After leaving the border of the western region, Fengyang arranged for people from the Fengyang Bodyguard Bureau to meet them along the way.
The Fengyang Escort Bureau travels all over the world, and all checkpoints are unimpeded. Su Fengnuan and others simply changed their faces and entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty smoothly.
When we were in the west, the grass had sprouted and the leaves had sprouted new branches. However, the further north we left the west, the colder the climate became. There were desolate weeds and fallen leaves piled up on the ground. In some places, the snow had not melted. a climate.
Su Qing said to Chu Han, "Look, Southern Qi is so prosperous. Although the capital is not in full bloom in spring, it must be a piece of fresh green. The Northern Zhou Dynasty is so dry, cold and desolate. What's the good?"
Chu Han's mood improved a lot after Ye Xi, Su Qing, and Feng Yang's words were teased in turn. Hearing the words, he sighed, "I grew up in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and I didn't think the Northern Zhou Dynasty was bad. , it is desirable, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has always wanted to annex the Southern Qi."
Su Qing tutted, "The ambitions of the royal families of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are really great. The royal families of the Southern Qi Dynasty never thought of annexing the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
Chu Han said, "Thirteen years ago there was King Rong An and General Su, and thirteen years later there would be General Su and Miss Su. Otherwise, Southern Qi would have already been dominated by Northern Zhou."
Su Qing nodded, "That's right."
Chu Handao, "The monarchs of the Southern Qi Dynasty only liked to settle down in a corner, and did not seek the unification of the world. They ruled the world with literature, and did not seek to enrich the country and strengthen the army. They can't blame the Northern Zhou Dynasty for being covetous."
Su Qing said, "Nan Qi used to be like this, but it won't happen in the future. Northern Zhou will never catch up with Nan Qi again."
Chu Han stopped talking.
The small team walked smoothly for six days, and arrived at Qingcang City, a hundred miles away from the capital of Nanqi.
Qian Han came back from inquiring about the news, and told Ye Chang, "Senior, the capital is under martial law for hundreds of miles. From Qingcang City to the capital, anyone who enters or exits will be strictly checked. Men must take off their coats and clean their faces, and women must take off their clothes." The veil is also clean. You have to look at all the items you carry. The Fengyang Security Bureau is no exception."
Ye Chang nodded when he heard the words, and ordered, "After walking for so many days, everyone is tired, so let's go to bed and rest first, and then we can discuss."
Qianhan should be.
Feng Yang brought a group of people to live in his other courtyard in Qingcang City.
After settling down, everyone had dinner and discussed the countermeasures for going to Beijing.
Feng Yang said to Su Fengnuan, "It seems that a major event happened in the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, otherwise there would be no martial law for a hundred miles, and they are afraid of changing their appearance and make people look clean. Even the Fengyang Security Bureau will strictly investigate."
"I'm not afraid of strict investigation. My senior brother and I used the customs clearance identities we used in the Northern Zhou Dynasty when we traveled, and I will forge a copy for you guys later, and I will change the appearance carefully for everyone. It can’t be washed off. Don’t worry about that.” After finishing the sentence, he said, “It’s just that the strictness is so severe a hundred miles away, and the capital must be blocked as solid as gold. It is very difficult for us to enter the capital.”
Chu Han heard the words, "As long as you can go outside the capital, I will have a way to take you into the city."
Su Qing immediately asked, "Is there a secret way?"
Chu Han nodded.
Su Qing asked, "Is it safe?"
Chu Han pursed his lips, "Only Shan Zhuo and I know."
Su Qing patted Chu Han on the shoulder, "I hope Shan Zhuo will remember your old friendship and won't betray you, otherwise we will be in danger."
Chu Han was speechless for a while, the Shan family and Shan Zhuo were loyal to Northern Qi, and he didn't know what Shan Zhuo would do after he knew his identity.
After everyone agreed, Su Fengnuan began to forge identities for Ye Chang, Feng Yang, Su Qing, and Chu Han. Qian Han, He Zhi, and the six guards each forged a follower's identity.
After a while, she forged it.
Chu Han watched from the side, and said to her, "With your hand, you can even forge your identity casually, which is enough to travel all over the world."
Su Fengnuan looked at Chu Han and said with a smile, "Thanks to you. When you raised troops to deal with the western border, my father led troops to the western border to defeat you. I sneaked into the Northern Zhou Dynasty to investigate you. I have checked all the files. Forged identities, naturally come at my fingertips."
Chu Handao, "Such a strict investigation is probably for me, for fear that I will sneak back to the Northern Zhou Palace. The people related to the royal family and me must be the focus of the investigation."
Su Fengnuan said, "Although that's what you said, who issued the martial law order? It must be Concubine Xiao Xian. Although people related to you will be strictly investigated, what about the people on Concubine Xiao Xian's side? Who dares to die Bite and investigate? Do you want to die?"
Chu Han nodded, "You're right. Father loves her and treats her very loosely. Her people often go out to buy things. Although she lives in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, many of the things she uses are produced in Southern Qi and need people to go out to buy things. .”
