Zhao Rixin kept guessing in his heart, who wanted his life?

Although he is a prince, he has only been out of the cabinet for a few years, and he has not even been crowned king, nor has he had any real power, and he has never done anything to offend people.

If it's for revenge, I really can't think of which one is the enemy who hates him.

If it is for the throne, it is impossible, his father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his younger brother is still young, and it is the younger brother of his own mother's compatriot, he also knows what kind of character, it is impossible to treat him like this.

He looked at the killer who was hanging on the horse's back, his face was even paler, and said with some worry: "Sister Yang, will he not be able to get to the capital like this?" ”

Qian Yan looked down, "No, the bone injury on his body is not serious, but the leg is more serious, and now the bleeding has stopped, and there is no problem at all when he arrives in the capital." ”

She had seen it before, this person may have been stunned when he fell off the horse, and he was injured when he was hit by another person, which is estimated to be a little fractured in his arm and leg, otherwise he would not be able to escape later.

The most serious injury was the shot he thrown, which pierced the thigh directly, but it didn't hurt the bones, as long as the bleeding stopped, there was no problem.

His pale face was entirely due to excessive blood loss, and was not life-threatening.

Seeing her say this, Zhao Rixin nodded reassuringly, he felt that the younger sister of the Yang family knew more than him, and said that there was no problem, and there must be no problem.

Yuan Bao saw that he was still trembling slightly, and he didn't know whether he was cold or scared, so he climbed into his arms and lay on his lap.

Zhao Rixin touched the thick fluff on Yuanbao's body, exhaled a long breath, and felt that his body was completely relaxed.

Although I felt that I was calm just now, my body was still tense, and now that I said a word to Tilt Yan and was snuggled by Yuanbao, my body was really relaxed.

They walked forward for another half hour, and they could already faintly see the walls of the capital.

Qian Yan measured the distance with her divine sense, there should be seven or eight miles to the north gate of the capital from here, and if they hurry up, they will be able to arrive in less than an hour.

So she said to Zhao Rixin: "Now that we can see the city wall, let's speed up and strive to arrive early." ”

Of course, Zhao Rixin had no objection, and nodded yes.

As soon as she clamped the horse's belly, she began to speed up, and the big bear didn't need her to say more, she had already heard it just now, and ran directly with her.

The speed was fast, Qian Yan and Zhao Rixin didn't feel anything, the killer armor lying on the horseback was guilty, and they felt that the ribs on their chests were going to be reversed, and the wounds on their thighs were unconscious.

It's just that neither of them will care about him, they are both mortal enemies, if you don't want to keep him for interrogation, you will directly kill him to save trouble.

More than forty minutes later, they arrived at the north gate of the capital, and there were not many people entering and leaving the north gate at this point in time, and they were lined up in a short time.

When the soldiers defending the city saw their shape, four people immediately surrounded them.

Without Tian Yan to speak, Zhao Rixin showed his identity jade card and roughly explained the situation.

One of the soldiers hurriedly went to report to the commander, and in a short time two generals came down from the castle tower.

One is in his twenties and thirties, and the other is older, almost in his forties.

Obviously, the official position of the twenty or thirty-year-old is higher, and the forty-year-old is one step behind and walks behind.

The two stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Rixin, and respected the second son, obviously knowing that he went out in micro-suits, and it was not appropriate to expose his identity in front of the people.

Tilt Yan had already dismounted from his horse, and the killer was also taken down by two soldiers, and the car was driven to the side of the road, and they were invited to the top of the castle tower.

Following the young general up the steps behind the city wall, the three of them came to the third floor of the castle tower.

There were several rooms there, with a few windows facing outward, so that you could clearly see what was going on outside the door, and on the other side of the city, there were also windows on the other side of the city, and you could also see the inside of the city.

The twenty or thirty-year-old general bowed his hand again and said, "Huanqing has seen the second prince. ”

Zhao Rixin raised his hand and said: "How can Huanqing still be polite to me, you and I have been friends for many years, and we don't need these red tapes." ”

After speaking, he said to Qian Yan: "Sister Yang, this is my childhood friend Chen Zhengzi Huanqing, we can say that we have nothing to talk about when we grow up together." ”

Then he said to Chen Huanqing: "Huanqing, this is Yang Hengyue, the daughter of Aunt Xue that my mother often talks about, this time thanks to Sister Yang, otherwise I would have died under the knife of those five thieves." ”

Then he told Chen Huanqing about the situation at that time, and he still had a gesture in his hand, and he said it with emotion, expressing the tension and excitement at that time.

