Volume 1 Chujing Fengyun 005: Departure back to Beijing
The night is thick.
A carrier pigeon shuttles over a piece of Qionglou Yuyu before landing outside a palatial and well-guarded palace.
"Goo・・・・・・ goo!"
A black shadow flashed in, took off the small bamboo tube from its feet, and disappeared in an instant.
In the hall, there is only one lamp flickering, and the whole palace is extremely dim.
A majestic female voice slowly sounded, "Failed?"
I can't hear the joys and sorrows of those who speak.
A respectful voice replied, "Hui Niangniang, I could have succeeded, but I was rescued, and our people didn't come back!"
Nearly 200 secret guards were dispatched, but none of them survived, which is a great shame for them.
And the other party died only a dozen royal guards of the palace, as if there was no loss, and none of the henchmen around him died.
The slow voice was full of doubts, "Who saved him?" dared to ruin her good deeds!
Damn it!
"They're investigating!" However, such a hidden place is under the jurisdiction of Gusu City, and it is difficult to find out the details there.
"What about tokens?" and that's all that matters.
"It's gone!"|
"A bunch of waste!" the woman scolded, "Send someone to find that token immediately, it must not fall into Rong Zhi's hands, and the person who saved him will also be removed!"
"Yes!"

Chu State Liangzhou City Post House.
Liangzhou belongs to the Chu State, is the northernmost city of the Chu State, and is also one of the important frontiers of the Chu State.
In the past few days, the regent has come in person, and without saying a word, he has to inspect the border guards, which makes people panic.
Who is the Regent?
The real master of today's Chu State, sixteen-year-old regent, in just two years, he cleaned up the tumor of the imperial court, and also strengthened the national strength of Chu, at the age of eighteen, he set foot in southern Xinjiang, many tribes in southern Xinjiang perished, the royal family did not have a living mouth, completely smashed the hidden dangers in the south of Chu, four years ago there was a war with Wei, the regent went to war, and actually took the head of the prince of Wei in one fell swoop, and the four princes were also seriously injured, and the Wei ** team was beaten to the ground, so that Wei had to send the princess and relatives, so that it was good, the means were ruthless, and there was no humanity.
He has a mysterious army under his command, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, called the Iron Horse, but this army is just a legend, even if it fought with the southern Xinjiang back then, it was just an ordinary army.
Such an identity should be the most feared by the emperor, but now the emperor is frail and sickly, and the regent is a mother's compatriot, as soon as he ascended the throne, the first edict was to crown the then only sixteen-year-old Ling Wang as the regent, and then ignore the government, and now, seven years of monopoly, the regent has too many reasons to be afraid.
It is rumored that the regent is handsome and beautiful, but he is not close to women, and now he is twenty-three years old, but he has not yet married a wife, and he has not even had a concubine.
The Queen Mother sympathized with her young son and has not married a wife so far, and gave a large number of peerless beauties of Chu State, but none of them survived, and it is said that they were all rewarded by the regent to the soldiers in the army.
No one in the court dared to oppose him, even as the maiden family of the queen mother and the queen of the dynasty, his maternal grandfather family, he did not show mercy, just half a year ago, he personally ended the second son of the Yuan family, just because his cousin offended him.
provoked the Yuan family to be angry about this.
Therefore, only the regent came here to inspect military affairs, which made the people of Liangzhou Taishou and the leaders of the Liangzhou army tremble in the battle.
He is not even afraid of his maternal ancestral family, if these petty officials are on a business trip, wouldn't it be the Nine Clans?
The inn was full of royal guards.
In a room that is not rich but elegant, a man stands motionless under the windowsill.
Wearing an ink-colored brocade robe on his body, wearing a crown on his head, his facial features are extremely handsome, under the sword eyebrows, a pair of narrow eyes are obscure and deep, under the high nose, thin lips are pursed, even if he is standing, he can give people an invisible oppression and that innate majesty.
With his hand in front of him, he slowly pulled the jade wrench on his thumb, put one hand on the mahogany table under the windowsill, tapped the tabletop, and stood in front of the windowsill with a long posture, looking out silently.
A man in a dark robe walked in and bowed respectfully, "Lord Wang!"
This person is the number one general under Rong Zhi, that is, the leading general of the legendary Iron Horseman, Situ Zhong!
The man's face did not change, and his thin lips opened slightly, "Say!"
"Lord Qiqi, you have interfered with the investigation of your subordinates, the closed guest villa was ignited early this morning, and now I am afraid that only the ruins remain, the people in the villa are nowhere to be found, and the subordinates are incompetent, and they have not been able to find out the whereabouts of those people!"
Hearing this, Rong Zhi's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, turned to look at him, and Situ Zhong immediately lowered his head.
Who knew that Rong Zhi did not show the slightest displeasure, but still said indifferently, "Continue to investigate, and prepare to return to Beijing!"
Situ Zhong received the order with a stiff face, "My subordinates will go and prepare!"
Turning to exit, the room continued to be silent.
Rong Zhi's thoughts changed, and he pondered for a while, and then strode out of the room.
A carriage was running wildly on the official road, looking an ordinary carriage, and two people were sitting in front of the car.
The people who drove were Mo Li and Mo Yan, even if the two women were driving, the carriage had gone a long way steadily.
I left the villa at dawn, and now it was dusk, and it never stopped for a whole day.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Mo Li pulled the reins, lifted the curtain of the carriage and twisted his eyebrows, "Master, it's getting late, it's not safe to travel at night, and you've been bumpy for a day, it's better to find a place to rest overnight and leave tomorrow!"
If you go on this way, the horse will be tired to death.
The light inside the curtain is excellent, there is a night pearl at the top of the middle of the carriage illuminating the entire carriage, Lou Yueqing is holding a book reading, being reminded by Mo Li, but only then did she react, opened the other curtain next to her and looked at it, and smiled, "It's really not early, find a nearby town, stay for one night first, and leave tomorrow, if there is no accident, we should be able to arrive in Handzhou tomorrow, we will wait for the big brother there!"
Today, even if the carriage runs for one day, it will only walk nearly a hundred miles, and I am afraid that it will take another five or six days to travel from Chujing, but the eldest brother will set off from Chujing, and he must be a fast horse, and now he is afraid that he has already walked almost five hundred miles, and he will arrive in Handzhou in less than two days at most.
They just need to go back there before the eldest brother arrives in Handzhou.
"Yes!"
Mo Li continued to drive.
Sure enough, I finally arrived at a county before dark, although it was not as prosperous as the city, but it was enough to settle down.
The carriage stopped at the door of an inn, put on a veil and a gauze hat on herself, blocking all her faces, and Lou Yueqing got out of the carriage and walked to the inn.
Seeing three girls walk in, two fresh and beautiful, and a woman who couldn't see her whole body except for her hands, the shopkeeper was busy asking, "Are the three girls sharp-eyed or staying in the hotel?"
Mo Li said lightly, "Shopkeeper, bring us an upper room!"
The shopkeeper was stunned, and there was only one room for three people?
Lou Yueqing spoke after Mo Li, "Three!"
