"Daddy...... You don't want to die...... You don't want to die......" The girl couldn't stop crying, and before she could say a few words, she coughed.

Chi Changting hurriedly patted her on the back and said continuously: "Daddy is not dead, Daddy is not dead, Daddy must protect himself!" ”

She coughed for a long time, then pulled him and cried, "Don't you go...... Don't go there......"

Chi Changting sighed, pressed her head to her chest, and said in a low voice: "Ah Tang, don't be afraid, Daddy will definitely not leave you again, Daddy promises you, promises to your mother!" ”

Such a guarantee did not satisfy her at all, and she shook her head and cried repeatedly: "Don't go...... You don't go ......"

Chi Changting sighed again, didn't try to make any more promises, just patted her back silently.

There was no way he wouldn't go.

Released to Wu County for six years, in order to close the net at this moment.

He couldn't help but go.

Only this time, he must get out of it with his whole body!

The girl finally cried so tired that she fell asleep.

Chi Changting carried her back to Jinnian Courtyard, and after a few words, she returned to the study with heavy steps.

A man stayed quietly for an hour, got up, washed up, and turned off the lights.

In the dark, he changed into a night suit and pushed the window out.

In the study of Fangchen Courtyard in Lufu, the candle flame has not been extinguished.

"Your Highness!" Salute on the ground.

Li Yan stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his expression faint.

The little girl Chi took the butterfly hairpin back, and Chi Taishou inevitably wanted to come to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, he had already expected it, and it just so happened that he also had something to explain to the Chi Changting-

"The prince's guard of honor will leave the capital, and I don't know who is responsible for the entourage?" Chi Changting asked.

Li Yan glanced back at him, slightly surprised in his heart.

Didn't you come to Xingshi to ask for sin?

"It's the people of the East Palace." Li Yan said.

Chi Changting's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Wenshe people seem to be Wu Xingren's clan?" ”

Li Yan's eyes moved, looked at him for a moment, and said, "Why is Chi Qing so panicked? ”

Although the vassals of the Eastern Palace were all from the prince's faction, the younger officials were more loyal, because their future ambitions were closely tied to the young prince.

Wenli is twenty-three years old, the family is not obvious, although the ancestral home is Wuxing, but as early as the ancestors moved to Jingzhao, Li Yan personally selected the East Palace house, different from the Qi State public line such as Chi Changting, Wenli belongs to the East Palace lineage.

Of course, Qi Guogong is Li Yan's maternal uncle, and Chi Changting has always been good friends with him, and he is also trustworthy.

But Chi Changting has always understood proportions, how could he dare to question Wen Li?

"The people in the hands of the ministers naturally know the roots, and the ones brought out by His Royal Highness must be confidants, even if there is anything wrong, they can deal with it in time, but after the prince's guard of honor leaves the capital, it will be up to the Wenshe people to make the decision, in case there is any accident-" Although Chi Changting did not finish speaking, he also expressed it very clearly.

Li Yan was slightly unhappy in his heart, and said, "What did Chi Qing think there would be?" ”

Chi Changting said calmly: "Leaking His Highness's whereabouts in advance makes Yao Wuji prepared!" ”

Yao Wuji, the king of Wuxing County, is exactly the target of Li Yan's southward journey this time.

When Taizu went on a southern expedition, he had the help of Yao's family, and the soldiers took Jiangnan without blood, and later named Yao as the king of Wuxing County, hereditary replacement.

Yao Wuji is the fifth generation of Wuxing County King.

Eight years ago, someone secretly reported that Yao Wuji, the king of Wuxing County, had the intention of rebellion, and the imperial court sent the superintendent Yu Shi Muhong to the south to investigate and collect evidence.

Half a year later, Mu Hong was killed by water bandits in Wudun Village, Wuxing County, and was only more than 30 miles away from Wucheng County, where Wuxing Wangfu was located.

Later, Yao Wuji led the troops to slaughter Wudun Village, handed over more than 100 bandits, and closed the case.

