Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

For the whole night, Ling Qiyou fell asleep and was awakened by the nightmare again and again until dawn. Xiao Chuqian stayed up all night, trying to comfort Ling Qiyou, and at the same time sending someone to ask about it every half an hour. As for the situation outside, the imperial decree has been sent to all the gates leading to the southern country, but there is no news at all. Those southerners carrying small steamed buns seemed to disappear out of thin air. In the end, only in the Lingbei border area, did they find what Shen Lexin said. Xu Chongqing's body was also carried back after the fight on the ground.

"Don't wait any longer, tell me to go down, let's go directly to Southern Border."

Behind him, Ling Qiyou sat up from the bed at some point, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and his voice was hoarse, obviously he had heard what the boss and Xiao Chuqian reported just now, so he couldn't sit still at all I couldn't sleep anymore, so I called someone to help me get up, and said to Xiao Chuqian: "Go outside and ask someone to prepare, we will set off in a while."

Xiao Chuqian nodded, even though he was worried that Ling Qiyou's usual poor health would not be able to hold on after such a long journey, and wanted to say that he would stay in Jiangdong by himself, but he was still bloodshot when they met With worried eyes, he couldn't say anything when he reached his mouth. He could only turn around and go out the door to prepare as he said.

From Jiangdong to Nanjiang, you have to go through Lingbei and then over the Chongshan Mountains. Because you are traveling day and night, you will arrive in only seven or eight days. There is still no news about Xiaomantou, but Ling Qiyou is watching day by day. After enduring it, he stayed in a daze all day long without even saying a word.

The Dasheng court has nearly 20 troops guarding the southern border, and this is the first time the emperor has come to the border in person, although most people don't know that his majesty came to the border in person to find the prince who was kidnapped by the southern barbarians.

The news of the disappearance of His Highness the Crown Prince has not been disclosed to the outside world, so Ling Qiyou's appearance in southern Xinjiang, in the eyes of many people, it seems that the imperial court is about to formally declare war on the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

It's not that he didn't want to fight, the new hatred added to the old hatred, Ling Qiyou even wished to send troops directly to crush it right now, but with the little steamed bun in their hands, he didn't dare to act rashly.

On the third day after they arrived in southern Xinjiang, the Nanman garrison stationed at the border between the two countries sent a private message to His Majesty the Emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. In a simple sentence, his crown prince is in the southern country, and he wants to exchange it back, please He crossed the border alone and went to the South Army Camp.

At the same time, there was also the gold bracelet that Xiao Chuqian gave Xiao Mantou and put it on his hand.

Ling Qiyou stared blankly at the letter in his hand while pinching the bracelet, pursed his lips tightly and didn't know what he was thinking, Xiao Chuqian pounded on the table in a circle, obviously furious at the provocative behavior of the southerners.

Ling Jing took the letter from Ling Qiyou's hand and looked at it, and asked suspiciously: "In addition to the official gates, we also sent people to block those other passages. How did they bring the prince to the southern country?"

The secret passages that the soldiers and horses of the Southern Kingdom might cross the border between the two countries, Shen Lexin had already listed them all on the day Xiao Mantou was robbed, and Ling Qiyou immediately issued an imperial decree to send soldiers and horses to intercept them, and now the people from the Southern Kingdom sent The letter said that the little mantou had been taken to the southern country by them, but how it was done, it really cannot but be suspected.

"Maybe...some of their spies got into the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang, help them in private..." Shen Lexin said hesitantly, since that Lin Tan was able to sneak into the imperial court and get promoted, how many soldiers in Southern Border It seemed quite normal for a spy from the southern country to come in.

"Regarding this matter, we need to carefully investigate these generals in the army, and it is best to find out all the spies," Ling Jing said, paused, and asked Ling Qiyou: "Your Majesty really intends to hold them accountable?" Do you want to go to the South Camp?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Qiyou said slowly but firmly: "Go."

Shen Le said in his heart: "They want you to go to their barracks alone. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your hidden guards to follow. It's really dangerous for you to take risks by yourself..."

"That must go," Ling Qiyou interrupted him, and said calmly: "As long as I can save Xiao Mantou, no matter what, I will give it a try."

"I'll go with you," Xiao Chuqian interrupted, "You can't go alone, we will go together."

Ling Qiyou frowned slightly: "The letter said to let me go alone..."

"It's just that I'm one more, Xiao Mantou is also my child, besides, I think they would be more happy to see me throw themselves into the trap."

In that war that year, Xiao Chuqian led his troops to kill nearly [-] soldiers from the Southern Kingdom. How many people in the Southern Kingdom wished to swallow him alive, he almost didn't need to guess. Now that he went to the Southern Kingdom, he might have hit the target of those people It's just for the sake of Xiao Mantou and Ling Qiyou, he doesn't care so much now.

