When a straight man is bound to the matchmaker system [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 118 One way to the north (1)
Fang Yu raised his eyelids and looked at Luo Huaqing, without speaking for a while.
Kneeling on one knee is a great gift of the royal family of Xuanyin Kingdom, and it is used to meet the royal nobles who are higher than their own generation.The young man kneeling in front of him had a tall figure and a beautiful complexion. He really looked like a talented person, which made people heartbroken.
But his mood was indescribably complicated.
Now the relationship between Xuanyin and Qingli can be said to be in the same situation. His Royal Highness Xuanyin came here uninvited. Not only did he conspire with His Second Highness Qingli to poison the former prince Fang Chengyao, he even brutally killed the former after the plot failed.In other words, the deaths of his two heirs are inseparable from this person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a sea of blood and deep hatred.
However, this Second Highness Xuanyin...
Since he came to Qingli Kingdom as a proton five years ago, he has always kept himself safe, never done anything unreasonable, and has an excellent attitude towards the servants. Five words and four beauties in one sentence, full of peace of mind.
What's more, the relationship between him and Luo Qian is definitely not an ordinary brotherly relationship.
"Let's be free from courtesy." Fang Yu sighed softly, "Come here, give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Luo Huaqing sat down on the sandalwood chair brought by the servant, and looked up at the exhausted Emperor Qingli: "Dare to ask Your Majesty to summon you, but because of the theft of Lan Zhen's ancient sword?"
Seeing him straight to the point, Fang Yu no longer detoured, and nodded solemnly:
"Exactly... I heard Ci'er say that you are willing to take back the ancient sword for Qingli. But no matter what, Luo Qian is your brother in name. If you denounce him publicly, you will communicate with him secretly. Song, what should I do?"
This question was so unceremonious that even Fang Muci who was waiting quietly couldn't help frowning, but Luo Huaqing didn't seem to care at all, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty does not need to worry about this matter. The enmity between me and Luo Qian is probably not inferior to yours."
"Oh? There is such an inside story?" Fang Yu was aroused by his words, "If the Second Highness doesn't mind, you might as well explain it to me."
"Luo Qian is a vicious person. If you explain everything to His Majesty in detail, I'm afraid it will pollute your ears."
Luo Huaqing curled her lips into a smile, the corners of her mouth curved coolly:
"My grievances with him still start from ten years ago."
"If Your Majesty knows something about Emperor Xuanyin, that is, my father Luo Qianxu, you must have heard of the deep love between him and the noble concubine Liu Sixian."
The flowing phoenix eyes turned lightly, he folded his hands on his knees, and raised a section of his neck that was white and slender:
"Liu Sixian is my mother and concubine. There are four imperial heirs under Emperor Xuanyin's knees. Among them, the little princess Luo Bingxi and I are both descendants of Concubine Liu, and Luo Qian and the eldest princess Luo Qingyang are the children of Empress Tang Mingcai. .”
"In the harem, favoring the concubine by divine grace is the original sin. Because the emperor loves the noble concubine, and even plans to abolish the empress and re-establish her, it aroused Empress Tang's jealousy and retaliation."
Luo Huaqing sighed, and the voice paused for a moment, as if it was a bit unsustainable:
"...Half a month after the news of the re-establishment of the empress came out, the concubine mother suddenly contracted a cold, and her illness became severe. No decoction and medicine therapy was effective, but it was such an ordinary ailment that easily killed the concubine mother. life."
"I thought all of this was God's will, but after I asked the servants in the palace, I learned that the decoction that the mother took when she was sick was not prescribed by the imperial doctor at all, but was specially prepared by the medicated food room. All the affairs of the Shiri Medicinal Food Room are handled by the First Prince's Mansion."
There was a slight sarcasm in his eyes: "At that time, I still refused to believe it. I was only the head of the head, and Luo Qian was only five years older than me. My mother and concubine have always treated him tenderly and kindly, but anyone with the slightest conscience , and it is impossible to put the amiable elder to death just because of the so-called posthumous position."
Fang Yu was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Fang Muci, who was watching coldly, with a sense of pity soaking into his heart.
Since ancient times, the strife of imperial power has been the most ruthless thing in the world, and the absolute cruelty in it cannot be understood by those who have experienced it first-hand.Even though he has experienced vicissitudes, it is still unbearable to face such cruel brotherhood, let alone Fang Muci who is still young?
He was framed and murdered his closest elder brother, was drawn indiscriminately by the Three Emperor Brothers, and was even thrown into the dungeon by his biological father, and lost his beloved grandfather because of this...
He let out a long sigh, and raised his hand to cover his eyes: "So in order to prevent Concubine Liu from ascending the throne, Luo Qian, at the behest of Empress Tang, tampered with the concubine's soup and medicine through the medicinal kitchen?"
"No, the truth is not what His Majesty thinks."
Luo Huaqing shook her head lightly, her eyes were as dark as night:
"The murder of the mother and concubine was not ordered by Empress Tang... This matter was entirely done by Luo Qian."
"How is this possible?" Fang Yu suddenly widened his eyes, "Ten years ago he was only 15 years old..."
"In ancient times, Cao Chong was able to become an elephant at the age of six, and Xiang Lian was able to solve problems at the age of seven. How can a person's mind be limited by the so-called age?"
Luo Huaqing sneered and said: "It is true that Empress Tang is extremely jealous, but she is not a ruthless person through and through. Otherwise, she would not have allowed her father to favor her mother and concubine alone, and there was nothing she could do even with her precarious position. For this empress Luo Qian also doesn't respect him very much, the reason why he brazenly attacked his mother and concubine was purely to win the crown prince of Xuanyin Kingdom."
Although Luo Qian shouldn't have had many concerns about being a good son, but once Concubine Liu Gui is promoted to the position of empress, the title of the Eastern Palace will fall on Luo Huaqing's head in a short time.
What's more, this Second Highness was born with a good-looking talent, and his temperament is extremely light and gentle, which is completely different from those arrogant and domineering princes and nobles. He is deeply loved by the Jihua Palace on weekdays.Even the Grand Master is amazed by his achievements in academics, and his riding and archery skills are not far behind. If his mother and concubine are promoted to the empress again, Luo Qian will not have any chance.
So he could only take the risk and destroy everything in the most extreme way.
"After learning about this, I secretly collected evidence and presented all the witnesses and physical evidence in the medicated food room to my father, but when the day of the testimony came..."
A bitter smile emerged from the corner of Luo Huaqing's mouth: "Not only did all the maids retract their confessions on the spot and refused to admit to death, even the imperial physician who came to testify insisted that the decoction provided by the herbal diet room was absolutely fine."
At that time, he was only ten years old, shouting at the top of his voice, throwing detailed documents one by one on the faces of those who turned right and wrong:
"Why don't you tell the truth? Mother concubine died because of you, wouldn't you feel guilty and afraid when you dreamed back at Midnight?"
"She is kind to you, have you all forgotten?"
"Speak up! Tell the truth..."
At that time, he didn't understand that in this world, other than favors, money and power can influence behavior.
"...Before the confrontation," his voice was austere, "Empress Tang and Luo Qian had already controlled the relatives of the servants in the medicated food room, threatening them to kill their relatives immediately if they dared to reveal a word of the truth. You can get a lot of money, and you don’t have to continue to live a cautious life in the palace.”
"In this way, who else will support me, a down and out prince who is still young and has lost his greatest support?"
"Your Majesty must know what happened later. In just five years, Luo Qian successfully won the full support of most of the important officials and nobles in the court, and he wanted to influence Xuanyin's big and small state affairs—the father was addicted to the mother and concubine. Unable to get out of the great grief of his death, he retired early and ignored political affairs."
"Originally, according to the Qingli etiquette system, the Xuanyin proton who came to the Proton Mansion should not be me, but my elder sister Luo Qingyang. My name was signed on the document."
