Chapter 417 High profile
For Yue Xiaosi, the matter in Yanzi City was just a matter of clear facts and conclusive evidence. It was not difficult to verify them. But even so, he stayed for five days. He prepared a car with various confessions and physical evidence, and then took Zhen Rong on the way back.
This time, compared with the fact that only two guards took turns driving when he came, the show could be said to be full of sturdy carriages. Even the carriage he had taken before, which had no advantages other than being strong, was now replaced by the largest wealthy family in Yanzi City. A bed could be laid out inside, a luxury carriage with good earthquake resistance, and a good horse with a strong pull.
As for the car he turned out to be placed behind to pull various documents as physical evidence.
Only Zhen Rong knew why the civil and military officials in Yanzi City, the gentry and wealthy gentry were very afraid of the Prince of Lanling, stayed for so long. What did you find out the whole story of the matter, what did you make up for Wu Rong's corruption and abuse of power and other crimes? What did you investigate how serious the favoritism and abuse of power were before Qiu Shou? What did you identify the accomplices who were in love with Wu Rong, and the loyal and kind-hearted who were not afraid of tyranny...
All are lying!
Xiao Changgong told him privately that, on the one hand, it was for Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu to buy time, and on the other hand, it was for them to travel day and night, and those who were tired and exhausted, rested more. While Zhen Rong was amazed at this blatant lazy, he also knew how much of the ingredients was because they were sympathetic to him.
After all, he had the greatest consumption before the Shangjing Rebellion and the journey to Xinle City in Shangjing.
People's hearts are full of flesh. After being taken care of by all kinds of people along the way, even though he still does not know the true identity of the Prince of Lanling, it does not prevent him from gradually convinced people.
"Arong."
The entourage was next to the carriage. It was the first time that Zhen Rong, who had begun to perform his job as a cavalry, was serious. Seeing that the curtains of the carriage were opened, he quickly got closer and bent down and asked, "What are the instructions of the prince?"
"No order, just bored."
Yue Xiaosi yelled listlessly, then yawned lazily: "When I came, I was burning fire, and even I rushed up the carriage myself for two hours. I didn't know the way and had to suppress the speed. The string in my mind was tense, but when I went back, I was rushing forward and backward. After I turned around and entered the city, I might even have to yell the gong to open the way. Arong, do you know how many people just wanted to enjoy the power of the market like this, so I sharpened my head and wanted to become an official?"
Zhen Rong was slightly stunned, then straightened her back and replied, "I don't know how many people think so, but I know that Wu Rong, the Wuwei Captain who once guarded Yanzi City, must think so."
"You're right." Yue Xiaosi sat down very hard and put his elbow on the car window. Seeing the guard who took turns to drive him to Yanzi City, he turned around and nodded slightly, and then drove away some of the other guards and horses in close proximity. He didn't look at Zhen Rong and said to himself, "I was the princess Ping'an when I was not the prince of Lanling. I sounded very glorious, right? But Ping'an was a sick Xishi, the most inconspicuous among brothers and sisters. She and I were always looked down upon."
"And I am not like other prince consorts. They have a family behind them, but I don't. There is no one in my family, and I am the only one left. The people in my palace were collected and raised one by one later, including you. But at least compared to those poor people who have no food and clothing and are displaced, I have lived a good life, so I am not satisfied. As for the days that seem to be envied by everyone, it is actually meaningless. It's just that there is no thing to rely on for survival, so I've thrown my jar and raged in a mess!"
When Zhen Rong heard that Xiao Changgong was evaluating the past and the present, he couldn't help but have an illusion that Xiao Changgong seemed not to be talking about himself, but was trying to remind him with his own experience.
When he was in Qingcheng, he seemed to be the close disciple of the head of the sect. Countless people even said with certainty that his master would go past his senior brothers and hand over the sect inheritance to him. Therefore, because his master asked him Ru Erjie and other seniors who had taught him martial arts, this became a reason to support this argument.
Because of this, he seemed to be the pride of heaven in his sect, but in fact he had no real friends among his peers. Therefore, he attached so much importance to Liu Guofeng's friendship at that time and regarded people as the most important brother!
But the master has always treated him like a father, and many of his uncles are very kind to him. Needless to say, Erjie, the seniors who have taught him martial arts. Although Qingcheng's industry has gradually shrunk due to the restraint of the imperial military envoys, and even if the material life is not difficult, it is the level of a well-off family, he has always lived a fulfilling life and is very grateful.
However, life in Qingcheng is definitely a world of difference compared to the conditions Xiao Changgong offered him at that time!
Compared with the disciple of Qingcheng and the prince of Lanling, anyone knows how to choose!
However, Zhen Rong could see that Xiao Changgong refused to be kind to him, but was driven over to be a cavalry slave by the emperor. On the surface, he was furious, kicked and scolded, but in fact he showed more care and warmth in his daily relationship. At this time, he heard this obviously pointing out the future life path, and he quickly calmed down.
