When the wet paper was peeled off, Qingyang was like a drowned animal, panting violently, breathing in the air that she thought she would never meet again. Her pretty face turned red and purple, and her chest heaved. She never felt like she was herself for a moment.
It is so fragile, as fragile as the foam on someone else's fingertips, it will break with just a flick.
Qingyang finally understood the situation at this moment and buried her resentment deep in her heart, but she still didn't want to lower her noble head. When she saw a boat parked by the river, standing proudly, she straightened her slightly messy dress and walked towards it.
Walk towards the bow of the ship.
"This ship is used to confuse the pursuers. The princess and I have to work hard to find other ways to escape from Shu!" Yang Qin reminded from the side.
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, had left the capital of Shu for Yuzhou to take up his post four days ago. The news of the dramatic changes in Jinling had most likely reached Yuzhou by this time, and the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, would know about it at any time.
Han Qian was not only worried that Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, would regret the marriage, he was even worried that Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, would become ambiguous after learning about the incident, and temporarily detained them to wait and see how the situation would develop.
Another one is that six to seven hundred members of the wedding delegation fled south together. There were not enough fast horses on the land route, so the speed was slow. However, by boat, they first went south along the Tuojiang River to Huzhou, and then passed through Huzhou into the Yangtze River. No matter how fast the speed was, it would not be possible.
It takes four days and four nights before you can enter Wushan Changxia.
In fact, Princess Qingyang is missing. No matter how slow the Shu Palace and the Changxiang Houfu are, they will definitely notice it before nightfall. At that time, they only need to send fast cavalry and notify the states and counties along the route to send troops to intercept them. They may not even reach Luzhou.
will be intercepted.
There were six to seven hundred people in the wedding envoy. Most of them were tasked only to confuse the pursuing Shu army. Others had to be broken up into pieces and dispersed to flee to eastern Sichuan, and then find a way to cross the mountains and escape back to Dachu.
As long as Princess Qingyang is successfully sent to Tanzhou, the identities of Shu Lord Wang Jian, the cheap father-in-law, and Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, the cheap brother-in-law, are confirmed. Even if some of them are captured by the Shu army, they can still send people to pick them up afterwards.
If you go back, you may be tortured.

"What? Qingyang was kidnapped when he left the palace, and Han Qian, the bride-to-be, was also missing?" Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong could not maintain his suave and elegant demeanor at this moment, and his large sleeves robe covered the inkstone on the table in front of him.
The ink pen holder fell to the ground, making a loud clatter. He did not bother to clean up the mess on the ground. He stared at the messenger in disbelief and asked, "Is it possible that Qingyang and Han Qian can still go to heaven and earth?"
, all the scouts from Yinlong Division have eaten shit? All the wedding envoys have fled, not a single one is left!"
"Guo Rong, deputy envoy of the State of Chu to welcome the bride, is still staying in the South Garden of Jinhua Tower, holding the princess's keepsake and letter. The princess said in the letter that she had learned about the dramatic changes in Jinling and was worried that the emperor would regret her marriage to the third prince of Chu, so she
Escape from the palace and ask Han Qian, the wedding envoy, to escort her out of the capital!" the messenger said.
"Nonsense, how could this letter be written by Qingyang? It's fake. Qingyang was kidnapped by Han Qian. It's impossible for Qingyang to write such a letter!" Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, roared angrily.
I thought that Qingyang would be kidnapped in the capital.
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, arrived at Yuzhou City yesterday, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, to take up the post of governor. He even had time last night to summon the chief generals, such as Changshi, Sima, Zhubo, and the military envoy, as well as Tanma, the Shu army who had sneaked into Chu.
Then the news that Emperor Tianyou passed away and that Han Daoxun died after being beaten into pieces was handed to his desk.
Today was also the Lantern Festival originally planned for Princess Qingyang to return to Dachu from the capital of Shu with her emissaries Han Qian and Guo Rong. It had only been three hours since he sent the messenger to the capital of Shu to inform the news of Jinling.