"I have been trapped in Qingli for five years, and I don't know anything about the situation in Xuanyin's country. Recently, news has come that my younger sister Bingxi disappeared half a month ago. In Luo Qian's hands..."
"The above are the facts that I can tell His Majesty," Luo Huaqing lowered her eyes, "I wonder if you are willing to believe my determination at this moment?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings suddenly fell into a wordless silence.
Not only Fang Yu who didn't know the past, but even Fang Muci couldn't help feeling cold after hearing his confession.
What kind of cruel and sad past is hidden under that person's gentle appearance?
She originally thought that the reason why Luo Huaqing became Xuanyin's proton was just the result of the defeat of the domestic imperial power struggle, but she did not expect that there were such right and wrong in it.
What kind of cruel reality is he facing?Obviously, the murderer who murdered his mother will soon be brought to justice, but he falls short because of the barrier of power. What kind of pain and entanglement should be in his heart, tossing and turning?
Under such pain and torment, he can still manage to protect himself, and even show such a bright smile to her...
She only saw the beauty of that smile, but didn't catch the flame of pain hidden in it.
"The ancient sword of Lanzhen is related to Qingli Guozuo, so it can't be careless," Fang Yu said in a deep voice, "If the Second Highness is willing to help Qingli to destroy Xuanyin's traitor Luo Qian, our country will definitely support it with all its strength. "
"And after this is done, Qingli will be the most solid backing for you to win Xuanyin's throne, and I hereby solemnly promise it." Seeing Luo Huaqing's expression was noncommittal, he raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
Hearing that Luo Huaqing's thoughts moved slightly, Fang Yu's price was not unattractive, and even exceeded his original expectation.
After all, he has been lurking beside Fang Muci all these years. Although he knows what His Highness thinks like the back of his hand, he doesn't know much about Emperor Qingli himself.
According to legend, he loved Bai Yuzhi, the late concubine Yugui, so he did his best to protect the Fourth Highness. However, the love of his sons and daughters could not match the emperor's intentions. In the case of the murder of the former prince, his actions were undoubtedly embarrassing. It broke Fang Muci's heart.
So his plan is to try to gather Qingli's strength to compete with Luo Qian by winning Fang Muci's support.After all, Weimingjiao's manpower is still extremely limited. Even with the power of Changfengmen, it is still not enough compared to the entire Xuanyin Kingdom.
Even after successfully returning to Xuanyin Kingdom, he must contact his mother and concubine and his old ministry as soon as possible to win the support of domestic forces.He has been away from his mother country for five years, and he is afraid that he will no longer have his own name in the center of the court. Even if Luo Qian does not obstruct it, it will be difficult to restore his original status.
However, now that Fang Yu suddenly threw out an olive branch, it was equivalent to lifting a dark corner of the night.
He stared fixedly at the person in the bright yellow brocade robe on the dragon chair, and slowly stood up: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to live up to your trust."
"I'm also thinking about Qingli's safety, not to mention, Ci'er is the sword master appointed by Lan Zhen's ancient sword, and she takes on the heavy responsibility of state affairs as a daughter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, and she also needs a reliable assistant by her side man of."
Fang Yu's kind eyes fell on the silent Fang Muci beside him, and he stretched out his hand and called softly, "Ci'er, come here."
Fang Muci's heart skipped a beat, Fang Yu's expression was always calm, and it was rare for him to show such emotion obviously, so calling himself to come forward this time must be some kind of decision in his heart.
Unexpectedly, at the same time she walked to Luo Huaqing, Fang Yu also slowly stepped down from the dragon chair, holding their wrists with his left and right hands, and then pulled them closer:
"In my opinion, Second Highness Xuanyin is a very suitable candidate. I wonder what Ci'er thinks?"
"Father, you..."
Fang Muci was at a loss for words for a while, and was so shocked by the paradoxical development of the situation that he couldn't speak, but he didn't resist much in his heart, instead, he felt some secret joy, his gaze quietly drifted towards Luo Huaqing's direction, and shyly retracted the moment he touched it.
In her heart, she was originally willing.
Although she has disguised herself as a man since she was a child, and has experienced unimaginable mental sharpening, so she is more indifferent to human relationships than ordinary women, but she has never been sure when it comes to determining the person she likes, and has never shifted.
Luo Huaqing followed him through life and death, and has been taking care of him for many years, and now he trusts him with all his heart, revealing all the secrets of his identity, if he doesn't treat each other with the same heart, how can he be worthy of such kindness and deep friendship?
From Luo Huaqing's point of view, things are completely different.
According to the meaning behind Fang Yu's words, he doesn't seem to shy away from Fang Muci's daughter, and intends to grant her the position of the East Palace according to the destiny.It's just that it's really careless to govern the huge Qingli country as a woman. After thinking about it, I came to such a compromise.
"Hua Qing, is it okay for me to call you like this?"
Fang Yu smiled slightly, his eyes were kind.
Emperor Qingli's abacus is not inaccurate. If he can successfully bring the ancient sword back to Qingli and combine it with Fang Muci, not only will he not be rewarded for this achievement, but he will also be able to make Xuanyin, who has always been on the verge of moving Completely under his command, he will be able to form an even more absolute crushing power when facing the invasion of other countries on the Qiongzhou mainland in the future.
What's more, in the eyes of ordinary people, what he gained by doing this is not only Xuanyin's throne, but also most of Qingli's Guozuo. It is really a beautiful thing to be surrounded by beauties in the second half of his life, and there is no reason to refuse at all.
Luo Huaqing curled her lips, but the smile didn't even reach the bottom of her eyes.
The price offered by Emperor Qingli was indeed very attractive...but he never planned to take back the ancient sword before sending it back to Qingli.
In any case, the real Lanzhen sword master is himself and not others; and Qingli has been perverse for many years, and many strict border treaties and proton systems have already disturbed neighboring countries. The country has been strong for a short period of time, but if such a decadent and declining political system is not fundamentally changed, it is impossible to continue the prosperity.
But he would never reveal all of this, his thoughts moved slightly, and he quickly changed into a flattered expression, and retracted his hands in refusal:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Fourth Highness is a nobleman, how can I be worthy of you? I really can't make it..."
How could Fang Yu let him withdraw his hand so easily, when he started to retreat, he increased the strength of his hand, and firmly held the two hands together:
"You were born in such a dire and hot environment as Xuanyin, but you can still maintain your original heart, and your demeanor and elegance are not inferior to my Qingli Erlang. Naturally, you are worthy of Ci'er. Don't underestimate yourself."
His eyes fell on the two of them, with some inexplicable sense of relief:
"If you can successfully bring back the ancient sword, I will be able to hand over the Qingli Kingdom to you with more confidence."
"Father!" Fang Muci's complexion changed abruptly, and he hurriedly bowed down, "You really spoiled my daughter like this..."
She did vaguely guess that Fang Yu's plan to award herself the crown prince was true, but she never expected that this would happen so quickly, completely exceeding her expectations.
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to discuss it anymore." Fang Yu smiled happily, and even faintly wiped away the thick haze that has arisen in recent days, "The stolen ancient sword cannot be delayed, and it is almost autumn now , if there is a delay of a few more days, I am afraid that there will be a cold wave on the northern border, and it will be quite difficult to start again at that time."
He withdrew his eyes and looked at Bai Jinman, who had been silent for a long time not far away: "The former door master passed away unexpectedly, and I am really sorry, I wonder what the Bai door master will do next?"
Bai Jinman glanced at him coldly, his icy jade-like pupils were filled with turmoil: "Now that the facts have been found out, the culprits who caused the tragic death of the former door master were the Second Prince Qingli and His Highness Xuanyin. Will easily let the other person go."
