Luo Junyao was also very surprised when she followed Bai Jingrong and others to evacuate from the secret passage behind the main hall. She also did not expect that there was a secret passage hidden behind the main hall.
However, this place is guarded all year round. It is an important place in the palace, so it is not easy to come in and investigate.
Who would have thought that King Qi would not build a secret passage in his permanent palace, but in a place that would only be used a few times a year?
Luo Junyao followed the crowd silently, keeping himself in a state where he would neither be noticed nor left behind.
Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong walked in the front, followed by Bai Jingrong were several unknown masters and Qu Fang.
Ji Zhan was also accompanied by several guards and Ji Rong, and behind him were the Qi nobles who were trapped in the hall.
The group of people walked forward quickly, no one spoke a word, and the atmosphere in the tunnel was very silent and depressing.
After walking in the tunnel for unknown lengths of time, Luo Junyao could only tell that they were heading northeast of the royal city.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt somewhat confident.
The most elite soldiers and horses of the Qi people are stationed at the northeast corner of the royal city. If this tunnel leads directly to the military camp, it can indeed ensure the safety of everyone.
But... could Ji Zhan lose the entire palace so easily?
Now the situation in the entire Qi Clan's royal city has become that Xie Yan and King Chaqin led troops to occupy the palace, but Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong, the masters of the palace, are outside?
Before Luo Junyao could figure out the situation in front of him, the exit of the secret passage had already arrived.
It was already dark at this time, but the outside of the secret passage was as bright as day.
Luo Junyao followed the crowd out of the secret passage and saw the solemn and solemn atmosphere in front of him.
The entire military camp was brightly lit, and the surrounding lookout corners were filled with soldiers holding longbows on guard.
Countless Qi soldiers all around were fully armed and busy running back and forth. Even if a group of them suddenly appeared, they didn't attract much attention.
A tall and burly general greeted the group respectfully, and Bai Jingrong, Ji Zhan and several important Qi nobles were invited into the big tent.
Luo Junyao was just a maid, so she couldn't follow him in, so she had to stay outside.
Now that the situation is sensitive, as a person with "half Central Plains blood", she is naturally not welcome in this army, which is all elites of the Qi people. Sensing the gazes from around, Luo Jun calmly retreated to a place where he could not attract attention.
A place where people pay attention.
"Don't be afraid." Bai Ning's voice came from the side.
Luo Jun shook his head and looked at her. After a night, Bai Ning's face was full of embarrassment and fatigue.
"Sister Bai Ning." Luo Junyao whispered, "Are you scared?"
The smile on Bai Ning's face was a little bitter, and he said softly: "What's the use of being afraid? As long as the empress is here, nothing will happen."
In fact, they all rely on Bai Jingrong to live. If Bai Jingrong is gone, their life in the Qi tribe will never be easy.
It is precisely because of this that so many people can't wait to find a more stable backer for themselves. Although the fight between Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan, mother and son, is due to their own reasons, I am afraid these people are also indispensable.
Encourage.
Luo Jun shook his head, looked around and whispered: "Sister Bai Ning, where is this place? Those people... don't seem to like us."
Bai Ning patted her arm gently but said nothing more.
There were seven or eight people sitting in the big tent on the other side.
Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan were sitting on the main seats in front, and below them were the generals and several Qi noble generals who welcomed them in.
Qu Fang stood not far from Bai Jingrong, looking at the people in front of him with a calm expression.
At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little solemn.
"Your Majesty, General Ji Xu has ordered soldiers from all over the royal city to enter the palace to serve the king. Now the traitors are trapped in the palace." Having said this, the general couldn't help but glance at Bai Jingrong.
After all, we all know that the traitors who suddenly rebelled tonight are the Queen Mother's people.
It is actually a very strange thing for these Central Plains people to suddenly rebel.
Without reinforcements or food, these people will undoubtedly die over time. They did not rebel when the Qi tribe retreated westward, so why did they wait until now to rebel?
Bai Jingrong's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to notice the suspicious look in her eyes at all.
"What happened to the trumpet sound outside earlier?" Bai Jingrong asked.
Bai Jingrong was still the Queen Mother after all, so even if someone was dissatisfied, she would not dare not answer.
"To report to the Queen Mother, we have just received news that a troop of troops is approaching the Royal City. The leading troops have already joined the garrison more than ten miles away from the Royal City. The bugle sound just now was from the garrison stationed outside.
