"The emperor really thinks highly of me." Lu Zhiyao said coldly. He destroyed the granary and protected the queen. He actually just wanted to see her embarrassed, right?
The emperor's order cannot be violated, and with Lu Zhiyao's special status, she can't say anything.
On the way to the study to talk, Lu Zhiyao saw the dungeon here. Slowing down, she asked Xuanyuan Junfan, "Who are the people locked up here?"
"Want to meet?" Xuanyuan Junfan acted generously, "I can let you go in and have a look."
Anyway, this place is already her territory, and there are some people that she has to meet again.
After Xuanyuan Junfan finished speaking, he ordered his people to take the three people away first, and then accompanied Lu Zhiyao to the dungeon. He stopped when he reached the entrance of the dungeon.
"I'll wait for you here."
Lu Zhiyao felt that his behavior was a bit strange, but he didn't ask any questions and walked directly in. The structure of the dungeon was the same as Lu Zhiyao knew, but there was only one prisoner detained here.
Lin Yichen and Lu Zhiyao never expected that they would meet the former prince again in a place like this.
Although he was a prisoner, Lin Yichen was still relatively respectable. It could be seen that the Xuanyuan family did not give him any trouble. His clothes were clean, his hands and feet were not shackles, and there were no visible injuries except for
With no way out of this prison, his life should be better than Lu Zhiyao's.
Lin Yichen stood up when he heard the footsteps and looked over, but it was not Xuanyuan Junfan he thought. He frowned slightly in confusion. He looked at the stranger in front of him and asked slowly: "Who are you?"
Lu Zhiyao raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face. After Lin Yichen saw her appearance clearly, his face was a little confused, but after a while, he recognized who the woman in front of him was!
"Lu Zhiyao? Why are you here!" Lin Yichen asked in shock.
"You can be here, why can't I." Lu Zhiyao leaned on the cell door at the back and looked at Lin Yichen, "I thought the prince had died, but it turns out that he is just living here."
Lin Yichen didn't show any anger when he heard Lu Zhiyao's ridicule. He kept thinking in his mind, why did Lu Zhiyao appear here?
We haven't seen each other for four years, and this woman looks changed a lot. She is thinner and more beautiful than before. She is wearing a simple white robe, which not only does not make people feel tacky, but also brings out a bit of dustiness.
, especially in this damp and dark dungeon. And the familiar facial features, when I look at them again, are very different from those four years ago, more amazing, but there is no doubt that he is still the same person.
.
Isn't this woman Lin Yinan very precious? How could she be allowed to come to Qingming Country? Could it be that... Lin Yinan is here too?!
Lin Yichen thought of this and began to move his eyes towards the exit. Seeing his look, Lu Zhiyao knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Don't look, there is no one else. I came here with Xuanyuan Junfan."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Lin Yichen even more puzzled. How could the two of them get together?
"Now that I know who is here, I don't need to stay here anymore." Lu Zhiyao stood up straight, put on his mask again, took two steps forward and approached Lin Yichen, and said quietly: "Let's get to know each other again,
Lu Zhiyao, the new owner of this place, from now on... you will live under my nose."
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Lin Yichen there who was confused and couldn't figure out what happened. Could it be that Lu Zhiyao betrayed Lin Yinan and defected to the Qingming Kingdom?
? Is this possible?
Lu Zhiyao walked out of the dungeon and breathed in the fresh air outside.
Xuanyuan Junfan saw her coming out and asked, "Have you seen anyone?"
"I saw it. Your Majesty is really obsessed with keeping him so close to you."
"In your opinion, where should he go?" Xuanyuan Junfan asked casually.
hell.
Why should that kind of person still stay in this world?
Lu Zhiyao didn't answer him out loud, but in his heart, he had already given the answer.
Why Qingming Kingdom rescued Lin Yichen and raised him until now? The answer can be found after just thinking about it. After getting rid of Lin Yinan, he pushed Lin Yichen out and revealed Lin Yinan's secret plan to assassinate the prince.
Let Lin Yichen ascend the throne openly and openly and become the puppet of Qingming Kingdom. This abacus cannot be summed up in one word. However, Lu Zhiyao was also a little surprised. Lin Yichen, who was so arrogant and arrogant back then, could actually
He can withstand such humiliation. It seems that what happened in Xia Lai Kingdom really hit him hard. As long as he can make a comeback, he will accept whatever it takes.
When they arrived at the study, Lu Zhiyao saw a book on the table and flipped through two pages. It was the book she gave to Xuanyuan Junfan in Xia Lai Kingdom.
"I looked at it carefully, and I really learned a lot. How about taking some time to write more books?" Xuanyuan Junfan said to Lu Zhiyao with something in mind. At the same time, he sat on the chair and took the
Look through that book.
"As long as the remuneration given by the prince is satisfactory, it is not a problem to write a few books." Lu Zhiyao replied coldly, then spread the map on the table, clicked on a certain place on it, and said: "This is our place.