"As for future plans," his voice became colder, "I, Bai Jinman, am just an orphan adopted by the former head of the sect. I have no relatives or reasons in this world, and I don't want to have too much involvement with others. When the revenge is avenged, Changfengmen Naturally, he will withdraw from the Qingli Dynasty Bureau, and never intervene in any political affairs."
The purpose of Fang Yu's question is nothing more than to confirm whether Changfengmen will continue to intervene in the Qingli Dynasty in the future.
But he had already made up his mind not to participate in this matter. After all, other sects in Jianghu had complained a lot. If they didn't correct it, it might be detrimental to the long-term survival of Changfengmen.
What's more, he is different from Bai Yunxiao, at least in this huge palace, there is no one who can influence his actions anymore.
"That's fine, this trip is going to be hard, Master Bai and Hua Qing will go to Xuanyin together, and I will pray sincerely in the palace, wishing this trip all the best."
Fang Yu explained the next arrangement to everyone, then turned to the outside of the hall and summoned General Xiao Rufu of the Hussar Battalion to meet him.
Since Yeliu Island successfully escorted back, Xiao Rufu's official position has risen one after another. Now his deputy general Yao An and others have taken over his original position of major general, while he himself has been promoted to third rank, and even assumed the post of guard of the palace. on the shoulder.
When Xiao Rufu was called into the palace, Fang Yu briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter to him, then asked if there was any suitable candidate in the army, and led the army to Xuanyin with Luo Huaqing and others.
The hussars battalion is the most powerful royal army in Qingli. Compared with other military branches, it has a superior status and is extremely powerful. There are many talents in the army. In addition to lieutenant general Yao An and other wise and brave soldiers, there are also many talented people with amazing aptitude.
Xiao Rufu raised his brows. It is true that it is not difficult for him to choose a candidate to accompany him, but the crux of the matter is not here——
As the situation intensified, he himself had reasons to leave Qingli's territory temporarily for the sake of plotting in his heart.
His eyes seemed to pass over the people in the hall unintentionally, and his eyes stayed on the handsome Prince Xuanyin, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.
Others may not be able to see the clue at first, but he has excellent eyesight, and immediately connected the image of the person in front of him with the elegant and beautiful personal servant beside Fang Muci.
Why does this person look so similar to that person?Is it a coincidence, or...
"Ru Fu, what's your opinion?" Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Fang Yu cleared his throat and asked in doubt.
Only then did Xiao Rufu realize her gaffe, and hastily took a deep breath to calm herself down, and responded in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I just thought about it carefully, but I haven't decided on a suitable candidate."
"As you can see, the border is not very stable now, and the remaining evils in Yaofeng City are not eliminated. Yao An and others are performing their duties, and they can't easily leave their posts," he sighed, looking a little helpless, "Now it seems that the only person in this dynasty who can be called free to come and go is the minister."
"What you said is true."
What he said was true, Fang Yu pondered for a while, and felt that it was not unreasonable. Lan Zhen's ancient sword had a lot to do with it, and if it wasn't for a strong, reliable and reliable person, he would definitely not be able to rest assured to explain this matter.
In this way, Xiao Rufu was the most suitable candidate.
In the past, Xiao Rufu made great military exploits and fought for Qingli many times. His ability was seen in the eyes of everyone. Fang Muci and Bai Jinman had no objection to this.
In the hidden city of Yeliu Island, the scenes of Xiao Rufu's entanglement with him were still in front of his eyes. Even though he didn't pay much attention to it, the various truths behind the incident had to make him feel uneasy.
Bai Jinman and Fang Muci have basically resolved the issue of his identity, but if this person in front of him connects what Yeliu Island witnessed with himself, he may soon find out that something is wrong.
Of course, my own statement does not include all the things I learned in the middle school in Qiutang, and went deep into the Minghua Market on Yeliu Island to find materials. If Xiao Rufu was aware of the connection, the consequences would be disastrous.
But now that no one expressed any objection, his sudden jump would only attract suspicion. For the present plan, he could only avoid direct contact with Xiao Rufu as much as possible, and then try to get rid of this person's entanglement.
"Since this is the case, I will order Rufu to lead the army to accompany him. As for how to deal with the specific situation at that time, I will leave it to Hua Qing to decide."
Luo Huaqing smiled and nodded in gratitude, but he knew in his heart that Fang Yu said he would hand over the power to himself, but what he thought in his heart was that Xiao Rufu would accompany him to monitor him. Feedback the progress of the situation back home.
Ginger is still old and hot, and this statement does not deceive me.
"This trip to Xuanyin is a long way away. You should go back and prepare first. If there is no unexpected situation, you can leave in three days."
Fang Yu was physically and mentally exhausted by all the things that happened in recent days, he explained all the matters properly, and returned to the palace to rest with the help of his servant.Xiao Rufu set off first to return to the army for deployment, Bai Jinman and Ruochen then set off to Changfengmen to organize the personnel and supplies for the long journey, Fang Muci accompanied Luo Huaqing, and walked towards the Zhiton Mansion.
"I heard that the real Lin Zhuo has reported to this palace," Fang Muci joked, "I don't know what everyone in Zhixi Palace will think."
The two of them had always addressed each other as master and servant before, and this was the first time they had such a leisurely conversation in an equal manner. Luo Huaqing couldn't help but find it interesting, so he responded with a smile: "Yes, I'm afraid Xiao Dezi and the others will have something to talk about after dinner again. .”
When he spoke, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the side face was covered with a delicate outline by the sunlight, even the fine hairs were completely visible. Fang Muci's eyes flowed uncontrollably over his jade-like delicate face and slender neck, pretty. Feixia's face was slightly pink.
She had already been moved by Luo Huaqing, and she was reluctant to reveal it in the past, firstly because of his status as a servant, and secondly because of the disparity in status.
But looking at the present, he is not only a rare young talent, his status is even more comparable to his own, and he has even been with his life and death...
The dry heartland is gradually being moistened by the cool running water, and some long-dormant sprouts are about to break through the ground, stretching the branches and leaves in the warm air, and blooming delicate and beautiful heart flowers.
She stretched out her hand out of nowhere, as if she wanted to touch Luo Huaqing's cheek, but hesitated when she raised it.While she was struggling with distress, Luo Huaqing suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Your Highness, send it here."
"Huh?" Fang Muci was still lost in his own thoughts, and looked at him blankly.
Luo Huaqing couldn't help but pursed her lips helplessly: "Turning left through this intersection is the boundary of Zhixi Palace. Your Highness has helped me too much today, and the location of the Proton Mansion is remote. How can I continue to bother Your Highness?"
What does he mean... is he going to part ways with himself?
Feeling empty in his heart for no reason, Fang Muci lowered his eyelashes, and said in a voice like a gnat:
"It's actually not troublesome..."
"What did your Highness say? The wind was a bit loud, and I couldn't hear you clearly." Luo Huaqing kept smiling and turned her head slightly to look at her.
For a moment, Fang Muci felt that the other party did it deliberately, but his expression did not seem to be fake, and he was secretly ashamed, but he couldn't say this sentence again.
After the annoying heat was blown away by the breeze, she sighed leisurely, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, then I'll go back to Zhixi Palace first, you should be careful."
The movement of her leaving was a little helpless and disappointed, Luo Huaqing saw it in his eyes but didn't say anything, just watched her go away in silence.
He didn't take Fang Yu's promise to heart, not only because he had his own plans after getting Lan Zhen's ancient sword back, but also because he had no affection for Fang Yuci at all.
The mutual love in the past was just to get Qingli's support smoothly. He has seen his emotions clearly from beginning to end. In this life, except for Chen Ming, he is unwilling and will not get involved with others. This is not only about feelings His loyalty is even more cherished to that person.
Covering his chest with his slender fingers, he felt the slight pain from the emotional agitation in his heart, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly.
Just a few hours of separation is enough to miss that person to the bone, and can't wait to return to his side.
