Cheng Xi frowned tightly, but still said: "Youyi, if we really do it, there will be no way out."

Although Cheng Xi is the father of the queen, he always calls his daughter the queen empress respectfully and never calls her by her given name. But at this time, he called out the word Youyi, and it was obvious that he was confused.

.

It had to be said that the emperor's treatment last night made him feel a little worried.

However, he not only has a daughter and grandson, but also the entire Cheng family. What Queen Cheng said still made him extremely hesitant.

After all, that is a serious crime of confiscating a house and committing rebellion.

"Do we have a way out now?" Queen Cheng retorted quickly, staring at Cheng Shangshu and said: "Dad, don't forget, who is still in the hands of eldest brother now?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xi frowned so much that he almost knitted his brows together.

"Your elder brother knows the seriousness. Until now, hasn't he told anything about the private army?"

As soon as Cheng Huang arrived in the capital, they wanted to take him out, but Xiao Jinglan refused to let him go no matter what. He insisted on letting Cheng Huang publicly apologize at the ceremony of labor sacrifice to heaven. Cheng Xi tried many ways, but Xiao Jinglan

Lan said: Cheng Huang framed the Xiao family army. If I let him go, and if I give an explanation to the soldiers, I will bring back all the people he sent. Even the emperor will be helpless against Xiao Jinglan.

This matter has always been a headache for Cheng Xi.

The only good thing is that Cheng Huang listened to all his usual teachings and kept insisting on the matter of the private army without mentioning a word. Therefore, until now, Xiao Jinglan has not mentioned anything in the memorial to the emperor.

There is no content related to private armies.

"If you don't mention it now, how do you know that he will never mention it?" Queen Cheng said: "Xiao Jinglan has always been the most cunning and treacherous person. Maybe, he just wanted to do it in front of everyone at the labor ceremony.

How about exposing this matter to his face?"

Because of Cheng Huang's frame-up, the Xiao family army suffered nearly 6,000 casualties in the battle of Xianziguan. Xiao Jinglan has always been the most protective of his shortcomings. He must have hated Cheng Huang to the core for a long time. Such calmness is not his style at all.

After hearing Queen Cheng's words, Cheng Xi broke into a cold sweat.

If the matter of the private army is really exposed, then everyone in the Cheng family will not be able to escape death.

And what Queen Cheng said was indeed Xiao Jinglan's behavior.

If it was really exposed in the grand ceremony, they wouldn't even have a way to escape.

"It doesn't matter, if you want glory and wealth in danger, just give it a try!" Cheng Xi said fiercely.

After all, he has been immersed in the court for many years and is very decisive in major matters.

At the moment, the emperor doesn't know about the private army, so they can still catch the emperor off guard. If they wait until the emperor finds out, they will have no chance at all.

"Father is wise!" Empress Cheng looked happy and said, "I wonder where those 20,000 private troops are now?"

At the beginning, Xiao Jinglan promised Cheng Huang not to tell the emperor about the private army, nor did he send anyone to embarrass the private army. Instead, he allowed people from Zhuo County to secretly lead the private army away. But where did those private soldiers go?

Apart from Cheng Xi, not even the prince knew about it.

Cheng Xi looked gloomy and uttered two words: "Beijing suburbs."

In the next few days, Beijing seemed to be calm, but in fact, there was an undercurrent.

First, Lin Changming was sent to Fenshan Camp by the emperor in the name of inspection. Five miles away from Fenshan Camp was the 30,000 Xiao family army who came to Beijing with Xiao Jinglan. This move was obviously to keep an eye on the 30,000 army.

, they are not allowed to act rashly.

Subsequently, Murong Yi was ordered by the emperor to strengthen the security of the nine gates of Anling. There were strict documents for entry and exit. Those with incomplete documents would never be allowed to leave the capital.

After Lin Feixing was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Habayashi Army, he was responsible for the defense of half of the palace. He continuously adjusted the patrol methods in the palace and guarded the palace like an iron barrel.

He had been dormant for so many years before he was recruited by the emperor, so naturally he had to work hard to make the emperor take him more seriously.

Compared to the emperor's fanfare, the Qin Palace was much more low-key. At least on the surface, it looked exactly the same as usual.

But in fact, it has always been the style of the Qin Palace to keep the outside loose and the inside tight. Although outsiders could not see anything, Feng Wuyou knew that Xiao Jinglan had only slept for two hours for three consecutive days, and the lights in the study were even dim.

It stays on all night long.

The Yulin army guarding Mrs. Xiao once pretended to accidentally go around the study room in order to spy on the news. However, they were rudely blocked back by the guards of Prince Qin's palace.

On this day, Xiao Jinglan didn't go to bed until midnight again. After waking up early in the morning, he took Feng Wuyou into the darkroom.

This dark room in Prince Qin's Mansion has a secret passage that connects to the outside, and there is more than one exit. Anyone who is inconvenient to enter Prince Qin's Mansion directly will come in from here.

"Who are we going to see?" Feng Wuyou asked. She had also seen many hidden objects in Prince Qin's palace in the past two days. She didn't know who they were today.

Xiao Jinglan smiled slightly and said, "What you asked for has been delivered."

Hearing this, Feng Wuyou's eyes suddenly lit up. She was originally led by Xiao Jinglan, but now she pulled Xiao Jinglan and ran quickly to the dark room.

