Squirrel is coming

According to the route plan, they still have two days to go to Qingzhou, that is, about two days of travel, and then they can enter the next state: Qianzhou, Ganzhou is closer to the sea than Qingzhou, and if you go one more state to the east, you may be able to see the sea.

Of course, although the main things in Cheongju have been completed, the incidental things and unexpected things still have to be solved, such as the Cheongju town guard and other officials who came to the inn to report their work, they must be received, so they can only postpone the departure time.

This Qingzhou town guard is the one promoted by the emperor before, and he is a person with great talent and ideas, but it is a pity that God seems to be joking with him to make such an incident, so that he can directly abort the plan of Qingzhou to become rich and strong, and now he is ashamed to report the situation to the emperor, after all, he also made a promise in front of the emperor before.

"Well, you've done a good job, material dispatch or something, I'll figure it out when I go back, if it's always like this. But it shouldn't be, the road to heaven and earth will always be solved. The emperor looked at the information he submitted and said slowly.

This person is actually no problem, and he is also suitable for guarding this position, but the luck is not good, well, this is also his creation, let him stay here and survive this disaster with the people of Qingzhou, he will definitely grow up afterwards, and if he is allowed to do so, he will arrange any suitable position for him, of course, if he is not allowed, he can only be considered unlucky.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The Cheongju town guard bowed gratefully, and his summary was to confess everything he knew, what he had done, what results he had achieved, and what disasters he had encountered, all in detail. After all, it is impossible to deceive yourself, the emperor has been in Qingzhou for a long time, how much information he knows is unknown, if he dares to adulterate, as long as he is discovered, his black gauze hat will be the end.

"Well, go down, remember to continue to maintain such an attitude, to be diligent, conscientious and conscientious for the people. The emperor waved his hand, when these people came, it happened to be when the store was still preparing food, and he had to meet him, and the store did not come to disturb during this time, but came to serve the food after the conversation.

The Qingzhou town guard agreed again and again, and then left with people, this time he also put his heart back in his stomach, and he could think of a plan to change the status quo with peace of mind, people will win the day, he doesn't feel that the current situation is unsolvable, although he can't find a clue, but he won't admit defeat.

The emperor looked at his back, and then focused his gaze on the meal in front of her, she was hungry.

"You seem to like him very much, he is very capable?" Tsuki asked in a low voice as she stood behind her.

"Oh, yes, he is the talent I found from the imperial examination, and he is quite good in all aspects, so I am relieved to hand over the question of Cheongju to him. The emperor nodded, then shouted a little louder, and said to Yue in a voice that could be heard by other people in the private room, "You sit down and serve me to eat." ”

This is an order and a reward, for the maid, although the moon is not really a maid, but in the case of courtiers, it is better to be more restrained, after all, after all, some emperors have a headache when the civil officials admonish them.

This meal is actually a simple reward for the adults who contributed to the ceremony, so as not to cause them to be tired of work, although if something goes wrong, they can be punished, but in case they deliberately make trouble in the ceremony, it is not good, so it is better to prevent it in advance.

Instead of remediating after the fact, it is better to prevent it in advance so that the problem does not occur.

This is the emperor's policy, somewhat conservative but easy to use, for a person who is afraid of trouble, this is enough.

The emperor was really tired, so he didn't bother to find a topic to chat with her courtiers, in fact, he didn't bother to find a place to chat, in fact, he didn't bother to find them, these people were out-and-out tools for her, and she herself was physically and mentally exhausted, how could she comfort them? As for the problems that need to be improved in the ritual of worshipping the heavens, the princess naturally told her after sorting it out, or directly notified the individual to rectify it, as his confidant, the prince has always done a good job in these things.

Yue Zhengdao gulped down food and drink, quickly resolved the battle, found an excuse to leave here, went to the store to cut a few catties of beef and mutton, and returned to his carriage with a few cakes and a pot of water.