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Of course I know this, so I took advantage of the identities of these buyers. Presumably, for so many years, she and Concubine Yue have colluded with people in Nanqi, relying on these people."
After forging their identities, Su Fengnuan began to disguise several people according to their respective identities.
At the beginning, she checked Chu Han carefully, and also checked Concubine Xiao Xian and the people and things she was involved with, but she didn't check carefully. But it is enough to use her identities.
Sure enough, as Su Fengnuan guessed, the few of them went to the capital smoothly by relying on their disguised appearance and forged identities. No one dared to check the checkpoints along the way too carefully, and almost let them pass by waving their hands. It can be seen that Concubine Xiao Xian has built a very deep foundation in Southern Qi for so many years.
It also shows that they guessed right, the regime of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is now probably in the hands of Concubine Xiao Xian, and she is the one who issued the martial law order.
It took only two days to travel a hundred miles, and in the evening of this day, I arrived outside the gate of the Northern Zhou City.
Chu Han directly led a group of people to a big banyan tree behind Wuli Pavilion outside the city. He said to everyone, "The trunk of this tree is empty, and the hole is on the tree. We go up first, and you follow."
Su Fengnuan glanced at it, and said with a smile, "This mechanism's secret passage is unique and fresh."
Ye Xi smiled and said, "It's really ingenious to be in the big banyan tree by the roadside."
Chu Han glanced around and saw no one passing by, so he immediately jumped onto the tree, lifted a bark cover on the top of the tree, and jumped into the tree hole. Seeing that he had jumped, Su Qing immediately climbed up the tree and jumped down. Feng Yang and Ye Xi followed suit.
Ye Chang hugged Su Fengnuan by the waist, came to the tree, and said to her, "I'll go down first, and I'll follow you below, and you jump."
Su Fengnuan smiled at him and said, "You don't need to be so careful."
Ye Chang said, "It's better to be careful."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Ye Chang jumped down first, and after he jumped down, Su Fengnuan pulled out the ribbon from his sleeve, tied it to a tree branch, followed the ribbon, and pulled himself down.
After Ye Chang jumped down, he realized that it was very deep. He wanted to come out and tell Su Fengnuan that she had already fallen down the tree along the silk belt. He laughed, "This method is good."
Su Fengnuan shouted to the top, "Qianhan, untie the ribbon, you can jump down now."
Qian Han responded, uncovered the brocade silk tied to the tree branch, and jumped down. After he jumped down, six guards jumped down immediately. He Zhi stayed behind, and before jumping down, covered the That piece of bark cover.
Three feet below the tree hole is a tunnel, with small night pearls on both sides, very bright.
Chu Han waited below, and seeing that everyone was there, he led them forward.
As he walked, he said to everyone, "Because my father dotes on me, all the brothers are very jealous. They always trouble me openly and secretly, and stare at me for various things. I was so annoyed that I asked Shan Zhuo to discuss it. , secretly dug this secret passage. It took a full three years to get here from Shanfu."
Su Qing opened her eyes wide, "So, are we going to Shanfu now?"
Chu Han said, "The five gates of the capital are closed, and the outer city wall has been erected three feet high. One step at a time, one can't even perform lightness kung fu to enter. There is no other way but this method."
Su Qing said, "Do you think Shan Zhuo can be trusted?"
Chu Han said, "In the past, I could say with absolute certainty that he could be trusted, but now I'm not the Prince of Beizhou, so it's hard to say."
Su Qing said, "What if you are betrayed by him and he informs Concubine Xiao Xian that we will be trapped in the Shan Mansion then?"
Chu Han looked back at Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang, and said, "I don't know either."
Su Qing was speechless.
Ye Chang said, "Once people find out about Concubine Yue's changing son and raising her, anyone will be very angry. This matter can only be blamed on him, not on you. The Shan family is loyal to Northern Zhou, although you are not the second prince of Northern Zhou. , but now that the two countries are negotiating peace, he should not betray us, at most he will just stand by, if he cares about the past friendship, maybe he will help."
Chu Han nodded, "Since I dare to go back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is nothing to be afraid of. If I get involved with you..."
Su Fengnuan said, "If it is absolutely necessary, I will mobilize all the hidden stakes planted in the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it will not be a problem to retreat completely."
Su Qing immediately said, "little girl, why didn't you transfer it earlier? Why did you wait until it was absolutely necessary?"
Su Fengnuan said, "The hidden stake I planted in the Northern Zhou Dynasty cannot be easily moved. Once it is moved, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will definitely be in flames. Now that the two countries are negotiating a peace, the agreement cannot be signed in vain. If it is spread, the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will say that I am not aware of the situation. The Southern Qi treacherously ruined the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
Su Qing smashed it and said, "Okay."
Su Fengnuan made fun of him, "Third brother, you came back safe and sound from the tiger and wolf land in the east, why are you timid now? Are you afraid of this?"
Su Qing said angrily, "What am I afraid of? Is it because I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of you? You shameless girl!"
