The queen is alluring

Chapter 227

"Will you ascend the throne?" Yun Qing suddenly asked again.Ever since he met Chu Huandao, he has always wanted nothing, and that kind of indifference seemed to be born with him. However, she suddenly wanted to know, besides defending his mother, whether he also had the ambition to rule the roost , if there is, in the future, Chu State will also be a powerful enemy of Xuan Ye State, and it must be guarded against.

"Does Yun Qing want this king to ascend the throne?" Chu Huan did not answer Yun Qing's words, but asked her instead.

Yun Qing was stunned, looking suspiciously at Chu Huan's picture, a trace of unclear complex emotions flashed across it, but Chu Huan suddenly laughed, and gently tied the silk ribbon on her chest, and said slowly: " Let's go, I've already prepared the gates of Wuxia Mountain, you can leave smoothly." After finishing speaking, he took the reins from Lan Yue and handed his mount to Yun Qing.

Yun Qing looked deeply at the man in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, but then got on his horse without any hesitation, and galloped away.

The horseshoes galloped on the snow, the snowflakes gradually rose and fell like sand, Yun Qing's petite body gradually left under the moonlight, and then disappeared in the snow-capped hills...

"Since Your Highness cares about Miss Leng, why don't you keep her?" Lanyue said slowly beside Chu Huan, her eyes turned away from that far away, and she fell on her master suspiciously.These days, the master has been in the palace all the time, in order to be closer to the little empress, but why did the little empress finally leave the palace today, but His Highness Duke Huai didn't keep her?
Chu Huan looked away from the place where Yun Qing disappeared, but he didn't answer, but said calmly: "Let's go, drive into the palace..."

Yun Qing rode his horse and galloped straight to Wuxia Pass, and the journey was unimpeded as expected.Originally, when Qi Rongdi entered the pass, Chu Huan had already evacuated all the people in Wangcheng to prevent unnecessary killings, so after nearly half an hour, there was not even a single person.

The wind howled and howled, and when Yun Qing rushed to Wuxia Mountain, he saw thirty men in black clothes jumping down from the snow mountain. They all kowtowed in front of Yun Qing's horse and said, "See my lord."

Yun Qing's army and horse galloped across the mountain, and the Dumen Prison at Wuxia Pass almost let her go without checking, because her mount already showed her identity - a distinguished guest of His Highness Huai Wang.So she flew all the way to the junction of the snowy areas outside the pass, surrounded by empty space without a single figure, with a whistle in her mouth, a sharp phoenix cry went straight into the sky, and suddenly, thirty or more people slid down from the snowy peak of Wuxia Mountain. The men in black costumes, all of them fast and vigorous, kowtowed on the snow: "See my lord"

Beside the mountain road at Wuxia Pass, six men in military uniforms and swords had already dragged a large group of men to salute. Yun Qingce immediately stepped forward and asked, "What news is there from Jinling?"

"Reporting to my lord, Hua Yaoshi's apprentice came back with a flying eagle message, saying that he has left the palace safely. Now he is trekking through the imperial tombs in the back mountain. He will arrive in Northern Chu in less than half a month." He took out a fine copper pipe from his arms and handed it to Yun Qing.

Yun Qing got off his horse, took the brass pipe, and took out a tightly twisted note from the inside, only to see a few words written on it: I have left the prison, trekking to the imperial mausoleum in Houshan, buying horses in Lishan, half a month I can travel to Northern Chu.

Half a month was already too long for Yun Qing, but based on Sun Hengchu's footsteps, even if there were no accidents, it would take him ten days to get from Houshan to Lishan, and every second counts.Crushing the note in his hand, Yun Qing exhaled slightly in the icy air, and said, "Half a month is too dangerous for us, but if there is any mistake in sending the letter, it will only harm Sun Hengchu, so Now go out of the Northern Chu territory first, and make plans after arriving at the Grand Canal."

Hearing Yun Qing's words, Wei Yan's expression was a little dignified. He nodded and said, "Your subordinate obeyed the Lord's arrangement. It's late at night. If we want to set off on our way, we must catch up with the merchants in front of us before dawn." The team, the subordinates have checked the terrain, and there is a group of caravans that are heading to the Central Plains, and they are now stopping at the foot of Wuxia Mountain."

Yun Qing lifted her eyebrows, she looked up at the moonlight in the sky, raised her eyebrows and meditated.Now that Chu Huan, Ling Yexuan, and Qi Rongdi are all gathered in Beichu, if there is even a little movement from these three people, it will definitely shake the whole world, let alone Ling Yexuan and Chu Huan joining forces to kill Qi Rongdi Therefore, it would be dangerous for them to stay longer, so she immediately said: "Go to the post station to buy a horse, and then you can go on the road. You must leave the grassland before dawn, at least a day and a night, or at most two days."

Wei Yan and the others were stunned, but although they didn't know why Yun Qing suddenly left Chu State and the grassland called the trade road on the border in such a hurry, they understood that the master must have his own reasons, so Everyone responded immediately: "I obey..." After saying that, they started to move around.

The sky was slightly bright, and there was an endless stream of people resting their feet on the road in front of the post house. When buying horses at the post house, Yun Qing specially handed over a few taels of silver to the waiter and asked about the latest situation, but the waiter shook his head and sighed: " The guest officer is so lucky that he has lived in Beichu for more than half a month without any accidents. Alas, the rumors have been tight recently, but our true god has returned, and our His Highness Duke Huai has returned to the palace to preside over the overall situation, so Beichu's The people are still safe, but two days ago, the notorious Qi Rong Di unexpectedly ran here and brought a lot of soldiers and horses, so many merchants ran away all night in fright, lest there would be trouble, but ah, as long as there is With His Highness Duke Huai here, both the merchants and the people of Northern Chu must be safe."

The shop waiter didn't know whether to comfort Yun Qing or praise Chu Huan's achievements, but what was enough to explain everything was that in the hearts of the people of Northern Chu, Chu Huan was supreme, capable enough to rival the gods, and he was a virtuous king praised by everyone.People in Northern Chu do not believe in gods, but there is a temple with a golden statue of Chu Huan built in Beicheng, where the incense and offerings are endless. From this, it can be seen that even if King Chu died suddenly, Chu Huan immediately became king. No one in Chu suspected that Chu Huan had done something wrong.

This is the highest skill of politics, because Chu Huan has lived humblely on his knees, so he understands the psychology of the poorest and homeless people better than anyone else, and those who can only survive by relying on others, so, at the right time, He took advantage of the panic of all the people in Northern Chu, and won the hearts of the people on the premise of bringing them a stable life.

Yun Qing listened to the waiter's eloquence, and couldn't help laughing a little. Then, after Wei Yan and the others had selected the horses, they got on the horse, interrupted the waiter who was talking happily, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Huai has so many achievements. , No wonder the Northern Chu is so stable, the Xiongnu dare not invade the slightest bit, but it is a pity that we merchants from the Central Plains are not blessed and cannot see our dignity, it is really a great pity in life."
