Chapter 337 Qin Sheng was moved by Chu Yian
Chu Yian's route basically goes around Dashun, and coincidentally, he reaches Shuoguan almost halfway through.
Chu Yian's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, I'll take a detour to find you."
A smile flashed across Qin Sheng's eyes, but was covered by reluctance.
He touched Chu Yian's head, and said with satisfaction: "My little Anzi has grown up and is going to travel far away, alas..."
This fatherly tone made Chu Yian instantly furious, and he slapped his hand away: "Get lost, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Sheng's smile deepened as he waved his hand, "Let's go. If you're any later than that, you might end up sleeping in the wilderness."
Chu Yian nodded, turned and left.
After walking a few steps, she turned her head and looked at Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng stared at her and raised the corner of his lips: "Go."
Chu Yian nodded, and when he stepped onto the carriage, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng raised the corners of his lips, opened his arms, and let her throw herself into his arms.
Chu Yian still felt reluctant to leave him: "Xiao Shengzi, I'm really leaving."
Qin Sheng: "Well, go ahead."
Chu Yian hugged him tightly, let go, turned around and got on the carriage, which slowly drove away.
She and Qi Ze left the capital secretly, each riding in a carriage, accompanied by guards dressed as servants.
Before getting on the carriage, Qi Ze looked at Qin Sheng, hoping that Qin Sheng would give him a hug.
Unfortunately, Qin Sheng's eyes were always on the carriage that Chu Yian was riding in. Qi Ze had a heart attack and got on the carriage silently.
The two carriages quickly disappeared from sight.
Qin Sheng stood there for a long time before turning around and going back home.
Chu Yian was the most noisy person in the Qin family besides Qin Rang. As soon as she left, the entire Qin family became deserted.
Half a month later, the spy hidden in Ningguo reported that the Emperor of Ningguo had sent an additional 100,000 troops to Shuoguan, which was clearly an attack on Dashun.
There are only 30,000 troops stationed at Shuoguan, while Ningguo, with the 100,000 reinforcements, has nearly 200,000 troops, several times that of Dashun.
Now with Qin Huaishu stationed at Shuoguan, and with the advantage of terrain, it is no problem to resist the 100,000-strong army of Ningguo.
But if reinforcements arrive, this geographical advantage will no longer be able to protect Dashun.
Even if we can defend Shuoguan, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Qin Sheng was ordered to lead troops to provide support and left Shengjing a month after Chu Yian left Beijing.
She never had the time to plant the peach tree she had promised to plant.
Chu Yian was assassinated shortly after leaving Beijing, but this assassination was not aimed at her, but at Qi Ze.
After dealing with the assassin, Chu Yian said, "Qi Xiaosi, don't you think we are like two cancers? No matter where we go, you and I are hated. When we join forces, our power will explode."
Qi Ze rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "You are a cancer, but I am not."
Chu Yian: ...
Qi Ze frowned: "It's strange, though. We left the capital secretly, and how come we were assassinated right after we came out?"
Chu Yian rolled his eyes: "Don't you know how much people hate your identity?"
He waved and left.
Qi Ze chased after him and said, "Don't call me Qi Xiaosi outside."
Chu Yian looked at him: "Then... Qi Ze?"
Qi Ze frowned: "Qi is the royal surname. There are not many people with the surname Qi in the world. It is easy to be exposed."
Chu Yian understood immediately, patted his shoulder, and said with an expression that said, "Well, you can take my last name, and you'll be called Chu Xiaosi when you travel around the world."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Do you want to fight?"
Chu Yian was helpless: "What should I call you then? Chu Xiaosi."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze glared at her and left Chu Yian behind.
Chu Yian chased after him and said, "I see, Chu Xiaosi, if anyone asks about our relationship, just say we are siblings, okay?"
Qi Ze closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Why are they brother and sister? Even if we have to say, shouldn't they be brother and sister?"
He stretched out his hand and gestured. Chu Yian's height was not even up to his chin. How could she have the nerve to say the words "sister and brother"?
Chu Yian blinked, looking innocent: "You don't understand, although my body will not turn 16 in two days, my mental age is already 30, so it's totally fine for you to call me sister."
