No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 595 Doubt!
Luo Junyao was also very surprised when she followed Bai Jingrong and others to evacuate from the secret passage at the back of the main hall. She did not expect that there was a secret passage hidden behind the main hall.

However, this place is guarded all the year round, it is an important place in the palace, it is not easy to come in and investigate.

Who would have thought that King Qi would not build secret passages in his usual bedroom, but in such a place that is rarely used a few times a year?

Luo Junyao silently followed the crowd, keeping himself in a state where he would neither be noticed nor left behind.

Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong walked in the front, followed by several unknown masters and Qu Fang.

Ji Zhan was also accompanied by several guards and Ji Rong, and behind them were the Qi nobles who were trapped in the hall.

A group of people walked forward quickly, no one spoke aloud, and the atmosphere in the tunnel was very silent and depressing.

I don't know how long they walked in the tunnel, but Luo Junyao could only tell that they were heading northeast of the royal city.

After thinking about it for a while, I got a little bit of a bottom line in my heart.

The most elite soldiers of the Qi people are stationed at the northeast corner of the royal city. If this tunnel leads directly to the barracks, it will indeed ensure the safety of everyone.

It's just... Did Ji Zhan lose the entire palace so easily?
Isn't the current situation in the entire Qi nationality royal city changed to Xie Yan and King Chaqin leading troops to occupy the palace, but Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong, who are the masters of the palace, are outside?
Before Luo Jun could figure out the situation in front of him, the exit of the secret path had already arrived.

At this time, the night was dark, but the outside of the secret passage was as bright as day.

Luo Junyao followed the crowd out of the secret passage, and saw the dignified and chilling situation in front of him.

The entire barracks was brightly lit, and the surrounding lookout corners were also covered with soldiers holding longbows on guard.

Countless soldiers of the Qi nationality around were fully armed and were busy running back and forth. Even if such a large group of them suddenly appeared, they did not attract too much attention.

A tall and burly general greeted the group respectfully, and Bai Jingrong, Ji Zhan and several important nobles of the Qi nationality were invited into the tent.

Luo Junyao was just a little maid, so naturally he couldn't follow in, so he had to stay outside.

Now that the situation is sensitive, as a person who "has half the blood of the Central Plains", she is naturally not welcome in the army, which is full of elite Qi people.Aware of the sights from around him, Luo Jun quietly retreated to a place where he would not attract attention.

"Don't be afraid." Bai Ning's voice came from the side.

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at her, Bai Ning's face was also full of embarrassment and fatigue all night.

"Sister Bai Ning." Luo Junyao whispered, "Are you afraid?"

The smile on Bai Ning's face was a bit bitter, and he said softly, "What's the use of being afraid? With the empress here, nothing will happen."

These people actually depend on Bai Jingrong for their lives. If Bai Jingrong is gone, their life in the Qi tribe will never be easy.

It is precisely because of this that so many people can't wait to find a more stable backer for themselves.The fight between Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan's mother and son is of course due to their own reasons, but the instigation of these people is probably indispensable.

Luo Jun shook his head, looked left and right and whispered: "Sister Bai Ning, what is this place, those people... don't seem to like us."

Bai Ning patted her arm lightly, but said nothing.

In the big tent on the other side, there were seven or eight people sitting.

Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan sat in the main seats in front, and below them were the generals who greeted them and several noble generals of the Qi nationality.

Qu Fang stood not far from Bai Jingrong, staring at these people in front of him calmly.

At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little dignified.

"Your Majesty, General Ji Xu has ordered soldiers and horses from all over the royal city to enter the palace to serve the king, and now those traitors have been trapped in the palace." Speaking of this, the general couldn't help but glance at Bai Jingrong.

After all, we all know that those rebels who suddenly rebelled tonight are the Queen Mother's people.

It is actually a very strange thing that these Central Plains people suddenly rebelled.

Without reinforcements, without food and grass, these people will undoubtedly die after a long time. They didn't rebel when the Qi tribe retreated westward, why did they wait until now to rebel?
Bai Jingrong's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to feel the suspicion in the other party's eyes at all.

"What happened to the sound of the trumpet outside earlier?" Bai Jingrong asked.

Bai Jingrong was still the queen mother after all, even if someone was dissatisfied, she dared not answer.

"The Empress Dowager, just received the news that a troop is approaching the royal city. The first troop has already joined the defenders who are more than ten miles away from the royal city. The sound of the trumpet just now is the defenders stationed outside. The call for help was sent back." The general bowed and said, "I ask the king to make a decision early and send troops to help."

