Because the mountain road was blown up, it was difficult for Xie Sui and his team to take shortcuts. In order to catch up with the speed of the vanguard, they could only choose to bypass the roadblock from a nearby path. In comparison, it took a day, but Fortunately, nothing happened all the way up the mountain.

It seems that the speculation that someone wants them to go elsewhere is wrong.

Having said that, it is true that their whereabouts have been exposed. If this matter is really related to the Demon Cult, then their every move must be closely monitored. But why did they choose to blow up the mountain road instead of ambush here to catch them all?

It is indeed a bit difficult to catch them all in one go. After all, Xie Sui intends to go to the front line this time, leading all elite troops. No matter how strong the Demon Cult is, they will not dare to confront the Imperial Forest Army head-on, unless they cross the Qishui and move to Ulan country savior.

This is also impossible. The reason why Qishui is called Qishui is because it has a wide river channel with many tributaries and rapid water flow.Ulan is located in the desert north of the Central Plains. Few plants can survive. Without the tools to make boats, it will be difficult for Ulan to cross the divergent water and enter the Central Plains to destroy it.

In this way, isn't everything the Demon Cult has done in vain?Xun Sui went on a killing spree in the Golden Luan Palace, causing them to lose their wives and lose their troops. Could it be that it was purely out of revenge, just like the poison of witchcraft against Chu Jiuge?

Seeing that Chu Jiuge had a sullen face along the way, Xi Sui could also think that he was worried about the Demon Cult. If they were really capable of destroying it, they might have disturbed the government of the Southern Kingdom long ago. After all, for the Demon Cult whose core belongs to Ulan From a religious point of view, it is easier to attack if the Central Plains are divided. If they are united under one seat, the people will rise up to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Just like Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, they, the barbarians outside Yanmen Pass, have no right to covet.

It was precisely because of Chu Zhiyi's secret help that they were able to unify the six countries. If the Devil's Cult was really angry and forced to use Chu Zhiyi as a bargaining chip, what should they do?

The Devil's Cult worked hard, spent more than a hundred years, step by step, and finally developed to where it is today. However, they suffered heavy losses due to the traitors who broke into the interior. If it were any one of them, they might kill Chu Zhiyi.But Chu Jiuge guessed that the Demon Cult would not, because Chu Zhiyi was not on the same boat with them from the beginning, and might become a weight to save his life in the end.

The more Chu Jiuge thinks about it, the more he has a headache. These days he has been worrying about this matter. After much deliberation, there is no result. He must be busy with government affairs, and these tedious matters can only be undertaken by him alone.

What's more, Chu Zhiyi is only the relationship between a mentor and an apprentice to Xun Sui. During the few years when Chu Jiuge entered Kunlun, Chu Zhiyi held a high position in the court and gained the trust of Nan Wang, so he was also appointed as a teacher. However, he did not choose the much-loved eldest son He Zipei, he only wanted to teach the second son He Liangjin, and when he was most confused, he sent the young Chu Jiuge to solve the confusion of his naming, and set the After breaking the bond between the two, he also used his life to push him to the throne in the future.

As far as Xi Sui is concerned, Chu Zhiyi did have the kindness to know him, but when Chu Zhiyi left, he was still young, and his memory of him may not be very deep. Now, maybe he will not be there for someone who seems to be so many years ago. People who have already died have been entangled too much, and Chu Jiuge didn't want to ruin his country and society because of it. For many days, he was silently worried, unwilling to confide his heart to Xiang Sui.

In fact, how could it be possible that Xie Sui could not see the pain in his heart? Although he didn’t know why he was tired, the sorrow was real. The reason why Xie Sui didn’t ask was very simple. It is real torture. He has more burdens than ordinary people, and he has to keep more secrets. If he is asked, it will only make him in a dilemma.

With Chu Jiuge's sullen look, he enjoyed the scenery that he had never seen before along the way.Chu Jiuge's legs had improved a lot, so Xi Sui carried him onto the horse's back, let him lean in his arms, and wrapped him in a cloak to prevent the cold wind from blowing him ill.

"It's really cold, but the air is also very fresh. Maybe we should come here to escape the heat in summer." Chu Jiuge let out a breath with a smile, watching the fog dissipate in the air, which is also a scene that is hard to see in Jiangnan. But in Kunlun, it is already commonplace.

"Maybe before summer, I will be able to rule the world. At that time, I must move the imperial capital to Chang'an. It was the imperial capital in the Tang Dynasty. It has a solid foundation and is suitable for unified management of local provinces."

Chu Jiuge murmured: "Chang'an, Chang'an, long-term peace and stability. If you can enter the Daming Palace, maybe the world will really return to peace."

