Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuoqing thought that if he didn't say anything, Baili Qing would calm down, but he underestimated the madness of a woman when she was angry. Seeing that he didn't say anything again, Baili Qing stretched out her fist and hit Xiao Zuoqing.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Xiao Zuoqing stretched out her hand to block Baili Qing's fist. Although she was a woman, she was really ruthless when she was angry. Some of the blows really hurt Xiao Zuoqing.

"Almost done!"

Just as the two were struggling, a sharp arrow pierced through the car and was firmly nailed to the inner wall. Baili Qing was so scared that she finally stopped, and then she screamed.

Xiao Zuoqing was also frightened. He just stuck his head out, but saw several men in black appearing outside and fighting with the imperial guards. He hurriedly put his head back.

"Someone wants to kill me!"

Xiao Zuoqing's first reaction was this sentence. He looked at Baili Qing who was standing beside him. Her eyes were still fixed on the arrow. Xiao Zuoqing turned his head and saw the word "Tai" engraved on the end of the arrow. It was an arrow used exclusively by the army.

"Someone in the military?"

But Xiao Zuoqing didn't have time to think about it, as the sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer, and someone was even kicked and hit the carriage.

Xiao Zuoqing's immediate reaction was to run away. He looked at the arrow and wanted to pull it out as evidence. But the arrow was firmly nailed to the car, and Xiao Zuoqing pulled it several times before he could pull it out.

"What are you going to do?"

Baili Qing was very puzzled when she saw Xiao Zuoqing holding the arrow in his hand. Moreover, she was so nervous that she couldn't think at all.

"Run!"

Xiao Zuoqing didn't care about that, he just pulled her up and ran out of the car. The fight outside the car was fierce, although the black-clothed men were good at fighting, the imperial guards had more people and could hold them back for a while.

The two abandoned the carriage and ran all the way to the woods. After running for an unknown amount of time, Baili Qing could no longer run, and she was wearing a long skirt, so she accidentally tripped and fell.

Xiao Zuoqing was pulled by the fallen Baili Qing and sat down. He subconsciously supported the ground with his right hand, and was cut by the gravel on the ground.

"I told you not to wear such a troublesome long skirt. It can't even save your life!"

Baili Qing felt very painful when she fell to the ground, and her nerves were tense. Now, after hearing what Xiao Zuoqing said, she felt wronged and burst into tears. Xiao Zuoqing was overwhelmed again when he heard the crying.

"Alright, alright, stop crying! If you keep crying, those men in black will catch up with us!"

But these words were of no use, Baili Qing still sat on the ground and cried loudly.

Xiao Zuoqing saw that she was playing tricks, so he simply ignored her and turned away.

"If you like crying so much, just stay here and cry!"

Sure enough, Xiao Zuoqing had just taken a few steps and was about to disappear around the corner when Baili Qing finally reacted. He really walked forward without looking back! Baili Qing immediately fell silent, stood up from the ground and ran in the direction where Xiao Zuoqing was walking. As soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into someone's arms. He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Zuoqing.

Baili Qing felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red.

"Hey! Stop crying! If you cry again I won't care about you anymore!"

Xiao Zuoqing was scared. Fortunately, the man in black didn't chase them, otherwise they would be really finished.

Baili Qing nodded twice vigorously. She was really afraid that Xiao Zuoqing would abandon her, so she bit her lips and remained silent.

"Alright, alright, it will all pass. What matters now is staying alive!"

Xiao Zuoqing comforted her and took her hand and walked forward together. Not far ahead, they could see a farmer's house. They went to ask for two bowls of water, asked for directions and routes, and continued on their way.

"Where are we going?"

Baili Qing asked

"North Gate."

"Are we still going to guard the imperial mausoleum?"

Baili Qing was puzzled. They had already escaped, so why did they have to go?

Xiao Zuoqing seemed to see her confusion and explained.

