In the morning, the convoy of the lord of Xiangdong Wang leaving Beijing was able to walk smoothly at the city gate, which was naturally due to Huang Jiulang's arrangement.

He was able to relax after receiving the convoy with his subordinates.

Because the city gate has long ceased to strictly check the people entering and leaving the city, after the convoy left, Huang Jiulang and the others were idle.

The things explained were done beautifully, and the people above also saw it, and Huang Jiulang and several people were rewarded.

After the night came up, the atmosphere in the city gradually became lively, but today's city, especially the Qinhuai River bank, is destined to have many fewer benefactors.

Most of the sons and brothers with status in the family can follow their fathers into the palace tonight to attend His Majesty's banquet, and as for those who didn't go, they naturally have a worse status.

The lovers of the girls who had always been favored did not come, and they were both sad and happy for him.

Huang Jiulang heard about the banquet in the palace tonight, and at this time in the evening, Huang Jiulang and a few people on duty chatted about the banquet, and what they could talk about was to imagine what was on the table when His Majesty set up the banquet, and looked forward to whether he would be able to have such treatment one day in the future.

One of the young men named Zhou Hang said with envy on his face, "I guess there must be all kinds of delicacies in the palace tonight, even the thousand-year-old ginseng has to be eaten by each person."

Huang Jiulang smiled when he heard this: "You kid really think that everyone is as empty as you, be careful to eat too much ginseng and spray nosebleeds."

Zhou Hang smiled and waved his hand, "Lord Huang, if you spray nosebleeds, you can taste it, I want to try it, I haven't eaten anything good."

After Zhou Hang finished speaking, the rest of the people immediately laughed at him for daydreaming.

Huang Jiulang also laughed a few words, who is not envious of the few people present, even if he goes to the palace on an errand tonight to smell the smell, it is also good.

Although there has been no chaos in the city recently, Huang Jiulang adheres to the principle of taking precautions, so he always tells his subordinates not to be careless, and to check carefully when it is time to check carefully.

At that moment, he still advised, "Don't be lazy with me over here, I'll invite you to drink when I go back."

Zhou Hang was the first to say when he heard this: "My lord, don't worry, our brothers have slowly become careful in doing things with you, and they won't be sloppy."

Huang Jiulang smiled, "That's good, then I'll go to other places."

It's just that as soon as Huang Jiulang's words fell, he heard a sparse footsteps from the long street behind him.

Several people turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, and sure enough, a group of people in military uniforms walked not far away, and the person at the head seemed to be dressed as a captain.

Because this team of people was coming towards Huang Jiulang and the others, Huang Jiulang didn't leave in a hurry but looked up and down a few times to see the other party's purpose.

Seeing this, someone behind him immediately spoke, "Lord Huang, these people seem to be going out of the city."

Someone else chimed in, "These people's clothes are still a bit messy, led by the people of the Royal Forest Army, and the others are like soldiers in the Divine Army."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Jiulang also noticed this, because he was not from the army, so he was not sensitive to this point at first, and he also saw the strangeness when he reminded him.

There are many people on the street, and the people come and go to make these people look inconspicuous.

In a short time, the group came closer.

Not far away, Huang Jiulang and a few others took the lead in greeting the person who was the leader.

Then Huang Jiulang met the person who seemed to be the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, because the other party's position was much higher than his own, so Huang Jiulang said in a low tone, "My lord, are you going out of the city?"

The rest of Zhou Hang and the others glanced at the people behind a few times, which was a little strange.

After Huang Jiulang finished speaking, the leader did not speak, he took out a waist card and lit it up in front of Huang Jiulang's eyes, Huang Jiulang suddenly found that the golden waist card had a royal character written on it, and he immediately recognized it.

Huang Jiulang didn't dare to be suspicious of this thing, so when he saw this, he immediately gave way and prepared to let a few people pass.

Huang Jiulang and the others bowed their heads and lined up on both sides, while the team of people and horses walked straight through the middle, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Although Huang Jiulang felt weird, he also acted according to the law, and there was no problem.

Huang Jiulang, who lowered his head, saw these people walking in front of them one by one, but he soon discovered an unusual detail.

Two of them were wearing long black cloth boots, which obviously did not match their outfits.

Seeing this, Huang Jiulang glanced up in a daze, and this glance almost made Huang Jiulang's jaw drop, because when Huang Jiulang saw the side face of the person, he immediately recognized the other party.

Huang Jiulang, the original Shangyuan Poetry Society, had followed Shen Kuang and a few people to the Linshan Courtyard, and had also seen His Royal Highness King Yuzhang.

But not long ago, Xiao Huai'an, the king of Yuzhang, was arrested for rebellion, but Huang Jiulang found that the person who appeared in front of him was the king of Yuzhang.

For a while, Huang Jiulang felt that his brain was not enough, he was not supposed to be in the prison, why did he appear here.

Because Xiao Tong and Xiao Huai'an were in a hurry to get out of the city, they didn't notice that they had been recognized by Huang Jiulang.

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Huang Jiulang's mind, and each possibility pointed to a point, Xiao Huai'an escaped.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Tong and Xiao Huai'an disappeared at the city gate.

Zhou Hang and the others stood up again when they saw each other walking away, but Huang Jiulang was still bowing his head and pondering.

Seeing this, Zhou Hang hurriedly reminded, "Lord Huang, they are leaving. 「

It's just that Zhou Hang said it three times in a row before Huang Jiulang reacted.

Several people looked at Huang Jiulang, who was in a trance, and they were all curious, why strange things happened one after another, Zhou Hang couldn't help but ask, "Lord Huang, what's wrong with you?" Those people are gone."

Because the stakes were so high, Huang Jiulang didn't plan to reveal it to them, so he just prevaricated a few words and said that he had nothing to do.

