Chapter 364 The new Queen Mother?

Chapter 364 The new Queen Mother?

Southern Jin Kingdom?

Hearing Xiao Lingqiu's words, Jiang Shouzhong was a little dumbfounded.

He looked around at the vast sea of ​​sand, thinking he was dreaming, and pinched himself hard, still feeling incredible: "Are you sure this is the Southern Jin Kingdom?"

Xiao Lingqiu was also very surprised. confused.

They entered the mysterious fairyland from the Taoist tomb in Zhenxuan Mountain and fled to various magical places. They thought they could return the same way, but ended up in the territory of Nanjin Kingdom?

This is undoubtedly too ridiculous.

Xiao Lingqiu observed for a long time, recalling the map of Nanjin Kingdom that he had seen before, and finally said with certainty: "That's right, this is the Tongqiu land of Nanjin Kingdom, absolutely."

Jiang Shouzhong's brain was completely unable to turn around.

Is there a portal here?

"What should I do? Do you want to go back and find the way again?" Xiao Lingqiu asked the man.

Jiang Shouzhong smiled bitterly: "Can you go back?"

Xiao Lingqiu was silent.

Yes, they almost came from the same line along the way. They could only keep moving forward, and there was no way out.

Seeing that the woman was very tired from carrying him all the way, Jiang Shouzhong said softly: "Please let me down first. Let's take a look and see what we should do next."

"Yeah."

Xiao Lingqiu put the man down and sat next to the hole to rest.

She straightened her hair, which was sticky with sweat, and tore off some skirt cloth and wrapped it around her feet.

Because she had no shoes, her feet had developed blood blisters along the way. She was so strong-tempered that she always endured the pain and did not tell the man.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed secretly when he saw the other party's injured foot.

This woman has a really strong temper.

Jiang Shouzhong suddenly asked curiously: "If we want to return to the continent, how long will it take?"

Xiao Lingqiu thought for a while and gave the answer:

"It will probably take It takes about half a month, not considering food and accommodation, to reach the continental border. The water route is even further, and it will take at least more than two months."

Jiang Shouzhong was surprised when he heard this: "So long? ”

Xiao Lingqiu gave the other party a general explanation of the geographical distribution of the Southern Jin Kingdom.

Most of the land in the Southern Jin Kingdom is still dominated by grasslands, but its west and north are more desert and semi-desert areas.

At this time they were in the desert area to the north.

The border with the continent is in the south.

So if you want to enter the continent, you must pass through the entire territory of Nanjin Kingdom.

As a result, the distance is naturally very long.

“Fuck!”

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but cursed, “Are you kidding me?”

What made Jiang Shouzhong even more helpless was that he In Qingzhou, he killed a prince named Wanyan Wuhai of the Southern Jin Kingdom, ruining the other party's plan.

So he and the Southern Jin Kingdom royal family are enemies.

Running to the enemy's house is simply asking for death.

Jiang Shouzhong was depressed and angry. Xiao Lingqiu didn't want to use foul language.

As the Queen Mother of Yanrong, she is now trapped in the territory of the Southern Jin Kingdom with a continental man. It is extremely outrageous.

Moreover, Yan Rong and Nan Jin Kingdom had constant friction and often clashed.

If he fell into the hands of the people of Nanjin, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although she has regained her strength now, her cultivation has not yet fully recovered. Ever since she entered the "fairy world", her cultivation has been completely imprisoned by a mysterious force, making her unable to use it.

Fortunately, when she returned to the mortal world, she could feel that the power that restricted her cultivation was loosening.

Although these cultivation abilities came from Rama’s body, when she displayed them, she at least had the strength of the Heavenly Realm.

Once restored, self-protection is no problem.

Similarly, Jiang Shouzhong also faintly noticed that the storage space in his acupoint was loosening.

The aura on the zodiac chart slowly began to flow.

In a few days, Rat, Rat and Ox should be released.

In short, everything is developing in a good direction.

——

The capital is in chaos.

No, to be precise, the continent is in chaos.

The sudden death of Emperor Zhou Chang caught the entire court and people by surprise. Before they could recover from this sudden change, King Zhou Xiao of Shu led an army to forcefully break into the capital.

The second prince, who had been left out in the cold, took out the imperial edict of the late emperor without hesitation, announcing that he would succeed to the throne and become the new generation emperor of the continent.

And abolished the position of prince of the third prince Zhou Min.

This series of events swept across like a storm, causing an uproar in both the government and the public, and plunging the entire continent into unprecedented turmoil.

Such overbearing behavior naturally made some officials dissatisfied and angrily criticized.

But Zhou Zong's response was also very simple.

Kill!

For a time, blood flowed from top to bottom of the palace inside and outside the capital.

And then, something happened again.

In order to remove the threat, when Zhou Zhong succeeded to the throne, he immediately sent people to the Qilin Camp stationed outside the capital, trying to seize military power by forging the imperial edict of the late emperor and taking advantage of the information gap.

Qilin Camp is the prince's personal army and is extremely threatening.

