The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 182
Ye Junyan watched quietly behind the tree for a long time. Although Ye Junyan's mind is not like ordinary people now, he still feels unbearable when he sees a woman crying. He hesitated to go forward, so he hid behind the tree and said, "Why are you crying? Why did you get yourself wet?"

When Ying Shui'er was crying sadly, he suddenly heard a voice from nowhere, and was startled by surprise, the crying stopped immediately, and he looked around, but saw no one, and couldn't help being afraid He got up, clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest, and said in an almost trembling voice: "Who? Who is talking? Is... a human, or a ghost? Don't try to scare me, I... I'm not afraid of you."

"Sister Shui'er, I'm not a ghost. Is it because Sister Shui'er is afraid of ghosts that she is crying?" Ye Junyan continued to hide behind the tree and asked.

Hearing the other party call his name, Ying Shui'er realized that the other party was not a ghost, carefully identified the voice and almost jumped up excitedly, looked around the empty surroundings, and shouted: "Your Majesty, is it Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" It’s great if you’re fine, where are you, I can’t see you, come out quickly.”

Ye Junyan poked his head out from behind the tree timidly, looked at Ying Shui'er and said, "Sister Shui'er, I'm here."

Ying Shui'er looked in the direction of the sound, and found that behind a big tree not far away, Ye Junyan was poking his head out, tilting his head and blinking his eyes at him.

Ying Shui'er hurried over, grabbed Ye Jun and said, "Your Majesty, it's really you, that's great."

Ying Shui'er excitedly pulled Ye Junyan, and was about to say more happy words, when he suddenly heard the sound of two people walking towards this side while communicating in the distance, Ying Shui'er immediately pulled Ye Junyan vigilantly. Jun Yan hid behind a bush beside him, put his fingers upright on his mouth, and made a gesture of silence to Ye Junyan.

When Ye Junyan was curious and was about to open his mouth to ask why he couldn't speak, Ying Shui'er put his left hand on Ye Junyan's mouth, and whispered in Ye Junyan's ear, "Your Majesty, let's do it now." It's a game, let's see who can hold back the longest time without talking, and then he can have meat, okay?"

When Ye Junyan heard that there is meat to eat, he quickly nodded his head, and when he was about to say "yes", he suddenly saw Ying Shui'er and others looking straight at him, what can you receive, originally The mouth that had been opened wide quickly closed, suppressing the sound that was about to be made.

I saw the two people talking while walking, and one of them said: "Are you thinking too much, the team protecting the emperor has been wiped out by us, maybe the emperor died in the chaos long ago, It’s just that the body can’t be found, so what’s the big fuss? There are wild beasts on the mountain, maybe his body just happened to be picked up by wild beasts.”

Another person said: "Oh, who knows! You and I can't figure out the head's mind, but it's no wonder that as the commander of the team, if you don't do things well, you will definitely be punished severely, so it's inevitable to be careful."

The person before nodded and said: "Well, it makes sense according to what you said, but the king said that he couldn't find it in a day, so we have to stay here for a day, and if we can't find it in a year, we just keep a day." year?"

Another person went on to say, "Hey, the head has already sent someone to Southern Xinjiang to report to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister will make a decision, so you and I should stop worrying about this, hurry up and go back with some game. It's too late to go back. I'm going to scold again."

While talking, the two complained.Gradually walking to the depths of the woods, maybe to see if there are any more pheasants and hares in the depths that can be caught.

After the two walked away, Ying Shui'er and Ye Jun said that he stood up from the bushes. Ying Shui'er recalled what the two had just said, and muttered to himself: "Master Prime Minister? Southern Xinjiang? There is no such thing in Southern Xinjiang Position? It must be an official of Zhaoxuan Kingdom. Judging from the title, it should be a senior official of Zhaoxuan Kingdom? But why is it in southern Xinjiang? Could it be that the reactionary forces within Zhaoxuan Kingdom have colluded with people from Yunnan and Xinjiang? Look at it this way Even if we can send him off now, the emperor will be very dangerous when he returns to Zhaoxuan Kingdom. He is close to death, and it is the same in Southern Border. Maybe we have just stepped into the border of Southern Border, before we can see the High Priest, we may already be decapitated. "

Thinking of this, Ying Shui'er felt his neck start to get cold. I never thought about it. I haven't encountered such a thing before. I don't know how to deal with it for a while. There is no one here to discuss with me, so I fell into a tangle.

Ye Junyan on the side seemed to be okay, and said with a smile, "Sister Shui'er, talk first, and she wants to eat meat for me."

Ying Shui'er looked at the innocent Ye Junyan with a helpless smile and said, "Oh, it's actually good to be carefree and happy like you. Let's go, find a way to give you Get some meat to eat." Ying Shui'er looked around while talking, thinking that the way out outside was surrounded by people, there were traps and secret whistles everywhere, if he went out rashly, he might be caught at any time, Anyway, neither Southern Xinjiang nor Zhaoxuan Kingdom is very safe now. It is better to hide in the mountains for a while. Maybe try to get in touch with the High Priest first.

