De Jing opened his eyes at this moment, looking at each other, Xuan Ye couldn't smile anymore, he hugged Cheng De tightly, and asked in a muffled voice: "Rong Ruo, don't you blame me?"

"What's your fault?" Cheng De replied calmly.

Xuan Ye said: "Blame me for letting you take risks!"

Cheng De raised his hand and patted Xuan Ye's back, and said, "Why would I blame you? Since I chose to serve as an official in the imperial court, I wanted to do some practical things for the Qing Dynasty. Since I want to do practical things, how could I still think about it?" Want to enjoy life? Isn't that contradictory? Besides, how do you know that my trip this time will be extremely dangerous, you have to have some confidence in me!"

Xuanye didn't speak anymore, he still felt sorry for Chengde, or he was afraid that Chengde would encounter some danger so that he would lose Chengde.Now they are finally able to let their relationship see the sun, if something happens to Chengde at this time, then he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Xuanye was struggling in his heart, he thought it better not to let Chengde go, he couldn't imagine what life would be like without Chengde's company in the future.Chengde has long been like air and sunshine to him, without it, he would definitely be worse than death.

Chengde knew that it was useless to persuade Xuanye at this time, he didn't think that under the circumstances that they had made careful arrangements, he would definitely have such an unfortunate accident.Of course, this possibility is not ruled out, but for Chengde now, as long as he thinks that Xuan Ye is still waiting for him here, he has the confidence that no matter what problems he encounters, he can solve them.

When Cheng De thought so, he had already lifted Xuan Ye's face and kissed him.But on this day, they bothered and troubled each other, and they only kissed and hugged each other, but they didn't have the energy to do other things. The two who were quickly comforted by each other hugged each other and fell asleep.

On the second day, Xuan Ye went to the morning court, and when Cheng De woke up, Xuan Ye was no longer by his side.He lay on the bed for a while, then got up, tidied himself up and left the palace.

When Ming Zhu came back from the morning court, she heard that Cheng De had returned, so she called him back to the study.Recently, the father and son often talked about government affairs in the study room, which was a scene that Cheng De never imagined in his previous life.

Mingzhu asked Chengde what the emperor had said when he was left in the palace yesterday, and Chengde told the story about Xuanye's arrangement for him to instigate the dragon.He thought that Mingzhu would not agree, but unexpectedly Mingzhu nodded and said: "The emperor has summoned Suo'etu early in the court, and Mo Luo and other important officials were discussing in the South Study Room, and Ama was there at that time. The emperor has formulated a very strict strategy. As long as you don't have any major problems, the danger is basically very small. The emperor has even sent someone to draft a secret edict to be sent to the governors of Shaanxi, Yijin Huoluo and other places, ordering them to step up along the way. Send troops to escort you west.”

Mingzhu said, looking at Chengde, "The emperor is very concerned about the safety of your group. If there is no accident, this will be a very easy opportunity to make meritorious service. However, the final list of missions has not yet been determined. Today, the emperor I didn’t say I would let you guys go on missions.”

After hearing this, Cheng De nodded, and said: "It doesn't matter who is the envoy in the end, as long as he can help Xuan—the emperor finish the matter in the end, that's fine."

"It's best if you think so. Ahma will see if I can replace you." Mingzhu actually didn't want her son to go, after all he was almost forty years old and had only one son. If something happened to Cheng De, the incense of his Nalan family would not be able to continue.

Cheng De gave an 'en', but didn't answer.

But Mingzhu remembered another thing, and asked: "Today, the Minister of Rites asked me if your little sister Jiayi in our family is engaged. If not, she will be registered in the register for the future Jinshi's marriage. Yours?" Didn't the emperor tell you how to arrange the marriage?"

Cheng De shook his head, remembering Xuan Ye's guarantee, he was still willing to choose to believe Xuan Ye.After all, the two of them have gone through so many things, and he understands Xuan Ye's thoughts on him, so the possibility that Xuan Ye would be willing to watch him marry someone else is almost non-existent.And Xuanye also promised that he would make arrangements, so Chengde was not as worried as Mingzhu.It's just that he couldn't explain the reason to Mingzhu.

Seeing Chengde shaking his head, Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions.In fact, he hoped that Xuanye would not bestow a marriage on Chengde, so with Chengde's current position and influence, it would be much easier to choose a good one for him.

Since the emperor didn't say anything, Mingzhu thought, let's wait.

Three days later, the Ministry of Industry has reproduced the Mongolian alliance books from the time of the ancestors.And the list of envoys this time has also come out, and Chengde is still on the list, but there is another person added to the post of military officer, Suo'etu's younger brother Xinyu, who is currently the fourth rank of Yunhui envoy of Shuntian Prefecture.

Mingzhu told Chengde privately that several other ministers believed that Chengde was too young and had no experience in leading troops, so they tried their best to protect Suo'etu's younger brother.Mingzhu comforts Chengde, that's fine, if something happens halfway, he doesn't have to bear any responsibility.

Cheng De understood it, it was just that Suo'etu wanted to share the credit.However, Chengde really didn't care too much about whether he was in charge of the military or not. Xuan Ye actually hoped that he would make use of what he had learned and watch out for this group of people, especially the missionaries, to avoid any trouble.

Based on Chengde's understanding of Nan Huairen, this simple Western gentleman really doesn't know much about the sinister human heart.

Xuan Ye's actions this time were almost swift and resolute, and it took only ten days to get everything ready.Therefore, at the end of March in the tenth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi led five thousand imperial forest troops and several ministers of the court to hunt in Nanyuan in the name of hunting.

Emperor Kangxi's hunt this time can be described as a huge scale, and he arrived at the Nanyuan paddock on the same day.Of course, this is just an illusion, and it was used by Emperor Kangxi to confuse various forces in the capital.In the Nanyuan paddock, Emperor Kangxi held a farewell banquet for the mission that night, and the mission quietly embarked on the road to the west in the early morning of the next day, heading for Shaanxi.

Cheng De was naturally also on the entourage. When he said goodbye to Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye handed an amulet wrapped in a navy blue lotus to Cheng De, and told him that he had asked an eminent monk to consecrate it. Keep it close to your body, and you must return safely.

Cheng De responded one by one, formally bid farewell to Xuan Ye, and embarked on the journey of instigating the dragon.

After seeing off the mission, Xuan Ye also stayed in the Nanyuan paddock.Various affairs in Beijing and China are handled by ministers such as Suo'etu and Mingzhu.He originally intended to stay here for a while, but he never thought that only half a month later, a letter from the middle of the capital reported that Nalan's three emperors, Chengqing, died in his sleep.All kinds of strange things happened, and Emperor Kangxi had to go back to the palace secretly.