As long as he seizes the military power of this army, Zhou Min will no longer be able to resist.

However, the general of Qilin Camp got the news in advance from somewhere. Although he could not stop Zhou Zong from breaking into the capital in time, he did not allow Zhou Zong to successfully seize military power.

After killing the personal guards sent by Zhou Zhong to falsely convey the imperial edict, he raised troops to besiege the capital, trying to help the prince regain power.

What is even more dramatic is that a riot suddenly broke out in Chaozhou, which is close to the capital.

A rebel army took advantage of the situation.

And this rebel army supported a grandson of the former vassal king named Zhou, and in the name of the Qing emperor, they marched towards the capital.

There are also rumors that ministers who were angry with Zhou Zong and loyal to the late emperor signed an agreement with Loulan and other foreigners, intending to borrow troops and unite with the prince's own army to deal with Zhou Zong.

As a result, the once prosperous capital suddenly fell into war.

In this case, no one paid attention to the murder case in Ranfu. The regicide Queen Shura and the monks such as Zhao Wuxiu who failed to ascend were nowhere to be found.

The capital was in chaos.

On the streets, the crowds that used to be bustling now became extremely chaotic.

Shops have closed down one after another, and every household has begun to pack up their valuables and take them away.

Some people carried simple luggage and rushed towards the city gate with their families in tow, hoping to leave this place of right and wrong that was about to become a battlefield as soon as possible.

As the news spread and fermented, more and more people joined the ranks of fleeing.

Wagons, oxcarts and even handcarts were filled with luggage and belongings.

The whole scene seemed chaotic and sad.

Although officials tried to maintain order, fear made it difficult for people to feel at ease, especially when they could hear the sound of horse hooves or horns in the distance from time to time, which made them even more panicked.

Every sound will make the crowd more restless and the pace of escape will be faster.

At this time, three carriages were driving on the street.

There are all women in the carriage.

These women are the girls from Chunyu Tower.

Normally dressed seductively and in all their glory, they all now put on coarse clothes, and their faces were smeared with black ash, unable to conceal the panic in their eyes.

Among them is Qing Niang.

In troubled times, women, especially beautiful women, are the most dangerous.

Originally they planned to stay in the capital.

After all, even if it is a war, it is still a struggle for power among several princes. In order to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, the common people will always be safe.

But as the rumors spread more and more, they couldn't sit still.

Especially when I heard that someone was borrowing troops from foreign tribes, I was even more worried. After all, in the previous dynasty, foreign troops were borrowed from foreign countries, which led to foreign soldiers entering the capital and wantonly looting and killing.

Qing Niang, who had experienced the massacre in Qingzhou, no longer had any good feelings or illusions about the imperial court.

Finally she decided to take the girls and escape.

Just sitting in the carriage, Qing Niang felt empty in her heart. From time to time she opened the curtains and looked outside, hoping to see that familiar figure.

Unfortunately, apart from the fleeing people and the cavalry passing through the streets, there was no sight of the man who usually did his job. Since that time when he clearly rejected the other party, Lu Renjia has never been to Chunyu Tower again, as if he has disappeared from the world.

Qing Niang wanted to apologize several times, but she was quite confused.

As a result, it dragged on and on, but there was such turmoil in the capital. With this departure, the two may never have the chance to meet again.

It’s not that she doesn’t like Lu Renjia.

But in Qing Niang’s opinion, no man would really like a woman as dirty as herself.

Including Lu Renjia.

When a prostitute talks about love, it is undoubtedly like a fool talking about a dream.

"That's all, we have no destiny, so why dream about it." Qing Niang sighed and lowered the curtains.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped in front of Qing Niang's carriage.

The driver quickly reined in the reins.

“Qing Niang!”

The person blocking the carriage was a dark-skinned, ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was looking at the carriage panting.

Qing Niang opened the curtain and looked at the other person in confusion: "Who are you?"

"My name is Zheng Shanqi."

The middle-aged man introduced himself.

Zheng Shanqi?

Qing Niang was stunned and suddenly remembered that she had heard Lu Renjia talk about this person.

This man was originally a gambler and a gangster who made a living by stealing, but he helped Jiang Shouzhong a lot when he investigated the initial monster murder case. Later, he revealed that he saw a kidnapped girl in Xichu Pavilion.

It was precisely because of this news that Jiang Shouzhong succeeded in having the Xi Chu Pavilion closed down.

Seeing that this guy really changed his mind, Jiang Shouzhong asked Liao to arrest him and arranged an errand for this guy in the Yamen, and he didn't have much contact with him after that.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the other party suddenly came to stop her carriage.

"What do you want from me?" Qing Niang asked.

Zheng Shanqi took a breath and took out a small wooden box and handed it to Qingniang and said quickly:

"Qingniang, there is one for you in the second small courtyard in the west lane of Tangcheng Street. An old friend. Some time ago, I accidentally saw him at the entrance of the old grave. His bones were broken and he was about to die. I rescued him home.

But Mr. Jiang was not in the capital at that time, and he was wanted again. I didn't dare to tell anyone. I originally planned to find you, but your old friend wouldn't let me find you.

