Their targets were Jing Guiren and Bai Chuxiao. Now that their targets had escaped, Wei Baichuan was in no mood to fight with the Feiyun Cavalry. Both armies rushed towards Yizhou vigorously.

The Yizhou garrison commanders nearby let them into the city without asking any questions, as if they had been warned in advance. Bai Chuxiao heaved a sigh of relief after leading Concubine Jing into Yizhou territory. Not long after, Yu Fengyang, Cui Hao, and the Feiyun Riders caught up with them.

As for Wei Baichuan and others who followed behind, they were stopped as soon as they reached the border of Yizhou. "Where did you come from? You are not allowed to enter the land of King Ping without permission."

Wei Baichuan said coldly, "Didn't the Feiyun Cavalry pass by in front?"

The general who blocked the way said, "What Feiyun Cavalry? I don't know them. They have the golden order from the late emperor, so they can pass."

Wei Baichuan gritted his teeth, suddenly remembering that Bai Chuxiao had only returned the imperial sword, and there was still a golden medal in his hand. The golden medal of Daxia had no power at all. First, he could not mobilize troops, and second, he could not save lives.

Besides, Emperor Wenxuan is dead, and Chu Tianling has already ascended the throne. What's the use of that sign? Can the spirit of the late emperor come to visit? Even if he can, what's the use? A new emperor chooses new ministers.

These people were clearly pretending to be stupid. Wei Baichuan said angrily, "How dare you! We are going to Zhenzhou to handle important matters under the order of His Majesty. Why don't you let us go?"

The leading general still refused to accept the suggestion. "Words are not enough. Without your Majesty's order, no other troops are allowed to enter Yizhou. You should retreat immediately, otherwise I will treat you as rebels."

Wei Baichuan's face turned pale. He set out directly. Where did the imperial edict come from? Besides, when he set out, Chu Tianling had not yet ascended the throne.

Showing the token of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Wei Baichuan said coldly, "I am the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I am indeed following the orders of His Majesty. You may as well inform Prince Ping. I am afraid you cannot afford to delay important matters." He did not believe that Prince Ping could still play dumb.

The leading general hurriedly said, "It turns out to be the Prince of Wei. I will report to the prince right away. Please wait outside the city for a while, Prince."

Wei Baichuan nodded coldly, and then whispered to a man in black behind him, "Hurry up and deliver the message to Fuzhou!"

They couldn't enter Yizhou for a while, but Bai Chuxiao and her team would eventually enter Fuzhou. Naturally, the soldiers in Fuzhou wouldn't dare to play dumb like Yizhou.

After entering the city, Bai Chuxiao drove the horse to a slow stop. Jing Guiren covered her chest and tried to suppress the nausea.

Bai Chuxiao slowly helped Concubine Jing down and asked worriedly, "Mother, are you okay?"

Lady Jing looked a little tired and pale, and nodded slightly.

Bai Chuxiao said to Zhan Chi, "Let's find an inn and rest for a night before leaving."

The cold wind is biting. If she continues to rush around in this weather, I'm afraid Lady Jing will fall ill.

After entering the inn, it was much warmer. After resting for a while, Concubine Jing regained a bit of radiance on her face. She slowly said, "Xiaoxiao, how long do we have to walk?"

Bai Chuxiao also drank some hot tea and said with a smile, "Mother, as long as we pass through Fuzhou and reach Zhenzhou, we don't have to worry anymore."

The Northwest is a vast area, but most of it is uninhabited. It is divided into three states: Dingzhou, Ningzhou, and Zhenzhou. The area of ​​each state is twice that of other states.

Now that the two countries are at war, Chu Tianze, as the commander of the Northwest, can command all the troops in the three states of the Northwest. Although the imperial garrisons in various places may pretend to obey, they will never dare to do what the Cangzhou army did.

Concubine Jing looked distressed and said, "Xiaoxiao, you have worked hard these days. It is your mother who has dragged you down."

Bai Chuxiao hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about, mother?"

Lady Jing had given up her own son for Chu Tianze's life, and had raised Chu Tianze with all her heart for so many years, always thinking about Chu Tianze. It was they who had let her down.

Lady Jing sighed slightly, "For so many years, I have always felt guilty. Your real mother is the legendary woman, not me..."

Bai Chuxiao quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, you are not the one who should feel guilty. There is no need to say such things anymore. Have a good rest tonight..."

Lady Jing held her hand tightly and said sternly, "Xiaoxiao, thank you... Tianze is lucky to have you..."

Since leaving Beijing, this was the best night for Bai Chuxiao and the others to rest. They had to thank King Ping for all this. However, King Ping couldn't delay for much longer.

Early in the morning, Bai Chuxiao helped Concubine Jing get on the carriage. After the group met up with the Feiyun Cavalry outside the city, they quickly headed towards Fuzhou.

……

A large and luxurious sedan quietly stopped on the road that Bai Chuxiao and the others had to pass. There were also several thousand elite soldiers guarding the sedan, which showed that the identity of the person in the sedan was extraordinary.

Bai Chuxiao gestured, and the Feiyun Riders behind him also stopped immediately.

Yu Fengyang and Cui Hao accompanied Bai Chuxiao to dismount and came to the luxurious sedan chair. Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Your Highness Prince Ping..."

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a rather elegant man in his thirties wearing a blue brocade robe came down with a smile on his face. He looked at the woman in front of him for a while before speaking, "The Princess of Yan is indeed as the rumors say."

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for this time."

King Ping smiled gently and said, "Seventh brother, you don't have to be polite. Although I don't have much contact with my seventh brother, over the years, my seventh brother has made the most contributions among the brothers. I admire him. If you don't mind, you can call me Third Brother."

Bai Chuxiao smiled, "Third Brother"

King Ping nodded with a smile, "That's right. I heard that my seventh brother married a princess who is also good at fighting. I was very curious. It's worth waiting here today."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Third brother is very insightful, which makes me and my sister admire him."

King Ping shook his head and said, "Now that my sixth brother has ascended the throne, I can't help you delay for long. I hope you don't blame my third brother."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "How could that be? I am already very grateful to you for helping me, Third Brother."

Prince Ping chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Please send my regards to the Concubine Dowager on my behalf."

Bai Chuxiao nodded slightly and bowed, "Third brother, goodbye."

The greetings were of course polite. The brothers didn't have much friendship, let alone Lady Jing. However, it was very kind of the King Ping to let them pass through.

Cui Hao and Yu Fengyang also bowed to King Ping. If it weren't for King Ping's help, they would be in big trouble.

King Ping waved his hand nonchalantly, returned to the sedan chair, and left leisurely under the escort of a group of elite soldiers.

Outside the city of Yizhou, the general who had gone to deliver a message to King Ping finally came back. "Prince Wei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Your Highness went to a villa in the suburbs to enjoy a drink and appreciate the snow, which delayed us for some time. I hope Prince Wei won't blame me."

Wei Baichuan said coldly, "How dare you? Is it possible that you will be allowed to go now?"

The general said, "Of course, Your Majesty, please."

Wei Baichuan led his men in pursuit towards Fuzhou with a gloomy face. After being delayed for so long, Bai Chuxiao and the others might have almost reached Fuzhou. Hopefully, they can still catch up.
