【Khan Chapter 23】Dead
Trees Come Back to Life The trusted leader left by Huluoyan was called Zheqie. At dawn, he reorganized the soldiers who had been cured of the poison and gave them a lecture before going to welcome the princess.
The Khan had told them to take good care of the Khatun. If there was any problem, he would be held responsible.
Zheqie actually didn't think much of this future Khatun at first, but after Chu Jiao showed off a few tricks along the way, Zheqie withdrew his contempt and obeyed the Khan's order, regarding Chu Jiao as the second master after Huluoyan. At
that time, Chu Jiao was being helped by Hongxiu to put on her skirt, which barely covered the red marks on her neck, while Biluo was kneeling beside her, with her head down, thinking about something.
"What's the matter?" Chu Jiao asked.
"Princess, we will not set off today. Please take a rest in the post house." Zheqie did not enter the room, but reported respectfully at the door.
Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why not set off?"
"This..." Zheqie thought of the Khan's instructions and hesitated, "Princess, you have been traveling for so long, it would be good to rest more."
"What's more, thieves broke into the post house last night, and we need to set up defenses. Princess, please wait patiently."
Chu Jiao nodded, accepting this statement, and then asked, "The bearded man... um, where is your General Tuoba?"
That man is really capable. He actually disappeared after having sex with her?
Haha.
"Our general has gone to track down the thief," Zheqie said according to the Khan's order, "Princess, don't worry, I will protect you every step of the way and will never let you be in danger again!" "
Humph, he went to track down the thief..." Chu Jiao repeated, secretly hammering her still sore waist, sneering, "Okay. I want to see what he brings back to me."
Something happened last night, and Chu Jiao didn't believe that the man would just leave her here. However, I don't know if that stinky man is used to being arbitrary in this world, and he has no habit of informing her at all. Everything depends on her guess, which is really infuriating.
This time he left so hastily and left his confidant behind. Thinking of the fact that they were now in the Taihang Mountains, and that they were in the territory of Xianbei after crossing the mountains, Chu Jiao had a guess
. Could it be that he was going to change his identity?
Chu Jiao glanced at Biluo beside her and narrowed her eyes. Thinking of the plan Biluo had just mentioned, she suddenly smiled.
Well, if the Khan changed his identity and found that his queen had been replaced, I wonder what his reaction would be?
Chu Jiao just replied "I don't want to", but Biluo knelt down with a pale face and begged for mercy, as if she thought that according to the princess's temper, she would have someone kill her immediately if she was not satisfied.
Chu Jiao sent Zheqie away and reached out to help Biluo up.
"Silly Biluo," Chu Jiao wiped the tears from her face and said with "heartache", "How could I bear to let you go through fire and water?"
Biluo heaved a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the "unwilling" the princess meant was this "unwilling"!
"You are devoted to me, and I am very touched. But it has been a long and dangerous journey, and now that we have come here, I will definitely not go back."
Seeing the disappointment in Biluo's eyes, Chu Jiao changed the subject and said, "However, the method you mentioned is also a good idea..."
Chu Jiao pretended to be a little scared and hugged her shoulders, as if she didn't want to recall what happened last night. "Those thieves are too rampant! Who knows, they may come again. You can just replace me as a fake princess for a few days. When we get to Xianbei, we can switch back!"
At first glance, Chu Jiao's words were inevitably a bit selfish. If those thieves really came again, the victim would definitely be Biluo who replaced her. But Biluo felt that this was in line with the princess's cold temper, and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, sir! Princess, don't worry, Biluo will definitely protect you!"
She was very happy. As long as she played the role of the princess, Chu Jiao would never be able to switch back. She just had to find a way to get rid of Hongxiu and several other attendants. By then, everything would be up to her!

At the Juyong Mountain Pass, a cavalry regiment of nearly 3,000 people was ready to go, and a lone horse was running towards them.
"Come on!"
Just as he was about to crash into the team, the horse stopped its four hooves nimbly, and the strong man on the horse took off his helmet, revealing his face.
The 3,000 soldiers in front of him all dismounted the moment they saw his face, knelt on one knee in a neat row, placed their right hands on their left chests, bowed their heads respectfully and called out,
"Greetings to the Khan!"
"Greetings to the Khan!"
"Greetings to the Khan!"
The bearded man at the head of the team also jumped off his horse at the same time, and after saluting, he stepped forward with a grin, "Brother!"
Huluyan jumped off his horse, "My boys, please stand up!"
He smiled and punched Tuoba Hui in front of him, "You are pretty quick, boy!"
"Hehe," Tuoba Hui winked, "Aren't you anxious to see what the wife of the king looks like, so that you can charm my wise and mighty brother and use the precious eagle to send a message to urge me?"
"Get lost," Huluoyan scolded with a smile, "you are such a talkative person, so be more restrained when the time comes and don't scare your wife!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're already protecting her before you even marry her!" Tuoba Hui touched the goosebumps on his arm.
His brother, the king, had not been close to women for more than 30 years, and he thought he was going to build a temple in the palace to practice Buddhism. But this time he met someone he liked, it was like a dead tree coming back to life, a spark that set the prairie
on fire. But this was just a thought in his mind. If he really said it out loud, Tuoba Hui was afraid that he would be beaten so badly that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a month.
"Hurry up, let's go!" Huluoyan was thinking about Chu Jiao, and wanted to get back as soon as possible, get Tuoba Hui on his horse, and set off again with three thousand soldiers.
He must pick up his queen before noon!
