Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Nothing happened, just need to make some adjustments, come back as soon as possible. I remember that there is a Qu army near you, transfer here."

Xia Yuxiao's tone was very calm, but even Qin Ji realized how big the problem was.

"Your Majesty, you must at least tell me why you are mobilizing troops."

Daxia's sudden mobilization of troops is definitely not a good thing. Qin Ji knows very well that what Xia Yuxiao said now is actually an abnormal procedure - it is not difficult for him to adjust the troops of a nearby song.

The problem is that the military strength of that song is not under his direct control. If he wants to transfer troops, usually His Majesty first orders him to transfer troops and borrows the military talisman. .

It's okay to just let him bring the military seal to transfer troops. The military marquis of that song was a soldier his father had led, and he violated the procedures to transfer troops.

"There have been some troublesome 'people' in the country, call in some troops and solve them quickly." Xia Yuxiao briefly explained the reason.

She bit the word "common people" very hard. As soon as the words came out, Qin Ji knew that this might not be "common people".

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely dispatch troops as quickly as possible."

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he ended the sound transmission.

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Trouble 'people'"?

This reason does not sound like a problem, it sounds like it is telling him that there is a rebellion in the country, but...

Xia Yuxiao is the emperor. She wants to order someone to mobilize troops. It's just a matter of imperial decree. Even if he can't mobilize Qin Ji's soldiers, at least the black armored cavalry can still mobilize. It's just to deal with a rebellion. Most of the rebellion will not be well-equipped people. Compared with the elite of the regular army like the black armored cavalry, it is basically equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg. Do you need to call him back immediately to mobilize troops and discuss?

Moreover, the rush to deploy troops does not seem to be an internal rebellion.

I'm afraid that the purpose of this troop deployment is not that simple, at least for now, she needs to keep this matter as secret as possible.The so-called "rebellion" is probably just a deception.

Chapter 34 Doubt

"what happened?"

Lingyan, who was familiar with Qin Ji, immediately noticed his abnormality, and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty asked me to send troops back, saying that there was a rebellion." Qin Ji glanced at Jiang Shurou who was drinking tea in the room, and then said in a low voice.

"How is it possible? During this period of time, there is no abnormality found in the grayscale. At least the church must not have the ability to start a rebellion in Daxia. As for Thrall...they can't play the rebellion routine." Lingyan said to Very confident in this regard.

The mission of Grayscale is to secretly remove those unstable factors for Daxia, so she has a great say in this regard.

"However, His Majesty's tone doesn't sound like a fake, and if it's fake, she doesn't need to remind me to send troops."

Qin Ji actually considered at the beginning whether this was Xia Yuxiao's plan to get rid of him, let him rush back in a hurry, and then find an excuse to remove his power or even kill him.

There are many such things in history, and many courtiers were abolished immediately after returning.

but……

Qin Ji knew Xia Yuxiao very well. Although, as an emperor, she had always been very flexible on the bottom line of morality, she could still see the overall situation clearly. It was impossible for her to find trouble with him suddenly at this moment.

Moreover, if she really wanted to harm him, then how could she specifically remind him to mobilize the surrounding troops before going back...

and many more.

What if there is another possibility?The nearby army was originally her plan to let him take him back to Tai'an City, and then get rid of him and then hurry up?

This army is not his force. Whether it can be controlled by him is still unknown. He has transferred this army. If something happens, can he really rely on this army to launch a resistance?

Maybe when the time comes, people will be directly tied up by the soldiers around them.

so......

He couldn't just transfer troops like that, at least, he was worried that he couldn't just transfer the soldiers there.

"Master, if you have any orders, just say it, and I will try my best to do it."

Seeing Qin Ji's hesitant eyes, Lingyan said.

"...Then please, the two of us are going to transfer my garrison. Be fast and ride horses. How long do you think it will take for the two of us to go back?"

"The soonest, you can go back within half a day. Less than a hundred miles away from here, there is a garrison of your master, which belongs to the Mountain Army. Master, will you send them over?"

"Okay, just adjust this, don't make too many, one thousand is enough, I will go with you."

Anyway, going to the nearest place to deploy troops would have to wait. After all, Qin Ji and Lingyan could arrive quickly, but the army couldn't just leave immediately.

"What will she do?"

Lingyan asked.

Obviously she came out to meet the scholar, it is really not good to leave the scholar aside now, not to mention, Da Xia may still need her in the future, just like this, the tea is not finished and the conversation is not finished. Leaving, for this somewhat sensitive talent, might be considered a lack of etiquette.

"...No way, I can't control so much now, let's do the important things first, and then consider her affairs..."

"How about this, young master, I'm going to dispatch troops, you can chat with her here as usual, and when I return from dispatching troops, I will go back to Tai'an City with you."

