The five assassins returned without success, so Mr. Chen naturally lost his temper again, but he also knew that the sacred objects were not so easy to get back.
So, after losing his temper, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth and decided to use the last thing.
Originally, he wasn't going to touch this thing, but if he could use this thing to get back the sacred object, then everything would be worth it!
Later that night, Long Xiaoyuan and the others didn't encounter any problems.
In the carriage, Long Xiaoyuan sleeps comfortably with Shi Qingzhou in his arms. Of course, this kind of comfort is incomparable to that on the bed.
The next day, the convoy continued on the road.
This time, at night, they checked into an inn in a small county town.
The condition of the inn is much better than that of the carriage.
Both Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou had a good night's sleep.
Because that annoying Mr. Chen didn't come over to show his presence.
In the early morning, the sunlight outside poured into the inn, Long Xiaoyuan turned over and looked at the people around him.
Shi Qingzhou hasn't woken up yet, but is falling asleep.
Long Xiaoyuan likes to see the other party's peaceful sleeping face the most, because it has an infinitely beautiful feeling.
So, I couldn't help but leaned over and kissed me on the other side's cunt.
Shi Qingzhou opened his eyes, the blood-colored pupils were extremely glamorous and extremely beautiful in Long Xiaoyuan's eyes.
Thus, Long Xiaoyuan kissed those beautiful eyes.
Shi Qingzhou blinked.
"Qingzhou, did you sleep well last night?"
"Well, not bad." Shi Qingzhou yawned and said.
"Just sleep well, let's get up and have breakfast."
"I serve Qingzhou." Long Xiaoyuan said very doglegly.
Shi Qingzhou glanced at the other party and said "um".
Serving Shi Qingzhou to dress and wash, Long Xiaoyuan did a good job and was very skilled.
After Shi Qingzhou got up, Shadow Wind came over.
The reply letter from Shi Qingshan border finally arrived.
Shi Qingzhou almost couldn't wait to open it, and then immediately frowned.
Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked from the side: "What's wrong?"
Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath and gave the letter to Long Xiaoyuan.
Long Xiaoyuan's face was extremely ugly after watching it.
"Your father is injured."
"En." Shi Qingzhou's eyes were very cold.
Fortunately, Shi Qingshan's injuries were not serious, but the attacker is still unknown.
That night, there was only one assassin, but he let the other escape after he succeeded!
Moreover, Shi Qingshan also wrote in the letter that he suspected that there was an internal traitor in the army.
Moreover, the position of this traitor is definitely not low!
Shi Qingshan also wrote that the matter of the traitor will be thoroughly investigated, and now there are plans and so on.
"It's not peaceful at the border anymore." Long Xiaoyuan said slowly.
Shi Qingzhou turned his head, "Well, it won't be calm..."
"However, if you want to know which side made the move, I've said before that the envoys from the Northern Kingdom are suspicious. But it's also possible from the Dongye Kingdom. What I'm worried about is that the two sides have joined forces."
Shi Qingzhou frowned. "If Beiguo and Dongyeguo join forces, the situation will be much more troublesome."
"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "Although the Northern Kingdom was defeated by the army led by your father, its strength is still there. If it joins forces with the Eastern Ye Kingdom to attack both of us, the problem will indeed be very big."
Shi Qingzhou thought for a while, and said, "How is Qin Yuechun's situation at the border gate of Dongye Kingdom?"
"It's a small fight, we haven't broken our skin with Dongye Kingdom yet." Long Xiaoyuan said.
"Yeah..." Shi Qingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, "Then maybe we shouldn't just play around."
Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "Qingzhou, do you want to..."
Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "It's time for Dongye Kingdom to push forward. In addition, we need to speed up and return to the imperial city. Those on the list in the remaining cities will be handed over to Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan." Solve it."
Long Xiaoyuan immediately understood what the other party meant and nodded. "Okay, that's fine, if we hurry up...
He can return to the imperial city in less than ten days, but at the same time, Qin Yuechun can take action first. "
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Well, let's do this, otherwise, everyone will regard us as soft persimmons."
They have killed a lot of people in the past few months, it is really impossible to say who treats them as soft persimmons now, but Long Xiaoyuan doesn't feel the need to refute his Qingzhou at all!
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan nodded directly. "Qingzhou said, since those people want a war, then just give them a war. This is true for the Dongye Kingdom, and even more so for the Northern Kingdom!"
"That's right." Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. "Besides, Beiguo and Dongyeguo are separated by us after all, so what if they want to unite? As long as they can't break through the defense line at the border, we can't talk about anything."
Long Xiaoyuan also smiled slightly when he heard the words. "What Qingzhou said is that I am very relieved that there is your father in the northern country. However, your father is very powerful as a general, but he is still difficult to guard against in martial arts. I plan to send twenty shadow guards there."
