That night, there was a sudden rainstorm and thunderstorm, and the mudstone road in the mountain depression became muddy every time it rained heavily.More than half of the [-] elite soldiers that Zhao Wu brought from Youzhou were cavalry, even the well-trained war horses were miserable on the dirt road.Originally, there was a small hill on the way, which was considered flat and wide. Chen Baifei saw the sudden heavy rain and wanted to stop to avoid the rain, but Zhao Wu insisted on moving on for fear of making a mistake.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they passed a gourd waist, the rocks on both sides rolled in. In desperation, Chen Baifei had time to protect Zhao Wu.In the end, exhausted, both of them were engulfed in muddy water and fell off a cliff. When they woke up, they were already in the ravine. Fortunately, both of them were intact.

Chen Baifei raised his eyes and took a look. Although he couldn't see the sunlight, he could still see that the sky was getting darker.They fainted last night, so they didn't know if there were any wild animals in the night.Picking up some wooden branches around, Chen Baifei lit the bonfire with the torch hidden in his belt.Both of them who hadn't eaten for a day felt weak in their limbs, Chen Baifei was still able to hold on, he glanced at Zhao Wu who was still facing the sky, and said: "My lord, I will go to the woods to find some game in the end, you should be more careful."

Zhao Wu didn't say a word, Chen Baifei sighed softly, turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Wu said in a low voice: "General Chen, don't waste your energy, let's continue to find the way. Get out of this place earlier, so that the king can feel at ease."

He thought that the untrained prince would just give up. Hearing what he said, Chen Baifei's heart sank in half, and he couldn't help laughing: "My lord, the natural disasters and man-made disasters are not the only ones that are trapped here, and Gongsun Jingya must also be here." Trapped in Qingshan City, we will not be able to get out of the city for a while. Let's fill our stomachs first, and when tomorrow dawns, the way out will not be far."

Zhao Wu sat up, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Chen Baifei, and said: "General Chen is right, but this king is too hasty."

"It's not easy for the prince to go out for the first time and encounter this natural disaster again." Chen Baifei said in relief.

Seeing that Zhao Wu was speechless, Chen Baifei turned around and walked into the dense forest.With a blazing bonfire as a guide, there is no need to worry about getting too deep into the forest and getting lost.Not long after, Chen Baifei came back with a hare in one hand, and Zhao Wu had a little smile on his face.

"General Chen is very skilled."

Chen Baifei walked to the edge of the ground spring, tidied up the rabbits nimbly, and said, "When General Chu was still in the camp of General Chu in the early years, he would do this kind of work whenever he went out of the city to patrol the borders. The sand rabbits in the border areas are comparable to these forest Rabbits are much smarter."

Speaking of the northern frontier, even Zhao Wu, who is addicted to elixir, can't help but look forward to it, "Although this king has been in Youzhou for half a year, he has never passed Yanliu Pass. It is said that the Gobi wind and sand outside the pass is everywhere , the wind and sand are connected to the sky, if you go deep, you can see a mirage, has General Chen ever seen it in the border area all year round?"

Chen Baifei kept his hands in his hands, turned his head to look at Prince Wei with bright eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If the prince wants to see it, I will take the prince to see it in person when I return to Youzhou. I will not be able to tell the scene of the fairyland at the end. The prince will know at a glance."

Zhao Wu lowered his head slightly, the fire reflected in his gloomy eyes, and whispered softly: "If you have a chance, if you have a chance, go and have a look..."

On the third day, Zhao Wu's body had obviously reached its limit. He was in a trance when he heard Chen Baifei who was walking in front suddenly shout: "My lord, I found it!"

Zhao Wu looked up blankly, and the cliff not far ahead was the place where they fell that day.Finally, there was a gleam of light in the long-grey eyes, Zhao Wu trot forward a few steps, almost fell down, but when he stood under the cliff, the light that had just been ignited disappeared instantly, just like stars passing by short.

"General Chen, how can you get up so high?" Zhao Wu turned to look at Chen Baifei who was looking sad.

Chen Baifei looked around for a while, and when he was at a loss for what to do, there were several shouts from the cliff above his head, like rain after a long drought.

"My lord! General!"

Zhao Wu looked intently, it was the Youzhou Army.

This time is considered to have gone through hardships. When Zhao Wu stood on the cliff again, his eyes were extremely firm. "General Chen, take a short rest and count the casualties. We must arrive at Qingshan City tonight."

Chen Baifei didn't say much, cupped his fists and said: "The general will obey the order."

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you will have good luck.

When Zhao Wu led the remaining [-] elite soldiers and rushed to Qingshan City non-stop, the young man in black came from the Northern Jin Dynasty and was leaving the city with dozens of retinues.It's not that enemies don't get together, Zhao Wu is standing outside the city gate on horseback, the young man in black and the strong man Hutar walk out of the city cave side by side, the two stare blankly at each other for a moment.

Hu Tar looked aside for a while, then whispered in the ear of the young man in black: "Young master, do you think the man on the horse looks like the Prince Wei in the portrait?"

The young man in black had no intention of joking at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "This is undoubtedly the person."

"What..." Hutar was startled, almost wanted to shout out loud, and quickly lowered his voice: "Young Master, shall we go forward, or go back to the city and make plans?"

The young man in black was silent, only staring at the young prince on the tall horse.

Chen Baifei took a step forward on his horse, and raised his hand to stop Zhao Wu from raising the whip. The latter stared at the back of the black-clothed figure who turned back to the city, and asked, "Why did the general stop me?"

