The White-haired Queen

Princess Qinghe's eyes flashed with determination, and she whispered, "Well, let's do it! I will write a long letter to my father now, telling him what I have seen, heard, and felt in the past few days, and expressing my determination and thoughts to go to the capital. Then, we will go to the capital together. No matter what difficulties and challenges are waiting ahead, I am willing to face them bravely. At worst, I will write to my father every day in the future to let him know about my life in the capital and share my joys and sorrows. In this way, even if we are in two places, my father will know that I am safe when he receives my words." After saying these words, Princess Qinghe smiled slightly, as if she had seen the beautiful appearance of the capital of Shangxie Kingdom.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to people.

Li Changqing, Princess Qinghe, and Tian Fangzhou's family set out for the capital early. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, but Tian Fangzhou had no time to appreciate it because he needed to take care of his family wholeheartedly. The safety of Princess Qinghe was left to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing was wearing a long green gown, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful. He followed Princess Qinghe closely, observing the movements around him with vigilant eyes. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very cautious in his heart and always maintained a high level of vigilance.

Princess Qinghe was wearing a gorgeous dress, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament. She walked lightly, like a fairy descending from the earth. However, despite being surrounded by beautiful scenery, she felt a little uneasy. She didn't know what kind of fate or surprise would be waiting for her when she came to Beijing this time.

During the long journey, Li Changqing and Princess Qinghe did not communicate much. But he always silently guarded Princess Qinghe, giving her endless sense of security with his firm figure. Princess Qinghe also gradually felt Li Changqing's careful care, and she became more dependent and grateful to him.

In this way, the group walked farther and farther away, heading towards the prosperous and bustling capital city.

At this moment, a group of ragged and haggard refugees suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the road and making it impossible for people to move forward. The refugees looked very destitute, but their eyes revealed a hint of cunning and greed.

The man standing in the front was a burly man with a face full of flesh, holding a worn-out sword in his hand. He stared at Li Changqing fiercely and shouted, "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay me money to get through!"

Li Changqing couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He widened his eyes and responded indignantly: "Why? This road is not yours!" Before he finished speaking, he quickly bent down and broke off a branch, then swung his arm hard and shot the branch towards the leading man like an arrow.

The branch flew rapidly in the air, with a sharp sound, and rushed straight towards the man. The man obviously did not expect Li Changqing to do this, and was a little panicked for a moment. He hurriedly dodged sideways, but was still rubbed by the branch on the cheek, and immediately a burst of burning pain came.

The leading man stretched out his fingers and gently touched the wound on his cheek, feeling the dull stinging pain. He couldn't help but spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and cursed: "Damn it! How dare you hurt me? You bastards are really tired of living! I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I cut you into pieces today! Brothers, come on together, kill them for me!"

Seeing the refugees coming like a surging tide and about to overwhelm them, Li Changqing opened his eyes wide, his hair stood on end with rage, and suddenly let out a deafening roar: "I wonder who dares to take action today?" His voice exploded in the air like thunder, shocking everyone.

At this critical moment, Li Changqing waved his arm, and another thick and solid branch appeared in his hand, and he shot it forward at lightning speed. The branch was like an arrow shot from a bow, breaking through the air with unparalleled momentum, as fast as lightning, making it impossible to defend against.

The thick and strong branch rushed forward like lightning, and shot straight at the knee of the leading man! In the blink of an eye, there was a dull "thump" sound, and the man was hit without any preparation. His body suddenly leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground like a cannonball.

What's worse is that because the incident happened suddenly and the impact was so great, he was completely unable to control his posture and balance, and finally fell to the ground in an extremely embarrassing and ridiculous manner - just like a dog swallowing feces!

This sudden change stunned everyone present, and there was total silence for a moment. Everyone stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, and they simply couldn't believe their eyes. The poor leader lay there with a face full of shame and pain, not knowing how to face such an embarrassing situation.

Li Changqing frowned slightly when he heard this, but still said firmly: "If you refugees are displaced due to natural disasters, you can go to Yue to seek help from the governor of Qi. Or you can go to the outskirts of Beijing and seek shelter in the Huoyan Mountain and the Black Water Mountain. However, if anyone dares to take advantage of the fire to rob and rob the property of the good people, I will never tolerate it and will punish them severely. Not a single one will be spared!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "How could they take us in?" This shout was like a stone thrown into the water, stirring up ripples and causing everyone to talk about it. People looked doubtful, and their eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.

At this time, Tian Fangzhou slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The paper looked a little old, but it had his own unique seal on it. He gently handed the paper to Li Changqing and said, "Take a closer look. If you think there is nothing wrong with it, put your seal on it as well."

Li Changqing carefully took the note and looked at it carefully. There were only a few words written on it: "If you encounter refugees on the road, please make sure to make proper arrangements."

Li Changqing took the seal decisively and pressed it down with force without any hesitation. He looked serious and determined at the people in front of him, and said solemnly: "Now, you need to elect a representative and let him hold this letter. As long as you have this letter as proof, no matter where you go to these three places, they will open their doors and warmly welcome and accept you." His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it injected a strong confidence and courage into everyone present.