How envious of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the harmony of the people, the prosperity of the country and the people's peace, as long as the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be reappeared, his wish can be regarded as fulfilled.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiuge couldn't help laughing at himself, isn't it just because he believes that the man behind him can reappear the prosperous age, so he makes unremitting efforts for this?

There is nothing wrong with people being ambitious, but like the first emperor, you can do what you want.

I don't know when the snow stopped. It was seven inches thick on the ground, and the horseshoes creaked and creaked when they stepped on it, leaving a string of footprints on the soft and white snow.Chu Jiuge appreciates this kind of scenery, especially when paired with the snow hanging on the surrounding dead trees. The sharp color contrast prevents people from being blinded by the light refracted by the white snow. Walking on this road is like walking in ink painting. Danqing is generally depicted on paintings on yellow silk.

"Seeing this scenery, will you feel better?" Xie Sui asked, Chu Jiuge huddled in his arms, and answered him with a relaxed expression, suddenly felt a little hard touch on his back, and turned back Look, seeing him turn his head, Zeng Sui took off a jade pendant from his neck.

"Do you still remember that you gave it to me after you solved the confusion of naming it for me? You said it was the only thing your father gave you other than loneliness and fear. You stayed with it for the rest of your life in Kunlun The most difficult years, I hope it can also give me the courage to overcome loneliness. As you said, I did it, and now I return it to you, I hope my breath can stay on it, and replace it when I am not around I'll be with you."

A jade pendant engraved with dragons, flying phoenixes, was sent back and forth by the two, and finally returned to Chu Jiuge's neck, but now it has a deeper meaning-Chu Zhiyi's apology to his adopted son, and Xun Sui's apology Chu Jiuge's love.

That piece of warm suet jade was hanging on Chu Jiuge's chest, and it was still full of body temperature. Chu Jiuge caressed through the clothes, realizing that this piece of jade carried the love of the two people who cared about him most in the world. Love, if Chang Lingge is still alive, seeing him like this, he should be completely relieved.

Chu Jiuge looked up at the gloomy sky, which was firmly covered by dark clouds, preventing a ray of sunlight from passing through.Suddenly, he seemed to see Chang Lingge's haggard face.

Now that I have become the sole prime minister, you can rest assured... I will fulfill your last wish for you...

However, not only these few times, but when encountering the same cloudy sky as that day afterwards, Chu Jiuge will inevitably think of Chang Lingge, his last entrustment before his death, and the lonely back of leaving alone.

That is to say, from this day on, Chu Jiuge has to endure the nightmare of Chang Lingge's departure every night. No matter how he stretches out his hand and tries his best to restore it, he can't touch Chang Lingge who has passed away.

"Don't even think about it, the Sri Lankan has passed away. After many years, we will all turn into a handful of dust under the mud. Time flies, only true love shines in the long river of history. And all we can do is Let their names go in the history books, that's all."

Xie Sui couldn't feel Chu Jiuge's despair personally, he only knew that he could try to get him out of the predicament, and be immersed in the sadness of his loved one's departure forever. According to Chu Jiuge's physical condition, he must not live long.

"I'm sorry brother, I didn't realize it until now. I can see his sad face every night, but I can't do anything... What should I do?"

Xi Sui ordered Mo Huaichun to mix a few sedatives, which made Chu Jiuge fall into a deep sleep. Looking at the bruises in his eyes, Xi Sui knew that if he was not allowed to take a good rest, he might die suddenly. All he could do was to use drugs to maintain his body functions, and he couldn't solve the problem from the root.

"Send someone to send me an order to return to Lin'an, and General Minghua immediately arranges for the construction of the Changle Mausoleum. Since he is a loyal minister, I must give him an explanation."

According to the ancient rules, the construction of mausoleums can begin in the second year after a prince succeeds to the throne, and Xun Sui is no exception. However, when the Changle Mausoleum was built, the war had not yet broken out, and the countries in the Central Plains maintained a delicate balance.

Later, the rich Yan Kingdom was wiped out by a miscellaneous army formed by other countries. The gold and silver treasures were looted, and the countries used them to fill the treasury and pay the army. Rob.Later, he succeeded to the throne, and the Wei State was also included in the name of the Southern Kingdom, and more and more craftsmen could be used to build the royal tomb.

Counting it, it has been more than ten years since the Changle Mausoleum was built, and the construction did not stop until the preparations for war against the Yan Kingdom.Who would have thought that because of Chu Jiuge's efforts later, no matter whether it was the Yan State or the Qi State, they became the favorites without a single soldier. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the project of Changle Mausoleum did not continue.

"But Your Majesty, is it too urgent to build it now?"

Looking at the direction of the carriage where Chu Jiuge was, he sighed deeply, "If the royal tomb is built, the loyal officials who were reused during their lifetime can also be buried in the outer burial room. I do this in the hope that Chang Ling Ge can have a destination, and Jiu Ge's most urgent wish can be fulfilled."
