The Four Concubines

"Minister, Chen Yuebin, governor of Pingcheng, see the emperor."

Yun Xiao helped Chen Wei out of the carriage, and heard the sound of Jing'an behind him.

Yun Xiao turned around, looked at the kneeling people behind her, and raised her hand, "Get up, it's a very good time, there is no need to salute."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Yuebin got up and saw Chen Wei standing beside Yun Xiao at a glance.

He narrowed his eyes and said hastily, "I have no way to discipline my daughter, and offended the emperor, please forgive me."

Yun Xiao looked at the sweaty head of the Pingcheng prefect in front of him, and didn't understand what he was afraid of. "The prefect Chen is serious. If it wasn't for the order to keep women from giving way to men, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come to support."

Chen Yuebin didn't answer this topic, but just lowered his head and bent his body, "Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, I have already tidied up the room in the prefect's mansion, please don't despise the humbleness."

Yun Xiao hadn't said anything yet, but Chen Wei made a move first, and made a blessing to Yun Xiao, without looking at anyone else, and walked into the prefect's mansion without looking back.

Yun Xiao blinked, are the father and daughter having a conflict...

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, it's all the minister who spoiled her daughter so much that she didn't understand the rules." Chen Yuebin knelt down again as he spoke.

Yun Xiao frowned, "Get up, didn't I say that you don't need to be polite. As for your daughter, compared to these small rudeness, she defended Pingcheng for Da Qin, which is a great achievement."

"The ministers don't dare to think about awarding rewards, I just ask the emperor not to blame the little girl."

……

Does the prefect of Pingcheng have persecution paranoia... I think I want to kill his daughter no matter what I say...

Yun Xiao only thought that he was timid and spared his life, so he stopped talking and asked the maid to guide her. Not only was her voice hoarse and her legs hurt, it felt really bad to put her foot on the iron.

When Yun Xiao passed by Chen Yuebin, he casually spotted a boy who was closely behind him. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with timid eyes. His gaze met Yun Xiao's suddenly, and he quickly shrank behind Chen Yuebin. , as if Yun Xiao would eat him.

Yun Xiao: "..." What's the matter with this family, the daughter leads the army to defend the city, and the cowardly father and son are almost paranoid about being persecuted.

What Chen Yuebin prepared for Yun Xiao was a small single-family house, not big, but well-equipped and clean.

Yun Xiao did not enter the house in a hurry, but gave No. [-] a task in the courtyard, "The rockets are used up, go prepare more, Shanping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you fight hard, you don't know how long it will take, and there are heavy crossbows , ask Chen Yuebin to help contact the craftsmen, or as in the capital, each craftsman specifies a part, and they are not allowed to touch the specific core."

Yun Xiao proposed this idea at the time not to hide his own interests, or to save their lives. These siege equipment will shine on the battlefield in the future, and at that time they will be targeted by various forces.

Just knowing one part can guarantee their life safety to a large extent.

"Ah, there is one more thing you need to prepare..."

After Yun Xiao gave orders to No. [-], and watched No. [-] jump over the wall and leave, he thumped his shoulder and planned to go back to the room to rest, but before he could take this step, Chen Wei came to the door.

"Your Majesty, have you rested?"

Yun Xiao raised her right eyebrow, sat down in the courtyard and responded, "No, come in."

Chen Wei pushed the door open and walked in. Yun Xiao noticed that she didn't come in immediately, but was slightly taken aback, her eyes flickered, and then hid all the reactions just now, and then walked towards Yun Xiao.

"Crack." Chen Wei put the tray in his hand on the table.

Yun Xiao smelled a sweet smell...

"No." Chen Wei pushed a small bowl of white fungus pear soup in front of Yun Xiao, "I was hoarse in the Pingxi army garrison just now, this soup can moisten the throat and reduce the fire, it is very suitable for you."

"Hehe." Yun Xiao looked at the smiling Chen Guipi and replied with a half smile, "Thank you."

Reaching out to take it, Yun Xiao looked at the bowl of sweet soup worryingly, felt the expectant gaze on the other side, gritted his teeth, and drank a small spoonful.

Chen Gui, who witnessed the whole process, gave Yun Xiao a white look, "Those who didn't know thought I was forcing you to drink poison. You look so ugly, but I did it myself."

