The wind in Beijing is loud and the wind is changing.

Before Sheng Hong left Beijing, he had some arrangements.

The movement in the palace and the movement of the court, someone collected the news and sent it to Sheng Hong. From the day he left Beijing, the secret agents around Sheng Hong who sent letters never stopped.

It's just that day by day, away from the capital, the time it takes to deliver letters is getting longer and longer, and the news is not so timely.

Qian Yicheng and others were sent to the capital, which took more than ten days, and after that, King Ning was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. Back and forth, the news was delivered to Sheng Hong for more than 20 days.

At this time, Sheng Hong and his party have stepped into Shudi.

Shu is mountainous, the terrain is steep, and the official road is getting narrower and narrower. There is an official road built at the foot of the mountain, which can only accommodate one carriage, and the long convoy winds forward, and it is impossible to get up fast if you want to.

There are many trees in the mountains, and the branches and leaves are verdant, which shelters the scorching heat.

Xie Mingxi had already lifted the bamboo curtain, and the cool breeze in the mountains was blowing, which was quite pleasant.

Trees can be seen in the distance, and mountains stretch in the distance.

Gu Shanchang wiped away the beads of sweat from his forehead, and praised with a smile: "The scenery of Shu is really excellent!" ”

"We walk on the official road every day, and what we see is nothing more than along the official road." Lin smiled slightly and picked up the conversation: "Rao is like this, and it is also a beautiful scenery." After arriving in Shu and settling down, we can see the real scenery of Shu. ”

Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will travel together." ”

Lin nodded slightly.

When I left the capital where I had lived for more than ten years, I was inevitably a little lost in my heart, and I often missed my family. It's just that it never shows it on his face.

More than half of the journey has passed, and I have entered Shudi, and I will be able to reach Shu County in a few days. Lin Weiwei gradually adapted, and his mood gradually became happy.

Xie Mingxi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and he accompanied Lin Weiwei to gossip and laugh every day.

The familiar sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the carriage.

Xie Mingxi turned his head to look, and the familiar figure came into view, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Sheng Hong always rode over five or six times a day, and Lu Chi also rode over from time to time to see his wife and children. At this time, both men rode along with the carriage.

"Mingxi, is Ah Luo crying?" Sheng Hong's riding skills are exquisite, and he is riding his horse slowly while looking around.

Ah Luo sat in Xie Mingxi's arms, and when she heard her father's voice, she was quite excited, waving her little fists. The mouth shouted loudly. It's mischievous and cute, and you can't help but laugh.

Sheng Hong loves her daughter like her life, and when she heard A Luo's delicate and tender voice, the tip of her heart was about to be burned: "A Luo, call Dad again." Then he sighed to himself: "I ride a horse during the day, and only at night can I hug Arlo." ”

Lu Chi teased: "Your Highness's hug is for an hour or two, and it's too little to hug." ”

Sheng Hong shot back unceremoniously: "At night, you also hold Brother You'er and refuse to let go." ”

In the carriage, Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei both laughed.

Zhao Qi listened with envy, and couldn't help but mutter: "When I settle down, I will write a letter to Zhen Zhen and ask her to come to Shu as soon as possible." ”

He also wants to spoil his wife and daughter.

At this moment, Commander Zhou immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice to report: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report in the capital." ”

Xie Mingxi's brows moved slightly, and he quickly exchanged a look with Sheng Hong.

Calculate the time, and there should be "movement" in the capital.

……

After entering Shu, every time he passed through a county, officials of all sizes in Shu came to visit the king of Shu along the way. There is no need to live in a post house, and the daily food, clothing and accommodation are properly arranged.

On the evening of this day, the King of Shu and his entourage lived in a courtyard dedicated by a wealthy local businessman.

The husband and wife took a shower and changed their clothes, and after dinner, they retreated. Ah Luo was carried to the house by Gu Shanchang, and Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi finally had time to be alone and whisper.

Sheng Hong sent a secret message from the capital to Xie Mingxi: "Sure enough, as you and I expected, the emperor took advantage of this matter to make a move on King Ning." ”

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, took the secret report, and swept his eyes to see it all.

This secret report is written in great detail. At the end of the day, there's really just one sentence.

The Son of Heaven and Empress Dowager Yu joined forces to suppress King Ning.

"King Ning has been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, the Ning Wangfu has been sealed, and the Criminal Department has transferred the matter to the Zongren Mansion. The Zongren Mansion thoroughly investigates the Ning Palace. Under the bright candlelight, Sheng Hong's eyes were sharp and compelling: "The queen mother's shot this time is quite vigorous. ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "The emperor ascended the throne for half a year, and he attacked the vassal king, which shows that he is anxious. ”

It's too eager!

The face is too ugly!

No matter how high-sounding the reason is, it can't hide the fact that the narrow-minded baht will take the opportunity to suppress the vassal king!

A trace of coldness flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes: "The emperor has long had the intention of suppressing King Ning, and the assassin I sent to the capital this time just gave him a reason and excuse to do it." ”

Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and pulled up a sneering arc: "I just don't know if King Ning will be willing to be arrested." ”

With her understanding of King Ning, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

The capital is about to descend into chaos and fighting.

Sheng Hong exhaled deeply: "I'm afraid the capital is going to be chaotic for a while." Fortunately, we have already left Beijing, and no matter how turbulent the storm is, it will not involve you and me. ”

Xie Mingxi said: "This may not be. We must pay close attention to the affairs of the capital, and we must not be negligent and slack. ”

After a pause, he said: "These days, I have been thinking about it carefully, and I always feel that there is something strange about the previous assassination. Maybe it wasn't King Ning's hand at all. ”

A flash of deep thought flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes: "You mean, someone has set up a series of schemes to wipe out me and King Ning?" ”

Xie Mingxi said lightly: "There is no evidence, it's just speculation." In short, we have to be cautious at all times. When you arrive in Shu County, you can't let your guard down. ”

Sheng Hong nodded slightly.

Conspiracy is never pleasant.

Sheng Hong said in a low voice: "We have to get up early tomorrow and hurry, let's rest early!" ”

Xie Mingxi snorted.

……

Five days later, the second secret report from the capital arrived in Sheng Hong's hands.

Zongren's Mansion thoroughly inspected King Ning's Mansion, and King Ning's close attendant Gonggong An had already confessed.

The matter of the assassins was ordered by King Ning, and Gonggong An acted on orders, secretly arranging for the assassins to ambush the king of Shu on his way. and ordered someone to kidnap Qian Yicheng's wife and children, force Qian Yicheng to comply, and set up a series of poisonous schemes.

Gonggong An has served King Ning for several years, and he is the old man next to King Ning, and he is also a close confidant of King Ning.

Gonggong An's confession, King Ning suddenly fell into a passive disadvantageous situation.

King Ning's mother's family, the Yue family, and the wife's family, the Li family, all ran out for King Ning. The henchmen under the command of King Ning couldn't hold it back, or angrily went up to defend King Ning, or secretly made some small moves to disturb the sight of the Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department. Then there is the King of Lu's Party and the King of Min who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters......

Inside and outside the court and the palace, the wind is surging.
