"Your Majesty, please send someone to take me to Yuzhou."
Luo Qingzhi's voice was very soft, but Gao Yan knew that this sentence was not a discussion, but a decision.
"No." Gao Yan refused, "Yuzhou is now the front line, it's too dangerous."
Luo Qingzhi smiled, "In the past ten years, every time I go to the battlefield, it is dangerous. Your Majesty has never stopped me. Is it because I am a useless person now..."
Gao Yan didn't answer and shouted to the door: "Yuan Ying."
Commander Yuan opened the door and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Send Concubine Shu back to the palace."
Concubine Shu left the room noisily.
Gao Yan stepped forward, took off the gauze from Luo Qingzhi's eyes, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Luo Qingzhi had no reaction.
Gao Yan sighed, "Aluo, I can't let you go."
Luo Qingzhi said: "Your Majesty, attack me with all your strength."
"What do you mean?" Gao Yan didn't understand.
"I'm proving that I can." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Yan has been learning martial arts from Luo Huaiyi since he was a child. If he wasn't poisoned, his skills must be above Luo Qingzhi's.
He hesitated for a moment, and then started to take action under Luo Qingzhi's urging.
Looking at Luo Qingzhi's flowing movements, he realized that in this short period of time, she had already improved her positioning by listening to sounds to a higher level.
Gao Yan stopped and said, "Okay, I'll let you go."
Luo Qingzhi said: "Your Majesty, before I leave, I want to know the truth."
"What?"
Luo Qingzhi asked: "Eunuch Huang's origins and your relationship with Mu Wanning."
Gao Yan turned his back and asked, "How much do you know?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "I know that Eunuch Huang had a child before entering the palace."
"What else?" Gao Yan asked.
"...Others are just some guesses." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Yan turned around. Even though he knew Luo Qingzhi couldn't see, he still didn't dare to look into her eyes. He just looked at her face and said, "What is your guess?"
Luo Qingzhi was not ambiguous and said directly: "You know the whereabouts of Eunuch Huang's child."
Gao Yan still avoided her gaze and said slowly: "At that time, I was still in the palace, and Huang Si came to me. At first, I didn't know that he had a child. It wasn't until the great cause was decided that he entered the palace with me.
A man needs castration before he tells me the truth."
"Later, he asked me to give the boy a way out, so I sent him to the military camp. The boy was also very impressive, and he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. He was granted the title of waiting before he was thirty."
Luo Qingzhi thought back to the young generals in the major military camps. There were not many who were under thirty, and even fewer had titles.
Seeing her deep in thought, Gao Yan told her the answer directly, "I sent that child to Yizhou."
"It's the adopted son of General Mengba!" Luo Qingzhi was a little surprised, but suddenly felt that everything became reasonable.
"So, General Meng, are you seeking justice for your father?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
She asked again: "Then, where is Eunuch Huang?"
"..."
Not getting an answer from Gao Yan, Luo Qingzhi clenched her fist with her left hand and asked calmly: "When did it happen?"
Gao Yan said: "After you went to Ningzhou, he threw himself into the well."
Luo Qingzhi touched the edge of the table and slowly sat on the chair, "The source of everything is me."
Gao Yan stretched out his hand to touch her head, but as soon as it touched her hair, he pulled back.
"Arlo, if it's not you, it could be someone else."
Luo Qingzhi sighed deeply and said: "The war will end with war. Your Majesty, please send me to Yuzhou."
"......good."
Gao Yan said: "Luo Chen just happened to be back. I asked him to accompany you and then allocate the forbidden army to you."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "It's fine for Luo Chen to accompany me alone. Although there are civil servants in Jinling City, the Imperial Army is here to protect you, so I feel more at ease."
.”
Gao Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
When night fell, Gao Yan sent Luo Qingzhi out of the city, and Luo Chen opened the curtain of the carriage.
Luo Qingzhi said: "The carriage is too slow, please ride a horse."
Luo Chen frowned, "Master, your eyes."
"You run ahead and tie our horses together with ropes." Luo Qingzhi said.
Luo Chen subconsciously looked at Gao Yan, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he started to take action.
Gao Yan walked up to Luo Qingzhi, held her hand, and said gently: "Aluo, your life is more important than anything else, do you understand?"
"..." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I understand."
Everything was ready. Taking advantage of the darkness, two fast horses walked through the forest.
At dawn, the two arrived at Lujiang County, Yizhou.
Luo Chen helped Luo Qingzhi dismount, "Master, let's take a rest here and change horses by the way."
"good."
Luo Chen took Luo Qingzhi into a restaurant, handed over tea and meals, and went to the racecourse to change horses.
The waiter first brought tea and asked politely: "Where did your guest come from?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "Jinling."
