Jielan went back to her house to rest, thinking that when she waited until tomorrow morning, there must be many important things to do, and the most important thing for her now was to recuperate her spirit and replenish her strength, otherwise what would she rely on to meet this life-and-death battle?

Wait until the morning of the second day, the rain has stopped, the breeze is blowing, it seems a little cold, Jie's blue sky has not yet brightened, she has not let the maid serve to change clothes, she put on her clothes and is ready to go to find Qingzhan to discuss the matter of dealing with King Belon, she just opened the door, but found that there is a letter under the door, and this letter seems to be stuffed in from outside the door, Jielan is very strange, how can there be such a thing, last night when she fell asleep, it was obviously not, she carefully opened the letter, and then read the content of the letter, after reading her mood seemed very heavy, Hurriedly put the letter back in the envelope and went out of the house, she looked back left and right outside the door, but she didn't see Tan Qi's figure, and her heart was even more anxious, she wanted to go out to chase him, but how could she act rashly at this time, the only way to do this was to find Qing Zhan first and then make a decision.

She went to the 'Chaoyang Palace' where Shaojun lived alone, after she arrived there, but saw that there was no crack in front of the palace, only a general of the Divine Beast Regiment, the general suddenly saw Princess Jielan come here, a little surprised, but he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "I don't know that the princess has arrived, I have missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Jielan waved her hand and said, "There is an urgent matter in this palace to see Shaojun, and the commander is tired to go and report it." ”

If the princess knows about it, I am afraid that he will attack the princess and the young monarch with this matter, but he did not dare to refuse, only swallowed: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, and ask the princess to go back, and the princess will be informed that the princess will come to look for him." ”

How could Jielan wait, she went up the steps directly, and then pushed open the door of the palace, when the general was about to stop her, Jielan had already walked in, the general was busy following up, wanting to persuade Princess Jielan to go back, but Jielan didn't pay attention, and walked straight to the inner room where Qing Zhan was resting, and when he was walking inside, he saw Qing Zhan just walked out, he saw Jielan so anxious that he broke into his residence regardless of the woman's face, so he smiled: "What's the matter?" Could it be that the princess missed me so much when she didn't see me for a day, and came to look for me early in the morning, which really moved me. ”

Seeing that he was still joking at this time, Jielan glared at him, she took out the letter in her cuff and handed it to Qing Zhan, and said, "If you still laugh after reading this, then you can continue to laugh!" ”

Qing Zhan didn't know what this letter was, he opened it and looked at it, and frowned, only to see that the letter read: "Worship the first young monarch Jielan princess, the last general Tan Qi first confessed the crime, I hope the young princess will forgive me, the last general heard about the situation in Heimu County, and heard that Chengfeng and others were detained here, and suddenly worried in his heart, he couldn't bear to be murdered by a few people, so he wanted to go alone, looking for an opportunity to rescue them, one is to repay the young king's kindness, and the other is to repay the love owed to the princess, I hope the two don't be worried, the last general must act cautiously and carefully, and he will be rescued. I also hope to help Wangcheng quell the war, and I respect Tan Qi! After reading the letter, Qing Zhan walked to the jade case, and before the candle was extinguished, he burned the letter so that it would not fall into the hands of the enemy, or if he knew the contents of the letter, he would definitely send someone to intercept Tan Qi, and even if Tan Qi had a hundred lives, it would not be enough for anyone to take it.

Seeing that Qing Zhan didn't speak after reading it, Jielan didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked directly, "What do you say about this?" Didn't he take his own life when he ran to Heimu County alone? ”

Qing Zhan smiled indifferently, looking a little casual, he thought for a moment, and only said: "Tan Qi will never leave Benjun half a step, but he didn't expect that he would dare to say goodbye to me now, it can be seen that there is a very important person he must save, but I don't know who this person is?" It seems that this kid is no longer the most important thing in his heart, which makes Benjun very unhappy. ”

As soon as Jielan was reminded by Qing Zhan, she remembered it, and she couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Tanqi is for Qi Xue?" "Because according to Tan Qi's character, it is impossible for him to abandon Shaojun and run to Heimu County without protection for the sake of inheriting the wind, the reason why he went there without hesitation is that Jielan can't think of anything else except Qi Xue, and the reason why he chose to leave a letter and run away is probably because he is worried about what he said to Qing Zhan in person, and Qing Zhan refuses to speak, so he has to choose such a reckless way.

