Chapter 70 Planning
Huo Qiyu escaped from Qiongjiang City at night and stayed at night without stopping. But after all, the road is far away, and it will be more than a month before he arrives. It was already a new year when he arrived. The snow had not melted, but warmth had appeared in the breeze. He was dusty, his hair and beard had grown a lot, and this respectable man wanted to go straight into the city.
At this time, Qiyi and Xue Zhen and his party had been different for a long time. At least there was a handle at the gate. When the defenders saw him, they came up to ask.
Huo Qiyu traveled for two days and one night in a row. At this time, he was hungry and tired. Looking at the smoke of cooking in the city from afar, he seemed to smell the smoke of cooking in the world. He swallowed his saliva and said impatiently, "I'm here to find the ninth prince. Let me in quickly."
He was wearing casual clothes, and the soldiers did not recognize him. Seeing that he was in a good tone, they were afraid that there would be something wrong. Although he did not say a word, they picked up their weapons and looked at him warily.
When Huo Qiyu was hungry, he had a grumpy temper. He ignored them and did not disembow the horse, and he was about to rush into the city.
The city guard panicked. When he was about to stop him, where was the opponent of "Jin Wuwei" Huo? When he entered the city, he only heard a scream, "Who dares to break into the city?"
Huo Qiyu was helpless. I just wanted to have a bite of hot rice quickly!
He still has time to react in the future, and Ji Bochuan's long sword has stabbed the door. Huo Qiyu saw that he took action fiercely and also wanted to fight, but the hunger in his stomach made him uncomfortable. He avoided a sword sideways and waved his hand to Ji Bochuan, "Wait, wait, I'm hungry. I'll fight later." With that, he wanted to make a straight horse.
Seeing his words lightly, Ji Bochuan was even more angry. How could he go first and shouted to catch up with him, "Don't go! Boy is rude!"
This time, Huo Qiyu was unavoidable. Although he was unwilling, it could be seen that Ji Bochuan came fiercely and had to fight back head-on. He said, "You are so unreasonable to fight with a hungry person. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you can't win?"
Jibochuan's soldier has a temperament and is rigorous. Naturally, he will not quarrel with him, but the sword in his hand is getting more and more fierce.
The two of them were fighting, and the already organic soldiers went to the Nine Kings' Mansion and returned to Xue Zhen. As soon as Xue Zhen heard the description, he couldn't help but jump. He quickly took Shuangchi out of the city to see what was going on in person.
Looking from afar, he only met Ji Bochuan, who was facing him, wearing a pale blue robe, while the other man was facing him and wearing a silver-gray casual suit. The two horses were fighting happily.
Although he turned his back, Xue Zhen still saw at a glance that it was Huo Qiyue. I haven't seen him for a long time. His figure is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that he is in Qiongjiang. Although he is shocked step by step, he hasn't worked hard for a day.
"General Ji, wait, this is the leader of 'Jin Wuwei' Huo!" Xue Zhen was excited for fear that they would hurt each other and quickly shouted loudly.
Ji Bochuan was stunned when he heard the words, but he showed a flaw. Huo Qifeng narrowed his eyes and picked up the long sword in his hand, and he was about to pick off his helmet.
Ji Bochuan subconsciously wanted to block it, but he saw Huo Qiyu's strength and his hand hanging in mid-air. Then he put it down as if nothing had happened, jumped off his horse and walked towards Xue Zhen. "Weichen saw the ninth prince."
He just pretended to salute, and Xue Zhen helped him. At this time, Ji Bochuan came to his senses and came up to see Huo Qiyu with a red face. "At the end, he will have eyes that don't know Mount Tai. Please punish Huo."
Huo Qiyu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. This general doesn't have to be polite." He looked at Xue Zhen with a bitter face, "I'm so hungry!" ......
Although Huo Qiyu was an uninvited guest, he was very careful when he came from all over the Nine Palaces. Shen Xuanji came out with a big belly, and the first question was, "Where is my sister now?"
Huo Qiyu was stunned, and the cynical smile on his face faded. "Forgive me for agreeing to Miss Shen Er, I really can't tell anyone where she went." He saw that Shen Xuanji's face suddenly turned white, looking like he was about to cry, and said quickly, "But please rest assured, Miss Shen Er is very safe now, and I would like to use the head of the item as a guarantee!"
Shen Xuanji nodded a little distracted, but when he saw Huo Qiyu's dusty appearance, he also knew that he would never escape from Qiongjiang at night to appease his worries. I don't know how chaotic the capital is now, and it's really not the time for her to complain.
She looked solemn and saluted Huo Qiyu deeply, "It's under the command of Lao Huo. What you said is that I'm relieved."
After saying that, without waiting for Huo Qiyu to return the gift, he hurriedly turned into the kitchen and prepared food and drinks for him, and Qingxun had also brought his subordinates to change Huo Qiyu's clothes.
For a while, the wine and dishes were ready. Except for Xue Zhen and Huo Qiyue, Fang Chen, Yulang and Mr. Yun all sat in order. Huo Qiyu was greedy and ignored the etiquette. He picked up a large bowl of rice before he had the strength to speak and drink.
