The cold is not good, or is there only one watch...... Let's see if I can work hard tomorrow, and ask for a collection and red ticket comfort......

--------------------------------

After Hai Rui left, Fang Ziqing sat alone in the stone pavilion, looking stunned and falling into deep thought. A conversation with Hai Rui made her feel tired. The process of dialogue between the two was extremely fortunate, not because it seemed that it was fast, but because both sides were fighting in secret. That is, they are talking about the past and the present, talking about the old friendship, and expressing each other's attitudes and positions between words and deeds, smiles and sighs.

Although the Chengzhou royal family is already dying, it is much inferior to the honor of the Quansheng period, but it is still a man-devouring beast. And Hai Rui, as an immortal real person, is not simple, and it should not be underestimated. Between the two people and organizations with their own extraordinary strength, they cautiously tested each other, and after some secret fighting, the two sides finally reached a certain consensus:

In the fierce battle between Cheng Zhou and the Zong Zhou royal family, Hai Rui was not an obstacle to the revenge of the Cheng Zhou royal family, and even because of the friendship between the forty-eighth generation young monarch Ji Yi and him, he also showed an attitude in favor of the Cheng Zhou royal family in neutrality - at least he had a certain amount of goodwill towards Fang Xing, the bloodline heir of the later generation of the Cheng Zhou royal family.

As an immortal, it is enough for him to have this attitude!

As soon as Hai Rui left, the pressure in Fang Ziqing's heart was relaxed, and good news, bad news, and various trends of thought came back to her heart, so that her mind could not stop for a moment.

One moment it was the variables brought to Dongping by the invasion of the Blood Sea Flame Prison, and the other moment it was the huge pressure brought by the secret dragon guard of the Zong Zhou royal family, and all kinds of worries and sorrows were mixed together, turning her thoughts into chaos. In the dark, there always seems to be something wrong, which is secretly bothering her and making it difficult for her to be calm.

"What the hell is it?" She pondered, and her gaze went to the courtyard.

……

The violent earthquake just now lasted only a few breaths, and the earth quickly returned to peace. Only a few dilapidated houses that have been shaken down by the earthquake, and the noisy sounds that have not yet subsided, prove that none of this is unreal.

In the courtyard, many children have calmed down from the initial excitement, and under the leadership of Sisi, they have resumed their daily morning exercises.

Although the hands and feet of these children are moving stroke by stroke according to the appearance of morning exercises, Fang Ziqing can clearly see that the excitement between these children's eyebrows has not yet dissipated. At this moment, most of them are distracted, the so-called morning exercise is just pretending, and even Sisi also looks like he has other thoughts, and the exercise significance of morning exercise has long been gone.

When Fang Ziqing saw it, she couldn't help but be amused. She is not strictly strict and respectful, and when she sees it, she just smiles and laughs, and does not reprimand her. After all, these children have endured a lot of hardships, and now that life is just getting better, they are about to plunge into a deadly vortex......

In a certain corner of her heart, Fang Ziqing still often feels uneasy about her conscience because of her impure kindness and good deeds. However, the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chengzhou royal family cannot be abandoned, and the cause of her beloved son needs these people to add branches and leaves, which she must do and do well.

Between the trade-offs, she can only let these children spend a happier childhood. After all, it is far better to adopt these children, let them have a warm bed, be able to eat delicious things, and let them grow up happy and free from suffering than to let them die early in some unknown corner, either because of hunger and cold, or because they are bullied!

A warmth from motherhood came up, and Fang Ziqing smiled and said to the children in the courtyard: "Okay, you guys! Don't pretend. Let's go down and play, and I'll give you more food today. ”

"Oooo

"yes yes!"

"Okay! Okay, finally ready to play! The children, who had long been half-hearted and distracted, heard Fang Ziqing's words, and still heard the sound of heaven, and immediately cheered and dispersed.

Even Sisi, who supervised their homework, ran away with a flush of excitement on her face - after all, the boring morning class was not as fun as playing with her peers, and didn't you have a meal today?

Children who have suffered so much know that nothing is more real and reassuring than the pieces of meat in the bowl and the eggs in the stomach.

……

Fang Ziqing saw the smiles on the children's faces, and her heart was also warm. Holidays, extra meals, and the children's innocent smiles, everything in front of them seems to show that everything is okay and the world is peaceful. However, if everything really does look like this – so good.

She gave herself a vacation, and her thoughts loosened a little in the laughter of the children. Before, the faint uneasiness in my mind suddenly surfaced - it turned out that in the link of Ding Pulang, the king of flowers and horses, there were some worrisome signs.

When Fang Ziqing and Hai Rui were talking, they were highly nervous. Both sides try to keep an eye out for each other's movements. From words and deeds to the slightest wrinkles and tremblings.

She now vividly remembers that when she said that she had sent a letter to Dingplon with the Sun-Chasing Dragon Eagle, the corners of Hai Rui's mouth twitched subconsciously.

Fang Ziqing knows very well: this is the subconscious action when he expresses his dissatisfaction.

Although Hai Rui's mind was not explicitly stated, she knew it after thinking about it. He was dissatisfied with her behavior of not sending reliable people to handle this matter, but casually letting the Sun-Chasing Dragon Eagle send letters.

……

The "Peony Xiangzhai" formed by the surviving members of the Chengzhou royal family is an old organization. Although since its establishment, it has been strongly suppressed by the secret dragon guard of the royal family of Zongzhou, but for hundreds of years, it has been deeply rooted, and its power has spread all over the world.

