Gu Qinghan's waist twisted and wanted to break free. Her plump and round buttocks rubbed between Qi Ning's abdomen, making Qi Ning soft, but she hugged her and refused to let her break free. She said softly: "Sanniang, I'm leaving soon. I don't know how long it will take to go. You can let me hug her, and I will never do anything randomly."

When Gu Qinghan heard his tone soft, she stopped twisting, sighed, closed her eyes, and whispered: "Ning'er, I'm, I know what you want, but if we continue like this, we will wait until if we play with fire, something will happen sooner or later."

"Sanniang thought something was going to happen?" Qi Ning whispered: "I thought something happened, but Sanniang!"

"Stop talking." Gu Qinghan said softly: "This is my biggest concession, and it is impossible to exceed this line again." He sighed, closed his eyes and said softly: "Sanniang knows that you are good to me, but some things are not what you want."

Qi Ning smelled the fragrance of Gu Qinghan's body and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. He felt keen and immediately let go. At this time, he heard Qi Feng's voice coming from outside: "Marty, you are all ready, you can go to the imperial city."

Gu Qinghan waited for Qi Ning to let go and tidied up his clothes in a panic. Qi Ning turned around and walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, looked back at Gu Qinghan, and whispered: "Sanniang, I'll leave first."

Gu Qinghan wanted to speak but stopped. Qi Ning knew that the team on the mission had seen the emperor and was about to leave. At this time, I was afraid that they had already waited on the imperial city. Without hesitation, they would go out.

Gu Qinghan watched Qi Ning's back disappear and was stunned.

Qi Ning led the entourage from the Marquis' Mansion to the front of the imperial city. The city gate had been opened. The guards let Qi Ning enter the city. When they arrived at the square in front of the palace, they saw many people waiting. The Minister of Rites Yuan actually got up early to wait. In addition to some officials, two hundred Yulin guards were dressed in bright armor, and lined up like guns in the morning breeze.

Ma Lan, the Zhenguo Company, was also among them, but the King of Huainan was missing. Qi Ning went forward and saw Chi Fengdian, the commander of the Yulin Camp, coming towards him and saluted: "Marty!"

Qi Ning nodded with a smile. Chi Fengdian turned around and waved his hand. He saw two generals wearing armor coming over, both saluting Qi Ning. Chi Fengdian had already introduced: "Marquis, this is the Yulin general who accompanied the escort mission this time. This is Wu Dalin, the leader of the guard, this is Liang Xiong, the deputy leader of the guard. Just leave the safety of the mission to them."

The two bowed to Qi Ning again. Qi Ning saw that Wu Dalin was not very powerful, with long figure, thick eyebrows, straight nose and wide mouth, not handsome, but gave people a deep feeling. Liang Xiong had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick beard like a needle, and he looked like a powerful general.

Old Secretary Yuan also came forward at this time, and Hu Bowen, the Minister of Personnel, followed him. Qi Ning immediately bowed and said, "Old Secretary!"

Mr. Yuan said: "Mr. Marquis was originally a mission to Dongqi, but unfortunately, he was old and weak, so he could only ask the Marquis to do it for him. In many aspects of etiquette, Mr. Hu had to help him, so he didn't have to worry too much."

"This time we have to rely on Lord Hu to help." Qi Ning smiled. Seeing Sima Lan also coming over, he bowed and said, "Old Duke."

Sima Lan said: "Waiting Jinyi, this time he went to Dongqi to propose marriage, is also for the alliance between the two countries. It is of great importance. Whether the alliance can be reached depends entirely on the Marquis."

"I will do my best to make this happen." Qi Ning nodded.

Suddenly, an eunuch shouted, "The emperor is here!"

The officials immediately lined up and saw more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids coming around Longtai. Although the sky was not bright, Longtai was in good spirits. Everyone knelt down and saluted. Longtai ordered everyone to calm down. Then he walked to Qi Ning and said, "The auspicious time is coming soon. I have prepared a farewell wine for you, drink the farewell wine, and I will hand it over to you when I am on the mission to Dongqi."

Without waiting for the emperor's order, the eunuch had already brought a golden cup of imperial wine. Not only Qi Ning, but also Hu Bowen, Wu Dalin and Liang Xiong also gave each one, Longtai himself also took a cup in his hand, and said warmly: "My dear friends, this mission is related to the fate of our Great Chu. Whether the success or failure depends on your ability." He did not talk much, and he carried the cup and drank it all.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, they all drank it all in one go.

Hearing the sound of drums, Longtai stared at Qi Ning, pondered slightly, and finally said, "Go, I'm waiting for you to come back with good news."

Qi Ning bowed her hand and said nothing nonsense. She turned around and turned over and turned over the horse. Everyone on the mission also turned over and followed Qi Ning and left the city gate. Qi Ning saw that there were already a convoy waiting outside, and there were seven or eight large trucks in front and behind, full of goods.

There were crowds of people, in addition to the two hundred guards, there were thirty or forty drivers driving the car. The entire team had more than 250 people, which could be considered a huge storm.

