The wind and frost in winter are like salt water mixed with salt water, which makes people's faces sting and hurt.

Chen Baiqi wore a dark blue hooded cloak embroidered with brocade rose flowers. The brim of the cloak was covered with a ring of fluffy rabbit fur. The soft white fur fluttered in the wind, seeming to freeze the silence of that moment.

Her pair of dark and clear eyes looked at Mr. Cang Yue quietly.

Mr. Cang Yue understood what she meant and closed his eyes heavily because of her silence.

After a long while, he opened his mouth.

"Help me save him... King Chu is dead, Yan'er... he is his only heir left in the world. I can't bear... I can't bear... if even Yan'er can't be saved..." His voice was hoarse and difficult.

With an unspeakable pity and sadness.

Chen Baiqi knew that he had always been a cold-hearted person. When he was far away in Juyang, he learned that the Di Rong border rebellion was happening in Pingling County, so he immediately led his troops to clear it up. There must be some conspiracy by the Queen,

But he may not be guilty of feeling pity for the suffering of the people.

He has always been a person with both benevolence and military merit. On the battlefield, he is like a Shura ghost to his enemies, bloodthirsty, cold and ruthless, but towards his relatives and people, he behaves so benevolently and righteously.

This may be the biggest reason why Chen Baiqi chose him.

And precisely because of the hint of weakness he showed in front of Chen Baiqi, Chen Baiqi finally let out a sigh of relief. She shook her head and came out to persuade: "Young master, he shouldn't live."

Moreover, he must have understood in his heart that even if she rescued him, others would not let him live.

Did he really want to embarrass a group of officials and generals who worked hard to secure the throne for him because of a sinful king?

Master Cang Yue suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her with a pair of red eyes. He pointed in the direction of the Chu Palace and the Royal City: "Yan'er is only eight years old. What sin has he committed? What wrong has he done? Everyone else treats him as such.

I want to die, but because..." He paused for a moment, only to feel that he would continue to say some words, and that was it. He put down his hand, calmed down his emotions, and said calmly: "Chen San, you should know why I gave in alone.

You go, just because you are not a member of the court, and you have no intention of wanting him to die, so I asked you to help me save him."

In fact, Chen Baiqi's position was no different from that of the people in the court. The so-called cutting off the grass was to get rid of the roots. She had to maliciously speculate that King Chu Ling shouted "Yan'er" before he died, which was because he planned to use the last trace of Master Cang Yue to attack him.

Brotherly love leaves behind this future trouble, waiting for revenge for killing my father someday.

So she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing that she was still stubborn and silent, Master Cang Yue suddenly said: "If you save him for me, I can make a contract with you."

His striking words made Chen Baiqi's expression froze.

She stared at him, speechless.

He...he especially remembers being drunk at that time?

Why could he treat her as normal and ignore her when he saw such strange and unreasonable things with his own eyes?

Master Cang Yue told him with his eyes that he remembered everything and that he could promise her anything as long as she left his brother's only bloodline in the world for him.

"Young master, you are really making things difficult for me..." Chen Bai clasped his hands, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

If you are a loyal minister, you will definitely try to dissuade your lord, and don't be emotional. The former king's heir is a tiger cub that can fight back at any time. The only correct way is to eradicate all the remnants of the former evil party.

But now, he was using this opportunity to induce and coerce her, and he was determined to force her to follow the villain's path of not discerning what was going on, and not just following the crowd.

Could it be that the only way for her to be recognized by the Lord is to become a traitor who is despised and ostracized by the ministers?

After all, Master Cang Yue didn't really treat her as a scholar of great use.

If this matter was discovered by others, she could already predict how they would treat her, and how should she deal with herself in the future?

My lord is stupid, but she still blindly asks for credit. What a traitor, what a traitor.

——

Although he felt embarrassed about his position, from the perspective of saving people, Chen Baiqi was not opposed to it.

In the end, Chen Baiqi agreed to Master Cang Yue's request and went into the Chu Palace at night to rescue Chu Yan.

But at the moment she agreed to Master Cang Yue, the system unexpectedly sent a warning.

System: Warning, rescuing Prince Chu Yan, the son of King Chu Ling, is inconsistent with the main mission "The New King Ascends the Throne". If the character insists on taking action, some irreversible things may happen in the future.

What do you mean? Chen Baiqi frowned.

"What is irreversible?"

System: I don’t know at the moment, but anything that goes against the main mission will be interfered by the law of heaven...

The systematic explanation is very general and uncertain, at least to Chen Baiqi's ears.

Since she didn't know, she said that it was not necessarily all bad things. Besides, she had already agreed to Master Cang Yue. If she turned her back on him and gave up her responsibilities before the battle, he would probably never agree to be her lord in this life. Then her plan to dominate the Warring States Period would be

It was really a stillbirth.

Before entering the Chu Palace to rescue Young Master Chu Yan, she wrote a letter to be sent to Chen Jiabao in Pingling. The letter stated that she would stay in Danyang for the time being and informed Chen's father about the current development of the situation in Danyang and the relationship between Chen and Chen in Danyang.

If he decides about her current situation, he can go to Danyang to look for her.

Now the war in Danyang has basically calmed down. Although there is still smoke and chaos everywhere, after the Cangyue Army takes over, it will be safe to go in and out.

Regarding Danyang Chen family, her family, she did not go out of her way to visit.

The head of the Chen family was an admonishing official, and he was an old confidant of King Chu Ling. He was the only one who fled the family this time, but he left in a hurry and in a panic. He only took away the eldest room and his children, as well as those from the side courtyard.

