Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 162 Missing a Guide

When leaving Beijing, only Zheng Qianqiu and Baihe were by his side, and there were more than a dozen of Zheng Qianqiu's subordinates, not many in number, but all of them were good at surviving in the wild. The arrangement was so proper that Xie Jinhua didn't feel the danger and fatigue of the journey at all.

Zheng Qianqiu is talking with Xie Jinhua.

Zheng Qianqiu told Xie Jinhua that the winner had already been drawn between King Qi and King Rui in the capital.

"It was King Qi who won. King Rui wanted to hijack the emperor, but he was arrested on the spot by several ministers led by King Qi. The emperor ordered King Rui to be imprisoned, and King Qi was officially appointed as the heir of the East Palace. The emperor's health became worse and worse. If you don't come back, you haven't been to court for several days, and the day when King Qi ascends the throne is not far away."

When Zheng Qianqiu talked about King Qi, he was not in a good mood. After all, the other party's thoughts on Xie Jinhua made him feel sick when he thought about it.

It is Qin Zheng who treats Xie Jinhua wholeheartedly, Zheng Qianqiu can't help being picky in every possible way, seeing what is not pleasing to the eye, let alone King Qi, who has many women around him, who is annoying because of his small thoughts.

Xie Jinhua was not surprised when he heard Zheng Qianqiu talking about this: "Among the few remaining sons of His Majesty, King Qi is the most thoughtful and the best at acting, but there is no surprise, the throne will still be his sooner or later."

This seems to be King Kwaqi, but it is actually ironic.

The emperor's remaining sons all had their own fatal weaknesses, and none of them could truly stand alone and be worthy of use, so it was King Qi who won.

It's just a general drawn out of a short man.

"By the way, where's Baili's house?"

Xie Jinhua turned around and asked about Baili's family.

Neither the emperor nor the king of Qi would feel at ease with the Baili family.

In terms of understanding of the emperor's mind, Xie Jinhua boasted that he could not lose to anyone.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

Qin Zheng went to the border for Xiyuan to kill Baili's father and son. This kind of words is to deceive those people who don't know anything. Xie Jinhua knows the emperor's thoughts very well, and knows Qin Zheng's thoughts. Whatever the two of them did must have been ordered by the emperor.

Qin Zheng failed, the emperor should not just give up like this, the emperor is dying, King Qi is capable of conspiring, but the overall situation is not good, the most likely thing the emperor will do is to pull Bailifeng and his son died together, or they crushed Baili's family severely.

Xie Jinhua couldn't help caring about the Baili family. One was because of Bailifeng and Bailixiu. Let's see what the end result is.

"Bailifeng took over Qin Zheng's position as the commander of the Imperial Army, and now he is deeply trusted by the emperor and is permanently stationed in the palace."

Xie Jinhua liked to hear the news, so Zheng Qianqiu inquired about it clearly.

"The emperor now shows that he believes in Bailifeng."

Zheng Qianqiu said again.

It is well known that only the closest and most trusted generals can occupy the position of commander of the imperial army.

"If the emperor was assassinated and died while Bailifeng was in the palace, father, what do you think will happen to Baili's family?"

Xie Jinhua pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke.

Zheng Qianqiu was stunned: "You mean?"

"Your Majesty has only a few days left. If you want to exchange a few days of your life for the long-term peace and stability of the country, a qualified emperor knows how to choose. If he doesn't want to be assassinated, he can't even get close to you, father. If he wants to be assassinated , no matter how tight the defense is, there will always be gaps to take advantage of."

Xie Jinhua sneered, full of irony when he mentioned the two words of long-term peace and stability in the country and a qualified emperor.

Zheng Qianqiu's complexion also turned cold: "People from the royal family."

For a genius doctor like him, he has actually seen more unscrupulous methods of various high-ranking people than anyone else, but he is grateful for the contribution and loyalty of the Baili family to Daqing.

As a result, in the eyes of the people in the royal family, only the four words of meritorious service overshadow the master.

