Hurry up, and the two return to the military camp.

Li Ke's eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept since last night, and he was overjoyed to see Qin Mubai and Chen Yan arriving together.

"Chen Yan, ...... you" Li Ke looked at Chen Yan and didn't know how to ask for a while.

"Your Highness doesn't need to ask me, he knows anyway." Chen Yan raised her chin and motioned to Qin Mubai, and said lightly.

"This woman is really as cold as frost...... Li Ke sighed in his heart, and he didn't want to be bored with her, so he went to ask Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai explained the matter to Li Ke without missing anything, and showed him the account book.

"As expected, it's really the king of Jiangxia! ......" Li Ke was stunned for a long time, and suddenly woke up and said, "Mu Bai, calculate the time, the emperor's reply should be almost here, right?" ”

"Not bad!" Qin Mubai said, "My secret music has been sent out for four days, and three days of round trip is enough, if Your Majesty decides to cut through the mess quickly, he should have already issued an approval document at this time, maybe the emperor is already on the way." ”

"That can't wait any longer!" Li Ke immediately said decisively, "Go see King Jiangxia immediately!" ”

"Does Your Highness want to inform King Jiangxia of this matter in advance?" Qin Mubai said, "Jinzhou is about 100 miles away from here, and you can reach it in the afternoon." But how are you lacking in the overall situation now? ”

"Then you go! You go with Chen Yan! Li Ke waved his hand and said decisively, "You know the twists and turns of the matter better than me!" Seeing that King Jiangxia only said that I invited you to go, I explained one thing - please take the initiative to admit this matter to his father and the emperor, and go to bear the guilt! Only in this way can we turn big things into small things! Otherwise, if the father is angry, he will investigate deeply...... It's hard to say how big or small this crime is! ”

"I see, I'll leave right away!" Qin Mubai clenched his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, if the emperor comes, you have to find a way to hold them back, at least give us three days!" ”

"Don't worry! Without further ado, I have to work hard for you. Li Ke said, "Let's leave for Jinju immediately, here in Jishan, everything has me!" ”

"Okay, farewell!"

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan both left the royal tent, called a few elite hundred horsemen, and immediately set off for Jinzhou.

Riding on the horse, Qin Mubai felt a little sleepy. I've been so tired in the last few days that I haven't slept a single night.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, is the number one person in the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty, and his mansion is naturally easy to find.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Mubai and his entourage rushed to Jinzhou City. Without a moment of rest, they dragged their tired bodies on empty stomachs and stood in front of the gate of Jiangxia Palace.

"It's finally here!" Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that time was everything and that every second counted. If you wait for the emperor's imperial decree to be issued first, it will be completely passive. If King Jiangxia is implicated because of this, it must be a big case that will shock the government and the opposition, and it will become more and more out of control at that time.

In a small Jishan County, a seemingly ordinary flood involved the crown prince and the king of Jiangxia, which was really unexpected by Qin Mubai. At first, he just thought that Li Shimin wanted to investigate a few corrupt officials and rectify the rule of officials, but he didn't expect it to be such a big case.

Qin Mubai asked the pawns to wait at the inn, and he and Chen Yan went to pay a visit. After announcing their names, the two were directly invited in and did not stand outside for a moment.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, as the prince of the clan and the founder of the Tang Dynasty, has always been approachable and never messes around. The gate of his mansion is the best to enter, and even the commoners can go straight to the inside if they have any requests, and it is a good story in the Jin and Jin areas.

Luckily, King Jiangxia is still in the mansion. Under the plane tree in the back garden, he was dancing a sword alone.

The two of them were led here by the housekeeper in the house, and they saw a vigorous figure dancing between the flowers and leaves of the autumn breeze from a distance, and the sword light was cold and secretly revealing the killing machine.

This is the invincible Jiangxia King back then!

He is only about forty years old, dressed in a simple gray dress, and his hair is simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. If it weren't for knowing that he was Li Daozong, no one would believe that he was the world-famous Jiangxia King.

The two stopped to watch Li Daozong's sword dance, and they did not rush forward to disturb.

"How is King Jiangxia's swordsmanship better than yours?" Qin Mubai asked Chen Yan.

"Incomparable." Chen Yan said, "The sword of the Jiangxia King is the sword of the hegemon, emphasizing the meaning but not the form, not seeking to compare the length of a skill with others, but it is not easy to find out the mystery, and the sword moves are exquisite and long, as if there are countless afterstrokes." It's hard to see. And my sword rule is simply to win, and nothing else. In contrast, King Jiangxia is like a pool of unfathomable water, and I am a stream by the pond with an unobstructed view. ”

"Your statement coincides with me." Qin Mubai said, "I don't think King Jiangxia is practicing swords, but more like strategizing and commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight. These swordsmanship of his are all very practical killing tricks on the battlefield. He was born in Rongwu in his early years, and often took the lead in bloody battles. Fight must be ke, and gram must be fruitful. With him, it is like a banner in the army, which can inspire all soldiers to move forward bravely and never flinch. His swordsmanship is like a totem, which melts his spirit and temperament. Thousands of armies will always move forward, invincible and intimidating! ”

At this time, Li Daozong finished practicing his sword, and the servants stepped forward to report that a guest had visited. Li Daozong casually inserted the sword into the sheath, and then strode towards the two of them, laughing from a distance: "I haven't seen any distinguished guests in this king's mansion for many days, where did the two of you come from?" ”

"Qin Mou pays a visit to King Jiangxia!" Qin Mubai hugged him. Chen Yan also gave a slight salute but did not say anything.

