"You don't know who it is, how jealous are you?" Chu Zhao was speechless at his ubiquitous jealousy, "You're not even jealous of Huai'an, are you?"

"Who?"

Feng Guanlan was surprised and suspected that he had heard wrongly: "Did your Majesty mean Princess Huai'an?"

"Yes!" Chu Zhao confirmed his question, "Huaian has been in the palace since she was a child and has never traveled far. I plan to take her out to see the world and let her see the great rivers and mountains of our Dayan."

Feng Guanlan expressed his incomprehension: "The other princes and princesses have never left home, so why did Your Majesty take Princess Huai'an with you alone?"

Chu Zhao said: "Huai'an is different. She has no mother-in-law, and her father is no longer here. There is no one in the palace who really loves her, and no one supports her. I don't feel safe leaving her in the palace."

"Aren't you still with me?" Feng Guanlan asked eagerly, "Your Majesty's trip is not just a trip to the mountains and rivers. The weather is freezing and there are too many unknown dangers. If there is a war with Beidi in the future, no matter where your Majesty takes the princess, Whether you are with her or staying in the camp, you can't help but worry about her, so how can you still direct the battle without any distractions?"

Chu Zhao waved his hand: "It's okay, I will make arrangements for her. Don't worry."

When Feng Guanlan saw her resolute attitude, he did not try to dissuade her anymore. He just said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty now has to hide all your decisions from me. It seems that I have fallen out of favor in front of your Majesty."

"..." Chu Zhao pretended to glare at him angrily, "If you keep moaning like this, you will really fall out of favor."

Feng Guanlan had no choice but to put away his grievances and start preparing her luggage.

The Ministry of War urgently selected [-] elite troops from the army guarding the capital to accompany Chu Zhao on the expedition.

Feng Guanlan also wanted to allocate another part of the Jinyu Guards to Chu Zhao, but Chu Zhao refused.

Chu Zhao said that the safety of the capital was also very important. There were not many guards left, and the Jinyu Guards could not move under any circumstances.

Feng Guanlan had no choice but to give up and prepare enough supplies for her.

In addition to the Ten Thousand Elites and Princess Huai'an, Chu Zhao also took away everyone he brought from Yunzhou.

General Xiao, A'ao, Iron Hammer, Qingyu, Hongxiao, Ziluo, as well as the children of the Yun family who had been arranged by her to stay in Taiyuan Hospital before, and even Wang Baobao and Chu Huai who came later were not left behind.

Not only that, she also took away Xie Chengfeng and the knights and knights who lived in Sanqingguan.

Feng Guanlan questioned this again: "It's okay for Your Majesty to take other people. Most of those knights in the world are unruly and difficult to control. What's the use of His Majesty taking them?"

Wang Baobao was preparing for the new journey. Hearing what Feng Guanlan said, he interjected enthusiastically: "It's useful, it's useful. Don't underestimate the knights of the world. I think back then, Guo Jing and Daxia Guo led a group of knights to defend the country." Xiangyang City successfully stopped the Mongolian army from going south."

General Xiao heard this and came over curiously: "I know Xiangyang, but who is Guo Jing? Why have I never heard of him?"

Wang Baobao thought for a while and said: "It's the kid I told you about last time who fell off a cliff and met an eagle. The boy wanted to seek revenge from Daxia Guo, but one of his arms was chopped off by Guo Daxia's daughter. Later, , that boy learned the martial arts secrets given to him by Eagle, became a one-armed hero, and guarded Xiangyang City with Daxia Guo."

General Xiao rolled his eyes at him in disgust: "What nonsense, I've never heard of it, you must have made it up."

When interrupted by the two of them, Feng Guanlan couldn't ask any more questions.

Chu Zhao listened with great interest and said to Feng Guanlan: "Look, this shows that the knights of the world are still very useful."

Feng Guanlan: "..."

Ok!

I finally understand why His Majesty likes Wang Baobao so much.

Because they both know how to talk.

People who share the same path cherish each other.

In the next few days, Feng Guanlan had been cooperating with various ministries to prepare for the expedition. Chu Zhao took this opportunity to interview more than a dozen senior officials in the court and entrusted the court and the young emperor to them.

Among them were Fang Weixian, the censor of Zuodu, the six ministers, the newly appointed first assistant and second assistant of the cabinet, and the top leaders of several other important yamen in Beijing.

After everything was ready, on a clear and cold morning near the end of the year, Chu Zhao led a large group of people and embarked on the journey.

Feng Guanlan, along with hundreds of civil and military officials and the people of the capital, sent her and the soldiers out of the city gate, and said goodbye to her amidst the sound of war drums.

Chu Zhao said goodbye to everyone, and sat on her black BMW, Bai Xue, with Princess Huai'an, whipping up his whip and urging the horse to go west.

The cold wind was biting and the battle flags were fluttering. Feng Guanlan looked at Chu Zhao who was walking away without looking back, with a complicated expression on his face.

Your Majesty left like this, taking away everyone related to her, except herself.

She left with such determination that she didn't even look back. She didn't know whether she was willing to let him go or not.

This is a farewell, the future is uncertain, and I don’t know when we will meet again?

Princess Huai'an also asked Chu Zhao the same question: "Sister Princess, when will we return to the capital?"

"Sister doesn't know either." Chu Zhao said, "As soon as you left the city gate, you were thinking about going back. Do you not want to go with your sister?"

"No, I want to go with my sister. I want to be with her forever." Princess Huai'an said, "I just can't understand why my sister would take me away?"

"You will understand later." Chu Zhao rubbed her little head with his chin, but did not say the rest of the words.

The battlefield is dangerous, and the palace is even more dangerous. She cannot leave her cherished child in that dangerous place.

A'ao followed her on horseback, sensing an unusual aura from her sheer silence. When they set up camp in the evening, he asked her while others were busy: "Your Majesty, is there anyone in the capital?" What happened?"

"Why do you ask, what did you find?" Chu Zhao wanted to test him and asked instead without answering.

A'ao said: "The king brought out all the people he cares about, even the little princess who is a few years old. It feels like he is afraid that someone will use the people you care about to threaten you."

"Yes, our Aao has indeed grown up." Chu Zhao smiled and praised him, "Actually, I just feel that I am not sure that what I am worried about will definitely happen, but it is always good to take precautions before they happen."

A'ao received the compliment, and his expression became more serious: "Why does the king feel this way? Today's capital, at least on the surface, is completely under your control."

"Yes, it does appear to be the case on the surface, but you also said it's just the surface. We don't know what will happen behind the scenes." Chu Zhao said, "Be careful with the ship that sails for thousands of years. No matter what, it's always good to be on guard. .”

"What about Eunuch Feng?" A'ao said, "Your Majesty took everyone away and left him alone. Aren't you afraid that he would be threatened?"

"Do you think anyone can threaten him?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile.

Aao: "..."

That's right. It would be fine if Eunuch Feng didn't threaten others. How could others dare to threaten him?

While the two were talking, Xie Chengfeng came over and said that his friend from the Tianji Sect had found out about Yun Qi and the three hundred light cavalry in a town under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou.
