Qiqi brought his four husbands and dozens of brothers to send them out with Hongqing's team of men.

Because Tian Yishui was injured, he was unable to see him off in person. The one who sent them out was Mulan Yu.

Qiqi didn't expect Tian Yishui to send them away in person, as it would be good if he didn't ask her for bad luck.

She just still couldn't understand what the benefits would be for Tianyishui when sending them to the Imperial City to participate in the Cuju competition, and what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind her?

Not to mention that Tian Yishui asked for nothing, she would not believe this when she beat her to death. She would rather not avenge her daughter than send them to the imperial city. It is conceivable how many conspiracies and tricks are hidden here.

In the past, I sent Tian Jiyun over. If Tian Jiyun could get any good results in the Imperial City Cuju competition, their Holy Water Gate would definitely be more caring for Meng Shiyue.

As long as Meng Shiyue’s help is helping, it will not be difficult to seize the entire dark city.

But what about this time? If it were her, what was Tian Yishui thinking?

The imperial city and his party must be a trap full of dangers. However, for her father and in order to explore Meng Shiyue's true strength as soon as possible, they could only bite the bullet and go to Tiger Mountain even though they knew there was a tiger in the mountain.

Of course, they also have to deploy their own plans before arriving at the Imperial City.

"Miss Murong, the journey is long and you have to be more careful." Mulanyu said, but there is no shortage of etiquette at all.

I looked up at the two carriages, and they were still the same as when they came. The carriages were big enough, not to mention three people, even if they were seated for five or six people, they would not seem crowded.

Several young men had already gotten into the car, and only Qiqi took her brothers and Xiao Yu'er and were still outside.

Something flashed in Mulanyu's eyes, but it flashed too quickly, and even Qiqi could not catch it.

Qiqi looked back at the two carriages with him, and then said to him: "We will take good care of ourselves, Mr. Mu, and I hope we can help take good care of the Linghe Branch. I will definitely thank you when I come back in the future."

Mulanyu's eyes were a little weird, but she didn't know what to say, so she just agreed: "Okay, Miss Murong, please rest assured, I will be a celebrity in Linghe Branch to watch you well."

Qiqi bowed to him, turned around and walked at the front of the team, slowly walked forward under Mulanyu's gaze.

Hongqing's team was walking in front. In addition to two large carriages, their team also had two smaller trucks with their daily necessities behind them, following them.

She had never seen Linghe Branch since the beginning, and it was still the same until now. This time she went to the Imperial City, Linghe Branch naturally would not belong to her anymore.

Speaking like Mulanyu just wanted him to know that he still wanted to come back, so let them feel that she was innocent. Before guessing Tian Yishui's conspiracy, she could only do this.

Hongqing slowed down and was obviously waiting for her. There were four carriages in his team, but each one was of average size.

When I went out, Qiqi seemed to see a few people getting on the carriage, but the distance was too far, so I didn't see clearly who were getting on.

But when I was riding by the carriage, I found that the people inside were breathing smoothly and had moderate strength, and they didn't look like martial arts practitioners.

Walking with Hongqing, she couldn't help asking, "Xiao Qingqing, who are you taking to the imperial city this time?"

Hongqing looked back at the four carriages before looking at her, and said indifferently: "It is the handsome man who the sect leader presented to Her Majesty the Queen."

Qiqi's face suddenly became strange. It turned out to be a handsome man who summoned Luo for Meng Shiyue.

She looked at Hongqing and said inadvertently: "Is this Empress really as lustful as the legendary one?"

Hongqing's eyes flashed slightly, and there seemed to be some disagreement in his eyes, but he didn't say much, and said indifferently: "Aren't the monarchs of all generations the same? They are not so lustful, they just fulfilled everyone's wishes."

However, Qiqi kept paying attention to his expression. He seemed not very happy that others would say too many bad things about Meng Shiyue. Qiqi was even more sure in his heart that Hongqing and Meng Shiyue must have some relationship. At least Meng Shiyue is a person worthy of respect in Hongqing's heart.

She smiled again and looked ahead: "This is true, which kings of all generations are not the beauties of the harem of three thousand?"

"The Empress's harem is just a few dozen people, and three thousand is an exaggeration. How could Her Majesty the Empress have so much energy to put on the men in the harem?" Hongqing said indifferently.

Qiqi kept paying attention to his attitude, but did not dare to be too obvious. He just smiled and said, "How come it is just a few dozen people? Why did I hear that every year there are a large number of handsome men who are sent to the imperial city to offer to Her Majesty the Queen? Is this also a rumor?"

