The two hugged each other quietly, and the setting sun outside shone in, making their figures look taller...
Looking at the shadows huddled together on the ground, Yan Xuehen was in a daze for a moment, wondering what on earth he was thinking.
Just when he was about to muster up the strength to push her away, Zu An suddenly lowered his head and kissed her gently on the mouth.
Yan Xuehen's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or anger, but a red tide rose from her neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just before she was about to explode, Zu An had already let go of her in advance, smiled and waved his hand: "With Sister Yan's loving kiss, this trip will be smooth sailing."
After saying that, he didn't give the other party a chance to attack and disappeared into the distance.
Looking at his "fleeing in a hurry" back, Yan Xuehen's frosty face suddenly couldn't help laughing: "What a scoundrel~"
Let’s just say that Zu An was in a good mood after what he just experienced, and the wind was blowing under his feet while riding on Hot Wheels.
After driving like this for several days, they finally met the emperor's team near a small town.
This time the emperor went out to enshrine Zen with great fanfare. The procession stretched for dozens of miles, at least tens of thousands of people.
Zu An did not show up rashly. He saw a few familiar figures in the forward crowd and quietly looked for them while they were setting up camp.
Qin Guangyuan, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is a handsome man. Brother Qin Yongde seems to be responsible for guarding outposts in the army. Even the eldest lady of the Murong family is there. She is dressed in military uniform and with her wheat-colored skin, she is really heroic.
Several people were discussing the arrangements for the march with great interest, and were startled when they saw Zu An arriving.
But when we reunited after a long separation, especially when everyone was related, they quickly became happy, especially Murong Qinghe. Perhaps it was because Chu Youzhao loved Wujiwu that he was particularly happy to see him. The only regret was that Chu Youzhao was not here this time.
Didn't come together.
Zu An naturally knew the reason. After all, Chu Youzhao was disguised as a man. He could still pretend to be a man in the capital with the cover of the Qin family. If he was marching outside for a long time, it would be difficult to hide his identity as a daughter.
After a conversation, Zu An roughly learned from their mouths how large the emperor's conferring team was this time.
Except for the queen who needs to recuperate, other top figures in the capital are basically accompanying her, and they are all old acquaintances.
Qi Wang Zhao Jing accompanied him, but Qi Wang's eldest son Zhao Zhi did not accompany him, presumably because he was worried about being blamed.
Shangshu Ling Pei Ming can be regarded as Da Manman’s uncle;
The minister's right servant shot Biqi, the father of the princess, and her brother Biziang also accompanied him;
Shangshu Zuopushe was originally Yu Xuanchong, but unfortunately he was dismissed from office due to changes in Yu Nan and the Yu family in Yunzhong and did not come this time.
The Fifth Cao Shangshu of Shangshu Province did not come and stayed in the capital to handle government affairs. Zu An secretly exclaimed that it was a pity. He originally wanted to meet Sang Hong and ask about Sang Qian's current situation, but he didn't know how she was doing now that she was pregnant.
Meng Yi, the supervisor of Zhongshu Province, and Lian Yu, the commander of Zhongshu Province, came;
Pei Zheng, the servant of Menxia Province, Da Manman’s grandfather;
Attendant Dongfang Bai and Zu An thought of what Zhang Jie mentioned about the previous dynasty. His wife was the princess of the previous dynasty.
Among the nine ministers, Guang Luxun, Murong Tong, Tingwei Jiang Boyang, and Zong Zhengzhen Xueyi came.
Guang Luxun's duty included protecting the emperor's safety, so it was only natural that he should come here.
It's a pity that Jiang Luofu didn't come with us.
Zhen Xueyi's words, Zu An also thought of Zhang Jie's words, they also had a deep relationship with the previous dynasty, but the treatment between him and Dongfang Bai in this dynasty was very different.
However, when Zhengdang was imprisoned due to his scandal with Bi Linglong last time, Zhen Xueyi secretly helped him, and we still have to accept this feeling.
When the emperor travels, safety must be the first priority. Liang Wang Zhao Yi serves as the general of the rear army, accompanied by the elites of the Central Army from the six battalions of the capital.
However, the captains of each of the six battalions did not accompany them, but stayed in the capital with another group of people. Zhao Zhi, the crown prince of King Qi, was one of the captains of Yijun.
In addition, the cavalry general Liu Guang and the guard general Liu Yao also accompanied them with the men and horses of the two guards.
Regardless of whether it is Zhao Yi or Liu Yao, Zu An has dealt with them before in Mingyue City. Although he felt that their cultivation level was very high at the time, it seems that it is just that now. With their resources, they only have the current cultivation level.
, it can be said to be an extremely mediocre appearance.
Compared with the Sixth Battalion, the Second Guards had a relatively complete set of senior officials. The left guard general Lu He was the brother of the empress's father-in-law Lu; the right guard general Guo Zhi had often dealt with him when he was in the palace before; the hit Huben guerrilla general Zhao
Yuan, he was considered a remote branch of the royal family, and he also had the title of King Guangling.