The messenger who came on horseback told him that Princess Qingyang had eloped to Chu State under the escort of Han Qian, the wedding envoy?
Changxiang Hou Wang Yong's brain was so muddled that he believed that Qingyang's feelings for Yang Yuanpu were so sincere and deep that he would elope? The facts before him were obviously that Han Qian knew the news of the drastic changes in Jinling in advance, and was worried that he would
After being detained, not only would he escape without warning, but he would also use the excuse of sudden illness to lure Qingyang out of the palace and kidnap him.
The dignified princess of a country was robbed so quietly in her own capital. Two days have passed and Han Qian and others have not been found. The prince of Changxiang, Wang Yong, was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
good.
Sometimes the truth or falsehood of things is not the most important thing. Naturally, it is difficult for the messenger to judge anything. He just tells the truth about the current situation and reaction of the capital:
"The king of the country has ordered that Guo Rong and other members of the Chu envoy who are stranded in the capital be detained and imprisoned. However, there are still nearly 700 people in the Chu envoy to welcome the bride. They are divided into ten groups and dispersed along the water and land routes to eastern Sichuan.
When Chuannan fled, the king was furious and sent two thousand reconnaissance cavalry from the Yinlong Division to chase him along the road. He also ordered the prefectures and counties along the road to send troops to intercept the Chu envoys. For the time being, there is no trace of the princess..."
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, pondered for a while, unsure whether his father had guessed that Qingyang had been kidnapped and was furious, or whether he had mistakenly thought that Qingyang had eloped to the Chu Kingdom and was furious. He ordered the guards in front of the corridor and said: "Go and capture Cao Cao."
Please come over here."
Dramatic changes occurred in Jinling, Emperor Chu Tianyou died, and Crown Prince Yang Yuanpu succeeded to the throne. The situation in Chu State suddenly became complicated and confusing. No one knew what would happen next, but the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Yang Yuanpu of Chutan Prefecture.
Even further, they should no longer consider who in Chu will win the final victory at this time. Instead, they should consider how long it will take Liang Jun to take advantage of Chu's domestic chaos to conquer Jingxiang, Huainan, Xuchu and others north of the Yangtze River.
Take the land.
If the Chu State loses all its territory north of the Yangtze River and is ruined internally, and they continue to marry Yang Yuanpu, the king of Chutan, isn't it going to be muddled in their brains?
Of course, it is not ruled out that Chu Tan King Yang Yuanpu and Chu Xin King Yang Yuanyan could join forces to capture Jinling as quickly as possible. However, the two of them divided the spoils and each occupied a corner of Chu, but they still maintained a strength that was not weaker than that of Shu. Then
The marriage still has to go ahead.
In other words, no matter what, no matter whether the letter left by Qingyang is true or false, Han Qian and the others must be detained now, and Qingyang must be intercepted to wait and see the situation.
When Cao Gan, a member of the judicial army, arrived, Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, briefly recounted the situation to him and said: "I will release as many scouts as possible from the state government to track down the Chu envoys who have fled. If anyone finds out,
Regarding the whereabouts of Han Qian and the princess, tell Han Qian that he is willing to come to Yuzhou, and I will treat him with courtesy as a teacher in my life."
"...What if Han Qian doesn't want to come to Yuzhou?"
Cao Qian, a member of the Judiciary Army, was a thin-faced middle-aged man in his forties with two faint scars on his cheeks, sunken eye sockets and gloomy eyes. He was sent to Yuzhou to take up his post with Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang.
direct lineage.
Zuo Qingjiang's army planned to withdraw more than 5,000 troops from Kiazhou and take charge of the management of the Banan area. However, Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong did not want to interfere with the appointment of Zuo Qingjiang's generals, so Han Qian suggested that he would
With prison lawsuits and other matters in hand, there will be an opportunity to consolidate the local family forces in Yuzhou.
The Judiciary Office of the Prefectural Government has a group of spies, and Cao Qian, a member of the judicial army, also brought a group of people with him to Yuzhou to take office with the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong. Although there were only less than a hundred people, they were all carefully brought out by the old people of Shenling Division.
