Chapter 179 Anxiety
Said to wait a few days before leaving, He Xi told Zhuo Ran to send troops to Yuzhou as soon as possible while eating, and set off that night.

Zhuo Ran leaned against the wall of the carriage, Wei Xun didn't expect He Xi's speed to be so fast, Zhuo Ran had just planned for the follow-up, He Xi seemed to have guessed Zhuo Ran's thoughts, and was ready soon , did not give them a chance to breathe.

As soon as Wei Xun left Tuzhou, he panicked. Zishatang would cut off contact with him. No matter what happened before, this kind of situation would never happen. Something must have happened to Zishatang.He knew that Zhuo Ran would definitely be able to guess it, but Zhuo Ran never said anything, and he was too embarrassed to chase after Zhuo Ran to ask, after all, how to keep those people in Yuzhou safe and sound is the most important thing now.

If He Xi finds out that Zhuo Ran is lying to him, he will probably become even crazier and even murderous.

Zhuo Ran was completely gambling this time, and Nie Hanshan was obviously unreliable.Wei Xun sighed deeply, and when he noticed Zhuo Ran's gaze, he raised his eyes and said softly for a moment of silence: "Girl, if something happens, the girl just leaves, Wei Xun will definitely protect the girl from hurting her hair."

Zhuo Ran shook her head with a smile: "Didn't I tell you not to be so pessimistic? It's still some time before I arrive in Yuzhou, and the world will always change."

Wei Xun still frowned: "But I'm still worried about the girl's safety."

"At this time, safety is not important anymore." Zhuo Ran said softly, "Okay, Wei Xun, you and I will live and die together now, and I will naturally not let you go into danger alone, don't worry .”

Wei Xun could only nod his head.

Zhuo Ran stretched out her fingers to open the curtains of the car, He Xi seemed very impatient, the carriage was going fast, Zhuo Ran looked to the back of the team, and found that He Xi took away a lot of people, but they all looked tall and big, Not at all like He Xi's own people.Zhuo Ran knew that He Xi must have a bargaining chip if he was so anxious. What she heard Gu Qiang said that night meant that Gu Qiang could send some people to He Xi to help him, but Zhuo Ran didn't know who the person who was trading with He Xi was who.

If it succeeds this time, it will also help Li Yanchuan deal with some ancient Qiang people.

Zhuo Ran clenched the curtain tightly, Wei Xun frowned slightly: "What's wrong, girl?"

"I was just thinking," Zhuo Ran paused, put down the curtain, and said softly, "We went to Yuzhou, if Zishatang can get in touch, then let them take Tuzhou for us. If so , we must defeat He Xi in Yuzhou."

Wei Xun nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I will find a chance to contact Big Brother and the others again."

Zhuo Ran tightened her cloak, she leaned back on the pillow, and said softly: "You have been calling for so long, big brother, are you still going to tell me who he is?"

Wei Xun was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately stuttered, unable to complete a sentence.Zhuo Ran was amused by him, and said: "I'm not asking for a crime, and I don't want to inquire about any secrets. Why are you so nervous? Besides, shouldn't the Zisha Hall belong to me? I don't even have the right to know about it?"

"No, no," Wei Xun hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't. It's just that I didn't make it clear. Brother doesn't like me talking about him. He said he wants to talk to the girl face to face. Don't let me talk too much."

Zhuo Ran smiled lightly: "You listen to your elder brother very much."

Wei Xun scratched his head: "Actually, it's not true. Before I met the girl, Zisha Hall really listened to the elder brother. Now that I have a girl, I naturally have to obey the girl's orders."

"Forget it," Zhuo Ran didn't want to force him to speak out when he saw his embarrassment, "I will ask him in person in the future. By the way, Wei Xun, how much do you know about the ancient Qiang people these years? He Xi said Yu Jing The queen has a very close relationship with the ancient Qiang, so Zisha Hall must also have a connection with the ancient Qiang, what do you know?"

Wei Xun shook his head: "To be honest, girl, since the Zisha Hall was sent by Emperor Nanhuan to protect Empress Yu Jing, it must not have any connection with the ancient Qiang people. In fact, the ancient Qiang people also had estrangements. Emperor Nanhuan wanted peace, but the ancient Qiang people did not want it. It must be very difficult for Empress Yu Jing to be caught in the middle."