After a while, after careful consideration, Huang Jiulang planned to report the matter to the public.

Huang Jiulang instructed a few people: "You guys cheer me up, I have something to leave, if there are any suspicious people passing by, I must check carefully."

After those people left, Zhou Hang and the others felt that their Lord Huang had suddenly become mysterious, and at this time, when they heard that the adults were leaving, they felt more and more that something had happened, so Zhou Hang asked again: "Lord Huang, if something happens, you can tell us, and we will definitely help if we can help."

After that, the group agreed, "Yes, Lord Huang, we will all help."

Huang Jiulang still didn't explain, but said, "It's best for you to be good, wait until I'm done first." I'll go first, and you should be careful here at the gates."

After speaking, Huang Jiulang turned around and left.

Seeing that Huang Jiulang was in such a hurry, Zhou Hang and the others vaguely guessed whether it was related to those who had just left, but there would be no result for the time being.

————

Xiao Tong and Xiao Huai'an seemed to have a new life after leaving the city, because the two had different purposes after that, so they soon planned to part ways.

In the long pavilion when he first returned to Beijing, Xiao Tong was silent for a long time, and now he came back as if he was in another world, and his subordinates were almost dead.

There were only Xiao Tong and Xiao Huai'an left in the pavilion, and they still had something to say before parting, and the others hid on the spot.

Xiao Tong looked at Xiao Huai'an and said, "Xiao Huai'an, you really don't go to Langxi with me? What can you do now that you are alone, even if you return to Yuzhang?"

Xiao Huai'an heard this: "I still have to go back to put incense on my wife and children first, if there is no way out in the future, I will not be too late to go to you."

"Do you think I'm going to lose?"

Xiao Huaian shook his head and said nothing.

Xiao Tong seemed to have changed back to the original invincible prince at this moment, and he smiled when he saw this: "Then it is a word. Now that we have been able to escape, everything is still possible, and you and I will make a comeback one day, and the world is not in the bag?"

Xiao Huai'an smiled and nodded, "Let's talk about the future later, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be delayed, let's all go on the road earlier."

"We'll see you later."

"We'll see you later."

pair

Fang each hugged his fists and said his final goodbye.

was able to escape so smoothly, neither of them had any doubts at first, but when they got out of the city smoothly, Xiao Huaian felt more and more uneasy.

Because everything was really going so well, so smoothly that it felt unreal.

The old emperor is not a fool, it is impossible not to send Jin Yilang to stare at them day and night, so Xiao Huaian feels that there is only one explanation, and that is that the old emperor sees all this.

After separating from Xiao Tong, Xiao Huai'an, who was alone, did not rush to confirm his guess.

Just two quarters of an hour, Xiao Huaian left himself two quarters of an hour.

The moonlight fell on Xiao Huai'an's face, shining a faint smile on his face, which was not happy but more like self-deprecation.

Yes, how could it be so easy to escape and ascend to heaven, their lives have long been their own, and the old emperor has the final say on whether they live or die.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, a group of hurried pedestrians appeared in the depths of the night, and they came from Jinyilang.

Xiao Huai'an recognized the person at the head at a glance, who it was not Yuan Zhenhuan.

When the two met their eyes, no one seemed surprised, and this ending was expected.

Jin Yilang slowly stepped forward, and when he reached the pavilion, Yuan Zhenhuan motioned for the others to stop, and then he walked into the pavilion alone.

Yuan Zhenhuan looked condescendingly at Xiao Huai'an, who had been waiting for a while, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, come with us."

Xiao Huai'an looked up at him when he heard this, and said, "Lord Yuan, do you mind sitting with this Wang Xiao for a while before leaving?"

Yuan Zhenhuan sat down slowly and noncommittally when he heard this, and Xiao Huaian knew that he had agreed.

Xiao Huai'an looked ahead and laughed softly, "All this is His Majesty's plan again?"

Yuan Zhenhuan nodded.

Xiao Huai'an said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already gone away, won't Lord Yuan hurry up and take someone to chase after him?"

Yuan Zhenhuan was not afraid to reveal it to Xiao Huai'an when he heard this, so he said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty allows him to return to Langxi, but he can only return to Langxi. The few people around him knew, and so did the Langyu Wang clan. His Majesty intends to spare his life, and the Langyu Wang clan has to agree in order to save people, this is a deal."

Xiao Huai'an smiled when he heard this: "It's good that I saved my life, it's not too bad."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhenhuan looked at Xiao Huai'an, as if to ask if you really think so?

Seeing that Xiao Huai'an didn't mean to say any more, Yuan Zhenhuan said, "You and I both know that it is impossible for him to keep to himself from now on after returning to Langxi, including the Langyu Wang clan."

"Then why would His Majesty be willing to let him go?"

"Your Majesty's reasons."

Xiao Huai'an smiled and nodded to himself, "It's the same. Lord Yuan, what will happen to me?"

Yuan Zhenhuan heard the words and said slowly, "It may be death, or it may be life."

Xiao Huai'an on the side smiled when he heard this, probably thinking that this result was not bad.

"A floating dream, we have already lived a life, Lord Yuan, let's go back."

If he said that he didn't want to leave, it would be false, but now that he knew the result in advance, Xiao Huaian was not disappointed, after all, such a result was doomed from the beginning, but he was happy too early.

On the way back to the city, I looked at the Jinling city wall in the distance, which was close in front of me and far away in the sky.

Huang Jiulang wanted to report the matter to Jingzhao Yin Xu Youda, but Xu Youda went to the palace to attend the banquet, and even after the last lap, he didn't find a superior who could say anything.

After thinking about it all the way, he finally decided not to report it.

How can Xiao Tong, who has already gone away, know these things, maybe only when he arrives at Lang Yu will gradually understand.