The destination of this mission. The emperor only gave us three days, of which it will take nearly one day to sneak in and escape, so it is very urgent. After arriving at the destination, the prince and I will first go to the granary to investigate
According to the route, the start time is set at Yin time in the evening."
"Why Yinshi?" Xuanyuan Junfan asked.
"At this time, the tiger that stalks the day and night is the most ferocious. Haven't you heard of it?" Lu Zhiyao did not look at Xuanyuan Junfan. She continued to talk about her plan. She pointed at the two selected men and said
: "What you two really want to do is to give us a warning. Once you find out that the enemy has foreign aid and is trying to surround us and block us inside, immediately send out a signal and protect your own safety. Those people from Xia Lai Country are not easy to deal with.
Yes, if you underestimate the enemy, I cannot guarantee that you will come back alive."
"What about me?" Shen Xing's heart was beating wildly. Although he had been here for so long, he had never carried out a mission. The first time was with Zhiyao. Of course he was happy, but he didn't know
What can I do to help her?
"You are with me, Shen Xing. How many meters can you guarantee to hit the target at night?"
Faced with the question of landing far away, Shen Xing could only shake his head. He had always just followed other people's instructions to train, and he never cared about details such as distance.
"Forget it, let's try it tonight." Lu Zhiyao sighed softly and looked at Xuanyuan Junfan, "The prince and Baili Chen are responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower. Is that okay? If they encounter a strong opponent, they will be killed. Take it, if you can bring the head back to the emperor, he will definitely be happier."
"Wouldn't it be more interesting for you to do this kind of thing?"
"Interesting things will happen later. Why should the prince be in such a hurry?"
After Lu Zhiyao finished explaining the simple things, she was ready to go on the road. All the details needed to be figured out after she saw the terrain and environment there, how many people were guarding the other side, and whether there were as many people as Su Shi. There were difficult targets, and she needed to confirm them herself. Now that Lin Yinan had taken action, it was impossible not to plan and prepare for a counterattack, so she really found this battle difficult.
After deciding on the departure time, Lu Zhiyao, Xuanyuan Junfan and Baili Chen changed their faces respectively, left the capital and headed for the border.
They were divided into two groups. Lu Zhiyao and Mo Xiaoying took Shen Xing with them, plus a person she selected - Yun Fei. The remaining Xuanyuan Junfan, Baili Chen and Geng Zhengxin left first, Wait for them after passing the border inspection.
"Long time no see." Mo Xiaoying said to Lu Zhiyao.
"This slave pays his respects to his master."
Although it is not convenient to reveal Mo Xiaoying's identity, the due respect still needs to be shown.
"Don't do this, I'll feel uncomfortable." Mo Xiaoying said with a bitter smile. Along the way, Yunfei led Shen Xing in front, while Mo Xiaoying talked a lot with Lu Zhiyao.
She had always been curious about Lu Zhiyao's identity. After learning that Lu Zhiyao was the queen of Xia Lai Kingdom, she was even more surprised. She felt extremely uncomfortable about Lu Zhiyao's bizarre life experience and experience. Easy. She is also a woman, so she naturally understands the sadness in Lu Zhiyao's heart when he was alone outside, suffering, and giving birth to a child.
"I heard from the emperor that from now on the affairs of the escort team will be left to you?"
"Yes." Lu Zhiyao nodded slightly and looked at Mo Xiaoying in confusion, "Why did the emperor let you come?"
"I come out often, it seems you don't know yet."
She is also a member of the escort team, and her existence is only to protect the emperor's safety.
"It seems that it is not easy for you to be a queen." Lu Zhiyao said thoughtfully.
"It's good to know. You don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me in the future."
Mo Xiaoying's background was not high. Even though she was a queen now, she never really regarded herself as a queen. Lu Zhiyao, on the other hand, seemed to be much taller than her, whether it was her birth or other things, and she was right in her heart. Lu Zhiyao had a good impression, and knowing the misfortune that had happened to Lu Zhiyao, Mo Xiaoying had no intention of embarrassing her.
A few years later, the border was much stricter than what Lu Zhiyao was familiar with. After many rounds of investigations, Lu Zhiyao finally set foot on the land of Xialai Kingdom again.
When they came to the gathering place, they met with Xuanyuan Junfan and others. They chose to find an inn to stay in the border area. The three days specified by Xuanyuan Haotian did not include today, and he did not expect Lu Zhiyao to act so resolutely. , on the day he took over the escort team, he took people with him to carry out his assigned mission.
The entire second floor of the inn was occupied, and the six top-notch guest rooms were just enough to accommodate them.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Xing, who lived in the same room as Lu Zhiyao, couldn't help but ask when he looked at Lu Zhiyao who was lying on the window sill looking down.
He couldn't call her by her name, and he didn't want to call her sister, so he just asked directly without calling her.