The signal for help was sent back." The general bowed and said: "Please make a decision early and send troops to help."
Ji Zhan's face was a bit ugly, and he said coldly: "There are thousands of miles of yellow sand near the royal city. How come there is a large army approaching here? We still don't know? Which party are they from?"
Ji Zhan did not consider the Dasheng Dynasty in the Central Plains. The Qi people and Dasheng had been fighting each other for many years, so they naturally knew each other very well.
The Dasheng Army is indeed powerful in fighting, but they also have inherent shortcomings.
It is difficult for people and horses from the Central Plains to adapt to the climate and environment of the desert. In the early years, the place where the two armies fought was not far from the Dasheng border, and it was still acceptable.
But now the royal city of the Qi people goes deep into the desert, with thousands of miles of yellow sand stretching as far as the eye can see.
It is simply impossible for Dasheng's soldiers and horses to chase him all the way across the desert to the royal city.
The general hesitated for a moment and then said: "The news coming back from the front seems that most of those soldiers and horses are from the Western Regions."
"People from the Western Regions?" There was an uproar in the big tent. The Western Regions are full of small countries, but they dare to send troops to the Qi people?
You must know that after Rouran, which was still a big country in the Western Region, was destroyed overnight, the small countries in the Western Region became honest.
They pay tribute every year without any neglect, but now these people dare to secretly send troops to the Qi people. Is this because they saw that the Qi people were defeated by Dasheng, and thought that their strength was weakened, so they wanted to rebel?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing the news, everyone was filled with anger.
Several generals stood up together and expressed their willingness to lead troops to annihilate those Westerners who did not know the heights of the sky.
This is also understandable. Even though the Qi people are no longer as powerful as before, they cannot stand the disrespect of people who were once regarded as ants.
Ji Zhan thought for a moment and ordered three generals to lead the troops together to support him.
The most important thing for them now is how to eliminate the rebellion in the royal city.
Ji Zhan wasn't too worried that the tens of thousands of Bai Jiajun couldn't achieve success.
What really upset him was that something like this happened when a large tribe from the surrounding area came to pay tribute, which completely destroyed the majesty of the Qi people and him as the Qi King.
Thinking of this, Ji Zhan also remembered another thing, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately take the envoys from various countries in the Western Regions into custody. No one is allowed to escape without my permission."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The sky was already slightly bright when Luo Junyao followed Bai Ning into the tent where Bai Jingrong was resting. Bai Jingrong was still sitting in the tent, lowering her head and thinking about something. When the two came in, she didn't raise her head to look at them.
Luo Jun looked at Bai Jingrong without any trace, and saw that she was a bit tired between her brows, and there was also a faint green shadow under her eyelids, obviously she had not slept all night.
"Your Majesty." Luo Junyao knelt down beside Bai Jingrong and called softly.
Bai Jingrong then raised his head and glanced at her, and said calmly: "Are you here too? Nothing happened, right?"
"No." Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I was with Sister Bai Ning last night. Your Majesty looks a little tired. Why don't you take a rest first?"
Bai Jingrong sighed softly and said, "How can I sleep after such a big thing happened?"
Luo Jun pretended to be at a loss and said: "This... this is not your fault, slave..." It seemed that she didn't know how to comfort the person in front of her, and she lowered her head in frustration.
"Well, it's useless to think about it now. Chu Chu, when you were at Wu Ye's house, did you find anything wrong with him?" Bai Jingrong asked.
Luo Junyao said sadly: "No, no, General Wu Ye won't let this slave go out. This slave..."
Bai Jingrong naturally knew what was going on at Wu Ye's house, so he just asked casually at this time.
It was so weird that Wu Ye and Wu Jun killed Subuka at the same time. Bai Jingrong naturally thought that Wu Ye might have betrayed her. But Wu Ye was already dead, and she couldn't figure out what happened for a while.
Clear.
Thinking of this, Bai Jingrong once again thought of what he had been doubting since last night.
Play the song...
Qu Fang killed Wu Ye, but spared Wu Jun.
Bai Jingrong didn't believe it if he said he didn't mean it.
"Did you see Ah Fang when you came in just now? What was he doing?" Bai Jingrong asked.
Luo Junyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "That Mr. Qu is standing outside the queen's tent. I don't know what he is doing. He just stands there and looks up at the sky, as if he has done nothing."
"Do you have anything to say to Mr. Qu? May I invite him in?" Luo Junyao asked.
