Poor family mother and son

Chapter 199
Although I have a cold, I can't delay the departure time.

Chu Qing has been in the carriage for three days now. Although she is not exposed to the wind in the carriage, she feels even colder when she is sitting and not exercising, and her cold has not recovered.

This morning I felt a little worse, and I was in a hurry at the moment: I sneezed, I didn’t hold the hand stove, the hand stove rolled down and hit the car floor, carbon ash was scattered all over the floor, my nose started to flow again, it’s really...

Because he was afraid of infecting Xiaobao, Chu Qing was alone in the carriage, and there was no one to help him now.

Chu Yuan was with Gan Lai every day, either reprimanding or disgusting: "This has to be taught, but I can't do that, what do you think you can do!" There is no time to care about Chu Qing.

Zhuo Yao is still training the [-] boys he selected, these are the "special training" guards for Xiao Bao.

How to protect the master during the march, this is learned, Zhuo Yao has trained in every aspect he can think of.

Zhuo Yao felt that although Chu Qing's young man from the "Special Operations Group" was a soldier and had killed enemies on the battlefield, his force value was still weak, and his individual combat ability was not strong.

Besides, Chu Qing is an adult, and it doesn't matter if Chu Yuan is by his side.

But Xiao Bao is still young, in case Chu Qing is not around, he only relies on his own protection for fear of mistakes.It is necessary to train a team for Xiaobao.

Everyone was busy outside, and Chu Qing himself was busy in the carriage.

When I finally finished my work, I found that the convoy had stopped.

The motorcade was very large, the first half was Song Tingshan's team, because they brought their wives to participate in the Qianqiu Festival, so there were maids and wives on both sides of the carriage, and they moved slowly.

Chu Qing's team also had a lot of people. There were only 40 guards for him and Xiaobao, and Chu Yuan and the others.

Chu Yuan rushed over and said, "Boss, people from Secret Investigation Division have caught up."

Chu Qing felt strange, it would be more than one day's journey to the capital, who would find this person from the council?
Song Tingshan in the front got out of the carriage when he heard that the car was parked behind, and walked towards Chu Qing.

"Master Chu!" The visitor was dressed in a dusty uniform of the secret investigation department, and he didn't think he had a good rest after traveling all the way.

He respectfully bowed to Chu Qing, then to Song Tingshan, and then reported: "Your subordinate Hu Tu, the supervisor of the New Lunzhou Council."

Yashi, that's the secretary.

Confused?With this name as a secretary, Bai Hua can rest assured?

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing asked.

"Lord Chu, Lord Song, the envoys from the country of Vos arrived in Xinlun Prefecture three days ago and requested to stamp the seal on the pass." Hu Tu said.

Three days ago, they arrived just after Chu Qing left.

"Emissary Voss? Who? What?"

"The chief envoy is Pazhuo, the king of Guli, and the fourth prince, Kailidi, the deputy of Shiwarth." Hutu replied: "Because Feng Zhizhou went to Beijing early, Zhao Tongpan didn't dare to make decisions alone, so he asked Mr. Bai to build it together. Printed.

Lord Bai wants his subordinates to follow up and report to the two adults. They said they hope to visit Daxuan Kingdom. Maybe the emperor will ask Master Chu about the situation in Voss Kingdom, so that you can know what's going on. He also recommends that you speed up your trip and meet earlier. See the emperor. "

Chu Qing asked again: "Have you reported it to the Secretary?"

Hu Tu replied: "The Secretary should have gotten the news yesterday. Our route is two days faster than the official route."

"I see. Thank you Lord Bai for us." Chu Qing asked Chu Yuan to pack some food for Hu Tu and sent him back.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and this kid still braved the freezing weather to deliver the letter, it's hard work.

"I think you'd better go first. I'll deliver the things you brought." Song Tingshan said.

There is still a day and a half to go. Tonight, Song Tingshan and his convoy must spend the night outside of Kyoto, and they can only enter the city tomorrow evening.

