Jin Xuan roughly guessed that Jielan was asking her for this matter, and she didn't beat around the bush, but said: "Because of the princess, I may have offended many ministers and even princes in your royal city, and then because the princess let my demon servant be detained by Heimu County, and now the princess has asked me to help you calm down the civil strife, the princess is really a good plan, so far, will the princess think that I, Jin Xuan, will help you?" ”

Jielan also felt that it was really a little uncomfortable to beg Jin Xuan for help, but the situation was urgent, and she had to rely on external strength to help herself, after all, this time, she could only win and not lose, otherwise, all the people she cherished would die without a place to be buried, Jielan said resolutely: "I know that you have a grudge against me, and I also know that I owe you a lot, but since I met you as the city lord, I have treated you as my friend, not to mention that we are both blood demons, aren't we?" I always believe that you will help me, and if Heimu County really rebels, then they will definitely attack Jin Zhao City, when the time comes, either Jin Zhao City will take the initiative to surrender to Hei Mu County, or fight to the death, no matter what the situation, I think the city lord does not want to see it, of course, I also do not want to see it, so I hope that before such a tragedy happens, I can stop it, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be too late to redeem it. ”

Jin Xuan heard Jielan's high-sounding reason, although she was angry in her heart, but she also understood the truth, she thought for a long time, and only said: "You are the princess of the royal city, and I have always been the city lord of the city, since the princess has an order, then how dare I, the city lord, disobey, but even if I accept the order, I will also accept the order of the real princess of the royal city, not the order of the princess who is still a fugitive, otherwise, I obey the order of a fugitive and use the troops of my Jin Zhaocheng, wouldn't I also be crowned with the title of a traitor, so, If you want me to send troops, wait until the princess can return to the royal court safely without being robbed of her identity! ”

Jielan also heard what Jin Xuan meant, she heard Jin Xuan say this, although the other party did not agree to her request, but the implication was that there would be a turnaround, not to mention that it was normal for Jin Xuan to think like this, after all, she had to think about her own people. If she returns to the royal court and is executed or imprisoned, then Jin Xuan will become an unrighteous soldier if she raises an army, and she will be slaughtered by the iron cavalry of the royal city, so it is normal for her to say this.

Jielan still thanked: "I will definitely return to the royal court as a princess, and I will not disappoint you, so thank you very much for answering me like this." She thought for a moment and said, "However, I still have one more thing to ask the city lord here. ”

Jin Xuan was a little impatient and asked, "I don't know what else is going on with the princess?" ”

"I want to borrow your pen and ink here to write two documents, and I also want to trouble the city lord to send my two documents to Chiyan City and Qingzhou City respectively."

Jin Xuan roughly understood what Jielan meant, and said with a smile: "It seems that the princess is going to turn to the city lords of these two cities for help because I didn't agree to your request just now?" ”

Jielan felt ashamed again, and only said: "Although I intend to turn to these two cities for help, but after all, the distant water can't save the near fire, if something really happens in the royal city, I'm afraid I can only rely on Jin Zhaocheng, I wrote to them, just hope that they will be careful of foreign enemies these days, and be ready to fight, I am worried that the war will be imminent, if we do not take the precedent of the situation, it will be easy to lose." ”

Seeing Jielan come back this time, Jin Xuan suddenly felt that Jielan was much wiser and more rational than the last time she saw her, which made Jin Xuan a little surprised, she let go and said, "You can use my pen and ink at will." ”

Jielan nodded in thanks, and walked to Jin Xuan's jade case, she unfolded the rice paper, held the brush, and began to write the paperwork, the content of the document is roughly about the current situation in the world, and then let them be careful of the enemy, and practice more soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle from time to time. After writing the paperwork, Jielan sealed it in a cowhide seal, and then handed it to Jin Xuan, and said: "I completely entrust you with this matter, don't miss this matter, otherwise, Chiyan City and Qingzhou City may be in danger, although preparing in advance may not necessarily be able to defeat Heimu County, but it is always necessary to take precautions, I hope that the city lord of Jin Xuan can work hard for me again." ”

Jin Xuan took the paperwork, she forgot her initial displeasure, and said: "I can send someone to deliver it for you this time, but I hope that one day, when you take charge of the throne, princess, don't forget that you still promised me one thing." ”

Jielan smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I don't dare to forget." Jielan looked at the sky outside the hall and saw that it was already noon, and she had to rush back to the royal city as soon as possible, so she didn't stay longer, but said: "Since the city lord of Jin Xuan has agreed to my request, then I won't say more, I have to rush to the royal city today, so I won't stay here longer." ”

"The princess must be in danger on her lonely road, why don't I let my soldiers here escort you back to the royal court?" Jin Xuan proposed.

Jielan shook her head, "No, if it is known that I was sent back by the generals of Jin Zhaocheng, then Heimu County and the people in the royal court who colluded with Heimu County will know that there is a connection between me and Jin Zhaocheng, and I am worried that they will be unfavorable to Jin Zhaocheng, so it is better for me to go back alone." ”

Jin Xuan saw that Jielan thought things so thoroughly, and she admired it very much, and she no longer forced her to stay, so she sent Jielan out of the city, and when Jielan was sent to the palace gate, Jielan asked Jin Xuan to stop, planning to return to the palace by herself, Jin Xuan saw her like this, so she didn't twist and force, and she stopped at the palace gate, but she saw that Jielan had no mount, so she asked the general to lead a horse to Jielan, Jielan accepted the gift, she got on the horse, and then patted the horse forward, and galloped towards the royal city without hesitation.

