Most afraid of the heroine's sudden concern

After each emperor succeeds to the throne, the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian will jointly select some suitable year names.

Xia Qingge's reign title was Yuge, Cang Yu's Yu, Xia Qingge's Song.

The eighth year of Yuge, the eighth year after Xia Qingge succeeded to the throne, that is, this year.

Two months had passed since Meng Yanshuang ordered the attack on Cang Yu. Judging from the time, within one and a half months, Zi Xiao's army was ready to go, and started to attack the border half a month ago.

Zixiao is located in the northwest of Cangyu, but it is mainly to the west.Even if they wanted to attack, they should break through from the west, but this time it was Chongyuan from the northern border who sent a letter. It seemed that Zixiao had secretly united with Cang Yu's subordinate country in the north.

That subsidiary country originally belonged to Zi Xiao, but Zi Xiao died many years ago. When Cang Yu had just cleaned up the fourth big country that existed at that time, he planned to take advantage of it. Beat Cang Yu to death, but built his own city into it.

Now that Zi Xiao came from the north, it should be Meng Yanshuang who has won over the queen of that small country.

Xia Qingge stroked the back of the letter paper with one hand, and was suddenly taken aback.

She looked at Ximo beside her, and Ximo understood. She took the letter and looked at it twice. Before she could speak, another person came from outside the hall.

"The carrier pigeon at the border has arrived!"

Although the carrier pigeon is a few days faster than the [-]-mile express, the journey is far away, and whether the letter can be delivered is still a problem, and someone needs to pick up the carrier pigeon halfway, and then replace it with a carrier pigeon who is familiar with the next location, and there is also a risk of news leaking , Unless the time is tight, the border will not use carrier pigeons to send messages.

It was the imperial army who delivered the letter before, and the messenger was taken to rest in the inn outside the palace because of the long-distance fatigue.But this time the person who came was a young man in a white robe.

The young man is responsible for raising the pigeons in the palace, and the pigeons come back to him first.

The young man stepped forward and whispered a few words in Ximo's ear. Ximo nodded and walked towards Xia Qingge.

"Meng Yanshuang took command in person, and now three cities have been recovered. According to this speed, the capital can be reached within three months."

After finishing speaking, Ximo lowered her voice again, her tone unprecedentedly serious: "General Chongyuan said in a letter that Meng Yanshuang sent two thousand dark guards when he dispatched troops, and they were divided into four teams, and the two teams were responsible for protecting the emperor. Acting, the two teams are responsible for helping the emperor to control His Majesty."

On the letter sent by Chongyuan, there is an imperceptible content behind it, if it is not one of them, even if they know there is a mystery in it, they have no idea what is written.

Xia Qingge smiled, picked up the envelope, put it together with the letter paper, and lit it with the burning candle at the corner of the table.

Seeing this, the clever palace man at the side immediately trotted to the back and brought the brazier.

Looking at the letter burning in the brazier, only one corner remained, with the word "Meng Yanshuang" on it, and assuming that it was a letter from the border, I could probably guess a little bit.

Xia Qingge didn't seem to see anything, even though the little eunuch hurried away with the brazier in hand.

Qiu Tang suddenly leaned over, and whispered in Xia Qingge's ear, "Why did you let him go before it was completely burned?"

Xia Qingge raised her eyebrows, put the wine glass to her lips, with a smile in her eyes, but her tone was unbearably cold.

"There are still people who want to see it, so naturally it can't be burnt clean."

Qiu Tang looked sideways.

This means... Xia Qingge is going to set someone up?

Qiu Tang couldn't help but look back, and saw the little eunuch put the brazier on the low table at one side, looked around, carefully picked up the leftover pieces of paper, and then walked towards the side door.

Qiu Tang didn't know who he was sending the letter to, but Xia Qingge knew it very well.Seeing him go out, he looked away.

Xi Liang who was at the side had already walked out and took away the three hidden guards hiding in the hall.

Tonight must be bloody.

