Chapter 22: The Comeback

The person dressed as a general bowed his head, because the distance was too far, Zhuang Xun couldn't hear what he said, but the general guarded the pass with a serious expression, and then ordered the checkpoint to be released.

After a while, Zhuang inquired about them and were led out of the pass, Li Ruxi, He Junyi and others, all the way were stunned, looking at the gate with the gate wide open, and went to the pass.

"Okay, the slave family will send you here, Your Highness will go to Chengguo, please disguise first, after all, the southwest is the territory of King Qinghe, remember to be very careful, continue to the northeast, and enter the sphere of influence of the Li family."

Mrs. Jiang said goodbye, her eyes were no longer parting, but more determined, and told Zhuang to inquire about the matters that should be paid attention to.

There is no way, it is too difficult to send Zhuang Xun directly to leave from the eastern border, and this time Mrs. Zhen Jiang also went to the eastern front, and the identity she played will be over if it is revealed.

That's why she took great pains to set up such a bureau, and used a romantic way to hunt geese around the east and go northeast.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Jiang herself traveled secretly, and this chariot general was also promoted by Empress Dowager Jiang before, and this route was also the road she thought of the best way to avoid the sphere of influence of Zhao State and the scope of King Qinghe of Chengguo.

Although Zhuang Xun was a little confused, he still nodded, it was different from the plan, there was no need to make a big detour, but there were many risks, just like the king of Qinghe that Mrs. Jiang said.

But this has been calculated, and they have successfully separated from Zhao State, so they can't turn around and go back to carry out the plan with an unknown future, that is a bit of a serious illness.

It's a pity that the preparations to be made by King Bian Cheng have been short, and Zhuang Xun doesn't have to go to Yongzhou, so he directly turns north and leaves Zhao State.

"Mrs. Jiang, won't you go back with us?"

After listening to Mrs. Jiang's explanation, Zhuang Xun immediately reacted, this is wrong, how can Mrs. Jiang stay here.

Mrs. Jiang helped herself escape, how could she explain that she stayed in Zhao Guo, after all, she followed her all the way, and saw her send away the eyeliner to follow, so she arrived at the border safely.

"This is the slave country, where can the slave family go." Mrs. Jiang or Lan Qiu smiled bitterly, if she escaped like this, is that still in line with her so-called loyalty?

In Lan Qiu's cognition, he let go of Zhuang Xun, and he was already sorry for Empress Dowager Jiang's kindness of rescue, nurturing and teaching, and if he ran away, then he would not be an adult, he was a villain among villains, and he was generous to others.

This is also the responsibility and obligation she must shoulder, since she violated the will of the Empress Dowager Jiang and let Zhuang Xun leave, then she is ready to accept Mrs. Jiang's punishment.

"You can come to my country, I like you, you can come and be my concubine, be a concubine, I can give you status and give you a lot of things."

Zhuang Xun hugged Lan Qiu forward, and said excitedly, Mrs. Jiang's appearance made him feel distressed, and he promised to give her a home.

"I know, but I'm not the Mrs. Jiang you like, the Mrs. Jiang you like is not here."

Pushing Zhuang Xun, leaving his embrace, shaking his head, the smile of the beautiful woman was gentle, to tell the truth, in her opinion, Zhuang Xun liked Mrs. Jiang who had always helped him, not an imposter like her.

"I also know, you go with me, there is no good result in staying in Zhao Kingdom, you have been regarded as a traitor by them, you come with me, you are not from Zhao Country anymore, you are my wife, and you are the princess of Xia Kingdom."

Zhuang Xun tried to grab Mrs. Jiang's hand, Zhuang Xun thought that what Lan Qiu said was not what Mrs. Jiang said, Mrs. Jiang was not here to say that Mrs. Jiang was not here, and her position was not there, and she was no longer the Mrs. Jiang who could support herself at will compared money, talents, and food resources.

"That's impossible, you don't have to think about it, I can rescue you, I'm already satisfied, next, the consequences should be borne by me, and I received the task, that's it, since I have this kind of selfishness, I shouldn't take this kind of task, it's up to Your Highness to yourself."

Lan Qiu said frankly, pulling out the hand that was grabbed by Zhuang Xun, his eyes were firm and fearless, thoughtful, and after thinking about it countless times, Zhuang Xun's words could not convince her.