Shen Xuanji knew that they had something important to discuss, so he arranged for Shuangchi to guard the door with trustworthy servants, and Qingzhen personally led people to serve him. She didn't attend herself, returned to her room, picked up a small belly pocket of red silk, and slowly made it.
Lan Qing saw that she didn't say anything and knew that she was worried about Shen Yuluo, so he came up and said, "Huo has always been safe. Since he said that the second girl is fine, it must be good."
Shen Xuanji nodded. She also believed what Huo Qiyue said in her heart, but she couldn't cross her own hurdles. The more sensible her brothers and sisters were, the more she felt sorry for her deceased parents. She had promised to take good care of them!
Thinking like this, she felt that there were bursts of flowers in front of her. She reached out and rubbed her eyes and said to Lan Qing, "Go and see the fire. Why is it dark?"
Lan Qing looked at the fire doubtfully and then at Shen Xuanji. Suddenly, a light appeared and hurriedly grabbed the needle and thread in her hand.
"The princess is tired during the day, and her eyes can't see clearly now." She helped Shen Xuanji to **, "Don't do it. Take a break and go to bed early!"
After listening to her, Shen Xuanji was also afraid and said with a forced smile, "That's right, don't be blind. I can't see you out of the cabinet."
Lan Qing blushed, "The princess is talking nonsense again, and I will be annoyed if I do this again." Although he said so, Shen Xuanji was placed to sleep, and then he went outside to rest with Mother Hua.
The women in the house did not rest, and the main hall door was tightly closed. Shuangchi took a few people to guard outside, and they did not dare to slack off, and the voices of the people in the room could not be heard outside.
It's already late at night, and the servants are too sleepy to stand up. Only the green scorpion is still forced to add wine in spirit.
"You can also go down. Don't take these plates, bowls and chopsticks. Change the tea." Xue Zhen ordered, "Has the princess slept yet?"
"If you go back to the prince's words, go to bed early." Qingxun took people to pick up the table. Xue Zhen and others had moved to a few steps. She knew that they were going to discuss things, so she bowed her head and retreated.
After removing a few lights and candles, the light in the room dimmed slightly. Huo Qiyu still held a plum-black and silver wine pot and refused to let go. Seeing Xue Zhen looking at him, he took out the jade tube from his chest and handed it to him, "Here, here you are, for it, I have been chased like a bereaved dog all the way. Have you ever been so embarrassed?"
Xue Zhen took it with a smile, opened the jade tube and took out a small piece of bright yellow silk. The words on it were slightly bloody under the light.
Although the smell of blood was not strong, it lingered around his nose. Xue Zhen frowned and endured to read the words above.
The more he read, the more serious his expression became. In addition to solemnity, there were also unwillingness, sarcasm, sadness and depression.
Those people saw that he looked different and did not dare to speak. They all looked at his nose and nose. Only Yulang's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and asked with great interest, "Brother-in-law, what did you say? But would you and your sister to go back to Beijing?"
Xue Zhen raised his head and smiled at him, "Do you really want to go back to Qiongjiang?"
Yulang nodded with his bright eyes, "That's natural. Although Qiyi is used to living there, it's not as good as Qiongjiang."
"What's good about Qiongjiang?" Xue Zhen asked again, and Yulang frowned and thought, "I can't say it. When I think of Qiongjiang, I think of the ancestral family. Although Qiyi also has our residence, it is not home."
Xue Zhen nodded, "What you said is very reasonable, but I can understand it better than I can see it."
He stood up, paced to the window, pushed open the window, and the fresh wind came in at night, blowing everyone.
"It's also time to go home." After a long time, he said slowly...
The next morning, before the sky was light, the gate of the Nine Kings' Mansion opened with a "squeak" sound, and Xue Zhen, dressed in a silver fox cloak, personally sent Fang Chen out of the city. The two of them spoke quietly and couldn't hear anything more. Xue Zhen's face was calm, but Fang Chen looked a little excited.
The two talked all the way to the outside of the city gate. The soldiers of the "Wei Army" brought by Fang Chen had already been tied up and waited in line outside the city.
Xue Zhen arched his hand to Fang Chen, "General Fang, thank you for your hard work. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."
Fang Chen also arched his hand. When he wanted him to take good care of Shen Xuanji, he felt that he was really too worried. Xue Zhen would naturally take good care of his wife. Why did he have to come to his mother-in-law?
He smiled mockingly, turned over his horse, and said to Xue Zhen, "This matter is all wrapped on the last general. Don't worry, please come back!"
Xue Zhen nodded and watched Fang Chen and his party suddenly go away. The horse's hoofs flew and a lot of dust blurred the horizon in front of him.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind?" Huo Qiyu didn't know when he came behind him and still asked carelessly.
Xue Zhen shook his head, "Now, it's the first step. You and I don't know what the future will be like."
Huo Qiyu was also awed when he heard what he said, but for a moment, he still smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "God has eyes. If such a smart and good man can't do anything, it's really unreasonable!"
