Chapter Ninety-Four: Leaving the Capital
Chapter Ninety-Four
Leave the capital
As soon as Chu Tianfeng left with his front foot, Chu Ruohua and the queen came to the imperial study, but Emperor Tianxuan never saw him.
Knowing that the crown prince had just left, the queen hurriedly summoned someone to invite the prince to discuss Song Li's affairs, and the queen's people stopped Chu Tianfeng halfway.
Empress Chu Tianfeng discussed for a long time and there was still no good way, Emperor Tianxuan was determined not to see anyone at this time, so they had to wait and see what happened, waiting for Emperor Tianxuan's next move.
After leaving the palace, Chu Tianfeng turned around and went to King Jing's Mansion.
Song Huaijin came to probe Chu Rong's tone early, but Chu Rong didn't say anything useful except to comfort him, Song Huaijin was angry and anxious, but she was helpless, seeing that Chu Rong didn't want to say anything, she had to go home in disappointment.
Chu Tianfeng and Song Huaijin met at the gate of King Jing's Mansion, and when they saw Song Huaijin coming out, Chu Tianfeng hurriedly pulled him and asked, "What did the prince say?" ”
Song Huaijin shook his head, looking helpless, "He only said to reassure me, and didn't say anything else." ”
Chu Tianfeng's face showed a little embarrassment, "Hasn't the prince always cared about Li'er the most...... he kept turning in circles, Song Li was extremely important to him, he originally planned to find Song Li to see if the trip to the south would go well, but Song Li was arrested and couldn't visit, he took a deep breath and said worriedly: "You go back to the house first, I'll think of other ways, I always have to see Li'er to see what the situation is!" ”
Song Huaijin nodded, and the two parted ways again, seeing that Chu Rong couldn't find a breakthrough here, Chu Tianfeng had no choice but to set his eyes on Song Li again.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor said that unless there is his command, no one can enter, so don't be embarrassed."
Looking at Chu Tianfeng, who was domineering and had to go in, the jailer explained to Chu Tianfeng helplessly.
"I'm the Prince! Even I can't go in? ”
Seeing that the jailer refused to let him go, Chu Tianfeng had no choice but to use his identity as a prince to oppress people.
The jailer shook his head, his eyes kept flickering, "Your Highness, don't talk about you, even if the queen mother comes without the emperor's message......"
"Damn!"
Chu Tianfeng scolded angrily, his hands clucked, and he was helpless about the emperor's order, he glanced at the jailer deeply, and left helplessly.
Song Li ate and drank well in prison, and if she wanted to tell the jailer what she wanted, someone would bring it to her.
She didn't know that there was chaos outside because of her.
"Xiangjun, you can go out."
Su De came again during the night, but this time he took her away.
She nodded, opened the lock and quickly followed Su De out of the cell, and Emperor Tianxuan didn't know when he came to the prison.
"I heard that you were arrested, and the third princess almost tore down my imperial study."
Seeing her come out, Emperor Tianxuan smiled and pointed to the chair in front of her to signal her to sit down, pretending to be helpless.
Song Li sat down slowly, and was a little surprised when he heard that his eyebrows were slightly raised.
Emperor Tianxuan sighed and continued: "This afternoon, all the people who came to intercede with you are all big, and I don't know where your charm comes from. ”
"This can only show that courtiers are pleasing on weekdays."
Song Li smiled faintly and said unhurriedly.
Emperor Tianxuan glanced at her, took out a Xuantie token from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Let's stay in prison for the time being tonight, tomorrow Jingyan will come to you, when you leave the team to keep up with the prince, you can use this token to mobilize the informants in Jinyang City after you go to Jinyang." ”
"Yes!"
Song Li held the token in the palm of his hand, put away the smile on his face, and responded seriously.
"Don't let me down." Emperor Tianxuan looked at the look of uncertainty in her eyes, and said with deep meaning.
Song Li lowered his eyelids without moving, covering the flash of light in his eyes, "The courtiers will do their best to find the talisman and live up to the emperor's trust." ”
"Remember not to reveal your identity until you find the talisman, this is what your master explained to me in the letter."
"Yes, the courtiers understand."
Song Li bowed his head and answered.
"Countryman."
At this time, a palace maid who followed Emperor Tianxuan walked towards her with a tray.
Song Li took the tray and found that there were two sets of clothes inside, one was a black night coat, and the other was a brocade dress embroidered with a unicorn, which was the official uniform handed down by the penal army, and there was a silver mask on the clothes.
The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, she couldn't imagine that Emperor Tianxuan arranged it so carefully. She picked up the mask and put it on her face and found that it was the right size, apparently made according to the shape of her face.
Trying on the mask, she placed her clothes on the table, her fingertips tapping on the table.
"From now on, you will show yourself as the leader of the Punishment Army, and Jing Yan will be there to assist you, remember not to reveal your identity!"
Emperor Tianxuan stretched out his hand, and the guards behind him quickly put on a long sword with the hilt of a dragon's head, and a lifelike golden dragon was wrapped around the scabbard.
"This is the sword that the emperor accompanied when he resisted foreign invaders, and now I will give it to you, after finding the talisman, if you find that the king of Pingyang has bad intentions, you can use this sword to kill him!"
