Chu Yunli looked at the gorgeous skirt on her body and felt very good.
The northern border is remote, and the folk customs are tough. Food and clothing are rough, and the fields produce not much, so the people can barely get enough food and clothing. In disaster years, even if the prince reduces taxes, some people will still starve to death.
Now that Chu Yunli is here, there is certainly a lot to be done.
These are all good values!
Chu Yunli ordered people to keep an eye on Gu Qingqing, and then asked people to prepare horses and lead the palace guards to ride out of the city to pick up King Bei who returned secretly today.
Four months ago, the King of the North came to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. According to common sense, it would take half a month before he could return to the North.
The original person, Gu Yuan'er, has her birthday tomorrow. In her previous life, she didn't know that not long after King Bei left the capital, he took his escort on the road in a light carriage. If everything goes well, he should enter the city tonight, and he will also bring a lot of rare things from the capital.
Something to congratulate her on her birthday.
Unfortunately, King Bei was assassinated on his way back and fell into a coma after returning to the palace. Even if he woke up later, he died not long after.
It was also because of this that Fu Yiniang secured her position as the Crown Princess.
After leaving the city, Chu Yunli did not take the official road, but directly hit the small road.
The guard commander was quite puzzled. He looked at the dense forest in front of him and stepped forward on his horse: "Princess, if you want to go horse racing and relax, there are several suitable places in the suburbs. I will take you there."
Chu Yunli glanced at him, whipped her hard, and the horse ran faster. She said loudly: "I got news that my father will enter the city today."
The guard commander was startled: "I haven't heard of it..."
Chu Yunli was now a proud princess, and of course she would not explain to him. She retorted without turning her head: "He is my father. If he has something to do, he must tell my daughter."
Guard commander: "..."
Chu Yunli had already entered the dense forest on horseback.
The dense forest is very large and there is miasma in it. Unless local people are familiar with the terrain, outsiders would not dare to break into it.
Because of this, the original official road was detoured.
Gu Yuan'er didn't know the road, but Chu Yunli did. She had also walked through many dense forests, and knew how to identify the miasma forest. Whenever she got close, she would go around. She looked at the sky, and the more she walked, the more anxious she became. Half an hour later, suddenly,
From among the branches and leaves, I saw someone on the ground in front of me.
Chu Yunli was overjoyed. She got off her horse and quickly stepped forward. She saw several horses standing leisurely on the small road. A group of guards in powerful costumes were lying on the ground. There was black blood between their mouths and noses, and the blood was still there.
Warm.
She commanded in a deep voice: "Help!"
The guard commander recognized that these were the guards of the prince's palace. The important thing was that they were all the people who escorted the prince to the capital. Now they are lying here, what about the prince?
Chu Yunli looked around, jumped like a dense forest, and chased in one direction.
The guard commander saw it and hurriedly followed him.
From the looks of it, something might have happened to the prince. This ancestor must not let anything happen to him again.
King Bei is in his forties this year. He is in his prime. He is tall and strong. He rarely gets sick all year round. He often hunts in the woods, but at this time he is stumbling around.
There were two people following closely behind him, and the swords in their hands were extremely sharp. Several times, he felt that the swords were about to cut into his back.
King Bei didn't dare to stop, let alone give up. He said solemnly: "You are the guards of my palace, why betray me? For fame? For profit? I can give you what they can give you. You have followed me for many years.
, you should know my temperament, and you must keep your word..."
Before he could finish the word "hua", King Bei groaned.
Behind him, a large knife slashed into his shoulder blade.
Fortunately, King Bei reacted quickly and relieved some of his strength, otherwise, the entire shoulder would have been cut off.
He thought in amusement that sometimes it was not a good thing if he was too good at guarding. There was a big rock in front of him. With the injuries he suffered now, he could climb up, but his speed would definitely be affected. He subconsciously looked back.
The two people behind him wanted to estimate their chances of escape.
Turning around, he faced two swords that were raised high, and saw that they were about to fall in front of him. Even though Bei Wang was always steady, he couldn't help but panic.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to subside, but heard two muffled groans.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the two people in front of him had dagger points exposed from the vital parts of their chests. They stiffened and slowly fell down.
They fell, revealing the person behind them.
When the Northern King saw it, he was overjoyed and said: "Yuan'er!"
In his previous life, King Bei received two more stabs. The royal government spent all its efforts in the north to search for famous doctors, but they only allowed him to live for a few more days.
Chu Yunli didn't dare to take risks, thinking that no matter what, she would find him before the two knives fell on him at the vital part. She had already seized the time, and it took less than half a minute before someone caught Fu Yiniang in the house.
