Chapter 898
【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"However, the Qianzhong Mountains are high and the roads are far away. If our soldiers go deep into them, it may be difficult to accomplish anything. It is actually a big quagmire."

"And now, according to what I know, after Chen Guoping Nanhou entered Guizhou, he first killed the Tibetan imperial masters, and tried to help the young master of Qingquan Palace to restore control over the local officials of various states."

"In other words, Chen Guoping, Marquis of the South, completely resolved the chaos in central Guizhou in just over ten days, and firmly controlled the entire central Guizhou in his hands!"

Emperor Liang continued to ponder.

Li Jiye continued: "My son also found out that the current palace owner of Qingquan Palace has a close relationship with Pingnan Hou. If Liang Jun insists on entering Guizhou, he will inevitably encounter strong resistance from all the hereditary native officials in central Guizhou. This is undoubtedly It intensified the difficulty of conquering central Guizhou."

"In the land of central Guizhou, the hereditary native officials of various states were difficult to deal with when they were scattered. Now that they have become a monolith, it is even more difficult to conquer."

"So please think twice, father, if you invade Guizhou at this time, it will do me a lot of harm and no benefit."

Li Jiye bowed.

"Well, from what the emperor said, it is not easy for Marquis Pingnan to regain the entire central Guizhou in such a short period of time."

Emperor Liang frowned and twirled his beard.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. The local officials from the various states in central Guizhou are no longer scattered... I, Daliang, have lost the best opportunity to enter Guizhou!"

"Father is wise!" Li Jiye said hurriedly.

"Eh!"

Emperor Liang stood up from his chair, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked at Li Jiye below.

He said suspiciously: "Who kind of person is this Pingnan Marquis of Chen State? He was able to cut through the mess quickly in more than ten days and solve all the complicated problems in central Guizhou in one fell swoop."

"Hundreds of years ago, when Qingquan Palace failed to control the hereditary officials of various states, central Guizhou was in chaos. Even the Kingdom of Guizhou was finally destroyed at the hands of the King of Shaozhou..."

"The hereditary local officials in the various states in central Guizhou are the local emperors who have been nailed to various places in central Guizhou. They are deeply rooted. It is extremely difficult to eradicate them one by one!"

"Even I am not completely sure that I can completely capture the entire central Guizhou... And how come Pingnan Marquis of Chen State was able to find a way hundreds of years ago to make all hereditary native officials obedient? "

"Who is this Ping Nanhou?"

Emperor Liang's focus has quietly changed.

"Father, this Marquis of Pingnan is actually the former Marquis of Divine Thunder!" Li Jiye said.

"Well, Shen Leihou..." Emperor Liang put his hands behind his back and took two steps beside Long An, "Shen Leihou, Shen Leihou, it turns out it's him..."

"Yes, Marquis Pingnan is Marquis Shenlei. Before Marquis Shenlei went south to Guizhou, Emperor Chen renamed him Marquis Pingnan, which means to pacify the south." Li Jiye said.

Li Jiye has been paying attention to Zhu Xiuyuan's movements, so he knows these things clearly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have a very close personal relationship with Marquis Pingnan of Chen State. You must know this person very well. Please tell me, what kind of person is Marquis Pingnan?"

Emperor Liang, holding his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped and looked at Li Jiye below.

"A rare talent that comes once in a century!"

Li Jiye immediately gave an evaluation, almost blurting it out.

"Oh?"

"Father, this man knows astronomy, geography, and is rich in knowledge. He seems to understand the principles of all things in the world. Every time I see him, I will act like a student and ask for advice humbly. And every time I Great harvest!"

"so smart?"

"Father, Marquis Pingnan can not only say it, he can also do it. I must have heard about it. One year ago, Beiyuan in the north suffered from a cold wave, and then went south to invade our Daliang border..."

"Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, took the opportunity to invade Jiangzhou with the intention of attacking Jiangzhou. However, Jiangzhou, under the command of the then Sima of Jiangzhou, also known as Pingnan Marquis, relied on the small town of Jiangzhou to block Zhao Pu's [-]-strong army. Ten days!"

"Divine thunder?" Emperor Liang remembered something.

"Yes, Ping Nanhou relied on the divine thunder to defeat the Yan army. Then, in the last rebellion of the five kings of the Chen Kingdom, Ping Nanhou's divine thunder army also played a big role."

