Everyone has their own selfish motives, and Fu Chengyang knows this very well.

It was precisely by using this selfishness that he was able to control the government and hold many foreign officials in his hands.

This relies not only on force, but also on interests. Following him, Fu Chengyang can eat with a mouth full of oil and don't have to worry about losing his head. This is the reason why many officials are willing to follow his lead.

Fu Chengyang protects them, and accordingly, when he needs help, they must spare no effort to repay him. This is a tacit understanding and a rule. If someone wants to break the rules, Fu Chengyang's terrifying side will be revealed.

Now Xuzhou Governor Song Qian has broken the rules.

He didn't know that among the staff in his house that day, there was Fu Chengyang himself.

Song Qian decided to send only half of his troops to support Qingzhou. After supporting the capital, the man immediately secretly passed the news to the capital and passed it to Fu Chengyang.

When Fu Chengyang found out, you can imagine how angry he was.

At such a critical moment, even the capital city is in danger of war, Xuzhou Prefect Song Qian is still so arrogant, which is a complete violation of the rules.

Normally, Fu Chengyang might just beat him up but not kill him.

But now several strategies against Su Yuan have ended in failure, and the current situation is not good, making him full of anger and nowhere to vent his anger.

Now Song Qian happens to bump into him, who will take it out if not him?

Bai Shiquan was thinking as he hurried on the road at this moment: "No wonder everyone calls Fu Chengyang Jiuqiansui. The dignified state pastor kills at will. It is really lawless."

He, the dignified leader of the Beggar Clan, is now being sent as an assassin, and he must be dissatisfied deep down in his heart.

But he didn't want to die in Fu Chengyang's hands, and now that he had put all his treasure on Fu Chengyang, he could only obey his orders.

After all... there is no place for him in this world!

Bai Shiquan looked gloomy and had a heavy heart.

Ever since he led the Beggar Gang to join the army and surrendered to the imperial court, there has been an uproar and accusations in the world.

After the news about Emperor Qingxiang's title of "Martial Arts Leader" spread, all the sects became even more scolded, and they all jointly stated that the world would never recognize him as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Not only did he not admit it, he was also expelled from the Central Plains Jianghu, and Bai Shiquan was not allowed to participate in any Jianghu conference from now on.

As the largest gang in the world, the leader of the Beggar Clan was boycotted by all the gangs, which was naturally an uncomfortable feeling.

But from the moment Bai Shiquan made his decision, he would not and could not regret it.

Now he can only go all the way to the dark side, hoping that the court can put down Su Yuan's rebellion as soon as possible, and then he and the Beggar Gang will have a chance to make a comeback.

"Su Yuan, magic..."

Bai Shiquan thought of the many strange spells that had appeared on the battlefield in Sichuan City before, and felt a little worried.

He has never heard of or seen these sorcery techniques, and no one has ever used them in the Jianghu of the Central Plains.

Could it be a strange technique from Northern Xinjiang? Or did it come from somewhere...

The world is full of wonders, and it is difficult for Bai Shiquan to make an accurate judgment.

He was just worried that if Su Yuan had more terrible sorcery, might even Fu Chengyang be caught?

After thinking about it, he shook his head again.

"The grand master is almost out of his mortal body, so how can he be afraid of sorcery? I'd better do my thing first!"

Bai Shiquan touched the baggage hanging on his chest, which contained an imperial edict forged by Fu Chengyang.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple. It requires all generals in Kaiyang City to lead the entire army to the capital immediately without delay, otherwise all nine tribes will be executed.

Bai Shiquan's mission was to make the imperial edict public after killing Song Qian, and go to the capital together with the entire Xuzhou army.

…

Zhou Shu wanted to go to Qingzhou with her, which shocked her two maids.

After they came to their senses, they wanted to persuade their master, but Zhou Shu's attitude was so determined. How could they not know that persuasion was useless.

After Su Yuan said "there is no such thing as joking in the army", seeing that Zhou Shu was still so determined, he agreed to let her go with him.

He left the words "Pack up and set off in a moment" and went to prepare first.

Zhou Shu himself returned to the room, opened the closet, and sorted out the changes of clothes he had brought with him.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue were helping. They had always been nimble, but now their movements were very slow.

After a while, when he saw that the baggage was about to be packed, Xiao Qing couldn't help but said: "Princess, why are you going to Qingzhou? It's so nice to be in Taiyuan..."

Although Xiaoyue didn't speak, her expression undoubtedly shared the same idea as Xiaoqing's.

Zhou Shu said to the two of them: "Xiaoqing Xiaoyue, I really want Su Yuan to win this battle. This is what the people hope for, and it is also what I hope for myself."

"..."

The two maids fell silent.

They could vaguely guess what Zhou Shu meant by "what they hope for".

When she was in the palace before, even though the emperor strictly prohibited it, some palace maids and eunuchs still couldn't control their mouths and spread some things about Concubine Rong.

There are rumors that Concubine Rong did not suffer from madness herself, but was forced and bullied by the emperor and other concubines, and finally became overwhelmed and became mad.

These are all rumors, and the facts are unknown, not to mention those eunuchs and maids, even Xiao Qing Xiaoyue, the personal maid who has been with Zhou Shu all year round.

But they knew that Zhou Shu seemed to have some knowledge of the inside story of this matter.