"Xiao Ming..." he murmured, slowly clenching the front of his clothes tightly.
The Yin Devourer's resentment caused great damage to Gu Jian Jianxin. In the past few days, Chen Ming has fainted and woke up, and the power of his soul has not been fully recovered. Luo Huaqing saw that his condition was really bad, so he moved and let him stay in the Qingli will maintain her health and leave for Xuanyin by herself.
He knew that hiding the truth from Chen Ming would definitely make that person angry, so he simply took advantage of the time when he was conscious and drinking the medicine, and tried to persuade him to leave with a gentle tactic.
However, Chen Ming didn't accept the move at all, blinked his jade-like eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Without me, how do you know if the ancient Lanzhen sword that Luo Qian gave you is real?"
"Without me, how do you sense the exact position of the ancient sword?"
"Without me, how can you protect the ancient sword Jianxin from the attack of the Yin Devourer?"
Luo Huaqing was speechless after this continuous questioning, her black eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, leaving obvious marks on her fair skin.
Chen Ming put down the medicine bowl, let out a long sigh, raised his hand to caress those deep eyebrows, and said softly:
"You don't have to worry so much. You know how my physical condition is, so of course I won't act recklessly. And Qingqing, your Xiao Ming is not so weak, you can choose to trust me more."
"But the one whose soul was easily injured by the Yin-Eating Demon and who could not wake up, who else is it?"
Luo Huaqing grabbed his wrist: "Xuanyin is no safer than Qingli, I can't even guarantee my own safety, let alone protect you... If something really happens to you, what should I do? good……"
The more he spoke, the more trembling his voice became. Chen Ming knew that he was worried, and was afraid that he was on the verge of a love attack again, so he shook his head helplessly, hugged his neck and pulled him towards him.
Gently biting Luo Huaqing's lips, he rubbed them angrily, and finally said in a low voice with a bit of gnashing of teeth:
"I'll be fine."
"You have to take me."
What a joke, according to the development of the plot, Luo Qian must be an enemy that should not be underestimated. Even if it is not the final boss, it must not be a simple villain cannon fodder. At such a critical moment, how could he, as the official opener, not stay by Luo Huaqing's side? ?
Furthermore, although his current state has not returned to the original state, according to the system, his health has only dropped slightly, and overall it is still at a relatively high level. There is no such thing as a fight to get a lunch question.
I am already Qingqing's exclusive sword spirit, so what's the point of taking some blood for him?
Luo Huaqing's whole body became hot from his kiss, and her more argumentative words were blocked completely and unreasonably, so she couldn't help being a little angry, and bit back fiercely.
The two embraced each other and fell on the bed, their sleeves were intertwined, their bodies pressed against each other seamlessly, each felt the heat of the other's body.
"Are you still messing around?"
Chen Ming opened her rubbed red lips, panting.
Luo Huaqing was almost laughed at by his robber-like logic, and even though he was unwilling to give up and tried to dissuade him, the other party suddenly yawned, and then his eyes blurred, and he fell limply against his embrace.
This wound to the soul...it really is the right time.
Regardless of secretly slandering himself, he supported the back of Chen Ming's neck to make him lean more comfortably in his arms, while the other hand pressed against his back to input energy, making him sleep more comfortably.
"...don't... leave me behind."
The moment before his consciousness fell into darkness, Chen Ming still remembered threatening Luo Huaqing with a vicious voice, and then he couldn't resist falling into a coma.
He closed his eyes tightly and curled up in Luo Huaqing's arms, tightly clutching the other's front and refused to let go. Luo Huaqing couldn't bear to disturb his sleep, so he sighed secretly, and slowly lay down on the edge of the bed.
It seems that I really dote on him lawlessly.
The whole day's exhausting thoughts also greatly consumed Luo Huaqing's energy. He hugged Chen Ming and patted his back, and soon he became unconscious and fell into a deep sleep.
Silent all night.
Three days later, the coalition forces from Weimingjiao, Changfengmen, and Qingli's army gathered in the northern suburbs of Yaofeng City and set off for Xuanyin Kingdom in the north.
"From Yaofeng City to the western suburbs of Luohui City, you need to pass through the Shuli Mountains and Luoyan Swamp on the way. The Wushao Ridge in the western suburbs is also an insurmountable natural moat."
Luo Huaqing pointed out the way to Xuanyin for everyone:
"Luohui City is surrounded by mountains on the north, east, west and three sides. The only way to enter the city is in the south. Luo Qian will definitely send heavy troops to guard there. If we enter the city from the south, we will fall into his encirclement."
"The northern mountain range is in the opposite direction to our route, so it is not suitable as an alternative strategy for entering; while the Lianshuo mountain range in the east has many valleys, and people who are not familiar with the terrain can easily get lost in it. We are pressed for time, and we should try not to enter unless it is absolutely necessary. Choose to enter the city through here."
"And Wushao Ridge in the west—"
He traced a tall cliff on the map with his fingertips: "It seems to be an insurmountable moat, but there is a relatively low saddle between the high cliffs, we can use that as a breakthrough to try to climb over the black Sheath Ridge, enter Luohui City."
"In Luohui City, I have already deployed people to manage the situation in advance. When we reach the border of Luohui City, they will welcome us into the city."
"So, do you have any objections?"
"The Second Highness knows Xuanyin's terrain best. I'm just talking on paper at most. Naturally, I won't have any objections."
Xiao Rufu's eyes never moved away from Luo Huaqing's body for a moment, his eyes were deep, and his smile was playful, especially when he mentioned the respondent in Luohui City, his smile became stronger.
Luo Huaqing didn't notice his gaze, turned around and nodded to Bai Jinman and the others, then returned to the prepared car.Xiao Rufu and Bai Jinman also returned to their respective teams, urging everyone to move forward.
Chen Ming and Hua Yao were waiting for Luo Huaqing in the carriage, seeing him frowning and looking unhappy, they asked:
"What's going on here?"
In the past few days, Hua Yao has increased the dosage, and Chen Ming's injury has recovered very quickly. Except that the sleep time is still a bit long, and he will no longer be in a state of confusion.
He put Luo Huaqing's fingers in the palm of his hand, leaned close to him and pecked lightly on his cheek:
"Who made our Qingqing unhappy?"
In the deepest part of his love, he was so tired and crooked that he was completely natural, and he didn't even care about the existence of the capitalized light bulb Hua Yao beside him.
Although Qingxiu has been ignorant for many years, seeing the intimacy between Chen Ming and Luo Huaqing, Hua Yao still seemed a little at a loss, couldn't help but moved along the wall of the car, and looked away with a reddish face.
Luo Huaqing gave him a helpless glance, her phoenix eyes sparkled with shallow water, "It's not the romantic debt you caused."
Chen Ming: "???"
How did this involve yourself?
"It's still Xiao Rufu, that worry-free guy," Luo Huaqing shook his head sadly, "Even though I changed my appearance, he still seems to have an impression of me, and I'm worried that he will think of all the things that happened in the hidden city of Yeliu Island. Our plans are adversely affected."
"Is that the apprentice?" Chen Ming immediately raised his eyebrows angrily. It seems that the lessons Yeliu Island left that day were not enough, and now he wants to make trouble at this juncture? "
It hurts me, it really kills me.
Turning his mind, he immediately thought of the existence of the system treasure house. His current HP and closeness reserves are indeed quite a lot, which is more than enough to exchange for a few necessary items.
Since the target of the mission came to the door by himself, there was no room for him to be merciful.
He poked and calculated secretly, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile. Xiao Rufu outside the carriage felt a chill behind his back for no reason, couldn't help itching his nose, and sneezed several times in succession.
The journey from the northern suburbs of Yaofeng City to the border of Qingli is hundreds of miles away. Fortunately, the economy is prosperous on the road, and there are many business travelers. It is not difficult to find an inn for rest.