In fact, he brought food to Shangguan Yi, and he couldn't let his gang eat and drink too much, leaving him in the carriage without eating or drinking. Although the royal dry food is a meat pie, and the taste is also excellent, but if you eat too much, you will panic. However, Shangguan Yi was still in another carriage at this time, so he couldn't eat it, and there was nothing he could do.

After a while, everyone who was full of food and drink came out of the inn with packages and got into the carriage, the itinerary was very tense, and I didn't know what would happen later, so I could speed up the process to save time, which was also the emperor's cautious and cautious psychology.

"Hmm...... What's wrong with you, you look like you've seen through the red dust, are you going to become a monk?" Yue looked at Shangguan Yi who was thinking silently, a little helpless, this guy is a very powerful teammate when he is normal, and it is also a headache to start a nerve.

"No, nothing. Shangguan Yi shook his head, then looked at the emperor without saying anything, and finally said: "I actually don't believe in the national fortune of the East China Sea, including the imperial tomb, the sword of the Son of Heaven, etc., but after seeing your performance in the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, I suddenly became confused, whether the national fortune of the East China Sea gave birth to you or is it just a coincidence, if it is ......"

"What if you were born in the East China Sea?" said the emperor with a slight smile. It is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to be praised and recognized by a genius.

"Hmm. Shangguan Yi turned his head a little stunned, he was reluctant to admit his weakness, this kind of xxx idea should not be what he really wanted, but after understanding the core officials of the East China Sea, the emperor of the East China Sea, he was still envious.

"Then stay in the East China Sea, at least your descendants don't have to have such thoughts?" Yue persuaded that if it was done here, the follow-up work might be easier.

"No, Yue, you're wrong, he's the kind of person who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, and so do you, you just don't think so. He has his own things on his back, so it's impossible for him to join. The emperor patted Yue's hand, and then said to Shangguan Yi: "I remember that Jun Yishen made a promise to you, right? That promise can be handed over to me to carry out, and if I win this battle, it will be regarded as a reward for you." ”

"That promise...... Are you sure?" Shangguan Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, that was the promise he made to help Jun Yishen persuade Yue Zhengdao to go back to get married, that is: On the premise of not harming the emperor, Shangguan Yi can ask him for help if he has any difficulties, and he will help with it. At that time, he felt that someone was eavesdropping, but he felt that if Huichen didn't seem to be very reasonable, it should be someone sent by the emperor, so he didn't care, and now it seems that he may have guessed it.

"Yes, without hurting Jun Yishen, if you have any needs, you can tell me, I will help you do it, don't embarrass him. The emperor said with certainty.

"Haha, well, I'm going to try to protect you. Shangguan Yi scratched his head, as if he had seen the benefits of his eyes. In fact, he behaved like this just to hide his feelings, because he seemed to understand the emperor's careful thoughts, the careful thoughts of his daughter's family: she likes Jun Yishen, so she doesn't want him to be embarrassed by this matter. After all, if something serious is done, and then processed by some coincidences, maybe the emperor doesn't mind, but Jun Yishen may not be able to sit down on the position of prime minister. This is not the result she wants to see, so she and Shangguan Yi said to transfer, let her do it, even if it is something with some traitorous factors in it, she dares to do it, do it secretly, even if it is known, there is a way to deal with and explain, this is the king's power.

"Okay, don't pretend, I've been with you for a few days, I don't know if you don't see the master of the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, just remember to keep it a secret." The emperor glared at him angrily.

"Mmmm, my mouth is so tight, no one will tell me. Shangguan Yi nodded like pounding garlic, who can afford to provoke, who can't afford to provoke, he knows this matter very well, not to mention that a friend's wife can't be bullied, although Jun Yishen's wife is difficult to marry, but he can marry, he doesn't think that guy can escape the emperor's palm, he still has better self-respect.

"Hmph, that's for the best. The emperor snorted with satisfaction, which can be regarded as the end of this topic.

"Na, I slipped away first, and Yue Zhengdao brought me food. Shangguan Yi found an excuse to run away and left the space for the two girls.