Yun Xiao helplessly put the soup bowl back on the table, and said solemnly, "Thank you very much, Ms. Chen for washing her hands and making the soup. I believe that Ms. Chen will not be so stupid as to send a bowl of poison herself. I also trust my hidden guards." I will not let a bowl of poisonous soup be delivered to my eyes."

Yun Xiao curled her lips, "I just don't like sweet drinks, it's too boring."

She is an orphan. She grew up in an orphanage. She has a bad temper. No one wants to adopt her. Drinks were a luxury for her when she was a child. The dean would buy some for the children only during the Chinese New Year dinner Drinks, children like sweet ones, one year a few children secretly drank Chinese New Year drinks, and then put the blame on Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao couldn't argue with it, and the dean scolded her, saying that she was "unscrupulous". Change to lazy and greedy", Yun Xiao was powerless to refute, and since then, she has never touched sweet things.

Later, her academic performance was excellent, and she could have entered a particularly good school, but when the policy changed, Yun Xiao didn't even think about choosing a school that could waive her tuition fees and earn a scholarship, and left that place without looking back.

Yun Xiao stared at the soup bowl in a daze. She has been here... for four years. When she died, no one cared about her. She didn't know whether she was buried in the cemetery or her ashes were thrown into the sea. It can't be a cemetery, that place is so expensive...

Chen Gui looked at Yun Xiao in a daze, and quietly did not disturb her. She just felt a mild and long-lasting sadness from the people around her. It was not strong, but it lingered around her like a silk thread.

It was rumored that Emperor Qin Yunxiao was not favored by the emperor at first, and even the rebels who rebelled and slaughtered the entire imperial city did not know that there was such a prince in the imperial family, which shows what status he has in the palace.

"boom!"

A loud noise interrupted the two distracted at the same time.

Yun Xiao stood up with a "teng", she heard the sound of horseshoes outside, and... Guangxia language!

Did the people from Guangxia call in?

Impossible, Changsun Wuchen will definitely arrange for people to pay attention to Guangxia's movement at the first time, such an abrupt appearance...

Yun Xiao frowned, listening to the movement outside, her thoughts changed sharply.

"This... the sound of horseshoes seems to be getting closer." Chen Wei's expression turned ugly.

Yun Xiao grabbed Chen Gui's arm, led her into the inner room, and said in a hurried tone, "Listen well, the target of the other party should be the prefect's mansion, you hide inside and don't make a sound, the hidden guards will protect you, tell me Grandson Wuchen, pay attention to Guangxia's movements, don't take the initiative to attack, only attack but not defend, defend Pingcheng well, don't let the people in the palace worry, if the hidden guards haven't contacted me for more than a month, then lead people to attack Shanping Pass, secretly David will help him."

Yun Xiao pushed Chen Wei into the house and was about to close the door. Chen Wei realized this and quickly pushed against the door. Although Yun Xiao's words were inexplicable and abrupt, she understood the content. Yun Xiao wanted to take the initiative to send herself to the door.

"You're crazy, they're going to kill you!" Chen Wei pressed against the door with a sharp voice.

"No!" Yun Xiao replied bluntly, "Shanping Pass is the only passage, Changsun Wuchen has already sent someone to watch, these Guangxia people came in through other channels, I have to find this channel, this Very important."

Yun Xiao listened to the commotion outside, looked at Chen Yu and said seriously, "You have to trust me, and you also have to trust yourself, keep Pingcheng well!"

"Dark guard!"

Yun Xiao said again.

Two black figures appeared out of thin air, Yun Xiao didn't bring many people this time, most of them were taken away by No. [-] just now to complete what she explained, so that now only two people are left with her. people.

"One follows Chen Wei and must protect her safety. What happened here and what I said was relayed to General Changsun. The other followed me carefully."

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty!"

The secret guard, who had always only followed orders and didn't beep much, opened his mouth this time for the first time, obviously feeling that Yun Xiao's safety was not guaranteed.

"Do as I say!" Yun Xiao snapped.

The hidden guards did not open their mouths and had a clear division of labor. One jumped into the inner room and closed the door, and then disappeared in an instant.

"boom!"

The door was roughly pushed open, and a dozen burly men rushed in.