"Hurry up..." As he walked, he urged Xiao Jinglan.

This thing was made after she came back from the palace banquet and asked Yan Lin to make the drawings.

Although it is not very complicated, it is the key to whether she can successfully leave the capital, so Feng Wuyou has always attached great importance to it.

But for three days in a row, Yan Lin didn't give him any news. It was already twenty-three today, and if she couldn't do it again, she would be anxious.

Xiao Jinglan was a little amused, but she still quickened her pace and followed Feng Wuyou into the darkroom.

There was a tall man standing in the dark room, wearing a warrior robe. When he saw Feng Wuyou, he immediately saluted: "I have seen the princess."

"You...Cheng Danqing!" Feng Wuyou called out, very surprised.

Isn't Cheng Danqing in Yiyang? How could he appear in Anling?

"Mr. Cheng, how are your injuries?" Feng Wuyou still remembered that his Pipa bone was penetrated, and it took her a lot of effort to deal with it.

"Thanks to the royal concubine's superb medical skills, it's no longer a problem."

If such a serious injury was treated by another doctor, it would most likely have a great impact on his skill. However, after Feng Wuyou's treatment, there were no sequelae at all.

Whenever he thinks about this matter, Cheng Danqing is indescribably grateful to Feng Wuyou.

"That's good." Feng Wuyou nodded.

Although I am very confident in my medical skills, I still feel more reassured when I see the results of treatment with my own eyes.

After a few words of greeting, Cheng Danqing did not delay and directly raised the thing in his hand to Feng Wuyou and said: "Princess, this is what you want."

Feng Wuyou's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward to pick it up.

I saw that this was a special bow and arrow, or rather, a set.

Because this bow is equipped with only one arrow, and the arrow and the bow are firmly connected with a silver wire.

The silver wire was extremely long and was wrapped hundreds of times around the arrow using a special technique.

Feng Wuyou pulled out a piece of silver thread and pulled it with his hand.

"This is Tianshan snow silk. Although it is light in texture, it is extremely tough and can withstand thousands of forces." Cheng Danqing explained beside him.

Is there such a thing? In Feng Wuyou's original drawing, dozens of thin iron wires were twisted into iron wires, which were enough to support the weight of a person. She never expected that Cheng Danqing would give her such a surprise.

"Only this one is made of Tianshan snow silk." Xiao Jinglan said calmly: "The rest are made of iron wire according to your drawing requirements, so you must use this bow yourself."

When it comes to the last sentence, the tone is irrefutable.

Cheng Danqing smiled and said: "It's not that easy to find Tianshan snow silk. In order to make this bow, I am afraid that all the snow silk accumulated by the Qin Palace for decades will be used up. My dearest princess, please give me your thoughts."

Don’t let it down.”

Feng Wuyou's fingers were still wrapped with snow silk. When she heard Cheng Danqing's words, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinglan.

Xiao Jinglan looked at her with a solemn expression, slightly unhappy.

He is still very concerned about Feng Wuyou staying.

However, he could not change Feng Wuyou's mind, so he had no choice but to provide her with the best tools possible so that she could join him safely.

Feng Wuyou felt warm in her heart, sheathed her bow and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Danqing is the best weapons dealer on the Tianlan Continent, and the weapons he produces are naturally without any problems.

"There is another thing like this. I heard from the prince that the princess is very worn out, so I made the decision myself and made another set for the princess." As he spoke, he turned his wrist and a small strap appeared, with neatly arranged items on it.

Twelve scalpels.

Feng Wuyou's eyes widened. With these two things in hand, Feng Wuyou was at least three points more confident about leaving Anling safely.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Feng Wuyou did not hide her gratitude.

However, she was still a little strange and asked: "Why is Mr. Cheng in Anling?"

Cheng Danqing smiled and said: "I tried my best to build 30,000 sets of weapons for the Western Qin Dynasty, but I was robbed by Cheng Huang and Li Demin. They also put me under house arrest. I suffered such serious injuries. How could I do it?"

I want to come and ask for an explanation from the emperor, and..."

Cheng Danqing smiled mysteriously and said, "If I don't come, who will help the old lady and the prince leave the capital?"

Feng Wuyou's eyes widened instantly and he looked back and forth between Cheng Danqing and Xiao Jinglan.

On the one hand, the emperor owed money to Cheng Danqing, and on the other hand, he had to cooperate with Cheng Danqing for weapons in the future. In addition, he always thought that Cheng Danqing was cooperating with the royal family. Therefore, if Cheng Danqing's motorcade wanted to leave Anling City,

There will definitely not be an interrogation, or even if there is an interrogation, the intensity will be much lighter.

Xiao Jinglan actually thought of using Cheng Danqing to get out of the city, which was simply... cunning!

Presumably, Xiao Jinglan had already thought about this when he was still in Yiyang!

This man's far-sightedness and quick thinking are almost demonic.

The Labor Day Ceremony is on the 25th, and tomorrow is already the 24th. If Xiao Jinglan wants to leave Beijing, it will be tomorrow at the latest.

The two discussed the matter of leaving Beijing tomorrow in detail and confirmed all the details before Cheng Danqing left. Feng
Chapter completed!
