Following Ji Rong to Bai Jingrong's bedroom, Luo Junyao stopped and said, "Your Highness Ji Rong, please come."
Ji Rong didn't say anything more and stepped into the palace.
Luo Junyao stood guard at the entrance of the palace, looking a little bored. Not long after, someone outside sent word that the king was coming.
Before the maids and guards in the palace could greet him, Ji Zhan had already walked in quickly from outside.
"I have met the king."
Ji Zhan ignored everyone and strode toward the main door of the dormitory.
Luo Junyao hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and His Highness Ji Rong are talking inside."
Ji Zhan glanced at her and said coldly: "What? I can't go in."
"Please allow me to report this."
Ji Zhan snorted coldly and said: "Get out of the way."
Luo Junyao was still hesitating when he heard Bai Jingrong's voice coming from inside, "Chu Chu, let him come in."
Hearing this, Luo Junyao decisively stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Ji Zhan sneered and walked towards the bedroom with his sleeves fluffed.
A quarter of an hour later, the two brothers walked out one after the other. Neither of them looked very good-looking.
Ji Zhan stood still at the door of the palace, glanced at Luo Junyao coldly, and said, "It seems that A Rong and Miss Chu Chu have a good relationship?"
Ji Rong said quickly: "Brother Wang is joking. Miss Chu Chu was just here to announce my younger brother on the order of her mother."
"Yes, I am wrong. It is the Queen Mother who values Ah Rong more." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Miss Chu Chu is just loyal."
Luo Junyao cursed mentally insane and watched Ji Zhan and Ji Rong leave.
It's now this time, is Ji Zhan still worried about Ji Rong?
But it's no wonder that with a mother like Bai Jingrong, even if Ji Zhan is not afraid of his biological brother, he still has to guard against Bai Jingrong pulling Ji Rong into trouble.
Bai Ning came out, looked at the two people's backs and asked in a low voice: "The king didn't say anything, did he?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "No, it's just that the king seems a little angry. I went to find His Highness Ji Rong."
Bai Ning sighed helplessly and said, "You have been wronged, don't take it to heart."
"Your Majesty is your Majesty, how can I take such a trivial matter to my heart? It's just..." Luo Junyao looked worried and whispered: "Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the Qi people. Now is the time for everyone to work together.
Why are the King and His Highness Ji Rong still like this?"
"That's true. It's just that some things are easier said than done." Bai Ning said, and comforted: "Don't worry, both the people from Dongyin and the troops from the Western Regions and Dasheng came all the way, so they must not be able to do it."
It will take a long time. When our reinforcements from the Qi tribe arrive, they will have to retreat if they don’t want to."
Luo Junyao nodded, "It's useless for us to worry about these things. I believe the empress and the king will definitely solve them."
Bai Ning rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Okay, remember to go and deliver food to the gentleman in the side hall later, but don't talk to him, otherwise the empress will be angry if she finds out."
Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
Twenty miles away from the royal court of the Qi people, there is the camp of the Western Region Allied Forces.
Xie Yan was sitting in the big tent, flipping through the secret message he had just received.
"Bai Jingrong wants to mobilize troops from Rouran?" Xie Yan said calmly.
The man in gray clothes standing in front of him said respectfully: "Yes, the princess said that Bai Jingrong seems to have some trump cards. In addition...Mr. Qu has been controlled by Bai Jingrong and has no internal strength."
Xie Yan thought for a moment and then ordered: "Let Qu Tiange and Leng Shuang come to see me."
"Your Majesty, Commander Qu went out yesterday and has not come back yet." The man in gray clothes reported.
"Then let Leng Shuang and Xiying come over first." Xie Yan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Leng Shuang and Xiying walked into the tent one after another.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Xie Yan signaled the two of them to stand up and handed over the letter in his hand. Xiying took it and read it before passing it to Leng Shuang. He raised his head and said to Xie Yan: "Your Majesty, the tribes around the Qi people have been oppressed by the Qi people all year round.
You are willing to send troops with us, but you are not willing to help the Qi people at this time?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it just depends on whether the Qi tribe can afford the price. Although the Qi tribe is weak now, it is still a centipede insect that can die without stiffness."
After all, the Qi tribe dominated the entire Western Region back then. Their sudden siege of the Qi tribe's royal city this time was considered a trick. The most important thing was to fight quickly and kill the strong men of the Qi tribe as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, once the Qi people catch their breath, they may not be able to hold on.
Although it is not one of his own who is fighting for his life, Xie Yan does not intend to squander the troops and horses from various countries in the Western Regions. After all, Da Sheng will return the Western Regions to his heart in the future.
"What's going on with Rouran now?" Xie Yan asked.
This question was obviously meant for Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang said in a deep voice: "Back then, the Rouran royal family was exterminated, and the tribe was divided into two. One of them had secretly defected to Bai Jingrong, and there were about 70,000 to 80,000 people. They now live in Rouran's former homeland. Perhaps this is
This is one of Bai Jingrong’s confidence.”
Xie Yan said: "The land of the Rouran clan doesn't seem too far away from this?"
Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Hurry up and we'll be there in two days."