In the evening, they arrived at Moxi City, a small city in the north
Kneeling on one knee is a great gift of the royal family of Xuanyin Kingdom, and it is used to meet the royal nobles who are higher than their own generation.The young man kneeling in front of him had a tall figure and a beautiful complexion. He really looked like a talented person, which made people heartbroken.
But his mood was indescribably complicated.
Now the relationship between Xuanyin and Qingli can be said to be in the same situation. His Royal Highness Xuanyin came here uninvited. Not only did he conspire with His Second Highness Qingli to poison the former prince Fang Chengyao, he even brutally killed the former after the plot failed.In other words, the deaths of his two heirs are inseparable from this person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a sea of blood and deep hatred.
However, this Second Highness Xuanyin...
Since he came to Qingli Kingdom as a proton five years ago, he has always kept himself safe, never done anything unreasonable, and has an excellent attitude towards the servants. Five words and four beauties in one sentence, full of peace of mind.
What's more, the relationship between him and Luo Qian is definitely not an ordinary brotherly relationship.
"Let's be free from courtesy." Fang Yu sighed softly, "Come here, give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Luo Huaqing sat down on the sandalwood chair brought by the servant, and looked up at the exhausted Emperor Qingli: "Dare to ask Your Majesty to summon you, but because of the theft of Lan Zhen's ancient sword?"
Seeing him straight to the point, Fang Yu no longer detoured, and nodded solemnly:
"Exactly... I heard Ci'er say that you are willing to take back the ancient sword for Qingli. But no matter what, Luo Qian is your brother in name. If you denounce him publicly, you will communicate with him secretly. Song, what should I do?"
This question was so unceremonious that even Fang Muci who was waiting quietly couldn't help frowning, but Luo Huaqing didn't seem to care at all, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty does not need to worry about this matter. The enmity between me and Luo Qian is probably not inferior to yours."
"Oh? There is such an inside story?" Fang Yu was aroused by his words, "If the Second Highness doesn't mind, you might as well explain it to me."
"Luo Qian is a vicious person. If you explain everything to His Majesty in detail, I'm afraid it will pollute your ears."
Luo Huaqing curled her lips into a smile, the corners of her mouth curved coolly:
"My grievances with him still start from ten years ago."
"If Your Majesty knows something about Emperor Xuanyin, that is, my father Luo Qianxu, you must have heard of the deep love between him and the noble concubine Liu Sixian."
The flowing phoenix eyes turned lightly, he folded his hands on his knees, and raised a section of his neck that was white and slender:
"Liu Sixian is my mother and concubine. There are four imperial heirs under Emperor Xuanyin's knees. Among them, the little princess Luo Bingxi and I are both descendants of Concubine Liu, and Luo Qian and the eldest princess Luo Qingyang are the children of Empress Tang Mingcai. .”
"In the harem, favoring the concubine by divine grace is the original sin. Because the emperor loves the noble concubine, and even plans to abolish the empress and re-establish her, it aroused Empress Tang's jealousy and retaliation."
Luo Huaqing sighed, and the voice paused for a moment, as if it was a bit unsustainable:
"...Half a month after the news of the re-establishment of the empress came out, the concubine mother suddenly contracted a cold, and her illness became severe. No decoction and medicine therapy was effective, but it was such an ordinary ailment that easily killed the concubine mother. life."
"I thought all of this was God's will, but after I asked the servants in the palace, I learned that the decoction that the mother took when she was sick was not prescribed by the imperial doctor at all, but was specially prepared by the medicated food room. All the affairs of the Shiri Medicinal Food Room are handled by the First Prince's Mansion."
There was a slight sarcasm in his eyes: "At that time, I still refused to believe it. I was only the head of the head, and Luo Qian was only five years older than me. My mother and concubine have always treated him tenderly and kindly, but anyone with the slightest conscience , and it is impossible to put the amiable elder to death just because of the so-called posthumous position."
Fang Yu was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Fang Muci, who was watching coldly, with a sense of pity soaking into his heart.
Since ancient times, the strife of imperial power has been the most ruthless thing in the world, and the absolute cruelty in it cannot be understood by those who have experienced it first-hand.Even though he has experienced vicissitudes, it is still unbearable to face such cruel brotherhood, let alone Fang Muci who is still young?
He was framed and murdered his closest elder brother, was drawn indiscriminately by the Three Emperor Brothers, and was even thrown into the dungeon by his biological father, and lost his beloved grandfather because of this...
He let out a long sigh, and raised his hand to cover his eyes: "So in order to prevent Concubine Liu from ascending the throne, Luo Qian, at the behest of Empress Tang, tampered with the concubine's soup and medicine through the medicinal kitchen?"
"No, the truth is not what His Majesty thinks."
Luo Huaqing shook her head lightly, her eyes were as dark as night:
"The murder of the mother and concubine was not ordered by Empress Tang... This matter was entirely done by Luo Qian."
"How is this possible?" Fang Yu suddenly widened his eyes, "Ten years ago he was only 15 years old..."
"In ancient times, Cao Chong was able to become an elephant at the age of six, and Xiang Lian was able to solve problems at the age of seven. How can a person's mind be limited by the so-called age?"
Luo Huaqing sneered and said: "It is true that Empress Tang is extremely jealous, but she is not a ruthless person through and through. Otherwise, she would not have allowed her father to favor her mother and concubine alone, and there was nothing she could do even with her precarious position. For this empress Luo Qian also doesn't respect him very much, the reason why he brazenly attacked his mother and concubine was purely to win the crown prince of Xuanyin Kingdom."
Although Luo Qian shouldn't have had many concerns about being a good son, but once Concubine Liu Gui is promoted to the position of empress, the title of the Eastern Palace will fall on Luo Huaqing's head in a short time.
What's more, this Second Highness was born with a good-looking talent, and his temperament is extremely light and gentle, which is completely different from those arrogant and domineering princes and nobles. He is deeply loved by the Jihua Palace on weekdays.Even the Grand Master is amazed by his achievements in academics, and his riding and archery skills are not far behind. If his mother and concubine are promoted to the empress again, Luo Qian will not have any chance.
So he could only take the risk and destroy everything in the most extreme way.
"After learning about this, I secretly collected evidence and presented all the witnesses and physical evidence in the medicated food room to my father, but when the day of the testimony came..."
A bitter smile emerged from the corner of Luo Huaqing's mouth: "Not only did all the maids retract their confessions on the spot and refused to admit to death, even the imperial physician who came to testify insisted that the decoction provided by the herbal diet room was absolutely fine."
At that time, he was only ten years old, shouting at the top of his voice, throwing detailed documents one by one on the faces of those who turned right and wrong:
"Why don't you tell the truth? Mother concubine died because of you, wouldn't you feel guilty and afraid when you dreamed back at Midnight?"
"She is kind to you, have you all forgotten?"
"Speak up! Tell the truth..."
At that time, he didn't understand that in this world, other than favors, money and power can influence behavior.
"...Before the confrontation," his voice was austere, "Empress Tang and Luo Qian had already controlled the relatives of the servants in the medicated food room, threatening them to kill their relatives immediately if they dared to reveal a word of the truth. You can get a lot of money, and you don’t have to continue to live a cautious life in the palace.”
"In this way, who else will support me, a down and out prince who is still young and has lost his greatest support?"
"Your Majesty must know what happened later. In just five years, Luo Qian successfully won the full support of most of the important officials and nobles in the court, and he wanted to influence Xuanyin's big and small state affairs—the father was addicted to the mother and concubine. Unable to get out of the great grief of his death, he retired early and ignored political affairs."
"Originally, according to the Qingli etiquette system, the Xuanyin proton who came to the Proton Mansion should not be me, but my elder sister Luo Qingyang. My name was signed on the document."