Now that she said this, it means that her mother, Concubine Rong, "died of madness", and there may be something behind it.

As for what it was, the two of them naturally understood it. Even if Zhou Shu knew it, he would not tell them.

"That……"

Seeing that Zhou Shu insisted on doing this, Xiaoyue said: "Princess, let's go with you."

"No, I can just go by myself."

"How can that be done?" Xiao Qing said anxiously, "Who will serve you if we are not here? There must be no maids or anything in the Bei'an army..."

Zhou Shu shook his head gently: "You have heard that someone in the army will lead people to serve him."

"But……"

Before the two of them could talk more, Su Yuan arrived.

"How are you preparing?"

"Everything is packed."

When Zhou Shu mentioned the burden, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue couldn't explain Zhou Shu, so they tried to explain to Su Yuan in a roundabout way.

Xiao Qing boldly asked: "Your Majesty, can we go with the princess?"

"you?"

Su Yuan knew that these two girls were Zhou Shu's maids. The maids wanted to follow them to the army? He must not agree.

No one in the army wanted to enjoy it, at least not in his army. If Zhou Shu went with him, in Su Yuan's eyes, he would only be regarded as a small staff member, and he would never treat him as a princess and arrange for anyone to serve him.

"Xiao Qing, don't you listen to me?" Zhou Shu frowned.

She was not usually very angry, but when she showed a little displeasure, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue were both frightened. When she asked her, they hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go when you are ready. The front line is tense and there is no room for delay."

"good."

Zhou Shu warned the two of them again before following Su Yuan out.

When she arrived outside the hospital, she found someone standing at the door.

As soon as she saw it, she was a little dazed and a little shocked by the appearance of the woman in front of her.

"This is my great master Zhen Miao, and this is Zhou Shu." Su Yuan introduced briefly.

Only then did Zhou Shu realize that the woman Yang Zhen told her lived in the east courtyard and did not allow others to disturb her was this woman named "Zhen Miao".

Although she had been in the palace for some time, today was the first time she saw Zhenmiao. This was also because Zhenmiao didn't go out very often, and even if she did, she would remain unaware.

But, Su Yuan actually called her "Master"?

Zhou Shu was wondering, how old is this woman...

Moreover, when Su Yuan came back from the Qingzhou front line this time, did he make a special trip to bring his great master there?

Zhou Shu thought of many things at once. When the two met for the first time, they briefly said hello and then came to the stables.

After Su Yuan got on his horse, he looked at Zhou Shu who looked troubled below and asked, "You don't know how to ride a horse?"

"……Won't."

Although Zhou Shu grew up in the royal family, archery, horseback riding, and archery were a "compulsory course" for princes. Since she didn't like sports very much, she didn't participate much, and she basically spent her time studying.

"..."

Time is tight to go to Qingzhou, and Su Yuan will not get Zhou Shu a carriage for her to take a leisurely ride there.

He was about to say that it was better to let her stay, but Zhenmiao suddenly said to Zhou Shu: "You and I can ride on the same horse."

Zhou Shu suddenly showed gratitude: "Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome."

Zhenmiao pulled Zhou Shu onto the horse she was riding, letting her sit in front while she held the reins behind.

Although Su Yuan felt a little strange, he didn't say anything and set off immediately.

Three people and two horses left Taiyuan from the palace, headed east along the official road, and soon arrived at Tianmen Pass.

I rested here for a while and drank some water.

Zhou Shu knew that the Battle of Tianmen Pass was a key battle. Li Shengtian sent by the imperial court was defeated by the Northern Army. Li Shengtian himself did not participate in the battle. This was undoubtedly a major blow to the Zhou imperial court.

It was precisely because Su Yuan's Bei'an army won this battle that they successfully defeated several cities in Qingzhou, forcing the imperial court to secretly summon the kings of Qin from various states and make a peace plan.

Zhou Shu raised his eyes and looked at the city wall. Some traces of blood and fire had not faded away. They all showed how brutal the previous battle was.

After a short rest, the three set off again.

This time, he hurried all the way to Guocheng. After a few hours, Zhou Shu felt extremely exhausted even though he was just sitting on the horse. He felt as if he was about to fall apart due to the bumps on the road.

But she managed not to cry out that she was tired, and went all the way to Guocheng Inn.

Zhou Shu grabbed the saddle and dismounted sideways. The moment his legs landed on the ground, his whole body went limp and he fell backwards.

Su Yuan was standing nearby. When he saw this, he quickly reached out to support her. He supported the girl's arms and shoulders, and the softness of the girl's body was transmitted through the summer shirt.

"Are you okay?"

Zhou Shu's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "I'm fine..."

"Let's take a rest and start our journey again tomorrow." Su Yuan said, letting go after seeing Zhou Shu stand firm. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Zhen Miao again, "Master Tai, can you please give her some money?"

Internal strength to relieve fatigue?"

This kind of fatigue will definitely not be relieved by sleeping. Su Yuan is worried that it will delay tomorrow's schedule. Secondly, he is also touched by Zhou Shu's strength. Thirdly, if she continues like this, she may fall ill before she reaches the front line because she can't bear the fatigue of the journey.

Already.

A royal princess who grew up well-dressed and well-fed, running around for hours without even saying she was tired, was enough to make him respect her.
