"Thank you for your concern, little wife. Isabel has told me about the situation in the capital. Han Feng is trapped in the imperial city and is in danger. Of course we must find a way to break the situation as soon as possible."
Early this morning, the Xuanbing Palace disciples told Isabel everything they had learned.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. After Zhou Xingyun learned from his sister Xuannv that the protective wall in the aristocratic district of the capital had been occupied by rebels, he seriously consulted Xu Zhiqian and asked a lot of information about the rebels.
At this time, Zhou Xingyun was ready to pretend to be a master in front of Han Qiumiao and tell Han Qiumiao the information about the north that he heard from Xunxuan this morning.
"Who is the little wife!" Han Qiumiao was angry again.
"Obviously you swore yourself that you would never let me have a good life, otherwise you would marry me as my concubine and serve me for life." Zhou Xingyun smiled proudly.
"When did I say this..." Han Qiumiao was suddenly speechless. It seemed that he had a good memory, which was not necessarily a good thing.
"Hahaha, I finally remembered." Rao Yue smiled. Han Qiumiao asked Han Shuang to capture Zhou Xingyun into the imperial city for the first time, and also gave him poisonous wine to drink. Rao Yue used the emperor's sixteenth son's gold medal to avoid death, and brought him to the imperial city.
Zhou Xingyun rescued him.
Han Qiumiao thought they had gone far, so he was so angry that he smashed the wine bottle on the ground, and swore fiercely... If Zhou Xingyun could not be punished, she would do whatever he wanted. Now it should come true. (For details, please review Chapter 114, The Mysterious Beauty)
It was precisely after Zhou Xingyun heard Han Qiumiao's vows that he would call her "little wife" from time to time.
"That doesn't count! At that time, I thought you and the Sixteenth Prince were plotting a rebellion!" Han Qiumiao refused.
It's okay that Zhou Xingyun didn't mention it, but mentioning it made her even more angry. If this guy's acting skills weren't so realistic and the corrupt officials pretended to be real, she wouldn't have flooded the Dragon King Temple and sent Xun Xuan to seduce him.
"You can't be dishonest in your words. What's more, you are the eldest princess of my court! Shouldn't the golden words be true to their word?"
Han Qiumiao's angry look was so beautiful that Zhou Xingyun couldn't hold it back for a moment, so he gritted his teeth in anger.
However, Zhou Xingyun seemed to have gone too far this time. Han Qiumiao was furious, the tip of his nose turned slightly red, and tears fell down his face in large drops.
"Senior Brother Xingyun made the princess cry!" Xu Zhiqian had to write a big thank you to Zhou Xingyun. A woman as strong as Han Qiumiao was made angry by him and cried.
"My lord...what's wrong with Qiu Miao? Hey...don't cry...it's my fault, I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Your eyes are red from crying, so you're not pretty." Zhou Xingyun hurriedly ran forward to make the girl happy, obviously he didn't expect it.
If you make fun of yourself, you will make Han Qiumiao cry. It seems that this princess is a weak woman who is strong on the outside but soft on the inside.
"Don't touch me... I don't want you to care." Han Qiumiao took a step back to avoid Zhou Xingyun, feeling very aggrieved. She cared so much about him today and was worried that he was unwell, but he bullied her in front of everyone. It was so heartless.
.
"Qiu Miao, don't be angry. I just want to play with you. You know, I also said that you look beautiful when you are angry. I am a bitch. I want to see you angry and get scolded by you, but I don't."
I mean to bully you. Of course, the way you cry now is very cute, which makes me feel sad. I'm sorry, please don't cry, okay?" Zhou Xingyun gently pulled Han Qiumiao into his arms. It is estimated that his sweet words played a subtle role.
Han Qiumiao did not shake him off this time, but stood still and let Zhou Xingyun shed tears for her.
"Qiu Miao, although the situation in the capital is imminent, don't force yourself too much. The Queen Mother is smarter than you think and will definitely be able to stabilize the situation, so... don't cry, don't worry, let us take the responsibility together and stop Emperor Shi.
The six sons rebelled." Zhou Xingyun kissed Han Qiumiao affectionately, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Zhou Xingyun understood that under normal circumstances, Han Qiumiao would not be so easily angered and cry. Now that she was bursting into tears, it was probably because the capital city was in a hurry and her heart was too heavy.
"You... are rude." Han Qiumiao cursed lightly, and for the first time in her life, she cried when she was kissed by a man. Her cheeks became hot and her heart beat wildly.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess is so charming. I couldn't help but..." Zhou Xingyun smiled shamelessly.
"As expected of a prodigal son." Yu Wushuang was stunned. Zhou Xingyun made Han Qiumiao cry at one moment and made her happy at the other. He was so coquettish that he had no friends.
"Look well! Study well! That's a good man in this world with modern thinking!" Qin Shou nodded naively. Almost all the friends present knew that Zhou Xingyun had incredible knowledge about the future. This skill of beauties might also be the future.
Black technology...
A quarter of an hour passed quietly, Han Qiumiao's mood stabilized, and everyone sat around again and began to discuss countermeasures to assess the chaos.
"Senior Brother Xingyun, did you do this on purpose?" Xu Zhiqian asked curiously. Due to the changes in the capital, Han Qiumiao must have accumulated a lot of pressure in her heart. Zhou Xingyun deliberately made her cry to let her release and vent her anxiety. It was a good way.
Han Qiumiao's mental outlook is now much more relaxed than when we first met.