Zhuo Ran closed her eyes: "Embarrassing? Empress Yu Jing is the princess of Xianling, and Argus is the leader of Xianling. They must be related by blood. Argus' wolfish ambition Queen Yu Jing will not be unaware. If she wants peace , I will definitely tell Emperor Nanhuan to take precautions. I don’t know what happened, but one thing I understand is that Empress Yu Jing has something to hide from Emperor Nanhuan, and Argus at the same time.”

Wei Xun said softly: "Argus is Agamula's elder brother. Queen Yu Jing only needs to be called Agus Muduzhi. Although Queen Yu Jing is the princess of Xianling tribe, she is only in Argus Before becoming Mutus."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhuo Ran opened his eyes, Wei Xun sighed, and said: "The girl didn't listen to what He Xi said that day. Argus had a grudge against Queen Yu Jing, and Agus Mudu's position was to steal Queen Yu Jing's position." brother."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "Didn't you just say that you didn't know?"

"I..." Wei Xun blinked, "I just forgot in a hurry. But girl, Empress Yu Jing is a good person. She always wants Gu Qiang and Dayu to be peaceful. She has no selfish intentions."

Zhuo Ran said: "These are not important. What I am sure of now is that whether it is Argus or Agamula, the ancient Qiang must not fall into their hands. Speaking of which, Aghmula also has some connection with Chi Yue." When Chi gets closer, you have to tell him about it."

Wei Xun's eyes lit up when Zhuo Ran mentioned Li Yuchuan: "Girl, will Lord Hou come to help us this time?"

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you think that Lord Hou was meddling before, but now you are so looking forward to his coming?"

"I didn't," Wei Xun lowered his head, "I dare not."

Zhuo Ran smiled, touched the bracelet, but then sighed deeply: "If...if he can really come."

Zhuo Ran had a lot to say to him, but after thinking about it, she found that she didn't seem to have anything to say, but she just missed Li Yuchuan.Counting the days, the Chinese New Year is only two days away, and it is so fast.

Seeing that Zhuo Ran hadn't spoken for a long time, Wei Xun knew that she was thinking about Li Yuchuan, so he was very sensible and didn't disturb her.The carriage in front belonged to He Xi, and there were some beauties besides He Xi, and there were a few laughs from time to time, with rippling endings and sticky timbre, Zhuo Ran couldn't help frowning.

"Going to Yuzhou is a big deal," Wei Xun wanted to cover his ears, "How can he deal with it so easily? How do you deal with these people? They are all women."

"Why are you worrying about this?" Zhuo Ran couldn't help laughing out, "Since He Xi dares to do this, let him do it, and we'll just watch from behind."

***
Gu Zhao was careful and asked Xiong Zhenghao for a letter just in case.When Xiyu left, he was still wondering why Gu Zhao did this, but now he finally knows the reason.

They were originally going to Yongzhou, but just after they left Dingbei Pass, they heard that Zhuo Ran was assassinated in Yuzhou and fled to He Xi in Tuzhou. Gu Zhao was a little afraid, who in Yuzhou could assassinate Zhuo Ran, besides, Zhuo Ran is very important now, if something really happened, Li Yanchuan would definitely be furious.

But fortunately, they met Meng Weidao as soon as they approached Yuzhou.Gu Zhao didn't dare to believe him at first, Meng Weidao directly took out the correspondence between Zhuo Ran and them, and Gu Zhao was relieved.Meng Weidao was very happy to see Xiong Zhenghao's handwriting, and immediately put everyone into Yuzhou City.

Meng Weidao was very experienced. He put the imperial army into the city at night without any news.Zhuo Ran asked Meng Weidao to form a garrison as soon as possible. Although Meng Weidao had such experience, it was still a bit troublesome to do it. Gu Zhao and Xi Yu came, and he saved a lot of energy.

Wei Zhuang has been spreading the news, saying that Yuzhou sent Princess Nanxiang to Tuzhou, trying to divert other people's attention.Meng Weidao and Gu Zhao finished talking about the garrison and took him into the mansion.

Xiyu and Wei Zhuang were still discussing things, and the spies came to report that He Xi had already led troops towards Yuzhou.Before Taoist Mengwei came in, he said: "The princess must have a way, we just need to guard Yuzhou well."

Wei Zhuang straightened up, frowned and said, "But I'm still worried about the safety of the princess, what should I do if something goes wrong."