If she wants to make a rational decision, it is impossible for her to let Zhuang Xun leave, and she has said many times that it is a wrong decision to let Zhuang Xun go, which is already irrational.

Similarly, not following Zhuang Xun to leave, but staying in Zhao State, is also an irrational choice, more serious is to die, even if she does not die, the punishment will be extremely severe, and even cut off her own path, although she has not chosen to help Zhao this dragon.

So a rational choice, she chose this path and should go all the way to the black, directly chose to help Zhuang Xun, and went to Xia with Zhuang Xun, even if she is not really Mrs. Jiang, exposing this identity, Zhuang Xun will still value her and thank her.

She still made such an irrational choice, just as she decided to save Zhuang before, cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, some people can convince themselves, and their actions are clothed with righteousness, and some people cannot.

"There's no need, don't go back, we can compensate Zhao Guo for anything in the future, don't go back, there must be no good ending when you go back."

Just after being rescued, Zhuang Xun's heart was excited, and when he saw Mrs. Jiang's righteous thoughts, his worry turned into a stop, trying to grab Mrs. Jiang's hand, wanting to forcibly keep Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang dodged Zhuang Xun, her posture was flexible and vigorous, Zhuang Xun grabbed a void and watched her take two steps back and retreat.

Madame Jiang still had a charming smile, her movements were light and soft, mature and gentle, she raised her hand and said softly:

"I have already made a decision, Your Highness does not need to persuade me anymore, if you are grateful to me, then please treat your people as you said to me, so that everyone has clothes and enough to eat."

"I like you, I want you to stay with me, you promise me if it's okay, just stay for a few years, and escort me back to Xia Kingdom."

Zhuang Xun pleaded and said that Mrs. Jiang's appearance of life and death, Zhuang Xun had a hunch that if he let her go, then he might really have to go to the underworld to find her.

"But I haven't liked Your Highness yet, Your Highness, it's time for me to go, thank you for your kindness." Madame Jiang smiled, waved her hand, and the clouds rose and disappeared under the thick smoke cover.

I didn't like it completely, and it was almost a little bit, and the favor was already satisfied, otherwise there would be no resistance to the marriage, and there would not be such an irrational plan to let Zhuang Xun escape from Zhao State.

Coming to the clouds and flying in the direction of Zhao Guo, Mrs. Jiang or Lan Qiu frowned.

"Little girl, what are you thinking?" A chuckle made Lan Qiu almost fall from the clouds in shock, and a black gauze woman appeared beside her, it was Bi Yuewu.

"Gods? Which god, the god of Zhao has obviously been branched out! Lan Qiu let out a stunned voice.

"I'm not your god, it's great, in the name of Xuannu Niangniang, I will branch out the gods, and you are not afraid that Xuannu Niangniang will kill you to atone for your sins."

"Since you have done such a thing, how can you be afraid of death, you are already ready to die."

Lan Qiu stabilized after a brief panic, and now he had a mortal sacrifice heart, what else was there to be afraid of.

"You're not Mrs. Jiang, right, you're Lan Qiu." Bi Yuewu saw through Lan Qiu's identity.

"How would you know." Lan Qiu covered her mouth and leaked her mouth, no matter whether the other party really knew or deceived her, she could be sure now.

"Because the hairpin on your head was sent to you by Zhuang Xun, that negative man, he didn't even notice it for more than ten days."

Bi Yuewu buried Zhuang Xun and said, while saying pity to Lan Qiu, his eyes were very concerned.

"How do you know?" Lan Qiu was full of vigilance.

"Because I'm a god who supports Zhuang Xun, I've been watching you all the time when you're playing, why don't you tell Zhuang Xun that you helped him."

Bi Yuewu didn't care about Lan Qiu's vigilance, and said curiously, it was clear that Lan Qiu had a good impression of Zhuang Xun, so why did he make wedding dresses for others.

Hearing that Bi Yuewu was the god who supported Zhuang Xun, Lan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and thought about Bi Yuewu's inquiry for a while

"Because I'm sorry for Madame, she saved me and taught me spells, although I'm just her maid, but she is also a teacher and a mother to me, I have no chance of surviving this time, Xuannu Niangniang or Madame She will kill me, I don't want Mrs. and King Xia You to hate, it's a little funny, right, even so, I don't want the two to hate."

Lan Qiu was laughed at by herself, and there was some sadness in her smile, as if she had someone to talk to, and it was also her last words.

