"Alas... there is nothing in the world but the land of the king. Where can I go?" Zhu Qizhen lamented.
"Go to Jinling." Li Qing said, "Although there are many people who have seen you, if you modify it a little, you will still be difficult to find without making any noise or running around. As time goes by, even if Once discovered, no one cares anymore.”
Zhu Qizhen was silent for a long time, and then begged: "Can you take the small money?"
Li Qing lowered his eyes and sighed: "It won't work for a long time. After the storm is over, I will think of a way."
"Thank you."
"Um."
After a few days of rest, Zhu Qizhen was able to withstand the hard work of traveling, and the two embarked on the journey again.
The scenery of the grassland is very good, the vast expanse of lush greenery and fragrant grass is particularly healing and makes people forget their unpleasantness unconsciously.
The two of them didn't deliberately rush. Firstly, they couldn't catch up, and secondly, even if they caught up, they couldn't show up.
Under the setting sun, horses are grazing, Li Qing is making a fire, smoke is curling up, Zhu Qizhen is leaning against a tree with his knees in his arms, the orange afterglow is shining down, the picture is beautiful.
One day, two days... Time is a good medicine for treating wounds, and it can always heal the scars inadvertently.
Zhu Qizhen's condition is getting better and better, and the sadness and pain in his heart are gradually lessening and he is becoming more cheerful.
He talks a lot and sometimes laughs.
This battle punished him and caused him harm, and he accepted it calmly.
You are not immune to damage, but you can digest it.
…
After more than twenty days passed, the two finally crossed the boundary marker and entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, although no one lives outside the Great Wall, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Yuan people cross it, they are violating the border.
Since Yongle, no one has dared to cross the boundary marker for decades.
But from now on...
Li Qing whispered to himself: "It's good to fight a battle. The remaining power will be exhausted one day. It is necessary to re-establish prestige. If this battle is won, the border can be kept peaceful for a long time."
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Many things have two sides, and few are simply good or bad.
In fact, the Ming army has been a deterrent to the outside world for a long time. Without this kind of thing, the grasslands will still be dishonest in a few years.
And if this battle is won, not only will the Ming army's reputation be restored, but the Tatars' strength will plummet under the continuous heavy losses, and Oara will surely take advantage of the situation to rise.
Having been bullied by the Tatars for so long, how could they let it go now that they had the opportunity?
In the past, Zhu Zhanji's plan to cause internal friction and divide the grassland could take effect again.
It's like a reincarnation, going round and round and back to the starting point. It's always so strikingly similar that it's hard to express emotion.
Li Qing also had to examine the so-called irreversible trend.
Has it changed?
changed!
Has it changed?
Nothing has changed!
This is a confusing account that cannot be calculated and cannot be calculated clearly.
There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of Li Qing's mouth and a look of exhaustion on his face. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he didn't know if he could persist to the end.
Sometimes, he really wanted to take a rest, want to take a long nap.

At dusk, the two woke up and started on their way again.
Getting closer to the pass, Zhu Qizhen was a little nervous, "Sir, can we go in?"
"I have the King's Order Flag. You can enter." Li Qing said, "Lie down in the coffin and don't show your head."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and lay back in the coffin. Li Qing closed the coffin lid and glanced at the vague pass that could be seen with the naked eye, feeling more at ease in his heart.
After such a long time, he has already integrated in and regarded Daming as his home.
"Drive~"
Li Qing waved his riding crop, thinking about his master, his junior brother, and his godson. He thought that he would be able to see them soon, and the pain in his heart eased a lot.
He delayed Mu Zhuoer for a lifetime, but the knife that Mu Zhuoer made before leaving seriously injured him.
Since ancient times, lovesickness has been the most murderous thing. Speaking of which, he hasn't seen them for a long time.
"Drive~"
Li Qing waved his whip more frequently.
Suddenly, he found a strange man in the distance. He couldn't see it clearly because he was too far away, but he was basically heading towards the grassland, but he didn't look like a Yuan man.
Really strange.
For some reason, Li Qing felt a familiar feeling of intimacy.
"Hello~" He reined in his horse and stopped, turning around and shouting into the carriage, "Just wait here for me for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."
With that said, he rushed towards the man.
Li Qing was extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of a war horse, and ran all the way to the man, but the man was not slow either, and he rushed towards the grassland.
