Beicheng, Shengjun military camp.
"The Twelve Cities are ready, now we are just waiting for action."
Ning Chengyuan and Su Huang were discussing the timing of action with several generals in the palace.
"Let's set out in early spring." Su Huang suddenly suggested.
Hearing this, someone below was startled, quite puzzled: "Why isn't it during the Chinese New Year?"
Ning Chengyuan thought for a moment and said: "Right now, we are at war with other countries. If we rebel at this juncture and the northern country is in turmoil, other countries will take advantage of it and invade. This is not what we want to see."
Ning Chengyuan narrowed his eyes. What he wanted from the beginning to the end was to remove the emperor from that position. He did not want to involve the innocent people of the Northern Kingdom into this dispute.
Su Huang nodded: "The war will basically subside in early spring, and the emperor will go out for spring hunting every year when early spring comes. We can choose to take action at that time."
Ning Chengyuan nodded and said, "I agree."
Then, everyone below began to echo one after another, obviously agreeing with Su Huang's statement.
During the ensuing discussion, Ning Chengyuan's subordinates suddenly came to report and said that there was a man from the Southern Dynasty who wanted to see him.
Ning Chengyuan was busy with important matters. He had no time to see anyone from the Southern Dynasty, so he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go back to him. Not long after his subordinates walked out, Ning Chengyuan suddenly had a sudden thought, and suddenly he thought of it. What, stood up suddenly.
Su Huang looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Ning Chengyuan said with a sullen face: "It's okay, you can continue talking, I'll go out first."
Ning Chengyuan had never felt that his heart was beating so fast. It was a very contradictory psychological contrast. Because he thought it was impossible, he never thought about the possibility. However, his subordinates said that he was from the Southern Dynasties. Find him.
The only person in his mind was Xuan Jiu.
But, could it be Xiaojiu
Would he go all the way from Beichuan to Beicheng to find him
When Ning Chengyuan walked out, he still felt that it was his own imagination. How could Xuan Jiu come to look for him...
He almost ran out, but when he came outside the military camp, he heard from his subordinates that the man had just left, in a carriage, and walked very neatly.
Ning Chengyuan cursed his subordinates and immediately rode out to chase him.
He was riding very fast on horseback. Not long after, he saw the carriage on the road among the woods and shouted loudly: "Xuan Jiu, is that you Xuan Jiu?"
The carriage didn't stop for a moment.
At that time, the person sitting in the carriage said to the coachman calmly while nibbling apples: "Don't worry, go faster."
The people behind him were still shouting, and the coachman sounded very distressed, "Sir, do you have any misunderstanding? Why don't you stop and talk about it?"
Xuan Jiu took another bite of the apple and said, "If you keep talking too much, you'll lose all your travel expenses."
The coachman had no choice but to speed up, but no matter how fast he was, it was just a carriage. How could it compare to the war horse behind him? Not long after, the rider had already jumped in front of the carriage, forcing the coachman to rein in the horse. down.
"Hey, young master, that person is catching up..."
Xuan Jiu didn't say anything, gave the driver some money, got out of the car with his baggage on his back, turned around and walked into the woods without looking back.
Ning Chengyuan, who was blocking the carriage, was surprised when he saw that the person getting off the carriage was indeed Empress Xuan Jiu.
