Outlaw

In other words, Zhang Ru's sister is the imperial concubine of Daxia.

Only Zhao Shanhe could tolerate it again and again.

Change it to someone else...

He was shot to death long ago.

There is no way, there is someone behind Zhang Ru.

Even so, the pressure released from Zhao Shanhe still made Xiao Beichen feel suffocated.

too strong!

He clearly felt that he was not facing one person, but thousands of troops.

call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath, met Zhao Shanhe's gaze, and said deeply: "I won't do anything to the Dongqing Four Regions within a month. If you agree, I will return your son to you in one month!"

"Insolent!" Zhao Shanhe was furious: "How can my son's life be used for trading?"

Click!

Xiao Beichen didn't waste any time, and squeezed Zhao Dong's neck harder.

Zhao Dong's face turned red and he was breathing rapidly: "Dad, save me!!! I was arrested for the great cause of Zhendong Palace. Dad!!!"

Zhang Ru couldn't stand it anymore and was very nervous: "Zhao Shanhe, why are you still in a daze? Express your stance!"

Good guy!

This Zhendong Princess is definitely a god assist.

Zhao Shanhe did not coddle Zhang Ru this time: "Honey, don't panic, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Zhang Ru refused to give up: "My son is going to be crushed to death now, you still give me the answer of a hammer?"

Zhao Shanhe suppressed his anger: "This is a negotiation! Even if I agree to him, he will not let my son go immediately, but will continue to hold my son hostage for a month. What if...he is not trustworthy."

Only then did Zhang Ru realize the seriousness of the problem, her mood eased a lot, and she glared at Xiao Beichen: "Xiao Beichen, let my son go immediately. In this way, Zhao Shanhe can promise you."

Xiao Beichen's hand became stronger and stronger: "No. I don't trust Zhao Shanhe. What if Zhao Shanhe immediately attacks our Dongqing Four Regions in order to return your son?"

Zhang Ru: "Zhao Shanhe can write a letter of guarantee!"

Xiao Beichen: "The guarantee letter is of no use."

Zhang Ru: "..."

This young man is not easy to deal with.

Zhang Ru was shaking with anger, but didn't know what to say. Finally he snorted: "Zhao Shanhe, you said you would give me a satisfactory answer."

Then, she turned her head and stopped talking.

Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath: "I have been in charge of the sixteen regions of Eastern Daxia for forty years, and this is the first time someone has threatened me with my son's life. Xiao Beichen, your courage is commendable. If you don't let my son go immediately, All of you are going to die today.”

"If you don't let my son go, you want me to make a promise? Impossible. Because I don't believe you either!"

Xiao Beichen said: "Zhao Shanhe, if I were you, I wouldn't be so stubborn. Let alone wade in this muddy water."

Seeing that Zhao Shanhe was silent, Xiao Beichen continued: "Your wife's sister is Xia Shantu's mother-in-law, a noble concubine of the current dynasty. She has a transcendent status. The Zhao family in the imperial capital is a powerful family in the world. With this backing, your status is stable. But you You actually want to use my head to give Xiao Junlin a certificate of surrender! How naive."

"As long as your wife is Zhang Ru, you will never be able to get rid of your relationship with the Zhao family in the imperial capital. Even if you give Xiao Junlin a certificate of honor, Xiao Junlin will not reuse you. On the contrary, Xiao Junlin will guard against you. He thinks you are a spy sent by the Zhao family of the imperial capital. He will even use you to deal with the Zhao family of the imperial capital."

"In the final analysis, you will always be a tool in Xiao Junlin's hands."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent!

Only Xiao Beichen dared to say such things.

Chen Jiaoya on the side admired Xiao Beichen a little.

This guy looks very impulsive, but in fact he also uses his brain.

Reckless men are not scary.

But the reckless man who uses his brain...that would be terrible.

Zhao Shanhe's expression softened: "Continue!"

Xiao Beichen said: "On the contrary, if you follow Xia Shantu and the Zhao family, you are alone. Only then can you be truly reused. This is your fate and you can't escape it. If I were you, I would take it seriously. Your destiny. Instead of hoping to get rid of it, it is better to work hard to change your own destiny. If you have this intention, it is better to think about how to support and assist Xia Shantu."

These words hit the nail on the head!

Zhao Shanhe listened: "Continue talking."

Xiao Beichen said: "This time I let the four regions of Dongqing be hung with the Kowloon flag. It is a direct struggle between me and Xiao Junlin. If I were you, I would not get involved and provoke this hot potato. Wait for a month Later, Emperor Xia came here on his eastward tour and asked Emperor Xia to handle it."

