Chapter 273 The Emperor Returns

The hot summer is the most grueling for the soldiers in the military camp.

Training under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, and the fair and delicate skin can be tanned in a month.

Yan Li persisted with the soldiers for three months in the hot summer, regardless of wind and rain. Her strong will and extraordinary talent made people admire her.

From the initial bow shooting to the exquisite horseback shooting.

From the initial sluggishness when holding the long spear to the flexible and neat spear dance.

The delicate white skin was sunburned, sweating, and the hair stuck to the face.

They saw it bit by bit.

The unprecedented shock made them respect this teenage girl, and at the same time shocked by her rapid progress and high talent.

Time passed day by day in this deep-rooted emotion, and admiration gradually turned into sincere admiration.

Spring went and autumn came, and April passed in the blink of an eye.

The frightening and oppressive atmosphere in the court finally showed signs of easing, but with the arrival of the autumn execution, the smell of blood was faintly floating in the imperial city.

In four months, some people disappeared from the morning court and some were replaced.

No matter how many changes the situation had, the new and old faces changed, Yan Li's steps to Jin State could not be stopped.

In early September, Yan Li finally said goodbye to Emperor Zhaocheng.

Emperor Zhaocheng ordered people to prepare a grand palace banquet and personally served her.

At the same time, for the friendship and exchange of courtesy between the two countries, he decided to arrange several envoys to escort Yan Li to Jin State to greet the emperor and empress of Jin State on his behalf.

"Four months ago, the queen of Jin State came to Mu State in person, and we should also send envoys to Jin State to express the friendship between the two countries." Emperor Zhaocheng said, "There is a way to make friends if there is a give and take."

The ministers nodded one after another and proposed that King Jing lead the troops to go.

But King Jing is now at a critical moment, and his status is very different from before. Emperor Zhaocheng does not want him to take risks, so he rejected the suggestions of the ministers and arranged Ling Ning to lead the team to escort Yan Li, and promised to complete the wedding for King Jing and her when she returns safely.

Ling Ning accepted the order and thanked him.

On the third day of September, Yan Li officially left Mu State with 3,000 elite soldiers. At that time, Mu Cang had not returned, but Yan Li had received his letter.

King Xijiang is already completely under control, and his troops still need to be reorganized and subdued. Before the Gu family is executed in the autumn, they will take King Xijiang back to the imperial capital.

The situation in Mu State has stabilized at this point. Emperor Zhaocheng has fulfilled his wish to reduce the power of the vassal states and cleaned up some of the pests in the court, creating a slightly clearer court for King Jing.

Next, King Jing needs to train civil officials and military generals himself so that they can be more loyal to him when he ascends the throne in the future.

Rong Xiao has returned to the South.

He is a general of the Southern Kingdom, and it is not appropriate for him to stay in the Mu Kingdom for a long time. However, Yan Li is surprised that for such a long time, the people on the Mu Kingdom side have always been against her.

Even if the Southern Kingdom follows the trail of Rong Xiao and Ming Qi, four months is enough to find clues about her. Why don't they make any moves?

"King Yu has arrived in Jin Kingdom." Rong Xiao told Yan Li before leaving, "I don't know if he deliberately confused the judgment of the spies in the Southern Kingdom, or he went to Jin Kingdom for other arrangements. He turned to Jin Kingdom after entering the border."

"Calculate the time, even if he takes a month to travel, it should be more than two months to arrive in Jin Kingdom."

Yan Li was thoughtful.

Why did King Yu go to Jin Kingdom?

Eliminate the risks she will face when she returns in advance?

This is not like his style.

As the chief disciple of the high priest and her biological brother, King Yu has always believed that great things must go through ups and downs, and facing difficulties and obstacles can grow faster.

A greenhouse can only grow delicate flowers, and only by experiencing wind and rain in a harsh environment can people become strong quickly.

So it is unlikely to eliminate the risk for her in advance.

Yan Li and Ling Ning's group are all elite, and they entered the territory of Jin in just seven days. ŴŴŴ.

Passing through some border towns, they occasionally heard children singing: "The Emperor Phoenix has returned and will soar into the sky."

When Yan Li heard this sentence for the first time, he did not think it was a coincidence. His eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately had some guesses in his heart.

The closer to the prosperous and wealthy city, the more songs similar to prophecy he heard. Most people were singing that the true phoenix had returned and would soar into the sky.

When there were more people singing, even Ling Ning felt something was wrong.

"The true phoenix has returned?" When resting at night, Ling Ning frowned and looked at Yan Li, "What does this mean?"

Yan Li said calmly: "Someone must have deliberately spread rumors to try to cause trouble for me."

"I don't think so." Ling Ning's expression was solemn, "If this prophecy happened to the princes, they might be regarded as rumors, the purpose of which was to create murderous intentions in other princes, but you are a princess."

Because the princes have the right to inherit the throne.

If a prince is crowned with the name of "true dragon", it will definitely arouse the hostility and murderous intentions of other princes, because they will not allow the future throne to be influenced by a rumor.

But Yan Li is a princess.

In Jin, princesses have no right to ascend the throne, so this rumor has no killing power for her.

"The princess does not necessarily threaten the status of the prince." Yan Li said indifferently, "What's more, Jiang Yi is the regent queen, and none of the princes are her biological children. In this case, she came to Jin to pick up her daughter in person. She loves her daughter like a treasure and tries her best to make up for it. If her daughter shows some civil and military skills that are not inferior to those of the princes, do you think she can still threaten the status of the princes? "

Ling Ning frowned slightly and was speechless.

yes.

Her idea was based on the premise that women had no right to ascend the throne as emperor, but Jiang Yi had already broken the precedent that the harem was not allowed to participate in politics. It would not be a strange thing if she had the idea of ​​​​making her daughter the emperor.

Under this situation, if the princes had any ideas in their minds, Yan Li would be in a worrying situation.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." Yan Li obviously didn't think this was a problem, "Now that we're here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