"I have been trapped in Qingli for five years, and I don't know anything about the situation in Xuanyin's country. Recently, news has come that my younger sister Bingxi disappeared half a month ago. In Luo Qian's hands..."
"The above are the facts that I can tell His Majesty," Luo Huaqing lowered her eyes, "I wonder if you are willing to believe my determination at this moment?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings suddenly fell into a wordless silence.
Not only Fang Yu who didn't know the past, but even Fang Muci couldn't help feeling cold after hearing his confession.
What kind of cruel and sad past is hidden under that person's gentle appearance?
She originally thought that the reason why Luo Huaqing became Xuanyin's proton was just the result of the defeat of the domestic imperial power struggle, but she did not expect that there were such right and wrong in it.
What kind of cruel reality is he facing?Obviously, the murderer who murdered his mother will soon be brought to justice, but he falls short because of the barrier of power. What kind of pain and entanglement should be in his heart, tossing and turning?
Under such pain and torment, he can still manage to protect himself, and even show such a bright smile to her...
She only saw the beauty of that smile, but didn't catch the flame of pain hidden in it.
"The ancient sword of Lanzhen is related to Qingli Guozuo, so it can't be careless," Fang Yu said in a deep voice, "If the Second Highness is willing to help Qingli to destroy Xuanyin's traitor Luo Qian, our country will definitely support it with all its strength. "
"And after this is done, Qingli will be the most solid backing for you to win Xuanyin's throne, and I hereby solemnly promise it." Seeing Luo Huaqing's expression was noncommittal, he raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
Hearing that Luo Huaqing's thoughts moved slightly, Fang Yu's price was not unattractive, and even exceeded his original expectation.
After all, he has been lurking beside Fang Muci all these years. Although he knows what His Highness thinks like the back of his hand, he doesn't know much about Emperor Qingli himself.
According to legend, he loved Bai Yuzhi, the late concubine Yugui, so he did his best to protect the Fourth Highness. However, the love of his sons and daughters could not match the emperor's intentions. In the case of the murder of the former prince, his actions were undoubtedly embarrassing. It broke Fang Muci's heart.
So his plan is to try to gather Qingli's strength to compete with Luo Qian by winning Fang Muci's support.After all, Weimingjiao's manpower is still extremely limited. Even with the power of Changfengmen, it is still not enough compared to the entire Xuanyin Kingdom.
Even after successfully returning to Xuanyin Kingdom, he must contact his mother and concubine and his old ministry as soon as possible to win the support of domestic forces.He has been away from his mother country for five years, and he is afraid that he will no longer have his own name in the center of the court. Even if Luo Qian does not obstruct it, it will be difficult to restore his original status.
However, now that Fang Yu suddenly threw out an olive branch, it was equivalent to lifting a dark corner of the night.
He stared fixedly at the person in the bright yellow brocade robe on the dragon chair, and slowly stood up: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to live up to your trust."
"I'm also thinking about Qingli's safety, not to mention, Ci'er is the sword master appointed by Lan Zhen's ancient sword, and she takes on the heavy responsibility of state affairs as a daughter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, and she also needs a reliable assistant by her side man of."
Fang Yu's kind eyes fell on the silent Fang Muci beside him, and he stretched out his hand and called softly, "Ci'er, come here."
Fang Muci's heart skipped a beat, Fang Yu's expression was always calm, and it was rare for him to show such emotion obviously, so calling himself to come forward this time must be some kind of decision in his heart.
Unexpectedly, at the same time she walked to Luo Huaqing, Fang Yu also slowly stepped down from the dragon chair, holding their wrists with his left and right hands, and then pulled them closer:
"In my opinion, Second Highness Xuanyin is a very suitable candidate. I wonder what Ci'er thinks?"
"Father, you..."
Fang Muci was at a loss for words for a while, and was so shocked by the paradoxical development of the situation that he couldn't speak, but he didn't resist much in his heart, instead, he felt some secret joy, his gaze quietly drifted towards Luo Huaqing's direction, and shyly retracted the moment he touched it.
In her heart, she was originally willing.
Although she has disguised herself as a man since she was a child, and has experienced unimaginable mental sharpening, so she is more indifferent to human relationships than ordinary women, but she has never been sure when it comes to determining the person she likes, and has never shifted.
Luo Huaqing followed him through life and death, and has been taking care of him for many years, and now he trusts him with all his heart, revealing all the secrets of his identity, if he doesn't treat each other with the same heart, how can he be worthy of such kindness and deep friendship?
From Luo Huaqing's point of view, things are completely different.
According to the meaning behind Fang Yu's words, he doesn't seem to shy away from Fang Muci's daughter, and intends to grant her the position of the East Palace according to the destiny.It's just that it's really careless to govern the huge Qingli country as a woman. After thinking about it, I came to such a compromise.
"Hua Qing, is it okay for me to call you like this?"
Fang Yu smiled slightly, his eyes were kind.
Emperor Qingli's abacus is not inaccurate. If he can successfully bring the ancient sword back to Qingli and combine it with Fang Muci, not only will he not be rewarded for this achievement, but he will also be able to make Xuanyin, who has always been on the verge of moving Completely under his command, he will be able to form an even more absolute crushing power when facing the invasion of other countries on the Qiongzhou mainland in the future.
What's more, in the eyes of ordinary people, what he gained by doing this is not only Xuanyin's throne, but also most of Qingli's Guozuo. It is really a beautiful thing to be surrounded by beauties in the second half of his life, and there is no reason to refuse at all.
Luo Huaqing curled her lips, but the smile didn't even reach the bottom of her eyes.
The price offered by Emperor Qingli was indeed very attractive...but he never planned to take back the ancient sword before sending it back to Qingli.
In any case, the real Lanzhen sword master is himself and not others; and Qingli has been perverse for many years, and many strict border treaties and proton systems have already disturbed neighboring countries. The country has been strong for a short period of time, but if such a decadent and declining political system is not fundamentally changed, it is impossible to continue the prosperity.
But he would never reveal all of this, his thoughts moved slightly, and he quickly changed into a flattered expression, and retracted his hands in refusal:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Fourth Highness is a nobleman, how can I be worthy of you? I really can't make it..."
How could Fang Yu let him withdraw his hand so easily, when he started to retreat, he increased the strength of his hand, and firmly held the two hands together:
"You were born in such a dire and hot environment as Xuanyin, but you can still maintain your original heart, and your demeanor and elegance are not inferior to my Qingli Erlang. Naturally, you are worthy of Ci'er. Don't underestimate yourself."
His eyes fell on the two of them, with some inexplicable sense of relief:
"If you can successfully bring back the ancient sword, I will be able to hand over the Qingli Kingdom to you with more confidence."
"Father!" Fang Muci's complexion changed abruptly, and he hurriedly bowed down, "You really spoiled my daughter like this..."
She did vaguely guess that Fang Yu's plan to award herself the crown prince was true, but she never expected that this would happen so quickly, completely exceeding her expectations.
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to discuss it anymore." Fang Yu smiled happily, and even faintly wiped away the thick haze that has arisen in recent days, "The stolen ancient sword cannot be delayed, and it is almost autumn now , if there is a delay of a few more days, I am afraid that there will be a cold wave on the northern border, and it will be quite difficult to start again at that time."
He withdrew his eyes and looked at Bai Jinman, who had been silent for a long time not far away: "The former door master passed away unexpectedly, and I am really sorry, I wonder what the Bai door master will do next?"
Bai Jinman glanced at him coldly, his icy jade-like pupils were filled with turmoil: "Now that the facts have been found out, the culprits who caused the tragic death of the former door master were the Second Prince Qingli and His Highness Xuanyin. Will easily let the other person go."
"As for future plans," his voice became colder, "I, Bai Jinman, am just an orphan adopted by the former head of the sect. I have no relatives or reasons in this world, and I don't want to have too much involvement with others. When the revenge is avenged, Changfengmen Naturally, he will withdraw from the Qingli Dynasty Bureau, and never intervene in any political affairs."