Bai Jingrong shook his head and said: "That's all, you go tell him later and let him rest. This army is safe and sound, and I have experts protecting me, so there is no need for him to keep guard."
Luo Junyao responded obediently.
On the other side, Bai Ning has already placed a sumptuous breakfast on the table.
Bai Ning was very meticulous in his work. After setting the table, he even tried the poison himself before inviting Bai Jingrong to have a meal.
Luo Junyao helped Bai Jingrong get up and walked over. After Bai Jingrong sat down, he waved to her and said, "You can go too. After breakfast, someone will find a place for you to rest for a while. Bai Ning is enough here."
"Yes, empress." Luo Junyao knew that Bai Jingrong had something to tell Bai Ning, and didn't want to let herself listen. She didn't hesitate, and simply leaned over and excused herself.
After leaving the tent, Qu Fang was still standing not far away.
Luo Junyao strolled over and said, "Mr. Qu."
Qu Fang looked down at the girl in front of him who was much shorter than him and said nothing.
Luo Junyao still had a simple smile on her face, but the words she said had nothing to do with the expression on her face at this time.
"She is doubting you, be careful." Luo Jun whispered.
Qu Fang's eyes moved slightly, and Luo Junyao continued: "Wu Ye and Wu Jun."
If Qu Fang had killed both Wu Ye and Wu Jun, Bai Jingrong might not have thought too much about it. But he only killed Wu Ye but let Wu Jun go, so it's no wonder that Bai Jingrong would have thought too much about it.
"I know." Qu Fang said.
Luo Jun said: "Be careful."
Bai Jingrong is not a person who misses old friendships. Once she knows that Qu Fang has betrayed her, she will never show mercy. Although Qu Fang is very powerful and has few opponents, when facing Bai Jingrong, Luo Junyao always felt that he had little chance of winning.
After leaving these two words behind, Luo Junyao turned around and left without staying any longer.
Qu Fang watched her leave, and after a while he slowly returned his gaze to Bai Jingrong's tent. The expression in his eyes was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Luo Junyao was not able to find a place to rest as she wished, although she was indeed a little tired.
Looking at Ji Rong appearing in front of him, Luo Junyao sighed secretly in his heart. Looking at Ji Rong's leisurely look, no one believed him if he said he didn't wait here on purpose.
"Prince Ji Rong." Luo Junyao said respectfully.
Ji Rong looked at her and said, "Miss Chu Chu."
The two stood on the side of the road, and neither of them spoke for a while.
After a while, when even the people passing by couldn't help turning their heads to look at them again and again, Luo Junyao said, "Prince Ji Rong, do you have any orders?"
"No." Ji Rong said lightly, "I'm just a little worried seeing Miss Chu Chu walking alone in the military camp."
"Worry?"
Ji Rong chuckled lightly and said: "Miss Chu Chu is a smart person. Haven't you noticed the atmosphere in the army now? The Central Plains people are rebelling. Miss Chu Chu is also half of the Central Plains blood, right?"
Luo Junyao said warily: "So what? Aren't you and the king the same?"
Ji Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you think this is the same?"
Of course it's different. One of them is the King of Qi and the other is a prince. They are both of the royal family of the Qi clan. But now she is just an ordinary little girl who is inconspicuous.
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Luo Jun said.
Ji Rong said: "This is not the place to talk. Why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Luo Junyao looked around and followed Ji Rong.
Ji Rong was obviously no stranger to this military camp. He led Luo Junyao to a secluded place behind the military camp in a short while. Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother is in a bad mood right now. Come to me at this time."
, aren’t you afraid that she will be unhappy?”
Bai Jingrong is very sensitive, and anyone who deliberately approaches people around her will arouse her vigilance.
Ji Rong smiled lightly and said: "So what if she is unhappy? Chu Chu, do you think after this incident, she will be able to compete with Ji Zhan again?"
Maybe it really can't be done.
The betrayal of the Bai family army had an immeasurable impact on Bai Jingrong.
The Qi people are wary of the Central Plains people. No matter what happens in the future, if Bai Jingrong wants to take power, the Qi people will do their best to stop it.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that the Qi people will no longer have any power in the future.
"I'm not interested in these." Luo Junyao said, "Prince Ji Rong, why don't you just tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Ji Rong smiled and said: "Do you want to leave the Qi Clan Royal Court and go to the Central Plains?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
Ji Rong did not answer, but said: "I can help you, as long as you do one thing for me."
