Dear friends, the second watch is coming, good night :)

*******************

Everyone walked like a fly, and soon they arrived at the river.

There happened to be a boat ready to go to the other side of the river, and they immediately got on board.

On the other side of the shore is Zhangziwan.

When they got ashore, Yan Jinxuan took them to buy horses.

"Lord Yan, why are you so familiar with this place? Have you been here before? Shen Zhigang asked.

"I hadn't been here before, but I used to ask the locals to draw me a topographical map of the area whenever I went to a place, so I knew a rough idea." Yan Jinxuan replied as he walked.

"That's a good trick, we'll learn it next time." Shen Zhigang said with a smile.

The horses were quickly bought, and the group continued on their way.

After rushing forward for nearly a hundred miles from Zhangziwan, Yan Jinxuan abandoned the road in front of him and chose a path that is rarely taken by ordinary people.

This is a more secluded road that can get to Qizhou faster.

While walking, Yan Jinxuan suddenly remembered the identity of the entourage who was a little familiar - he was the entourage of the second prince. Yan Jinxuan had met him twice in the palace: once in the garden, once on the edge of the royal racecourse, and on both occasions he followed behind the second prince.

Although this man wore a short beard this time, his silhouette and expression did not change much. Therefore, it is not difficult to be recognized by Yan Jinxuan.

He must have come with it this time, presumably it was also the will of the second prince.

Yan Jinxuan instantly understood that this holy decree was not really a holy decree, and the Qizhou Zhulong River did not really have a flood. They were just trying to lure him out and kill him in secret.

So they don't need to go any further.

Then, within a few days, the second prince and Yan Shichong will send someone to Qizhou to assassinate him. Since he didn't go back, their plans to assassinate him in the area would have failed, but they would definitely have sent someone to hunt him down.

If he rushes back to the palace now and reports them to the emperor......

He could have returned to the palace before the false messenger.

However, the second prince is the emperor's precious son, what if the emperor suddenly has a selfish heart and kills him in turn?

This is not impossible, because the second prince's move is not the same as the situation of the crown prince back then. The crown prince was imprisoned for life in a fit of anger because he asked someone to perform witchcraft on the emperor, but the second prince united with Yan Shichong to kill a minister.

The second prince did not show any unfavorable actions against the emperor in this operation, so even if the emperor knew that the holy decree was fake, he might not behead the second prince.

Do you still need to take this risk?

Yan Jinxuan struggled a little.

Su Shanyun's smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Forget it, don't take the risk. He said to himself.

He still wants to save his life to live with her.

"Stop." Yan Jinxuan raised his hand and gestured.

The people hurriedly reined in their horses. A curious look on his face.

"The holy decree is fake, we don't need to rush to Qizhou anymore." Yan Jinxuan said.

"Then should we go back to the capital immediately?" Shen Zhigang hurriedly asked.

"No, go back to Chengtian Mansion first, as if nothing happened." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.

"Yes." The crowd immediately turned their horses' heads.

However. Yan Jinxuan knew very well in his heart that this was impossible, and nothing happened. This is especially true of him. He knows. From today onwards, both Yan Shichong and the Second Prince will use all means to kill him, because his presence has formed a life-and-death threat to them.

If it's possible. They won't let him go back to the capital alive.

This is a fact that he has to face.

When the group was about to arrive at the hotel, Yan Jinxuan said to Shen Zhigang: "You go back quietly first to see the situation." ”

"Yes." Shen Zhigang immediately jumped off his horse and went to the hotel.

After a while, Shen Zhigang came back and said, "My lord, they are all gone." ”

"Uh-huh, let's go, we'll check in at the Rick Hotel." Yan Jinxuan said.

The Rick Lodge was located diagonally across from the hotel where they were previously staying.

Yan Jinxuan chose to live here out of safety and didn't want to drag Long Qingyun down.

Everyone understood what he meant, so they followed him to the Rick Hotel without asking anything.

After settling the things, Yan Jinxuan asked Shen Zhigang to go outside and order a set of bulletproof armor and an iron helmet for him.

Yan Jinxuan knew very well - in the future, he might have to wear them when he went to bed.

In the evening of the same day, Long Qingyun, who had returned from the excavation site, immediately went to the Ruike Hotel after learning the news that Yan Jinxuan had returned.

"It's good that you come back safely, no matter what, we'll be careful in the future." Long Qingyun said.

"Well, the work is going well, right?" Yan Jinxuan asked.

"Everything's fine."

"Lord Zhang and Lord Lu didn't ask anything, did they?"

"Yes, they asked me if you wanted to rush back to the capital, and I said yes. Didn't say anything else. ”

"Mm-hmm, try not to tell them about the affairs of the court."

"Yes."

Yan Jinxuan rubbed his forehead and reclined down on the back chair.

After a long day of running, he felt a little tired.

"My lord, would you like to have some drink?" Long Qingyun asked.

Yan Jinxuan shook his head.

He was going to stay alcohol-free for the rest of his life.

……………………

But he said that the fake minister was also quite worried when he led a group of people back to the capital.

First, he didn't find any trace of Yan Jinxuan and his party, and secondly, he was worried that Yan Jinxuan would go back to the capital before him to complain.

If Yan Jinxuan really goes back to complain, he will be finished. So in order to speed up his return to Beijing, he was even in a hurry at night.

Worried that Yan Jinxuan would send someone to attack, they walked extremely carefully all the way.

They traveled for five days and five nights, and finally returned to the capital.

The fake messenger hurried to see the second prince.

After listening to his story, the second prince was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

"He must have seen through our actions." The second prince gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, so the most important thing for us at the moment is to send someone to Qizhou to do an ambush, and he should also get there in this day or two." That false Chin Cha said.

The second prince slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Is your brain made of tofu?" Since he already had some doubts, he definitely wouldn't go to Qizhou rashly. What he said earlier was nothing but a perfunctory gesture to you. ”

The fake Chin Cha suddenly did not dare to speak again.

The second prince shook his head, waved at him helplessly, and said, "You go down." ”

"Yes." The man fled as if he had fled.

However, not long after he walked out, the second prince said to the two attendants beside him: "Follow him immediately, and get rid of him when there is no one outside." ”

The two attendants took the order.

The second prince immediately sent thirty people to secretly rush to Chengtian Mansion to assassinate Yan Jinxuan.

In any case, he must not be given the opportunity to complain to his father, the second prince said to himself secretly. (To be continued.) )
