957. Chapter 957 Peace Talks
Anyone who can become a secret guard must be carefully selected, not to mention Shen Yi, who can become Mo Rongzhan's confidant. His martial arts can definitely enter the ranks of masters. However, when dealing with this person left behind by Lu Lingzhi, As a child, he had to go all out to keep himself intact, let alone catch the opponent.
"Sun Jun, take someone to rescue the empress." Shen Yi became more and more worried. He wondered if the empress was safe. Lu Lingzhi left in a hurry just now. Did he know where the empress was?
"Master Shen, what should you do?" Sun Jun shouted loudly.
Shen Yi said, "I will stop them, and you will protect my wife to go to Xiazhou."
"Yes!" Sun Jun looked at Shen Yi and assessed the current situation. It was indeed more important to go to the Queen, "Master Shen, take care."
"Let's go!" Shen Yi used one against three to cover Sun Jun's departure.
When Guan Jie saw Sun Jun and the others leaving, he frowned and tried to stop them, but was blocked by Shen Yi. He took a deep breath, jumped up high, and punched Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was dealing with the other two people. When he noticed Guan Jie's movements, it was too late for him to avoid them. Guan Jie punched him hard on the shoulder.
The sound of bones breaking sounded loud and clear.
"Master Shen!" Sun Jun and the others shouted loudly when they turned around and saw this scene before they had gone far.
Phew——bang——
At this time, fireworks suddenly sounded in the distant sky.
Guan Jie, who was about to kill Shen Yi with a sword, stopped, looked up at the sky, put the sword back, and walked out of the door without looking back. The others glanced at Shen Yi who was lying on the ground. Left with Guan Jie.
When Shen Yi saw this scene, he already had a bad premonition in his heart. He knew that maybe the empress had been kidnapped.
"Sir, are you okay?" Sun Jun hurriedly came back to help Shen Yi up.
"I'm fine, go and save the Queen." Shen Yi endured the pain. His left hand was completely unable to move, but he couldn't care about the pain at this time. He just wanted to find the Queen as soon as possible.
When they came to the vegetable garden in the backyard, their expressions changed suddenly when they saw the bodies of Qianxue and others.
"Sir, this..." Sun Jun wanted to think about whether it was the two maids around the Queen who killed him, but he thought it was impossible.
Chen Yi took a deep breath, "I'm afraid the Queen has been taken away by Lu Lingzhi."
"What?" Sun Jun's eyes widened, "Sir, we don't know which direction they are going, I'm afraid it will be difficult to chase them."
"There are traces of carriages on the ground. Let's catch up along the road." Shen Yi said.
Sun Jun glanced over his shoulder and said, "My lord, your injury is too serious. It's better to stay here to heal while we go to trace the whereabouts of the Queen."
Shen Yi's face turned pale and he shook his head, "I'm fine, let's go."
They mounted their horses and chased for a long time. The traces of the carriage were soon lost on the official road. Shen Yi had forgotten his own pain and looked at the ground with frowning eyebrows.
"Sir, we have checked and found that there are only two roads here, one leads to Anhe City and the other leads to Jizhou. Jizhou is close to Qi State. Doesn't Lu Lingzhi want to take the empress to Qi State?"
Shen Yi said, "Sun Jun, let's pursue the investigation in two separate ways. You go to Anhe City. If you don't find any trace of the empress, go to Xiazhou and tell the emperor about it."
"Yes, sir." Sun Jun responded, "Sir, you'd better heal your injury first, otherwise your hand will become useless."
"The Queen gave me a bottle of trauma medicine, I will use it." Shen Yi said, the last time the Queen saw injuries on his body, she gave him a bottle of trauma medicine and asked him to take it with him. He felt that The empress's medicine must be more effective than others, so she never left her body.
Sun Jun said, "You have injured your muscles and bones. How can trauma medicine be useful?"
Shen Yi smiled at him and said, "Hurry up and go find your empress."
With that said, he had already grabbed the rope with one hand and ran towards Jizhou.
Sun Jun sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Pingjing that Tuoba Qiu has been captured by Ye Yiqing." Aduo walked in from outside and whispered to Wan Yanxi.
Wan Yanxi was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Tuoba Xuanyuan and Huangfu Chen who were standing aside.
"Then Ye Yiqing is so powerful that he can even defeat Tuoba Qiu?" Although Tuoba Xuanyuan is at odds with Tuoba Qiu, he has to admit the other's strength. Now I heard that Ye Yiqing can actually capture Tuoba Qiu. , he still couldn't hide his surprise.
Huangfu Chen said calmly, "Ye Yiqing is not an ordinary person. It is normal for Tuoba Qiu to be defeated by him. Your Majesty, you should quickly send an envoy to Jin Kingdom to negotiate peace."
Wan Yanxi glanced at Tuoba Xuanyuan. He naturally wanted to negotiate peace, but he remembered that Mo Rongzhan once said that he wanted to get Xiliang in the future. At that time, he was carrying a serious crime and was not even a prince. He only wanted revenge, and he didn't care whose hands Xiliang fell into. Now that he was the king of Xiliang, everything was different.
When negotiating peace with Jin Guo, Jin Guo will definitely make the lion open his mouth. He has not yet come up with a perfect solution.
"Mr. Huangfu, is the Emperor of Jin willing to negotiate peace with us?" Wan Yanxi asked in a low voice. His throne was secure thanks to Huangfu Chen, so Huangfu Chen's opinion was too important to him.
How could Huangfu Chen not understand what Wan Yanxi was thinking, "Your Majesty, now there are enemies on both sides of Xiliang, and Qi Ruoshui has brought Beiming Kingdom in, which is like inviting a wolf into the house. If you don't join forces with Jin Kingdom and Dong Qing Kingdom at this time, To deal with this wolf, I'm afraid you may not be able to hold the throne in the future. Once Wan Ziliang is in Xiliang, will he help Qi Ruoshui, who has already formed an alliance with him, or will he help you?"
Tuoba Xuanyuan snorted, "Are we just afraid of Wan Ziliang?"
"Wan Ziliang is not scary. What is scary is the 200,000 troops in his hands." Huangfu Chen said lightly.
Wan Yanxi's expression changed slightly, and she turned her head to look at Tuoba Xuanyuan, "Uncle, we must stop the war with Jin Kingdom."
Tuoba Xuanyuan said, "Then I will go to Pingjing to find Ye Yiqing and negotiate peace with him."
"The conditions for negotiating peace with Ye Yiqing are very simple." Huangfu Chen said quietly, "Let him take people freely to and from Xiliang. He is here for his daughter this time."
"Hasn't the Queen of Jin Kingdom been rescued?" Wan Yanxi asked doubtfully.
This question is also what Huangfu Chen wants to ask. Yaoyao has left the priest's hall for a month, but neither Xiazhou nor Ye Yiqing in Qingzhou seems to have seen her. Yaoyao should still be in Xiliang.
"If you don't dare do anything, just agree to the conditions first." Wan Yanxi said.
Huangfu Chen nodded gently, "Your Majesty, all matters have been settled now. It's time for me to leave."
"Where are you going, sir?" Wan Yanxi asked in shock.
"Anhe City." He wanted to find Qi Ruoshui to settle the grudge between them.