"Nian Qing is still in the palace, we must go and guard this imperial mausoleum. Don't worry, I have the imperial edict and official seal with me, the officials at the North Gate will recognize me. You know Chu Yao, he is from the Shenyin Pavilion, when we find him at the North Gate, we will be safe."

"You mean, the man who is always with King Yun is from Shenyin Pavilion? But... your relationship with King Yun is not the same as before, will he help you?"

"First of all, I have no grudge against my Sixth Brother, and I have never harmed him. Secondly, I don't need him to help me with anything, just save my life, which is also their mission."

"What mission?"

Baili Qing felt that she was increasingly unable to understand what Xiao Zuoqing was saying.

"Don't worry about it. Just listen to me and relax. We'll travel during the day and sleep well at night. Don't worry about the money. Let's get to Beiguan as soon as possible and feel at ease."

Although Baili Qing didn't know what Xiao Zuoqing's plan was, she could only listen to him now.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

So the two changed their clothes into those of ordinary people. Although Baili Qing was disgusted, she did not dare to say anything. The two quickly came to Beiguan according to the original plan. However, after entering Beiguan, Xiao Zuoqing first paid people to spread the news that the King of Qing would arrive at Beiguan the next day, and then rented a carriage to leave the city with Baili Qing that night. On the morning of the next day, the two changed back into official uniforms that symbolized their status, and hung a wooden sign on the carriage with the word "Qing" written on it, and the two entered the city like this.

Sure enough, this "high-profile" appearance made passers-by stop and take notice.

"Look, it's the Qing King's carriage!"

"Is the Prince of Qing really here to guard the imperial mausoleum?"

"It looks like it's real~"

"..."

While everyone was talking, the carriage of the King of Qing stopped. Everyone saw a man and a woman in official uniform standing outside the carriage. The man was not as fat and big-eared as imagined, and the woman was not as voluptuous and exaggerated as imagined.

The first impression that the Qing king and his wife left on the people was extremely good.

"Dear people~"

Xiao Zuoqing suddenly spoke.

"Because the late emperor passed away, this prince and his wife came to the imperial mausoleum to mourn for his father. This is the first time for this prince to come to Beiguan, but I heard about the generosity of the people of Beiguan when I was in Tai'an City. In addition to mourning, this time, we can also experience the customs and habits of Beiguan, and supervise whether the officials of Beiguan are loyal to their duties. If you have any injustices in the past, you can tell me one by one!"

Xiao Zuoqing's words instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the people. It is said that the emperor is far away from the mountains. Although the people of Beiguan are generous, they can't get along with the officials transferred from other places. Many things are handled in a mess. Now that the King of Qing has spoken, the people naturally want to have a good talk with the King of Qing.

But just as the people were about to speak, Princess Qing spoke first.

"Your Highness, this idea is good, and I fully support it. However, it is still early now, and most people are out shopping and waiting to go home to make lunch. In my opinion, it is better to set up a desk at the entrance of the mansion, so that everyone can go back and think carefully about any grievances that need to be reported, sort out their thoughts, write them down on paper, and place them on the desk. Let someone look after it, so that everyone can save time and not speak blindly here."

"Well, Princess, this is very good!"

"Okay! We will listen to the princess. Everyone go back and tell others. Prince Qing and Prince Qing are here to make the decision for us! Everyone, think carefully about what grievances you have to say!"

"Great! Great!"

Everyone ran around telling each other, and Baili Qing returned to the car and looked at Xiao Zuoqing with disgust.

"That's great. I'm going to be annoyed to death by these people every day from now on!"

Xiao Zuoqing disagreed.

"You have to think differently. Now that we have come to Beiguan with great fanfare, everyone knows about it, and the person in the palace won't dare to act rashly.

And do you know why Xiao Zuoming dared to release me but not Xiao Zuochen?"

"why?"

"Because Xiao Zuochen has his own power, and I don't. So I have to take advantage of this moment to win over my own power.

Beiguan is the first step!"
