We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

Ye Guodong waited until dark at the finish line in the center of the forest, and only less than ten people passed the assessment.

But this was already much better than what he expected.

Even so, those who failed the assessment will still have to accept the corresponding punishment and stay in the forest for the next three days and three nights.

After this lesson, they became more serious about subsequent trainings and paid attention to every experience and assessment. Gradually, they were able to keep up with Ye Guodong's pace.

When he was leading the army, the environment was much more difficult and dangerous than in this mountain forest, but they all survived, so Ye Guodong believed that these children could become independent killers and have perseverance and loyalty that were no weaker than those of the army.

When Ye Qingran watched their training, she was surprised by Ye Guodong's training method, which was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

She thought Ye Guodong would train the assassins as soldiers, but in fact they didn't. They were still training them to be killers, but they were just as strict as those in the army.

Only then did she realize that Ye Guodong used to support the huge general's palace. In addition to the soldiers under his command, he would also secretly train his own guards, but the former Ye Qingran didn't know that.

With Ye Guodong around, Ye Qingran felt more at ease.

On the other side of the capital, Liu Xiang originally wanted to explain the arrangements for the northern border to Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun in person, but Chu Qingyun was not found and Ye Qingran was not there either, so she guessed whether he was in the village.

But he couldn't leave the capital at will yet, so he had to secretly send a message to Ye Qingran via flying pigeons.

After Ye Qingran got the letter, he was a little surprised by the content because it mentioned Chu Qingyun.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would let Chu Qingyun go to the north. Although the matter has not been completely settled, Ye Qingran felt that he was probably inseparable.

Based on her understanding of the emperor, the emperor must have felt that Chu Qingyun was a serious problem. Although Chu Qingyun had been peaceful for so many years and had never done anything extraordinary, and did not even interact with ministers or other relatives of the emperor, as long as Chu Qingyun He was still alive and was a great threat to the emperor.

Therefore, it is reasonable to arrange for Chu Qingyun to go to the northern border this time.

But she has also heard about the situation in the north. Disasters occur frequently, and now there is a plague.

Their previous exile was to be exiled to the desolate land in the north. Going to that place was no different from being directly executed.

Even when she fled with her family, she deliberately avoided the area around the Northern Territory because she didn't want to encounter natural or man-made disasters. If Chu Qingyun really went to the Northern Territory, she would probably have a narrow escape.

This matter was so important that she blew the jade whistle without hesitation.

She had to tell Chu Qingyun about this first. If she waited for the imperial edict to come down, it would really be too late.

Chu Qingyun seemed a little busy this time. Ye Qingran blew the whistle several times but did not wait for Chu Qingyun to come. He did not appear in the yard until the afternoon of the next day.

"Why are you here? I have something very important to tell you."

Chu Qingyun sat next to her and said, "Are you going to talk about the Northern Territory?"

Ye Qingran paused: "So you already know."

"Yes, I have been busy collecting news from the North these past two days to see if there is any solution."

"The solution? The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet. There may be a chance to change, but you don't necessarily have to go. Have you already received the news that the Dog Emperor is determined to let you go?"

Chu Qingyun shook his head: "That's not true, but it's almost there. How could he miss such a good opportunity?"

He smiled, "But it doesn't matter, I do plan to go to the North."

"Why? With the current situation in the north, weren't you just looking for death? Besides, the dog emperor would definitely not let you get to the north so easily. If you go back and forth like this, you will lose half your life even if you don't die."

When Ye Qingran thought about the dangers that Chu Qingyun would encounter, he began to feel anxious in his heart.

Chu Qingyun understood her worries and knew that she was caring about him, so he explained: "Don't you want me to sit on that high position? Sitting on the dragon throne means you have the responsibility to protect the people. This is the case in the north, and the people In the midst of dire straits, if I sit idly by and ignore it, even if I actually sit in that position in the future, I will feel guilty."

After hearing these words, Ye Qingran calmed down and felt a little ashamed: "I understand, but the current situation in the North cannot be solved by you alone. Why don't you go with me?"

"Since you know that the northern border is not safe, you still want to go with us?"

Chu Qingyun sighed, "Even if you have no problem, what about my uncle and aunt? Will they all be left to Brother Ye alone?"

Ye Qingran was silent.

She was worried about Chu Qingyun, and she was equally worried about her family.

Now Concubine Xian and the Emperor are staring at her and her family. If she follows Chu Qingyun to the north, the dangers on the road may be doubled.

At this time, Ye Guodong happened to come back to rest. Seeing the serious expressions of the two of them, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? Is there something going on in the capital?"

Jiang was still in the capital, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Ye Qingran shook his head: "No, we got the news that the emperor wanted Chu Qingyun to go to the north to provide disaster relief and comfort the people. I... I want to go with him."

After much hesitation, she finally spoke out her innermost thoughts.

Ye Guodong did not object, but asked: "Have you really thought about it? You know the situation in the north. It will be difficult to come back. Dad doesn't want to stop you, but he is also worried about you. 's safety."

"I understand that there is no imperial decree issued yet, and there is still room for change. But if this fact cannot be changed, then I will leave the capital and go to the north with him."

"No. Although it is dangerous here in the capital, it is still safer than in the north. You stay in the capital to take care of your uncle and aunt. I will send someone to help you. Don't worry."

Chu Qingyun stood up and said, "As for the Northern Territory, I will naturally handle it. With my ability, even if I cannot completely handle all the problems, I can at least protect myself. Trust me."

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

Ye Qingran said, lowering his head and sighing, not knowing how to continue speaking.

In his heart, Chu Qingyun is very important, but his family is equally important.

When she said she wanted to go to the north with Chu Qingyun, she had already expressed that Chu Qingyun was more important to her than her family.

Even though that wasn't the case, she really wanted to go.

Ye Guodong smiled and said: "In this capital, your father and I are not completely useless. My daughter has made her own decision, and her father is very happy, so don't worry."
