People are always changing, and occasionally when they look back on the past, they feel that they have long been far from the goal.

When Chu Huan first entered the customs from the northwest, he could only endure and seek self-protection in addition to grief and anger, at that time he was just alone, with no support, and it was not easy to find the real culprit who killed Feng Hanxiao, so he could only try his best to protect himself first, and then try to take revenge.

This is the normal reaction of a normal person, at that time, Chu Huan had no ambition in the world, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of suppressing the party, just like a businessman's biggest goal is to get rich, a scholar wants to take the high school exam, and an ordinary farmer's goal is only to have a better harvest in a year, so that the family can be fed and clothed.

In the world, not many people are born with the idea of dominating the world, and many of the founding emperors and generals just wanted to survive at the beginning.

Chu Huan's ambition at the beginning was really ordinary, he just hoped that he could do his best to find out the real culprit, and then give the dead Feng Hanxiao and the Thirteen Taibao an explanation, at that time he didn't even know if he could really find the real culprit and find out the truth behind the scenes.

At that time, he really didn't know what he could do but avenge his brother.

Speaking from the heart, meeting Luo Duo in the wine shop may have started a turning point in his fate, and meeting the King of Qi really changed the path he had originally planned.

In fact, providence is impermanent, and human plans are often not as good as change.

Whether it was later Luo Duo taught him martial arts, or through the King of Qi into the capital, his life was fundamentally different, his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, plus what he saw, in this turbulent era of the empire, gradually appeared a path of his own, he from an ordinary Wu Jingwei to the current governor of Xiguan, this road has come over, whether he is active or passive, whether it is vision or insight is no longer able to compare.

Even when he first arrived in the northwest, he thought that he could be a loyal minister, loyal to the court, and seek the well-being of the people, but when he opened his eyes wide, he realized that he was just a pawn in the power struggle, and he was a dead chess piece sent by the emperor to the northwest.

It's just that no one thought that this dead chess piece would come to life.

Providence makes people, Chu Huan sometimes feels that people's fate seems to be predestined by God in the dark, but of course he does not want to become a pawn controlled by others.

Princes and generals, rather have a kind!

When he hid his traces in Liujia Village, he had a responsibility, and every step he took since then, the burden on his shoulders was not getting lighter and lighter, but heavier and heavier.

With him as the center, a huge interest group has been formed, which not only includes his family members, but also the gentry of the northwest with the surname Xiguan Qi, as well as a large number of officials promoted and appointed by him, these people have become an important part of his interest group and are closely related to his honor and disgrace.

As Mei Niang said, in today's world, wolves grab food, and if you advance, you may not live, but if you retreat, you will die.

And he knew very well that from the moment King Yingren of Qi arrived in the northwest, he had no way out, especially in the eyes of the prince, he had become a thorn in his side.

Chu Huan knows that no matter how fate changes, for himself, the best way to control his fate is to strengthen himself, and only when his own strength grows can he attack and retreat with ease.

If he is still just living in seclusion in Liujia Village, he doesn't have to think too much, but now that he is in a high position and has power, he also bears the corresponding responsibilities, in this troubled world, he has no way out, because once he retreats, he will destroy Miè, and it is not he who destroys Miè alone, but a huge group, including his children and family.

The morning sun has risen from the horizon, and the sun is rising in the east, and the sun is shining brightly.

In fact, there are not many things that the Heavenly Palace really needs to pack, and before dawn, the soldiers and officials have already prepared, and they can go to Wuping Mansion City as soon as the prince gives an order.

The city of Wuping Mansion is only a few dozen miles away, and the prince has already sent people to prepare in advance, and if he is in Zhou Ting, he will go to Wuzhou with Feng Poyu, the Marquis of Beiyong, early.

The Hexi officials and gentry in the square, as well as the various art troupes, have also been prepared, and everyone knows that there has been a great change in the Heavenly Palace, but no one knows the details.

From time to time, people looked in the direction of the Juxian Palace, but no one came out for a long time.

In the Juxian Palace, the prince's face was extremely solemn, Xuanyuan Shao was standing in front of the prince at the moment, as usual, his face was expressionless, but Xue Huaian and the others were frowning, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite solemn.

"Your Highness, it's already dawn, and you can set off." Xue Huai'an hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This is the auspicious time to move the palace, if it is later, the auspicious time will be ......!" ”

The corners of the prince's eyes twitched slightly, and one hand was actually clenched into a fist.

Lin Yuanfang said cautiously: "Your Highness, Chu Huan's wolf ambitions, since he has taken the queen hostage, he may not be able to release the queen back, according to the minister's opinion, all key passes must be blocked by additional personnel, in addition, a wanted warrant must be issued immediately, and a heavy reward will be offered, as long as someone can catch Chu Huan, whether he lives or dies, ...... or not!" ”

Before his words fell, Xue Huaian was already angry and said, "Lord Lin, at this time, are these words appropriate?" ”

"Xue Butang, since Chu Huan dares to hold the queen hostage, it is a matter of rebellion." Lin Yuanfang said coldly: "Now that this is an extraordinary time, in front of His Highness, of course, you have to tell the truth, is it possible that at such a time, you still have to use rhetoric to deceive Your Highness?" ”

"Rhetoric?" Xue Huai'an laughed angrily: "Lord Lin, I want to ask you, what is the most important thing now?" I have already sent people to the city of Wuping Mansion and are ready, and they all know that His Highness is coming, and the chief of the barbarians who are under house arrest in the city are also ready to greet him, and His Highness should set off to the city of Wuping Mansion as soon as possible, summon the officials and the chieftains of the barbarians, and comfort them...... Now that the situation in Hexi has not yet stabilized, what His Highness should worry about is the ...... of state affairs! ”

"Xue Huai'an, what you say is a big rebellion." Lin Yuanfang said sharply: "Your Highness is worried about the queen's safety, isn't this a state affair?" The queen mother is the world, and now life and death may not be ......! ”

"Don't say anything about it." The prince said in a deep voice.

