This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 422
The capital of Qi State.

Changyue.

In a room on the second floor of the Fortune Inn, the window facing the main street was half open, and an ordinary-looking man was quietly standing by the window and looking at the situation on the street.

It is the capital of the same country, but the level of excitement here is far inferior to that of Yanjing. Although there are people coming and going on the main street, if you look carefully, you will find that there are very few young men among the passers-by, and most of them are young men. It's some little women, stall owners or something.

Moreover, basically everyone on the street looks in a hurry, and a large group of soldiers and horses will pass by right in front of the street from time to time. Those who run slowly are bound to be whipped by the soldier on horseback, and then scolded.But even so, the person who had been whipped could only scream, did not dare to say anything, and then hurried out of the way.

At this moment, the capital of a mighty big country actually gives people the feeling of being overwhelmed, and the atmosphere is really depressing.

After the disguise, Wen Ruyan looked at the situation below with a calm expression on his face.

After they set off from Yanjing, the four of them traveled for eight days before arriving here. Wen Ruyan was indeed shocked by the situation on the street when he first entered Changyue, but after two days in a row, he faced this situation now. In this situation, he is not surprised.

clang clang ~
There was a knock on the door, Wen Ruyan closed the window, turned around and said, "Come in."

The three of Ji Ning pushed the door open, and Wen Ruyan walked slowly to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and asked, "What news did you find out?"

Ji Ning clasped his fists and replied: "My lord, the situation is the same as the previous two days. King Heshuo is still recruiting soldiers forcibly. It can even be said that he is insane. Ordinary strong young men dare not show up easily, but if they are found by the Xiaoqi Battalion, they will surely Forcibly brought back to the camp, and Changyue city gate is under martial law at this moment, people are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave, so although many young men have the intention to escape here, they have no chance at all."

Wen Ruyan nodded, and then asked Ji Yuan, "How is the situation there?"

Ji Yuan also acted very serious at this time, clasped his fists and said: "The Heshuo Palace is heavily guarded, and I dare not get too close, but there are a large number of officials going there every day, and I don't know what they are discussing. There is King Heshuo who goes out of the mansion every day, either to the palace or to the Xiaoqi camp, but every time he travels, there are hundreds of guards in front of and behind his car, and all of them are elite soldiers. Make a move, I’m afraid there will be no chance at all.”

Wen Ruyan shook his head and let out a long sigh, then asked Ji Qiu, "Where are you?"

Ji Qiu calmly replied: "Since Emperor Qi became seriously ill, Princess Ye Zhen of Qi State took the young crown prince out of the palace by order of the emperor. During this time, he has been living in the mansion where Emperor Qi was still the crown prince. Princess Ri did not know why, she found various reasons and suddenly cleared out a large number of guards from the prince's mansion. King Heshuo had been there this morning, but when he finally came out, he had an angry face, and he didn't know what happened. "

Wen Ruyan smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that this princess is also a sensible person!"

"By the way, son, Princess Qi just left the mansion, and my subordinates followed her from a distance for a long time, and finally saw her go to the mansion of the prime minister of Qi with my own eyes, and then my subordinates rushed back." Ji Qiu said again .

"Qi Prime Minister Jiang Zhengyang?" Wen Ruyan murmured to himself.

"Exactly."

Ji Ning also said: "My lord, is this princess going to ask the prime minister for help?"

Wen Ruyan shook his head and said, "I don't know, we don't know who this prime minister of Qi is at the moment."

Speaking of this, Wen Ruyan's mind suddenly flashed, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. Ji Yuan saw his expression, and immediately curled his lips at Ji Ning, Said: "Young master must have thought of some bad idea again."

Wen Ruyan didn't mind what he said, and immediately got up and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Ji Ning asked.

Wen Ruyan said meaningfully: "Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Ji Ning was shocked: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find a way to get close to Ye Zhen, the Princess of Qi. You don't need to worry about this matter. Ji Qiu, you don't have to go to the Prince's Mansion to keep an eye on these days. Follow Ji Yuan to Heshuo Prince's Mansion, where the security is heavily guarded and dangerous. Higher, you and Ji Yuan go there together so that you can take care of each other, Ji Ning, you continue to inquire about everything in the city, I will contact you if there is anything."

As soon as Wen Ruyan said this, the expressions of Ji Ning and the three of them changed drastically: "Master, is this too dangerous? The princess is being watched closely by King Heshuo all the time. I'm afraid it would be wrong for you to show up rashly." OK?"

"Don't worry, I only have an opinion. Besides, even if my father came here, I might not be able to recognize me with my face. Are you still worried that King Heshuo will find out my identity? All right, you can do as I say. "

After saying this, Wen Ruyan left straight away, leaving Ji Ning and the three of them staring at each other.

The Prime Minister's Mansion of Qi State.

Princess Ye Zhen, who was dressed in gorgeous palace attire, came out Shi Shiran, accompanied by Prime Minister Jiang Zhengyang with a smile on her face.

Looking around, the [-]-year-old princess Ye Zhen's skin is better than snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks around, she has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people fascinated by it and dare not desecrate it.The eyebrows are curved, the small nose is slightly upturned, the face is like white jade, and the face is like a flower.

Her long hair was draped behind her back, and a mutton jade hairpin was dotted on it. Although her light green palace dress was splendid, it was unavoidably overshadowed by her delicate cheeks.

When she opened her mouth, it was as clear and sweet as big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate.

"Thank you Lord Jiang for your hospitality." Ye Zhen nodded slightly.

Jiang Zhengyang hurriedly waved his hands fearfully and said, "Princess is going to kill this old minister!"

Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile and said: "The prime minister is joking, I have been bothering you for a long time today, so I will take my leave first."

Jiang Zhengyang bowed: "Princess, go slowly!"

The guards had already prepared the carriage at this time, with the help of the maid, Ye Zhen slowly got into the carriage, and then walked away.

The prime minister, Jiang Zhengyang, stood quietly at the gate of the mansion and looked at Ye Zhen in the distance, with no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After the carriage drove for three or four miles, the maid who entered the carriage with Ye Zhen asked carefully, "Princess, what does the prime minister say?"

Ye Zhen couldn't help but frowned and rubbed her white jade-like forehead, and said helplessly, "I don't know what Master Jiang's position is at the moment."

When the maid heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she was talking, but at this moment the carriage stopped suddenly, and then there was a cry of pain from outside!

Ye Zhen was also stunned by this sudden pause, and after she sat down firmly, she opened her mouth and asked outside: "What happened?"

"Go back to the princess, the carriage hit someone."
