Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

In the past few days, their convoy, escorted by the remaining Qingyi cavalry, was slowly driving towards the royal court.

The hot weather in July has already shown its majesty. Any creature that wants to travel at noon will inevitably be ravaged by the strong sun.

In the shade of a hill, their cavalry stopped.They planned to wait until the sun set a little before continuing on their way.

There were about 30 people in their party, spread out in this small area without direct sunlight.

Jiang Sile also got off the carriage. When he passed by the 'Ming Yue', he touched its back and found it was hot.

Jiang Sile patted Mingyue's head comfortingly, took his thin cloak from the carriage and put it on it, at least it could protect it from the sun.

That small piece of shady land is only enough for people to squeeze together to enjoy the shade.As for those livestock and horses, they still have to bask in the scorching sun.

In other words, according to their size, a few horses cannot be squeezed in.

The Qingyi native Jiang Sile who was in charge of the guard this time was not familiar with him. It is said that he was originally the captain of the guard stationed at Wolf's Throat.

These gossips were learned by Jiang Sile from the chats of the Taoist priests.

He was a restless person, and even on the road, the little Taoist relied on his stuttering Qingyi dialect to get along with the guards.

Jiang Sile habitually looked to his side, but Lu Zhi was not there.

she left……

When they arrived in Dazhou, Luzhi told Jiang Sile that she didn't want to leave Daxia again.

Her eyes were firm with sadness and a hint of guilt.

At that time, Jiang Sile didn't speak for a while.

She once thought that other people would leave her eventually.She thought she was ready.

Pushed Li Yancheng away with his own hands, and ignored Ah Yishi's departure.

Even when facing the little Taoist priest, Jiang Sile had thought about the best arrangement for him, perhaps like Li Yancheng, entering the court as an official.

Perhaps because of that little selfishness, and the increasing loneliness and anxiety, she finally didn't say it.

As for the green branches...

She thought Lu Zhi would follow her forever, just like Jiang Sile once pinched Lu Zhi's neck in Bailu Palace and questioned her betrayal... She thought she had an ally she could absolutely trust.

Green Branch is always by her side.Whether it's in the Chongguang Palace, in Jiangzhou, Chengzhou, or in a foreign country thousands of miles away, Luzhi will always be by her side.

Along the way, this past year, as long as he smelled the fragrance of tea, Jiang Sile would feel a cup of tea in his stomach, and his whole body would change from tired to more energetic.

Jiang Sile did not keep the green branches.

No matter how reluctant she was, no matter how painful and lost she was, she never kept her.

Jiang Sile discovered that she was actually the best actor herself.

She pretended she didn't care, and she really didn't care.

Just before Lu Zhi left, Jiang Sile presented her with gold and silver as travel expenses, pretending that even Lu Zhi believed it.

She looked back at Jiang Sile reluctantly, and left step by step.

Until her figure disappeared on the streets of Chengzhou, Jiang Sile stared blankly in the direction of her departure, not recovering for a long time.

After so long, 'Mingyue' impatiently rubbed her head against Jiang Sile's arm, breathing uncomfortably.

Under its reminder, Jiang Sile woke up.Then hurriedly left the street that brought her sorrow.

Regarding Lu Zhi's sudden departure, the little Taoist was very indifferent.Except on weekdays, no one took the initiative to make tea for them.It's as if nothing has changed, everything is exactly as it always has been.

His mouth was also chattering non-stop.

Once, the little Taoist priest suddenly said to Jiang Sile: "She has already arrived in Jiangzhou. She is from Jiangzhou, so it is a good place to live..."

Jiang Sile still had that indifferent look, as if everything in the world couldn't get into her heart.

Speaking of this, the little Taoist stopped, and suddenly fell silent.

After that, there was a long silence.

Since then, the little Taoist has never mentioned the green branch again, as if everything in the past is in the past.

After waiting for two hours, people climbed on horseback or boarded carriages under urging.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the wheels on the sand, they continued to move towards the capital.

A cloud that seemed to be sacrificing itself blocked the sun.

On the ground, the horse galloped faster with that short lingering shadow.

Jiang Sile slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep amidst the turbulence of the carriage and the drowsy and hot air around him.

……

The royal court on the other side
After sending Ayi away, Wu Xian still has to prepare for the upcoming Jiang Sile, which is quite a trouble for him.

Is it a troublesome thing to deal with a woman, especially when it is a woman who is not easy to mess with?

It would be a good idea to put them aside.But Wu Xian was deeply worried about her.That worry made him give her a warning regardless of exposing his own weakness.

Wu Xian lowered his eyes, hiding all the calculations in his heart.

Several days later, Jiang Sile's carriage slowly entered the royal court surrounded by guards.

This is a palace with an exotic style. No matter how long Jiang Sile has lived here, every time he enters, he will be amazed by its simplicity.

Look at that pattern, that carving!Look at that engraving technique!

Jiang Sile looked at it in amazement. For her, the beauty and sensory stimulation brought by these artificially built palaces seemed to never fade.

These things, she dared to bet, absolutely do not exist in modern times!

This kind of decoration is even rarer. It is not the kind of carving that the people of the Central Plains would like. Those carvings are a bit hideous, but if you look closely, you will feel a sense of solemnity.

She had inquired before that the construction of the palace was completed as early as 300 years ago.

300 years sounds like a short time.But in 300 years, Qingyi has changed thirteen Shan Yu, which is considered a long history for human beings.

These carvings...or simply the construction of the entire palace are all from the Timu people.

The Timu people are not a tribe on the prairie, they... According to those old people, they are people from the farther west of the mountains.

Once because of the great famine, they were forced to climb the mountains and meet the Qingyi people in the grasslands.

However, they don't have much fighting power, especially compared with the Qingyi people.They don't know how to ride horses, and they don't have the craft of forging. The whole tribe doesn't even have a sword.

Because they were too weak, the Qingyi people didn't even spend any manpower to beat them, and they easily surrendered them.

For more than ten years after that, the Timu people lived on the grassland as a subsidiary of the Qingyi people.

Gradually, after getting along for a long time, the Qingyi people discovered that although the Timu people were not good at fighting, they were still very good at building cities.
