Dragon Queen

Zhezhu was not surprised that there were people in the Nanzhao palace who knew the art of magic, she already knew about it.I just didn't expect it to be found so soon.

The random arrows were fired, making it clear that Zhao Zhouxing's life and death did not matter.What's more, if Zhao Zhouxing really died, it would be a great thing.

Zhezhu dragged Zhao Zhouxing through the forest, avoiding the flying feather arrows from time to time.Walking in this way to the depths, listening to the sound carefully, it is actually in all directions.The soldiers of Nanzhao knew the terrain here, and they were surrounded by a large number of people.

Zhezhu looked up, pointed to a big tree surrounded by it, "Go up."

The tree was smooth, with no branches a few feet above the ground. Zhao Zhouxing observed it for a long time and shook his head in embarrassment.

The sounds of search and arrest gradually increased, and the fire in the forest flickered, clearly not far away.

Zhezhu glanced at the tree, pulled Zhao Zhouxing's back collar with one hand, and threw it directly onto the tree.

Zhao Zhouxing yelled, which immediately attracted the soldiers' attention. From searching around aimlessly, the direction became clear.

Zhezhu leaped, jumped onto the tree lightly, and covered Zhao Zhouxing's yelling mouth.

The search soldiers came quickly, and the torches under the tree followed the crowd. They searched carefully for a long time, but they couldn't find Zhao Zhouxing.

Several leaders waved their hands and led the soldiers away.

After a long time, after making sure that there was no one around, Zhezhu let go of his hand, and Zhao Zhouxing let out a big breath, "I almost suffocated to death."

Zhezhu jumped down, "Come down."

Zhao Zhouxing checked the distance with his eyes and shook his head.It's so high that you can't die if you fall, or you have to break a leg.

Zhezhu opened his hand, "Come down."

Zhao Zhouxing hesitated, deeply doubting whether such a small person like Zhezhu could catch him.

However, even with such a small stature, he was like a wrestler just now, throwing her into the tree with one hand.

Zhao Zhouxing gritted his teeth and jumped down.

As expected, Zhezhu didn't catch her.

Not only did he not catch it, he was also pushed to the ground.

Zhao Zhouxing quickly got up, "Are you all right?"

Zhezhu shook the leaves on his clothes expressionlessly, and pulled Zhao Zhou back the same way.

The soldiers came and went even faster, and within a short while, there was no one in the forest.

Zhezhu walked to the place where she had been lying before, and suddenly felt a red light flickering in the distance, she was wondering, but when she looked carefully, it was a burning mountain.

After billowing thick smoke rose, Zhao Zhouxing watched for a long time before realizing what happened, "They actually came up with such a way."

Zhezhu looked down at his palm, leaned against the tree trunk, and sat down.

When the fire burns the mountain, there are two results. The prey will be sent to the door, or the prey will be turned into coke.

It's a dead end.

Zhezhu was waiting, and Zhao Zhouxing made a choice.

Zhao Zhouxing stared stupidly at the billowing smoke that covered the moon, "What should I do, am I going to die, Zhezhu, can we escape?"

"Hmph, where are you going to escape? Can you escape, Emperor Zhao?"

A crisp voice came from behind the tree, and Zhe Zhu immediately recognized the owner of the voice, "Yi Yu."

Zhao Zhouxing was surprised, she didn't understand why Yiyu was here, but Yiyu just smiled "hehehe", took out two talismans, and slapped Zhao Zhouxing and Zhezhu on the forehead, "Listen, Emperor Zhao, here's It’s a fire warding talisman. If you don’t want to die, remember to follow me later. The guards in the northeast direction have been stunned by me, and you must leave here while no one notices.”

After Kazuha finished speaking, he immediately walked along the planned route.

Zhao Zhouxing followed behind at the fastest speed, and gradually felt that her physical strength was unsustainable. Although she knew that she was in a dangerous situation, death seemed still far away.

Yiyu ran in front and stopped suddenly, "If you are pulled by others, you will go, and if you go by yourself, you will go. In the end, you have to go. You know that if a donkey pulls a mill, if it is not willing, no one can drive it away. But that donkey only likes carrots hanging in front of his eyes, Emperor Zhao, don’t forget, you have your subjects all over the world.”

Zhao Zhouxing leaned on the tree trunk and gasped for breath, his expression sullen, "The subjects of the world are not what I want."

"Really?" Yiyu asked back, "Northern Liang Murong Yu led troops to attack Zhao State, and captured three cities in three days. Wen Renhe asked me to send a letter to you. Those old and immortal are still waiting for you to go back and decide. Zhao Emperor, since you are an emperor, you should understand your responsibilities, if you really don't like it, why don't you give up this position to Fu Zizhou, and save me a lot of effort."

Zhezhu looked at the flames, and suddenly said: "The emperor's heart is shaken, and the country is about to perish. Someone asked me to count Zhao Guoqi, so I don't want to make a mistake."

Silence for a while.

"Zhezhu, let's go. Even if we lose this time, it doesn't matter." Yiyu pulled Zhezhu, "I want to see how long that bastard can be proud."

But Zhezhu said: "My dear one, my mother is dead."

