Chapter 262

Xingji City, Imperial Palace, Golden Palace

"Your Majesty," the Baekje envoys said to each other, talking about the tragic experience of their own princess.

All of them were filled with righteous indignation and tears.

"The princess of our country is elegant, dignified, beautiful, and kind. She has admired the Yunchui culture since she was a child, and most of all, she admires the kingdom of heaven."

"This time I came to Xingji City from thousands of miles to form the eternal friendship between the two countries. How can I want to walk on the streets of the imperial capital, since I was murdered by Xiao Xiao for no reason..."

"Your Majesty wants to seek justice for the princess, and severely punish the murderer behind the scenes."

After the dragon case, Emperor Changxing looked at the documents in his hand expressionlessly while listening.

The back of the Jin Linwei commander below felt a little chilly.

The princess of Baekje was killed, and suddenly he sent his competent subordinates to investigate the incident.

But in the end the time is too short, and there are not many useful clues.

Seeing the Baekje envoys enter the palace at this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the few clues he found to Emperor Changxing.

"After killing Princess Baekje, the masked man who was injured immediately took poison and committed suicide when he saw that he could not escape. The thief came from Qingshi County and went to Beijing five years..."

wow wow.

Emperor Changxing rolled back impatiently.

Several pages later, Chen Xiujian's third nanny's distant cousin's nephew's nephew's nephew suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking at the names of the seven sons above, Emperor Changxing's brain twitched.

cough!
The old eunuch Chang Lu coughed lightly.

Emperor Changxing came back to his senses.

It was a good time to comfort the Baekje envoys in front of the palace.

Guaranteed to thoroughly investigate the murder of Princess Baekje and punish the murderer severely to give her justice before sending away a few people.

Humph.

Emperor Changxing snorted, "A small country with few people, even the envoys are crying..."

Jin Linwei and the commander of the patrol battalion stood silently, as if they had never heard of it.

boom.

Emperor Changxing seemed to have just realized that the two were still there, and put down the documents in his hand heavily.

"It's so courageous, the pirates dared to slaughter the princess of a country under my nose. This is not taking me and Yunchui seriously."

"It really makes no sense!"

The two commanders below were taken aback for a moment, and quickly shrank their heads.

Emperor Changxing rubbed his forehead.

"Poor Lao Qi has no mother's protection since he was a child. After finally growing up, he knows how to calm chaos and share my worries. He is a good and understanding child."

"I didn't expect the Japanese pirates to assassinate his unmarried daughter-in-law for their own selfishness..."

"Chang Lu," he looked at the old eunuch beside him, "Let the queen choose a good wife for Lao Qi again, and we will marry on an auspicious day."

Chang Lu responded with a smile.

When the news reached Zhen Guogong's mansion, Princess Yiguang and Yingpan each rode their favorite horses, walking around the school grounds and chatting happily.

Huang Ming and the guards of Duke Zhen's Mansion are still in the west and have not returned.

There were dozens of veterans in the empty school field before.

These veterans are more or less disabled.

Some lost a hand, some lost an eye, and some even lost a leg.

However, as if they didn't realize it, various defensive measures were unambiguously arranged around them.

Although Princess Yiguang is a woman, she is a famous general herself.

After carefully looking at the veteran's arrangement, she nodded in satisfaction.

"You girl, this is Tangtang Township's mansion, how could Xiaoxiao dare to sneak in. Are they desperate?"

Yingpan giggled and said, "I know you and the prince are very skilled in martial arts. But the Duke's mansion is too big, and the guards are not there. Isn't this just in case."

Besides, now that there are people who dare to assassinate a princess in the street, it is better to be cautious.

Beep, beep, footsteps sounded.

"Grandmother!" Huo Qing hurried in.

He looked at those veterans, and nodded towards Yingpan with a smile: "My brother and sister are interested."

Yingpan greeted Huo Qing and stopped the horse tactfully.

"Your Highness, the horse that has been running for so long today has enjoyed itself. I look forward to riding with you again when I have time."

Princess Yiguang knew that her grandson was busy, so she didn't keep her.