Meng Weidao took off his cloak and said: "Now the forbidden army is here too. These people may not have a chance of winning with our garrison. Besides, the princess is also brave and resourceful. She is willing to bet on us, so we can't do it no matter what." Let the princess' efforts go to waste."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"My lord," Meng Weidao frowned, "I don't have time, I really don't have time."

Wei Zhuang still shook his head.Gu Zhao leaned slightly: "Lord Wei, this matter must be done quickly, since the princess has already come here with He Xi, she has already made preparations, we must ensure the princess' plan and the safety of these people. In fact, we are not without a chance of winning, how can the imperial army be no match for so many people?"

Xi Yu echoed: "Yes, Lord Wei, we are here to help you under the order of the champion, and we must not back down at this time. If something happens to the princess, Lord Wei will definitely be involved."

"But..." Wei Zhuang straightened up, "I, you..."

"Master Wei." Meng Weidao shook his head slightly at him, "This is not the time to talk about this. As long as He Xi is here, the hidden dangers in Yuzhou will not be eliminated. If the princess wants to help me eliminate hidden dangers, then we should not It's not fair to the princess to worry too much."

Wei Zhuang frowned.

"Besides, what the princess said is not unreasonable." Meng Weidao said in a deep voice, "Time is running out, we need to protect the princess well, my lord must not shrink back at this time, since He Xi has already drawn the sword, we can only fight, otherwise Yuzhou has really become a laughing stock."

***
Zhuo Ran held the red rope and squinted on the carriage for a while, Wei Xun kept staring at the situation outside, from dark night to dawn, the snow stopped for a while, and then it was about to fall again, Wei Xun took Zhuo Ran's cloak The corners are tidied up, and the windows are closed tightly.

It seemed to stop outside, the carriage paused lightly, and Zhuo Ran woke up immediately.

"Girl." Wei Xun stretched out his hand to help Zhuo Ran. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard He Xi outside giving instructions. Zhuo Ran straightened up, and Wei Xun also listened with bated breath.

Zhuo Ran raised the curtain and got out of the carriage, before Wei Xun opened the umbrella, Zhuo Ran had already walked to He Xi's side.He Xi looked down at Zhuo Ran and frowned slightly, Zhuo Ran looked around and said, "This is not near Yuzhou."

"It's not far from Yuzhou." He Xi smiled, "Let someone go check out the situation first, and we'll just follow behind."

Wei Xun put the umbrella over Zhuo Ran's head, but Zhuo Ran stretched out his arm and pushed it away.Zhuo Ran pointed at the back: "Can you tell me what happened to these ancient Qiang people? I thought that the people in Tuzhou were all your subordinates, but now it doesn't look like it."

He Xi turned his umbrella towards Zhuo Ran: "Princess, don't worry, you also told me that the ancient Qiang people need to be treated equally, isn't it just asking them for a small favor at this time?"

"He Xi," Zhuo Ran shook his head, "The ancient Qiang people helped you but not me. You should know the feud between me and the ancient Qiang people. If you do this now, how should I face them in the future? Besides, Do we want the ancient Qiang people to take care of our Dayu people's affairs?"

"Princess's words are wrong." He Xi looked at Zhuo Ran, "There is not only one possibility for many things. Gu Qiang can help the princess take Yuzhou, and naturally he can successfully go deep into Zhongqu Gaodu. This world is a princess. Yours, as long as you can achieve your goal, why do you bother with these processes?"

Zhuo Ran smiled: "How can you ensure that they will not have selfish motives?"

"So what if they have selfish motives?" He Xi said coldly, "Empress Yu Jing wanted them to submit to Dayu before, but if she succeeds this time, the princess doesn't have to worry about the future. For respect."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "He Xi, if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you."

He Xi raised his eyebrows: "We'll wait and see."

Zhuo Ran turned around, Wei Xun hurriedly covered Zhuo Ran with an umbrella, and followed her into the carriage.Wei Xun said anxiously: "What to do, girl, if they really want to do this, Yuzhou will definitely not be able to stop it."

Zhuo Ran said softly: "Don't worry. I just took a look. These ancient Qiang people are not as scary as Chi Yue said. Although there is no one in Yuzhou who can compete with them, they can't enter Yuzhou. Useful place."

Wei Xun still shook his head: "If Mr. Wei Zhuang is really worried about the safety of the girl, this Yuzhou City is not up to Mr. Wei to decide. I'm afraid that you..."

"I won't put myself in danger, not just for you and Zishatang." Zhuo Ran raised the corner of her mouth, "Don't worry, my life is very valuable now, I won't give myself away easily ,do not worry."

