The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 224: They Are All Chess Pieces (5)
"Yes, young master!" The servants responded repeatedly, and hurriedly carried the coffin and turned around to return home.

The old man helped the young man up, and before turning around, he looked back at Chu Xunyang worriedly from the corner of his eye.

Perhaps it was due to excessive grief, the boy's face was pale, even a little abnormal, and his body was weak.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his eyelids were always drooping, and his facial features were not very clear. He should be afraid of bumping into Chu Xunyang. At this time, he just bowed to Chu Xunyang from a long distance to thank him, and then Then he supported the coffin and walked towards the inner city.

Chu Xunyang didn't seem to pay much attention to the group of people, and then he told the city guard: "When the people from the Liu family come tomorrow morning, let them go out of the city. If something happens later, my father will have my palace to replace them." You wait!"

"Yes!" The city guard quickly responded, and then looked at her posture and said, "Master, are you going to leave the city?"

"What am I going out of the city to do?" Chu Xunyang said, glancing around casually, "These days, there are banquets and banquets everywhere, and I am tired of seeing them, so I just walk around in this city. !Okay, go do your errands!"

As he said that, he turned around on his horse, and You Youran also turned around and headed towards the inner city.

At that time, the sky was already bright, and the Liu family's coffin was not easy to openly pass through the main street, so they chose an inaccessible alley next to it, and the group walked in the direction of Liuhe Lane in the west of the city in an orderly manner. The old man who was following retreated silently after turning a few streets.

After confirming that there was no one around, the old man said anxiously, "Princess, what should I do? If you don't leave now, if you turn around and wait until the incident happens, it will be difficult to get out again!"

The pale young man took off the loose filial piety casually, revealing a simple plain robe underneath, with a slender waist. Although he was dressed in men's clothes, he was obviously a slim girl.

Impressively——

It was Tuoba Yunji, the sixth princess of Mobei who was disguised.

At that time, she frowned slightly, and listened absent-mindedly to the old man An's ramblings, but her expression was a little restless and panicked, and she couldn't help turning her head to look behind her.

Not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes coming in the morning light.

The old man was on guard for a while, and raised his hand to touch the short knife hidden in the sock tube.

"Old He!" Tuoba Yunji pressed down his hand, and took the lead to take a step forward to meet him, while ordering, "You step back first!"

Chu Xunyang and Yingzi followed from the alley behind on horseback.

Although the guard who was called Lao He was worried, seeing Tuoba Yunji's resolute attitude, he could not disobey after all, turned around and rushed to the other side of the alley to guard the intersection to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Yingzi didn't wait for Chu Xunyang's order, but also consciously stayed at the entrance of the alley on guard.

"Princess Xunyang!" Tuoba Yunji greeted her with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Chu Xunyang got off his horse, looked up and down at her attire with a calm face, then smiled casually and said, "You want to leave the city now, but it's just a matter of my words, I will guarantee you to leave safely. It's not such a troublesome thing. If you hadn't given me the news in advance last time, it would not have been so easy for Yanling to get away at the state banquet. This favor is owed to you by this palace. It's just——are you sure you're going to leave now? ?"

Tuoba Yunji was originally embarrassed because her intention was smashed by her, but when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, suspicious in her heart and at the same time smiled bitterly: "Since the princess has smashed my intention, I also I don’t need to hide it from you. You are very clear about my current situation. If I don’t try to leave now, I’m afraid I won’t have this opportunity in the future! In my current situation, I have no choice at all. I can’t sit still and wait. Be that pawn that others discard when they run out.”

"You don't want to be a pawn." Chu Xunyang repeated her words, looked at the distant sky with a distant gaze, and asked suddenly after a while, "Do you know what kind of person can completely escape the fate of being a pawn?"

Tuoba Yunji didn't expect her to ask such a question, she reacted, and suddenly held her breath with a surprised expression.

Chu Xunyang looked sideways, with a smile on his lips, nodded and said, "You are a smart person, and you must understand very well in your heart. I helped you this time, and next time, you may not have such luck. In this world , especially when it comes to power struggles, who is not the fate of being a pawn? Not only you, but also me. If you want to get rid of the fate of being a pawn, there is only one way to go, and that is to ascend to a high position. Overlook all living beings, and be a player who strategizes outside the chessboard. Other than that, there is no absolute!"

Tuoba Yunji was shocked. In fact, she understood all the truths Chu Xunyang said, but she didn't dare to think about it, let alone say it.

At this moment, everything was thrown out by Chu Xunyang, and Tuoba Yunji suddenly became flustered.

Thoughts turned quickly in her heart for a while, and finally, she slowly raised her head to meet Chu Xunyang's gaze: "It's not easy to do such a thing, the princess has such ambition and confidence to be the subordinate of the superior person." Chess player?"

"Me?" Chu Xunyang smiled, and the smiles were very bright.

She shook her head, threw away the blade of grass she was playing with in her hand, clapped her hands and said, "I don't need to be the game controller. My father and brother can do this. On the contrary, as long as they are there On the contrary, I enjoy the fate of being a pawn."

Tuoba Yunji was greatly shaken in her heart.

How much trust did Chu Xunyang have to have in Chu Yi'an and Chu Qifeng to allow her to be so at ease in the turbulent imperial power struggle?
"The emperor's family has no family, you are so sure that they will consistently protect you for the rest of your life, just in case—" Tuoba Yunji took a deep breath and said.

"Nothing happens!" Chu Xunyang interrupted her with a firm tone.

The emperor's family has no family ties, but her father and elder brother are exceptions. In the last life, one of them paid the whole country for him, and the other died for her. If there was a betrayal, at the end of the previous life, everyone would not It will be like that.

Tuoba Yunji held her breath, looked at her in disbelief, and finally gave a wry smile: "It's a pity that I don't have the luck like you."

"His Highness Fifth is also your elder brother!" Chu Xunyang said, taking a deep look at her meaningfully, "Since you feel that family ties are unreliable, there are still interests in connecting with this relationship, but it's just a different way. I came here to tell you this, without any other meaning, just to remind you. Of course, it is not all right for you to leave now, and His Majesty may not have the leisure to take care of your whereabouts, but even if you return smoothly After leaving Mobei, have you ever thought about how you will go in the future? Are you still like this, just a pawn in your brother's hands that can be used or discarded at any time?"