"It's just a mistake... However, Qiu Miao is under a lot of pressure, and I know it well." Zhou Xingyun told the truth, and then asked a stupid and naive question to get to the point: "Ignoring the northern soldiers, why did the soldiers guarding the capital pass mutiny?"
Zhou Xingyun had heard Xun Xuan say before that because the northern princes manipulated public opinion, the northern people were hostile to the empress dowager's regime, but the soldiers responsible for guarding the capital's checkpoints were not from the north.
It was precisely because of the sudden mutiny of the soldiers guarding the checkpoint that the capital was plunged into despair today.
"Money can make the world go round. Not long ago, I received a tip. After we left the capital, the Sixteenth Emperor not only spent a lot of money to win people's hearts, but also gave away all the singers and concubines kept in the mansion." Han Qiumi had already reported in
A few days ago, she started to contact the spies in the capital, and she knew all the little moves of the Sixteenth Prince.
"Haha, I have been to the Emperor's Mansion several times. The singers, dancers, and prostitutes he raised are really ordinary in appearance. They are beautiful to ordinary people, but they are far inferior to my Shen Xinke.
Not to mention my Xunxuan." Zhou Xingyun was 10,000% sure that after seeing Xunxuan, the sixteenth prince completely lost his sexual interest in the crooked melons and cracked dates in his mansion, so he gave them to others as broken shoes.
"I emphasize once again, I am not yours!" Xunxuan corrected her very seriously, preventing Zhou Xingyun from making any further progress.
"Qiu Miao gave Xun Xuan to me, and I promise not to make you angry in the future and to obey your words." Zhou Xingyun asked Han Qiumiao for help without any shame.
"Okay." Han Qiumiao agreed without saying a word.
"This...you! Princess?" Xunxuan was in disbelief. She didn't understand what Han Qiumiao's intention was, and he actually sold her like this.
"Very good! You are mine now!" Zhou Xingyun was overjoyed and wanted to see how Xunxuan would argue with him in the future.
"Don't be too happy too early. I will give Xunxuan to you on the condition that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne. Therefore, you are not allowed to break Han Feng's body until she becomes emperor."
Han Qiumiao sold Xunxuan without hesitation, clearly letting Zhou Xingyun know that as long as Han Feng became emperor, Xunxuan would be his woman. He hoped that Zhou Xingyun would be undistracted and use all his strength to help Han Feng ascend the throne.
To put it bluntly, Xunxuan was the carrot dangled in front of the donkey's eyes, tempting Zhou Xingyun to move forward desperately.
"It should be... no problem..." Zhou Xingyun readily agreed. Just looking at Xun Xuan every day made him satisfied. The wedding room had flowers and candles and so on. The future was long and he could do it every day. There was no rush to do it every day.
"Okay, let's get straight to the point. Now that Shuimen Pass is controlled by the rebels, we must find a way to break through the blockade and enter the outskirts of the capital without alerting the enemy."
Han Qiumiao calmly analyzed that if more than a thousand of them could sneak into the outskirts of the capital without anyone noticing, they could show up at a critical moment and give the Sixteenth Emperor a heads-up.
Forcibly breaking through will expose your whereabouts and become the target of the enemy's encirclement and suppression. Therefore, you must be careful and think twice before proceeding.
"Can we go around the Water Gate Pass?" Mo Nianxi missed the puppy leader very much and hoped to go home as soon as possible. If they could find a small mountain road and bypass the Water Gate Pass, they could sneak into the capital.
"It can't be done. The three checkpoints of Tianmen, Water Gate, and Longmen are natural fortresses that protect the capital. They occupy a natural and steep terrain. They are located among the steep mountains and cliffs and canyons. They are the only road leading to the capital, and are surrounded by cliffs.
The cliff is steep and there is no other mountain road to enter the outskirts of the capital."
Han Qiumiao shook his head and said, if there really was a mountain road that could go around the capital, they would not build a checkpoint here.
"Although there are steep cliffs around Shuimen Pass, I remember that last time I and Fengxue went out to the city for hunting, we were able to climb the top of the mountain." Zhou Xingyun recalled that Shuimen Pass is located between the canyons. As long as they climbed the hills on both sides, they could
Jump from top to bottom and fly directly across the checkpoint into the outskirts of the capital city.
"Don't be ridiculous. Even an extremely skilled person may not be able to land safely if he jumps from that height." Wei Suyao decisively denied Zhou Xingyun's whimsical thoughts. Suicidal behavior like jumping off a cliff is simply putting the cart before the horse. If you can't fly across, you won't be able to do it.
Shattered to pieces.
Moreover, this method is too difficult and only a few top warriors can use it.
"Does Zhiqian bring the Four Treasures of the Study?" Zhou Xingyun asked the cute little creature beside him. Just like Wei Suyao always likes to bring a bottle of Narcissus Pavilion's specialty honey, Xu Zhiqian usually has stationery on him.
"Brother Xingyun, please use it." Xu Zhiqian took out the paper from her arms and handed the charcoal to Zhou Xingyun.
Based on past experience, once Zhou Xingyun started drawing, he wanted to show everyone the black technology of the future, so Xu Zhiqian looked at him with cute eyes, looking forward to his next speech.
"Have you ever heard of hang gliding?" Zhou Xingyun did not draw on the white paper, but folded the paper and said in a leisurely manner: "In fact, there are many flying tools we can make, such as the Kongming Lantern based on the blueprint.
