Chapter 70: The Choice
"Who do you know, you can burn down the house for me without fire, so that our whereabouts are exposed, so we can only come to this broken temple."
Qin Puze showed a rare expression of gritting his teeth, it was like being pasted with cow dung, and it stinked so bad.
"Since the people are no longer with you, there is no need for me to stay longer."
A faint sentence almost didn't make Qin Puze spurt out a mouthful of blood, he was complaining to Shangguan Feibai full of grievances, as an old friend for many years and a childhood playmate, forget about two words of inconvenience, this means that he is not as good as those two people who have only known each other for less than a month? ! It's so hurtful, isn't it?
Shangguan Feibai just raised his feet and walked out of the broken temple 100 meters, and a richly decorated carriage drove on the opposite path, not that the frame was gorgeously decorated, but the material and every detail of the frame were perfect, giving people a gorgeous feeling at a glance.
Originally, he wanted to avoid it, but the carriage stopped in front of him first, and the moment the brocade curtain was lifted, he seemed to think of something, and the long sword in his hand couldn't help but clench a little.
A middle-aged man in a crimson satin casual dress walked out of the car, with a mustache and only a few wrinkles in his skin, looking like he was in his thirties, but in fact he was nearly fifty years old, which could be seen from the eyes that had no waves but filled with all the eyes.
Qin Zhuo raised his eyes and saw Shangguan Feibai, who originally wanted to salute in the carriage again, but thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly got out of the carriage and knelt down to bow down.
"See the Second Prince."
The person who set up the carriage also knelt down, looking at Qin Zhuo's figure, Shangguan Feibai had a somewhat gloomy mood, he hadn't heard of this title for a long time, so long that he was about to forget this heavy identity.
"The prime minister is exempt."
Shangguan Feibai replied lightly, he really didn't want to be involved too much, and the appearance of the person in front of him meant that many things had to change.
As soon as Qin Zhuo came, Qin Puze in the broken temple also came out to greet him, and when he saw Shangguan Feibai's stiff face, he felt a little better, saluted his father, and silently stood behind Qin Zhuo.
"The second prince is very smart, he must have known the purpose of the minister's trip, please see that the three generations of the old minister's family are loyal to the royal family of Chu State, go back with the minister."
When he said this, Qin Zhuo clasped his hands and saluted again, which showed his sincerity.
Shangguan Feibai didn't speak, although he didn't explain, he also showed his attitude, I don't know how many people the emperor of Chu sent to find him to return to China in the past few years, but none of them succeeded, at most, the New Year's sacrifice will stay in the palace for one night, and he will leave the next day, even the emperor can't persuade him.
After the silence, Shangguan Feibai didn't want to say more, turned around and wanted to leave, just turned around, out of nowhere, a bunch of people dressed in black and masked appeared, although he didn't know these people very well, but he also saw that it was his father's shadow guard, and he was not allowed to leave Beijing unless ordered by the emperor.
As soon as he wanted to draw his sword to highlight the encirclement, Qin Zhuo's voice sounded behind him.
"Please also ask the second prince not to resist more senselessly, this time it is the decree of His Majesty himself, be sure to ask the old minister to take you back, the holy decree will arrive the next day, please be impatient."
The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is, either go directly, or wait for the holy decree to come and then leave, and the end will be the same.
"Since the holy decree has not yet arrived, it is not too late to wait until I go back, I still have important things to deal with, and please don't stop Zuo Xiang."
Shangguan Feibai also did not back down, he didn't want to go back, since the holy decree had not arrived, he still had room to maneuver, as long as he didn't accept the decree, he could not go back.
However, Qin Zhuo would not let him go, otherwise he would not have been sent to invite Shangguan Feibai to go back without receiving the holy decree, Qin Zhuo arranged it in advance, as long as Shangguan Feibai refused to return to China, his subordinates would take advantage of Shangguan Feibai's inattention in an instant, and gave him the colorless and odorless medicine, the effect was like a soft tendon, making people temporarily unable to exert strength, let alone use force.
Being put into the carriage, Shangguan Feibai glanced back at Qin Puze, and Qin Puze was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up.
On the other side, Zuo Xiangling went directly out of Yuzhou City under the leadership of Ji Chen, which was said to be to avoid Qin Puze and his party while avoiding Jinyiwei.
Zuo Xiangling thought that she could avoid Jinyiwei and agreed, but she didn't expect Ji Chen to have other thoughts.
"Did you really send a letter to Shangguan?"
Even if she saw Ji Chen summon the Black Eagle and tie a letterhead to his feet, it still made her a little uneasy.
"Didn't you write the letter yourself, and you also watched me tie it up with your own eyes, why, do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you have no confidence in which of your ministers?"
Ji Chen has already figured it out, as long as Zuo Xiangling is coaxed to the capital and cured his father's illness, he will ask his father to make Zuo Xiangling a side concubine, even if he has married someone else, other things are not a problem with the holy decree.
Although there are suspicions, Ji Chen is not wrong, the delivery of the letter is all done under her gaze, there should be no problems, but I don't know when Shangguan Feibai will be able to arrive here.
"Okay, hurry up, otherwise Yuan Qike will find him."
Urging Zuo Xiangling, Ji Chen walked in front again, to be honest, he was very disgusted with walking, but now that he is penniless, it is impossible to want the most ordinary carriage or a horse, in order to make things more credible, this is also a helpless move.
Zuo Xiangling nodded, followed Ji Chen, and soon walked in front.
According to Ji Chen's instructions, after hitchhiking a few times, the two went to a farmer's house, it was already dark, they had nothing to defend themselves from, they could only live temporarily, fortunately, the farmhouse was simple, they said that they were robbed and were kindly taken in, which was regarded as a temporary shelter.
received a reply the next day, Zuo Xiangling was full of joy and looked forward to the news that Shangguan Feibai would pick her up, but what she was waiting for was the result of Shangguan Feibai's disappearance for no reason.
"He's definitely in trouble, we need to go back and help him!"
Zuo Xiangling was anxious, her movements began to panic, and it took a long time to react, and she had nothing to clean up at all.
When he wanted to pull Ji Chen away, he turned around and saw Ji Chen standing there stiffly, looking at her with a very strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
Why is it strange, it is the kind of expression that is indescribable, and there is a bit of sympathy and sentimentality in embarrassment.
"You can't wait for him, in addition to the news of Shangguan Feibai's disappearance, my people also told me that he seems to have left with the group that captured us, have you ever thought that we were arrested and escaped so easily, maybe it was his arrangement, in order to get rid of us unconsciously."
This is talking about getting rid of them, and Shangguan Feibai may be the only one who needs to get rid of them from beginning to end......
Zuo Xiangling fell into silence, and hesitated to go back to Shangguan Feibai.