But now that the capital is in chaos, I can't take care of him, and I have to take my new friend with me. The wife I married fled..."

Qing Niang looked at the familiar wooden box in her hand, her delicate body trembling slightly.

She opened the wooden box.

There was indeed the twenty pennies inside.

The woman couldn't help but recall the scene in the woman's mind when the man picked up the copper coins scattered on the ground one by one and left sadly holding the wooden box.

"Qing Niang, in my heart... you are not dirty at all."

the man said as he left.

A tear slid down the woman's cheek.

“You go first!”

Before Zheng Shanqi could finish his words, Qing Niang jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Tangchen Street regardless of the shouts of other girls. Holding the small wooden box tightly in her arms.

Qing Niang passed through the fleeing crowd, avoiding the cavalry, and fell several times on the way. After stumbling, she finally arrived at the small courtyard that Zheng Shanqi mentioned.

Feeling uneasy, nervous, and guilty, the woman slowly walked to the house and opened the door.

What came into view was a figure lying on the bed.

Incredibly familiar.

Lu Renjia, who had a skinny face, was also shocked when he saw the woman at the door. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Now, I am really not worthy of you."

Qing Niang Wu He pursed his lips and burst into tears.

——

Inside the palace.

The newly enthroned emperor Zhou Zhong wiped the blood on his hands and threw the bloody knife on the ground.

This knife just chopped off the head of an official who scolded him angrily.

There was dead silence in the hall.

The strong smell of blood filled every corner.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Zhou Zong listened to the report from his men, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and the veins on his forehead were twitching.

"Fight! Then fight!"

Zhou Zhong pushed the things on the table to the ground, his eyes full of killing, "Back then, my father could fight his way through the shadows of swords and swords. , I can even fight to the Dragon Throne!"

The officials below were silent and did not dare to speak out.

At this time, an internal guard came in a hurry, came up to him and whispered something.

Zhou Zong's eyes flickered for a few times before he stood up and walked out of the Golden Palace.

Soon, Zhou Zong arrived at Fengluan Palace.

Luo Wanqing, dressed in a gorgeous gold dress, leaned leisurely on a bench in the pavilion and fed the fish in the pond.

Jiang Erliang, who practiced swordsmanship on weekdays, was nowhere to be seen.

The widow, whose husband had just died, could not see any sadness on her face at this moment, let alone wearing mourning.

Zhou Zong looked at the former mother of a country, his eyes close to her curvy body, his eyes full of heat.

The woman that the eldest prince, Zhou Huan, liked was Ye Zhuchan.

The third prince, Zhou Min, was the peony monster who once played the role of his mother and took care of him for several years.

And he——

But it was this magnificent queen.

In his opinion, this woman who behaves freely, has a noble temperament, is both coquettish and dignified, is the real most beautiful woman in the world, a peerless enchantress.

My father was wasting his resources by not being able to climb into each other's bed for so many years.

And I... have this opportunity.

“You sent so many soldiers around Fengluan Palace, are you planning to imprison me?”

Luo Wanqing's tone was lazy.

Zhou Zong suppressed the charm in his heart, stepped forward and said with a smile: "The queen is joking, I... I am protecting your safety."

"Queen?"

Luo Wanqing stared at him with a half-smile, "Am I still the queen?"

Zhou Zong stared at her with burning eyes, and there was something in his words: "If you are willing, you can continue to be the queen. ”

Hearing this, Luo Wanqing laughed.

Laughing so hard that the branches of flowers quivered.

She stretched out her jade finger and gestured to Zhou Zong: "I didn't realize before that you have such courage. I really underestimate you."

Luo Wanqing stood up.

In an instant, all the fish in the pond jumped up and turned into invisible sword energy.

Zhou Hao was shocked.

The inner guard in the distance saw this and wanted to step forward, but as soon as he took his foot forward, it exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Plop!

Zhou Zong couldn't bear the strong pressure and fell to his knees.

Cold sweat ran down the man's temples.

Luo Wanqing lifted up her embroidered shoes, stepped on Zhou Zong's head, pressed down hard, and trampled the emperor hard under his feet, causing the emperor's cheek to touch the cold ground.

"What should your Majesty call Aijia?"

Luo Wanqing asked with a smile.

Zhou Zong was filled with humiliation, but more importantly, fear.

Didn’t he use Fang Tianshu in advance to suppress this woman’s cultivation?

Why was the other party not affected?

Feeling the pressure on his feet coming up bit by bit, Zhou Zhong, who was in unbearable pain, squeezed out two words: "Mother."

"This is the good son of the Ai family. "

Luo Wanqing smiled with satisfaction and moved her feet, "I originally wanted to kill you, but suddenly I thought about it, being the Queen Mother is actually not bad, and I can't run away with wealth anyway."

She kicked Zhou Zong in the face and said with a smile:

"Go and prepare a carriage for your mother. The Ai family is leaving the palace. If you are lucky, the Ai family will find a father to come back to you. Oh no, it should be for your majesty to find a father to come back."