"Then half a month ago, Pingnanhou's [-] divine thunder army put down the rebellion in the five southeastern states within five days..."

"So, Father, from these deeds, it can be seen that Marquis Pingnan is not a boastful person. This time he cut the knot with a sharp knife and solved the chaos in central Guizhou, which once again proves Marquis Pingnan's ability!"

"Prince, you said..."

Emperor Liang stroked his beard and asked solemnly: "How does the Divine Thunder Army compare with our Daliang soldiers?"

Through Li Jiye’s words just now, Emperor Liang keenly grasped an important point——

The power of thunder!

Emperor Liang had heard about it a long time ago, and some ministers also mentioned it in memorials. King Qian Li Jiye even mentioned it in person many times, saying how powerful the divine thunder was.

But arrogance is a common human trait.

In terms of force, who in the world is Liang Jun's opponent?
Emperor Liang was very confident in this, so he didn't take the power of divine thunder seriously at all.

In the entire Liang Kingdom, people with the same thoughts as Emperor Liang accounted for the vast majority, and only a small number of people could keep their heads clear.

Qian Wang Li Jiye is one of the few people who has kept his head clear.

However, judging from Li Jiye's words just now and the iron-clad facts, Emperor Liang knew he was wrong, and it was very wrong!

Emperor Liang was not a mediocre person. He was actually extremely smart and talented. Otherwise, he would not have made Liang a powerful country with force.

Emperor Liang now realized that he had left behind many things before.

"Father." Li Jiye bowed his hands, his face became solemn, and he said: "Although I have never seen with my own eyes how the Divine Thunder Army fights, but from all aspects, the Divine Thunder Army-"

"I'm afraid they are already far superior to our elite troops in Daliang!" Li Jiye said with certainty.

At the same time, his expression became more solemn.

After all, Li Jiye is the prince of the Liang Kingdom, so he naturally puts the interests of the Liang Kingdom first. Talking about this issue with his father now is equivalent to sorting out the matter himself.

If the Divine Thunder Army becomes stronger, will it pose a threat to Liang Guo?
This is a question that Li Jiye must consider.

Although he admired Zhu Xiuyuan, in fact, he wanted to recruit him more and then serve Liang Guo...

"Far better than our elite troops in Liang." Emperor Liang repeated Li Jiye's words, his expression suddenly changed, "My lord, are you sure? Are you exaggerating?"

"Father, there is absolutely no mistake. It is said that the divine thunder is the power of heaven and earth, and has the ability to destroy everything. No matter how brave I am, I, the generals, may not be able to resist it." Li Jiye bowed.

"In this case... Chen Guoping Nanhou cannot be kept!" Emperor Liang suddenly showed murderous intent.

"Father, no!"

"Ok?"

"Father, after all, Ping Nanhou is a talent that is rare to see in a hundred years. It would be a pity to kill him. In fact, I have been trying to recruit him. If such a talent can be used by me, I will definitely kill him. Take it to the next level.”

Li Jiye was very excited.

Although he puts Liang Guo's interests first in everything.

But I really don’t want to get rid of Ping Nanhou for this.

He really learned a lot from Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Recruiting..." The murderous intent on Emperor Liang's face gradually faded, and his eyebrows tightened together, "Your Majesty, I remember that you went to Chen State several times as an envoy, and you must have had many contacts with Ping Nanhou. Will you tell me in detail? Tell me how you came into contact with Marquis Pingnan."

"My son obeys..."

Therefore, Li Jiye told in detail the previous several missions to Chen Guo, mainly those things that came into contact with Zhu Xiuyuan.

Li Jiye explained everything including his relationship with Princess Anle and Zhu Xiuyuan as "brothers and sisters", as well as their trip to the Qinhuai River during the Shangyuan Festival.

After hearing this, Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Your Majesty, you said... I will betroth your slave to the Marquis of Pingnan and recruit him to my Daliang. Is this feasible?"

This is actually all because Li Jiye explained it in too much detail, which led Emperor Liang to have such an idea.

In fact, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu went on several missions to Chen State, and Li Qingnu and Zhu Xiuyuan did not have much interaction, because Zhu Xiuyuan thought that Li Qingnu was a foreign princess after all, so it was better to avoid suspicion.

But just now, when Li Jiye was explaining, he repeatedly mentioned words such as "Imperial Sister and Ping Nanhou", which made Emperor Liang think of recruiting Zhu Xiuyuan as his consort.