Qing Zhan heard Jielan mention Qi Xue, and began to have some doubts, because he knew that although Qi Xue was a demon attendant, he was a half-demon after all, and Tan Qi hated the most in this life was a demon or a half-demon or the like, and the reason why he hated Jielan so much was because she had the blood of the blood demon on her body, but what he didn't expect was that he would actually fall in love with Shangqi Xue, the little snow fox, which was unexpected by Qing Zhan, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I, the young gentleman, still don't care enough about the two of them, and I didn't guess that they were so thoughtful, I owe them so much! If something happens to this kid Tan Qi in Heimu County, I'm afraid Benjun will also be to blame. But after thinking about it carefully, Qing Zhan felt very distressed, sighed, and said, "But it's not good for this kid to fall in love with anyone, but he is in love with Uezaki Xue." ”

Jielan listened to his tone as if she felt very disdainful of Tan Qi liking a woman like Shangqi Xue, she regarded Qi Xue as her good friend, so she was very tired of Qing Zhan's thoughts, and said angrily: "What? I know that Shaojun you can't afford to look down on Qi Xue, but it doesn't matter, this palace will be loved by Xue as his own sister, no less humble than his status as a tanqi. ”

Qing Zhan felt very helpless that Jielan had such an idea, he smiled sadly, and said: "Fool, how can this gentleman have such a mind, Qi Xue girl is innocent and cute, and it is naturally more than enough to match her Tanqi, I sigh that Qi Xue girl is a demon servant, and the demon servant has always had an extraordinary emotional entanglement with the sword of the blood demon, this kind of emotion is beyond family friendship and even love, in their eyes, only the existence of the blood demon alone, and the other opposite sex is like a phantom to them, even if they have a love for other opposite sex in their hearts, They can't let go of the blood demon they guard, so it's destined that there will be no result between Tan Qi and Qi Xue. ”

Jielan didn't think about it so deeply, she only thought that Tan Qi looked down on Qi Xue's identity, so it was impossible for the two of them to be together, but now that she heard Qing Zhan analyze it so carefully, she felt that the real barrier between the two was not the identity, but the hearts of the two, Qi Xue couldn't really let go of Chengfeng, and Tan Qi couldn't really abandon Qing Zhan, how could such two people walk together? So even if they didn't start, it seemed that they had seen their end. Thinking of this, Jielan actually had the urge to cry, she felt that Qixue had a miserable life, and finally waited for a period of happiness that should belong to her, but she still couldn't see the end, why didn't God treat her better?

"If that's the case, that's the fate between them, isn't it?" Jielan raised her head and looked at Qing Zhan, although she was talking about Qi Xue, but she meant that between her and Qing Zhan.

Qing Zhan saw Jielan's tears, knowing that her heart was sour, so he said: "Actually, many things can be changed, which is why we continue to work hard!" ”

Jielan didn't want to continue this topic, and she didn't want to talk to Qing Zhan about the private relationship between the two of them at such a time, Jielan turned around, didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and only said coldly: "What are you going to do about Tan Qi?" Do you send someone to chase him back, or let him go, he is your subordinate, you should know what to do? ”

"Since he is so desperate to save the person he wants to save, then let him go, this is his own choice, whether he lives or dies, succeeds or fails, I think in the end he is willing." Qing Zhan felt that since Tan Qi had followed him since he was five years old, he had been living for him all his life, and this time he had finally found another person who could make him desperate, how could he be willing to hinder his wishes.

Seeing Qing Zhan say this, although Jielan felt that he was surprised that he didn't care about the life or death of his subordinates, but after all, this was his decision, and he must have his own reasons, so she didn't ask too much, then nodded, and said, "Since you said so, then let him go like this, maybe he can bring back the news of Chengfeng and them." Also, what can you do about King Belon and Princess Nanrong? ”

Qing Zhan told Jielan about his trip to see Qiu Zhen last night, and after hearing this, Jielan felt that he was really decisive and cautious, but he was still worried: "Although General Qiu can do his best, if he can force the two of them out of their original form to correct the law before starting a civil strife, that would be great, what method do you say should be used?" ”

Qing Zhan just smiled in the face of Jielan's question, and when he saw that it was already dark outside, he said: "It's going to be morning soon, let's have some breakfast, let's get ready to go to the morning court, and discuss strategies while eating." ”

Jielan was about to ask questions, but he strode out of the house, Jielan had to follow him out of the dormitory, to the imperial garden, the maids served some pastries, the two sat together to eat, while eating while seriously discussing the enemy's strategy, looking confident.

After the two of them had breakfast, they went to the main hall to go to the court, and above the court, there was still a solemnity, these ministers may have felt a little frightened because they heard about the rebellion in Heimu County yesterday, and they heard that there were people in the court who colluded with the enemy county, which made them feel even more frightened, and they were afraid that this crime would be found on them, so most of them did not dare to speak rashly.