Seeing that Xia Qingge burned the letter, and didn't mean to mention it at all, everyone buried their heads in silence, all of them looked solemn, and they were all guessing the situation at the border.

Expediting eight hundred miles is enough to explain the problem, but Xia Qingge felt a little happy after reading the letter. After the boy came in and said that the pigeon had brought back the letter, he heard the content and his face was solemn again.

Hard to guess.

The singing and dancing in the hall is peaceful, but there is only pure excitement. The air pressure in the hall is so low that the dancing dancers dare not smile.

The banquet ended in a hurry, and everyone also forgot the purpose of coming, one by one rushing out, as if there was some man-eating monster in the hall.

Xia Qingge and Qiu Tang left before everyone left, and Xia Qingwen followed them when they saw them leave.

At this moment, a few people were walking on the quiet path, and there were two maids holding lamps in the front and back. Ximo found an excuse to leave since she left the Taichang Palace, but she actually brought someone to protect her in the dark.

The letters sent by Chongyuan all have time on them, and it has been two months since Meng Yanshuang ordered the attack on Cangyu, and when the army was pressing down on the border, the dark guards sent should have arrived in the capital.

I thought that my side was the one who laughed at the other party's useless efforts, but I didn't expect Meng Yanshuang to send a secret guard.

It's not that Meng Yanshuang has never experienced Xia Qingge's methods. Xia Qingge beat her when she used Meng Ran at the beginning, but she didn't seem to see Xia Qingge's strength clearly.

In other words, she was too confident in herself.

In fact, in Meng Yanshuang's plan, Xia Qingge is completely a petty woman who knows nothing but holds grudges.

So she broke through the border and headed towards the capital, while sending secret guards to the capital.

After all, a team of 2000 people is much faster than an army of hundreds of thousands. Xia Qingge didn't get the news until Meng Yanshuang took back several cities in Cangyu, and at this time, the dark guards had already arrived.

Before Xia Qingge could react, control her and let Meng Ran, who is the emperor, lead the ministers who have already gathered in the court to control the officials, and order the city lords under Cang Yu's command , opened the city gate to welcome the soldiers of Zixiao.

Therefore, Xia Qingge did not receive the news about the dark guards entering the city, because some officials obstructed it.

After all, 2000 people, if there is no one to help, they will not be able to hide.

Judging from the time, perhaps the dark guard has been in the city for a long time, but they are still discussing how to deal with Xia Qingge.

Or, they were waiting for news from Meng Yanshuang.

Now that the news they want has arrived, if Xia Qingge's guess is correct, they will make a move immediately.

If Ximo didn't know that there might be Zixiao's hidden guards around Xia Qingge, she would definitely not be as vigilant as she is now.

After knowing it, Ximo and the others looked at Xia Qingge's side while paying attention to the surroundings.

Sure enough, a few people in black clothes who were not too concealed were found, and there were many unobvious breaths around.

Everyone's breathing rhythm is different, if Ximo doesn't know the appearance of the other person, he can also distinguish people by breathing.On the premise of knowing the aura of each of Xi Liang's hidden guards, Xi Liang can easily know whether the other party is one of his own.

The hidden guards in the palace were all taught by well-known chivalrous men in Jianghu, and their breath-holding skills are top-notch. As long as Ximo asks everyone to be quiet for a while, after knowing the location of those people, he will be more confident in protecting Xia Qingge's safety.

Ximo knows where Xia Qingge is going. As a former secret guard, she knows how to go and where to hide if she wants to follow Xia Qingge.

In the past, when she followed Xia Qingge alone, she was familiar with the breathing around her, but tonight there were suddenly so many people, it seemed that they were ready.

Ximo watched Xia Qingge and the others step over the palace gate and walked towards the main road to the Peach Blossom Hall, motioned for everyone to go directly to the Peach Blossom Hall, and then stopped by herself.

After a stick of incense, it was estimated that Xia Qingge had already walked halfway, so Ximo chased after her.

For ordinary palace people, the main road is a road that three people can walk side by side, and the small road is a gravel road that can only be passed by one person.

