Seventh Brother, fortunately we made it back safely. If something were to happen on the way, how do you want us to explain this to Imperial Mother, and to Grand Concubine Chen? "

Faced with his undisguised concern, Dong Fang Su was ashamed and touched at the same time. She lowered her head and said, "Chendi was reckless.

Dong Fang Hui sighed, "I am not blaming you, but this time you are too bold. After walking for more than a month, we sent people everywhere to find you, but we did not expect that you would go to the West Chu."

After pausing for a moment, he said with a frown, "Speaking of which, we have already promised you that we would send Jiang Yue to the West Chu to ask for his help. Why did you do this again?"

"At that time, Chendi thought that with Your Majesty's letter of credence, she wouldn't reject it. It wasn't until she returned and had a detailed discussion with Brother Mu that she discovered that Chendi was thinking too simply!"

Dong Fang Hui raised his ink-like eyebrows slightly, and waited for Dong Fang Su to continue.

Dong Fang Hui indicated for him to sit down on the purple sandalwood chair to the left, and had palace maid bring him a fresh cup of tea, "Although West Chu has swallowed Nanzhao, it will still take a long time before he can completely grasp control of Nanzhao. Before that, he cannot even be compared to me, Northern Week, so what right do you have to conclude that he has the guts to reject our request?"

"Because of the Qi and the Tung Ling." Dong Fang Su said seriously: "Even though my Northern Week is powerful and invincible, we are being restricted by the Qi and the Tung Ling. Once we make our move against the West Chu, these two countries will definitely seize the opportunity to attack us and make us suffer.

"The Your Majesty is wise." "Yes." Dong Fang Su lowered his eyes as he replied, and continued, "Chu Di clearly saw us, Qi, and Tung Ling being restrained in three directions, so he didn't have time to care about others. That's why he dared to send troops to eliminate Nanzhao, as he had sufficient time to control and digest this large piece of fat called Nanzhao." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Forgive my Chendi for speaking bluntly. Although the power of West Chu is temporarily inferior to that of my Qi, his thoughts are still quite sinister. In the future, he will definitely become a huge threat to my Northern Week."

"I can see it." Dong Fang Hui lowered his head to look at the slowly spreading tea leaves in the teacup. "I really didn't expect that the weak and mediocre Emperor Qing would actually give birth to such a capable son."

The Emperor Qing that Dong Fang Hui spoke of was the previous emperor of the West Chu, as well as the father of Xiao Ruo Ao. He had an ordinary political record, was a coward, had soft ears, and had wrongly killed many loyal officials.

After a moment of silence, Dong Fang Hui asked doubtfully: "The important area of the Imperial City must be heavily guarded. You didn't even bring a single guard, how did you save Princess Xuan Ji?"

Dong Fang Su explained everything he had thought of previously, and when he heard that he was going to make use of the lackeys in the martial arts world, Dong Fang Hui could not help but laugh, "You really think of a good idea, but you must promise me, that this will definitely not happen a second time, otherwise I will take a rope and tie you up in the Prince Rui's Palace, so that you won't be able to go anywhere."

Dong Fang Su could hear the deep concern behind the joke, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and bowed: "Yes, Chendi promises Your Majesty!"

Dong Fang Hui nodded in satisfaction, "Where is Princess Xuan Ji now?"

"Princess missed Prince Zhuang very much, so I sent her to her residence first. Please forgive me."

"The two of them have been separated for many years. Adding on the calamity that has befallen them, I can't help but have a lot to say, and this is only right. In a few days, it will be Mother's birthday, and at that time, you can bring Xuan Ji to the palace with you.

"Chendi obeys." After Dong Fang Su accepted his promise, Dong Fang Hui said, "During the days that you were gone, mother and Grand Concubine Chen were extremely worried. Since you have returned, go and meet them quickly so that they can be at ease."

"Yes, Chendi will go over right away." Dong Fang Su bowed once again, then bowed and left the west side.

After he left, Dong Fang Su extended a slender white finger and picked up an untouched cup of tea. Lowering his eyes, he could clearly see the dark green tea soup, which clearly reflected his shadow.

"Huai En, do you believe his words?" The lazy voice echoed in the bright west room of Chengde Hall.

The old eunuch who was addressed as Huai En thought about it and said softly, "King Rui and his words are compatible. It's all true. "

A cold smile appeared on Dong Fang Hui's lips, "Should? When did you learn how to play with me? "

"This old servant dares not." Huai En bowed: "It's just that this old servant doesn't understand, why would Your Majesty doubt your words?"

Dong Fang Hui gently shook the teacup in his hand, "Since Xuan Ji is someone that the Chu Di is determined to kill, then even if they are lucky enough to escape the Miyagi, they will still continue to chase after him.

Huai En nodded his head, "Yes, King Rui said so earlier. On the way, they were hunted down many times, but fortunately, they had the help of Lord Jiang, and it was surprisingly unexpected. They went through Eastern Territory and returned to the Northern Week, only after making a huge detour did they finally break away from the pursuers."

"What about before we entered the Qi, we relied on those martial artists to fight against the pursuers?"

"As far as I know, although the martial artists are not as strict as the military soldiers, they are fierce and do not fear death. With these people around, dealing with those ordinary soldiers is not difficult."

His words caused the corner of Dong Fang Hui's lips to slightly rise, "Have you ever heard of Artemisia annulata Lam?"

"Artemisia annulata Lam?" Huai En creased his white brows and pondered for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about returning to the Your Majesty."

"Before the Chu Di ascended the throne, the powers that were secretly nurtured had grown in scale over the past few years. They somewhat resembled … Camping! "

Huai En's eyelids jumped violently as he said in shock, "Your Majesty is saying … Chu Di also has a 'Camping' in his possession? "

"The Artemisia annulata Lam was indeed created in imitation of the Camping, but to say that it's the second 'Camping', is still far from being able to be considered as it. Only saying that the background between the two is far from being able to match up."