After all, in ancient times, they were very skilled at betrothing their daughters to win over people.

Not to mention a man of great talent and strategy like Emperor Liang.

Although Emperor Liang doted on Princess Anle very much, Emperor Liang was also a father, and his daughter had to marry. Whoever she married was not a marriage. Marrying a genius who could only be seen once in a century, wouldn't it be a perfect match?

He can also take advantage of the opportunity to win over people!
Kill two birds with one stone, why not?
"Father, this move... this move is probably inappropriate!"

Li Jiye was stunned on the spot after hearing what Emperor Liang said.

In fact, based on Li Jiye's admiration for Zhu Xiuyuan, Zhu Xiuyuan is enough to be his brother-in-law. However, "Father, the Marquis of Pingnan already has a wife. If I betroth the emperor's sister to him, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"Oh, does your Majesty know who Ping Nanhou's wife is? Is she the princess of Chen State?"

As a talented and strategic emperor, Emperor Liang was very determined. He could not be defeated by such small "difficulties".

The reason why he guessed that Ping Nanhou's wife was a princess of the Chen Kingdom was because Emperor Liang believed that Emperor Chen might have used the method of "betrothal to his daughter" to win over such a talented person.

"No, Marquis Pingnan's wife was originally the daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou..."

"A mere daughter of the governor?!" Emperor Liang was surprised, "Your Majesty, you have a close personal relationship with Marquis Pingnan. Go and discuss with him. If he is willing to divorce the daughter of the governor, I will betroth Princess Anle to him! "

"Uh...Father, as far as I know, Marquis Pingnan and his wife are very loving. I'm afraid Marquis Pingnan won't agree." Li Jiye knew Zhu Xiuyuan's character very well.

Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows: "A man should put his great career first, how can he give up his career just because of the love between his children?"

"Father, I don't know. Ping Nanhou is a man with extraordinary talents, but at the same time he also attaches great importance to friendship. He is a man of gentle temperament." Li Jiye said bravely.

Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then his frown relaxed, and he laughed and said: "I see, that's it!"

Seeing this, Li Jiye also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Emperor Liang forced him to persuade Zhu Xiuyuan to divorce his wife, he didn't know whether Zhu Xiuyuan would undermine him.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Li Jiye suddenly remembered the junction between central Sichuan and central Guizhou. On the east and west banks of the Tongzi River, one hundred thousand Liang troops and eighty thousand Chen troops were still confronting each other across the river.

So Li Jiye asked: "Father, shall we withdraw our troops now?"

"Withdraw troops?" Emperor Liang was stunned. He almost forgot about it. After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Liang did not respond immediately. Instead, he sat down behind the Long Case again, picked up the memorial, and read it carefully. look.

Seeing this, Li Jiye had no choice but to wait below, becoming increasingly anxious.

As long as the father does not agree to withdraw the troops for a moment, then the matter will be full of variables.

If the 18 troops on the east and west banks of the Tongzi River start fighting, the situation will be difficult to deal with.

"It's okay to withdraw our troops, but I also want to see with my own eyes Ping Nanhou, a talent that is rare to see in a hundred years." Emperor Liang threw away the memorial, leaned back on his chair, and said happily: "When I see him After finding this person and confirming that this person is indeed a talent that is rare to see in a century, it will not be too late to withdraw our troops."

"Father?"

"I have made up my mind on this matter. Your Majesty, there is no need to say more."

"Yes, Father."

"By the way, in order to show how much I value Marquis Pingnan, would you like to go to central Guizhou in person? You happen to be familiar with Marquis Pingnan too."

"My son obeys!"

"Well, your Majesty, let's make preparations. I will write a letter of divorce and you can take it to Shuzhong and hand it over to Marquis Pingnan in person."

"Yes!"

Li Jiye came out of the palace with a letter handwritten by Emperor Liang himself.

"Hey, I don't know what my father meant. I just hope this matter won't go wrong again..." Li Jiye sighed at the palace gate, and then immediately returned to Prince Qian's Mansion to start preparations for his trip to Shu.

In the palace of Liang Kingdom.

After Li Jiye left the palace, Emperor Liang got up and went to the palace where the queen lived.

At this time, Empress Liang Guo was doing embroidery with a group of court ladies, looking very serious.

