Chapter 18 The Jade Seal of the Country

Xie Shence and Zhao Qi, the chief of the guard, entered Yecheng.

According to the address on Xie Shenwei's letter, he came to an inn and found Xie Shenwei.

"Second brother, you shouldn't meddle in this matter. The Feather Flower Pavilion shouldn't have been brought back either. "Yecheng, Xie Shenwei, the prince in the inn, said to Xie Shence.

After Xie Shence saw that Yuhua Pavilion was out of support at that time, he rushed out of the hillside at the same time as Lao Zhao, and after easily killing the remaining horse bandits, he quickly left the scene with Yuhua Pavilion. In order to avoid possible tracking, the two of them carried the Yuhua Pavilion on their backs and also flowed a section of the river. An old ox cart and an old farmer were hired outside the city to pretend to be a sick person before the gates were closed. The horses of the two were sent to the farmstead, and they made an appointment to pick them up when they left the city.

After entering the city, Xie Shenwei really didn't sleep, he guessed that Xie Shence would come overnight, so he had already ordered the store to prepare hot water to eat. I don't want to thank Shence and Lao Zhao for picking up a seriously injured person from the ox cart at the back door of the inn. And this person is also the Yuhua Pavilion that Xie Shenwei also knows.

After listening to Xie Shence and Lao Zhao's explanation, Xie Shenwei couldn't help frowning. Intuitively, Xie Shenwei felt that leaving the Yuhua Pavilion was a big problem.

"Second brother, you are not in Jindu, and Lao Zhao has not been there for the past two months. You don't know what's going on in Jindu lately. Xie Shenwei said worriedly.

What is the situation in Jindu? I really don't know about this thanksgiving strategy. "Big brother, Jindu, what's wrong?"

Xie Shenwei immediately walked out of the room, summoned a Xie family guard, and said, "A few of you, guard the entrances and exits on the second floor, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." You two, go up to the roof. After the arrangement was completed, Lao Zhao took the initiative to withdraw, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

"Big brother, what happened to be so cautious?" Xie Shence wondered.

Xie Shenwei sat down next to Xie Shence and said in a low voice, "Recently, the princelings and the Qi Wang Party have made big moves. ”

"The crown prince and the king of Qi?"

Brother Xiao Xie was surprised, the prince and King Qi are compatriots, but in recent years, the prince has been weak, and the king of Qi has gradually grown in wings, and the queen Sima almost died when giving birth to the prince, so he has always disliked the prince, but he has been favored by the king of Qi who was born later, so the king of Qi has a faint tendency to fight against the prince. Grandpa's previous letters mentioned the gradual loss of power of the crown prince and the rise of King Qi, which may not be secretly fueled by the queen.

"If the prince and the king of Qi have a move, then there must be a fight, and what can make the prince and the king of Qi fight must not be a simple thing. And tonight's fight is also very telling. Yuhuating was intercepted and killed by Shandong horse bandits, behind it should be the prince and the king of Qi wrestling, Yuhuating is Sima Laoer's person, Sima Laoer is the queen's own brother, that is to say, Yuhuating is acting on the orders of Sima Laoer or King Qi. So, the prince can actually use the Shandong horse bandits for his use? The prince actually has Shandong horse bandits in his hands. So this time the prince is almost exposing the hole cards.

What is it that deserves the prince to be so desperate? Power and beauty? The latter two are unlikely, that is, the right, what else can the power that can make the prince excited?

Throne! Yes, this matter or this thing must be related to the throne and has an extremely important and even decisive role in who can reach the top of the crown prince or the king of Qi, and it can be finally decided by His Majesty. So...... What could it be? Longevity Pill? Or something else? Xie Shence fell into thought.

"The second brother is really thoughtful, and his inference is not bad at all! It's just that thing, but it's not the Immortal Pill, it's," Xie Shenwei lowered his voice and said, "Inherit the Jade Seal!" ”

"What? Heirloom jade seal?! Xie Shence exclaimed in a low voice.

No wonder, no wonder. No wonder the crown prince and the king of Qi will be desperate to die, it turns out to be the jade seal of the country! So everything makes sense!

Why did Soochow perish? It's not because of the jade seal of the country! When the Great Jin Dynasty united with the Southern Song Dynasty to destroy Eastern Wu, why did they not hesitate to give up Jinling City and a large area of land south of the Yangtze River? It's not just to get the jade seal of the country!

After the destruction of Wu, the Song army did not enter Jinling according to the agreement, and the Great Jin Dynasty entered the city for half a month, turned the whole city upside down and did not find the jade seal, and as a result, the Eastern Wu royal family was tortured to all deaths and did not get the slightest bit about the whereabouts of the jade seal, so the army withdrew.

Now there is the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country! And when the crown prince and the king of Qi got the news, it must be a fight for life and death. Now although the two of them are high and low, no one can help anyone, so whoever can get the jade seal of the country can absolutely determine the future throne. The world has not seen the jade seal of the country for nearly 30 years! If the Great Jin can regain control of the jade seal, it is equivalent to having the biggest reason to launch a unified war, and it is justified (of course, the Great Jin is not Dongwu, and there will be no disaster of destroying the country because of the inability to wrap the jade seal, on the contrary, after more than 20 years of recuperation, the Great Jin has sufficient national strength to launch a large-scale war)! Correspondingly, the prince who found the jade seal must be the prince of the country and the next emperor!

Now, the clues that the two sides want to fight for at the expense of killing their hole cards are in their own hands!

Looking at the Yuhua Pavilion lying unconscious on the bed, Xie Shence once again hated his cheap hands. What's the trouble, it's clearly a huge explosives bag!

