Gusu snow

The capital of Qi State, Gusu, Zishi.

It was late at night, and the curfew in Gusu had passed. There was no one coming and going on the streets, and the whole city fell into a peaceful sleep.

Two black shadows flashed past, so fast that people couldn't tell the truth from the fake ones. Judging from the direction the two shadows were going, it seemed that it was the residence of Privy Councilor Zeng who was ill in bed due to a sudden cold recently.

Sure enough, two shadows stopped in front of the Zeng Mansion without a sound, and one of the black shadows with a sword quickly crossed the wall and disappeared into the Zeng Mansion.

And another shadow hides in the darkness, it seems to be watching the wind, and does not participate in the things inside.

After waiting for less than half a cup of tea, the shadow that had gone in quietly came out again, and the shadow hidden in the darkness immediately greeted it.

The two of them tacitly agreed without saying a word, raised their breath and left the Zeng Mansion lightly without making any sound.

The gate of the Zeng Mansion was silent, as if just... no one had been there.

The two shadows didn't stop until a simple mansion, on which was written two big characters - Yun Mansion.

"My lord..." Zhu Jiang took out a white handkerchief from his bosom, and passed it to Yun Shen as he walked into the Yunfu, "Wipe it..."

Yun Shen hummed and took it.He was dressed in black casual clothes, and was wearing an ice-blue moon-washing sword. After running for a while, the ends of his hair didn't look messy, and he was still upright.

He drew out the Moon Shujian, and wiped the handkerchief in his hand along the blade, and immediately there was a blood-red trace on the handkerchief.

Zhu Jiang watched from the side, and could only sigh in his heart, and said, "My lord, you still have some."

Hearing this, Yun Shen spread out his palm, and sure enough, he saw a thin bloodstain on his palm.But no matter how imperceptible it was, it was still blood after all.

Zhu Jiang was in a bad mood and remained silent for a while.But Yun Shen said, "What time is it?"

Zhu Jiang said: "It's a moment."

After a pause, he continued: "Today is already October, my lord."

It has been three months since the young master left.

"How about Qianqiu?" Yun Shen handed Shuyue Sword to Zhu Jiang as he went to the study.

Zhu Jiang bowed his head, held Shuyue Sword in his hand, and told all about the situation of Chu State that he had inquired about today: "Well, Prince Jing said that there seems to be a prince regent in Chu State, and the princess no longer supervises the country. The name of Changxian has long been spread in the Chu country. Originally, the people of Chu did not recognize Chu Changxian very much, but recently the natural disasters that occurred in several places in the Chu country were handled very well, and the people gradually stopped complaining. Instead, I began to look forward to Chu Changxian's ascension."

Speaking of enthronement, Yun Shen frowned slightly.

Zhu Jiang noticed something strange about Yun Shen: "Master?"

"It's nothing." Yun Shen said, "Princess Rongmeng intends to hand over the power in her hand. Qianqiu is weak in Chu, so naturally she has to take over the power."

"But..." Zhu Jiang hesitated, "But son, do you really believe that the young master will definitely come back? Didn't you say before that the higher a person's position is, the greater his ambition will be?"

Yun Shen said firmly without hesitation: "I believe..."

After a pause, Yun Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Jiang: "What ambition do you think he has?"

Zhu Jiang inexplicably thumped in his heart, and said embarrassingly: "The young master may soon become the emperor of Chu, embrace the country of Chu, enjoy the glory and wealth, I am afraid that few people can resist such a temptation?" In the end, his The voice also weakened, with deep uncertainty.

Yun Shen pushed the door open and said concisely, "He is one of those very few people."

"Crack", the door was closed.

The rumors spread to Qi State are indeed good, Qianqiu was indeed forced to take the regent, Chu Xueyi originally wanted him to take the throne immediately after three days as regent, but in the end, she was worried that the progress was too fast and people's hearts could not be moved, so she let it go He gave Qianqiu his life, and said that he would choose a good day to ascend the throne.

What is said is re-choice, but it is an extremely dangerous message to Qianqiu.

It's hard to guarantee that one day he won't be told to prepare for his enthronement tomorrow, and the chance of him escaping will be even smaller by then, which is fine!

