Chapter 188: Confrontation

Northside --

This is the most desolate place in the entire Tianqing Kingdom, and mountain bandits are rampant.

But after Xiao Yanzhi's arrival, the situation was a visible improvement. The streets are smooth, people come and go, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as people talk about the matter of suppressing bandits, the first thing that comes to mind is Xiao Yanzhi.

Liule listened to the endless admiration, smiled inexplicably, and went to a nearby restaurant.

After a long period of praise and admiration, he heard useful news.

"But strange to say, the adults haven't been there for a long time."

One of the women looked adoring, "I looked at him from a distance under the city tower that day, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but the whole body was magnificent, and I was willing to be a maid and stay by his side." ”

"That one is from the capital, even if you send it upside down, no one else will want it."

The other said that, and she wasn't angry.

Instead, he continued the topic just now, "He really hasn't been there for too long, could it be that he has already left?" ”

"Our adults haven't said anything yet, and we shouldn't have left yet."

"He's so busy, how can he stay in just one place?"

"You're right."

The two sisters finished their tea and left together.

Liule sat for a while and went directly to the lord's mansion in the north.

When he revealed his identity, the lord panicked, but not so distracted.

"Let me ask you, has the King of Escape stayed in the north these days?"

The lord wiped the sweat from his face, and his heart was even more nervous. Although he is far away in the north, he remembers every thing about the murderous name that Liule passed from the capital, as well as the things he has done.

He didn't dare to hide it, but he was also afraid of offending Xiao Yanzhi.

"My patience is bad, you ought to know." Liule was still smiling, but the cold air was like a shadow into the bone marrow of the person in front of him.

"You just have to nod or shake your head."

His head moved as he wished, and before he could react, he shook his head.

"But do you know where he's gone?"

The lord shook his head in disgust.

Liule glanced at him, snorted twice, and left the Lord's Mansion.

After going out, he immediately sent the letter to the capital as soon as possible, and he naturally had to stay here for a few days to see what was going on with Xiao Yanzhi.

The journey from the north to the capital, hundreds of miles, was also rushed for three days and three nights.

On this day, as soon as the old prince got up, he felt that his heart was beating a little fast.

"What's wrong with you? Plain with this expression? The old princess helped to put on her clothes, "Fang scared me." ”

"I'm a little restless today, it's been three days since I calculated the time, I don't know if An Guoyao is holding Yanzhi's sore spot."

"Anyway, don't panic and see what's going on on his side."

"Hmm."

After leaving the court, the emperor left the old prince and An Guoyao alone. At this moment, the old prince knew that something might be wrong with this matter.

Without the old prince to say anything, An Guoyao took out the letter he received.

"If Weichen is not mistaken, His Majesty asked King Xiaoyao to go to the north to suppress bandits?" Hot Books

"Not bad."

The emperor didn't know what Guan Zi An Guoyao was selling, and there was nothing to target this question, so he answered it casually.

"But......" An Guoyao said, "Wechen was worried that something was wrong with the prince's side, and he hadn't returned for a long time, so he sent someone over to take a look." ”

"Hmm."

"However, the Easy King is not in the North. Weichen's subordinates inquired, but they didn't know where King Xiaoyao had gone. ”

The emperor condensed his eyebrows and thought, and An Guoyao glanced at the old prince respectfully.

"I don't know what the old prince thinks of this matter?"

An Guoyao added with a smile, "In the past, if it was an ordinary official, if he had completed what should have been done, he should rush back to the capital without stopping." ”

"However, it seems that this is not the case with our Easy King." An Guoyao looked at the old prince's ugly face and smiled very comfortably.

Thinking in front of the emperor, he still restrained a little.

"However, the northern realm has already been governed, but not only is the King of Freedom missing, but there has been no news for so long."

"The old prince is the father of the King of Care, so have you ever thought about what the King of Freedom is thinking?"

The emperor also glanced at the old prince inquiringly, as if waiting for his answer.

Although An Guoyao did not say it explicitly, the three people present were all washed by power, and they could see clearly which idea and which means with just a glance.

This time, An Guoyao pushed Xiao Yanzhi to the mountain with ulterior motives.

Although the old prince was in a hurry, he couldn't see anything on the surface.

"What happened to this matter still needs to be carefully investigated."

As he spoke, he looked at the emperor in the high position, "Yanzhi's mind As a father, I know very well that he will never do anything with ulterior motives." ”

An Guoyao wanted to speak, but the old prince turned around leisurely, "Could it be that Lord An just relied on this to verify that Yanzhi is a ghost?" ”

"The official ......"

"You don't have to speak, Your Majesty and I, including you, are clear to each other about some means, do you need this king to untie this last fig leaf?"

After all, the old prince is a person who has fought for the world with the emperor, such as today's two points, Tianqing Kingdom faintly occupies the top, because of the Xiao family's father and son.

The father opened up the territory, and the son protected the territory from being violated.

Although he is getting older, the momentum around him is not weak.

"Your Majesty, the old minister vouches for his own personality, and Yanzhi is just delayed by something, and he definitely doesn't dare to have other thoughts."

Seeing that the old prince was so serious, the emperor immediately spoke, "I believe that the old prince does not have to be so serious and nervous. ”

Then he looked at An Guoyao, whose face was not very good-looking.

"An Aiqing, things like this need to be investigated clearly in the future, and we will talk about it after we get ironclad evidence, otherwise, if it causes a misunderstanding, it will be difficult to solve."

Two people, one to help him outside, the other to help him inside, all the emperor can do is to appease.

The old prince agreed, "Yes." ”

An Guoyao didn't expect that this would be the result today, but since the emperor had already spoken, he would not continue to pursue this matter, so he could only agree.

"You two are my right-hand men, so you should support each other."

The old prince answered, saluted and left.

An Guoyao was about to leave, but the emperor suddenly spoke, "An Aiqing, there are some things to look forward to." ”

An Guoyao was stunned for a while, bowed his head and said nothing, and left quickly after saluting.
