Chapter 289: Walking too much at night
"This was originally their own sin, what does it have to do with you?" Su Heng looked at Su Qing: "In the future, you have to take care of your sister-in-law for me, and leave other things to your eldest brother." ”
"Don't worry, as long as you need my help, you will be on call. ”
Looking at the back of Su Heng riding away on horseback, Su Qing vaguely thought of the scene of galloping horses with Xiao Jingchen in the barracks racecourse that day.
I don't know where he's now, has he had any trouble on the way?
Xiao Jingchen suddenly felt a sore itch in his nasal cavity at this time, and sneezed violently, and his body suddenly became much more refreshed.
Xiao Jue came in from outside, holding a bowl of black decoction in his hand: "Lord Wang, it's time to take medicine." ”
Nothing happened all the way before, but now he is temporarily settled in Guangling City, but Xiao Jingchen suddenly contracted a cold and burned for a day and a night.
"Don't eat. Smelling the bitter smell of the decoction, Xiao Jingchen frowned and refused to take the medicine.
"Lord Wang, you have been sick for three days, how can you get better without taking medicine? If you let the princess know, she will definitely feel distressed. ”
Every time Xiao Jingchen refused to take medicine, Xiao Jue had to move Su Qing out as a shield, but this time Xiao Jingchen seemed to have made up his mind and refused to take medicine.
"Any news?"
"Recently, the capital has been peaceful, by the way, the eldest young master of the Su family just finished his marriage yesterday and married Princess Ronghua, and I heard that the whole capital has been lively. ”
Xiao Jue put the medicine bowl aside, thinking about how the princess had asked the princess to take the medicine obediently.
"Has Nan Dinghou gone?"#@$&
"Nope. Xiao Jue shook his head: "But he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift." ”
Xiao Jingchen frowned, although Su Mingyuan was the prime minister, he was now on the edge because he was on the wrong side.
No matter how good Nan Dinghou is, he will not win over the people on the original prince's side now, so why should he send a congratulatory gift to the Su family again?
Or maybe he knew the relationship between the Su family and the Zhanwang Mansion, so he deliberately made such a scene to show him.
"By the way, Lord Wang, two acquaintances came to our post station early this morning. Xiao Jue seemed to remember something. %&(&
Xiao Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "Acquaintance?"
"The prince took the medicine, and I will tell you who they are. Xiao Jue took the opportunity to hand over the medicine bowl, this trick was learned from Su Qing.
Sure enough, although Xiao Jingchen was reluctant, he still took the medicine bowl, the decoction was about to be cold, he frowned and drank it in one go.
Xiao Jue hurriedly handed him clean tea and asked him to rinse his mouth, he coughed a few times in his throat before he recovered, and his pale face became a little bloody.
Say. ”
"It's Prime Minister Su's wife, and the crown princess. ”
Xiao Jue's answer made Xiao Jingchen a little unexpected, and he twisted his eyebrows: "It's just the two of them?"
"Yes, and sneaky, dressed up in disguise, I've seen them a few times, and I won't admit it. ”
"Where are they now?" The Su family had just married a princess, and it was not at all reasonable for the mother and daughter to come here in a panic.
"Originally, this post station was chartered by us, and the shopkeeper didn't let them come in to live, so I went to say hello, and people already watched them. ”
As soon as Xiao Jue saw Liu and Su Ying appear in Guangling City, he felt that something was wrong, and he had already made arrangements.
"Send someone to keep an eye on them for the time being, and you can go back to the capital with me tonight. Xiao Jingchen felt a little tired after taking the medicine, and after speaking, he closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
Xiao Jue was slightly stunned, but he only had the share of the decision made by the prince.
It's just that if you venture into the capital at this juncture, I'm afraid that you will be discovered by the people of Nandinghou, and if you make trouble at that time, all the charges will fall on Xiao Jingchen's head.
The capital at night has a solemn sense of slaughter, and all the city gates are heavily guarded, but Xiao Jingchen is very familiar with this place.
He was soon able to find a gap and slip into the city, and despite the wind chill, it didn't affect his speed.
His own team is still on the way, and he has to make sure that no one in the capital has stolen the beams and changed pillars before he officially fights Nandinghou.
The guards guarding everywhere have changed a group of people, all of them are unfamiliar faces that Xiao Jingchen has never seen, and the patrol team on the streets at night is more dense than before.
He searched around and finally arrived at Pingyang Lake, which is the most prosperous entertainment venue in the capital, although there are still flower boats and music on the lake.
"Send someone to find out who has chartered a flower boat here these days, especially if the action is suspicious. ”
Xiao Jingchen's voice floated faintly in the wind, he received the news that night, Su Qing secretly met with someone here, who was that person?
"Lord Wang, there is no movement in Southern Xinjiang now, if Nanding Marquis really unites Southern Xinjiang, how can there be some rumors now. ”
On the way back, Xiao Jingchen asked a few words about southern Xinjiang, which is the most peaceful one for several surrounding countries.
But after all, it borders the territory under the jurisdiction of Nandinghou, Xiao Jingchen is still very uneasy, he must be foolproof, especially not to find out the details of the other party.
Although southern Xinjiang is not rich, but the climate is pleasant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and they made an agreement many years ago that they would not take the initiative to conflict with Daqi.
But now that time has passed, even the Marquis of Nanding, who was once loyal to the royal family, is now ambitious, and Xiao Jingchen has to guard against it.
"Don't withdraw the eyeliner in southern Xinjiang, now the focus is still on the capital, let our team speed up and rush back as soon as possible. ”
After Xiao Jingchen finished speaking, he was about to speed up and leave, but suddenly saw a sneaky figure on the shore of Pingyang Lake, which was originally empty.
Before he could speak, Xiao Jue understood what he meant, and his figure flashed closer to the figure.
You quickly turned back, and there was still a little surprise in her eyes: "Lord Wang, it's Princess Yanran of Xiliang, what is she doing here so late?"
"Send someone to send her back, don't let her make trouble here. Xiao Jingchen frowned, said expressionlessly, turned his head and left.
In an instant, several black shadows jumped out of the darkness and surrounded Murong Yanran, and before she could say a word, they covered her mouth and carried people away.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do with this Princess Xiliang?" Leaving the capital, their carriage was already waiting on the side of the road.
Only then did she feel warm when she got into the carriage, Xiao Jingchen coughed a few times, Xiao Jue boiled hot water for her on the brazier and made a pot of tea, and her expression relaxed a little.
"Wait until you have the opportunity to send her back to Xiliang. ”
"But now that the princess is in the capital, maybe she has already dealt with this princess, in case the two of them ......"
Xiao Jue's words seemed to suddenly remind Xiao Jingchen, and his hand holding the teacup paused, and his pale lips pursed into a straight line.
"Let the team pick up some speed, and they have to be back in three days. ”
