"Back then, I went north to Gaoli with my father and Wang, and not long after returning to the southwest, the jade piece was lost." Duan Baiyue said, "I really took it with me before, but when I found out that it was gone, even the city of Dali was lost. It has been searched three or four times, but I have never been able to find it again."
Chu Yuan frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I'm afraid you'll be angry." Duan Baiyue said honestly, "I've been looking for it for so many years."
Chu Yuan glanced at the table.
Duan Baiyue continued: "Maybe someone stole my identity and cheated money and sex in the southwest, or maybe it was that Li Que who was lying. As for the purpose, I will find out."
"What about the war?" Chu Yuan asked.
"War should be the most important thing." Duan Baiyue kissed his hand, "So you have to give me time. This matter is a bit strange. Let me go back and deal with it first. In any case, I will give you an explanation."
Chu Yuan said: "Do you want me to bring Li Que to the East China Sea?"
"If that's the case, it's naturally the best." Duan Baiyue said.
Chu Yuan glanced at him.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay not to bring it."
Chu Yuan pulled his hand back and said, "Okay, let's go back to the East China Sea."
"Just sent me away like that?" Duan Baiyue put her chin on his knee and squatted on the ground to cheat.
Chu Yuan said: "In the future, without my consent, you are not allowed to leave the East China Sea for half a step."
"Let's talk about it first, even if you are angry, it can only be because I lost Zilong Jue and found a fake to deceive you." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't be angry for other things."
Chu Yuan stood up without even looking at him: "Si Xi!"
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"Your Majesty." Father Sixi hurried in.
"Seeing off." Chu Yuan turned and entered the inner room.
Father Sixi looked at the King of Southwest China and asked, "Your Highness?"
Duan Baiyue had a headache, and she whispered after going out: "Help this king watch more, if you keep getting angry, please make sure your father-in-law speaks."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Eunuch Sixi smiled and promised, but said in his heart, when did the Emperor really get angry with the Prince? At most, it is a small temper, and it will be awkward for a few days. Once you have a sweetheart, it's all like this, all like this.
The East China Sea battle was about to break out, and even if Duan Baiyue wanted to find out about Zilongjue, she could only return to Muyang City first, feeling aggrieved.
Later, Chu Yuan ordered Shen Qianfan to bring Li Que over.
"The people's daughter sees the emperor." Li Que bowed his head slightly.
"No gift." Chu Yuan said, "You don't have to be nervous, girl, I just want to ask a few questions."
Li Que said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"This piece of jade." Chu Yuan picked up the brocade box on the table, "I heard it was the personal possession of the King of Southwest?"
Li Que nodded: "Exactly."
Chu Yuan said: "Why make an assertion?"
"This item was given to the people's daughter by the King of Southwest China." Li Que said, "Seven years ago, in Dali City."
"Seven years ago, why did the girl go to Dali?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.
"I'm bored at home, go out to relax." Li Que replied.
Chu Yuan said: "And then you fell in love with the King of Southwest at first sight, privately for life?"
Li Que said, "Yes."
Sixi was waiting by the side, and she was at a loss. Where did this happen.
"What did he say when he gave this jade to the girl?" Chu Yuan asked again.
"I didn't say anything." Li Que said, "Minnu lived with him in the Guanhua Pavilion in the city for five days. When he woke up on the last day, there was this thing on his pillow."
Chu Yuan said: "Since it has been privately set for life, why did the girl not want to tell the King of Southwest when she was married, but married the Weihe Gang according to her words?"
Li Que said: "Sent a letter, but no reply."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "This sounds like a bit of a jerk."
Sixi: "… "
"The people's daughter knows that rebellion is a capital crime, and has no other extravagant hopes. She only wants to see him for the last time." Li Que knelt on the ground, "I beg the emperor to fulfill him."
Chu Yuan smiled: "Girl get up first, I promise you."
Li Que was overjoyed to hear this: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"As for Brother Ling, I think I won't agree." Chu Yuan said, "But it's okay, just leave it to Qianfan to talk."
Sure enough, Li Ying felt quite a bit struck by thunder after hearing about this.
Shen Qianfan said: "The emperor has already promised Miss Li, there is no room for change in this matter."
"You said this... what is this!" Li Ying stomped his feet again and again.
"It's just to see the King of Southwest China." Shen Qianfan said, "Then I will send the person back to Brother Li intact, and no one will know about it. Although the King of Southwest China is a crime of treason, Miss Li is very affectionate. The meaning is very serious, the emperor thinks of his infatuation, and he will not condemn Tianying Pavilion for this, so there is no need to worry."
"What's the love?" Li Ying said, "If it's true love, why didn't you mention it when you got married? Instead, after returning home with the divorce letter, you started to mention going to the southwest repeatedly?"
Shen Qianfan guessed: "Perhaps you dare not say it?"
"Is there anything else she dares not." Li Ying said, "To be honest, she was unwilling to marry at the beginning, not only unwilling to marry, but the entire Tianying Pavilion was turned upside down, and she ran once afterward. , I brought her personally and brought her back from Luanzhou."