"Father, please deliver a letter for me."

The sneer on Xie Jinhua's lips dissipated, and he opened his mouth and said to Zheng Qianqiu: "Things in the world can't always be as you wish."

She has avenged her own revenge, but she can't just let Qin Zheng's matter go.

Xie Jinhua only took a while to write a letter and handed it to Zheng Qianqiu: "Father, find a trustworthy person and give it to Bailifeng. You don't need to do anything else. How to choose is up to Baili's family. "

Zheng Qianqiu was right next to him just now, and he saw everything written in Xie Jin's drawn letter. Now that he was holding the letter in his hand, he asked directly: "Do you really believe in Bailifeng?"

After all, if the person who handed over Xie Jinhua's letter was not trustworthy, then she would be included in it.

"At least more credible than those in the royal family."

Xie Jin drew his lower lip: "Besides, as long as this letter is in the hands of Baili's family, no matter whether Bailifeng believes in me or not, the royal family will not let the royal family take advantage of it for nothing."

"I'll go there myself."

Zheng Qianqiu decided: "With my medical skills, if something unexpected happens, I can always help you, Huaer, I can't protect you by your side these days, but the thirteen people outside are my medicine fairy Each of the thirteen guards in the gate has unique skills, and they will definitely be able to protect you well."

Zheng Qianqiu's decision to return to Beijing was not a whim, but a deliberate decision.

Xie Jinhua is going to find Qin Zheng. If Qin Zheng is really alive, he is probably in Xiyuan now. Based on his understanding of Qin Zheng, he will not be willing to be lonely.

Xie Jinhua just left everything behind to find Qin Zheng, because he cared about Qin Zheng to the extreme, and also believed that Qin Zheng only cared about her.

But as a father, Zheng Qianqiu couldn't help but worry more.

He is excellent in both medicine and poison, and he has the backing of the Immortal Medicine Sect, because over the years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth in saving people with his medical skills. If Xie Jinhua values ​​an ordinary person, or a person with a less sensitive identity, these There are more than enough bargaining chips, but Xie Jinhua likes Qin Zheng, whose identity is too sensitive.

Destined to fight, whether Qin Zheng fights by himself or helps others, there will be no peace around him, Xie Jinhua needs a stronger backing.

The members of the Daqing royal family can't be counted on. The existence of the Baili family just fell into his eyes.

The Baili family has enough troops, has enough popularity, and has more opportunities, not to mention that both Bailifeng and Bailixiu are friends with Xie Jinhua, and there may be some agreement between Qin Zheng and the Baili family. If the Li family can take the opportunity to take the position, then in the future, no matter what Qin Zheng's status or situation is, Xie Jinhua will never suffer, and there will always be a way out.

Zheng Qianqiu didn't say these words to Xie Jinhua.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the top of Xie Jinhua's hair lightly, with some reluctance in his eyes: "Hua'er, you must take care of yourself, I will come to you as soon as I finish the matter."

Xie Jinhua was also a little bit reluctant, but didn't say much: "Father, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself."

Zheng Qianqiu left as soon as Zheng Qianqiu left, and the thirteen guards he left behind were obviously a little nervous, showing that most of the time when they encountered towns, they just sent people in to buy things, and then left quickly after everything was complete, instead of They took Xie Jinhua to check in, they were worried about staying too long and something would happen.

Zheng Qianqiu is the backbone of these people.

All the way to the north, the more north you go, the fewer towns, the stronger the wind and sand, and the colder the wilderness.

Xie Jinhua has enjoyed blessings, suffered hardships, and suffered crimes. It is just a few more days of eating and sleeping in the open. If you eat and drink enough, you should be satisfied.

She felt that it didn't matter, but Lily looked at Xie Jinhua sleeping in the wilderness and eating dry food and snacks, but her heart ached.

"Miss, this is the dim sum that Fang Yuan just went to the town to buy, try it."

