Last time, when they were rushing to deal with the crisis in Beiyuan County, Qingyun and others drove around day and night without paying attention to the scenery along the way. Therefore, this time the group stopped and walked all the way, admiring the picturesque scenery while conducting overt and covert visits to various counties. Officials' political achievements, understanding people's livelihood and conditions, and solving practical problems are also very relaxing and comfortable.

Along the way, Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi and Lou Haiyang appeared to be in harmony, but they fought against each other behind Qing Yun's back. This was a good show that everyone could never tire of watching.

At this time, Mo Xuan returned to his appearance as a miracle doctor. As for Prime Minister Han in the court, there was naturally another person.

At noon three days before Princess Wuyun's enthronement ceremony, a group of people arrived at Yecheng, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom.

The dancing figure driving the carriage asked softly: "Princess, do you want to go directly to the embassy?"

"Go to Luoyun Tower."

"Yes." The carriage continued to move forward.

Qingyun handed Lan Jue the "Military Book" written by the founding emperor and recorded the battles of thirty famous generals from various countries before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Qingyun raised his hand and slightly opened the car curtain.

Under the scorching sun, there are many shops on both sides of the street. Passers-by are bustling with people, and vendors are shouting one after another. There is a lively and prosperous scene everywhere. Although it is not as good as six or seven tenths of what it was before the civil strife, Princess Wuyun can make it happen in such a short period of time. Qingyun is still deeply impressed by Qingyun's outstanding talent in Kyoto's restoration of such vitality.

It's just that the Zhou Kingdom is not as rich and powerful as the Jin Kingdom after all, so except for Yecheng in Kyoto, the rest of the country is still in dilapidation and hardship after the war. At least a few counties they passed through are extremely desolate and ruined, and Beiyuan, which has also experienced turmoil, Not only has the county returned to its previous orderly state, but with the strong support of the imperial court, it has become even more prosperous than before.

In front of Luoyun Tower where guests were arriving like a cloud, Qingyun held Lan Jue's hand and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

Luoyun Tower, Qingyuan Inn, Nichang Pavilion, and Qunfang Courtyard are all hidden stakes installed by Luo Yan in the capital of the Zhou Kingdom. Last time the Qingyuan Inn was exposed, everyone withdrew to the Jin Kingdom, and the other three hidden stakes were safe.

Although Luoyunlou is not the largest restaurant in Yecheng, it is good for its food, accommodation and entertainment. There is a stage in the lobby on the first floor, where guests can watch operas and listen to music while eating. They can stay on the second floor and entertain distinguished guests on the third floor. The ground floor is a place for entertainment. Because it is legitimate entertainment, the government will let it go and even protect it. In addition, the restaurant has excellent service and can ensure the safety of the guests, so business is booming every day.

The shopkeeper personally led Qing Yun and his party to the third floor. He looked at Chu Yunyi who was sitting next to Qing Yun and the two guards behind him, but hesitated to speak.

Knowing that they had something to talk about, Qingyun didn't ask him to stay. Chu Yunyi had no choice but to endure the bitterness and sadness in his heart. He was running out of excuses and took two guards to the guest room with the waiter.

After the three people left, the shopkeeper closed the door tightly, and then, together with two middle-aged women who came in, an ordinary-looking but capable and steady woman, and a charming-looking but shrewd-eyed woman, they knelt in front of Qingyun and said respectfully: "Little man Jiang Shizhong, the shopkeeper of Luoyun Tower (Wu Nishang, the shopkeeper of Nishang Pavilion) (the boss of Qunfang Courtyard) has met the young lady, and the boss has already given instructions that the security of the young lady in Zhou Kingdom during this period will be the responsibility of the villain."

Raising her hand to signal the three of them to stand up, Qingyun said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Yan was newly married and Yan Er was still worried about her safety and had arranged everything early. It was her honor to have Luo Yan and Bing Ying as her two close friends in this life.

"The villains are responsible for their duties and dare not talk about the hard work!"

"Tell me about the situation in Zhou Kingdom these past few months."

"Yes." Jiang Shizhong said respectfully: "On the second day after the civil strife subsided, Emperor Zhou ordered Princess Wuyun to supervise the country on the grounds that the old illness had recurred. King De King Tubuxin, Prime Minister Tang Hesi, and General Shuolun jointly ordered While assisting the government, Emperor Zhou took care of the crazy Queen Mother in Anfu Palace;

After Princess Wuyun took control of the country, she first severely punished the rebellious King Jingsu and King Ming and other party members, then promoted many young officials, reduced taxes, appeased the people, and rectified the army... In just a few months, Restored vitality to Yecheng and several surrounding counties;

In addition, Princess Wuyun buried King Jingsu and King Ming next to the imperial mausoleum regardless of previous suspicions;

It is said that before King Jingsu died, his whole body was bruised and bloody. In the end, only a pile of ghastly bones were left, which scared many palace maids and eunuchs crazy. Princess Wuyun personally put him into the coffin, and the people were all shocked. He said that King Jingsu deserved his punishment and praised Princess Wuyun for her magnanimity and kindness."

"Who on earth has the ability to make a man cut himself into a pile of bones?" Lou Haiyang said with wide eyes in horror.

Last time, he was left in Beiyuan County by Qingyun to deal with the aftermath, so he didn't know what happened in Zhou Kingdom.

Lan Jue also looked shocked.

But Wuying, who knew the inside story well, looked calm, but secretly thought in his heart: Even though he knew that the princess was Mr. Mo's favorite, Amugu Lang still tried to forcefully marry the princess, and finally ended up with a dead end. He was really to blame for himself!

