Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Su Fu looks a bit like Su Mengjiao. He has a tall and straight figure and looks like a handsome gentleman, but his skin is a little too white.

"Your Majesty, I, Su Fu, greet you."

Su Fu bowed to Ye Chen, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen.

Facing Su Fu's gaze, Ye Chen turned over and dismounted.

"Are you Su Fu?"

Ye Chen looked down at Su Fu, and his first impression was that this man looked like a woman.

If this happened in later generations, the one who was superior would be a young handsome guy.

However, such a man does not meet Ye Chen's aesthetic standards.

In his opinion, it’s okay for a man to look like a woman, but if you don’t have any muscles and look weak, that’s not good.

"Your Majesty, this is what I have observed over the past few days."

Su Fu respectfully handed over a memorial.

This guy actually started using paper.

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

And it seems that this guy is Su Mengjiao's confidant, and this paper should have been given to him by Su Mengjiao.

Ye Chen took the memorial and looked at it carefully, his brows slightly furrowed.

"In the Qinling Mountains, there are not only the sound of people and horses, but also thick smoke rising from the sky all the time?"

"And there are piles of dry firewood and dead grass everywhere at the foot of the mountain."

Ye Chen's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he asked Su Fu, "What do you think happened in the Qinling Mountains?"

"Your Majesty, the Qinling Mountains were previously controlled by the Beijing Camp. Mining and livestock were being raised there, and all available land had already been utilized. Now that there's been this kind of activity in the Qinling Mountains, the only possibility is that new discoveries have been made there."

Su Fu's voice was a little hoarse, quite magnetic, and even had a hint of smoke.

"Su Fu, what do you think this discovery will be?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the terrain above the Qinling Mountains will not change. The area suitable for raising livestock is unlikely to increase. The only thing that can increase is mineral resources."

Su Fu said lightly.

This person always reveals a calm temperament unintentionally, as if he can remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

"You have a point."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

This is considered to be an acknowledgement of Su Fu's statement.

"But are the people in the Beijing camp ready to set fire to the mountain at any time?"

Ye Chen then asked again.

There is dry firewood stored everywhere at the foot of the mountain, which is very telling.

"Your Majesty, they must be trying to destroy the evidence. After all, once a wildfire starts, it's very difficult to extinguish."

Su Fu sighed softly, his tone filled with worry and helplessness.

After setting the mountain on fire, it would be very difficult to collect evidence.

"Ah."

Ye Chen then said, "Su Fu, do you have a topographic map of the Qinling Mountains? If so, bring it to me."

Hearing this, Su Fu immediately reached into his sleeve and took out a box.

"Your Majesty, the topographical maps of the Qinling Mountains are all here."

Su Fu was obviously well prepared. He expected Ye Chen to want the topographic map of Qinling Mountains, so he had already brought it with him.

Shen Qiu immediately took the box, opened it and checked it before handing it to Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, the area where the smoke is coming out and the area where the firewood is piled are already marked on this topographic map."

Watching Ye Chen unfold the topographic map and start browsing it, Su Fu said again.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Su Fu differently.

This is indeed a very capable person.

Unfortunately, this is Su Mengjiao's man.

Not Ye Chen’s own people.

"Sufu, you did a good job."

Ye Chen put away the topographic map of the Qinling Mountains, verbally praised Su Fu, and then said, "You continue to send people to observe the Qinling Mountains. Write down any unusual movements you find and send them to the palace."

"Yes."

Su Fu paused and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, you left the palace this time just to get the topographic map of the Qinling Mountains, didn't you?"

"Of course, there's more to it than that. I came here today to go up to the Qinling Mountains to see it for myself. My dear Su, I'll need you to pick me up when the time comes."

Ye Chen has brought enough people and doesn’t want to bring anyone else to Qinling Mountains.

As an official who is familiar with the conditions of the Qinling Mountains, Su Fu could wait at the foot of the mountain.

"Your Majesty, the situation above the Qinling Mountains is unclear and dangerous. It would be too dangerous for you to go directly up there. Moreover, all normal routes have been heavily blocked."

Su Fu frowned slightly and quickly advised.

"Haha, if I was really afraid of danger, I wouldn't come here."

Ye Chen shook his head, indicating that he had made up his mind.

"Then, Your Majesty, which route do you want to take to reach the Qinling Mountains? I want you to make some preparations early."

"You will follow me later. I also want to hear your opinion on whether it is safe to go up the mountain from that route."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

Although he knew that Murong Yan would not harm him, Murong Yan had never been to Qinling Mountains after all.

Su Fu had been to the Qinling Mountains, and he was definitely more familiar with the terrain of the Qinling Mountains than Murong Yan.

What Murong Yan couldn't see, Su Fu should be able to see.

"Yes!"

Su Fu was still a little worried.

But Ye Chen had already made his decision, and he could only do what he could.

Soon, Murong Yan came to the outside of the village on a horse.

Purple clothes and red horse.

Murong Yan put on the iron mask again, but still revealed her unique temperament and sexy and graceful figure.

Ye Chen also rode a horse and walked side by side with Murong Yan, like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

Behind Ye Chen, Su Fu saw Murong Yan and Ye Chen, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Ye Chen didn't notice Su Fu's unusual behavior behind him. He just chatted with Murong Yan.

He could feel that although Murong Yan was respectful and answered every question, there was always a sense of isolation in her words.

It seemed as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from him.

He didn't care about this.

If Murong Yan was really like the girls in the palace, who could be seduced by just a few words, it would be boring.

Ye Chen just likes this kind of challenge.