"Those are facts." Hongqing's eyes were soft and his expression was still calm. He was not anxious or impatient when talking about these things. He was unhappy: "There are indeed many handsome men who send the imperial city from Qicheng and the Meng tribe every year, but most of them were given to the officials who were given to the lower heads by Her Majesty, and she almost did not leave anyone behind."

"In other words, Her Majesty the Queen is a dedicated person?" Qiqi turned his head to look at him.

Hongqing suddenly flashed a little darkness, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Qiqi frowned and said in surprise: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, Your Majesty is indeed a dedicated person. Over the years..." He looked up at the sky, and the horse was still moving forward steadily, neither fast nor slow.

The sun shone on him, and his shadow was pulled out from the ground. Such a shadow made Qiqi see a bit of loneliness and desolation.

She also once doubted whether Hongqing would be one of Meng Shiyue's male favorites, but the two were so different in age. Meng Shiyue was at least thirty years old, and nearly forty years old. Can it really attract people like Hongqing?

But whenever I talk about Meng Shiyue, Hongqing's expression always feels a little uncomfortable. Will a young man in his twenties really love a woman in his forties?

Why do she always feel that this kind of relationship is too alternative? She still can't accept it.

Hongqing didn't know what she was thinking, but he just fell into his own thoughts. After a long time, he said: "Her Majesty the Queen is not as good as the rumors outside. Her Majesty is a person with ambitions."

Qiqi doesn't speak, Meng Shiyue is her feud. Her biggest enemy is now. When she hears others say good things about her, she can't tell what she is feeling, so she can only listen and not make any comments.

Or for some people, Meng Shiyue is indeed good, it must be because they have a interest relationship with Meng Shiyue, but at least for her, Meng Shiyue is a sinner that she cannot forgive in her life.

"I heard that the people in Mengdu have not lived well over the years." She also looked at the sky, her voice was very faint, as if she was just stating the facts and did not mix her feelings.

Her eyes were far away, and she didn't know what she had seen in. She said indifferently: "When I came, I heard that in the past few years, the lives of the people of Mengdu have become worse and worse, and Mengdu Imperial City is no longer as prosperous as before..."

Without feeling Hongqing's excitement, she continued: "It is said that Her Majesty the Queen has built a large-scale construction for her own selfishness, built a gorgeous palace, and even repaired palaces for her own enjoyment everywhere, so that the national treasury is empty. In order to fill the gap, she increased taxes and made the people complain."

Qiqi has been paying attention to Hongqing's expression because he didn't know that he would not accept it when he said that.

Seeing that although his face was not very good-looking, at least he was not as angry as before, she continued: "I also heard that Her Majesty the Queen even took care of human life in order to refine the elixir and attacked innocent people."

"That's not a fairy pill, she's just trying to save people." Hongqing's hand holding the reins tighter and tighter, and his fingertips even trembled slightly: "She's just trying to save him. She's not bad by nature, but she just loves that man too much."

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and realized that he had said too much, and his expression froze, he hurriedly said, "That's all rumor. Miss Murong doesn't have to take it seriously. No matter what, Her Majesty the Queen is a kind person."

Qiqi withdrew his gaze that fell on him, sighed lightly, looked ahead and said indifferently: "It is always good to have feelings and righteousness, but people with feelings and righteousness are not necessarily suitable to be kings. She has feelings and righteousness to some people, but not necessarily to everyone."

Hongqing's breathing was messy, and Qiqi could feel this change clearly. She hurriedly said, "I'm just talking casually. Xiao Qingqing laughed. How can we know the national affairs? If you follow the master, you can make a living, just follow me, don't you?"

Hongqing didn't say anything, but just nodded lightly, as a response, pulling the reins, making the horse speed up, and no longer say anything on the road.

Hongqing was considered a generous person, except for disgusting others' beauty to joke about, otherwise, just those words just now would be enough for him to charge himself of disrespect for Her Majesty the Queen.

The two stopped talking, Qiqi just followed him for more than an hour and then turned back, handed her horse to his subordinates, and got into the sedan chair by himself.

Several young men were in the first carriage, and the second carriage was actually vacant. As soon as Qiqi entered the door, they saw them playing mahjong on the table set up. Although the four of them didn't talk or laugh, at least the distance was not boring.

This special mahjong is not brought back from now, but the kind they made before, with a knife to cut it into thin pieces of bamboo, and carve the mahjong pattern on it.

This way, it can be held in your hand, just like poker, not taking up so much place like normal mahjong, so even if the carriage occasionally bumps along the way, it can still be played in the carriage.

Seeing her come back, Mu Chu threw out a card and glanced at her. Tanyan asked, "How is it? What military information did you ask about?"
