Although I have a cold, I can't delay my departure.

Chu Qing has now been in the carriage for three days. Although there is no wind in the carriage, she feels colder when she sits without exercising, and her cold has not gone away.

This morning I felt a little aggravated, and now I was in a hurry: I sneezed, and I didn't hold the hand stove. The hand stove rolled down and hit the car board. The charcoal ash was scattered on the floor, and my nose started to flow again. It was really...

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

Chu Yuan was with Gan Lai every day. He either scolded or disliked him: "You have to be taught this, but you don't know how to do that. What do you think you can do?" He had no time to take care of Chu Qing.

Zhuo Yao is still training the twenty boys he selected, these are the "specially trained" guards specially for Xiaobao.

How to protect the master while marching is a matter of knowledge. Zhuo Yao has trained in every aspect he can think of.

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

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

But Xiaobao is still young. If Chu Qing is not around, he only relies on his own protection for fear of something going wrong. It is necessary to train a team for Xiaobao.

Everyone was busy outside, but Chu Qing was busy in the carriage.

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

The motorcade was very large, and the first half was Song Tingshan's team. Because he brought his wife to participate in the Qianqiu Festival, there were maids and mothers-in-law on both sides of the carriage, and they moved slowly.

Chu Qing's team also had a lot of people. There were only forty guards for himself and Xiaobao, as well as Chu Yuan and the others.

Chu Yuan rushed over and said: "Boss, the people from the Secret Investigation Department are catching up."

Chu Qing felt strange. It was more than a day's journey to Kyoto. Who from the board of directors would find this place?

Song Tingshan in front got out of the carriage when he heard that the car was parked behind him and walked towards Chu Qing.

"Mr. Chu!" The visitor was wearing a dusty uniform of the Secret Investigation Department. He had never had a good rest after traveling all the way.

He respectfully saluted Chu Qing, then saluted Song Tingshan, and then reported: "My subordinate Hu Tu is the superintendent of the Xinlun Prefecture Council."

Oshi, that's the secretary.

Confused? Can Bai Hua rest assured that he is a secretary with this name?

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

"Master Chu and Master Song, envoys from the State of Voss arrived in Xinlun Prefecture three days ago and requested that a seal be stamped on the Guan Yin." Hu Tu said.

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

"Emissary of Vos? Who is he? What are you doing here?"

"The chief envoy is King Pazhuo of Guli, and the deputy is the fourth prince Kailidi of Swath." Hu Tu replied: "Because Feng Zhizhou went to Beijing early, Zhao Tongpan did not dare to make the decision alone, so he asked Mr. Bai to build it together.

Seal.

Mr. Bai asked his subordinates to chase and report to the two adults. They said they hoped to visit Daxuan Kingdom. Perhaps the emperor will ask Mr. Chu about the situation in Voss Kingdom so that you can be aware of it. He also suggested 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: "Sili should have received the news yesterday. Our route is two days faster than the official route."

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

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and this guy is still braving the freezing weather to deliver the letter. It’s hard work.

"I think you'd better leave first. I'll transport the things you bring with you," Song Tingshan said.

There is still a day and a half to go. Song Tingshan and his team will definitely have to stay overnight in Kyoto tonight before entering the city tomorrow evening.

Chu Qing sniffed. If he rode ahead, he could reach Kyoto tonight, but the cold seemed to be gone.

After handing the convoy to Song Tingshan, Chu Qing took the map out of the box, wrapped it in a large furoshiki and tied it on the horse's back, then took some water and set off on the road.

Xiaobao resolutely followed her mother, saying she was taking care of her along the way, so Zhuo Yao and Xiaobao's guards followed Chu Qing, while Chu Yuan and others followed Song Tingshan to Beijing.

A group of people worked hard all the way, and finally entered Kyoto at Guancheng Gate.

A small flag from the Secret Investigation Department was waiting at the city gate. When he saw Chu Qing, he told Master Hu that he was waiting for her and that whenever he entered the capital, he should go see Master Hu as soon as possible.

Chu Qing was so hungry that her heart was pressed against her back, and her nose didn't even run much anymore.

When they arrived at the Secret Investigation Department, they learned that Hu Hengqiu had been summoned to the palace by the emperor and left a message asking Chu Qing to go directly to the palace when he arrived.

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

Seeing Chu Qing, Hu Hengqiu immediately said: "Tell me about Voss's situation."

At this time, Chu Qing's stomach was throbbing with hunger, so he was very resentful. What could he say in his heart? All the situations had been reported, so he couldn't let anyone rest for a while.

Chu Qing bowed to the emperor first, and then replied: "Excuse me, what situation do you want to ask about?"

Hu Hengqiu also felt that he did not understand what he said: "What kind of person is Pa Zhuo?"

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

The cold wind outside was biting, and the heater in the royal study made the air dry, so the sneeze came suddenly and naturally.

Cover your mouth and nose quickly, this is disrespectful in front of the palace.

But what I couldn't hold back was "Gululu..." My stomach growled unexpectedly.

"Chu Aiqing, this is..." The emperor put down his brush and glanced at Chu Qing, only to find that Chu Qing's face was extremely poor, his nose was red, and his lips were gray.

"I have behaved inappropriately. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just in a hurry on the road." Chu Qing quickly lowered his head and apologized.

You can't say that you have a cold. Wouldn't that mean you are knowingly making fun of the Emperor's health? You can only say that you are in a hurry.

"Chu Aiqing hasn't eaten yet, has she? Come here!" The emperor was ready to show consideration to his ministers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li quickly brought food instead of snacks. Chu Qing was very happy: He was only hungry after eating food.

After Eunuch Li put down the tray and stood still, Chu Qing realized that this was all: one soup, one vegetable, and one bowl of rice. It was really economical! I'm afraid it wouldn't even be enough for Xiao Bao, right? It might as well be a snack, since desserts are high in calories.

The emperor signaled Chu Qing to eat first, but he was the emperor, so how could Chu Qing dare to eat so carelessly? He quickly said that if the emperor has something to do, you should ask first.

The emperor was polite and told her to eat before talking.

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

So I took off the big baggage that had never been taken off my back and opened it.

It's such a big piece of canvas, five meters wide and six meters long, plus a box of special tacks.

This weight is also 40 kilograms too small. Because I was so hungry that I had no strength, I made a loud noise when I put it on the ground.

Muffled sound.

"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 Voss Country. You guys take a look at it first while I eat."