Thinking of this, Qian Qiu stabbed down hard with the hand holding the pen, then gasped and screamed and separated the pen from the memorial again and again, but he still saw the memorial that was presented by someone who didn't know who was it. A huge scarlet mark came out.

Qianqiu has a complicated expression, remembering that this morning he was forced to get up at Maoshi to go to court, and when he was drowsy, he heard someone say Yun Shen's name.

He woke up immediately, and only then did he realize that he was thinking too much and actually wrote Yun Shen's name on the memorial, blowing out the nostrils of that upright minister.

What can Qianqiu do? He is also very desperate!

Now his acting skills are getting better and better, obviously he has been thinking like crazy and can't sleep all night, and the next day he can still pretend to have resigned to his fate to go to court to approve the memorial, and follow Chu Shenzhi to travel to Luoyang.

Sometimes he would get up with Chu Congzhi when he was traveling in Luoyang, and Qianqiu would get dizzy seeing these two identical people, and couldn't tell the difference at all.

Fortunately, Chu Congzhi still likes to hold hands when he speaks, and his movements are natural and smooth; Chu Shenzhi's learning is a little stiff.

Qianqiu said: "Chu Congzhi, if I leave, will the Chu Kingdom still be supervised by a princess?"

Chu Congzhi folded his hands and raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness is reluctant?"

"It's not..." Qian Qiu sighed, "I also have a younger sister in Qi State, so I don't want to feel sorry for her."

Chu Congzhi remained silent.

"How about this, I see that your recent exams seem to be much better than mine, and you have more experience in dealing with those disasters than me..."

"Your Highness..." Chu Congzhi spoke and interrupted him in time, "You must not talk nonsense about this matter."

Qian Qiu smiled, his eyes unexpectedly flashed with a firm light: "I didn't talk nonsense, and there is no one else here now. I can see that you are a person who can be an important person, and you are also the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. Besides, I don't believe that you don't have any ambition."

At the end of the busy season, under his several edicts, the state of Chu has been stabilized, and Qianqiu has heard a little bit of his gradual recognition and approval.

Even when he went out with Chu Shenzhi, someone would come up to greet him timidly and call him His Highness.

But having said that, it is estimated that he was born in Chu country when he was a child. Qianqiu only walked Luoyang twice under the leadership of Chu Shenzhi and memorized the route here, and he was even able to follow every street with a map;

What surprised him even more was Fuliang. This girl was really clever. When she learned that Qianqiu wanted to leave Chu and return to Qi, she didn't ask why. Went to Prince Han's mansion, and found out several routes back to Qi.

And the map in the library hall was brought back by Fuliang, and Qianqiu, under the guidance of Fuliang and Chu Shenzhi, memorized it by rote while overcoming the road idiot.

After several days in a row, he actually remembered the roads of several counties outside of Luoyang clearly, so the difficulty of escaping dropped sharply.

Even so, Qianqiu still felt that he was holding back something.

He seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to escape.

I just didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon——

Chu Congzhi was going out to Chenzhou outside Luoyang to deal with matters, so he could just take him with him.

-

Qian Qiu didn't take anything with his empty hands, and Shuo Mo followed beside him.Chu Congzhi led the horse: "Your Highness..."

He glanced at Qianqiu, Qianqiu also glanced at him, and took the reins.There is no need to say more about the meaning in the eyes.

The three rode their horses to the outside of Luoyang City, and the first to enter was Yingzhou.Yingzhou is not big, and because of Qianqiu's road idiot, Chu Congzhi led Qianqiu and Shuomo all the way outside Yingzhou City, Qianqiu rode his horse and followed Chu Cong, and suddenly found that Chu Congzhi was leading him. The road is very familiar.

It is exactly the way that Chu Shenzhi and Fuliang Qian urged Wan to keep in mind!

Looking at the scenery next to him, the map memorized by rote in Qianqiu's mind gradually became brighter, as if there was some streamer lighting up along the path of the map in his mind, illuminating the entire Yingzhou brightly.

Not only that, Chenzhou, Chongzhou, Guangxian... the map all the way to the border of Qi State is also very clear!

