On the official road from Chang'an to Shendu, the flag is hunting, the honor guard is bright, and a huge team is resting.

The conditions in the wilderness were simple, and these dignitaries had to sit in the open space in the center for a while to discuss the itinerary.

The one who initiated this request was Zhang Yizhi, a local official.

"The death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to the general situation of the country, how can we slack off when we are waiting for the edict to preside over the funeral?" Zhang Yizhi's face was a little angry, "The two capitals are separated by seven hundred miles, the sun rises and the sun sets, and the daily walk is not more than a hundred miles, it is too scattered, it is against His Majesty's mourning heart, and the lower officials think it is absolutely undesirable."

He said it impassionedly, and he also said threats, but he couldn't bluff the few people here, Ouyang Tong and Wei Juyuan have been through the wind and waves for a long time, and they are full of hearts, Xie Yaohuan has grown up in the deep palace and by the side of the martial queen since he was a child, where can he not see that he is in a hurry to return to the divine capital, and in the absence of Li Xian's death, he will strive to push his niece and son-in-law Li Chongfu, even if he can't be in the East Palace, he must grab a part of the benefits and eat personal blood steamed buns.

However, to say this in front of these people, it is the wrong object, Ouyang Tong is the person of Quan Ce, even if Quan Ce is not in the Shendu, there are also Xinyang Wang Wu Chongmin, Princess Taiping and Princess Qianjin and others, there is enough to be the first to react, advance and retreat, Wei Juyuan is even more so, his master Princess Anle Li Bao'er is in the Shendu, whether he goes or not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The two started an embarrassing performance, Ouyang Tong suddenly cared about his appearance, slowly tidied up his clothes, and avoided the barren grass and mud under his feet, while Wei Juyuan covered his stomach, frowned deeply, and vomited once or twice from time to time, as if he had eaten his stomach.

Zhang Yizhi's face turned black as the bottom of the pot, but both of them were prime ministers, and their positions were higher than him, even if they were cunning, he had no choice, turned his head to look at Xie Yaohuan, and asked, "Xie Niangzi, I don't know what you think?" ”

He was full of hope, but also a little apprehensive, this was his only remaining life-saving straw, counting on Xie Yaohuan to see the incense of the people around the same Empress Wu and help him.

Xie Yaohuan's eyes flashed with a different color, so he hesitated in embarrassment, and said calmly, "The two prime ministers, please forgive Yaohuan for being rude, spread out, the two of you and the two of us are not exactly the same, some things will change later, and it is not appropriate to postpone, but the two prime ministers are old and impatient, and it is most appropriate for the two sides to go their separate ways."

"Zhang Shilang and I sneaked to the Shendu, and did not show up in public, after the two prime ministers arrived, we will treat the funeral of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, I don't know what the two prime ministers think?"

Ouyang Tong and Wei Juyuan glanced at each other, Zhang Yizhi and Xie Yaohuan had the same idea, and gave the steps, and it was inconvenient to continue to block it, and pushed the boat down the river, "Since Your Majesty has other orders, the two of you can do your own thing, Xie Niangzi is very well assigned."

"In this way, don't leave it at that" Zhang Yizhi was overjoyed and impatient, and together with Xie Yaohuan, he turned around and got on the horse, urged the horses, and galloped away with the entourage.

As soon as the hatchbacks are separated, you can see the problem.

Ouyang Tong and the two of them are all officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, with uniform colors, each with its own function, and different ages, like them, there is no spirit.

And Zhang Yizhi and Xie Yaohuan led them to be strong men, wearing most of them in strong clothes, but the styles and colors were mixed, galloping on horses, wanton and wanton, shouting and drinking, without official prestige.

Running all the way, the sun sets, the sky is dark, and it doesn't stop, until it gets dark, and he can't see his five fingers, Zhang Yizhi also plans to hurry with a torch.

This time, Xie Yaohuan sternly refused.