"Sit on the mountain and watch the confrontation between me and Emperor Xia. You have nothing to worry about. Even if I fail, you will be incapable of governing at best, so I will transfer you away. There is no problem in saving the lives of the whole family."

"If I win and you join Xiao Junlin's camp, I will never let you live."

Zhao Shanhe said: "What qualifications do you have to defeat Emperor Xia? Emperor Xia will come here on his eastward tour in a month, and he can decide the overall situation with just a raise of his hand."

Xiao Beichen: "My master is the empress! My mother is Lan Jiuye, the next Snow Emperor. How do you know that I will definitely lose?"

Move these two backstages out.

Zhao Shanhe fell silent.

Indeed, it is theoretically possible to win.

Xiao Beichen continued: "Within one month, you will not take action against the four regions of Dongqing. One month later, I will return from Beiliang and release your son."

Zhao Shanhe said coldly: "Why should I believe you?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Because Xia Shantu helped me when he was in Longshan, Huaidong. There is a good relationship between me and him. Your wife is Xia Shantu's aunt. I don't want to destroy this good relationship unless it is absolutely necessary. .”

Zhao Shanhe fell silent.

At this time, Zhang Ru said: "Stop ink, promise him. No matter he wins or loses, he can ensure that his son is fine. Ever since you practiced that bullshit chrysanthemum magic skill, you have become infertile. Without this son, you will be infertile for the rest of your life." There won’t be any seeds!”

"Zhao Dong is your only son!! More important than anything else!"

hiss!

Zhao Shanhe was trembling all over, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

This wife is poisonous!

Is it possible for him to say such things openly?

I, the majestic Zhendong King, don’t want to lose face?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Zhao Shanhe coughed repeatedly to cover up his embarrassment, and finally said: "Okay. I promise you. Xiao Beichen, please remember, if my son has any shortcomings, I will push the Dongqing Four Regions aside even if I risk my life!"

call!

Xiao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, see you in a month. Farewell!"

After saying that, Xiao Beichen took the people away without looking back.

"I'll see you off!" Chen Jiaoya also followed.

She didn't want to be alone with a pervert like Zhao Shanhe.

Eh!

Zhao Shanhe sighed: "This son is not simple. If he can really persuade the empress to come forward, and if he can get the empress to support Xia Shantu, maybe Xia Shantu really has hope of becoming the crown prince."

snort!

Zhang Ru snorted coldly: "Zhao Shanhe, you don't take me seriously anymore. You hide things like submitting certificates to Xiao Junlin from me. Don't you think about me? Don't think about my sister? ?”

Zhao Shanhe sighed: "I didn't consider this matter well. I was too worried about being dismissed by Emperor Xia. Now it's better to give him a chance to go to Beiliang. It depends on whether he can persuade the empress. Moreover, I am really infertile, and I only have this one son... I can’t divorce my wife at any cost. Otherwise, how can I meet my ancestors when I’m in the underworld?”

Zhang Ru snorted coldly: "I told you not to practice the chrysanthemum magic skill, but you have to go. What is the difference between me and a widow these years? A useless man!"

Zhao Shanhe had cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "..."

"Honey, don't be angry. Why don't you turn around and I'll find a tiger's whip to take you back?"

"Disgusting, get out!"

……

Out of Tianbao Pavilion.

Chen Jiaoya secretly gave Xiao Beichen a thumbs up: "Xiao Beichen, you are awesome."

Xiao Beichen was very calm: "Is what Zhao Shanhe said reliable?"

Chen Jiaoya said: "It's reliable. And Zhao Shanhe has Zhang Ru to control him, so it's okay. For Zhang Ru, Zhao Dong's life is more important than anything else. Don't worry. I'm worried that they will assassinate you along the way. It's best. Don’t fly north.”

"If there is any movement in Zhao Shanhe, I will contact you at any time."

"Chen Jiaoya, thank you very much." Xiao Beichen thanked him, and then left Dongyun Prefecture with An Ruoxue and Ye Zichen overnight, heading north overnight.

As for Zhao Dong and Song Gu, they were included in the Najie Space.

The three of them walked and ran wildly.

A strong person in the Qi Creation Realm can travel extremely fast.

You can create Qi at any time, almost without rest.

Go as hard as you can, no matter how many miles you travel in one day.

Five days later, the three of them arrived at the dividing line between Daxia and Beiliang.

In this desert, I saw the boundary monument of Beiliang.

Xiao Beichen stepped forward and stroked the boundary monument, filled with emotion.

"I've been out for more than half a year, and I'm finally back to Beiliang. Come on, we'll be safe once we enter Beiliang."

Take the lead and step into Beiliang.

