The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 399 Departure
"Afternoon? Lord Hou, are you in a hurry, madam?"

Xuan Shijing came out of the mansion, Wang Shi and now still don't know what happened in the palace.

"That's right. I still need to go back to the mansion first. As for the guards I'm bringing with me, pick a few who are skilled, smart, and courageous, and set off with me. Also, where is Li Yuanjing now?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"We have already started to go from Guizhou to Jingzhou. If we hurry up, we will arrive in Jingzhou in three to five days." Qian Dui said.

"In this way, if you don't hurry, it will be too late. It will take seven or eight days to go from Chang'an to Jingzhou at full speed, day and night. At that time, Li Yuanjing entered Jingzhou, even if he did everything he could, it would be difficult." Xuan Shijing said: "It's too late, let's go now, get ready to spend money, and the rest, I'll take care of it on the way."

"Since that's the case, the younger one on Madam's side should send someone to report it. As for the money, the younger one will prepare it for Lord Hou." After finishing speaking, Qiandui bowed to Xuan Shijing and stepped back to help Xuan Shi Jing prepares things.

Xuan Shijing also went downstairs and walked up to Long'er: "The Xuanwu Tower will be handed over to Qiandui for a while, you still have Gao Jun and Shi Hu, come with me to Jingzhou. It's a bit troublesome, so you need to be cautious."

"Yes, Lord Hou, do you need to prepare anything?" Long'er asked.

"Qiandui has already gone to make some money, and there are carriages and horses in the backyard, so we just need to take people to set off." Xuan Shijing said.

"Oh, my Lord Marquis, it's not so easy to go out. It's winter now, and if you sleep in the wilderness or something, and you haven't prepared anything, what should you do? You'd better wait here, slaves go Let me handle it for you." Long'er said helplessly.

"Keep everything simple, our time is very tight now." Xuan Shijing said.

"Okay my lord."

Long'er turned and left the counter, and walked towards the backyard.

About an hour later, everyone in Xuanwulou gathered at the door, two carriages, more than a dozen guards including Long'er Shihu and Gao Jun, were ready to go.

"Master Hou, this is your money along the way." The two people behind Qiandui carried a small box, Xuan Shijing opened it and looked at it, there were two hanging copper coins, and the rest were gold lockets and other things. If you use it, you can naturally find a place to exchange it for change.

Qiandui prepared quite a lot of money, even if he spent all the way to Jingzhou slowly, it was enough. Xuan Shijing asked people to load things into the carriage, got on the horse by himself, and after saying goodbye to Qiandui, he led the money. The team left Chang'an City through Chunming Gate.

The shortest road from Chang'an to Jingzhou is to start from Jingzhao Mansion and cross the Qinling Mountains all the way to Shangzhou. After last week, it will go straight to Guizhou. Apart from some more prosperous towns and cities, there are no landmarks on the way. The state capital is here, and when you arrive in Guizhou, you can go down the river to Jingzhou via Xiazhou.

Although there are branches of the Marquis Caravan in the two big cities of Dengzhou and Xiangzhou, if you want to take this road comfortably, it will inevitably delay you for a few days.

Now that time is so tight, Xuan Shijing and others can only suffer a little bit.

Although most things in the Qinling Mountains in winter are hibernating, the danger cannot be ignored. It is not impossible to encounter a large animal looking for food like many years ago, but now Xuan Shijing has a lot of people here. All of them are masters, even if they come out as a bear, they can kill it and make it into a waistcoat.

In the Lizheng Hall, Deyi walked into the hall lightly, stood in front of His Majesty Li Er, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Dongshan has already set off from Chang'an with people."

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Jing'er's movements are fast."

"This child is probably afraid of delaying things. After all, the journey from Chang'an to Jingzhou is not short. Yuan Jing has been away from Chang'an for so many days. He must have arrived in Jingzhou. I don't know where the father is. Sigh, Yuanjing This is really a crime." Empress Changsun sighed.

"Don't underestimate that kid Jing'er. Yuan Jing offended Jing'er badly more than ten years ago. This time, he is desperate to take Yuan Jing back to Chang'an. Heh heh, I'm afraid Yuan Jing may not be able to survive this journey. Don't suffer." His Majesty Li Er said with a sinister smile.

"Your Majesty"

"Don't worry, you must have some clues about some things, Guanyin servant girl. Why did Yuan Jing rush back to Jingzhou before Yuan Ri and give up participating in Yuan Ri's Great Court Meeting and the earlier family banquet? Just based on this alone, can it be difficult for you? Still can't figure it out? If there is really an urgent need to return to the fiefdom, why did you sneak away and leave in such a hurry." His Majesty Li Er said: "In the early days, Jing Er collected a lot of evidence against Yuan Jing, The farce in Da'an Palace is not accidental, if Yuan Jingxing is sitting upright, there is no need to be afraid, the account book is now in my hands, and it will be a new year, so it should be dealt with properly."

"It's all old stuff, and your Majesty doesn't need to be too harsh." Empress Changsun advised.

Rebellion, whoever is involved in this kind of thing, can't escape a death. The ministers in the Wude period are now old, dead, retired, and it is not a good thing to pursue the death. Besides, these years , Their relationship with the imperial court is getting weaker and weaker, isn't it?

"That's the case, I didn't intend to stir up any wind and rain in Chang'an. After all these years, as long as those people are honest, I will not do anything to them. I have already handed over this matter to the auxiliary machine. He has full power to deal with it, which is more important, he knows." His Majesty Li Er sighed and said: "I hope Jing'er's trip to Jingzhou this time can go smoothly, and don't cause any sword disaster in Jingzhou."

His Majesty Li Er has not forgotten the celestial phenomenon that Li Chunfeng told him years ago, the military disaster in the southwest.

Now he asked Xuan Shijing to go to Jingzhou to bring Li Yuanjing back to Chang'an, hoping to resolve this disaster.

"Deyi." His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Deyi.

"The servant is here." Deyi bowed forward.

"Put on Li Ji to see me in Ganlu Palace."

"promise."

"Guanyin maidservant, I'm going to Ganlu Hall to deal with political affairs first." His Majesty Li Er turned his head to look at Empress Changsun again.

"Well, let's go, Your Majesty." Empress Changsun stood up and replied gently.

His Majesty Li Er left the gate of the Lizheng Hall, and accompanied by Deyi, went to the Ganlu Hall.

"The concubine sent you off respectfully." Empress Changsun bowed gracefully to the back of His Majesty Li Er.

On the same day, news of Xuan Shijing riding out of Chang'an by more than a dozen people also spread to the palaces of the nobles in Chang'an City. The reactions of various parties were also different. Cheng Yaojin was just pleased that His Majesty used Xuan Shijing so much. Here is an explanation , the Xuan family has successors.

As for the old guys who were secretly at odds with Xuan Shijing, they couldn't sit still.
