I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 297 A Beautiful Encounter

"Ah? Madam? What...what are you doing?"

Feng Chang looked at the queen and the two palace maids behind her, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

When the queen came over, he quickly stood up and gave up the main seat.

Tang Xinyi sat down and said leisurely,

"I intend to personally meet with Prince Lanling and Prince Nan, and negotiate with them personally to see whether they truly wish to negotiate peace, or whether they intend to further exploit us, devour us, and ultimately destroy our country.

If you are sincere about peace, then reduce the indemnity or pay it in installments, so that we have time to collect taxes from all over the country.

If you want to fight, then go ahead and fight. We, the Dakun, share a common hatred for the enemy and will fight them head-on. Whether we win or lose, it all depends on our ability. At least we can have a clear conscience."

Hearing this, Old Fengchang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt down in the carriage and said,

"Your Majesty has risked your life alone for the sake of your country and your people. You are truly a heroine. I admire you.

But... I still have the guts to ask Your Majesty to go back. The Yan army camp is a den of dragons and tigers, and the barbarians from the north are ruthless and eat people without leaving any bones.

Now the whole country depends on your Majesty's will. You shoulder a great responsibility. I beg you, Majesty, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Please take good care of yourself."

Tang Xinyi sighed,

"If I don't go to hell, who will? If Shen Changgong really wants to kill me, then let him do it.

I only hope that after my death, I can inspire the bravery of the men of Kun Country, so that they will defend their country and fight bravely against the enemy. Then I will die without regrets."

"My lady..."

Old Fengchang burst into tears and was deeply moved.

It is a great fortune for the country to have such a virtuous queen.

"Please help me protect Feng Chang. Otherwise, the entire court will definitely not agree to let me leave the capital."

"I understand. I am the only one in this carriage."

Old Fengchang nodded and shouted outside,

"set off!"

The carriage team set out from the palace, carrying all the money from the palace, the inner treasury, and the national treasury, and formed a huge team to go to the Yan army camp.

After seeing this scene, the people along the way all knew that this was the money they had to pay as compensation to the Yan people. They all sighed, and some even went so far as to directly insult the court in the streets for being weak.

The carriage team left Shengjing and headed south.

After walking two miles, Queen Tang Xinyi suddenly frowned, clutched her stomach, and said,

"Oh, my stomach suddenly hurts. What did that damn servant put in my breakfast?"

The two maids knelt down and said,

"Mother, this slave deserves to die!"

"Stop it now, stop the car, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Shut up!"

The carriage team stopped, and the old Fengchang said anxiously,

"Your Majesty, there's no toilet nearby. What should I do? How about I go out and you stay in this carriage..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You want me to ride in a stinking carriage to the Yan army camp? I'll be laughed to death by the Yan army! I've completely disgraced Kun Country!"

After saying that, Tang Xinyi lifted the carriage curtain, took a look, and said in surprise,

"There's a forest to the west. Come on, both of you, follow me there."

As she spoke, Tang Xinyi walked out.

After getting off the carriage, Tang Xinyi trotted towards the woods, followed closely by two maids.

The guards were about to follow, Tang Xinyi turned her head and gritted her teeth,

"I'm using the restroom, what are you following me for? Go back and keep an eye on the gold and silver, don't let thieves steal it!"

"As ordered!"

The guards blushed with shame and turned away quickly, not daring to look.

After entering the woods and running two or three hundred meters, Tang Xinyi stopped and said breathlessly,

"Have you both prepared everything?"

The two palace maids panted even harder and said,

"Don't worry, Madam. The carriage is ready a mile away. It is loaded with gold and silver. We are all wearing golden armor, jade and gold hairpins."

"it is good."

Tang Xinyi quickly took off the heavy phoenix robe and threw it on the ground, then took off the phoenix crown on her head and threw it away.

That phoenix robe and phoenix crown, the amount of gold and workmanship must be worth at least several thousand taels of silver, but she didn't dare to wear it or sell it, and no one dared to buy it, so she decided to throw it away.

"Run!"

Without the heavy phoenix robe and phoenix crown, Tang Xinyi ran away.

Tang Xinyi thought about it for a long time yesterday. All roads led to dead ends, and only escape offered a glimmer of hope.

It has been more than half a year, and she hasn't felt the breath of freedom for a long time.

At this moment, she was running happily. Although she was running away, she felt the long-lost breath of freedom.

From now on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

What about national affairs, what about the civil and military officials in the court, to hell with them.

She wants freedom, freedom!

Anyway, my parents have passed away and I have no relatives at home.

She had already made plans. From then on, she would run as far as she could. She had plenty of gold, silver and travel money anyway. She would first run to another city where there was no war, buy a few slaves, and find an escort agency to escort her abroad, all the way to the southernmost country of Daqian.

No matter how powerful the Yan army is, they can't defeat the Qian Kingdom, right?

No matter how powerful Kun Country is, they won't go to Qian Country to capture her, right?

It would be great if I could use so much money to start a small business and live a peaceful and happy life.

The pace of freedom is especially brisk, and a mile seems especially short.

Soon, they ran to another official road and saw the carriage and coachman parked on the side of the road.

"Great, here we are."

Tang Xinyi smiled happily.

Suddenly, the palace maid behind him pointed to the north and said,

"My Lady... No, Miss, look."

Tang Xinyi turned her head and saw a team of black-armored cavalry walking towards them slowly.

"It's the Yan army. Don't be anxious. Don't panic. Let them pass before we leave. If we run now, we will definitely be suspected."

Tang Xinyi was calm enough and stood by the roadside, waiting for the Yan army to pass by.

The Yan army arrived here quickly, led by a young general in silver armor and a white robe.

The young general looked extremely handsome, with a warm and gentle smile on his face, which made Tang Xinyi feel dazed for a moment.

How can there be such a handsome man in the world?

At this time, the young general in silver armor raised his hand and the cavalry stopped.

He rode up to Tang Xinyi and asked politely,

"Girl, where are you from? Where are you going?"

Tang Xinyi bowed and said,

"My humble servant greets the General. We are going to visit our relatives in Huzhou County."

The handsome young general looked at the sweat on Tang Xinyi's forehead and the hair stuck to her face. She looked disheveled yet with a hint of messy beauty. She looked so fragile that it was heartbreaking and truly thrilling.

Then he looked at the dust on Tang Xinyi's shoes.

A bright and charming smile suddenly appeared on her face.