The purpose of Fang Yu's question is nothing more than to confirm whether Changfengmen will continue to intervene in the Qingli Dynasty in the future.
But he had already made up his mind not to participate in this matter. After all, other sects in Jianghu had complained a lot. If they didn't correct it, it might be detrimental to the long-term survival of Changfengmen.
What's more, he is different from Bai Yunxiao, at least in this huge palace, there is no one who can influence his actions anymore.
"That's fine, this trip is going to be hard, Master Bai and Hua Qing will go to Xuanyin together, and I will pray sincerely in the palace, wishing this trip all the best."
Fang Yu explained the next arrangement to everyone, then turned to the outside of the hall and summoned General Xiao Rufu of the Hussar Battalion to meet him.
Since Yeliu Island successfully escorted back, Xiao Rufu's official position has risen one after another. Now his deputy general Yao An and others have taken over his original position of major general, while he himself has been promoted to third rank, and even assumed the post of guard of the palace. on the shoulder.
When Xiao Rufu was called into the palace, Fang Yu briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter to him, then asked if there was any suitable candidate in the army, and led the army to Xuanyin with Luo Huaqing and others.
The hussars battalion is the most powerful royal army in Qingli. Compared with other military branches, it has a superior status and is extremely powerful. There are many talents in the army. In addition to lieutenant general Yao An and other wise and brave soldiers, there are also many talented people with amazing aptitude.
Xiao Rufu raised his brows. It is true that it is not difficult for him to choose a candidate to accompany him, but the crux of the matter is not here——
As the situation intensified, he himself had reasons to leave Qingli's territory temporarily for the sake of plotting in his heart.
His eyes seemed to pass over the people in the hall unintentionally, and his eyes stayed on the handsome Prince Xuanyin, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.
Others may not be able to see the clue at first, but he has excellent eyesight, and immediately connected the image of the person in front of him with the elegant and beautiful personal servant beside Fang Muci.
Why does this person look so similar to that person?Is it a coincidence, or...
"Ru Fu, what's your opinion?" Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Fang Yu cleared his throat and asked in doubt.
Only then did Xiao Rufu realize her gaffe, and hastily took a deep breath to calm herself down, and responded in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I just thought about it carefully, but I haven't decided on a suitable candidate."
"As you can see, the border is not very stable now, and the remaining evils in Yaofeng City are not eliminated. Yao An and others are performing their duties, and they can't easily leave their posts," he sighed, looking a little helpless, "Now it seems that the only person in this dynasty who can be called free to come and go is the minister."
"What you said is true."
What he said was true, Fang Yu pondered for a while, and felt that it was not unreasonable. Lan Zhen's ancient sword had a lot to do with it, and if it wasn't for a strong, reliable and reliable person, he would definitely not be able to rest assured to explain this matter.
In this way, Xiao Rufu was the most suitable candidate.
In the past, Xiao Rufu made great military exploits and fought for Qingli many times. His ability was seen in the eyes of everyone. Fang Muci and Bai Jinman had no objection to this.
In the hidden city of Yeliu Island, the scenes of Xiao Rufu's entanglement with him were still in front of his eyes. Even though he didn't pay much attention to it, the various truths behind the incident had to make him feel uneasy.
Bai Jinman and Fang Muci have basically resolved the issue of his identity, but if this person in front of him connects what Yeliu Island witnessed with himself, he may soon find out that something is wrong.
Of course, my own statement does not include all the things I learned in the middle school in Qiutang, and went deep into the Minghua Market on Yeliu Island to find materials. If Xiao Rufu was aware of the connection, the consequences would be disastrous.
But now that no one expressed any objection, his sudden jump would only attract suspicion. For the present plan, he could only avoid direct contact with Xiao Rufu as much as possible, and then try to get rid of this person's entanglement.
"Since this is the case, I will order Rufu to lead the army to accompany him. As for how to deal with the specific situation at that time, I will leave it to Hua Qing to decide."
Luo Huaqing smiled and nodded in gratitude, but he knew in his heart that Fang Yu said he would hand over the power to himself, but what he thought in his heart was that Xiao Rufu would accompany him to monitor him. Feedback the progress of the situation back home.
Ginger is still old and hot, and this statement does not deceive me.
"This trip to Xuanyin is a long way away. You should go back and prepare first. If there is no unexpected situation, you can leave in three days."
Fang Yu was physically and mentally exhausted by all the things that happened in recent days, he explained all the matters properly, and returned to the palace to rest with the help of his servant.Xiao Rufu set off first to return to the army for deployment, Bai Jinman and Ruochen then set off to Changfengmen to organize the personnel and supplies for the long journey, Fang Muci accompanied Luo Huaqing, and walked towards the Zhiton Mansion.
"I heard that the real Lin Zhuo has reported to this palace," Fang Muci joked, "I don't know what everyone in Zhixi Palace will think."
The two of them had always addressed each other as master and servant before, and this was the first time they had such a leisurely conversation in an equal manner. Luo Huaqing couldn't help but find it interesting, so he responded with a smile: "Yes, I'm afraid Xiao Dezi and the others will have something to talk about after dinner again. .”
When he spoke, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the side face was covered with a delicate outline by the sunlight, even the fine hairs were completely visible. Fang Muci's eyes flowed uncontrollably over his jade-like delicate face and slender neck, pretty. Feixia's face was slightly pink.
She had already been moved by Luo Huaqing, and she was reluctant to reveal it in the past, firstly because of his status as a servant, and secondly because of the disparity in status.
But looking at the present, he is not only a rare young talent, his status is even more comparable to his own, and he has even been with his life and death...
The dry heartland is gradually being moistened by the cool running water, and some long-dormant sprouts are about to break through the ground, stretching the branches and leaves in the warm air, and blooming delicate and beautiful heart flowers.
She stretched out her hand out of nowhere, as if she wanted to touch Luo Huaqing's cheek, but hesitated when she raised it.While she was struggling with distress, Luo Huaqing suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Your Highness, send it here."
"Huh?" Fang Muci was still lost in his own thoughts, and looked at him blankly.
Luo Huaqing couldn't help but pursed her lips helplessly: "Turning left through this intersection is the boundary of Zhixi Palace. Your Highness has helped me too much today, and the location of the Proton Mansion is remote. How can I continue to bother Your Highness?"
What does he mean... is he going to part ways with himself?
Feeling empty in his heart for no reason, Fang Muci lowered his eyelashes, and said in a voice like a gnat:
"It's actually not troublesome..."
"What did your Highness say? The wind was a bit loud, and I couldn't hear you clearly." Luo Huaqing kept smiling and turned her head slightly to look at her.
For a moment, Fang Muci felt that the other party did it deliberately, but his expression did not seem to be fake, and he was secretly ashamed, but he couldn't say this sentence again.
After the annoying heat was blown away by the breeze, she sighed leisurely, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, then I'll go back to Zhixi Palace first, you should be careful."
The movement of her leaving was a little helpless and disappointed, Luo Huaqing saw it in his eyes but didn't say anything, just watched her go away in silence.
He didn't take Fang Yu's promise to heart, not only because he had his own plans after getting Lan Zhen's ancient sword back, but also because he had no affection for Fang Yuci at all.
The mutual love in the past was just to get Qingli's support smoothly. He has seen his emotions clearly from beginning to end. In this life, except for Chen Ming, he is unwilling and will not get involved with others. This is not only about feelings His loyalty is even more cherished to that person.
Covering his chest with his slender fingers, he felt the slight pain from the emotional agitation in his heart, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly.
Just a few hours of separation is enough to miss that person to the bone, and can't wait to return to his side.
"Xiao Ming..." he murmured, slowly clenching the front of his clothes tightly.