For Ximo, the main road is the road that runs through the various palaces in the palace. From the gate of the palace, it leads to the remaining three gates. On the way, it passes the Jinluan Hall, Tai'an Hall, and Qin Tianjian. The road is the main road.

On both sides of the main road are city walls as high as 30 meters. Above the city walls are guard posts and gunmen who are patrolled all the time.

If someone wants to assassinate or stalk here, just wait to be shot into a sieve.

Ximo immediately caught up with Xia Qingge and the others using lightness kung fu.

It gets dark early in summer, now it’s time to say hello, and there are few palace people on the road, except for the guards standing on both sides of the road holding lights at three steps and one sentry, there is only Xia Qingge on this road Several people.

When Ximo reached the main road, she deliberately slowed down.

The forbearance of breathing came from the palace wall, Ximo pretended not to know, looked up at Xia Qingge's direction, and speeded up.

Because the palace wall is too high, even if there are imperial guards lighting the lamps below, it will only illuminate the road. If it is slightly higher, it cannot be seen from above, nor can it be illuminated from below.

The dark guard is hiding there.

When he came to them, Ximo nodded to them, and said loudly on purpose: "My sister has personally led people to send you adults back, Your Majesty can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, there was a voice of relief all around.

Ximo pretended not to know, looked at it suspiciously, but stared at it for a while, then turned her head and continued to say to Xia Qingge: "The sentence in the right courtyard is far away, and my sister personally sent her back to the residence. It's late."

Among the people who came today, there is also the judge from the right court of the Imperial Hospital.

It's not that she lives far away, it's just that Ximo can't find any adults who live far away for a while, so she can only bring out an imperial doctor.

These people don't understand Cang Yu, even if they intend to control the officials, they are not interested in the imperial doctor, and no one knows whether the right court judge lives far away.

It's just that they all knew that Xi Liang was an official of the imperial order and the captain of the secret guard, and they were immediately relieved to hear that she was not there because she was going to send the courtiers back to the residence.

Ximo is also a capable person, if she didn't hear such a small sound, wouldn't it be a waste of time to be a Master Attendant.

The process of Ximo becoming suspicious and letting go of his suspicion was seen by all the hidden guards lying on the palace wall, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Approaching the gate of Qin Tianjian's palace, after confirming that there were no hidden guards in front of him, Ximo suddenly leaned over and fell directly into Xia Qingge's arms.

Xia Qingge also hugged her very well.

"Are you okay?"

Ximo nodded slightly, then stood up straight, but fell into Xia Qingge's arms with a cry of pain.

But this time, Ximo buried her head directly on Xia Qingge's shoulder.

"Fifty people, on the city wall. It is estimated that they will fight in the Peach Blossom Hall. There may be more people guarding there. One person left when I came in. It must be to report."

Naturally, the Peach Blossom Palace cannot accommodate so many people. After these people learned that Xia Qingge had gone to the Taichang Palace, except for the brigade who followed Meng Ran in the Yiran Palace and waited for the opportunity, some of them guarded the Taichang Palace. The rest were divided into several teams and guarded Xia Qingge's way back to Tai'an Hall and the bedroom respectively.

Peach Blossom Hall is the most suitable place for assassination with so many roads, and there will definitely be no fewer people there.

Xia Qingge nodded, and then hugged Ximo directly.

When the people behind saw this, some of them who knew the truth were laughing secretly at Ximo, and some of them removed Ximo, a troublesome person, from the battle list.

In fact, in the world of men, it is not uncommon to have broken sleeves and get Tao Longyang to grind the mirror. In the world of women, it is not new for a queen to like her master attendant.

Qiu Tang coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "Aunt Ximo sprained her ankle?"

Xia Qingge was worried about her bad things. After all, Ximo was a wounded person in the eyes of the group behind her. If she suddenly recovered, wouldn't it be suspicious.

"She's fine, you don't have to worry about it."

Qiu Tang: wtf? ? ?

Seeing that something was wrong, Xia Qingwen next to her winked at Qi Yu, and she stepped forward to arrest Qiu Tang.