Lingyan gave such a suggestion.

Qin Ji thought for a moment, then nodded.

It can only be so.

He carefully took out the military seal, and then put it in Lingyan's hand. Lingyan moved it lightly, and put it on her body.

"Young master, you gave me your military seal so happily, are you not afraid that I will cause trouble?"

Lingyan asked with a smile.

As a captain of a country, the military seal was just handed over to her. Although Lingyan knew the reason, she still wanted to make fun of it.

"I trust you very much, are you satisfied?" Qin Ji rubbed her head, "Go, if it's too late, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to wait in a hurry."

He knew that it was almost impossible for Xia Yuxiao to have the idea of ​​killing him now, but he had to do everything perfectly to avoid the worst possibility from happening.

"Yes, sir."

With a somewhat joking tone, Lingyan got on the horse and galloped towards the distance at high speed with the soldier's seal on it.

Watching Lingyan go away, Qin Ji returned to the house.

"What's the matter? The guard next to you seems to be in a hurry?"

"Yes," Qin Ji sighed, "Your Majesty has entrusted me with something, but it's not important, so I'll let her handle it for me."

"Then your safety..."

When she said this, she didn't continue talking.

Because this seems to be very clear, when Qin Ji came, she noticed those people in the restaurant who were dressed as the employees of the chamber of commerce.Those people must be Qin Ji's own guards.

"Let's continue talking, where did we talk just now?"

Qin Ji sat down, and the two continued drinking tea and chatting.

…………

The South Barracks of Ancient Yucheng is a barracks with more than 2000 people stationed there.

There are requirements for garrison barracks in various places in Daxia. There is no time for war on weekdays. The number of garrison troops in most areas is not large. Most of them must be deployed around Tai'an City.

The rest are the local soldiers responsible for maintaining law and order in various places. These soldiers are usually managed by the local county guards, but all large-scale operations need to be dispatched by the central government.

It is this local soldier that Lingyan wants to transfer.

Facing the guards blocking the way in front of her, Lingyan didn't speak, but took out a badge that symbolized her identity from her bosom.

Seeing the large characters engraved on it, the guard didn't dare to stop her at all, but after all, he had a duty, so the guard politely asked her to wait a moment, and he wanted to go in to report.

Within a minute, the military officer of this army ran out in a hurry.

After seeing the soldier seal, the military marquis did not hesitate, but immediately summoned the soldiers, and then the whole army began to organize the weapons and armor, brought the food needed on the road, and left the barracks one after another.

This army belongs directly to Qin Ji, and Qin Ji's orders were naturally carried out immediately. Lingyan didn't have time to delay afterward. She gave the order to the other party as fast as possible, and the cavalry marched first. , be sure to rush to the scheduled location first.

After that, she quickly returned the same way and went back to report the situation to Qin Ji ahead of time.

What she didn't know was that after she left, two diners at the roadside stall started whispering:

"She's gone. Is it time?"

"It's almost there. You are watching here. Time is running out. She runs faster than the army in the city. You have to make good use of this time difference."

"Sound transmission, tell everyone, pay attention, we only have this chance."

"I understand that we will live up to His Majesty's will."

Chapter 35 Hunting

There is a distance from the military camp and Fushan County, Lingyan is going to take a rest.

It is not to let her rest, but to let the horse rest. Even if the horse can run, it is not made of iron, and there is still time for it to stop for a while.

only......

She looked around, and then took a deep breath to concentrate her attention a little bit, mobilize her aura, and perceive all the subtle sounds and changes in light around her. Now, in front of her, there is almost no existence that can be hidden. people who live.

However, she sensed nothing.

This made Lingyan fall into deep thought. Along the way, she always had the feeling that she was being watched.

Is this an illusion?

This bad feeling made her feel that something was wrong, whether someone was really following her or not, at this moment, Lingyan didn't want to stay here any longer, she rested for a while against the big tree by the roadside, and confirmed herself The horse has recovered a certain amount of physical strength, and then continued to turn on the horse and speed up to Fushan County.

The speed of this steed is very fast - it was specially selected by Qin Ji for himself at the beginning, so it is naturally not bad.

However, the accident still happened.

Just as she was riding along the main road for about a dozen miles, this fine horse, which had never had any problems, suddenly lost its balance and fell forward!

Lingyan, who reacted quickly, immediately realized that something was wrong. She adjusted her posture the moment the horse lost its balance, rolled off the horse's back, and supported her body with spiritual energy, so that this would be enough to cause serious injury or even death to an ordinary person. resolve.

And the instant she got up, she realized why the trusty steed had fallen:

On the road, between the trees on both sides, at a low place close to the ground, there are three transparent silk threads.
