Chapter 004: The Unknown Way

As Qingchen left the capital of the Celestial Star Kingdom, the Celestial Star Kingdom seemed to have returned to its former calm, but no one would know what happened in the imperial study of the Celestial Star Palace that day.

When the commander of the Royal Forest Army, who was knocked unconscious by Mingyue's whip, woke up, he saw Mu Qingjue standing in front of him in a dignified manner, although he looked a little haggard, but his hands and feet were intact, and he didn't look like he saw before.

According to Mu Qingjue's explanation, the three people who broke into the palace just now were just a misunderstanding, and they didn't break his hands and feet as the Royal Forest Army saw, but just impulsively dislocated him, and picked him up again when he left.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army saw that the well-behaved Mu Qingjue was in front of him, so he was convinced of this statement, so the others had no reason to suspect anything, but no one knew that the real Mu Qingjue had already broken his hands and feet and was placed under house arrest.

The Zhaoyang Palace of the Heavenly Star Country, a place that was once very prosperous, became a veritable cold palace after Lu Qiao was convicted of miscarriage, because Mu Qingjue put Lu Qiao under house arrest and made her unable to come out for life, but Lu Qiao never thought that the change would come so soon, and it was so shocking.

The ability of the people in the Star Picking Tower should not be underestimated, not to mention that there is a lotus leaf by Lu Qiao's side, with the lotus leaf and the internal and external cooperation of the guests from the east, it is easy to conceal Mu Qingjue's affairs, so there are actually two emperors in this seemingly calm Tianxing Kingdom Palace.

The real emperor and Lu Qiao were under house arrest in Zhaoyang Palace together, and there were people from the Star Tower and visitors from the east who were hidden in the dark, either monitoring or protecting, but the stand-in sat on the dragon chair in a grand manner, obeying Qingchen's orders, and playing the role of Mu Qingjue.

Mingyue's ability to do things is obvious to all, so Qingchen is not worried that Mu Qingjue's matter will be noticed at all, so she took Zhiyu alone and rushed to southern Xinjiang non-stop.

The night before entering the southern Xinjiang territory, the two changed their clothes and dressed up as southern Xinjiang people, and then they entered southern Xinjiang with some peace of mind.

Although the southern Xinjiang is small and very closed, outsiders are easy to recognize at a glance, but there are many mountains in southern Xinjiang, and some southern Xinjiang people who like to escape from the world live in the mountains, and do not come out once a year, only when southern Xinjiang holds large-scale sacrificial activities, or when there is a lack of daily necessities, they only come out once. Therefore, Qingchen and their outfits can also hide people's eyes and ears for a while.

In her previous life, when she was still Ye Chengcheng, her energy was focused on fighting against the Heavenly Star Kingdom and preventing the invasion of Mobei, and she didn't know much about the previously unknown Southern Xinjiang, so this time she entered the Southern Xinjiang with Zhu Yu, and she actually had a lot of uncertainty in her heart.

Fortunately, in the previous few days in the capital of Tianxing Kingdom, she had asked Mingyue to show her all the information about Southern Xinjiang collected by Xingxinglou, plus she had worked hard to provoke the internal struggle between Nie Xinyao and Nie Menghua in the past, so she was not ignorant of Southern Xinjiang, but had a certain understanding.

"Miss, it's been three or four days since we entered southern Xinjiang, and the road has been unimpeded, and nothing unbelievable has happened, it seems that ...... We overestimate southern Xinjiang, maybe southern Xinjiang is not as terrible as the legend says. Grip Yu followed Qingchen's side, his eyes swept around, and then spoke.

"Southern Xinjiang is not as simple as you seem on the surface, you don't take it lightly, maybe some inconspicuous person, a passerby passing by you, is a master of Gu and may take your life at any time without you knowing. Qingchen was not as optimistic as Shuyu, but he was always on guard and reminded him.

After listening to Qingchen's words, Shuyu restrained the contempt in his eyes, and like Qingchen, he cheered up and continued to hurry.

"Childe, where are we going now?, do you want to find Ye Di and Luo Xiaohou first?" After a long time, Zhan Yu seemed to remember something, so he asked.

"They must be looking for it, but not now, what we have to do now is to inquire about Xiao Yi's whereabouts and make sure he is safe and sound. Qingchen said, "If I guessed correctly, there are not many people who have this qualification in Southern Xinjiang, provide Xiao Ling with all convenience, and can cooperate with Xiao Ling, they are nothing more than those from the royal family in Southern Xinjiang, so we must be right to go to the capital of Southern Xinjiang now." ”

"The royal family of Southern Xinjiang, isn't it the Empress and the Regent of Southern Xinjiang? The previous battle made both the Empress and the Regent very angry, and they have not moved for a long time, but I didn't expect that they are still restless now. Ji Yu said, with an indignant expression on his face.

Qingchen's eyes turned slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart.