After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Liang dismissed all the eunuchs and maids, leaving only Emperor Liang and the empress in the palace.

"Queen, why are you doing embroidery again?" Emperor Liang was slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty calm down, the concubine thought, being idle in the palace is also idle, so I thought about embroidering a set of inner clothes for Your Majesty before winter..."

Queen Liang is a dignified middle-aged woman with a very good temperament, vaguely similar to Li Qingnu.

Facing Emperor Liang's slight anger, she was not afraid. No, she just said a word with a smile, and Emperor Liang's slight anger disappeared completely.

"Queen, you..." Emperor Liang smiled and shook his head.

After the two sat down on the chairs, Emperor Liang said with a smile: "Queen, our slave has reached the age of marriage, right?"

Queen Liang's hands shook, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, but the smile immediately reappeared, and she said with a smile: "You are already eighteen years old, it's time to get married."

"Qingnu was also born in our royal family in Daliang. If he was born in Yan, Chen and other countries, or ordinary people, I am afraid that Qingnu's children will be so tall."

Empress Liang made gestures with a smile, and then asked: "Your Majesty...have you found a suitable husband for your slave?"

"Well, there is a suitable candidate."

"What kind of person is it?"

"I heard from Jiye that the talent is both beautiful and well-educated, and he can be called a rare talent in a hundred years!" Emperor Liang said.

"Oh, that's good, that's good..."

"But Queen, in order for our slave to marry a good husband, you may have to suffer a little."

"His Majesty?"

……

Chang'an City.

Princess Anle's Mansion.

Princess Anle, Li Qingnu, was holding a watering can and watering the flowers in the yard.

Li Qingnu is tall and has a gentle face. The sunlight shines on her face, making her skin look white, and the smile on her face has never disappeared.

"Princess, the slaves should do these rough jobs." Li Qingnu was followed by two maids.

"No need, these are the flowers I brought back from Chen State. They are delicate and must be taken care of by me personally."

Li Qingnu watered the flowers seriously.

Her long hair was fluttering, and because she bent down to water the flowers, the green silk draped on her shoulders fell down like a waterfall.

She was also wearing a beautiful palace dress. The various ribbons on the palace dress, together with her long hair, flew and danced as she watered the flowers. It looked like a breathtaking "Princess Watering Flowers Picture".

"Princess, princess, big news, this slave has heard big news..." A maid suddenly ran over.

"What's the news?" Li Qingnu did not stop watering the flowers.

"...Princess, I heard that King Qian is packing his luggage and is about to leave for Shu!" The maid was out of breath.

"Brother Huang is going to Shuzhong!"

Li Qingnu immediately straightened up and turned to look at the maid in surprise and joy. The watering can in her hand was still spraying water into the flower pot due to the angle.

But Li Qingnu no longer cares about this.

"Yes... King Qian went to Shuzhong, it seems... to pick up Marquis Pingnan of Chen Kingdom..." the maid continued.

"Taking Ping Nanhou!"

Li Qingnu was startled again, and then the joy on his face could hardly be restored.

Li Qingnu also often pays attention to the developments in Chen State, and naturally knows that the Marquis of Shen Lei has been renamed the Marquis of Pingnan.

"Take it." The smile on Li Qingnu's face did not diminish. She turned to look at the two maids behind her and handed the watering can to them.

The two maids hurriedly caught the watering can.

"Water the flowers for me, remember to take good care of them and don't let the insects eat their leaves..."

As soon as the words fell, Li Qingnu ran towards the entrance of the princess mansion with fast steps, holding the hem of the palace dress that reached the floor.

"Princess!"

"Where is the princess going?"

"I'm going to find Brother Huang, and I'm going to Shuzhong too..."

Li Qingnu ran so fast that the maids could hardly hear her clearly.

"Princess..." The maids chased her out together.

However, as soon as Li Qingnu rushed out of the gate of the princess mansion, she ran into an old man who just got off a sedan.

Li Qingnu was in a hurry and was going to bypass the old eunuch.

But the old eunuch came just for Li Qingnu, so he immediately stopped her: "Princess, wait a minute, wait a minute, I have the Queen's decree..."

"Ah? What is the queen mother's order?" Li Qingnu had no choice but to stop.

