When Jiang Qiancheng received the emperor's holy decree to let him go back to the imperial city, he was still a little surprised, the number of those things sent some time ago, he thought that he was preparing to let himself stay at the border for a long time, but now it seems that he has taken a fancy to his ability.

Yue Qingming was quite happy, she didn't want Jiang Qiancheng to stay here, it was really dangerous, since the emperor personally called him back, then go back obediently, after all, the holy decree could not be disobeyed.

After Jiang Qiancheng received the order, he arranged the rest of the things in the barracks and returned the power to Lin Dong's hands.

Lin Dong learned that Jiang Qiancheng was going back to the imperial city, but he was a little reluctant: "Lord Wang, what if those Yan soldiers come to attack again after you leave?" ”

"No, they have already surrendered, and the surrender letter has been delivered, if it is really a sneak attack, it will be a loss of face for their Yan country."

"But you ......"

"This king has been here long enough, it's time to go back, the matter here is up to you, remember, don't be on anyone's side easily, just stick to your current position."

Lin Dong nodded vigorously, he directly Jiang Qiancheng was referring to the matter of defecting to the prince or prince of the imperial city, but Jiang Qiancheng was right, he held the military power, and he really shouldn't stand in line, just hold what should be kept.

Three days later, Jiang Qiancheng took Yue Qingming and set off to go back to the imperial city, bringing not many people, only some of his own henchmen and guards, as well as the greeting team sent by the emperor, and it was even quieter along the way, and there was no abnormal situation at all.

Jiang Qiancheng sat in the carriage, but he felt puzzled, he had been assassinated by the prince in the military camp before, and now that he had won the battle and returned, the prince did not move, it was really strange!

Yue Qingming guessed what Jiang Qiancheng was wondering about, and said with a smile: "We have been so smooth along the way, it must be that the crown prince was restrained in the imperial city, after all, his situation in the imperial city is not as good as it seems." ”

Jiang Qiancheng nodded, too, now that he has won the battle, the people who came to greet and escort him back are the emperor's people, even if the crown prince really wants to get rid of him, he will not choose to do it at this time.

At this time, the Imperial City.

The crown prince was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in the East Palace, walking back and forth, but he couldn't find any way to solve Jiang Qiancheng, he has now won the battle and returned to the imperial city, the emperor must value it, and those wavering officials in the imperial city will definitely choose to support him, and his position in the imperial city will definitely be precarious!

Damn, why didn't Jiang Qiancheng die under his own poison, and why did he survive unharmed? There is obviously no antidote to that kind of poison, how did he survive!

Fang Kui sat in front of the prince, his expression was much calmer than that of the prince, after all, it was already a reality, and now he was in a hurry, and he couldn't be in a hurry now, if he wanted to blame it, he shouldn't have let Jiang Qiancheng go to the border in the first place, but it was self-defeating.

Seeing that Fang Kui still had the heart to drink tea now, the prince angrily walked over and slapped the teacup in his hand, and said angrily: "When is it, you are still in the mood to drink tea?" Hurry up and help Bengong think about how to deal with Jiang Qiancheng, if he returns to the Imperial City smoothly, Bengong will be miserable after that! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's useless to be anxious now, they are already on their way back, unless they encounter some accidents on the way, it is impossible to stop them."

"Damn!" The prince stomped his feet anxiously: "If this palace makes a move at this time, my father will definitely guess that this palace did it, and he will definitely not spare me at that time!" ”

"So, instead of being in a hurry, it's better to sit down and have a cup of tea calmly, and then think carefully about how you want to deal with Jiang Qiancheng."

Saying that, Fang Kui poured a cup of tea for the prince, and politely placed it in front of him, the prince also listened to Fang Kui's words, although he was still in a hurry, he was already sitting next to him, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Fang Kui poured another cup of tea for the crown prince and said, "Your Highness, there are still a few days before Jiang Qiancheng returns to the imperial city, and there are many things that may happen on the way, so let's wait and see what happens." ”

The crown prince looked at Fang Kui with some surprise: "Listen to what you mean, are you ready to deal with them?" ”

"It's not me, it's someone else who doesn't like Jiang Qiancheng, we're just watching the fun."

The prince narrowed his eyes and took the tea handed over by Fang Kui, other people who didn't like Jiang Qiancheng? Is it Prime Minister Yoo?

Five Princes' Mansion.

Jiang Qianbai heard the news that Jiang Qiancheng was about to return to the Imperial City, and his face showed a look of surprise, it seems that after Yue Qingming went, Jiang Qiancheng's efficiency became a lot faster.

This war against Yan State, Jiang Qiancheng took nearly three months, to a certain extent, it was already very fast, but what Jiang Qiancheng had to face next may be more dangerous than fighting at the border pass, this imperial city, on the surface, seems to be stable, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and if you are not careful, you will swallow people!

Ye Xiuwen walked in from the outside: "Lord Wang, there is no movement in the East Palace for the time being, and the prince doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move to prevent the Seventh Prince from returning to the Imperial City." ”

"No movement?"

Jiang Qianbai touched his chin, this is strange, it stands to reason that the prince should try his best to stop it, if Jiang Qiancheng comes back here, it will not benefit him at all!

Jiang Qianbai asked again: "Fang Kui's side, is there no action behind his back?" ”

"No, it's quiet."

This made Jiang Qianbai a little surprised, these two people didn't react, could it be that they were discussing some bigger premeditation?

"Just in case, send people to meet Jiang Qiancheng and Yue Qingming outside the imperial city, be sure to bring them back safe and sound, if anyone stops them, kill!"

"Yes!"

On Jiang Qiancheng's side, when there was only one day away from the imperial city, he passed by a quiet mountain forest, which should have passed unimpeded, but the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was some commotion outside.

Yue Qingming was about to open the carriage curtain to check the situation outside, but Jiang Qiancheng held his hand down, and he said: "You stay in the carriage, don't look outside, I'll solve it." ”

Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned: "Then you have to be careful." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Qiancheng got down from the carriage, and Yama Wu immediately walked to his side, and in front of the carriage procession, there was a group of horse bandits wearing masks, looking at their appearance, they were planning to rob.

Jiang Qiancheng asked, "Where did these people come from?" ”

"I don't know, according to our intelligence, this place is close to the imperial city, and there shouldn't be horse bandits."

Jiang Qiancheng frowned, that means that someone called them here to block the road! It seems that some people don't want him to return to the Imperial City.
