu Yu act immediately, you don't have to wait for Dongli Song, you go quickly." Zhong Xingtian nodded, took off the guard's clothes directly in the account, changed into the clothes of ordinary servants, and quickly disappeared from the royal hunting ground.

Tuoba Hongxuan just changed into a brocade robe with blue silk patterns on a white background, Helian Yunxiu hurriedly entered the account, as soon as she entered the account, she was stunned, looking at the nine kings in front of her with a sense of déjà vu, like the person in her heart, but thinking of that person's heart, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, sighed softly, secretly scolded herself for being stupid, and then quickly adjusted her mentality, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't pack your luggage, we will leave here tomorrow."

The Nine Kings nodded "um" and said, "My clever princess is already famous all over the world, and this king heard about your idea for Your Majesty early in the morning, admire", he said, and gave a thumbs up to make a thumbs up.

When Helian Yunxiu heard this, he was surprised: "How do I feel that this is not praising me, this praise is weird."

The Nine Kings sighed lightly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Helian Yunxiu pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much, does the prince need me to help you pack your luggage."

The Nine Kings turned their heads to look at her and said, "You clean up, I'll go out to breathe," and after speaking, he strode out of the camp.

Helian Yunxiu thrust his waist angrily and scolded softly: "I'm so embarrassed, I don't know how to be polite, say thank you, I'm not a maidservant, just throw my hand to me, alas, really, why did I come in and ask him about packing his luggage?" It's really my own trouble, forget it, just clean it up for him." Thinking of this, Helian Yunxiu became busy helplessly.

The people of the entire big tent were busy until late at night, Yao Guzi and Poison Zun were busy grinding the centipedes that had already dried them into powder and putting them into specific medicine bottles, and the baby golden cicada had become golden and fat under the feeding of Poison Zun in the past few days. As soon as Yaoguzi was free, he pestered the poison zun to watch the golden cicada, looking at this baby worm, the medicine millet seemed to have sustenance, and actually called the golden cicada "baby" in front of the poison zun, and also called himself "daddy", hearing that the poison zun's face was blue and red for a while, and he felt that he was a "nurse".

Early the next morning, all the sergeants, servants, palace people, ministers and family members put all the bundled bamboo rafts into the water one by one, except for the emperor's imperial horses, all the horses were kept in the royal tent, and half of the sergeants led by the lieutenant Hua Mu Thorn and the third son Hua Luoying stayed behind to repair the plank road and open up the valley, and the rest of the sergeants escorted the emperor, the prince and the princess and the minister's family to leave together.

When a bamboo raft was put down, Tuoba Hei got on the bamboo raft alone, and Concubine Murong hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, how can you be the first to go up, in case there is any danger ahead, aren't you the first to face it!" ”。

Tuoba smiled faintly and said, "There must always be the first one to face danger!" Although I am the Emperor, I also have an obligation to protect you! ”。

Hearing this, everyone except the Nine Kings, the Nine Princesses, Yao Guzi, and the Poison Venerable knelt down in unison, begging the emperor not to risk his life. At this time, the crown princess Helian Qiuyu, who was kneeling beside her, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, whoever proposes this idea should be the first to try", and her proposal was supported by many officials and female dependents.

The crown prince Tuoba Tao arched his hand and said: "Father, the child is willing to take the lead and ask for his father's permission."

Helian Yunxiu looked at it and said with a smile: "Prince, since I proposed it, I am willing to be the first to get on the bamboo raft."

When the crown princess heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Tuoba Tao and said, "My sister said so, so don't you be a hero, right?" ”。

The crown prince Tuoba Tao glared at her, and said to Helian Yunxiu: "Yunxiu, how can you rush to the front as a woman, or let me come."

The Nine Kings smiled and said to Emperor Tuoba Hei: "Your Majesty, this king is still accompanying the princess on this first bamboo raft, in addition, I will also bring Dahei, you can rest assured that it is there."