Lin Yuanfang stopped suddenly, the prince stared at Xuanyuan Shao, and asked, "Don't you have any clues from them?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Chu Huan was very cunning, striking east and west, abandoning the horse halfway, and by the time we caught up with those two horses, they were all gone." Xuanyuan Shao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty fell for him, and his sin deserves death." However, the subordinates have already made arrangements, since they are abandoning the horse halfway, then the horseshoe prints of the unridden horses must be much shallower, we follow the horseshoe prints on the road to search, as long as the horseshoe prints have changed, it is the place where they abandoned the horses, and then start looking from there, should be able to find clues. ”

The prince said: "Then have you arranged for someone to find it?" ”

"Someone has been sent to search for it." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Your Highness, what Lord Lin said, there is no road, since Chu Huan abandoned his horse and fled, the next step must be to find a way to return to the northwest, as long as he dresses up, he may not be able to get out." If a wanted warrant is issued immediately and Chu Huan is wanted, he may be able to get the news. The characteristics of the people around Chu Huan are very obvious, and their appearance is posted on the list, and a heavy reward is offered, but when there is news, they will immediately send someone to chase after them, and they may not be able to get out of Hexi. ”

Lin Yuanfang then recommended himself: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to draw their appearance in person." ”

Lin Yuanfang's calligraphy is far inferior to Xue Huai'an, but his painting skills are very good.

"Your Royal Highness, will such a big move affect the queen?" Xue Huai'an frowned and said: "Issue a wanted warrant and reward Chu Huan, with Chu Huan's temperament, even if he is revealed, he will not be arrested ...... his hands!" ”

Lin Yuanfang snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that Lord Xue knows Chu Huan's temperament so well...... Well, that's also true, when he sent an envoy to Xiliang, wasn't it Chu Huan who followed Lord Xue to Xiliang as a deputy envoy, and I heard that the relationship between Xue Butang's wife and Chu Huan's wife was also good......! ”

Xue Huai'an suddenly changed color, and said sharply: "Lin Yuanfang, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting." Lin Yuanfang said lightly: "I just persuaded Xue Butang to distinguish between public and private, we know that you have some personal relations with Chu Huan, but now that Chu Huan is holding the queen hostage and openly rebelling, if you defend him again, it will be a separation between public and private." ”

Xue Huai'an was frightened and had already knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, the minister is loyal to Great Qin, and now Chu Huan is rebelling, the minister and him are incompatible, and there is absolutely no heart to defend it, and I hope Your Highness will see it!" ”

The crown prince frowned and said, "Lord Xue gets up first." Glancing at Lin Yuanfang, he said: "Now is the time of national crisis, you are ministers of the same court, you should be of one heart and one mind, and in the future, don't say these unauthorized speculations again." Xiang Xue Huai'an said, "Lord Xue, you continue." ”

"Your Highness, Chu Huan will not be arrested, once a wanted warrant is issued, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and they will be looking for Chu Huan at that time, once they meet, they will definitely be swords and soldiers who meet you to the death." Xue Huai'an said with a straight face: "The queen is now by Chu Huan's side, once the fight starts and Chu Huan is killed, it will be fine, but maybe it will involve the queen's ......!" ”

The prince nodded and said, "What Lord Xue said is extremely true, this wanted warrant, don't issue it for the time being." After a pause, he said: "In this way, send more people to the key passes, immediately send people to Xishan Road, and order Qiao Mingtang to strictly guard all the passes of Xishan Road, and the wanted warrant can be issued to all passes, so that they can try their best to capture Chu Huan alive." Xishan Road is the only way to the northwest, and if Chu Huan wants to return to the northwest, he must pass through Xishan Road, so Qiao Mingtang must intercept Chu Huan on Xishan Road. ”

"Obey the order!"

"Now that the hour has come, let it not be delayed." The crown prince raised his head and looked forward from afar, "Pass the order and set off for the ...... of Wuping Mansion City!" Suddenly thinking of something, he said to Xuanyuan Shao: "Commander Xuanyuan, the Duke of Yiguo is in the Juxian Palace, do you want to take a look?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned, he had previously led people to chase Chu Huan, but he didn't know that Xuanyuan Pingzhang was in the Heavenly Palace.

"Come on, take General Xuanyuan to see Yiguo Gong." The crown prince instructed: "The Duke of Yiguo was injured, so he will stay in the Heavenly Palace for diagnosis and treatment for the time being, and hand it over to the Xuanzhen Dao Sect to take care of." ”

Xuanyuan Shao heard that Xuanyuan Pingzhang was injured, and he was even more shocked, at this moment someone had already come over, leading Xuanyuan Shao to see Xuanyuan Pingzhang, just walked a few steps, and saw a person coming in a hurry, to the side of the prince, arched his hand and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, the ...... of the righteous country!" ”

The prince's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao didn't take a few steps, he heard clearly, and immediately turned around, the man had already said cautiously: "Yiguo Gong is dead!" ”
