"Qing'er, are you sure you want to travel with Wang Jing and that Mo Clan girl?" The two of them quietly arrived at the study room. Xu Qingzhi finally opened his heart and told Chu Huainan about his experiences over the years, and Chu Huainan did not lie to Xu Qingzhi. He told him that back then, it was because he had to be in charge of the Northwest that he had been blinded by his loyalty and had done something that Chu Huainan would regret for the rest of his life.

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." Xu Qingzhi was not only because he wanted to gain more experience, but also because he had a plan after interacting with Chu Huainan. But what did Chu Huainan think? One must know that after tonight, those who wanted to join the academy would naturally know that Xu Qingzhi was their own son. If he entered the academy, he would display extraordinary ability, and the one in Chang An would probably be unable to sit still. Chu Huainan was too embarrassed to open his mouth. He did not think that this child would not only not blame him, but would also think this way for his own sake.

"But, I still can't let it go. Why did you leave me behind?" Xu Qingzhi looked Chu Yinan in the eye. Did he not mind? How could he not mind? Truthfully speaking, Xu Qinzhi might have been a little naughty at times since he was young, but he was a very good person in his own right. Since he was young, he had never been angry, had never hated anyone.

At this time, a person suddenly came in from outside. He rushed over and smashed his face into Chu Yinan's chest with a hammer. So it was you! It was you who left Qing'er behind! Why are you doing this! " Royal Consort Huai had always been a very gentle and calm person. However, at this moment, tears were all over her face as she looked at Chu Huainan with anger in her eyes. All these years, she would always be woken up by a nightmare one night and would always see her baby die under the knife of a barbarian on the prairie. All these years, she would always be woken up by a nightmare one night and all these years, she would always see her baby die under the knife of a barbarian on the prairie. "Princess Huai wanted to touch Xu Qingzhi's cheek, but she was unable to do so no matter how hard she tried.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the wailing Imperial Concubine Huai and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He noticed that she had extended her hand into the air. Presumably, she was afraid that he would mind, but she didn't dare to take another step forward. As a result, Xu Qingzhi lightly leaned over. Princess Huai was stunned, and he finally embraced Xu Qingzhi. Xu Qing couldn't help but murmur, "Mother." He could feel that Princess Huai really cared about him, and he was sure that he'd suffered greatly over the years due to worry and worry.

"It's okay, it's okay. If Chu Yinan dares to bully Qing'er again, I'll castrate him!" When Chu Yinan heard this, he felt a cold breeze blow past him. He subconsciously shrank his neck and put his face close to the head, saying, "Erm …" "Cough, how could that be? Qing'er finally returned with great difficulty, how could I …"

"Then why did you let Qing'er travel!?" Do you think I don't know what you're planning? "I don't care what that old fellow Changan is thinking, I only want my Qing'er to be free from the trials and tribulations!"

Chu Yinan was only afraid of two things in her life. First, she was afraid that her child would not forgive her and would hate her. Second, he was afraid that Princess Hua-Yang would be angered. Outsiders didn't know what would happen if a gentle woman like Princess Huainan lost her temper, but Chu Huainan knew very well that back then, he had said that Qing'er was lost. Princess Huainan chased after Chu Huainan with a sword in her hand and if he hadn't run fast enough, she would have chopped him down.

"Mother, Prince Huai didn't ask for Qing'er's presence, but Qing'er wanted to travel by herself." Chu Yinan didn't seem to notice that he called Princess Huai his mother but didn't call him father. He kept smiling at Xu Qingzhi and thought that his son was still the best. He knew how to cover for him.

"Really? However, Qing'er, the world is dark now. There are even news of the war from Yanmen Pass. Martial artists from all over the place are also ready to overthrow the martial edict. At this moment … How can I be at ease? "

Mother, you don't have to worry too much. To be honest, Qing'er has taken in the old Cardinal Pavilion swordsman, Wang Jing, as her master.

He also came over and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Although old man Wang doesn't seem to be serious, once the Giant Que is unsealed, Wang Jingyang, who has the Great Que in his hand, will probably have to step back a bit."

