Chapter 52
"Kill Xu Xiang, it's too late to wait for him to leave before making arrangements."

Xiao Yan has been in the room for a while, Xian Ying is still standing there, recalling what he just heard.

Is the wolf hiding in the dark night finally showing his fangs and claws?

Jiang Xianying is 21 years old this year. He is actually from the state of Jin.

Seven years ago, he was on a mission to Yong State with Wei Yuanshan, the first prince of Jin State.

The first time Jiang Xianying saw Xiao Yan was in the cold palace of Yong Kingdom. He and His Highness went to visit the rumored prince, and what he saw was a rag quilt covered with rags in the dim palace. boy.

There was no charcoal fire in the hall, and the boy shivered while wrapped in the quilt. He raised his head and stared stubbornly at the ice and snow in the bowl, which melted little by little into drinkable snow water.

He was dying, but he lived so tenaciously, his amber eyes were cold and contradictory, like an indomitable beast at night.

Everyone in the world knew that Xiao Jixing wanted to kill Xiao Yan. He was afraid of being called a tyrant who killed his brother and killed his nephew, so he threw Xiao Yan into the cold palace and waited for him to fend for himself.

Later, Jiang Xianying was ordered to stay in Yan State and became Xiao Yan's entourage.

His Highness said that Xiao Yan's mother-in-law Wei Rudai was his sister, but many years ago, Wei Rudai chose a path that went against her fate, and she wandered around the world since then and was no longer recognized by the royal family.

His Highness still cares about his sister, but Wei Rudai is already dead after all, and the protection he can give Xiao Yan is limited to when anyone wants Xiao Yan to die, they need to weigh up, whether this move will offend Jin, that's all. .

Over the years, Xiao Yan has been humiliated by Emperor Yong State, regarded as a stumbling block in the struggle for power by the princes of Yong State, and the supporters behind those princes can't wait to get rid of him, but no one dares to do that and kill him people.

Jiang Xianying always felt that his son was like a wolf in the wasteland, dormant, lingering on and enduring the torture, but he never really gave in for a moment.

But that would be too much work.

Jiang Xianying regained his senses, but he couldn't tell whether it was sour or emotional.

He stepped back silently, preparing to contact Geng Chuan's special letterhead tomorrow.

He also hated Xu Xiang, the scum, but he thought that the son would kill Xu Xiang himself in the future to take revenge, but he didn't expect that the son would let Geng Chuan do it at this time.

This doesn't seem to be the son's style.

"The day after tomorrow, the envoys of the Yong Kingdom and their entourage will leave Shangjing, take the official road, pass through Nanfu, and pass through Jinzhou City, where the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Yong meet.

By the way, the subordinates also inquired that the three civil servants in the envoys of the Yong Kingdom this time did not seem to have a good relationship with Xu Xiang. "

"I asked for an decree yesterday to visit the Empress Dowager at the Qianyuan Palace, and the royal father agreed."

In the Weiyang Palace, Zhang Xiaonian unfolded a simple sheepskin map and pointed to one of them.

"The servant, April, and Yinbing will lead a team of Yulin soldiers and horses together, disguised as horse bandits outside Jinzhou City, and intercept them here. Your Highness only needs to sit in the carriage, and the servant will be Your Highness. Present Xu Xiang's head."

Yinbing stood in the corner, as if everything had nothing to do with her, Zhenxue thought about what to pack, not to let the princess suffer along the way, Xunchun looked worried, thinking, I must make something delicious for the princess tonight.

"Is Your Highness really going to take risks with your own body? It takes more than ten days to travel from Shangjing to Zhaodi. Even if Your Highness rides in a carriage and is bumpy and tired, His Highness's body will be fine," Xunchun said in a low voice.

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the words "Jincheng" on the map.

When you arrive at Jincheng, it is not the territory of the Yan Kingdom. It is most suitable to start here.

At the same time, she also wanted to go to Nanfu to find an old friend.