"If you go to the southern country like this, you probably won't be able to come back," Shen Lexin said helplessly to remind them: "Yuwen Minhao is not a person who keeps his promises, he took the buns and tricked you to the southern country, nine out of ten It is to take you all down, to negotiate with the Dasheng Dynasty, to force the Dasheng Dynasty to retreat and cede the territory..."

"I won't let him succeed," Ling Qiyou interrupted him again, and turned his gaze to Ling Jing: "If there is an emergency, I will ask the emperor to take care of the country of the Dacheng Dynasty."

"..." Ling Jing opened his mouth, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. What Ling Qiyou said meant that it was imperative, even if he tried to persuade him, it was useless.

"I'll go with you too," Shen Lexin said, "Since His Majesty has made a decision, I originally wanted to go back to the Southern Kingdom to find Yuwen Minhao to settle the account, and I will go with you."

"You are just one more person into the tiger's mouth. Yuwen Minhao is now the emperor of the Southern Kingdom. How can you win him?" Ling Qiyou reminded him that he and Xiao Chuqian went to save his son. As for Shen Lexin, he actually didn't I don't want him to disturb this muddy water again.

"Go to your place, I will follow you and sneak past," Shen Lexin said, "I am much more familiar with the situation in the southern country than you, they can't find me, if you have something, maybe I can find a way to rescue you .”

"You really decided?"

"En." Shen Lexin nodded, since he already knew, if he didn't go back and take a look, he would not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.

Seeing that he insisted, Ling Qiyou didn't say much, and just agreed. Seeing that the three of them were going to the southern country, Ling Jing became anxious: "I said..."

"You can't go."

Ling Qiyou and Shen Lexin spoke in unison, Shen Lexin said first: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you just stay here and take good care of our children, I will come back soon."

"But I..."

Shen Lexin insisted: "In short, you can't go, you stay, I will be distracted if you go, you are not familiar with the Southern Kingdom, your majesty is already in danger by going down, there is no need to take you as a feudal lord ...You don't have to worry about me, I promise you will come back alive."

Ling Qiyou continued: "From tomorrow onwards, I will be sick and never see anyone again, and I will decree that my uncle and General Dingnan here will take full control of the military power in southern Xinjiang. In addition, I will leave another secret decree. .”

"..." Being blocked by Shen Lexin and Ling Qiyou, Ling Jing didn't know what to say.

"Afterwards, when I go to the southern country to save Xiao Mantou, I will ask the emperor uncle to take full control of the affairs here. Don't leak the news to the outside world. If something happens to me, or if the people of the southern country threaten my life, the emperor uncle can not worry about me. Send troops directly, once I die, the emperor uncle can come up with a secret decree and ascend the throne to take over the country."

Hearing this, the few people present were stunned. They never expected that Ling Qiyou would make such a decision. In the past, he was always on guard against imperial power, especially Ling Jing, who never really trusted him. , and now he even took the initiative to draw up a secret decree, once he died, he would give up the throne to Ling Jing.

"I believe that Uncle Huang can carry the heavy responsibility of the country and the country for me."

Ling Jing recovered from the shock, and bowed to Ling Qiyou sincerely for the first time: "I respectfully abide by the imperial decree, and will definitely fulfill my duties, waiting for the early and safe return of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After Ling Jing and Shen Lexin left, Xiao Chuqian pressed Ling Qiyou's shoulders with both hands, looked straight into his eyes, and asked him: "Have you thought it through?"

Ling Qiyou said: "I am the father of Xiao Mantou, it is impossible to ignore his life and death, even if a moth flies into the flame, I will definitely save him, but I am also the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, I cannot abandon the country Regardless, I can't let the entire Dasheng Dynasty give in for me alone. I won't let myself become a bargaining chip for Nanman to threaten the court. If it really gets to that point, I will choose to die by myself. Uncle Huang is a capable person, he can do it. Good for the emperor."

Ling Jing is capable, Ling Qiyou knows that, Xiao Chuqian who has worked with him and went to the battlefield together knows even more, he just didn't have the heart at first, if you really give him this chance, he will definitely be able to take care of it This country, and it is precisely because of this that Ling Qiyou chose him. Even though he was afraid of him a lot in the past, for the sake of the country of the Dasheng Dynasty, he can only choose the most suitable person to take over this important task for him.

"Don't you regret it?"

"This is my own choice, no matter what the result is, I will not regret it."

The restless mood of more than ten days suddenly calmed down miraculously at this moment. At this point, there is no way out. It would be great if I could bring Xiao Mantou back safely, and the worst would be to die together with Xiao Mantou. He has already arranged the funeral, and he has no worries now.

Looking at his firm eyes, Xiao Chuqian also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, no matter life or death, I will be with you."