Then he said to him: "By the way, you also have to arrange for someone to go to the place where we were attacked, about twelve or thirteen miles to the north, in a bend between two hills, where those five thieves suddenly rushed out on horseback.

At that time, he didn't say a word, he rushed straight at us with his sword, just to take my life, and the other four people had already been ambushed, and this one was left alive.

I also wanted to interrogate him, but I was not good at it, and the thief refused to say anything, so I had to take the person back to Beijing and find someone who was proficient in this way to interrogate it well to see if there was anyone behind it.

There are also four corpses there, it's better to get them back too, and see if there are any clues on them, it doesn't sound like putting them there. ”

Chen Huanqing nodded yes, and kept looking at Qianyan, but was glared at by Zhao Rixin before he restrained himself.

Tilt Yan didn't feel any discomfort, the other party's gaze was not malicious, just pure curiosity.

Zhao Rixin got along with each other, and she could see that she was indeed a buddy with a good relationship, otherwise she wouldn't have come to him directly.

Although Chen Huanqing happened to be the captain guarding the city gate, if he wasn't familiar with it, this matter really didn't belong to him.

Although I don't know if the other party can find out anything, but the one who can guard the gate of the capital is not from an ordinary family, and he is the prince's hair, so he must have some origins.

After all, the gate of the capital can be said to be very important, and the same position as the general of the gate is higher in the capital than in other places.

Hearing what they said, Qian Yan spoke: "I also found some clues, I don't know if I can talk about it." ”

Chen Huanqing glanced at Zhao Rixin and saw that he didn't stop him, so he nodded again and again: "Miss Yang said that if there are any clues, it will also help us to verify." ”

Only then did she say: "I heard the movement in the middle of the night last night, got up and listened carefully, it was someone who was prying the door, I didn't know that the second prince lived next to my room, so I didn't go out to stop it."

But I also took a curious look, and found that it was two thieves, and when the second prince repelled them, I found that they lived in a room on the other side of my room, so I paid attention to it the next day.

The next morning, two men came out of the room, the same size as the two last night, and then when I left after breakfast, I found that the two men had been staring at the second prince.

And when we took the carriage out of Guandu Town, two people also chased after us.

In addition, there was an ordinary-looking, thin man who also chased after us until we met the five assassins, and the three disappeared. ”

Zhao Rixin was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen, and said to Qian Yan: "Sister Yang, why didn't you say it earlier, they have been following us all the time, it is for my brother to burden you."

It seems that those three people must have something to do with these five people, otherwise they wouldn't have left as soon as these five people came, maybe they told us about our whereabouts, otherwise how could the other party be so just intercepted at that bend. ”

You must know that in other places, people come and go on the main road, and unless you kill everyone, it is easy to leave traces.

Even if the other party came directly at him, it was impossible to kill many people in a big way, so that bend was the most convenient.

Even if there are people who walk there, they can hear the sound of fighting before entering the bend, and they can stop and leave in advance.

Qian Yan smiled at him and said: "I didn't think about this at first, thinking that those two were thieves who wanted to steal things, and they shouldn't dare after being repelled by you, and then followed behind, thinking that they were thieves who didn't die, thinking that I was not afraid of them anyway, and I could clean them up if I really dared to do it."

As a result, the three people followed behind them all the way, and there were no extra movements, but I didn't expect that there were five people waiting in front of me, and I was careless. ”

Zhao Rixin hurriedly said: "Sister Yang, don't say that, if it weren't for my sister, I'm afraid I would have died under these five knives, it was the thieves who were treacherous and hateful, and they had to be taken out and dealt with." ”

Chen Huanqing looked at Zhao Rixin for a while, and then at Qian Yan, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

What is his idea? He was thinking about how to make friends with Qian Yan and ask for advice on martial arts.