Chu Yi's eyes swept across the place name of Yinzhou in Nanfu, then calmly retracted his gaze and said, "Who said that this palace is going to take a carriage."

Zhang Xiaonian raised his head and looked at the pretty face of the princess.

The princess rose to her feet, her tone light and crisp:
"You go to inform April, ride a horse, Ben Gong is leaving tonight!"

There was a hint of astonishment on Zhan Xue's face. In the end, she pursed her lips and nodded: "This servant will immediately pack up."

As night fell, the bustling and bustling capital of Shangjing was very quiet during the day. Chu Yi reined in his horse in front of the city gate and showed his military service token to the commander-in-chief.

The lieutenant saluted respectfully, without asking any further questions, and ordered someone to open the city gate.

Behind her was a group of men in black on horseback.

In the dark corner of the city gate, three figures stood quietly.

They were far away from the city gate, and they could only vaguely see the figures of Chu Yi's team. Even if they talked and talked, their voices would be lost in the night wind.

"His Royal Highness, this is an opportunity! The princess didn't go to the palace to visit the queen mother at all. If she went to the palace, why would she leave the city in the middle of the night, cover up, and not even prepare the carriage? She clearly dispatched troops privately and left Shangjing!"

A woman's excited voice sounded suppressed.

If Chu Yi was here, he would definitely be able to tell that the woman who spoke was the maid, Yi Qiu, whom she expelled from Weiyang Palace not long ago.

At this moment, Yi Qiuzheng stood respectfully beside Chu Zhao together with the young guards who had rescued Chu Yi before.

Yi Qiu stared at Chu Yi in the distance, her voice hoarse, and continued:
"The slave can see that besides Yinbing, the other man next to the princess is Li Siyue, who used to be the prince's subordinate, and is now the head of the Yulin Army.

And the school captain who is guarding the city gate today is also from the prince's side. The princess mobilized the Yulin army privately. "

Chu Zhao stood with his hands behind his back. He stared deeply at the scorching shadow on the snow-white horse, his eyes were as thick as black ink that could not be melted.

Hearing Yi Qiu's slightly noisy words, a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes.

Yiqiu turned around and looked carefully at the man in front of her. Even in the dark night, the admiration in her eyes could not be concealed.

Seeing that Chu Zhao was silent, she said again: "His Royal Highness, we can participate in the princess book tomorrow. If we are lucky, the princess will cause enough trouble, and maybe even bring down the prince! Your highness does not need to speak in person, the servant thinks that , you can tell the Empress about this, and then ask Liu An to go to the court, that is, Liu Cheng noticed that the number of Yu Lin army is wrong, even if the emperor loves the princess again, it is impossible for her to allow her to act like this!"

The more she talked, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but imagined in her mind the fate of the prince after the incident was exposed. Therefore, she did not notice that Chu Zhao's complexion had darkened a little.

"You want to tell the mother-in-law to have the Liu family impeach Chu Yi?"

Chu Zhao finally spoke and asked softly, with a calm and cool tone.

Yiqiu said: "The concubine Xian will definitely be able to help His Highness arrange this matter. The Crown Prince has fallen, and Your Highness is the only one—"

"Tanfeng, about Chu Yi's departure from the city tonight, not a word is allowed to be disclosed to the concubine and the Fan family."

Chu Zhao interrupted her words and commanded in a low and magnetic voice.

Yiqiu was stunned, and looked at Chu Zhao inexplicably: "Why, why?"

Beside him, Tan Feng nodded slightly and held down the saber on his waist: "Subordinates obey."

"Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

When Yiqiu was still trying to persuade, Chu Yi had already set off, riding one by one, like a silver moon shadow swept out of the city gate, with a posture like the wind.

The team of men in black followed closely, and within a few breaths, they had disappeared into the night.

Chu Zhao stared in that direction, until he couldn't see Chu Yi's back at all, then he retracted his gaze, and his eyes became sore.
