Chapter 569: A Safe Return
A few people exchanged greetings again, and the county guard ordered people to arrange people and horses to send the Nine Princes and Chi Wan to the capital. Chi Wan only hated that the carriage was not going fast enough, and hated that she couldn't drive it herself, and the Ninth Prince saw her urgency and said with relief, "At this speed, we will be able to arrive in Kyoto soon, and you don't have to be too anxious." β
Where can Chi Wan not be in a hurry, speaking of which, since she and Xie Yutang got married, the two of them have not been separated for such a long time, especially when her life and death are uncertain, think about it from another perspective, if Xie Yutang encounters such a situation, she is estimated to be in a hurry to death.
The Nine Princes knew that they couldn't persuade him, so he simply didn't persuade him, and only let the carriage speed up, and the two of them traveled day and night, and compared with the original speed, it was several days faster to arrive in the capital.
And at this time, the people sent by the county guard to tell Xie Yutang had just left.
Besides, here in the capital, since hearing that something happened in the tomb and that the Nine Princes and Chi Wan were missing, Xie Yutang was like a bolt from the blue. Regardless of the opposition of the officials, he insisted on looking for someone, but unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't make the trip, because a bunch of people stopped him and told him with tears in their eyes that if General Xie left at this time, Dongxuanguo would be finished.
Xie Yutang naturally couldn't watch the accident happen to Dongxuanguo, he thought about it again and again, and finally lined up a lot of people to find the two, and he returned to the capital and temporarily acted as the regent.
It's just that this regent is also very uneasy. He thought about Chi Wan day and night, and even decided that if something happened to Chi Wan, he would definitely not live alone.
Even now, there is no definite news from the two, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
The people who were sent out soon returned, and the news brought back was that the tomb was flooded without exception, and according to the current situation of the tomb, no one would definitely survive.
When Xie Yutang heard this, he became angry on the spot, "What are you talking about, shut up for me!" "Although he became a regent, he was never willing to be called me.
It was the first time for everyone to see Xie Yutang so angry, and they didn't dare to speak out.
Xie Yutang didn't give up, "The Ninth Prince is the true dragon emperor, how could something happen to him, you people, have you seriously looked for it?" β
The Nine Princes will not have an accident, then, Chi Wan will definitely not have an accident, Xie Yutang thought so firmly.
Xie Yutang sent people to continue the search, and added more people, some sane ministers, felt that he shouldn't do this, the Nine Princes and Chi Wan must have died.
Xie Yutang fired another fire before he shut up the ministers.
There is no way, now they all rely on Xie Yutang, this country is torn by the King of Chu, and only Xie Yutang has the ability to repair it, they don't want to offend him like this.
Xie Yutang was dealing with political affairs while waiting for news anxiously. He even invited some prestigious Taoists to come over and help with divination to find the traces of the Nine Princes and Chi Wan.
However, even if he put so much effort into it, there was still no news of the two of them.
The ministers of the DPRK and China then asked Xie Yutang to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
"The whereabouts of the Nine Princes are unknown, and as a courtier, he must try his best to find it, how can he replace him." Xie Yutang's righteous words of refusal.
The ministers looked at each other and continued to persuade, but Xie Yutang had already announced that he would go to court.
During the period when the Nine Princes did not come back, in order to deal with official business, he now lives in the palace.
That night, Xie Yutang was busy until midnight before resting, but as soon as he lay down, he saw a person walking to the bed, he took a serious look, and was immediately overjoyed, the person who came was not the Chi Wan he was thinking about.
"Wanwan." Xie Yutang couldn't wait to reach out and pull people.
Chi Wan avoided it, just looked at him with some sadness, Xie Yutang was very panicked, "Wanwan, what's wrong, where have you been all this time, I have been thinking about you, very much." β
Chi Wan said softly and gently, "Yutang, our fate is over in the end, in the future, you take care of yourself." β
Xie Yutang's eyes widened suddenly, "What do you mean?" β
As he was talking, another person came over, and when he took a closer look, it was the Ninth Prince, so he immediately said, "Lord Wang, you have finally come back, the world is yours, you can take it." β
The Nine Princes shook their heads with a smile and walked together with Chi Wan. The picture of the two standing together stung Xie Yutang's eyes, he staggered a step, and muttered, "What's the matter, you two, why are you doing this to me?" β
Chi Wan sighed and said soothingly, "Yutang, I know it's hard for you to accept, but we're all dead, and we can't help you anymore, and we can't accompany you anymore......"
"Impossible!" Before Xie Yutang could finish listening, he screamed, full of horror, how could it be, how could he die? He didn't believe it, they must have lied to him, by the way, the Nine Princes originally liked Wanwan, was he a ghost?
