Shen Huan found it strange that they didn't seem to be in a hurry. They stopped to rest after arriving at a place, not at an inn, but at a private house. Moreover, the route they chose was not from the west border back to the north. Of course Shen Huan knew that if they went from there, There is a high chance that we will be discovered, but this road seems to be getting further and further away from the North Country.
When they arrived at a private house, Shen Wen told Xichen his questions. Xichen raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, saying: "The two northwest countries have a balanced strength. Long before the destruction of the southern country, these three countries all placed spies in each other's country. It seems that the Southern Kingdom has established connections in the Northern Kingdom a long time ago, even the imperial palace is no exception. The people Ye Cangqiong likes to arrange in the Northern and Southern Kingdoms are girls from brothels, so the last time I was in the Southern Kingdom, I rescued you from the brothel."
Shen Huan couldn't help but complain: No wonder Ye Cangqiong likes to keep brothel girls so much, not because of their beauty, but because they use this identity to hide their true identity - spies!
"And what I have arranged is this kind of place that looks like a private house, but the people who live here are not ordinary people. I have been in the West Country for so long just to find hidden piles along the way so that we can escape."
Shen Huan thought for a while and said, "You also arranged a place like this in the South Country, right?"
"Yes, but it can no longer be called the Southern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom has been classified as the Northern Kingdom." Xichen looked at her and said, "Their princess is my queen. From now on, the north and the south will be one family."
"Queen?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Huan's lips, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? This queen has been deposed by you a long time ago."
"If you depose you, you can stand up again!" Xichen looked into her eyes, "Huanhuan, I really had no choice but to depose you at that time. I didn't expect that I would miss you for so long. I will compensate you. I will compensate you." Give it to our kids, okay?"
Shen Huan frowned deeply, the child... yes, Zhao'er, he deserves the best treatment in the world!
After thinking for a moment, Shen Huan suddenly said: "I understand, your route this time is to take the waterway! Return to the south of the Yangtze River first, and then return to the north from the south of the Yangtze River."
Xichen nodded and said: "Yes, although this is a big detour, it is safe." He took Shen Huan into his arms and said softly: "How dare I bet on your child's life? Everything must be based on you. It’s all about safety! Although it takes a little longer on the road, we don’t take risks.”
Shen Wen said: "A smart person like Ye Cangqiong may not have thought of it... not to mention that there are actually not ordinary people in the village. If Ye Cangqiong asked, he would also guess that you took me away."
Xichen said lightly: "They are indeed not ordinary people, because they are all dead."
Shen Huan was startled, looked up at him and said, "Did you kill them?"
Xichen said: "They must die, otherwise, we won't be able to leave so smoothly."
Shen Huan looked at him and said nothing for a long time. In the past, she would have done this without Xichen saying it, but now...she lowered her head, feeling a little unbearable.
"What's wrong?" Xichen asked
Shen Huan shook his head and said sadly: "I just feel that it is not good to kill so many people. I have already sinned a lot... I want to accumulate some blessings for my children."
Xichen was stunned and comforted: "When we return to the North, we will invite the eminent monks from Yuhua Temple to go to the palace to pray. If there is any disaster, it will befall me. I will not let anything happen to you mother and son."
Shen Huan hugged him and murmured: "I don't want you to bear it, let me bear it alone. I just want my child to be okay, I want him to grow up in peace, and I want him to get the best and most precious thing in the world." Everything!" She closed her eyes. For her Zhao'er, she was not afraid of any disaster.
This matter was not mentioned again, and they would not stay in one place for too long. Because they took a good route, they wore very ordinary makeup and walked all the way to the river without any pursuers. They boarded an extremely ordinary wooden boat and sailed around smoothly. Arrive at the Southern Kingdom. Now that the Southern Kingdom has troops stationed in the Northern Kingdom, everything is no longer so dangerous and becomes smoother.
After taking a short rest in the South Country, Qingyue couldn't get used to the boat and was ill all the way. She asked an imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse at the South Country Palace. She also asked a trustworthy wet nurse to replenish some supplies and ordered people to prepare a large ship and a convoy team.
When the palace was attacked, some palaces were burned down, but fortunately some were preserved. Xichen ordered people to repair it. Shen Huan went to the Zichen Palace, which was still well preserved. It was no different from when she left, except that there was more dust and dust. Fortunately, Spider Web found her Wang Fengjian and decided to return to the North with Wang Fengjian.
Xichen saw that she was still nostalgic for this place, so he smiled and said: "I have ordered people to repair it and make this place the same as before. If you get tired of living in the Northern Palace in the future, come back and live here for a while. That’s fine”
Shen Huan smiled faintly, as if remembering something without comment, and asked seriously: "I heard that the Western Kingdom has taken the initiative to start a war?"
"Yes," Xichen replied, but he didn't look very enthusiastic, as if he was fighting against two other countries and had nothing to do with him.
"Then why are you still like this? Ye Cangqiong has already captured the four continents. If you take advantage of the favorable terrain of the four continents, it will be dangerous to go further north!"
Seeing Shen Huan's anxious look, Xichen held her shoulders and smiled: "You don't have to be so anxious. Does Ye Cangqiong think that he has the ability to take over my entire northern country after taking over the four continents? Don't forget, Now this place is also under my control!"
Shen Huan is so smart. When he said this, he understood that the cavalry of the Southern Kingdom was not strong, but the navy was mighty. If the Southern Navy were used to attack the Western Kingdom from the rear at this time, then the Western Kingdom would be attacked from both sides! I came from the dock yesterday and saw that There are so many warships, Chu Xichen must have put a lot of effort into rearranging them during his time in the Western Kingdom!
He had already planned to conquer the Southern Kingdom that day!
A burst of sadness suddenly surged in his heart, and he said coldly: "I thought you attacked the south for me, but it's still for your grand ambitions!"
Chu Xichen was stunned and said softly: "Huanheng, think about it in another way, my grand ambitions are not inconsistent with yours! With you, I have a country, a country, and you."
Shen Wen smiled bitterly, took away his hand, turned around and went out, found Zhao'er who was sleeping soundly, gently touched the child's tender cheek, and sighed quietly: Zhao'er, my mother has been making you suffer these days, but my mother promises you. , my mother will definitely give you the best in the world, let those big men fight and snatch it! Who will win is really unknown!
This world belongs to our Xiao family! Apart from my mother, only you can open this Wangfeng Sword. When you grow up, I will definitely hand it to you personally so that you can fight for the title with the sword!
(ps: It’s boring to write about the weak Hanhan for so long. For the sake of the children, be strong! Oh yeah~)