Qing Zhan was indignant when he saw the ministers like this, and he smiled coldly: "All the ministers know how big the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is, not only being destroyed by the nine clans, but also the soul of the mastermind will also be broken into the nine shadows, and they will not be able to live forever, but the greater the crime, the deeper it can be seen, if this usurper is not found out and severely punished, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the country of Xueying, I don't know if the ministers have thought of any way to find out this person after they go back." ”

His Royal Highness was still silent, and after a long time, Bai Bing, the secretary of the criminal department, walked out and said: "As the minister of the criminal department, he is willing to share the worries of the lord, please hand over the investigation to Weichen, and Weichen should find out this chaotic minister and thief, and protect the blood of Yingguo and Taitai." ”

When Qing Zhan heard Bai Bing say this, he thought that there were still a few loyal ministers in the court, so he walked down the jade steps and said: "Bai Shangshu is also very pleased to have this heart, but Bai Shangshu is not too bothered, because early this morning, this monarch has received a letter, saying that the White Devil Saint Venerable Chengfeng has successfully captured Xuanhang, the great prince of Heimu County, and he is escorting this person to the royal city, I believe that after this person is brought to the royal city, first, he can directly ask who the collaborator is from his mouth, and second, he can take him as a hostage. In this way, the people of Heimu County don't dare to act too rashly, according to the time, probably tonight, they will go to Pingdu, and then they will bother Bai Shangshu to go to meet the Holy Venerable, help him take the prince back to prison and take care of him, don't let him be kidnapped, let alone let him escape, can you do it? ”

When Bai Bing heard the news, he naturally thought that what Shaojun said was true, and he was sincerely happy to finally have a clue and be able to find out who the colluding foreign enemy was, and he immediately knelt down and took the order: "Weichen received the order, and he will not dare to live up to Shaojun's wishes." ”

Qing Zhan helped him up and said, "Very good, without further ado, Bai Shangshu will be ready after retreating, if you need military support, speak directly to this monarch, and this monarch will send people from the Divine Beast Regiment to protect the hostages." ”

When Bai Bing heard this, he felt even more excited, and he was a little less worried, because since it was a hostage, the enemy must have come to hijack him after knowing about it, although those arresters in Bai Bing's Criminal Department were all good hands, but if the enemy brought a large number of troops to rob, he might not be able to deal with it, "Thank you Shaojun for your help." ”

Qing Zhan raised his eyes to look at the position of King Belon on the side, but saw that King Belon was coming to court today, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see King Belon today?" ”

When he asked, the other ministers began to whisper to each other, but they didn't dare to say it, but Princess Nanrong, who was standing at the top, replied: "My father suddenly fell seriously ill last night, and his condition worsened early this morning, and he couldn't go to the court, so I ask the young king to forgive me." ”

As soon as Qing Zhan heard this reason, he knew that it was far-fetched, and when he looked at it carefully, he saw that General Tong Ge was not in the court, so he asked with a smile: "Is General Tong also sick?" ”

There was another discussion in the court, and after waiting for a while, Lord Zaifu stood up and replied: "Back to the king of the young king, General Tong Ge sent his subordinate generals to report that he accidentally fell last night because he was drunk, resulting in a leg injury, so he can't come to the morning court today. ”

Qing Zhan already knew that these people had ghosts in their hearts, and if they didn't come to the court, they would actually strike the court, in order to establish their authority, and it was more likely that the two of them were already discussing the matter of raising troops to rebel, and Qing Zhan didn't say anything, but said: "Oh? Since both of them happen to be injured and sick, then Benjun doesn't force it, let them have a good life at home, when it's okay, when you want to come to the court, come again! If the other ministers have nothing else to do, let them retreat! ”

The ministers bowed their heads and bowed, and after King Xiao left the hall with Jielan and Qing Zhan, the other ministers also got up and prepared to leave.

Lord Hongden stopped Bai Bing, who was about to return to the Criminal Department, and said, "Lord Bai walks slowly, the old man has a word of persuasion." ”

Bai Bing stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Oh?" What happened to Hongda? ”

"It's very dangerous to act at night, Lord Bai must be careful, if there is any old man who can help, the old man will do his best." He paused for a moment, and after the other ministers had left, Hongden pulled Lord Bai Bing aside and whispered, "There is one sentence I have to remind Lord Bai." ”

"What Hongda, please say!"

"The relationship between the Holy Venerable Chengfeng and Princess Jielan is well known to everyone, Princess Jielan has returned, but she has not seen the Holy Venerable Chengfeng, so Chengfeng must have been trapped, and how can he escort the prince, so when he acted at night, the son of the world that Lord Bai saw believed that it must not be the true son of Heimu County, so Lord Bai's subordinates should be merciful and not hurt the other party's life, but it must be inevitable to fight to the death at night, Lord Bai should be careful!"

After Hongdeng's reminder, Bai Bing came to his senses, and he thanked him again and again: "If it weren't for Hongda's mention, I almost wouldn't have been able to understand Shaojun's deep meaning, thank you Hongda for your kind words and reminder." ”

Hongdeng said apologetically: "The young monarch and the princess are both wise and brave, and it is a blessing for the Blood Ying Kingdom to have the two of them, and those of us who are courtiers want to compare with their resourcefulness, but it is far behind." Although his words were modest, he also sincerely praised Jielan.

After the two finished speaking, they said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective departments to deal with important matters.
