emperor cold concubine

Chapter 243 Thirteen Mile Slopes
Today's Su Mo and Xie Changting have successfully destroyed Situ Wanrou's underground palace and nearly half of her plans, and are on their way to the Jiuluoxi Mountain camp.

A few days ago, the empress agreed to Qi Lang's request and held a concubine's birthday banquet in the palace, ordering all royal family members to be present, and at the same time revoked the strict control over the palaces of the princes and princesses.

Ye Jinghai and Situ Wanrou thought that the queen would cause trouble in the palace, so they secretly brought many experts into the palace. Apart from some simple guards, the Princess Mansion hardly had any experts who could resist foreign enemies. Followed Situ Wanrou into the palace quietly.

Under the orders of Su Mo and Bi Yue, the subordinates in Fengyi Building's sub-rudder courtyard quietly transported dozens of barrels of tung oil that had been prepared earlier into the Princess Mansion, and watered them all the way from the entrance of the secret passageway of the Princess' bedroom. And down, it leads directly to the arsenal that Su Mo and Xie Changting have never opened.

After ordering everyone to evacuate, only Su Mo and Qi Lang stayed where they were, and they lit the fire very coolly, burning up all the drugs and poisons in the underground palace, as well as those innocent young women, followed by several loud bangs. The resounding sound resounded throughout the Princess Mansion, and the sky-shattering explosion almost destroyed the entire Princess Mansion instantly. The underground palace collapsed, and almost no guards in the Princess Mansion were spared. There were ruins and corpses everywhere.

The huge noise that resounded through the sky also alarmed all the royal family who were attending the banquet in the palace, but at that time, Su Mo and Xie Changting had already ridden out of the imperial capital, and they no longer cared about how the future would develop.

Anyway, even if Situ Wanrou, who has lost her crooked support, is so enraged that she loses her mind, she will never be Her Majesty's opponent. They don't need to worry about the mess they will leave behind.

A group of four riders are all one-in-a-thousand-mile BMWs. Su Mo learned to ride horses with Fourteen on the royal horse farm in Cang Yue. They have a soft spot and can't put it down.

Like a BMW with a hero, it can also match a beauty.

The four powerful horses galloped rapidly on the wide official road, unimpeded all the way, and in only three and a half days, they arrived at the border of Jiuluo, Wenzhou.

"Walking through this thirteen-mile path, and then turning over the mountain in front, you will be at the Xishan camp where Murong Chen is at the moment."

At the foot of the trail is an endless trail that can't be seen at a glance. It is a bit rough and difficult to walk because it is at the foot of the mountain. It can only allow two horses to pass side by side. Xie Changting and Bi Yue rode their horses slowly ahead. Qi Lang lagged behind and pulled about a horse's body away.

Hearing Xie Changting's indifferent tone, Su Mo raised his eyebrows, "I even know the exact distance of this trail so clearly, it seems that Chang Ting, you carried Cang Hao on your back when you rebelled back then, I don't know how many times you have been to Jiuluo in private time."

"Master Mo is overthinking this." Xie Changting smiled faintly, and walked slowly, reining in the reins calmly, "This path, which is called Shisanlipo by the people of Jiuluo, is quite famous after all. The first queen of Jiuluo was once attacked by several unidentified people from the Jianghu when she was patrolling the border in Weifu. The attendants around her guarded the queen desperately. After killing the thieves, a story of a hero and a beautiful woman will follow logically."

"Huh?" Su Mo lazily raised her eyebrows, turned her head and glanced at Qi Lang to the left, "Is there such a thing?"

"Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned..." Qi Lang shrugged, "However, it seems to be true."

Su Mo nodded lightly when he heard the words... Xie Changting is indeed not a person who is so boring that he can make up stories randomly, and he makes up such vulgar stories.

Xie Changting didn't take it seriously, and still narrated the past events more than a hundred years ago in a calm tone, "The queen made a false alarm, but she got a beautiful husband because of it. When she returned to the palace, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was a deliberate arrangement by the heavens. After holding the marriage ceremony with the knight in white, he specially ordered people to go to the border to measure the distance of this road, no more, no less, thirteen miles. Therefore, he got the name Shisanlipo. The empress favored it, and deliberately called it Marriage Poe."

"What happened later?" Su Mo asked a little bored, "Are the two of you growing old together?"

"No." Xie Changting smiled faintly, "The empress had eight older sisters. She was able to ascend to the highest position at the youngest age, so she is not an ordinary vulgar person. When I met the knight in white, she had just ascended the throne For two years, and at that time they were not very old, and there was no man in the harem... The two had been in love for more than a year, and this was the only person in the harem. In June, when the empress was pleasantly surprised to find that she was pregnant, she also unfortunately discovered that the knight had an affair with her elder sister."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and instantly understood, "It seems that being attacked by people from the rivers and lakes and being rescued by the knights in white is a well-arranged drama in advance."