Later, there were also Qin missions sent to Jiangnan, and when they came back, they only said that the king of Wuxing County was loyal, and there was no abnormality, and almost all the nineteen county governments in Jiangnan Dongdao, which were rich in fish and rice, were under the control of Yao Wuji.

Today, His Majesty and the Duke of Qi agree that the Yao clan will eventually become a big disaster, so they intend to send their henchmen to Jiangnan to cultivate the power of the imperial court.

It was at this time that Chi Changting was placed in Wu County.

He was not alone, in order to make him take root in Jiangnan faster, it took a lot of effort in the capital, and Mrs. Yan Guo, who was supposed to live in the capital, also returned to Wu County and used her identity to help Chi Changting make friends with the Jiangnan family.

After serving as Wu County for six years, Chi Changting was also secretly investigating Mu Hong's death, until the beginning of this year, when he finally found some clues in Wutou Village.

However, before an in-depth investigation, a flood fell from the sky and flooded the village of Wutou.

The witnesses targeted by the people of Chi Changting were all killed in this flood.

Therefore, the crown prince Li Yan decided to go down to Jiangnan in person in the name of disaster relief.

Ah Tang said that the prince suddenly appeared in Wuxing County, indicating that the prince's guard of honor had not yet arrived, and it should be Li Yan who secretly took people to Wuxing.

In such a situation, he and Li Yan would not be unprepared, but they were still caught off guard by Yao Wuji, which shows that something outside the situation happened.

Before coming to Fangchen Courtyard, he went through the layout of Jiangnan from beginning to end, and found no flaws, so he turned his suspicions to the capital.

If something goes wrong with the prince's guard of honor and someone leaks the prince's whereabouts to Yao Wuji in advance, Yao Wuji will be able to prepare in advance.

Although the matter involves the descendants of the East Palace, it will dislike the prince, but Chi Changting can't help but mention it at this time.

Li Yan is not a person who is not willful, although he is not pleased, he still replied carefully: "Wenli's parents are all in the capital, unmarried, and have no children-" Wei Dun, "Eight years ago, it was Wenli's father who secretly reported that Yao Wuji had the intention of rebelling." ”

"Have you ever noticed if there is a woman you like?" Chi Changting is still not at ease.

Li Yan glanced at him and said, "With Chi Qing's previous experience, he naturally paid attention to it, and he has entrusted it to the Duchess of Qi to take care of." ”

Chi Changting didn't care about his ridicule, smiled slightly, felt a little at ease in his heart, and asked again: "Has His Highness entered Wuxing?" ”

Li Yan said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" ”

Chi Changting's eyes sank slightly: "In the past, Mu Yushi encountered bandits in Wudun Village, and the ministers were afraid that the old tricks would be repeated!" ”

Li Yan's eyes moved: "You doubt—"

Chi Changting nodded.

Not to mention Mu Hong's death, as far as Ah Tang knew in his previous life, the assassin must not be a water bandit.

Even if there are still remnants of the Wudun Village water bandits, how can the mere water bandits get benefits in front of the masters of the East Palace? Not to mention killing him.

"Yao Wuji has 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and Wu Junfu has only 3,000 soldiers, and all 3,000 can't all enter Wuxing, His Royal Highness's safety is the most important, please order the East Palace, transfer the Xuancheng garrison to standby!"

Wuxing County has a total of four neighboring counties, Wu County in the east, Jinling in the north, Xuancheng in the west, and Yuhang in the south.

Among them, Yuhang Taishou is Yao Wuji's person, while Jinling Taishou is a person from the Zhao Dynasty, although he is appointed by the capital, he is a member of the Zhao Dynasty, and only Xuancheng Taishou is neutral and clear.

But it's just neutral, and it's a bit risky to borrow troops.

Li Yan was silent for a moment and said, "The honor guard has brought three thousand guards, plus three thousand soldiers from Wu County, what is Chi Qing worried about?" ”

"Chen is worried that Yao Wuji has more than five thousand in his hands!" Chi Changting looked directly at Li Yan without avoiding it, and said in a low voice, "Minister...... There is a daughter, and the minister is afraid of death......"
