Originally, in order to save time, Su Qingyan should have chosen to ride a horse, but as she grew older, she couldn't withstand such bumps at all, so she could only put on a carriage.

"Qiu Cheng, if we go at the current speed, how long will it take for us to arrive in Beili?"

The soldier said respectfully: "Back to Concubine Su, at least ten days." ”

"Ten days." Su Qingyan repeated these two numbers in his mouth a few times, and took a deep breath, "Okay, ten days is ten days, as long as I can see the skylight, even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I will rush over." ”

"Concubine Su, rest assured, along the way, your subordinates will definitely protect your safety."

"Hmm."

She was in a hurry to go out, and she didn't even have time to pack her luggage, only brought a bunch of dry cakes, and as for the business in the chamber of commerce, she didn't care about it at all.

However, with Shopkeeper Guo and Liu Xialan here, I believe there will be no problems.

Perhaps God was deliberately blocking them, but the day after they were on their way, there was a heavy rain, and the horses struggled to walk, and they almost slipped several times.

For safety reasons, Qiu Cheng found a dilapidated temple nearby that could barely shelter from the wind and rain, "Concubine Su, the rain is too heavy, and it will be dangerous to continue to move forward, so it's better to rest here for a while." ”

Su Qingyan was so anxious that she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly to the north immediately, but she couldn't risk her life and that of her children.

"Okay, then let's take shelter from the rain here." She raised her hand to cover the heavy rain and strode into the broken temple, Qiu Cheng settled the carriage and horses, and walked in wet.

"This rain came too suddenly, and I don't know when it will stop, Concubine Su, you can rest here for a while, and your subordinates will go down to the door and guard it."

"You don't need to pay attention to so many rules when you go out, your clothes are soaked, and you are prone to typhoid fever, hurry up and come over to bake the fire." As he spoke, Su Qingyan had already lit the withered grass and branches in the corner, and the temple was shrouded in a layer of bright yellow light.

Qiu Cheng is a rough person after all, he doesn't have so many twists and turns, since Concubine Su said so, there is no need for him to shirk, "Thank you Concubine Su." ”

The two of them sat in front of the flickering fire, their faces very heavy.

"Tell me about the specific situation after Su Ye rushed to the north."

"Yes, at the beginning, under the leadership of Miss Huan and Pei Yi'an, the army passed through the miasma and the forest smoothly, I thought there would be nothing to be afraid of, but I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped into the north and left the city gate, there were people over there waiting for the rabbits, and we were caught off guard."

"You mean, the soldiers of Beili have been waiting there for a long time?"

"That's right, Su Ye immediately ordered everyone to retreat, but it was too late. The battle was so heavy that we managed to retreat to a safe area, but we didn't expect that there were many poisonous insects placed there, and if we bite it, we will get a rash all over our body, and finally our skin will ulcerate and die. ”

Just listening to Qiu Cheng's description, Su Qingyan felt chills all over his body, let alone his own experience.

"This time, Su Ye led the troops to Beili without making a noise, and he has always bypassed the official road and passed through the mountain road, it stands to reason that it should be impossible for the people on the other side of Beili to know the movements of the army."

"The subordinates were also puzzled by this, and later a general who followed Su Ye caught a soldier from Beili and learned the truth after being tortured."

"What truth?"

Qiu Cheng said angrily: "The prince secretly colluded with the Beili royal family and revealed all our every move. Not only that, but there are also eyeliners in the army that he has inserted! ”

"It's the prince again!" Su Qingyan's fingers clenched, wishing that he could break Mu Feng's body into ten thousand pieces.

"Concubine Su, our group of people followed Su Ye from birth to death, and thought about the horse leather shroud, and also thought about burying it under the vast yellow sand, but I didn't expect that we would die in the hands of our own people in the end." Qiu Cheng said and spoke, his eyes were red.

"You don't have to feel sad, when I find Su Ye and return to Beijing safely, I will definitely make the prince pay for so many innocent lives!"

Qiu Cheng wiped a handful of tears, "It's been so long, and I don't know what happened to Su Ye." Beili is like purgatory on earth, if you accidentally take a wrong step, you will turn into dry bones, I hope he is still alive and well. ”

"Definitely.

She believes that Lu Tianhui will not easily give up his wife and children, let alone be willing to bury himself in the ground with such a sea of blood and hatred.

The rain was still falling outside, as if it was going to wash away all the sins of the world.

Su Qingyan couldn't sleep at all in the first half of the night, and only after staying up in the second half of the night did he feel a little sleepy, leaning against the wall and squinting for a few hours.

The next day, the pouring rain outside had turned into a drizzle, and the two of them packed up their things and began to leave north again.

After sleeping in the open for more than ten days in a row, Su Qingyan's whole body was curd, but fortunately, the child in her belly had always been very obedient, and she had no uncomfortable reaction at all.

Twelve days later, the two finally stood in front of the dangerous forest.

"Concubine Su, it's nothing when you just walk into this forest, but once you touch that miasma, poisonous insects will be everywhere, you must be careful with your feet, you must not be bitten by them."

"I know, it's time to calculate the time for reinforcements from the Western Regions to arrive, let's wait here patiently for a while."

The land outside the forest was still dry, and Su Qingyan sat down on the spot, uncomfortable with the humid and stuffy air.

No wonder Beili can grow so many strange poisonous insects, this kind of weather is the perfect cultivation vessel, not only hot enough, but also the air is very humid, she only stayed for a while and felt out of breath.

After waiting here for about two days, Su Qingyan finally heard the sound of neat horses' hooves. She stood up happily, and her gaze happened to meet Mu Yuedan's bottomless eyes.

"Why did you get so much?" Mu Yuedan blamed as soon as she opened her mouth, then turned over and dismounted, wrapping the cloak on her body around Su Qingyan's back.

"Mu Yuedan, aren't you in the Western Regions? Why did you come here in person?

"I was patrolling the border half a month ago, and I happened to meet Xie Ying who came in a hurry, and after listening to her report on the situation, I immediately came with the army, how long have you been waiting here?"

"It won't be long before you, now that you've arrived, let's go into the woods at once." Su Qingyan didn't want to delay for a moment, and urged anxiously.

"Don't worry, I guess there are still people guarding the city gate, and it will definitely not be good to break in rashly."

"So what to do?" It's all here, you can't stand here, can you?

Mu Yuedan thought for a moment, then turned his head and summoned an old man with a long beard, "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you." ”

The old man who was called Mr. Zhao nodded, "Jun Su is too polite, this is what I should do." ”

He took a few steps forward and walked around the forest, seemingly casual, but in fact there were hidden mysteries everywhere. Su Qingyan frowned slightly, "Who is this Mr. Zhao?" ”

"He grew up in Beili since he was a child, and he is proficient in the art of power and scheming, so I specially invited him to the Western Regions to be the prime minister, stabilize the court for me, and keep an eye on the group of ill-intentioned ministers."

"If you leave from the north, are you sure it's credible?"

"Don't worry, I can't be wrong when I look at people."

"That's good." Mu Yuedan trusts this Mr. Zhao so much, and believes that he does have some ability.

After about a cup of tea, Mr. Zhao returned to them, "Junsu, this forest is still the same as it was a few decades ago, there is no change at all, the only difference is probably that the miasma inside is more intense." ”
