The wife of the female Zun Kuaichuan is a doting maniac

Especially now that Si Qianling had even told her the secrets related to their brother and sister's wealth and lives, such trust made her feel that her efforts during this period were not in vain.

"You have never been sorry to me. If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago. Well, don't cry. Xiaochen saw it and thought I bullied you!"

Su Qiruo said, taking out a handkerchief from her arms and bringing it to Si Qianling's cheek, ready to wipe away the tears hanging on his face.

Si Qianling seemed to have just realized how close he was to Su Qiruo, and he quickly took the handkerchief from her hand and withdrew from her arms.

The sudden empty embrace made Su Qiruo's heart feel empty. She took back the hand she had just placed on Si Qianling's back and gently rubbed it twice. Su Qiruo returned her gaze to the paintings drawn by Si Qianling. circle.

"There are six cabinet ministers and a family of dukes. There are so many old people who are royalists. Your mother is not that incompetent."

Judging from the current situation in Western Qin, the fact that those old guys can persist until now is enough to show that the former Emperor of Western Qin still has some weight in the hearts of the courtiers.

Si Qianling smiled bitterly, pointed at those names and said: "These are all veterans of the two dynasties, and they are not due to her."

Even if they were loyal to the royal family, they were still loyal to his royal grandmother.

If Xiaochen successfully ascends the throne, those people will be the most authoritative elders of the three dynasties, and even the emperor will give him five points of face.

It is not difficult to hear Si Qianling's dissatisfaction with the late emperor's governance from his tone. Su Qiruo herself had met the former emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty, and he was indeed a bit useless as a king.

It is a good thing for a king to value affection, but he should not only indulge in the personal affairs of his children.

There is no conflict between romance and governing the country.

"No matter what, as long as they are here, Western Qin will not be in chaos for the time being."

Maybe it's just that the people outside are not in chaos yet, but the internal struggle has already been in full swing.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long. Xiaochen... is still too young."

Si Qianling's hands on his knees were clenched into fists. He really wished that Si Qianchen would grow up quickly.

Their family's power should not be taken advantage of by others, and besides, there was also the revenge of killing his mother and father, so he couldn't not avenge it.

Su Qiruo looked at his slightly trembling fist and covered it with her own hand.

"Wait a moment. Once things are done here, I will accompany you to Western Qin."

If she can support Si Qianchen to rise to power, it will be a hundred benefits and no harm to Dongjing Kingdom.

If Dongjing and Xiqin have good relations, they will no longer have to worry about other countries coming to the border to harass them in the future.

Si Qianling looked at Su Qiruo with red eyes, wanting to say thank you, but felt that those two words were too pale.

But besides thanking him, he had nothing to give her.

Someone helped teach Si Qianchen martial arts, and Su Qiruo had a lot of time.

Si Qianling had long wanted to plant some of his favorite vegetables in the open space behind the yard. Su Qiruo did not need the help of secret guards, so she took a hoe and Si Qianling to cultivate the land in person on a rare cloudy day.

“This is my first time farming!”

Ever since he spoke to Su Qiruo, Si Qianling talked a lot more in front of her, and his expressions were much more lively than before.

"Me too."

Su Qiruo smiled and looked at the neat rows of furrows, feeling that she and Si Qianling were quite talented.

"Last year, when I took Xiaochen all the way to avoid being hunted, I thought I was going to die. I never thought I would be here today."

Thinking of the pain I experienced at that time, and looking at the calluses on my palms when I held the hoe, I felt that it didn't hurt at all.

"Do you still have many people left over there?" Su Qiruo thought that if Si Qianling needed it, she could order someone to find for him the subordinates left by the Western Qin Emperor for their brother and sister.

But there must be some kind of token, otherwise those people would never believe them rashly.

Si Qianling shook his head: "I don't know how many people are left. There are two thousand secret guards and fifty thousand elite soldiers left by my grandfather's family. Most of them were lost when they escorted Xiaochen and I to escape from Western Qin."

Thinking of those who died to save them, the hatred in Si Qianling's heart became even stronger.

Si Qingming, he will definitely make her pay with blood.

Suddenly remembering the marks left by those people in the county town, Si Qianling talked to Su Qiruo in detail.

He really trusted her, even to the point of handing her over.

The only thing he didn't mention was their contact information. This was his last insistence as a native of Western Qin.

Even though Su Qiruo did everything for him, she was from Dongjing country after all.

He didn't dare to violate the rules left by his ancestors, and presumably she could understand her.

"Now that we have found the county seat, I think it won't take long to find you here. But you have to be careful and don't trust them completely. You have to do a careful inspection by your own people."

Su Qiruo's reminder made Si Qianling so enlightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Yes!

What if some of them have been bribed!

Then didn't he and Xiaochen give their heads to others in vain?

Fortunately, Su Qiruo was cautious and reminded her like this.

"I……"

Si Qianling was so flustered that he couldn't even speak. When he thought about how easily he left a mark, if the traitor found him...

The only person he can trust now is Su Qiruo. After what happened to Su Qiruo, all the confidants around the dignified Nine War Kings will betray her. What about those people left by the Mother Emperor?

The relationship between those people and him was not as deep as that between Su Qiruo and Na Aze. If someone wanted to bribe them, it would be very easy.

Si Qianling was so frightened that he could not think anymore when he thought that he might have exposed his hiding place.

Su Qiruo noticed something strange about him and hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down on the stone bench next to the back wall.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you. Besides, they may not know the existence of those people. Maybe I am worrying too much!"

Su Qiruo was also bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. She didn't dare to trust anyone anymore. She just mentioned this. She didn't expect to scare Si Qianling like this.

"No, your guess is very likely to be true. That woman is smart and ruthless, and she will not let go of such an opportunity."

"Then I'll ask Yingyi to send people to the entrance of the village to keep an eye on him. If a stranger comes in, we'll hide in the mountains first. You can decide whether to recognize him or not after the identity is confirmed."

"Ah."

After drinking some water, Si Qianling calmed down a little.

It would be fine for him to die, but he must not harm Xiaochen.

Xiaochen is the future of Xi Qin, and we can’t do it without her.

Si Qianling's fear was not just because of Su Qiruo's words just now, but because he finally discovered his own weakness. It seemed difficult to achieve revenge if he only relied on his own ability.

After all, he is only a fourteen-year-old boy. I am afraid that he has never cried properly since he escaped from Western Qin.