Ji Zhan's face was a bit ugly, and he said coldly: "There are thousands of miles of yellow sand near the king's city. How can there be a large army approaching here? We still don't know? Which side is it?"

Ji Zhan didn't think about the Dasheng Dynasty in the Central Plains. The Qi people and Dasheng had fought against each other for many years, so they naturally knew each other very well.

The Dasheng Army is really good at fighting, but they also have inherent shortcomings.

It is difficult for the Central Plains people and horses to adapt to the climate and environment of the desert. In the early years, the place where the two armies clashed was not far from the border of Dasheng, and it was still acceptable.

But today's King City of the Qi nationality goes deep into the desert, and the yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see.

It is impossible for Dasheng soldiers and horses to cross the desert and chase them all the way to Wangcheng.

The general hesitated for a moment, before he said: "From the news from the front, it seems that most of those soldiers and horses are from the Western Regions."

"People from the Western Regions?" There was an uproar in the big tent, the Western Regions are full of small countries, how dare they send troops to the Qi people?
We must know that after Rouran, which was considered a big country in the Western Regions, was destroyed overnight, the small countries in the Western Regions became honest.

Every year, they paid tribute in peace and did not dare to neglect in the slightest. Now these people dare to secretly send troops to the Qi people.This is because the Qi clan lost to Dasheng, thinking that they are weak and want to rebel?

Hearing this news, everyone was filled with anger.

Several generals stood up together, expressing their willingness to lead troops to wipe out those Western Regions people who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

This is also very understandable. Even though the Qi clan's momentum has been greatly reduced, they can't bear the disrespect from people who were once regarded as ants.

Ji Zhan thought for a moment, and ordered three generals to lead the army to support.

And the most important thing for them now is how to suppress the rebellion in the royal city.

Ji Zhan wasn't too worried that tens of thousands of Bai family troops would not be able to make a difference.

What really bothered him was that when the big tribes around him came to pay tribute, such a thing happened, and the majesty of the Qi tribe and him, the king of Qi, disappeared.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhan also thought of another thing, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately arrest the envoys from all countries in the Western Regions, and don't let any one escape without my king's permission."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It was already light when Luo Junyao followed Bai Ning into the tent where Bai Jingrong was resting, and Bai Jingrong was still sitting in the tent with his head down thinking about something, and she didn't look up at them when they came in.

Luo Jun looked at Bai Jingrong unobtrusively, and saw a bit of fatigue between her brows and a faint blue shadow under her eyelids, obviously she hadn't slept all night.

"Your Majesty." Luo Junyao knelt beside Bai Jingrong and called softly.

Only now did Bai Jingrong look up at her, and said calmly, "You're here too? Nothing happened, right?"

"No." Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I was with Sister Bai Ning last night. Your Majesty looks a bit tired. Why don't you rest for a while?"

Bai Jingrong sighed lightly and said, "How can I sleep when such a big incident happened?"

Luo Jun Yao pretended to be at a loss, and said, "This...it's not your mother's fault, servant girl..." She seemed to have no idea how to comfort the person in front of her, and she lowered her head in frustration.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. Chuchu, you're in Wu Ye's mansion, did you find anything wrong with him?" Bai Jingrong asked.

Luo Junyao said sadly: "No, no, General Wu Ye doesn't let slaves go out, slaves..."

Bai Jingrong naturally knew what was going on with her in Wu Ye Mansion, so she was just asking casually at this moment.

The fact that Wu Ye and Wu Jun killed Subuka at the same time was too weird, Bai Jingrong naturally thought that Wu Ye might have betrayed him.But Wu Ye was already dead, so he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingrong once again remembered what he had suspected from last night until now.

play...

Qu Fang killed Wu Ye, but let Wu Jun go.

Bai Jingrong didn't believe that he didn't do it on purpose.

"Did you see Ah Fang when you came in? What is he doing?" Bai Jingrong asked.

Luo Junyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "That Mr. Qu is standing outside the tent of the lady. I don't know what he is doing, but he just stands there and looks up at the sky, as if he didn't do anything."

"Is there anything you can tell Mr. Qu? Is your servant going to invite him in?" Luo Junyao asked.

Bai Jingrong shook his head and said: "Forget it, you can tell him later, let him go to rest. The army is safe and sound, and I also have expert protection by my side, so there is no need for him to keep guarding."