They were out the door within a quarter of an hour. They didn't dare to delay along the way. They thought they had enough time, but unexpectedly, the dense forest was full of forks and miasma, and it took a lot of effort to find them.
Seeing King Bei who was only injured on his shoulder, Chu Yunli relaxed his back, and then realized that his head was covered in cold sweat.
After being saved, King Bei lost all his strength and collapsed on the big rock that he could not climb up.
The guard commander hurriedly stepped forward to check his injuries. Chu Yunli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to tear off the hem of his skirt. When he found that the material was not good, he frowned slightly and raised his hand to tear off King Bei's skirt.
Help him bandage.
King Bei laughed loudly, and slapped Chu Yunli on the shoulder with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, with a sound like a bell: "I thought I would die here."
Chu Yunli was so painful from being slapped by him that she bandaged her. When she thought of something, she coldly ordered: "Go and search around, and escort all strangers over here!"
The guard commander immediately responded and led people around.
As for the two traitors on the ground, guards have already come forward to carry them away.
When Chu Yunli arrived, she happened to see the two men about to attack Bei Wang. She was afraid that she would miss, so she subconsciously pointed the dagger at the vital parts of the two men. In a short time, they were already dead.
Chu Yunli bandaged the wound and said regretfully: "If there were no vital injuries, we could have taken them back for interrogation."
King Bei is also a martial arts practitioner. Of course he knows the danger just now, and he is in a good mood at this time: "It doesn't matter. These people want to kill me. As long as I am not dead, they will come again sooner or later. Let's just wait."
Chu Yunli was in a happy mood, which was the mood of her original body Gu Yuan'er. She couldn't help but said: "You shouldn't have come back early!"
Only then did King Bei remember his original intention of coming back early and sighed: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise."
Chu Yunli: "..." The shock was enough.
"I have a birthday every year. If I can't congratulate you this year, there will be next year. Why are you in a hurry? If I don't arrive in time, how can you congratulate me on my birthday tomorrow?"
King Bei is stable by nature and is not a random person. This time he just encountered a traitor. Who would have thought that these cronies would be bribed by others?
At this time, he was scolded by his daughter, but he did not defend himself. He was supported by the guards and slowly walked back and forth.
Not long after, the guard commander came over, with a look of shame on his face: "There is indeed a man who came to the place where Prince Zheng was injured. He was dressed in ordinary people's clothes. He ran away as soon as the humble officer shouted. The humble officer realized that something was wrong, so he led people to chase him... and asked him to give it to him.
Ran."
King Bei was very happy to have saved his life. Hearing that there were still people hiding in the dark, he wondered: "Why are there still people? Are they accomplices?"
The guard commander said seriously: "I've never seen that person before, so he shouldn't be from the palace."
King Bei frowned: "What does he want to do?"
Chu Yunli felt relieved and said calmly: "If those two people hadn't killed you just now, he could have sent you back to the North Prince's Mansion. In this way, he would be the benefactor of the North Prince's Mansion, and he would enjoy endless glory and wealth."
King Bei was extremely angry and slapped the tree nearby: "They are still accomplices! These bastards, when I catch them, I will cut them into pieces."
The tone was sinister, showing that he was really angry.
The King of the North was not too angry when these people killed him. He was the King of the North, and there were many people who wanted to kill him for various reasons. However, these people wanted to plot against his children, so they couldn't bear it anymore.
Chu Yunli frowned: "Don't be angry, there is still poison in your body. Let's talk about it when we get back."
All the guards of the North King were poisoned, and he himself was also poisoned. However, he probably ate less and the poison was not deep.
If he ate as much as the guards, he wouldn't be able to escape this way.
There were many injured people, so the return was a bit slow, but with the escort brought by Chu Yunli, everything went smoothly.
After dark, I used the token from the North Palace to open the city gate, and finally returned to the palace before midnight.
As soon as King Bei came back, especially since he was still injured, the whole palace was like hot oil filled with water, and everything started to move.
After taking his pulse, the doctor prepared medicine and bandaged his wound. While waiting for the medicine to be boiled, King Bei thought of something and ordered: "Bring over the gift I prepared for the princess."
Chu Yunli: "..." I haven't forgotten this yet.
King Bei prepared gifts, which were all random things that he thought his daughter's family would like. There were three boxes in total.
These accounted for most of the luggage he personally carried. Probably because of this, he had to buy food outside on the way back, so he was easy to fall prey to.
Looking at these things, Chu Yunli looked complicated: "Thank you, father."
The King of the North waved his hand: "As long as you like it." He thought of something and added: "By the way, I also brought you a beautiful young man. Unfortunately, he was not in good health. He fell ill when he was approaching the northern border. I
Let people watch him, recover and then send him back."
Chu Yunli: "..." This is the first time she has seen such a good father.
