"All of you, please retreat. There is no need to wait for the king to eat today." Chu Han suddenly ordered.
"Yes." Shan Quan responded, and after beckoning the other servants to exit, he bowed, exited, and closed the door.
"Your Majesty, my servant is right outside. If you have anything to do, I can give you any instructions at any time." He stood outside and spoke out.
Chu Han sat at the table and poured himself a glass of fruit wine. Smelling the familiar aroma of the wine suddenly reminded him of the first time Xie Yao was drunk.
I was angry in the palace during the day, and when I returned home I came to settle the score with him, but unexpectedly I secretly drank his fruit wine and got completely drunk!
That was also the first time he discovered that Xie Yao actually had... such a side!
Recalling everything that happened at that moment, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised into a knowing smile.
This was the first time that he had been made so embarrassed by a woman.
Of course, this was also the first time he saw a woman who was drunk and wanted her relatives.
His dark eyes turned and fell on the jug of fruit wine in his hand, and he suddenly felt a little more expectant in his heart.
If Xie Yao takes another sip of Baiguo Liquor, I don’t know what it will be like, will she get drunk again, will she...
Xie Yao, you have been away from the capital for some time, and you have completely gotten rid of your pursuers. When will you send a message to the king to let him know your situation?
Don't you be so naive as to think that as long as you leave without saying goodbye, I will let you go?
I have said that you are my person in life and my ghost in death!
Even to the ends of the earth and the blue sky, I will never let you go there alone!
…
Prince Chen's Mansion.
Chu Ye had more official duties in front of him than before, and he spent more time in the study every day.
Feng Qing appeared and quickly walked into the study, with a solemn look on her face, "I'd like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the Emperor has sent several waves of people, all of whom are heading to the border. They may be related to Princess Han."
Chu Ye stopped moving his hands and raised his eyes solemnly, "Is the news accurate?"
"It's absolutely true. We still don't know the final destination of those waves of people. I've ordered people to investigate." Feng Qing bowed.
"Well done. Investigate this matter as soon as possible, and report it to the king as soon as possible after finding out." Chu Ye's eyes flashed with light.
"Yes." Feng Qing responded, "I have found out that those waves of people are almost all desperadoes. I am worried that they will be detrimental to Princess Han and the others. If there is an emergency..."
"Tell me to go down and protect Princess Han." Chu Ye's voice was low.
"Then... my humble guess is that General Xie and Xie Wenwu are most likely with Princess Han. If they are in danger..." Feng Qing stopped talking.
Chu Ye was silent for a moment, the light in his eyes was dim and deep. After a moment of pause, he said: "Everyone knows about General Xie's rebellion. As a prince, I naturally cannot help the evildoers and make my father unhappy."
"If we meet her, just treat her as invisible. I don't want Princess Han to hold a grudge against me."
"...Yes." Feng Qing responded.
"Back off." Chu Ye waved his hand, then felt a little uncomfortable and raised his hand to rub his temples.
"Yes, I resign from my post." Feng Qing saw the prince rubbing his temples and felt worried before retreating.
After Feng Qing went out, Chu Ye looked at the official work in his hands and suddenly lost the mood to continue handling it. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the boundless sky outside with a deep look in his eyes.
Is it the king's land in the whole world, and is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land? Xie Yao, I will find you sooner or later!
…
Borderland, a small village burned by fire.
Xie Yao and others took advantage of the shock of the gas cylinder explosion to completely throw away the pursuers and ran all the way here.
"Yao'er, let's take a break here temporarily." Old General Xie looked back and saw that the shadow of his pursuers had completely disappeared. Then his eyes fell on the face of Xie Wenwu, who was still sleeping. He was a little worried, "Wenwu's face
It’s worse than before. Moreover, he has been sleeping with no sign of waking up.”
Although Xie Wenwu was weak and very tired, he should not have reacted at all to such a big movement just now, and he had no intention of waking up at all.
Xie Yao saw her grandfather's worried look and quickly explained, "Grandpa, don't worry. I gave my brother medicine, so he stayed asleep. In the situation just now, it would be better for him to sleep."
After hearing this, General Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "I see. How long can the civil and military situation last?"
"There's still about a quarter of an hour left," Xie Yao said.
General Xie looked deeply and glanced at the house not far away that was not completely burned. "We will take a rest there temporarily. Later..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused. His old eyes were full of reluctance. He glanced in the direction of the capital, then gritted his teeth. The reluctance in his old eyes turned into determination, and said in a deep voice: "Later.
It’s time to head to the border!”
"As long as we cross the border, we are safe!"
Xie Yao was slightly startled.
leave?
Ever since she left Chu Han without saying goodbye, ever since she left the capital, she had thought about leaving Wanqi Country, but she didn't expect that it was her grandfather who first brought up the matter!
My grandfather spent his whole life in the army, and it can be said that he dedicated his whole life to the Wanqi Kingdom, even for future generations, without any reservation!
That is not only for Emperor Zhaochu, but also for the people of Wanqi Kingdom, for the sake of living and working in peace and contentment, for safety and health!
Now, not only is my grandfather being labeled as a rebel, but he is also forced to abandon the country he has dedicated his life to. How determined is this?
Even though Li Moli was mentally prepared, his eyes immediately turned red when he heard the old general actually say what he said!
"Old General, you..." As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't say another word.
General Xie took a deep breath, waved his hand to interrupt, his eyes flashed with breathtaking determination, "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind!"
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes are almost all over the Wanqi Kingdom. He is an old man. Even if he is captured, the worst he can do is die!
He has lived for decades and died without regrets, but Xie Yao and Xie Wenwu can't!
He cannot allow Xie Yao and Xie Wenwu to be in danger, so they must leave Wanqi Country and find another place to live!
He had already decided on this before preparing to rob the secret prison.
"Ten miles east from here, we will reach the territory of Dongao Kingdom. There are no spies there, and even if there are, we can kill them on the spot without worrying too much!" Old General Xie spoke in a deep voice, with deep calculation in his eyes.
"We will not stay in Dongao Country for a long time. The reason why we went there is to borrow a way to go to Nanling Country or Nanzhao Country. If we rush over in Wanqi Country, there is a great possibility of encountering pursuing soldiers again. We have civil and military personnel.
Now, we need a relatively quiet environment to heal, so it doesn’t hurt to take a long detour.”
At this moment, Xie Wenwu suddenly woke up. Although he was still weak, his voice was as solid as a rock and his eyes were cold, "No! Let's go to Dongao Country! I want to find out the news about the surprise attack that my father and I led.