On this day, Lily opened the curtain of the car, and carefully handed the oil-paper package to Xie Jinhua. Fang Yuan was one of the 13 people, the most flexible, able to talk and do things, and he usually did the shopping.

While making tea, Lily couldn't help expressing her grievances for Xie Jin: "Miss, you have suffered so much all the way out. In the past, you can eat snacks at any time for three meals. You can tell the kitchen to make any snacks. How could it be As it is now, it’s okay to pass through villages, towns and counties where there are people, and you can still buy some food, but if there are no people, you can’t even eat snacks.”

Xie Jinhua opened the oil-paper bag, first picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into Lily's mouth: "Okay, we are traveling out of Beijing, not for a picnic, can't we still have dim sum now? Today's dim sum The taste is much better than the day before yesterday."

Xie Jinhua said with a smile, eyebrows and eyes curved, very satisfied and relaxed.

Lily looked at Xie Jin's smiling face, and couldn't help swallowing the words that continued to complain.

It's just that she still feels bad, in her heart, Xie Jinhua deserves the best treatment.

"Lily, I have not been the daughter of the Xie family since I left Beijing, and I am not a county lord anymore. Now our situation is much better than imagined, and the further north we go, the less populated people are. In the days to come It won't be much better than now, there are some things you have to get used to as soon as possible, if you can't get used to it, Lily, you still have time to go now."

Xie Jinhua took a look at Lily, and guessed that she still had pimples in her heart. After thinking about it, she restrained her smile, and spoke to Lily solemnly.

Lily froze.

"Miss. Miss, do you want to drive me away? Lily has been with Miss since she was a child, and she will be with her for the rest of her life. Lily will not leave."

Lily fell to her knees in front of Xie Jin's picture, biting her lips stubbornly: "I will never say these words again, miss, don't drive me away."

Xie Jinhua looked at Lily's kneeling down with a bang, feeling a little distressed.

He reached out and grabbed Lily's hands, trying to pull her up: "Okay, I'm not trying to drive you away, but" for Lily's good.

Xiyuan will not be safer than Daqing.

She was worried that she couldn't protect Lily.

"No matter what, I just want to serve by Miss's side."

Lily directly interrupted Xie Jinhua's words: "Miss, if you drive me away, I won't be able to kneel forever."

Lily pursed her lips stubbornly.

"Forget it, if you want to follow suit, you must be obedient in the future, you know? Whatever I say is what I say."

Xie Jinhua looked around, it was in the wilderness, and it was close to the border. To be honest, if she left Lily here, she would be even more worried.

"Originally, I listened to Miss."

Lily laughed again.

The faint sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside.

Like a drum beating, it was getting closer and closer.

The thirteen guards who had been resting around quickly surrounded Xie Jinhua's car, and one of them got on the carriage shaft directly. If there was any accident, he would drive away with Xie Jinhua first.

"Miss, please don't come out."

The man reminded Xie Jin to draw.

"What happened outside?"

Lily wanted to lift the curtain to have a look, but Xie Jinhua took her hand: "Don't move."

Before you know whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is best not to do redundant things.

"Who, stop!"

"Go forward and we will start!"

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, when the guards couldn't help but want to do it.

With a bang, there was a sound of falling heavily to the ground.

"Help, help. You will repay yourself"

The tall man in the jade crown and brocade robe reluctantly said a few words for help, and the next moment he passed out completely.

The guards around the carriage did not move.

Xie Jinhua lifted the curtain, looked at the strange man covered in blood on the ground, and suddenly said, "Save someone."

"Miss, I don't know the identity of this person."

Lily couldn't help reminding.

"He is from Xiyuan."

Xie Jin drew his mouth and said.

Although the man spoke Daqing dialect, his accent was weird. Looking at the blood-stained outline and unusually tall figure, and the five-poison jade pendant around his waist, Xie Jinhua confirmed this point.

Not only people from Xiyuan, but also nobles in Xiyuan.

"We are in need of a guide."

Xie Jinhua said with a smile.
