After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

As she spoke, Xu Qingqing held up the jade pendant in her hand and gestured to Yuan Ye: "This is the token. When you see this jade pendant tomorrow, it means he is yours. You can follow him with peace of mind."

Yuan Ye nodded, but his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had a lot of thoughts in his mind. "I know, I will be ready."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she didn't rush to leave. She carefully sensed and confirmed that there was no one around. Then she sat down with peace of mind, moved closer to Yuan Ye, and asked in a low voice: "I still want to know, what is the secret you mentioned? I think the things that make you feel that your life is in danger must be very complicated."

Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly became deep. He looked at the closed window with a nervous expression. Seeing this, Xu Qingqing whispered, "Don't worry, there's no one around."

Yuan Ye finally relaxed and looked at Xu Qingqing's deep eyes, as if he could see through the darkness and see a more distant future.

“Are you really ready to hear it?”

"Of course." Xu Qingqing answered firmly.

Yuan Ye sighed, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "The current emperor may not be the descendant of the emperor, but the descendant of the northern barbarians."

Xu Qingqing's body shook violently, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes. "This...?!"

After a moment of shock, Xu Qingqing's mind emerged with the recent news from the Shadow about the Northern Barbarians' constant small movements on the northern border. Combined with some of the emperor's actions in recent years, Xu Qingqing felt as if the fog had been cleared and her eyes were brightened.

"I don't want to believe it either, but all the signs indicate," Yuan Ye said in a low voice, "this may be true... The northern barbarians are so brave! This is stealing the country!!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Ye's expression was angry, his eyes were blazing, and his tone was gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to devour the sinister northern barbarians into his stomach to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Xu Qingqing saw his expression and waited for a while until Yuan Ye had adjusted his mood before she slowly spoke: "According to my information and combined with the emperor's affairs in recent years, I guess the emperor has already noticed his origins and even knows his bloodline. It is very likely that he has begun to collude with the Northern Barbarians in an attempt to steal the country."

"After all, only in this way can he sit on the throne safely. Otherwise, given his bloodline problem, it would be enough to make him live in fear for the rest of his life."

When Yuan Ye heard this, he felt a chill in his heart, as if someone had poured a large basin of ice water over his head.

The various strange actions of that person, the loyal ministers who were constantly suppressed, the "treasonous" General Lu Zhenting, and the unusual movements of the northern barbarians, all these signs indicate that what Xu Qingqing said is almost true.

This……

The two looked at each other, with determination and worry in their eyes. They knew that this secret would cause a storm whether it was revealed or not.

After a moment of silence, Xu Qingqing stood up and prepared to leave: "See you tomorrow night."

Yuan Ye nodded and watched her leave. In the night, Xu Qingqing's figure disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if she had never been there.

After seeing Xu Qingqing off, Yuan Ye was alone in the room. He didn't expect that Xu Qingqing, the most famous business genius today, the boss of Lun Xiaoyao who made a fortune in Kyoto and even other places, was actually the Shen Qingqing of that year, who was also predicted by the national teacher to be a demon star that would bring disaster to the country.

Of course, the truth of this prophecy was also told by Shen's father in a letter. Out of understanding and trust in his friend, he believed that Xu Qingqing was a lucky star who could change the current world.

After all, according to his understanding of Shen Lingyun, if Xu Qingqing was really a demon star, given Shen Lingyun's character of loving his people like his own children, she would definitely not survive the day and would be killed by him personally.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ye let out a breath and recalled Xu Qingqing whom he had just met. Her eyes were clear and her reaction was quick. She was confident about rescuing him.

Thinking about Lun Xiaoyao's development and some of Shen's father's letters about Xu Qingqing's heroic deeds, Yuan Ye felt that perhaps this Xu Qingqing could really change the current corrupt court as a woman and lead the people of the world to a bright future.

The next day, Xu Qingqing got up early before dawn.

She sat in front of the window, staring at the scenery of Kyoto outside. There were few people on the streets in the early morning, but with the morning mist in the air, there was a unique hazy beauty of seeing flowers in the fog.

This kind of scenery will soon disappear...

Suddenly Xu Qingqing came back to her senses and slapped herself lightly. What was she thinking? Such scenery is everywhere. What is this about? !

All day today, Xu Qingqing acted as if nothing had happened. From day to night, Xu Qingqing lived a very peaceful life. Just when the people who were monitoring her thought that this was the end of the day, Xu Qingqing suddenly ran out quickly.

The person who was secretly monitoring him was startled and immediately followed.

Xiao Yuheng and Bao Bao were already on standby. Their eye contact was still full of sparks, but they both tacitly agreed to temporarily truce about what they were going to do soon.

after all……

No grudges or hatred can affect Qingqing's plan.

The two of them thought so, and they were in tacit understanding.

Xu Qingqing deliberately left some inconspicuous traces on the road, but those who were following her could find them with a little attention, and these traces were enough to make the followers follow her without suspicion.

These people were fooled. They followed the traces and chased Xu Qingqing all the way away, completely unaware that the real action had already been quietly unfolding in secret.

According to the plan, Xiao Yuheng will be responsible for quietly taking Yuan Ye's family away, and the baby will turn into a cloud and take them away from here without a trace.

Xu Qingqing's mission is to attract the attention of those secret monitors in the open and ensure that their actions are not discovered.

Xiao Yuheng and Bao Bao quickly arrived at Yuan Ye's residence and took out the jade pendant to indicate to Yuan Ye that they were the ones who came to save them.

Yuan Ye nodded. Mrs. Yuan and the children beside him were all confused, wondering what had happened that had forced the entire family to run for their lives.

But as a family, they share a common destiny. Since they can no longer stay in Kyoto, they are willing to give up their wealth and glory and follow their husband/father away.

Out of trust, when Xiao Yuheng said he wanted to knock them out, Yuan Ye did not refuse.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Xiao Yuheng stepped forward quickly. His technique was skillful and professional, and he quickly knocked out Yuan Ye's family to prevent them from being frightened.

The baby turned into a white cloud with a 'bang' and appeared lightly outside the window. It lifted up Yuan Ye's family steadily and flew into the sky.

Outside the mansion, a little boy was eating a candied haws in his hand. He looked up and saw a very strange cloud moving quickly not far away. He pulled the sleeve of his father who was on night watch, pointed at the cloud and asked, "Dad, what is that?"