Shi Qingzhou paused when he heard the words, and then nodded after a while. "Thank you."
Long Xiaoyuan smiled, and looked at Shi Qingzhou dissatisfied. "Qingzhou, he is your father, but he is also my father-in-law. Isn't it kind of you to tell me thank you?"
Shi Qingzhou hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "I want to send Yingqiu over."
"Alright, let Yingqiu lead the team. With him, twenty shadow guards, only responsible for your father's safety, should be enough. Well, let's go with two more imperial physicians."
"Okay." Shi Qingzhou's eyes softened. "It would be even better to have two imperial physicians accompanying me, and I can feel completely at ease."
After making a decision, the two imperial physicians who came with Zhang Yuan this time, together with Ying Qiu led the team, twenty one shadow guards and two imperial physicians immediately set off for the border where Shi Qingshan was located.
At the same time, Long Xiaoyuan also called Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan over.
"There are some changes at the border. We need to go back to the imperial city to make arrangements. Liu Suifeng, Ouyangchuan, and the remaining three cities. We want to hand over the people on the list to you for execution."
"Huh?" Liu Suifeng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. "Are you going back?"
"Well, and Mr. Chen is outside. Although we need your force, we are worried about taking you away, so we can only keep you. After all, Liu Suifeng, you can restrain Chen Mengxing." Long Xiaoyuan said .
Liu Suifeng only thought for a moment and then nodded immediately.
"Okay, I'm going to give you some more detoxification pills... what about the holy thing?"
"It's really troublesome for us to bring the holy things back. I can only leave them to you. Your martial arts are high, so I don't worry about giving them to you." Long Xiaoyuan said with a smile. "But you're right, you really need to prepare some detox pills for me. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's medical skills are not bad, so you can rest assured."
Liu Suifeng also smiled. "Well, and if Zhou Huan makes good use of it, it will be of great help."
"Well, Zhou Huan was quite an unexpected surprise." Long Xiaoyuan also said.
Several people secretly discussed the future action plan.
Afterwards, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left fifteen shadow guards for Liu Suifeng and they left.
The reason why only such a few are left is because Liu Suifeng and the others have outstanding martial arts.
In addition, even though Mr. Chen gathered a lot of people, they are small and it is convenient to retreat.
Moreover, those people on the list, they have so many people, it is enough.
Zhang Yuan and Zhou Huan sat together, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou got into a carriage, two carriages, hundreds of shadow guards, and Qiu Ming's army hanging not far away.
Long Xiaoyuan and the others hurried to the palace.
Eight days later, Long Xiaoyuan and the others arrived at the imperial city.
And during these eight days, Long Xiaoyuan and the others have been on their way, but they have made many orders.
The war escalated at the border gate of Dongye Kingdom, but Shi Qingshan's side stayed put for the time being, because Yingqiu and the others hadn't arrived yet, and there was a mole around Shi Qingshan, it would be bad if he acted at this time, in case the mole jumped over the wall in a hurry.
Moreover, on the third day of Long Xiaoyuan's departure, they also sent ten shadow guards to the border gate of Dongye Kingdom to protect Qin Yue's coffin.
Qin Yuechun and Shi Qingshan are now the pillars of the Yuelong Dynasty. As long as there is nothing wrong with them, no matter what plots Dongye Kingdom and Beiguo have, it will be useless!
In addition, the person in Shi Qingshan's mansion who is good at disguise has also come to Shi Qingshan's side at this time, with this skill, maybe he can be of great help at any time.
Now, the war on Qin Yuechun's side has escalated, and Dongye Kingdom's minions here have almost been pulled out.
Without Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou, Liu Suifeng's work efficiency is very high.
You know, with Long Xiaoyuan around, Liu Suifeng and the others have a lot of scruples, but Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou are gone, and as far as they are concerned, whether it is rushing or killing people, they can go very quickly!
Therefore, when Long Xiaoyuan and the others arrived at the imperial city, Liu Suifeng and the others also settled one city. Now, there are only two cities left.
According to the news, Liu Suifeng and the others were also attacked by Mr. Chen, and they were still attacking crazily.
However, there are few people, and they can escape quickly.
Originally, Mr. Chen and the others were hunters, because they were in the dark, and Long Xiaoyuan and his group could not be in the light.
However, this is no longer the case.
Liu Suifeng and the others have now become hunters, and they don't fight to the death with Mr. Chen's people, they can kill as many as they can, mainly those on the list.
And the people on those lists are not stupid, and many of them have gone into hiding now. However, they can hide, but they may not be able to hide from Liu Suifeng and the others.