After leaving the imperial city, the entire team was in order. At the front were more than ten cavalry leading the way. Qi Ning and Hu Bowen were behind, and the Yulin Guards were guarding the convoy. All the Yulin Guards, one man and one horse, carried longbows, wore swords, and iron armor, and were sonorous and majestic. They followed the capital Avenue toward the north gate of the capital.

"Mr. Marquis, there are three cars in total." Hu Bowen rode a horse and explained: "The remaining vehicles are loaded with life needs on the road. The Duke of Zhenguo ordered us to go on a mission to Dongqi and try not to disturb the local governments wherever we pass along the way."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "That's what I mean." He asked, "Have the route to Dongqi been confirmed?"

Hu Bowen said: "After crossing the Yangtze River, head north to the edge of the Huai River, walk east along the Huai River, and approaching the East China Sea, you can cross the Huai River, enter Xuzhou, then go north to Qufu, and then turn northeast to Linzi Lucheng, which is the royal city of Dongqi."

"How long will it take to go on the road?" asked Qi Ning.

Hu Bowen said: "If everything goes well, we can reach Lucheng for about ten days at most, and come back and forth, and estimate the time of the month."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, but in his heart he was thinking about his entrustment to Baiying.

I told Baiying that on June 18th, Xiangyang Gulongzhong held a Qingmu Conference. Today is May 18th, and there is still one month before the Qingmu Conference. If nothing unexpected happens, the White Tiger Elder will definitely be trying his best to seize the position of gang leader at the Qingmu Conference. After that, there are even various forces supporting him to take over the position of the throne. Of course, this is not what Xiang Baiying Xiang saw.

Previously, Qi Ning always thought that the backer behind Elder Baihu was Ximen Wuhen. If so, the control of the Beggars' Sect would naturally be beneficial to the court. Although Qi Ning hated and even hated Elder Baihu as a human being, he could not turn the situation around, and in fact he did not suffer much damage to the court and himself.

However, after a close conversation with Longtai on the Qinhuai River, Qi Ning knew that there was someone else behind the White Tiger Elder, so he had to re-examine the matter.

Just now traveling to this world, Qi Ning's pursuit is very simple, I just hope to survive in this strange world.

However, as things went on, as Gu Qinghan came, Qi Ning had already carried the Marquis' Mansion on his shoulders. The little emperor had just ascended to the great treasure and valued him very much. Qi Ning was indeed willing to help the little emperor stabilize the overall situation. This was certainly for the friendship with the little emperor, but the more important reason was for his own future.

Since he came, he would be at ease. Qi Ning naturally knew such a simple truth. Now he has adapted to his new role in this world.

Qi Ning is already very clear about the situation of the court. To make himself free and easy to eat and wear, being a marquis is of course an excellent choice. To protect what he currently has, or even Gu Qinghan's safety, first of all, you must protect the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, and to protect the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, of course, you must bind yourself with the little emperor and make the position of the little emperor as stable as Mount Tai.

When occasionally thinking about the original intention of coming to the capital, Qi Ning couldn't help feeling guilty.

He pursued all the way from Huize City, originally to find Xiaodie, but what happened afterwards completely disrupted his plan. He took Xiaodie's escort team away and was robbed on the peninsula. Since then, Xiaodie was missing. Xiaodie was a refugee who was wandering. After the Qinhuai Battle, there were countless refugees and there was no way to check the household registration. Qi Ning didn't know where Xiaodie came from, and even where Xiaodie was going. Sometimes when I think of it, I could only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Xiaodie could escape the sea of ​​suffering.

The mission to the Eastern Qi Dynasty came out of Jianye Capital City in a mighty manner and began to head north.

When I went to Xichuan the previous time, I went there secretly, and I only brought a few followers from the Marquis' Mansion. This time, I went to Dongqi and followed two hundred Yulin warriors, which was much more majestic than the last time.

After leaving the capital, the excitement gradually faded from the beginning, and soon the whole body was replaced by green mountains and green waters, with white clouds and clear waters, high sky and clear clouds.

It was May, the climate was suitable, and the scenery was beautiful when you passed by. If it were funerals, many scenery could only be seen in tourist areas, but in this era, it could be seen everywhere.

The Ministry of Rites had planned the route of the mission in advance, and there were cavalry leading the way ahead. Qining was quite leisurely. On the way, occasionally passing by several villages and seeing a large group of people, the villagers would hide early to avoid disasters.

The Yangtze River is less than two days north of Jianye Capital. The journey is smooth, and it only takes a day to reach the riverside. After crossing the river, heading towards the northeast, the team is neither anxious nor slow. The leader of the guard Wu Dalin is a taciturn man, but he often turns from front to back, and the supervisory guard must not relax. Although Liang Xiong looks very rough, he is a cheerful and good at speaking. He occasionally jokes with Qi Feng and others on the way, and after only one day, he is already very familiar.

Although Hu Bowen was a civil servant, he was not weak and his horse riding skills were not bad. He had always been by Qi Ning. He obviously knew that the little Marquis of Jinyi was not clear about many diplomatic etiquettes and explained from time to time. In Hu Bowen's view, the wait for Jinyi to go on an envoy to Dongqi was only a symbolic meaning, and it was the court to express his sincerity to Dongqi. If he really wanted to deal with all kinds of things, he had to rely on his minister of the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter.