"Second brother, Yuhua Pavilion can't stay for a long time, once he sobers up, we will definitely be involved in the dispute over the country's capital. Grandpa said that it was a big taboo for the Xie family! The Wang family is high and the emperor is far away, Huaiyang Dao is like an iron bucket, the Sima family is a relative, and the prince and the king of Qi are the nephews of the Sima family. It's only me who is the Xie family, so I have to be extra careful. Xie Shenwei said worriedly, "In my opinion, it's better to ......" said and made a one-handed downward cutting action.

Kill him? It seems very tempting. Xie Shence looked at the unconscious Yuhua Pavilion and thought. After a few careful glances, Xie Shence found that this kid was not ordinary handsome, he was at the same level as Wang Ding, and his force value was still perverted, so he chose a good partner. Uncle can also fight, but it's not as good-looking as him.

Phew! What was I thinking! He's a decent male!

"Second brother, second brother, what are you thinking?"

"Huh? Oh, oh, big brother, Yuhua Pavilion can't be killed. ”

"Oh? Why? It's a big scourge to keep him, and besides, I can't beat him at the moment, and you've shown him that the power of the medicine will soon dissipate, and if he wakes up and wants to leave, I can't think of anything to keep him. Xie Shenwei said in surprise.

Yuhua Pavilion can't be killed, Xie Shence reacted instinctively. This matter is too weird, such a big battle can not be discovered, such a large-scale transfer of troops can avoid the vast majority of people, and is it too simple and rude for the prince and the king of Qi to act like this? There is definitely a ghost in this matter. In this case, it is better to keep the Feather Flower Pavilion. can't be unclear and be pulled in, and then unclear and unclear everywhere to be blind.

"Alas, big brother, you listen to me, and when everyone arrives tomorrow, I'll tell you what to do. Anyway, it is impossible for Yuhua Pavilion to wake up before noon tomorrow, as long as Yuhua Pavilion can be brought safely to Jindu, I believe that grandpa will definitely be able to solve it. Let's sleep in peace. Brother Xiao Xie said after a deep sigh.

Although he didn't quite understand what Brother Xie said, Xie Shenwei still nodded. Leaving two guards to guard, he picked up the horse chopping knife that Xie Shence brought back and went out together.

This prince of the majestic prince has a lack of interest in everything other than fighting. It's no wonder that Uncle Xie often ridicules him for "being a tiger idiot is my son".

"Open the door! Open the door! By the order of the prefect! Search for thieves, if you refuse to open the door! Punished as the same crime! ”

"It's coming! Here it comes! Oops! Ladies and gentlemen, uh, and all the military masters, the small shop is a serious business, there will never be a big thief here, the small shop does not dare to obstruct the handling of the case, only ask the lords to move quietly, do not disturb the guests. The shopkeeper looked frightened, but his words were extremely sophisticated. Seeing that the head official's face became more and more gloomy. He stepped forward, casually put it in the official's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't dare to bother your masters, the villain will lead the way himself." ”

The official is also an old official in the city, and he usually has a basic understanding of the big and small people in the city because of official business, and they also know each other. As long as you can complete official duties, it is easy to talk about some hard-earned money for wine and meat. It's just that tonight's incident is unusual, the prefect summoned the officials overnight, but did not say that it was to teach them to do things, but only asked a few people to lead the way and knock on the door with a dozen or so soldiers, but did not tell them specific matters, just let them obey the command of the big soldiers.

All the officials are old oils among the little people, looking at this posture, only people from above can do big things, where do they dare to receive any benefits. The small things of the people above are their big things, and the big things of the people above are their lives! It's a small matter to mess up and lose your job, but if you don't get it right, your life is not guaranteed. When he shook his hand, he threw the half-hanging copper coin on the ground, slapped the shopkeeper on the head, and said viciously, "Phew! Something that doesn't have eyesight! The government is handling the case, and you are openly bribing the officials! What is the intention? Lead the way with your heart! If you dare to have the slightest irrelevant action, be careful that the poor master has taken your person and sealed your store! ”

The shopkeeper was slapped with gold stars in the eye, and two molars were lost, how can you not understand that today is different from the past? hurriedly crawled forward to lead the way.

The officer turned sideways and made a way and said to the soldiers behind him, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

The dozen or so sergeants ignored it, waved their hands, and strode towards the stairs. The official and a few others sat on the table and chair closest to the door, and just waited with the cold tea poured by the shopkeeper.

"Brother Song, what is the origin of this group of people? Just let me wait to knock on the front door and hold the back door, but not let me wait half a person to go upstairs? A slightly younger official asked.

The old official surnamed Song glared at him, frightened the young official and shrank his head, and said slowly, "This kind of big thing is not something that I can ask about a little soap official." The prefect was shocked overnight, and it must be a great event. Besides, it was a search of the whole city in the middle of the night, or a sergeant, this is not a small matter. Not letting me wait to go upstairs to search, not only because I don't want to wait for bad things, but also to save my life. I'll just do what I'm told. ”

The little official sighed, and was about to go back to the alley tomorrow to brag to the neighbors, but was glared at by the old Song Tou and warned: "Boy, remember! Don't go out and chew on the root of your tongue! ”

"Yes, yes, I remember." The young man replied hurriedly.

"Master Jun, the villain has not had any guests in this store for two days. It was taken over two days ago, and only two people arrived after dinner tonight, and the entire second floor was theirs. The shopkeeper said as he led the way, covering his swollen cheeks.

(PS: Because some people said that waiting for the update was hard, the second was changed to five o'clock in the afternoon.)

You don't have to stay up until 11 p.m. )