Beiliang has a total of seventy-two domains, and the land is vast, although it is not as large as Daxia's hundreds of domains. But it’s not much different.

Along the way, the three of them were traveling very fast.

Soon, the three of them entered the realm of Kunlun.

Looking at the rolling and towering mountains in the distance, An Ruoxue couldn't help but slow down and looked from a distance: "Is this the Kunlun Mountains?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Yes, the Kunlun Mountains are also a large mountain range at the junction of Beiliang and Daxia. However, most of the [-] miles of Kunlun belong to Beiliang. I once practiced martial arts in the Yaochi Palace in Kunlun. The empress master is also considered People from Yaochi Palace."

An Ruoxue's heart surged when she saw it: "Then where is the capital of Beiliang?"

Xiao Beichen said: "Kunlun is thousands of miles north of the Great Northern Desert. The land in Beiliang is not as fertile as Daxia. Except for Kunlun and several other mountain ranges, most of the other areas are deserts and grasslands. Inaccessible. It is a bitterly cold place. It is precisely because of this that Daxia has not been able to capture Beiliang for thirty years. It is because it is too bitter and cold here and the soldiers of Daxia cannot adapt to it. It was not until my master came out that he conquered Beiliang for seventy-two years. area."

An Ruoxue was a little sad after hearing this: "It seems that Daxia occupies the best place. Beiliang and Qianshan Snow Region are both bitter and cold places. On the one hand, Daxia looks down on it and does not want to use a large number of troops. And Coming to these bitter cold places has become a natural barrier, ensuring that the Snowy Mountains and Northern Liang will be worry-free for many years.”

Xiao Beichen nodded: "That's right. But compared to Daxia, I prefer the land of Beiliang. Let's go to the land of Beidou in the Great Northern Desert."

An Ruoxue was curious: "The land of Beidou?"

Xiao Beichen explained: "In the core of the Great Northern Desert, there are seven most majestic cities, arranged according to the Big Dipper. The headed Tianshu City is the capital of Beiliang."

An Ruoxue asked no more questions and hurried on.

The three of them traveled desperately, crossing deserts, seeing prairie, and passing countless city-states.

Two days later, the three of them arrived at Tianshu City in the land of Beidou.

A majestic and vast city stands in the desert thousands of miles away.

A creation made by heaven.

An Ruoxue and Ye Zichen were both deeply shocked by this scene.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a majestic city in the deepest part of the desert.

Much more impressive than Yunzhou City.

Standing at the gate of the city, Xiao Beichen breathed a long sigh of relief and opened his arms to embrace the familiar sky: "Finally we have arrived at Tianshu City. Let's go in. I will take you to see my former North Prince's Mansion."

Three people entered the city.

The folk customs here are fierce and the martial arts are extremely prosperous. And the people are warm and simple.

It gives people a flavor that is a little less socially sinister.

Tianshu City is too big.

Moreover, the architectural styles are mostly castles, which are different from those in Daxia.

After arriving at the North Palace, the three of them were once again shocked by the grandeur of the palace.

An Ruoxue expressed disbelief: "I heard that you were the Xiao Bei King of Beiliang five years ago and lived here?"

Xiao Beichen was in a good mood: "Haha, are you impressive?"

An Ruoxue suddenly said: "Magnificent! Really magnificent!"

"Let's go in and treat you to a drink." Xiao Beichen took the lead and knocked on the door of Beiwang Mansion.

The one who opened the door was A Liang.

Xiao Beichen After Zhong Hai fought against the Nine Saints, A Liang, Xue Wu, Chen Yuqiong and others all left Zhong Hai and returned to Beiliang.

When they met again, Aliang thought he had been dazzled. He quickly wiped his eyes, and after confirming again and again, he was overjoyed: "Prince, you are back!!"

After saying that, he yelled at the palace: "Your Majesty, he's back, come out quickly!"

Swish!

A group of people rushed out.

Blood Dance, and a group of familiar subordinates!

Xiao Beichen was filled with emotion when he saw his old friend again.

Xuewu stepped forward, excited: "My lord, you are finally back. Come in quickly!"

Entering the palace, Xiao Beichen was startled.

Everything here remains as it was originally.

Even the rooms, halls, martial arts training ground, and military training ground are exactly the same.

Xue Wu explained from the side: "After you resigned as Xiao Bei King, the empress personally ordered that everything here be preserved. Moreover, you were granted the permanent position of Xiao Bei King. From then on, there was only one Xiao Bei King in Beiliang. The newly appointed army Boss Fang also uses another name."

Xiao Beichen was a little tearful.

The empress is as kind as a mountain to herself.

Okay, it's too outrageous.