Xie Yutang stared at the Nine Princes with red eyes, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "It's you, it must be you, it's you who said something to Wanwan, right?" β
He rushed up and was about to beat the Ninth Prince, but he didn't expect that his hand couldn't touch the Ninth Prince's body at all, and with a swing of his fist, it hit a ball of air.
Xie Yutang looked at his empty hands in a daze, and his stunned face was gradually replaced by horror.
"How can this be, impossible, impossible." Xie Yutang was stunned, and kept repeating this sentence.
Chi Wan's eyes were red, she was distressed, and she wanted to come forward to hug Xie Yutang, but her body still couldn't touch Xie Yutang.
"Yutang, that's enough, accept the reality, we are no longer people of the same world, from now on, we will live well. I'll always be watching you. After Ji Wan said this, she turned around and strode away.
Xie Yutang shouted in horror, "Wanwan, don't go, Wanwan, you are not allowed to go!" β
Even though he shouted heartbreakingly, Chi Wan still didn't look back, but the Nine Princes sighed silently and left with Chi Wan's pace.
Xie Yutang woke himself up, sweating profusely and getting up from the bed, the palace people who were keeping vigil heard the sound inside, hurried in, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" β
Xie Yutang's face was pale, but his eyes were blood-red, and he glanced at them, and this glance startled everyone, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck.
"No, Wanwan said that she would accompany me for the rest of her life, and she wouldn't just have an accident." Xie Yutang said firmly, lifted the quilt and got up, wanting to take a look at the starry sky, but it was dark overhead, and there was a star somewhere.
Xie Yutang was irritable, pulled out his whip from the wall, ran out, and practiced for a long time as if venting.
On the other hand, the ministers were also discussing how to let Xie Yutang ascend to the emperor's throne as soon as possible, in their opinion, Chi Wan and the Ninth Prince were already dead, and there was no need to look for anyone at all.
The result of the discussion was that a group of people in the early court asked Xie Yutang for his life, and they had to let him ascend the throne, and some did not hesitate to threaten suicide, and they were all old ministers. Xie Yutang didn't care too much about them, so he could only try his best to appease them.
"General, if you really sympathize with the old minister, hurry up and ascend the throne, so that even if the old minister is dead, he can be blinded."
Xie Yutang was a little helpless, this was too serious.
"Don't say that, there is a saying that you have to see people in life and corpses in death, and if you don't see their corpses, I believe that they must all be alive." He's unequivocal.
Hearing this, everyone was anxious and said, "General, the people you sent out have been looking for so many days, don't you still want to believe that they really don't have them?" β
Xie Yutang turned around and put his hands behind him, "They are not dead, they have not been found yet, I believe that they will definitely be able to come back." β
The ministers were very stubborn, Xie Yutang was also stubborn, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
Just when neither side could convince anyone, a county guard in the south sent a message that the Nine Princes and Chi Wan were all fine and were already on their way back to Beijing.
When Xie Yutang heard the news, he stood up on the spot in a gaffe, "Really? β
"Yes, General."
Xie Yutang was very happy, he was in high spirits all day, and when Chi Wan and the others had not yet entered Beijing, they asked people to go outside the city every day to guard, and as long as there was news, they would notify him immediately.
The ministers looked at Xie Yutang like this, and they didn't know what to say.
There were some people who wanted to marry their daughters to Xie Yutang, and they began to be angry, "I heard that Chi Wan and the Nine Princes came back together, they went to a large group of people, and there were only two left, guess what, during this time, the two of them were together, what did they do?" β
Everyone looked at each other, in fact, they also knew in their hearts that no one would believe that the lonely man and widow had been together for so long, and if something didn't happen.
"Hehe, that's the princess regent, let's not talk nonsense." An adult came out to play the round, playing haha.
But someone pouted disdainfully, "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself, do you want others to shut up what they have done by themselves?" β
"But there's no evidence for that?" The honest minister still thinks this is inappropriate.
"Hehe, you are so naΓ―ve, and no one is with them, who can guarantee that nothing will happen during this time? Don't be too absolute. β
After all, the people who are willing to believe are still in the majority, and after some of them go back, when chatting with their families, they inadvertently mentioned that their families like to go out and chew the root of their tongues, so soon, almost the entire capital knows that the Nine Princes who disappeared with Chi Wan are coming back, and Chi Wan is probably not innocent now.
In the teahouse, the storyteller loves to join in the fun, and compiled this paragraph into a book, which is said every day, and everyone listens to it with relish.