Qianqiu's eyes sparkled, he was overjoyed but he didn't dare to show it too much, so he had to suppress the joy in his heart and pretend to be calm.

As long as you enter Chenzhou, knock Shuo Mo unconscious and throw it to Chu Congzhi, he will be able to leave!

Chenzhou territory.This is a city as famous as Jiangxia in the Qi State. There are mostly merchants in the territory, with frequent trade activities. Various transit stations can be seen everywhere. Chu Congzhi came here to rectify the merchants who have monopolized most of the commerce here.

Qianqiu didn't want to see it, so he rode his horse and stopped outside a small restaurant: "It's already evening now, since we've arrived in Chenzhou, there's no need to hurry so much, right?"

Chu Congzhi vetoed indifferently: "No, Your Highness, it's urgent."

Qian Qiu puffed up her cheeks and glanced at Shuo Mo, who immediately stood up: "Prince Han, Your Highness is tired, so it's okay to take a rest."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chu Congzhi, he turned around and walked inside.Qian Qiu cheerfully followed, Chu Congzhi could only helplessly shake his head and follow.

Shuo Mo went all the way, Xiao Er warmly greeted him, Shuo Mo was about to speak suddenly a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes went dark, and before he passed out, someone said in his ear: "Suo Mo, I'm sorry."

After beating the man unconscious, the cheerful expression on Qianqiu's face immediately turned serious and dignified, the movements of his hands quickened, and he took out the money bag from Shuo Mo's body, Chu Congzhi neither stopped nor helped: "It's decided? "

Qian Qiu was so anxious that he didn't even have time to speak, so he threw the person to Chu Congzhi: "It's decided..."

He got on his horse, raised his whip high, and whipped it down: "Drive!"

The sun was setting, and it would soon be night, making it even more difficult to discern the way.Qianqiu settled down and didn't stop for a moment.

The wind fluttered, flipping his robe.

The corners of Qian Qiu's eyes slanted slightly, and the speed of riding the horse increased.In fact, he felt that several people had been following him for quite some time.You don't even need to look to know that he was taken back.

But at this time, there seemed to be a piercing sound coming from behind, before Qianqiu had time to react, the horse under him suddenly knelt down!

Qian Qiu immediately flew up from the horse, and ran forward desperately!He didn't even look at the road, he just said to get rid of these people first!

However, he couldn't get rid of the five people behind him by himself, so Qian Qiu had to stop when he turned three bends and was surrounded.

One of them said: "Your Highness, come back with us."

Qianqiu opened his eyes, his gaze was chilling: "No!"

The man said: "The princess said, if you insist on not going back, the subordinates can only do it."

"Do you think I have nothing on me?"

The dagger in the sleeve was pulled out suddenly, Qianqiu's movement flashed, and the five people who surrounded him also quickly surrounded him!

Xu Shi had a very strong desire to escape, Qianqiu's body teleportation was extremely fast, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of being disadvantaged among the five people.These few people didn't seem to dare to really hurt Qianqiu, they just kept saying: "Your Highness!"

The dagger was stained with blood, Qianqiu broke through the encirclement with one against five!

He won't love to fight, and he will quickly go to the broken place!Seeing that Qianqiu was about to run away, the man gritted his teeth, quickly chased after him with the long sword in his hand, and slashed Qianqiu's skin!

Qianqiu suffers from pain, but still moves on.

Seeing that someone started, the other four couldn't care less, and stepped forward one after another to continue entanglement with Qianqiu.

This time, they were really hurt.Not long after, Qianqiu's body was covered with bloodstains pierced by the sword blade, only the surface was injured, not the inside.

The shouts of the people came from not far away, as if they had already discovered the situation here.

The man gritted his teeth, stopped his figure, and stabbed Qianqiu's back with the long sword in his hand.

Qianqiu was exhausted and finally collapsed.

When he woke up again, he had already returned to the Sizheng Hall, and Shuo Mo and Fu Liang were guarding by the bedside.

Seeing him open his eyes, Fu Liang happily went up to help him up, Qian Qiu was supported by her, struggling to go out without saying a word.

Shuo Mo sighed, and was about to speak when he heard Chu Xueyi come out from the screen: "Brother Emperor, rest at ease, you have been placed under house arrest."