When he came to the kitchen and saw that the kitchen utensils for grilling fish were still intact, Xiao Beichen shed tears.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen finally came to his senses: "A-Liang, let me start cooking. We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time to get together. After dinner, change clothes and go to the Empress Palace."

Xue Wu was very excited: "I will cook it myself."

A Liang: "I'll light the fire."

Soon, a delicious meal of Northern Liang flavor was served.

Ye Zichen and An Ruoxue had a big appetite.

More than a dozen subordinates gathered around, watching and smiling.

They really like this King Xiao Bei.

Considered like family.

Not long after, two familiar footsteps came from outside the door.

Aunt Thirteen and Chen Yuqiong walked in.

"You brat, you didn't even say a word when you came back."

"Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Xiao Beichen smiled: "I just arrived and I didn't have time to inform you. Sit down quickly and let's eat together. But there is no grilled fish today, haha..."

The two of them sat down and enjoyed themselves.

Xiao Beichen felt the deep warmth for the first time since leaving Beiliang.

……

After dinner, Xiao Beichen arranged for Ye Zichen and An Ruoxue to stay at the palace.

Take a shower and change into formal clothes.

Gather in the hall.

An Ruoxue and Ye Zichen both changed into black suits and straight trousers, which were straight and formal.

Their expressions were tense.

We are about to meet the Empress, can we not be nervous?

Xiao Beichen said calmly: "Don't be nervous, my master is very kind. Let's go to the Empress Palace."

The three of them set off, leaving Beiwang Mansion and crossing hundreds of kilometers.

Finally arrived at the gate of the Empress Palace.

hiss!

An Ruoxue and Ye Zichen gasped!

He stared blankly at the huge palace in front of him.

I was completely shocked by this majestic momentum.

An Ruoxue: "Is this the Empress' Palace? It's so majestic. It's almost as big as the Great Xia Palace."

Ye Zichen was very excited: "The status and strength of the empress are not inferior to that of Emperor Xia. It is reasonable and reasonable to have such a majestic palace. Moreover, I think it is too low-key. I can make the palace more grand."

Xiao Beichen took the lead and entered.

Soon I saw a man wearing a battle armor who was leading a patrol.

"Xiao Beichen, you're back!" When the man saw Xiao Beichen, he couldn't help but rush up and give Xiao Beichen a big bear hug: "Brother, I miss you so much, hahaha!"

Xiao Beichen chuckled and said, "Brother Mo. I miss you too."

After some pleasantries, Xiao Beichen introduced both parties: "Xiaoxue, Zichen, this is my sworn brother Mo Yi. The commander of the imperial army in the Empress Palace. When I first came to Beiliang, he was already the commander of the imperial army. Now His strength ranks among the best in the entire Beiliang."

"Brother Mo, these are my two friends, Xiaoxue and Zichen."

Both parties shook hands and greeted each other.

Mo Yi is very rough and heroic.

"I'll take you to the study to rest first!" Mo Yi led Xiao Beichen and the others into the study, and asked people to serve tea. He explained: "Now is the time for the great court meeting that happens once every half month. The empress comes to the court in person to discuss matters. When the court meeting is over, The Empress is here."

Xiao Beichen was startled: "Master Empress doesn't go to court very often. He rarely goes even to large court meetings. Has anything happened in Beiliang recently?"

There are two types of court meetings in Beiliang.

The empress would not go to the daily Umrah meeting.

In principle, the Empress would go to the semi-monthly court meeting... but actually she didn't go there very often.

Every time I go, it's a big deal.

Eh!

Mo Yi sighed: "Beixiang and Daxia have not been at peace recently. Small-scale wars have occurred, and they have become more and more intense. Only now does the empress come to court in person. Otherwise, the empress will not care about specific affairs."

Xiao Beichen was surprised.

Anything that can bring the empress to personally appear is a big deal.

Daxia and Beiliang are starting to work together?

"Daxia and Beiliang have always had a tacit understanding, how could they start working together?"

Mo Yi shook his head: "It's hard to explain in words. I don't know much. Today's court meeting will be attended by all the big guys from the Thirteen Gates of Beiliang. I'll tell you in person when the empress goes to court. I have to go on patrol, so I'll leave first. When I get off work, I’ll have a drink with you, but don’t run away.”

Mo Yi left after leaving a word.

In the study, it was quiet.

Xiao Beichen had a vague premonition...

Ye Zichen and An Ruoxue both felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Not long after, there was a sound of high heels outside the door.

So familiar!

Xiao Beichen stood up instinctively.

An Ruoxue and Ye Zichen also stood up nervously.

Empress, are you coming?