As long as they are in that city, then Liu Suifeng and the others can find it!
However, this also delayed a little time, so in eight or nine days, Liu Suifeng and the others only solved one city.
Back in the palace, the first thing Long Xiaoyuan did was... Pull Shi Qingzhou to sleep!
It's already evening, what are you doing if you don't sleep!
Although, in fact, there are still many things to do.
But these days, Long Xiaoyuan only felt that his butt hurt from sitting in the carriage!
He really doesn't want to sit anymore, and now that he's back home, the most important thing he thinks is to rest!
Only when you are rested can you have energy to do other things, right
So, after Long Xiaoyuan returned to the palace, he dragged Shi Qingzhou to the hot spring first, and then dragged someone to sleep.
Just sleep and do nothing else!
The next day, when it was time for the morning court, Long Xiaoyuan woke up.
Liu Xiangyang was already waiting outside.
During the period when the shadow guard pretended to be Long Xiaoyuan, Liu Xiangyang was taking care of many things.
After Zhou Qing's rebellion, Liu Xiangyang was promoted to the general manager, but he became more and more stable.
Under Liu Xiangyang's service, Long Xiaoyuan packed his outfit properly.
"The queen is still sleeping, don't let anyone disturb you, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Liu Xiangyang said immediately.
Long Xiaoyuan nodded, then walked inside.
After Liu Xiangyang went out, he hurriedly told his confidants below that he must guard the bedroom and not let anyone disturb the queen's sleep, and then hurriedly caught up with Long Xiaoyuan's sedan chair.
Today's morning is not too special.
Even, a large number of people don't know that the emperor is now the real emperor and not just a fake!
Because many people knew that the emperor was a fake, these ministers would naturally not show much respect.
Moreover, during this period of early court, the "emperor" didn't say anything.
At first, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to expose it.
until…
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Northern Kingdom have asked to see him many times, but I think it's better to meet you."
"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan immediately raised his eyebrows, the envoy of the Northern Kingdom? If he remembered correctly, he had already asked someone to deal with those messengers.
Now where is this envoy from the North Kingdom
"Your Majesty, on the eve of last night, several envoys from the Northern Kingdom were attacked by many assassins. Anyway, if these people were attacked in our territory, they would be contemptuous of our Holy Majesty! It's too much! Fortunately, the leader of the envoys from the Northern Kingdom was a little clever, so he escaped, and that person escaped again and ran into Wei Chen, who brought him here."
"Oh, so the person is outside, you brought it?" Long Xiaoyuan looked at the speaking minister with a half-smile.
The minister's name is Li Bing, and his official position is from the third rank, and he works in the Ministry of Officials.
"Yes, it was a coincidence that the minister saved the messenger... He was really angry when he heard the assassin's blatant assassination, so he brought the messenger here."
"Oh, that's it. It's really annoying to openly assassinate." Long Xiaoyuan said.
The minister was overjoyed. "May the emperor call the envoy to inquire about the situation?"
Long Xiaoyuan laughed again when he heard the words. "The envoy of the Northern Kingdom... I want to ask, but first I have to ask how Master Li was able to save that man who had finally escaped by such a coincidence?"
Long Xiaoyuan's words immediately changed Li Bing's expression.
Li Bing said cautiously: "Your Majesty, my humble minister is dull and doesn't understand what the Emperor means."
"I don't understand." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Why don't you understand? I'm just admiring Mr. Li's good luck, and Ai Qing shouldn't think too much about it."
Although Long Xiaoyuan said don't think too much about it, cold sweat dripped down Li Bing's forehead.
There are not many ministers in the court who are stupid, and they immediately noticed something was wrong.
Some people looked at Long Xiaoyuan with more thoughtful eyes.
Today's emperor is different.
Soon, those ministers discovered more differences in Long Xiaoyuan.
When Long Xiaoyuan made the minister admit that he took the envoy's favor to bring him here...
The minister was dragged down by Long Xiaoyuan's men and beat him fifty times.
Fifty boards, that person, even if he doesn't die, don't even think about getting out of bed in a short time, he will have to lie down for a month!
And after a month or so, I really don't know if this person can come back!
All the ministers also understood at this time, the emperor is back!
The real emperor is back!
After the morning court, Long Xiaoyuan returned to Kunning Palace.
Shi Qingzhou hadn't woken up yet, Long Xiaoyuan was a little surprised but not too surprised.
He knew that his light boat was relatively lethargic now, but he was usually very restrained.
Now, maybe it's a little relaxing to go back to the palace, right
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan left all the servants outside, and walked inside by himself.
Shi Qingzhou really hasn't woken up yet.
Long Xiaoyuan walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and kissed her on the lips.