"Are you confident in conquering the remaining Rouran troops?" Xie Yan asked.
Leng Shuang's expression was as usual, except for a strange light flashing in her eyes. She cupped her hands and said, "I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations."
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Okay, all the forces that Secret Word Camp has set up in the Western Region over the years have entered the desert, and they are all at your disposal. I will order Xiying to bring two thousand elites with you. I have only one request. I don't want to
I saw a Rouran man appearing within a fifty-mile radius of the Qi Clan’s royal city.”
A happy look flashed across Leng Shuang's face, "I would like to thank you, Prince."
"My subordinates take orders." Xiying also responded.
Xie Yan said: "Go ahead. In addition, I have already sent an order to Yan Rong. He will also go to help when the time comes. Maybe he will reach Rouran's hometown one step earlier than you."
Yan Rong is the commander of the secret camp. He has been stationed in the north for a long time and commands the entire secret camp. He is also Leng Shuang's boss.
"Yes, I am resigning."
Just as Leng Shuang and Xi Ying exited, the guard outside came to report, "Prince Qi, Commander Qu is back."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let him in."
"yes."
"What does Bai Jingrong want you to do?" Qu Tiange walked in, and Xie Yan asked directly without beating around the bush.
Qu Tiange was not surprised and said in a deep voice: "She wants me to kill the princess."
Qu Tiange instantly felt murderous aura burst out from Xie Yan's body.
After a long time, Xie Yancai sneered and said, "She is still as ambitious as before and is still addicted to daydreaming."
Qu Tiange did not answer, but in his heart he agreed with Xie Yan's words.
From a long time ago, he believed that Bai Jingrong's so-called ambitions were all daydreams.
He didn't look down on Bai Jingrong because she was a woman, but what she did and the direction she chose were not enough for him to regard her as a truly ambitious woman.
She just wanted the power to control the wind and rain, but she didn't really think about what she wanted this power to do.
It's a pity that Master can never look away.
Xie Yan handed him a letter and said, "This is the letter sent by Yao Yao. Please read it."
Qu Tiange took it and opened it, looked up at Xie Yan with some surprise, and said, "The prince is not worried about the princess's safety?"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "How can I not worry? But Yao Yao's idea is not wrong. How can I reject her idea blindly?"
If possible, he would like to keep him behind him forever and not let her endure the slightest bit of wind and rain.
But although Yao Yao is a bit squeamish, she is not a real canary. Overprotection will only damage her vitality.
"What do you think?" Xie Yan asked again.
Qu Tiange said seriously: "Very good, thank you Prince and Princess."
The Princess Regent's plan took Master's safety into consideration, or it should be said that it was designed just for Master's safety. Qu Tiange was naturally grateful.
Xie Yan looked at him and then said slowly after a moment: "Thank you, no need. I just hope that Qu Fang will not disappoint Yao Yao. Otherwise... I'm afraid someone will be sad."
Qu Tiange's expression moved slightly and he nodded silently.
In the following days, the fighting outside the royal court of the Qi tribe became more and more intense. After the Qi tribe soldiers and horses survived a wave of attacks, they finally regained some of their original powerful combat power that dominated the Western Regions.
The Western Region Allied Forces were originally composed of small countries, a mixed bag of good and bad. Coupled with the long-standing fear of the Qi people, it would be difficult to occupy the top when they actually fight face to face.
On the other hand, the Dongyin people are very tough and tough, and they often fight with the Qi people in indistinguishable ways.
As a result, the war gradually became somewhat stalemate.
The tense atmosphere in the Qi royal palace did not ease. In order to win over the Qi nobles and nearby tribes, Ji Zhan promised to marry a Khotan princess and a Qi royal noblewoman as his queen at the same time after the siege of the royal city was lifted.
.
The Qi people do not have the custom of not marrying if they have the same surname in the Central Plains. Although this noble girl comes from the royal family, she is already a branch of the Qi King's lineage.
But even so, everyone can see clearly that the royal family members of the Qi tribe are not too worried about King Qi. They intend to use the royal noblewoman to control him as the queen, control the future King Qi, and compete with the Queen Mother Bai Jingrong.
In the Queen Mother's Palace
After Bai Jingrong listened to his subordinates' report, he waved his hand and asked people to leave.
There was silence in the main hall, and the maids lowered their hands and didn't dare to take another look, let alone say a word.
After a long time, Bai Jingrong's laughter broke the silence in the hall.
"He's not very capable, but he will cause trouble for himself. Is he afraid that he won't die quickly enough?"
Everyone was silent, even Bai Ning didn't dare to answer.
Bai Jingrong looked to one side and said, "Qu Tiange hasn't come yet?"
"Back to your Majesty, no." Bai Ning breathed a sigh of relief and replied quickly.
"Today is the third day." Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "A Fang, it seems that your apprentice is not that filial."
Qu Fang walked out of the room calmly. There was nothing unusual about him, but his face was pale and his steps were sloppy and he looked a little weak.
Qu sat down next to her and said calmly: "He is already more filial than hundreds of others' disciples. As a master, I am stupid and I can't let him be blamed for the rest of his life."