At the beginning, the empress and the regent of southern Xinjiang had a huge disagreement because of the death of Nie Menghua, and the apparent peace was broken, and the two finally tore their faces, and southern Xinjiang fell into a civil war. Although all of this was designed by Qingchen in order to set Gu Yanzhao up, this incident also contributed to several consequences.

First, southern Xinjiang is still divided by several major forces, the empress and the regent are incompatible, and there is a mysterious national teacher watching from it. Second, Gu Yanzhao and the regent had reached a secret agreement, and although this matter was finally settled, it also made the empress dislike Xiao Ling.

Judging from the above two points, first of all, the possibility of cooperation between the empress and Xiao Ling can be ruled out, and the power of the regent is not yet so big that his hands and eyes are up to the sky, and he must be cautious in southern Xinjiang, let alone stretch out his hand to the sky and the moon and the moon, or even so far away from Mobei.

Therefore, Qingchen can be sure that the person who has a connection with Xiao Ling must be the mysterious Southern Xinjiang National Teacher Yu.

With this idea, Qingchen made up his mind to go to the capital of southern Xinjiang, because Yu Wuyuan's mansion and base camp were in the capital of southern Xinjiang, and Xiao Yi might also be there, maybe Zhao Ruofei, who was taken away, would also be there.

With the goal, the two of them sped up, and they did not encounter any obstacles, so they advanced unimpeded, from entering the southern border to reaching the capital of southern Xinjiang, but it took seven or eight days.

The capital of southern Xinjiang is different from other places, because this is the only place in southern Xinjiang where there are slightly more people, strictly speaking, visible people. Because of other small places in southern Xinjiang, many people stay at home, raising Gu or delving into the witchcraft that has been passed down for thousands of years in southern Xinjiang, and few people come out and walk around like the people in the capital.

The more people there are, the easier it is to inquire about the news, but it also means that Qingchen and Zhanyu are more likely to be exposed.

"Childe, should we find a place to live first, and then take action?" said in a low voice.

Qingchen nodded slightly and said, "This is natural, at least we should inquire clearly, what is the situation of all this now." ”

After saying this, Qingchen walked towards an inn.

The two found an inn and stayed after paying two silver taels, because they didn't want to attract the attention of others, for fear of being seen that they had plans to stay for a long time, so they only paid for three days to hide people's eyes.

When she told Qingchen about this, Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, very pleased. Because now Huai Jin is becoming more and more cautious. She used to think that Huai Jin and Zhan Yu complement each other's temperament, one is still and one is moving, one is smart and the other is careful, but Ruijin seems that Huai Jin and Zhan Yu are just showing in different ways.

After going through so many things, Huai Jin became more and more thoughtful, catching up with Ye Xi at the beginning, and Shuyu became more calm and delicate, on par with the previous Huai Jin.

However, because there are fewer outsiders in southern Xinjiang, there are fewer inns, and after three days, they will have to find another place to live, if they live in all the inns in southern Xinjiang in a short period of time, I am afraid it will also arouse the suspicion of others, but at this time, Qingchen is quite satisfied with the practice of holding Yu.

Because it is in southern Xinjiang, a place full of mystery and crisis, Qingchen and Zhanyu are not separated, but live in the same room.

The rush of the past few days has made both of them a little tired, especially Qingchen, although her martial arts skills are higher than that of Zhan Yu, but the poison in her body has just been resolved, and when she was making trouble in the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, she hit Mu Qingjue heavily because of her anger, and her body was a little weak for a while, so after entering the room, the two rested.

It's just that Qingchen didn't know at this moment that from the moment she entered the southern Xinjiang, her whereabouts had been targeted, and the other party followed quietly, but she didn't notice it at all.

At the same time, somewhere in the capital of southern Xinjiang, a relatively dark secret room, the candlelight is dim, and the light is uncertain, but if you look closely, you can also see the situation in this secret room.

There was nothing in the chamber except a door and a stone bed, and now there was a man lying on the stone bed, his eyes quietly closed, his face pale and without a trace of blood, and he looked like a lifeless doll.

This person was none other than Xiao Yi, who was taken away by Xiao Ling from the Ningyue Palace.

It stands to reason that Qingchen had already set off from Ningyue Capital, passed through Tianxing and then transferred to Mobei, but Xiao Ling took Xiao Yi away after Qingchen left Kyoto, counting the days, it should be Qingchen who arrived in southern Xinjiang one step ahead of Xiao Ling, but when Qingchen passed through Tianxing, because he heard that Xiao Yi was taken away, he delayed a few days in order to solve Mu Qingjue, so he came late.

"Tell my master that she has come. Another voice rang out in the chamber, hoarse, with an unspeakable hint of fear.

After following the sound, I found that there was not only Xiao Yi lying on the bed in this secret room, but also a man in a black robe, he lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the name of another person behind him, it showed that he was the master here, and the idea of kidnapping Xiao Yi was only from him.

"Ye Chengcheng...... Mu Qingchen...... I want to see how she can change her destiny......" The black-robed man spoke lightly, with a hint of elegance and seriousness in his voice, not angry and arrogant.