"I have been feeling unwell recently and have not thought about food or food. Because I think that Princess Anle has always been well-behaved and sensible, I specially ordered Princess Anle to enter the palace immediately and serve soup and medicine in front of my bed..."

The old eunuch quickly read out the queen's decree.

Li Qingnu was stunned for a moment, his face changed several times, and finally he said with a worried look: "Yes, my daughter obeys!"

So, Li Qingnu was brought into the palace by the old eunuch.

……

Day two.

Li Jiye's carriage has stopped in front of the gate of Liang Jun's camp on the west bank of the Tongzi River.

General Liang Jun led his generals out of the camp to meet him.

"General Li, have you been fine these days?" Li Jiye asked in his first sentence without waiting for General Li to greet him.

The so-called General Li is the chief general of the [-] Liang army here.

"Your Majesty, no one has acted rashly between my subordinates and Chen Jun." General Li reported.

"That's good..." Li Jiye breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "General Li, please cross the Tongzi River with me to meet the Marquis of Pingnan."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." General Li was stunned. He had also prepared a large table of wine and food. "No need to say anything, just go and make arrangements."

"Yes!"

Across the Tongzi River.

Zhu Xiuyuan had already received the news about King Qian of Liang Kingdom coming here.

But what Zhu Xiuyuan didn't expect was that Li Jiye had just arrived and came to visit him directly without taking a break.

When the scouts came in to report that King Qian of Liang's boat had crossed the Tongzi River and landed ashore, and was walking towards Chen Jun's camp, Zhu Xiuyuan personally led Lin Bochang and other deputy generals to welcome him out of the camp.

"Sir, why did you say that Prince Qian of the Liang Kingdom came in person?" Kou Wanwan, as the lord of Qingquan Palace and the Tu Emperor of Qianzhong Road, also followed him out of the gate.

Also accompanying them were Dong Shuzhen, as well as two maids, Xia Wu and Xiaohuan.

Dong Shuzhen, Kou Wanwan, Xia Wu and Xiaohuan, all four women are extremely beautiful, and their clothes are like blooming flowers. In this slightly monotonous military camp, the four of them are the most eye-catching scenery.

As for the fact that women are not suitable to stay in the camp... Zhu Xiuyuan simply ignored it. Anyway, the four women are not ordinary women.

Moreover, Zhu Xiuyuan also discovered that the appearance of the four women in the camp did not dampen the spirits of the Divine Thunder Army.

It feels so good to break the rules!
"I don't know, let's talk to the king later." Zhu Xiuyuan looked ahead, and the shadows of Li Jiye and his party were already looming.

"Master Marquis, my subordinates feel that King Qian of the Liang Kingdom may not have good intentions when he comes here." Lin Bochang suddenly spoke.

"Ben Gong, my subordinates also feel the same way." Yan Dashan also said.

"Well, although I have a close personal relationship with Brother Li, he is the prince of the Liang Kingdom after all... You should pay more attention." Zhu Xiuyuan ordered casually.

"Yes!"

During the conversation, Li Jiye and his party had approached.

"Brother, I hope you are well."

"Brother Li, haha, the last time we had a farewell in the capital, I never expected to meet this time on such an occasion."

Li Jiye bowed solemnly.

I wish Xiuyuan return the gift.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhu Xiuyuan invited Li Jiye and his party into the camp.

Overall, the entire reception process was very harmonious.

However, Kou Wanwan, Lin Bochang, Yan Dashan, etc. all felt a sense of caution in their hearts.

But Dong Shuzhen... was wondering why the senior sister didn't come?
The so-called senior sister refers to Princess Anle Li Qingnu.

But in that situation, it was difficult for Dong Shuzhen to ask...

In the tent of the Chinese army.

The guests and hosts are divided into seats.

Zhu Xiuyuan ordered tea to be served to the guests.

After drinking tea, Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye talked about old times for a while, and then Li Jiye explained his purpose of coming——

Zhu Xiuyuan was invited to go north to Chang'an, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, to meet Emperor Liang to discuss the withdrawal of the Liang army.

Then, he handed the letter written by Emperor Liang to Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan read the letter, thought for a while, and said, "I already understand what Emperor Liang meant. This visit to Liang is not for personal matters, but is equivalent to sending an envoy to Liang."

"As a minister of Da Chen, I cannot promise you directly. Please wait for a few days, Brother Li, and let me consult with His Majesty before I speak."

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned and said.

