Xuanyuan Fengran lowered his head, stared at Abao with dark eyes, and his throat rolled.

Po thought something was going to happen.

However, after a long time, his uncle lowered his eyes and hid his complicated gaze.

Afterwards, the royal uncle explained seriously.

"This is the only remaining vanguard cavalry from the Battle of the Vast Sea."

"Over the years, Heiqi has been running caravans between Qingzhou and the imperial capital. He gradually figured out this shortcut between the imperial capital and Qingzhou, and built an inn at a key location."

"This move is intended to warn the barbarians against returning with their evil intentions."

"If there is this shortcut, once the war breaks out again, food and supplies can be quickly transported to the battlefield, helping the Northern Liang cavalry to repel the barbarians at the lowest cost."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran held A Bao's hand and forcefully pressed the broken end of the jade whistle into the secret scroll.

Between the black characters on the white paper, the word "Phoenix" can be seen through the bright red pomegranate ink.

For a moment, Abao stared at the ancient phoenix seal thoughtfully.

Xuanyuan Fengran still held her from behind, and continued in a low voice: "When the palace guards deliver this secret scroll to Heiqi, this shortcut to the inn will be yours."

"Why give it to me?" Po was puzzled.

The old emperor is still wary of Xuanyuan Fengran, the Man-Slaughtering King.

However, her position as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace was shaky and unstable, and she might not be able to protect him.

If this Black Kirin Expressway is still under the control of Xuanyuan Fengran himself, it will at least be a way of survival and retreat.

If something changes in the imperial capital, Xuanyuan Fengran can just take the shortcut to the northern border and raise the phoenix flag again.

"Your golden trade route."

Hearing this, A Bao turned around in Xuanyuan Fengran's arms, and he looked down at her, his dark eyes warm and deep: "This shortcut from Qingzhou to the imperial capital may be able to help the Golden Trade Route."

"and……"

He seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Xuanyuan Fengran did not finish his words.

Upon hearing this, A Bao was naturally grateful to Xuanyuan Fengran for his willingness to help.

But then she changed her mind and suddenly had a strange idea.

Moreover, this idea is totally inconsistent with Xuanyuan Fengran's usual style.

Ah Bao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Uncle, are you still jealous of Zhao Chuan Ce?"

So, he couldn't finish that sentence.

Xuanyuan Fengran's dark eyes flashed: "..."

A-Bao caught his evasive gaze for a moment and asked playfully, "Is it because I used the Frost Fruit to cook his glutinous rice balls?"

Xuanyuan Fengran: "..."

Ah Bao was overjoyed: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent, right?"

Xuanyuan Fengran: “…………”

Seeing this, A Bao put his arms around Xuanyuan Fengran's strong and slender waist, stood on tiptoes in his arms, and gently rubbed his nose.

"Uncle, why are you so lovable~~"

Xuanyuan Fengran struggled for a moment, "It's only half and half."

"Oh, I know. Half of the reason is the golden trade route, and half is jealousy."

"But I'm still half jealous!"

Xuanyuan Fengran: “…” He gave up struggling completely.

As A Bao stroked the jade whistle in her palm, he thought of something more important and asked expectantly, "So, what is the use of your private seal, uncle?"

Xuanyuan Fengran hesitated for a moment, "It will be more interesting if you explore slowly on your own."

Hearing this, A Bao was completely interested, "Then can I use this jade whistle to give orders to the emperor's uncle?"

He looked down at her and she raised her eyes with a smile.

In the Zhao room filled with a gentle breeze, Xuanyuan Fengran and Abao looked at each other.

"..." Xuanyuan Fengran was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, his eyes dimmed, and he stroked Abao's lips, which had just drunk the milk, with his fingertips, and said meaningfully, "Try it."

Hearing this, A Bao smiled and stood on tiptoe, leaning close to his uncle's ear.

"Then I have to think carefully about how to use this jade whistle to order my uncle to do something interesting."

At this moment, Hongxiu's anxious report suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Your Highness! Commander Gu has something to ask you."
