Xiu Yuan saw that Yu Qing was becoming more and more presumptuous, so he interrupted her and said, "How did you end up here?"

Sure enough, Yu Qing was taken by her like this, and her originally relaxed expression suddenly became depressed, "Yes, we have all fallen into this situation." Yiqi and General Lie didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they didn't know if the news of our attack had been transmitted back to the imperial capital, let alone who attacked us that day. ”

Xuan Che was eating the white fungus soup he had just served, and asked, "We were attacked?"

Yu Qing's eyes were already shining with tears, she nodded and said, "Yes, General Lie asked Yiqi to take me and the eldest princess to go first, and he and the generals were left alone to fight the enemy." We ran for a while, and we were trapped by someone using sorcery. Iki went to break the formation, and when we fell into the river, I heard him call us, and he should be fine. ”

Xuan Che listened to her words, a little puzzled, and asked, "You say that I am the eldest princess of the Xi Kingdom?"

Yu Qing nodded.

Hyun Che asked again, "Then what kind of place is this?"

Yu Qing shook his head, "I don't know, but we have already entered the border of Cai State at that time, and we should be in Cai Country now." ”

Xiu Yuan corrected lightly, "You have drifted from the upper reaches of the Nu River for a day and a night, and now you have arrived in the territory of the Chu State, which is the Taoyuan County of the Chu State. ”

Yu Qing listened to his words, opened his eyes wide, and said, "We have arrived in the Chu State, and we have drifted along the Nu River to the Chu State?"

Xiu Yuan nodded.

Xuan Che ignored Yu Qing's question, and continued to ask, "Then what am I going to Cai Guo to do alone?" he said and drank the white fungus soup in the bowl in one gulp, then handed the bowl to Xiu Yuan, and motioned for him to pour another bowl for himself.

When Yu Qing heard Xuan Che's question, her expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and she stammered, "Your Majesty sent you to Cai Guohe." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was not only Xuan Che, but also the source of cultivation. He has been in the lower realm for ten years and has been the monarch of Chu for eight years, and he also has a slight understanding of the situation between the three kingdoms. This Chu State Xi Guo Cai State, are from the Xi Dynasty split from the year, after the split, the Xi Dynasty is the Xi State, the national strength is the strongest, Chu State is located in the south of the Yangtze River, although the area is not large, but the land is fertile, the transportation is convenient, and the national strength is not weak. In recent years, the State of Xi has continued to grow and develop, and has faintly revealed its willingness to reclaim the southwest and Jiangnan, and the State of Chu can resist under this pressure, but Cai Guo can no longer stand the pressure of the Northern Emperor of the State of Xi, and slowly move the center further south. Now the strength and weakness are obvious, and it is only a matter of time before the three kingdoms go to war. But what does it mean that the Northern Emperor sent the eldest princess to make peace, could it be that he is used to living a peaceful life and is unwilling to fight between the north and the south? No, Xiu Yuan immediately denied this view, he had a relationship with that mortal, it was the year of Yuanping, the newly appointed eldest grandson of the Northern Emperor Wuji led his troops to attack Cai Wenjun, at that time he was still the eldest son of Chu Hou, and his father in the world took him to negotiate peace, and he saw the Northern Emperor from this. Although the man looks gentle, he has ambition and domineering in his eyes that can't be hidden, and he can be regarded as a majestic figure. He would not be so appeased to himself and Cai Wenjun, it was only a matter of time before he attacked. He went to Taoyuan County this time to discuss the alliance with Cai Wenjun, if he was willing to agree to the alliance, he would come to Nujiang with himself to see him, if he was unwilling, he would ......

Cai Wenjun is also a smart person, he dared to stand up as a monarch at the beginning, he must have some courage, and he will definitely not refuse his request. It's just that his envoy has been sent for seven or eight days, but he still hasn't received a reply, which makes Xiu Yuan a little anxious.

Xuan Che heard Yu Qing say that his father sent him to kiss, he was also stunned, and asked, "Didn't you say that I was stupid before, why would they let me go to kiss?"

Yu Qing shook his head, "I don't know why, this matter is very secret, I only found out after I left, and Your Majesty didn't even tell my mother." But also, if Your Majesty tells Niangniang, she will definitely not let you come to this ghost place to kiss. ”

Xuan Che's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "The queen's mother, that is, my mother, does she love me very much?"

Yu Qing said seriously: "It's not just a pain, it's just a pet, and I can't be petted anymore." The children she gave birth to later don't look like their own compared to you. ”

Xuan Che was originally unfazed in his heart, but after listening to her words, there was a trace of warmth in his heart, and for some reason, he actually smiled at the corner of his mouth. Xiu Yuan saw that there was a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and the evil and cold color in her eyes was a little less, and a little clearer, such a faint and warm smile made people unable to take their eyes off. It seemed that she had never laughed like this before. Xiu Yuan felt that it was very strange for him to have such an idea, obviously he and she had only met for the first time in the Demon Realm, and he didn't talk much, and the conversation was not deep, but every time he saw her, he always felt like he had known her for a long time and was very familiar. Even if she naturally let herself serve her tea and water, he couldn't raise the slightest disgust. He always felt that it seemed natural for him to take care of her.

Yu Qing looked at her carefully, and said enviously, "The eldest princess and the queen mother are exactly the same, but the queen mother has a gentle and delicate temperament, and the eldest princess has a faint expression, with a hint of evil look." After speaking, she looked at Xuan Che cautiously and asked, "The eldest princess won't be angry, right?" ”

Xuan Che shook his head and said lightly, "No." ”

Yu Qing was about to say something, but was interrupted by the guards who rushed over outside, and the guards entered the house, bowed down and said, "Childe, there is an urgent report." ”

When Xiu Yuan heard this, he followed the guards to the hall of the post station, and at this time, Li Lin, the secretary of the military department, and Chu Yu, the secretary of the household department, were already waiting in the hall. When the two of them saw Xiu Yuan coming, they immediately leaned over and saluted: "Your Majesty, now there are two urgent reports from the Ministry of War, and Lord Chu and I can't deal with them, so I urgently called you over to discuss them together." ”

Xiu Yuan motioned for the two of them to get up, and said lightly, "But there's news from Cai Guo?"

Li Lin and Chu Yu got up and glanced at each other, and then Li Lin said respectfully, "The military supplies, grain and grass and other items prepared by Chu Yu, the head of the household department, have been accepted by Emperor Cai Ling, the monarch of Cai Guojun, and he also wrote back to agree to form an alliance, but he mentioned in his letter that now he has a complicated affair in the court and cannot come here, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Xiu Yuan said lightly: "Then what does he do as a guarantee?"

Chu Yu said, "Emperor Cai Ling sent a map of Wangjiang County to show his sincerity. ”

Before Xiu Yuan could speak, Li Lin continued, "I received another urgent report early this morning, but it was about Xiguo. At this point, he stopped.

Xiu Yuan picked up Biluochun on the table, took a sip, and said lightly, "Isn't it that Xiguo has already made any moves?"

A trace of depression flashed in Li Lin's eyes, and he nodded, "Your Majesty really expected things like a god, the border monarch of Xi State has already been dispatched, and early this morning, Dujiangyan, which attacked Cai Guo in the dark, has already broken the city." ”

Xiu Yuan's hand paused, "Dujiangyan generals have surrendered?" Dujiangyan is close to the Nu River, which is the border of Cai and a military stronghold. The people of Cai Xi and the two countries have to enter and exit from Dujiangyan, so the importance of Dujiangyan is naturally self-evident, but this Dujiangyan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If this Dujiangyan hadn't been a traitor, it would never have been broken so easily.