"Xie Niangzi, without further ado......" Zhang Yizhi was so anxious that he went to the house, and before he could open his mouth to persuade, he saw Xie Yaohuan's ice cube face that had not changed for thousands of years, and there was no trace of loosening, so he took a step back, "It's good to rest, tomorrow morning, there will be ...... daylight."

Xie Yaohuan didn't know how to listen to his command, so he left directly, and after waiting for a long time, the carriage that fell behind followed and stepped onto the carriage.

There was also a palace maid in military costume next to her, who placed the stove fire, cooked the fragrant meal, and sent it up, and then boiled hot water, sprinkled flower petals, carried the bath bucket onto the carriage, and circled the carriage twice, escorting Xie Yaohuan to bathe.

Not far away, Zhang Yizhi sat on the ground, chewing dry Hu cakes, looking at the flowing water here, he was quite impatient, and his eyes were white-eyed, "Women's Taoist people, it's trouble, in such an emergency, how much can you do?" ”

The next day, there was a warrior from Fengchen Mansion who woke up Zhang Yizhi, the cold dew was heavy in the early morning, Zhang Yizhi shrank into a ball early, opened his eyes, shuddered, wiped his face, refreshed himself, turned over, "Go, inform Xie Niangzi, and leave in a quarter of an hour"

There was a samurai who obeyed the order, but when he came back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Xie Yaohuan's subordinates were not allowed to get close, he wanted to break in, and he was beaten by an old fist, and the other party also threatened that if he dared to be presumptuous, he would take his life.

Hearing the samurai's howl, Zhang Yizhi's eyelids jumped and kicked him away, "Mourning, get out of the way"

He personally came to the vicinity of Xie Yaohuan's station, he didn't see it clearly last night, but now he sees it clearly, and the only hazy pajamas left are gone.

The protection here is like plum petals, taking advantage of the hilly terrain, the sentry posts are moving and quiet, high and low, each other is horns, Xie Yaohuan's carriage is in the leeward of the low mountain, and it is in the center of the position.

In the wilderness, there are no tents and fences, but they are like heavily guarded military camps.

"Announcement, this official wants to meet Xie Niangzi" Zhang Yizhi straightened his back, and heaved in his heart, it is really a woman's family, that is, she loves to show off, for fear that others will not know that you are receiving a plum blossom internal guard?

The big man on the side of the road went inside, and after a while, a palace maid in military costume came out, "Zhang Shilang, my lady rests every day, there is a fixed number, less than four hours, she doesn't get up, it's still early, please don't disturb."

"Four hours?" Zhang Yizhi stretched out four fingers in disbelief.

The palace maid in uniform and the people next to him all looked at him indifferently, and they didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Zhang Yizhi was helpless, and waited for another hour and a half before Xie Yaohuan got up, not waiting for him to be happy, and the palace maids in military costumes were busy again, bathing, changing clothes, and having breakfast, tossing for a full hour.

Zhang Yizhi was no longer able to say anything, but when he was in a hurry, he was desperately riding his horse and whipping, thinking about making up for it, but Xie Yaohuan had no opinion on this, and he never fell behind.

It's just that at noon, they tossed and rested for another round, like going back and forth, although the speed of the journey was extremely fast, but the delay time was more, faster than Ouyang Tong and them in the back, but it was also very limited.

Another day later, when he arrived at the local town, Xie Yaohuan wanted to go into the city to buy supplies.

Zhang Yizhi really couldn't afford to provoke her, so he couldn't bear it, so he simply parted ways with her.

Xie Yaohuan smiled, looked at Zhang Yizhi's crazy figure, and muttered in a low voice, "If it weren't for Lang Jun's kindness, I wouldn't want Your Majesty to be too sad, and I would have taken your life."

"Commander, are you still in the city?" The guard next to him asked.

"What are you doing in the city?" Xie Yaohuan's eyebrows stood up, her attention was just a show, forcing Zhang Yizhi to act alone, where to take it seriously, "Set off quickly, hurry up, go ahead of Zhang Yi, and quickly contact Chongmin Langjun and General Hou"

"Yes," the subordinates responded awe-inspiringly.
