Northern Territory, Royal Palace.
Xiao Han and Xiao Yi hid on the roof of the Queen Mother's palace, secretly observing the situation inside the house.
"Your Majesty, how is the war situation now?" The Queen Mother looked a little unhappy, as if she was angry.
The Emperor of the Northern Territory was also a little displeased, "The treasure in Fuhu Mountain has not been found. We are not as advantageous as we were at the beginning. We don't have enough troops."
"Why is it not enough? I heard that Daqing only has 200,000 troops. Even if that King of Jingnan helps, there are only more than 200,000 troops. Our military strength is still far higher than his. Why is it not enough? "
"Mother, the battlefield is not as simple as you think. The Su family's army has been guarding the border for many years. Why doesn't any country dare to invade? It's because of the power of the Su family's army. Although we have stronger troops than them, we lack experience and have no confidence in winning."
The Queen Mother looked troubled, "Does that mean we have to find the treasure from the previous dynasty?"
Something flashed quickly in the eyes of the Northern Emperor, and his voice was a little low, "Mother, did he ask you to ask me?"
The Queen Mother looked a little embarrassed, "No, the Ai family is also concerned about it. After all, fighting requires money and soldiers."
"There is no need to worry about this Queen Mother. We have been preparing for it for many years and there is no problem at all."
"Then..." The Queen Mother looked confused.
"The queen speaks out when she wants to speak out. There is nothing that we, mother and son, cannot say between us."
"Hey, he's in a hurry."
"Is he anxious? Huh! Queen Mother, don't forget our plan, and don't forget your identity. Don't make it real."
The Queen Mother's face froze, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could the Queen Mother do this and suffer so many grievances, but it's all for the Emperor's sake. The Emperor must understand the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts. "
The Emperor of the Northern Territory sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, "As long as the queen understands, we have a relationship of mutual use with him. My father is the late emperor of the Northern Territory, not him. The queen must remember it clearly. It's fake. It's all fake after all, and acting can't be taken seriously. Once I get what I want, I won't be able to keep this person."
If it weren't for the value of his use, how could the Northern Emperor keep this man for so many years? He clenched his fists, such a dirty and dark relationship.
The Queen Mother looked at the silent emperor and did not dare to speak. This emperor was becoming more and more difficult to figure out. Even her biological mother was afraid of him...
Xiao Han and Xiao Yi looked at each other on the roof and left quietly.
Xiao Han, who was dressed in night clothes, was sitting in the house without changing his clothes, and his face was gloomy.
"Master..." Xiao Yi looked a little anxious. How could his master be so calm with such a shocking secret.
Xiao Han waved his hand, "How many people are there on our side?"
"There are still seventeen people available."
"Is there anyone who hasn't shown their face?"
"Five people."
Xiao stared at the cups in front of him, "Send them all out and check them out bit by bit for me."
"Yes, but..." Xiao looked confused.
"explain."
"Even if we send all our people out to find out such secrets, we may not be able to find out anything."
"Whatever is found is what is found."
"I understand." Xiao Yi immediately turned around and went out.
Xiao Han looked at the table steadily, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then sighed for a long time. Looking at the moon outside the window, I don't know where Yue'er is now. She has to go back to Baiyun Mountain, so she probably won't go to the border so soon. Unconsciously, he touched the jade pendant around his waist. He had to speed up.
*
Su Yue and his party arrived at the town at the foot of Baiyun Mountain within a few days. Xuan Xiaosi was excited again, hehe, he, Hu Hansan, was back again.
"Xiao Wu, little senior sister, here you go, candied haws on a stick. Grandpa's candied haws on a stick is the most delicious."
The ghost girl took it and said, "Wow wow wow, it looks delicious, and there are sesame seeds on it."
Su Yue hasn't eaten for a long time, but she misses it very much.
Emperor Wu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, his eyebrows relaxed, "It's quite lively."
Zhang Fu also rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace, and he was very excited at the moment, "Yes, Your Majesty, I haven't left the palace for many years. This...hehehe, I am happy to see it."
"You? Humph, you old man, don't think that I don't know that you take one day off every month to go out for a walk."
"Hey, old slave...Old slave..."
"Okay, if you can't think of a reason to quibble, don't even think about it."
"Hey, hey, thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor glared at him again, looking at the little man riding a horse in front of the carriage eating candied haws, his eyes suddenly full of love, "Go, buy all the candied haws and give them to Yue'er."
Someone outside the carriage immediately responded, "Yes."
Soon, Su Yue received a bunch of candied haws, and the guard even carried other people's bamboo poles. Su Yue had a black line on his head and looked back at the Emperor Wu who was smiling stupidly. It was really weird. Know what to say.
"So many candied haws? Brother, don't you know that eating too much sweet food is bad for your teeth?" Xuan Xiaosi preached seriously, and then shook his head in disappointment, "Forget it, give it to me, Xiao Wu too I can’t eat that much.”
After saying that, he reached for the bamboo pole, but the other party refused to let go, so the two of them fought over each other to grab it.
Su Yue had no choice but to say, "Give me Fourth Senior Brother, he will keep it for me."
The guard let go when he heard the princess speak.
Xuan Xiaosi angrily said, "What's going on with this guy? Do you think I want to steal his candied haws? Huh, I told you not to eat so much."
Then he greeted the little beggar not far away, and a group of children swarmed in. Xuan Xiaosi handed out one each, and finally left only three, "Okay, okay, no more, these three are ours." "
The little beggars were very obedient and ran away with the candied haws.
The guard just looked at it and was very angry, "Your Majesty, this?"
Emperor Wu waved his hand, "As long as she is happy."
The group went directly to Baiyun Temple without stopping.
Mother Chen saw the carriages and horses coming this way from a distance. Not a single master of Baiyun Temple was there. Why were there so many people here? What should she do now? I was in trouble holding the broom when I suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Mother Chen!"
Mother Chen was old and had some blurry eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, "Why did I hear Xiaosi's voice?"
"Mother Chen, Mother Chen, I'm back again." Xuan Xiaosi started waving from afar.
Mother Chen's eyes slowly widened, "Is it really Xiaosi? Oops! Xiaosi, are you back again?"
She threw down the broom and ran in the direction of Xuan Xiaosi. Xuan Xiaosi jumped off the horse and ran quickly to Mother Chen, "Mother Chen, I miss you so much."
Mother Chen hugged Xuan Xiaosi and looked her up and down, "Oh, it's good to be back. It's good to be back. Have you lost weight? You have to work hard outside."
"It's normal to work hard outside. Mother Chen, Xiaosi wants to eat the chicken noodle soup you made."
"Okay, okay, Mother Chen will do it for you today."
Su Yue and the ghost girl were speechless for a while. Xuan Xiaosi was already so old, and he was still acting like a spoiled child, but Chen's mother still fell for him. Alas, neither of them knew how to act like a spoiled child, so they were compared to each other.