Yun Xiao looked at their clothes, they were indeed Guang Xia's clothes, but they were not soldiers' clothes.

"Who are you!" Yun Xiao asked sharply.

Several Guangxia people looked at each other, and finally looked at the leader of the man. The man's face was fleshy, his eyes were fierce, and his skin was dark and dry due to the wind and sand all year round.

The man looked back and forth at Yun Xiao's body, and when he saw the lines on Yun Xiao's clothes, his eyes widened and he stared at Yun Xiao in disbelief.

Yun Xiao stood there calmly, seeing the person's expression, he should have recognized his identity, it's strange, they obviously came straight here, didn't they know that they were here in advance?Who was their original target?The owner of this yard?

After explaining to the people around him, the man drew out his weapon and walked towards Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao tightly clenched his fists behind his back, biting his teeth to prevent himself from showing timidity. She is the emperor of Daqin. If she shows timidity at this time, then It is the shame of Daqin.

"Hmph." The man snorted softly, gestured to Bi Yunxiao with his head, and gestured outside with the weapon in his hand.

Yun Xiao frowned, and walked out.

These people would not have prepared any carriage for her. Yun Xiao was laid across the horse like a prey. The big men exchanged a few words with each other in Guangxia and got on the horse one after another. It seemed that they were about to evacuate.

Yun Xiao's stomach was pressed against the horse's body, and the horse only ran a few steps, and Yun Xiao felt that his internal organs were about to be knocked out.

Suppressing the discomfort, Yun Xiao tried to recognize where the gang of thieves were going to retreat, but the feeling of hanging upside down on the horse was too uncomfortable, Yun Xiao only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars, and passed out.

……

When Yun Xiao woke up, the sky above her head was completely dark, and she was already under the horse with her hands tied behind her back, leaning against a tree. This place seemed to be a small oasis, with a few trees around and a little green on the ground. A fire was burning in the middle, and a dozen big men were sleeping soundly around the fire.

Yun Xiao moved her somewhat numb leg, and the people at the side turned their eyes when they heard the movement here, Yun Xiao also subconsciously looked over, and recognized that it was their "leader", it seems that he is the night watchman tonight .

The leader watched Yun Xiao, who was already awake, get up, took off a water bag from the horse, fed Yun Xiao a few mouthfuls, then left her alone, and returned to the place just now to rest.

It seems that it is specially waiting for her to wake up.

After a while, there was only the crackling of the fire, and the night in the Gobi was really beautiful. The bright moon above seemed to be bigger than before. Stars covered the entire night, and the gravel on the ground was reflected silver by the moonlight.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of miles of silver sand.

To Yunxiao's surprise, she saw Shanping Pass on her right rear. The towering Shanguan Pass was so iconic. Seeing Shanping Pass meant that she was already outside the pass. These people should not be Come out from the pass, otherwise the generals of Guangxia would not have detained themselves.

Sure enough, there are other paths.

Yun Xiao thought about it, and continued to move her head slightly, hoping to let the hidden guard in the dark find her, although she didn't know if the hidden guard followed up.

Just when Yun Xiao turned his head back and forth, a hand was abruptly placed on Yun Xiao's shoulder.

For a moment, Yun Xiao felt that his adrenal glands were going to explode, but he immediately realized that this was a hidden guard, and slowly suppressed his emotions.

The hidden guard is there, although the way of appearance is a bit scary, but fortunately, the tracking technology is excellent.

Yun Xiao tilted her head back indiscriminately, speaking with breath without making a sound, "Have you written down the way out?" Yun Xiao spoke slowly, for fear of waking up others.

"En." The dark guard's answer was light and simple.

"Go tell No. [-], let him send someone back to tell Zhangsun Wuchen, and divert some people from that road. Hide it well."

Yun Xiao couldn't speak too clearly, but just told the essentials.

The dark guard hesitated a bit, but he still responded and left quietly...

At dawn the next day, Yun Xiao was woken up by someone. It was still the leader. Seeing Yun Xiao woke up, he untied the rope from her hand and gave her a water bag and a piece of dry bun.

Then he left on his own to tidy up the things on the horse's back, as if he wasn't worried that Yun Xiao's would run away at all.

There is really no need to worry, this is the Gobi, even if she runs away, where can she go?