The two chatted for a few more words before Yingpan returned to General Xuanwu's mansion with auspiciousness.

The grandparents and grandchildren turned to the main hall.

Huo Qing talked about what happened in the Golden Palace.

He sighed: "Jinlin Guard and the Patrol Battalion haven't found out who killed Princess Baekje, His Majesty has already placed the crime on the Japanese pirates."

"It seems that he is determined to send troops to Baekje."

After speaking, Huo Qing looked up at the map in front of him.

All the sons and daughters of the Huo family are guarding the frontier at the Yanfeng Fortress, and they are suffering from the double attack of Xiliang and the epidemic.

The imperial court or Emperor Changxing didn't send the legion to relieve the siege for a long time. He turned his attention to the peninsula in the northeast...

Huo Qing didn't know what to say anymore.

Ha ha.

"Didn't find out the murderer?" Princess Yiguang's smile was full of sarcasm, "I don't think so."

"Ninety percent of the time it was the Seventh Prince Chen Xiujian's hand!"

Huo Qing was startled, and couldn't help thinking.

Princess Yiguang shook her head, "Our emperor cherishes his reputation the most. He has always felt that even if he cannot be famous in history, he must not leave a stain on the history books."

"Therefore, even if Princess Baekje was not killed by Japanese pirates, His Majesty will place the blame on them."

After all, it is not the son's fault to teach the father!
What's wrong with a son killing his unmarried daughter-in-law in the street?
Especially some time ago, Japanese pirates killed, burned and looted on the wealthy eastern coast.

Emperor Changxing hasn't settled accounts with them yet, so they just got together now.

"And..." Princess Yiguang looked at the map and remained silent for a while, "Compared with Dingxi County, Baekje is closer to Xingji City."

Xiliang Prairie.

After several struggles, An Wenkang finally realized the strength of the unknown gang of horse thieves.

In desperation, he could only ask the clansmen to strengthen their defenses, and called back all the most important horse herds, gathering them near the clan's garrison.

They also sent a large number of clansmen, hounds and hawks to watch closely.

Intended to stop at rest and wait for attack.

In this way, Ren Ning and Lei Er had nothing to do.

The two traveled far away for half a month, and could only hunt some cattle and sheep.

In the end, seeing that they could not get close to the camp and horse herd of the Angel tribe, they turned and left without hesitation.

The two riders were as fast as shooting stars, galloping all the way north.

"Old Ren," Lei Er yelled loudly, "How long is it from here to the desert of no return?"

"It's still far away." Ren Ning looked at the compass, "It's estimated that there are still nearly a thousand miles."

Lei Er opened his mouth wide in astonishment: "So far?"

"It's not too far." Ren Ning smiled: "There are only some small and medium-sized tribes ahead, and they will be there soon."

Only when encountering large and medium-sized tribes, they need to detour or find a way to cause damage, otherwise they can run straight forward.

With the speed of running thunder and chasing wind, it won't take long for a mere thousand miles.

After more than half a month, the sky was burning hot.The surrounding grass became noticeably thinner, and the air became drier.

The two stopped at a small high ground and raised their binoculars to look around.

However, there are vast grasslands everywhere, and no desert is found at all.

"Are Tiele and the others really here?" Lei Er was a little suspicious.

Ren Ning smiled without saying a word. After looking down at the scattered cacti on the ground, he drew a cloud-piercing arrow with his backhand.

Sigh, it was put into the sky.

Snapped!
The colorful clouds slowly spread out in the sky, dazzling and beautiful.

"Old Ren," Lei Er hastily reminded, "We only have five cloud-piercing arrows."

The herdsmen's leaders of Dashe usually carry cloud-piercing arrows on their bodies in case of emergency.

And such people often have guards.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to snatch five of them.

"The weather nearby is good, and you should be able to see through the clouds dozens of miles away." Ren Ning smiled: "Five are enough."

In this way, the two went west and then east, and every time they ran nearly a hundred miles, they put a cloud-piercing arrow in the sky.

Another half month passed, and finally a faint figure appeared on the hill ahead.
