"Your Majesty, what are you snorting about?" Queen Zhangsun glared at him playfully.
Emperor Xuanyuan saw that the Queen Zhangsun didn't seem to be too happy so he quickly grabbed her shoulders and roared: "I just feel that Chang Ge is still young and has gotten married so early. I feel a little reluctant to part with him. Furthermore, that Lin Clan kid is not bad at all. However, if he wants to be worthy of my song, some of it is not bad at all. "
Queen Zhangsun rolled her eyes at Emperor Xuanyuan in her heart, and said with a chuckle: "Back then, Chang Ge's marriage was decided by His Majesty himself. Why do you have to go back on your words now?"
When he was young, Xuanyuan Changge's body was weak and sickly, she had used almost all of the world's precious medicine.
After that, the Emperor Xuanyuan was helpless to do anything, so he invited the Daoist Priest. The Daoist Priest calculated the number of Xuanyuan Changge's birth date and came up with a word that was completely opposite to Xuanyuan Changge's birth date.
It just so happened to be the son of General Lin An, so Xuanyuan Changge was betrothed to him since a young age. It was weird, but ever since the marriage was set, Xuanyuan Changge's body gradually improved, becoming lively and lively.
Jiang Zhou City, Jiang Prefecture Lord's Mansion. The new Prefect had been downgraded from the capital and was on his way to the Jiang Prefecture.
Seeing Jiang Yizhou's body being buried with his own eyes, Xie Qingrong heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, Jiang Yizhou had no parents, no relatives, so he would probably never be able to repay this kindness. He could only do his best to protect the Jiang Zhou City, which could also be considered as comforting Jiang Yizhou.
"Princess Consort, Xuanwu is already on its way to Jiang Prefecture." The green dragon reported the Black Tortoise to Xie Qingrong in time.
Xie Qingrong's face flashed with a faint trace of happiness, and she laughed: "Why is Xuanwu here?"
"Black Turtle came to send off the provisions. In his letter, he also said that Crown Prince of Chu's three hundred thousand Army of Chu would arrive in Jiang Prefecture in half a month's time." The Azure Dragon reported truthfully.
Although the fifty thousand reinforcements sent by the imperial government had already arrived at Jiang Zhou City, and all the heroes in the martial arts world were gathered there, the Jiang Zhou City's army had long since run out of food. If the people of Jiang Prefecture did not supply for these few days, it would be hard for them to fill their stomachs.
Shen Haoxuan had already transferred the food from the south to Jiang Prefecture, but was unable to hydrolyze his near thirst. Previously, for the Mo Bei's military rations, Shen Haoxuan had monopolized almost all of the food in the south.
After Black Turtle learned of this, he retrieved the food from several cities near Jiang Prefecture at a high price and quickly shipped it to Jiang Prefecture. He had to at least ensure that the Jiang Prefecture's reinforcements would have sufficient rations for three months.
This time, the matter was extremely important. He had picked a hidden guard from the profound mechanism to send him food along the way.
Moreover, he needed to see Xie Qingrong and report some of the situation to him in time.
The day that he found out that Black Turtle was going to arrive in Jiang Prefecture.
Wearing a long black phoenix dress, Xie Qingrong waited for Xuanwu on the city gate tower. Her long black hair swayed in the wind, and her long skirt was also blown by the wind. The phoenix on her skirt seemed like it was about to flap its wings and fly high into the sky.
Black Turtle was riding a horse. He could feel a familiar gaze from far away.
Looking into the distance, he saw a familiar figure.
Her figure was slender and graceful, and her temperament was extraordinary. It was as if one could see a cold story from her eyes just by looking at her.
The Xuanwu did not expect that her master, Xie Qingrong, would personally come to the city gate tower to wait for him.
Just as he entered the city gates, Black Turtle instructed his men to place the grains in the granary and store them. Then, he slowly strolled to the top of the tower.
Seeing that his master was still as graceful as ever, he habitually wanted to draw a smile on his face. However, the corners of his mouth were stiff, as if he wasn't used to it.
Seeing that, Xie Qingrong could not help but smile: "If you were to be seen by those four to five-year-old people, you would definitely be scared to tears."
Black Turtle was a bit helpless. Standing on the left side of Xie Qingrong, half a step behind, she faintly said: "Master, why are you making fun of this subordinate again?"
Xie Qingrong smiled but did not speak, but in her heart, she was somewhat happy with that stiff smile of Black Turtle's.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was not awkward, but warm and harmonious.
The corner of Black Turtle's eyes swept across Xie Qingrong, only to see that Xie Qingrong's gaze was always fixated in front of her, as though she was looking at something. However, if one were to carefully look at the depths of her eyes, they would realize that there was nothing there, no focus.
After a long period of silence, Xuanwu finally said: "Crown Prince of Chu Gongsun Heng has personally led three hundred thousand Army of Chu s to the south. They will arrive at the Jiang Prefecture in about five days. The imperial government had also dispatched 50,000 reinforcements to support them. Even with the help of the martial artists, they are still far from being a match for the three hundred thousand Army of Chu. "
"Didn't you say that there is still half a month until Army of Chu arrives?" Xie Qingrong said indifferently, her tone extremely calm, as if three hundred thousand Army of Chu were not an important threat to her.
"The news was wrong." Black Turtle suddenly kneeled down and apologized, "This matter was caused by your subordinate's negligence, master, please punish me."
This time, there was a mistake, and the information was not delivered in a timely manner. If anything happened to Xie Qingrong, even if he lost her life, she would still repay Xie Qingrong.
Xie Qingrong coldly glanced at Black Turtle, and said coldly: "Fortunately we have guarded the Jiang Zhou City this time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I hope there won't be a next time for such a mistake. "
"I wanted to punish you severely this time, but as you are usually loyal, you will not do anything else."
Black Turtle lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, master, for your mercy."
"Speak, you are personally escorting the food this time. What other purpose do you have?" Xie Qingrong said indifferently.
They were only escorting the food, why would Black Turtle escort them personally? What was so important that he would have to come personally instead of nurturing the hidden guards in the profound mechanism?
Xuan Wu whispered a few sentences beside Xie Qingrong's ear, causing Xie Qingrong's expression to immediately change. Her deep eyes also emitted a strong cold light.
"Does Your Highness know about this?" Xie Qingrong asked. If Xuanyuan Chen still did not know about this, he would have lost his sharp judgement and made use of this opportunity.
Black Turtle shook his head and replied, "The situation is urgent, and this matter is of great importance. This is just my guess, so I have not notified Your Highness. A pigeon sending a message was indeed an act of mediocrity. If it was intercepted by someone, it might cause a war. However, Mistress need not worry too much, His Highness is very resourceful and should have long guessed this matter. "
Even though he said that, Xie Qingrong was still worried. He retracted his gaze and instructed the white tiger to travel day and night, as long as he could rush to Mo Bei as soon as possible, and hand over the letter to Xuanyuan Chen personally.