The concubine and the concubine and concubine stayed in the mansion.

In the past few days, a large number of family members of the former officials in the city had been questioned. All the people on the list who were closely related to Chu Lingjun were ransacked and detained. They were sentenced and executed according to the severity of the crime.

The Chen family was detained in the palace and had no knowledge of foreign affairs, so they had been anxiously waiting for the worst outcome.

Logically speaking, the Chen family was also among the people who confiscated their homes and exterminated their families. Fortunately, Chen Baiqi, a girl from the Chen family, made great contributions to Mr. Cangyue, so that the Chen family who stayed in the mansion did not suffer from the Chen family head.

Sitting together.

Chen Baiqi doesn't have much affection for the Chen family, but considering the real living environment and the fact that Chen Bo grew up in this family, she will naturally protect the family.

With her family, she has a background and backing. Although this time the Chen family was hurt by King Chu Ling and its reputation plummeted, the centuries-old heritage cannot be easily erased. This time, it was because of her that she saved the world.

The entire Chen family thinks that if she and her father Chen get back together and return to the family tree to sign up for the family tree, there will no longer be any difficulties.

When Chen's father re-enters the family tree, is corrected, and becomes the Danyang Chen family, she will be in a different situation.

When Chen Baiqi sent a letter to Chen Jiabao, a letter from Chen Jiabao also returned to her.

The date signed by Chen's father is about half a month ago. In addition to various crying complaints and accusations of her rash departure from home, the main content is probably that Ji Yun and his entourage went to look for Ji Yun.

She went and asked her to reply to him immediately if she met him.

Brother-in-law came to see her?

But the problem is, they didn't meet each other at all.

Chen Baiqi held the silk and thought deeply for a long time. He immediately found Si Jiang and ordered him to immediately send people into several groups to follow the path from Danyang to Diaozhu to search for his brother-in-law's whereabouts. He must be found.

Si Jiangdao's route from Danyang to Diaozhu was wide and varied, and divided into two areas: land and water. If an intensive search was to be carried out, it would be necessary to mobilize the Chen family's army en masse.

Chen Baiqi considered that the current situation in Danyang was settled and there was no need for the Chen family's army to station reinforcements outside the city, so he asked Si Jiang to send out people to find Ji Yun without any worries.

Si Jiang agreed and went to do it immediately.

Chen Baiqi frowned and walked around the room, unable to calm down.

Calculating the time, my brother-in-law should have arrived in Diaozhu long ago. Even if he arrived late, there are cronies of the Cang Yue Army taking over the three palaces. The incident between the three palaces of Diaozhu and King Di Rong has caused an uproar. It is so big that anyone who arrives in Diaozhu will

It is impossible not to know that if he went directly to inquire about Cang Yuejun, and the people in the mansion heard about his brother-in-law's intention, why wouldn't they tell him to come as soon as possible?

Unless... he didn't arrive safely at Jiuzhai, but something happened on the way?

But with the brother-in-law's ability, even if he encounters trouble on the road, he will be able to send a message back to tell him that she has left a tame and well-behaved falcon for him. As long as he lets it go, it will take the initiative to find her.

Why is it so silent?

And this letter...

Chen Bai sat up at the table, thinking about something, but he always felt that he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Now she has sent people to search everywhere, hoping that nothing will happen to her brother-in-law.

It was night, when the stars were dark and the moon was hidden, Chen Baiqi put on a dark cloak and blended into the night, sneaking into the Chu Palace.

Today's Chu Palace is heavily guarded outside, because a fire burned down countless buildings by Chu Lingjun a few days ago. After a day and night, everyone put out the fire and doused it. The soldiers who put out the fire were so tired that they fell to the ground.

, I slept soundly at night, but now a large area of ​​the Chu Palace was burnt, blackened and smelly, making it impossible for anyone to live in it. However, because he was wary of relevant personnel in the palace escaping from the palace, the general ordered the palace gates on all sides to be tightly guarded.

With permission from above, no one is allowed to enter.

Therefore, if you want to enter the palace, you must first lure away the soldiers guarding the palace gate.

Regarding this aspect, Chen Baiqi had a big golden finger like Mr. Cang Yue. He and she finalized the time and date of entering the palace to rescue Chu Yan, so he found a reason to transfer the heavy guard at the entrance of Zhunan Palace. Taking advantage of this

In a short gap of time, she easily sneaked into the palace.

Because he does not want to arouse others' suspicion and speculation, Master Cang Yue will discuss the succession with the ministers tonight and will not enter the palace with her.

He would only cover for her secretly.

There are very few guards left in the Chu Palace. As long as you avoid the regular patrol routes, you can easily reach "Chonghua Residence", the residence where Chu Yan is currently imprisoned.

It stands to reason that once Chu Yan's whereabouts are discovered, he will be secretly dealt with. Of course, he will find an appropriate and falsely compassionate excuse to the outside world, such as sudden death, serious illness, etc. But before everything started, Chu Cangyue was...

He tried hard to stop him, but he was temporarily imprisoned here.

These days, the pressure on Master Cang Yue is also very heavy. Everyone is urging the young master Chu Yan to be killed to prevent him from avenging his father in the future and starting a fight again. However, Chu Cang Yue ignores these remarks.

Of course, he didn't say that he wanted to release him, he just said it.

And just when everyone thought he was just hesitating and considering, unexpectedly, he had already made a decision in private and put it into action.