Zhao Zhouxing was shocked, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head, making her awake from head to toe.Xie's whole family died because of her alone.She didn't want them to die, but they had to die.

At such a price, she has no right to give up.Strong enemies are rampant, and the hearts of the ministers are unstable. The Zhao family's world should not be like this.

Zhao Zhouxing let go of the hand holding the tree trunk, and said to Yiyu, "Please lead the way."

Yiyu tilted his head to look at Zhao Zhouxing for a while, let out a "hum", turned and walked forward.

With Yiyu's help, they quickly left the capital of Nanzhao.I bought two horses in a small village, and traveled fast all the way, picking trails. Nanzhao is a small country, so it took only two days to reach the border of Zhao State.

It's night again, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A few people have stepped into the land of Zhao State, Zhezhu got off the horse, and bowed to Zhao Zhou, "There is an arrangement for the road ahead, so Zhezhu will leave here."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhouxing said without knowing, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

Zhezhu looked at the shadows in the mountains, "Ask."

Zhao Zhouxing wanted to ask again, but Yiyu was impatient, "It won't take long here, and if people from Fu Zizhou find out, there will be more trouble."

Zhao Zhouxing frowned rarely. She stretched out her hand to untie the Panlong jade buckle hanging on her neck, and handed it to Zhezhu, "If Zhezhu wants to leave, I will not stop him. Please accept this. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can Come see me for that."

Zhezhu took it, and also took off the jade pendant around his waist, and gave it to Zhao Zhouxing, "This thing can save lives."

"Thank you." Zhao Zhouxing hid the jade pendant, turned his horse's head, "Farewell."

Yiyu looked at Zhezhu, "I will look for you after I send Emperor Zhao to the place."

Outside Licheng, the Lotus Temple.

Zhao Zhouxing followed the abbot in the dark corridor, but Kazuha left without entering the temple.At this time, she was left alone, and for some reason, she gradually felt that the abbot was suspicious.

The abbot escorted her to a dark wing and opened the door, "Please, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhouxing hesitated for a moment before stepping over the threshold.

The door quickly closed behind him.

Zhao Zhouxing immediately raised his heart in his throat.

"What can your majesty gain from this trip?"

Zhao Zhouxing was stunned for a moment, "Wenrenhe?"

Wen Renhe said "tsk tsk" several times, "tsk tsk tsk, why did your majesty go out and become so rude."

Zhao Zhouxing twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's a pedantic national teacher."

Wen Renhe shook his head, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. However, it is not convenient to discuss this matter here. We can discuss it after His Majesty returns to the palace. I have prepared a carriage for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will go with you."

Wen Renhe touched the bed, and opened it to reveal a secret passage.

The two walked along the secret path for an unknown amount of time when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from above.Wen Renhe knocked on the iron plate above his head and pushed it upwards, a beam of light instantly illuminated the entire hole.

There were escorts outside, and I heard that they sent Zhao Zhou to the front of the carriage, "If there is no danger on the way, Your Majesty can rest for a while. I will leave now."

After Wen Renhe finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and a paper figurine cut out of yellow paper fluttered to the ground.

Zhao Zhouxing twitched his eyebrows, lifted the curtain, and was about to go up, only to find that there was already a person inside, but it was Liuzhu.

"Where is Liumo?" Zhao Zhouxing blurted out.

Liuzhu bowed slightly, and whispered: "The princess comes up first and then speaks."

Zhao Zhouxing got into the carriage, and as soon as the curtain fell, Liu Zhu laughed, "The one driving outside is Liu Mo."

The carriage was already running, and Zhao Zhouxing wanted to lift the curtain to see, but Liu Zhu stopped her, "The national teacher said that although all the confidants are sent, it cannot be guaranteed that nothing will go wrong. It is better for the princess to show up less."

Cars and horses travel day and night, and when they pass Luanling, they feel unbearably cold.And far away from the southwest, Zhao Zhouxing sent people to buy some clothes to keep out the cold.

The man came back quickly, Liuzhu stretched out half of his body to pick it up, the man suddenly lifted the curtain, clutching a poisoned dagger in his hand, and stabbed Zhao Zhouxing.

As soon as the blow was successful, the man immediately used his body shape, intending to escape, at this time Liu Mo had already reacted, swung the long sword, and cut off a head on the spot.

When I looked up, I realized that it was an unfamiliar face. The person who went out to buy things had already been murdered.

Liumo immediately returned to the carriage and let go of the reins, "Let's set off immediately, don't delay. Drive—"

The carriage was jolting violently, Zhao Zhouxing clutched his chest with a frightening expression on his face.Liuzhu was incoherent in fright, "Princess, princess... what should I do... stop, stop! The princess is injured!"

The horse neighed, the people stood up, the people in the carriage slammed, and the car stopped.

Liu Mo was worried about a surprise attack, so she didn't dare to lift the curtain, and asked outside, "Is it fatal?"

"I'm fine..." With a trembling voice, Zhao Zhouxing lowered her head, looking like she was surviving a catastrophe, she untied layers of clothes with trembling hands, took out the jade pendant, and forced a smile: "I don't know what kind of jade this thing is, it's quite strong."

Zhao Zhouxing was assassinated for the first time in her life, and when the assassin died, she almost died of fright.