In addition, there are Huben, Yulin, Shangqi, and Yili tribes. Speaking of which, Zu An himself is still the general of Yulin, so he should be one of them.
Feeling that almost all the big shots in the capital were out in force, Zu An couldn't help but be curious: "With all the big shots in the court coming out, aren't we afraid of problems in the capital?"
Qin Guangyuan explained: "So the middle-level officials from various departments who are responsible for specific government affairs are still in the capital. In addition, the Crown Princess is smart and capable, and there are many capable people in the East Palace. There is no big problem in assisting the Crown Prince in supervising the country in handling government affairs."
"I'm not worried about this." Zu An naturally knew Bi Linglong's abilities. "It's because all the high-end combat forces of the imperial court have left the capital. What if there is a demon sect or rebels making trouble in the capital?"
Murong Qinghe smiled and said: "Brother Zu, you don't know something. There is Hachigong in the capital. Those old antiques usually practice in seclusion in the mansion. If something really happens, they will definitely not stand by and watch."
Qin Yongde also explained: "The Eight Dukes are highly respected, and everyone has the cultivation of a great master. Who doesn't have the foresight to dare to cause trouble in the capital? But strictly speaking, there are only Seven Dukes now. Speaking of which, it has something to do with my ancestor."
Zu An's heart moved: "Shi family?"
Qin Guangyuan nodded: "Yes, speaking of which, the Shi family is also the least senior among the eight major families. It will take time for the one in their family to become a grand master. Unfortunately, you single-handedly destroyed the entire family and never had the chance.
, this incident initially shocked all the major families in the capital."
Zu An was a little dazed. The Shi family that he had just encountered when he first traveled to this world turned out to be such a behemoth. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
As for the so-called Hachi Gong, Zu An has heard his name for a long time, but rarely sees him. Now that he thinks about it, he is just like the Council of Elders at the Demon Clan Royal Court. He usually does not appear in the world, and will only come out when there are major changes.
Zu An found an opportunity to inquire about Concubine Bai, but who knew that several people looked at a loss:
"The emperor did bring some concubines and maids with him on this trip, but Concubine Bai is the prince's concubine, so she shouldn't be among them, right?"
Seeing the confused looks of several people, Zu An understood that the relationship between Concubine Bai and the emperor was probably only known to a few people in the palace. As for the ministers outside, some might know it, but they would never mention it in front of their children.
After finding out the recent situation with them, he went directly to see Zhao Hao.
After all, Zhao Hao's cultivation level cannot be taken lightly. It would be bad if he was sneaky and eventually discovered.
With his current status, it was not difficult for him to request an audience with the emperor. Eunuch Wen quickly came out and led him to a huge imperial tent, surrounded by decorations such as gold, agate, and jade, which almost blinded a dog just by looking at it.
After the announcement, a faint voice came from inside: "Come in."
After Zu An entered the tent, he found that the imperial tent looked extremely luxurious from the outside, but the interior decoration was very simple.
Zhao Hao was meditating on a soft couch, with two pots of expensive incense placed in front of him. The entire tent was no less than one of the top blessed places in the world.
Obviously the entire tent is blessed by special rune formations, and there should be a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures added to the incense to help with cultivation and health preservation.
Hearing him coming in, Zhao Hao didn't even open his eyes: "Why are you here?"
Zu An replied: "The matter over Zishan has come to an end. I was thinking about reporting it to the Emperor, but I didn't dare to disturb the Emperor again, so I made a special trip here."
Zhao Hao then opened his eyes, and his face twitched slightly when he thought of being summoned by him like a monkey a few days ago. Now he felt a little more at ease after hearing his words: "Yes, there is progress."
Zu An then roughly told what happened on Purple Mountain, and he didn't hide Yun Jianyue's matter. After all, there were so many people on Purple Mountain, and he would know even if he didn't tell him.
"That witch Yun Jianyue is really brave, but the people from the Taoist sect are getting more and more mixed up, and they didn't find out until they reached the finals." Zhao Hao snorted, obviously a little dissatisfied.
Zu An replied: "The more the Taoist sect goes back, the more talented people come to the court. The emperor should be happy."
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows: "I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting better and better at talking."
"I'm just telling the truth." Zu An couldn't find anything wrong with his expression.
Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anything else unusual in Zishan?"
"No more." Zu An hesitated for a moment, and finally did not mention Wang Wuxie's matter. Firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, even if Wang Wuxie really had some problem, why would he remind Zhao Hao?
Be his slave.
"Zishan's affairs were handled well this time," Zhao Hao said with a soothing expression, "You came back just in time, and now there is something that needs you to deal with."
Zu An scolded his mother in his heart for making trouble for himself as soon as he came back, but he still said: "You should do your best."
"It's not that difficult, just help me execute a woman secretly." Zhao Hao said lightly.
