Chapter 631: Enchanted
Five days later, Princess Ji Ling, escorted by Yunlu's cavalry, had already marched in the direction of Lingshan for two days, and Danxuan rode on a high-headed horse and walked side by side with Yunlu's general Mu Tie.
Although this Yunlu general Dan Xuan is not familiar, he has met a few times, but his son Dan Xuan still remembers it vividly, and the fifth largest Shaomu Zhanyun in the imperial city is quite "fate" with Dan Xuan!
Dan Xuan turned around and glanced at the Yunlu cavalry who were marching neatly, but he was shocked in his heart, this cavalry corps all had serious expressions, and even the pace of the horses under the crotch seemed to be amazingly consistent, looking like a dead soldier, he secretly admired in his heart, once this cavalry went to the battlefield, it was definitely extremely amazing in combat effectiveness!
However, Dan Xuan and Ji Ling probably didn't expect that at this time in the Splendid Imperial City, there was an amazing news from the Xia Kingdom.
In the palace, the inner supervisor hurriedly shuttled through the labyrinthine palace, and the secret document he was holding in his hand was the news that had just been sent back from the Xia Kingdom.
In the Yonghe Palace, the emperor and the ministers were in the early dynasty.
The inner supervisor rushed directly into the main hall without even reporting all the way, and in a hurry, he almost tripped over the threshold of the main hall. The inner prison knelt before the temple!
The civil and military officials were stunned, the emperor frowned slightly, and said coldly: "What happened, so flustered?"
The inner eunuch held a sealed letterhead above his head, panting and puffing: "The secret letter that Xia Guo just sent back said that it was 100,000 urgent!"
The emperor and the ministers were shocked. Li Zhongxian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went down to the palace to present the secret documents!
The Emperor opened the secret letter, but there were only five words on it!
"Prince Gong ascends the throne!"
The emperor was shocked, and his heart was extremely shocked! Unexpectedly, after more than two months, the person who ascended the throne was not Chu Zehan, the prince of Xia, who was almost nine out of ten, but Prince Gong, who was assigned to Qizhou! Who could have such a huge power and stir up the situation in the entire Great Xia Kingdom!
"What about the messenger?" said the Emperor again to the kneeling inner prisoner.
The inner eunuch knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the person who delivered the letter has already died on horseback before he has delivered the letter to the splendid imperial city, and it is the soldiers who defend the city who brought the letter to the palace!"
The emperor's eyes narrowed and narrowed, and under the seemingly calm appearance, there was already a huge shock in his heart! If it is said that Prince Gong ascended the throne, then it means that Prince Xia and the monarch of Xia have already failed, and even if they do not die, they are definitely under house arrest! Even including the Empress Dowager Ju Ning, the mother of the country, unless she acquiesces, it is very likely that even she will have fallen!
Who is it, who is stirring up the wind and clouds in the dark, thinking of all the strange things that have happened in the splendid imperial city recently, Emperor Wenchang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, if the affairs of the Xia Kingdom are just the beginning, then it is very likely that the Western Jin Kingdom will be next, or their dignified Guyin Dynasty! The people in the shadows obviously want to subvert the entire situation in Nanchuan!
Under the main hall, all the civil and military officials were silent, and they could see that this secret letter sent by Xia Guo was definitely not trivial!
Above the main hall, it is surprisingly quiet!
After a long time, the emperor closed the secret document and turned sideways slightly, Li Zhongxian immediately leaned up to his ear, and the emperor said softly: "Retreat from the court, let the four generals go to the imperial study to see me!"
The emperor did not announce the news to the public, the situation of the Xia Dynasty seems to have nothing to do with the Guyin Dynasty, but in fact it is closely related, the balance on the Nanchuan Continent has been maintained for hundreds of years, once someone tries to break this balance, then it must not be a very simple reason.
However, on the way from the Splendid Imperial City to Lingshan, escorted by the mighty Yunlu cavalry, Ji Ling was getting closer and closer to Lingshan.
As it grew dark, the cavalry camped in a sheltered place.
In the carriage, Princess Ji Ling read softly with a book in one hand, and stroked Xiaohu's head with the other, and Xiaohu seemed to be able to understand what Ji Ling was reading, and he was fascinated.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Marquis Dan asks to see you!" Outside the carriage, Yan'er's voice rang out.
Princess Ji Ling interrupted the recitation in her mouth, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Let him come in!"
Dan Xuan opened the curtain and entered, he first looked at Xiaohu, but Xiaohu seemed to be a little afraid to look at Dan Xuan's eyes, dodging, but Dan Xuan really ignored Xiaohu's mood, bowed slightly to Ji Ling, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is still a day's journey from Lingshan, General Mu said that there are two roads to go, one is to go down the cutting valley, the distance is short but the road is rugged, and the second is to take the official road of Qiling City, the road is twice as long, but the road is flat!"
Ji Ling just wanted to answer, but saw that Dan Xuan actually made a silent gesture towards her, Ji Ling was confused, Dan Xuan pointed to his ear again, and Ji Ling realized that Dan Xuan was saying that someone was eavesdropping outside the carriage!
Dan Xuan tiptoed to Ji Ling's side, and didn't forget to raise his voice and say, "Your Royal Highness, since you can't figure out which way to go, then you should think about it first!"
Dan Xuan was hiding people's eyes, but Ji Ling was a little strange why Dan Xuan did this. Dan Xuan pulled Ji Ling's right hand, Ji Ling was startled, but Dan Xuan looked anxious, and wrote what he wanted to say with his fingers on Ji Ling's palm!
"There is a problem with Mu Tie and Yun Lu cavalry!"
Ji Ling suddenly felt a chill down his spine, what could be the problem with the Yunlu cavalry, could they still kill themselves?
Ji Ling pulled Dan Xuan's palm and wrote: "What problems can General Mu and Yun Lu's cavalry have, are you thinking too much!"
Dan Xuan's expression was helpless, and he continued to write: "You believe me, General Mu and the Yunlu cavalry definitely have a problem, they seem to have fallen into a demon, I have a strong premonition, they are very likely to attack us tomorrow!"
Ji Ling trembled, looked at Dan Xuan a little incredulously, saw Dan Xuan nodded extremely seriously, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, and wrote: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? What should I do now, just the two of us and Xiaohu, how can we escape!"
Dan Xuan pondered for a moment, and then wrote in Princess Ji Ling's hand: "You will say in a while that you want to go down the cutting valley, let them relax their vigilance, and when they are all resting, I will come to you, and we will escape together!"
Ji Ling knew what she said, but she also knew in her heart that this was definitely not a long-term solution, if Mu Tie and Yun Lu cavalry really had a problem, then even if she and Dan Xuan were really sent to the tiger's mouth, this was the only way to be feasible!
Ji Ling nodded solemnly, raised his voice and said, "Then go down the valley, this palace also wants to see the queen mother soon!"
"That's very good, that Weichen has retired!" As he spoke, Dan Xuan wrote two more words on Ji Ling's palm.
Sub-hour!
How smart Ji Ling is, how could he not understand the meaning of these two words! However, Dan Xuan just wanted to leave, but he remembered something, suddenly turned back again, and wrote in the palm of Princess Ji Ling: "Yan'er also has a problem, can't tell her!"
Ji Ling frowned slightly when she heard this, her expression seemed a little reluctant, but seeing Dan Xuan squinting her eyes and nodding seriously, Ji Ling also sighed helplessly in her heart, in fact, she also found that since she left the imperial city, Yan'er's behavior and expression were also a little strange, if you think about it carefully, it is really like what Dan Xuan said, like being enchanted!