Xie Changting nodded.

"How did the Empress deal with those two people?"

"The queen gave her sister to death for the crime of misconduct, and the knight in white was exhausted with martial arts and sentenced to castration. He was imprisoned in the palace for the rest of his life and became the most humble eunuch—seeing the queen accepting the harem, countless The handsome man is for her to favor, and the royal family spreads its branches and leaves, but he has to bow his knees all his life, lingering under the eyes of the queen, lonely and helpless... In this way, for 20 years, the year when the queen made the crown prince, that person was given a cup Poisoned wine."

"It is indeed a strange woman who dares to love and hate... When you love to the extreme, you also hate to the extreme." Su Mo said with a faint smile, "If you really hate someone, death is just to relieve the other person. Teach this person that life is better than death, and then you will die." It's real revenge."

Looking at the woman who once praised herself like a treasure, she used the body that once belonged only to her to enjoy the bedtime of other men, shared her love for herself with countless people, and made the beauty that was envied by countless people. He generously bestowed the glory and favor on others, but he was reduced to the dust in an instant, as humble as an ant, and anyone in the palace—even the lowest-ranked eunuchs and maids could boss him around—

This is the queen's cruelest revenge on those who betrayed her.

Su Mo smiled lightly, and didn't ask how the child in the queen's belly was doing—with that woman's strong temper, naturally she would not give birth to a child whom she regarded as a shameless traitor, and she would certainly not allow it. , keeping any hidden dangers that may threaten the Jiuluo Jiangshan community in the future——

Just like Jiu Luo's great prince and Cang Fengqi.

It's just that Ye Jinghai, who has always had Cang Yue's idea in his heart, has not really come into contact with his own son so far, and naturally he has never tried to understand what Feng Wang really thinks in his heart-whether his son is willing to help his father? , to seek to seize the imperial dynasty belonging to the Cang clan.

Turning his eyes, Su Mo looked at Qi Lang, "Lang'er, why are you so quiet today? Are you thinking about Ye Wanqing?"

Qi Lang's expression was a little complicated, and he was a little tangled. He looked at Su Mo, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally chose to tell the truth: "She said that she was going to give up the throne, and asked me if I would like to be with her."

"Give up the throne?" Su Mo lazily raised an eyebrow, "Lang'er, such a beautiful thing as loving a beauty and not loving a country can actually happen to you."

Qi Lang looked embarrassed, and looked at Su Mo depressedly.

"Your majesty, the noble empress, has taken a fancy to you. It's your blessing. Don't put on such a tangled expression that you've got a cheap price and still act obedient." Biyue in front of her suddenly said, with obvious disdain in her tone, "I really don't know what the empress's name is. Where did the eyes go, to actually fall in love with such a naive guy as you."

"Why are you everywhere?" Qi Lang replied angrily.

Bi Yue snorted, but didn't say anything more.

The matter of Jiuluo has come to an end for the time being, and the next step is to solve the Murong family's slip-through, Murong Chen.

Murong Chen is not a big hindrance to them, and whether to get rid of it or not is not a big deal. The purpose of coming to the Xishan Camp this time is mainly to find out how much Situ Wanrou still hides in the dark It can be said that the power to solve Murong Chen is incidental, but it is also what Su Mo is determined to do.

It may be nothing to others, after all, although Murong Chen is the most outstanding son of the new generation of the Murong family, Cang Hao or Xie Changting actually don't take this person seriously.But Su Mo is different. She has never been a person who will keep future troubles behind. No matter how good Murong Chen is, as a descendant of the Murong family, he is now a traitor who has defected. A damned person will die sooner or later. Why bother? Leave it to cause endless trouble later?
"Is the Western Mountain Camp far from Cangshan in the Western Regions?"

Xie Changting said: "It's not too far away, but there is a vast and endless mountain range in the middle, and a lake that can't be seen at a glance. Only this mountain and a lake are separated, and the war between the Western Regions and Jiuluo is cut off. It's been a long time since we lived in peace."

Su Mo frowned, "Can't pass?"

"The army can't pass through." Xie Changting said calmly, "The mountains are steep and difficult to walk, and there are often fierce beasts coming in and out. People with agility can still try it. Ordinary people can't walk through this mountain. As for the lake below the mountain, it is about [-] miles wide from north to south. , how long things are, so far no one knows, the depth of the water is tens of feet, there is no road, no bridge, if you stumble and fall from the mountain, there will be no bones left."

In other words, this is already the extreme edge of this continent?

Su Mo nodded knowingly, "It's safe to choose to recruit troops here. You don't need to worry about the queen, and you don't have to worry about the enemy country launching a sneak attack at any time."

While speaking, the four light horses had already traveled the narrow slope of thirteen miles and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain in front of me looks very ordinary. The mountain is not steep or steep, and there are two mountain roads that pedestrians can pass through smoothly.