......

In this way, they drove for another day, and in the evening, they reached the key point of Cheongju.

The so-called key point is the place where the emperor is most likely to encounter an ambush, and this place in Cheongju is indeed suitable for ambushes.

This is a perennial mist of the mountain gorge, it is said that it is still a natural maze, although there is no dangerous beast infested, but it is the most suitable for ambush, but it is still a necessary place, if King Ning does not take advantage of it, he may be a pig.

In fact, the other party did not disappoint them, and made perfect use of the terrain here, coupled with the artificial maze and clue inducement, the final situation was that some of the guards even disappeared with the carriage they protected, and the main force of the team was still protecting the emperor's carriage.

"Now it's a general, what do you say, the emperor of the East China Sea?" Qi Qi came out of the fog with people, seemingly with a relaxed smile, the people he brought were still the ones before, but this time the people on the emperor's side were scattered, Jiu Xiao and Jiu were not there, and the balance of combat effectiveness would change, as for the ordinary soldiers, Qi Qi also brought some, anyway, the battle situation was quite bad.

"Don't be too confident, Aki. Yue got out of the carriage, looked at him coldly, and guarded the entrance of the carriage, apparently not intending to let people through.

"Do you really think you can stop us? Qi Qi said coldly, he knew that this person was very strong, but he should be able to fight her, right?

"Do you really think I can't kill you?" Tsuki said something quite kind.

"Then try it. Qi Qi waved his hand and asked his subordinates to charge forward, watching the moon's actions himself.

Yue leaned on the carriage indifferently, watching Wei Wu mobilize everyone to defend, very good scheduling, although the other party had two more masters of the Triple Heavens, but looking at the breath, it was a little unstable, and it should have suffered internal injuries, well, the credit of Jiu Yao and Jiu, so it was not too difficult to deal with.

"Whoosh"

An arrow shot out of the fog, straight to the position of Feng Li's heart, this is not an arrow shot by ordinary people, nor is it a mechanism, but an arrow shot by an archer who specializes in it, just like Shangguan Yi shot an arrow at the beginning, but Shangguan Yi relied on the best weapon, this one relied on internal strength and a good weapon.

The figure of the moon flickered slightly, and when she came to the path that the arrow must pass, she reached out and grabbed it directly, as if she was grasping a straw.

"Hidden arrows hurt people, is this your basis? It's really funny. Tsuki threw the arrow on the ground, and although he said it funny, he didn't smile at all. Now the matter is a bit serious, if they fight with Qiqi, they don't have time to care if the others are sneak attacked, even if they know that someone is hurting people with a secret arrow, they may not be able to dodge, what should they do, do you want to pull the one in the carriage out?

"Wow, what is this? Go away, go away, go away!

The screams suddenly sounded in the fog, as if they had been attacked by something, but they didn't see it clearly?

This sudden change made everyone stop, and although they couldn't see clearly, they still looked over there to see if anything or someone would come out.

The screams gradually subsided, and everyone knew that the person should be dead, but what about the murderous thing, is it gone?

Qi Qi frowned, he didn't have the same perception as Yue and Shangguan Yi, he only knew that it was a very fast thing there, was it a human or an animal? Could it be that the words of a human being were too fast and outrageous? Animals had never heard of it...... No, there are still some of them, the rumored spirit seed of Cheongju, the gray squirrel seems to be able to reach such a speed.

Yue's expression became solemn and he muttered, "It seems that this place has been used as its hunting ground." (If it did, would it be friend or foe?)

When the scream sounded for the second time, Qi Qi ordered a retreat, there was no way not to retreat, the ability of the gray squirrel is to break the defense and high speed, it looks nothing, but after the speed reaches the point where it is almost impossible to defend against dodge, plus teeth, claws can break through the internal force defense, it is not too easy to kill people, the two people who died are very elite subordinates, after all, there are not many specialized archers, and if there are too many losses, he is also distressed.