"Luanzhou?" Shen Qianfan frowned.
"It's Luanzhou." Li Ying said, "Tell me, this Luanzhou can be north of Tianying Pavilion. If she really has an affair with the King of Southwest China, she should run to Dali, so why does she have to go north?"
Shen Qianfan patted his shoulder: "It's hard work, brother Li."
"If you really have anything to do with the King of Southwest China, now the emperor knows and agrees. I, as a big brother, can't do anything to stop it, so I might as well go with her." Li Ying said, "I'm afraid the King of Southwest is just a cover. Because A Que delays the war, then I, Tianying Pavilion, will become a sinner, and I will be blamed for my death."
"I see, but Brother Li can relax." Shen Qianfan said, "I will send someone to watch Miss Li all the way, and I won't let her do anything else."
Li Ying reluctantly agreed, sighing again and again.
The civil war in Muyang City continued, and Duan Nian was taking a nap in the tent.
Duan Baiyue came in from outside and smiled when he saw it: "Why, sleepy?"
"My lord." Duan Nian stood up, "You're back."
"How's it going outside?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Same as before, I yelled every day when I came, and stopped after fighting for a while." Duan Nian said, "Chu Heng sent envoys a few times, and it looked like he wanted peace talks, but he was sent back by his subordinates for excuses. "
Duan Baiyue nodded: "It's hard work."
"This is hard work, it's all about spending time." Duan Nian poured a cup of tea for him, "The Black Dragon Army is more busy. I heard that every time they go to the battlefield, the pioneer officers have to read an article in front of the queue. The letter was written by Master Wen, and the words are gorgeous, citing scriptures and classics, and after listening to it, most of the soldiers below can fall asleep."
Duan Baiyue held back a smile.
"It is estimated that Chu Heng will send someone to come for peace talks in just two days." Duan Nian said, "Will you want to see the prince?"
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "See you at the end."
In Dakun City, Ye Jin was also packing up and planning to pick up Chu Yuan.
"Bring so many medicines?" Shen Qianfeng picked up a bottle, "For lieutenant soldiers?"
"No, give it to Duan Baiyue." Ye Jin said, "Smell it, it will be withered for three years!"
Shen Qianfeng calmly put it back.
"Okay, let's go." Ye Jin said, "Leave overnight."
"Now?" Shen Qianfeng couldn't help but hold him, "I agreed to go to Fuquan City to pick up the emperor. Wouldn't it be too early to set off this time?"
"It's not early." Ye Jin said seriously, "I have to get ahead of Duan Baiyue."
"Even if it's just a pretense, the Southwest Army is still at war with the Black Dragon Army, so how could the King of Southwest leave the battlefield and go north?" Shen Qianfeng pressed him back on the chair, "Be obedient."
It's hard to say! Ye Guzhu thought angrily, after all, he was so lewd.
The army of Chu State continued to move south, and Shen Qianfan sent five cronies, who kept staring at Li Que secretly, and found nothing unusual along the way.
Fuquan City is the closest important town to Da Kun City. On this day, a letter was sent to Chu Heng, saying that the emperor would arrive at Fuquan City in three days.
"It's only a few days' journey to Fuquan City and then to Da Kun City." Chu Cheng said, "But Duan Baiyue has always refused to see us."
"He won't disappear." Chu Cheng said, "If he doesn't want to cooperate with us, he will have a chance to win if he wants to fight against the tens of thousands of soldiers in Dachu with thousands of southwestern troops. "
"It's hard to say." Chu Cheng said, "The other party is Duan Baiyue, and he is a difficult master like Qin Shaoyu. At the beginning, Qin Shaoyu also went deep into the enemy camp alone, destroying the entire Mobei ethnic alliance overnight. I have taught my children, marching and fighting, not only depends on the number of people, if there is no more than 80% certainty, if you want to come to Duan Baiyue, you will not easily send troops."
Chu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, this time you go in person."
Chu Cheng took the order: "Yes."
In Fuquan City, Ye Jin was looking at Chu Yuan seriously.
The two brothers reunited after a long absence. They were happy, but the atmosphere was a little weird.
"Cough." Chu Yuan said, "Do you want to leave a meal?"
Of course it is.
Ye Jin nodded.
Not only to eat together, but also to rest together!
Shen Qianfeng had a headache, why didn't he even go back to his room to sleep.
Sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, Ye Jin described Duan Baiyue's recent situation to his dear brother with a very sincere gesture.
"Opened three brothels, married more than a dozen concubines, indulged in booze nights and spring nights, gained a few tens of pounds, and had a three-tiered chin, and was bald because of excessive indulgence."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Ye Jin continued to add: "The middle is bald." This time there are even details. Believe it or not, it is very realistic.
Chu Yuan covered his head with the quilt.
Ye Jin looked at him with very bright eyes.
That's it, let's reconsider!
"My lord." Duan Nian whispered in Muyang City, "Chu Cheng is here."
Duan Baiyue smiled: "I can't sit still anymore."
