After the body had been carried away, the butler walked in again, and when he came, he had already read the contents of the letterhead.

"The prince is going to the capital?"

Xiao Shijie's eyes narrowed, "The emperor is testing me, go, I will definitely go, but can I get to the capital smoothly, this is not something that this son can control, you can arrange it now......"

The housekeeper stepped forward and approached, and after hearing this, he nodded, "Don't worry, your subordinates will arrange it." ”

After Xiao Shijie replied to King Jiangning, King Jiangning entered the palace as soon as possible to explain the situation to Xiao Yan.

"Your Majesty, Shijie said that he will leave for the capital in a few days." This result was also something that King Jiang Ning didn't expect, and he was willing to come over, which should show that he didn't have a ghost in his heart.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face, "It's great that he's here, I must have a good chat with him when he arrives." ”

"Yes, yes, it is also a blessing for this child to be remembered by the emperor."

"Seeing that it's almost noon, Uncle Huang will stay and have lunch with me before going back?"

King Jiangning shook his head again and again, let's let him go! In the face of Xiao Ash, he can only eat a ghost.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the minister still has something to do, so I retired first."

"Since Uncle Huang has something to do, then I won't force him to stay, and send Uncle Huang out of the palace."

"The minister retired."

As soon as King Jiangning left, the smile on Xiao Yan's face sank, "Send a message to Zhu Lin, ask him to mobilize two thousand soldiers and horses to wait outside Jinling City in the shortest possible time, and let those two thousand soldiers and horses personally escort Xiao Shijie to Beijing." ”

"Does the emperor think that Xiao Shijie will not go to Beijing obediently?"

Xiao Yan's dark eyes condensed, "Who knows." ”

Xiao Shijie sent a letter to the capital before entering Beijing, stating the time when he entered Beijing, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yan would not be at ease.

On the day he left the city, he was even more fanfare, and he couldn't wait for the people of Jinling City to know that he was going to the capital.

Xiao Shijie took two hundred people and horses out of Jinling City.

There were many hills outside Jinling City, and Xiao Shijie's team arrived at the hilly area after walking out for two hours.

The hills on both sides almost obscured the sunset, and they wished you to set up late, for the sun had already set, and at night you would not be able to make it to the post station to rest, so you would have to camp in the wilderness.

Xiao Shijie sat in the carriage, and the halo of light illuminated his face through the curtain of the carriage.

It wasn't until the light was getting dimmer that he slowly opened his eyes.

"Shizi, it's getting late, and the team can't reach the post station, so they can only camp in the wilderness."

Xiao Shijie snorted.

Two quarters of an hour later, the team stopped in a clearing.

Xiao Shijie got out of the carriage and swept his eyes around.

"Are people still in the group?"

Hearing this, the guard whispered, "Yes, follow all the way." ”

Xiao Shijie nodded, he knew that there were spies in the capital, and he would do what he could, so that the one in the capital would believe that he was sincere in going to Beijing.

As the sky gets darker, a burning fire illuminates the surroundings.

Xiao Shijie went into the tent to rest after eating.

As the night deepened, all that remained in my ears was the crackling of the branches in the fire.

A dark cloud drifted through the sky, obscuring the moon hanging in the middle of the sky, and the earth was plunged into deeper darkness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, rolling up the sand and stones on the ground, and in an instant, countless black-clothed people quietly leaned over to this side, and before Xiao Shijie's people could react, the smell of blood had already wafted in the air.

"There are assassins, there are assassins!" The guards reacted and shouted, piercing the silence of the night.

The guards quickly got into a fight with the man in black.

Xiao Shijie got up when he heard the movement, but there was no horror on his face that he was sneak attacked.

"Shizi, there is an assassin attack, let's go back to the city first, right?"

Xiao Shijie walked out of the tent with a calm face, looked at the fight in front of him and said in a dumb voice: "How can a few clowns who jump off the beam block the way of this son to the capital, kill, kill all of them for this son!" ”

Xiao Shijie pulled out his long sword and joined the battle, but even so, the guards were still defeated.

The man in black is menacing and unstoppable!

The guards protected Xiao Shijie behind him, "Shizi, the number of people in black is too much, Shizi should go back to the city first, otherwise his subordinates are worried that Shizi will be in danger!" ”

Xiao Shijie's face was already stained with blood, but he didn't know if these people were his or someone else's.

Xiao Shijie clenched the long sword in his hand.

"The emperor wants to summon the prince back to Beijing, if the prince returns to the city at this time, how should he explain to the emperor? If you miss your father's birthday, isn't it unfilial piety in this world? ”

Xiao Shijie and the others still struggled to resist, but there were too many people in black.

Xiao Shijie couldn't, so he could only order a retreat.

"Retreat, go back to the city first."

As soon as he gave the order, the guards sent him to retreat to Jinling City.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when they retreated, another team of men in black came out of the shadows and pursued them vigorously.

Xiao Shijie turned around and saw a cold arrow flying towards him, his eyes darkened slightly, he could have dodged, but he didn't mean to dodge until the cold arrow pierced his shoulder blades.

The sharp pain hit, Xiao Shijie's eyes turned black, and before he lost consciousness, he only heard the urgent calls of his cronies.

Xiao Shijie slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly invisibly brought up a shallow smile.

Xiao Shijie woke up in a sharp pain, and when he opened his eyes, he was not surrounded by everything he was familiar with.

When a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he saw Zhu Lin walk in from outside the door.

Xiao Shijie twisted his eyebrows, he was sure that Zhu Lin was not his person.

"The son of the world is awake."

Xiao Shijie realized that in addition to the severe pain in his shoulder blade, he was also sore, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

"You, who are you?"

Zhu Lin raised a smile that he recognized as decent, "The lower official Zhu Lin was specially sent by the emperor to pick up the son." ”

The look on Xiao Shijie's face stiffened for a moment, "Pick me up?" ”

"Yes, the emperor was worried that the prince would have a long way to go to the city this time, and he was afraid that the prince would encounter an accident, so he asked the lower officials to bring someone to pick up the prince, but he didn't expect that the prince was assassinated on the way, but the accompanying doctor has already seen it for the prince, although the prince's injury cannot be healed in a short time, but this does not affect the hurry, and the prince can arrive in the capital at the original time."

Xiao Shijie's expression became more and more ugly.

Especially when facing Zhu Lin's piercing eyes, he couldn't wait to jump up and end him directly!

"The son of the world has a good rest, and the next official will retire first."

Seeing that Zhu Lin retreated, Xiao Shijie opened his mouth and was about to call his own people, but he shouted a few times, and only one of the maids came in.

"What do you command?"

Xiao Shijie had a gloomy face, "What about the guards of this world, where have they gone?" ”