Jin Xuan watched her figure disappear into the dust, and a feeling of admiration arose in her heart, after all, a woman can be so tenacious and so wise, who can she be if she is not a king?

Perhaps it is such a woman who makes countless people willing to sacrifice their lives for her, and including Tianling.

...................................

Jielan rushed back day and night, and ran until the early morning of the second day, when she finally saw the city gate of Pingdu, but it was not yet time to open the city gate, so the city gate was closed, and Jielan could not enter for a while.

Jielan got off the horse, she led the horse slowly, thinking about the few days since she left the royal city, she didn't know how much had happened, she thought that she would definitely not come back alive, but she didn't expect that she was standing on the land of the royal city now, smelling the strong breath of the royal city, she suddenly felt that she was still in a dream.

It's a pity that today's return is only exchanged for how many people suffered for themselves. Jielan regretted it in her heart, but although this trip was a little stupid, it was not worth it to learn about such a big thing as Heimu County.

As she led her horse to the gate of the city, she gradually saw a man standing at the gate of the city, dressed in a black robe, with long black jewel-like hair and dew in the morning mist, standing there all the time, and there was a white horse beside him, and the horse that radiated a white light, but it was the Pegasus, and who else was there in this world but the young king of the royal city?

Jielan's footsteps suddenly stopped, just like this, the two looked at each other in the air, as if a pair of long-lost lovers felt trance and excitement at the moment of reunion, they looked at each other like this, for a long time, before they approached each other step by step, and finally couldn't hold back the throbbing in their hearts, and ran up to each other's arms.

Jielan plunged into Qingzhan's arms, once again smelling this long-lost smell that only belonged to Qingzhan, Jielan really felt like a world away, she suddenly cried in Qingzhan's arms, and the hardships and pains, grievances and disasters experienced during this period of time were released in this cry, but Qingzhan just hugged her gently, like soothing a wounded child, he stroked Jielan's long hair, picked up Jielan's already a somewhat haggard and vicissitudes of life, and said straight: "These days have made you suffer, I'm really useless, Can't be by your side, protect you and take care of you. ”

When Jielan heard this, her tears slipped even harder, she kept shaking her head, and only said, "Fortunately, you are not by my side, fortunately you are not by my side." She kept repeating this sentence, because she really felt so lucky, Qing Zhan was not with her this time, otherwise, Qing Zhan might have been trapped in Heimu County with Chengfeng and them in order to save herself, she didn't want all the people she cherished to be implicated because of herself, she just wanted all of them to be well.

Qing Zhan held Jielan's face, and gently rubbed her rough skin with his fingers, he only said: "You must have suffered a lot outside this time, I really hate not going with you, I really hate that I can only stay in the royal city when you need help the most, when I know that you left the royal court, I originally planned to go out to find you, but your sudden departure made me feel very strange, it must be involved in the struggle of the royal city, and then there was a recital from Lord Bai Bing, saying that you escaped from the royal court and wanted to be arrested, I immediately knew that you had fallen for the enemy's scheme, if I left the royal city, only your mother would be left, then no one would be able to protect her, and no one would dare to resist the forces of Princess Nanrong, so I made up my mind not to look for you, will you hate me after hearing this, and hate that Benjun did not stay by your side when you were in danger. ”

Jielan still shook her head, showing a bleak smile, she left Qing Zhan's embrace, and said: "After I left the royal court, the most worried is my mother, it is better for you to stay here, if you ignore the royal city because of me, then I will resent you." ”

When Qing Zhan heard Jielan say this, his heart calmed down a lot, and he only said: "Presumably a lot of things have happened to you along the way, and you asked Lord Hongdeng to read the documents brought to me by me, this incident really shocked me, you haven't returned for so long, you must have also gone to Heimu County, where there is a lot of danger, and Benjun is really worried about your safety." ”

"The matter of Heimu County is very urgent, and it is true that they are going to rebel, and I also know that Kong Jing has now become the general of Heimu County, and those skeleton demons are under his control, and he is about to attack Chiyan City in a short time, so we must go back and discuss with the ministers how to deal with Heimu County." Jielan seemed to have one more thing in mind, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, there is another thing, I suspect that someone in the royal court is colluding with Heimu County, if we don't eradicate this person, we will inevitably suffer enemies inside and outside, then we will be very passive." ”

After listening to Jielan's words, Qing Zhan suddenly felt that Jielan had changed a lot, not only did she dare to take the initiative to take responsibility, but she also became cautious and wise, she was really growing up little by little, maturing little by little. Qing Zhan smiled slightly, and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess said this, there must be no mistake, and this monarch will definitely do his best to help Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Hearing Qing Zhan talking to herself at this moment, her originally serious mood instantly relaxed, and the tight strings were loosened, she smiled lightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have changed." Thinking that she was talking here, and Chengfeng and they were still suffering in a different place, Jielan felt a burst of self-blame in her heart, and sighed: "Chengfeng Qixue They are trapped in Heimu County, I..."

Qing Zhan heard Jielan mention Chengfeng, thinking that Chengfeng had been by her side all this time, and yes, where Jielan was, he would always choose to stay by her side, unlike himself, Qing Zhan smiled bitterly and comforted: "Don't be sad first, I will find a way to save them, the most important thing now is to go back to the royal court, so that your mother can rest assured." ”