Qi Ze sneered: "30? I think it's 3 years old."
Chu Yian wanted to say something, but Qi Ze made the final decision: "Okay, I'll take your last name, Chu Ze. I'm your brother, so call me brother."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian opened his mouth, and Qi Ze sneered: "You really want both. I won't take your last name anymore."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian's expression was hard to describe: "Are you a child? Are you childish? No wonder Qin Sheng doesn't like you."
Qi Ze: ...
After being shot in the knee, Qi Ze became autistic.
Chu Yian: "In this way, we don't need to be brothers and sisters anymore. You will be the leader of my guards from now on. Hmm, not bad."
Qi Ze, who instantly became a servant: ...
Qi Ze gnashed his teeth and said, "I am a prince..."
Chu Yian: "Call me sister."
Qi Ze's expression twisted, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly said: "You didn't let Qin Sheng call you sister, did you?"
Chu Yian's expression froze, and he quickly denied: "That's not true. He is my husband after all. How could that be possible?"
Qi Ze sneered, having seen through everything, but he refused to cry out: "I don't care, I am your brother when we are out and about."
Chu Yian felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
She didn't really want to acknowledge this brother, but as soon as she walked to a crowded place and someone asked about their relationship, before she could even open her mouth, that bastard Qi Ze had already forced her to be his sister.
Qi Ze looked at her with a half-smile: "Sister, come over and say hello to people quickly. Don't just stand there like an idiot. It's impolite."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian put on a forced smile and reluctantly stepped forward to quietly twist Qi Ze's waist.
Qi Ze was not angry, but in a good mood.
The first place they came to was a county under Shengjing.
After all, they were all in Shengjing, at the foot of the emperor. Although there were some problems, they were generally not serious. The two stayed for two days and then left, heading to the next place.
The silent behemoth of Baiyu Tower was completely activated. Before Chu Yian arrived at the next place, the people and things that needed to be dealt with had already reached her ears, saving her a lot of trouble.
Sometimes Baiyulou can also send the evidence along the way.
Qin Sheng and Qin Rang’s efforts were indispensable in this.
Although there were assassination attempts from time to time, they were all safe. Apart from that, the journey was unexpectedly smooth.
Qi Ze needs to hide his identity, and Chu Yian occasionally needs it.
Whenever I go to a place, the first thing I do is check the officials, and the second thing I do is check the aristocratic families.
Less than three months after leaving the capital, the emperor had received several documents from Chu Yian. She pulled many people off their posts and urged him to send people to replace them.
Or they would raid someone's house, tell him there was a lot of money, and ask him to send people to bring the money back to fill the national treasury.
emperor:……
The emperor was extremely helpless. The imperial examination had not yet begun. If he needed capable people, why hadn't he removed those old fools and parasites from the court yet?
Also, with Chu Yian and Qi Ze doing this, he really thinks they will die outside sooner or later. They should be a little more gentle.
When we were in Shengjing, the patriarch of the family would kill people without even giving us a chance to beg for mercy. He still behaved like this when he went outside.
One is his own son, and the other is the family of an important official whom he relies on. The emperor is really afraid that they will kill him.
They could only send some more people over to secretly protect Chu Yian and Qi Ze.
Qi Ze was a man who grew up in a honeypot. Although the emperor was strict with him, the biggest difficulty he had encountered since he was a child was probably that Qin Sheng treated him like a dog.
That's why he couldn't get over it for so long.
Every time I step out a little, I see Qin Sheng and am unconsciously attracted to him.
But when he came out and saw the lives of the common people and so many people who were forced into having no way to survive, he suddenly realized that love and affection were indeed worthless compared to survival.
While he was sad and heartbroken because Qin Sheng didn't like him, the people were worried about filling their stomachs.
Some people are still being humiliated, beaten, and abused, while others are clinging to their last breath and desperately trying to stay alive.
He suddenly understood why Chu Yian spent so much money to establish Jiuan.
Although Jiuan is not big and can accommodate a small number of people, it has provided a place for many women and children to settle down.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before I got over it, but only after I got over it did I understand Chu Yian’s kindness.
Perhaps, Qin Sheng was moved by her because of this.
This thought flashed through Qi Ze’s mind.