Li Daozong, with an extraordinary appearance like a purple begonia, a burly and tall figure, the first impression gives people a feeling of unrestrained heroism, but his facial features are a little handsome and elegant, not like the kind of reckless man who is five big and three thick.

No wonder the young Rencheng King Li Daozong was difficult to be popular all over the world, in addition to his great military exploits and many legends, he himself was also a handsome and chic beautiful man. Now about forty years old, the maturity, introverted and wisdom of a man are perfectly integrated into him, forming a unique charm.

"Li Daozong, it really feels like Li Shimin, the charm of the two of them is unfathomable...... Qin Mubai couldn't help but secretly surprised, "The difference is that Li Shimin has the prestige of dominating the world, while Li Daozong is even more approachable." ”

"Qin?" When Li Daozong heard Qin Mubai's special self-title, he knew that he was unwilling to openly reveal his identity, so he must have some scruples. He couldn't help but smile to himself, "Okay, Neitang speaks." ”

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan followed King Jiangxia to a quiet room in his palace, dismissed the subordinates, and the three of them sat separately.

"What do you two have to say, can you talk about it now?" Li Daozong asked with a smile.

"Please forgive the prince for the sin of disrespect." Qin Mubai clenched his fists and gave a salute, "The humble position is the emperor's majesty's imperial envoy, Qin Mubai." ”

"What, you are Qin Mubai?" Li Daozong was slightly surprised, twisted his brows, looked at Qin Mubai and looked up and down intently, "Shubao's third son, Qin Liang and Qin Mubai?" ”

"It's a lowly position!"

"Yes, it's you!" Li Daozong nodded again and again, as if he was still a little surprised, "I saw you several times when you were a child, but I didn't expect you to grow up after many years, and become the hottest hundred horsemen at present!" I have long heard the name of Qin Mubai, the envoy of the hundred horses, but I have never seen you because I have been to the capital for the past two years. This time I saw it with my own eyes. Tell me, what is the matter with coming to this king? ”

Qin Mubai twisted his brows slightly, took out the account book from his arms and stepped forward: "Just ask the prince to take a look at such a thing first." ”

"Okay." Li Daozong stretched out his hand and picked up a few pages casually, with a mysterious smile on his face, casually threw the account book on the table, and said, "Then why did you come here today?" ”

"Lord, there was a sudden flood in Jishan, and His Majesty the Emperor sent a lowly assistant to King Wu to come to relieve the people, and secretly investigate the ins and outs of the embankment construction funds." Qin Mubai said, "This account book is the important evidence left by Jishan County Ling Zhu Chengwen before he died. Among them, several income and expenditure related to the prince were recorded. ”

"Then you judged me to be corrupt and bribe-taking, and came to take people?" Li Daozong still smiled as if chatting, and said leisurely and leisurely.

"It's not." Qin Mubai said, "If you want to take people, you won't appear in front of the prince like this." ”

"This king understands." Li Daozong stood up with the account book, slowly walked in front of Qin Mubai and said to him, "Then you are here to report to this king?" ”

After that, Li Daozong threw the account book on the table in front of Qin Mubai lightly.

Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows slightly: "If the prince wants to say so, then it will be the same." ”

"Why? Did Li Ke call you here, or was it your idea alone? ”

"Both. We all think that the prince is innocent and suffered, and he was calculated by Zhang Tianci's villains. Qin Mubai said, "What King Wu means is to ask the prince to take the initiative to confess this matter to His Majesty the Emperor in order to ask for forgiveness." Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives makes a fuss here, it will get bigger and bigger...... The stakes in this are naturally clearer than those of the lowly position, and there is no need to elaborate on the lowly position. ”

"Ridiculous! This King and His Majesty the Emperor are brothers, Your Majesty trusts me the most, and I have done my best to My Majesty. There is no stake between us kings and ministers. Li Daozong suddenly said a little angrily, "Qin Mubai, the kindness of you and Li Ke is appreciated by this king. But this king will certainly be fine, and you will do whatever you want. There is no need to break the law because of this king. If this king really commits a traitor and violates the law, you can come to investigate or directly arrest and go to the emperor, and this is fine. Although you have good intentions, this king cannot appreciate it. Let's go! ”

"......" Qin Mubai was stunned, and looked up at Li Daozong blankly and confusedly.

Li Daozong turned around and paced slowly with his hands on his back, as if he was strolling leisurely in his chest.

How could he have such a reaction?

Qin Mubai was really a little stunned for a while!

"Not leaving?" Li Daozong said with a slight hint of sternness.

"Humble resignation!" Qin Mubai couldn't figure out what to do for a while, so he had to get up and fold his fists in prayer.

"Take the account books!" Li Daozong said as if very casually.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a slight light in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Doesn't the prince want to see more clearly?" ”

"This king is already familiar with his chest, so why bother looking at it again?"

Li Daozong threw down this sentence, which made Qin Mubai surprised inexplicably!