Wei Xun could only nod his head.The ancient Qiang army lined up to go to Yuzhou, Zhuo Ran sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly for now, Wei Xun, when we are about to arrive in Yuzhou, you should take advantage of the chaos and try to sneak into the city .”

Wei Xun frowned: "But didn't the girl tell Master Wei to close the city gate tightly? If I went in, wouldn't He Xi doubt me even more?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Naturally, it's not the main entrance. I guess Master Meng has already made arrangements around the city, and you can go directly when the time comes, and Master Meng won't make things difficult for you. If you see Chi Yue and the others after you go in...it's not right, Chi Yue can't catch up now, he is worried that I must have sent someone he trusts, it's okay, as long as you go in, they will know what I mean. At that time, you just need to watch the movement here, I will communicate with you."

Wei Xun thought about Zhuo Ran's words, Zhuo Ran spoke quickly, he could remember only a few key words, and he didn't find any flaws, so he just nodded.Zhuo Ran looked sideways at those people, feeling that it was a bit tricky, wondering if Li Xunchuan would come or not.Zhuo Ran bit the corner of her lips and looked at Wei Xun: "Don't look back until it's absolutely necessary, do you understand?"

Wei Xun nodded heavily.

Not long after, someone came back and whispered a few words in He Xi's ear.Zhuo Ran stared at He Xi's movement, looked at Wei Xun, and nodded slightly.

He Xi smiled and walked over, Zhuo Ran got out of the carriage, He Xi looked at her: "Princess, we are here."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes and looked at the flying snow all over the sky, she nodded slightly: "Then it's up to you, if I can't take this Yuzhou City today, I will definitely not let you go."

He Xi raised his eyebrows: "Princess, let's go and watch."

Zhuo Ran bypassed him, turned around and said, "Then I will go with you, but I don't know the way, so I need you to guide me."

"It's a great honor." He Xi asked someone to bring a few horses, Zhuo Ran untied his cloak and threw it away, the heat that had been warmed up just now dissipated completely, and the snow fell gently on Zhuo Ran's long hair, occasionally two The piece fell on her eyelashes, Zhuo Ran blinked and looked at He Xi.

"Weizhuang is yours." Zhuo Ran said softly in the wind, "I believe he is a person who keeps his promise."

Wei Xun ran after Zhuo Ran, and He Xi caught up with his horse, but he couldn't catch up with Zhuo Ran for a while. The soldiers behind followed He Xi and rushed all the way to the gate of the city.

The people had already been evacuated, but there was no one on the street. The soldier ran into the state capital out of breath, and shouted anxiously: "It's not good, Lord of the state capital, He Xi brought people to kill! There is also Princess Nanxiang , brought along the ancient Qiang people!"

"What?" Wei Zhuang slapped the table, "arrived so soon?"

Meng Weidao reached out to pick up the sword on the table and held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the princess wants to take these people away, anyway, the princess is so desperate, I will take care of it."

Gu Zhao and Xiyu made arrangements for the forbidden army and stepped in the door. They were also surprised when they heard the news. How could there be ancient Qiang people?If it was an ordinary bandit, the Forbidden Army would naturally be better, but for people like Gu Qiang, the Forbidden Army would be a target for people alive.

Xi Yu frowned and said softly, "Gu Zhao, what should we do now?"

Gu Zhao shook his head: "Don't worry. Since Zhuo Siye has already arranged this way, we just need to be obedient. If Gu Qiang is involved, I believe the master will come to solve it, so don't worry."

Wei Zhuang led the people up the city wall together, He Xi and Zhuo Ran were the first to bear the brunt, Zhuo Ran's white color looked very conspicuous, Wei Zhuang clenched his hands tightly, pointing at Zhuo Ran and scolding him.

After hearing this, He Xi laughed out loud for Zhuo Ran. He raised his eyes to look at the people on the city wall, and said loudly, "Do you want to open this city gate yourself, or shall I open it for you?"

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Zhuo Ran, the old man thinks you are a talent, but I didn't expect you to collude with the thugs to attack Yuzhou with the ancient Qiang. You really have bad intentions."

He Xi shook his head: "Wei Zhuang, if you dare to assassinate the princess, you have committed a capital crime. Now that we are going to take Yuzhou City, what else do you think can make you stubbornly resist? Obediently open the city gate and we can say anything. "