Chen Baifei glanced at the gate of the city where people were coming and going, and said consolingly: "There are a lot of people here, and if you do something, you will inevitably hurt innocent people. After all, you are the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, so don't be eager. Gongsun Jingya has already entered the city. Once outside the city, it will be difficult to fly without wings."

Zhao Wu put away the whip, turned to look at Chen Baifei, nodded and said: "What the general said is that this king is reckless."

Since ancient times, the imperial family of virtuous and virtuous corporals have won the favor of virtuous officials and good generals.Chen Baifei couldn't help but look at Zhao Wu at this time, and suggested: "The general thinks that the remaining sergeants can be divided into four groups, each with 700 soldiers and horses to guard the four city gates, and then select a group of thirty soldiers to follow the prince. Entering the city, come to catch a turtle in an urn. What do you think the prince wants?"

Zhao Wu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's just according to the general."

That night, Qingshan City.After the curfew, Zhao Wu mobilized hundreds of people from the local state government to search from house to house.Qingliu stood on the top of the city and looked at the several fiery snakes and dragons in the city, expressionless.According to my husband, Gongsun Jingya cannot die, and the two brothers Zhao Wu and Zhao Yi must live.Even if you want to fight to the death, you have to wait until they return to the palace, and then fight to the death.

It seems to be a dead end, but it actually hides a mystery.Although Gongsun Jingya is a concubine of the Gongsun family, he is a rare martial arts genius who is rare in a hundred years. He was already in the top three of the Northern Jin master list when he was only a weak crown. If not, the Gongsun family would not have made dangerous moves.It's just that no matter how fierce a master of the rivers and lakes is, he can't beat thousands of horseshoes.If only Gongsun Jingya is saved, Qingliu still has the strength to spare.

Can……

The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, Qingliu looked sideways, and a cavalry on the official road outside the city was rushing like a giant python.

The person leading the horse is none other than Zhao Yi.

Inside the city, several wandering pythons were gathering towards the west corner of the city, Qingliu no longer hesitated, jumped off the city wall, and disappeared into the endless darkness.

Three hundred miles away, there was the calm Longcheng Imperial Palace.

Shen Yuxin lay in the small garden of Room 36, stretched her arms and legs and yawned, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.Counting the days, there should be news from Huaiyang County in the past two days.Lin Ji in the prison of Dali Temple is also living well. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor visited the Eldest Prince in the Tian Prison the day before yesterday. I don’t know what the father and son who were strangers talked about. His Majesty the Emperor stayed for an hour. back to the palace.

If Gongsun Jingya died in Qingshan City, the Northern Jin Emperor would have given up the idea of ​​assassination for the time being.But in this way, without the backing of the Gongsun family, Zhao Ye is like a defenseless child in front of Helian Wanyan, not to mention the battle for the crown prince, being able to be a prince is due to the virtues of his ancestors.

When Shen Yuxin was thinking wildly, Lu Buying walked over quickly, walked to Shen Yuxin's side, and whispered something in a low voice.After a while, Shen Yuxin almost jumped up from the couch, stared at Lu Buying, and said incredulously, "You said that Prince Wei is dead!? Then... what about Gongsun Jingya?"

"I have come to Longcheng non-stop with Miss Qingliu." Lu Buying looked serious.

Shen Yu felt a little fortunate that Zhao Yi was not the one who died.But Prince Wei was ordered by Zhao Zongqian to kill the assassins, how could he die in Qingshan City for no reason?

"How did he die?" Shen Yu couldn't figure it out.

Lu Buying shook her head slightly, "Miss Qingliu never mentioned it."

Shen Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "No, I have to go to Lao Cai." After walking two steps, she turned her head and asked again: "Did you see everyone today?"

Lu Buying thought for a while and said, "Chun Nao said that he went to Jitian Palace."

Shen Yu let out a sigh of relief, and just about to turn around, she exclaimed loudly: "What did you say!?"

This is Cai Xun's second visit to Yuxian Thatched Cottage in Jitian Palace, the first time was when he first entered the palace.Hongluan was not there, Helian Wanyan poured the tea himself, handed it to Cai Xun respectfully, said with a smile, "I know you don't like tea, but this is the best Biluochun in April this year, it would be a pity if you don't try it."

According to Cai Xun's words, he spat without changing his face, and sighed: "It's good tea."

"That girl Hongluan went to Huaiyang County with the Seventh Highness, you don't even have a caretaker?" Cai Xun glanced sideways at Ping Ping who was standing outside the house.

The corners of Helian Wanyan's lips curled up slightly, "Before entering the palace, there was only Hongluan by my side, and I don't need others to wait on me when I'm used to it."

Cai Xun sneered, "Before you entered the palace, you still threatened that only an extremely stupid woman would be the empress who looks beautiful on the surface, so what now?"

Helian Wanyan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, "I'm just for Xu'er..."

Cai Xun let out a long sigh, "If you really do it for her, then His Majesty's wish will be fulfilled."

Helian Wanyan looked at Cai Xun and smiled meaningfully, "Do you know what His Majesty's real purpose is?"

Cai Xun didn't bother to hide any more, and said contemptuously, "Don't you just want to make Zhao Ye the crown prince?"

"No."

Cai Xun raised his eyebrows, "I also ask the empress to express it clearly."

Helian Wanyan got up and walked to Cai Xun's side, leaning over to whisper, only to see Cai Xun's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.

"This is going against the sky!"
