Chapter 512 The Essence of Singing Opera

On the sixth day of September, the weather is perfect and suitable for traveling.

Rong Yu and Nan Xi did not leave the palace with great fanfare, but after arranging all the affairs in the palace, on a dark and windy night...well, one evening, they changed into light clothes, Qingchao Jiancong left the palace, took a few but absolutely elite master secret guards, and quietly left the Dongling Imperial Capital.

Many ministers in the court knew that they were leaving, but not many knew when they were leaving.

After all, it is not a trivial matter for a king to leave the palace, and some people with ulterior motives will inevitably try to assassinate him. Although Rong Yu has enough ability to protect Nan Xi, isn't it more comfortable to quietly treat the journey as a day of fun than to deal with assassinations all day long?

Besides, both Rong Yu and Nan Xi like to walk quietly and low-key, and don't like to be overly public. The journey is long, and it is better to walk leisurely and rest than to attract attention with a group of people.

It took less than a month to walk from Dongling to Dazhou.

Encountering Jiuxiao Pavilion's property along the way, Rong Yu would take Nan Xi to stay and rest, and get to know some of his subordinates he had never met before.

Passing by beautiful places, Rong Yu would deliberately stop and take Nan Xi to appreciate the local customs and customs, see the vast mountains, rivers and seas, gallop in the wind on the vast prairie, and watch countless horses flying on the grassland or in the valley. Ben's healthy posture.

"These are all properties under Jiuxiao Pavilion." Rong Yu pointed to the countless horses on the fertile border grassland, "enough to equip 400,000 sophisticated cavalry."

Four hundred thousand cavalry?

Nan Xi looked at the strong and well-tamed war horses in the distance, and said nothing for a long time.

A strong country cannot be separated from its army, and a strong army cannot be separated from its cavalry.

But even if they were once as tough as Northern Xinjiang and Da Zhou, it would be difficult for them to meet the standard of equipping 400,000 cavalry - 400,000 soldiers and horses and 400,000 cavalry are completely different concepts.

"These are just some of them." Rong Yu smiled lightly, "There are others elsewhere. Jiuxiao Pavilion has a special horse breeding farm, which is managed by dedicated people who are proficient in horse breeding. It can provide at least 500,000 strong war horses every year. This is also Jiuxiao Pavilion's special horse breeding farm. One of the sources of income.”

Nan Xi said: "Fortunately I married you."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about? Are you afraid that I will swallow up your country?"

"No." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "I mean these war horses are mine, Jiuxiao Pavilion is mine, and yours is mine. I am the richest queen in the world."

After hearing these words, Rong Yu smiled particularly happily: "Yes, I belong to Xi'er too. Xi'er is the richest person in the world - whether it is Tianhuang nobles or wealthy businessmen, they are all defeated by Xi'er. ”

Nan Xi turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you afraid that one day I will get tired of the old and kick you out, and then enjoy your wealth and favor other men?"

If he had heard this in the past, Rong Yu would have said something domineering about not allowing it, but today he just lowered his eyes and said: "I risked all my wealth and life just to love you unreservedly. If it comes to this At that time, I continued to worry about gains and losses, fearing that Xi'er would betray me in the future. This was a distrust of you and an underestimation of myself. "

Nan Xi was silent.

"Besides, what are these properties?" Rong Yu held her hand and said in a low and calm voice, "Xi'er loves me, and I am the richest and happiest man in the world; if Xi'er doesn't love me, what's the use of worrying? Keeping these things won’t give me any more confidence, so I’ll just give them to you and I’ll find a cliff and jump off it myself.”

The previous words were quite sincere and touching, but after hearing the last sentence, Nan Xi's expression instantly became strange.

She raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Find a cliff to jump off?"

Rong Yu was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "It would be better to die."

"You have spent so much effort to reunite in this life, and you are willing to die like this?"

"Xi'er is willing to love me, even if she goes through all kinds of hardships, it's worth it." Rong Yu said, "If Xi'er doesn't love me, no matter how much effort it takes to reunite, it may just mean burden and pain to Xi'er. Trouble, if that’s the case, why should I force it?”

Nan Xi was silent for a long time.

It should be said that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Hit him?

Reluctant to part with it.

Scold him?

She was not good at cursing in her previous life.

But to be honest, his words "It's better to just die" really made her want to take action.

"It's really rare to see such a considerate regent." She said lightly, "If that's the case, why do you insist on forcing me to go back to Dazhou with you?"

Rong Yu groaned, with confusion on his face: "Forcing? Didn't Xi'er come back with me willingly?"

Listen, his tone is so innocent, it really sounds like he has been wronged.

Nan Xi glanced at him casually: "Rong Yu."

"Um?"

Nan Xi turned around and walked towards the direction where the carriage was parked: "When you return to Dongling from Da Zhou, you can go and ask Xuanyuan Qi for advice when you have time."

Rong Yu held her hand and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "What do you want me to ask for?"

"I want to learn the essence of singing." Nan Xi said, "If you don't want to be the regent in the future, you can find a job in the theater."

Rong Yu smiled happily: "I only sing for Xi'er, and I only perform for Xi'er."

Nan Xi looked at the vast sky in the distance, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "I finally got a reunion, how can I bear to betray you again?"

Rong Yu's heart felt hot, and a sour and astringent throbbing fermented in his lungs.

He held her hand tightly unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "In this life, we will not let each other down, and live a good life."

"Yes." Nan Xi nodded slowly, "I can't give you the opportunity to jump off the cliff to commit suicide."

Rong Yu paused: "..."

If the regent of a country really jumps off the cliff to commit suicide, I'm afraid that the news will make the dignitaries of various countries laugh.

Moreover, if Rong Yu disappears in the nine countries, just this news will spread, and the world will immediately be in chaos. Ambitious people in various countries will no longer be able to sit still. At that time...

Tsk.

Nan Xi shook her head gently. Even for the sake of the world's stability, she had to protect this person and this heart.

The two got on the carriage and continued on their way.

Still walking and stopping, playing while walking.

On the second day of October, the two arrived outside the imperial city of Da Zhou smoothly.

Looking at the towering city gate in front of her and the people of the Great Zhou coming in and out of the city gate, Nan Xi sighed softly: "A lot of things must have happened in the Great Zhou during the year I was away. I wonder how Prince Yun, the regent, is doing."

"Prince Yun has nothing to worry about." Rong Yu thought of a message he had just received, "But something happened to Lin Jia, who you got along well with before."

Lin Jia?

Nan Xi lowered the curtain and frowned, "What happened to Lin Jia?"

The carriage slowly drove into the imperial city. Rong Yu sat aside and said calmly: "She got married, but the person she married was not reliable. She has been asking for a divorce recently."

Paused, "But her mother doesn't agree."
