Chapter 202 Xiaobiezhi Loves Sweets

"Master Imperial Envoy, tonight we are going to rest in Xining, the capital city of Jingxi Prefecture. The governor of Jingxi has already arranged a reception banquet for you. Look..."

Jiming asked cautiously.

"That's it."

Zhao Cuo, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, opened his eyes and said.

"Your Majesty has ordered that this trip should not be done with fanfare. You go and thank the governor for his kindness, and tell him not to bother his teachers and mobilize the crowd."

"The subordinate takes orders."

After Jiming responded, he said again.

"Master Zhao, your residence has been arranged, should you go directly there now? It's already Xu time."

"I also want to rest early."

Zhao Cuo opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at Ji Ming who was standing beside the horse outside.

"Master Ji, don't be too busy. Let the soldiers settle down and rest early and continue on their way tomorrow."

He showed a cordial smile to Jiming. As a Shangguan, he could sit in the carriage and talk to him, but sticking his head out was also a kind of courtesy.

"My lord, rest well and I will take care of everything."

Ji Ming cupped his hands and said, Zhao Xiaogong smiled and nodded, then put down the curtain, and then the carriage moved again.

"What would Master Guoshi want for dinner, I'll ask someone to prepare it when we arrive at the mansion where we're staying. I heard that the flower cakes in Jingxi Mansion are must-try desserts here."

"This seat does not eat..."

Chu Biezhi subconsciously gave the same answer as when he was asked a few days ago. After realizing what Zhao Cuo said, he suddenly whispered:

"Let's eat the flower cake you mentioned tonight. I want to eat rose filling, and of course I want some other flavors."

"It seems that I will prepare some for you before going on the road tomorrow."

Young Master Zhao couldn't help laughing immediately.

Xiao Biezhi's operation of eating sweets as a meal is replaced by a real child, and he will definitely be beaten.

On the day she set off from the capital, she ate a whole box of candied haws prepared by Zhao Cuo within an hour.

"I have seen the master!"

Zhao wrongly got off the carriage in front of the mansion prepared for him by Governor Jingxi.

The attendants who seemed to have been waiting for a long time immediately saluted respectfully.

Seeing this scene, he knew that the governor of Jingxi Mansion was also an old bureaucrat who knew how to make money.

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Young Master Zhao waved his hands and said.

"Let the kitchen prepare some food, and prepare some famous pastries in Jingxi, let's go to work."

"Report to the Imperial Envoy."

An old butler stepped forward and lowered his head and said.

"Master Futai Mu has already ordered me to wait at the mansion to prepare a reception banquet in advance,"

The so-called Futai is the respectful title for the governor of a government.

"Master Zhao asked for small cakes, so I sent someone to prepare them."

'There is nothing wrong with Governor Mu's two-handed preparation. '

Zhao Cuo couldn't help but speak in his heart at this time.

Ji Ming told him just now that the governor of Jingxi had arranged a banquet for him.

The Futai was so polite that he arranged all the family banquets after he refused the banquet.

"That's good. In addition, hot water should be boiled in the Tangmu room. Those who are fine can rest first."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the mansion with the support of a group of followers. As for the servants arranged for him by the governor of Jingxi, at most he ordered them to cook and boil water.

The only ones who can really stay by my side to serve are the people brought here from the capital.

The disaster of the East Wall must be prevented.

"what about the taste?"

In the brightly lit lobby, Zhao Cuo sat at the dining table wiggling his chopsticks, and of course focused more on Xiao Biezhi beside him.

"Floral fragrance is strong but not as sweet as candied haws."

Master Chu replied in a tender voice.

"If I did, I'd give you more sugar."

Zhao Cuo couldn't help laughing when she thought of what she had mocked herself on the day of departure.

"Humph……"

Xiao Biezhi understood what he said, and did not continue to respond, but quietly ate a few plates of sweets on the table.

"Master Imperial Envoy!"

At this time, a secret guard of the Eastern Palace in a black costume walked in quickly.

"This is a message from Ningguo."

"Is there any news from the other six countries and Huainan?"

He asked while accepting the seal letter from the secret guard.

"No news has been received yet."

The Eastern Palace secret guard bowed his head and replied.

"I know you go down."

Zhao Cuo was not in a hurry to read the letter, but continued to enjoy a sumptuous dinner. What happened in Ningguo far away cannot be changed by the time of this meal.

He took a leisurely dinner and took a shower again.

After dealing with the daily chores, he came to the dormitory with the letter.

"Master National Teacher, you are here, right?"

He sat at the desk and said suddenly before opening the envelope.

"Do you want me to avoid it?"

Chubiezhi's flat voice sounded.

"No."

Zhao Cuo said with a smile.

"I want to say that you don't have to stare at me in the dark every night. I'm still practicing anyway. You can meditate beside me like you're in a carriage."

After he finished speaking, he heard only a slight response.

"Oh."

The topic is dead.

Young Master Zhao looked down at the letter.

"What's the situation with Prince Ning?"

His brow furrowed quickly.

The few lines on this letter told him what it meant to say that less words matter more.

The unexpected incident mentioned above made him alert that the Seven Kings might have already made a big move.

"Prince Ning, the prince, rushed out of the palace with dozens of soldiers on horseback last night? Still missing?"

Zhao Cuo was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity.

"Go and call Su Ping over."

Su Ping is the secret guard of the Eastern Palace who just delivered the letter to him.

"Mr. Zhao Qin."

The secret guard who has been passed on will arrive soon.

"You arrange to have the secret guards of the East Palace in Jingxi Mansion start searching the entire mansion for Prince Ning from tomorrow morning,"

Zhao squinted his eyes while giving the wrong order.

"Take orders."

Su Ping got up and left immediately after getting the order.

"Prince Ning escaped at this time?"

Grandpa Zhao could only think of two possibilities for this matter.

Either Prince Ning did not want to be a puppet crown prince in the capital.

He fled to the feudal kingdom of the Six Kings and wanted to borrow soldiers to perform the filial piety of father and son.

"Or he wants to be the crown prince, but King Ning doesn't want to be the puppet emperor, then he should come to me."

Zhao Cuo knew that his simple idea might be able to get close to the whole story, but the truth would only become more complicated, but the answer would come in two days.

The next morning, he continued on his way to Ningguo without waiting for the news from the secret guard of the Eastern Palace.

I believe there will be results in the remaining two days of the journey.

"Mr. Zhao Qin."

The situation was beyond Mr. Zhao Xiaogong's expectations, because the situation came too fast, and the imperial envoy team ran along the imperial road after leaving the city and suddenly slowed down.

This kind of thing can only be forced to stop when someone forcibly blocks the way.

Ji Ming's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Report to the imperial envoy! There are more than a dozen unidentified thugs blocking the road ahead, how should we deal with this?"