He took the sword and put it on the table, and said in a calm tone, as if he was saying something trivial and painless.
Song Li's eyes locked on the long sword on the table, his gaze sank inch by inch, Emperor Tianxuan's intention was very obvious, he wanted to borrow her sword to kill the king of Pingyang, the identity of the king of Pingyang is not simple, if she really dies in her hands, she will only be the one who will be guilty in the end, killing the vassal king is a serious crime, and the punishment of the nine clans is light......
Even if Emperor Tianxuan didn't push her out to take the blame, but with this handle in hand, she would become the fastest knife in Emperor Tianxuan's hands and do things for him.
"The Emperor's ......"
She looked at Emperor Tianxuan, her eyes condensed slightly.
"I'm sure you won't let me down."
Emperor Tianxuan ignored the embarrassment in her eyes and said lightly.
Seeing this, Song Li could only nod slowly, Emperor Tianxuan had said this, and there was no room for her to choose at all.
She no longer paid attention to Emperor Tianxuan, picked up the black night clothes and gestured on her body, frowning slightly, "Can Grandpa Su trouble you to help me find a few pieces of pigskin?" ”
Even if her dress changes, but her figure has not changed, familiar people will definitely be suspicious when they see it, especially Song Huaijin.
"Yes, Townsman wait a moment."
Although Su Decai didn't understand what Song Li wanted the pigskin to do, Emperor Tianxuan said that no matter what the requirements for gift-giving were, he had to do it, so he could only prepare obediently.
Soon someone came in with a pigskin, Song Li walked into the cell with his clothes, took off his original clothes, put the pigskin on his chest and shoulders respectively, changed into clothes and boots and appeared in front of Emperor Tianxuan again.
After putting on the pigskin, Song Li's shoulders became a lot wider, and his chest was thicker than before, but he looked more like a man.
"You girl has a lot of ideas."
Emperor Tianxuan looked at Song Li's changes, and couldn't help but nod his head, with a little appreciation in his eyes.
Song Li removed the jewelry on his head, then tied up his black hair high, and put on the mask, his eyebrows and eyes changed from the previous mildness to a bit of a strong color, and the aura on his body became cold and abnormal, and the whole person underwent a earth-shaking change in appearance and momentum, even people who are extremely familiar may not recognize her.
"You really didn't disappoint me, if I hadn't seen you change with my own eyes, I guess I would have been coaxed by you."
Emperor Tianxuan took in the changes before and after Song Li in his eyes, and a trace of invisible difference crossed his eyes, and then he got up and patted Song Li's shoulder and said with relief.
"You get some rest sooner."
Emperor Tianxuan left with a word.
"The emperor walks slowly."
Song Li bowed to Emperor Tianxuan, and it wasn't until Emperor Tianxuan left the prison that she slowly straightened up, and the chill between her eyebrows and eyes increased.
She picked up the long sword on the table, her thumb groping for the hilt, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Emperor Tianxuan not only wanted to retrieve the talisman, but also wanted to borrow a knife to kill people and eradicate the king of Pingyang.
King Pingyang has taken root in Jinyang for decades, and if she really makes a move against King Pingyang, it is still a question whether she can get out of Jinyang alive.
She can't sit still and wait for death, everything is arranged by Emperor Tianxuan.
She returned to the prison with the things given by Emperor Tianxuan, her eyes shining dangerously in the light.
"Miss Song, it's time to go."
At noon the next day, Jing Yanzhi came to the prison.
"Has the team left?"
She nodded slowly, put on her mask, and opened the cell door and walked out.
"Just left."
Jing Yan said, a little different color appeared in his eyes, he hadn't seen Song Li's figure for two days, and he actually changed slightly, and he looked more like a man.
Song Li saw the strange color in Jing Yan's eyes, but she didn't explain much and quickly left the prison.
There were two horses tied to the door, Song Li pulled one over, jumped and landed on the horse's back, nodded at Jing Yan, and said to him in a low voice: "Go." ”
Jing Yan looked at Song Li, who not only had his body changed, but even his voice had changed, as if he had seen something strange.
Song Li glanced at Jing Yan lightly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and pulled the reins, and the horse quickly ran up.
Jing Yan quickly turned over and got on his horse and chased after him.
The disaster relief team walked slowly all the way because they were pulling grain and grass, and Song Li was ready to open the road to the next town to wait for them after consulting with Jing Yan.
The two of them kept running wild on the loess road, and a black hair kept flying behind her.
In the evening, the two stopped in Qingshui Town, and they chose an inn near the official road.
"How many of you are guests?"
The innkeeper beckoned the two of them to tie up their horses and asked in a loud voice.
"Both."
After Song Li tied the horse, he clapped his hands and said to the little guy.
"Alright, guest officer!"
The servant invited the two into the inn.
Song Li picked two rooms near the roadside, and after ordering a meal, he put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the window watching the flow of people downstairs.
"Miss Song, do you want to wash up, I have hot water in my room."
Jing Yan knocked on Song Li's door and whispered.
Song Li retracted his gaze and hummed lightly.
After driving all afternoon, her body was already covered with dust, and she was sweating in the hot weather, and she felt uncomfortable with pigskin against her skin.
