Han Qian's words were somewhat harsh. Princess Qingyang didn't like to hear them. She left her mouth unconvinced. Marquis Changxiang pondered for a while. He knew very well that even at this point, Qingyang would marry Yang Yuanpu, the king of Chutan. The marriage is not without its uncertainties. He bowed to Han Qian and said:
"This time when I go to Shu, I have to rely more on Mr. Han to deal with all parties."
"The Marquis is too polite, Han Qian is just a guest doing as he pleases," Han Qian replied, "By the way, I am very confused about one thing. Did the Marquis hear anything when he was in Jinling? Why did Your Majesty choose I'm on a mission to welcome the bride?"
From the standpoint of Prince Tan's Palace, it might be most appropriate for Han Qian to be sent as an envoy to welcome the bride. However, Emperor Tianyou didn't know that he would burp at any time. Even if he had to choose the ministers around the third prince to be envoys to Shu, he would take this opportunity to aggravate the third prince's side. power, then in the eyes of Emperor Tianyou, why is Shen Yang more suitable for this position than him?
People who know the situation know that he is the most trusted minister around Yang Yuanpu, and his actual status is second only to Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Shen Yang. But people in Shu who don't know the situation will think that Emperor Chu just sent a young man. This guy is on a mission to welcome a bride, but he doesn’t pay attention to the marriage at all?
This was the confusion that had been plaguing Han Qian's mind for the past few days. He thought that since it was Changxiang Hou Wang Yong who proposed the marriage on behalf of the Shu Kingdom, he might be able to hear some rumors when he came in and out of the palace that he could not detect here. .
Seeing Han Qian's direct question about this matter, Changxiang Hou Wang Yong replied: "When Emperor Tianyou summoned me, he also said that it was quite a headache to welcome relatives. I accidentally said that Han Xuzhou was a great talent and was also very popular in Shu. Mu Wang..."
Princess Qingyang glanced at Han Qian contemptuously, hoping that he would understand in his heart that the eldest brother initially fully hoped that his father Han Daoxun could go to Shu as an envoy, but she didn't know that Emperor Chu knew what medicine was wrong, and finally chose his son to go as an envoy!
Han Qian's scalp was numb at this moment, and Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, hoped that his father would understand when he went on an envoy to welcome his bride.
Apart from the misunderstanding of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, from other aspects, his father is indeed a suitable candidate to welcome the bride. Even if he temporarily leaves Xuzhou for half a year to send Shu, and the affairs of Xuzhou are temporarily taken over by Chang Shi and Sima, it is not a big deal. It's an unexpected thing, but why didn't Emperor Tianyou accept the suggestion of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, and instead chose him to go to Shu as an envoy?
At this time, Han Qian secretly felt an impulse in his heart. He should stop and figure this out before going to Shu!
It's just that Han Qian wanted to return home, but he couldn't really stop going back to Jiangxi to meet his bride.
Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, glanced at Han Qian with confusion. He originally thought that Han Qian would feel greatly honored and excited to be able to replace his father as an envoy to welcome the bride, but he saw that there was something in Han Qian's eyes that he could not hide. of surprise.
Wang Yong thought to himself: What is Han Qian worried about? Is there anything in Chu that he cannot see through?
At this time, the fleet will pass by the most famous red rock waterfall in Nanjinguan Gorge. The waterfall pours out from the depths of the thousand-foot-high red cliff. The river wind swirls wildly, blowing the water overflowing, as if it is pouring down.
The river here was only a hundred steps wide. Han Qian and the others did not want to get wet in the cold season, so they had no choice but to hide in the cabin.
Xi Rong followed into the cabin and saw Han Qian standing in front of the porthole with a puzzled face and said: "What are you worried about?"
"I can't figure out Emperor Tianyou's thoughts. I can't feel at ease no matter what!" Han Qian smiled bitterly.
"Would you like to write a letter and send someone to Jinling to give it to Feng Liao and see if Feng Liao can find out any clues?" Xi Rong asked.
"Feng Liao can only judge the signs of trouble from some clues. I'm afraid no one in the world can guess the thoughts of Emperor Tianyou yet, right?"
Han Qian sighed in his heart. Manpower was always limited, so Feng Liao took a few people to Jinling to lurk. No matter how powerful he was, there would be an unbreakable ceiling. His source of information at this time counted the manpower deployed in Jinyun Tower.
The interior is even far inferior to the Wanhong Mansion that has been laid out for more than ten years. Can we still expect Feng Liao to have any extraordinary magical powers?
Han Qian stretched out his hands to rub his face and said,
"It's useless to think too much. Let's think about how to deal with the mission before us! Wang Yong actually encouraged Emperor Tianyou to send my father as an envoy to Shu. He is also a restless person!"
"What's the use of being restless? The real mastermind is right in front of his eyes and nose, and he actually wants to give up his son to beg his father! And Princess Qingyang looks like she was spoiled since she was a child, and she has only a little bit of cleverness.
That's all." Xi Rong had been with Han Qian for three or four years, and her horizons had become higher. She said with disdain towards the Marquis of Changxiang and Princess Qingyang in her heart.
No matter how much Xi Rong disdains Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, and Princess Qingyang, as long as Wang Yong has a restless mind, he is an egg with a crack, and he must make good use of it no matter what.