The smile on Bai Jingrong's face froze and she said coldly: "What did you tell him? Who helped you?"
Qu Fang raised his eyes, "You don't know if I've seen him before?"
"I just told him before I came back. No matter what happens to me, he doesn't have to pay attention." Qu Fang said: "If he does something he shouldn't do because of me, as a master, I will still be alive."
It’s better to die.”
Bai Jingrong said angrily: "What do you mean you shouldn't do something?"
Qu Fang said: "No matter what you want him to do, whether he succeeds or not, he has no way to survive." At this point, Qu Fang's eyes also gained a touch of anger.
"He has done a lot for you in those years. Do you really refuse to give him a way to survive?"
There was no trace of guilt or guilt on Bai Jingrong's face, but she was even more angry.
"After all, you just decided that I would lose!"
Qu Fang took a deep breath, simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qu is here." When the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, an attendant's voice sounded from the door.
Bai Jingrong's originally gloomy face suddenly brightened up. She chuckled, very happy, "A Fang, it seems that I won this time."
Qu Fang still closed his eyes and ignored her.
"Let him in."
Qu Tiange came in empty-handed.
Dressed in black, one man and one sword, all alone.
Bai Jingrong's expression changed instantly, "Qu Tiange, it seems you don't want your master's life anymore."
Before she finished speaking, a figure had already landed behind Qu Fang.
The man just stood quietly, but Qu Tiange knew that if he grabbed it forcefully, the man would definitely kill Qu Fang before he succeeded.
Qu Tiange said calmly: "I can't do what you ask for."
Bai Jingrong sneered: "Just kill a little girl, you can't do it?"
Qu Tiange said: "She went to Xitian. Luo Junyao himself is not weak. Following her are Xie Yan's bodyguards, Poison Immortal Qin Yao'er, and the commander of Dasheng Secret Camp Yan Rong. You want
How do I kill?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Qu Tiange has never met Yan Rong, Yan Rong is still his superior officer, and Bai Jingrong is no stranger to this name.
Bai Jingrong was startled when he heard this, but did not pay attention to who was around Luo Junyao.
"She went to Khotan?"
Qu Tiange said: "She left for Xituan two days ago. I was tripped by Xie Yan, so I freed my hands to chase after her. I chased for a whole day without seeing anyone, and I was almost suspected by Xie Yan. According to their
We should arrive in Khotan by this time tomorrow."
Bai Jingrong's eyes were slightly lowered, and there were dark clouds between her eyebrows.
"Xie Yan asked Luo Jun to take that little girl to Xitian? What does he want to do?"
Qu Tiange said calmly: "She is no longer a little girl. She is the regent of Dasheng and Luo Yun's direct daughter. Not long ago, she helped the Southern Xinjiang Xuan Comfort Envoy put down the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang."
Bai Jingrong said: "You mean, she went to conquer Xitian on behalf of Xie Yan?"
Qu Tiange lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know."
The hall fell silent again. Bai Jingrong sat on the main seat without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking.
Qu Tiange was not in a hurry and stood quietly in the hall waiting for her to have an attack. He knew that Bai Jingrong would never let it go.
Sure enough, after a while, Bai Jingrong raised his head again, stared at Qu Tiange and said, "I assume you had a reason for this, but you didn't complete what you promised me. How should I handle this?"
Qu Tiange said: "You say."
Bai Jingrong said coldly: "Kill King Chaqin."
Qu Tiange seemed a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at Bai Jingrong, "I thought you would let me continue to hunt Luo Junyao."
Bai Jingrong sneered, "If you leave Xie Yan now to hunt down Luo Junyao, how many days can you deceive Xie Yan?"
"Not even for one day." Qu Tiange said calmly: "Since arriving in the Qi Clan's royal city, Xie Yan has summoned me every day."
Bai Jingrong said warmly: "It's not surprising. How can someone like Xie Yan really trust you? So I won't embarrass you. I will kill King Chaqin and let Qu Fang go."
"good."
"How many days will it take?" Bai Jingrong asked with a smile.
Qu Tiange said: "Five days."
Bai Jingrong nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, it's a deal. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."
After saying that, Bai Jingrong stood up and walked out, and said leisurely, "You master and apprentice must have not seen each other for a while, let's catch up on old times. Tiange, you know my methods, it's best not to try to do anything to mess with me.
Angry things.”
Qu Tiange ignored her and just glanced at the people standing in the hall.
Bai Ning waved his hand and led a group of maids to retreat behind Bai Jingrong, leaving only the man in gray standing silently behind Qu Fang like a stone pillar.
"Tiange..." Qufang looked at Qu Tiange with a complicated expression, his eyes full of guilt.
Qu Tiange said: "Master, don't worry."
Qu Fang sighed softly and said: "Don't force yourself, you... don't worry."
Qu Tiange looked at him, "You still can't let go?"
Qu Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can't be let go? Don't worry, I know it well."
Qu Tiange suddenly said: "If I can escape smoothly this time, I plan to start a family."
Qu Fang was startled, and said with some joy: "You have reached the age where you should start a family." If it weren't for his wasted time, this apprentice would have started a family long ago.