Luo Junyao answered obediently.

On the other side, Bai Ning had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Bai Ning was very meticulous in his work. After setting it up, he even tried the same poison himself before inviting Bai Jingrong to have a meal.

Luo Junyao helped Bai Jingrong get up and walked over. After Bai Jingrong sat down, she waved her hand and said, "You go too. After breakfast, someone will find you a place to rest for a while. Bai Ning is enough here."

"Yes, ma'am." Luo Junyao knew that Bai Jingrong had something to tell Bai Ning, and he didn't want him to listen.She didn't hesitate, and simply leaned over and left.

After leaving the tent, Qu Fang was still standing not far away.

Luo Junyao strolled over, "Mr. Qu."

Qu Fang looked down at the girl who was much shorter than him in front of him and didn't speak.

Luo Junyao still had a simple smile on her face, but what she said had nothing to do with the expression on her face at this moment.

"She's suspicious of you, be careful." Luo Junyao said in a low voice.

Qu Fang's eyes moved slightly, only to hear Luo Junyao continue: "Wu Ye and Wu Jun."

If Qu Fang had killed Wu Ye and Wu Jun together, Bai Jingrong might not have thought about it.But he only killed Wu Ye but let Wu Jun go, no wonder Bai Jingrong thought too much.

"Got it." Qu Fang said.

Luo Jun shook his head, "Be careful."

Bai Jingrongjue is not a nostalgic person, once he finds out that Qu Fang betrayed her, he will never show mercy.Although Qu Fang is so powerful that it is difficult to meet an opponent, but when facing Bai Jingrong, Luo Junyao always feels that his chances of winning are not great.

After leaving these two words, Luo Junyao turned around and left without leaving any more.

Qu Fang watched her go away, and after a while, he slowly returned his gaze to Bai Jingrong's tent again, the expression in his eyes was complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Luo Junyao failed to find a place to rest as she wished, although she was indeed a little tired.

Looking at Ji Rong who appeared in front of him, Luo Junyao secretly sighed in his heart.Seeing Ji Rong's leisurely appearance, no one would believe that he didn't wait here on purpose.

"Prince Ji Rong." Luo Jun said respectfully.

Ji Rong looked at her and said, "Miss Chuchu."

The two stood by the side of the road, and neither of them spoke for a while.

After a while, even the passers-by couldn't help turning their heads to look at them again and again, before Luo Junyao said, "Prince Ji Rong, what orders do you have?"

"No." Ji Rong said lightly, "I'm just a little worried seeing Miss Chuchu walking in the barracks alone."

"Worry?"

Ji Rong smiled lightly and said: "Miss Chuchu is a smart person, haven't you noticed the atmosphere in the army now? People from the Central Plains rebelled, and Miss Chuchu has half of the blood of the Central Plains, right?"

Luo Junyao said vigilantly: "So what? Aren't you and the king also the same?"

Ji Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you think this is the same?"

Of course they are different, one of them is king Qi and the other is prince, both of them are of the blood of Qi clan royal family.And now she's just an ordinary little girl who doesn't stand out.

"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly," Luo Jun said.

Ji Rong said: "This is not a place to talk, why don't we talk in another place?"

Luo Junyao looked around, but still followed Ji Rong.

Ji Rong was obviously no stranger to this barracks, and took Luo Jun to shake the familiar way and walked to a secluded place behind the barracks in a short while.Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid the empress dowager is in a bad mood at the moment. If you come to see me at this time, aren't you afraid that she will be unhappy?"

Bai Jingrong was at a sensitive time, and anyone who deliberately approached her would arouse her vigilance.

Ji Rong smiled lightly and said, "So what if you're not happy? Chuchu, do you think after this incident, can she compete with Ji Zhan again?"

Maybe it really can't.

The betrayal of the Bai family army this time had an incalculable impact on Bai Jingrong.

The people of the Qi people were always on guard against the people of the Central Plains, no matter what happened in the future, if Bai Jingrong wanted to gain power, the people of the Qi people would try their best to stop it.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that the Qi people will have no power to hold in the future.

"I'm not interested in these things." Luo Jun shook his head, "Prince Ji Rong, why don't you just tell me, what do you want from me?"

Ji Rong smiled and said, "You want to leave the royal court of the Qi clan and go to the Central Plains?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

Ji Rong didn't answer, but said: "I can help you, as long as you do one thing for me."