At this time, Shi Qingzhou finally opened his eyes.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled when he saw Shi Qingzhou wake up. "Qingzhou, you're awake."
"En." Shi Qingzhou yawned lazily. "Yes, I'm awake."
Shi Qingzhou got up and asked casually: "How is the situation in the early court?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "It's nothing. By the way, one of the messengers escaped."
"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. "The shadow guard doesn't know?"
"I don't know." Long Xiaoyuan curled his lips, "I don't know what method he used to avoid it, but people are a little too stupid. After finally escaping, they were sent to the door again."
"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou was a little puzzled. "What's the meaning?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and told what happened in the morning.
Shi Qingzhou is also a little funny. "He didn't know it was the royal family who did it to him."
"Yeah, he doesn't know." Long Xiaoyuan flattened his mouth. "So stupid sent it up again."
Shi Qingzhou said: "Then what about people now?"
"Where else can it be, it's under control."
Shi Qingzhou touched his chin, and suddenly said: "You said, this messenger was sent up just like that... Maybe it's because I don't know what happened at the border."
"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan blinked. "You mean..."
"If he knows what happened at the border, he will definitely know that we did it."
"That's true." Long Xiaoyuan also touched his chin. "He didn't know, he thought he really met an assassin, that's why he found a minister and asked him to take him to the morning court for an open and aboveboard meeting."
"And there are two possibilities for this. One is that Beiguo did not participate in the assassination of my father, and the other is that he participated but did not tell the envoy. In other words, this envoy is an abandoned son."
"No." Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "There are really not many people from the Northern Kingdom in our imperial city, and it is impossible to abandon their sons." At least they can always find out some news.
Shi Qingzhou frowned. "If that's the case, the assassination on my father's side... has nothing to do with Beiguo?"
"It's hard to come to a conclusion for the time being. Let's wait for the results of the shadow guard, Bian, and see what we can find out."
"Well, let's do this first." Shi Qingzhou also nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Qingzhou, get up and have breakfast. I didn't eat anything last night. It's been a whole night. Are you still hungry?"
Shi Qingzhou looked at the other party and smiled slightly. "I'm really hungry."
"That's right, get up soon, don't be really hungry."
Shi Qingzhou pouted, it's not so simple to starve.
However, he naturally didn't want to refuse Long Xiaoyuan's kindness.
Therefore, Shi Qingzhou followed very obediently.
Long Xiaoyuan still waited for the other party to get up by himself.
When the two of them went outside, breakfast was also brought up.
Shi Qingzhou ate the cooking made by the imperial chef, and really felt that this is the life of a human being.
After all, those chefs outside are still more than a little worse than the royal chefs in the palace!
Not to mention this breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan really tasted happiness!
Shi Qingzhou also ate a lot, but not as much as Long Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiangyang looked on and felt a little sad.
Their emperor must have suffered a lot outside! Look, this breakfast is so... so sad! I must have never eaten anything good outside!
Long Xiaoyuan curled his lips, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the expression of his head eunuch...
However, having a servant who feels sorry for his master... still makes people feel happier!
After breakfast, piles of memorials were waiting for Long Xiaoyuan and the others.
In the past few months, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou have been outside, although it is said that someone will summarize and send them information about major events in the court, but after all, there are not many details. Moreover, the remittance is only a big event.
But now, it is natural to understand the details.
The two of them spent most of the next half day on processing the memorial.
And, communicate from time to time.
In this way, by the time they had lunch, it was past the usual lunch time.
After most of the day, the two of them gained a lot.
Find out everything that happened in the imperial city in the past few months. This is a report from the shadow guard who stayed behind.
What is known in the memorial is the direction and the political situation.
However, what can be seen from this memorial is that more than half of the courtiers in the court are relatively "good".
Moreover, it can also be seen that there are many more people on the side of the emperor faction.
This is good news.
However, it can be considered that they are aware of current affairs, otherwise, when they return, the first to deal with them will be those who do not understand!
Not long after lunch, the shadow guard who was in charge of interrogating the envoy from the Northern Kingdom returned.
Long Xiaoyuan immediately asked: "What happened to the messenger?"
The shadow guard immediately stated all the results of his interrogation.
After a while, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other, and Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand to make the shadow guard retreat.
Those envoys were actually abandoned sons!
"Northern Kingdom treats these envoys as outcasts." Long Xiaoyuan sneered.
"Well, I don't know anything... That's right, something happened at the border, and these messengers have never played a role. It's normal to abandon children." Shi Qingzhou's eyes turned cold.
Long Xiaoyuan let out a long breath. "It seems that the Northern Kingdom and the Eastern Ye Kingdom have really joined together..."