Thinking of this, Ying Shui'er pulled Ye Junyan into the depths of the mountain forest. They avoided the route taken by the two people before and walked in another direction. As the two walked further and further, the sky became darker and darker The darkness gradually engulfed the figures of the two of them.

After two days of rushing on the road, Gu Xinning and Zuo Haobai had already walked out of the Nightless Valley and climbed over the rolling mountain.

It was time to decide, the direction to move forward, Gu Xinning stood at the foot of the mountain with his head bowed in thought, Zuo Haobai stood quietly aside, did not speak, he did not want to disturb Gu Xinning, as a friend for many years, Zuo Haobai knew that Gu Xinning would definitely be able to come up with the most suitable plan, He was worried that what he said would affect Gu Xinning's judgment.

The two of them stood quietly at the foot of the mountain for a long time, when Gu Xinning suddenly opened his eyes, Zuo Haobai said, "Let's go back to the capital."

"The capital? Okay, let's go back to the capital." Zuo Haobai replied flatly, without asking why, he didn't need to ask, because he knew that no matter what decision Gu Xinning made, there must be reasons and reasons for it, He never doubted Gu Xinning's ability and judgment.

Although she didn't ask, Gu Xinning explained the reason to Zuo Haobai on the way.

While the two were galloping on horseback, Gu Xinning explained to Zuo Haobai at the same time that if the emperor had a smooth journey, he would surely arrive in the capital in a few days, so it is undoubtedly the most correct and direct way to return to the capital with the Tongshencao scheme.

Of course, it is also possible that he will encounter criticism on the way home at night, but even so, even if he rushes to the southern border now, he will be too far away from the dangers that the emperor encounters on the road, and it will not help.From Nanjiang to the capital of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, there are more than thousands of miles across the land. The route is too long. Without accurate and accurate information, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it will be futile.

So after careful consideration, Gu Xinning decided to go back to the capital first, which is the most sensible way, because in the capital, you can get information and news from all parties at the first time. If the emperor encounters danger on the road, the capital will definitely get the news sooner or later, and get the news The news must be clearer and more accurate than what I can find out from the people.

Once the court knows the location of Ye Junyan's accident, Gu Xinning can respond quickly, instead of looking for it in the vast world with flat head and turned.

At the same time, if something happened to Ye Junyan, the capital would definitely be in turmoil. In order to prevent Ran Hai and the Empress Dowager from taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Xinning must also return to Beijing quickly. First, he must stabilize the situation in the capital and settle his worries before he can concentrate on dealing with Ye Junyan. .

The two of them raced around day and night and ran for two days and two nights before finally reaching the capital. After returning to the capital, Gu Xinning did not return to the palace immediately, but went to visit Duwangshan's mansion together with Zuo Haobai.

Seeing Gu Xinning came back, Du Wangshan hurriedly went out to greet her and said, "Thank you, Empress Empress, it's really great that you finally returned safely."

After Gu Xinning returned the ceremony, she asked Du Wangshan, "Master Du, does your majesty have any news?"

Hearing Gu Xining's question, Du Wangshan couldn't help but frowned, sighed, and said: "Hey, I have sent two teams to look for news about the emperor, but they found nothing. Yesterday I sent people to the southern border to inquire. Has the team to greet the emperor set off, and how long has it been? I believe there will be a return soon."

Hearing this news, Gu Qingyang's mood began to become a little depressed. This can be said to be the last thing Gu Xinning wants to hear, the worst news. It stands to reason that as long as the officials who welcome the emperor explain their intentions to the high priest, and the situation, , the high priest will definitely not make it difficult, so counting the time, if everything goes well, the crowd should be the least close to the capital now, but now, there is no news about them, which undoubtedly has announced that something happened to Ye Junyan , As for what happened, it can be big or small.

The small thing is that Ye Junyan and his party may be hindered on the road, trapped somewhere, and unable to get out. If this is the result, it can be said to be a blessing in misfortune, but the worst result is that Ye Junyan may die. Encountered the risk of life and death.

"What should I do?" Gu Xinning kept asking herself in her heart, after a while, Gu Xinning raised her head and asked Du Wangshan: "Is there any movement from Ran Hai?"

Du Wangshan frowned, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "I have neglected my duty and failed to keep an eye on Ran Hai. He was sent to southern Xinjiang by him, and I ask the empress to punish him."

Gu Xinning frowned and said, "Forget it, Ran Hai is old and cunning, and Mr. Du has an upright temperament. It's no wonder Mr. Du. Now I'm only worried about the emperor. When Ran Hai arrives in southern Xinjiang, the emperor's road back to Beijing will certainly not be smooth."
