The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 380 Chess Pieces
At this moment, Eunuch Liu really panicked.

This time the matter is so urgent, it is impossible to say that King Xian is going to abandon him and Lord Xiao Hou.

After all, for a small person like him, King Xian can throw it away whenever he wants.

Xiao Junyan obviously thought so too, his thin lips curled into a smile, his brows and eyes in the firelight became more indifferent: "Oh, at the end of my life, I actually became a discarded pawn."

The flames licked the letters and spread upwards, the hot touch climbed up, and the stars splashed out with fire.

His gaze changed from a trace of hesitation to determination, and finally to indifference.

He released his fingertips at the last moment, looked down at the letter curled up and burned into black spots, and said coldly:
"If the chess piece is wrong, I want to discard it and play it again myself. It's impossible! Who knows that this discarded piece can't find a way out?"

When he realized that he was a useless chessboard, he decided to smash the chessboard and start all over again.

The letter covered with handwriting was burned to ashes, and was blown away by the wind in front of the window, leaving no trace...

***
The boat returned to the barracks on the second day.

Taoyao still refused to go back to Beijing with him, she only said that there was fate in the future, maybe they would see each other again.

Although he was still a little worried about her, he could only give in with a helpless sigh.

She has the right to choose the life she wants, and he also has the important task of escorting the prince back to Beijing.

In the barracks, a map was spread out on the table. The prince, Yu Chonglou, Xiao Tianmo, Shen Furong and others were sitting around the table to study and discuss carefully, planning to discuss the fastest route back to Beijing.

Military Adviser Gu Yanxing stood up and said softly, "The fastest way is to go to Caohe."

Yu Chonglou looked at the coastal situation of the country marked on the map, with a solemn expression: "It's just that the continuous heavy rain has caused the water in the Cao River to swell, and the risk of shipwreck has greatly increased."

Hearing Yu Chonglou's words, the prince nodded and said: "Your analysis is correct, besides, there are not enough tank boats, and there is no time to deploy them."

Xiao Tianmo's sculpted eyebrows were a little frowned, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's better to go by land, prepare dry food, and go fast, eight hundred miles a day is not a problem!"

Everyone nodded, remembering what Xiao Tianmo said next.

Afterwards, Xiao Tianmo reminded: "One more thing, His Royal Highness will definitely face many difficulties on his way back to Beijing. We must always be vigilant and prepare for battle."

"That's right, so Caohe has to go. It's best to divide the troops into several groups and use the suspect army to cover the main army."

Shen Furong didn't like putting all her eggs in one basket, so she proposed:
"Prepare a few more sets of the prince's robes, maybe it will be able to escape the golden cicada's shell at a critical moment."

Everyone agreed with her words very much.

Xingzhou pointed to an area with his slender fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Look here, I know this place well, there is a shortcut..."

After returning to her tent, Shen Furong lay on the bed straight away: "I'm exhausted, I can finally rest for a while."

Xiao Tianmo glanced at her and smiled: "After a busy day, take a good rest, and when you return to the capital, you can relax and relax."

Hearing this, Shen Furong twitched the corners of her mouth: "I know how to make a cake for me."

Xiao Tianmo also just smiled slightly, noncommittal.

He also knew very well that if he wanted to escort the prince back to the capital smoothly, he would have to go through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way, and it was definitely not enough to have an optimistic attitude.

However, from a certain point of view, without an optimistic and positive attitude, there is no way to support and move on.

He bent down and leaned in front of Shen Furong, with a soft smile on his brows and eyes: "Why, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!" Shen Furong pushed him, wanting to get up.

Xiao Tianmo touched her cheek with the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my wife is not afraid of anything, but she can have yellow decals on the mirror, and she can also wear cold light on the iron armor."

Shen Furong burst out laughing.

Hearing her smile, Xiao Tianmo felt relieved.

He grabbed Shen Furong's hand and said earnestly: "I have already arranged the affairs of the barracks. Just in case, I will send you to Qingzhou."

Afraid that she would refuse, he patiently explained:
"The crown prince also knows about this matter. He entrusted you to take care of Li'er. Li'er is still young, so it's inconvenient to accompany the army all the way."

"Besides, the situation in the capital is unknown. Our trip back is full of dangers. Qingzhou Anxiang is the ancestral home of the Zhou family. Father-in-law is kind to the people of Qingzhou. It is the safest place for you."

Shen Furong's biological father, Zhou Xuezheng, had earlier resigned from his position as Minister of Dali Temple due to an illness in his mother's illness. He resigned and returned to his hometown and returned to Qingzhou.

Shen Furong lowered her head. Unexpectedly, she did not raise any objection, and nodded obediently: "I will listen to you."

She knew that the capital was the main battlefield.

At that time, when the two kings win the heir, there will be piles of corpses and rivers of blood, which also means danger is everywhere.

She is not afraid of danger, nor is she afraid to follow him back to Beijing, but if she stays with the army, not only will she not be able to help, but Xiao Tianmo will be distracted to take care of her.

It's better for her to go to Qingzhou to make him feel at ease.

Seeing her cooperation, Xiao Tianmo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.He is an emotionally introverted person, and he seems to have a lot to say for a while, but he doesn't know how to say it.

He was reunited with Shen Furong and his wife just now, and now he wants to send her to Qingzhou alone, he is very reluctant in his heart.

Shen Furong snuggled up to him in a natural way, he put one hand around her waist, and whispered in her ear:
"After the overall situation is settled, I will go back to Qingzhou and pick you up in person. I heard that there is beautiful scenery, outstanding people, and a place of abundance. When you take the boat, I will row the oar. If you want to watch a show, I will accompany you cheers..."

Listening to his very low and soft voice describing these details, Shen Furong felt a warm current in her heart, and gradually relaxed, letting her whole body lean in his arms.

At such a distance, she could hear his heartbeat.

The stars outside are shining brightly, tonight, the bright moon is thick...

***
Dreamers always don't know when they entered the dream.

But that doesn't matter.

Anyway, she has always had some weird dreams, either dreaming of time-traveling again, or dreaming of going back to modern times to brag.

Shen Furong hugged the quilt and sat up in a daze from the bed, she saw that she was the only one left on the bed out of the corner of her eyes, she moved her arms and legs, and began to tidy herself up.

Su Qian, Shi Yue and Li Yeyu who were waiting outside the door heard the movement.

Su Qian quickly carried the water and was about to go in, but before she could touch the door, a force suddenly came from her side, although it was not strong, it pushed her away abruptly.

She was stunned for a moment, only to see Shiyue looking up at her: "I'll help Madam wash up, you go and clean the backyard, come in when I call you in!"

Su Qian was naturally dissatisfied, and frowned, with an unhappy expression on her face: "Isn't there a handyman who cleans the yard? Why do you want me to do it?"

"Madam is living in the camp here, so it's natural that we maids should clean it up, there's no need for them."

October's dark eyes looked at her: "Why don't you go? Didn't you understand what I mean?"
