Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 66 Leaving Zhongdu
In the early morning, the light rain gradually stopped, and the air was extremely humid.

Huo Qingluan changed into a light red dress and wore a simple and neat ponytail. She looked charming and heroic.She walked out of the house, stood in the courtyard, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the wonderful time in the morning.

Suddenly, there was another person beside him, and a familiar breath penetrated his nose, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Huo Qingluan opened her eyes, looked into his smiling eyes, curled her lips and said, "It's not bad."

Song Jiyang stared at her: "Huo Qidong escaped."

"I expected it."

"Now that you know it, how can you still sleep so soundly?" He seemed a little unconvinced.

Huo Qingluan glanced at him sideways, "What else can we do? Since they have been hiding for so long, they must have a lot of power. It is not easy to find them. It is not easy for us to successfully eradicate their minions. . It would be normal if Huo Qidong escaped, but it would be strange if he did not."

Song Jiyang pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand to rub her soft long hair, and said lovingly: "You are much calmer than I thought."

Huo Qingluan glared at him, stretched out his hand to push his arm away, changed the subject and asked, "How are things going?"

"It's almost there."

Huo Qingluan nodded, "Well, it's almost done here."

Song Jiyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "So fast?"

"It's not too fast, but it's not too slow either! Now it depends on the queen's choice."

Song Jiyang sneered, "That woman, no matter what she chooses, the result will be the same!"

"That's not necessarily the case! I always feel that she is a ruthless character and will never be willing to admit defeat."

Song Jiyang sneered, "No matter how cunning the fox is, his tail will eventually show up. We just need to wait patiently!"

"I hope so."

……

However, although the civil unrest has stopped, the border defenses are still unstable and wars are raging.

At first, there were good news from Qin Hai, but gradually the good news became less and less, until a letter was secretly sent to the palace.

After receiving the letter, the emperor immediately summoned several close associates and Song Jiyang, who had been responsible for catching the spy.

"How dare Liu Yu! How dare you betray me!" The emperor angrily threw the memorial on the table.

Song Jiyang bent down and picked up the memorial on the ground. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully. His face suddenly became much uglier. He saw that it read - "Liu Yu rebelled and killed General Qin. General Qin Feng is currently fighting the enemy alone and needs support." .”

"How unreasonable!" The emperor stood up and angrily said, "I treat him well, why would he betray me?"

Song Jiyang was silent for a long time and then replied: "I believe that the most urgent thing at the moment is to send troops to support! It would be a sin to put General Qin Feng in danger."

The emperor nodded and thought about the candidates for support, but ran out of ideas for a while.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he looked at Song Jiyang and ordered: "You lead the imperial guards to support! Make sure that Little General Qin is safe and sound!"

Song Jiyang bowed and accepted the order.He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, why me?"

"Ah."

Song Jiyang frowned and asked doubtfully: "I'm sorry for my stupidity. Please tell me, Your Majesty, why did you hand over the military talisman to me? What if I..."

"Don't worry, I believe you and Qin Feng have a close relationship, so it's most appropriate for you to go. And..."

The emperor hesitated to speak, and then continued for a moment: "There are many spies hidden in the court now. Even those who are safe and sound at the moment can easily be incited to rebel when they go to the border, so..."

"I understand. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will fulfill my mission."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

Song Jiyang said goodbye and left.

As soon as I walked out of the main hall, I met a father-in-law who came in a hurry: "Your Highness the Regent, the Queen has invited me."

He frowned slightly, then nodded and followed him to Kunning Palace.

The atmosphere in Kunning Palace was solemn.

The queen sat on the phoenix chair, looking lazy and idle.Seeing him coming, she waved and pointed to the seat on one side, indicating that he should sit down first.

"Empress, I wonder what you are doing after changing your position?" Song Jiyang asked respectfully.

The queen raised her lips and smiled slightly, "I have a big matter to discuss with you. Don't reject me in a hurry. It's not too late to consider it after listening to it."

Song Jiyang nodded.

The queen said: "I heard that you are going to lead troops to the border?"

"Yes, empress."

"Can you take a step to speak?"

"Yes."

The two came to the side hall, and the queen retreated to the left and right.

"I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Song Jiyang was slightly startled, "The Queen is too polite. If you have something to do, it doesn't hurt to talk."

"I would like to invite you." The queen's tone was relaxed, as if it was just a normal chat.

"Who?"

"Huo Qidong, the head of the Huo family."

Hearing this, Song Jiyang frowned and said, "Isn't he already missing?"

The queen nodded, "Yes, he is missing, but he is His Royal Highness the King of Beidi and the younger brother of the current Beidi Emperor, so he must have fled back to Beidi. You will lead your troops to chase him now. As long as you can catch him, I will The palace will definitely reward you heavily."

"But..." Song Jiyang still hesitated.

The queen was dissatisfied, "Could it be that the regent is unwilling to agree to even this small request of the palace?"

Song Jiyang thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I would like to comply with your Majesty's will, but I have one condition. I hope your Majesty will agree."

The queen stared at Song Jiyang with slightly narrowed eyes, and then said after a long while: "Tell me."

Song Jiyang said: "I have a family member in my family who has been lonely and helpless since she was a child. I hope to take her to the border and keep her by my side."

"Yes. However, please remember to keep this matter confidential."

"I understand."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go and perform the mission."

After Song Jiyang came back from the queen, he went straight out of the palace to Huo Qingluan, "Get ready and follow me to the border in three days."

Huo Qingluan was stunned and looked at him in surprise: "Is the emperor really planning to send you to the border?"

Song Jiyang nodded, "Yes. Although we also have hidden stakes in Beidi, they are not convenient to use after all. Besides, the situation there is complicated and it is not appropriate for us to intervene. But General Qin Feng is fighting alone in the enemy camp. If he does not send a trusted person Go to help, I'm afraid..."

"Okay, I understand, you wait while I pack my things." Huo Qingluan said and turned around and walked into the house.

Song Jiyang followed her footsteps and reminded: "You have to hurry up, so as not to delay your trip."

"Well, I see."

After Huo Qingluan entered the house, Song Jiyang stayed in the courtyard and waited.

After about a while of touching the incense, Huo Qingluan dressed up in men's clothing and went out, holding a bundle in his arms: "I've already told Xiao Cui that she won't leak the news."

Song Jiyang glanced at her clothes and smiled faintly.

He said nothing, but led the horse to her.

"Let's go."

Huo Qingluan jumped onto the carriage.

Song Jiyang drove the horse forward slowly, galloping all the way out of the city.
