Chapter 596: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
As soon as Chu Min returned to the study with his front foot, his cronies followed him with his back foot.
"Sir, there is a situation in Jinling City."
Chu Min's eyebrows jumped, "What's the matter?" ”
The cronies said in a low voice: "A while ago, the emperor sent a letter to Jinling City on the grounds that he wanted to celebrate the birthday of King Jiangning, asking the prince to go to the city to celebrate King Jiangning's birthday. ”
Chu Min was taken aback, he didn't know about it, "How does the prince deal with it?"
"Just now my subordinates received a message from there saying that the prince was gone, and the prince had set up an ambush in the place where he left Jinling City, and he only returned to the city after he was injured by the assassination, so as to refuse the order to enter Beijing, but who knew that after the assassination, the prince was gone."
Chu Minxin instantly raised his throat, "What do you mean it's gone?" ”
The faces of the cronies were also very ugly, "At that time, the people who escorted the prince were all dead, and the whereabouts of the prince were unknown, and after the news was transmitted back to Jinling City, they immediately sent people to look for them along the road, but they never found any trace of the son."
Chu Min paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "Immediately block all the letters from that side, wipe all the involvement related to that side, move quickly, and definitely don't let people see any clues!" ”
He always had a sense of foreboding, that something big was about to happen.
Now that the emperor has no action, it must be just a calm on the eve of the storm!
Besides, after Zhu Lin robbed Xiao Shijie, he let the team disperse and went to the capital in several ways.
After a period of hurrying, they finally arrived at the nearest inn to the capital.
The two kung fu maids pushed Xiao Shijie, who had been disguised, into the wing room in a wheelchair, and the wound on his back should have healed a long time ago, but he had been running on the road all this time, and the wounds that had been healed had collapsed again and again, resulting in the flesh around his wounds now being rotten.
Xiao Shijie was weak and in pain in a wheelchair, he was weakened and weak, and he couldn't resist at all.
After entering the house, the two maids carried him to the bed.
After this period of observation, he knew that these two maids must be good at kung fu, and in order to prevent him from escaping, they would stay by his bedside for twelve hours a day.
Xiao Shijie was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he had been secretly calculating the itinerary, he knew that they must not be far from the capital, he had to send a message to his people before entering Beijing, otherwise it would be even more difficult after entering Beijing.
The maid walked in with the food, fed him one bite at a time, and after eating, Xiao Shijie said: "After so many days of travel, before entering Beijing, this son wants to bathe." ”
The maid glanced at him and said, "The wound on the prince's body is not healed yet, if the wound is wet, it will only worsen, but the prince still endures, and it is not too late to wash it after the injury is healed." ”
Xiao Shijie said with a calm face: "This son was made like this by you, just bathing, are you still afraid that this son will run away!" Or do you want this son to face the saint like this? ”
The two maids exchanged a look, "Shizi wait a while, and the slave will go out to prepare hot water." ”
The two maids withdrew.
Xiao Shijie sat in a wheelchair, gritted his teeth and pushed the wheelchair to the window, he took out the whistle hidden in his hair and blew it gently, the sound of the whistle was not sharp, it sounded like the whirring wind, and it would not attract the attention of others under normal circumstances.
He had set up a pigeon settlement outside the capital, and if it was close to the capital, his pigeons should be able to hear his whistle.
Xiao Shijie blew the whistle and gritted his teeth to push the wheelchair back to its original place and waited.
The two maids had only been away for half an hour, and when they entered the house, they didn't think much about it when they saw that he was still sitting there.
When they went out to fetch water again, Xiao Shijie heard the sound of wings fluttering outside the window.
When he looked back, he saw a carrier pigeon flying in.
He whistled softly and let the carrier pigeon fly to his lap.
When he caught the pigeon, he stuffed the paper he had prepared for the opportunity to stuff it on the pigeon and released it.
At the moment when the carrier pigeon flew out of the window, the door was pushed open by the maid again.
The two maids only glanced at him and then withdrew their gaze.
What Xiao Shijie didn't know was that the moment he released the carrier pigeon, the pigeon was beaten down.
The officers and soldiers took the letter paper taken from the pigeon's leg and handed it to Zhu Lin.
He only showed up on the first day Xiao Shijie woke up, and then changed his appearance and followed the team all the time.
Zhu Lin took it and looked at it, "This prince of Jiangning is really not simple, I don't know how many spies have been buried in the capital for a long time." ”
"My lord, is this news going to get out?"
"Spread it, if you don't pass it on, how can they save people?" If you don't save people, how can you end up with their dens," the emperor said, put a long line to catch big fish, and look at how many fish are surnamed Jinling in the fish pond in the capital! ”
Zhu Lin put the letter back on the carrier pigeon and asked the officers and soldiers to release it.
Early the next morning, Zhu Lin took Xiao Shijie back to Beijing.
Before the team stepped into the capital, Zhu Lin changed his outfit, changed back to his original appearance, and personally sent Xiao Shijie to the residence of King Jiangning.
When he got the news, King Jiangning hugged him left and right and fell asleep on the bed with a few dancing girls.
Hearing that Xiao Shijie had arrived outside the door, he was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed.
"People have arrived? When was this? King Jiang Ning hurriedly got up from the bed and asked his subordinates to wait for him to wash and dress.
"Back to the prince, the prince has just arrived, and it was sent by Lord Zhu Lin and Zhu, saying that the prince traveled thousands of miles to the capital to celebrate the prince's birthday, and there is no need to enter the palace to meet the emperor if he runs around on the road, and on the day of the prince's birthday, the emperor will personally come to the palace to celebrate the prince."
King Jiangning walked out after dressing up, and Xiao Shijie had already been sent to the main hall.
Xiao Shijie felt that his vision was dark, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure walking in.
There was a moment of tightness in the corners of his eyes, and his complexion gradually sank.
King Jiangning was also stunned the moment he saw Xiao Shijie, it was nothing else, he just felt too strange, if it weren't for Xiao Shijie's eyebrows and eyes that were a little similar to himself, he wouldn't have recognized it.
King Jiang Ning coughed lightly, "You've arrived, are you okay on the road?" ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Shijie is not very good, and King Jiang Ning is also speechless, and he is really not attentive enough to ask.
Xiao Shijie lowered his eyes, and his voice couldn't hear joy or anger, "My son is very grateful to my father for his concern, but I accidentally suffered a little trauma when I came, and I asked my father to find a doctor for my son to take a look." ”
King Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and stood up again before his buttocks fell, "Are you injured?" Who hurt you? ”