Qingyun glanced sideways at Mo Xuan, who shrugged nonchalantly and sipped the tea slowly, as if King Jingsu's death had nothing to do with him.

“The Emperor of Zhou was actually thinking about Zhou Xiang, who not only had royal family members, but also had the prime minister and the general who were the head of the civil and military ministers to assist him in the administration;

If the three of them sincerely devote all their efforts to assisting Princess Wuyun, coupled with Princess Wuyun's intelligence, the Zhou Kingdom will be able to return to its previous prosperity and strength in less than three to five years, or even reach a higher level;

I'm afraid that the three of them have their own thoughts. After all, power is very important to some people. Forget it if you haven't tasted it. Once you taste the sweetness, it's easy to be addicted to it. When the time comes, Emperor Zhou's arrangement will harm Princess Wuyun. ."

Think about it, she also succeeded to the throne as the empress. In the court, she had four brothers and Chen Yu, as well as Taifu Han, the Protector Marquis and other loyal ministers to fully support her. In the wild, she was protected by Ziyiwei, Luoyan, Bingying and a large group of sincere friends. , she is much luckier than Princess Wuyun.

"Miss Yingming!" Aunt Hua nodded and said: "According to the officials who came to Qunfang Courtyard to have fun, the Prime Minister and the General have been fighting for many years, but they just didn't show it openly. Now both of them want to send their legitimate sons into the palace. As the royal husband of the palace, thus dominating the court, some things slowly surfaced;

As for King De, this person should not be underestimated. He is the uncle of the Zhou Emperor. Although he is already in his sixtieth year, he has a high prestige in the hearts of his subjects. Especially King De's two sons and three grandsons may seem mediocre, but in fact they are unfathomable. No matter how hard people try, they can’t find any trace of any wrongdoing on the five of them.”

"As a member of the royal family, I believe that they are by no means mediocre people. There must be some unknown secrets among them. In this way, you will send people to continue to closely monitor every move of the prime minister and the general. If there is any news, report immediately. As for King De, I have my own opinion."

"The villain obeys your orders!"

"Okay, all of you, please go down. If you have anything to do, please tell Shopkeeper Jiang to me. You must not reveal your identity or relationship with Shopkeeper Jiang. Also, you must ensure your own safety!"

"Young lady, please remember the teachings of the young lady!" The three of them were moved and said inexplicably: "Young lady, please leave!" After saying that, they bowed and left the room.

Qing Yun and his party were not many in number. Apart from Qing Yun, Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi, Lou Haiyang, and Lan Jue Wuying, there were only Chu Yunyi's fifty guards, and the thirty secret guards were naturally hidden in the dark. at.

Yunfei, who was not worried about Qingyun's safety, secretly ordered the purple guards to protect him secretly along the road, and arranged for hundreds of purple guards to hide in Yecheng in advance. Qingyun knew nothing about Yunfei's arrangements.

Qingyun and others booked all the rooms on the east side of the third floor of Luoyun Building.

After lunch, Chu Yunyi and others went back to their respective rooms to rest.

And Qingyun was sitting quietly on the chair by the window, holding a cup of tea in her hand but never drank a sip, her brows were furrowed, her beautiful face was solemn and gloomy, she didn't know what she was thinking.

He reached out and put the tea cup in Qingyun's hand on the table next to him, then hugged her, sat on the chair and then let her sit on his knees. Mo Xuan asked softly: "Do you want to help Princess Wuyun get rid of those evil people?" Possible hidden dangers?”

Nestling in Mo Xuan's warm arms, Qingyun nodded slightly, looking at the scenery outside the window with dark eyes: "In any case, Wuyun and I have always had a sisterhood for many years. In the beginning, Zhou Guo's national power was weakened because of necessity. It’s inevitable that I feel a little guilty.”

"How do you want to help her?"

"Now that the Zhou Kingdom is in ruins and waiting to be reborn, the prime minister and generals are still useful and cannot be killed for the time being, so we will cut off their ideas and weaken their power so that the dark clouds can gather power and no longer be held hostage by the ministers;

As for King De, let’s first secretly confirm whether he has evil intentions. If not, it’s best. If so, we will try to make his ambitions public, so that Dark Clouds can be on guard, and if necessary, we can also assist Dark Clouds. Get rid of him."

"Although you have good intentions, have you ever thought that this is the internal affairs of the Zhou Kingdom after all? Once those people with ulterior motives know that you are involved in it and provoke the Zhou people to misunderstand you and criticize you, or even frame the Jin Kingdom for their ulterior motives, even Princess Wuyun I am willing to believe you, but her position as she has just ascended the throne is not stable. Not only can she not be able to protect you, but she may also be forced by the pressure of her subjects to deal with you. When the time comes, not only will it be a thankless task for you, but your life will also be in danger;

In addition, aren't you worried that you helped Princess Wuyun consolidate the political power, and that one day when she becomes more powerful, she will turn around and invade the Jin Kingdom? Just because you miss your old relationship, doesn't it mean that others have the same thoughts as you, right?"

"I have also thought about your concerns carefully." Withdrawing her gaze, Qingyun looked at Mo Xuan quietly and said firmly: "No matter how Wuyun views this friendship, I can't let it go after all. Now that I know that Wuyun is in deep trouble, if I If we don’t help, our conscience will be uneasy, and if we act more secretly and securely, no one will find out. As for the future, as long as the Jin State is prosperous and the people are strong, why should we fear invasion from other countries?"

Lowering his head and kissing Qingyun's forehead, Mo Xuan said: "Since you have decided, everything will be done as you wish."

"If you have something fun to do, how can you leave me out?"