Fang Ziqing, as the forty-eighth generation peony in "Peony Xiangzhai", naturally has a high status, and he also has a lot of authority in the organization. There are many loyal guards trained by "Peony Xiangzhai" by her side, serving her and guarding her safety.

These people were the two black-robed shadow guards that Fang Chuanwu and Fang Xing had seen before. They are all dead soldiers cultivated by Fang Ziqing and the "Peony Xiangzhai" behind her for many years, and they are extremely loyal, and their cultivation is as high as the acquired grandmaster. Usually mingles in the Fang family in the name of the Fang family's shadow guard, mainly responsible for protecting Fang Ziqing's safety, and according to Fang Ziqing's orders, doing some important things like contacting other members of the "Peony Xiangzhai".

It is difficult to cultivate a top-level loyal guard like the Grandmaster the Day After Tomorrow, and the "Peony Xiangzhai" has a big business, so there are even more places that need to be used. Even if a lot of talents have been cultivated in the past few hundred years, but a big net is cast, and there are only two or three people around Fang Ziqing.

However, her identity was secret before, and it was inconvenient to put a lot of centaurs around her. Moreover, although there are only two or three acquired grandmasters around, under the protection of the family, there are still two or three acquired grandmasters directly under her who can be mobilized, and the usual matters are enough to be at ease.

It's just that Fang Xing suddenly stepped into the path of Qi refining and cultivation before, and the heir of the royal bloodline of Chengzhou was born again, which caught Fang Ziqing off guard, and the people around her were all sent by her to do other important things. There was no reliable person to deliver a message to the king of the horses, Dingplang.

Let others send it, either the strength is not enough to break through the dangers of the border pass, or the loyalty is not enough, so she can't rest assured. Therefore, Fang Ziqing simply asked the daily dragon eagle to deliver the letter.

When she did this at the time, she thought there seemed to be no problem, but after Hai Rui's experience afterwards, she thought about it again and realized that it was very inappropriate.

Although the Sun-Chasing Dragon Eagle is small and agile, and its flight speed is extremely fast, there are few people in the world who can catch it, but on the grassland, all kinds of creatures have never lacked natural enemies. What if there is a three-long and two-short and the letter is missing?

Although the Sun-Chasing Dragon Eagle is a good choice, in such an important matter, it is still safe and reliable to send an acquired Grandmaster. Even if something goes wrong, you can still respond in time, how can you just sit back and wait like now!

For the first time, Fang Ziqing felt a little regretful for her actions. She thought: This may be because of the recent pressure. After all, the matter of the only child under her knees is too important to her, and she can't let go of any negligence......

It's just that the water is hard to recover, and she can only secretly hope that Ding Pulang will not make any mistakes now.

There weren't many old courtiers around the young monarch back then; A number of people were killed in the battle on the shores of Myeonghu Lake in Jeju; After many years of pursuit and killing by the royal family of Zongzhou, another batch was lost. The veterans who have been tested by wind and rain for a long time, the withered withered, the deceased...... It's not very sad to think about it.

"Ding Pulang, Ding Pulang, you must not forget the young gentleman's entrustment back then. When the wind and rain come, you need to hold the rudder, and the horse thief force outside the town will pave the way for my son's future......"

Fang Ziqing looked at the north from afar, and where she couldn't reach it, it was the vast prairie outside Dongping.

……

……

Outside of Dongping, in the savage prairie, a simple tent camp.

Even though it was spring, the cold wind on the grassland was still strong. The cold wind howled, like a knife and a sword, and it was a hole in the face.

At this moment, hundreds of people were sitting around several bonfires, trembling with the heat of the flames to fight against the cold demons on the grassland, while staring at the pieces of meat that were roasting on the flames.

The golden pieces of meat, although there are no spices, but under the background of salt, they also exude a strong fragrance, which attracts the mouth. A few drops of grease also fell from the meat from time to time, pressing it into the flames, and suddenly a heat wave was stirred......

'Woo...... 呲......'

In this way, hundreds of horse thieves in tattered clothes, their eyes turned up and down with the rise and fall of the flames and the repeated tossing and turning of the roasted meat. These people's eyes were fixed on the campfire, as if they were scratched by a thousand rats, and they did not dare to act rashly without an order. It's hard to sit still, but there's nothing to do.

These people are the weakest and lowest-ranking horse thieves, most of them are just some barbarians with a little martial arts, and their status is barely better than the cannon fodder strong men who have been caught. Some of the higher ranks of the horse thieves hid in their tents to enjoy the food roasted with spices, as well as spirits and beauties in this freezing weather.

Although most of the horse thieves who have reached this level have already practiced qi refining and are not afraid of the cold wind on the grassland, having an independent camp is a status symbol in the group of horse thieves.

The higher the status, the bigger and more ornate the tent, this is the common agreement in the trade of horse thieves, which is clear at a glance, everyone abides by it, and cannot be overcome.

In the camp here, surrounded by heavy tents, in the largest and most ornate tent, there is a strong man with a big sword and a golden horse, holding a meat fork and a small piece of meat on it, roasting it by the bonfire. With a focused expression, it seems like another body art or something.

Looking at the piece of meat again, although it has been disemboweled, it has been disemboweled, and it has been cleanly processed, but if you pay attention to it, you can still see that it was vaguely a bird before its death......