Li Jiye didn't have any opinion, and said that he was waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan's news in the Liang Jun camp on the other side of the Tongzi River.

After the discussion was over, Li Jiye took the initiative to leave without staying too long.

So Zhu Xiuyuan and others personally escorted Li Jiye and his party out of the camp, and then watched them cross the river and return to Liang Jun's camp.

Everyone returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lin Bochang and Yan Dashan all believed that this trip to the Liang Kingdom was full of dangers: "Master Hou, the attitude of the Liang Kingdom is unclear. Whether to withdraw troops or not. It's just a matter of one sentence. Why did Emperor Liang have to see it with his own eyes?" Does the Marquis make the decision?"

"Master Hou, going to Liang Country is very dangerous..."

Kou Wanwan also said: "Master, why don't we just ignore this matter? Liang Jun won't make any changes in a short period of time. Let's just go back and train our troops, and then compete with Liang Jun!"

Dong Shuzhen was frightened when she heard what they said was dangerous, so she also persuaded Zhu Xiuyuan not to agree to Li Jiye and go to Liang State to see Emperor Liang.

"I know what you are worried about." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, "But when things develop like this, and I am the observation and disposal envoy of Qianzhong Road, there is no reason to back down."

Everyone stopped talking.

"I have reported this matter to Your Majesty, let's see what His Majesty decides." Zhu Xiuyuan added.

"But... Liang Country is in danger."

"It doesn't matter. If we really want to go to the Liang Kingdom, we will bring more people and make all preparations to ensure that we can escape unscathed. Besides, as the ninth emperor, he shouldn't deliberately embarrass me, right?"

……

Two days later.

In the capital of Chen State, Emperor Chen once again convened the ministers for discussion. The focus of today's discussion was whether Zhu Xiuyuan should go to Liang State as an envoy.

"Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Pingnan should be sent as an envoy to the Liang Kingdom. If I can use this to make the Liang Kingdom retreat, it would be the best." A civil servant came out to pay homage.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Pingnan holds the position of envoy to observe and handle the Qianzhong Road. He should do his duty with all his heart. When sending envoys to the Liang Kingdom, it must be Marquis Pingnan!"

"..."

The civil servants in the main hall were extremely active, and they almost overwhelmingly supported Pingnanhou's mission to Liang Guo.

Some of the military attachés supported it.

As for the remaining civil and military officials, they remained silent and did not participate in the matter.

So this led to the vast majority of ministers in the entire hall agreeing that Zhu Xiuyuan would go to Liang Guo as an envoy, and at the same time, no one objected.

Han Qingshan deliberately came out to oppose it, because he had already sensed that Zhu Xiuyuan's mission to Liang Guo might be dangerous.

But if he came out to object, he would be the only one to object...

This is inconsistent with his previous image.

So should we come out to oppose it?
While he was hesitating, Han Qingshan heard Emperor Chen on the dragon throne say: "In that case, let Zhu Aiqing go as envoy to the Liang Kingdom to discuss the withdrawal of one hundred thousand Liang troops!"

After speaking, Emperor Chen stood up and announced his withdrawal from the court.

In fact, Emperor Chen also believed that Zhu Xiuyuan was the best choice to go to Liang State. Seeing that most of the ministers agreed that Zhu Xiuyuan should go, Emperor Chen followed the trend.

Chen Huang naturally knew that it might be dangerous to go to Liang country.

However, as the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, he had almost lost his throne several times. What could he do without danger?

……

Another two days later.

Chen Huang's final decision was spread to the Divine Thunder Army camp.

"In that case, I'll go to Liang Kingdom."

Zhu Xiuyuan stared at Emperor Chen's imperial edict for the last time, then put it aside, turned to look at Kou Wanwan and asked: "Miss Kou, you have been preparing for several days, how are you preparing?"

"Young master, please rest assured. Although the power of Qingquan Palace has been weakened due to the civil strife in central Guizhou, the foundation is still there. I have sent people to make preparations in Liang Kingdom."

"If you are in danger, you can fight your way back to central Guizhou!" Kou Wanwan said coldly.

"That's good. I hope in the end, I don't have to fight a bloody way to escape." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Without further ado, Zhu Xiuyuan sent someone to contact Li Jiye on the other side of the Tongzi River that day, saying that Emperor Chen had agreed to his mission to the Liang Kingdom. If he was ready, he would leave today.

