"That military tally..."
Xuanyuan Yu wanted to ask something more, but before he could speak, Su Huiyan frowned and said, "Don't think about the military tally anymore. Your aunt's life or death is unknown, and no one knows where the real military tally of the Su family army is. Even your father thinks this military tally is real! Just assume this military tally is real!"
Su Huiyan, who most wanted to obtain the real military token of the Su family army, gave up at this moment because of Mu Junyu's disappearance.
Anyway, no one knows where the real military tally is. Until the real military tally appears, this one is the real military tally!
...Xuanyuan Yu was speechless: "But this military token can't control the Su family army, can it?"
A fake is a fake; how can you treat it as real?
Even if they can mistake the fake for the real, will the Su family army accept this fake military tally?
“This…” Speaking of the Su family army, Su Huiyan’s headache started again: “Didn’t Mother tell you? Even if we can’t truly control the Su family army, others won’t know! We can use the Su family army to recruit other forces. As long as you have enough supporters, the throne will definitely be yours!”
It must be said that Su Huiyan is quite shrewd. Although they cannot command the Su family army, they have been using the name of the Su family army to recruit forces, and Xuan Yuan Yu did the same thing before.
However, before the real Su family army military token appeared, he could not care about the real military token. But now that the real military token has appeared, he naturally wants to obtain the real military token.
After all, this fake military tally cannot truly control the Su family army, but the real military tally can!
If he could truly gain the support of the Su family army, then he wouldn't need to care about Xuan Yuanzhi anymore, or even Xuan Yuanzhan.
And Su Xuening, she'll be his sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yu became restless and suddenly stood up, saying, "Your subject has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Su Huiyan knew that Xuan Yuan Yu was busy with state affairs, so she didn't keep him.
Xuanyuan Yu stood up, bowed to Su Huiyan, and then took his leave.
After leaving Huayang Palace, Xuanyuan Yu went directly to the Cold Palace.
He hasn't gone to the Cold Palace these past two days. Firstly, he didn't want to be angered by Su Xuening, and secondly, he wanted to give Su Xuening the cold shoulder so she wouldn't think he liked her so much that he couldn't live without her, and also to dampen her arrogance!
However, he still wanted the real military seal of the Su family army, so he still had to go to the Cold Palace.
When Xuanyuan Yu arrived at the Cold Palace in high spirits, he found that the Imperial Guards who were guarding the entrance to the Cold Palace were gone.
He felt a chill and rushed into the Cold Palace, but Su Xuening was nowhere to be found.
"Su Xuening!" Seeing that Su Xuening was missing, Xuan Yuan Yu panicked and frantically searched for her in the Cold Palace.
He searched the entire Cold Palace but couldn't find Su Xuening. In a panic, he summoned the Imperial Guards: "Where are the people in the Cold Palace? Where is the Holy Princess? And where are the Imperial Guards guarding the Cold Palace gate?"
Seeing how anxious Xuan Yuan Yu was, the Imperial Guards immediately went to help him search for people.
Soon, a member of the Imperial Guards came to report: "Third Prince, it was the Second Prince who took away the Holy Princess and the two Imperial Guards who were guarding the Cold Palace!"
"Xuanyuan Zhi!" Xuanyuan Yu was furious when he heard these words!
It turned out that Xuan Yuanzhi took Su Xuening away. What does he want? He also wants the military seal of the Su family army!
Who exactly told Xuanyuan Zhi about the Su family army's military token?
The thought that Su Xuening might have taken Xuan Yuanzhi to retrieve the Su family army's military token drove Xuan Yuanyu into a frenzy.
"All of you, come with me!"
Xuanyuan Yu immediately led a large group of Imperial Guards to give chase.
Compared to Xuan Yuanzhi's low-key approach, Xuan Yuanyu brought a thousand Imperial Guards, ten times more than Xuan Yuanzhi!
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuanzhi, whom Xuan Yuanyu was frantically searching for, had already been taken out of the capital city by Su Xuening and headed to the western suburbs.
Xuan Yuanzhi was eager to obtain the military seal, but he was also afraid that Xuan Yuanyu would discover that he had brought Su Xuening out, so he moved very quickly.
Su Xuening was naturally overjoyed to see this; the sooner they got to the western suburbs, the sooner she could be rescued.
Soon, Xuanyuan Zhi took Su Xuening to the western suburbs.
Seeing that they had traveled so far and still hadn't arrived, Xuan Yuanzhi was clearly getting impatient: "Where exactly is the military tally? You should know the consequences of playing tricks on me."
Su Xuening raised the shackles on her hands: "You treat a weak woman like me, who is six months pregnant, with such great courtesy. How could I dare to play tricks on you! I buried the military tally in the valley ahead. I'll take you to dig it up in a bit!"
Xuan Yuanzhi had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Why would someone hide something so important in some valley? And why would they need to dig it up?
However, his desire for the military seal outweighed everything else, and having already come this far, there was no turning back. Moreover, he believed that Su Xuening could not escape his grasp.
Under Su Xuening's guidance, Xuan Yuanzhi led the Imperial Guards into the western suburban valley.
Meanwhile, Pei Luo, who had been lying in ambush in the western valley for several days, sensed them the moment they stepped into the valley and immediately nudged You Yi beside him.
The drowsy Youyi was immediately awakened, and he also heard the chaotic footsteps at the entrance of the valley.
Youyi and Pei Luo exchanged a glance.
There don't seem to be many people here!
The two carefully concealed themselves and waited for them to enter the valley.
Xuan Yuanzhi led Su Xuening to the center of the valley, then refused to go any further. He turned back to Su Xuening and asked, "Where is the thing?"
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhi: "I'll lead the way."
As she spoke, Su Xuening walked to the front.
To prevent her from playing any tricks, Xuan Yuanzhi followed closely behind.
Su Xuening didn't know whether her master and the others were lying in ambush here or not. She didn't dare to look to the side. She only thought that if her master and the others were not lying in ambush in the valley, she would lead them to the stone formation, use the stone formation to delay them, and then go into the bamboo forest to ask for help.
In any case, besides the stone formation, the bamboo forest is also full of formations, so these people can't enter the bamboo forest at all.
Su Xuening kept walking forward, while Xuan Yuanzhi and the others followed closely behind her.
As they walked to a narrow part of the valley ahead, Su Xuening saw a small bamboo grove in front of them.
These bamboo trees weren't here before; Master must have set up some kind of formation here.
Su Xuening immediately walked towards the small bamboo grove. As soon as she stepped into the grove, she was overjoyed.
It's true, Master really did set up a formation here.
Sensing that Xuan Yuanzhi and the others had followed her into the bamboo grove, Su Xuening immediately quickened her pace and started running through the grove.
"Su Xuening!" Xuan Yuanzhi saw her trying to run away and hurriedly chased after her, only to find that the bamboo suddenly seemed to have come to life and quickly moved to block his way.
Su Xuening, who had just been running ahead of him, suddenly vanished into thin air.