Chu Qing sniffled, if he rode the horse first, he would be able to reach the capital tonight, but it seems that the cold just doesn't get better.

Handing over the convoy to Song Tingshan, Chu Qing took the map out of the box, wrapped it in a big fur skin and tied it on the horse's back, brought some water and set off on the road.

Xiaobao resolutely followed her mother, saying that she would take care of her along the way, so Zhuo Yao and Xiaobao's guards followed Chu Qing, while Chu Yuan led others to follow Song Tingshan all the way to Beijing.

A group of people rushed all the way, and finally marched into Kyoto at the Guancheng Gate.

A Xiaoqi from the secret investigation department was waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw Chu Qing, he told Master Hu that he was waiting for her, and whenever he entered Beijing, he would go to see Master Hu immediately.

At this moment, Chu Qing was so hungry that her chest was on her back, and she didn't even have a runny nose.

When he arrived at the secret investigation department, he learned that Hu Hengqiu was called into the palace by the emperor, and he left a message to ask Chu Qing to go directly to the palace when he arrived.

Chu Qing was led all the way to the imperial study room, where Hu Hengqiu and the emperor were discussing matters.

Seeing Chu Qing, Hu Hengqiu immediately said, "Tell me about Voss."

At this moment, Chu Qing's stomach was throbbing with hunger, so she felt a lot of resentment, thinking, what can I say?All the situation has been reported, can't people rest for a while?

Chu Qing saluted the emperor first, and then replied, "May I ask what aspect of the situation your lord wants to ask?"

Hu Hengqiu also felt that he didn't understand what he said: "What kind of person is Pazhuo?"

"Hmm...he's a greasy middle-aged fat man who values ​​profit over righteousness...Ah!" Chu Qing sneezed as soon as he said that, and he didn't even have time to cover his mouth.

It was bitterly cold outside, and the stove in the imperial study made the air dry, and the sneeze came suddenly and naturally.

Quickly covering his mouth and nose, this is a disrespect in front of the palace.

But what I couldn't hold back was "Gululu..." The stomach growl was also caught off guard.

"Chu Aiqing, this is..." The emperor put down the brush and took a look at Chu Qing, only to find that Chu Qing's face was extremely pale, her nose was red, and her lips were gray.

"Your disgrace, please forgive me. I just hurried on the road." Chu Qing hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

You can't say that you have a cold, isn't that a crime knowingly and playing tricks on the emperor's dragon's health?It can only be said that we are in a hurry.

"Chu Aiqing hasn't eaten yet, right? Come!" The emperor was about to show consideration for his courtiers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li quickly brought food instead of snacks, Chu Qing was very happy: the food is the most hungry.

After Eunuch Li put down the tray and stood still, Chu Qing knew that was all: one soup, one dish and one bowl of rice, what a savings!I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough for Xiaobao, right?It's not as good as snacks, anyway, desserts are high in calories.

The emperor signaled Chu Qing to eat first, but since he was the emperor, how could Chu Qing dare to eat without any hesitation?Hurry up and say that the emperor has something to ask first.

The emperor was very polite, and signaled to her to eat it before talking.

Chu Qing thought for a while, since he was asking about Voss' situation, he should put up the map first and let's talk about it.

So he took off the big burden that he had never taken off his back and opened it.

Such a large piece of canvas, five meters wide and six meters long, plus a box of special tacks.

This load is also [-] catties less, because I was so hungry that I had no energy when I put it on the ground.

Muffled.

"Chu Qing, what are you doing?" Hu Hengqiu asked curiously.

Chu Qing folded and unfolded the folded large canvas map, and said, "I made a three-dimensional map of the country of Voss, you can look at it first, I'll eat."

Chu Qing is now focusing all his attention on eating, and he didn't realize that he didn't pay attention to the honorifics in the conversation with Hu Hengqiu, which was very disrespectful.