The Yin Devourer's resentment caused great damage to Gu Jian Jianxin. In the past few days, Chen Ming has fainted and woke up, and the power of his soul has not been fully recovered. Luo Huaqing saw that his condition was really bad, so he moved and let him stay in the Qingli will maintain her health and leave for Xuanyin by herself.
He knew that hiding the truth from Chen Ming would definitely make that person angry, so he simply took advantage of the time when he was conscious and drinking the medicine, and tried to persuade him to leave with a gentle tactic.
However, Chen Ming didn't accept the move at all, blinked his jade-like eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Without me, how do you know if the ancient Lanzhen sword that Luo Qian gave you is real?"
"Without me, how do you sense the exact position of the ancient sword?"
"Without me, how can you protect the ancient sword Jianxin from the attack of the Yin Devourer?"
Luo Huaqing was speechless after this continuous questioning, her black eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, leaving obvious marks on her fair skin.
Chen Ming put down the medicine bowl, let out a long sigh, raised his hand to caress those deep eyebrows, and said softly:
"You don't have to worry so much. You know how my physical condition is, so of course I won't act recklessly. And Qingqing, your Xiao Ming is not so weak, you can choose to trust me more."
"But the one whose soul was easily injured by the Yin-Eating Demon and who could not wake up, who else is it?"
Luo Huaqing grabbed his wrist: "Xuanyin is no safer than Qingli, I can't even guarantee my own safety, let alone protect you... If something really happens to you, what should I do? good……"
The more he spoke, the more trembling his voice became. Chen Ming knew that he was worried, and was afraid that he was on the verge of a love attack again, so he shook his head helplessly, hugged his neck and pulled him towards him.
Gently biting Luo Huaqing's lips, he rubbed them angrily, and finally said in a low voice with a bit of gnashing of teeth:
"I'll be fine."
"You have to take me."
What a joke, according to the development of the plot, Luo Qian must be an enemy that should not be underestimated. Even if it is not the final boss, it must not be a simple villain cannon fodder. At such a critical moment, how could he, as the official opener, not stay by Luo Huaqing's side? ?
Furthermore, although his current state has not returned to the original state, according to the system, his health has only dropped slightly, and overall it is still at a relatively high level. There is no such thing as a fight to get a lunch question.
I am already Qingqing's exclusive sword spirit, so what's the point of taking some blood for him?
Luo Huaqing's whole body became hot from his kiss, and her more argumentative words were blocked completely and unreasonably, so she couldn't help being a little angry, and bit back fiercely.
The two embraced each other and fell on the bed, their sleeves were intertwined, their bodies pressed against each other seamlessly, each felt the heat of the other's body.
"Are you still messing around?"
Chen Ming opened her rubbed red lips, panting.
Luo Huaqing was almost laughed at by his robber-like logic, and even though he was unwilling to give up and tried to dissuade him, the other party suddenly yawned, and then his eyes blurred, and he fell limply against his embrace.
This wound to the soul...it really is the right time.
Regardless of secretly slandering himself, he supported the back of Chen Ming's neck to make him lean more comfortably in his arms, while the other hand pressed against his back to input energy, making him sleep more comfortably.
"...don't... leave me behind."
The moment before his consciousness fell into darkness, Chen Ming still remembered threatening Luo Huaqing with a vicious voice, and then he couldn't resist falling into a coma.
He closed his eyes tightly and curled up in Luo Huaqing's arms, tightly clutching the other's front and refused to let go. Luo Huaqing couldn't bear to disturb his sleep, so he sighed secretly, and slowly lay down on the edge of the bed.
It seems that I really dote on him lawlessly.
The whole day's exhausting thoughts also greatly consumed Luo Huaqing's energy. He hugged Chen Ming and patted his back, and soon he became unconscious and fell into a deep sleep.
Silent all night.
Three days later, the coalition forces from Weimingjiao, Changfengmen, and Qingli's army gathered in the northern suburbs of Yaofeng City and set off for Xuanyin Kingdom in the north.
"From Yaofeng City to the western suburbs of Luohui City, you need to pass through the Shuli Mountains and Luoyan Swamp on the way. The Wushao Ridge in the western suburbs is also an insurmountable natural moat."
Luo Huaqing pointed out the way to Xuanyin for everyone:
"Luohui City is surrounded by mountains on the north, east, west and three sides. The only way to enter the city is in the south. Luo Qian will definitely send heavy troops to guard there. If we enter the city from the south, we will fall into his encirclement."
"The northern mountain range is in the opposite direction to our route, so it is not suitable as an alternative strategy for entering; while the Lianshuo mountain range in the east has many valleys, and people who are not familiar with the terrain can easily get lost in it. We are pressed for time, and we should try not to enter unless it is absolutely necessary. Choose to enter the city through here."
"And Wushao Ridge in the west—"
He traced a tall cliff on the map with his fingertips: "It seems to be an insurmountable moat, but there is a relatively low saddle between the high cliffs, we can use that as a breakthrough to try to climb over the black Sheath Ridge, enter Luohui City."
"In Luohui City, I have already deployed people to manage the situation in advance. When we reach the border of Luohui City, they will welcome us into the city."
"So, do you have any objections?"
"The Second Highness knows Xuanyin's terrain best. I'm just talking on paper at most. Naturally, I won't have any objections."
Xiao Rufu's eyes never moved away from Luo Huaqing's body for a moment, his eyes were deep, and his smile was playful, especially when he mentioned the respondent in Luohui City, his smile became stronger.
Luo Huaqing didn't notice his gaze, turned around and nodded to Bai Jinman and the others, then returned to the prepared car.Xiao Rufu and Bai Jinman also returned to their respective teams, urging everyone to move forward.
Chen Ming and Hua Yao were waiting for Luo Huaqing in the carriage, seeing him frowning and looking unhappy, they asked:
"What's going on here?"
In the past few days, Hua Yao has increased the dosage, and Chen Ming's injury has recovered very quickly. Except that the sleep time is still a bit long, and he will no longer be in a state of confusion.
He put Luo Huaqing's fingers in the palm of his hand, leaned close to him and pecked lightly on his cheek:
"Who made our Qingqing unhappy?"
In the deepest part of his love, he was so tired and crooked that he was completely natural, and he didn't even care about the existence of the capitalized light bulb Hua Yao beside him.
Although Qingxiu has been ignorant for many years, seeing the intimacy between Chen Ming and Luo Huaqing, Hua Yao still seemed a little at a loss, couldn't help but moved along the wall of the car, and looked away with a reddish face.
Luo Huaqing gave him a helpless glance, her phoenix eyes sparkled with shallow water, "It's not the romantic debt you caused."
Chen Ming: "???"
How did this involve yourself?
"It's still Xiao Rufu, that worry-free guy," Luo Huaqing shook his head sadly, "Even though I changed my appearance, he still seems to have an impression of me, and I'm worried that he will think of all the things that happened in the hidden city of Yeliu Island. Our plans are adversely affected."
"Is that the apprentice?" Chen Ming immediately raised his eyebrows angrily. It seems that the lessons Yeliu Island left that day were not enough, and now he wants to make trouble at this juncture? "
It hurts me, it really kills me.
Turning his mind, he immediately thought of the existence of the system treasure house. His current HP and closeness reserves are indeed quite a lot, which is more than enough to exchange for a few necessary items.
Since the target of the mission came to the door by himself, there was no room for him to be merciful.
He poked and calculated secretly, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile. Xiao Rufu outside the carriage felt a chill behind his back for no reason, couldn't help itching his nose, and sneezed several times in succession.
The journey from the northern suburbs of Yaofeng City to the border of Qingli is hundreds of miles away. Fortunately, the economy is prosperous on the road, and there are many business travelers. It is not difficult to find an inn for rest.
In the evening, they arrived at Moxi City, a small city in the north
