"So, can't I go to Brother Yecheng to discuss this matter in person?"
Chongyang's face changed when he heard this, and he was the first to stand up and object.
"No! Never!"
"Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold, how can you easily take risks? That Dayan is now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Ye Cheng is surrounded by experts.
If you go, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
He does not really care about the safety of "An Qing".
But because if An Qing is really gone, it will not be a good thing for him.
After all, it is not easy to find an empress who is willing to cooperate with their demon clan.
Now Yecheng is rampant and everyone in the demon clan is in danger. Yecheng has already killed two demon emperors.
If this continues, no one knows who will be next.
Hence, he had to protect An Qing both emotionally and rationally.
But Yun Zhongzi said, "Your Majesty, I think your proposal is very good."
"I have decided!"
"Then who does your Majesty plan to take with you?"
Yun Zhongzi asked.
An Qing thought for a moment, "Love said before that Yang Ding, Yang Shangshu, had dealings with Brother Ye Cheng, right?"
h
"Yang Aiqing, I'm in peace."
An Qing said lightly, "I, now I have an extremely important task that I want to entrust to you."
"Please, Your Majesty. Here is the order."
"I, as the envoy of the envoy, you will go with me to Dayan to meet with Yecheng."
Yang Ding's body shook violently.
He raised his head and looked at the empress on the throne without words.
They all thought that An Qing was just talking, but no one expected that An Qing was serious.
"What? Yang Aiqing, do you think something is wrong?" "An Qing"'s voice had a sense of oppression.
Yang Ding immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare. I am willing to die for your Majesty even if I die!"
Although his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, he knew better that the king's orders could not be violated.
"Very good." An Qing nodded with satisfaction.
She naturally had her reasons for choosing Yang Ding.
Yingyue has read An Qing's memory and knows that Yang Ding is one of the few officials who has been in contact with Ye Cheng and is still alive.
He knew better that Yang Ding was an upright person. With him around, Ye Cheng would at least not chop her into pieces with a knife.
"That's it."
"An Qing" stood up and opened her arms, as if embracing the whole world.
"Preach my will!"
"Three days later, I will send the imperial commander to the expedition in person... No, it will be the imperial commander who visits Dayan in person!"
"I want to go to Wancheng, Yangzhou, to ask General Ye face to face for advice on how to govern the country!"
"I want everyone in the world to see that I, An Qing, am willing to sacrifice everything for the peace of the world!"
Her voice is full of the power to confuse people.
Chongyang and Yun Zhongzi, looking at her impassioned back, felt a chill in their hearts.
They don't know where this An Qing comes from, but they know very well that the "An Qing" in front of them is much more difficult to deal with than the original An Qing.
Three days later, Yangzhou, Wancheng.
This important town in Jiangzhou, which was once reduced to a living hell during the war, has now restored its former prosperity.
Under a series of recuperation policies implemented by Anning and Yecheng, the city walls were renovated, the streets were cleaned, and shops were opened one after another.
The faces of the people also showed a stable smile again.
All of this is in sharp contrast to the Pseudo-Peripheral Territory on the other side of the river, which is still in depression and depression.
Today, the atmosphere in Wancheng is somewhat unusual.
At the gate of the city, groups of soldiers wearing Dayan military uniforms formed strict barriers and cleared both sides of the road.
Countless people stretched their necks and looked towards the north road in eager anticipation.
They are waiting for someone.
A person who no one expected would come - the pseudo-Empress of Zhou Dynasty, An Qing.
“You think, will the female emperor of the Pseudo Zhou Dynasty really come?”
In the crowd, a merchant whispered to his companions.
No matter what! As long as we don't fight, it's better than anything else! Look at how peaceful our life is now!"
"That's true, thanks to our Empress and General Ye!"
The people's comments could be heard clearly on the tower.
Hong Xuan, dressed in military uniform, stood at the top of the city, scanning the distance with sharp eyes.
Behind him, stood several guards from Wancheng.
"Your Majesty, this fake Empress of Zhou, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?"
A general couldn't help but asked, "First abdication, and now a personal visit, I really can't understand it."
Kong Xuan snorted: "It's just that you can't understand. If she can be easily understood by you, then she will not be General Ye's opponent."
Although he couldn't guess the other party's true intention, he knew one thing very well.
The weasel is not kind to the chicken when he wishes him a happy New Year.
"Send the order!" Kong Xuan's voice was without a trace of emotion, "Let everyone be alert! From today on, Wancheng will be on the highest alert!"
"After the envoys enter the city, closely monitor their every move! Especially An Qing, if she dares to make any move, she will be killed without asking for permission!"
"Yes!" The generals took the order and immediately went down to set up defenses.
Hong Xuan stood alone at the top of the city, but there was always a trace of uneasiness lingering in his heart.
Although General Ye said in his letter that he should treat him with courtesy and wait and see what happens,
But Kong Xuan always felt that things would not be that simple.
Since this "An Qing" dares to come, he must have something to rely on.
While he was thinking, a long motorcade appeared on the distant horizon.
The convoy is not large in size, with only a few hundred people, but the ceremony is clear, and the flag has a big word "zhou" fluttering in the wind.
The carriage headed by was extremely gorgeous and was pulled by eight handsome white horses. It was obviously the carriage that An Qing rode in person.
The Puppet Zhou envoy has arrived.
Hong Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate, prepare to receive us!"
Hence "Yes!"
The heavy city gate slowly opened.
The convoy drove into the city slowly and stopped in front of Kong Xuan and others.
The car door opened, and Yang Ding, Minister of the Ministry of War, got out first.
He saw Kong Xuan, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Yang Ding, the envoy of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, has met the Peacock King."
Kong Xuan nodded as a return gift. His gaze went beyond Yang Ding to the carriage behind him.
A slender hand opened the car curtain.
Immediately afterwards, An Qing walked down.
At this moment, her face did not have the slightest bit of imperial majesty, but instead carried a hint of cordiality and a hint of hollowness and sadness.
As soon as she appeared, the air around her became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to her.
This fake Empress of Zhou who once stirred up the world and made countless people frightened?
Why do you look so pitiful now?
An Qing's gaze slowly swept over everything around her.
She saw the newly renovated city walls, the clean and tidy streets, and the people who, although curious, did not have much hatred in their eyes.
Finally, her eyes fell on Kong Xuan.
She faced Kong Xuan, slightly bent her knees, and performed a Wanfu salute.
"You are the Maurya King, right? This little girl is so polite."
Her voice was soft and gentle.
There is no hint of imperial airs at all.
Even Kong Xuan was stunned. He had never seen An Qing like this.
I didn’t expect that the other party would act like this when they first came up.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is serious. You are a guest, and we are here to welcome you on the order of General Ye."
"I dare not."
An Qing shook her head, with a bitter smile on her face, "In front of the Peacock King and Brother Ye Cheng, An Qing dare not call you Your Majesty."
An Qing "Wancheng is so well governed." She suddenly changed the subject, looked at the surrounding scene, and said with sincere emotion.
"It is much better than my capital city.
Since childhood, I have thought that Sister An Ning will have a great future in the future, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
After more than ten years apart, she not only transformed herself into an emperor, but also managed the land under her rule so well..."
As soon as these words came out, the people around her were moved with compassion.
