The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 884 Eccentricity, It's All Li Jin's Fault

As soon as Gu Qingyi raised her eyes, she saw Qin Shu's hesitant expression. She was silent for a long time, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "What do you want to do with your sighing expression?"

Qin Shu pursed his lips slightly: "Si Zhuoyuan——"

Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows: "What about him?"

Qin Shu was silent, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "Si Zhuoyuan is simply too much and too reckless. Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I will beat him up when I go back."

The corners of Gu Qingyi's mouth curled up: "You can come forward for such a trivial matter, as long as I come in person."

Qin Shu froze.

His Majesty coming in person?Can Si Zhuoyuan continue to live?
Qin Shu was silent for a long time, and said depressedly: "It's Li Jin's fault after all. According to the intelligence, it's because Li Jin disappeared, and Si Zhuoyuan left the imperial capital to find him."

"...So after all, it's because Li Jin is too willful."

Gu Qingyi smiled unconsciously: "Qin Shu, don't you feel that your heart is too biased?"

Qin Shu didn't feel it at all: "People's hearts are inherently biased, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me being like this."

Qin Shu lowered his head and kissed her again: "I'm biased and justified."

Gu Qingyi raised her hand to hook his long hair that almost fell to the floor, and said with a chuckle, "Well, you're justifiably biased."

"But... Li Jin left the capital without a trace, why did Si Zhuoyuan lead his troops all the way south?"

Qin Shu was startled.

"You don't think he's here to greet me, do you?"

"Is not it?"

Gu Qingyi looked up at him for a while, and found that Qin Shu really didn't suspect Si Zhuoyuan's actions at all, so he sighed slightly.

Qin Shu looked at her, met her quiet eyes, was silent for a long time, and then said sullenly: "Well, it's actually because Li Jin has also come to the south, and Si Zhuoyuan came after him."

"...Of course, it may also be because Si Zhuoyuan didn't know where Li Jin was going, but guessed that he was going this way, so he went this way without hesitation."

Gu Qingyi propped herself up and sat up, couldn't help but raised her hand and pressed her forehead and temple: "Where is the front?"

Qin Shu lifted the curtain and asked, "Xiao Ning, where are you going?"

Xiao Ning rode his horse and guarded the carriage. Hearing his question, he said directly, "Reporting to Your Highness, there are still [-] miles ahead to reach Yunzhu Mountain. After crossing the mountain and walking about [-] miles, we will reach the border."

Qin Shu frowned and ordered, "Bring me the topographic map here."

Xiao Ning bowed his head: "Yes."

Gu Qingyi looked at Qin Shu's indifferent and heartless face, and said with a light smile, "Why, it's already at this time, you still want to study the terrain here?"

Qin Shu shook his head, and has already started to move the tea set on the short table aside neatly to make room for it: "That's not to say, the terrain of Yunzhu Mountain is steep, if I remember correctly, we have to pass by Although the place is a relatively spacious official road, it seems to be facing a cliff..."

Qin Shu spread the map on the low table, traced his fingers all the way across the map, and then pointed to a place with denser lines: "Your Majesty, look here, this is a cliff. Below the cliff is a river. If we If you want to cross Yunzhu Mountain, you must open up a new road, or you can only walk here near the cliff, and the official road we are going to take is only twenty or thirty feet away from the edge of the cliff."
