The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

Five days later, several carriages drove out of the Shen Mansion.

Except for one of the luxurious carriages which was for passengers, the rest were filled with various items.

At the same time, the gate of Linjiang Palace was also opened.

More than a dozen carriages drove out one after another, loaded with all kinds of items and supplies.

There was a large and luxurious carriage in the middle. When the curtain was lifted, Feng Zhenzhu's face appeared and she waved to the people behind her who were seeing her off.

The two teams of carriages drove out of the south gate one after another, eventually connecting one after the other and heading south.

Halfway through the journey, the convoy stopped, Feng Zhenzhu got off the carriage and walked towards the carriage where Cui Lingyi was.

"Ali, the journey is boring, let me accompany you!"

Shen Du's face in the car suddenly became gloomy.

Just as he was about to speak, Cui Lingyi quickly pushed him out.

"You should get out quickly. We don't know if there will be any danger along the way. Aren't you afraid sitting in the car?"

After hearing this, Shen Du got out of the car reluctantly.

But his complexion looked much better.

When he saw Feng Zhenzhu, he wanted to give her some advice, but when he thought of how she had saved Cui Lingyi several times, he said nothing.

He mounted his horse, walked in front, and guarded the team personally.

The carriage started from then on.

Cui Lingyi and Feng Zhenzhu were chatting happily in the car.

"Sister Pearl, is that wild place in the south really better than the capital?"

"Of course, the South is wild because there are few people and it has not been developed. In fact, the place is rich in resources and has many rare treasures. The most important thing is that it has a good climate and it is spring-like all year round. It is most suitable for raising a delicate beauty like you..."

"Sister Pearl, when will you stop making jokes like this?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth."

Cui Lingyi was also convinced.

"Okay, let's not argue about this. What I'm worried about now is that Regent King Xie Yuan. He has been operating in the South for so long, will he give up so easily and return to the capital obediently?"

Feng Zhenzhu snorted.

"I guess the regent is eager to go back. Otherwise, Shen Du would not have come up with such an idea. Now that all the major forces in the court have fallen, it is the time for the regent to dominate. How could he give up such a good opportunity?"

"Hearing what you said, it does make sense. But can't Emperor Wen see that? Letting Xie Yuan return to the capital might lead to a struggle for his power."

"Even if he sees it, he will still do it."

"Why?" Cui Lingyi didn't understand.

When Shen Du came back that day, he said that he had asked for permission from His Majesty to guard the South.

Xie Jin also requested an imperial decree to become a vassal.

Emperor Wen simply sent the two of them to the south together.

When asked why Emperor Wen was so jealous, he refused to say.

This curiosity has been tormenting her for several days.

Feng Zhenzhu smiled.

"Of course he was scared. The Queen's party and the Prince of Yan all rose slowly. Your Shen Du has made great contributions, and Emperor Wen is worried that he will be the future Prince of Yan of the Yue family, so he wants to get rid of him, but he is afraid of the gunpowder technique, so he dare not do it."

"I just recently learned that when Xie Jin was a child, he was discussed as the crown prince. This time he went to the Northern Frontier again and got so close to Shen Du. How could the dog emperor not have a problem with him?"

After hearing this, Cui Lingyi became even more confused.

"If that's the case, why did Emperor Wen put the two together? Shouldn't he keep them far apart?"

Feng Zhenzhu shook her head.

"Although Dajing is big, there are only one or two bitter and cold places. Now Xu Junyao and Shan Ya from Beijing are leading troops in the northern border, and they are on good terms with us. It would be extremely inappropriate to send any of them to the northern border."

"After looking around, only the South is the most suitable. It will also be a good opportunity to recall the auxiliary king who has his own army back to the capital and take back the military power. It's a plan that kills two birds with one stone..."

After hearing this, Cui Lingyi also understood.

"If that's the case, Emperor Wen's move is more than killing two birds with one stone. I think the regent will be left alone after he returns to the capital. It won't be easy for him to seize power. He asked us to go to the South without giving us any soldiers. It's obvious that he wants us to fend for ourselves. I didn't expect that Emperor Wen has such a vicious heart..."

Feng Zhenzhu smiled.

"Of course, since ancient times, no emperor has ever been merciful. The previous Emperor Wen was just an illusion..."

Fear flashed through Cui Lingyi's heart.

"....Luckily we escaped this disaster."

Feng Zhenzhu pulled her hand over and patted it soothingly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine once we get to the Southland."

"Ah."

In the team outside, Shen Du and Xie Jin were riding one horse each, walking side by side.

Say a word or two from time to time.

"Have you thought it through? When we get to the South, the regent's army will be on the march. How can we defend it with just a few of us?"

"What's there to defend?" Shen Du narrowed his eyes.

"I have already sent people to various places in the South. When we arrive, maybe those Shanrong will line the streets to welcome us."

Xie Jin was a little surprised when he heard this.

"No way, what did you do?"

Shen Du curled his lips slightly.

"Nothing, just to promote the power of gunpowder. Oh, by the way, I have already made the musket. It is indeed better than the bow and arrow."

Xie Jin suddenly understood.

"You are taking the initiative! You really know how to make use of your advantages. No wonder Feng Zhenzhu wants to give you the gunpowder technique..."

Shen Du snorted.

"Why do you sound quite dissatisfied? Or are you also interested in that position?"

Xie Jin's head immediately shook like a rattle.

"You don't want to. My Pearl doesn't like power, and I have no interest in governing a country."

Unexpectedly, Shen Du's expression became serious.

"That won't do. It's fine if you weren't interested before, but now that you're in the South, you should also start preparing to build a Southland, right?"

"Southern Country?" Xie Jin was shocked and looked around quickly.

Seeing that no one noticed them, he lowered his voice.

"What are you going to do? Rebel?"

"What rebellion?" Shen Du glanced at him lightly.

"I am the Duke of Ning who is stationed in the Southland. You are the master of the Southland. The imperial edict clearly states that. How can this be considered a rebellion?"

Xie Jin swallowed his dry throat.

"But that's just a fiefdom!"

"So what if it's a fiefdom? Wouldn't it be better if it became a southern kingdom?" Shen Du said sternly, "Or do you want to just wait for Emperor Wen to take action, and you and Doctor Feng will go to hell and become wild mandarin ducks..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jin could no longer hold back.

"You damn Shen Du, you dare to curse me and Zhenzhu, believe it or not..."

Shen Du glanced over and Xie Jin instantly stopped talking.

"Forget it. I know you are doing this for our own good, so let's just leave it at that. But I don't care about these things. No matter what you do, I, Xie Jin, only want to be a carefree King of Linjiang..."

Shen Du twitched his lips speechlessly, whipped the horse's legs, and the team immediately sped up.