"Go on, I'm talking to Qing'er, what do you want?" The Royal Concubine didn't give Chu Huainan any face, so she felt that it would be hard to get by on this matter. She decided that after Qing'er fell asleep, she would teach her general a good lesson.

He could feel that his biological parents were not bad people, and he could also understand the difficulties that Chu Huainan had faced in the past. In such an era of war and chaos, Chu Huainan had to be in charge of the northwest to defend against the group of butchers in the prairie, but he also had to be on guard against the imperial government's underhanded tricks.

"Qing'er has been thinking about this for a long time, and has decided to travel for a year."

Seeing Xu Qing's firm attitude, the Royal Concubine Huai could only sigh and say, "If that's the case, I'll listen to you. But there's something that I need you to promise me, Qing'er."

Xu Qingzhi stared blankly. He hadn't thought that his mother would suddenly become so serious. Even the mischievous smile on Chu Huainan's face changed into a serious one.

"Mother, please speak your mind."

"Stay in Yanyang City for a month. Wait until your father finds a successor for you! "

Successor and successor, that was to say, the name of the Northwest's King Huai was passed on from generation to generation. It could not be changed by outsiders, not even by the Emperor! Thus, the 400,000 Steel Cavalry of the Northwest were firmly grasped in their hands. Even if someone wanted to take action, they had to consider whether or not they could withstand the wrath of the Northwest.

Xu Qing naturally knew what was at stake, so he didn't immediately agree. He rolled his eyes. If Xu Zhen and the rest hadn't fallen asleep in the room and saw Xu Qing like this, they would definitely know that he was plotting something.

If one were to say that the title of the Northwest King, Xu Qinghui, did not care, then in the past, it was still Chang'an that had caused him to drift away. It could not be said that he hated the Emperor, but it had to be said that he already had a grudge in his heart against the Emperor. Although he didn't care much about Duke Huai's heirloom, he knew that if he didn't step forward, the imperial government would think of a way to take Chu Huainan's military power away from him. However, if he were to stand in front of the stage rashly …

"Mother, Qing'er has something to ask. Now, do you have the confidence to sweep away the Central Plains and change the dynasty?"

Seeing the fierce light in Xu Qing's eyes, coupled with Xu Qing's words, Chu Huainan and Duke Huai were both shocked.

"Qing'er, could it be that you …"

"Duke Huai, you've misunderstood. Qing Zai's words were indeed a bit sloppy, but I hope that Your Highness can answer truthfully."

Chu Wannan calmed himself and slowly said, "With my current strength in the northwest, it would be easy for me to enter the Central Plains." Very easy? If the emperor of Changan heard this, he would probably jump out of his bed in fright. In order to guard against this tiger in the northwest, the imperial government had deployed many elite soldiers to guard the mountain pass. However … For example, once the Northwest Armies entered the Correspondence Valley, the Mobei Prairie would definitely not sit by and do nothing. The Wu Kingdom would also be ready to make a move, and if they were to really make a move, not only would they change the dynasty, they would even end up suffering losses on both sides, allowing the Wu Nation and the Mobei Prairie to gain the upper hand. "

"If that's the case, it means that the imperial government would definitely not want to see this scene unfold. If we do not have Duke Huai in the Northwest, let alone the Northwest Army, would General Murong of the Northwest Army be willing to listen to the orders of the imperial government? "

Although this kid has the bearing of a wise general, he is also a stubborn one. I wanted to acknowledge him as my adopted son a few years ago, but this kid said that the young master did not return, so I did not dare call him 'son' and rejected him. If I am not here, I think it would be great if this kid did not lead the four hundred thousand Iron Cavalry soldiers out of the Correspondence Valley.

Don't just look at how Chu Huainan kept scolding Murong Qian Xun, Xu Qingzhi could feel how much Chu Huainan valued Murong Qian Xun. Also, from Murong Qian Xun's attitude, this young general really did not have any ambitions to stand at the top of the mountain.