"Both of them are people I respect and like, even if it's false, I want King Xia You to have a good impression of Madame, if Xia Kingdom unifies the world, I can let Madame go, Madame is too, I ask her for guilt this time, it will show that I forced King Xia You to go back, King Xia You has actually lost his mind as a plaything, and he didn't mean to go against her, so Madame will also show mercy to his subordinates."

"Stupid, stupid, you have a bullshit meaning." Bi Yuewu scolded twice, what a fool, how can he be so stupid.

"Maybe it's just stupid, I won't ask your name, because I will tell Madame, you go back to protect His Royal Highness King Xia You, with you, he should be safer."

admits Bi Yuewu's swearing, she doesn't argue, and Zhengse advises Bi Yuewu to say.

"What can I do with mortal affairs, I can only take care of you." Bi Yuewu sneered.

"Huh?"

"Do you want to leave when you're here? Come on, you. ”

On the other side, Zhuang Xun looked at the smoke that had dissipated, stretched out his hand weakly, grabbed it, there was nothing, Mrs. Jiang didn't eat his feelings at all.

Because the object was used incorrectly, borrowing the image of the Empress Dowager Jiang, how could Lan Qiu agree, Zhuang Xun liked Mrs. Jiang, not hers.

Mrs. Jiang's departure left a few people who looked at each other, and they watched the conversation between Zhuang Xun and Mrs. Jiang just now, and now that Mrs. Jiang is gone, they surround again.

"I never expected that Mrs. Jiang would actually send your husband back." It's incredible that Li Ruji, because she also ate a little bit of flying vinegar, and now that she thinks about it, she is really narrow-minded.

"Madame Jiang is well aware of the righteousness, and for the sake of Your Highness's wishes, I will send you out at the risk." Huang Xi also sighed, obviously he had already planned it.

After chasing the prey, chasing for a few days, everyone thought that this would not affect the judgment of King Zhao, after all, it was too long, would it be strictly guarded when he went back, and cut off the idea of Zhuang Xun escaping, and secondly, it was too much time to waste, more than ten days, if he missed the current situation in Yu Guo, then there was no need to go back.

It's a foregone conclusion, why go back, it's hopeless, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, it's a hurdle that can't be left behind, if it's really according to Zhao Guo's idea, then Jizhou will not be at peace. Xia Guozhen, who Zhuang Xun is waiting for the establishment, is better off leaning against the big tree.

Now that the time is not only not delayed, but advanced, Zhuang Xun has enough time to intervene in the conflict of Yu Guo.

"The so-called righteous and unrighteous are helped, and it is also because His Highness has good virtues and great ambitions, so everyone is willing to help His Highness."

He Jungs also added that he doubted that such a thing as the Emperor Vein would have potential magical powers, so that Zhuang Xun could escape.

Although the probability of Zhuang Xun being able to escape is also quite high, there will still be difficulties in leaving the border checkpoint, and there is no difficulty, but the prey that has been chased for more than ten days has returned to Chengguo.

"That's right, Your Highness is a virtuous person, so there are noble people to help." Huang Xi agreed that he was a loyal subordinate of Zhuang Xun.

"It's a pity that it will hurt her, and she will be more than lucky when she goes back this time." Zhuang Xun couldn't help but say that he felt quite uncomfortable, because the other party was suffering because of himself.

"Don't be sad, husband, since it is Mrs. Jiang's choice, she also thought of this, kill yourself and become benevolent, and husband must not live up to Mrs. Jiang's kindness."

In this case, only Zhuang Xun's wife is suitable to stand up and persuade, Li Ru is not compelling, at the same time, remorse is also true, Zhuang Xun and Mrs. Jiang get along too little, that kind of affection, should be more, I should encourage Zhuang Xun to be bold, maybe there will be a chance to leave Mrs. Jiang.

"Of course I won't live up to it, I couldn't figure it out before, I think that anyway, as long as I manage the quiet place of summer, it's fine, but now that I understand it, I want to make Jiuzhou like this, so that I can be worthy of the people who support me for this kind of thinking and practice."

Zhuang Xun took a deep breath, and he couldn't allow him to retreat and prevaricate, just like King Yu once told him, only by showing his ambition will he know whether he can assist.