His disciples are better at reconnaissance and tracking than the elites of Yinlong Division.
The land of Shu was surrounded by high mountains. Han Qian had to rush back to Tanzhou as soon as possible. The routes he could take were extremely limited, and Princess Qingyang would definitely try his best to leave traces for them for them to track.
Cao Gan didn't think they would be unable to catch up with Han Qian, but what they would do if they caught up with Han Qian and Princess Qingyang.
If Han Qian and his men were unwilling to surrender, and if they really took action, the consequences would be beyond his control.
"If Han Qian doesn't want to come to Yuzhou, we can't even tie him to Yuzhou, and we can't let him have the opportunity to go to other places!" Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, said with a hint of ferocity on his handsome face at this moment,
"However, you are not allowed to kill without permission before you track down Han Qian's whereabouts!"
"I understand." Cao Gan knew what the Marquis was worried about, so he nodded and replied.
Although Han Daoxun has been quartered by five horses, Han Qian, who has learned the true inheritance from Han Daoxun's family, is obviously not an easy character to deal with.
Even if they don't consider that Princess Qingyang falls into the hands of the opponent at this time, even if they don't consider that Chu Tan King Yang Yuanpu may still gain power, they go on a killing spree at this time, but they still have to worry about the revenge of Han Qian, a ruthless character.
Before the situation is clear, it is better to avoid harming each other as much as possible, so as not to embarrass everyone in the future. However, people must do everything possible to intercept it. Only in this way will the initiative be grasped by them.

Outside Yuzhou City, there is a vast river. A black-topped fishing boat is parked on the river. Two people are sitting on the bow of the boat fishing in the river.
At this time, a fishing boat casting a net to catch fish passed by and stopped, as if neighbors in a fishing village met in the middle of the river and approached the boat to say hello.
"The Marquis of Changxiang sent two groups of exploration horses from Yuzhou City, both of them searched for the outskirts along the Qianjiang River. They should have expected that we would go south along the Qianjiang River, and then return to Xuzhou from the southern foot of Wuling Mountain, but he didn't realize that we were still here.
. And the Marquis of Changxiang also issued an order that only after seeing your Excellency’s people will he allow his men to kill. It seems that he is still somewhat in awe of you, Your Excellency!” Yang Qin was wearing a raincoat, and his bare feet were full of cracks.
His feet looked no different from those of a fisherman on the river. He squatted on the bow of the boat and reported to Han Qianhui who was sitting on another fishing boat.
"..." Qingyang sat bored in the cabin of the awning boat, looking at the mighty river outside the fishing boat, wondering why Yinlongsi and Yuzhou's scouts were so stupid, and were led by the nose to search the outside.
Didn’t you realize that Han Qian, the dog thief, had actually stayed on the inside, even sticking to their search circle and moving little by little to the outside?
"A copy of Changxiang Hou's "Admonishment by Banan Shu" has been sent to the Wu Liao leaders. Several Wu Liao villages are willing to escort you back to Xuzhou, but I feel that your whereabouts still cannot be traced.
These Wuliao villages are under control," Yang Qin said. "We will organize three more teams to traffic in smuggled salt. As long as we confirm that the Marquis of Changxiang and Cao Gan have no other actions, your Excellency, Mrs. Xi and Princess Qingyang will do it tomorrow morning.
Sneak into the private salt team and go south!"
Qingyang screamed in his heart that Han Qian, this thief, was extremely shameless. It can be said that most of "Admonition to the Classics" was written by this thief. After the elder brother wrote it, he even asked this thief to polish it.
Thinking of this thief turning around and sending the copy into the hands of the Banan Wuliao people, in order to arouse the hatred of the Banan Wuliao people towards Yuzhou!
However, the near-death situation when she left the capital of Shu forced Qingyang to be cautious and dormant at this moment. She knew very well that if she really made any rash move, this thief would definitely kill her ruthlessly!