"In other words, the imperial government still needs His Majesty Duke Huai. However, if we were to add another straw to such a balanced situation …"

"You mean …" I have a successor? "

"Yes!" The reason why the imperial government was able to maintain this delicate balance in the northwest was because the imperial government currently did not know … This way, the imperial government wouldn't be in a hurry to oppose His Highness. After all, the imperial government would only have to wait a hundred years for His Highness to regain control of the northwest army. When that happened, how could General Murong say anything? It's normal for people to die from old diseases. "

Princess Huai looked pensive as she began to understand the difficulties she had faced all those years ago. As for Chu Huainan, he was a bit shocked. Xu Qingzhi's words were very familiar to him … That's right, hadn't Lin Chengyan said something similar to this to him that year?

"However, after tonight, someone will definitely be able to find out the truth …"

Xu Qingzhi lowered his head in thought. That's right, if he had not displayed his outstanding results, he could have pretended to have done nothing and relax the crowd's vigilance. However, like this … Yes, that was it.

"Mother, I have an idea. It's precisely this trip!"

This mental strategy of Xu Qing made her happy and nervous at the same time. She was nervous because the more extraordinary Xu Qing's performance was, the more worried those people would be, and it was inevitable that they would do something that she did not dare to think about.

"Imagine if you were such a poor kid and suddenly found out that you were the general's own child …" As he spoke to here, Xu Qingzhi was lost in thought. He had completely forgotten that he was that poor boy. After being separated for so many years, he finally found his child. He must have wanted to give him everything he had. For ordinary people, this was the story. But what if the general didn't like this child? Is it because this child hates him and doesn't accept him that he was kicked out of his house and allowed to travel by himself? "

Now that the conversation had come to this, of course Chu Yinan understood. It was a year's time, but he was still confused, so he asked," But if it's like this, then it's only a year's time. What we need to face must be faced with. A year's time is the same, a year's time is a year's time.

"No, how could it be the same? The imperial government would not make a move on the Great General because of the influence of the Great General of the Northwest region and because they did not know that the Great General had an heir. However, if that Xu Qingzhi who had appeared out of nowhere suddenly took a firm footing in the northwest, and was the first to settle the internal affairs of the Great General after he stepped out of office, would the imperial government dare to make another move? "

When that time came, the reason why the Imperial Court would dare to make a move on Chu Huainan would simply be because they knew that the Northwest was formed from Chu Huainan's prestige and deterrence. After all, with so many soldiers and horses separating into two counties, Chu Huainan could even be tied as a general. If Chu Huainan was removed, then they would each have their own plans and escape routes.

Chu Yinan and Princess Huai looked at each other in surprise. They naturally understood the ins and outs of what Xu Qingzhi had said, but the most important thing was how to rein in the morale of the troops in one year. Chu Yinan was very clear that his subordinates were indeed loyal to him. However, they might not submit to him as a deterrent, but they had their own plans. Moreover, the people of Northwest China were fierce and fierce, and Xu Qingzhi... Chu Yinan couldn't help but look at Xu Qingzhi's small body.

"I know, this is not easy. But, there is one thing. "Because General Mu Rong is here, Qing'er is confident!"

Murong Qian Xun! Chu Yinan thought of the young man in white who had accompanied him during his teens to the battlefield. As for Murong Qianlou, Chu Yinan could say that he was at least a hundred times more worried. Since the Northwest Armies had four hundred thousand Steel Cavalry, all they needed to do was convince the prefectural soldiers of You Liu, You Liang, and Gan. This submission was not submission, but respect.

Just like this, on this night, Chu Huainan and Duke Huai had decided on the path of life for the future northwest young prince. After sending Xu Qingzhi back to his room, Chu Huainan and Duke Huai looked at each other and let out a long sigh.

"I don't know if Qing'er's wisdom is good or bad."

In an inconspicuous little tent on the prairie, a black robe was staring at the shattered turtle shell on the table as he muttered.

"The man who can rule the world, the man who can rule the world... "Owner!"