When Li Jiye got the news, he was relieved, and immediately sent someone to reply, saying that he had already made preparations and could set off immediately.

So the group set out from Luzhou.

They went north, passing through Yuzhou-Quzhou-Tongzhou in central Sichuan, and then passed Jinzhou on Shannan East Road. On the evening of the second day, before the city gate of Chang'an closed, the group entered Chang'an, the capital of the Liang Kingdom.

Li Jiye personally took Zhu Xiuyuan and his party to the post house in the city.

He also said: "Brother Zhu, it's getting late today. We have been traveling for two days in a row. Brother Zhu must be tired, so why not rest here for one night? Tomorrow, I will take Brother Zhu to the palace to see my father. how?"

"That's very good. Thank you for your help, Brother Li."

Zhu Xiuyuan was indeed a little tired.

As night fell, lanterns were hung everywhere in the posthouse.

This post house has been cleaned a long time ago.

When Zhu Xiuyuan and his party checked in, they only needed to change into the usual bedding, and no other changes were needed.

This time, Zhu Xiuyuan brought [-] generals with him to the capital of Liang Kingdom, led by Yan Dashan. These [-] generals were all carefully selected elites, enough to rank first and ten. At critical moments, they played a great role.

Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu also accompanied them.

In addition, Kou Wanwan also went deep into the Liang Kingdom, but she did not go with Zhu Xiuyuan and the others, but hid in secret.

Kou Wanwan's route started from Shizhou on the northernmost side of the Central Guizhou Road, passed through Kuizhou and Jinzhou on the south east road of Liangguo Mountain, and finally arrived at Chang'an City.

This hidden line is the escape route prepared by Kou Wanwan.

The total journey is eight to nine hundred miles, and it is the shortest road from central Guizhou to Chang'an City.

Kou Wanwan personally walked this hidden line to ensure nothing went wrong.

After the three hundred generals moved into the post house, under Yan Dashan's arrangements, they had guarded the main roads and prepared defenses.Zhu Xiuyuan sat in the living room for a while, and Yan Dashan came to report that everything had been arranged.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood up, patted Yan Dashan's thick shoulder, and walked to the inner courtyard of the post house.

"Husband, I and Xia Wu have already laid out the bedding, and the bath water is ready. Let's take a bath first, shall we?" As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they met Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu.

"Alright!"

Soon after he came out of the shower, Zhu Xiuyuan yawned.

"My husband is tired, let's go back to the room and rest soon."

Dong Shuzhen also traveled for two days, but she was not tired at all, but full of energy.

Being in a foreign country, Dong Shuzhen was inexplicably a little excited.

From Luzhou to Chang'an City, the scenery along the way, the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and the personal experience of the difficulties of the Shu Road really opened Dong Shuzhen's horizons.

Squeak!

Pushing open the door, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen walked in simultaneously.

Just as Dong Shuzhen was about to turn around and close the door, she suddenly froze, looked at the bed, and shouted with Zhu Xiuyuan in unison: "Miss Kou (goblin)!"

That's right.

Kou Wanwan was sitting on the edge of the bed, delicately, with her legs together, dressed in red like a wedding dress, looking at them with a smile.

"Sir, madam, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Kou Wanwan smiled, stood up and came over.

"Fairy Kou, why did you come so early?" Dong Shuzhen stepped forward, looked Kou Wanwan up, down, left, and right: "Didn't you want to check that route?"

With a smile on her face, Kou Wanwan walked straight to the other side of Zhu Xiuyuan, and together with Dong Shuzhen, sandwiched Zhu Xiuyuan in the middle.

"Madam, please rest assured that the people in Qingquan Palace are still reliable. The Nu family has not found any problems along the way and everything is going smoothly." Kou Wanwan said with a smile.

"That's good. This trip has been hard on Miss Kou." Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

"Young Master is serious, let alone hard work. Your mission to Liang State this time is for Central Guizhou. Central Guizhou is the hometown of the slave family. How can we talk about hard work?"

"On the contrary, the young master risked his life to go to Liang as an envoy, and the slave family is extremely grateful."

Kou Wanwan smiled and leaned her head on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder, looking very intimate.

Dong Shuzhen on the other side frowned slightly. She held one of Zhu Xiuyuan's arms with both hands and gently pulled him back. Zhu Xiuyuan didn't notice, but Dong Shuzhen pulled him and moved him two steps laterally.