Helpless, Li Qing could only push his speed to the extreme, and then gradually close the distance. Soon he was shocked that this man was also relying on his legs to travel.
After the shock, he came to his senses.
Apart from him, there is no one else in the world who can be so fast, only his master Zhang Slutty.
"Master!!!"
Li Qing shouted leisurely, "I, Li Qing, why are you going?"
When the man heard this, he stopped and ran towards Li Qing.
Not long after, the master and apprentice met.
It was only then that Li Qing discovered why the little old man was running so weirdly. He was carrying a knife on his back, an oversized sword that was taller than he was.
"Master, what are you...?"
"I knew you were fine. How could my apprentice die so easily?" Zhang Sloppy let out a long sigh of relief, and then cursed: "You are so capable. Who do you think you are? You dare to kill thousands of troops by yourself? Don’t worry, if you die, who will take care of me until I die?”
After saying that, he started to grab Li Qing's ears, which made him grimace in pain.
"It's wrong, wrong, wrong, disciple." Li Qing begged for mercy again and again, "So master is here to save me?"
"Ang," Zhang Sloppy said angrily, "I brought the fakes to the capital to look for you. I heard that Yu Shangshu said that you won't come back after the first battle. Didn't the old man collect your body for you?"
Li Qing felt sour in his heart, but blurted out: "With your small body, what can you do?"
"Hi?" Zhang Sloppy said in dissatisfaction, "Even with such a small body, I can still beat you up all over the place."
"...Yes, Master is so awesome." Li Qing complimented with a smile, and then said: "Why don't you ride a horse?"
Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes, "In this situation, the city gate is not open at all, and I can't bring out the horse. Besides, that thing is as slow as a snail, why are you riding it?"
"..." Li Qing was amused and moved, "Master, let's go home."
~
Returning to the carriage, Zhang Sloppy looked at the coffin and said in surprise: "Who is dead?"
"Emperor." Li Qing paused, "Oh, he is the Supreme Emperor now, but he is not dead. I am going to send him back to Aurous Hill."
"I've convinced you." Zhang Sloppy was speechless, "What do you think of our house, the emperor's refuge?"
"Isn't this happening for a reason?" In front of Zhu Qizhen, there were some things he couldn't say clearly, so Li Qing had no choice but to say soft words by squeezing his waist and beating his back.
Zhang Sloppy couldn't stand this and said angrily: "Okay, I really can't do anything to you."
"Master is the best." Li Qing said with a smile, "You were very reluctant when you accepted your junior brother, but then you turned out to be really nice?"
Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes, "Today is different from the past. The old man doesn't have that much time."
Li Qing's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Okay, you can still live for a while, don't come here all the time." Zhang Slutty stood up, patted the coffin, and then opened the coffin.
"Hello, sir." Zhu Qizhen swallowed, somewhat in awe.
Li Qing's master, how long will he live?
This was simply...he didn't dare to think about it. Is this still a human being?
Zhang sloppily glanced at Zhu Qizhen and said: "Don't tell me, this old Zhu family is really not ugly."
"That's right, the concubines are all extremely beautiful. From generation to generation, of course, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful." Li Qing made a wisecrack and introduced Zhu Qizhen, "This is my master."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, he had just heard it.
"Hello, sir," he looked at Zhang Sloppy in awe, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How old are you, boss?"
"Don't ask about things on the road." Li Qing slapped him on the head, "Go back and lie down."
Zhu Qizhen's curiosity was aroused and he was not willing to give up easily. The little old man looked kind and kind again, and he gradually became easy-going.
"Old man, are you older than Taizu?" Zhu Qizhen asked. After all, Li Qing had emerged in the Hongwu Dynasty, and he was definitely older than Taizong.
Zhang smiled sloppily: "When I was practicing Taoism, let alone the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty hadn't even existed yet."
"Ah?" Zhu Qizhen was shocked, "Really? Then can I...become your teacher?" ωＷWω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
When Li Qing saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel happy. The emperor's cultivation of immortality would bring disaster to the people, but the emperor's cultivation of immortality would benefit the country and the people.
"Do you know Immortal Zhang Sloppy? This is him." Li Qing bala bala...
Zhu Qizhen nodded frequently and suddenly asked: "The old gentleman just said the emperor's refuge, could it be..."
Li Qing said mysteriously, "Do you know Jianwen?"
