From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 349

Fast, indescribably fast.

The two women with special skills, supported by their strong inner strength, did not ride horses at all, but rushed on foot, at an extremely fast speed, and reached Suiping County, more than 20 miles away, in the shortest time.

They arrived at the empty granary and met Guan Lu and others who had been waiting for a long time.

Eleven people, including Guan Lu and Zhang Fei, had prepared their horses.

"It's done, we must rush to Song County immediately and meet Zhou Yuan."

"We must gallop at night, time is everything at this moment."

Without much hesitation, everyone rode on their horses and headed towards Song County at the fastest speed.

They set out from Suiping and took the widest official road, Wuyang, Ye County, Yingcheng to Ruzhou, and finally arrived in Song County.

They only rested twice on the way, and it took a total of four hours. It should have been a five-day journey, but they arrived within three days.

The horses had fallen down and the people were exhausted.

But the moment they saw Zhou Yuan, Guan Lu and Zhang Fei almost shed tears.

"Greetings, sir!"

The news of the assassination almost broke their hearts, but they also relied on their willpower to persevere. Now they finally met in the Central Plains, and the excitement was indescribable.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Please get up quickly. You two brothers have worked hard. It is not easy to open up an intelligence system in the battlefield behind enemy lines."

Guan Lu choked up and said, "Your Excellency's frequent good news is touching and exciting."

Zhou Yuan said, "No more polite words. You only have two hours to rest. Go to sleep, wake up and eat something, and we will set off."

The two did not hesitate and went to rest with a few subordinates.

At this time, Zhou Yuan turned around and saw Cai Ni, who was exhausted.

She was wearing a white saint's dress, like a fairy from heaven, wearing various accessories and the most gorgeous makeup.

Such makeup is not something that everyone can afford. If the appearance is not delicate enough, it will look exaggerated and funny.

But Cai Ni's perfect face completely supported this set of makeup, as if it was natural, so beautiful that it was suffocating.

Even though her face was full of fatigue and light traces of tears at this moment.

Zhou Yuan didn't know when Li Yu'an disappeared. He just strode forward and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him tightly.

At the beginning of the year, she went to the Central Plains without saying goodbye to her and laid a foundation for herself.

Now, she has played a crucial role. If it weren't for Cai Ni, there would be no foundation for this plan and no confidence in victory.

Neither of them spoke, like fish meeting water, hugging each other, wishing to blend with each other.

Zhou Yuan held her face and watched her tears flow. Until this moment, he realized the artistic conception of the sentence "looking at each other without words, only tears flowing".

Poetry carries the truth, and it hurts the heart.

"Young Master has lost weight..."

Cai Ni shed tears and trembled, saying, "He has also become darker. After all, the Central Plains is too hard, and it can't be compared to the Jiangnan and Shenjing to support people."

Zhou Yuan wiped the tears from her face with his sleeves and whispered, "You are a miserable person, wandering around everywhere. Before, it was for the Wusheng Sect, and now it's for me."

"The new house of the Zhongwu Marquis's Mansion is so big, and you haven't even seen it once. After this battle, follow me."

Cai Ni lowered her head and whispered, "Cai Ni has a miserable life. She is a hard-working person. It is normal for her to wander around."

Zhou Yuan said, "You are not a person without support. In the future, you will have the young master to protect you, and no one can bully you."

Cai Ni thought about it, shook her head slowly and said, "No "Okay, you are a man who can do great things. After all, I am a witch of the Wusheng Sect, and I will affect your future."

Zhou Yuan saved her and said in a deep voice: "Don't think like this in the future. My future is not a high official position, but you."

"Don't be so mushy! Let's talk about business!"

Li Yu'an appeared at some point and sat on the chair next to her. She glared and said: "If you keep talking like this, half an hour will be gone."

Cai Ni's face changed slightly, and she said immediately: "Yes, sir, Cai Ni wants to tell you about Zhang Bailong's behavior and speech habits, as well as the basic situation of the Luoyang Pseudo-Dynasty, so as to avoid being exposed at that time."

She has been following Zhang Bailong for four or five months, and she has basically understood everything, and she is also summarizing it at ordinary times.

Took out a small note and began to read out all the details of Zhang Bailong.

Zhou Yuan listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

Two hours passed quickly, Guan Lu, Zhang Fei and others arrived at the courtyard on time, and also listened to Cai Ni's warning.

Zhou Yuan finally looked at Li Yu'an and said in a deep voice: "Sister Saint, it's all up to you."

Li Yu'an smiled, took out a small box from her arms, and said slowly: "There are a total of sixteen masks, all here!"

"YouLet's try Zhang Bailong's first. It's a coincidence that your figures are really similar. "

She carefully put on the mask for Zhou Yuan, and a vivid Zhang Bailong appeared in the yard.

Zhou Yuan took out a bronze mirror, looked carefully, and squinted and said, "Does it look like him?"

Cai Ni chuckled and said, "Yes! Very much so! Exactly the same! But the young master's face is still good-looking!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing.

So Li Yu'an put on masks for the remaining fifteen people, and the disguise of the entire team was finally completed.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and sneered, "Let's go, Zhang Bailong and his fifteen guards, it's time to go back to Luoyang."

"Of course, the Saint of the Wusheng Sect will also follow."

Cai Ni smiled and tilted her head and said, "With me here, I'm familiar with the way there."

Li Yu'an said, "Where will Zhang Bailong go? Don't run into him in Luoyang, it will be dangerous."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, the Five Army Camps have a large number of people and strong combat power. Even if they surrender, Zhang Bailong will not feel at ease to take them back to Luoyang."

"He will take the Five Army Camps to Nanyang!"

Li Yu'an asked in confusion: "Nanyang? Why?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Songyang, Yingcheng, Yancheng, Chenzhou, and Runing are all important battle towns. They are too close to Kaifeng Prefecture and their locations are too sensitive."

"Guangzhou is Zhang Bailong's old nest. There are 17,000 soldiers led by Liu Fang there. Zhang Bailong must be worried."

"Luoyang is where the Kaidai Dynasty's palace is located. It belongs to the central city and will definitely not take them there."

"The most suitable place can only be Nanyang. It is far away from Kaifeng, has a vast terrain, and has many garrisons. Once something happens, there is Guangzhou in the east and Yingcheng and Luoyang in the north, which can be surrounded and annihilated. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, I also have other intelligence channels. The news from there is that Zhang Bailong has arrived in Yuzhou with Li He and other soldiers from the five military camps. In two days, they will arrive in Nanyang."

Li Yu'an snorted and squinted, "I know you are very cunning and can't rely on guesswork. The inner guards of the female emperor are also helping you."

Zhou Yuan said seriously, "We are helping the court. We are all the court's lackeys!"

Shi Yi's voice came from outside: "General, the horses are ready, all the best horses!"

"Good!"

Zhou Yuan said excitedly, "Let's set off to Luoyang to be the emperor!"
