Wanli Road has already walked nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and the last step must not be wrong, otherwise the previous preparations will be in vain.

The people under his hand naturally didn't dare to take Duan Hengzhi's serious warning lightly, and they nodded one after another, "I won't let the adults worry." ”

There were several carriages in the team, all of which were sitting on prisoners who were escorted back to the capital, including the prince of Nanxuan, the second prince of the Western Qin State, and the Taoist boy who followed Miaoyin Niangzi, all of whom were key figures.

Now they can only take advantage of the fact that the forces behind these people have not yet reacted and bring them back to the capital, otherwise if their people know about it, they may be robbed and imprisoned on the way, and they don't know if they can stop it, if this matter is really delayed, Duan Hengzhi feels that he will be responsible for his death.

"Lord Duan, fortunately, we are on the main road and did not encounter heavy rain, listening to Zhao Wancang's pedestrians, it rained on the mountain not far away last night, and many people couldn't dodge." Zhao Wancang sat on the horse and walked side by side with Duan Hengzhi.

Duan Hengzhi nodded, "It seems that God blesses us, I hope we can reach the capital safely this time, otherwise you and my black yarn hat will be difficult to protect!" ”

This sentence did not scare Zhao Wancang, it is true, because of the war, the imperial court has been overwhelmed, and now that the culprit has been discovered, how could the emperor let go of these people.

Although they were sent out to arrest these people, once they were lost or robbed, the emperor would be furious and angry with the two of them, and any explanation would be pale and powerless, and no one would listen to their explanations.

Thinking of the possible consequences of raiding his family and exterminating the clan in the future, Duan Hengzhi had to think about it more, but he did not regret taking this case, after all, it was enough to let the emperor send him, it was enough to see that in the emperor's heart, he was a trustworthy person.

If he can seize this opportunity, maybe his official position can be even higher.

Zhao Wancang naturally thought the same, he brushed his beard, he has been wandering on the fringes of politics in his forties, and this time may be an opportunity to turn over.

The time soon came to the third day, and the group stepped into the capital, and Zou Shi and Tang Shan came here a day earlier, and returned the borrowed horse to the designated place according to the agreement with Jiang Gongzi.

"Sect leader, this capital is really prosperous! I just saw that most of these shops are three-storey, one more story than Suizhou, and the people here are much more elaborately dressed. Tang San said enviously.

Sure enough, it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and both of them came to the capital for the first time, although they had imagined how different it was before, but when they got to the ground, they found that their imagination was still lacking.

"The capital is the land of the Son of Heaven, how can the capital built with the strength of the whole country not be perfect." Zou Shiyan raised the teacup and said softly.

They had already arrived in the capital at this time, and as soon as they entered the city gate, they felt different from Suizhou, but after all, they came with a mission, and they must not be blinded by the prosperity in front of them, they found an inn and waited quietly for Duan Hengzhi and others to escort the prisoners into Beijing.

He still used the silver money that Wang Chuan prepared for Zou Shiyan, Zou Shiyan calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that the price of the capital was so much higher than Suizhou, so the silver taels originally prepared were definitely not enough.

Fortunately, Wang Chuan prepared a silver ticket with a huge denomination, and he also found a silver ticket wrapped in oiled paper in the change of clothes in the baggage, with a face value of five hundred taels of silver.

All of a sudden, my heart was full of emotion.

"Sect leader, can the people we are waiting for today enter the city, but don't do anything on the road, then we will fall short." Tangshan said.

"I don't know, so I'll just wait for them to enter the city and then investigate." Zou Shiyan shook his head, for Duan Hengzhi and the others escorting the prisoners into Beijing this time, he could only sit and watch them come.

Tang San nodded, and didn't ask any more, at this time his whole mind was attracted by the prosperity of the capital.

"Alas, it's good everywhere in this capital, but some dogs look down on people and look down on outsiders. You don't know, just now, I was walking with a person in the hall and the thatched house, he looked me up and down several times, and then scolded a foreigner and left, and he didn't tell me in the end. Tang San pouted, full of anger.

"Alas! There is no way to do this, just ignore them, we will try to hide our whereabouts when we come to the capital this time, and we must be low-key in doing things. Zou Shiyan said leisurely.

"Don't worry, sect leader, I can save these things." Tang San immediately assured that he didn't like to be angry, but when he entered the capital, he was often stared at by people's eyes, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go, let's go to the city gate tower in a while, don't miss Lord Duan Hengzhi and his party entering the city." Zou Shiyan said that he didn't want to spend more time on this matter.

"Okay, Leader." Tangshan should claim to be.

Soon, the two of them came to the city gate tower under the guidance of some passers-by, they were in a hurry, Duan Hengzhi and Zhao Wancang had just entered the door with the prisoner, handed the gate guard a token, and were soon released.

The group did not stop or return home, but marched directly from the city gate tower towards the palace.

Zou Shiyan and Tang Shan used their skills, slowly pursued all the way, and when they reached the outside of the palace wall, Tang San immediately stopped, his skills are still shallow, and it is good to be able to follow Zou Shiyan to the point where he is now.

Soon, this group of people came to the palace, and after handing over the token to enter the palace, the guards of the royal forest army were quickly released.

Qi Sheng saw a group of people on duty in front of him at the gate of the palace at this time, and when he looked at it, the figure in the front was more familiar.

"It's my brother!" Qi Sheng muttered.

In this case, Qi Sheng said in a low voice.

At this time, General Qi also looked at Qi Sheng, he nodded, checked the identities of Duan Hengzhi and the others and the weapons on his body, and was ready to let go, now is not the place to speak, and the timing is not right, although General Qi doesn't know why the emperor summoned Qi Sheng into the palace, and I don't know how he mixed up with Lord Duan of the Supervision Division, but they are all members of the Qi family, and they are all angry, and he can't take it lightly.

The two brothers glanced at each other and said hello, and Qi Sheng began to concentrate on taking the prisoner into the palace.

Li Ming got out of the carriage, with shackles on his hands and feet, and the same was true for Prince Nanxuan and others, but the former royal relatives and nobles became sinners, and they didn't know what their mood was.