Kou Wanwan's head rested on her shoulder, and she left her.

"You bandit fairy, my husband risked his own life to go to Liang State for your sake. Tell me, how do you want to make up for it?" Dong Shuzhen stared with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"Nujia..." Kou Wanwan leaned forward again, but this time, she did not rest her head on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder. The smile on her charming face did not diminish, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes.

"The slave family has nothing to repay, so I just... just promise it with your body!"

Kou Wanwan was extremely shy. As she spoke, she held the hem of her clothes with both hands and lifted them to both sides.

A green tube top with red embroidery.

The bulging stuff was displayed in front of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen.

"what!"

Dong Shuzhen shouted with fear.

Then, with lightning speed, he passed Zhu Xiuyuan and rushed in front of Kou Wanwan, turned his back to Zhu Xiuyuan, while cursing, "Kou goblin, you are shameless", at the same time, with both hands, he pulled Kou Wanwan's skirt back.

Because her back was to Zhu Xiuyuan, his view was blocked, so Dong Shuzhen's heart moved. While helping her pull up the skirt of her clothes, she also violently tortured the thing that was growing on Kou Wanwan's body that made her feel jealous.

During this time, fights between the two women have become normal.

This move is Dong Shuzhen's usual move.

"Well..." Kou Wanwan frowned, then laughed playfully and ran to scratch Dong Shuzhen's armpit.

This move was used by Kou Wanwan to deal with Dong Shuzhen.

For a while, the two women started fighting like this.

Hee hee haha.

Her delicate body trembled wildly.

Mixed with it was Kou Wanwan's groan as she was attacked.

There was also Dong Shuzhen laughing when her armpit was scratched.

In this bedroom, all of a sudden, there is a lot of wit and humor.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood beside him, first stroking his forehead.

Then I was attracted by the cigarette scene of the two women fighting.

He simply moved a chair, placed it next to the two women, sat on it, crossed his legs, poked a smile at the corner of his mouth, and stared at the two women who were fighting with each other.

……

Liang Kingdom Palace.

In the queen's bedroom.

The queen was lying on the couch with the quilt tightly tucked in. She didn't put on makeup and didn't take care of her hair, so from looking at it like this, the queen seemed to be really sick.

More than ten candles were lit in the bedroom, illuminating the entire room.

In front of the bed, there was a stool, and Princess Anle Li Qingnu was sitting on the stool upright.

Li Qingnu has a straight back and is dressed in palace attire. She has three thousand black hairs, snow-white skin and a face like a full moon. She looks very beautiful.

But at this time, the iconic smile on Li Qingnu's face had disappeared, and she looked slightly worried.

Because her mother is sick!
"Mother, it's time to drink medicine."

Li Qingnu was holding a small bowl of medicine in one hand and a spoon in the other, preparing to feed the queen the medicine with her own hands.

Beside Li Qingnu, there were still two maids standing there, holding a wooden tray in their hands, standing there motionless.

"Your Majesty, you are interested." The queen measured her head and prepared to drink the medicine.

The queen looked very weak, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were slightly distracted, and she looked like she was seriously ill.

However, when Li Qingnu brought the spoonful of soup to the queen's mouth, the queen couldn't help but twitch her lips, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.

It was smoked by this spoonful of concoction.

However, the queen quickly "recovered".

Her daughter is actually very smart, so she must not show off her flaws.

After biting the bullet and drinking this spoonful of concoction, before the Queen could take a moment to calm down, Li Qingnu's second spoonful of concoction was delivered...

The queen thought silently in her heart: "Everything is for the good of Qingnu, everything is for the good of Qingnu..."

In this way, the queen drank a whole bowl of pungent soup.

Li Qingnu was very satisfied, turned slightly sideways, and put the empty medicine bowl into the tray in the palace maid's hand.

"You guys go down first, I'll have a private conversation with Qingnu for a while." The queen, relieved from a heavy burden, looked at the two maids carrying trays.

"My slaves obey!" The maids exited the palace and closed the door.

"Mother, it's getting late, and Queen... it's better to rest early." Li Qingnu looked at the queen with a worried look on her face, which was a kind of care from a child to her parents.

Very pure.

When the queen saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.

She was actually just pretending to be sick.

Its purpose is to trap Li Qingnu, and then...