The waiter was surprised at first, and then lowered his voice and said: "Then you have traveled far enough, but don't go further south. The imperial court is about to start a war in Wuchang County... Hey,
I don’t know if Lujiang can be saved..."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "Aren't you leaving?"
The waiter smiled and said, "I am just an ordinary citizen. No matter who comes, I will bow down and be the king. As a human being, I am always the best alive."
The person at the next table called the waiter, and he quickly went over to say hello.
Luo Qingzhi was drinking tea from her cup when the voices from the next table came over.
"No, I heard that the rebels have already reached Wuchang, which is just across the river from us. Should we prepare for it?"
"No need. The Pingbei Army is so powerful. For so many years, we haven't seen anything happen in Yuzhou."
"But isn't Princess An Ning treasonous?"
"It's impossible. What kind of person is the princess? She wouldn't do such a thing."
"But...I heard that the rebels' talismans were all given by Princess An Ning..."
Luo Chen came back and said, "Master, the horses have been changed, and we can set off after we eat something good."
Luo Qingzhi said loudly: "Okay, we will drive all night and reach Wuchang County before noon tomorrow."
"Wuchang County?" The people sitting next to me were a little surprised, "What are you doing in Wuchang at this time?"
Luo Qingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Let's go fight."
"A war? You little girl, don't stir up trouble."
"How dare you disrespect the princess," Luo Chen shouted loudly.
The man chuckled, "What a princess, even if Princess An Ning comes, I won't be afraid."
Luo Qingzhi said gently: "Really?"
The sudden pressure made the man take a step back.
The waiter immediately knelt down.
"Common people, please pay homage to Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
When one person did this, the others also knelt down.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Everyone, please rise. I know that now that there is a war in Wuchang, everyone is murmuring in their hearts. However, I swear here, I, Luo Qingzhi, will not only protect Lujiang and Wuchang, but also Jiangzhou and Ningzhi."
The state takes it back."
Some of the people present were excited, some were skeptical, and some ignored it, but everyone knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.
"The princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Luo Chen shook his head slightly, put down his silver, and bought some sesame cakes from the roadside.
"Princess, the morale is enough, we have to leave."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."
The two made a high-profile appearance in Lujiang, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
At midnight, by the Yangtze River, Luochen stopped
He helped Luo Qingzhi get off the horse and said, "Master, across this river is Wuchang County."
Luo Qingzhi estimated the time and asked, "Is it already dark?"
"Yes."
Luo Chen asked: "Would you like to sleep in the open all night and wait until dawn before crossing the river?"
Luo Qingzhi was a little hesitant. According to the original plan, she should cross the river tomorrow.
"Is anyone following you along the way?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"Not really." Luo Chen shook his head.
Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and made a decision, "Find a secluded place and don't light a fire. We will make do with it for one night and cross the river at dawn."
"yes."
Following the instructions, Luo Chen found a place with the deepest weeds, leveled the weeds in the center, spread a straw mat as a bed, and brought Luo Qingzhi over.
"Master, sit down, it's safe here."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Luo Chen chuckled, "No hard work, this is what subordinates should do."
"It's safe now. You can sleep for a while and I'll watch over you." Luo Qingzhi said.
"How is it possible!" Luo Chen refused, "How can I let the master come to watch the night?"
Luo Qingzhi explained, "It's not yet deep at night, so it's the safest time. You should seize the time to rest. If anything happens in the second half of the night, it will all be up to you."
"...Okay, I understand."
After persuading Luo Chen, Luo Qingzhi came to the upwind, sat cross-legged and meditated, paying attention to the movements around her.
An hour later, Luo Chen woke up and came to Luo Qingzhi's side immediately.
"Master, you go and take a nap, I'll watch over you."
Luo Qingzhi said: "It's only for an hour, you can rest for a while."
Luo Chen was about to speak, but Luo Qingzhi told him to silence.
She turned her head away, listened for a while, and sighed slightly, "It seems that we can't even rest."
Luo Chen also heard the movement not far away.
"Master, let me go and take a look first. Maybe they are not looking for us."
Luo Qingzhi nodded.
After a while, Luo Chen came back and said: "Master, please be patient, you are not here to find us, you are the fishermen who are here to catch fish."
Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then take some money and ask if you can use their fishing boat to send us across the river."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour later, Luo Chen came back, "The boatman said it's too late now and we still have to wait for dawn."
"Okay, it's okay, just wait."
Luo Chen swept away the dust on the mat and said, "Master, please take a nap."
Luo Qingzhi stopped giving in and slowly lay down.
She was lying on the mat, and when she turned over, she hit a stray weed, which happened to scratch her neck. She touched it, and thought of what Gao Zhen said in Ningzhou.
"Before there is any news, I will come back to you."
Now the traces are really disappearing, and they are indeed about to meet.
However, it's not about returning to someone's side, but meeting each other in war.