"I understand your teaching."
Yue Xiaosi stared at Zhen Rong for a long time, and finally sighed.
If it was Yue Qianqiu, he would have climbed up curiously and asked him about the past with Princess Ping'an, so that he would not think that this was a life understanding. In that small villa, that brat did this, so that when he took a break from his busy schedule to see his wife last time, Princess Ping'an mentioned Yue Qianqiu so many times that he was jealous.
But the more Qianqiu is the more Qianqiu, Zhen Rong is Zhen Rong, and he could only comment with regret: "You are so serious, it's really boring!"
Whether it is boring or interesting, on the way, I temporarily put together the guards of Lanling Prince to protect the Lanling Prince to Xinle and realized something. At that time, the escort was next to the carriage and was called to speak when he had nothing to do, but he was just a young man who rode a slave. Even though he was once a member of the Southern Dynasty mission, he was very appreciated by Lanling Prince and could not be messed with!
When we returned to the current realization of the new music of the emperor's temporary palace, the difference between people immediately appeared. Xiao Changgong was a person who had been used to entering and leaving the palace. Zhen Rong had fought with bears with bare hands in front of the emperor, and had escaped his life and was sent to be a cavalry slave. He did not have much fear of the emperor, but the guards from Yanzi City were different.
Especially when they found that the industry in Xinle City had been martial law. Apart from the empty streets, there was no one who saw a solemn atmosphere from top to bottom. They unknowingly shrunk a little more. Especially when they arrived at the gate of the temporary palace, a large number of soldiers surrounded them, and even a timid sergeant fell directly from the horse's back!
Yue Xiaosi was very calm, leaned out of the carriage and asked, "What is this for? Is it the emperor who has the will to say that I am plotting rebellion or rebellion, and that I want to mobilize all my troops in this way?"
Those who are familiar with him will naturally realize that this is a joke, but they are not familiar. At this moment, I feel horrified when I hear it. At least, the soldier who had been desperately trying to climb onto the horse again after falling to the ground couldn't help but shout: "We are just ordered to follow the Prince of Lanling to come back, and we don't know anything!"
Some people started, and naturally some people followed suit. For a moment, in the eyes of outsiders, the guards of the Prince of Lanling Xiao Changgong were completely in chaos. However, there were still a few who were not so easy to panic. They found that Zhen Rong and the two guards on the left and right were calm, and Xiao Changgong simply retracted back into the car. Unlike those who drew a clear line, they hurriedly moved closer.
The soldiers just surrounded everyone and did not react much to the small riot. Soon, a general with armor inside came out and heard the news. He saluted directly in front of the carriage, and then said in a deep voice: "Prince, please forgive me, because there was an incredible news just now, the emperor's vigilance inside and outside the palace was doubled."
"Ha, so that's it. I thought I had committed a crime!" Yue Xiaosi had just got out of the carriage this time. After landing, he glanced at the pale-faced accompanying guards and pointed at the humans, saying, "See, this is what the local civil and military officials forced me when I set out from Yanzi City. I just thought that something happened to me, just like a dead person."
"Just looking at this cowardly and afraid of trouble, you can know how Wu Rong led his troops!"
Although this is extremely mean, no one dared to refute the soldiers who had realized that they had made a big mistake. In their opinion, in this place closest to Emperor Beiyan, the Prince of Lanling might have lost all their heads with just one word. And the next sentence by Xiao Changgong made them feel relieved.
"For the sake of the bellows, I don't care about you. I just wanted to clear myself from me, so I will go back to Swallow City and disappear immediately!"
With the acquiescent general who temporarily pulled a team of elite soldiers to act as the emperor's personal army, Yue Xiaosi drove away a group of big-headed soldiers who were annoyed when they were angry, but left a few winks. After all, he was only two guards and Zhen Rong around him, which was completely ineffective. At this time, he asked what happened, and the answer he got was completely surprised!
"King of Jin Xiao Jing first sent someone to deliver the letter. He defected to Dawu with the people from the Southern Dynasty!"
Xiao Jingxian suddenly became so high-profile?
Yue Xiaosi, who was still thinking about clearing the traces of people, felt a little caught off guard. Finally, he still remembered the most important point and asked, "Where is the person?"
"The emperor cursed after receiving the letter. As for Jin... where Xiao Jing arrived first, whether the letter stated it. The emperor did not say it, and the last general did not know."
Seeing that the general looked at him with a subtle expression, Yue Xiaosi immediately remembered his current role.
He, the temporary number one figure in the Qiushousi Department, was rushed to Yanzi City by the emperor to investigate the matter between Princess Huoshan Xiao Qingqing and Wu Rong, the captain of Wuwei. Qiushousi Department was slow to react because of the great purge. Who can find out the traces of Xiao Jingxian?