At the same time, after experiencing the bets of gods such as King Yama, as well as the help of people like Mrs. Jiang, Zhuang Xun understood that the ambition of his views should be expressed and let others hear it.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, you will definitely be able to unify Kyushu and build a great cause for all generations, and Mrs. Jiang will definitely be happy to see this."

He Jungsan gave up his hand and watched Zhuang Xun's growth all the way, from the hesitation at the beginning, to the firmness in the follow-up, and then to the fearlessness and determination at this time, Zhuang Xun, the lord, is getting better and better.

"Okay, don't talk about it, stay away from Zhao Guo first, let's change our clothes and these things, it's not completely safe, didn't you say? There was collusion between Zhao and King Qinghe. ”

Since the beauty is irretrievable, Zhuang Xun cleaned up his mood and prepared to run away first, he didn't have time to feel sad, he was still in danger, but he was not as depressed as when he was in Zhao Guo.

"What Your Highness said is that we will get into the carriage first, and we will discuss it slowly." He Jung's thought that too, I don't know how long Mrs. Jiang can delay, the sooner she leaves, the safer.

"Just come to Chengguo, we can also ask for a title of surrender and get the protection of Chengguo's national fortune, although Zhao Guo heard from the great god that there is only one top god, and others dare not catch the lonely at will, but just in case, we still have a good plan."

Zhuang Xun said first, and then several people nodded in agreement, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, and now I still feel that the national movement is reliable.

"So we're going to the capital of the country?" Huang Xi nodded and said clearly, he was familiar with the capital of Chengguo, Jidu.

"Well, go to Jidu, but Lone doesn't know these paths, do you know?" Zhuang Xun studied Zhao's path to Xia and Jingzheng, but he never thought that he would leave from Zhao to Cheng.

"This concubine knows that there are currently two roads, one leads directly to Jidu, and the other needs to be slightly farther away, that is, the northeast direction that Mrs. Jiang said, and enter the sphere of influence of the concubine's mother's family first."

Li Ruxi clearly remembered the route, the map of Chengguo had been memorized in his mind, and even the passes in it were understood.

"Then follow the path that Mrs. Jiang said." Because he was very convinced of Mrs. Jiang at the moment, Zhuang Xun did not hesitate.

"The minister suggested that they go in two ways, one is bright and the other is dark, the bright road attracts the attention and movements of King Qinghe, and the secret road secretly goes to Jidu by His Royal Highness."

Since there are two paths, He Jung's proposal is that this will better cover Zhuang Xun and increase the probability of Zhuang Xun leaving the Qinghe King's sphere of influence.

"It makes sense, how to divide it?" Zhuang Xun brought more than a dozen people on this safari, and the target was indeed too big to be easily discovered.

"The minister and General Huang lead the troops, General Huang is tall and recognizable, go straight to Jidu, His Royal Highness can go to the northeast with Princess Li and enter the sphere of influence of the Li family."

He Jung's proposal for this kind of strategy naturally has to rush to the front by himself, which is equivalent to using himself as bait.

"Yes, yes, the minister's recognition is high, and our eyes are attracted, His Highness will make some disguises and leave."

Huang Xi hurriedly agreed, as if he was afraid that Zhuang Xun would not agree if he agreed too late, because Zhuang Xun didn't like to sacrifice his friends very much.

"Ru Xi, what do you think?" Zhuang Xun turned his head and asked Li Ruxi, asking her if she had any new ideas.

"If you want to talk about recognition, only the concubines have the recognition, the concubines suggest that the concubines and General Huang go west, and you and He Duwei go to the northeast."

Li Ruxi boldly suggested that she hold down Zhuang Xun's hand to prevent him from getting excited, and disagreed to say several reasons.

"First, although the concubine has force, she can't protect your husband. Second, the husband is the most important thing for you, as long as you are not held hostage, everything is fine. Third, as long as you are fine, what if we are caught by King Qinghe, and it can even be said that King Qinghe dares to arrest his concubines? ”

Zhuang Xun was silent for a while, and Li Ruxi continued as if to help him make up her mind: "Don't live up to Mrs. Jiang's hard work." ”

"Okay."

The people are divided into two parts, one team is two, Zhuang Xun and He Jung, and the other team is led by Li Ruxi.

The idea is very good, Li Ruxi did attract attention, but in a hurry, by force, finally crossed the river and returned to the Xia Kingdom.

However, Zhuang Xun successfully arrived in Jidu, but was detained.