Zhao Rixin said that before Qian Yan saved him, he was still wondering if he went out with the guards, and the guards risked their lives to kill four thieves and left one alive, so Zhao Rixin would be safe and sound at this time.

After all, he and the second prince can be said to be big friends who have played together, and he still knows very well what the other party's strength is, but he didn't expect it to be this white and pure little girl.

Such a little girl was able to kill four strong men without being injured, and she also protected the second prince, which shows the high level of kung fu.

When he knew that the other party's mother was Xue Nuxia, who had saved the queen's mother, he was even more moved, and he couldn't wait to ask the other party directly if he could teach him a little.

There is no man who does not like martial arts, not to mention that he is still from a family of military generals, he climbed to the position of captain, although there is a family relationship, it is also inseparable from his own efforts, when he encounters this kind of martial arts, the first time is to think about asking for advice.

Of course, he also knew that now was not the time, and that it was important to get down to business, so he asked the three people about their specific clothes and appearances, and went down to make arrangements.

Let them pay attention along the road, and if they encounter it, they will be directly arrested, and the four corpses must not be thrown on the official road, whether they are buried or disposed of, they must be brought back.

After doing this, he explained that his subordinates were optimistic about the city gate, and he was ready to send them back to Zhao Rixin's mansion, and he had his own mansion after he left the pavilion.

Although he was not crowned king, the mansion had already been built, and he had moved out of the palace for two years.

Since she knew that He Linling was the queen, she knew that she would definitely not be able to stay in the inn when she came to the capital, of course, it should not be so easy to enter the palace, so it was better to go back to his house with Zhao Rixin first.

Settle down first, and see if she wants to enter the palace or what, after all, the words have been spoken, even if she doesn't go to see her, Zhao Rixin will definitely go and talk to his mother.

Alas, it was originally a peer, but now it is a generation shorter, and I didn't think anything about it in Xue Huan'er before, even if it was a generation, that is, from an aunt to a sister, at most a sister, and now I want to call someone else's aunt.

The three of them came down from the city tower, and Qian Yan directly handed over the five horses to Chen Huanqing to deal with, she was not short of silver, and there was no need to sell the horses anymore.

This horse fat and strong body is very good, and it shouldn't be the kind of ordinary people who raised it, so it should be best to give it to him.

Chen Huanqing didn't refuse, he happily took it, thanked Qian Yan repeatedly, and then the three of them took her carriage directly to Zhao Rixin's mansion in the inner city.

This time, Qian Yan sat directly in the car, and the two of them sat on the wheel and drove, of course, it was Chen Huanqing who drove, and Zhao Rixin would not.

Although he knew that Da Xiong didn't have to rush, Da Xiong had never been to the capital and shouldn't know the road, so he still had to be controlled.

From the conversation between the two of them, Qian Yan also knew Chen Huanqing's family background, he was the youngest son of General Shenwei, with such an identity, it was normal to be familiar with the prince, after all, he was the one who fought with Taizu.

Along the way, Chen Huanqing also asked Qian Yan from time to time whether their mother and daughter were from some martial arts family, otherwise how could the mother and daughter both have strong martial arts.

Is there any family heirloom mastery, can you take him as an apprentice and teach him?

Qian Yan hurriedly shook her head, their family does not have a family heirloom, but the family heirloom has great power, she is as powerful as her mother, so even if it is an ordinary move, it is twice the result with half the effort.

Zhao Rixin's mansion is located near the center of the inner city, not far from the palace, and you can see the high palace walls.

Qian Yan couldn't help but take a bird's-eye view of the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty with her divine sense, the palace room of Bianjing is five miles around the palace, and the main hall of the palace is called Daqing Palace, which should be the place where the ceremony is held, looking wide and magnificent.

The south side of the Daqing Hall should be the place where the ministers work, and there is a gatehouse between the Daqing Palace.

The north of the Daqing Hall is the Zichen Palace, which she has seen when she was studying history, it is the front hall of the emperor's view of the dynasty, and the congratulatory and receiving the envoys at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony are held in the Zichen Palace.

The vertical arch hall on the west side of the Daqing hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government on weekdays, and the Wende Hall between the purple chen and the vertical arch is the place where the emperor stays and rests after going up to the court and retreating from the court.