Qiu Tang pointed at Xia Qingge angrily, and shot out the poisonous needle that had been prepared in his sleeve.

Xia Qingge and Ximo felt a chill on their wrists at the same time, but it disappeared in an instant. They thought it was the night wind and didn't pay much attention to it.

Qiu Tang was pulled by Qi Yu, seeing that the poisonous needle was not noticed by the two, he lowered his hand and snorted coldly, as if he had let the two of them go.

Xia Qingge breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she was really afraid that this unreasonable woman would make trouble here.

fortunately……

After stepping through the palace gate, the hidden guards on the wall saw Xia Qingge leave, and made trouble again.

The palace wall is high, but the palace gate is not high, and the two imperial guards guarding the gate are different from the two that they saw when they came in just now.

Those two were short in stature, and they had already snuggled up and slept together, even if Xia Qingge walked over, they didn't notice it, and the people around saw that Xia Qingge didn't pursue it, so they didn't wake them up.

That's why they could easily enter here after Xia Qingge left.

But the gate of this palace is guarded by two women who are as tall as the gate, even if they are placed among relatively tall men, they are outstanding.

But looking back, the two of them had already woken up.

If you can't rush directly, you will be discovered, and the arrow rain from the sky will shoot them to death.

If you can't go back, you will be discovered, and the arrow rain from the sky will shoot them to death.

You can't just stay there, you'll be discovered when the sun rises, and it will fall from the sky at that time...

Stop talking, feel sad!

After leaving the palace gate, Qin Tianjian is on the right side, and the Peach Blossom Hall is in front of it. Pass through the Peach Blossom Hall, go out from the door on the other side, and walk straight to the east, and you will come to Tai'an Hall.

Qiyu stepped forward, took two palace lanterns from the hand of the maid, and made the four of them retreat.

Ximo saw that the maids had left, and the people behind did not follow her. She looked at the people guarding the door, smiled slightly, and asked Xia Qingge to put her down.

After receiving the palace lantern from Qiyu, Ximo said apologetically, "Your Majesty is tired."

Xia Qingge waved her hands indifferently, then turned to Qiu Tang and said, "It's late at night, Qiu Yuan should go back to rest earlier."

Qiu Tang was taken aback, and pointed to the front, "Aren't we going back?"

Xia Qingge shook her head, "It's not us, it's you alone."

After finishing speaking, he said directly to Qi Yu: "Qi Yu, send Qiu Yuan to the palace."

It has been a long time since they left Taichang Palace, and Ximo also said that someone had gone back to report the letter, so even if there are guards in Tai'an Palace, there are not many left.

At most, they can keep a few people there, so that everything can be dealt with before Xia Qingge is tied back.

When Qiu Tang and Qi Yu went back, the original people there must have died and were hidden in a dark place.

When Qiu Tang went back at this time, what he was facing was the knife that those people wanted to kill her, so it was better to send her out of the palace directly, anyway, the palace is still safe.

Qiu Tang didn't know Xia Qingge's careful thoughts, and looked at Ximo who was staring at her.

In her hand she held a slender piece of mahogany with one end in her hand and a lantern hanging from the other.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the candles in the lantern flickered for a moment.

Qiu Tang suddenly felt lost, nodded to Xia Qingge, and said: "Lu Chen who left the palace still remembers, and besides, he can leave the palace by walking straight through the palace gate, so don't worry about Miss Qiyu."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Xia Qingge's voice calling her, she walked towards the palace gate.

And Xia Qingge, who was behind her, looked at her back, and suddenly felt that this might be a farewell.

Xia Qingwen saw her worry, and said: "San Yu is here today, and she has already followed. Sister Huang, don't worry too much. It is the palace that is not peaceful, and she will be fine."

Xia Qingge watched Qiu Tang's figure disappear beyond the palace wall. Although she was still worried, she nodded to Xia Qingwen when she thought of the next thing.

"Let's go."

Peach Blossom Palace, a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

Qiu Tang doesn't know martial arts, so he went there just to give away his head.