…………
In the depths of Lishan Mountain in Weinan, there are winding peaks and ridges. It is already winter in October and a snow has just fallen. Looking from a distance, Lishan Mountain looks like a vast white dragon.
At the middle foot of Mount Li, more than a thousand armored soldiers were crossing a canyon with a narrow and rugged road. There was only a faint rustling sound among the more than a thousand people and horses.
If people who know military skills such as Han Qian or Zheng Hui saw this scene, they would be shocked. What kind of strict military discipline and training are required to enable more than a thousand troops to march on such a dangerous trail without making a single noise.
?
Occasionally, a horse snorts, or one or two big birds whistle across the sky, breaking the silence in the canyon. The canyon is long and deep, with twists and turns. A waterfall falls from a hundred-foot-high cliff, and the water splashes against the rocks, making a gurgling sound.
.
Wearing a green robe, Zhu Yu stood on a raised stone platform and watched with satisfaction as Lieutenant General Chen Kun led his soldiers through the mountain pass.
It is precisely because of such a rigorously trained elite that he has gained the reputation of not losing in ten years.
It cannot be said that he has not suffered a defeat in ten years. The war between Jing and Xiang stopped at Xichuan City, so he should be considered a loser.
Although he did not personally direct the siege of Xichuan City, he deduced the process before and after the Xichuan offensive and defensive battle afterwards, and felt that even if he personally sat down outside Xichuan City, the chance of successfully conquering Xichuan City would only increase by 20 to 30%, and it would not be possible.
Achieve more than 70% to 80% chance of winning.
At this time, several fast horses broke the loneliness of the valley, and the messenger rushed to Zhu Yu, handed over three wax pills, and said: "Secret reports have been sent from the three places, please tell your highness!"
The stinging tigers that sneak into various places usually don't send news once a year. What day is it today that three secret reports of stinging tigers are sent to Lishan?
"What's the news?" Chen Kun, as a direct descendant of Zhu Yu's direct line, has worked for Zhu Yu through life and death over the years. He is a man qualified to know all the secrets around Zhu Yu, so when he came over to ask, there was nothing to avoid.
"The Emperor of Chu actually sent Han Qian as an envoy to Shu to welcome Yang Yuanpu. In addition to the national gift, he also privately brought property worth millions of dollars to Shu..." Zhu Yu frowned slightly and handed a wax pill to Chen Kun.
Look, he opened the second wax pill.
"Han Qian sent Chu to unite with Shu to attack Liang?" Chen Kun was shocked after reading the first wax pill secret message. He secretly felt that if Han Qian succeeded, the pressure on them in Guanzhong would be great.
"Chu and Shu occupies the geographical advantage to control our troops and horses. Even if Han Qian has this intention, not many Shu generals have the courage. Don't worry too much. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think more about why Chu Emperor did this
Selecting Han Qian as an envoy to welcome the bride - this is very strange?!" Zhu Yu then handed the second wax pill secret message to Chen Kun.
Chen Kun also felt that there was something strange about Emperor Chu sending Han Qian to envoy Chu at this time, but he couldn't figure it out after pondering for a long time, so he lowered his head to read the second wax pill secret message, and couldn't help but sigh: "This person Han Qian is
He is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. His Highness should have kept him when he was in Guishan, otherwise, he might have become the biggest obstacle for His Highness to cross the Yangtze River and move south!"
"He didn't tip off my whereabouts afterward. If I took action to detain him, it would be fine. If I failed to keep him, wouldn't it be a joke?" Zhu Yu said with a smile, thinking about the time he was in Guishan.
I didn't take any action to detain Han Qian, and I don't feel any regret at all.
At this time, Zhu Yu pinched open the third wax pill, but as soon as he read a few lines of fine words, his expression suddenly froze.
Chen Kun didn't know what the secret message of the third wax pill was, but it made His Highness look so solemn. He subconsciously raised his head to take a look, but saw Zhu Yu tearing the third wax pill secret message into pieces first and throwing them into the pool.
middle.
At this moment, there was even a trace of ferocious pain on Zhu Yu's face.
Chen Kun's heart skipped a beat. He had followed King Yong for so many years, but he had never seen King Yong look like this before.
Zhu Yu took a long breath, and seemed to have tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and said to Chen Kun: "I have issued an order that all Chengtian Guard secret soldiers lurking in Guanzhong Prefecture County will gather at Funiaoling in the south of Tongguan in three days.
Any disturbance will alarm the place!"
The Chengtian Guard is a secret military force trained by King Yong outside Xuanjiadu and controlled by Chen Kun and other direct descendants; Zhehu is also a secret room sent by the Chengtian Guard to spy on intelligence and carry out deep lurking.
Yong Wang Zhu Yu has led Xuanjiadu to run Guanzhong in the past two years. Naturally, Chengtianwei's secret power has mainly been transferred to Guanzhong. Instead of calling Xuanjiadu, he ordered all Chengtianwei's secret soldiers in Guanzhong to rush to the south of Tongguan to assemble?
Seeing His Highness King Yong tearing up the secret letter and throwing it into the pond, Chen Kun no longer asked what happened. He immediately led a few people to leave the valley and went out to Lishan Mountain to summon the secret soldiers of the Chengtian Guard...
